Anderson Cooper and his ex-boyfriend, Benjamin Maisani, are co-parenting two children who live with the journalist. Cooper lives with his children in the fire station he converted into a home.

On February 10, 2022, Anderson Cooper announced the birth of his second child on the “Anderson Cooper 360” program. The CNN anchor shares the boy with his former longtime partner and best friend, Benjamin Maisani.

The duo are also parents to their first son, whom they had welcomed two years prior. Benjamin is a businessman who decided to open his “Eastern Bloc” bar after working at one, and he built relationships with celebrities at his establishment.

While it’s unclear if Anderson used to visit the bar, his friend Andy Cohen was reportedly a frequent customer there. Benjamin and Anderson, who had been together for years, welcomed their second child in 2022. In his announcement about his new son, Anderson introduced him by stating:

“This is Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper. He was 6.8 pounds at birth, and he’s healthy and happy, even his occasional hiccups are to me adorable. He mostly just sleeps, and eats and poops, but he already seems like a wise and thoughtful little champ.”

The co-parent also took the time to thank the nurses and doctors who helped bring the little boy into the world. Anderson also showed gratitude to the surrogate who carried his second son.

He thanked the woman and her family for their sacrifices and the love they gave Sebastian over the past year. It wasn’t the first time the television personality announced the birth of his children on air.

After welcoming his first son, Wyatt Morgan Cooper, Anderson took to CNN to reveal he had become a father. On February 25, 2022, Anderson was interviewed on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” where he updated viewers about how Wyatt was bonding with Sebastian, saying:

“They seem to be getting along really well. I mean, ‘Getting along well’ — Sebastian sleeps. He can’t say Sebastian yet, he calls him Luke. So every morning he wants to go say ‘Good morning, Luke.'”

After Sebastian’s birth, Anderson took three weeks off to be with his newborn son by taking paternity leave. Speaking with Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa before taking the break, he shared how he was enjoying the time with his boys, noting:

“It’s great to be able to come home and decompress.”

The father of two also revealed his nightly bonding routine with Wyatt, saying, “And every night to be able to feed Wyatt and give him his milk, he falls asleep on my chest, and there’s nothing better.”

Anderson and the boys also have a morning routine. They go to the diner every morning, and Wyatt and Sebastian love to take a swim. The proud parent enjoys preparing his sons for their afternoon nap by sitting and reading to them until they fall asleep in his arms.

Wyatt and Sebastian also play well together and even use some of their famous dad’s old toys — that he used to play with his brother. Anderson said seeing her sons’ relationship with each other is “incredible” to witness.

Benjamin, a property and nightclub owner, started co-parenting with Anderson when Wyatt was born. The news anchor explained that he would co-parent with his ex even though they weren’t dating anymore, adding, “We’re a family.”

He revealed in an interview that their co-parenting relationship is effortless. When he goes to work at night, Benjamin looks after the kids. They both wake up right before the boys do, get them their milk, and then spend the first few hours of the day with them. According to Anderson, Benjamin speaks French with their sons.

Anderson clarified that he and Benjamin would bring up little Sebastian, saying, “We’re co-parents. We’re a family.” Benjamin was already legally adopting their first child, who calls him “papa.”

The older boy gave the television personality the title of “daddy.” When the adoption is finalized, Wyatt’s last name will be changed to incorporate both parents, Maisani-Cooper, like Sebastian’s.

In a September 2023 interview, the 56-year-old famed broadcaster gushed about being a father, saying, “This is the best time in my life. There is no doubt about it.”

Anderson’s Relationship & Co-parenting with Benjamin Maisani

Anderson and Benjamin started seeing each other in 2009, went public with the relationship in 2015, and revealed they’d broken up in 2018. The couple might not be in a relationship anymore, but they were so well bonded that the star announced:

“Maisani is going to be a co-parent to Wyatt even though we’re not together anymore. He’s my family, and I want him to be Wyatt’s family as well.”

In September 2021, Anderson got candid about the strange co-parenting arrangement between him and his ex. He confessed that it worked for them and Wyatt, noting:

“It’s probably an unusual setup, but I knew he would be a great dad, and he is. We’re exes, but we’re family to each other, and we love each other as family and as co-parents.”

The author regularly shares updates on his older son and once revealed his frustration when he missed Wyatt’s first steps. However, Benjamin rarely updates but once said his ex changed when Wyatt was born, and Anderson explained their co-parenting arrangement, stating:

“I’ve always believed that if you’ve been with somebody and that ends, in terms of an intimate relationship, if you love somebody, there’s no reason why that love shouldn’t continue.”

In February 2021, during a “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” interview, Anderson confessed to host Ellen DeGeneres that he and Benjamin once wanted different things to start a family. The star elaborated:

“It’s interesting, because he wasn’t really sure he wanted to have a kid—which is one of the reasons we probably broke up—but then, he came around to the idea. Now he is such a great parent.”

Inside Anderson’s Firehouse, Where He Lives with His Kids

On June 9, 2020, Anderson gave People a tour of the home that he converted from a fire station. Viewers saw his first son’s nursery, with its central theme, blue, featuring throughout the space.

The nursery was still in progress, and some photos hadn’t been hung up. One painting, done by Anderson’s late mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, of herself and the star’s late father, whom Wyatt was named after, was featured on one side of the room.

Another image showed Anderson’s handprint when he was a child. One corner of the room had lots of stuffed animals that once belonged to the doting dad, while the blue wallpaper had a beetle design, and a paper mache cupid was hung up above the baby’s white crib.

Anderson explained that he wanted all the items in his son’s room to have personal history and significance. A changing area and a picture of Benjamin and his sister, when they were younger, were added to the room.

In 2015, David Beckham and Kevin Hart shot an H&M campaign in Anderson’s home.

In September 2018, the “60 Minutes” corre­spondent indirectly showed his house off to The Hollywood Reporter while spending three days with the publication. The star lived with Lilly, his Welsh springer spaniel, and he and Benjamin had broken up earlier that year.

Anderson spent years restoring it and installing an elevator. At the same time, the second floor has a salon with taxidermy and Old Master paintings, plus hand-painted signs that he collected during trips to Cuba and Africa.

The West Village home has a kitchen island, and the living room features a side table adorned with a Victorian calendar that he found in his mother’s bedroom. It has the date July 22, 1988, which is the day his brother, Carter Cooper, died by suicide at 23 in their mom’s apartment.

Including his great-great-grandfather’s Civil War commissioning notice, the star’s personal artifacts are also featured in the home. A photo by his late friend, Tim Hetherington, shows a younger Anderson in Afghanistan.

Another item that stood out in his home was an 18th-century Italian marble, Memento Mori. The firehouse, built in 1906, was renovated by architect Cary Tamarkin with the 20th-century Beaux-Arts building’s interiors.

In 2015, David Beckham and Kevin Hart shot an H&M campaign in Anderson’s home. The advert allowed fans to view Anderson’s beautiful home, showing off its living room, gym, roof terrace, and one of his bedrooms.

Anderson lost his mom in 2019 at 95. Long before her death, he had also lost his brother a decade after their dad died from a heart attack in 1978. After avoiding the grieving process for many years, he finally decided to face it head-on.

