In December 2020, there were pictures of her wearing an emerald ring. The ring looked like an engagement ring on her ring finger. The ring fueled engagement rumors. Pictures of her wearing it surfaced again in March 2021.

Pat Sajak is about to have a lot more time to spend with his family. After over 40 years as the host of “Wheel of Fortune,” he is retiring, with his final episode airing on June 7. In a video shared with Good Morning America ahead of his farewell episode, Sajak expressed his excitement for the future, which includes spending quality time with his wife and kids.

Sajak and Brown welcomed their first child, a son named Patrick Michael Sajak, in 1990. Patrick prefers to stay out of the spotlight but did make an appearance on “Wheel of Fortune” with his sister Maggie when he was just 10 years old. During their 2000 appearance, Patrick and Maggie pretended to be their father and his co-host, Vanna White, as they closed out the show. Patrick recalled his father’s advice: “He did say one thing, don’t be funnier than he is.”

In a 2021 episode of the show, Sajak proudly shared that his son had graduated from medical school. “Do you mind if I do a little parental bragging here?” he said to White. “So you know my son, Patrick, you’ve known him all his life. Well, he’s made it through medical school, and he is now officially Dr. Sajak, and we’re all thrilled about that.” He added jokingly: “The only troubling part is he insists that I call him Dr. Sajak.”

The proud dad continued: “Lesly and I couldn’t be prouder. I even tried to persuade him to go into geriatrics, but he refused—that’s a personal thing. Anyway, congratulations, son.” Maggie also celebrated her brother’s achievement by sharing a photo of him on Instagram with the caption: “My big brother officially became a doctor today, and I am the MOST proud.

Maggie Marie Sajak, the couple’s daughter, was born in 1995, a few years after Patrick. Maggie made her debut on “Wheel of Fortune” when she was just a year old and is now heavily involved in the show as an adult. In 2020, she filled in as a letter-turner for White, and since 2021, she has served as the series’ social correspondent. “The Wheel of Fortune staff and crew have always been like an extended family,” Maggie said about her role on the show. “I’m thrilled to be working with them. It’s a real privilege to give the show’s longtime viewers a look at what goes on when the cameras aren’t rolling. Plus, I get to use the carpool lane with my father!”

Maggie earned her undergraduate degree from Princeton University and completed a postgraduate program at Columbia University. In May 2023, she graduated from Georgetown University Law School. “Let the lawyer jokes begin… she wrote on Instagram alongside photos of herself in her cap and gown. Maggie is also a budding country singer, having released her first single, “First Kiss,” in 2011, followed by “Wild Boy” in 2013.

Shortly after her dad announced his retirement on social media in June 2023, Maggie shared her own post: “It’s so much fun working with my dad…and we’re looking forward to even more fun in Season 41” she wrote on her Instagram Story.

Before Ryan Seacrest was announced as Sajak’s replacement, it was rumored that Pat was advocating for Maggie to become the new host. “Pat is ready to leave the show, but not until his replacement is secured, and he has been lobbying hard for his daughter, Maggie, to succeed him,” sources told Radar Online. “Pat has nothing left to prove but he is determined to make sure Maggie gets a chance to prove herself.”

Ahead of his final episode, Sajak told his daughter that he was looking forward to spending more time with her and her brother. “I’m perfectly happy if it just means that I’ll continue with my crossword puzzles and play with grandchildren. Hint hint hint. No pressure,” he joked.

Louisa Jacobson, daughter of the legendary actress Meryl Streep, has publicly come out as queer, sharing the joyous news on Instagram alongside her partner, much to the delight of netizens and social media personalities.

The 33-year-old star of “The Gilded Age” posted photos with her partner, Anna Blundell, on June 22, coinciding with her mother’s birthday and the celebrations of Pride Month.

Jacobson expressed her happiness in her post, writing, “blessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb.” Her caption referenced a recent New York Times article titled “We’re Entering a Joyful New Era of Lesbian Fashion.”

Support for Jacobson’s announcement poured in across social media. Blogger Sky Maddas praised her timing, saying, “COMING OUT AT YOUR MOM’S BIRTHDAY IS SO ICONIC [sic].”

Socialite Derek Blasberg joined in with a cheerful, “Happy pride.” Fans added encouraging comments like “omg so happy for you! [sic]” and “We’ll support you in every era kiddo [sic]!”

