Brooke Shields is not a regular mom, she’s a “cool mom” — at least according to her daughter’s latest Instagram post.
The actress’ daughter Rowan, 21, shared a photo of the pair’s matching tattoos via her Instagram Story on Saturday, January 4, writing, “Mother/daughter bonding.”
The tattoos, which appear to be inked on the women’s left forearms, read: “and to the party.” The post tagged East Side Ink and tattoo artist Matt Gutierrez.
Shields, 59, shared the photo to her Story as well with the caption, “Another matching tattoo with my bug .”
To celebrate Rowan’s high school graduation in 2021, the duo got matching ladybug tattoos. Shields got hers on the inside of her left wrist, while Rowan chose to display her new ink on the back of her left ankle.
“A special graduation gift and memory with my girl I’m so proud of you, I love you more than words can say,” Shields captioned the Instagram photos at the time.
Earlier this year, Shields also shared the inspiration behind another set of matching tattoos — this time with her youngest daughter, Grier, 18. (She shares both Rowan and Grier with husband Chris Henchy.)
The tattoo, which is placed on Grier’s wrist and Shields’ forearm, shows two sets of feet (one small, one big) wearing the same pair of heels. It’s meant to represent Grier stepping into her mom’s shoes. (Grier, an aspiring model, walked in her first runway show at New York Fashion Week during the Tommy Hilfiger presentation in September.)

“When she was little, she would always just wear my shoes, no matter how teeny she was,” Shields told the “Stupid Things For Love” podcast in May. “She would go into my closet and come out and have breakfast in her diaper and high heels, and then the night gown and high heels.”
Shields got vulnerable on Instagram last summer after dropping her girls off at college and officially becoming “an empty nester.” Rowan is a senior at Wake Forest University, while Grier just started her freshman year at the North Carolina school.
“They’re together at least,” an emotional Shields said as she wiped tears from her eyes in a video posted via Instagram in August. “It’s not easy. It’s not easy for the moms. I mean it’s just so weird. It’s so weird that (Grier’s) not here.”
Shields said they both cried saying goodbye before letting out a big sigh. “Both of my baby birds have left the nest ,” she captioned the video.
“Oh Brooke it’s so so hard,” Debra Messing commented on the post. “It’s the end of an era and now you get to start a new chapter. But first you have to cry. A lot. I laid on my couch for 3 weeks and couldn’t speak to anyone. Be tender with yourself. It’s hard because it’s hard. All us empty nesters are sending you love..”
“True words!” Melissa Joan Hart also commented. “It’s so hard on the moms when our babies fly off but if we did our job, that’s the goal! .”
Shields had a busy 2024, starring in Netflix’s Mother of the Bride, being elected the president of the Actors’ Equity Association — a labor union representing stage performers and managers — and launching her hair brand Commence for women over 40.
“If I’m not mom 24/7, who am I?” she told the New York Times in June. “I really identify with so much more than people have given me credit for. Might I remind you, I’m still a female and still human.”
In a new interview with The Sunday Times, De Niro, 81, admitted that he wakes up each morning to his baby daughter Gia and the soothing sounds of Rachel Accurso, better known as Ms. Rachel — the YouTuber-turned-millionaire whose videos focus on childhood development and language skills.
“I’m an early riser,” he told the outlet. “I’ve got a 19-month-old baby. I spend my mornings watching Ms Rachel with her, and I give her her bottle.”
As for whether or not the Hollywood icon changes Gia’s diapers, the proud father of seven insisted, “No, no, but I used to.”
Gia is De Niro’s seventh child and first with partner Tiffany Chen, whom he met on the 2015 set of The Intern. The two-time Oscar winner also shares adult children Drena, 57, and Raphael, 49, with ex-wife Diahnne Abbott; twins Julian and Aaron, 29, with ex Toukie Smith; and son Elliot, 26, and daughter Helen, 13, with his second wife, Grace Hightower. De Niro and Hightower, 69, split in 2018.
De Niro is also a grandfather as Raphael has three young children. Drena’s only child, Leandro, died last July at age 19.
In terms of fatherhood, De Niro said he doesn’t know his children would describe him. “Oh God, they would all have a different answer. Family is so complex,” he admitted. “I try my best, that’s all. I hope they’ll be happy.”

There’s no denying he puts in the effort, as De Niro recently took a trip with his son Elliot to see the gorillas in Rwanda. “That was worth doing,” he told The Times. “I like a safari too, and I’m interested in going to Madagascar.”
Disneyland, however, is off his bucket list. “I struggle with that — the rides,” he insisted.
De Niro recently called Gia a “pure joy” after celebrating her first birthday in March, telling Entertainment Tonight, “She had a little cake, it was very nice, sweet.”
“Well, she’s pure joy,” he continued, “there’s nothing about her, there’s no judgement, there’s no anything, she just is what she is and it’s just pure joy for god sakes.”
He added in an interview with People last year, “She’s such an adorable baby. So sweet. [When I] look at her, everything else goes away. So it’s a great joy and relief to just be with her in the moment.”
De Niro is currently working on his next business venture: opening the Nobu Beach Inn on the tiny Caribbean island of Barbuda. He now co-owns 57 restaurants and 42 hotels around the globe — an empire built up over 35 years since he opened his first restaurant, the Tribeca Grill, in New York in 1990.
The actor is also set to star in 2025’s Alto Knights after appearing in 2024’s Joker follow-up Folie à Deux.
“I tell any actor, I tell my own kids this: if you’re reading for something, assume you’re not gonna get the part. And that’ll free you, if anything. That’ll free you to make a bolder choice, maybe,” De Niro told Stephen Colbertof his advice for auditioning actors.
He has starred in countless films and doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
When asked if he plans to retire in the aforementioned People interview, De Niro said, simply, “Not at the moment.”
Nicole Kidman celebrated the start of the 2025 awards season alongside her 16-year-old daughter Sunday Rose at W Magazine’s Annual Best Performances Party in Los Angeles.
The mother-daughter duo posed together at the annual event, which celebrated the year’s top talent, at the Chateau Marmont on Saturday, January 4. Kidman, 57, looked menswear chic in a blue shirt, oversized blazer and pants which she highlighted with a pair of pointed black heels. Sunday, meanwhile, rocked an embellished light blue two-piece with black tights. Both women wore their hair down in waves.
Kidman, who’s receiving rave reviews for her performance in 2024’s Babygirl, shares Sunday and daughter Faith, 14, with husband Keith Urban, whom she wed in 2006. (She is also mom to daughter Bella, 31, and son Connor, 29, whom she shares with ex Tom Cruise.)
“They raid my wardrobe all the time. I’m like, ‘Okay, what’s mine is yours,'” Kidman told W in their Best Performances issue, saying she boxed up all her red carpet dresses. “They’re museum pieces.”
She continued: “But I don’t raid their closet, even though I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s cute.’ But I’m not allowed to take anything. It’s a one-way exchange.”
Sunday recently made her runway debut at the spring/summer 2025 Miu Miu show during Paris Fashion Week in October. Kidman told E! Newsat the Lioness premiere later that month that she is “Incredibly proud and supportive” of her daughter’s pursuit of modeling.
