Playboy, known for its features and displays of beautiful famous women, gave the French blonde beauty a top spot as one of the sexiest female stars of the 20th century. Other media outlets even deem her as the number one “It” girl of all time.

Concerning her alluring beauty, Brigitte is also typically known for her famous pouty lips, and regarding Playboy’s sexiest female star list, she came in at number four. Her sultry confidence and sensual charisma also saw her be labeled as her home country’s most gazed-upon star.

Apart from the success she garnered during her time as an actress and all-round entertainer, Brigitte has also built a reputation as an avid animal rights activist. As far as her personal life is concerned, the beloved star, commonly referred to by her nickname BB, is a mother of one and has been married to her husband, Bernard d’Ormale, for 31 years.

According to media outlets, the couple tied the knot in secret in August of 1992, with only a few friends joining them for their special day. The two have remained blissfully married since then, and when they first wed, Brigitte’s friends told a news outlet that the “Contempt” star was happier than she had been in a while thanks to her sudden and secret marriage with Bernard.

Interestingly, before the two wed, Brigitte’s friends had expressed doubt that she would remarry after her last husband. Nonetheless, the two wed in a quaint little wooden church in Norway and lived together in Brigitte’s luxury 10-bedroom mansion in Saint-Tropez.

From the time they first met, Bernard has remained by Brigitte’s side, especially throughout her health scares. When French newspapers first reported that their beloved celebrity had allegedly overdosed on sedatives in 1992 while at home, Brigitte’s knight in shining armor quickly reassured the very worried public and explained:

“Brigitte was overcome with fatigue and took too much medication to go to sleep…she did not have her stomach pumped and was fine after a few hours.”

A spokesperson for the clinic where Brigitte was taken, further confirmed Bernard’s assertion that his wife was fine. However, years after her sedative scare, Brigitte faced another health battle.

Earlier this year, Bernard confirmed that Brigitte experienced difficulty breathing. Luckily, first responders quickly intervened, provided her oxygen, and stayed with her for a while to ensure she was okay.

Bernard explained that the cause of his wife’s respiratory problems was age and weather-related, citing an extreme heatwave circulating Europe at that time. Apparently, the air conditioning system in their La Madrague home was not functioning optimally.

Despite assuring the public of Brigitte’s wellbeing, a news outlet had alleged that she had stayed in the ICU. However, the “A Very Private Affair” talent set the record straight via a handwritten note:

“I want to reassure everyone. I am doing very well. The press caused a scandal with an illness that happened to me…”

Brigitte Bardot Was Recently Seen Out For the First Time In Years On Her 89th Birthday

Recently, the revered icon, who had respiratory problems earlier this year, was spotted out in a rare appearance. On her 89th birthday, paparazzi captured pictures of Brigitte enjoying a drive in the South of France.

The starlet was seen driving in a mini white van from her La Madrague villa to her abode in La Garigue. Her legendary blonde hair was tied back, only allowing a few loose wisps to frame her face. She also had on big sunglasses shielding her eyes from the sun.

Brigitte’s rare outing comes many years after she was last seen in public and a few months after emergency services showed up at her home to assist her with her breathing difficulties

Lisa Marie Presley — the only child of the late legendary singer Elvis Presley and his ex-wife, actress and businesswoman Priscilla Ann Presley — was a singer and songwriter. She was born into fame and fortune; her journey wasn’t a walk in the park. She experienced her share of troubles, including a highly publicized divorce and a bitter custody battle that lasted almost five years.

The singer had four children from two different marriages. Her youngest are fraternal twins Harper and Finley, whom she loved dearly. The twins, who recently celebrated their 15th birthday, have gone through a lot of changes and challenges in their lives, especially after their parents’ divorce and the subsequent death of their mother.

The Twins’ Arrival and Growing Up in the Spotlight

Harper and Finley were born via cesarean section on October 7, 2008, to Lisa Marie and her husband, Michael Lockwood, a guitarist and producer. At the time of their birth, Lisa Marie, who was 40 years old, had two teenage children from her first marriage to Danny Keough: a daughter named Riley and a son named Benjamin.

The twins were born with a flair for showbiz running in their veins, which is no surprise considering their mother and grandfather’s musical talent and charisma, not to mention their father, Lockwood, is also in the entertainment industry.

The girls didn’t want to be just spectators when they tagged along to shows. Their mother revealed they wanted a piece of the action, and they’d be itching to grab a mic and hit the dance floor. She added:

“At home, they act out scenes and have everybody sit down and watch them. They’re entertaining as hell.”

The entertainment gene is not the only thing Harper and Finley inherited. Glamor is part of the family package, too. One time, when preparing to go on tour, Lisa Marie shared that she had another mission to carry out, courtesy of her twins. They had turned her into a princess dress detective, scouring the cities and towns she toured for dresses befitting her little fashionistas’ style.

