“She was so full of life,” shared a friend

The person killed during Wednesday’s mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade has been identified, reports The Kansas City Star.

Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two, was shot at the end of the Chiefs’ parade in Kansas City, Mo.

Lopez-Galvan’s employer, KKFI 90.1 FM, shared the Kansas City Star report and confirmed she was killed. “It is with sincere sadness and an extremely heavy and broken heart that we let our community know that KKFI DJ Lisa Lopez, host of Taste of Tejano lost her life today in the shooting at the KC Chiefs’ rally,” read the statement.

“Our hearts and prayers are with her family. We encourage anyone who feels they saw something to reach out to law enforcement at 816 234 5111. This senseless act has taken a beautiful person from her family and this KC Community,” concluded the statement.

The victim’s friends confirmed Lopez-Galvan’s death to The Kansas City Star. The publication reports she died during surgery after suffering a gunshot wound to her abdomen.

Lisa Lopez, a friend of the victim (no relation), shared with The Kansas City Star, that “[Lopez-Galvan] was the most wonderful, beautiful person,” adding, “She was a local DJ. She did everybody’s weddings. We all know her. She was so full of life.”

Kansas City Mayor Almost Brought Young Son to Chiefs Parade Where Gunfire Erupted: ‘Tragedy’
During a press conference late Wednesday, Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said that there was one deceased and 22 wounded.

It is unclear if the deceased is Lopez-Galvan or another victim. Graves said authorities are still working on the total number of victims.

An active investigation was underway and the scene had been “cleared” and made safe while authorities continue to collect evidence and conduct interviews, Graves said.

At the time of the press conference, Graves said three people had been “detained and [are] under investigation for today’s incident.”

“Right now we do not have a motive,” she added.

The Chief said the shooting began on the west side of the city’s Union Station immediately after a rally honoring the Chiefs, who won the Super Bowl on Sunday.

According to a PEOPLE reporter on the ground at the parade, loud pops rang out as soon as the confetti began falling as the players left the stage. Witnesses at the scene said they saw multiple people bleeding, although it was not clear what the source of their injuries was.

A woman who attended the parade with a group of friends told PEOPLE, “I saw two people bleeding on the ground and we got out of there as fast as we could run.”

Another woman, who attended the parade with her husband and daughter, said, “We heard the shots and I grabbed my daughter’s hand and ran with the group. When people start running like that, I knew it was something.”

The Kansas City Chiefs released a statement confirming the team’s players and their families are safe.

The ice skating legend, 65, says his pituitary gland tumor has returned, but he won’t treat it until he’s symptomatic: “I’ll just continue to stay strong”

Ice skating legend Scott Hamilton has had to face his fears many times in life, from learning to skate as a little kid to dealing with the grief of losing his mother to breast cancer in 1977. He also faced testicular cancer in 1997, from which he successfully recovered after surgery and chemotherapy.

He had to face his fears again in 2016, when he learned that a pituitary tumor in his brain had returned — for the third time. But unlike he had in years past, Hamilton felt confident in his decision not to treat it.

“When they gave me the diagnosis, they said, it’s back,” he tells PEOPLE. “And so they brought in this guy, a really young, talented surgeon, and he said, ‘We could do the surgery again. It’d be complicated, but we’ve got really talented people here that we could bring in, and I know we could pull it off if that’s an option for you.’”

But Hamilton says that the entire time the surgeon was talking, his mind was elsewhere. He’d already gone through surgery twice, first when he was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2004, and then again when it returned in 2010.

The second time around proved to be extremely complicated, resulting in nine different surgeries after an artery in his brain was nicked. Hamilton knew he didn’t want to go through a similar ordeal.

“All I felt was just, don’t worry about this. Just go home and get strong,” he says. “They go, ‘Well, what do you want to do?’ And I said, ‘I think I’m going to go home and get strong.’”

He didn’t know exactly what he meant by that. “I was just answering my spirit,” he says.

The decision proved to be a good one. “It’s been remarkable,” he says. “I went back to the scan three months later and they said, it hasn’t grown. I go back three months later and they go, it shrank 45%. I said to my surgeon, ‘Can you explain this?’ And he said, ‘God.’ I went back in, and it shrunk 25% again.”