He did so on his podcast, “All There Is With Anderson Cooper,” and interviewed actress Molly Shannon, who opened up about her grief. “It has certainly made me feel less alone,” Anderson said of his podcast.

  • Zac Efron, who fell in love with acting at a very young age, has had a physical transformation over the years that has been fascinating to witness.
  • In the past, the actor has struggled with various ailments.
  • When they thought Zac had surgery, netizens criticized his looks, but he explained what happened before.
Zac Efron set tongues wagging again after he appeared to look different in a new movie. Many social media users thought the star had plastic surgery behind the scenes. But the truth behind his new look is much more serious. Here’s a quick look at his background and childhood.

The actor, born on October 18, 1987, grew up in Arroyo Grande, California, and got into acting at 11 when his parents noticed he could sing. His acting and singing lessons led to his role in a “Gypsy” production that got him hooked on the craft.

Zachary David Alexander Efron, known as Zac Efron, was born to Starla Baskett and David Efron, in San Luis Obispo, California. His mother worked as a secretary while her husband was an electrical engineer.

Zac soon landed on-stage roles in “Auntie Mame,” “The Music Man,” “Little Shop of Horrors,” and “Peter Pan.” The next step was getting guest parts on television series. Some people might recall seeing him in 1994’s “ER,” 2001’s “The Guardian,” 2002’s “CSI: Miami” and “Firefly,” and 2003’s “NCIS.”

He’s also appeared in 2003’s “The Big Wide World of Carl Laemke.” Here is a breakdown of his looks over the years. When he got older, fans noticed that something was different about him. Let’s see the progression up until the big change.

In 2004, Zac was in his late teens and was seen out and about at various Hollywood events. Some of his works that came out in 2004 included “Triple Play” and “Miracle Run.” Here are some of the events he attended that year.

On February 9, 2006, Zac posed as part of the Stars of the Disney Channel during an appearance at Splashlight Studios in New York City. Unlike most of his older pictures, this time the actor wasn’t smiling and his jaw still looked the same.

In June 2006, Zac graduated from Arroyo Grande High School. He became well-known when he starred in 2006’s “High School Musical,” winning a Teen Choice Award for Breakout Star. Two months later, he looked different while attending the 58th Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards at the Shrine Auditorium.

On June 6, 2010, Zac looked more like what his fans know him like but without the jaw injury. He looked dapper and stylish at the MTV Movie Awards at the Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal Studios.

The event was held in Universal City, California. The actor’s mustache was visible and he went tie-less with an open shirt and suit. That year he appeared in “Charlie St. Cloud.” When he was seen again in 2011, Zac had cut his hair even shorter.

The celebrity started 2011 with a new look and new accolades. He showed off his makeover when he posed for a portrait during the 2011 People’s Choice Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live. Zac had won the Favorite Movie Star Under 25 award.

He’d started allowing his beard to grow and wore a suit, tie, and scarf. In 2012, he starred in “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax.” His jaw didn’t look different the following year when he was seen at an event.

Zac Efron in 2013

On September 6, 2013, Zac’s hair had grown more and styled differently, and the mustache and beard were gone. He showed off his new look at the Tiff Film Festival for “Parkland” at The Roy Thomson Hall Theatre.

The star looked handsome and smokey at the event held in Toronto, Canada. In 2014, the actor attended an occasion where he stripped off his shirt and showed off his muscles.

Zac Efron in 2014

On January 21, 2014, Zac started the year by appearing on season 63 of the “Today” show. His appearance looked normal as did his chin. That same year, he also starred in “Neighbors.”

The awards were held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on April 13, 2014, in Los Angeles, California. The following years were tough on the actor who struggled with medical problems.

Zac Efron in 2016 and 2017

In one article, Zac opened up about some of the health issues he battled between 2016 and 2017. Besides living a life where he had to take diuretics, at one point, the actor was eating the same three meals daily. He also wasn’t getting enough sleep and was overtraining.

If filming finished at midnight, the star would wake up at 4 a.m. to exercise. Before shooting 2017’s “Baywatch,” the actor who appeared in 2016’s “Dirty Grandpa” was excited about doing the action franchise, but the recovery from it was tough.

The actor confessed and warned others that getting a “Baywatch” body was devastating, and the ill effects of his training lasted long. He admitted to developing insomnia and then becoming depressed for a “long time.” Zac said something about working on the movie “burned” him out.

He struggled to recenter himself and blamed what went wrong on taking too many diuretics for a long period. Only six months after he wrapped filming did he finally start feeling like himself. In 2018, Zac started growing his facial hair again and by the end of the year, he was rocking a mustache and beard.

In January 2018, Zac looked all grown with his facial hair. He sported his new look while attending the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

This time he wore a dark suit and a black bow tie. At the end of the year, the actor shared a throwback Instagram image of him bowing while being attended to by a native in Nepal, South Asia.

In 2019, the celebrity had another go at changing his appearance by altering his hair color. His new look didn’t last very long and is something to remember.

Zac Efron in 2019

On January 26, 2019, Zac was seen at The IMDb Studio in Acura Festival Village. At the time, he was on location at day two of the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Two years later, the “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile” star spent time posing with different animals in Australia. He was content with his looks until he changed things up at the end of the year.

Zac Efron in 2021

On March 18, 2021, Zac posted two images of himself on Instagram. He revealed he was on Kangaroo Island in Australia. In the first image, he cradled a Joey, a baby kangaroo, and in the second one, someone else held the animal while the actor posed beside them.

The following month, the celebrity shared another picture of himself carrying an animal in Australia. This time he was holding a Tasmanian devil and using a play on words, he jokingly called it the “Devil down under.” At the time, he was shooting his series “Down to Earth with Zac Efron.”

Zac ended the year off with a bang by growing out a mustache. He was seen with it while wearing a cap at the UFC 269, Neal versus Ponzinibbio match on December 11, 2021. The star was photographed while seated in the audience in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Throughout 2022, the actor had different looks. He went shaven and with a mustache, but by the end of the year, the former look appeared to win. The star also kept his hair short.

Zac Efron in 2022

In April 2021, Zac appeared on Bill Nye’s Facebook Watch to promote his “Earth Day Musical.” That was the first time that fans noticed he looked different. Seeing how different his jaw looked, netizens wondered if the actor had cosmetic surgery.

In an interview, the star explained that in 2013, he injured his face and had to get his mouth wired shut. In the past, he’s also broken his wrist, torn his ACL, thrown his back out, and dislocated his shoulder.

His facial injury occurred while he was running through his house wearing socks. Zac revealed that he slipped into a puddle of water he hadn’t seen near the entrance of his home. He landed on his face on the corner of the granite fountain before losing consciousness.

When the actor awoke, his chin bone was broken, and he had a gash that needed stitches. The celebrity then shared that he’d been getting physical therapy to help rehabilitate his injury. Because his facial muscles work in unison, his masseter muscles, used for chewing, had to overcompensate for the others who were ailing.

While in Australia, he stopped the facial treatment for some time. This happened to coincide with the time when he recorded Nye’s special. Zac Efron explained why he’d looked so different, stating, “The masseters just grew,” adding, “They just got really, really big.”

