Jennifer Aniston shares the secret to her fitness success

<p dir="ltr"><em>Friends</em> star Jennifer Aniston is no stranger to dipping her toes into the wide world of fitness, with everything from pilates to boxing under her belt, and has now taken the opportunity to share her latest passion with her followers. </p> <p dir="ltr">After injuring her back in 2021, Aniston discovered a new exercise program that she believes to be a much more sustainable regime for people in their 50s, like herself, than typical workout routines.  </p> <p dir="ltr">“Our minds used to think ‘we have to hurt, no pain, no gain’,” she told <em>People</em>. “It has to be an hour of a workout. You have to work out three times a day. With this, you can start gentle.” </p> <p dir="ltr">She then explained that one of her close friends had tried it out, and that “it just had such a beautiful snowball effect in so many positive areas of her life.” </p> <p dir="ltr">According to Aniston, she had chosen to partner with Pvolve - the company behind the routine - because she believed in their mission so much that she wanted everyone else to know about it, “especially as we get into our lovely older periods, we have to keep it exciting. And we have to be kinder to our bodies.”</p> <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtJjM9MgQwe/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"> </div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;"> <div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: 8px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: auto;"> <div style="width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;"> </div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtJjM9MgQwe/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by Jennifer Aniston (@jenniferaniston)</a></p> </div> </blockquote> <p dir="ltr">The new program sees Aniston incorporate the likes of functional movement and resistance-based training to strengthen, sculpt, and restore her body, though she hasn’t turned her back on her previous endeavours, either. </p> <p dir="ltr">“I have hung up the 45 minutes of cardio, [and] the aggressive CrossFits,” she explained, after sharing that she does still enjoy hiking and Pilates. “That didn’t - for me- work. And I think for longevity and something that is sustainable and you don’t burn out, this just has worked for me.”</p> <p dir="ltr">She had a few other tips to share, too, drawn from her understanding that wellness comes “down to simplicity”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It's just calories in, calories out, nutrition, what are you feeding your body?” she said. “Don't eat crap. You've got to get the right amount of sleep. You've got to drink tons and tons and tons of water. You also have to give yourself the 20 per cent of fun and gluttony and have a good time and indulge.”</p> <p dir="ltr">As for the days when working out feels like too much, she explained that she does the best thing she can for herself - she takes a day off. </p> <p dir="ltr">However, she still stressed the importance of taking care of her body, especially as it continues to evolve with passing years. </p> <p dir="ltr">“I like to take care of myself because watching our parents’ or different generations’ bodies just break and fail them because they didn't feed and strengthen them,” she explained. </p> <p dir="ltr">“How many times have you heard about older people falling and breaking a hip? Because they have no balance, they have no core, their muscle mass is zilch. And that decreases as we get older. So you have to keep it up. But by also doing something that you’re not dreading or intimidated by. And that's why I love this.”</p> <p dir="ltr">She expanded on this while speaking to <em>Well + Good</em>, noting that “balance is one thing we need, especially when we're older; our core is extremely important; our bones get brittle, so we have to keep our bone health strong.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Pvolve addresses all of those little micro muscles that are ignored most of the time when you're doing these big, exhausting runs or going to spin classes or doing CrossFit or whatever the fad is. These are all great methods, but … eventually, over time, the body and the joints can only take so much. And Pvolve is about keeping our bodies moving so that we're thriving, not crumbling and shrinking."</p> <p dir="ltr">And as she also confessed, her new routine is the perfect fit to back her up in her mission to age powerfully, as “it's not intimidating, and I do not dread it - I look forward to it. It’s so good and kind to the body."</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>