“Just there for her. Just being a mom,” she added. “I was just like, ‘You got this baby.’ “I’m trying to give her her own space, you know? [Not be] overbearing or dominant in any way.”

Faith stepped out with her mom in December at The Hollywood Reporter‘s Annual Women In Entertainment Gala at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Clad in a black-and-white jacket with a matching tweed skirt, she stood next to her famous mom, who wore a black dress featuring a blue blouse-inspired collar.
Both girls also supported Kidman in April alongside their dad at the AFI Life Achievement Award Gala held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The actress was celebrated at the event with the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is known as the highest honor in American cinema and previously received by the likes of Julie Andrews, Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Diane Keaton, Al Pacino and Barbra Streisand.
Kidman discussed the “enormous amount of luck” in her life at the event before praising her family for their unwavering support.
“There’s also the most important thing, love,” she added. “Big, big love. And then right there is the love of my life, and the loves of my life. My daughters have never been anywhere publicly with me on a red carpet, tonight was their first night, so they’re here, Sunday and Faith.”
Kidman, who is nominated at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, recently lost her own mother, Janelle, in September at the age 84 and celebrated her life at the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Festival on Friday, January 3.
She dedicated her International Star Award to her mom, saying through tears, “I wanna dedicate — because I didn’t get to do it at the Venice Film Festival. I didn’t get to do that because I arrived in Venice and she was gone. I got the call and I said to [Babygirl director] Halina [Reijn], ‘Can you come on stage for me and accept the award for me.’ And she did. But now I’m on stage and I’m back here.”
Kidman went on, “Thank you for giving me the chance to say, ‘This is for my mom.’ My whole career has been for my mom and my dad, who are not here now. I’m still going to keep working and giving to the world because I love what I do and I love you all, and I’m so grateful for the privilege to be a part of the film community.”
“I’m sorry I’m crying. I didn’t want to do that,” the actress said. “But I feel my mom right now so this is for you, mama.”
Kidman’s father, Anthony, died in September 2014 at age 75.
At Friday’s ceremony, Kidman added of her parents, “They’ve given me the resilience, they’ve given me the love, and they’ve given me the strength to keep moving forward.”
The duo had a Maid in Manhattan reunion on Saturday, January 4, at the Parker Palm Springs for the Variety Creative Impact Awards, where Lopez, 55, was honored with the Legend and Groundbreakers Award. The pair posed for photos together after Fiennes, 62, presented his former costar with the honor while sharing a touching speech about her career.
Recounting his experience with the Unstoppable star on the 2002 rom-com in a video shared via Lopez’s Instagram, Fiennes said, “Once upon a time in another life and perhaps in a different epoch of movie storylines, there was this Republican senatorial candidate mooching about in a hotel in Manhattan, and there was as well in this same other life a maid in this hotel.”
He continued: “This wannabe Republican senator was struck by her good looks, but he couldn’t quite truly see her. This maid was masking something in her demure and mindful way. She was sweet and charming, but actually, she was concealing something. She was hiding a kind of superpower. Behind this maid’s mask, there was indeed a force, a force of creativity, a force of action, something so powerful which just couldn’t stop. An unstoppable force was coming out of this humble and unassuming maid in the hotel, and this maid, in fact, possessed extraordinary wings that unfolded, and off she flew.”
Fiennes, who has also been lauded this year for his role in 2024’s Conclave, pivoted to Lopez in real life — calling her “inspiring.”
“But in this life, in this story, she has already been flying with determination from an early age, because I think she knows that she has something inside her which she must honor as she flies high,” Fiennes said. “She is honoring and fulfilling her extraordinary creative spirit, and sharing it, shining a light on the lives of so many people, inspiring them and brightening their days.”
Fiennes further celebrated Lopez’s singing, acting and dancing skills before praising her “spirit.”
“Her powerful energy just leaves the men [costars] sort of just left behind, and off she goes. She just blasts away,” he said before calling her an “unstoppable … goddess” and inviting her to the stage.
Lopez was brought to tears as she thanked Fiennes and quipped, “We really must stop meeting in hotels like this” — a line from their movie.
Lopez starred in a string of successful rom-coms in the 2000s, including Maid in Manhattan, The Wedding Planner and Monster-in-Law, all while pursuing her singing career.
While accepting her Variety award, Lopez said she didn’t “set out to break rules or ground or push boundaries or to challenge the status quo.”

“I set out to follow a burning passion against the advice of everyone around me,” she explained on Saturday. “How do you do what I wanted to do when your life circumstances, your race, or even your gender create an idea that it’s practically impossible to go from a tenement in the Bronx to starring in Hollywood movies? It’s just too preposterous to fathom. You just don’t belong. Because, of course, the life you’re born into literally maps out of defines your trajectory. I guess, for me, it was simple: it was just not listening.”
Lopez thanked Fiennes in an Instagram post after the awards ceremony, sharing, “I cannot thank you enough Ralph Fiennes for your beautiful words and for our little Maid in Manhattan reunion today. It was wonderful to see you. You brought tears to my eyes. (That’s why I was sniffling through my whole speech LOL) I love you. Thank you so much…working with you was one of the great highlights of my career so far. I say so far because I hope I get to do it again someday soon for Maid in Manhattan 2…You never know….”
Wicked star Cynthia Erivo and Emilia Pérez director Jacques Audiard were also honored at the annual event as well as 10 “directors to watch,” including Zoë Kravitz for Blink Twice, Halina Reijn for Babygirl and Malcolm Washington for The Piano Lesson.
From Gwyneth Paltrow’s college-aged teen advice to Serena Williams’ toddler wisdom, celebrities truly “get it” when it comes to the ups and downs of parenthood.
“It’ll be interesting to see how the morning routine changes with no kids in the house,” Paltrow, 52, whose daughter Apple, 20, is a student at Vanderbilt University and son Moses, 18, attends Brown University, told The Sunday Timesin March, adding that she was feeling, “incredible sadness. A deep sense of impending grief.”
Still, the actress, who shares her kids with ex-husband Chris Martin, noted, “This is exactly what should be happening. Your kids are supposed to be, you know, young adults who can achieve and cope and make connections and be resilient. That’s exactly what you want. And that means they leave the house.”
Below, read more quotes from celebrities about parenthood:
Angelina Jolie on What Matters
During a press tour for her film Maria, Jolie, 49, remained adamant that her six children — Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — were the most important part of her life — always.
“It’s my happiness,” Jolie told Good Morning Americain November of parenting her kids with ex-husband Brad Pitt. “You can take everything else away from me. Nothing else matters.”
“I don’t feel that [loneliness] because I have family,” Jolie added in a Sunday Times interview. “Maria [Callas] didn’t have a family, so her work was everything. My work is not everything. Being a parent is everything.”
Samira Wiley on Discipline
Wiley, 37, told BuzzFeed in March that she doesn’t believe in punishing her daughter, George, 3, whom she shares with wife Lauren Morelli.
