Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi’s Iconic Relationship: A Complete Timeline
Ellen has been on our television for many years, proving to be the queen of daytime television as the award-winning host of the old Ellen DeGeneres Show. This woman has accomplished a great deal, both professionally and personally. One of her most notable accomplishments was marrying her best friend, Portia De Rossi. The renowned duo has gone through a lot in their thirteen years of marriage. Here is a detailed timeline of Ellen and Portia’s relationship.
1. They met at a party in 2000.
Ellen and Portia have a charming and adorable relationship. They first met at a party in 2000 and were instantly attracted to each other. Despite being in a relationship then, Portia fell head-over-heels in love with Ellen and didn’t want to ruin their friendship by revealing her feelings. Over the years, their relationship has only grown stronger. In an interview, Portia explained that she was still closeted when she started developing feelings for Ellen. She is grateful that the two have maintained their relationship despite the challenges.
2. They reconnected four years later.
De Rossi met Ellen in 2000, and they had a brief conversation. After the meeting, De Rossi thought about Ellen often, but it was in 2004 that she ran into the comedian and felt a strong connection. The two eventually met up and had a great time chatting. De Rossi believes their meeting was a lucky coincidence, but she’s grateful for the experience.
3. Officially dating in 2004.
The two women realized their feelings for each other and decided to put their personal lives in order before anything could happen. They were both in relationships and had been for several years. However, they knew it was time to end their respective associations and move on with their lives together.
4. Going public.
The couple had been through many relationships before they came out as a couple, and they were ready to announce their connection to the world at the 2005 Golden Globes Awards party. Walking the red carpet was a big deal, but they felt happy and loved doing it together. Ellen was De Rossi’s first public appearance with a high-profile celebrity, and Portia was scared for a while, but her feelings for Ellen overcame her fear
5. Ellen’s effect on Portia coming out as gay.
Ellen came out as gay in 1997, while Portia did not appear much later. When she was an actress in Ally McBeal, Portia recounted her conversation with Greg Germann about her sexuality. Greg asked her whether she was gay; at the time, Portia was unsure. Greg then prompted her to answer, and she realized that she had a lot of difficulties accepting her homosexuality.
6. Moving in together soon after.
This couple moved in together in 2005 after the public appearance at the 2005 Golden Globe awards. Ellen told People magazine that they enjoyed watching TV while not taking walks. They also shared with the magazine their discussions about marriage and having kids.
7. What it meant to be gay in Hollywood for the couple.
Ellen DeGeneres came out as a gay person in 1997, and things were not easy for her or for the LGBTQIA+ community at the time. Some people wrote negative articles about her and her sitcom, “Ellen,” because of this announcement. However, the character’s coming out eventually helped with ratings for a while. However, ABC eventually canceled the show due to low ratings. DeGeneres has spoken about how she hit rock bottom after the show’s cancellation but has since recovered and continues to work.
8. Their love for animals.
Portia and Ellen are two people who love animals and have done a lot of work to help rescue and help rehabilitate animals in the past. They also strongly believe in animal rights and have decided to go vegan. They adopted a vegan lifestyle sometime after witnessing their new horse interact with her cows on their farm.
9. Wedding in 2008.
In 2008, the California Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage was legal. This meant that Ellen and Portia could get married. Ellen planned to surprise Portia with a commitment ceremony during their joint birthday party but changed her mind after the ruling. The host proposed to Portia instead, and she said yes. The ceremony was intimate, with close friends and family in attendance. It took place at their LA home, where they exchanged vows while seated on floor pillows in their living room.
10. Buying homes together.
In 2007, Ellen and Portia bought a mansion in Montecito, California, for $15 million. They later sold it to Heath Ledger after one year. In 2008, Ellen and Portia purchased a 9,200-square-foot property for $29 million. This property would be the home they would get married in later that year. They also sold that home in 2012 to celebrity host and producer Ryan Seacrest for $37 million. Ellen has said they had plenty of fun memories in it. She said the property was gorgeous, and they both loved it there. After that, the couple bought a horse ranch in Thousand Oaks, California, for $8.5 million.
Top 10 Worst Dresses of All Time
We get it, beauty in the eyes of the beholders. But when it comes to these dresses, who would even want to buy them, not to mention wear them outside? Today, we bring you photos of people who challenge all fashion police with their choice of outfit. Some of them are even from your favorite celebrities. Take a look!
Worst dress on the red carpet?
We understand that you want to stand out from all the stars wearing fancy clothes and gowns at the event. Nevertheless, wearing such a horrible dress will like Alicia Keys here will likely backfire.