Why Absolutely Fabulous would not work today

<p dir="ltr">Jennifer Saunders has long been gracing the screens in movies, on television and on the stage, entertaining audiences with her wit for over four decades. </p> <p dir="ltr">The comedy veteran is perhaps best known for starring and co-creating the hit ‘90s series <em>Absolutely Fabulous</em>.</p> <p dir="ltr">The series follows a dysfunctional relationship between a self-obsessed PR boss and her daughter, and it has been brought back with new episodes various times over the years, even spawning a movie in 2016.</p> <p dir="ltr">The show, which covered several risqué topics, would likely not get the green light if it were pitched today, Saunders told <em>Today</em>. </p> <p dir="ltr">"It is not because of cancel culture, it's just you have to jump through so many hoops," she said.</p> <p dir="ltr">"There's lots more people to make a decision - 20 or 30 years ago people would commission it and you wrote it and it went on telly - I don't think it was the content, the content would seem dated nowadays.</p> <p dir="ltr">"It is not the cancel culture or the wokeness, there is just an age where you turn into the old farts and you back the old establishment and the new people come up and take over.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Although we might not see Saunders’ witty Edina Monsoon or Jennifer Lumley’s Patsy stone return to the screens, Saunders shows no signs of leaving the entertainment industry.</p> <p dir="ltr">The comedy queen has continued to make audiences laugh, working on a number of projects over the recent years and will be starring in a new drama <em>Allelujah</em> with Dame Judy Dench, which will be released on April 6.  </p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image credit: Getty </em><span id="docs-internal-guid-f318b702-7fff-0242-fe75-73acabf14bbf"></span></p>

"I'm not afraid to challenge myself": J-Lo's secret to staying physically and mentally fit

<p>Jennifer Lopez has shared an insight into her gruelling workout routine, revealing it is the best thing for both her physical and mental wellness. </p> <p>The 53-year-old singer and actress told US Weekly how important moving her body is to help keep a positive mental attitude. </p> <p>"It's no secret that fitness is a very important part of my life... I think there's a positive correlation between exercise and mental health," she said. </p> <p>J-Lo's claims have long been backed up by healthcare professionals, with the MentalHealth.org website reading, "Research shows that people who exercise regularly have better mental health and emotional wellbeing, and lower rates of mental illness."</p> <p>"Taking up exercise seems to reduce the risk of developing mental illness... and seems to help in treating some mental health conditions, like depression and anxiety."</p> <p>Lopez went on to say, "When you find a good balance through determination and focus, we're naturally pushing to be the best version of ourselves."</p> <p>She usually begins her workouts "first thing in the morning", which usually means rolling out of bed before 5am. </p> <p>J-Lo regularly mixes up her workouts, explaining, "I'm always evolving and looking for things that keep me excited and motivated."</p> <p>"I'm not afraid to challenge myself, so I'm open to pushing myself, which is what I'm doing right now as I rehearse for my new album, [This Is Me… Now], coming out this summer."</p> <p>Even Jennifer's trainer Tracy Anderson said the pop star goes above and beyond for her health and fitness, pushing herself for maximum results. </p> <p>'"She shows up no matter what, she takes the time seriously, she knows her body, she wants to be herself," Anderson has said.  </p> <p>"She knows that putting in the hard work to get her workout in is part of it."</p> <p><em>Image credits: Getty Images</em></p>

“You better f**king not leave”: Ben Affleck finally reveals what was said at the Grammys