The actor wasn’t aware that netizens were talking about his jaw until his mother called him. She asked him if he’d gotten plastic surgery. Luckily, he isn’t the type to read what the internet says or allow online gossip to affect him badly.

Zac started 2022 with his mustache. He was seen with it on January 7, 2022, while on set filming “AT&T’s Life, Gig-ified” event in Santa Clarita, California. When he appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” the mustache was gone.

In 2024, Zac had netizens talking when they noticed something different about him. After watching his 2024 Netflix romantic comedy, “A Family Affair,” fans started questioning the actor’s appearance. In the movie, the 36-year-old’s jaw looks wider, and his facial features also look altered.

Replying to a publication that covered Zac’s story about his face, one reader said, “He’s beyond recognition. He has crossed the line.” Another person stated, “He has spoilt his good looks; he was so handsome.”

Someone else lamented“He ruined his looks,” before likening him to another “Baywatch” alumnus, saying Zac’s “David Hasselhof (sic) 2.0 now.” A person who’d seen the changes in the actor before shared“I was stunned by his face when I watched him in ‘The Iron Claw.'”

And complained, “So many of these good looking actors do this, and I can’t understand it. My theory is that it’s part of the deal they make when they sell their souls.” The person continued, “I especially think that about [Nicole] Kidman, look how many movies she is in.”

Their lengthy post concluded, “You don’t get to that level without compromising yourself. I personally do not buy the ‘I slipped in my socks’ story.” Some who noticed the change said, “His face does look different yet he also looks about 46, so if he wanted to age 10 years then he’s gone the right way about it.”

A reader who was shocked by what they saw judged Zac and his “A Family Affair” co-star, Nicole Kidman. The person wrote, “Can’t believe he’s only 36, looks far older than that, and what on earth has Nicole Kidman done to her face, no movement in it whatsoever. Plus she’s far too thin, just no shape at all.”

Someone who also criticized both stars seemed to focus more on Kidman. They remarked“Both Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman’s faces were totally different. It was the most notable thing in the film. Nicole’s face hardly moves.” In the past, Zac has explained why his face looks so different.

He wouldn’t be in the entertainment industry if he allowed it to. Zac noted, “If I valued what other people thought of me to the extent that they may think I do, I definitely wouldn’t be able to do this work.”

Instead, he felt the plastic surgery rumors were “funny,” but seriously noted that the accident nearly killed him. In May 29, 2024, the trailer of “A Family Affair,” was released on YouTube, and Zac’s face was obviously different in the scenes.

In January, his fans got a proper look at his changed looks. His jaw and chin looked enlarged when he attended the National Board of Review Awards Gala on January 11, 2024, in New York City.

March saw the star posting a thrilling clip on social media; showing off the muscle mass he has. He uploaded a video of him and his sister enjoying the water at a beach. He was seen kissing her cheek as he celebrated the “First day of spring.”

In June, the celebrity’s jaw and changed looks were on display. At the time, he was attending the premiere of “A Family Affair” on June 13, 2024, in Los Angeles, California.

A Life in the Spotlight

Her undeniable beauty and elegance captured the attention of Hollywood, propelling her into stardom. Her breakthrough role came as a Bond Girl alongside Roger Moore in “The Man with the Golden Gun,” solidifying her place among the most glamorous stars of her era.

Beyond her on-screen success, the actress’s personal life often made headlines. She had high-profile romances, including her most talked-about relationship with actor and director Peter Sellers, who was 17 years her senior.

Their whirlwind romance began in January 1964 after Sellers spotted her photograph in a newspaper and sent his valet to deliver a message.

“I thought that I would like to meet what I saw,” Sellers later admitted. The couple married just ten days after their first date. However, behind the scenes, their relationship was far from perfect.

In a 2016 appearance on “Loose Women,” the former Bond Girl revealed the darker side of their marriage. “I was really his little toy,” she confessed, adding, “He decided my life.”

According to her, Sellers, known for his mercurial nature, was “very possessive and very, very moody,” often threatening her with divorce and then just as suddenly reconciling.

His fits of jealousy added strain to their relationship. While “The Man with the Golden Gun” star emphasized that the abuse was never physical, she would have left soon.

“I know that sounds horrible. [But] I’m just being practical,” she admitted. She stopped short of outright labeling the relationship abusive but described it as “emotional and psychological warfare.”

She later endured more pain with the passing of her mother from Alzheimer’s disease at age 78. Her mother had been a significant support throughout her career. “Wherever I worked, she always came,” the actress fondly recalled.

While the loss deeply affecting her, she briefly sought mental health treatment, discontinuing antidepressants after a few days. “I am so used to taking care of myself, I don’t need anyone to do anything for me,” she said.

Her second marriage to a much younger Stray Cats drummer, Slim Jim Phantom, drew attention due to their over 17-year age gap. The couple wed in 1984 but separated after eight years in 1992.

Throughout her life, the actress found joy in raising her three children. Her eldest child, daughter Victoria Sellers, born in 1965, made her mark in Hollywood as an actress, landing roles in films such as “Warlords” and “Inevitable Grace.”

Her eldest son and second child, Nic Adler, born in 1973 to her and Slim Jim Phantom, pursued a career in entertainment and launched a podcast that delves into creating awareness with medical experts and families for adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) — a rare genetic condition.

Her second son and youngest child, T.J. McDonnell, born in 1988 to the actress and her third husband Peter McDonnell, also followed his mother’s footsteps into the film industry.

Despite her professional accomplishments and fulfilling family life, the pressures of maintaining her image in a beauty-obsessed industry would lead her down a difficult path. What followed was a journey marked by drastic choices and public reflection, shaping the next chapter of her life.

A Cosmetic Nightmare

Britt Ekland’s story took a harrowing turn in the 1990s when, in her fifties, she decided to undergo a cosmetic procedure in Paris. What she expected to be a moderate enhancement turned into a traumatic experience that left her with lifelong consequences.

Ekland had made the appointment through a reputable consultancy on Harley Street, hoping for a minor lip-plumping procedure. The Paris-based doctor injected Articol, a first-generation filler made from bovine collagen, around the rim of her lips.

According to reports, promoted as a “new dental material,” Articol was risky, with permanent effects. Wendy Lewis, a cosmetic surgery consultant, revealed that the filler was briefly popular in the 1990s but is now rarely used and was never approved in the U.S.

Reflecting on the experience during an interview, Ekland shared that the doctor “destroyed” her face and claimed she was used as “some sort of experiment.” The immediate results were devastating, forcing her to live with relentless public scrutiny.

“For a very long time, I couldn’t really do television or films,” she admitted, as opposed to theater, where the distance between her and the audience allowed her some respite. Still, the ordeal left her scarred — both physically and emotionally.

Attempts to correct the botched procedure were equally grueling. She described the efforts to “try to melt the stuff” in her lips as “excruciatingly painful.” The corrections were only partially successful, and Ekland continues to receive negative comments about her appearance.

“Oh dear, she used to be so attractive. Other women thinking about cosmetic procedures should think again!” one social media user commented about the actress. Another shared, “What a mess! She was so pretty back in the day. She ruined herself.”