The Parents’ Divorce and Custody Battle

The twins’ happy childhood was disrupted by their parents’ divorce, which Lisa Marie filed in June 2016 after ten years of marriage. The divorce was messy and bitter, with allegations of financial mismanagement by Lockwood, who was in charge of his wife’s assets. At the time, her lawyer stated:

“They’re not trying to work it out and get back together. She’s done.”

Lisa Marie claimed that Lockwood was not a good father and that he had inappropriate photos of children on his computer. On these grounds, Lisa filed for full custody of the twins. Lockwood denied the accusations and accused her of ruining his reputation.

In retaliation, he filed for custody and spousal support. Amid this heated battle, rumors and speculations started going around that the girls had been placed in foster care. But in February 2017, Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla, cleared the air in a Facebook post.

She stated that her granddaughters were staying with her and had never been in foster care, nor would they ever be. She also clarified that they would be with her until the end of the custody battle. She reported that efforts were underway to handle matters with dignity and care, mainly keeping the well-being of the children in mind.

The twins also faced the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected their schooling and social life. However, they found a way to cope and help others by fostering puppies from a local animal shelter. Lisa Marie posted a photo of them holding an adorable dog and wrote, “We’ve been fostering pups from a shelter. Exhausting but so rewarding.”

After the protracted custody battle, Lisa Marie and Lockwood’s divorce proceedings concluded in May 2021, and the former spouses maintained joint custody of their twin daughters.

Lisa Marie’s Untimely Death

The twins suffered a devastating loss in January 2023 when their mother, Lisa Marie, died at 54. The cause of death was complications from a bariatric weight-loss surgery, which she had undergone several years earlier.

The autopsy report indicated that the cause of death was attributed to the effects of bowel obstruction, a common complication associated with weight loss procedures like bariatric surgery.

She had been rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after a 911 call reported a woman in cardiac arrest at her home. The report noted that she had complained of stomach pain earlier that day. She was laid to rest on January 22 in a funeral held at Graceland, the cherished home of her childhood that has since become a museum and pilgrimage site for Elvis enthusiasts.

Lisa Marie’s untimely demise left a void in the lives of her loved ones, including her three surviving children — her eldest daughter Riley and the twins Harper and Finley. Tragically, her son, Benjamin, had passed away in 2020. Her death was a big blow to the twins, who were only 14 at the time of her passing.

In response to the sudden and tragic passing of his ex-wife, Lockwood paid tribute to her in a statement in which he expressed profound grief, emphasizing the incomprehensibility of such an unexpected tragedy.

He said, “We are all reeling from the sudden passing of Lisa Marie Presley, the mother of my two beautiful twin daughters, Harper and Finley.” He acknowledged the paramount importance of caring for their twin daughters as they navigated their loss, highlighting their incredible spirit and their capacity to carry on the legacy of their family.

Living with Their Father After Long Custody Battle

After Lisa Marie’s death, the court transferred the custody of the twins to their father. The court ruled that Lockwood was the more suitable guardian as he was deemed “ready, able, and willing to protect their interests.” This decision raised internal concerns among insiders, speculating whether this aligned with their late mother’s wishes.

According to their father’s lawyer, Lockwood had a legal obligation and a moral commitment to safeguard the twins’ interests, emphasizing his positive and familial relationship with all parties involved.

The twins are now with their father and are attending high school. Priscilla posted a photo of them in June and wrote, “Happy Graduation girls! You’re now in high school!”

The Twins Are 15 and Close to Riley

The twins recently celebrated their 15th birthday, a milestone for them and their family. On October 8, a day after their birthday, Lockwood posted a picture with gifts and birthday decorations and wrote, “#fifteenyears it goes by in a blink of an eye 👁️ Mega amounts of love abound. 🙏🏼 Many Thanks to everyone who sent.”

Based on posts and photos on social media, the twins seem to be close to their older sister, Riley. The twins have grown into stunning young ladies who, according to fans, have strong Presley genes and bear a striking resemblance to their mother and grandfather, and one of them has blonde hair.

The twins have overcome many hardships and changes in their lives but have also experienced much love and joy. They have a bright future ahead of them, and they have the support of their father, sister, grandmother, and fans. They are the living legacy of their mother, Lisa Marie.

Jon Bon Jovi is a dedicated family man who has worked hard at keeping his family far away from his life as a celebrity. Jon, a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, is married to Dorothea Bongiovi, his high school sweetheart.

The couple have four kids together: Jesse, 28, Romeo Jon, 19, Stephanie Rose, 30, and Jake, 21. While they have kept their family together for over 30 years, the two have been in each other’s lives for more than 40 years now.

Jon and Dorothea got married on April 29, 1989, just when the singer was reaching success and fame. He had the number one album in the country, “New Jersey,” and the number one single. Jon was also playing at the Forum in Los Angeles on sold-out nights. At the time, he was staying with Dorothea at the St. James Club, an old art-deco dream hotel.

