Simone Biles is bringing her bronze Olympic medal back to Texas, and her residence is nothing short of extraordinary. The 24-year-old gymnast acquired an almost 4,000-square-foot home located north of Houston, Texas, in July 2020, as reported by the Houston Chronicle.

This impressive property boasts four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and a pool that Biles had installed after moving in. The newly constructed home features wood and tile floors, a media room, and a special treat for her famous French Bulldogs, Lilo and Rambo – a dedicated dog wash station, as shared with the Chronicle.

Constructed in 2019, the stucco home showcases an open floor plan with a foyer, a family room equipped with a fireplace and tray ceilings, a kitchen, and a dining room, all detailed in the listing.

The kitchen itself boasts high-end appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinets, and an oversized island, offering a stylish and functional space. The primary bedroom suite impresses with dual walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and a freestanding tub.

Situated on a one-acre lot within a gated community, the property includes a three-car garage, a compact outdoor kitchen, and a charming outdoor dining area with swinging chairs, according to the listing.

Throughout the house, arched doorways and wall insets contribute to a polished aesthetic. Biles’ workout routines even come with a view of her well-appointed kitchen.

 

The community provides access to a private park with pathways, woods, and landscaping, as highlighted on the community’s website. Remarkably, this luxurious home came at a cost of less than $750,000, according to property records.

Biles, a seven-time Olympic medalist, is believed to share the residence with her 25-year-old boyfriend, Houston Texans football player Jonathan Owens, and Owens’ English Bulldog, Zeus, according to various reports.

The spa-like bathroom with a walk-in shower and a separate freestanding tub is a serene retreat within the home, captured in photos shared by Biles on Instagram. Her bedroom, complete with a stylish bed, is also showcased in the images, offering a glimpse into the gymnast’s personal space.

Despite her athletic achievements, Biles has been celebrated not just for her performance on the balance beam but also as a role model for mentаl health, having withdrawn from the gymnastic team final at this year’s Olympics due to the “twisties” and the recent loss of her aunt.

While fans cheered her on during her bronze medal win, a representative for Biles did not respond to a request for comment on her stunning Texas home.

Ben Affleck appeared in good spirits while deboarding a private jet with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, hours before Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce.

On Tuesday, the exes landed in Los Angeles after dropping their daughter Violet off at Yale University in New Haven, Conn.

The ringless actor, who wore a button-up shirt and black slacks, smiled as he walked down the plane’s steps with a leather duffle bag in tow.

Garner followed shortly behind, wearing a black T-shirt and green cargo pants with a backpack tossed over her shoulder.

The former couple, both 52, were joined by their 15-year-old child, Seraphina, who sported a Yale sweatshirt.

The family then hopped into Affleck’s matte black BMW and took off with the actress riding shotgun.

Hours after these pics were snapped, Lopez filed to divorce the “Gone Girl” star, listing April 26 as their separation date.

According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Lopez suggested that the two did not sign a prenup agreement and she requested the judge forgo spousal support.

Her filing for divorce on Tuesday was particularly significant as it marked the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony.

The “Gigli” co-stars rekindled their romance in 2021 after breaking off their first engagement in the early 2000s.

“They’ve turned the page on all the unfinished business of 20-plus years ago. They’ve seen things through to the end — and they know for sure now that they are not built for the long haul,” sources previously told Page Six.

Insiders told us that Affleck, Lopez and their five kids are “ready to move on” with their lives, as rumors of the A-list couple’s split have been ongoing for months.

The “Good Will Hunting” star shares Violet, 18, Seraphina, and Samuel, 12, with Garner, while Lopez shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

The former couple sparked split rumors when Affleck opted out of attending the Met Gala with Lopez in May.

That same month, the actor moved out of his and the “Marry Me” star’s shared Beverly Hills home and stepped out sans wedding ring.

The estranged couple also spent most of the summer apart with Lopez traveling to Europe and the Hamptons while Affleck stayed close to his kids in Los Angeles.

While the two have yet to speak out about their split, rumors of their separation heightened as they spent their Las Vegas wedding anniversary apart in July.

Despite separating, the “Jenny On the Block” singer has continued to spend time with Affleck’s kids.

A millionaire is stunned when he finds out that his only daughter is living an impoverished life with her twin babies in an old trailer, and he rushes to her aid, unaware his life will never be the same after that day.

