Demi Moore is not willing to let her ex husband on his own, especially during this challenging time in his life. Bruce Willis‘ health has increasingly declined as the days go by amid his fronto temporal dementia diagnosis. A recent report confirms that his ex wife decided to move in right next to his home with her entire family in order to help the love of her life.

Demi Moore reportedly moves next to Bruce Willis’ home

According to the biggest entertainment news outlets, it has been revealed that actress Demi Moore decided to move right next to Bruce Willis‘ home. They also claim that this occurred suddenly in rder to make the final moments of her ex husband on this earth as smooth as possible. They also report that Demi Moore decided to be next to her ex husband until teh very end of his life.

Any dementia diagnosisis impossible to cure, but the one Bruce Willis suffers is one of the most serious. Fronto temporal dementia attacks the frontal and temporal lobes in the human brain and the main consequence is that it attacks the patient’s language capabilities, their memory and it affects the personality as well.

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis were married from 1987 to 1998 until they announced their divorce. During that period of time, they had three daughters who are adults now. They never revealed the reason they split but they have still kept contact throughout the years. Now that Bruce is suffering from this illness, the few memories he does keep are those of his better days spent next to Demi Moore.

Garner says she loves spending time with Affleck’s family during the holidays, unlike Lopez who struggles with those close to her husband.

Following a report that Ben Affleck’s long-time friend Matt Damon isn’t supportive of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, it appears his ex-wife Jennifer Garner is also throwing shade at J.Lo.

Earlier this month, Radar Online released a report in which a source claimed that Damon has always struggled seeing Lopez and Affleck together, as he finds the singer too controlling.

“Matt’s had serious reservations about Bennifer 2.0 since the beginning,” the source said. “He’s tried to be publicly supportive for Ben’s sake, but the fact is he hates the way J Lo treats his buddy and can no longer hold his tongue.”

“It’s no secret Ben and J Lo haven’t been getting along, as he always seems to be in the doghouse. It’s obvious something needs to change, but when Matt started giving Ben advice, he totally blew up,” they continued.

“History is repeating itself because 20 years ago they stopped talking for the exact same reason,” the source added. “But Matt can’t keep quiet, even if it means alienating Ben.”

Ben and J.Lo first dated in the early 2000s, and were even supposed to get married before calling off the wedding days before in 2003, citing media pressure as the reason. They ended their relationship the following year, only to reconcile almost two decades later in 2021. They finally wed last year in several high profile ceremonies.

Garner Says She Loves Spending Time With Affleck’s Family, Unlike J.Lo

Recently, Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner – with whom he shares three children – recently opened up about how she was spending the holidays.

The actress’s emphasis on wanting to spend quality time with her family (including Affleck’s loved ones) have been perceived by some as a subtle dig towards Lopez, considering she’s been accused of not getting along with those close to Ben, like Matt Damon.

“I’ll have my whole family together – my sisters, my niece, my nephews, I love them all, my brothers-in-law, of course, my parents, and my kids. I can’t wait for it,” Garner told Entertainment Tonightsaying that she always “dives into the kitchen” for the holidays and “loves” time with family.

For now, neither Damon nor Garner have responded to allegations that they have an issue with Lopez. Similarly, J.Lo and Affleck have been silent on the speculation surrounding their marriage, including divorce rumors which keep on persisting.

The couple are set to release a new movie together. Affleck is working as a writer on Lopez’s This Is Me… Now: The Film, which will follow the making of her ninth studio album. Lopez and Affleck haven’t collaborated on a film together since meeting on the set of Gigli, released in 2003.

The superstar recently admitted to having hesitations about working with her husband again.

“As artists, we have to follow our heart and this is me following my heart and doing something that maybe everybody didn’t think was the best idea, but I had to do it,” Lopez told Varietydeclining to comment on any of the reports about their relationship.

Grace Kelly and Meghan Markle were both born in the United States and married foreign royals.