A third person typed, “She was breathtakingly beautiful back in the day. Absolutely stunning. Such a shame, don’t mess with your face!” and a fourth remarked“She was so lovely in her younger day — unrecognisable now [sic]…”

Another person wrote, “She was breathtakingly beautiful back in the day. What a shame to have ruined it through unnecessary work” and a sixth shared, “Jesus, what has she done to herself? That photograph would fit in any horror display.”

“To all the people who say, ‘She’s destroyed her face,’ yes! I didn’t do that purposely. I don’t want to look like this, but I have no choice. I’ve learned to live with it, so you’d better learn to live with it,” the actress said with candor back in 2020.

In hindsight, she expressed regret for her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery. She emphasized feeling content aging naturally, adding that while she underwent cosmetic procedures in her 50s, she had no interest in doing it again.

“[…] Getting older happens to everyone. It’s pointless complaining about it or wishing you could change,” she stated in 2021. The actress once advocated for cosmetic surgery for women over 40, but her perspective shifted after her traumatic experience.

She encourages embracing natural aging, sharing, “It’s not really until today, when I’m a really old woman, that I can see, ‘I’m satisfied. I like myself.'”

Beyond her personal journey, Ekland also faced heartache within her family. Her grandson Lucas, born to her son Nic, was diagnosed with ALD. Although devastating, early diagnosis allowed for timely intervention, giving Lucas a fighting chance.

“It was a huge shock. Lucas is such a wild thing, like a little typhoon, and it was so difficult to come to terms with the fact that such a beautiful, entertaining, lovely little boy was facing something so dreadful,” she said.

Ekland’s resilience shines through her reflections on life. While the consequences of her cosmetic decisions remain, her journey from regret to self-acceptance is a testament to her enduring strength and willingness to grow.

With iconic roles in films like “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg” and “Belle de Jour,” she quickly became a symbol of grace and poise, capturing the hearts of audiences worldwide.

Her ability to portray complex and nuanced characters earned her a spot on the New York Times’s list of the 25 greatest actors and actresses of the 21st century.

Reflecting on her career, the actress often spoke about the challenges of aging in the film industry, highlighting how it differs between French and American cinema.

“Overall, I think there are more roles for women of a certain age in France than in the U.S. Our culture is not as youth-centric,” she shared. The star added that though she saw progress being made, she questioned how long these positive changes would last.

For the actress, gracefully aging wasn’t about defying time but embracing it. “You have to try not to fight so hard against time, you know. It’s not that I enjoy it. It is just not that much of a problem,” she said.

She credited her outlook to her family, noting that her children and grandchildren helped her see life from a perspective beyond her own image.

While known as one of cinema’s great beauties, the actress acknowledged that her looks often influenced her public perception. Though she never felt her appearance overshadowed her talent, she admitted that beauty could bring pressure, especially in youth, when expectations are high.

“The burden comes more from the fact that people look at you first and expect a lot from you. They expect more from someone they think looks interesting. It’s a burden because, especially when you’re young, you try to meet that expectation that people have of you. It can be very stressful,” the actress shared.

Over time, she grew comfortable with herself, accepting who she was without dwelling on what lay ahead. The actress understood that aging was not easy.

“Getting older is not nice for anyone, not for men, not for women, and even more difficult for people who depend on their physical appearance. But it’s not a drama. I know some people who are much more stressed than I am.” she noted.

The star was glad she lived in Europe at the time, as she imagined celebrities in America would have a much harder time dealing with aging. However, she insisted that while getting older posed challenges, it was far from the catastrophe many made it out to be.

The French star once shared her thoughts, emphasizing that clinging to an image that no longer fit was futile. “There’s nothing gained by trying to continue to preserve an image or an appearance that does not correspond with reality,” the actress stated.

The French star spoke openly about the changes that came with age, noting that looks became less vibrant as they bore the weight of age and expressions became less lively.

These shifts made her question her future in cinema, as she was uncertain about seeing herself on screen as she continued to age. “I am not sure I can continue to age in cinema. I am not sure I want to see myself on a screen,” she revealed.

Her greatest concern was losing the opportunity to play interesting roles, which could eventually prompt her to step back from acting. For this actress, her image was not an anxiety but an extension of her life’s work — something she had learned to live with and accept.

In recent years, the actress faced health challenges that reminded her of her own mortality. In November 2019, she was hospitalized following a stroke, requiring time to rest and recover.

Having been famously dubbed the Ice Maiden for her stunning beauty and aloof demeanor, the French star showed remarkable resilience. She continued to embrace every stage of her life with an authenticity that resonated deeply with many.

As for surgery and cosmetic enhancements, the actress confirmed in 2009 that she had never gotten work done on her face. “I haven’t had the time,” she joked. She revealed that it’s all thanks to her mother’s good genes.

As she approaches turning 81, look at how the iconic French actress, Catherine Deneuve, has transformed over the years, showcasing how she remained just as beautiful as time went on.

Ashton also starred in the 2000 comedy film “Dude, Where’s My Car?” a box office hit. He also starred in the 2003 romantic comedies “Just Married” and “My Boss’s Daughter.”

The actor also created and produced a TV series titled “Punk’d” and was the host for eight out of ten seasons. In 2004, he starred in the lead role of the psychological film, “The Butterfly Effect.”

In the years that followed, Ashton starred in more romantic comedies like “Guess Who,” “What Happens in Vegas,” and “No Strings Attached.”

From 2011 to 2015, he played Walden Schmidt in the CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men.” In 2013, he portrayed Steve Jobs in “Jobs,” a biographical film about the Apple founder.

Besides acting, Ashton is also a venture capitalist. He co-founded A-Grade Investments, a venture capital firm. In 2015, he announced A-Grade Investments’ successor, Sound Ventures.

Besides the companies, Ashton has also invested in several tech startups and over 60 companies, including Skype, Airbnb, Path, etc.

Ashton has been married twice in his lifetime. His first wife was actress Demi Moore, who he married in September 2005. However, they split in 2011, after which he filed for divorce on December 21, 2012. The divorce was finalized in November 2013.

Ashton and actress Mila Kunis started dating in 2013 and got engaged in February 2014. In October 2014, she gave birth to their first child and daughter, Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher.

In July 2015, the couple tied the knot. They welcomed their second child and first son Dimitri Portwood Kutcher in November 2016. Ashton, Kunis, and their kids live in a sustainable farmhouse in Beverly Hills that they and architect Howard Backen designed.

ASHTON AND HIS TWIN BROTHER

Ashton and Michael’s bond began at birth, as they were born fraternal twins. However, Michael was born notably smaller than Ashton. Also, he was hardly responsive and struggled to breathe.

Despite those circumstances, he made it through thanks to his indomitable instinct to live and the work of outstanding medical staff. When Michael was 13, he struggled with developmental issues and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy before entering Kindergarten.

During Michael’s childhood, he had the love and support of his family members, including Ashton’s. His family taught him the value of his health and how to make the best of his circumstances.

Unfortunately, when Ashton and his twin brother were 13, Michael was diagnosed with viral cardiomyopathy. The condition caused his heart to grow four times the size of a normal one.

Doctors initially told Michael he had three to four weeks to live. However, his life expectancy was shortened to 48 hours after he suffered a cardiac arrest.