During their stay at this hotel, Jon told Dorothea that he had an idea. He suggested that they elope and get married. “You’re out of your mind,” Dorothea answered. However, Jon convinced her when he asked her what would be better than them finally being husband and wife. So, the duo went to Las Vegas and got married.

News of their marriage was not well-received as Dorothea was viewed as a public enemy by Jon’s numerous female fans, who were unhappy that the rock star was now a married man. The singer recalled, “America wasn’t happy on that Monday when they found out about the wedding, and a lot of people tried to ruin a beautiful thing. They tried to cheat us out of that moment.”

Jon’s manager was also furious, and the record company was downhearted. The manager told Jon that his tying the knot with Dorothea Bongiovi was not a good career move. The singer’s mother was similarly dejected about her son eloping. “She was not impressed,” said Jon.

Despite the pushback, the pair stood firm in their decision. Now, the rock star delights in his close-knit family with his wife and four great kids. Even with his fame and success, he has remained dedicated to his loved ones thanks to his close bond with Dorothea. Jon revealed that the secret to their strong and lasting union was “mutual respect.”

The two, who have also grown up together, like each other and love to hang out. Dorothea prides herself on her gift of spotting potential in Jon many years ago. The singer also pointed out that they work hard at their marriage so that they never fall into the traps of celebrity life.

Jon is happiest when he does right by his family and makes the world a better place to live in. However, he is cautious not to end up like other celebrities he has seen, which makes him only want to write songs, perform them, and go back home to his loved ones.

In 2024, the hitmaker was named MusiCares Person of the Year and will be honored on February 2, 2024, in Los Angeles. The organization commended Jon as a rock and roll trailblazer who has influenced several artists over the years.

Jon and Dorothea are also in a partnership, having formed the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation in 2006. The couple uses their platform to address injustice and the suffering of people. The associated pay-what-you-can Soul Kitchen restaurant and food banks aim to end hunger and homelessness. “We’re blessed, and we have the ability to do that,” noted Dorothea.

Despite the fame attached to their names, Dorothea and Jon keep their love low-key and do not grace the public with their presence regularly. However, the two were recently seen on a rare date night on January 25, 2024, at Giorgia Baldi, a celebrity hot spot in Santa Monica.

Jon Bon Jovi adorned a white crew-neck pullover, denim trousers, and a worn-in leather jacket, all while wearing a bright smile. Meanwhile, Dorothea donned chic brown leather pants, a navy jacket, and a stylish white, gray, and pink patterned scarf gracefully wrapped around her neck and flowing down to her torso.

Fans were excited to see the photos of the couple on a date. “They love each other and proves that marriage and love can work,” a fan commented. Another fan said they “always loved” Jon and his records and that he’d “aged beautifully.”

On the contrary, some weren’t so kind to Dorothea and were quick to comment that she “looks much older than 61!” “The Lady looks older than him,” a social media user concurred.

An online user said“She looks older than him. She doesn’t look happy,” even as another suggested that Dorothea “doesn’t look excited” because the photographers wouldn’t give them any privacy.

Dorothea and Jon have mastered the art of maintaining the spark in their four-decades-plus love story. From their elopement to raising their amazing kids, their marriage remains a testament to an enduring love. Even in their 60s, the couple continues to carve out moments for special nights out, keeping the flame alive.

The Oscar ceremony took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 11, with the top Hollywood stars in attendance. Matthew McConaughey, known for his heartbreaking roles in “Interstellar” and “True Detective,” attended the event with his wife Camila, to whom he has been married for nine years.

Camila McConaughey, a Brazilian model and designer, chose a unique style for her Oscar look that left some fans speechless and amazed. She paired a long black elegant gown with a sparkling embellished bra and a chunky necklace to match.

The sleeves of the dress were made of a plastic-like material, glistening in the paparazzi flashlights. The model let her hair down in relaxed waves and went for a bold makeup look with bronze contouring and nude lips.

It turns out that the dress was custom-made by Atelier Versace, with custom sleeves-gloves made by Atsuko Kudo Latex. Camila paired such a chic and stunning outfit with dazzling jewelry from Bulgari, and after pictures of her look were released, she posted:

@donatella_versace this dress designed special by YOU custom made for me by Atelier Versace @versace was a dream !!! Truly…Thank you!!!” wrote the model.

The public was even more in love with the outfit than Camila herself. Some considered the look to be the most stylish one on the Oscars’ red carpet. “She outclassed all the entertainers!” commented a user. “She is the best dressed elegant woman there! [sic]” another agreed.

Some fashion admirers paid respect to the dress and jewelry choice, with one user commenting“Seems so unique as I’ve not seen that style before.” Another person added“The necklace is to die for.”

While Matthew McConaughey’s wife was wowing the audience with her fashion statement, he wore a simple dark-brown suit by Versace with a white button-up shirt and a black bowtie.

