Julia Roberts, at 56, continues to captivate fans with her ageless beauty, attributing her radiant looks to the essence of true happiness. The legendary Hollywood star, renowned for her infectious smile and relatable personality, remains stunning, whether with or without makeup. Celebrated for almost four decades in the entertainment industry and a mother of three, Roberts, married to Daniel Moder since 2002, reflects on the passage of time with a philosophy of finding peace in the aging process.

Having entered the spotlight with roles in films like “Satisfaction” and “Mystic Pizza” in 1988, Roberts achieved Golden Globe success in 1989 for her role in “Steel Magnolias.” However, it was her portrayal of the affable Vivian in “Pretty Woman” that solidified her status as a Hollywood leading lady. Over the years, the Georgia native has evolved into an adored and iconic figure in the film industry.

Despite the inevitable aging process, Roberts embraces it with grace, acknowledging that it will happen whether she likes it or not. Dutch artist Ard Gelinck’s “Then & Now” series, featuring celebrities meeting their younger selves through skillful photoshopping, showcases Roberts’s timeless beauty.

Paparazzi recently captured natural, makeup-free images of Roberts, drawing praise for her authentic beauty, even as some netizens acknowledged the passage of time. Holding the record for being named the most beautiful woman in the world by People magazine five times, Roberts emphasizes that true happiness is the key to beauty. According to her, people who exude genuine happiness are the ones who appear the most gorgeous.

Defined by her cheerfulness, Roberts’ magnetic smile continues to spread joy, leaving an indelible mark on fans. As she celebrates her 56th birthday, admirers honor the “Pretty Woman” with appreciation for her enduring beauty and the wisdom she shares about the true essence of happiness.

As Donald Trump Jr. embarks on a new relationship with Bettina Anderson, he emphasized that he and his former fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, share “a unique connection.”

In an exclusive statement to Page Six on Friday, he expressed that he and Guilfoyle will “always care for one another.”

“Kimberly and I will always care for each other and maintain a unique bond,” Trump Jr., 46, remarked.

He also extended his congratulations to Guilfoyle, who is set to become President-elect Donald Trump’s U.S. ambassador to Greece.

“I couldn’t be prouder of her and the significant role she will continue to play in my father’s administration,” Trump Jr. stated.

In his message to Page Six, he took the opportunity to defend her against some potentially harmful stories that have surfaced regarding Guilfoyle since her nomination, many of which focus on her past relationship with the president’s son.

The latest issue that could jeopardize her Senate confirmation involves a resurfaced allegation claiming she sexually harassed her female assistant while at Fox News.

According to reports, this was the reason for her departure from Fox in 2018, although she has strongly denied the claim in the past.

“Anyone resorting to unfounded and trivial tabloid attacks against her is only embarrassing themselves,” Trump Jr. said.

Teenagers can be hard to handle, and that’s what every parent of one can agree on. Those years are fragile and the youngsters believe the world belongs to them. They often refuse to accept advice and believe they know everything.

A mom of a 16-year-old experienced this, just as many other parents in her position. Her son misbehaved. He was quite difficult at times, pushing every limit. Until one day, when he told his mom he wanted to spend the summer with his grandmother – his mom’s mother – an old woman with a fragile health who was disabled and was getting help from a caregiver.

The son assured his mom he would be taking care of his grandmother so that he could bond with her and they could save some money on the caregiver.

The mom was over the moon. Was this a sign that her son finally matured? She hoped so, so she allowed him to move in with his grandma for the summer.

Things felt great, until the woman received a call from her mother one day. Whispering, the old woman said, “Come save me from your son.”

But before she could respond anything, the grandmother hung up the phone.

“What is going on,” the woman thought to herself as she got inside her car and started driving towards her mother’s place.

The drive seemed like an eternity. She though about her son and her mother and recalled some details that she had missed; his smooth explanations on the phone when she’s call her son to check on his grandma, his insistence that they had to get rid of the caregiver. The mom believed it was him becoming smarter and more compassionate, but now, it was obvious she was very wrong.