Before finding a heart donor, Ashton wished he could give his heart to his twin brother. In a chat with Us Weekly, Michael recalled the moment of Ashton’s generosity. He said:

“It’s just … I can’t find the words. It’s a connection that you can’t explain. In all seriousness, we’re just very connected.”

Michael also said, “It’s an honor or deep appreciation and a deep love for someone who would sacrifice that for you,” before concluding that he could not put words to it.

Surviving another death scare opened Michael’s eyes to the fragility of life and inspired him to take charge of a future he once believed he would not have. During his chat with Us Weekly, he revealed a pivotal moment for Ashton. Michael told him:

“Every time you look at me, every time you feel sorry for me, in a way, you make me less. You make me less.”

Michael believed he was who he was for a reason – a significant part of that reason was for him to be outspoken and use his platform to advocate for disability and organ donation.

MICHAEL WAS ANGRY WITH ASHTON

Despite Michael and Ashton’s close relationship, there was a time the former was angry with his twin brother, who has been a robust support system for him throughout the years.

Several years ago, Ashton, meaning well for his twin brother, revealed that Michael had cerebral palsy on national television. However, Michael was mortified following the revelation as he had spent most of his life trying to hide his disorder. He told “Today Parents:”

“I was very angry. Very angry. I remember speaking to him about it. I didn’t want to be the face of cerebral palsy. I never talked about it.”

However, Michael’s anger towards his brother soon dissipated into gratitude as Ashton’s revelations helped change his life’s trajectory. He said Ashton did him the biggest favor he has ever done because he allowed him to be himself.

A few months after Ashton’s revelation, Michael received a call from a woman in Iowa, asking him to speak at a gala about living with cerebral palsy.

The woman had a five-year-old daughter named Bella, who had a severe form of the disease and could not talk, and despite Bella’s disabilities, she smiled so brightly.

After meeting Bella, Michael could not stop thinking about her. She made him realize that he had to let go of his shame about his condition and advocate for people like her.

There and then, Michael was ready to tell his story and knew that he would have a significant reach with a brother like Ashton.

Michael works directly with The Cerebral Palsy Foundation and Donate Life as an advocate and public speaker. He has worked on a national level to raise awareness for local and national fundraising initiatives.

Ashton paid an emotional tribute to his twin brother while receiving the Robert D. Ray Pillar of Character Award in 2017. He said Michael’s struggle with cerebral palsy taught him that loving people is not a choice and that people are not actually all created equal.

Ashton explained that everyone is created incredibly unequal to each other in their capabilities – what they can do, how they think, and what they see.

However, he said that everyone has an equal capacity to love one another, and his brother taught him that. “The Butterfly Effect” star said he spent many years feeling bad about his and Michael’s inequalities. However, the latter frowned against it.

Ashton and Michael have had remarkable journeys individually; however, they are always there for each other. Thankfully, they have achieved so much in their lives and inspired people through their actions.

Early Childhood: One Year Old

In 2009, Nahla was just a year old. In a heartwarming photo taken on August 23, she is seen cradled in her father’s arms. Her curly hair frames her curious, wide-eyed face.

A Toddler’s Adventures: Two Years Old

When Nahla was two, Berry experienced one of the scariest moments a parent can face. While shopping in a department store, Berry momentarily lost sight of her. She described frantically looking for her daughter, calling for the store’s doors to be shut to prevent anyone from leaving.

To Berry’s relief, Nahla was found just a foot away, hiding under a turnstile. As Nahla continued to grow, her appearances with her parents remained a source of public interest. Even at three years old, her bond with her parents and her evolving style was evident.

Controversy: Six Years Old

When Nahla was six, her family faced a significant controversy regarding her appearance. Berry took her ex-partner, Aubry, to court, accusing him of straightening and lightening their daughter’s naturally curly hair. Berry claimed that these actions were an attempt to alter Nahla’s appearance to deny her African-American heritage.

The court documents revealed Berry’s concerns about the psychological and physical impact these changes could have on Nahla. She worried that altering her natural look might make her question why her natural appearance wasn’t acceptable.

Transition to Adolescence: 7 to 12 Years Old

As Nahla entered her pre-teen years, her growth and evolving style became even more apparent. By the time she was seven years old, she was frequently seen with her mother.

One notable moment was in October 2015, when she was spotted walking hand-in-hand with Berry. She wore a red polo shirt and a light gray skirt, her curly hair framing her face and held back with glasses. At this age, she stood noticeably taller, her head reaching around her mother’s upper waist.

By nine years old, Nahla had grown even more. In a 2017 photo during a shopping and lunch outing with her mother in Los Angeles, she stood almost shoulder-height to Berry.

She wore a gray T-shirt, comfortable gray sweatpants, and fluffy slippers, her hair pulled back into a high, curly ponytail. Her increasing height and maturity were evident, showcasing her transition from a young girl to a budding adolescent.

In 2018, when Nahla was ten years old, her public outings continued to draw attention. One particular moment captured her enjoying an ice cream cone with her mother, both appearing relaxed and content. Her height had become a defining feature, as she now stood shoulder-height to Berry.

At eleven years old in 2019, she continued to grow taller, reaching her mother’s shoulder height. Despite her increasing visibility, Berry worked hard to protect Nahla’s privacy, explaining in a May 2019 interview that she wanted her children to have their own lives, away from the public eye.

By twelve years old in 2020, Nahla was often seen walking with her mother and younger brother, Maceo. Nahla’s height and mature presence were striking, as she now stood almost chin-height to her mother.

By the time Nahla turned fifteen, she had transformed into a poised and confident young woman, standing taller than her mother. Photos of her sparked a mix of admiration and debate among internet users.

Recent Years: 15 Years Old

On March 16, 2023, Berry posted photos to celebrate her daughter’s 15th birthday, and the images showcased just how much Nahla had grown and matured over the years.

In one photo, Nahla sat comfortably on a sofa, wearing a plaid shirt and a brown cap that partially hid her face. Her long legs stretched out, highlighting her tall stature and relaxed, confident demeanor. This image captured Nahla’s poised transition into young adulthood.

“My mini me (but not so mini anymore),” read a caption to another post shared by Berry on August 14, 2023. In these photos, Nahla towered over her mother, indicating just how much she had grown.

In the first photo, Berry sat casually in a white chair, enjoying a relaxed moment. She wore a pink dress with feathered trim and stylish pink boots, accessorized with a colorful heart-shaped purse. Her long hair cascaded naturally, and she exuded confidence and poise.

More photos captured Nahla walking alongside her mother, with her face away from view. From these angles, it was evident that she was taller than Berry, showcasing a significant growth spurt.

The reaction from fans was mixed. Some were amazed by how much Nahla had grown. Comments like, “Wow, that baby stretched herself right out, good for her! Tower over them all!” and “Omg, that’s Nahla? She’s so tall!” reflected the admiration for her growth. However, some fans were divided over her fashion choices.

While many praised her stylish outfits, others felt that her attire was too mature for her age. Comments such as, “The shoes, the dress. Pretty sure my 15-year-old will not be wearing that out of the house,” highlighted the debate over Nahla’s evolving style.

Sweet Sixteen

At sixteen, Nahla marks a milestone in her journey from childhood to young adulthood. Recently, Berry attended the 2024 CinemaCon where she was promoting her new horror movie, “Never Let Go.”

