Scott Wolf and Wife Kelley Wolf Break Up After 21 Years of Marriage
Originally appeared on E! Online Scott Wolf and Kelley Wolf are no longer a party of two. The Party of Five star's wife revealed June 10 that she and her husband of 21 years are going their separate ways. 'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage,' Kelley wrote on Instagram. 'This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children.' And while the Real World: New Orleans alum explained she would 'not speak publicly about the details' of their separation, she noted, 'I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion.' Kelley—who shares kids Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11, with Scott—also praised the Doc actor for being a great dad to their kids. 'Scott Wolf is one of the best fathers I've ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with,' she continued. 'He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit.' More from E!

'Tension' Rises Between Katy Perry And Orlando Bloom Amid Latest Backlash
and are reportedly hitting a few sour notes in their relationship. A new source claims that Katy Perry has been feeling the pressure following the release of her latest album "143," which dropped in September, and it is causing some "tension" with Orlando Bloom. The insider spoke with PEOPLE Magazine, claiming, 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' they shared. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.' The album, a high-energy, love-fueled dance-pop collection, was designed to be a celebration. 'My vision was to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message,' Perry explained in a statement at the time, referring to the retro pager code meaning 'I love you.' But not everyone was feeling the love. A second source added, 'She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship.' Despite the criticism, Perry has powered through with a sold-out tour that's been met with enthusiastic fans overseas. After selling out three nights in Mexico, prompting the addition of an extra show, the singer is now performing to packed venues in Australia. The "Lifetimes" tour hits the U.S. beginning July 10 in Denver. As for the negative chatter? Perry isn't letting it define her. Back in February, she spoke candidly to PEOPLE about tuning out the noise. 'You shouldn't read it when it's good. You shouldn't read it when it's bad,' she said. 'My therapist said something that really changed my life. What anybody thinks about you is none of your business. It's what you think about yourself.' She also revealed that "143" was born out of 'a real shift' in her life after becoming a mom to daughter Daisy Dove, whom she welcomed with Bloom in August 2020. 'I really tapped into that feminine divine energy. The messages on it are celebratory. They're about love.' Perry and Bloom have been together for nearly a decade and got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019. While the couple has weathered ups and downs over the years, Perry recently showed she's still fiercely protective of her man. During her May 17 show at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the 'Teenage Dream' singer jokingly called out a fan in the audience for sliding into Bloom's DMs. 'Cute grin. I know why you're here,' she teased from the stage before launching into her song 'I'm his, he's mine.' 'Listen, if you keep DM'ing my man... Oh, Kyle? I know, I know. You've been doing it for months, ever since the residency,' she continued. 'If you keep on DM'ing my man, I'm going to have you removed. Seriously, get your own life.' When the fan tried to hand her something, Perry wasn't having it. 'I don't want it. I'm his. I said I'm his. Stay the f-ck away.' Bloom got candid about his relationship with Perry during a 2019 appearance on the "Today" show, emphasizing the importance of being on the same page before walking down the aisle again. 'It's important to me that we are aligned. I've been married and divorced, and I don't want to do it again,' Bloom shared at the time. 'And we're both fully aware of that. She's remarkable and so I'm always so impressed with that and I'm encouraged.' Three years after Orlando Bloom popped the question, Katy Perry opened up about their postponed wedding during an appearance on "The Kyle and Jackie O Show," explaining that the COVID-19 pandemic had put their wedding plans on hold. 'It's a destination location that like, you know, we're still trying for it to work out, but every couple of months it's like, 'New variant! New variant! New variant!'' she said. Last year, Perry opened up about attending couples therapy with Bloom and how it's helped strengthen their bond. Speaking on Chelsea Handler's "Dear Chelsea" podcast, the singer explained that therapy has played a key role in keeping their relationship grounded. 'We love it because it keeps us in tune,' she said. 'The resentment can get really strong when you're both working hard, and so when you want to come back to being normal in a domesticated world where you have a child and stuff like that, you have to really learn how to be kind of different out there in the big and in the small.'

Juneteenth festivities planned for Glencoe, Evanston, Skokie
Juneteenth celebrations, including parades, festivals and educational opportunities, are scheduled for Evanston, Skokie and Glencoe around mid-June. Juneteenth, sometimes called Emancipation Day, officially takes place on June 19 and commemorates the day when enslaved people in Texas finally gained freedom after the Civil War. 'Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until…June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas,' according to the National Museum of African American History. Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday in 2021. North suburban celebrations are planned as follows. Skokie, June 14 Skokie's Juneteenth Celebration, organized by the group Skokie United, is scheduled for Saturday, June 14 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Oakton Park, 4701 Oakton Street, Skokie. Local acts Corey Bless and Tony Garrett will be performing. Admission and parking for the celebration are free, with food available from local Black-owned business vendors like Babito's Bites, Soul Good Coffee and Koala's Kitchen. Skokie United's President Brian Williams spoke at the June 4 Village Board meeting, accepting a proclamation read in honor of Juneteenth. 'June 19th is really historic and important because we don't always recognize African Americans in our community. We recognize cultural differences, we recognize a lot of things, but sometimes just don't point out 'Let's recognize the Black Americans in our community,'' Williams said. Evanston, June 21 Evanston's Juneteenth Parade is scheduled to step off from Dodge Avenue and Dempster Street at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 21. The parade will head north and turn east on Simpson Street and end at the Evanston Civic Center at 2100 Ridge Avenue. Local organizations, schools, nonprofits, marching groups, the Jesse White Tumblers, South Shore Drill Team and more are expected to join the parade. The festivities will continue at Ingraham Park from noon to 4 p.m. An event titled A Divine Nine Juneteenth Legacy Celebration will include art, music, culture and food. More information on Evanston's Juneteenth Parade and celebration can be found online. Glencoe, June 24 Cook County Commissioner Scott Britton's office is coordinating with Cook County Against Hate for an educational event at the Glencoe Historical Society on June 24 from 6 to 8 p.m. titled 'Juneteenth: The Quest for Freedom,' according to Britton's Deputy Chief of Staff Elizabeth Polmanski. The event will focus on former Underground Railroad stops in Cook County. With enough room for 45 attendees, the program will begin with a tour of the historical society's 'Glencoe's Black Heritage' exhibit. At 7 p.m., the program continues with a lecture from historian and author Larry McClellan, an expert on the Underground Railroad, according to Polmanski. The Glencoe Historical Society, located at 375 Park Avenue, debuted its 'Glencoe's Black Heritage' exhibit in 2022. Last year, the historical society stripped the name of Sherman Booth from the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Sherman Booth Cottage because research showed Sherman Booth had written racist real estate covenants about a century ago to prevent Blacks and Italians from buying homes in Glencoe. Booth was, among other things, the attorney of famed architect Wright. It has been renamed the Ravine Bluffs Cottage. In 2024, the society received a Leadership in History Award of Excellence from the American Association for State and Local History.