Grace Kelly was born on November 12, 1929, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to Biography, her father was a three-time Olympic gold medalist for rowing, while her mother was the first coach of women’s athletic teams at the University of Pennsylvania.

Meghan Markle was born on August 4, 1981, in Los Angeles, California. Her mother, Doria Ragland, was a clinical therapist and yoga instructor, while her father, Thomas Markle, worked in television as a light and photography director.

Meghan Markle and Grace Kelly were both famous actresses before becoming royalty.

Before becoming one of the most famous royals in the world, Grace Kelly had a highly successful career as an actress. She acted in her first film, “Fourteen Hours,” when she was just 22 years old. She got her big break in 1952 with the release of “High Noon,” which launched her career to new heights.

She went on to star in “Mogambo” opposite Clark Gable and Ava Gardner, during which time she was romantically linked to Gable. For her role as Linda Nordley, she was nominated for her first Academy Award and won a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actress. She later won the Academy Award for best actress in 1954 for “The Country Girl,” beating out Judy Garland in “A Star is Born.”

In 2002, Markle landed her first official TV acting credit as Nurse Jill, a small role in “General Hospital.” However, she is best known for her role as Rachel Zane on “Suits.” She appeared in episodes from 2011 to 2018.

Princess Grace met her husband, Prince Rainier, on a photo shoot, while Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend.

According to Harper’s Bazaar, Grace Kelly was invited to join the United States Delegation Committee at the Cannes Film Festival in 1955. While in France for the festival, she met Prince Rainier III of Monaco on the set of a photo shoot. A year later, they were married.

In July 2016, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were set up on a blind date at Soho House in New York City by a mutual friend.

In their first sit-down interview as a couple, Markle told the BBC in 2017 that she didn’t know much about the prince or the royal family before the date.

“Because I’m from the States, you don’t grow up with the same understanding of the royal family,” she said. “I didn’t know much about him, so the only thing that I had asked [our mutual friend] when she said that she wanted to set us up, was, ‘Well, is he nice?’ Cause if he wasn’t kind, it just didn’t seem like it would make sense.”

Princess Grace and Meghan Markle both gave up their acting careers after getting engaged.

Grace Kelly briefly continued acting after it was announced she was engaged to Prince Rainier in order to fulfill her contract with MGM. In her final film, “High Society,” Kelly even wore one of the two opulent engagement rings given to her by Prince Rainier.

As Insider previously reported, according to The List, J. Randy Taraborrelli wrote in his book, “Once Upon a Time: Behind the Fairy Tale of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier,” that Kelly planned to continue her acting career after her wedding. However, the prince later said he and his wife had decided she would give it up.

“It was widely believed that it was Prince Rainier who made his wife stop acting, as Kelly had no plans of retiring at the time of their engagement,” The List said.

On November 29, 2017, immediately following the engagement announcement, it was officially confirmed that Markle would be exiting “Suits” after seven seasons.

“From all of us at USA Network and Universal Cable Productions, we want to send our most heartfelt congratulations to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on their engagement,” USA Network said in a statement.

“Meghan has been a member of our family for seven years and it has been a joy to work with her. We want to thank her for her undeniable passion and dedication to ‘Suits,’ and we wish her the very best.”

Her storyline was wrapped up with her character, Rachel Zane, marrying Patrick J. Adams, who plays her love interest, Mike Ross, throughout the show’s seven seasons.

However, her decision to leave Hollywood was apparently not one made by the royal family — Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey his family suggested Markle should continue acting to earn money.

However, Princess Grace had to relinquish a majority of her Hollywood fortune to pay her royal dowry, something not required of Meghan Markle.

Before meeting Prince Rainier, Kelly was on track to become one of the most financially successful actresses in the world. However, after she was asked to pay a $2 million dowry, the equivalent of roughly $20 million today, using her own money and family wealth, she essentially had nothing left.

When she died at the age of 52, Princess Grace only had a net worth of $10,000 and the deed to her grandfather’s small cottage in Ireland in her own name.

