Comedian Fortune Feimster and Jacquelyn Smith are splitting up: Here's what we know
Whispers of a breakup turn into confirmation
According to reports from TMZ, the couple's split happened recently, though the exact timing remains unclear. Sources close to the comedian say she has only just started opening up about the separation within her inner circle, suggesting the situation is still fresh and emotionally raw. At this time, the reasons behind the breakup have not been made public, and both Feimster and Smith have remained tight-lipped.
A private romance that stayed grounded
Feimster and Smith's relationship began in 2016, when the comedian met the schoolteacher. Their romance quietly blossomed, leading to an engagement in 2018 and a small, intimate wedding in October 2020. The pair never had children but appeared deeply supportive of one another throughout their years together. Though they mostly stayed out of the spotlight, Feimster often referenced Smith in her comedy, offering fans glimpses into their relationship through humorous stories and heartfelt moments.
Still bringing laughter despite personal loss
Feimster isn't letting heartbreak slow her down. She's currently touring with her stand-up show Takin' Care of Biscuits, and fans continue to flock to her performances. Her comedy, known for its confessional, real-life tone, often draws from her personal experiences. During a 2023 appearance on The Tonight Show, she quipped: 'My wife, Jax, does not know who anyone is… she only cares about Madonna.'
A new chapter for Feimster
Though her personal life may be shifting, Feimster remains a force in the comedy world. From The Mindy Project to The L Word: Generation Q, she's known for her warmth, honesty and hilarious storytelling. And while fans will miss seeing glimpses of her life with Smith, they're rooting for her next chapter – onstage and off.

‘Professional father': Britney Spears' ex Sam Asghari criticizes Kevin Federline over tell-all memoir
Britney Spears' ex-husband Sam Asghari isn't holding back when it comes to Kevin Federline's latest project. In a recent video shared by TMZ, the 31-year-old fitness mogul was asked about his thoughts on Federline's upcoming tell-all book by a photographer, and his blunt response was a serious dig at the former backup dancer. Sam Asghari shades Kevin Federline's upcoming memoir with savage comment.(AFP, IMDb) While walking along The Abbey, a West Hollywood hotspot, Asghari savagely declared, 'Well, he was a professional father,' and added with a grin, '[Federline's book] would be the first book that'll tell you how to be a professional father.' Federline, who married Britney Spears in 2004, said earlier this month that his new memoir, 'You Thought You Knew,' will examine his well-publicized marriage to the pop star and disclose previously unreported details. The book is scheduled for release on October 21.

The dancer got candid on a press release remarking, 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced non-stop emotional turbulence.' He shares two sons with Spears, Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden James, 18, and famously gained custody of them following their split, along with $20,000 a month in child support. After divorcing Spears in 2007, Federline went on to marry Victoria Prince, with whom he shares two daughters, and has two other children from his past relationship with actress Shar Jackson.

She was briefly married to childhood sweetheart Jason Alexander in 2004 but the relationship was short lived and she went on to marry Federline in the same year. The tabloids went to town following their incredibly messy and highly publicized split, during which period Spears suffered a difficult nervous meltdown. The pop diva met Sam Asghari on set while filming the music video for her 2016 hit 'Slumber Party' and the pair started dating. They got engaged in 2021 and married the next year, but their relationship was turbulent and full of setbacks, including a miscarriage in 2023. They ultimately divorced in 2024. Asghari has publicly shown his affection for his ex-wife despite their failed marriage, even supporting her during the drama surrounding her conservatorship. Although Asghari is currently seeing actress Brooke Irvine, his recent comments reveal that he still harbors protective feelings and loyalty to Spears.

John Cena Gives Stunning Verdict On WWE Heel Turn: "Bombed..."
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar John Cena opened up about his much-discussed 'heel turn' and how it did not go according to plan. Cena believes that his promos did not work initially with the fans and that led to the disconnect. The 17-time champion turned heel after attacking Cody Rhodes at WWE Elimination Chamber to leave the fans completely stunned. It was something that the fans have discussed for a long time but the execution over the next few weeks left them disappointed. Cena told an audience member at Fan Expo Chicago 2025 what he believed went wrong. "I wasn't upset. No, I failed," he said. "Ain't nothing wrong with that. You can learn from failure, right? I went up there and bombed. Shit happens." Cena was open to criticism and even said that he took the failure as teaching moments in his WWE career. The superstar announced that this will be his last year with the company and he has faced a number of stalwarts in the course of his retirement tour till now. "I've changed a lot over the years. I'm not the same person I was yesterday," he says. Earlier, Cena kept the fans guessing about his opponent in the final match of his wrestling career. Cena revealed at the start of 2025 that this will be his last year in professional wrestling and he is all set to have his final fight in December last this year. However, there is still no clarity about who he will be facing. He has already faced stalwarts like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Randy Orton while his next match will be against Logan Paul at WWE Clash in Paris on August 31. During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, he was once again asked about his potential opponent but the legendary WWE star once again left everyone guessing. "No, no, I've never operated like that," Cena said. "It's weird because I've always just been that guy. ... I've just always kind of been reliable and showing up and doing whatever I'm asked. And I really want this tour to be not only special - it'll always be special to me because you guys are out there - I want it to be special for the business. My goal has always been to leave WWE better than I found it, so whoever they deem appropriate to get that energy, man, I'm cool with that."

Who Will Be John Cena's Final WWE Opponent? New Details Emerge
17-time WWE Champion John Cena kept the fans guessing about his opponent in the final match of his wrestling career. Cena revealed at the start of 2025 that this will be his last year in professional wrestling and he is all set to have his final fight in December last this year. However, there is still no clarity about who he will be facing. He has already faced stalwarts like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Randy Orton while his next match will be against Logan Paul at WWE Clash in Paris on August 31. During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, he was once again asked about his potential opponent but the legendary WWE star once again left everyone guessing.

My goal has always been to leave WWE better than I found it, so whoever they deem appropriate to get that energy, man, I'm cool with that." Cena went on to say that he wished he had 'more time' in his wrestling career before recognising that the moment was right for him to move away and shine the spotlight on young talents. "Of course, every part of me. Yeah, absolutely. My body is screaming at me to close the chapter. I'm 48 man, I'll be 49 next year. I'm very grateful to say that WWE has given me almost 25 years to go out and do my thing and be invisible, and it's been fantastic. But I also remember when I was a young kid back in 2002 thinking I'd never get a chance. And then when I did, I came up with a young, hungry class. And I think if I hang around any longer than now, I'm just taking time away from those young guys who could be the next chance to make an impact on something. It's time, man. It's time."
