Jennifer Garner looked comfortable as she packed on the PDA with her longtime beau Thursday in Los Angeles.

The actress, 51, who says she has a ‘healthy relationship’ with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, 50, kept it casual wearing a white tank top and a navy blue pair of leggings as she gave boyfriend John Miller a farewell kiss.

The newly minted Party Down star appeared to be makeup free and styled her chestnut brown hair in a loose bun atop her head.

John, about 45, looked equally relaxed in a dark T-shirt and jeans.

The businessman brushed his dark hair forward and his beard was closely cropped.

Both seemed to be enjoying an afternoon cup of coffee, although Jennifer’s was in a ceramic cup and John’s was in a cardboard cup for the road.

The couple have been dating since 2018, but are rarely seen in public together, preferring to keep their private life to themselves.

The Alias star does not share photos of her three kids, Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14 and Sam, 11 on social media.

John is a divorced dad of two, Violet and Quest, whom he shares with ex-wife, violinist Caroline Campbell.

‘I understand what it is to be the grown-up in the room and the weight of that, that I just have to keep showing up,’ the Emmy nominee said in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times about her how she won her role in the Apple+ series, The Last Thing He Told Me.

In the show, Jennifer’s character Hannah, tries to bond with and protect her angry step-daughter after her husband mysteriously disappears.

The matter-of-fact actress admitted she wasn’t the first person considered for the part.

‘I’d taken myself out of the game a bit — I needed to be at home and fully available,’ she admitted.

She and Ben divorced in 2018, three years after going their separate ways.

The Air star married his former fiancée, Jennifer Lopez, 53, last summer.

The West Virginia raised star said she drew inspiration from three time Oscar winner Meryl Streep when preparing for her role as a woodturner.

‘This is so goofy, but the truth,’ she explained.

‘When “Bridges of Madison County came out, I remember reading that Meryl Streep ironed sheets for months just to get the feel in her body of this woman at the center of the story.’

‘If Meryl does it, there’s got to be something to it. And there’s truth to that. It really helped me tap into Hannah’s stillness and her ability to focus and let go.’

A source tells ET how Ben Affleck has been supporting his ex-wife since her father’s death and his future plans with Jennifer Lopez.

Ben Affleck is doing all he can to be supportive of his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, as she mourns the death of her father.

A source tells ET that the 51-year-old actor and director has been “actively involved” with his 52-year-old former spouse as she grieves and “is supportive across the board.”

“He has been checking in on her and making sure she knows he is there for her since her dad’s passing. It was the kids’ grandfather and Ben and him always got along,” the source adds. “He considered him family and always will.”

Garner shared the news that her father, William Garner, “passed peacefully” at the age of 85 last month.

“We were with him, singing Amazing Grace as he left us (did we carry him across or scare him away— valid question),” she shared on Instagram, alongside a collage of family photos. “While there is no tragedy in the death of an 85 year old man who lived a healthy, wonderful life, I know grief is unavoidable, waiting around unexpected corners.”

However, Garner wrote, “Today is for gratitude.”

“We are grateful for Dad’s gentle demeanor and quiet strength,” she wrote. “For how he teased with a mischievous smile, and for the way he invented the role of all in, ever patient girl dad. We are grateful for his work ethic, leadership and faith.”

The source also tells ET that “beyond dealing with this loss,” Garner has been “in a happy place” as she and Affleck continue co-parenting their children, Violet, 17, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 11.

“Jennifer is in a very happy place and gets along with Ben and Jen[nifer Lopez]. Jennifer and Jen have gotten closer, which is nice for both of them. Jennifer Garner and John Miller are doing well and they have talked about escalating their relationship to the next level,” the source adds of Garner and Affleck’s respective partners.

The actress has been quietly dating John Miller since 2018 while Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, 54, rekindled their romance in 2021 and got married in Las Vegas on July 16 — three months following their engagement.

“Jen and Ben are doing well and are very happy together. Their kids bring them even closer together and keep them humble,” the source shares of Affleck and his superstar wife. “Jen and Ben are supportive of one another and just want the best for their relationship and family. Their kids love being a blended family and mesh well together. They’re all kind and get along well.”

Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, whom she was married to from 2004-2014.

Most recently, the couple has made headlines after having their relationship highlighted in Lopez’s documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. In the doc, Lopez and Affleck recount their devastating breakup and reflect on their love today.

The appearance of love in her life inspired Lopez to pen her new album, This Is Me… Now, and prompted her to create a musical experience of the same name too.

While the public’s response to Lopez’s recent releases have been polarizing, the source tells ET that the singer hasn’t been giving “outside hate” much attention. “She has always had to deal with criticism and knows that she is misunderstood by some. She realizes that will always be the case because she’s an artist and there are people who don’t get her or know her,” the source shares.

The source adds: “Ben is 100 percent supportive of Jen and keeps it real with her. They both know this is part of the business and remind each other that you can’t please everyone. They acknowledge what really matters, lift each other up, and encourage each other’s talents and capabilities.”

As for the couple’s future, the source shares that Lopez and Affleck are looking into new housing. “Jen and Ben would love to get a place in New York and are open to buying. It just depends because it has to be perfect and something they really want to invest in. Jen is a New York girl at heart and loves being back close to where she was raised,” the source says.

Amid news of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s reported marital troubles, the couple are maintaining a quiet but unified front while continuing to lead their personal and professional lives.

Through it all, however, the 51-year-old actor remains a doting father to not only JLo’s twins Max and Emme, but his own children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.

The three children have grown up in the spotlight as a result of their parents’ high-profile relationship, with their marriage lasting from 2005-2018. And over the years, they’ve grown into adorable versions of their parents, such as when Fin used their new name publicly for the first time, seen in the clip below…

Take a look at some of the cutest public moments from Violet, Fin, and Samuel in the spotlight in photos…

All three together

In 2018, all three kids joined their mom for her star ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It’s one of the only public appearances from Fin, who prefers to lead their life more privately than their siblings.

Violet in the White House

In December 2022, Violet made a big step, accompanying her mom for the White House state dinner for French President Emmanuel Macron, with the two matching in black dresses.

Legal Ties

It seems like the oldest of the bunch has a pronounced interest in high-profile legal events, as in 2015, at just nine years old, she joined her mom as they listened to Ben testify before a Senate Appropriations State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee.

Ben Affleck looked like he lost 10 years after shaving off his salt-and-pepper beard.

The actor showed off his new clean face when he was on dad duty on Thursday with his son Samuel, 12.

The Air star held a basketball while his boy pulled his wheeled backpack behind him.

The  Argo star – who attended his son’s basketball game with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner – was spotted twirling the basketball on his fingers in front of the open hatch of his black Mercedes.

He wore a green button-down shirt over a maroon t-shirt with a maroon corduroy jacket and khakis.

Ben Affleck, 51, put on a VERY youthful show as she stepped out in LA on Thursday – looking like he had shaved off YEARS after ditching his beard (seen right in LA on February 1)

Affleck shares his son as well as daughters Seraphina, 18, and Violet, 15, with ex-wife Garner, 51.

Affleck and Garner were spotted last week putting on a united co-parenting front with each other as they attended Samuel’s basketball game.

After the game, the former couple moved Samuel’s bags from Ben’s car to Jen’s.

The outing comes after fans of the Alias alum were outraged to find out that Ben kept love letters from Jennifer Lopez, 54, during his 13 year marriage to Garner.

He had the letters and emails bound into a book to gift the Jenny from the Block singer when they reunited in 2021.

But insiders have quashed any notion that the admission shocked Garner, insisting she is happy for Affleck and Lopez – who she is friends with – and is also at peace in her relationship with John Miller.

‘Ben would love for the outside world not to know about his love letters, but he is a romantic, and as much as he loved Jennifer, he never got over JLo,’ a source told DailyMail.com.

‘Ben keeps his memories, whether it is from movies he worked on or family and relationship moments, he always has what the kids call “receipts.”‘

In a whirlwind of celebrity romance, Anthony Kiedis, the iconic frontman of the Red Hоt Chili Peppers, has once again captured headlines with his latest romantic endeavor. At 61, Kiedis has been spotted engaging in a public display of affection with his new flame, a 19-year-old blonde beauty, shortly after parting ways with his 22-year-old model ex-girlfriend. Amidst the chatter of gossip columns and social media frenzy, the rockstar boldly declares, “This time it’s real love.”

