Recently, Hollywood actress Lisa Rinna treated her followers to a unique image.💥

Lisa Rinna has always delighted her fans with her unique beauty. The actress played a role in the films «Sex, Lies, and Obsession» and «Melrose District» and became popular.

Recently, the writer and businesswoman posted a photo of herself relaxing on a Canadian lake. Lisa became a mother and now has two adult children married to actor Harry Hamlin. She had two daughters in 1998 and 2001, but she has always had an amazing body.

In this photo, 60-year-old Lisa put her hands on her knees in a sexy pose. It was shocking for the fans. They enjoyed the impeccable body of the actress. The photo showed her large breasts and thin hips.

The model wore a black bikini and was wearing a nice straight-brimmed hat. The hat covered the eyes of the actress. Beautiful nature complemented the beauty of photo.

Jennifer Grey, who played ‘Baby’ in the iconic movie Dirty Dancing, was predicted to enjoy a significant upturn in career prospects.

However, it wasn’t to be. Instead, a tragic accident changed everything, forcing her to turn her back on the film industry for good.

Decades later, Jennifer Grey, now 62, finally opened up about the terrible period in her life that left her scarred forever…

No big actors, not a well-known director, and overall a low-budget movie.

Yet, the very moment Dirty Dancing hit the big screen in August 1987, the producers and cast knew they’d accomplished something enormous.

For male lead Patrick Swayze, the success was instantaneous. He became a teen idol and sex symbol, going on to land roles in big movies like Ghost and Donnie Darko.

But his co-star Jennifer Grey wasn’t in a good place when the movie premiered and she soon disappeared completely. Amongst the hubbub and celebrations, Jennifer Grey was gone as quickly as she had appeared.

And the actress was missing from the public spotlight for a long, long time.

But in recent years, and in an interview with People Magazine, she’s revealed all about the accident that changed her life.

But first, let’s take a look at Jennifer Grey’s life until that tragic accident in the summer of 1987.

Jennifer Gray started taking dance lessons from a young age. She was born in 1960 in New York, and it was her father who probably made her take the step into the entertainment industry. Her father, Joel Gray, worked as an actor, singer, dancer, director, and photographer.

Jennifer studied at Dalton School and focused on dance and acting. After graduating in 1978, she began looking for a job as an actress, and she also attended another school, the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater. At the same time, her life was not a dance on roses. Jennifer had to take a job as a waitress to pay the bills.

However, she managed to land a few gigs in TV commercials, including one for Dr. Pepper. Her film debut came in 1984 in the movie “Reckless.” A few years later came her tremendous breakthrough with “Dirty Dancing,” where she starred as Frances “Baby” Houseman.

The film is a classic, and the story is actually based on screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein’s childhood. Jennifer became a star overnight and received a nomination at the Golden Globe for Best Actress.

Tragic incident
Unfortunately, she could never enjoy the enormous success.

Shortly before the film’s premiere in August 1987, Grey was residing in Ireland with then-boyfriend Matthew Broderick.

But the couple were involved in a terrible car accident when Broderick, driving on the wrong side of the road, crashed into another vehicle. A mother and her daughter were in the other car – both were killed, instantly.

Broderick was charged with dangerous driving – later reduced to careless driving. Jennifer Grey, meanwhile, suffered nothing more than bruises and minor physical injuries, though her mental scars remained.

The premiere for Dirty Dancing was mere days later. But, despite the success of the film, Grey simply couldn’t enjoy it.

“The juxtaposition of that deep sorrow, the survivor’s guilt, and then being celebrated as the new big thing just didn’t jibe. It didn’t feel good to be the toast of the town,” Grey said, as per the Daily Mirror.

The actress would never fully recover from the trauma brought about by the accident.

”My head was never the same, my ambition was never the same,” she told People.

Nose job from hell
She struggled with survivor’s guilt and disappeared for a couple of years in the early 90s before appearing in one episode of Friends, in 1995.

By then, she had undergone plastic surgery and her face was very different.

“I went in the operating theatre a celebrity and come out anonymous,” she said in 2012.