“I don’t hit my kids for discipline. I feel like I came up in an era where children, especially growing up at the church, you’re kind of seen and not heard. I don’t think I necessarily felt like a full person until later… after childhood. It’s important for me to see George as her own person. She’s a being that I want to respect in this world. I want to listen to her when she’s crying, I want to be able to encourage her to speak up for herself, and all of those things.”
Jennifer Garner on Saying ‘No’
“My mom always says when they’re being the worst, that’s when they need the biggest hug,” Garner, 52, who shares three kids — Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — with ex-husband Ben Affleck, explained on an episode of “Kelly Corrigan Wonders” podcast in May.
“She has a lot of things she says, but one of them is, ‘Anytime you can say yes, say yes, be very liberal with your yeses and save your nos. And that closing your mouth is worth a million nos.’”
Lindsay Lohan on Getting Outside
Lohan, 38, who welcomed her son, Luai, last year with husband Bader Shammas, revealed that most of her time is spent with her toddler.
“For me, playing with my son and spending time with him,” she told People when asked about her daily routine. “Right now he just loves being outside and taking walks, so I just try to get him outside as much as I can because he loves looking around.”
Sophie Turner on Mom Guilt
Speaking about her divorce from Joe Jonas, the Game of Thrones actress, 28, shared how the “bad mother” narrative impacted her.
“It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother – mum guilt is so real! I just kept having to say to myself, ‘None of this is true. You are a good mum and you’ve never been a partier,’” Turner told British Vogueof parenting daughters Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2.
Ryan Reynolds on Embracing the Chaos
Reynolds, 48, who shares four kids — James, 9, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 1 — with Blake Lively, told the podcast “Not Skinny But Not Fat” to “embrace the chaos … like, OK, nothing’s going to be tidy ever again.” But “it will, though, when they all leave the house.”
He shared a bit of sage parenting advice from Lively, who “always says, ‘They’re all under our roof right now. The whole family’s under our roof right now. We have them all.’ And that is a fleeting thing. Not an infinite resource, you know?”
Reynolds revealed that nighttime is a struggle because some of their kids “can’t even go to sleep unless they’re in our bed.”
While he’d “love to spread out and fall asleep normally again,” the Deadpool and Wolverine star keeps his wife’s perspective top of mind. “Just say, ‘Think about what you would give in 40 years or 30 years to come back and enjoy this one moment.’”
Serena Williams on Becoming a Mom-of-Two
In an April interview on Today with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager, Williams, 43, said she keeps a piece of advice close as she parents daughters Olympia, 6, and Adira, 1, with husband Alexis Ohanian.
“Someone gave me the best advice, they said, ‘Spend more time with the oldest cause they’ll remember,’ ” Williams explained. “Isn’t that the best advice? But I do. Because the little one won’t remember. So whenever Olympia’s home, I’m with her. And then Adira, I’m just like, ‘Okay…’ I pretend like I don’t know her as much.”
“You want to make Olympia feel like she’s not replaced,” Bush Hager, 43, offered.
“Exactly, exactly. That’s hard,” Williams responded.
Kelly Clarkson on Social Media
Earlier this year, the singer, 42, told People that her kids with ex Brandon Blackstock — River, 10, and Remy, 8 — are forbidden from joining social media until they’re 18.
“I have informed them they’re not allowed to, under my roof, ever have [it]… My daughter was like, ‘Well, what if Dad lets me?’ I’m like, ‘Well, you’re there four days a month. Enjoy that.’ And right now, he’s not letting them do it either. I’ll listen when they’re older, but until they have a solid argument, it’s a no.”
Jeff Goldblum on Keeping It Light
The Wicked actor, 72, said he and his wife, former Olympian rhythmic gymnast Emilie Livingston, hold on to a piece of advice given to them when she was pregnant.
“Somebody said — and I forget who I had this conversation with, sometimes that happens — but they said, ‘Hey, here’s the most important thing about parenting: Don’t forget that your kids are hilarious,’” Goldblum, who shares sons Charlie, 9, and River, 7, with Livingston, 41, told People. “The kids can drive you nuts from one moment to another, or you can have all sorts of drama, but if you can keep finding the humor in it, that’s not a bad rule.”
Gwyneth Paltrow on Having College-Aged Kids
Paltrow admitted she’s grieving a part of motherhood now that her kids are away at college to The Sunday Times.
“I’ve been so defined and so fulfilled by motherhood. It’s been kind of the central … it’s been like the central kind of … I don’t know even how to articulate it! It’s like the guiding force. It’s what I return to,” she explained. “I observe a lot of my friends who’ve had kids who’ve gone off to college. Your kid … it changes. And, you know, they come home a lot and all that stuff, but it’s not quite the same as living under the same roof all the days of the year. So I’m just trying to be open to what that means.”
Matt Damon on Being a Girl Dad
The actor, 54, who shares four daughters — Alexia, 25, Isabella, 18, Gia, 16, and Stella, 14 — with wife Luciana Damon said he doesn’t like to offer too much advice to fellow parents.
“I don’t know. I wouldn’t deign to give anybody advice other than I just try to listen and be helpful,” Damon told Andy Cohen in August. “I mean, ultimately, it’s about building self-esteem.”
“You know, 99% of the decisions they make, you’re not gonna be there, right?” added Damon.
Kate Middleton on Being Grateful for the Little Things
The Princess of Wales, 42, shared that her cancer diagnosis was “tough for us as a family.”
“The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,” she shared in a September statement on Instagram of her three children with Prince William — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. “With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.”
She continued, “This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”
Kourtney Kardashian on Bonding With Babies
On an episode of The Kardashians in June, Kourtney, 45, said she was staying home with her and Travis Barker’s newborn son Rocky for an extended period of time.
“In many different cultures, women don’t leave the house after having a baby for 40 days, to let your body have that time to heal and beyond that,” she said on the series. “I’m really into attachment parenting. I really don’t separate from him. I love being at home right now, like my time is dedicated to taking care of my baby and bonding with him.”
Her sister Khloé Kardashian, who’s a mom of two, joked: “Welcome to my daily life. I haven’t had a baby and I’m still doing the 40 days.”
Kate Hudson on Handling Big Feelings
In an interview with theSkimmin May, Hudson, 45, said she doesn’t negotiate with her three kids, Ryder, 20, Bingham, 13, and Rani, 6.
“I stay really calm and say, ‘I can’t wait to hear everything you’re feeling and to get into all of this, but first you’re going to have to take some deep breaths.’ That’s how I always approach things, especially with the younger kids when they get worked up. I think it’s good to just let them process their own feelings before I delve into it all with them,” she explained.
“I also don’t believe in negotiating with children,” Hudson added. “That’s one thing that I’ve always been strict about. There are rules and privileges and you have to earn those privileges. There’s no negotiating. Sticking to that is very hard, but that’s something that I really strive to do — stick to things that are non-negotiable.”
Katie Thurston is now happily engaged to Jeff Arcuri, but she admits it wasn’t easy to navigate dating after leading The Bachelorette.
“Having a large audience was the biggest shift in how I dated,” the 33-year-old said during an Instagram Q&A on Sunday, December 29. “I wanted someone who wasn’t intimidated by my large audience or excited to use my large audience. If you have dirt, those skeletons will make its way to me pretty quickly (and for the best).”