Speaking after the event, she couldn’t help but gush about her children. Berry proudly spoke about Nahla and her brother, saying, “My children are my most valued treasures.”

Nahla’s transformation over the years, marked by public appearances and cherished family moments, showcases the loving support of her parents, Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry.

Meet Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz’s blended family, including the actor’s daughter, who was praised for her good looks, and discover the surprising reason the “James Bond” star said he would not leave his million-dollar fortune to his children.

Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are one of Hollywood’s most private power couples, known for keeping their family life out of the spotlight. Together, they have built a blended family that includes Daniel’s daughter from a previous marriage, who captivated the public with her striking looks.

Despite his immense wealth, the actor made a surprising decision that set him apart from other stars: he plans to leave none of his million-dollar fortune to his children. Here’s a closer look at their family and the reasoning behind Daniel’s surprising stance on inheritance.

Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz – A Private Love Story

In 2011, Daniel and Rachel surprised the world when they tied the knot in a secret ceremony in New York. The wedding was an intimate affair, attended by only four guests: Daniel’s daughter, Ella, Rachel’s son, Henry, and two close friends.

The couple, who had known each other for years before their romance blossomed, kept their courtship under wraps, reflecting their shared desire for privacy in their personal lives.

Daniel and Rachel have since remained notoriously private about their relationship, rarely speaking about each other in interviews. Rachel, in particular, has been careful when discussing her marriage.

When asked if being married had changed her, she hesitated, admitting, “I mean, I wear a ring all the time. I wear my ring with pride. I’m taken.” However, the actress revealed that she had never seen herself as someone who would walk down the aisle.

She added that marriage had not been a goal of hers and that she had never related to the idealized portrayals of it in romantic comedies. But when it did happen, it was a joyous and unexpected turn at a more mature stage in her life.

Then, at the age of 48, she became pregnant with the couple’s first child together. The actress stated, “Daniel and I are so happy. We’re going to have a little human. We can’t wait to meet him or her. It’s all such a mystery.”

In 2018, Rachel gave birth to their daughter, later revealing during an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” that their baby girl resembled Daniel.

Reflecting on motherhood at an older age, Rachel described how special it felt to welcome a new life. She noted that having a child later in life felt deeper and more meaningful compared to when she was younger.

While she once envisioned having more children after her son was born, she acknowledged that her current stage of life made the experience even more precious and that she felt incredibly lucky to have another chance at motherhood. However, she added, “I definitely know there won’t be another one.”

A Blended Family and Daniel Craig’s Unconventional Inheritance Plan

Daniel and Rachel’s blended family includes the actor’s daughter, Ella Loudon, from his previous marriage to actress Fiona Loudon. Like her parents, Ella pursued a career in acting, gaining attention for her roles in films such as “The Vizitant,” “Arab,” and “The Things We Left Unsaid.”

Ella’s career in film seemed almost written in the stars as the daughter of two actors. In 2022, she took to Instagram to celebrate her mother’s birthday and called her “the greatest artist of all” in a heartfelt post.

Ella further reflected on the joy of being raised by her mom, typing, “My mama was born on this day, and thank goodness for that. She’s the greatest artist of all, and [I] am so thankful I got to be raised by such a wonderful bean.”

Ella initially set her sights on acting by enrolling at NYU, with alumni such as Lady GagaAlec Baldwin, and Kristen Bell. However, her time there was brief, as she left after a year. In an interview, Ella candidly discussed her struggles with depression, admitting that her mental state was not conducive to continuing her studies at the time.

She also opened up about her challenges with dyslexia, noting, “It’s amazing how the brain can naturally compartmentalize, but you’re also talking to someone who really struggles with learning lines. There are some people who can just get it. It’s not an excuse, but it’s something I struggle with.”

Her striking looks have also made waves on social media, where one social media user said she was “the prettiest girl I’ve seen for a while.” “So pretty,” someone else commented. Another person wrote, “Wow! Everything is perfect.” Thanks to her good looks, Ella embraced modeling and is represented by Select Model Management.

Ella’s step-brother, Henry Aronofsky, was born during Rachel’s relationship with director Darren Aronofsky. Like with her second child, Rachel keeps her son out of the public eye, bar rare public appearances.

“Isn’t there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you’ve failed?” Daniel said, referencing how industrialist Andrew Carnegie gave away most of his fortune.

The actor stated that he found the idea of leaving massive sums of money to heirs distasteful, sharing, “I don’t want to leave great sums to the next generation.” In 2021, he doubled down on his remarks, adding, “My philosophy is get rid of it or give it away before you go.”

Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig have a blended family, but unlike many wealthy parents, Daniel has taken an unconventional stance on inheritance. Despite his immense success, he has made it clear that he won’t be leaving his fortune to his children, choosing instead to encourage them to build their own paths.

Throughout his illustrious career, acclaimed Irish actor Cillian Murphy has garnered a remarkable array of awards and accolades. From gripping performances on the big screen to captivating portrayals in television series, Murphy’s talent has consistently left audiences in awe.

Behind this remarkable actor’s success stands a steadfast pillar of support: his wife, Yvonne McGuinness. Murphy is not only a master of his craft but also a devoted family man. Despite the allure of Hollywood, he consciously chose to remain rooted in London, where he was residing with his wife.

Murphy’s commitment to proximity with his loved ones speaks volumes about his priorities and values. In 2005, shortly after his breakout performance in the 2002 thriller “28 Days Later,” where he portrayed a man fleeing from zombies in a plague-stricken London, Murphy revealed how important it was for him to be close to his family.

He stated, “I don’t need to live in Los Angeles. I’d be tremendously far away from my family. I’d never see them. I love living in London.” As his career was rapidly gaining momentum, he was presented with a role in “The Wind That Shakes the Barley.” This opportunity brought him much joy as it allowed him to stay home with his family in Cork, Ireland.

At this time, his wife, McGuinness, was pregnant with their first child. To support her during this period, the couple decided to stay with Murphy’s parents. This arrangement provided a comforting family environment during McGuinness’s pregnancy and allowed Murphy to balance his work commitments with his growing family responsibilities.

Murphy nostalgically remembered this time: “I was living at home with my folks; my wife was pregnant with our son; and we were running around the hills of west Cork shooting up Black and Tans. Fantastic!” By 2015, the couple, now parents to two boys, Malachy and Aran, decided to return to their roots in Ireland.

They left behind Kilburn, a district in north-west London, which had been their home for over a decade. Their desire was for their children to experience childhood close to their grandparents and the calming influence of the sea.

Murphy elaborated, “We wanted them to be Irish, I suppose.” When Murphy was away for filming, McGuinness would stay with the kids, but she also occasionally contributed ideas to his work.

One such occasion was when Murphy was actively brainstorming movie concepts to propose to director Tim Mielants, a collaboration he was particularly enthusiastic about. McGuinness proposed they adapt “Small Things,” Claire Keegan’s captivating novella set in a quaint Irish town in 1985.

Murphy initially dismissed the idea, assuming the rights to the novella were already claimed. However, upon consulting with his agent, he discovered the rights were still available.