The sighting of Kiedis, renowned for his magnetic stage presence and lyrical prowess, in the arms of his much younger paramour has sparked a mix of intrigue and speculation among fans and critics alike. With a notable age gap of 42 years between them, the relationship has inevitably raised eyebrows and ignited debates on the dynamics of age-disparate romances in the realm of celebrity.

However, for Kiedis, age seems to be merely a number as he unabashedly embraces this new chapter of his personal life. Friends close to the musician reveаl that his connection with his young girlfriend transcends superficial boundaries, rooted instead in shared passions, mutual respect, and genuine affection. Despite the skepticism from outsiders, Kiedis remаins resolute in his conviction that this romance is built on authenticity and sincerity.

“This time it’s real love,” Kiedis declares, dismissing any doubts or cynicism surrounding his relationship. For the seasoned rocker who has experienced the highs and lows of fаme, fortune, and heartbreak, this proclamation carries a weight of significance. It speaks to a newfound sense of contentment and fulfillment that has eluded him in previous dalliances.

The public display of affection witnessed between Kiedis and his young girlfriend serves as a testament to the intensity of their bond. Whether strolling hand in hand along the sun-kissed beaches of Malibu or sharing intimate moments at trendy Hollywood hotspots, the couple’s affectionate gestures paint a portrait of love in bloom.

Michael J. Fox’s life changed forever when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in his 20s. The beloved Back to the Future and Spin City actor kept his diagnosis a secret for many years. But as of today, as the news about it is out, Fox is doing everything he can to spread knowledge about Parkinson’s, raising millions and millions of dollars.

While Parkinson’s has significantly impacted his life, Michael J. Fox still has one of the most beautiful love stories. He and his wife have been married for more than 35 years. Their love is still strong today, and their children are all grown up.

In recent years, it was revealed that Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s Disease had grown worse. But just days ago, he appeared on the red carpet, looking fabulous.

Michael J. Fox’s life has been a great success, even though his Parkinson’s Disease has taken its toll on him.

Born on June 9, 1961, in Edmonton, Canada, Fox’s childhood was very special as his father had worked in the Canadian Armed Forces, and therefore, the family moved around a lot. Finally, the family settled in Burnaby, British Columbia, and Michael J. Fox found his passion for acting in junior high.

Michael J. Fox – early life & career

He joined the Drama division at school, and it was evident he was a talented actor. Per his website, his theater teacher encouraged him to audition for a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation series, Leo & Me, and Fox got the part.

He got several roles on television and, at the same time, worked at the local theater in Vancouver. Michael J. Fox had decided that acting was his call in life at that point. At the age of 17, he packed his bags to pursue an acting career in Los Angeles.

Fox dropped out of high school, and his parents always supported his big dreams. His father even drove him all the way to Los Angeles. Speaking on LIVE with Kelly and Mark recently, Fox said he still doesn’t know how he convinced his father to do it.

“I told him that I wanted to go to Los Angeles, I knew I wanted to go to the United States, I knew I wanted to be an actor. My father, I know, thought I was a hippie. He looked me in the eyes and said, ‘If you want to be a lumberjack, you might as well go to the forest.’ So he got me in the car and drove me to California,” Michael J. Fox recalled.

Michael Fox didn’t initially have the “J” in his name. Once in Hollywood, he attempted to join the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), the labor union for film and television workers worldwide. However, when applying, he saw that there was another member named “Michael Fox.” Therefore, Fox added a middle initial to his name, choosing “J” as an homage to his favorite actor, Michael J. Pollard.

MIchael J Fox

Fox fulfilled his dream of becoming an actor, and after only a few years, he got one of his most memorable roles. He was cast as Alex P. Keaton on the comedy series Family Ties, which became one of the biggest comedy series on television.

Michael J. Fox & Tracy Pollan’s love story
The promising actor became a star and won three Primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award for his performances on the show.

Not long afterward, he landed other parts, including his legendary role as Marty McFly in Back to the Future.