Princess Grace’s and Meghan Markle’s marriages were both depicted in the press as fairy tale love stories.

Both Grace Kelly’s and Meghan’s Markle’s engagement and wedding days received massive public attention. Both royal weddings were broadcast live to audiences around the world and described as “modern fairy tales.”

Kelly’s wedding to Rainier was the first royal wedding to ever be transmitted live.

Prince Rainier was seeking a bride to produce an heir to the Monegasque throne, whereas Prince Harry knew he would likely never ascend to the throne.

Kelly maintained that she married for love.

“When I married Prince Rainier, I married the man and not what he represented or what he was. I fell in love with him without giving a thought to anything else,” Kelly once said.

Prince Harry, who was fifth in line to the throne when he married Meghan Markle, had no obligation to produce an heir to the British throne. Now sixth in line, it is extremely unlikely he or his children, Archie and Lilibet, will ever ascend to the throne.

Meghan Markle and Princess Grace both retained their US citizenship after marrying into royalty.

According to the Princess Grace Foundation, Grace Kelly was not required to renounce her American citizenship and became a dual citizen of the United States and Monaco after marrying Prince Rainier.

Meghan Markle also retained her American citizenship and even voted in the 2020 presidential election after she and Prince Harry moved to California.

Meghan Markle and Princess Grace both experienced culture shock after moving away from the United States.

While both Markle and Kelly experienced vastly different ways of life in London and Monaco, respectively, after becoming royalty, they both attempted to adjust to their new roles by immersing themselves in projects and causes they cared about.

“I never really liked Hollywood. I found it unreal — unreal and full of men and women whose lives were confused and full of pain,” Kelly once said.

Once a royal, she supported charities working for child welfare and established her own foundation to benefit local artists.

Meghan Markle appears to have had a harder time adjusting to her royal life and the expectations that came with it — in a March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, she said she was naive when she entered the marriage. Last year, the California native, Prince Harry, and their son, Archie, all relocated to Santa Barbara after stepping back from the royal family.

However, she too has focused on causes she cares about, formerly serving as a patron of charities in the UK, and launching her nonprofit foundation Archewell with Prince Harry.

After starting a relationship with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle faced negativity and racism in the press.

While there were negative reports about Kelly in the press during her time in Hollywood, Princess Grace was adored by both the people of Monaco and the Monegasque media.

However, Meghan Markle faced oftentimes unfair backlash and criticism from the British tabloids, practically from the moment she was romantically linked to Prince Harry. Her and Prince Harry’s treatment by the British press resulted in multiple lawsuits and a string of legal battles.

Meghan Markle also spoke out about the problems she faced within the royal family that led to her and Prince Harry relinquishing their royal duties and moving to California.

Renowned rock guitarist Jimmy Page, at the age of 79, recently made headlines by introducing his girlfriend, Scarlett Sabet, aged 34, to his 52-year-old daughter at a lavish dinner in Dubai. The occasion marked a significant milestone in their relationship, as Page’s daughter had the opportunity to meet Sabet, who holds a special place in her father’s life.

The luxury dinner in Dubai served as the perfect setting for the introduction, with Page and Sabet surrounded by opulence and elegance befitting their status as music and cultural icons. Against the backdrop of a glittering skyline, the trio came together to share a memorable evening of fine dining and heartfelt conversation.

For Page, introducing Sabet to his daughter was a momentous occasion, reflecting the depth of his feelings for his girlfriend and his desire for her to be a part of his extended family. As a father, Page undoubtedly valued his daughter’s approval and acceptance of his romantic partner, and the dinner provided an opportunity for them to bond and get to know each other better.

Similarly, for Sabet, meeting Page’s daughter represented an important step in their relationship, signaling her integration into Page’s family circle and the acknowledgment of their commitment to each other.

Meghan Markle is reportedly asking for an apology from the royal family before returning to the UK after allegedly turning down an invite for her and her kids next month.

