Jana Kramer DEFENDS husband Allan Russell over polarizing masturbating remarks
Jana Kramer defended her husband Allan Russell against backlash over his comments about masturbating since becoming a married man. After revealing he no longer saw a point in pleasuring himself since they tied the knot last July, the English soccer coach, 44, was widely criticized for sharing such a NSFW confession about his sex life. Weeks after her spouse made the revelation on her Whine Down podcast, the One Tree Hill star, 41, reminded listeners he made the confession on her episode about sex. 'It was a sex episode with a doctor who specializes in intimacy, in sexual relationships,' the mother-of-three stressed. 'It's not like he just randomly was like, "I don't masturbate." We were having a conversation.' She continued: 'Everyone just sees the headline but doesn't really know where it came from or the story behind it.' Kramer explained the topic of conversation came up when she 'asked how many couples would be upset if their partner masturbated.' Although Russell insisted he is more than satisfied with their 'healthy' sex life, Kramer stated she would not be upset if he masturbated. 'I don't like porn because it triggers from the past,' she said. 'I don't hate that he doesn't [masturbate] but I wouldn't be mad at him [if he did.]' As for whether Russell was bothered by all the headlines about his masturbating habits, the best-selling author revealed her man 'was so lovely about it.' 'He goes, "To be honest, it could have read Jana Kramer's husband can't stop masturbating. I see it as respectful, honoring my wife." I was like, "I love your answer to that." He did not care for a second and took it as a, "I'm a man who honors his wife,'" she gushed. On the Wednesday, July 9, episode of Kramer's Whine Down podcast, Russell said 'there's no point where' he's 'actually' felt like masturbating since their wedding. 'There's a part of me [that] is like, I know it's going to come, so I'm not going to ruin it by doing what I need to do selfishly for myself to then diminish or ruin the thing that we have together,' he explained. He continued: 'Therefore I just don't feel like doing it because I would rather have her than go into the bathroom or whatever it is and masturbate.' Prior to their relationship, he admitted that he would 'masturbate a lot' when he was single and felt like it. This was not the first time Kramer's husband has said something headline-worthy on the podcast as back in December he engaged in a candid discussion about her acting career on Whine Down. During the show, the actress and her beau chatted about recent Yellowstone sex scenes, prompting the former soccer star to share his unfiltered opinion about why he won't accept his wife being intimate onscreen. 'I was just like, "There's not part of me that will ever, ever, ever allow that, ever, for a man to be that close to you like that,"' Allan said about his wife potentially filming raunchy scenes. Kramer, who shares one-year-old son Roman with the retired athlete, asked if he'd change his mind if she were cast on a huge series like Yellowstone. He answered, 'I'll be, like, phoning the producers and threatening the producers — "You need to change that scene. For the good of your health, you need to change this scene." 'That's not good for a marriage, that type of role, it's not, especially [for] a man who's not in the acting world. It's difficult. So, therefore, that's my opinion based on [the fact that] I'm not in that world.' To drive his point home, the Scottish athlete said to his wife: 'Can you imagine that we're both actors in a situation where I've stripped this woman naked and I start to go down on her. How would you like that, babe?' The One Tree Hill star weighed in about acting out physical scenes: 'It's literally the most uncomfortable thing ever.' She also noted that love scenes are typically filmed with only the actors and sound techs on set. 'It's so uncomfortable for the people that are doing it. And it's not a sexy thing,' the seasoned performer shared. The television star explained that she doesn't prefer those kinds of scenes, but understands they come with the territory.

"We keep our money completely separate," Romijn said on SiriusXM's 'Andy Cohen Live' on July 17NEED TO KNOW Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn revealed that have separate bank accounts on the July 17 episode of SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live The pair, who have been married since 2007, said they share one "community pot" for their twin daughters' expenses Romijn shared that this was "one of the first conversations" they had when they got engagedJerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn are detailing one rule they have always followed in their marriage. During an appearance on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live on Thursday, July 17, the couple opened up about how they have managed their finances since getting married 18 years ago. When host Andy Cohen joked that O'Connell's finances must be hurting after his hosting gig on The Talk ended last year, Romijn, 52, revealed that she wouldn't know. 'We keep our money completely separate,' she said, later noting: 'That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together.' Romijn explained that they do have one joint account, which they call 'a community pot,' that they each contribute to quarterly. These funds are for 'family expenses' relating to their 16-year-old twin daughters, she said. 'I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes depending on who's working more,' O'Connell shared. 'The one who's not working gets a little bit of a break and the one who is working puts in a little more,' Romijn added. 'And we really tag-team with work.' When their children were born, the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star said she and O'Connell decided that one parent would always be home if the other was away for work. 'So, no one else is ever going to raise them besides us,' she continued.