<p>The Grammys are always going to cause a little bit of tension, with sayings like “it should’ve been me”  bound to be heard, but for big shot actor Ben Affleck, the 2023 ceremony could be described as a “take your husband to work day”, so he said.</p> <p>A "tense moment" between the star and wife J.Lo appearing to get into a tiff went viral on the internet, and he’s finally responded, according to the <em>New York Post</em>.</p> <p>Affleck, 50, recalled the incident as a standard “husband-and-wife-thing”, despite the spawning of several memes.</p> <p>“I saw [Grammy host Trevor Noah approach] and I was like, ‘Oh, God,’ they were framing us in this shot, but I didn’t know they were rolling,” Affleck told the Hollywood Reporter, “I leaned into her and I was like, ‘As soon they start rolling, I’m going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor.’”</p> <p>“You better f**king not leave,” Lopez responded, according to her husband.</p> <p>Affleck continued to play the doting husband, but Lopez appeared to be out of sorts after she threatened him, saying,“‘All right, who is this act?’ Like, I don’t keep up. My wife does, obviously. And yeah, it is your wife’s work event.”</p> <p>Affleck shared, "I had a good time at the Grammys. My wife was going, and I thought, ‘Well, there’ll be good music. It might be fun.’”</p> <p>Lopez seems used to her husband’s apparent case of resting ‘bro’ face, joking about it soon after the event, writing on Twitter about Affleck’s “happy face” during a trailer for his latest movie <em>Air</em>.</p> <p>Meanwhile, the director and co-star of the new film, which is based on a true story of Nike’s creation of Michael Jordan’s infamous shoe line, has had his fair share of award shows, “I’ve gone to award shows and been drunk, a bunch. Nobody ever once said I’m drunk.” He told the <em>Hollywood Reporter</em>.</p> <p>“[But at the Grammys] they were like, ‘He’s drunk.’ And I thought that’s interesting. That raises a whole other thing about whether or not it’s wise to acknowledge addiction because there’s a lot of compassion, but there is still a tremendous stigma, which is often quite inhibiting.”</p> <p>Affleck has struggled with alcohol abuse in the past but has since recovered.</p> <p>He previously made waves when he appeared to blame his unhappy marriage to ex-wife Jennifer Garner, claiming, “I probably still would’ve been drinking” if he was still with her, he told SiriusXM’s T<em>he Howard Stern Show</em> in 2021.</p> <p>He is now happily married to 53-year-old superstar Lopez, whom he married in July 2022 after their on-and-off again relationship over the years.</p> <p>The couple co-parent five children together from previous marriages and are reportedly moving into a $96 million Pacific Palisades estate.</p> <p><em>Image credit: YouTube</em></p>

No, no, no, youth is wasted on the young, I get it. But I want to keep putting information in my head that’s going to inspire me.”</p> <p><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck splurge on their new dream home

<p>The gruelling search for a new home has come to an end for celebrity couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, with a multi-million dollar Los Angeles mansion reportedly stealing their hearts - and their wallets. </p> <p>Jennifer and Ben were spotted viewing the property this past weekend, and brought their kids along to get a second, third, and fourth opinion from their children - Jennifer’s twins, Emma and Maximillan, and Ben’s daughter, Seraphina. </p> <p>The home, set on an entire acre of land surrounded by Sycamore trees, boasts seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a six-car garage, a home theatre, an entire detached guesthouse, and a price tag of almost $50 million ($34.5m USD and $49.4m AUD). </p> <p>“The estate showcases the highest level of immaculate detail, timeless craftsmanship and design,” the home’s listing read. “Immerse yourself in a world of tranquillity with the feel of a meadow-like retreat surrounded by towering Sycamore trees."</p> <p>The luxuries don’t stop there, with the 2022 Palisades build also featuring a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a gym, a health spa, a pool, hot tub, and entire outdoor kitchen.</p> <p>Prior to finding their dream home, Jen and Ben had been looking at properties of an even higher price range - some reportedly as much as $85m USD (~$123m AUD).</p> <p>Although the price is enough to see many run the other way, it wouldn’t have come as a shock to Jennifer, who listed her nine-bedroom property in Bel-Air for $42.5m USD ($61m AUD) earlier this month. Jennifer had been in the French-style home for six years, and originally purchased it for $28m USD ($40m AUD). </p> <p>Meanwhile, Ben sold his seven-bedroom Pacific Palisades mansion last year, fetching just shy of $30m USD ($43m AUD).</p> <p>“They are looking forward to making the home their own and having a place together,” a source revealed to <em>Entertainment Tonight</em> when the couple began their search in 2022.  “They are also planning to decorate it together and any renovations that they choose to do will be theirs together.”</p> <p>"Jen and Ben are excited to further solidify their relationship and take this next step,” they added. “At this point, they know they are meant to be together and they are prepared to elevate their relationship in this way and include their families in the process and bring everyone together as a healthy unit. It will be great for the kids and everyone is excited and can't wait to get even closer.”</p> <p><em>Images: Realtor.com, Getty</em></p>