“It was like being in a witness protection program or being invisible. It was the nose job from hell. I’ll always be this once-famous actress nobody ­recognises because of a nose job.”

After that, Jennifer had an on-and-off career in Hollywood.

By 2010, Jennifer had forced her way back into the mainstream media. She won the TV show ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and returned to being a firm fan favorite. According to her, that was something that was important to her.

“It’s like I’ve starved myself because of what people could think about me. This is like eating a delicious steak after having been on a diet for 23 years,” the star told People.

In 2018, Grey took another step towards the limelight she left. She is set to appear in ‘Untogether’, as well as new comedy ‘Red Oaks’.

We’re so happy you’ve got your passion and joy back, Jennifer!

Now, who else feels like taking a nostalgia-fuelled trip back to 1987? See below the unforgettable scene from Dirty Dancing. What fantastic memories!

Please share this story with your friends on Facebook. Just as I did, they probably watched Dirty Dancing and wondered what happened to the gorgeous Jennifer Grey!

Celebrities like Demi Moore, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts are some of the few stars who’ve worn swimwear bracing themselves from social media’s criticism. Luckily, they’ve not only received mean responses but also some supportive opinions that paint them in a good light.

People like Helen Mirren, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Goldie Hawn, Eva Longoria, Susan Lucci, and Demi Moore, have faced social media’s wrath for daring to wear their swimwear in public. Pictures of the stars dressed for the beach had netizens divided in their opinions.

Helen Mirren’s Bikini Shot Was Taken by the Paparazzi

Dame Helen Mirren went on the record to multiple outlets to explain the photo of her posing in a red bikini with a white trim that went viral in 2008. That year, Mirren and her husband, Taylor Hackford, were on vacation on an Italian beach.

The star said she and her director husband braved brought terrains going over cacti just to get to a swimming spot where nobody else was around, just the way Hackford liked it. The actress initially took a photo of her husband and, in turn, struck a pose for him. However, the moment she sucked her stomach in, she saw a flash in the distant hills and immediately dropped down “spread-eagle” on the rocks to get out of the shot of a perceived paparazzo!

When Hackford turned around, the photographer had hidden behind the cacti, leading the director to call his wife “paranoid.” Three days later, a photo of a 63-year-old Mirren looking into the distance hand held over her brow in a red bikini, was uploaded by a tabloid and went viral!

Speaking about the incident a few years later on season seven of “Ellen,” the dame said the shot was “pure luck.” She shared, “I look at that picture and say, God, I wish I look like that. But I don’t.”

The actress explained that a week before the image was taken, she had been on a public beach with hundreds of people around in France, and no one bothered to take her picture! The host of the show, Ellen DeGeneres, joked about how we knew why Mirren was in such great shape from “scaling cactuses and mountains.”

Years later, people are still inspired and thrilled by the image. When the snap reappeared and Mirren was asked about it on television in 2019, the star, once again, clarified how she had posed for her husband:

“I tried to suck my cheeks in. I tried to look… good.”

In the comments of a Daily Mail post, readers expressed their appreciation for the stolen moment. “I can only hope that I look that good at 74!!” one gushed. “I would love to look that good now – let alone when I’m in my 70s!” another seconded. It should be noted that she was in her mid-sixties when the photograph was taken, which is by no means unimpressive.

“WOW, she looks amazing. I could only wish to look that good at that age,” one said. “She looks fantastic. If I sucked my stomach in, I still wouldn’t look that good in a bikini, and I’m 20 years younger than her,” an admirer pointed out. A second agreed:

“I’m at a loss for words. She looks gorgeous!”

“Now this is what aging gracefully means….. “ a reader ruminated, “Natural with no plastic bits. She knows her age and appreciates it and doesn’t hide from it. Good for her!” “She’s fantastic. And to all the other fake boob & booty gals out there, take a page from Helen’s book!” someone else added. “Finally, someone I can complement who actually deserves it!” a commenter wrote.