Thurston, who got engaged to Blake Moynes on season 17 of The Bachelorette and went on to appear on season 3 of FBoy Island, said she also learned that sharing who you’re dating too early is ill-advised.
“I also learned not to post a guy within the first 90 days of dating (it often ended within this exploration phase). Posting a guy too soon has led me to extend a relationship far beyond its expiration date in order to avoid embarrassment,” she said.
Thurston met fellow comedian Arcuri, 37, in April and he proposed months later at Secret Beach in Kauai, Hawaii, on August 26.
When answering a question about their quick courtship, Thurston joked, “No no no. You don’t get to cheer me on during a reality dating show but then side eye me now.”
She continued: “But all jokes aside, I’m 34 (in less than a week) and he’s 37. We are just two independent, mature, adults who know what we want and found that in each other. Also dating long distance to start, really created a foundation like no other. Also, I never understood the expression ‘when you know you know’ and I now feel that deep in my heart for this man. And those who know us in person, see it and get it.”
Jeff Arcuri and Katie Thurston
At the time of their engagement, Thurston and Arcuri shared the phrase “when you know you know” alongside photos from the oceanside proposal.
“I won’t say neither of us have red flags. But when others saw things in us that were challenging, concerning, or weird — we embraced, healed, and supported those things,” Thurston said of her and Arcuri’s relationship on her Instagram Q&A. “For example, we are both sensitive. This also means we have patience and understanding for our feelings and talk through them openly while working through any disagreements. Neither of us are ‘too cool’ for anything so we get to be quirky together.”
She added that they both “remain humble” as celebrities, but Thurston said Arcuri is more “active and dedicated in his career path” as a comedian — which is why she’s moving to New York in 2025.
As for their wedding plans, Thurston said they’re looking at venues soon and hoping for something “outdoor forest” or Pacific Northwest vibes “without the unpredictable weather.”
Ariana Biermann is in her feels as her parents, estranged couple Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, sell their Georgia home.
Ariana, 23, posted a farewell video to the property via social media on Thursday, December 26, which included snippets of herself and her younger siblings — Kroy “KJ,” 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, 11 — in various rooms in the house. (Ariana and her sister Brielle, 27, are Kim’s daughters from a previous relationship, whom Kroy later adopted.)
She captioned the post: “Last christmas in my childhood home thank you god for the amazing memories w my family — goodbye <3.”
Some fans were quick to support Ariana, while others claimed it wasn’t exactly her childhood home. In a follow-up TikTok video posted Saturday, December 28, Ariana explained that, despite commenters’ thoughts, she’s simply “sad” about the way the family is “losing this house.”
“More so than that, it was just the fact of this is where I watched my little siblings grow up into the little humans that they are now, even though they’re all literally taller than me,” Ariana, who now lives in New York, explained. “These [rooms] are where I made such core memories at that house with my family. Like, I’ve lived there since I’m 11. That’s still my childhood home, like, da f—.”
She went on to say it was “upsetting” to spend one last Christmas in the home and pack up her bedroom.
“I also had that room in, like, two different houses,” she said. “That was my iconic room!”
Kim, 46, and Kroy, 39, who filed for divorce in May 2023 after 11 years of marriage, purchased the Milton, Georgia, property in 2012 — one year after they tied the knot. The house, which was featured prominently on their Bravo reality show Don’t Be Tardy, has seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a pool, a six-car garage, a movie theater, a home gym, and a resort-like backyard.
It was listed for $6 million last year, but put up for public auction in November and appeared on Fulton County’s foreclosure list earlier this month, per public records.
The public auction notice stated that the Alpharetta estate was scheduled to “sell at public outcry to the highest bidder for cash.”
Of the reported sale of the home, Ariana said in her TikTok video: “It’s a new chapter and, like I always say, we are all alive, happy, healthy, breathing, and that’s a blessing in itself. And I’m excited to see what this new chapter will bring for me and my family.”
Ariana Biermann
The real estate news comes weeks after authorities responded to a domestic violence call on November 27 from the Georgia residence.
According to a report from the Milton Police Department and obtained by TMZ, Kim said Kroy became physical in front of the pair’s children. It is unclear which kids allegedly witnessed an altercation between their parents.
Kim alleged that she and Kroy got into an argument while she was on a ladder taking down curtains. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum claimed that her ex got confrontational with her and things got physical. She alleged that the former football player physically removed her from the ladder and threw her to the ground.
Kim reportedly told law enforcement officers that she sustained injuries as a result of the alleged incident. However, the officers claimed in the report that she refused to provide any evidence of a physical injury to first responders. Kroy, for his part, claimed that Kim instigated the altercation and allegedly struck him in the face.
According to the report, law enforcement could not determine who the “primary aggressor” was and no arrests were made.
Kim, for her part, told TMZ on December 16 that her life has been “torture” with Kroy.
She told the outlet, “I think there’s a track record of Kroy being the problem. Nobody has any idea what I’ve dealt with the last two-and-a-half, three years of my life. I’m trying to take the high road.”
Kim added, “It’s gonna take me a long time to heal from this trauma I’ve experienced.”
It’s official: 2024 was the year when a lot of people realized celebrity kids were no longer, well, kids.
From the Jolie-Pitt brood to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s eldest daughter, Violet Affleck, and Kate Hudson’s son Ryder Robinson, the celebrity babies of yesteryear are now full-blown young adults making names for themselves.
Take Suri Cruise: the 18-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise graduated high school in June. She is now reportedly attending Carnegie Mellon University.
“I’m proud of my daughter,” Holmes, 46, told Town & Country magazine in August of being an empty nester. “Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy.”
For her birthday on December 18, Holmes shared a photo of a bouquet of purple roses seemingly sent to her by Suri. “I am so grateful for all of my blessings especially my daughter ,” the actress shared via Instagram Stories.
Below, see more celebrity kids who grew up this year:
Affleck and Garner’s 19-year-old daughter, Violet, has been stepping out on her own recently. After making a rare public appearance at a White House state dinner in 2022, she advocated for mask availability and free COVID-19 testing in front of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors in July.
"One in 10 infections leads to long COVID, which is a devastating neurological [and] cardiovascular illness that can take away people's ability to work, move, see and even think," she said. "To confront the long COVID crisis, I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers, and mask mandates in county medical facilities."
Violet ended her comments by opposing mask bans, saying, "They do not keep us safer, they make vulnerable members of our community less safe and make everyone less able to participate in Los Angeles together.”
She’s now a student at Yale University.
Suri was spotted attending her prom and graduating from high school in 2024 before she darted off to college in the fall.
"I remember being this age, this time of beginnings,” Holmes told Town & Country in August. “It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that.”
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s kids, Apple and Moses, are now 20 and 18, respectively. Apple is reportedly enrolled at Vanderbilt University, while Moses reportedly attends Brown.
Apple also made her debut into society at a grand debutante ball in Paris in December. Of Le Bal des Débutantes, her Coldplay frontman dad told Rolling Stone it’s “so not something I ever thought I’d do, but because I’m so in love with her, I’m like, ‘OK.’”