Once at her mother’s place, the woman was shocked. The lawn was overgrown and filled with empty alcohol bottles. Loud music was coming from inside, and a number of youngsters were drinking heavily, dancing and screaming.

The woman started calling her son’s name, but he was nowhere to be seen.

When she entered her mom’s room, she saw the old woman crying and shaking. “He locks me inside my room, accusing me of ruining his parties,” the grandma cried.

While the woman thought her son and her mother were spending a lovely time together, the fragile elderly lady was living a nightmare prepared from her own grandson.

The poor woman confronted her son, who didn’t seem to care much for what he had done.

Realizing he didn’t regret his actions, the woman took all of his electronic devices, sold them in order to compensate for the damage done to his grandma’s house, and sent him to a very strict camp.

She decided her son needed to change if he ever wanted to get his freedom back.

Over time, the woman started noticing subtle changes in her son’s behavior. It took a couple of years, but he finally became the man she always taught him to be.

Anderson Cooper became a father when he was close to 60 and had already broken up with his long-term boyfriend, Benjamin Maisani. However, the two exes got back together, just not in a romantic way.

Anderson Cooper and Benjamin Maisani were so private about their relationship that it took years before it was revealed that they were dating. The pair started seeing each other in 2009.

In March 2018, Daily Mail announced that the couple was living together at Anderson’s firehouse home. The Manhattan, Greenwich Village home he bought for $4 million was later renovated.

Anderson and Benjamin only came out about their relationship in May 2015. At the time, the CNN news anchor shared an Instagram image of him and Benjamin and wrote:

“I guess when you’re with someone a long time, you start to pose alike.”

After that, Anderson started opening up more about his relationship. So much so that in August 2016, he and his boyfriend appeared together for an issue of Architectural Digest.

At the time, the couple was showing off the remote home they co-owned in a section of Brazil. In 2014, Benjamin spoke to French Morning about all the attention his relationship with Anderson was getting.

He also addressed why they’d spent so much time trying to keep it private. The businessman said he understood why people were so interested in their relationship but didn’t feel the same.

Benjamin explained that he hadn’t thought about or wanted to be a celebrity like most people. He shared that he knew from the beginning that exposing the relationship was risking the attention on it getting out of hand.

In March 2018, after a decade of dating, Anderson’s spokesperson confirmed that the journalist and Benjamin had separated. According to reports, the CNN anchor explained the split by saying:

“Benjamin and I separated as boyfriends some time ago. We are still family to each other, and love each other very much.”

Anderson explained that he and his ex-boyfriend remained best friends and would continue sharing their lives. During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the television personality revealed one of the reasons that caused them to break up.

He shared how Benjamin wasn’t sure he wanted to have children. However, Anderson didn’t wait to have another partner before working on his dream of becoming a father and fulfilling it at age 53.

In 2020, when reaching the end of his segment on CNN, Anderson revealed that his first child and son, Wyatt Morgan, had been born. He also opened up about why the milestone was especially significant for him, stating:

“As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child.”

The star shared his gratitude for the people who paved the way for him to realize his dream. He also shared his appreciation of the nurses and doctors who took part in helping welcome his son.

The television personality also uploaded four Instagram images of his baby boy, with the first image showing him lovingly bottle-feeding Wyatt. In the post’s caption, he revealed that the boy was only then-three days old.

He explained how the child’s first name was the same as his own father, who passed on when he was just ten. The second name was a family one from his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt’s side, and also one his parents liked.

At the time, Anderson said he’d found a list his parents had made 52 years before when deciding what to name him. Little Wyatt was born weighing 7.2 lbs and was described as “sweet, and soft, and healthy.”

The journalist also thanked his son’s surrogate for carrying him, watching lovingly and tenderly over him, and giving birth to the boy. He also thanked the surrogate’s family for their support throughout the process and afterward.

Anderson concluded by revealing that he wished his mother, father, and brother, Carter, were alive to meet his son. However, he chose to believe they could see his child, and he imagined them smiling and laughing with their arms around each other.