The Oscar winner has turned down all opportunities to monetize the viral photo. She said in 2014, on the dawn of her 68th birthday, “The truth is I don’t really look that good, it was just a flattering picture,” noting:

“I am beyond the bikini-wearing age, really. I wouldn’t normally wear one. I look like a woman in her 60s. I’ve always looked awful in a bikini, even when I was young.”

Likewise, on her reputation for being “sexy,” she conceded on another occasion, saying, “I think it’s probably going to follow me to my grave.” However, Helen Mirren is likely to keep making headlines with her view on rules. “It’s good to break your own rules on a regular basis,” she says. Next up is Julia Roberts.

Julia Roberts Judged for Being a “Plastic Princess” for Her Swimsuit Look

On December 25, 2021, Julia Roberts was spotted spending Christmas Day with her kids, twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and youngest Henry, and husband, Danny Moder, in Sydney. The movie star looked stunning along the sunny beach in a pink swimsuit. She glowed in the sun and appeared toned and tanned.

Roberts, who had just emerged from the sea after a swim, had dark sunglasses and looked relaxed as she took in the glorious sight of the beach. Fans who saw her gorgeous pictures were stunned by how amazing the actress looked.

Fans said the actress was “aging gracefully” and wished her good health and happiness. Someone else pointed out that the star was “naturally beautiful.” One online user commended Roberts for not turning her natural body into a “plastic princess.”

“She is still pretty woman,” another fan wrote. However, some fans felt Roberts’ swimsuit wasn’t flattering for her body. Still, a fan penned, “But for a woman that’s carried twins she looks amazing.” Fans who disagreed said the actress looked like an old lady who never worked out. The next celebrity who became viral for their beach look is male.

Matt Damon’s Called a “Perfect Jolly Fat Man” after Seeing His Beach Body

On September 24, 2023, Matt Damon, who starred alongside Julia Stiles in “The Bourne Identity,” and his wife, Luciana Barroso, spent time together at the beach. The film producer was pictured standing on the shore wearing sunglasses alongside his love.

He appeared fit while walking shirtless on the coast of Miami, Florida. The actor, who was 52 then, showed off his six-pack abs and donned a gray knee-length swimsuit. Meanwhile, the mother of his kids, stunned in a light blue string bikini. She looked slim and toned in the attire that displayed her flat tummy.

The mom of four sported a white billed cap over long brown locks and accessorized with large hoop earrings and sunglasses for the outing. She and her famous husband were spotted conversing with other people during their outing.

That same day, the Daily Mail also shared a snapshot showing Matt Damon checking out his spouse on Facebook, alongside a caption that read: “More in love than ever.” Online users commented on the post, with one person writing:

“All husbands should look at their wives that way.”

While someone said, “Love is so delicious when you’re with the right person with you.” People have discussed Damon’s physique online in the past. In July 2022, one individual penned on Twitter now X, “So Matt Damon put on some serious weight.”

“[…] HIs wife looks amazing!” one Facebook user wrote. Meanwhile, one online user commented on Damon’s physical appearance, “Sorry, but Matt does not have a 6 pack. His wife, however, has an amazing body.”

“Matt Damon put on some weight,” wrote another person in February 2023. “Man, what happened to Matt Damon?” one user asked on the platform in July 2023. “Matt Damon is a perfect jolly fat man he’s just starting the process,” said another social media user in August 20223.

Meanwhile, some penned on X, “Matt Damon’s wife looks amazing.” The following star who showed off her bikini-clad body was criticized by some social media followers for how she looked.

Goldie Hawn Judged Harshly for Showing off Her Body

Hollywood blonde bombshell, mother, and grandmother Goldie Hawn was 77 in June 2023, and her dashing beau Kurt Russell was 72. The happy couple was spotted enjoying some seaside fun on a vacation trip to Greece.

Hawn sported a chic black one-piece swimsuit that showed off her legs, arms, and chest, while Russell wore some black and white board shorts. The iconic couple is known for their fun and carefree attitude that enables them to focus on living their lives to the fullest.