Did she fight with her stylist before the event? Because it looks like they cut out a perfectly good dress, then put her in jeans to make a statement. The singer indeed left an impression on the 46th annual Grammy Awards carpet, whether good or bad.
Back from a zoo trip
What can we say about this dress? Are you auditioning for a role in Zootopia? It seems like this dress’s designer was running low on these fabrics.
Then to deal with the problem, they came up with a genius idea: to combine them all and create this monstrous product. Can you think of anyone who will purchase this dress?
Spot a fan
You can always spot a fan miles away with their merch no matter where you are. It seems like this person decided that small merch might not be enough to show her love for this actor.
She manages to put Edward’s face on her dress, but the blue reminds us of Frozen more than Twilight. Maybe next time, try a darker dress choice? And could we talk about the lighting around the photo?
Even the model didn’t like it.
You probably have the same thoughts as the model when seeing this dress. Can we even call it a ‘dress’? It looks like a poorly made gown with satin fabric attached.
Even with half of her face cut off, we can see that whoever wearing it was not happy. Besides, the shape of the dress makes her look extra big.
Extra fabric
We know that Asidas does athletic clothes, but even big brands sometimes make mistakes. When choosing a dress, this design is totally out of the question.
The top half looks fine, but the extra fabric below makes the whole thing look quite weird. Do you even want a dress with an additional tail like this?
Dippin’ Dots
Dippin’ Dots is a kind of ice cream that often comes in tiny cold dots. However, using the same design for clothes might not be the best idea.
We can see the vision, but it’s hard not to compare this dress to a kid’s outfit. Maybe it will come in handy at Halloween?
High fashion
We always need help understanding the high fashion dress. Did you ever feel confused looking at those outfits on the cover of a fashion magazine?
Do people wear that to go outside?
This dress is a perfect example of this. Does it remind you of the famous Tom and Jerry block of cheese if it was in yellow? It may serve as an excellent gown for most events without the round cutouts.
Flying cheetah
If you want to stand out during Halloween, this dress will help you. The cheetah print and flowing sleeve are one-of-a-kind
You will need a moth antenna or a pair of cheetah ears to complete the look.
A “dress”
This dress comes in lovely nude color, and the cut is pretty. Moreover, even the green straps could work.
However, do we need the printed text saying ‘dress’? We all know what it is, and why are there air quotes? Maybe it has some meaning behind it that ordinary people can’t understand.
Pizza wedding
People want to incorporate things they love into events like weddings. However, this bride took it up a notch and picked the most unique dress for the occasion.
If you are a die-hard fan of pizza, maybe get it as a main dish. Or even have a wooden pizza oven at the venue. We don’t recommend getting married in a pizza dress, but to each their own.
Tacky Wedding Decisions That Were Shared Online
Weddings are one of the most memorable events in anyone’s life, especially if you are one-half of the couple getting married. You want this day to be special, unique, and of course, just to your liking. When you decide to implement your decor as you’ve always dreamed, or maybe scroll too much online searching for ‘cool’ ideas, you run into some disasters, knowingly or unknowingly. The Facebook page “That’s it I’m Wedding Shaming” is dedicated to sharing disasters caught at weddings, from the guests wearing something embarrassing to tacky decor. There’s a bit of everything in this collection, and it might just serve as a guide on what not to do at your wedding in the future.
Don’t Wear White To The Wedding
How is it that, after years and years of wedding celebrations, guests still think it’s okay to wear white to a wedding? This has to be the number one rule when attending a wedding, yet people still choose to outshine the bride — or at least try to. This poor bride had the misfortune that her mother-in-law decided that she would wear white to the wedding. The bride had a genius idea and collaborated with the photographer to photoshop every photo they took by recoloring her dress to red.
Cinderella Adaptation Gone Wrong
Clear shoes are only cute in fairy tales, precisely one to be exact, and that’s it. They are super impractical and look weird. You can see how squished your feet are; they fog up very quickly. No one wants to see your awkward toes in these. This wedding attendee snapped a photo of someone wearing some clear shoes, hopefully not the bride. Her toes are not only smushed, but any nail polish she’s wearing won’t be visible much longer if her feet start sweating and fog up the glass.
Runaway Bride And Groom Theme ?!
Some brides and grooms like a bit of a vintage touch at their wedding, and we understand that the old times may appeal to more of the older guests, and there is beauty in old things, but be careful with what you choose to add to the end of the aisle. This pair decided it was a splendid idea to add not one but two stacks of old suitcases right where they ought to stand and give their vows. Here’s the problem with that — if either would like to leave, this is a literal way to grab a suitcase and run off.
