THE WEEK THAT WAS
in 7 candies
Are you sitting down for a moment? Here’s what happened this week:
If this is true, then it’s probably the saddest news of the week. According to American media, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have split and are on their way to a divorce. The acting couple, who married 10 years ago, had stolen your and my hearts over the past years by being so wonderfully normal together. Insanely successful, incredibly good-looking, but so wonderfully down-to-earth. Both dressed in sneakers and jeans, always busy with their children, a rare phenomenon in Hollywood. But according to the rumor mill, dark clouds have gathered over their marriage. Ben and Jen have not confirmed or denied anything yet. However, they were seen together during a lunch appointment.
Forbes released their list this week of America’s 50 Richest Self-Made Women. Jessica Alba graced the cover of the issue. The 34-year-old actress did not make the list; she just fell short of being included, but her company The Honest Company was valued at $1,200,000,000, making her one of the richest self-made women in Hollywood. Who else is on this list? Beyoncé (49th), Madonna (28th), and Oprah (5th). The number 1 position goes to Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, a medical company that developed a new type of blood test. The blonde is 30 years old, never finished her studies at Stanford, and is single.
The celebrity stork paid a visit this week to Keira Knightley. The British actress gave birth this week to her first child with husband James Righton. She has yet to announce the name and gender.
In Bel Air, construction is currently underway on what is reportedly going to be the most expensive house in the world. For $1,500,000,000, it is a 9,000 square meter residence of yours. You can fit 30 cars in the garage, there is a cinema with 40 seats, and a casino built in ‘Monaco style’.
In recent weeks there was a party in Cannes and Monaco. Young actors, models, and other hip people gathered on the Côte d’Azur to let loose for a bit and often new romances arise. This time, Kendall Jenner and racer Lewis Hamilton were reportedly flirting during a sun-soaked weekend on a yacht. Is the era of Lewis and Nicole now definitively over?
Although he is anything but known as a stable relationship man, the news that Johnny de Mol and his Shima have split is still a huge shock. The actor/presenter proposed to his girlfriend on King’s Day and seemed happier than ever before. What happened between the two is unclear, but since this week, it’s over and out between them. The couple, who previously sealed their love with matching tattoos met each other over a year ago at the Burning Man festival in Nevada.
Things are looking better for Farmer Tom. The Farmer Seeks Wife-hunk who couldn’t find love through the TV show is now completely settled. Not only did he announce that he found the woman of his dreams in the blonde Marieke, but he also landed his second television gig in. Tom will be a gardener on Eigen Huis & Tuin. “I’m incredibly excited to embark on a new adventure with this team at RTL,” said the tulip farmer.