Jennifer Lopez caught chastising “miserable” Ben Affleck

<p>The prestigious Grammy Awards are never without their share of drama, and the 2023 show has proven to be no exception.</p> <p>American singer, actress, and dancer Jennifer Lopez was there to present the award for Best Pop Vocal Album, and brought her husband Ben Affleck along as her date. But it was their time in the audience that caught the attention of eagle-eyed viewers, and propelled an exchange between the pair to viral heights.</p> <p>Affleck, who is no stranger to being the subject of “miserable” internet memes, became the focus of such attention all over again with his attendance at the ceremony. While he was there to support his wife and celebrate the other artists at Crypto.com Arena, Ben spent his night appearing as though he’d rather be anywhere else.</p> <p>As one Buzzfeed editor put it, “however bad of a day you’re having, I promise you’re not as miserable as Ben Affleck at the Grammys right now.”</p> <p>“Someone please check on Ben Affleck,” Chicks in the Office podcast tweeted.</p> <p>Later in the night, that same podcast suggested a save for the struggling actor, “Ben Affleck, blink if you're okay.”</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ben Affleck, blink if you're okay <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Grammys?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Grammys</a> <a href="https://t.co/qO6xBPAbXl">pic.twitter.com/qO6xBPAbXl</a></p> <p>— Chicks in the Office (@ChicksInTheOff) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChicksInTheOff/status/1622415690052272128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 6, 2023</a></p></blockquote> <p>As social media got to work making the most out of Ben’s bad situation, another clip from the evening was set to overshadow them all.</p> <p>The video, shared across Twitter and TikTok, sees Ben lean in to whisper something in Jennifer’s ear. While it’s unclear what was said, Jennifer can be seen jumping in her seat, tense, before she responds and ushers her husband back to his own chair.

Jennifer Aniston bares all to share struggles with infertility

<p>Jennifer Aniston has bared all in her latest cover shoot, while opening up about her desperate struggle to have children. </p> <p>The 53-year-old actress admitted to <a href="https://www.allure.com/story/jennifer-aniston-december-2022-cover-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Allure magazine</a> that she regrets the decision to not freeze her eggs when she was younger, revealing that she "threw everything" at her infertility battle, including going through IVF in a desperate attempt to conceive. </p> <p>"I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road," she said of her IVF journey, which the magazine notes was "several years ago". </p> <p>"All the years and years and years of speculation... It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it."</p> <p>She also slammed speculation that any of her former husbands, including Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, initiated a divorce because she "wouldn't give him a kid", noting that the constant rumours about her relationship made her infertility battle all the more difficult. </p> <p>The actress added that she wishes someone had told her to freeze her eggs when she was younger, adding that she has now come to terms with the fact that she will never conceive children. </p> <p>"I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, 'Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour.' You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed," she said. </p> <p>Aniston admitted that she was too focused on her career at the height of her fame from starring on the sitcom <em>Friends</em> to think about the possibility of having a family. </p> <p>"I just cared about my career. And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child," she said. </p> <p>"And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn’t give him a kid. It was absolute lies. I don’t have anything to hide at this point."</p> <p>Jennifer went on to say that she has come to terms with the fact she won't have children, saying she found some "relief" in the fact that the possibility of kids is no longer lingering over her as never-ending "maybe".</p> <p>She has found self-confidence in her age, saying she no longer cares what anyone thinks about her. </p> <p>"I would say my late 30s, 40s, I’d gone through really hard s***, and if it wasn’t for going through that, I would’ve never become who I was meant to be," she explained.  </p> <p><em>Image credits: Instagram - Allure</em></p>