The actor slicked his hair back and put on a pair of glasses to shield himself from the flashes of the cameras.

Despite the glamorous looks of the couple, a fan decided to remind the public how humble Matthew McConaughey and his wife really are. “[I] reckon these two are so down to earth that they’ll be looking like the rest of us for the rest of the week,” a user wrote, and was correct. The couple is truly far away from the busy LA life, with their house in the suburbs of Texas.

Matthew McConaughey’s heart belongs to Texas, and since making the Lone Star State their permanent home in 2014, he and his wife Camila have fully embraced its charm. From cheering on the University of Texas football team to teaching film courses at his alma mater, Matthew has become a true Texan ambassador.

It wasn’t an easy decision, though. Camila fondly recalls their idyllic life in Malibu, complete with a beautiful home and a yard where she tended to her beloved bees. However, a family crisis led them to Austin temporarily, where Camila noticed a change in Matthew — a lightness, a freedom that seemed to emanate from Texas itself.

One evening, as they paused at a red light, Camila asked the question that would change their lives: “You want to move here, don’t you?” With laughter and a resounding “Yep,” they made the decision to embrace Texas as their new home, finding unexpected familiarity and joy in its landscapes and culture.

As Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila gracefully navigate the spotlight, their deep roots in Texas remind us that true elegance transcends fleeting trends. Their down-to-earth demeanor and steadfast love for each other and their home state stand as a symbol of enduring class and timeless sophistication.

On a seemingly ordinary day, at 1:50 p.m. on March 11th, Datchet High Street became the epicenter of what can only be described as the lowest point of Kategate. In a bizarre turn of events, a humble brick wall in the British village of Datchet has become the focal point of intense online scrutiny and obsession.

This unassuming wall, nestled in Berkshire, has sparked heated debates across social media platforms. The cause of this frenzy? A photograph captured on Monday afternoon, UK time, as Kate, the Princess of Wales, passed by it while traveling to London with her husband, Prince William.

While Prince William headed to the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, Kate had a private appointment. The incident marked a significant departure from the image of the princess that the world has long held – one of perfection, poise, and perpetual radiance. Instead, she found herself engulfed in embarrassment, compelled to issue her first public apology of her royal tenure.

For over a decade, Kate painstakingly cultivated an adored public persona, meticulously crafting her image through numerous engagements and appearances. However, in a stunning turn of events, her efforts were swiftly dismantled, leaving her credibility tarnished and the royal family’s authority called into question.

The magnitude and swiftness of this downfall are unprecedented. Even reflecting on the early days of their relationship at St. Andrews University in 2001, never before has such a situation arisen to cast such a dark shadow over the royal family’s reputation.

This turmoil marks uncharted territory for both Kate and William. While royal controversies have become somewhat routine in recent years, typically involving other members of the family, this time, it’s the princess herself who finds herself at the center of the storm.

The burning question remains: How did William and Kate misstep so egregiously? From Constatinegate to Papgate, Picturegate, and now Wallgate, each misstep further erodes public trust in the royal institution.

Despite their efforts to regain control of the narrative, William and Kate’s attempts seem futile. The photograph of the wall, dismissed by many as a fabrication, was indeed captured by two freelance photographers. Their presence in that location suggests tacit approval from the royal couple, perhaps in a bid to manage the fallout from recent events.

Alas, luck was not on their side. The attempt at crisis management only exacerbated the situation, leaving the royal couple grappling with yet another PR nightmare. As they struggle to navigate the fallout from Wallgate, one thing remains certain – restoring their once-unblemished reputation will be no easy feat.

Julia Roberts and her husband, Danny Moder, share twins, who have each developed unique personalities and life paths. Although they prefer to keep their children out of the spotlight, they sometimes offer a glimpse into their personal lives on social media.

Julia Roberts recently offered a refreshing glimpse into her life, bridging the glamour of Hollywood with the warmth of family ties. Amidst her illustrious career, Roberts finds inspiration and joy not just in her professional achievements but also in the personal milestones she shares with her family. A testament to this is her deep admiration for Elizabeth Taylor, not just as an icon of style but as an influence on her appreciation for the artistry behind jewelry.

Roberts shared her awe of Taylor, saying, “I think the first time anybody sees Elizabeth Taylor, you kind of go, ‘Wow, that’s amazing.’ … Of course, you can appreciate the craftsmanship and just the dazzle of it. It’s so magical.” This admiration for Taylor’s iconic style has not only shaped Roberts’ perspective on jewelry but has also trickled down to her daughter, Hazel, albeit in a distinctly unique manner.

At 19, Hazel is carving out her own path in the world of fashion and accessories. Roberts revealed, “She’s more bohemian in her aesthetic,” highlighting a divergence from her own tastes yet sharing an intrinsic love for jewelry. Despite their differing styles, Hazel enjoys the privilege of raiding her mom’s closet, a gesture Roberts warmly affirms with a “She can, yeah!

