Maria Bello files for divorce from French chef wife Dominique Crenn after one year of marriage
Maria Bello has filed for divorce from French chef Dominique Crenn. The Coyote Ugly star, 58, is calling it quits on her marriage with Dominique, 60, after one year, according to TMZ. The actress filed for divorce on Wednesday, listing April 7 as their separation date, precisely one year after they said 'I do.' Maria cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for their split. The star confirmed there are no child custody or support matters to resolve, since the two have no minor children together. It's unclear if the estranged pair signed a prenup. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Maria is requesting that mediation costs be shared with her estranged wife, and states that spousal support terms are to be outlined in a separate written agreement. The actress first went public with Dominique in 2020, announcing that they had gotten engaged the previous year. In April 2024, they were both seen flashing their rings at the Time 100 Gala, leading to speculation they had already exchanged vows. The two confirmed their wedding last May, with Maria revealing she and Dominique held their 'bohemian, chic' nuptials in Cabo San Lucas with 140 loved ones in attendance. Their guest list included Mariska Hargitay, Gavin Rossdale, Vanessa Getty and Oscar-winner Patricia Arquette, Maria told People. The pair spent a chunk of their engagement in Mexico during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and the nation became their 'home away from home,' they said. For their venue, they selected the Montage Los Cabos in Cabo San Lucas, which they fell in love with in part because of the 'stunning' vistas on view. During the ceremony, Dominique arrived to the Prince song KISS, accompanied by her 10-year-old daughters from a previous marriage and by her ex-mother-in-law, who is the children's grandmother. Maria then appeared to Burna Boy's Time Flies, along with her son Jackson McDermott, 23, whom she had with studio executive Dan McDermott. For her grand entrance at her wedding ceremony, Maria was also joined by her mother Kathy Bello, a teacher and nurse. Dominique, the first woman chef to earn three Michelin stars in the United States, got engaged to Maria in December 2019 while on holiday in Paris. Early in their relationship, the couple weathered a frightening storm together when Dominique was diagnosed with breast cancer. Dominique — who served as a consultant for the Ralph Fiennes film, 'The Menu' — recalled that upon hearing the news, Maria told her: 'I'm here and I'm going to be here for all the time during the time of this.' 'Listen, I just knew. I just knew and so did she,' Maria explained to People, saying she had 'never smiled as much' before as she did during her time with Dominique. They announced their engagement at Elton John's Oscars viewing party in February 2020, and later that night posed side by side at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. In 2013 Maria wrote about love in a New York Times essay. She was dating Clare Munn at the time; they were together from 2011 until 2016. 'I didn't think of it as romantic or sexual,' she wrote. 'She was one of the most beautiful, charming, brilliant and funny people I had ever met.' 'But it didn't occur to me that we could perhaps choose to love each other romantically.' She also said, 'Love is love.' The blonde beauty has also dated McDermott - from 1999 to 2006 - and together they have son Jackson. Bellow was with Bryn Mooser from 2008 until 2010. After Maria split from Munn in 2016, she also dated Elijah Allan-Blitz.

A video recording a fierce quarrel between a couple in Singapore over the fact that one of the husband's female colleagues calls him 'baby' has gone viral.

Photo: Instagram/tiagong_sg When the woman questions him why a female colleague calls him baby, the man asks her to lower her voice. But this only irritates her more. 'I want to let everyone hear. You betrayed me!' shouts the woman. The man says: 'She calls everyone in the office baby. Everyone.' Advertisement The woman apparently does not buy it, and asks: 'She calls everyone baby. Are you sure?' While the man begs the woman to stop quarrelling, she continues: 'You do not tell me what to do. I tell you what to do.'

I have great sex with lover but she's gone cold on me – is our huge age gap to blame?