Martin also admitted that he likes his children “very much” before joking that “they’re not biologically” his.
“My favorite new thing to embarrass my son is, if we’re walking down the street and someone comes up to us and they say, ‘I’m sorry to disturb you while you’re with your son,’ I say, ‘That’s not my son. That’s my partner,’” Martin told the mag with a laugh.
Kate Hudson’s son Ryder, whose father is Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, turns 21 in January 2025. He is a student at New York University.
The actress recently opened up about writing the 2024 song “Live Forever” for her debut album, Glorious, which she composed when Ryder was getting ready to go off to college.
“I was like, ‘Oh, my God, my whole adult life I’ve had this incredible partner and now I have to say goodbye,’” she told CBS Sunday Morning of being 24 when she welcomed her first child. (Hudson also shares son Bingham, 13, with ex Matt Bellamy and daughter Rani Rose, 6, with fiancé Danny Fujikawa.) “So, that’s really all of the things I was thinking about for this song, like, you and I will be forever. Like, go and just thrive and take everything on. Have fun. And, I’m right here.”
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren‘s 16-year-old daughter looked all grown up in a photo Alba shared via Instagram on Thanksgiving.
“Happy Thanksgiving from me and mine to you and yours,” she captioned the post. “Sending lots of love and light.”
Alba shared that she and Honor started going to therapy together when her eldest child was 11 to figure out solutions to silly arguments.
“As her mother, when I say something, she’s going to hear it as an argument or as me trying to control her. I wanted there to be someone who could explain things in a way I couldn’t. What I said to Honor was, ‘I want to be a better parent to you, and this is your forum to basically talk about everything that gets on your nerves that I do,’” Jessica told Real Simple in January.
She continued: “It put me in check. Like, ‘Yeah, I totally do that. And I’m sorry. I’m going to work on that.’ It gave her a little bit of perspective too — that I’m not the bad guy; I’m just being a parent.”

And these kids have so much information, so much more than we had. They're thinking and talking about things and about life in a different way than I did when I was 15 or 16 years old."

Blake Livelywas supposed to host the season 50 premiere ofSaturday Night Livein September, but the drama surrounding the release of It Ends With Us allegedly led her to drop out.
In a lawsuit obtained by Us Weekly after it was reported by TMZ and The New York Times on Friday, December 20, Lively’s lawyers stated that she scored the hosting gig but decided to back out amid tension with her It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni.
“The effects on Ms. Lively’s professional life were immediate and substantial,” the actress’ lawyers wrote of an alleged smear campaign against her. “Given the ongoing nature of the campaign and the associated negative public sentiment, Ms. Lively did not believe she could proceed with public appearances or events without being forced to openly discuss what happened on set.”
“For example, Ms. Lively canceled a critical Target corporate event for her hair care company [Blake Brown Beauty], and she backed out of her scheduled role to host the premier episode of the 50th anniversary season of Saturday Night Live in September 2024,” the suit added. (Hacks star Jean Smart went on as the host instead.)
Lively’s lawyers alleged that the actress’ professional commitments were impacted by what they believe was a “multi-tiered plan” to destroy her reputation after she called a meeting to address “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior” by Baldoni, 40, and a producer on the film.
In the suit, Lively, 37, sued Baldoni for sexual harassment and claimed his public relations team orchestrated the campaign against her during the promotion of It Ends With Us this summer.
Justin Baldoni
“The emotional impact on Ms. Lively has been extreme, not only affecting her, but her family, including her husband and four children,” the complaint also alleged, referring to Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, and their kids: daughters James, 10, Inez, 8, and Betty, 5, and son Olin, 22 months.
In terms of the sexual harassment claims, Lively’s suit stated that she had to ask that Baldoni refrain from showing her videos of nude women and inquiring about her weight, as well as discussing his prior pornography addiction, his sexual exploits, and the cast and crew’s genitalia during filming.
The actress also requested that there not be any additional sex scenes added to the movie, which is about domestic violence, that were not in the original script.
Us reached out to Lively’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. In a statement to The New York Times regarding her lawsuit, Lively said, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, meanwhile, called Lively’s accusations “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” in a statement to Us, claiming that Lively filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about the film’s production.
Freedman further alleged that Lively made “multiple demands and threats” while filming It Ends With Us, including “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met.”
Tiger Woods made a rare appearance with both of his look-alike children at the PNC Championship at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando on Saturday, December 21.
Tiger, 48, played alongside his son Charlie Woods, 15, while his daughter, Sam Woods, 17, served as caddy. Their mother, Tiger’s ex-wife Elin Nordegren, was in the gallery during the tournament.
Tiger and the teens posed for photos on the green following the first round of competition. The tournament concludes Sunday after another 18-hole round.
“To be our here in this environment and to have fun like this – it doesn’t get any better,” Woods told NBC of sharing the course with his son. “This week is for each other, and we’re just rooting so hard for each of us to pull off each shot that we want.”
The PNC Championship provides a unique experience for pro golfers as they get to team up with a family member for the PGA Tour Champions-sanctioned event. According to ESPN, Tiger and Charlie ran off five straight birdies on the back nine on Saturday for a 13-under 59 in the scramble format, giving them a share of the lead after the opening round. They were joined at the top by the previous two champions — Bernhard Langer and son Jason, 24, and Vijay Singh and son Qass, 34.
“We’re trying to pull off each and every shot for each other, and to ham-and-egg,” Tiger said, according to the outlet. “And I think we did that great pretty much the entire day. We picked each other up, which was great. And Charlie made pretty much most of the putts today.”
Sam Woods and Tiger Woods
The PNC Championship is Tiger’s first competition since he underwent back surgery in September. At the event, he reportedly said he scheduled that surgery — the sixth on his lower back in the past 10 years — to be sure he recovered in time to play with Charlie for the fifth straight year.
Tiger also spoke to PGA Tour about Charlie’s blossoming golf career at Saturday’s tournament, saying his son has grown “3.5 to 4 inches in height” and has gotten “stronger, faster, heavier” since last year. He admitted they “needle” each other at home in a competitive spirit, but “it’s all love, that’s what it’s all about. I love him to death.”
Tiger also shared the advice he’s given his son to deal with the pressure of competing under the name “Woods.”
Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods
“I just always remind him ‘Just be you,’” Tiger said, according to CNN. “Charlie is Charlie. Yes, he’s my son, he’s gonna have that last name as part of the sport, but I just want him to just be himself, you know, and be your own person. That’s what we’ll always focus on, and we’ll always encourage it, for him just to carve his own name, to carve his own path and have his own journey.”
Ryan Reynolds had a jam-packed weekend in Wales with some of his best mates, including Channing Tatum, as his soccer club Wrexham AFC took on Cambridge United.
The actor, 48, and Tatum, 44, took in the match on Saturday, December 14, alongside other pals including It Ends With Us star Brandon Sklenar and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong.
“A few friends came out for @wrexham_afc and we made the most of it… unforgettable 36 hours made possible by the warmth and beauty of the people in this town. There’s nothing like it. ,” Reynolds wrote via Instagram, sharing photos from the weekend.