This intimate peek into their relationship extends beyond fashion into heartfelt moments of celebration. Recently, Roberts took to social media to post a loving Valentine’s Day tribute to her husband, Danny Moder, sharing her anticipation for a beautiful date night. “My husband just wrapped a movie and we get in the car and drive home together, so that will be nice,” she noted, weaving her professional life with personal joy seamlessly.

Central to Roberts’ narrative is a fierce dedication to her family’s privacy. “We try to protect our kids. We just want to have our family life and not have that intruded upon,” she explains. This protective stance is a cornerstone of her philosophy as a mother and a public figure, balancing the limelight with the sanctity of family life.

The ethos of sharing yet protecting is evident in Roberts’ approach to social media. Reflecting on sharing photos of Hazel on her 19th birthday, Roberts conveyed, “It is something to be celebrated, and I know Instagram is a place where people like to share happy things and I love them so much and I really did just happen to come upon this cute picture and I thought… That allows me to share something as a proud parent of them without infringing on their privacy at all.”

As previously reported on September 22, 2023:

In 2021, Hazel, who was 16 then, made her first ever red-carpet appearance alongside her dad, whom she supported for his film “Flag Day,” at the Cannes Film Festival. The blonde beauty, who had her hair tied up in a ponytail, opted for a casual chic look, adorning a yellow button-down dress with flower lace embroidery and black Mary Janes with chunky heels.

Hazel made her parents proud, especially her mother, who said her daughter carried herself well. Upon recalling the rare moment, Julia praised her daughter and joked about their back and forth over her look and assertiveness with not wanting to wear eyeliner:

“She is a one-of-a-kind, that girl…I mean, it’s just sweet, just the innocence…”

When fans saw pictures of Hazel on her dad’s arm, many complimented the young lady on how she looked and called her pretty but noted the difference in physical appearance between Hazel and Julia. One fan commented:

“She’s lovely but you’d never guess who her mum is…they really are not alike at all.”

While others agreed about the difference between Hazel and Julia, some asserted that she looks more like her dad. Another person reiterated:

“She doesn’t look anything like her Mum.”

Although many feel that Hazel and Julia do not look alike, they still complimented the 18-year-old on her beauty. Most people believe Hazel resembles her father, Danny, more so than her mom, Julia.

As Bruce Willis approaches his 69th birthday on March 19, his family braces for a painful goodbye to the man who’s slowly surrendering to his progressing condition.

Now challenged by decreased appetite and severe weight loss, family and friends are “cherishing every last moment with him,” aware that “this could be his last birthday.”

In 2023, Bruce Willis was seen playfully enjoying his 68th birthday, joining in on the family chorus of “Happy Birthday.”

In a video uploaded to social media by Willis’ ex-wife, Demi Moore, on Sunday, March 19, the family can be seen singing “Happy Birthday” to him. The Hollywood heavyweight could be heard speaking with his family, 44-year-old Emma Heming Willis and his three daughters, Rumer, 35, Scout, 32 and Tallulah, 30, before blowing out his candles.

“Happy birthday, BW! So glad we could celebrate you today. Love you and love our family,” gushed ex-wife Demi Moore, who posted the fun clip on her Instagram.

This was his first public appearance since the world learned he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

‘Extremely anxious’

Things have changed drastically over the past year.

Reports reveal that the family is “extremely anxious” about the weight loss and decreased appetite of the Die Hard star, who is now living in a deteriorated state.

Speaking with In Touch, a source shares that “he doesn’t express hunger much,” explaining that his weight and decreased appetite are signs of a downward slope.

“According to family members, the challenge at home is making sure that he’s getting enough to eat, that he’s not skipping mealtime, and that his diet is filled with foods that have the chance to improve his health instead of subtract from it…This is a sad situation that should be familiar to anybody who is dealing with a close family member with dementia or Alzheimer’s.”

The insider further says his acuity is waning and adds, “He can’t communicate anymore, and he has difficulty recognizing people.”

Confirming that claim, Glenn Gordon reveals that his close friend, the star of Sixth Sense, is in decline: “He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader – he didn’t want anyone to know that – and he’s not reading now.” Gordon, who tries to see Willis at least once a month, continues, “All those language skills are no longer available to him.”

‘Far from the truth’

Meanwhile, Emma, saying she’s “triggered,” strikes back at the authors behind the “blurbs of misinformation,” claiming “there is no more joy in my husband.”

On March 2, Emma, the award-winning actor’s biggest champion, shares an Instagram post about the “negative narrative around dementia.” In her caption, she writes “My experience is that two things can be true and exist at the same time. Grief and deep love. Sadness and deep connection. Trauma and resilience.”

In the clip, she then clarifies, “I can just tell you, that is far from the truth. A hundred percent, there is grief and sadness, there’s all of that. But you start a new chapter…it’s filled with love, it’s filled with connection, it’s filled with joy, it’s filled with happiness.”