“This is heaven”: New details from JLo as she describes wedding to Ben Affleck

<p dir="ltr">Jennifer Lopez has finally revealed the romantic details of her wedding to Ben Affleck after the newlyweds married in a beautiful three day ceremony which she described as “heaven”. </p> <p dir="ltr">"This is heaven. Right Here. We're in it now," JLo wrote in her third letter, OnTheJLo, since the pair said their vows in an intimate ceremony in Vegas on July 17, just three months after being engaged (for the second time).</p> <p dir="ltr">Those words were written by Affleck for the film <em>Live by Night</em>, which he also directed, and one he said again on the evening of their wedding reception.</p> <p dir="ltr">“He also said it the night of our wedding reception in his speech, and I thought...how perfect.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Affleck first proposed to Lopez, now known as Mrs Jennifer Lynn Affleck, 20 years ago. </p> <p dir="ltr">The singer had previously shared stunning images of the <a href="https://oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/beauty-style/finally-jlo-shares-pics-of-her-three-stunning-wedding-dresses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three wedding dresses</a> which are each estimated to cost around the $1 million mark.</p> <p dir="ltr">Now her third newsletter since saying “I do”, JLo has revealed that “this was perfect timing” for the pair to get married. </p> <p dir="ltr">“Nothing ever felt more right to me, and I knew we were finally ‘settling down’ in a way you can only do when you understand loss and joy and you are battle tested enough to never take the important things for granted or let the silly insignificant nuisances of the day get in the way of embracing every precious moment,” she wrote.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We find ourselves in that long-desired time of life: having gratitude for all that life has shown us, even its trials and tribulations. That night really was heaven.”</p> <p dir="ltr">She said guests were worried because of the unsettling weather with thunder and lightning occurring every night of the week, and on top of that people caught a stomach bug. </p> <p dir="ltr">“The truth is, I never had one doubt. All week I felt the calm and easy certainty that we were in God’s hands,” JLo wrote.</p> <p dir="ltr">But on August 20, the sun shone on the love birds with JLo happy that after all these years she was celebrating her marriage to a man she truly loved. </p> <p dir="ltr">“The twenty years between those dreams of youth and the adult world of love and family we embraced that day, brought more to this marriage than either of us ever could have imagine,” she wrote.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We weren’t only marrying one another; we were marrying these children into a new family. </p> <p dir="ltr">“They were the only people we asked to stand up for us in our wedding party. To our great honor and joy, each one did.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Twenty years ago, when they were meant to get married, they spoke about Marc Cohn’s ‘True Companion' as the perfect wedding love song.</p> <p dir="ltr">The song began to play after the last child walked down the aisle with JLo describing it as “a song we first listened to together what seemed both like yesterday and forever ago — and life came, strangely, beautifully, mysteriously, divinely full-circle.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“Later Ben told me that the chords of the song and seeing Marc Cohn both shocked him and allowed him to feel the way both roads we had walked found their way, inevitably, inexorably, and perfectly together. </p> <p dir="ltr">“And when he saw me appear at the top of the stairs that moment it both made absolute sense while seeming still impossibly hard to believe, like the best dream, where all you want is never to awaken. </p> <p dir="ltr">“I would have had many of the same thoughts probably had I not been focusing so hard on not tripping over my dress, but when I got close enough to see his face, it made the same wonderful sense to me. </p> <p dir="ltr">“Some old wounds were healed that day and the weight of the past finally lifted off our shoulders. Full-circle — and not at all the way we planned it. Better.”</p> <p dir="ltr">After the reception, the newlyweds finally shared a “yummy brunch by the lake” before she signed off wishing everyone to find the same love she has. </p> <p dir="ltr">“Years ago, we had no idea the road ahead would mean navigating so many labyrinths and hold so many surprises, blessings, and delights,” she continued.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It all culminated in this moment, one of the most perfect of our lives. We couldn’t have been happier. </p> <p dir="ltr">“I wish all of you the same kind of happiness...the hard-earned kind that’s all the sweeter for the journey that came before it.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We love you guys ...forever... OnTheJLo.”</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: Supplied</em></p>