Hawn, in particular, is known for her happy-go-lucky personality, which she continues to embrace fully to this day. As soon as pictures of the couple’s Greece vacation surfaced, X or Twitter users took to social media to hatefully comment on the star’s appearance. Many mean-spirited people wasted no time in calling Hawn nasty names:

“No, not attractive. Look what happened to Goldie Hawn after she got her lips fattened. UGLY.”

The hate continued to swirl around social media as more pictures were released. Some commentators pushed the ugly narrative further and started discussing how Hawn’s appearance would give them nightmares before bed, stating:

“Goldie Hawn’s face is going to give me nightmares tonight.”

What haters have to say is entirely disregarded by not only Hawn herself but by her biggest fan, her partner, Russell. The happy couple has been in love and committed to each other for 40 years, and still treat their relationship as though they just first fell in love.

Eva Longoria Described as Getting Fat upon Wearing Her Bikini on Vacation

Hollywood star Eva Longoria is well known for her acting prowess, which has been showcased in numerous film and television projects. She has also made a name for herself as a film producer. Aside from her illustrious career, Longoria is a doting mom to her only son, Santiago Enrique, whom she shares with her husband, José Bastón.

The mama bear was spotted enjoying some sun on her Spain vacation in 2023. Pictures of the 48-year-old showing off her stunning physique in a pink bikini surfaced online. As the “Desperate Housewives” star had her “Baywatch” moment on the beach, she set the record straight, saying age is nothing but a number.

When people saw the photos of Eva Longoria rocking her two-piece, many began to state their opinions on what they thought of her appearance. Some were not pleased with how she looked. One person made a nasty comment about her body:

“She gettin’ chubby.”

Another person commented on her age and sarcastically referred to the media outlet reporting on her bikini photos as news. Although some had less pleasant things to say about the brunette beauty, others complimented Longoria. Some people shared that they thought the actress looked healthy and that her skin looked radiant. One Instagram user gushed:

“Omg, she looks amazing. She used to be tiny. Now she has curves in all the right places 👏”

Despite the negative comments concerning what people have had to say about Longoria’s appearance and age, the film producer has remained unfazed and continues to march to the beat of her own drum. In past interviews, the star has shared some insights into her perspective on late motherhood and aging.

By the time Longoria gave birth to her son, she was already in her 40s. Although some play into society’s controversial view on mothering a child past a certain age, the star felt differently. Of welcoming her child later in life, she disclosed:

“Santi was meant to be with me at this stage in my life. I’m patient, I don’t work as much—even if it doesn’t seem that way! It’s the right time.”

Regarding what she tells people who may struggle with embracing aging, Longoria says it is a mistake to waste any decade of your life worrying about becoming old. The sixth star who was criticized by netizens for her swimsuit look is Susan Lucci.

Susan Lucci Criticized for Bikini Look but Die-Hard Fans Come to Her Defense

In mid-2020, Susan Lucci posted a photo from the beach of her brushing her signature long brunette locks out of her face. The beaming 73-year-old was wearing a Michael Kors one-piece swimsuit with a light wrap around her waist.

“You look too thin and fragile,” a worried fan wrote. “Please take care of yourself.” Someone asked, “What happens to you? You are skin and bones! Are you sick?” A third agreed, “You are way too thin!!”

Daily Mail readers also had thoughts on her figure. “Tiny and very thin,” one opinioned, to which a user replied, “I agree – looks very unhealthy.” Another deemed the post “depressing.”

“Always elegant and beautiful!” an Instagram user countered. “She has always been very petite except when she was pregnant, and even then, she wasn’t very big,” one wrote in support. “Frankly, staying on the slim/thin side is far better for her.” They added:

“Certainly less wear and tear on your joints when you aren’t carrying excess weight. Glad to see that this lovely lady is doing well after last year’s heart issue.”

That was not the first time she sported the revealing designer swimsuit. The star was photographed wearing it in Harper’s Bazaar in 2018. Susan Lucci admitted to the magazine then that she felt as good as she had in her 20s and 30s!