Though she did not name the outlet that published the damning information, she said: “I need society and whoever is writing these stupid headlines to stop scaring people, stop scaring people to think that once they get a diagnosis of some kind of neurocognitive disease, that that’s it, it’s over.”

‘Could be his last birthday’

His 69th birthday might look very different as family members are bracing for an emotional goodbye.

“Everybody’s staying positive about Bruce’s future and hopeful that he finds some kind of comfortable plateau or even, God willing, shows signs of improvement,” says the insider, adding that family members are dedicated to spending as much time with him as they can.

“They know being in the presence of his family seems to bring him a lot of comfort, so that is what they focus on. No matter how much time Bruce has left, they want him to be surrounded by love and happiness.”

And when the Pulp Fiction star turns 69 on March 192024, Emma, Moore and his five daughters will be celebrating his life.

“Those who love Bruce want to cherish every last moment with him. They all realize this could be his last birthday.” The source adds about his daughters, “they’re taking as many photos and videos as possible.”

Pierce Brosnan’s wife, Keely Shaye Brosnan, looked magnificent and ageless in her husband’s recent Instagram post. Many onlookers couldn’t help but admire her gorgeous pink dress and flawless beauty.

Pierce Brosnan, the beloved actor renowned for his role as James Bond among many others, recently took to Instagram to share moments from his “So Many Dreams” art exhibition in Palm Desert.

In a touching display of support, his wife, Keely Shaye Brosnan, accompanied him, capturing the eyes of many with her radiant presence. Among the shared snapshots, one stood out: Keely, clad in a bright pink lace dress, her elegance and grace encapsulating the evening.

Her sleeveless maxi dress, both dainty and sophisticated, complemented her timeless beauty, enhanced by simple earrings. “My wife Keely and I had the most glorious time in your company,” Pierce wrote, thanking attendees while inviting others to drop by his art exhibit.

The internet quickly buzzed with admiration, not just for Brosnan’s artistic talent but significantly for Keely’s ageless beauty and stunning ensemble.

Pierce and Keely’s journey as a married couple spans over two decades, a testament to their deep connection and shared life experiences. Through the years, their relationship has navigated the realms of joy and sorrow.

Despite such trials, their bond has only strengthened, supported by their shared backgrounds in acting and a mutual commitment to their family, including their sons Dylan and Paris, and Pierce’s children from his previous marriage.

Brosnan openly credits their enduring relationship to mutual love, respect, and the shared journey of life’s ups and downs, emphasizing the spiritual growth they’ve experienced together.

“We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot,” Brosnan said. “And we’ve been down the road, and we’ve seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do. But watching someone grow up with you and grow old with you is a very spiritual journey. To watch each other change, whatever it may be.”

Central to the Brosnans’ lasting marriage is the foundation of friendship and shared experiences. Pierce highlights the importance of solving problems together and maintaining a healthy relationship through mutual support and understanding.

Keely mirrors this sentiment, emphasizing the role of friendship in their marriage. This dynamic of partnership and support extends beyond their personal lives into their professional ones, with Pierce lauding Keely’s role in their family and her support of his career.

While career-driven as a journalist and reporter herself, Keely made their house a home and assumed a wonderful role as a mother. She also gives Pierce the freedom to explore his creativity as an actor and supports him in any way she can.

Similarly, Keely also thinks highly of her husband. Her view of Pierce as a superhero, both on-screen and at home, reflects the deep admiration and respect they share, anchored in the qualities of kindness and generosity that define their relationship.

Beyond interviews, Pierce Brosnan isn’t shy to show affection to his wife on social media. The journalist recently turned 60 years old, and her famous husband paid a heartfelt tribute to her on his social media alongside a picture of the beaming couple.

The photo showed the Irish actor and the writer posing in front of roses as they held hands. He had his arm wrapped around her shoulder. Pierce, who expressed that he was happy and blessed to have met the mother of his kids, wrote:

“Sixty roses for my brown-eyed girl on her 60th birthday.”

Pierce has shown how in love he is with his beloved wife. In April 2020, the “GoldenEye” star posted a throwback image of the happy couple widely smiling and penned, “My darling angel heart, Keely, thank you for bringing such love and beauty into my life.”

Pierce further thanked the brunette beauty for bringing him happiness in the 26 years that they have been together, calling her his “brown-eyed girl” again.

Keely and Pierce met in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in 1994. At the time, she worked as a television correspondent and was sent to interview another actor, Ted Danson.

However, when Ted was called away, Keely crossed paths with her future husband at a party. She recalled meeting the movie star for the first time and admitted she was instantly attracted to him, “I thought, ‘Wow! Wow!'” said Smith once in an interview.

The pair went on their first date a few days later and have been together ever since. They welcomed their first child together, son Dylan, in 1997 and had their second son Paris in 2001. A few months after their youngest child’s arrival, the couple walked down the aisle in August 2001.