However, the next time he returned to get it checked, the news wasn’t as positive.

“It had grown,” he says. “And then COVID hit and going into any kind of hospital situation was almost impossible. So in my spirit, in my inner being, I realized, I’m totally at peace with not even looking at it again unless I become symptomatic,” he says.

Scott Hamilton Reveals His Third Brain Tumor Has Shrunk Without Treatment: ‘I Was the Recipient of a Spectacular Miracle’
He understands not everyone would be able to comprehend this plan – and that’s not to say he won’t treat it eventually, when it’s needed…

“The ace I have up my sleeve is that now there is a targeted radiation therapy that will shrink the tumor,” he says. “And in that, I can avoid a lot of other things like surgery and chemo. So I don’t know, I’m mostly trying to be in the moment and taking all the information and do the right thing when the time comes.”

Hamilton, who turned 65 this year and is currently celebrating the 40th anniversary of his gold medal win at the 1984 Sarajevo Olympics, says his life’s achievements have truly exceeded all expectations.

‘I’m blessed beyond my wildest imagination,” he says, noting that his Scott Hamilton CARES foundation has funded cutting-edge cancer research that has saved countless lives, and that the Stars on Ice tour, which he helped launch in 1986, is still wildly popular today.

“I never would’ve thought to dream any of the things that have happened to me,” says the father of four.

“I never would’ve thought to dream that one day I would found a cancer organization that’s actually going to have impact and save lives. I never would’ve thought to dream that an Olympic gold medal experience would’ve allowed me to give so much back to my sport and help create a platform to give careers to so many of the greatest skaters in the history of the sport.”

“And to have my children and just how amazing they are, and my wife and how amazing she is? I never would’ve thought to dream any of it.”

The actress did a great job portraying love in the photos

Nicolas-Jacques Bardot is the only son of the famous French actress. The man was born in 1960. At first, Brigitte did not want to give birth to the expected child, but her love for Jacques Charrier made her keep the child and even marry the actor.

Bardot didn’t want the public and paparazzi to see her pregnant, so she refused to leave the house. The actress even gave birth at home. The mother was afraid to hold the newborn in her arms and even hesitated to heed him. The only thing she wanted was to return to her acting profession as soon as possible.

Brigitte and Jacques organized a photoshoot right after the birth of the baby to assure the journalists that they had a happy family life. The actress did a great job portraying love in the photos. The photos were sold to a major publication for a fair price.

Bardot and Charlier soon divorced, and the boy stayed with his father. In fact, Jacques demanded to raise the boy himself, and Bardot did not mind it at all.

Nicolas-Jacques majored in economics at the famous university in Paris. The man also enjoyed music and sometimes created tunes. At 22, the handsome man approached Pierre Cardin about working as a model.

While working in the fashion industry, Nicolas met Anna-Lin. Soon they arranged a wedding in Oslo. The spouses have two daughters together. At first, Brigitte refused to accept the girls as her granddaughters, but over time she also wanted to get in touch with them.

Currently, Nicolas is working in computer programming and technology. He is still in love with his wife, and now they are happily raising their grandchildren together.

Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, has recently moved into his new dream home, which he shares with his wife and two children. It will be difficult to believe that he would ever want to leave this place.

Recently, the couple has completed the construction of their ideal home on the eight-acre parcel of property that they purchased in the year 2020.

Nearly three years later, a gigantic mansion that features a lot of expensive amenities that would make even the royal family envious has been constructed on the grounds.

Mahomes added a pool, a private pond, a par-3 golf course, and a fifty-yard football field that includes a soccer net, according to an aerial photograph of the property that was provided by Front Office Sports.

In addition to being a co-owner of the Kansas City Current, his wife Brittany is also a former soccer player.

Nearly three years later, a gigantic mansion that features a lot of expensive amenities that would make even the royal family envious has been constructed on the grounds.

Additionally, his logo is displayed in the middle of the field, and the word “Mahomes” is written out in the endzone corner.

Cass County, Missouri is the location of the new opulent estate that the National Football League player and his family have purchased.