Demi Moore’s Body Called “Saggy” by Online Critics for Wearing a Swimsuit

Demi Moore is now busy in her grandma era. The “Striptease” star was spotted on June 7, 2023, taking a family walk with her daughter Rumer and granddaughter Louetta in Los Angeles. Days earlier, on June 4, 2023, Moore had also taken a trip with her family to the farmer’s market.

The “Ghost” actress was accompanied by her daughters Rumer, Louetta and Tallulah, granddaughter Louetta, and the little girl’s father Derek Richard Thomas to Hollywood’s Farmer’s Market. As much as she is a grandma and spends more time with family, and also takes time to soak in the sun in her bikini.

The next time Moore was spotted in a swimsuit was when she was enjoying a Greek holiday in the Mediterranean on August 12, 2023. The then 60-year-old showed off her body in a sage green bikini. The bikini with a halter top and V-shaped bottoms showed off her flawless complexion.

The actress, who seemed to be makeup-free, had styled her long dark hair in a high but loose bun was having fun on the open waters, and splashed around the ocean while hanging on to a purple noodle floatie. After swimming, she went back on board.

Moore wore wide aviator-style shades to protect her eyes from the glaring sunshine, then toweled off and let her hair loose down to her neck. The star styled her bikini with a large blue pendant on a long gold chain around her neck.

Fans who saw her pictures criticized Moore for donning a bikini and showing off her “Alligator skin” and “droopy muscle tone.” Others said the actress looked “skinny” and “flabby” and had “wrinkles and cellulite.” One person noted that the star’s body was “sagging” except for her “fake boobs,” while another advised the actress to cover up, “Come on granny put your clothes on!!”

Some claimed Demi Moore should have worn yoga pants and crop tops, while another person said it would have been more appropriate if the actress had kept her clothes on. However, one fan defended Moore, “She looks amazing. No idea why people want to nit pick (sic) her.” Other fans said the actress’s body looked great at 60, while another individual said it was wrong for the paparazzi to take invasive pictures of her:

“She did not pose for them in an attempt to solicit comments on her body.”

Regardless, Moore seems to be enjoying life in her 60s. The actress doesn’t shy away from wearing bikinis despite previous negative comments from fans. She is also a doting grandmother who spends time with her granddaughter and kids.

Channing Tatum’s daughter, Everly, sparked a colorful reaction from fans during a rare public appearance with her father, where she sported a unique hairstyle.

Channing Tatum and his daughter, Everly, recently attended the premiere of the world tour of Aniplex of America. At the event, Everly had purple hair inspired by the anime character Shinobu Kocho from “Demon Slayer.” The duo’s shared love for the show was on full display, and the ten-year-old’s vibrant hair choice became the talk of social media.

Some users shared their opinions freely, with one commenting on the quality of her hair, “If that’s her natural hair she’s too young for purple dyed hair. If that’s a wig that’s a cheap synthetic low quality wig,” and another expressing disapproval at the parenting choices of celebrities, “These rich celebrities just be letting their kids look like whatever in public smh 🤦‍♀️.”

Meanwhile, another user highlighted her height, “10 y.o and she’s so tall like her father,” reflecting the public’s surprise at her growth and resemblance to Tatum. Despite the mixed reviews, many fans were charmed by Everly’s look, with heartfelt reactions such as “You look like your Dad.. you are beautiful!”

Tatum has been open about his parenting style, emphasizing a relationship built on trust and honesty with Everly. He has shared that by ensuring his daughter knows she won’t be in trouble for being truthful, they maintain a strong bond, though he also acknowledges the importance of setting boundaries for mutual benefit.

Jenna Dewan, Everly’s mother, shared a lighthearted anecdote about her daughter’s candid response to watching her parents in “Step Up,” the film that kindled Dewan and Tatum’s off-screen romance. After watching the film, Everly asked, “Can we watch something good?” Her disinterest in the movie remains, as Dewan explains, “It’s not cool to her yet. Maybe one day.”

Despite Everly’s lack of enthusiasm for “Step Up,” she shares her mother’s passion for dance, particularly Celtic Irish dancing, where she strives to improve and eagerly seeks more classes. Dewan, while supportive, doesn’t play the role of coach, preferring to be the “supportive mom” and confidant, encouraging Everly’s journey in dance and life.

