JENNIFER GARNER IS J.LO AND BEN’S MARRIAGE COUNSELOR

Jennifer Lopez has an unexpected ally during her marriage crisis to Ben Affleck – his ex-wife Jennifer Garner! While J.Lo and Ben are working to figure out their future, an insider reveals Garner has offered her support to BOTH, encouraging them to make their marriage work. The former Alias actress has been divorced from Ben since 2018, (she’s happily dating businessman John Miller) so she KNOWS what it’s like to be married to Ben. She also knows Lopez has been a positive factor in his life, and the life of the kids. Garner’s biggest fear is that Ben will fall off the wagon and spiral out of control again if his marriage to Lopez disintegrates, so she’s actively encouraging them to stick it out.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Hi Readers,
We are going to try something new. As a one-woman operation, writing this website is a time-consuming task. We hear a lot of great gossip but don’t have the staff and resources of other websites like TMZ, so they occasionally break the story first. That doesn’t mean we don’t have some exclusive details, so we are going to call this weekly feature, HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW. As the title implies, we will update you on what we know about items you might read elsewhere. Just because we didn’t write it first, doesn’t mean we don’t have some good tea to share! So here we go:

Everyone is talking about Tish Cyrus stealing her husband Dominic (Prison Break) Purcell from her daughter, Noah. Here’s what we know… Noah WAS casually dating Dominic before Tish hooked up with him, but the gals were already estranged before the betrayal. Noah and her mom Tish have been on the outs over Billy Ray Cyrus. Noah is a daddy’s girl and took his side when Tish finally pulled the plug on the marriage. On the other hand, Noah’s big sister Miley sided with her mom, and is now estranged from Billy Ray…

Kayne West is back to posting direct pleas to his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian on social media. His latest one urged her to take their kids out of what he calls “system school” (which some took to be leaning into antisemitism.) We DO know that Kim called a meeting with lawyers since the social media post apparently violated their custody agreement by naming the school where the kids are enrolled. Huge safety concern for Kim – so she’s using this an ammunition to get full custody. We will keep you posted.

Finally, Stephen Baldwin raised concerns about the state of his daughter Hailey’s marriage to Justin Bieber when he asked fans and his social media followers to pray for the couple. Here’s what we know: We already told you the marriage was in trouble and that the couple were in therapy and spending time apart. This time we beat the other websites in revealing this, so we will say it again, WE TOLD YA SO!

THE TRUTH ABOUT HAILEY AND JUSTIN BIEBER’S MARRIAGE

As rumors swirl that their marriage is on the rocks, here’s what we are hearing about Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey:  While it’s true they’ve been going through a rough patch – which our source attributes to Justin’s mood swings and depression – they ARE  in therapy working on their relationship. As part of their treatment they’ve been spending time APART with Hailey holed up in their Beverly Hills mansion, and Justin spending more time at their home outside of Palm Springs at the posh development, The Madison Club. When they are together it’s for events like the Super Bowl. While this can change on a dime, for now our source predicts they will both fight to save their marriage…

KIM KARDASHIAN’S PAST MIGHT COME BACK TO HAUNT HER

Kim Kardashian is bracing for a blast from her past! Kim’s second husband, former basketball player, Kris Humphries, has remained relatively quiet about their short lived 2011 marriage although he briefly touched on the subject during a 2019 essay for The Players Tribune, an online forum devoted to professional athletes. Aside from that, Kris has pretty much remain tight lipped – until now! According to an insider, Kris is secretly working on his memoir and plans to devote more than a few chapters to everything Kardashian. My source says that Kim is already aware of this and she is NOT thrilled. Kim has kept quiet about the courtship, wedding, and breakup, so obviously she doesn’t want her dirty laundry to be aired – especially now that she’s browsing for hubby number 4!