DEAR DEIDRE: THE woman I've fallen for seemed keen at first, but now she's gone cold on me and I fear it's the big age gap between us. I was excited to start a relationship with her, especially after we slept together. Now I feel like a fool. I'm a divorced 58-year-old man and she's 20 years younger. She is single and has a teenage son. I met her at a friend's party and was instantly smitten. To my surprise, she flirted with me and later asked for my number. We messaged for a couple of weeks with lots of sexy chat. Then I took her out for dinner and we had a wonderful evening. She came back to my house and we had a passionate session of foreplay on the sofa. After that, we met several times, but always at my place. She didn't want to go anywhere public. The one time I did manage to persuade her to come out, to the theatre, it felt like she was walking ten paces in front of me all night. I now think she was embarrassed about being seen with an old man. We did have sex a few times — which was passionate and fulfilling for both of us — yet she would never stay over. When I asked what was going on, she said her son wasn't happy about us seeing each other and she had to respect that. Cheating and can you get over it Since then, she's messaged less and less. It feels like she's cooled. The problem is, I've realised I'm in love with her. Have I wasted my time? DEIDRE SAYS: It does sound as if you would be better off accepting that this relationship isn't going to progress. It is possible she really did like you at first and wanted to develop something with you. But her son is a teenager, and she has clearly decided, rightly, that his needs must come first. It might not be your age that's the problem. He could have some personal issues, or perhaps he's upset about her break-up with his dad and can't cope with her having a boyfriend. It is also possible she has simply changed her mind about you. I know this isn't what you want to hear, as you clearly care for her. But you can't change someone else's feelings or circumstances. My support pack, Mending A Broken Heart, should help you move forward. I CAN'T MAKE FRIENDS DUE TO CRIPPLING SHYNESS DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN I see other people having normal relationships and friendships, it makes me feel so left out and jealous. I'm sick of being lonely, but I'm pathologically shy and don't know how to change. Although I have a good job in IT, I've never had any real friends or a girlfriend. I'm now 32. I find talking to people painful, so I avoid it. People think I'm rude or stand-offish and I give up trying. While I like my own company, I'm tired of always being alone. I envy other people who go out and have fun together. I've had acquaintances, but nobody I could call a real friend. And when girls are near, I turn red and can't speak to them. My family says the problem is that I'm too self-conscious and should stop overthinking it. They tell me to be myself. But it's not that easy. What can I do? DEIDRE SAYS: The fact you have a job and acquaintances shows you can cope around other people. Presumably, you passed an interview and have to communicate at work. I think your family is right – you are overthinking things. My support pack, Raising Self-esteem, should help. Severe shyness can be a medical problem. It is worth talking to your GP, as there may be medication or therapy that can help. Also read my support pack, Shyness And Social Anxiety. Practise talking to people in the mirror. Asking lots of questions is a good start. SON'S ANXIETY IS ALL MY FAULT DEAR DEIDRE: MY son suffers from panic attacks and terrible anxiety – and it's all my fault because I didn't leave his horrible dad sooner. I feel so guilty that I didn't protect him and now I want to make everything better. But I don't know how to. I'm a 44-year-old divorced mother with a boy aged 19 and a girl of 17. My ex-husband wasn't ready to be a father when I got pregnant with our son, and as a result he was distant with him. He was always a sensitive, sickly child, and my ex-husband treated him like he wasn't good enough. From his early teens, our boy developed anxiety, which only seems to get worse. He is convinced bad things will happen, is a hypochondriac – the slightest pain must be cancer – and he can't hold down a job. He dropped out of school because he couldn't get through his exams. He finds it very difficult to sleep, he's frightened of his vivid nightmares and often has the most debilitating panic attacks, where he can't breathe. All I want is for him to be happy. I know I should have left his dad when he was little, but I was stupidly in love and didn't realise the long-term effect of his behaviour. DEIDRE SAYS: Please don't blame yourself. Your son's anxiety disorder is not your fault and may have developed regardless. Leaving a spouse is never easy. You love your son and want to do what's best for him. You can help him to seek help and show him you are there for him. Encourage him to see his GP, who can refer him for cognitive behavioural therapy, which is highly effective in dealing with anxiety disorders. Keep talking to him and reassuring him. My support packs Coping With Panic Attacks and Living With Anxiety contain useful information and sources of help. HE JUST LAUGHS IF I TELL HIM TO LEAVE DEAR DEIDRE: I'M trapped in a relationship with a man who laughs when I ask him to leave. After three years together, I've realised he is just using me for my flat and my money. I'm 36 and he's 42. When we first met, he was charming, kind and so attentive. I was sure he was the love of my life. He quickly moved in with me, and that's when everything changed. The charm went and he became selfish and started lying. I'm pretty sure he's cheating with other women. He's certainly not interested in sex with me any more, saying I've put on weight. Although we earn the same, he spends all his money on treats for himself, leaving me to buy food and pay the mortgage plus all the bills. I've told him I'm not happy and asked him to leave, but he laughed in my face. I don't know what to do. Please help. DEIDRE SAYS: So often, people like this with an unreasonably high sense of their own importance are charming at first. That's how they manipulate people. Now he's shown his true colours. Your relationship sounds abusive and you're right to want to end it. See my support pack, Abusive Partner, for help. As you own the flat and are paying the mortgage, he has no legal right to stay. Seek legal advice on how to get him out.