According to reports, the previous residence of the family, which is located in Kansas City, is currently up for sale at a price of $2.9 million.

According to Bro Bible, that house, albeit being magnificent in its own right, was not as large as their new estate. It had three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a pool, a hot tub, a wine room with a capacity of 500 bottles, a chef’s kitchen, and a wet bar.

Another property that the couple owns is a vast mansion in Westlake, Texas that is 7,800 square feet in size and was purchased by them in March of 2020 for $3.37 million.

With a view of the Vaquero golf course, the Westlake home features four bedrooms and seven bathrooms in addition to its other amenities.

The completion of Mahomes’ mansion comes five months after he became the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs and led them to victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.

Additionally, he was awarded the Most Valuable Player award for the Super Bowl for the second time in his career.

Both the NFL record for most total yards by a quarterback and the franchise record for passing yards in a season were set by the Chiefs quarterback, who threw for 5,608 yards and 5,250 yards respectively.

Adam Sandler and his wife had just celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary this month.
Adam and his wife Jackie Sandler have been together for 25 years and share two daughters.

Even though Adam has a rigorous schedule, the actor makes a point of spending quality time with his family.

Adam Sandler is a beloved actor and comedian with a slew of classic movies to his name. From romantic comedies such as “Just Go with It” to more serious projects like “Uncut Gems,” Adam is one of the most well-known and beloved faces in Hollywood.

Besides his longstanding career as an actor and producer, Adam is also a devoted husband. The “Billy Madison” star celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary with his beloved wife, Jackie Sandler, on June 22. The loving pair met five years before they tied the knot, meaning Adam and Jackie have been together for an astounding 25 years.

Not all Hollywood marriages last as long as Adam’s, which makes their 20th anniversary extra special. To mark this memorable milestone, Adam shared a photo of him and Jackie standing side-by-side on their wedding day. They both looked sharp in their wedding attire and Adam captioned the snapshot:

“Happy 20th my sweet Jackie! Your ‘I do’ was the best gift of my life. My heart has been yours since the first second I saw you and I love and appreciate your devoted soul more and more each day. Us. The kids. Lets keep going and going babe. Lots of love to give you. Always” [sic].

In the image, the happy couple stood holding hands beneath a walkway covered with white fabric. In the background, chairs wrapped in pink cloth were ready to receive guests, and in the middle of the snap, Adam can be seen staring lovingly at his bride while Jackie glances over her shoulder.

How Adam First Met His Bride
Half a decade before they would take this lovely picture on their wedding day, Adam and Jackie first ran into each other on the set of a movie. Adam was working on the 1999 film “Big Daddy,” and Jackie had been trying her hand at acting after starting out as a model. She had a small role in the film, playing a waitress in a sports bar.

In 2006, Adam announced the birth of his very first child via his website.

Jackie’s role in the film may have been minor, but it would change her entire life. Recalling the moment they met, Adam said, “We locked eyes and fell deep.”

After starring in the movie together, the two started seeing each other outside of work, and they soon developed a close relationship.

Years later, Adam and Jackie decided to settle down together, and the pair said their vows on June 22, 2003, during a lovely Jewish ceremony held at Dick Clark’s oceanfront Malibu estate. With an all-star guest list of 400 people — and Adam’s dog Meatball — watching on, the pair made it official.

In 2000, Jackie converted to Judaism — a testament to her love for her husband — and on their big day, Adam and his dog wore yarmulkes, and the actor bore his bride’s wedding band on his back, per tradition. After three more years together, the couple would welcome their first child.

Adam and Jackie’s Children
In 2006, Adam announced the birth of his very first child via his website. He tried to give himself and his family privacy despite the announcement of his first daughter’s birth by only writing, “Kid is healthy!! Wife is healthy!!” The little girl, named Sadie Sandler, was born at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.

Adam also opened up about life as a parent, saying his life centers around his kids.

Two years went by, and Adam and Jackie were having a blast raising their little girl. One night in 2008, however, Jackie decided to surprise her husband with some unexpected news, and she got their then two-year-old Sadie to help her.