He presented the idea to fellow actor Matt Damon, who was impressed and agreed to produce the movie through his company, which he co-runs with Ben Affleck. This led to the prompt production of the movie “Small Things Like These,” which became a success.

When McGuinness and Murphy first met, he was not yet famous and was embarking on his acting career with his first movie, “Disco Pigs.” McGuinness joined Murphy and his “Disco Pig” crew on tour. Reflecting on that time, he said, “It was so exciting, 20 years ago or whatever it was – we were all just kids, trying to find our way – but such a special, special time.”

It has been over two decades of being together, and while Murphy, who has recently been dubbed the “Internet’s Boyfriend,” is deeply in love with his wife, the public has varied opinions on his choice of spouse. McGuinness, who has chosen to stay largely out of the limelight throughout her husband’s career, has drawn a range of reactions from the public.

Some have been critical, with comments such as “The wife looks like Cillian in a wig,” and “She is odd-looking. I expected his wife to be stunning.” Yet, some appreciate her natural beauty, with one user expressing, “For once a famous actor with a wife who looks normal, no plastic/fillers or tasteless attention seeking glammed up.”

Another user questioned Murphy’s choice, saying, “It’s hard for me to understand why he chose this not very good looking woman when he is so drop dead gorgeous,” but was countered by another who said, “What some people consider ugly, others consider beautiful. Everyone has different tastes.”

One individual noted, “They showed Cillian’s wife at the Golden Globes Awards. She was done up with hair and makeup, and looked pretty. They always show the same photograph of her with no makeup. They are obviously still in love because Cillian hasn’t left her for another woman.”

Others praised Murphy’s loyalty, with one user writing, “His wife is very lucky. Handsome, down-to-earth, humble and loyal,” and another adding, “Yvonne has lovely eyes. Cute lady! May she and Cillian have another two decades of happiness with their boys.”

McGuinness is an accomplished visual artist whose work spans film, performance, sculpture, textiles, sound, and writing. She values her privacy to the extent that even her Instagram profile is private. The couple recently made a rare public appearance on January 7, 2024, at the 81st Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California.

Her husband was unaware of his new label as the “Internet’s Boyfriend” until an interviewer brought it up, to which he responded, “It’s lovely. It’s very flattering.” Despite the attention, the award-winning actor remains grounded, attributing much of his stability to McGuinness.

He values his ability to maintain a normal lifestyle amidst his celebrity status. He often uses public transportation, runs errands, and does everyday tasks. Murphy believes that living like a normal person is essential for an actor, who is supposed to portray real people.

He acknowledges the challenge of staying grounded, especially when one is in the public eye, saying, “I wish it was easier for me, but it’s excruciating. Who likes talking about themselves?”

Raising their children and maintaining a secure and solid space amidst the challenges of being an actor has been vital for him. “To have a really secure solid space is important. It’s been really important for me. You have to have that safe place, I certainly do. Where it’s just like an island of comfort and peace,” he expressed.

The iconic Hollywood actress was left “devastated” by the unexpected passing of her children’s father. More than ten years after the loss, she has reinvented herself, showcasing a look distinct from her early days in the spotlight.

This star rose to fame in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming a household name thanks to her role in the beloved action series “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Despite portraying one of television’s most iconic characters, she nearly missed out on her role in the popular series.

In a candid interview, the public figure shared, “It was a complete fluke that I was Daisy Duke! I’m half Mexican and half German, and my agency said, ‘You’re way too exotic and just not television material’ — and they fired me!”

However, she was determined to prove her critics wrong. The actress revealed that her first husband, David Shaw, had connections with Bob Clark, who was collaborating with Gy Waldron, the creator of the show.

Bob suggested they meet her, as the character was partly inspired by her. Initially, she was reluctant, telling a friend that they had been searching for over a year for someone who fit the mold of a blonde like Dolly Parton.

However, her friend convinced her to go, and just two weeks later, she was cast. She even designed the iconic Daisy Duke outfit herself, proudly noting that she’s now seen as the All-American girl.

As the star captivated audiences on-screen, her spouse worked behind the scenes as a production manager and producer. Shaw gained recognition for his work on films such as “Murder, She Wrote” (1984) and “The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax” (1999).

The television star and her first husband were married from 1976 to 1981 and did not have any children together. She later wed music attorney Peter Lopez, a co-founder of the law firm Kleinberg Lopez Lange Cuddy & Klein. Lopez had represented well-known artists, including Michael Jackson and Michael Bublé.

The pair married in 1990 and welcomed two daughters together. They had their first child Sophia in January 1996 and their second daughter, Laura, was born in October 1998.

The family woman reflected on her married life with Lopez in an interview. She often thought to herself, feeling immense happiness and gratitude. The celebrity felt blessed with her family and the man she deeply loved. In her eyes, there were no problems; everything seemed perfect.

“‘I’m able to stay home with our kids. He makes a good living, he was a lawyer. This is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.’ And then all of a sudden it was just gone,” she said.

The Ohio native’s life was shattered in April 2010 when her husband of 20 years took his own life at their home. She shared her memories of that tragic day during an interview. While preparing breakfast, her husband came up behind her at the stove and asked, “Hey, aren’t you forgetting something?”

Initially, she was confused, thinking she had everything in order, but then she realized and turned to embrace him, giving him a big kiss and saying, “I love you.” This was a daily ritual for them whenever he was home—a way to affirm their love.

She then asked him if he could take the kids to school because she was running late for her meetings. He agreed, and as he walked away, she watched him, admiring him as she always did, noting how he paused, shrugged his shoulders, and turned slightly before leaving.

The mother of two recalled how, at that moment, it seemed like he wanted to say something, but the morning was so busy that he chose not to and continued walking down the hallway. She believed he had something on his mind, but there just wasn’t time for them to talk.

He took their daughters to school, and as they got out of the car, he told them, “Bye, I love you.” They responded, “Bye, dad,” and that was the last time they saw him. The family woman confirmed that her husband took his own life with a gun. He was on their property, which spanned a few acres behind gates, and had walked to the top of the property before the incident occurred.

She heard the gunshot and ran up the hill to find out what had happened. However, a sense of responsibility for her two young daughters stopped her from going further, reminding her to avoid any potential danger.

It was one of the household staff members who eventually discovered him. They immediately called 911, and the police quickly arrived, surrounding their home.

“We were so devastated. When you are part of a happy family unit, you lose part of that… I mean, we were completely insulated and happy with our family,” admitted the veteran star. She and her oldest daughter immersed themselves in numerous books after her husband’s death, searching for answers as to why it happened.

With no issues like drug use, heavy drinking, or financial troubles, she struggled to make sense of it. In an interview, the celebrity revealed she would take a course on suicide to gain a deeper understanding.

The doting parent felt she had no choice but to be strong for her daughters, recognizing them as the legacy of her and Lopez’s love. She knew she couldn’t focus on her own grief, as her priority was keeping the family together.

The actress shared that speaking openly about her tragedy helped her stay strong for her kids. She wasn’t ashamed and focused on taking care of her daughters and herself to stay resilient. The celebrity also emphasized her dedication to her children and that they attended grief therapy together, which she believes is crucial for healing.

In her journey toward healing, she turned to her faith and community for strength. As a devout Catholic, the Hollywood star prayed frequently, attended church often, and relied heavily on the guidance of her trusted priest.

