Divorce can be one of the toughest things people go through. There's a sense of loss, and sometimes even a sense of shame for not making something work. After all, most wedding vows involve saying that you'll stick by your partner through better or worse. It can make you rethink yourself as a person.
Divorce can feel so isolating because your marriage was something you shared with one specific person. No one else can know how your marriage felt, or how it feels to lose it. You'd think that money and fame would help alleviate the negative feelings that come from divorce, but at the end of the day, divorce is divorce. It hurts no matter who you are.
These celebrities have gone through some very messy, public divorces. In some ways, that means that their relationships had an entirely new set of issues that us common folk aren't even used to having. Hopefully their quotes on divorce can connect with you if you're currently going through a similar situation, or if you're trying to avoid it. What Ryan Reynolds said about divorcing Scarlett will absolutely stun you!
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite?