O'Connell and Romijn have been together for more than two decades after meeting at the Maxim Hot 100 bash in Las Vegas in 2004. The Sports Illustrated cover star was still married to actor John Stamos at the time, although the two were separated. One month later, Romijn officially filed for divorce and began dating O'Connell. They got engaged in 2005 and tied the knot in 2007, going on to welcome daughters Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip the following year. "We had a couple dates in Las Vegas and then I flew home and I needed a ride home from the airport," Romijn recalled while guest-hosting The Wendy Williams Show in 2019. "And I called Jerry and he drove me home and basically never left." They reflected on their instant connection again in an episode of the reality dating show, The Real Love Boat, which O'Connell and Romijn hosted in 2022. "When I met Rebecca — I know you hear 'love at first sight' — I just enjoyed her energy so much, immediately," O'Connell gushed. Romijn added, "We both decided we wanted to be with each other more than anybody else in the whole world. It was pretty cut and dried." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Jason Kelce Reveals the One Thing He'll 'Never' Tell Wife Kylie to Do
Jason Kelce Reveals the One Thing He'll 'Never' Tell Wife Kylie to Do originally appeared on Parade. Jason Kelce shared insight into his dynamic with wife Kylie Kelce, and he revealed the one thing that he'll "never" tell her to do. 'I have never ever, and I will never ever, tell Kylie to do something around the house because she does enough,' Jason, 37, said during the Wednesday, July 16, episode of his "New Heights" podcast. ' If something doesn't get done, it's like, yeah, well, I should be helping out on this. Tell me what I can do because I am worthless unless you tell me that.' The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, share kids Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 3 months. Jason made the comment after a fan called in to ask for advice on how to get her husband to do household chores without nagging. 'I think that what I respond to really well is nagging,' Jason admitted. 'Please nag the f--k out of me. Tell me to get my lazy ass up and take the g-----n trash out. If you tell me to take the trash out, I'm not gonna be like, 'Oh, I can't believe she's telling me to take the trash out.'" While Jason acknowledged that he should be doing chores without the nagging, he admitted that it does motivate him. 'I like the nagging, and I need it because I get caught in my own thoughts, and I forget to do things,' the retired Philadelphia Eagles player said. 'I'm like, 'Oh, I'll get to that later. I'll go do this. I'll do it in an hour. I'll do it in two hours.'" Jason's brother and co-host, Travis Kelce, then chimed in to call the mindset 'the Kelce way."

'I'm like, 'I get that. I'm just letting you know it's not gonna get done unless you tell me to do it,' ' Jason said. 'So I am pro-nagging. I think nagging is a great thing to do.'

My husband's sex addiction has drained me and ruined our marriage… can he ever get better?
DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband's struggle with sex addiction has torn our marriage apart, and I'm completely drained. From escorts to workplace affairs, he can't resist other women. I'm 42 and he's 45. We've been together for over a decade and have two young children. Things began to unravel a few years ago when he started disappearing for hours, coming home late with vague excuses. His phone became off-limits and he became irritable and defensive whenever I asked where he'd been or who he was speaking to. At first, I thought the late nights and secretive behaviour were stress from work. But over time, it became undeniable something was amiss. After months of gaslighting, I snapped and went snooping. I was heartbroken when I found secret apps and deleted messages. Eventually, I learnt he'd been visiting escorts repeatedly, but when I confronted him, he denied everything, twisting the truth and blaming me for being paranoid. I forced him to go to therapy, but he never fully committed and nothing really changed. Recently, I caught him messaging and sexting a female colleague. The betrayal cut deeper than ever. I feel like I'm living with a stranger who hides a whole other life from me. The lies and sneaking around have left me drained and anxious. I worry how it will affect our kids and question if I can keep going like this. Part of me still wants to believe he can get better and that we can rebuild what's been broken. Dear Deidre: Cheating and can you get over it But I don't know how to protect myself emotionally when every step forward comes with two back. DEIDRE SAYS: Living with a partner struggling with sex addiction is painful and confusing, especially