Adam recalled that he came home after eight, which was when his daughter was supposed to be in bed. As he stepped through his front door, Jackie came up to him and said his little girl had a present she wanted to give him before she could go to sleep. Naturally, the dad relented, and Sadie passed him a tiny box.

Not making much of the present, Adam thanked his daughter sweetly, fully expecting her to go to bed after handing him the gift. But Jackie insisted that Adam open the box immediately, and, once more humoring his wife, he unwrapped it. Adam was stunned when he found a positive pregnancy test inside.

Adam’s Life as a Devoted Dad
Adam and Jackie welcomed their second daughter, Sunny Sandler, in late 2008, and it seems his two girls will be following in his footsteps. His girls have joined him in a number of films, and he noted that an essential part of his family life is spending time together and supporting each other.

Adam also confessed he keeps his marriage going by being there for his wife. For the actor, it is important to listen and communicate in marriage. “And we don’t ever think of not being together. We always talk about our future together,” he added.

Adam also opened up about life as a parent, saying his life centers around his kids. In an interview in 2014, the actor revealed he refused to see people after 9:30 p.m., always ate dinner with his family at around 6 or 7 p.m., and put his kids to bed. He confessed that being a parent can be demanding, and he has often stayed up most of the night with his kids when they couldn’t sleep, but he adores being a dad.

Many would imagine that Adam is living the life of a movie star, but in reality, the actor devotes most of his time to his family. He has said that his daughters are the most important things in his life. When they have a terrible day, Adam can’t help but feel like his day has been ruined as well.

Adam admitted that he has a tendency to worry about his children. Even when they’re doing fine, he wants to make sure that they’re happy. According to him, “I’ve learned in life now that when your kid is upset you’re rocked until they’re not upset anymore. Even when they’re not upset, you’re rocked.”

Princess Diana was not known as “The People’s Princess” just because it was a catchy moniker for her.

No, she became an essential person for the British to draw on and be inspired by through her charity efforts and compassion. As she famously declared, she didn’t intend to be the Queen on paper but rather the Queen in people’s hearts.

Her death was caused by a catastrophic accident in Paris, which is one of the most devastating occurrences in contemporary British history. Princess Diana’s legacy remains on to this day, not just via her sons William and Harry, but most importantly, in people’s hearts.

We’ve seen a lot of wonderful Diana photos throughout the years, but some of them haven’t gotten quite as much attention.

Princess Diana died at a young age, and her life was plagued by many challenges and tribulations. Unfortunately, she was followed everywhere and had a rough private life after joining the royal family.

Princess Diana was responsible for the upbringing of Harry and William.

Despite everything, Diana was a caring mother. She always put William and Harry first because the mother-of-two wanted her children to have as normal a childhood as possible.

Princess Diana frequently took William and Harry to amusement parks and other pleasant places. Of course, she was aware of what royal life meant, such as having food provided to them at all times and being expected to behave like perfect royal children.

She was also aware of the necessity of giving William and Harry the opportunity to be like any other youngster. She would slip them out of the palace to get fast food with this in mind.

“I remember the princess came into the kitchen one day and said, ‘Cancel lunch for the boys, I’m taking them out, we’re going to McDonald’s,” Diana’s former personal chef Darren McGrady told Marie Claire.

“And I said to your Royal Highness, ‘Oh my God – your Royal Highness, I can do that, I can do burgers.’” ‘No, it’s the toy they want,’ she replied.

Naturally, William and Harry enjoyed spending time with their mother. She raised them to be just like any other child, which they were in many ways!

Diana always tried to be the best mother she could be, knowing that brothers may and would quarrel from time to time.

She desired that her sons always be best buddies.

Royal historian Robert Lacey previously revealed facts about Harry and William’s childhood, including how their mother wanted the two boys to make an important vow to her.

Lacey describes the friendship William and Harry had during their youth and adolescence in his book Battle of Brothers. Princess Diana was determined that they would remain close throughout their lives, and she wanted the boys to pledge that they would always be “best friends.”

Lacey references psychic Simone Simmons, who used to consult Diana, in the book.

“You must promise me that you will always be each other’s best friends,” Diana allegedly told Simmons’ sons. “And never let anyone come between you.”