“I found a great woman in Keely Shaye,” said the Hollywood star. His spouse also raved about him, saying, he is smart, charming and that the veteran film producer’s “beauty emanates from the soul.”

As previously posted on March 11:

Pierce Brosnan attended the latest Oscar Wilde Awards ceremony with his wife, Keely Brosnan, causing quite a stir. Despite Pierce’s fame for his James Bond role and iconic films like “Mamma Mia” and “Mrs. Doubtfire,” it was his wife who captured the public’s attention.

Keely has been accompanying Pierce throughout half of his career, as a friend, lover, and dedicated wife. They got married in 2001 after Pierce’s first wife, Cassandra Harris, passed away in 1991.

Now, Keely and Pierce are happily married with four children — Christopher, 51, and Sean, 40, from Pierce’s previous marriage, and Dylan, 27, and Paris Brosnan, 23, whom the couple share. Aside from being a mother, Keely is also a chef in the kitchen.

“Keely is such a wonderful cook,” said Pierce lovingly about his wife. “I always have the best table in the house when I’m sitting at her table. But date nights are Giorgio Baldi [a restaurant in Santa Monica]. That’s where we had our first date,” added the 70-year-old actor.

Pierce had only kind words to say about his spouse, though the public was not always so kind to Keely. Due to her larger size, she faced bullying on the internet. However, her husband does not care about her looks; he believes that love comes from the heart, regardless of appearance.

After being criticized on the internet for so many years due to her body, Keely showed up to the Oscar Wilde Awards with a drastically slimmer figure. Fans were surprised and flooded the post of the couple’s red carpet looks with weight-related comments.

“Keely looks fantastic. Congratulations on the weight loss,” commented a user. “How much weight Keely lost!” another chimed in“Lost soo much weight,” a commenter agreed.

As Keely was praised for her successful weight loss, one fan couldn’t let go of how the public treated the woman previously. “Didn’t they make fun of her for being overweight?” a user asked.

They did, but despite Keely’s weight, her husband was always there for her with words of affirmation and gratitude for having Keely in his life.

“We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot,” Pierce has said. “And we’ve been down the road, and we’ve seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do.”

Keely supported Pierce after his previous wife passed away from cancer, being there for him during his darkest times. Hand in hand, they navigated the challenges that come with having a career in Hollywood.

“New York, Radio City, doing Golden Eye, James Bond, you know we have grown up together into this fantasy world and beautiful world of James Bond,” said Pierce. “Our love and life are very much connected to that role.”

Now, Pierce is not the only one praising his wife. After their recent outing, fans are in love with Keely’s new look.“They look awesome, especially his wife,” posted a user. “What a great Bond between them. Awesome,” another commenter remarked“Looking gorgeous and healthy,” a user wrote.

The couple attended the event as because Pierce won an award, paying tribute to him as one of the most successful Irish actors in history. As he received the trophy, the actor shared heartfelt words about Keely. “Being with Keely has been the highlight of my life in moments like this,” he said.

As the couple moves forward in life, Keely’s journey from online bullying to confidence on the red carpet inspires many. But no matter what size she is, Pierce Brosnan is always there for Keely, appreciating the “highlight” of his life.

As previously reported on December 21, 2023:

Social media users recently took to Twitter to share their thoughts after the posting of a before and after picture of Pierce Brosnan and his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, where she appeared to have gained weight.

The critic told his followers to avoid marriage in the post, suggesting that women may change their physical appearance through the years after tying the knot.

Fortunately, many of the actor’s fans came to his and Smith’s defense, claiming that love goes above beyond physical appearances. “Yes because staying a size 2 forever is the real meaning behind everlasting love,” one fan wrote.

Another Twitter user countered the critic’s comment, saying that the photos prove that a marriage well taken care of can last. Many others also shared their admiration for Smith, saying she looked beautiful before and now.

“She still looks absolutely fine, she gave him children, she’s faithful to him and is good to him and he is happy with her!” one fan tweeted“I think his wife is attractive in both photos personally,” another said.

Brosnan and Smith have been married for 22 long years, and through the ups and downs, they remain as strong as ever. Brosnan has praised his wife publicly several times and shared how much love they have for each other.

“Keeley is a journalist, a reporter. She’s an artist in her own right. And as a woman, she has made a family for our sons,” he saidPierce Brosnan shares glimpses of their relationship on social media, showing fans that there is only one woman in his life.

He previously posted a picture with his wife where she looked absolutely stunning in a glittering gold outfit. Her husband sat beside her, looking at her with loving eyes.

Helen Hunt felt nostalgic by posting a book based on a film she once starred in. However, some fans concentrated on her appearance, leaving mixed reactions. The veteran award-winning actress posted a selfie holding a book called “Twister” on her Instagram page with more than 500k followers on September 16, 2023.