The same year as Back to the Future was released, in 1985, Michael J. Fox would meet someone who would change his life forever.

On the set of Family Ties, he met Tracy Pollan. They were cast as each other’s love interests on the show. Sparks were only on-screen at the time, but a few years later, they’d reunite and fall in love.

Even so, Michael J. Fox already had a crush on Tracy while working on Family Ties.

“I developed a crush on her right away. When she left the show – the day she left the show, we were in the parking lot getting into our respective cars. She was getting into a rented Volkswagen, and I was getting into my Ferrari. And she called me over and said she wanted to play me a song. She played me a James Taylor song called That’s Why I’m Here, which was ostensibly about John Belushi. And one of the lines was, ‘John’s gone, found dead, died high. He’s brown bread, later said to have drowned in his bed. After the laughter, the wave of dread, it hits us like a ton of lead. That’s why we’re here,’” Fox recalled in an interview with NPR.

“And I instantly knew what she meant,” he added. “She had only known me for a short time, but I was partying too hard. And I was really on a crash course to something bad happening. And as I got back in my Ferrari and got on my cellphone, and turned on my quadraphonic stereo, I realized she was right. I was going down the wrong road. And I ran into her a year later. She auditioned for a film I made called Bright Lights, Big City. And I said, how’s so-and-so, your boyfriend? And she said, ‘We’re not going out anymore.’ And I said, ‘You want to have lunch?’ And within two years, we were married.”

Michael J. Fox – Parkinson’s

Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan tied the knot in 1988. They welcomed four children: Sam Michael Fox (born in 1989), twins Schuyler Frances and Aquinnah Kathleen (1995), and Esmé Annabelle (2001).

Fox was standing on top of the world. He had a very successful acting career and a wonderful family. But in 1991, at age 29, the beloved actor got the terrible news that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.

At first, Michael J. Fox thought he had a sports injury after developing a tremor in his pinky finger. The neurologist recommended he visit a physical therapist. However, it was not a sports injury but Parkinson’s.

“I had made my way shellshocked back to the apartment and met Tracy and told her, admittedly somewhat tearfully, this had been pronounced. And she didn’t blink. I could tell right away she was with me, and she was with me through whatever happened,” Fox told NPR.

“And, you know, what was tough about it was, with Parkinson’s, you don’t know what to expect because it was a twitching pinkie and a sore shoulder that brought me in there, and that was the basis of the diagnosis,” he added.

Although he had gotten the Parkinson’s diagnosis, Michael J. Fox decided to keep his illness to himself. Only his family knew about it.

Fox got a role as Deputy Mayor Mike Flaherty in the television series Spin City, for which he would go on to win an Emmy Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.

“I just wanted to relax”
When filming the show’s third season, Michael J. Fox realized he could no longer hide his Parkinson’s diagnosis. He decided to tell the world.

“I had press, and media people at my heels. And besides, I just wanted to relax — as much as that doesn’t make sense with Parkinson’s — I wanted to just give myself a break and see what happened. So I did. And I told Barbara Walters and People magazine, and everybody in the world knew,” Fox said.

In another interview, he recalled telling Spin City creator Gary David Goldberg about his illness.

“I shared with Gary – at that point, I was very comfortable. I could hide symptoms in a number of ways that I developed. So I felt confident that I could do it. And he said he would know – if I hadn’t told him, he wouldn’t have known that I had it. It was still very – I was a little stiffer, a little slower, a little less facial expression, but still a viable version of Michael Fox that could be put to work. And so we really began to do the show with confidence that I’d be OK. And I really was OK when I left the show,” Michael J Fox shared.

He left the show in 2000. At that point, he felt that his purpose in life had shifted from working as an actor. Instead, he wanted to focus on Parkinson’s and his foundation to raise money for neurological research.

As of today, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research has gathered more than $1.5 billion. The former actor and loving father-of-four is still doing his best in the fight to find a cure. Not long ago, tremendous progress was made.

In late April, it was announced that a new biomarker for Parkinson’s disease had been discovered.

Devotes his time to Parkinson’s research

As explained on the Michael J. Fox Foundation’s website: “The assay, which targets a protein found in the nervous system called alpha-synuclein, can detect the disease in both people with Parkinson’s and individuals not yet diagnosed or exhibiting symptoms of the disease, but who are at a high risk of developing it.”