As Ben Doyle sliced the steak on his plate and took the first bite of the tender meat, a clinking sound broke the pin-drop silence in his gigantic mansion. He picked up the TV remote and tuned in to the state news channel, as he always did.

Every evening, Ben ate dinner alone while he watched the news because he didn’t have a family. His ex-wife, Cindy, had left him years ago and taken their only daughter, Leah, with her because he was a nobody back then.

At the time, Ben was working odd jobs and trying to start his own business, but all of his endeavors were failing. Cindy wanted a good life and was done with him and his struggles, so she divorced him and married a rich man.

Ben’s finances were not stable, and he couldn’t win Leah’s custody, but he loved her and sent her gifts on her birthday every year.

Years later, when Cindy’s husband received a work transfer and the couple relocated to a different state, Ben lost touch with Leah. He tried calling Cindy to find out where she was, but Cindy didn’t return his calls or texts and even forbade Leah to have any sort of communication with him whatsoever.

All alone and with nobody to love him, Ben’s only focus became his work. He worked day and night until he became a millionaire. But though he had money, fame, and a comfortable lifestyle, Ben didn’t see the point in all of it when he didn’t have people to love him.

He arrived home every evening and there was no one to welcome him. He ate dinner alone while watching TV, then went to bed, woke up the next morning, and returned to work. This was not how he had imagined his life to be…

That day, while Ben was watching TV, the news channel was running a report on women empowerment. The reporter had interviewed women from different strata, including the underprivileged, and Ben was not interested in watching any of it.

“Is that all they got to show us now? Don’t they have something better to report?” he grumbled as he picked up the remote to change the channel. But then he stopped.

He stopped because he couldn’t believe his eyes and the fact that the reporter’s next interviewee was his daughter.

“Good Lord? Leah?” Ben’s eyes teared as he watched the report, which mentioned his daughter was living in an old trailer with her twin babies.

“What – what is she doing there? How can she just—” Ben noted Leah’s address flashed at the bottom of the screen, and the next moment he knew, he was in his car, feeding the location into Google Maps.

What was Leah doing in town? Didn’t she move with Cindy to a different state? Why was she in such a terrible condition? Ben felt like his head would explode with his countless questions. He drove as fast as he could, and moments that seemed like hours later, he was right in front of the trailer.

It was evening, and he couldn’t see the trailer very well owing to the darkness, but he could still make out its shabby condition. His tears didn’t stop as he knocked on the door.

A couple of minutes later, Leah answered the door and was shocked to see him. “Dad? Oh, God! What happened to you, and how did you —”

Ben hugged Leah tightly. “What happened to you, Leah? What are you doing here? Why didn’t you contact me if you were struggling?”

Leah pushed him away. “Enough, dad! You were the one who walked out on us. Don’t you remember? Mom told me everything. You never wanted us because you loved your business and career. What’s the point of it all now?”

“Is that what Cindy told you?” Ben was shocked. “Do you really believe that?”

“Of course, I believe mom. She was always by my side when you weren’t!”

Ben shook his head. “If you give me a chance to explain myself, I want to tell you that it’s not the truth, honey. It’s not….”

“Are you sure? Where were you all these years then?”

Ben sighed. “Can I please take a seat before I start? I’m exhausted.”

Leah opened the door wider without uttering a word and let him inside the trailer. Ben spotted the twins sleeping in an old bed in the center of the small space, and he felt terrible.

“Before I tell you my side of the story,” he said, sitting on a stool. “I hope you take all those negative things about me out of your head. The truth is, Leah, when you were 10, your mother relocated to a different state with you. She never allowed me to contact you. Every year, I would send you gifts, and—”

“Gifts?” Leah interrupted him. “What gifts?”

Ben sighed. “So she didn’t let you have those presents… Here,” He showed her pictures on his phone. “Every small memory about you is saved on my phone — the pictures we took, the presents I sent you, everything. I look at it whenever I miss you. I used to send you gifts every year, but after you relocated to another state, I couldn’t reach you. I found out about you while watching the news today. But, honey, what happened to you? What exactly are you doing here?”