Never Too Much Flower
Wedding bouquets symbolize fertility and new beginnings, though this tradition has come a long way. That said, the older custom has inspired some new modern takes on the classic bouquet, and some of them are questionable at best. This bride has a literal double bouquet, and while it is not so unappealing at first, it seems like they’re doubling up on the need for fertility or new beginnings. Maybe it’s a loophole? Whatever the reason, it’s overkilled.
DIY Was Never Easy
We love it when brides take to DIYing some of their big day’s decor and goodies to save them a few bucks, but you need to draw a line between saving money and creating some seriously tacky items. Maybe scroll the internet a bit more for ideas first? This bride-to-be posted to her social media, proudly showing the DIY candle holders. That’s great for their budget, but it burns our eyes. It is exceptionally tacky and looks like they have dipped a candle holder in glue and rolled it in the clearance bin.
Wedding Cake Gone Wild
There has been a trend for cute and unique cake toppers, and this bride and groom wanted in on the fun. The cutest little pair of alligators are seen on the top of this cake; perhaps these hold some significance for the couple. But there’s more to unravel here. There is a giant gummy snake in front of the cake, and we’d like to ask one question: why? It’s odd and out of place on your wedding cake table. Leave it to the kiddy area, perhaps.
Gender Swapped Images of Celebrities Using AI
Trollers have taken the power of AI and used them on many celebrities to turn them into the opposite gender. The usual tough guys are now sporting softer features with long hair and eyelashes. Meanwhile, the beautiful girls look rougher and more challenging. Let’s find out if your favorite celebs make the cut.
Elon Musk
Elon Musk has done it all, from building rocket ships, electric cars to buying the whole Twitter. The guy was once the wealthiest man on the planet. But there’s one thing he hasn’t done: turning into a woman. Today, all that changes. Elon has been edited to his liking, and we’re giggling. Early in his career, he was bald. He has had a hair transplant, but this is the most hair he has ever had
Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay was the nightmare of many wannabe chefs on TV. However, we were always curious if the show was like that but with a female chef. Now, AI has helped us figure it out. In this image, the new Gordon appears with long blonde hair. The digital stylist even styled his bangs. Not everyone has a face that matches that look, but it suits him well. The new Gordon may not be familiar, but he has the same signature rage.
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus started her career with Hannah Montana. Since then, the star has developed a career singing sharp songs with her husky voice. As an experiment: What if she had a deeper voice similar to her dad? She might look a bit like this if she had a deep voice. The new Miley has the same eyes and smile. But her jawline is more apparent, and it is growing hairs. Her mustache also grows beautifully.
Eminem
In the 90s, Eminem was a global phenomenon. The famous rapper has always had an aggressive personality. Some might even say that he is hostile. But here, it’s hard to imagine that version. His sculpted eyebrows and mascara are adorable. His hair is enviable, and we wanted some advice. Alas, it’s digital magic.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears is a world-famous pop icon. Over the years, we have seen many of her transformations, from shocking bald heads to sexy Instagram updates. This look is new! Britney has turned into a man with a rather odd beard. It was a surprise, but we liked what we saw.
The Infamous Photoshop Troll And His Victims
How many of you have heard of James Fridman? The guy is a master of photoshop who often takes requests for edits quite literally. In other words, he is like a wish-granting Photoshop genie who will give you precisely what you ask for (only Photoshop). After looking at the photos below, you’ll understand what we’re saying.
Weird kissing moment
Here’s the moral of the story: close your eyes while kissing. You might look shocked or just plain weird in the photos with your eyes opened. James’s Photoshop might help, but we’re pretty sure that’s different from what the other person expected.
The inappropriate position photo
We could guess that a friend or relative took this photo of this newlywed couple. A professional photographer would have at least said something about the pole or would be able to edit it out themselves. However, what’s done is done. The couple thought of asking James rather than using a different picture. He did as requested, and it looked like the pole fell on the couple. On second thought, this picture is pretty nice, even if the couple isn’t there.
I Would Rather Hold My 17 Backward Then
The girl here was just 17! She must have been so happy at the moment, which made her not notice that she was holding the number backward. Anyways, James is always there to help. But James isn’t the only person available for help. The girl could’ve gone to anybody. Since she went to James, wanting to reverse the one, he gave her what she asked for – in his way. She’s now 71. On that note, happy 17th or 71st
That’s an Easter egg
Ezgi wanted to take a good photo for a profile picture, but her friend photo-bombed it. She could have taken another pic, but maybe this was her best shot. Instead, she let herself be trolled and went to the person who intentionally misinterprets people’s requests. Imagine the second image on her LinkedIn profile or any other formal platform!