He was happy knowing their love was still alive in him and Wyatt and that their family line would continue. In August 2020, Anderson heard that Wyatt’s sleep schedule was unusual for the then almost four-month-old child.

The newborn baby was sleeping for 12 hours each night! The CNN anchor explained that he was being assisted by a nurse and joked he wasn’t sure what she did to make the boy sleep so much, but whiskey and Ambien weren’t used!

Even though he had someone assisting him in taking care of the child, Anderson had one condition. The star said he didn’t want his child to be raised by a single parent.

During a May 2020 “The Howard Stern Show” appearance, Anderson explained why he didn’t want his child raised by him alone. After losing his father, the star noted how his mother wasn’t very parental when she raised him and his brother as a single parent.

He wished he’d had another adult who came in and filled that gap. Someone who would offer to take him to lunch or a ball game now and then, or suggest to talk to him, with the journalist adding:

“So I thought, ‘Well if something happens to me — or even if something doesn’t happen to me — if more people love my son and are in his life, I’m all for that.”

He noted how he thought having two parents would be good if possible. Ironically, even though he and Benjamin broke up, the former couple still lived together in their home because they got along well.

Anderson acknowledged the situation between him and the nightclub owner was “weird.” Although Benjamin was initially reluctant to have children, he’d come around to it and was now a great co-parent to little Wyatt.

The former couple lived together in the Greenwich Village firehouse home that Anderson bought in 2009 and renovated. The star said because Benjamin was French, Wyatt would probably call him “Papa” while he would be “Dad” or “Daddy.”

The businessman spoke to the little boy in his home language, and Anderson joked that he didn’t understand what he was saying and could be turning Wyatt against him! However, when asked if the former couple could get back together, the journalist said that wouldn’t happen.

While speaking to WSJ magazine in August 2020, Anderson revealed how becoming a father had woken him up. He shared how he’d felt he was waiting for his actual life to begin even though he was then-53.

The star said he’d focused on getting somewhere or having a story, but focusing on Wyatt finally gave an order to everything. The news anchor noted how “It’s changed everything.”

Anderson also used to wake up late because of working night shifts, but since welcoming Wyatt, he now woke up at seven in the morning. It was his goal to wake up before his son got up because it was the most significant moment of his day.

The newborn baby [Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper], who weighed 6.8 lbs. at birth, would also be co-parented with Benjamin [Maisani].
He loved seeing the little boy stretch and smile when he saw him. Anderson made his way to his son’s room on the fourth floor from the third one and waited for him to make sounds alerting the star that he was awake before going in to check up on him.

In June 2020, the television personality told People magazine that he was open to expanding his family in the future. However, he needed time to sleep more normally and clear his head first!

He thought having a sister or brother for Wyatt would be great. Then in February 2022, Anderson announced on “Anderson Cooper 360°” that he’d welcomed another son, Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper, through a surrogate!

The newborn baby, who weighed 6.8 lbs. at birth, would also be co-parented with Benjamin. The star also revealed at that moment that his former partner was in the process of adopting Wyatt, and the boy’s last name would be changed to Maisani-Cooper too.

Although in December 2020, after welcoming Wyatt, Anderson confessed that he’d become “more tired than I’ve ever been.” However, he loved being a father and “wouldn’t change it for the world,” plus seeing his son often moved him to tears.

Morgan Freeman showed up at the Oscars as a transformed man.

Fans wondered what happened to the actor’s hand, which he kept hidden in a glove.

Despite his advanced age, Freeman isn’t slowing down.

The 2023 Oscars was a memorable occasion. With many worthy actors being recognized for their extraordinary talent, viewers had many surprises to look forward to. However, one actor left fans reeling in incredulity after he stepped onto the stage.

Morgan Freeman, the acclaimed actor, looked like another man at the Academy Awards ceremony. Many fans almost didn’t recognize him, and everyone wondered why the actor wore a black elbow-length glove on his left hand.