At this point, Leah’s tears knew no bounds. She had been wrong about her father. “I’m so sorry, dad. Mom died a few years ago…cancer…and after that, my stepfather married someone else. I was dating a guy who brought me here after promising that we would start a family here and that he would get a good job. We did start a family, but he abruptly left us one day and never returned. This is the only way I could survive on my own. I work as a tailor to support my girls….”

Ben held her hands in his. “Listen, Leah, we can’t change what happened in the past, but we can make our future better. You and your children are coming with me! I can’t let my daughter live like this, please. You don’t deserve this….”

“I don’t know what to say, dad. I’m so sorry. Perhaps I should have made an effort to get in touch with you. I am so so sorry….”

“It’s okay, honey,” he said, hugging her. “I love you no matter what!”

“Love you too, dad. And I’m sorry again….”

After Leah moved in with Ben, he offered her a high position in his company, but Leah refused. She was inspired by how Ben made a name for himself, and she wanted to do it too. She thanked him for his support and that he gave her shelter and became the best grandad to his twin daughters.

Leah wants to make Ben proud, so she’s learning business basics from him while working part-time as an intern at his company. But whatever happens in the future, whether Leah makes it huge in life or not, she and Ben are finally happy, and the twins have a devoted grandfather. That’s all that matters. After all, at the end of the day, nothing feels more precious than a happy family.

The actress emotionally addressed François Pinault. Salma Hayek warmly congratulated her father-in-law on his personal holiday.

The star of the film “Frida” found harmony in an alliance with French businessman Francois Henri-Pinault. The couple are raising a 15-year-old daughter, Valentina. Salma communicates warmly with her husband’s relatives. Hayek congratulated her father-in-law on his birthday, he turned 88 years old.

The actress published a cute photo with Francois Pinault. In the photo they posed on the ocean in Brittany. Salma wore her long dark hair down and wore light makeup. She wore a turtleneck and a milky skirt. The Mexican native complemented the outfit with sunglasses.

Hayek’s father-in-law looked rested and fit. He put on a blue T-shirt, a dark polo, a light blue trench coat and trousers of the same shade. The actress smiled and hugged Francois, who hugged her to him in a fatherly way.

“In Brittany we celebrate the birthday of my wonderful father-in-law, who is getting younger every day,” Salma emotionally signed the publication.

Last year, in honor of her father-in-law’s birthday, the artist published an archival photo of him. They posed in a luxurious antique interior with a glass of champagne. Salma thanked her husband’s father for raising the love of her life.

François Pinault was born on August 21 in Le Champ-Gerault. Salma’s husband’s father is a French businessman, collector and philanthropist. He has been married to Marivonne Pinault for over 50 years. The couple have three adult children. Hayek’s father-in-law is on the list of the richest people on the planet.

Barbra Streisand has once again expressed her disdain for former President Donald Trump. After coldly serenading Trump in her song “Don’t Lie to Me,” she recently told Stephen Colbert, “I can’t live in this country if he becomes president.” Streisand labeled Trump “so stupid” and “ill-informed,” reiterating her threat to leave the U.S. if he is re-elected in 2024.

This isn’t the first time Streisand has made such a claim. In 2016, many celebrities, including Streisand, vowed to flee the country if Trump won. Despite their threats, none followed through.

The 81-year-old Democratic supporter has never hidden her dislike for Trump, calling him the “Liar in Chief” and the “Groper in Chief.” Her 2018 album “Walls” was inspired by Trump’s presidency, featuring songs like “Don’t Lie to Me” that reflect her frustrations.

In her memoir “My Name is Barbra,” she discusses why artists speak out politically, emphasizing that art is a tyrant’s enemy. Ahead of the 2016 election, she even joked about moving to Australia or Canada if Trump won.

Despite their vocal opposition, celebrities’ threats to leave didn’t influence the voting outcome. As the 2024 elections approach, Streisand remains vocal, calling for a restoration of truth in America.

While shows like the X Factor and Britain’s/America’s Got Talent continue to remind us that ordinary people can have the most extraordinary of talents (hello Susan Boyle), we still find ourselves astonished when someone far removed from the world of show business rises from the woodwork to show off their brilliance.Дворник решил выступить на концерте для школьников и стал рок-звездой

Take school janitor Richard Goodall for example who rocks up to assembly and performs one of the best covers of Journey’s 1981 classic Don’t Stop Believin’ we’ve heard to date.