However, sources claim that the royals will not likely apologize anytime soon. There’s been a shift in relations since King Charles III and Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis.

A Royal expert has revealed that Meghan wants an apology from the royal family before she makes her next visit to the UK. This comes after the Duchess of Sussex allegedly declined a rumored invitation to visit the country with their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilbet.

Meghan has maintained a strained relationship with senior members of the royal family since she and her husband stepped down from their roles as senior royals in 2020. She has heavily documented their various altercations and issues in projects in the years since, including an interview with Oprah and their “Harry & Meghan” docuseries on Netflix.

The news also comes after reports that Harry has been working on a possible reconciliation with his family when he travels to London soon. Royal experts have suggested that it’s unlikely that both sides of the royal family will reach a middle ground if Meghan doesn’t receive an apology.

Meghan Markle Needs To 'Mend Bridges' With The British Royal Family

Royal commentator, Charlotte Griffiths spoke to GB News about a possible apology coming from the royals.

She said, “I think that she is pushing for an apology. She’s been pushing for that for quite a long time, although there have been reports from the Sussex camp that she has sort of given up on an apology.”

Griffiths noted that she doesn’t think Meghan is “actually blocking” Harry from spending time with the rest of the royals.

She then mentioned his recent trip to Charles in the hospital after his surgery was announced and that he’s planning to visit again in May.

He noted that Harry wants a reconciliation between their families, especially as there’s been “a shift” in the royal family since Kate’s illness.

He also said, “Harry and Meghan do feel they need to extend an olive branch, but Meghan’s sense of grievance is still preventing anything really meaningful [from] happening. Illness often brings warring family members together. And there have been hopes at Kensington Palace that Kate’s illness might do it.”

A source told OK! Magazine that Meghan is apprehensive, which means Harry might take the trip solo.

The source explained that Harry isn’t happy about the development as he wants a stronger tie to the UK for the family, especially after King Charles and the Princess of Wales confirmed their cancer diagnosis.

However, the source said, “It’s now got to the point where Meghan doesn’t want to come to the UK with the children. She just doesn’t feel safe. The situation is now about whether the family should attend with increased security or Harry should go it alone.”

Another source noted, “He would prefer it if the entire family made regular visits to see his family and build bridges, but there is so much going on behind the scenes that it just isn’t possible at the moment.”

If Meghan ever visits the UK with Archie and Lilibet, she and Harry would have to make private arrangements for security. This is because the Sussexes were stripped of tax-payer-funded royal protection after they left for America. The Duke took this battle all the way to court and recently lost.

In a High Court ruling, Judge Peter Lane declared that RAVEC’s removal of Harry’s Royal security by changing his status after he stepped down was not unlawful.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are perhaps one of America’s favorite couples. They have been together for almost three decades now and share three children together.

Their eldest child just turned 27 years old, and they shared some pictures of the young man, and people have a lot of thoughts!

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are celebrating the 27th birthday of their firstborn child, Michael. To mark the occasion, the proud parents took a trip down memory lane and shared some heartfelt pictures of their son over the years.

The Live With Kelly and Mark hosts took to Instagram to post a cute video featuring images and videos of their firstborn. The caption read, “Happy 27th birthday to the founding member of our family @Michael.Consuelos you got the ball rolling, baby, and we love you!”

The video was set to Curtis Mayfield’s “Move On Up,” as images of Michael from the day he was born to now began to play. The video had a series of moments from his life with other important people like his parents and grandparents.

Michael’s younger siblings were also featured in the video in later pictures, both Lola, 22, and Joaquin, 21.

Ripa and Consuelos married in 1996. The couples’ friends, family, and fans all chimed in under the post to congratulate them on their son’s birthday.


“I love this. Happy Birthday Mikey!,” Andy Cohen commented.

“The sweetest,” Nia Long added.