After the awards ceremony, many fans took to social media to speculate on Freeman’s drastic transformation. The actor opened up about his recent health struggles but insisted that he continue working even though many fans suggested that he should retire.

Morgan Freeman Appears Bald – Fans Didn’t Expect That and Were ‘Too Shocked’
Freeman stepped onto the stage at the Oscars, and his lack of hair left many fans speechless. Although the actor is advanced in years, moviegoers have known him for his salt-and-pepper hair for decades. The sudden move to a completely bare scalp left many open-mouthed.

After the shock of Freeman’s hair died down, many people noticed that the actor was wearing a black glove on his right hand.

Freeman escorted the actress Margot Robbie onto the stage to deliver a joint speech celebrating 100 years of the Warner Bros production company. Many people took to social media to offer their opinions on his new hairstyle. Luckily, most were positive. One user wrote:

“I was too shocked by his missing hair to notice the glove at first..he does make a very dashing bald man though!”

Despite his unexpected transformation, Freeman handled the ceremony with the “humble” professionalism fans have come to expect from the iconic actor. His fans supported him on Facebook, saying he looks excellent for his age. One user wrote, “He looks great. Aging is a part of life.”

Many Still Wonder What Happened to Morgan’s Gloved Hand
After the shock of Freeman’s hair died down, many people noticed that the actor was wearing a black glove on his right hand. After the ceremony, social media platforms were filled with questions surrounding the enigmatic glove. Many people even expressed their concern for the actor’s health.

As with most things, people didn’t only respond with supportive messages after Freeman’s latest public appearance.

Although many people still wondered why Freeman was wearing the glove, a few knowledgeable individuals stepped forward to explain. Many comment sections began rattling off the story that Freeman himself told to explain the glove. The actor opened up about an injury he sustained in 2008.

Freeman explained that he was driving in Mississippi when he lost control of his vehicle. The car swerved off the road, flipped repeatedly, and landed in a ditch. The emergency response had to airlift the actor to a hospital, where Freeman went under the knife.

The actor has spoken openly about the lingering effects of the accident, mentioning that nerve damage has left the hand immobile. The actor shared, “I suffered nerve damage and it hasn’t gotten better. I can’t move it.” One commenter said, “I had no idea what happened to him.”

Freeman Started to ‘to Show His Age’ at 85, Users Claim
As with most things, people didn’t only respond with supportive messages after Freeman’s latest public appearance. Despite the comment sections of popular social media news pages being flooded with encouragement for the actor, some people thought Freeman’s time in the acting industry is almost at an end.

One user commented, “Morgan is starting to show his age.” Another Facebook user wrote, “Freeman finally looking old.” Many reciprocated the thought, expressing things in the vein of, “my man finally looks old.” But Freeman isn’t convinced. The actor has opened up about his work, defying those who think age is a limiter.

Freeman has publicly stated that he would continue to work while he is still physically capable. Instead of retiring, Freeman is looking for more roles. He commented: “You don’t decide if you’re going to take some time off or rest. But for those of us who are able to work, you’ve got to make hay while the sun is shining.”

Eric Robert is almost inseparable from his wife, Eliza Garrett. The pair have been together through some rocky times in their marriage and his sterling career, but there was a time when Garrett wouldn’t even be with Eric because she thought he was gay.

Eric Roberts had it good from the start of his Hollywood career that began in the 70s. The star’s first movie appearance was in “Runaway Train,” and it earned him three Golden Globe nominations.

There was no going back from here as Eric further appeared in more blockbusters like “King of the Gypsies,” and “Star 80.” Towards the peak of his career, Eric experienced a life-changing dip that threatened the foundation of all that he had built as a successful actor.

The star crumbled to the wiles of drug addiction, but a resounding jolt from his wife made the difference. Here’s a look through the troublesome years, the refreshing presence of his wife, and enduring marriage.

HOW ERIC ROBERTS MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE

Eric Roberts and Eliza Garrett met on a plane en route to Los Angeles from New York. The two had been seat partners, but that didn’t quite do the magic. In an interview with Lifestyle Magazine TV, the couple explained how they got to know each other.

