Jennifer Lopez is finally breaking her silence on Ben Affleck split, just two months after filing for divorce.

The star, who sported leopard print for an exclusive sit-down with Interview Magazine on the outlet’s 55th anniversary, said the split turned out to be extremely “sad, scary.”

Although the Atlas actress refrained from mentioning Ben, she reflected on the life lessons learned this year.

In addition, The Boy Next Door star revealed that life ‘blew up’ in her face, adding up to her tumultuous year overall.

The multi-hyphenate star also admitted to going through a rough patch, expressing the urge to isolate herself after divorcing her former husband of two years.

She told the outlet, “You have to be healthy. You have to be complete if you want something that’s more complete. 

“You have to be good on your own. I thought I learned that, but I didn’t. And then, this summer, I had to be like, “I need to go off and be on my own. I want to prove to myself that I can do that.”

In response to the singer’s claim, interviewer Nikki asked JLo if it has been tough for her to handle everything at once.

To which Lopez instantly replied, “Yes, it’s f***ing hard!

“It feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary. It feels sad. It feels desperate.”

Lopez further emphasised that it’s crucial to find happiness ‘within yourself’ instead of seeking it in other people.

She went on to add, “But when you sit in those feelings and go, “These things are not going to kill me,” it’s like actually, I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself. Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. 

“I have to have happiness within myself. I used to say I’m a happy person, but was still looking for something for somebody else to fill, and it’s just like, “No, I’m actually good.”’

JLo then addressed her life lessons, saying that it’s a “lifelong process” before she quipped, “There’s only getting better and growing if you want to. It’s either growing or dying, and I don’t want to do the dying part.”

This comes after the former celebrity couple was spotted strolling down the street chatting in Los Angeles.

The actress was caught up in an emotional moment at the time as she met Ben for a cosy lunch with kids.

Princess Anne has honoured her commitment to the Royal Family following a health scare earlier this year. 

The 74-year-old Princess Royal was admitted to Southmead Hospital after sustaining a concussion from a horse-related accident at her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.

She spent five nights in the hospital before being discharged. As a result of the incident, several scheduled visits to organisations in Hampshire were cancelled.

A Palace spokesperson told GB News at the time: “On doctors’ advice, Her Royal Highness’s engagements for the week ahead will be postponed.

“Her Royal Highness sends her apologies to any who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result.”

After gradually returning to her public duties, which included appearances at the Paris 2024 Olympics in July, Princess Anne has resumed a busy schedule. On Tuesday, she completed her rescheduled visits in Hampshire.

In her role as President of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), the Princess Royal officially opened the renovated clubhouse at Warsash Sailing Club. 

The newly extended Shore House features a viewing balcony overlooking the River Hamble, a spacious meeting hall, two bars, and a fully catered galley.

Princess Anne shares a long-standing passion for sailing, following in the footsteps of her late father, Prince Philip. During a visit to the Isle of Wight in 2021, she revealed that she first took up the hobby on a Bloodhound yacht. 

Known for enjoying sailing trips with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, she often cruises in a Rustler 44 Ballochbuie around Scotland. In a previous interview with RYA Magazine, she expressed her love for the sport.

In a previous interview for RYA Magazine, she opened up about her love for sailing.

The royal said: “For me, it’s important to have time away and sailing really is time away.

“It gives you a complete change from anything you’re doing and from my perspective, having a boat on the west coast of Scotland gives me two things – time away and in an attractive area.”

Brad Pitt has seemingly expressed relief after Angelina Jolie dropped her lawsuit, hinting at a fresh start to life.

An insider told In Touch Weekly that the Maria actress now seemed happy and relaxed in her recent public appearances.

The report also claimed that Jolie managed to squeeze in some time with her new love interest Akala in NYC.

The source remarked, “She seems really relaxed and happy, it’s like she’s turned over a new leaf.”

Notably, Jolie also took a big step to resolve issues with the Fight Club star by using the pseudonym ‘Jane Doe’ to dismiss a case against the FBI and the Department of Justice.

For the unversed, the lawsuit was filed in 2022 related to the probe into her marital dispute with her ex-partner on a private flight, which took place in September 2016.

An insider close to Pitt disclosed that “Brad’s team has always contended that they both got full reports already and this lawsuit was just another way for her to destroy his reputation.”

“But it seems she’s finally given in,” the tipster concluded.

It is worth mentioning that the former couple share six children named, Shiloh, Pax Thien, Vivienne, Knox Léon, Zahara Marley, and Maddox Chivan.

On the other side, Jolie has sparked romance speculations with the American rapper, Akala from May 2023.

However, Pitt and his current love interest, Ines De Ramon began dating each other in November 2022. 

A$AP Rocky is embracing fatherhood in full force.

In a candid interview with W Magazine for their October 8 cover story, the Grammy-nominated rapper opened up about how becoming a dad to his sons RZA, 2, and Riot Rose, 14 months, has transformed his life.

“That s*** changed my swag,” Rocky, 35, shared, admitting, “I’m such a dad, it’s f***ing hilarious.”

Rocky, who shares his boys with longtime partner Rihanna, 36, also discussed the challenges of balancing his career with parenthood.

“I haven’t been in the gym in weeks… But the sacrifices we make to put out something substantia. Once you a parent [sic], you just embody that, no matter what,” he reflected.

When it comes to parenting, Rocky and Rihanna work together seamlessly.

“I think we both have our niches,” he said, further explaining, “She could never be a great dad, because she’s a great mom. And I could never be a great mom, because I’m the greatest dad in the whole wide world.”

Rocky also gave some insight into their sons’ personalities, noting that RZA is more introverted, like him, while Riot is an extrovert, just like his mom.

“RZA’s my twin,” Rocky said proudly, joking that his son may have inherited Rihanna’s famous forehead but takes after his dad in every other way.