Everyone’s favorite Rachel from «Friends» took part in a fascinating photoshoot

Millions showered her with lots of nice compliments under the photos. Her fantastic and mind-blowing look captivated everyone.

The fascinating photo shoot took place in Aniston’s own luxurious house. It is interesting to know that it cost 21 million dollars in 2011.

Notably, she spent all her time in the house during the period of isolation and lockdown.

 

“Love Story” and “The Getaway” star Ali MacGraw is a timeless beauty at age 84 after revealing her fears of turning 80.

MacGraw opened up about her life and now lives in a “tiny” cottage in the mountains.

She is also a doting mom of one son and a loving grandmother after experiencing three heartbreaks in her lifetime.

Beloved Hollywood actress Ali MacGraw is mainly known for her epic portrayals in the 70s classics “Love Story” and “The Getaway.” On Thursday evening, the 84-year-old stepped out to dinner with a few companions, at a Mexican restaurant, which was more than thrilled to host her and posted a picture of the group of friends on their Facebook account.

A fully silver-haired MacGraw was seen cheesing as she posed for the picture amongst her friends. The “Just Tell Me What You Want” actress rocked a comfy-looking navy long-sleeved shirt with beige pants and eccentric metallic earrings that framed her beautiful make-up-free face.

Though the ageless beauty has taken to embracing her looks as they naturally progress with age, she did not always have an affinity for the carefree spirit that some women garner when it comes to aging. A few years ago, MacGraw expressed her fears about turning 80:

“In November, I started to wake up in the middle of the night thinking, ‘Oh my God, the rest of the trip is so short compared to the one behind me. I’m going to be 80.’ I’d never felt like that before.”

MacGraw felt as though she reached an age where she started to take more notice of the timeline of her mortality. She described being more consciously aware of how her past, dating back to her childhood, set the grounds for who she is today.

She goes on to say that there comes a point in one’s life where one must confront past mistakes and regrets head-on and walk through the fire (so to speak) to get to the other side. She no longer wanted to sit in anger and pretend that she had not been affected by negative experiences.

While speaking about how different her journey of self-discovery looks in her elder years vs. where she was in her youth, MacGraw credits the amount of work and concentration she put in to gain clarity. By putting a concentrated amount of focus into changing her perspective, she reports being happier in her senior years:

“I don’t want to sit in anger anymore, pretending everything’s wonderful because I want people to like me, but seething underneath. But that takes work and concentration to change, [and] I couldn’t have done it [alone]. So the years go by, [and] I’m lucky, I am blessed and happy, and doing the best I can.”

The “Goodbye, Columbus” talent now resides in a quaint village north of Santa Fe in New Mexico. The charming spot is called Tesuque, and the reason why MacGraw moved there was primarily based on global warming environmental concerns.

She revealed how her decision came after her house in Malibu had tragically burned down as a result of the annual forest fires in California. Having been afraid of the frequency of natural disasters, including the massive drought in the region, she packed up and moved on.

Though she eventually found her home in Tesuque, MacGraw did attempt to first look at acquiring a smaller property near Malibu that would be fit and safe for herself and her animals in terms of air pollution. After she failed to find a suitable home in California while helping a friend design her home in New Mexico, MacGraw rented out a tiny cottage where she still lives currently:

“I live in a little village north of Santa Fe, New Mexico, called Tesuque. I had helped a friend design her house [there]. I bought a tiny cottage there which is where I still live in the mountains… I love my life.”

Since moving to New Mexico, MacGraw has reported how much she has been loving her life and spoke about how she was talked into moving there despite not knowing anyone from the region. Once moving there, she divulged how she immediately got involved with a very artistic and cultural community, a melting pot of intricate Native American and Spanish cultures.

During her Zoom interview with Rappler, in which she was speaking about everything, she had even adorned beautifully designed Native American-inspired jewelry, of which she reports being an avid collector. Currently, she has halted her acting career to enjoy her privacy and spend time working as a designer with an organization called Ibu, which she also enjoys immensely.