You Get What You Ask For
Liam got what was coming to him. And obviously, that was different from the angle Liam, or anybody else would’ve wanted, right? Photoshop can do wonders, but not miracles. Perhaps next time, he might not even leave the faces and end up cropping everybody out and adding the chandelier.
Hollywood Actors Known For Only One Role
In the world of cinema, many stars only shine once and then fade away. These actors and actresses will forever be remembered as their characters. Let’s find out who they are and what movies they have successfully acted in!
Alex Winter
Alex Winter is known for playing Bill S. Preston in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, where he co-starred with famous actor Keanu Reeves. Winter was successful with two spin-off TV series based on the first film, but the fame lasted only a short time, and eventually, the series ended. Since then, Winter has appeared on a few shows here and there, but nothing has bothered him, so he will forever be known as Bill S. Preston.
Henry Thomas
Everyone, whoever they are, has seen Steven Spielberg’s ET the Extraterrestrial, and that’s why Henry Thomas is known. As a beginner actor, Thomas plays the sweet, young Elliott, the brother of Drew Barrymore and the boy who befriends the alien character in the movie. Thomas appeared in several other films after the movie. However, because this movie is so classic, the boy Elliott will forever be the Elliott boy to the Hollywood world.
Danny Lloyd
When it comes to scary movies, The Shining, directed by Stanley Kubrick and Mike Flanagan and based on the book by famous horror writer Stephen King, you’ll be obsessed with Jack Nicholson’s face as he breaks through the door to get to Wendy’s. Along with that, child actor Danny Lloyd plays Danny. And after this film, Lloyd did not pursue an acting career. Although he has an excellent ability to concentrate, he is not interested in the acting field.
Peter Ostrum
There are a lot of actors in Hollywood who give it a try and then find out it’s not for them. Such was the case for Peter Ostrum, who played Charlie in the film-made Roald Dahl classic, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Ostrum has warmed our hearts for decades as we revisited this classic with another beloved actor Gene Wilder. After the movie, Ostrum continued his life. He is married with two children, and now works as an animal veterinarian.
Paul Hogan
Everyone remembers the Australian man made famous by the hit series Crocodile Dundee. However, most people know him by his character’s name. His real name is Paul Hogan, and he is already famous for this series. Hogan was in a few movies after that and commercials, but he achieved his top actor status thanks to the Crocodile Dundee films. We’re sure people still come to him and get autographs!
Margaret Hamilton
If you haven’t heard the phrase “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!” you have been living under a rock. This famous quote is from the classic movie, The Wizard of Oz, and it was, of course, uttered by the Wicked Witch of the West. Margaret Hamilton plays this character. Hamilton has played in other movies, but she will mainly remain as the notorious villain.
Carrie Henn
Do you remember the little girl from Aliens? That’s Carrie Henn, and she’s widely known for her role as Newt. She didn’t have any acting experience, which is crazy for her to be cast alongside Hollywood legend Sigourney Weaver. After this experience, Henn decided to step away from the film industry, appearing and answering questions only in documentaries based on her work in Aliens.
Strange Facts about Celebrities That Will Surely Surprise Fans
During talk shows and interviews, many celebrities allow fans to glimpse into their life by revealing some facts about themselves. This quirky trivia also make them stand out, even among their peers. From bizarre tattoos to missed opportunities, here are some crazy facts about these famous stars you’ll probably love.
Tom Cruise’s asymmetrical face
Sure, we can tell if an actor is handsome, but what traits determine that? While some people are attracted to certain features, there is one feature that is considered appealing to everyone: symmetry. Scientific studies have even backed this up. We expect all those deadly gorgeous actors to have perfectly proportioned faces, but some are so clever our brains don’t care. For example, Tom Cruise has an asymmetrical front.
Ashton Kutcher’s Webbed Toes
Ashton Kutcher is always a joy to watch on screen. However, have you ever caught him wearing flip-flops? The actor got his toes stuck together, which looks pretty weird. He showed this to the world on a British talk show a few years ago.
Scarlett Johansson has a twin brother
Most celebrity families often stay out of the spotlight. That’s why you’ll only find pictures of their spouse or children in gossip categories. On the other hand, Scarlett Johansson’s twin even appears on the red carpet! His name is Hunter Johansson, And it looks like the good looks genre runs in the family. Although Hunter started as an actor, he is most passionate about charitable projects and giving back to the world.