Sylvester Stallone's wife files for divorce

<p>After 25 years of marriage, Sylvester Stallone's wife has filed for divorce. </p> <p>Jennifer Flavin, a 54-year-old model, filed the paperwork on Friday in Palm Beach County, Florida, according to <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/jennifer-flavin-files-for-divorce-from-sylvester-stallone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Closer Weekly</a> magazine. </p> <p>Flavin cited the reason for their split as "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken".</p> <p>In the paperwork obtained by the British magazine, Flavin is seeking "exclusive use and occupancy of the marital residence" and requesting that certain assets and liabilities they've accumulated during their decades-long marriage be "equitably distributed".</p> <p>In the documents, Flavin also claimed that "the Husband has engaged in the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets which has had an adverse economic impact on the marital estate".</p> <p>Sylvester Stallone, 76, has since released a statement about the split, saying, "I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues."</p> <p>According to <a title="TMZ" href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/24/sylvester-stallone-divorce-jennifer-flavin-dog-dwight-fight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a>, the couple reportedly split after they fought over buying a new dog. </p> <p>The outlet claimed Stallone wanted to buy a new Rottweiler for "protection for their family", and despite Flavin's apparent opposition, the actor got the dog anyway.</p> <p>It was their supposed "heated argument" over the dog that "brought up other issues" in their marriage that allegedly sparked Flavin to file for divorce.</p> <p>The news of the divorce comes after rumours began to swirl over the couple's relationship status, due to their suspicious social media activity. </p> <p>Both Stallone and Flavin had recent posted family photos while noticeably snubbing their spouse in the heartfelt captions. </p> <p><em>Image credit: Getty Images</em></p>

Inside J Lo and Ben Affleck's massive new marital mansion

<p>Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially tied the knot and it seems they’ve celebrated their nuptials by living large and purchasing a lavish new property.</p> <p>The two stars were spotted house hunting back in May, and in June, it was reported that they had settled on a stunning Beverly Hills mansion that was once owned by Danny DeVito.</p> <p>While the couple has yet to confirm if they have purchased the property, moving vehicles were also reportedly spotted outside of each of their respective homes, leading many to believe that they have now moved into the mansion together.</p> <p>Lopez and Affleck's rumored new abode was most recently owned by Australian billionaire James Packer, who's the former fiancé of Mariah Carey.</p> <p>DeVito and Perlman sold the seven-bedroom home in 2015 for $28 million to developers Stuart and Stephanie Liner. The Liners then made numerous upgrades to the estate and listed it for $85 million. Packer then bought the property for around $60 million in 2018.</p> <p>It's unclear what Lopez and Affleck paid for the house, and there's a shroud of mystery surrounding the deal, since the house was not even listed for sale when they reportedly bought it.</p> <p>In fact, real estate experts have said it hadn't even been shown off-market, with the exception, potentially, being to Lopez and Affleck.</p> <p>The house sprawls across 29,000-square-feet, which would allow ample space for the couple's blended brood of five children.</p> <p>The massive estate is also said to have many luxury amenities and perks, including an at-home movie theater, a hair salon, a gym, an entertainment room, a wine cellar, a sprawling pool, and even multiple guest houses.</p> <p>The marble kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with two ovens, an 11-burner stove, two islands, and multiple drawers and cabinets for optimal storage space.</p> <p>The spacious dining area can seat up to 12 people, so the family will certainly have enough space to stretch out during dinner time.</p> <p>The master bedroom is fit for royalty and comes with an enormous walk-in closet with rows upon rows of storage for the couple's glamorous wardrobes.</p> <p>The mansion sits on 1.29 acres of land, and it also comes complete with an eight-car garage.</p> <p>The couple was spotted shopping for homes around various swanky areas of Los Angeles for several months before reportedly making the purchase.</p> <p><em>Images: Hilton &amp; Hyland</em></p>