Robert joked that his wife did not like sharing the story, but they had been reading movie scripts on the plane. The Hollywood veteran stated that he and Garrett closed the scripts simultaneously, creating a chasm for them to have a conversation.

Amid their brief discussion, the pair found out they had more in common. Eric also discovered that his favorite scriptwriter, David Rayfiel, was Eliza Garrett’s dad.

Garrett intercepted, stating that she “didn’t even want to talk shop,” but the past weekend had been a huge one for Eric due to his Oscar nomination. She added:

“So there were all these strange connections. . . . But I thought he was probably gay because he was very pretty and had a cat on his lap named Tender.”

Garrett gushed about her husband’s sex appeal and how it had thrown her off at first. She shared in the interview:

“He’s had the bad-boy image from age 19 to 59, and still the crush-worthiness of him spans generations and genders.”

Eric’s bad-boy image did not deter Garrett from building a beautiful relationship with him. Six years after their “love at first script” introduction, the Hollywood stars tied the knot. Eric and Garrett were married on August 11, 1992.

GARRETT STOOD BY HIM IN THE DARK TIMES

Eliza Garrett is Hollywood royalty by virtue of her movie executive dad. The star herself grew up to own a career in the industry. She is a casting director and actress known for movies including “Tasmanian Devil,” “Dr. Who: The Movie,” and “National Lampoon’s Animal House.”

Garrett, who was previously married to James Simons, has been a supportive wife to Eric Roberts since their wedding 30 years ago. She was also by his side when he witnessed a rather bleak period in his career.

Eric got to a point where he became addicted to drugs. He explained to Vanity Fair that drug use was rampant on the set of movies, and he sunk deep into the clutches.

The effects started telling on his career, and Eric became a “pothead.” Garrett watched her husband slip away, but she jolted him to reality when she asked him to choose between her and “coke.”

The drug use eventually reached a breaking point when Eric totaled his car in an accident. The star was in a coma, and his speech and walking were terribly affected when he came around.

It took two months for Eric to become himself again, and all the while, Garrett did not leave his side. Despite picking himself up, Eric’s career took the fall. He stopped receiving casting calls and had to rely on B movies.

With his wife’s encouragement and unwavering support, the “Best of the Best” actor starred in several movies numbering up to 70 films. However, Eric became the butt of the joke due to his decline to B movies.

This was a difficult period in his career, but Garrett encouraged him. With her words, Eric continued working as he soon rounded up 250 movies. This consistency turned him from a joke into an actor that could excel at any role.

It’s been three decades and counting for the couple in their enduring marriage, and Eric still feels the same way he felt from the very first day. Once in an interview with Closer Weekly, the star shared how inseparable they were. He explained:

“I was on a trip for only three days and I thought, ‘God, I hate being away from her!’ I can’t stand it, because I got old with her, this is my roommate, my pal, my confidante, my manager, the girl I kiss.”

Speaking about the secret to the union, Eric mentioned honesty and great sex life. In another interview, Garrett attributed their great marriage to good communication and the fact she and Eric worked together.

Eric and Garrett do not have kids together, but the pair are parents from older relationships. Eric is dad to Hollywood star Emma Roberts whom he had in his relationship with Kelly Cummingham.

Emma grew up with her mother but had a close-knit relationship with her father’s family. She would often go on movie sets with her aunt, Julia Roberts, and that’s how she nurtured her acting career.

Garrett’s marriage to James made her a mother to two kids, Keaton and Morgan Simmons. According to his Instagram bio, Keaton is a musician and the lead guitarist for Brett Young Music.

Keaton also works as a producer and film composer. His sister, Morgan, is a culinary expert who owns a bakeshop called Pi Bakeshop. According to the website, Morgan completed her culinary education and established a catering company.

The blended family of Eric and Garrett also includes the love and influence of aunt Julia. Eric himself loves and believes that Garrett’s kids are his. He once attested:

“They’re both such Robertses. You know?”