In the pictures, Reynolds posed at the game with his Deadpool & Wolverine costar Tatum, who also joined him at Wrexham pub The Fat Boar on Friday, December 13.
According to the BBC, the pair, as well as Sklenar, 34, snapped photos with fans at the bar and Reynolds took to the mic to wish customers a merry Christmas and offer to buy everybody a drink.
He joked: “If I don’t come visit each and everyone of you tonight in your homes, I just want to say happy holidays.”
Reynolds and Tatum have become close following their time filming Deadpool & Wolverine, in which Tatum plays Gambit — a Marvel character he’s been wanting to bring to life for years.
“Gambit is a guy Chan was born to play,” Reynolds wrote via Instagram in August. “His story is similar to my road on Deadpool — in that Chan spent a decade trying to put the most comic-accurate version of Gambit on the big screen. Remy LeBeau is grafted to his soul and needs to come out and deal. Some characters can only exist with a one in a billion pairing and this is it. Gambit found his author in Chan. He’s one of the coolest, smartest characters in Comics and still largely unexplored. I want more — and from what I saw in theaters, you do too.”
Channing Tatum and Ryan Reynolds
Reynolds continued: “Having the chance to say goodbye to some of these heroes is as important as having new characters to root for… and rooting for Gambit is easy. Rooting for Chan is even easier. He’s one of the greatest, hardest working, kindest people in this entire industry. I couldn’t be more thrilled to see @channingtatum pull Gambit from the dead and bring him to life at the perfect time and perfect way.”
Reynolds and Tatum watched Wrexham and Cambridge United’s match end in a 2-2 draw on Saturday, which will be tough for the team as their promotion rivals Wycombe Wanderers and Birmingham City both won, ESPN reported.
Wrexham, owned by Reynolds and fellow actor Rob McElhenney since 2020, have been flying high in their first season in English football’s third tier following back-to-back promotions. The docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, which follows the team, has had a significant impact on the club’s visibility and they have now secured a new global fanbase.
Recently, there were rumors that Reynolds and McElhenney, 47, were pulling back from the club after they sold stakes to the upstate New York-based Allyn family — providing more than $600 million in capital to continue revitalizing Wrexham. But Reynolds told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Friday that the actors will “remain majority owners.”
Channing Tatum and Ryan Reynolds
“The team is growing faster than anyone expected. There are needs that require a certain type of skill and people who have some experience in growing things. We chose the Allyn family because they have similar values that make Wrexham,” Reynolds said. “They’ve been revitalizing towns and communities for many years in upstate New York, and that’s why bringing them on didn’t cause a big stir.”
Scott Disickmade sure his son Mason’s 15th birthday was one to remember by gifting him his first car: a Mercedes-Benz “Mini” G-Class Wagon.

The Benz was parked next to Disick’s collection of luxury vehicles as he shared, “Gotta be the coolest little wagon I have ever seen! You deserve every inch of it! Love you more then [sic] anything in life.”
Disick also celebrated his youngest son Reign’s 10th birthday on Saturday. (Mason and Reign are both born on December 14.) The Kardashiansstar took Reign to the Los Angeles Rams’ Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills at SoFi Stadium on December 8.
“Had 2 much fun with you at your first game you asked me to take you to and I don’t even like sports,” Disick shared in another Instagram Story post, which featured a photo of the pair at the game. “That’s when you know you realy [sic] love your kid! Just kidding love u more then [sic] life young blood, happy bday son!”
Disick and Kardashian, 45, were together from 2006 to 2015 before officially calling it quits. The former couple now successfully coparent their kids alongside Kardashian’s husband, Travis Barker, with whom she shares 12-month-old son Rocky.
“My birthday boys. So special to me it hurts my heart,” Kourtney wrote on Instagram on Saturday alongside a carousel of throwback photos of Mason and Reign.
Her sisters Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian commented on the post.

I still can’t believe the two of you share the exact same birthday,” Jenner, 69, wrote. “What a special blessing that connects you forever. You are both so deeply loved, and I am endlessly grateful to God for choosing me to be your grandma.”
She continued: “Mason, you are so kind, creative, smart, talented, and the best brother, son, grandson, cousin and friend. Watching you grow up and become such a caring and wonderful young man is pure magic—you make us all so proud. Reign, you bring so much energy, laughter, and joy wherever you go. Your inquisitive mind and vibrant personality light up every room. You’re smart, funny, and full of so much love, and I feel blessed to witness the amazing little person you’re becoming. You fill my life with so much pride and happiness, and I love you both with every bit of my heart and soul. I’m so proud of the incredible boys you are and excited for the amazing futures you both have ahead of you! .”
For the Saturday, December 14, episode, Rock, 59, addressed the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and his suspected killer, Luigi Mangione, with some controversial jokes. The fourth-time host reacted to the situation toward the beginning of his monologue, saying that the media seems fixated on Mangione’s looks instead of the alleged crime.
“We got Luigi. You know, and that’s good,” Rock told the live audience. “I really feel sorry for the family. Everybody’s fixated on how good-looking this guy looks. If he looked like Jonah Hill, no one would care. They’d already given him the chair already — he’d be dead.”
Rock continued: “But he actually killed a man — a man with a family, a man with kids. I have condolences. I have real condolences for the healthcare CEO. This is a real person, you know? But you also got to go, ‘You know, sometimes drug dealers get shot.’”
“I mean, you’ve seen The Wire, right?” Rock quipped.
Mangione, 26, was arrested on gun charges in Pennsylvania on Monday, December 9, and will later be extradited to New York to face charges in connection to Thompson’s December 4 death at 50. Mangione’s attorney said he intends to plead not guilty and wants to examine the evidence, according to CBS News.
Thompson was in New York for an annual UnitedHealthcare investors meeting when he was killed. He is survived by his wife, Paulette, and their two sons.
Rock wasn’t the only person to take on the CEO’s death and Mangione’s online notoriety on SNL this week. The cold open featured cast member Sarah Sherman spoofing crime commentator Nancy Grace as she addressed the public reaction to the arrest of Mangione.
“And of course, everyone online celebrated the hard work of law enforcement in apprehending this dangerous criminal,” 31-year-old Sherman, as Grace, said. “Just kidding, y’all psychos made him a sex symbol.”
She continued: “That’s right, the healthcare assassin Luigi Mangione has got women and gay guys alike hot and bothered.”
Sherman was joined by fellow cast member Kenan Thompson for the skit, who played a character in the Pennsylvania McDonald’s where Mangione was arrested.
“Well, Nancy, I’ve been eating McDonald’s every day for three years,” Kenan said. “I got Type 10 diabetes. Blue Cross? Bitch, I got blue foot. You know what my health insurance plan is called? Hoping it goes away.”
Sherman’s character also asked Kenan if he thought people were actually attracted to Mangione.
“Well, I mean, you can look at him and tell he had h—,” Thompson said. “I mean, women love bad boys.”
Colin Jost also mentioned Mangione on “Weekend Update,” poking fun at his arrest and future in the news.