Earlier in June, Jacobson hinted at her relationship by sharing a carousel of ten photos on Instagram, showcasing her affectionate bond with Blundell. One image captured the couple posing for an elevator mirror selfie, both in matching black outfits.

Another photo showed Blundell, wearing an “ITALIA” cap, kissing Jacobson’s cheek, who looked casual and happy in orange-tinted sunglasses and a grey denim jacket.

One more snapshot depicted the couple holding hands while walking down the street, both dressed in matching denim and black long-sleeve outfits.

In the final photo, Blundell and Jacobson stood in a living room, each holding a drink and looking toward a table outside, where a child sat alone. Jacobson captioned her post, “Cute spring things.”

Despite her public coming out, Jacobson has kept her romantic life relatively private. While she has posted photos with Blundell, Blundell has only shared about their relationship once on Instagram.

On December 15, 2023, Blundell, a producer, posted a similar photo captioned “Annual update,” featuring herself looking away while Jacobson smiled at the camera under a red light.

Jacobson’s new relationship mirrors her mother’s romantic life. After separating from her longtime husband, Streep reportedly sparked romance rumors with one of her “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars last March, following their appearance at the Golden Globes.

Before these rumors, Streep had been married to Don Gummer for 45 years. They wed in September 1978 after knowing each other for less than a year. Streep and Gummer met through her brother, Harry.

Now, the Oscar-winning actress and Gummer are separated. A spokesperson for Streep revealed in 2023 that the couple had been separated for more than six years. Before this announcement, they were last seen together at the 2018 Oscars.

The spokesperson emphasized that while Streep and Gummer will always “care for each other, they have chosen lives apart.”

Following their split, there is speculation that Streep has moved on with her co-star in “Only Murders in the Building,” Martin Short. Rumors of their romantic involvement began when they were seen together at the 81st Annual Golden Globes.

At the event, Streep and Short were seated with Selena Gomez, their co-star in “Only Murders in the Building.” The trio’s nominations for their roles added to Streep’s record as the most-nominated actor in Golden Globes history.

Seeing the chemistry between Streep and Short at the Golden Globes, fans took to social media to comment on the possibility of them being a couple. One fan commented on their excitement, “Sitting with the knowledge that Meryl Streep and Martin Short might be in love but I have no proof [sic].”

Fans agreed that if Streep and Short were dating, they’d be iconic. “If Martin Short and Meryl Streep are dating that’s the biggest power couple going,” one fan pointed out. Another added, “Martin Short and Meryl Streep — be the power couple of 2024 we all need if you aren’t already.”

Like Streep, Short was also in a long-term marriage. He married his wife, Nancy Dolman, in 1980, and they were together until her passing in 2010.

Dolman died of natural causes after a 911 call from Short’s Los Angeles home. The couple had been married for 30 years and had three children: Oliver Patrick, Henry, and Katherine Elizabeth Short.

Reports indicated that Dolman had been battling ovarian cancer since 2007. In 2019, Short reflected on his marriage and losing his wife, calling their marriage “a triumph.” He expressed that he still communicates with her, seeking her input on decisions, especially concerning their children. He believed that those who pass away continue to influence their loved ones.

Short explained, “This idea that it just ends, and don’t speak of them — that’s wrong. That’s based on denial that we’re all going to die. So to me, she’s still here.” Losing his wife also led him to embrace risk-taking.

The Canadian-born actor doesn’t believe in bucket lists, focusing instead on daily happiness. He keeps a list of categories like health and career, periodically giving himself a report card to identify areas for improvement.

Short reminisced about a childhood question: “What is the most important thing in life?” His response was simple yet profound: “To be happy.” For Short, part of that happiness comes from being helpful to the people he loves. “That’s what takes you from day to day,” he added.

Now, fans speculate whether Streep is one of the people Short loves. Rumors of a romance between them intensified after they were seen together at the 2024 AFI Luncheon.

Moreover, Streep and Short’s characters in “Only Murders in the Building” fell in love during the third season of the Hulu comedy. Fans have noted their great on-screen chemistry. “Only Murders in the Building” is a collaborative creation by Steve Martin and John Hoffman.

Hoffman shared that Streep expressed gratitude to him for crafting the romantic storyline involving her and Short’s characters in the series, noting their incredible on-screen connection. In season three, episode five, Streep and Short’s characters share a date on a ferry overlooking New York City.