The decade-long longitudinal study was led by the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research with support from more than 40 other organizations.

“I’m moved, humbled and blown away by this breakthrough, which is already transforming research and care, with enormous opportunity to grow from here,” Michael J. Fox said at the time. “I’m so grateful for the support of patients, families and researchers who are in it with us as we continue to kick down doors on the path to eradicating Parkinson’s once and for all.”

Michael J. Fox has devoted his life to Parkinson’s research and, of course, spending a lot of time with his family. On July 6, 2023, Michael and Tracy celebrated their 35th anniversary.

“I think we really listen to each other, we are there for each other when we need each other,” Tracy told People about their long-standing marriage. “And then we also give each other space when that’s needed. Just feeling off of what’s needed at the moment and trying to be there.”

Amidst the hustle and bustle of New York City, Jennifer Lopez took a moment to acknowledge her fans while on the set of her television series, Shades of Blue. The multi-talented star was spotted waving to onlookers during a break from filming, radiating her signature charm and warmth.

Despite her busy schedule, Lopez made time to connect with the crowd gathered nearby, flashing her megawatt smile and exchanging friendly gestures with those who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the celebrity. Her genuine interaction with fans showcased her appreciation for their support and admiration, leaving a lasting impression on all who were fortunate enough to witness the moment.

As she continues to captivate audiences with her captivating performances on and off-screen, Lopez’s genuine kindness and approachability serve as a reminder of her enduring appeal and status as a beloved icon in the entertainment industry.

Marie Osmond has undergone a remarkable transformation that has left fans and followers stunned. The beloved singer and entertainer, known for her youthful appearance and dynamic performances, recently stepped out looking virtually unrecognizable.

This drastic change has sparked a flood of reactions, ranging from surprise to admiration. Over the years, Osmond has openly shared her struggles with weight and health, consistently advocating for a balanced lifestyle. Her latest appearance is a testament to her dedication to well-being and personal growth. Marie’s transformation is not only about physical changes but also reflects her resilience and commitment to reinventing herself at every stage of her life.

As she embraces this new chapter, her journey continues to inspire and influence her fans around the world, proving that true beauty evolves and adapts over time.

Reba McEntire, a beloved figure in country music and television, has recently been the center of widespread media attention due to a long-held personal secret that she can no longer conceal. This revelation has sparked interest and discussion among fans and the general public, shedding new light on the star’s off-stage persona.

In a recent interview that has stirred considerable interest and speculation, the 19-year-old girlfriend of Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio, who is 49, has opened up about their relationship. The young woman, whose nаme has not been disclosed, shared her thoughts on their romance, emphasizing that their connection goes beyond age and financial status.

“I’m really happy when I’m with him,” the girlfriend expressed candidly. “We are only a few years apart. He’s very kind, it’s not about money.”

The statement comes as a surprise to many who have speculated about the dynamics of their relationship, particularly given the substantial age gap between the two and DiCaprio’s status as one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors. However, the girlfriend’s assertion that their bond transcends material wealth sheds new light on their romance.

Despite the attention their relationship has garnered in the media, the couple has managed to maintain a relatively low profile. They have been spotted together at various events and outings, fueling rumors about the nature of their connection. However, this rare insight from the girlfriend herself offers a glimpse into the genuine affection they share for each other.

The girlfriend’s emphasis on DiCaprio’s kindness as a defining factor in their relationship adds depth to their story. While DiCaprio’s fаme and fortune may be undeniable, it appears that his character and personality are what truly resonate with his partner. This revelation challenges the notion that their romance is solely based on superficial factors.

 

Moreover, the girlfriend’s assertion that their age difference is insignificant suggests a level of maturity and understanding in their relationship. Despite being at different stages in their lives, they seem to have found common ground and mutual respect for each other’s experiences.

In conclusion, the 19-year-old girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio has spoken out about their relationship, emphasizing that their bond is based on genuine affection and kindness rather than material wealth. Her candid statement challenges preconceived notions about their romance and highlights the importance of authenticity in matters of the heart.