“This week, America continued the delicate, sensitive debate over who will play this guy in the Netflix miniseries,” he began as a picture of Mangione flashed on the screen. “After police arrested suspected CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, they found a note on him expressing anger at corporate America. Yet he went to Starbucks before the shooting and then was caught at McDonald’s. So perhaps his greatest crime was hypocrisy. The McDonald’s where the shooter got caught has been getting one-star Yelp reviews to punish them for snitching. First of all, who looks at Yelp reviews of McDonald’s? The only Yelp review of McDonald’s should be, ‘Was open. Five stars.’”
As a throwback photo of Jost as a nerdy high school appeared, the coanchor said: “Everyone who went to high school with the alleged shooter said they were shocked that he could become an assassin. Whereas everyone I went to high school with was shocked I didn’t.”

Brandi Glanville is silencing rumors about the health issues she’s been facing this year.
After posting a video via Instagram earlier this week declaring she’s back on Cameo, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 52, shared a selfie via X Saturday, December 7, clarifying that her health struggles were still ongoing.
“Guys this is an old cameo! I used it to promote that I’m back on after a year-plus hiatus. Let me share what I look like & why I had to take a pause… check next post & f—ing suck it haters,” Glanville claimed.
In her follow-up post, she wrote, “Sick it!” alongside a selfie that seemingly showed a skin issue. After sharing the photo, she added, “What happened? I wish I knew I’ve been in &out of the hospital this passed year 1/2 spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out. Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it’s stress-induced edema. I personally say it’s Bravo.”
Glanville announced on Thursday, December 5, that she was back on Cameo after taking a break to focus on her health. Earlier this year, she revealed that she had to take a break from work to deal with “stress-induced” angioedema, which causes swelling in the deeper layers of the skin, often around the eyes, lips, or cheeks, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In July, Glanville threatened to sue Bravo for allegedly causing stress-induced symptoms, sharing that she hasn’t been able to record new episodes of her podcast, “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered,” because of her being unwell. While it is unclear what “stress” Glanville was referring to, her post also claimed she was “being used as a fallguy.” Glanville also said she has “receipts 4days” regarding the unspecified matter.
“I’ve been left no choice but to sue Bravo,” she wrote via X in July. “This stress has ruined my health. I have uncontrollable stress induced angio-edema I haven’t worked for a year … to [sic] depressed to do my podcast.”
Glanville was also unable to remain on Cameo, claiming that she was “to [sic] swollen 4cameo or OF [Only Fans].”
The former Real Housewife joined Cameo in 2019, which coincided with the beginning of her second stint on RHOBH, and joined OnlyFans in July 2023. She revealed on her podcast in February that OnlyFans “saved” her “life” after she failed to earn an income for six months. (Glanville appeared as a main Housewife on RHOBH seasons 3 through 5 before returning in season 9.)
Brandi Glanville
Glanville has also faced a tumultuous period of late after she was accused of sexually harassing Caroline Manzo during the January 2023 filming of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 4 in Morocco.
Although Glanville was not listed as a defendant in Manzo’s lawsuit, Glanville’s legal team responded in a statement at the time, telling Us, “Sadly, Brandi had to wake up to yet another lawsuit that includes defamatory, false accusations about her. While filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault. She is innocent of these absurd accusations that have weighed on her mental and physical health for far too long without a word of support from Peacock, Shed or Bravo.”
The ruby slippers from 1939’s The Wizard of Oz are now the most expensive piece of film memorabilia in history.
The shoes, worn by Judy Garland as Dorothy in the beloved film, sold at auction in Dallas for $28 million — $32.5 million including taxes and fees — on Saturday, December 7, Heritage Auctions announced. They are now considered the most valuable piece of movie memorabilia.
One of four surviving pairs worn by Garland in the classic film, the slippers sold for vastly more than the $10 million that the auction house’s executive vice president, Joe Maddalena, initially anticipated. The auction house did not immediately disclose the identity of the buyer.
“There is simply no comparison between Judy Garland’s ruby slippers and any other piece of Hollywood memorabilia,” Maddalena said in a press release. “The breathtaking result reflects just how important movies and movie memorabilia are to our culture and to collectors. It’s been a privilege for all of us at Heritage to be a part of the slippers’ epic journey over the rainbow and off to a new home.”
The record-breaking ruby slippers were famously stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, in the summer of 2005 and recovered 13 years later by the FBI. They were returned to owner Michael Shaw earlier this year before he handed them over to Heritage for inclusion in the December 7 Heritage’s Hollywood/Entertainment Signature Auction, which drew more than 1,800 bidders worldwide.

The single pair of shoes helped Heritage set the record for an entertainment auction: $38,615,188. That shatters the $22.8 million realized during the 2011 Debbie Reynolds auction held by Maddalena.
The sale was also the largest sum spent at an auction for a piece of entertainment memorabilia, exceeding the previous record-holder, Marilyn Monroe’s subway dress from the 1955 film The Seven Year Itch, which sold in 2011 for $5.52 million with fees, the auction house said.

During the auction, which was reportedly peppered with Wicked and Wizard of Oz references and puns, the auctioneer excitedly held a crouching position à la the Wicked Witch of the West as he pointed to bidders around the room.
The auction also featured other pieces of Wizard of Oz memorabilia, including a Wicked Witch of the West hat worn by the actress Margaret Hamilton, which sold for nearly $3 million, the auction house said.
Other items that were included in the auction: producer Mervyn LeRoy’s copy of the script from the MGM art department, which sold for $50,000; the screen door from Dorothy’s Kansas home, which sold for $37,500; Garland’s “Dorothy Gale” wig from the first week of shooting, which earned $30,000; and the MGM contract signed by “Over the Rainbow” songwriters Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, which sold at a final price of $23,125.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted spending some quality time together over the weekend after enjoying Thanksgiving as a family.
Affleck, 52, was photographed in the driver’s seat of a car with Garner, 52, hopping in the passenger side after picking up some bagels on Saturday, December 7. The exes reportedly had breakfast together and then headed out for a drive in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood before heading to Affleck’s home.
The former couple — who share children Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — recently spent Thanksgiving as a a family, teaming up to help feed the unhoused community with charity organization Midnight Mission on November 28. Their kids joined them in their efforts to give back to the less fortunate.
Affleck and Garner have maintained an amicable coparenting relationship following their divorce nearly a decade ago. The duo were married from 2005 to 2015 before finalizing their divorce in 2018. Affleck went on to marry Jennifer Lopez in 2022, but the pair split earlier this year. Garner has been dating businessman John Miller since 2018.
In 2020, Affleck reflected on his divorce from Garner, calling it “the biggest regret of my life” in an interview with The New York Times. “Shame is really toxic,” he said at the time. “There is no positive byproduct of shame. It’s just stewing in a toxic, hideous feeling of low self-worth and self-loathing.”
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
He added, “I have certainly made mistakes. I have certainly done things that I regret. But you’ve got to pick yourself up, learn from it, learn some more, try to move forward.”
Garner has been a pillar of support for her ex-husband during some turbulent times, including his recent divorce from Lopez, 55.
“Ben and Jennifer are friends, and they have a great coparenting relationship,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in August. The pair have a “mutual understanding that their kids come first,” the insider noted, adding that the exes “also get along really well.”