when denial and secrecy are involved. Addiction is a complex issue that often requires professional help, but change can only happen if your husband truly commits to recovery. Therapy is a positive step, but as it hasn't worked so far, consider exploring specialist addiction counselling. Read my support packs, Addicted To Sex and Can't Be Faithful, which offer practical advice and resources. If your husband won't commit to positive change, then you do need to look to your own future – for the wellbeing of you and your children. Please consider counselling for yourself to help you take that next step. See I ONLY SEEM TO ATTRACT HURTFUL PEOPLE DEAR DEIDRE: EVERY time I trust someone, they end up hurting me – and I'm starting to think it's my fault. I'm a 39-year-old woman and finally got out of a controlling, abusive marriage last year. It took everything I had to leave. I hoped things would get better, but the patterns keep repeating. One of my oldest friends was constantly putting me down – mocking me, belittling me, even shouting at me when I didn't agree with her. After years of trying to keep the peace, I finally cut ties. Then just weeks ago, a man I'd started to trust turned on me – physically and emotionally. I feel sick and ashamed. I've worked so hard to heal, but it's like I keep getting dragged back to the same dark place. Why do I keep attracting people who hurt me? And why do I always feel like I'm the one to blame? DEIDRE SAYS: None of this is your fault. People who've experienced abuse often develop deep empathy and a desire to keep the peace – qualities that can attract those who take advantage. It's a strength that you've walked away from toxic relationships. That shows growth, not failure. But healing takes time, and you'll need space to process what's happened and understand the patterns. DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER more than a decade together, I thought I knew my wife inside out, but then I saw a side that stunned me. I'm 46, she's 43, and we've been married for 12 years. Things have always been good between us. We laugh a lot, have a decent sex life and she's never given me a reason to doubt her. But last weekend, I had to pop back home unexpectedly and drove through town, where I spotted someone who looked just like her. She was dressed as a man – short wig, men's clothes, and shoes – and chatting to people outside a bar. I pulled over and could see it was definitely her. When I asked her about it later, she denied it. Then she broke down and said it's something she's been doing secretly for years. I don't know how to feel. Has our marriage been a lie? DEIDRE SAYS: Finding out your partner has a hidden side can be deeply unsettling. It's natural to feel confused, hurt or even betrayed as you try to process it. But remember, your wife's cross-dressing doesn't erase the life you've built together or the love you've shared. Honest communication is essential to understand her feelings and what this means for your marriage. My pack, Cross-Dressing Support, offers further guidance. Joint counselling might also help you rebuild trust and find a way forward. FAMILY IGNORE ME SINCE MOVE DEAR DEIDRE: MY family has completely mugged me off – like I only matter when they want something from me. I'm a 36-year-old man and moved to Canada two years ago for work. I knew the distance and time difference might make it harder to keep in touch, but I didn't expect radio silence. I sent messages, updates and birthday wishes – all mostly ignored. I told myself they were busy, that life just got in the way. But then I had a bad fall last year that left me bedbound for months. I was in pain, struggling to manage day to day, and sinking financially. I reached out and asked if one of them could come over, even just for a week, or help me cover basic costs. Nothing. Not even a proper phone call. Now I'm back on my feet, and I've just found out they all went on a big family holiday without me. No invite, no mention. To top it off, my brother has messaged me asking me to put £300 towards a surprise anniversary gift for our parents from 'all of us'. I feel angry, hurt and used. Why should I be generous when they weren't there when I needed them most? DEIDRE SAYS: It's no wonder you feel taken for granted. When you were at your most vulnerable, your family left you to struggle alone, and now they act like nothing happened. It's natural to want closeness and support, especially from those we love, but sometimes we have to set firm boundaries to protect ourselves emotionally. Saying no doesn't make you selfish; it makes you self-respecting. Try to express how their absence made you feel and that things can't go back to normal without honest conversation. Look at my support pack, Standing Up For Yourself, and talk to Family Action ( for emotional support.