Despite her marriages not working out, MacGraw was blessed to become a mother to her son, Josh.

At one point during the interview, MacGraw briefly touched on her past. She disclosed how, as mentioned earlier, by doing the groundwork of uncovering the experiences she may not have enjoyed, she discovered new avenues to self-awareness and fostering the kind of life she wants to lead.

MacGraw spoke about how recognizing her contributions to why her past three marriages may not have worked out helped her journey of self-discovery during her 40s. Now blessed with a wonderful life, she wakes up grateful every day:

“I start my day in gratitude, [and]…I guess it’s many decades of work, but I’m grateful for it because I’m happy, and I feel very grounded. I don’t feel frightened. I am certainly one of the luckiest people I’ve ever heard of.”

MacGraw has married a total of three times but is currently single. Being such a hot commodity and influencer back in her heyday, which Calvin Klein called an exemplification of the great American style, the beauty was hugely sought-after. After her first marriage to Robin Hoen, which lasted for two years, she married then-Paramount Pictures CEO, Robert Evans.

The ex-couple was married for three years and welcomed their son, Josh Evans, in 1971. However, once MacGraw started filming “The Getaway,” she engaged in an affair with her co-star, Steve McQueen.

Their affair started on the first day of filming, and eventually, MacGraw decided to divorce Evans and pursue a relationship with McQueen instead. However, after marrying, their relationship took a turn for the worst.

Apparently, McQueen was a jealous man who forced MacGraw to give up her career. They eventually divorced after five years of marriage, and MacGraw was left with nothing due to the prenuptial agreement she had signed.

In her sit-down interview with Rappler, MacGraw candidly addressed her relationship with McQueen. She explained what a complicated man McQueen had been, stemming from what she described as a harrowing childhood. Bearing no ill will toward her ex, she went on to say:

“We had a very strong relationship in our hearts – I think forever… When he was good, he was very, very good, and when he was bad, he was horrid…but it didn’t diminish for me how much I loved him.”

Despite her marriages not working out, MacGraw was blessed to become a mother to her son, Josh. The proud mama bear never misses an opportunity to boast about and gush over her son, who has followed in his mother’s footsteps, pursuing a career in acting, even though he divulged that he had not always had an affinity for the entertainment industry:

“I think the first job I ever wanted to do was not in the film business. I was not one of these kids who wanted to be an actor; it just came about.”

However, having found a greater passion for being behind the camera instead of in front of it, he turned to directing instead of acting. After his first marriage, he welcomed his son Jackson Evans with his current wife, Roxy Saint, making MacGraw a delighted, doting grandmother.

MacGraw has found sanctuary and peace in her quaint little village of Tesuque. With no plans to return to acting any time soon, the Hollywood icon is happily focused on embracing her life to the fullest with her cultural and designer pursuits.

A new report indicates that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck held off on their in-person reunions until she had ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez.

‘She didn’t see Ben until it was over with Alex,’ a source close to Lopez, 51, told People on Tuesday.

Despite taking their time before more romantic meetups, it was previously reported that Affleck, 48, had been emailing his ex going back to February, when she was in the Dominican Republic filming her movie Shotgun Wedding.

According to the insider, ‘Jennifer was in contact with Ben before she split from Alex.’

However, ‘it was friendly conversations and they didn’t make a plan behind Alex’s back that they would date.’

It appears as if the two were taking their time and seeing how their relationship might progress.

The news comes after the Oscar winner was seen being picked up in what was reportedly Lopez’s SUV and taken to her home, after dropping his car off at the Bel-Air Hotel, presumably in hopes that their rendezvous would go unnoticed.

TMZ previously reported that Affleck had been sending Lopez emails dating back to February, when she filming her upcoming comedy film in the Dominican Republic.

The emails weren’t merely friendly, though, but apparently were filled with longing for the Hustlers star.

He reportedly wrote about wishing her could join her and complimented her beauty, though he was busy himself in Boston where he was filming The Tender Bar with his friend George Clooney.