Whenever either parent shares a picture of Michael, their fans comment about how Michael looks exactly like his father, Mark Consuelos. “Wow! Michael is the spitting image of younger Mark,” one person wrote.

“Beautiful OMG Michael is a spitting image of his Dad,” another person added.

“OMG your son and husband are identical twins,” a fan couldn’t believe!

Michael has also followed his parent’s path and has begun working in the entertainment industry. He acted in Riverdale alongside his dad and is a producer on several shows, including the Real Housewives franchise, Summer House, and Winter House.

Reports circulating within entertainment circles suggest that legendary rock guitarist Jimmy Page, aged 79, is making headlines once again, this time for his purported plans to expand his family. According to these reports, Page is allegedly intending to welcome a child with his 34-year-old girlfriend, poet Scarlett Sabet, in the year 202

Page’s relationship with Sabet, a respected poet and writer, has been the focus of media attention in recent years, with the couple frequently making public appearances together. Despite the significant age gap between them, Page and Sabet’s relationship has endured, prompting speculation about their future plans as a couple.

The prоspect of Page becoming a father at the age of 79 has ignited debate among fans and commentators, with opinions divided on the matter. While some applaud Page’s decision to pursue parenthood later in life and embrace the joys of fatherhood, others express concerns about the potential challenges and responsibilities associated with raising a child at an advanced age.

As Page and Sabet prepare for this new chapter in their lives, they do so amidst a backdrop of public scrutiny and speculation. While details surrounding their plans for parenthood remain shrouded in sеcrеcy, one thing is certain: the legendary guitarist’s purported decision to have a child with his partner marks a significant milestone in both his personal and professional journey.

As Page continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of music with his timeless contributions and groundbreaking achievements, his foray into parenthood serves as a reminder of the multifaceted nature of life’s journey. Whether he is destined to become a father at the age of 79 remаins to be seen, but one thing is certain: Page’s legendary status transcends the realm of music, encompassing the complexities and joys of the human experience.

Ben Affleck has reluctantly agreed to do damage control while he hashes out a divorce settlement with Jennifer Lopez, but he’s far from happy or comfortable about it. The actor is braced for a wretched summer as the pair’s blended family falls apart at the seams, a source exclusively tells In Touch.

“The last thing Ben wants to do is hurt Jen. He still loves and respects her,” the source explains. “And, of course, the family situation comes into this heavily, which is why he’s agreed to do this in a civilized and loving way, just like he did with Jennifer Garner.”

While In Touch first reported that Ben, 51, and Jennifer, 54, were “headed for a divorce” in May, the A-listers have yet to officially file to end their marriage. Before they take that next step, “they’re going to get all their ducks in a row,” the insider says, noting that this “seems to be the standard practice in Hollywood these days” so that there’s “no messy court battle.”

“Ben is far from comfortable right now,” the source adds. “Besides being busy with a lot of his own work, he’s got J. Lo’s mood swings to cope with, phones ringing off the hook, and the press hounding him 24/7. Plus, a lot of people in J. Lo’s world and the public are treating him like the bad guy.”

Amid their marital issues, Ben and Jen are putting their kids first. He shares three children with ex Jen Garner, 52, while she has teenage twins with ex Marc Anthony. “The biggest weight on Ben’s shoulders right now is the kids and managing this situation as best he can for their sake,” the insider reveals. “It’s going to be a very tough adjustment, so his priority is being sensitive to that and making this as smooth for them as he possibly can.”

Although the Oscar winner and his wife, who tied the knot in July 2022, are not currently living together, they have been spotted together in public several times in recent weeks while attending events for the children. “[The kids] are being very mature and Ben’s proud of how they’re handling it,” the source adds. “But he’s also very aware that it’s a big change and not something he wants to rush through.”

Still, he’s “not backing down” and is “100 percent committed” to going through with the divorce. “It’s just a question of timing,” the insider concludes. “He’s telling friends that he’s looking forward to the next chapter. He wants a life of serenity and peace. Escaping this roller coaster will be a relief.”