Hoffman recalled Streep’s fondness for the ferry location, ranking it among her top two favorite filming sites. “It was the most magical night of shooting, and they were completely beyond wonderful together,” Hoffman remarked about the scene and the chemistry between Streep and Short.

Besides their on-screen chemistry, Streep and Short have been enjoying their time together off-screen. On February 21, 2023, the pair had dinner with friends at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.

For the outing, Streep wore black pants paired with a hot pink button-down and a red jacket. Short donned a gray sweater and a black blazer.

An insider shared details about the dinner. “They were really enjoying their meal and having a blast the whole time,” the source said of Short and Streep, adding that there was “lots of laughing” and that the group “couldn’t have been having a better time.”

Despite their close bond, Short has denied any romantic involvement with Streep. In an interview in January 2024, Short addressed the idea of them being a power couple, saying, “We are not a couple, we are just very good friends.”

From Jacobson’s new relationship with Blundell to Streep’s close friendship with Short, both mother and daughter are embracing new chapters filled with love and support.

Morgan Eastwood said “I do” amidst a breathtaking scene – her father, Clint Eastwood’s meticulously restored ranch. This wasn’t just a wedding, it was a celebration of love intertwined with family history.

Morgan Eastwood, daughter of Clint Eastwood, has officially tied the knot with her beloved. The youngest of Clint’s children radiated beauty in a flowing white gown that elegantly displayed her baby bump.

She exchanged vows with her groom, who looked dashing in a classic black tuxedo paired with a crisp white shirt. The joyous occasion was shared with fans through several heartwarming snapshots on social media.

One captured the newlyweds locked in a passionate kiss, while another featured the couple posing with their bulldog, dressed up for the festivities. Morgan also posed gracefully with her baby bump visible under her veil, capturing the serene moment.

In a touching display of familial love, Clint was photographed tenderly placing his hand on his daughter’s baby bump, adding a poignant touch to the celebration.

The couple further commemorated their union with a joyous cake-cutting ceremony, marking the beginning of their journey together. Fans flooded the comments section to shower Morgan with congratulations on this momentous occasion.

“Unreal!!! The most perfect day for the most perfect couple ❤️,” exclaimed one fan. Another admirer was moved by Clint’s touching gesture, commenting, “Omg the pic of Clint holding her bump… so cute 😭🥹🖤” A supportive follower expressed their pride with a heartfelt message, “The most gorgeous bride, cheers to you both! ”

Morgan’s half-sister, Francesca Eastwood, also joined in the celebration on Instagram. She shared photos from the ceremony and penned a sweet caption, “My little sister married her best friend .”

Morgan’s mom shared a short montage giving people a glimpse into the wedding. Alongside the post, she expressed her gratitude for experiencing her daughter and son-in-law’s wedding surrounded by ninety percent of the most significant people in her life.

She reflected on the joy of the occasion. She humorously mentioned how quickly she gets exhausted and wishes she could still “tie one on!” She thanked those who encouraged her to embrace and enjoy every moment of the day, acknowledging that their advice was effective.

Morgan, who is currently expecting, is Clint’s youngest child. While Clint spent most of his life building his career, he always made time for his children whenever he could.

The veteran actor emphasized that, despite his busy schedule, his daughter takes precedence over everything. Although his dedication to fatherhood is evident now, Clint admits that his focus on parenting hasn’t always been as strong.

But when it came to her daughter’s special day, he had to give her the best. Morgan’s beautiful wedding ceremony was held at her father’s ranch, where Clint lives with his girlfriend, Christina Sandera. The ranch, built in the early 1850s, was almost falling apart when Clint purchased it.

The veteran actor has since done numerous renovations, transforming it into a luxurious retreat with thirty-one guest rooms, a renovated restaurant and bar, and some of the most scenic views in California. The property also boasts a workout room and a tennis court, offering guests a blend of rustic charm and modern amenities.

Clint’s connection to the ranch goes way back to when he was 21 and a recruit at the nearby Fort Ord. Seeking a quick, cheap meal and a soda, he stumbled upon the ranch, which was then a lowkey restaurant and hotel, formerly a dairy farm and the Fort Ord officers’ club.

He immediately fell in love with the place. “The first time I saw the place, I thought it was terrific. Visually, it was something else, and I thought it was the place I’d like to call home. So I kind of adopted Carmel,” Clint recalled.