Jennifer Lawrence’s Tattoo
People have tattoos for many reasons. Some simply like the design, while others want to always have something precious or memorable with them. Even celebrities have been to a tattoo parlor at least once. One such example is Jennifer Lawrence. The actress has a tattoo to remind herself to drink plenty of water. That’s right. She has the chemical formula of water stamped on her hand.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is easily one of the wackiest celebrities, but her weird public personality isn’t the most bizarre thing about her yet. Did you know that she is so afraid of ghosts and the paranormal that she spends a lot of money on ghost-catching devices? The pop star believes in the embodiment of her late aunt and believes in the existence of ghosts. She pays a lot of money to check every hotel and place before she gets there. She even possesses an Electromagnetic machine to detect anything paranormal.
Famous Fathers And Sons Of Hollywood
In Hollywood, not only are most of the actors good-looking, but some are also immensely talented. They have shown unquestionable work ethics and dedication to the perfection of their craft. Thus, it’s a no-brainer for most Hollywood offspring to venture into acting since it’s a world they are familiar with. Today, we have come up with this list to introduce Hollywood’s most talented and attractive men and their equally knockout offspring. Let’s have a look!
Denzel Washington and John David Washington
Denzel Washington is considered the most handsome man in the acting world. We’re not surprised that his son is also a looker. Moreover, John has chosen to follow in his father’s career and started in many productions. Although his name is less recognizable than his father’s, he’s working hard on making his own path. Some of his works that are worth a watch are Tenet, Malcolm and Marie, Amsterdam.
Michael Keaton and Sean Douglas
Michael Keaton has starred in too many blockbusters that it would be challenging to pick only a few. The Actor takes his job seriously, no matter how small his role is. We hope that’s a trait Michael passed on to his son, Sean. He may not be an actor, but his career as a singer and songwriter is slowly taking off. He already has a Grammy for co-writing the country song “Die A Happy Man.”
James Caan and Scott Caan
Where does one even start with James Caan? One of his best movie roles is Sonny Corleone in the award-winning mafia family movie, The Godfather. You’d think his son Scott would feel discouraged and hesitate to try acting because of his father, but it runs in the family. He has appeared in various programs, including the hits Hawaii 5-0 and Entourage.
Stellan Skarsgård and Alexander Skarsgård
The Skarsgård father and sons have to be one of Hollywood’s most good-looking and talented. Stellan has starred in some of the most memorable and well-loved movies, and although he is in his 70s, he still has a lot to give with his energy and incredible talent. Who doesn’t remember him from Mamma Mia and his unforgettable mark on the box-office hits Avengers and Thor? On the other hand, Alexander has both small and big parts in various productions, and his performance in HBO’s critically acclaimed Big Little Lies is unforgettable.
Clint Eastwood and Scott Eastwood
Clint Eastwood is one of the most respected names in Hollywood. The start even won Oscars for directing The Unforgiven in 1992 and Million Dollar Baby in 2004. If there’s one career in Hollywood that most people would like to have, it would be his. His son Scott, who looks uncannily like him, has also pursued acting and starred in many movies. Although his films don’t have the same caliber as his father’s, there’s no doubt he has a good chance of achieving greatness.
Jeremy Irons and Max Irons
If you ask us to name our favorite British actors, Jeremy Irons would be on our list. Not only does he have serious talent, but he also has good looks, which he passed on to his son, Max. One look at Max, and you can tell he is related to Jeremy. Although still a rising star with a long way to go to match his father’s work, Max is hard at work and is not intimidated. You might have seen him in films, including The Riot Club, Terminal, or The Host. We should watch out for more from this handsome face.
Celebrities Who Don’t Support Prince Harry And Meghan
Ever since Prince Harry began dating Meghan Markle, the two have been under scrutiny from the media as well as people from all around the world. It’s hard to imagine what hasn’t been said about the couple, as members of their families, staff, and even celebrities have weighed in on their relationship and exit from royal life. These celebrities aren’t particularly fond of Harry and Meghan and have spoken up against the couple – here’s everything they’ve said about the Royal Family.
Jeremy Clarkson
Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson had strong words about Meghan Markle in light of her and Prince Harry’s Netflix docu-series. The Sun published a column he wrote after the second volume of their series aired, and Clarkson criticized Markle harshly, saying she deserved to walk around the streets of London with no clothes on, similar to the ‘Shame’ scene with Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones.
In addition, he described his hatred toward her, saying that it was “on a cellular level.” His daughter denounced his actions, and The Sun eventually pulled the piece.