The doting stepdad fawned over Morgan and Keaton as he promoted their business and music career. He displayed his fondness, noting that he loved how much they looked alike.

Eric and Garrett have come a long way as a couple in the spotlight. With 30 years of marriage between them, the couple has realized how being each other’s partner was invaluable.

Oh, what a time to be a royal enthusiast.

There have been an untold number of well-publicized royal scandals over the years, many points in history where the ongoings of the British monarchy have dominated newspaper headlines and whipped the general public into a frenzy.

The current state of affairs must surely rank among the most tantalizing. Not only has the whole saga regarding Kate Middleton’s recovery from a mysterious abdominal procedure captivated all and sundry since January, but King Charles also received a shock cancer diagnosis. That’s not to mention the ever-present controversy where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are concerned.

In most other decades the reigning monarch’s fight against cancer would be the focal point of the media attention. It speaks volumes, then, that the maelstrom of speculation surrounding Kate has virtually pushed all other topics into the shadows.

It could be argued that the royals only have themselves to blame for the intense scrutiny placed upon Kate’s recovery. Aside from confirming that the Princess of Wales was undergoing a “planned abdominal procedure” in January, adding that she would be out of action until around Easter time, the Palace has been thrifty to the point of arousing suspicion with its updates.

Just what Kate was suffering from that required surgery remains unknown to the public. Compounding the sense of confusion was the fact that Kate – until last week – hadn’t been seen since Christmas.

And if the vacuum of concrete information brought the pot of speculation to boiling point, the debacle surrounding the image of Kate and her children released to mark Mother’s Day in the UK blew the lid off with such force that the various conspiracy theories suddenly became of interest worldwide.

Among the mostly hotly debated possibilities was that Kate and Prince William were experiencing marital troubles, the likes of which had left Kate with no option but to withdraw from the spotlight until a solution could be found.

At this stage we’d be remiss in our duties if we didn’t point out that any and all reports of William and Kate’s romance being in crisis remain unconfirmed. That said, the topic has generated enough attention to make it an undeniable fact that the public are at the very least extremely intrigued.

The crux of the aforementioned marital bother William and Kate are purported to have found themselves in centers around the rumor that William had engaged in an affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.

According to reports, Rose and her husband David Rocksavage, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, have been in William and Kate’s social circle for some time. Once upon a time, the ever-reliable Sun newspaper tried to flog speculation that Kate and Rose had a falling out (leading to a not-insignificant amount of people claiming the cause was an affair between Rose and William).

And it seems as though that candle of scandal continues to burn even today, some five years since The Sun published the aforesaid information.

Last week there were multiple articles written about Rose – in the midst of the media throng to find out where Kate Middleton was – with some news outlets even being accused of ‘soft-launching’ the Marchioness in preparation for a time wherein her alleged affair with William became official news.

Of course, the outlandish rumors appear to be just that… outlandish. Even so, Rose Hanbury herself was bothered enough to break her silence and firmly deny that any affair had ever taken place.

As per reports, Business Insider reached out to Rose’s lawyers this weekend for comment. The reply they got read: “The rumors are completely false.”

So there you have it… case closed, perhaps, maybe, for now.

What do you think to the incessant speculation about Kate Middleton and Prince William? Let us know in the comments.

Natasha Gregson Wagner, daughter of the embattled Robert Wagner, has taken up the mantle to defend her father against persistent suspicions surrounding the untimely death of her mother, Natalie Wood.

At 93 years old, Robert Wagner’s illustrious career includes collaborations with Hollywood luminaries like Raquel Welch and Paul Newman, as well as memorable roles in beloved television series such as “It Takes a Thief” and “Hart to Hart.”

Known for his portrayal of Dr. Evil in the iconic Austin Powers film franchise, Wagner reflects on his romantic involvements with legends like Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Crawford, highlighting a significant connection with Barbara Stanwyck during the filming of Titanic in 1953.

However, amid these glamorous associations, it was Natalie Wood, the captivating brunette, who captured his heart from their early days at 20th Century Fox. Their connection, initiated when Wood was just 10 years old, culminated in marriage not once but twice.

