The true story of a shipwrecked couple's fight to survive

The true story of a shipwrecked couple's fight to survive

Washington Post05-07-2025
Few nonfiction books get a reader's adrenaline pumping quite like Sophie Elmhirst's 'A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck.' As I plunged headfirst into this immersive tale of a British couple who set sail alone together one morning in 1972 bound for New Zealand, I flashed on the 2003 film 'Open Water.' In it, a scuba-diving husband and wife are abandoned in the Atlantic by their tour group, who pull up anchor without noticing that the pair are still underwater. As the hours pass and the sharks circle, you feel their terror in your bones.

Tommy Lee's Ex Heather Locklear ‘Likes' Poolside Video of Him Playfully Hitting Wife Brittany's Butt

Heather Locklear appears to have nothing but positive vibes for ex-husband Tommy Lee. The Uptown Girls actress, 63, 'liked' a video Lee, 62, shared via Instagram on Saturday, August 10, that featured the Mötley Crüe drummer playfully hitting his wife Brittany Furlan's butt. 'Bad pool boy!!!!' Lee captioned the video. 'There were too many leaves in the pool this morning you are fired!!!' Locklear and Lee were married from May 1986 to 1993. In a 1987 interview with Rolling Stone, Lee shared that the pair met at an REO Speedwagon concert and he later got Locklear's phone number from the brother of his accountant — a dentist who happened to know the same dentist who treated Locklear. Locklear proposed to Lee in 1986, just three months after that meeting, the pair told People at the time. The couple married on May 10, 1986, in front of 500 guests, but things between the two quickly dissolved after Lee's numerous infidelities came to light. Heather Locklear's Ups and Downs Through the Years: Marriages, Motherhood, Rehab and More 'F**king with porno stars ruined my marriage,' Lee told the Mirror in June 2023. Lee moved on with Pamela Anderson, who he was married to from 1995 to 1998, and was engaged to Sofia Toufa from 2014 to 2017 before meeting Furlan, 36, in 2017. Lee and Furlan married in 2019 after two years of dating. In 2023, she told People that she and Locklear have a great friendship — and that she knows she will never quite stack up to her husband's former flame. 'Heather and I are very close. She's awesome, I love her,' she explained. 'I think she's the most kind, down-to-earth person. We met through Tommy, obviously, and became close. She's just very cool, very nice, just supportive and just a cool chick all around.' She continued, 'There's a lot that goes on that I don't share publicly that kept that from happening, [but] she's very, very nice, so I've managed to have a relationship with her and I am so grateful for that. She tells me funny stories. Everyone glorifies his relationship with Pam [Anderson], but he was married to Heather for [nearly] eight years!' (Lee and Anderson share two sons, Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger Lee.) When talking about Locklear, Furlan admitted that her husband's ex-wife 'was the love of his life.' 'I see it, because she's just a fun, sweet, caring, awesome person,' Furlan explained. 'Tommy even says he messed up in that relationship. He cheated on her. To this day, that's why they're still really good friends.' Heather Locklear Has Been 'Struggling' With Sobriety, Told Friends She 'Wanted to Go Back to Rehab': Source The actress and former Vine star even said that she sometimes gets frustrated with Lee about how he treated Locklear. 'I yell at my husband, I'm like, 'I can't believe you cheated on her. She's so cool,' she said. 'That was a different time. He was 25 years old, 26 years old. Not to make excuses, but he's a very different man now from all those years ago. You live and you learn.' Solve the daily Crossword

‘I know I'm not perfect': Emtee addresses leaked controversial DMs

Emtee (33), whose real name is Mthembeni Ndlovu, has found himself in hot water after DMs (direct messages) of him allegedly flirting with women surfaced and he has responded after going viral. The drama unfolded when a string of Instagram stories was posted on his personal Instagram page, consisting of private and intimate messages between him and several women. The posts have sparked concern and speculation about the state of his marriage and emotional well-being. In one screenshot, Emtee strikes up a conversation with Siphesihle Lekwadu, commonly known as Mshini, a reality TV star from the Big Brother Mzansi S5 show. In the screenshot, he enquires about her residence and the best time to visit her, and they decide on a face-to-face meeting with Mshini, giving out her residential address. Baby that emoji 🤭 — Morelife15 (@MoreTwoLyf) August 11, 2025 Mshini quickly responded to the allegations through a statement dismissing rumours of a romantic or sexual relationship with Emtee. 'The screenshots shared publicly only show the part where I sent my address, without the full context. This is misleading and does not reflect the nature of our conversations,' reads part of the statement. Mshini's statement This isn't the first time Emtee has been involved in relationship drama. He and his estranged wife, Nicole Kendall Chinsamy, have had a tumultuous relationship, frequently airing their grievances on social media. Emtee issued a statement extending his apologies to Mshini for the controversy and clarified that he wanted to meet up with her to thank her. 'My intention was to meet up with her and thank her. She has been nothing but kind to me, and I appreciated that.'