Chris Hughes reveals his relationship status with JoJo Siwa as he gushes she's become his 'favourite human' after she confirmed their romance
has revealed his relationship status with JoJo Siwa, after the singer confirmed their romance with a sweet on-stage tribute. The Love Island star, 32, has formed a close bond with the dancer, 22, since they met in the Celebrity Big Brother house last month, but had kept it coy when grilled about the status of their relationship. And while answering fans' questions in a video for clothing brand House Of Cavani, Chris had a simple one-word answer when asked whether he and JoJo were in a relationship. The presenter answered: 'Happy. That's my relationship status - happy. Yeah, I'm just happy that's good. I'm happy with that.' However despite the guarded answer, Chris still gushes about his close relationship with JoJo, admitting she's become his 'favourite topic of conversation.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He said: 'She's just just my favourite human and somebody I can literally talk about relentlessly.' Chris, who recorded the Q&A three days before he and JoJo were reunited on Sunday, also said he was 'missing her' and was struggling with 'separate anxiety' after flying back to the UK following a week with her and her family in the US. During her performance in London on Tuesday, JoJo appeared to confirm their friendship with Chris had blossomed into romance, before breaking down in tears as she told fans she feels 'incredibly loved.' The star once again performed her cover of Bette Davies' Eyes, and changed the end of the song's lyrics to sing ' Chris Hughes ' Eyes.' Admitting she'd changed the end of the song because it made her 'happy,' she added: 'I'll tell you this much, if it's not obvious, that ending lyric is very much true,' sparking a huge cheer from the fans in attendance. Chris had attended JoJo's first show in London the previous night, but the star admitted he couldn't attend Tuesday's performance. So instead, the dancer revealed she'd brought along the orange beanie he'd given her while in the house, after she caught Christopher singing one of her hits while she was still asleep. She told the audience: 'This morning I woke up and all I heard was [sings Nobody Can Change me] he was singing, so I figured today I'd bring a little bit of him while I sing this next song.' As the show came to a close, JoJo then broke down in tears at the crowd's reception, and emotionally told her fans that after once feeling she was 'one of the most hated people in the world,' she feels 'so special and so loved.' She said: 'London can I just say, as Joelle a very serious thank you I'm going to take my last two minutes to get a little deep with you all. 'I've gone through a lot of phases in my life, it's crazy what I'm about to say out loud. 'Since I was nine, I've gone through phases of my life where, at times, I have been one of the most hated people in the world. 'I'm not asking for sympathy, it's OK, but I've been hanging onto things that are out of my control. 'It was really really bad when I was 14. But, right now, personally and professionally I feel incredibly loved. 'And it just, nights like this, I don't cry that often, nights like this it just it really hit me, and I can be up here an sing my songs and commit to the bit, but I just want you to know inside my heart is smiling. 'And I feel like, I just feel so grateful because in my life right now, in roms like this and at home I feel so loved and I feel so special. 'I wanna take a second, and remind everybody if you're doing through a hard time, I promise it gets good, just keep pushing troops.' The previous evening, Chris was filmed beaming at JoJo and blowing her a kiss as she performed her on-stage tribute to him. The Dance Moms star then revealed a rhinestone-covered Sunderland football shirt, the team Chris supports, after they were promoted to the Premier League on Saturday, telling the crowd: 'This is for somebody special who's here tonight.' The pair were then spotted leaving the venue together, with Chris going onto share a cosy snap of himself and JoJo cuddling in bed watching Dumb and Dumber. Despite frenzied speculation around her relationship with Chris, JoJo was noticeably coy when grilled about their bond in Monday's Lorraine. Lorraine's step-in host Andi Peters asked the star if they have had a chat, similar to how they do in Love Island, to make themselves 'exclusive'. JoJo laughed at the question and said: 'Chris and I have had a lot of chats. 'We've never gone into the kitchen and the head is turning, we've never had that version. He's the best man.' JoJo and Chris were reunited on Sunday when she jetted to the UK, with the former Love Island seen waiting to greet her with a bouquet of roses. 'I will say he is up there as one of my favourite people in the entire world, he makes me happier than I think I've ever been, he makes me feel so full as me, he's a really good one who has been the most incredible addition to my life,' JoJo gushed. Over the weekend JoJo revealed she was missing Chris - just days after the couple were spotted sharing a kiss during a romantic, adults-only getaway in Mexico. The American dancer shared a cosy black-and-white photo of the pair strolling along a street together, with Chris wrapping one arm around her shoulder. Posting the photo to her Instagram Stories, she captioned it: 'Just a lil longer' alongside a love heart emoji. Last week, the pair appeared to 'confirm' their romance after jetting to Florida with JoJo's family to celebrate her 22nd birthday, as they were spotted kissing in a swimming pool. It comes after on Saturday JoJo's love life took a surprising new direction as she reportedly believes Chris is 'the one' and sees a long-term future with him. A source exclusively told that JoJo believes Chris would make 'a tremendous father.' JoJo - who recently declared she no longer identifies as a lesbian - is 'telling people that Chris is The One in a dramatic twist in the way she has lived her life over the last few years,' the insider said. 