Wood, fondly remembered for her role in Miracle on 34th Street, expressed her admiration for Wagner in a 1976 interview, recalling their initial meeting and foreseeing their eventual union.

After their first marriage in 1957, subsequent divorce, and a decade apart, they rekindled their romance, welcoming a daughter named Courtney in 1974.

Tragically, Wood met her demise in 1981 under mysterious circumstances during a yacht trip with Wagner and actor Christopher Walken. Natasha, then 11, found herself under her father’s guardianship.

Despite years of maintaining silence, Natasha, now 52, co-produced the 2020 HBO documentary “Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind,” aiming to vindicate her father. Wagner, now 90, maintains his innocence, supported by his daughter’s unwavering trust.

The official investigation into Wood’s death concluded in 2020, leaving unanswered questions lingering about the tragic event.

As a dedicated father and grandfather, Wagner offers glimpses of his family life on Instagram, earning praise for his enduring commitment to his late wife’s memory and his continued involvement in his children’s lives.

Fans appreciate his grace and celebrate the moments he shares with his family, marking milestones together.

Today, Bo Derek is happily married but once ruined the marriage of an actress she adored by stealing her husband. Although Bo and the man eventually tied the knot and were married for 22 years, she still hates herself for doing it. Here are the details.

American Actress and Model Bo Derek has been in the movie industry for many years. Her career skyrocketed in 1979, following her appearance in the romantic comedy “10.”

Afterward, the Hollywood star bagged roles in other productions such as “Bolero,” “Tarzan, the Ape Man,” “Ghosts Can’t Do It,” and many others.

Although Bo only shot to fame in 1979, she had already been in the acting business. At age 16, she was cast in “Fantasies,” directed by John Derek, a man who would eventually become Bo’s first husband. During a chat with Interview Magazine, the actress recalled how the interview for the movie role made her meet John.

According to Bo, she had gotten a call from her agent, explaining that she had an interview for a role in a few days. Next, she told her inquisitive mom, who was by her side, that the interview was with John Derek.

Immediately, the actress’s mom was excited and could not hold back her thoughts about how handsome the director was. A few days later, Bo would confirm her mother’s words when she saw John for the first time. In the “Bolero” star’s words:

“And when I walked in and met him in the office, I thought, ‘Oh, Mom was right. He is so handsome.”

Then, John told the actress about his desire to cast her in “Fantasies.” However, Bo could only take on the role on the condition that she would leave school and travel to Greece for the filming.

Without hesitation, Bo accepted John’s conditions. The actress’s mother gave her blessings and tagged along with her daughter as a chaperone to the beautiful island of Mykonos in Greece.

Surprisingly, Mykonos had other plans for Bo and John. Not only did they leave the island with a movie, but also a controversial love affair.

A LOVE AFFAIR IN A FOREIGN LAND

When Bo and John first met, the latter married Veteran Actress Linda Evans. The director was also 30 years Bo’s senior, but the age gap and John’s marital status did not stop the “10” star from falling in love.

During the chat with Interview Magazine, Bo explained that their romance blossomed in Mykonos, even though her mom was there, making it feel awkward and strange.

According to the actress, she and John’s love was incredible. Bo explained that John admired strong women, and she was one, even though she was very young.

So, while at Mykonos, the actress knew their love was not as one-sided as many may have thought. Their romance grew with each passing day, and after filming was over, the pair were ready to go public with it.

Following the controversies surrounding Bo’s 22-year first marriage, the actress never expected to find love again.
Unfortunately, John’s marriage to Evans paid the price for their love to continue. The former couple divorced, allowing the director and Bo to focus on their relationship.

John and Bo remained in Europe as they could not return to the US due to the statutory laws. According to the law, the duo’s relationship was illegal because Bo was a minor, and John could face rape charges.

The lovebirds were unwilling to take risks, so Bo dropped out of high school to remain with her man in Europe. There, they had a lot of adventures together.