She explained that these practices, along with therapy, were what kept her going. She also participated in grief group therapy, surrounded by others who had experienced significant losses, which provided her with additional support.

After stepping away from acting to grieve and heal following her husband’s death, Catherine Bach made her return to television in 2012. Her comeback role was as Anita Lawson on the CBS soap opera “The Young and the Restless,” marking her first acting job since the tragedy.

Even years after his passing, Bach continues to honor her late husband’s memory, often reflecting on the wonderful partner and father he was. In June 2023, she shared a touching tribute on Instagram alongside a family photo, writing, “Happy Heavenly Father’s Day honey. What a great dad you were to our girls not to mention a fantastic husband!”

Now at 70, the television icon has embraced growth. She presents a different look compared to her early years on screen, but she has always maintained that she never obsessed over her weight. Instead, she credited her active lifestyle for keeping her fit, including her famously insured legs valued at $1 million.

She stayed in shape through daily activities like dancing for hours, hiking, and swimming, considering herself an athlete rather than someone who followed diets. Her daughters have also embraced a similar approach to fitness, practicing yoga together as a way to bond and prioritize family time.
The doting mom continues to make public appearances this year. On August 1, Catherine attended the wedding of her former “Dukes of Hazzard” co-star John Schneider and author Dee Sorvino at the Hollywood Museum in California.

At the event, Bach embraced her graceful aging, proudly showcasing a look different from the All-American style of her Daisy Duke days. She wore a black shirt paired with a long, striped cardigan in shades of blue, green, and gray, smiling softly as she posed with one hand on her hip.

During this time, she was in a relationship with Sergio Gobbi, a European filmmaker, whom she had been dating for five years. After Paris, the socialite embarked on a decade-long adventure exploring Africa.

Entranced by the images of its landscapes and wildlife, she made a vow to visit one day. True to her word, she embarked on the journey, fulfilling her childhood dream.

During these moments, Jocelyn wasn’t famous yet. She later became renowned for her extravagant marriage and subsequent divorce from billionaire art collector Alec Wildenstein. Her lavish lifestyle also captured public attention in 1998 when news of the pair’s divorce emerged.

At the time, Jocelyn disclosed spending over $700,000 annually on luxuries like food, wine, flowers, and medications. Following the divorce, she reportedly received one of the largest settlements in history, rumored to exceed $2.5 billion.

After her divorce, Jocelyn opened up about how she fell in love with Alec at 31, while in Kenya. The art collector had gone to inspect his family’s 66,000-acre ranch and Jocelyn, who was on safari with friends accompanied him to kill a lion at a neighbor’s ranch.

On their first day together, the pair rode their motorcycles to a hilltop and had their first kiss, which Jocelyn described as “quite intense.” The duo went on to get married in 1978 and had two kids, Diane and Alec Wildenstein Jr.

After parting ways in 1999, Alec alleged that aside from good health and a love for Africa, he and Jocelyn had nothing in common. So after the kids moved away to college their fights became constant and Jocelyn was hysterical, shocking the servants with her language and behavior.

The mom of two accused Alec of delaying the funeral but the art collector argued that Jocelyn was looking for an ebony coffin and perfect burial spot so that she could maintain appearances.

According to Alec, they had been married for a year when she told him that his eyes looked baggy. Together, they got eye-lifts and this marked the start of the socialite’s consistent use of plastic surgery.

Jocelyn would go behind Alec’s back to get her body worked on “She was crazy. I would always find out last. She was thinking that she could fix her face like a piece of furniture. Skin does not work that way. But she wouldn’t listen,” lamented Alec.

A friend of the socialite also accused her of harming her body with plastic surgery because the pal couldn’t recall a time when Jocelyn wasn’t healing from something. Before long, her face became so taut that she struggled to blink.

Friends also suspected Jocelyn altered her eyes to look like a jungle cat. The socialite dismissed these comments, noting that her eyes were natural. “If I show you pictures of my grandmother, what you see is these eyes, cat eyes, and high cheekbones,” revealed Jocelyn.

Jocelyn, who had also accused Alec of pushing her to do face lifts, asserting that he hated to be with old people, changed this statement, saying that her ex-husband always told her that she looked very young. The socialite was just worried that one day she wouldn’t look young enough.

Still, the socialite asserted that Alec, who passed away in 2008, embellished the extent of her surgical procedures. Instead, she attributed her distinctive high cheekbones to her Swiss heritage.

The socialite argued that her pictures from when she was 17 and 18 show that she always had cat eyes. Jocelyn said that despite Alec knowing this, he had chosen the story that she overindulged in plastic surgery because it stuck to her like glue.

“But the friends I had in Africa, or some friends I’ve had since we were 17, 20, 23 years old, they know me,” Jocelyn defended herself. She added, “I have nothing to prove, In the end, I don’t care.”

In August 2024, Jocelyn took to Instagram to share a throwback of herself and Diane, in honor of her daughter’s birthday, and gave the public another glimpse at how she looked before cosmetic enhancements.

“Wow, she was really a beautiful woman,” one person commented. “More natural, is more beautiful,” another person shared. A third typed, “Love the ’90s lokk!!!!”

Jocelyn Wildenstein’s Money Problems

Aside from her journey with plastic surgery, Jocelyn, who was once a billionaire, also made headlines when her fortune dwindled. In May 2018, the socialite sought federal Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Her filing revealed a stark financial reality, including a zero balance in her Citibank account and a reliance on $900 monthly Social Security payments.

However, looming debts, totaling millions, painted a less rosy picture. Jocelyn owed over $300,000 to various legal entities, with her apartment facing foreclosure due to a $4.6 million debt.

Allegedly, the trust’s assets, including a Diego Velázquez painting later deemed a forgery and an undervalued Cézanne artwork, failed to provide the expected financial security. She revealed plans to pursue legal action against her trust, with the hope to reclaim what she believed was rightfully hers.

However, her former attorney, Douglas Pick, expressed confusion over why no lawsuit was initiated regarding the disputed artwork. Additionally, the socialite had moved on with another man, causing her to face troubles beyond financial matters. She and her fiancé, Lloyd Klein, faced assault charges related to alleged altercations between them.

After these misfortunes, Jocelyn led a low-key life but in 2023, she chose to participate in a two-part docuseries with HBO. She gave interviews before its release, revealing how she was now spending her life.
Jocelyn is also focused on Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy, the Wildenstein family ranch in Kenya, which provides sanctuary to 2,000 animals, safeguarding them under protection. While boasting an array of wildlife, notably absent are lions, deemed a threat to the very creatures the ranch seeks to preserve.

In Africa, Jocelyn initiated a school tailored for youths aged approximately 15 or 16, akin to an apprenticeship, aiming to instill confidence, provide employment opportunities, and pave the way for their future.

Now, Jocelyn is 83. She has lived an adventurous life in Switzerland, France, and Africa and has done lots of traveling in other regions. Having a rocky marriage and tumultuous divorce did not stop her from finding love again.

The socialite also no longer cares what people say about her appearance, having decided that she has nothing to prove to anyone. She is living life on the low, satisfied with her choices, and calls herself a global icon for all she has done, has been through, and is still standing strong.