Wendy Williams
If you’re a fan of American television, there’s a high chance that you’re familiar with Wendy Williams. This lady has been ruling our screens for years and has become somewhat of an expert in relationships and love. While many hoped that she will take side with Meghan Markle, that just hasn’t been the case. Many suggested that Wendy hasn’t been a fan since around 2017. In one particular episode of the Wendy Williams Show in 2017, Wendy noted that Meghan had applied to work on her show in the day. However, instead of calling her by her name, Wendy called the Duchess of Sussex a “random princess.” Since then, she has made no secret that she doesn’t believe that a former Hollywood actress and Deal or No Deal model has any place within the British Royal Family. She’s made sure that everyone knows her thoughts.
Piers Morgan
There’s a high chance that you know who Piers Morgan is – whether you like him or not. He made no secret that he does not like Meghan Markle, but things haven’t always been this way. There was once an occasion when these two considered themselves friends and even hung out a few times. Yet, he noted that as soon as Meghan got her leg up in high society and met Prince Harry, she ditched him. Because of this, Piers has concluded that Meghan is a social climber with no place within the Royal Family. At the same time, many people labeled him bitter after the now Duchess ghosted him.
Piers often talks about Meghan and slates almost everything she regularly does. After Harry and Meghan did a very revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey, many people voiced their opinions. Including – somewhat expectedly – Piers Morgan, a long-time harsh critic of Meghan. According to him, all Meghan and Harry did by talking to Oprah was trash the Queen’s name – while Harry’s grandfather was in the hospital. Putting it that way makes the former Duke and Duchess look disrespectful. However, others have claimed Prince Philip’s condition has been exaggerated precisely to vilify the two.
Melissa Francis
After buying a $15 million home in Santa Barbara, people don’t think they deserve to be seen as victims. Sure, the ex-royal couple were slandered by the tabloids, but doesn’t that come with immense wealth and fame? If you can also take private jets to Ibiza, or hang out with Elton John, whenever you feel like it, it might not be such a heavy price to pay. American television news personality Melissa Francis is clearly of this opinion.
Prince William
The Duke of Cambridge has had a rocky relationship with his brother over the years. However, it seems like Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey might have reignited their alleged feud. William commented on the discussion, saying; “We are very much not a racist family.” His family was stunned by the interview, which suggested they treated Harry and Meghan atrociously. William is reportedly upset with his brother for vilifying them in the interview. Hopefully, the two will sort things out soon.
Comic That Perfectly Sum Up The Life Of A Married Man
While no two marriages are strictly the same, many men out there will agree that there are certain things they equally experience in every marriage out there. When you see couples having issues similar to yours, it relieves and reassures you that you are not doing something wrong. Yehuda Devir, an artist from Israel, has created some comic renditions from the diverse ups and downs he’s faced so far in his marriage with Maya. From the honeymoon phase to trying to be parents, we have compiled the most relatable comics that will help you breathe a sigh of relief!
The Shy Guy
You might feel your husband is a charmer, but even stunning men can have self-esteem issues. From time to time, he might need some encouragement, too. Try to be his cheerleader. He needs it more than you know. If he isn’t feeling like a charmer, you shouldn’t pressure him to be like other guys. Avoid places that further increase his insecurities if you know he feels uncomfortable. Finally, remind him that he will always be the apple of your eye!
The Trickster
Nothing keeps couples together better than sharing laughter. However, adding weight and changing body shapes isn’t something to laugh at. Your woman might look flawless to you. Yet, she might be worried about adding a few pounds throughout your relationship. The most useful thing to do in this situation is to make her see how much you love her. Remind her that she will always be the most beautiful girl in the room to you. Hopefully, she accepts that adding a few pounds isn’t something to fret over and shouldn’t affect your relationship.
The Angry Sleepers
Fights are sometimes inevitable, and resolving them might make you angrier than the issue itself. Such wrath could overpower other emotions, making it difficult to obey the “never go to bed angry” scenario. Try to remind each other of your undying love, even in the face of anger. When the day breaks, revisit the issue when you both will be much calmer. Don’t draw a veil over any issue. You should talk about it if it were big enough to have caused a fight. These issues can come back up if you don’t hash it out.
The Shredder
Just like death and taxes are constant in life, so is hair shedding for ladies. As if losing millions of strands every day isn’t enough to annoy you, you will realize that the more hair she has, the more places it will end up, including in your food sometimes! True, this can get you angry, but try not to complain. Be patient. Us men would have found a way out of this if there was any solution. These strands of hair serve as a security blanket they need to protect their feminine nature.