He worked hard and after finding success in Hollywood, Clint returned, bought the ranch, and began extensive renovations, turning it into a home and a haven for those looking to escape their busy lives.

The ranch also holds a special place in Clint’s heart, as it was where he directed his first movie. In the 1980s, when the property was about to be torn down for another condominium development, Clint swooped in and, after spending $5 million, saved it.

“I had always loved the place, and they were just going to flatten it. They said it was obsolete. I thought it should be preserved as what it was,” he shared.

As one drives into the property, the beautifully restored buildings come into view. The ranch is surrounded by tended flowers, cypresses, and eucalyptus trees. The restaurant is a lively, bustling place with an active bar. Plus a night in one of the guest houses reveals stunning views of the Carmel River and a sandy beach.

The ranch also features lush wetlands, a beautiful sea view and the rocky Monterey coastline, with assorted farm animals, including goats, sheep, and horses.

In addition to the ranch’s personal significance, Clint’s involvement in Carmel extended to his role as the town’s mayor in the 1980s. After the city council denied him permission to renovate another property, Clint took them to court and won.

Realizing that many other residents faced similar issues, he ran for mayor the following year and won by a landslide. His tenure as mayor further solidified his commitment to preserving the town’s unique charm and natural beauty.

The ranch, with its rich history and stunning scenery, was the perfect backdrop for Morgan’s wedding. It symbolized the union of two people and the enduring legacy of Clint’s dedication to family and community.

The photos Morgan shared on Instagram captured the essence of the day. A beautiful bride glowing with expectancy, a proud father, and a celebration steeped in love and tradition.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll have heard all about the ongoing marital troubles experienced by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

The pair delighted fans the world over after reuniting near-on 20 years after their first engagement broke down, then going on to finally tie the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony two years ago.

Back in 2022, it seemed as though the pair had done the necessary growing and soul-searching in their years apart to make it work. Both had been married to other people, both had children, both seemed to be over the moon to get a second shot with one another.

Fast forward to present, though, and the picture doesn’t look half so rosy. In recent weeks it’s been widely reported that Affleck and Lopez’s union is languishing in choppy waters, and though neither has delivered anything that can be interpreted as an official statement, there have been signs that things are some way from harmonious.

Not only has Affleck reportedly moved out of the couple’s shared $60 million Beverly Hills home, but he’s also been spotted without his wedding ring on more than one occasion.

Lopez, meanwhile, has made numerous public appearances in recent weeks without her husband by her side, and one plucky reporter even quizzed her on the state of her marriage, to which she coyly replied: “You know better than that.”

Only yesterday was it reported by Radar Online that Gone Girl star Affleck had “struggled with loneliness” since moving out of their home “and realized how much he misses Jen.”

Yet today it’s a different tune being sung by the outlet. They cite a source who spoke to InTouch Weekly and revealed that Ben “feels like such a fool” with things on the verge of falling apart.

“They reunited 20 years after they first broke up, only to see everything fall apart again,” the source, a friend of the couple, allegedly told InTouch Weekly.

Of the friction between the pair, the insider continued: “She can’t control him and he can’t change her.”

As already mentioned, the couple stunned fans when they began dating again in 2021, some 17 years after having called off their engagement. Just a year later they tied the knot, but that now looks to have perhaps been a decision made in haste.

“All this time, Ben’s friends and family have been asking him what he was thinking — and he doesn’t have a good answer. It’s like he was under a spell,” the InTouch Weekly source went on. “He made a huge mistake and feels like such a fool.”

The same mole also claimed that J-Lo was devastated by the break down of their romance. Even worse, she’s desperate to save face regarding a potential fourth failed marriage.

“She’s desperate to save the relationship, not just because she still loves him, but she also wants to save face, from having a fourth failed marriage,” the source explained. “Their final days and nights together were excruciatingly difficult. She begged Ben for a second chance, but he said no.”

Despite being teased by her friends for her strong religious beliefs, Nicole Kidman regularly attends church with her famous husband and two of her children.

The “Bombshell” star, Nicole Kidman, is the proud mother of four children. Her two eldest, Connor and Bella, were born during her relationship with actor Tom Cruise, while her two youngest, Faith and Sunday, became part of the family after she married country music star Keith Urban.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Kidman admitted to instilling her faith in her youngest kids, and they frequently go to church, despite the teasing from friends. Her personal life has always been intertwined with religion, encompassing not only Catholicism but other spiritual beliefs as well.