“Both boys promised they would keep to that,” Simmons said. “They high-fived each other and cuddled their mother tightly.”

“‘Anybody would have melted at sight,” she stated. “Then they went out to play soccer.”

It was evident from the start that Diana’s existence as a royal was not the end of the world. Her children were always her top priority, and she tried to shield them from anything that might come between them.

This included the Royal Family itself; Diana was said to be concerned that the Queen and Charles were planning to separate her from her children.

A statue of their mother was unveiled by William and Harry.

Although William and Harry made the aforementioned pledge to Diana, their relationship has deteriorated in recent years, beginning with Harry’s decision to leave the Royal Family in 2020.

William and Harry reunited a year ago on what would have been Diana’s 60th birthday to unveil a new statue of their late mother. Diana’s bronze sculpture, surrounded by three children, was installed in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace, her former London home.

“Today, on what would have been our mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength, and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better,” the couple wrote in a joint statement.

“Every day, we wish she were still with us, and we hope this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and legacy.”

It was the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death this year. William and Harry paid tribute to their mother, but they did it separately.

A royal source told People Magazine that William spent the day quietly with his wife, Kate Middleton, at Windsor.

Ahead of the anniversary on August 31, Harry spoke about his mother, saying he hoped to make her proud.

Princess Diana – Charles’s affair with Camilla

“I want it to be a day filled with memories of her incredible work and love for how she did it,” Harry said on the anniversary. “I want it to be a day to share the spirit of my mum with my family, with my children, who I wish could have met her. Every day, I hope to do her proud.”

Besides leading an extremely public life, Diana had personal issues like any other person. For the Princess, one of the biggest problems involved her husband, then-Prince Charles.

Just years after his wedding to Diana, Charles engaged in an affair with Camilla, who would later become his wife.

According to Prince Charles’ authorized biography, as quoted by Town Country, their affair started in 1986. Charles was still married to Princess Diana then, and she found out about it.

In 1989, Diana confronted Camilla over the affair, telling her to back off.

“I know what’s going on between you and Charles, and I just want you to know that,” Camilla recalled Diana saying, as quoted by Town Country.

“[Diana] said to me: ‘You’ve got everything you ever wanted. You’ve got all the men in the world falling in love with you, and you’ve got two beautiful children; what more do you want?’”

“So I said, ‘I want my husband.’ And I said, ‘I’m sorry I’m in the way, and it must be hell for both of you. But I do know what’s going on. Don’t treat me like an idiot,’” Diana said, as per Camilla.

The Queen broke royal protocol at Diana’s funeral.

From the public’s perspective, things continued as normal, but it didn’t take long before Charles and Diana’s fairytale life was history. In 1992, the couple announced their separation, though both continued with their official royal duties. Four years later, in August of 1996, they reached a final agreement for the divorce.

Besides getting a generous settlement, Diana was given the right to retain her apartment at Kensington Palace and her “Princess of Wales” title. However, she agreed to give up her title of “Royal Highness” as well as any future claim to the throne.

The passing of Diana was a shock to the entire nation and the world. Her funeral was held on September 6, 1997, in Westminster Abbey before she was buried at her family home of Althorp Park.

Princess Diana’s funeral had more than 2000 guests in attendance. Her coffin was drawn through London after the ceremony, where the British people had the chance to give their beloved Princess a last farewell.

Interestingly, the Queen was never required to bow her head to anyone. At Diana’s funeral, though, she breached royal protocol, bowing to the late Princess’s coffin as it passed her on a gun carriage. It was the only time Queen Elizabeth broke that royal rule.

Rare photos of Princess Diana

Diana was pursued by the paparazzi press for much of her royal life; it’s not a leap to claim Diana was the most photographed person in the world at the time.

In a nutshell, everyone wanted a piece of Diana. According to The Guardian, tabloids were willing to pay up to $500,000 for grainy photos of her.

Her sons, William and Harry, witnessed the press’s treatment of their mother. Harry stated that he wished to quit the Royal Family in his early twenties, mainly because of how his mother was treated prior to her death.