The Other Double Standard
Weight gain may be a big issue in a relationship. In many societies around the world, women’s bulging stomachs are generally frowned upon. However, men don’t receive as much criticism. A protruding belly and tight-fitted pants may be a usual look for some men. However, a little weight gain by the ladies raises more than eyebrows. People start talking and advising her on why she should lose weight for health reasons, perhaps. Ensure you appreciate your spouse in whatever form she takes. It’s not something to fight over.
The Proposal
The power of two coming together to become one is immeasurable. The picture below illustrates what you go through when you are about to make such a decision. Asking someone to be your life partner requires courage and a lot of planning. You need to get it right. We wonder if guys ever think about getting “no” as an answer. Well, Maya looked like she had longed for this moment since they met. In our opinion, private and intimate proposals are the best. It keeps you in control of the event.

However, when the two of them took each other to court for a divorce, Amber told the court she witnessed Johnny abusing drugs and alcohol a year after they first met. However, the wedding took place in 2015.
The beginning of the end
The couple’s relationship had no problems until they got married. In 2016, Amber unexpectedly filed to issue a ban on Johnny. It wasn’t until the press broke the news that people knew their relationship was over. She presented photographic evidence of alleged domestic violence by Johnny. And she said she was filing a claim for his most recent assault. Amber said that Johnny was outraged a few days ago because he focused on something wrong. She said that he threw the phone at her head, which is why she has bruises on her eyes and cheeks. He was also involved in grabbing and pulling her hair.
Johnny’s reputation is damaged.
At the end of May, the court issued a restraining order for Amber. To this news, Johnny’s attorneys immediately responded, “Amber is trying to reach an early financial settlement by alleging abuse.” According to Johnny, Amber made up the story to get money from Johnny. However, Amber countered, saying, “During our relationship, Johnny abused me verbally and physically. I have endured excessive emotional, verbal, and physical abuse from Johnny, including angry, hostile, humiliating, and threatening behavior whenever I questioned his authority. Him or disagree with him,” she told the court.
Out-of-court settlement
In August, the couple finally decided to settle out of court. Amber withdrew the ban after receiving a $7 million settlement. She asked for $50,000 in alimony. She made an important point by mentioning that it was never a financial matter and vowed to contribute it to two charities. “As described in the moratorium and divorce settlement, money plays no role for me and never has, except that I can donate it to charity and when I do. in doing so, hopefully helping the less defenseless,” her public statement said.
Make a joint statement.
In the end, the couple released a joint statement. “Our relationship is passionate and sometimes fickle but always bound by love,” they said. While this may be intended to explain why their relationship got to that point, it only raises more questions from the public. The statement also included the following lines: “Neither party made false accusations for financial gain. Never intended to harm physically or mentally. Amber wishes Johnny all the best in the future.” It seems the couple has found some peace in each other. Sadly, that peace did not last long.
Property received by each person after divorce.
After a year of completing the ban, the couple finalized their divorce. And, of course, like in any other divorce, each has to keep things out of the relationship. In addition to the divorce settlement, Amber also has to raise dogs. On the other hand, Johnny has to keep assets around the world. That’s probably because they’re all under his name. Before marrying Amber, he owned most of these properties.
Both agree to play nice.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, there is a non-discrimination clause in the couple’s agreement. This means that neither of them can slander the other or speak ill of their relationship. As celebrities, this is in their best interest. However, we know that is not the case. Amber claims that it was Johnny who broke the terms first. She accused him of defaming her in front of some media, saying she lied about domestic abuse. She also claims this gives her the right to punitive damages.
Official statements of both
According to Johnny’s attorneys, “The op-ed [Amber’s article] relies on the central premise that Miss Heard was a victim of domestic abuse and that Mr. Depp caused domestic violence against her. there.” They also stated that “Amber’s suggestion that Mr. Depp was a domestic abuser is completely untrue.” In response, Amber’s team said: “Johnny Depp abused Amber Heard both physically and verbally. Since their divorce, Mr. Depp has continued to harass Ms. Heard publicly and try to shock the world by denying his abuse. It is time for Mr. Depp’s despicable behavior to end long ago.”
Actors Who Absolutely Hated the Movie They Started In
Despite what they might say during the press tour, only a few stars truly enjoy the movies they started in. Not every shoot was a dream come true, and not every castmate was perfect. While shooting a movie or a TV show usually doesn’t affect them, these actors had no choice but to stay for some surprising reasons.