'She feels more alive than she ever has been with anyone else. With Chris, she realized that this is exactly what she has wanted for so long.' The insider confirmed the romance, stating: 'The rumours are true, they are a thing and it is going very well.' More than just a fleeting romance, JoJo sees a long-term future with the reality star. 'Another thing she has wanted for so long is children. And she feels that Chris would be a tremendous father if they decided to go down that route.' The source added, 'Things are happening at a breakneck pace to the outside eye, but to them it is going at a pace that feels absolutely right.' It comes after on Saturday JoJo's love life took a surprising new direction as she reportedly believes Chris is 'the one' and sees a long-term future with him Earlier this week the pair couldn't keep their hands off each other in new snaps uploaded by the singer - after 'confirming' that they are together with a kissing pool snap. On Wednesday, JoJo shared intimate snaps with Chris to her Instagram page as they spent time together on her special day.

'Absolutely beautiful, wouldn't change a single thing, a week I'll remember for the rest of my life.'

Hugh Jackman's cryptic Instagram post raises eyebrows as Deborra-Lee Furness officially files for divorce
has made a telling post after ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness officially filed for divorce from her husband of 27 years. The Greatest Showman star, 56, took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a clip of him nailing a skipping routine in his show Hugh Jackman Live From New York With Love, which he's performing at Radio City Music Hall. However, it was the clip's chosen background track - NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye - that raised eyebrows considering the recent divorce developments. The video, which was posted to his 34.1 million followers, is clearly a reference to Deadpool & Wolverine, the 2024 flick that he filmed with Ryan Reynolds which features the hit song. However the timing of the post - as well as its one word caption - made it all the more cryptic. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Finally,' he captioned the video, alluding to the length of time it took to nail the routine. The video was posted the same day that Deborra-Lee took a swipe at her estranged husband amid the flurry of rumours that he cheated on her with his current girlfriend Sutton Foster. Following her decision to officially file for divorce from the Les Miserables star two years after announcing their separation, the Australian actress, 69, addressed her heartbreak in an exclusive statement to 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' She continued, 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' She concluded her statement with the 'one thing' that she has learned, which is 'that none of this is personal,' adding, 'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. 'We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves...I remain grateful.' Back in January, exclusively reported that the estranged spouses had yet to file as their decision to dismiss a prenup was proving to be a point of contention. Insiders at the time claimed that their split could get 'messy' as they were struggling to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune. 'One of the biggest reasons why they haven't yet filed is that they never had a prenup,' an insider close to Jackman said. 'When they got married, they thought it would be forever. Who doesn't? At the time, neither of them expected Hugh's career to get as enormous as it has. 'Because there was no prenup, and he made a fortune during their marriage, this divorce is not going to be cut and dry. It may even get messy because the stakes are high. A lot of moving parts need to be worked out and there is a huge amount of money involved.' The insider insisted they both wanted to 'make this as easy as possible,' but that after three decades and one partner becoming a massive A-list star, 'it's not quite that easy.' In March, the divorce was brewing but they struggled to reach an agreement on how to divide their assets, a source revealed to 'Hugh and Deborra-Lee have not yet filed for divorce because they are struggling to reach an agreement on how to divide their assets,' a source said. 'Deborra-Lee feels entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer.' Her insistence on getting a bigger chunk of their estimated fortune was said to be fuelled by the murky origins of his romance with Foster. 'While he didn't physically cheat on her with Sutton, Deborra-Lee believes they were having an emotional affair and she feels he betrayed her,' the source continued. Their marriage started to fall apart during Covid, as previously reported by around the same time that Jackman struck up a friendship with Foster, his costar on the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man. She was married to Ted Griffin at the time (Griffin and Foster are also in the midst of finalizing their divorce). Furness and Jackman announced the end of their marriage in a shock statement in September 2023, telling fans that they were 'shifting' and as a result had decided to 'separate to pursue our individual growth.' They were married in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1996 before adopting their son Oscar, now 24, in 2000. Five years later they completed their family unit when they adopted daughter Ava, 19.