KATY PERRY WANTS HER DISASTROUS MARRIAGE TO RUSSELL BRAND ERASED FROM HISTORY

NOW we know the reason why Katy Perry and her baby daddy Orlando Bloom aren’t married yet – she’s waiting for her first marriage to Russell Brand to be annulled so she can marry Orlando in a Catholic Church! Katy has been trying to annul her 14-month marriage to Russell ever since he asked for a divorce in December 2011, but the process can be long and arduous. Since Brand was accused of rape and sexual assault by four women, Katy is in a BIGGER hurry. According to my source, Katy is FINALLY close to getting the ill-fated marriage scrubbed from her record, and she will marry Orlando before the ink is dry on those annulment papers.

CHRIS APPLETON AND LUKAS GAGE: TROUBLE IN PARADISE?

Marriage problems ALREADY for newlyweds celebrity hairstylist, Chris Appleton and his husband White Lotus season one star Lukas Gage? The two rushed into marriage, eloping to Las Vegas on Kim Kardashian’s private jet, just a few months after hooking up. But now their initial infatuation has cooled and their 12-year age difference is becoming a thing. Our source says that the couple have off the charts romantic chemistry and might have mistaken passion for true love. They really didn’t know one another and are discovering they don’t have much in common outside the bedroom! They’re determined to try to make this work, so they’re in therapy, but at least one friend predicts this hasty marriage is doomed…

LIEV SCHREIBER CHOSE THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY

Liev Schreiber couldn’t be happier- after seven years of dating and a recent quiet marriage, he and Taylor Neisen are expecting a baby.  He was with Naomi Watts  for ten years and had two children, but they had a “modern relationship” and never married. (Like Goldie and Kurt) Consequently, when they decided to split and go their separate ways in 2016, there was no messy divorce and they remain friends, raising their kids together. Interesting that both he and Naomi chose the old fashioned way and both MARRIED their current partners (She’s with Billy Crudup)  So much for “modern”relationships…

DONALD’S INDICTED AND MELANIA’S CASHING IN !

Donald Trump was just indicted in an alleged $130,000 hush money payment to his rumored mistress, Stormy Daniels, but his wife Melania might have just hit the jackpot. An insider reveals that after Donald lost the presidential election, Melania quickly renegotiated her marital contract with Donald, since at the time she was contemplating leaving him. Not only did she get a bigger slice of his wealth in case of death or divorce, but she also had the foresight to include a clause that if he was ever charged with a crime or caught having an affair she gets even MORE to stick around! Long story short, a bad day for Donald might be a financial windfall for Melania.

THEY SAID IT WOULDN’T LAST

Two years BEFORE Maxwell Caulfield starred in the 1982 movie Grease II with Michelle Pfeiffer, he married actress Juliet Mills. He was 21 and she was 39. She had two children from two previous marriages. It was quite surprising at the time. Against all odds, their marriage has lasted and the UK born couple settled in the US and continued acting. Whether the early marriage affected Maxwell’s career as a hot young hunk is not known, but he never found the fame and fortune that his costar Michelle Pfeiffer enjoyed. Top photo above, Maxwell and Juliet turned up at the TCM Classic Film Festival opening night at the Chinese Theater- still together after all these years…

JENNIFER ANISTON: WHAT WERE THE SAD MEMORIES THE FRIENDS REUNION BROUGHT BACK?

Jennifer Aniston surprised everyone when she revealed that filming the Friends Reunion was NOT EASY for her. She said it brought back a lot of memories that were not necessarily good. In fact it was the “hardest time of her life.” At one point she even had to walk off camera to compose herself. She explained that the reunion reminded her about what was going on in her life at that time. She didn’t explain- but we CAN. Jennifer’s marriage to Brad Pitt was unravelling and she desperately wanted it to work. (Brad has admitted he became a couch potato- smoking and drinking too much) Remember when Jennifer’s character Rachel on Friends became pregnant? That script was written because Jen WAS pregnant in real life -and eventually had a miscarriage. Being reminded of the loss of her marriage and child was not easy for Jennifer…