Keanu Reeves Starred in The Watcher Because His Signature Was Forged
In the early ’90s, Keanu Reeves was playing street hockey with his friend Joe Charbanic when he made a verbal agreement to cameo in Charbanic’s movie, hoping his name would help secure financing. Years later, post-The Matrix, Reeves was the world’s biggest star, and the film, The Watcher, was made. To Reeves’s annoyance, it was substantially rewritten to make his character the movie’s center. Reeves also claimed a friend – presumably Charbanic – forged his signature on the contract. Since he couldn’t prove it and didn’t want to get sued, he just did the movie. After his one-year NDA expired, he spoke freely about how much he hated it.
Ryan Reynolds Was ‘Blackmailed’ into Starring in X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Most fans will call out the X-Men Origins: Wolverine production team for what they have done to Wade Wilson. From giving him laser eyes and sword hands to sewing his mouth shut. Ryan Reynolds revealed that he was blackmailed into being in that stinker in the first place. The actor knew Origins’ Deadpool was the “wrong version” and even told the studio as much. Unbothered, Fox told him, “Play Deadpool in this movie, or we’ll get someone else to.” Feeling “a little blackmailed” but not wanting to lose the role altogether, Reynolds suffered, so he could later shoot the two movies that got it right.
Whoopi Goldberg Was Sued into Starring in Theodore Rex
Not many people know that Whoopi Goldberg started in the 1995’s buddy cop movie Theodore Rex. Goldberg plays futuristic tough-as-nails police detective Katie Coltraine, who gets paired with a bumbling human-sized Tyrannosaurus named Theodore Rex.
The original script had a white male lead, but the producers decided to go after Goldberg, then at the height of her ’90s fame. She made a verbal commitment to start but later wanted to back out, probably realizing its awfulness. A lawsuit and countersuit ensued, and Goldberg eventually starred in the movie to avoid having to pay $20 million. It flopped, and Goldberg was nominated for a Worst Actress Razzie.
Mike Myers Starred in The Cat in the Hat Because He Flaked on Doing Another Movie
Remember Dieter, Mike Myers’s German talk show host character from SNL? Sure, you don’t. For whatever reason, Universal decided to give him a movie. When Myers himself couldn’t write a script he was satisfied with, he was sued – by both Universal and production company Imagine Entertainment. To settle both lawsuits, Myers agreed to do another movie for them instead. That movie was The Cat in the Hat. Despite Myers’s lifelong Dr. Seuss fandom, the film stank – and, apparently, so did his attitude. Co-star Amy Hill called him a “diva” and a “little hermit” and revealed he had a designated on-set chocolate holder.
Natalie Portman Had to Star in Thor: The Dark World Despite Marvel Firing Her Director
Before Eternals, Marvel’s lowest-rated movie was Thor: The Dark World. It wasn’t awful – but as Chris Hemsworth put it, “meh.” One person who saw it coming was original director Patty Jenkins. Slated to be the first woman to helm a superhero film, she was afraid the failure would be blamed on her, so she bailed just three months in. Natalie Portman, who played Jane Foster and pushed for Jenkins to get the role, was completely blindsided. Her contract, however, was ironclad, so she was forced to stay. The happy ending? Jenkins still became the first woman to direct a superhero movie – Wonder Woman.
Emily Blunt Wasn’t Black Widow so that She Could Star in Gulliver’s Travels
Scarlett Johansson finally got the sendoff she deserved in 2020’s Black Widow movie, probably capping off the career of one of the MCU’s most popular characters. Honestly, we can’t imagine anyone else playing Natasha – which makes it much weirder to discover Marvel’s first choice was Emily Blunt. She became a star after The Devil Wears Prada, but that movie’s contract stipulated that she had to do another film for 20th Century Fox. That movie, the awful flop Gulliver’s Travels, forced Blunt to bow out of playing Black Widow, something she still agonizes over today, calling it “a bit of a heartbreaker.”
Alec Baldwin Knew After a Week He Wanted to Ditch Rock of Ages
Alec Baldwin’s well-known for his comedy on shows like 30 Rock, but he should be equally famous for his sixth sense. In 2012, Baldwin joined Rock of Ages’ A-lister ensemble cast, which included Tom Cruise. The jukebox musical was a Broadway smash, but a Hollywood flop – and Baldwin called it a week in. Oh God, what have I done? he recalled thinking. He asked to be replaced “if possible,” but it didn’t work. Baldwin, who played nightclub owner Dennis Dupree, said he wanted to do the movie to work with Cruise and director Adam Shankman. Still, it ended up being “horrible” and a “complete disaster.”