“Look what it did to my mum; how am I ever going to settle down and have a wife and a family when I know that it’s going to happen again,” Harry said. “I don’t want to be part of this.”

Throughout the years, many memorable photographs of Princess Diana have been taken. Sure, some of them were snapped by photographers seeking to sell her images. However, several photographs exhibit wonderful warmth and provide a breathtaking look at Diana’s life and profession.

A search through the archives yields hundreds of never-before-seen images of the late Princess. Some of these have been assembled in an effort to reveal a side of Diana that has rarely been seen.

Diana became a style icon at the height of her fame, and she took that with her to the slopes while skiing.

In 1990, Diana and the children – alongside her sister’s children – went to Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. Virgin’s Richard Branson owned the island.

Diana sure knew how to have fun. Look at this beautiful picture of when she and Harry visited the amusement park Thorpe Park in 1992.

Diana was often referred to as “The People’s Princess.” She participated in many humanitarian efforts, setting an excellent standard for how a kind and compassionate person should behave. Here, Princess Diana is seen visiting an Orthopedic workshop in Luanda, Angola, sitting with victims of land mines.

We can go on and on about these beautiful pictures of Diana. This one was taken in 1971 when she was on a summer holiday in Itchenor, West Sussex.

 

This one was taken outside Diana’s flat in Coleherne Court, London, before her engagement to Charles.

Here, Harry sticks out his tongue to people gathered around Buckingham Palace. Diana looks somewhat surprised.

The clothing brand Barbour is still a favorite among royals, but perhaps Princess Diana wore it best.

Diana loved Barbour, and during a visit to the Outer Hebrides in Scotland in 985, it was a perfect time to sport her Barbour-style waxed cotton jacket

Jayne Fincher, a royal photographer who took some of Princess Diana’s most iconic shots, followed the royal couple everywhere. She had chartered a plane to get out to the Outer Hebrides, where Charles and Diana were on an official visit.

“When I caught up,” says Fincher, “Charles said, ‘Where have you been?’”

The Outer Hebrides are exposed to the extremes of wind and rain, and Princess Diana got to experience some of that during her visit there in 1985.

But she looks terrific in the photos from the trip, and photographer Jayne realized one thing after checking the negatives.

“You don’t see Diana dressed like that very often. She looked so happy. It was pouring rain, but her makeup was perfect and un-smudged. I looked a mess, as usual,” she said.

The photo below was taken during Diana’s last summer alive. She is seen with her boyfriend, Dodi Al Fayed, on a boat in St. Tropez, France, jumping into the water.

We will always remember Diana as a genuinely kind and wonderful human being.

So please, share this article on Facebook with friends and family to honor her!

Gere has been married three times, with his third wife, Alejandra Silva, being 30 years his junior. Alejandra Silva, a true beauty, is the heiress to the vice president of the “Real Madrid” club.Before marrying the actor, she led a lavish lifestyle, largely funded by alimony from her previous marriage to a billionaire. Gere himself has often praised his partner’s vibrant allure, stating that she is flawless in every aspect.

Alejandra has openly expressed her deep love for her husband. The couple’s recent public appearance generated considerable discussion online.Currently, Richard is 72 years old, emphasizing their significant age gap. The once captivating brunette has transformed into an elderly gentleman: he has visibly slimmed down, and his hair has turned gray, yet his charming smile endures.

Before she began dating “The Terminator,” Maria Shriver had several opportunities to gain fame. In general, there is still dispute about who is closer to stardom. She has bright, happy eyes, and her photographs show that she hails from a respected family. Her forebears had given her size and beauty.

In 1955, Maria was conceived. She is a Kennedy family member and the 35th niece of the US president.Early on, the girl’s parents considered her education and upbringing. They recommended her to run for politics since that is what members of a well-known dynasty do.

Shriver opted to pursue journalism as a vocation. She was performing really well. She met Arnold immediately away. A young couple’s relationship lasted barely nine years, but their affection did. It was unknown why Mary chose not to interact with the young actor personally, or if her decision was influenced by her family. The men did, however, marry in 1986.