“There’s a deep level of trust and respect between them,” the source continued. “[Affleck] has confided in Jen in a lot of ways… especially lately when things with J.Lo haven’t been so great in recent months.”
During an interview on Molly Sims and Emese Gormley’s “Lipstick on the Rim” podcast last month, Garner shared some insightful pieces of advice that her mom, Pat, gave her. One anecdote stood out: “Don’t marry a man thinking you can change him.”
In a tongue-in-cheek, self-aware manner, a laughing Garner stated that she is going to “really work on that one.”
Murphy’s son Eric Murphy and Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin Lawrence announced their engagement on Saturday, November 30, by sharing a touching Instagram video of the proposal.
“11.27.2024 We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter ,” Jasmin, 28, captioned the post. “Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful!!”
In the video, the pair, in matching black ensembles, walked down an aisle of flower petals and stood in front of a giant red heart filled with butterflies and surrounded by candles. Eric, 35, then got down on one knee and proposed to Jasmin with a gorgeous ring. “It’s beautiful,” she said before they sealed the engagement with a kiss.
Jasmin also reshared photos and videos to her Instagram Stories, with her friend Skylar Smith writing, “MY SISTER IS ENGAGED!!! So excited to spread the news that our family is getting BIGGER! The emotions caught in this picture explain it all. I am so HAPPY for @jasmin_lawrence & @ericmurphy777 !!!! I aspire to have a love as special as yours! I love you both immensely!! LETS GET YALL MARRIED,” Smith, 21, wrote, with Jasmin responding, “We love you so much!!!”
Eric, who is Eddie’s oldest son with his ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely, and Jasmin, Martin’s first child with ex-wife Patricia Southall, have been dating since 2021. Eddie, 63, is also the father to nine other children and Martin, 59, also has two younger daughters with ex-wife Shamicka Gibbs.
Eddie and Martin have been friends and costars for years, appearing in the 1993 romantic comedy Boomerang together when Eric, born in 1989, was just a toddler. Then, they worked on the Oscar-nominated film Life in 1999 when Jasmin, who was born in 1996, was a preschooler.
Eddie was also among the guests at Martin’s 2010 wedding to Gibbs. In 2019, the twosome reunited for some selfies as they filmed Coming 2 America and the third Bad Boys movie at the same time in Atlanta.
Oddly enough, it wasn’t Eddie and Martin who initially introduced their now-engaged children.
“My uncle actually introduced us, it wasn’t even our dads,” Jasmin, an actress, told In Touch in 2022. “And they’ve done two movies together. They’re friends. It’s crazy. We met through my uncle and became really good friends. We bonded [over] a lot of things. Obviously, we have similar backgrounds so we understood each other on a certain level, and over time it just became more.”
“We thought it was cool,” Eddie told Gayle King of his son and Martin’s daughter getting together. “They’re both beautiful. They look amazing together. And it’s funny [because] everybody [asks], ‘What, is that baby going to be funny?’”
He continued, “Just our gene pool is going to make this funny baby. If they ever get married and have a child, I’m expecting the child to be funny.”
Angelina Jolie would choose her family over fame in an instant.
The actress, 49, said motherhood is “everything” to her during an interview with The Sunday Times, published on December 1. While discussing her starring role in Pablo Larraín’s Maria Callas biopic, Maria, Jolie insisted that she’s lucky enough to not be as lonely as the world-renowned opera singer, who died at the age of 53 in 1977.
“I don’t feel that [loneliness] because I have family,” Jolie said. “Maria didn’t have a family, so her work was everything. My work is not everything. Being a parent is everything.”
Jolie shares six children — Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — with Brad Pitt, whom she split from in 2016. Amid allegations of abuse, at least two of the couple’s kids, Vivienne and Shiloh, have dropped Pitt’s surname.
Jolie said she is “grateful this film gave me a time to stop and learn and listen and appreciate,” mentioning that her sons Maddox and Pax — whom she adopted from Cambodia and Vietnam, respectively — worked on Maria as production assistants.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
It allowed them to see their mom at work and also understand Callas’ dynamic with those around her. “They were able to consider the relationships in the film and the violence — things that sometimes you don’t have the opportunity to discuss with your sons, so I felt fortunate,” Jolie admitted.
She recently spoke about her love of parenthood in an interview with Good Morning America, in which she told host Michael Strahan that it’s her “happiness.”
“You can take everything else away from me. Nothing else matters,” she insisted.
Jolie also said none of her children want to follow in their parents’ footsteps when it comes to appearing on the big screen.
“None of my children want to be in front of the camera at this time. They’re quite private. Shiloh’s extremely private,” she said. “They weren’t born with privacy, right? So I hope they can have that as they grow.”
Jolie and Pitt, 60, known as “Brangelina,” captured the attention of many after sparking up a romance in 2005 amid his divorce from Jennifer Aniston. They raised their children together and supported each other’s careers for years before tying the knot in August 2014 at their Château Miraval estate — now a site of contention following their split.
A judge tentatively ruled on Monday, November 25, that Pitt must turn over documents and communications that Jolie claims will prove he covered up alleged domestic violence against her and their children.
“We are gratified that the court ruled in Angelina’s favor,” Jolie’s attorney Paul Murphy exclusively told Us Weekly in a statement on Tuesday, November 26. “After Mr. Pitt fought for years to hide this crucial evidence, he must now produce documents and communications concerning abuse, lies to authorities, and years of cover-up. His actions harmed Angelina and their children and are central to this case.”
“I want to again emphasize that Angelina never wanted any of this,” the statement continued. “She never pressed charges, she left all their properties, and she is the one who tried to sell him the business in the first place. To this day, Mr. Pitt has never been held accountable for his actions and has at all times controlled Miraval and the winery, yet he still demands more.”
The statement concluded: “She wants this to end, the children want this to end, and Mr. Pitt should focus on healing their family, not pursuing lawsuits. If he does not, Angelina will defend herself in court by presenting the evidence necessary to demonstrate that Pitt’s allegations are demonstrably false.”
In July, Jolie filed court documents claiming that the actor tried to force her to sign an $8.5 million NDA to cover up “years of abuse.” Her legal team asked that the court compel Pitt to disclose “private, third-party communications” he had about their family’s 2016 plane ride that resulted in Jolie filing for divorce and alleging child abuse.
Pitt was later cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.
Jolie argued in the July docs that she “was not acting with malice and the intent to hurt Pitt in response to any custody ruling” when she sold her share of Château Miraval in 2021.
She claimed it was Pitt who “refused to buy her interest unless he received his newly expanded NDA,” she alleged in the filing, claiming that it was designed to “force her silence about his abuse and cover-up.”
Pitt’s career has continued to flourish despite the legal battle. He has not, however, had much contact with his children, who reside with Jolie.
“Sadly, Brad doesn’t have much of a relationship with his kids,” a source told Us. “He’s not ready to give up on them, but knowing they are dropping his name is upsetting.”
Added another source: “Brad’s putting on a brave face, but behind closed doors, he’s finding it extremely difficult to come to terms with [what’s happening].”