Bo was even privileged to meet Ursula Andress, John’s second wife, and close friend, in Switzerland. After touring Europe for a while, the couple’s stay ended when Bo turned 18. Then, they returned to California and eventually tied the knot in 1976.

While Bo and John seemed to be in a happy place, not everyone was in support of their romance. The actress revealed that her parents were quite upset with her decision. Nevertheless, Bo still stayed with John until his demise.

As a result, many believed that they were meant for each other. However, the actress thought otherwise, realizing that marrying John was wrong, even though they were happy.

Many years after John passed away, Bo still lives with the guilt of ruining Evans’ marriage. During a 2016 interview with Interview Magazine, the Hollywood star revealed that stealing someone’s husband was the worst thing to do, and she hated herself for it. Bo confessed:

“I remember I was doing an interview with Oprah, and she asked about it. I said, ‘No, I don’t forgive myself for that.’”

The actress’s act made her feel even more guilty, especially as Evans, who Bo worshipped and adored, was kind to her. Due to the guilt, Bo said she always felt like shit whenever she and Evans crossed paths.

On the other hand, Evans surprisingly revealed that her divorce from John helped her greatly. At first, it was the hardest and one of the most devastating experiences she had been through. But later, it became a silver lining.

Had she not divorced John, who did not want her to work, Evans revealed that she would not have appeared in “Dynasty” and known all the magic that followed the show. Meanwhile, although Bo is trying to move on, she will forever live with the guilt of breaking up a beautiful marriage. In her words:

“I might move on and make sure I don’t make the same mistakes again, but you have to move on. But I look back at that time in my life as a terrible mistake.”

Following the controversies surrounding Bo’s 22-year first marriage, the actress never expected to find love again. However, things do not always go the way people expect. Now, Bo is happily married to American Actor John Corbett.

The couple started dating in 2002 but had no intentions of getting married. Bo noted that when they met, it was just “attraction and comfort.” But with time, they started to get a little more settled.

He made Bo laugh all the time, and her feelings for him grew as the years progressed. The couple dated for 20 years before announcing they finally got married in 2020.

Canadian musician Grimes, born Claire Elise Boucher, recently shared insights into the emotional and financial challenges she faced during a year-long custody battle with tech billionaire Elon Musk. Speaking openly on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, Grimes described how the legal struggle over their three children deeply affected her mental health, creative pursuits, and sense of self as a mother.

The custody dispute centered on their children: four-year-old X Æ A-XII, affectionately known as “baby X,” and two-year-old twins Exa Dark Sideræl and Tau Techno Mechanicus.

Grimes revealed that the ordeal left her emotionally depleted and on the brink of financial ruin. “I was going bankrupt,” she confessed, adding that the fear of losing her children and financial stability stifled her creativity. “I just slept and cried every minute I wasn’t actively fighting for my kids,” she shared, explaining the absence of new projects during that period.

The legal proceedings reportedly concluded in December 2023, though the details remain confidential. Despite the resolution, Grimes admitted the experience left lasting scars on her artistic drive.

Reflecting on the transformative nature of motherhood, Grimes described it as a deeply profound journey. “Babies are like ten thousand philosophy classes rolled into one. It’s a form of learning you can only experience through parenting,” she wrote.

However, she also criticized the challenges faced by mothers in the legal system. “I spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers’ rights. Even my Instagram posts and modeling work were used against me as reasons I shouldn’t have custody of my kids,” she disclosed, adding that she was separated from one of her children for five months during the fight.

Grimes also commented on Musk’s evolving personality, expressing sadness over the changes she observed. “He’s become unrecognizable compared to the person I fell in love with,” she remarked. Despite the emotional toll, she acknowledged the experience as a defining chapter of her life, saying, “I fought for my kids and detached from the love of my life, all while having only a fraction of his resources.”

Elon Musk, who is a father to 12 children, has been outspoken about his commitment to having a large family and addressing global population decline. In addition to his children with Grimes, he shares six with his first wife, Justine Wilson, and two with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