Schwarzenegger was already well-known, had intriguing assignments, and his financial situation had significantly improved by that time. Maria advanced through the NBC ranks to become a reporter. The family has two girls and two sons.Shriver makes an excellent wife. Furthermore, after being re-elected as Governor of California in 2003, the actor conferred upon her the honorary title of First Lady of California. Maria inadvertently influenced her husband’s political career. She is an excellent public speaker who works really hard and tirelessly.

In 2011, she resigned from her position as California’s First Lady. She then informed Arnold that she was leaving his residence. What prompted her to make this decision after 25 years of marriage? It’s easy to understand. It was revealed that Schwarzenegger had a relationship with the woman who gave birth to the man’s child.

Despite Arnie’s public apologies and beg for her forgiveness, Maria was naturally shocked and refused to accept the deceit.

It is unclear whether the divorce has been completed or the legal proceedings have concluded. Despite this, the ex-spouses have lived separate lives for a long time, speaking only on holidays designated for their respective children.

In public, Shriver exudes charm and gets along well with Arnold. On the other side, after their split, he seeks consolation in other women. Maria’s personal life has been difficult to manage, but there have been rumors of a relationship between the two for a long.

Anderson Cooper and his former partner, Benjamin Maisani, are collaboratively raising two children who reside with the journalist. Cooper, along with his kids, resides in a home converted from a fire station.

 

On February 10, 2022, Anderson Cooper revealed the birth of his second child during the “Anderson Cooper 360” show. The CNN anchor shares this child with his longtime ex-partner and close friend, Benjamin Maisani.

The pair also parents their first son, born two years prior. Benjamin, a businessman who opened the “Eastern Bloc” bar, has cultivated relationships with celebrities at his establishment.

While it remains unclear if Anderson frequented the bar, his friend Andy Cohen was reportedly a regular customer. Benjamin and Anderson, who were together for an extended period, welcomed their second child in 2022. When introducing his new son, Anderson named him Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper and shared:

“This is Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper. He was 6.8 pounds at birth, and he’s healthy and happy, even his occasional hiccups are to me adorable. He mostly just sleeps, and eats and poops, but he already seems like a wise and thoughtful little champ.”

The co-parent expressed gratitude to the healthcare professionals and the surrogate who assisted in bringing the child into the world. Anderson also acknowledged the surrogate’s family for their sacrifices and the love bestowed upon Sebastian during the past year. This wasn’t the first time Anderson announced his children’s births on air.

Upon the arrival of his first son, Wyatt Morgan Cooper, Anderson shared the news on CNN. During an interview on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” on February 25, 2022, Anderson updated viewers on Wyatt’s relationship with Sebastian, stating:

“They seem to be getting along really well. I mean, ‘Getting along well’ — Sebastian sleeps. He can’t say Sebastian yet, he calls him Luke. So every morning he wants to go say ‘Good morning, Luke.’”

After Sebastian’s birth, Anderson took a three-week paternity leave to spend time with his newborn son. Before the break, he spoke with Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa, expressing his enjoyment of bonding with his boys:

“It’s great to be able to come home and decompress.”

The proud father disclosed his nightly routine of feeding Wyatt and putting him to sleep on his chest, describing it as an incomparable joy. The mornings involve a routine visit to the diner, where Wyatt and Sebastian enjoy swimming. Anderson takes pleasure in preparing his sons for their afternoon nap by reading to them until they peacefully fall asleep in his arms.

Despite being a busy news anchor, Anderson ensures quality time with his children. He revealed that Wyatt and Sebastian engage well with each other, even playing with some of their father’s old toys. Anderson expressed his amazement at witnessing the incredible relationship between his sons.

Benjamin, a property and nightclub owner, embraced co-parenting responsibilities with Anderson upon Wyatt’s birth. Anderson emphasized that they would co-parent even though they were no longer a couple, stating, “We’re a family.”

In an interview, Anderson described their co-parenting dynamic as effortless. Benjamin takes care of the children when Anderson works at night, and together, they start their day just before the boys wake up. According to Anderson, Benjamin communicates with their sons in French.

Anderson clarified that they are co-parenting Sebastian, asserting, “We’re co-parents. We’re a family.” Benjamin was in the process of legally adopting their first child, who affectionately calls him “papa.”