“Thrifting. #twister #VHS,” Helen captioned her social upload. She had no makeup on and wore her blonde hair down. The star donned a denim jacket with a white top underneath.

Helen’s followers commented on her post, and some complimented her on her barefaced photo. One social media user wrote, “Helen, you look very cool.”

“You are so cute. Then and now,” penned another follower alongside a tornado emoji while referring to “Twister,” the 1996 movie the actress appeared in. Someone else stated, “Still a beauty, Helen,” alongside a heart emoji.

Although some people had something positive to say about Helen’s appearance, others criticized her for her looks and accused her of having work done on her face.

“Why would you do that to your face? You were beautiful before all the plastic surgery,” said one person. Another claimed, “Wow, too much plastic surgery.” One Instagram user penned on the platform, “She looks different to me! Am I just imagining this?” While another curiously asked, “What happened to her face.”

Helen Hunt Is a Divorcee & a Mother of One

Helen is 60 years old and has been married once. She was previously married to fellow actor Hank Azaria, known for voicing several characters in the animated show, “The Simpsons.” The former couple’s marriage was short-lived after tying the knot in July 1999 and divorcing in December 2000.

The actress and director found happiness again when she met producer and writer Matthew Carnahan, with whom she welcomed her daughter Makena, 19, in May 2004.

Helen had her only child at the peak of her acting career after winning an Oscar Award for Best Actress in the 1997 romantic comedy, “As Good as It Gets,” alongside Jack Nicholson and Cuba Gooding Jr.

She spoke candidly about parenthood in a September 2008 interview, saying nothing compares to being a mother to her then four-year-old daughter Makena. She stepped away from the limelight to “get a life” and further expressed:

Helen and Matthew dated from 2001 to 2017. Although their relationship ended after several years, they still co-parent their now-teenage daughter, Makena. An insider revealed in December 2020 that raising her child with her former partner remains a “top priority” for Helen, even though they do not always get along.

However, the source disclosed that the exes have since moved on as Matthew was dating someone, and Helen was also in a low-key relationship with professional photographer Steven Tepper.

Still, another insider revealed Helen was madly in love with Steven, a former attorney, and hoped that things would work out between them. Hence, she remained mum about their newly found romance.

Another source described the former attorney as a “super private” and “regular guy,” adding Helen was not ready to disclose details of their relationship. “She doesn’t want to overwhelm him with the celebrity spotlight,” the insider explained.

The source also divulged that Helen’s daughter was accepting of her new boyfriend, Steven, adding she loved how “happy” he made her. Steven even spent Thanksgiving with his famous girlfriend and her family during that period.

An insider additionally shared that they all looked forward to celebrating the holidays together. At that point, Helen had been dating Steven for “over a year,” and her daughter Makena had reportedly gotten to know him better.

The source explained that even though the four-time Emmy Award winner had decided to keep her relationship with Steven under the radar, they were “going strong” then.

In addition, Makena seemed to be smitten with her mother’s significant other, “Makena likes him, and that goes a long way in her book. [Helen] deserves happiness and Steven makes her happy,” revealed the insider.

On Sunday morning, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a Mother’s Day picture purportedly taken by Prince William. The photo featured the Princess alongside her three children – Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and Prince George.

The image held significance as it marked the first official appearance of Catherine since her abdominal surgery in January. Initially appearing natural, concerns arose over the next 24 hours leading major media agencies like Getty Images, AFP, Reuters, Associated Press, and PA Media to retract the image citing “manipulation” concerns, particularly regarding Princess Charlotte’s hand alignment.

In a subsequent statement on Monday morning, the Princess of Wales acknowledged “editing” the photo herself and apologised for any confusion it caused. Despite potential innocent intentions, the incident has raised doubts about the public’s trust in the Royal Family’s disclosures.

Adding to the scrutiny, another image of Kate Middleton has surfaced, stirring speculation of possible manipulation. In this photo, Middleton is depicted as a passenger in a car passing by a brick wall. Observers noted disparities between the bricks visible through the car windows and those above the car.

One individual took to social media, expressing disbelief: “Yall!? Has no one else noticed that the most recent photo of #KateMiddleton in the car… the bricks in the car windows, don’t appear to match the bricks outside the car… Is this another photoshopped picture… can anyone find the original they clipped it from?” The post garnered nearly 10,000 likes within twelve hours.

Further comparisons ensued, with one person pointing out similarities to a 2016 photo of Middleton: “Ok I went down the fashion rabbit hole. This is very similar to Kate’s 2016 Somme hair style and hat. Play with the colouring and you can clearly see what looks like a bow outline. Looks like they blurred out her big round earring as well.”

Another speculated that the image might be from Christmas, stating: “They used a Christmas day photo. They erased her earring, her hat brim can clearly be seen, as can the top be seen obscuring the rectangle in the interior of the car… then they added some noise to make it harder to discern the edits… they are really bad at this!!!”