Fiona Phillips' husband Martin Frizell reveals they were 'barely talking' and 'living separate lives' before her heartbreaking Alzheimer's diagnosis
Fiona Phillips' husband Martin Frizell has opened up about the toll his wife's Alzheimer's took on their marriage, revealing they were 'living separate lives' before her devastating diagnosis. The former GMTV host, 64, was diagnosed with the progressive brain disorder in 2022, aged just 61. Now, in her candid new memoir, Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer's, published on Thursday, Martin, 66, shared how the couple struggled in the years leading up to her diagnosis. Speaking about the difficult period that began around 2015, Martin recalled: 'Nothing I could say seemed to help. He continued: 'And I guess like in any relationship, the whole thing spirals. Because I felt she was being moody and critical of everything I said and did, I shut down too. 'We were barely talking and while we were still in the same house we were living quite separate lives. 'If we were both at home in the evenings, there would be long silences. After years of being able to chat about anything and everything, we'd run out of things to talk about. 'The long silences can't have been enjoyable for her either, but that was where we had got to.' Martin admitted he never suspected the early signs of Alzheimer's, saying: 'I didn't think for one moment that it was the menopause or, perish the thought, Alzheimer's. 'I just thought we had hit the wall that so many marriages do as the kids get older – ours were now well into their teens – and maybe as a couple we had just run our course.' Earlier this month, the Mail published exclusive extracts from Fiona's memoir, Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer's. In the memoir, the pair - who wed in 1997 and share two children - revealed their marriage was 'falling apart' as a result of Fiona's then undiagnosed battle with the disease. Fiona explained: 'My marriage was coming under increasing strain. 'I'm sure the disease was at least partly responsible, but at the time neither of us could see it. I just became more and more disconnected from Martin and the boys. '"You've totally zoned out of our family and our marriage," he would say to me. "Don't be so bloody ridiculous!" I'd yell back. 'But, if I'm honest, I think he was right. I just didn't seem to have the energy for any of it any more. 'I didn't realise quite how seriously Martin felt about it all until one evening he announced he was moving out. '"Stop being so ridiculous!'" I yelled. "I'm just worn out. I'm tired – of everything." '"That's what you've been saying for years,'" he replied. "Maybe this – our marriage – is what's making you so tired."' Fiona first met Martin when she was working on GMTV as a presenter and he was its chief correspondent. He later popped the question after they had been dating for just four weeks, before they went to Las Vegas to tie the knot in 1997. Last year, he revealed he was stepping down as editor of ITV's This Morning after 10 years in charge, in order to be 'around much more' for his wife during her Alzheimer's battle. Having turned his back on his prolific job, in his own candid words, Martin revealed Fiona now needs 'a lot of help', with his care extending to showering Fiona, brushing her teeth, dressing her and ultimately 'making her feel as safe as possible'. He explained: 'It is January 2025 as I write this, and Fiona needs a lot of help. She needs help showering and brushing her teeth. She can do these things physically, but is unable now to think about how she should do them... 'I wash Fiona's hair because she wouldn't know what shampoo or conditioner to use or how wet her hair needs to be or that she must rinse the soap suds out afterwards... 'And most nights I'll say, "Right, we need to brush our teeth before we go to bed," and I'll put the toothpaste on the brush and hand it to her... 'She is still very stubborn and doesn't like brushing her teeth or feeling that she is being told what to do, so she rails against it.' He detailed how he knows he cannot fight her protestations for fear of illness, saying: 'But this has to be the way, because the worst thing that could happen would be for her to get some kind of tooth infection when she is vulnerable.' While Fiona can put her clothes on, she does not do so correctly, meaning Martin must also assist with this task, among others. He writes: 'She can put clothes on, but may not put them on the right way around, so she does need help dressing.... 'I try to lay out clothes for her to put on in the morning, but she tends to get attached to particular items of clothing and will wear them over and over again.' Martin confessed in the memoir that he 'wishes' Fiona had been diagnosed with cancer rather than Alzheimer's. Detailing his thoughts on Fiona's diagnosis, he admitted: 'Being brutally honest, I wish Fiona had contracted cancer instead. 'It's a shocking thing to say, but at least then she might have had a chance of a cure, and certainly would have had a treatment pathway and an array of support and care packages. But that's not there for Alzheimer's. 'Just like there are no funny or inspiring TikTok videos or fashion shoots with smiling, healthy, in-remission survivors. 'After someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they are pretty much left to their own devices. There is nothing more that can be done and you are left to cope alone. 'Bit by bit, it takes everything. Through time, even the most glamorous, glittering star – such as Fiona was – will be wiped away. 'As time has passed, I have come to understand that if I were to fall ill or worse, the whole house of cards would collapse. I have had to stay well for Fiona.' Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer's, by Fiona Phillips, is out now. What is Alzheimer's? Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain, in which build-up of abnormal proteins causes nerve cells to die. This disrupts the transmitters that carry messages, and causes the brain to shrink. More than 5 million people suffer from the disease in the US, where it is the 6th leading cause of death, and more than 1 million Britons have it. WHAT HAPPENS? As brain cells die, the functions they provide are lost. That includes memory, orientation and the ability to think and reason. The progress of the disease is slow and gradual. On average, patients live five to seven years after diagnosis, but some may live for ten to 15 years. EARLY SYMPTOMS: Loss of short-term memory Disorientation Behavioral changes Mood swings Difficulties dealing with money or making a phone call LATER SYMPTOMS: Severe memory loss, forgetting close family members, familiar objects or places Becoming anxious and frustrated over inability to make sense of the world, leading to aggressive behavior Eventually lose ability to walk May have problems eating The majority will eventually need 24-hour care