During a September 2023 interview, the 56-year-old renowned broadcaster expressed his joy at fatherhood, declaring it the best time in his life.

Anderson’s Relationship & Co-parenting with Benjamin Maisani Anderson and Benjamin commenced their relationship in 2009, went public in 2015, and announced their separation in 2018. Despite the breakup, Anderson emphasized their strong bond, stating:

“Maisani is going to be a co-parent to Wyatt even though we’re not together anymore. He’s my family, and I want him to be Wyatt’s family as well.”

In September 2021, Anderson discussed their unique co-parenting arrangement, acknowledging its unconventional nature. He acknowledged that it might be unusual but highlighted its success, noting:

“It’s probably an unusual setup, but I knew he would be a great dad, and he is. We’re exes, but we’re family to each other, and we love each other as family and as co-parents.”

While Anderson frequently shares updates on his older son, Benjamin is less active on social media. However, he once remarked that Anderson’s perspective on parenting changed when Wyatt was born, and Anderson elaborated on their co-parenting dynamics, asserting:

“I’ve always believed that if you’ve been with somebody and that ends, in terms of an intimate relationship, if you love somebody, there’s no reason why that love shouldn’t continue.”

In a February 2021 interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Anderson disclosed that he and Benjamin initially had different views on starting a family. Anderson explained:

“It’s interesting because he wasn’t really sure he wanted to have a kid — which is one of the reasons we probably broke up — but then he came around to the idea. Now he is such a great parent.”

Inside Anderson’s Firehouse, Where He Lives with His Kids On June 9, 2020, Anderson provided People with a tour of his home converted from a fire station. The tour showcased Wyatt’s nursery, predominantly themed in blue throughout the space.

The nursery was a work in progress, with some photos yet to be hung. A painting by Anderson’s late mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, featuring herself and Anderson’s late father, for whom Wyatt was named, adorned one side of the room.

In September 2010, Anderson acquired the Greenwich Village firehouse in New York, spanning 8,240 square feet, for $4.3 million. The firehouse retained its original features, including brass fire poles, dry hoses, spiral staircases, and murals on the walls depicting the station’s history.

In 2015, David Beckham and Kevin Hart chose Anderson’s residence as the backdrop for an H&M campaign. In September 2018, during a three-day interaction with The Hollywood Reporter, the “60 Minutes” correspondent indirectly showcased his house. Living with his Welsh springer spaniel, Lilly, Anderson had separated from Benjamin earlier that year.

Over the years, Anderson dedicated efforts to restore and enhance the firehouse, even adding an elevator. The second floor boasts a salon adorned with taxidermy, Old Master paintings, and hand-painted signs collected from trips to Cuba and Africa.

The West Village dwelling features a kitchen island, and the living room showcases a side table adorned with a Victorian calendar discovered in his mother’s bedroom. The calendar bears the date July 22, 1988, marking the day Anderson’s brother, Carter Cooper, tragically died by suicide at the age of 23 in their mother’s apartment.

Following Carter’s death, Gloria relocated multiple times, preserving the calendar. Anderson chose not to part with everything after his mother’s passing and the subsequent disposal of her apartment.

Personal artifacts, including his great-great-grandfather’s Civil War commissioning notice, are displayed in the home. A photograph by his late friend, Tim Hetherington, captures a younger Anderson in Afghanistan.

One distinctive item in the residence is an 18th-century Italian marble Memento Mori. Renovated by architect Cary Tamarkin, the firehouse, constructed in 1906, preserves the interiors of the 20th-century Beaux-Arts building.

In 2015, Anderson’s home served as the setting for an H&M campaign featuring David Beckham and Kevin Hart. The advertisement provided fans a glimpse into Anderson’s exquisite residence, showcasing the living room, gym, roof terrace, and one of the bedrooms.

In 2019, Anderson lost his mother at the age of 95. Long before her passing, he had experienced the loss of his brother, a decade after their father’s death from a heart attack in 1978. After avoiding the grieving process for many years, Anderson confronted it on his podcast, “All There Is With Anderson Cooper,” where he interviewed actress Molly Shannon, bringing solace and a sense of shared experience.