Over the years, Kidman has graced the screen in a multitude of successful films and TV shows, including “The Hours,” “Rabbit Hole,” “Big Little Lies,” and “Nine Perfect Strangers.” Her remarkable career has inevitably drawn attention to her personal life, and her first marriage was no exception.

The fortunate partner was actor Tom Cruise, renowned for his role in “Mission: Impossible” and one of the most prominent followers of the Church of Scientology. The former couple first crossed paths in 1989 on the set of “Days of Thunder” and immediately hit it off.

They exchanged vows in 1990, a mere year after their initial meeting, and were eager to start a family promptly. Kidman became pregnant shortly after their wedding but tragically experienced an ectopic pregnancy, resulting in the heartbreaking loss of their child.

The painful experience of a miscarriage significantly impacted the lives of Kidman and Cruise. Desiring to have children, they chose to adopt a daughter, Isabella, and a son, Connor, born in December 1992 and January 1995, respectively.

Both children became part of Cruise and Kidman’s family through the Church of Scientology, growing up with Scientology influences. In 2001, Kidman experienced another pregnancy but suffered a miscarriage. Shortly after, Cruise filed for divorce.

Following the divorce, Isabella and Connor remained with Cruise and continued their affiliation with Scientology. Kidman was reportedly labeled a Suppressive Person by the Church, marking her as an enemy hindering the progress of Scientologists or the Scientology movement.

This categorization allegedly strained Kidman’s relationship with her children, and they reportedly don’t have frequent contact. However, both the Church, Kidman, and her children have emphasized that religion was not the primary factor. In 2014, Connor expressed his love for Kidman, describing their relationship as “solid.”

Kidman acknowledged that her children are now adults capable of making their own decisions and emphasized her respect for their beliefs by keeping their lives private. Regarding Isabella, Kidman mentioned that she lives outside London because she has always felt a connection to England. While Kidman missed Isabella’s 2015 wedding to IT consultant Max Parker, they reconnected during the coronavirus pandemic.

In 2022, Connor resided in Clearwater, Florida. Not only involved in the upper ranks of Scientology, but he also managed a BBQ restaurant named Connor’s Meat Shack. Additionally, he pursued his passion for deep-sea fishing and reportedly tied the knot with fellow Scientologist Silvia Zanchi in 2019.

As for Bella, she worked as an auditor in the UK branch of the Church of Scientology. Expressing gratitude on social media, she thanked her father for helping her achieve this significant accomplishment.

Despite the challenges in her relationship with her adopted children, Kidman has found a more positive family dynamic with her new family. After marrying country music star Keith Urban in June 2006, they welcomed their daughter Sunday in 2008. The couple’s second daughter, Faith, joined the family in 2010 through gestational surrogacy. While Kidman and Urban typically keep their daughters out of the public eye, occasional glimpses are shared on social media.

In 2021, Urban posted a photo of his wife and daughters with their backs to the camera, facing a lowered American flag in observance of Memorial Day.

Kidman acknowledged that her daughters are “global children,” having friends worldwide due to their experiences living in different countries. Despite their occasional complaints about frequent moves, she emphasized the importance of keeping the family together.

Kidman has a deep love for motherhood, and she expressed regret for not having more children. Despite her initial desire for ten kids, fertility issues limited her to four. Nevertheless, she actively embraces the role of motherhood in various aspects, including caring for her nieces, nephew, and 12 godchildren.

While being associated with the Church of Scientology during her relationship with Cruise, Kidman grew up in an Irish Catholic family. Influenced by her grandmother’s strong Catholic background, she was raised in a religious environment, and she rarely takes off the diamond-studded crucifix her grandmother gave her. Kidman has described herself as a spiritual person who firmly believes in God, even expressing an early desire to become a nun. However, her path led her to become one of Hollywood’s most successful actresses.

Kidman openly discusses her religious beliefs, despite friends occasionally teasing her. She and Urban, who has his own beliefs, frequently attend church with their daughters, reflecting the values they aim to instill in their family.

In a 2021 interview with Jimmy Fallon, Kidman shared a significant moment in her relationship with Urban. On her birthday, he surprised her with flowers, a gesture that made her realize he was the one. Despite knowing each other for just six months at that point, they have now been happily married for 16 years, showcasing a beautiful and enduring partnership.
