Dick Van Dyke's wife opens up about ‘curse of living to almost 100'
Dick Van Dyke has experienced heartache in ageing. The 99-year-old Hollywood legend spoke about how he's lost special people in his life during a recent Q&A where he reflected on Ed Asner's death in 2021 before they could make a remake of The Odd Couple. 'That would've been such fun, and we lost it,' said Van Dyke, per People. 'I've lost a lot of friends.' Watch the interview in the video player above. 'He's outlived everybody,' Van Dyke's wife, Arlene Silver, added at the event in Malibu, California. 'That's the curse of living to almost 100,' she shared. But Silver, 53, also noted that Van Dyke is 'still so positive' despite the deaths of so many of his friends and former co-stars. When asked how he maintains a positive outlook on life, Van Dyke replied, 'Well, life's been good to me. I can't complain.' The Mary Poppins star has been married to Silver since 2012. Van Dyke revealed last month how the couple make their marriage work despite their 46-year age gap. 'We get along so well,' he told People, as Silver added, 'We just care about each other so much.' 'Everybody said it wouldn't work,' Van Dyke recalled. Along with a happy marriage, Van Dyke has kept up a healthy lifestyle that he's said involves going to the gym multiple times a week. 'Somebody said, 'To what do you attribute your age and physical condition?' I've always exercised three days a week,' he shared in January on Ted Danson's podcast Where Everybody Knows Your Name. 'We go to the gym still, and I think that's why I'm not stove up like my equals,' Van Dyke said. Danson, 77, told Van Dyke: 'I would go to the same gym you did, and if I got there early enough, I would see you literally work out on some weight machine. And then, almost like you were doing circuit training, you would not walk to the next machine, you'd dance. You literally danced to the next machine.' While his health is fine, Van Dyke faced a scary incident earlier this year when his home was threatened by the deadly Palisades Fire. He and Silver did not evacuate their $US8 million house despite the blaze destroying other celebrity mansions in Malibu and adjacent areas. When the fires hit the couple's neighbourhood, Van Dyke tried to crawl to the car to escape. Luckily, his neighbours came to his aid at the time.

Victoria and David Beckham are facing years of anguish unless Brooklyn steps up and takes control
AS the saying goes, 'A son is a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter all her life.' No-one is feeling that more acutely right now than Victoria Beckham. But she's not alone. 3 3 My own experience of witnessing my mother's pain and confusion as her son slowly became more isolated from us, his blood family, was, and still is, dreadful. Things all start off rosy and then, bit by bit, the relationship gets chipped away to dust. Contact becomes so fleeting that conversations about that person stop because it's all just too painful to keep dredging up. My brother and I now send a cursory text once a year to wish one another a happy birthday - and we only do it to keep my mother happy. I last saw him at her wedding in 2018 when we walked her down the aisle and the next time will probably be in that same church on a far sadder occasion. Victoria and David are facing years of anguish unless Brooklyn steps up and takes control. I've gone past caring when it comes to my own brother, in my eyes the pain and upset he has caused my parents is unforgivable. But for my lovely mum and dad, the enduring love they have for their son will never dissipate. Brooklyn has made his feelings crystal clear, just like my brother. His family is now his wife. I'm sorry to say it but Victoria and David, and Brooklyn's siblings, have got years of heartache to come. Harry and Meghan are the blueprint for Brooklyn and Nicola - but it's not the one to follow 3