Dressed in his uniform from the County School Corporation of Terre Haute, Indiana – (where he’s worked for over twenty years) 53-year-old Goodhall timidly latches onto the mic stand, while showcasing a set of pipes as remarkable as Steve Perry the song’s original powerhouse vocalist.

Meanwhile, his young audience jump and raise their arms, dancing along to his cover, which was one of just many performances that he’s provided for the school to entertain the pupils.

Since the initial footage of Goodhall’s cover was posted by his co-worker Mariah Denehie on TikTok, it has been viewed more than 10 million times. He has since appeared on news outlets such as ABC News, where he explains: “It’s humbly and it’s fun but yeah I’m still the same person I’m always going to be, I’m just me, you know.”Indiana school janitor wows internet with 'Don't Stop Believin''  performance, is praised by Journey singer | Fox News

The video even found its way under the radar of former Journey singer Perry who tweeted “I love this”. The band followed with their own message, simply writing “Love this!”.

After seeing the stamp of approval from the band and Perry, Goodhall tells the channel: “I was in half-tears because this is the stuff I’ve grown up on, the people I listened to. I don’t have any formal training. When I was the kid I was the kid who had speakers all around his bedroom and I just turned on the radio and belted it out, you know.”

On how he marries his love of singing with his custodian job at the school, he says: “I’m not just the guy who wipes the tables down and takes out the trash, I like people to smile and be happy”.

Speaking of why he chose to perform the Journey hit, the janitor explains that it was because he wants his students to “never stop believing” themselves and for them to “chase their dreams”.

Excuse us while we go wipe away a tear.

In a collaboration that is set to make waves in Hollywood

Kevin Costner has selected Roseanne Barr as the leading actress for his ambitious $500 million “non-woke” film project.

Their partnership aims to deliver a refreshing perspective on storytelling that will engage audiences seeking something different.

Here’s a deeper dive into what this collaboration means for the industry.

Kevin Costner, renowned for his versatile work in both acting and directing, has made it clear that his new production studio will prioritize stories that speak to diverse audiences without pandering to fleeting trends. His vision with this $500 million movie is to present a narrative that isn’t afraid to challenge prevailing norms. Roseanne Barr, famous for her no-nonsense comedic style, was a natural choice to lead the project.

After her departure from the popular sitcom “Roseanne,” Barr has found her way back into the spotlight. Taking a prominent role in Costner’s film is not just a personal comeback but also a strong statement on artistic freedom and taking risks.

In recent interviews, Barr shared her excitement about working with Costner, emphasizing that this project aligns with her values of bold creativity. She looks forward to being part of a movie that “embraces storytelling without compromise.”

While the specific plot details are being kept secret, the film is expected to blend drama and humor to convey the resilience and creativity that shape the American spirit. Costner’s unique storytelling flair, combined with Barr’s sharp comedic timing, could create a winning formula.

Insiders close to the production have hinted that the film will feature a well-rounded ensemble cast, reflecting Costner and Barr’s shared commitment to unconventional narratives. Costner is known for bringing the American hero to life on screen and will channel that in this new project.

Costner’s “non-woke” production studio is about providing filmmakers with a space to express themselves creatively, without worrying about being too controversial. He wants to move past restrictive industry norms and bring a fearless style of storytelling to life.

In a recent interview, Costner said, “Audiences are craving stories that reflect real life in all its complexity. I aim to present narratives that are unafraid to challenge perspectives and provoke thought.” Barr’s direct approach to addressing sensitive topics aligns well with this philosophy.

This partnership between Costner and Barr has already stirred excitement in the entertainment world. Fans and critics alike are eager to see how their creative synergy will play out on screen. Some view it as a potential game-changer that could redefine storytelling in Hollywood, while others are cautiously optimistic about its “non-woke” branding.

With a hefty budget and high-profile talent involved, the film is set to be one of the most talked-about productions this year. A strong marketing campaign and wide theatrical release will reveal how well it resonates with the audience. There are even rumors of potential sequels and spin-offs if it succeeds.

Roseanne Barr’s involvement in Kevin Costner’s $500 million “non-woke” film signals an important milestone for both stars. They are united in their desire to bring unique storytelling to life, one that challenges conventional Hollywood trends. While many details remain a mystery, their shared vision is bound to spark conversations and intrigue audiences looking for something new and compelling.