Ron Howard has been famous for almost all of his 70 years. He’s had a nonstop career in film and television, starting as a toddler.

Besides his impressive career, Ron has also had a long-lasting marriage. He has been married to his wife Cheryl for almost 50 years.

Keep reading to learn more about Ron Howard, his long career, and his long marriage!

Ronald Howard was born on March 1, 1954, in Duncan, Oklahoma. He would grow up to become a Hollywood legend.

Howard started acting when he was only 18 months old, appearing in his first film, Frontier Woman. By the time he was two, he was on stage in The Seven Year Itch.

 

After his early start in the entertainment world, Ron Howard became known for his role as Opie on The Andy Griffith Show from 1960 to 1968.

During this time, playing the son of Griffith’s character, Howard had the support of his parents, who were also in the entertainment business.

Ron remembers a conversation he had with his parents when he was younger. They said, “Remember how we always said, ‘You can do it if you want, but you don’t have to?’ Well if you start this, you can’t quit. You don’t have to do other parts on other shows if you don’t want, but you’d have to keep doing this one.”

 

Ron Howard understood the message his parents gave him. He says, “I think it was pretty clear at that point that I was enjoying it, and I was good at it.”

In fact, he was really good at it, and he was about to become a big star.

While he was on The Andy Griffith Show, Howard also acted in a movie called The Music Man in 1962. It was a musical and it did really well.

He was a natural talent. Then, in 1973, he starred in American Graffiti. It also had actors like Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfuss, and Cindy Williams, who he would work with again in the future.

 

In 1974, Ron Howard got a big role as Richie Cunningham in a new show called Happy Days, created by Garry Marshall. The show was on TV from 1974 to 1984 and was watched by people all over the world.

Happy Days was so popular that it led to other shows, like Laverne & Shirley, which starred Cindy Williams and Garry Marshall’s sister Penny, and Mork & Mindy, with Robin Williams as the funny character Mork from Ork.

Before he won a Golden Globe for his role as the innocent teenager on Happy Days, Ron Howard met his high school sweetheart, Cheryl Alley, in 1970. They got married in 1975.

 

“I met her, and there was never anybody else,” Speaking with People, the director of the Da Vinci Code continued, “She’s unbelievably supportive and always has been. Our compatibility has endured through all kinds of experiences.”

After 50 years of shared experiences, Howard, who earned an Oscar for directing A Beautiful Mind, commemorated the 50th anniversary of his first date with Cheryl on Instagram.

 

On November 1, 1970, Ron Howard and Cheryl went on their first date. Ron shared a photo of himself wearing socks with Cheryl’s face on them. He wrote, “We went to see a movie called It’s a Mad Mad Mad World and then got pizza at a place called Barnone’s in Toluca Lake. Quite a start, right?”

He also said they planned to drive the same 1970 VW Bug they drove on their first date. It still runs great, just like their relationship.

Cheryl appeared in some of Ron’s projects and even played herself on a TV show called Arrested Development, which Ron produced and narrated.

Ron calls Cheryl his “good luck charm.” That’s why she appears in every movie he makes. He told the Television Academy this in an interview.

 

“I got really superstitious about making sure she appears, at least a little bit, in every movie,” Ron said. “It doesn’t have to be a big part, but she’s gotta be in there.”

Besides bringing him luck, Cheryl is also a writer. She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in screenwriting.

The couple has four children: daughter Bryce, twins Paige and Jocelyn, and son Reed. They’re also grandparents to six children.

Bryce, a well-known actor, has been in movies like Jurassic World and The Help. Paige started her movie career in Adventureland in 2009. She’s also been in movies like The Employer and Collection.

Reed is a professional golfer. Jocelyn, Paige’s twin sister, keeps her life private.

Ron and Cheryl are about to celebrate their 49th anniversary on June 7th. Ron, who has won an Emmy Award, says that “communication” is the secret to their lasting love.
