There are still moments I pinch myself: when, over the remnants of turkey and red wine, my divorced parents regale us all with an in-joke from their previous life. When, on the pre-lunch walk, my dad and stepdad stroll in lockstep and talk about finance and even feelings, occasionally. When we've all exchanged gifts, and the most thoughtful gifts are not between husband and wife or parent and child, but ones the divorced and remarried couples have given each other.
Will Arnett uses stand-up comedy as therapy for his divorce from Laura Dern in the new dramedy "Is This Thing On?," directed by Bradley Cooper. It's a funny take on a topic that doesn't sound funny at first blush: divorce that's led by a superstar cast and Eyewitness News Entertainment Reporter calls the chemistry between Arnett and Dern 'perfection.' She sat down with them to talk about the making of the movie.
When I was 10, my dad had a midlife crisis, and, without warning the family, he quit his job to "find himself." My parents had three kids plus a baby, and my mom hadn't been in the workforce for years. It was financially devastating. She ended up divorcing him eventually, but it was bad. Now I'm getting married, and this childhood experience, along with something particular in my husband's past, have led me to make a certain request of my fiancé.
I fully expected when we decided to divorce that the house would be half his, even though the deeds were in my name. I had bought it before we met so it was my mortgage, and he would never have been in a financial position to purchase property at any point,
Divorce is rarely confined to personal spaces and private conversations. For many professionals, it begins to touch work life in subtle and sometimes unexpected ways. Meetings that once felt routine can become difficult to concentrate on, deadlines may suddenly feel heavier, and interactions with colleagues can take on an unintentional tension. Managing emotions while maintaining professionalism is a daily challenge, and it often requires careful attention and patience.
I have seen my mother slit her wrists. I have lived a life, my whole life of chasing her into bathrooms, trying to catch her throwing up. I've been around guns, the mafia, the racetrack. I've been through everything. I've seen her beaten with an inch of her life with a phone. Nothing compares to what my divorce was for 10 years.
Well, yes mom. I did. Why? I didn't know how to say no. Hell, "no" wasn't even in my repertoire. I did whatever I needed to keep the peace. Keep a good GPA. Keep money in my bank account. But now my inability to set a boundary when it came to honoring my own happiness was officially catching up. After six years of marriage, the truth of never wanting an "I do" in the first place had crept up in a myriad of ways,

Reaching a point where you have saved far more than you ever imagined should feel like a triumph. Surpassing your own financial goals is something most investors only dream about. But life is never just about the numbers. For one Reddit user in r/fatFIRE, the moment that should have marked early victory instead came with a painful twist. After building enough wealth to retire in their 30s, they were hit with shocking news.
Our starter home had four bedrooms and three bathrooms, and was an almost 3,000-square-foot home. I had my own garden, an office, and all three of my children had their own rooms, as well as an upstairs playroom. We were also in a really great school district. The home really was a dream come true. Unfortunately, by 2020, our marriage was coming to an end.

In "This Is 40," which premiered Dec. 21, 2012, Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd play Debbie and Pete, a married couple both about to turn 40 while dealing with struggling businesses, parenting two daughters and trying to rediscover a connection in their marriage. I'd been looking forward to seeing the movie for weeks, knowing my husband and I could use a date night with some comic relief, with some way to focus on someone else's marital problems instead of our own.
He was listening to the Limbaugh shit on the radio and working with people who displayed the characteristics of MAGA. After Trump was elected in 2016, he really started to get weird. He would come home spouting bullshit, and he was always contrary, confrontational, and negative. It was weird. I loved him a little less each day. We had been married for 38 years when we finally divorced, and he wasn't the same person anymore. I couldn't stand to be intimate with him anymore.
When I found myself in the wreckage of my third marriage, I finally woke up to the wrenching truth that marriage isn't for me. I looked back on my relationships and came to the sudden realization that, as much as I tried, maybe I'm not the marrying kind, have no idea what I'm doing, or am clueless about what makes a good life partner or how to be one. Or, likely, all of the above.
Divorce lawyers have seen it all - from petty revenge and emotional chaos to jaw-dropping betrayals straight out of a soap opera. In a viral Reddit thread asking, "What's the most insane, evil, or downright dumb way a spouse has tried to screw over the other?" the responses range from hilarious to horrifying - and sometimes, both at once. From people spending six figures fighting over a single ceramic ashtray (only to smash it in front of their ex)
Allura is now going through a divorce of her own, and because of this, she's brought their old mentor, Dina, into the fold to represent her. As we all know, when you're going through a divorce, you have to call up all the best lawyers for consultations so they'll be "conflicted out" - meaning your ex can't hire them. Allura did this with all but one: her nemesis, Carrington Lane.
While going through a divorce in 2020, the topic of after-school care for our two children came up, along with the associated cost. My son was in third grade, and my daughter was starting kindergarten. The thought of my kids being home alone after school gave me so much anxiety. I was insistent about adding after-school care details to the divorce decree, and I agreed that my ex and I would split the cost.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the model and actress wants to legally change 11-year-old Fianna Masterson's name to Fianna Phillips, further cutting ties with the disgraced That '70s Show alum. Phillips is still waiting for a judge to approve the request, but she scored a win on Friday when a judge declared the estranged spouses legally single. Phillips had filed for divorce in September 2023, less than two weeks after Masterson was sentenced to prison for two counts of forcible rape.
Keith Urban has already moved on from estranged wife Nicole Kidman, who begrudgingly filed for divorce late last month after 19 years of marriage. A source told Us Weekly that the Grammy winner, 58, is not dating one person but is open and has moved on from the marriage with Nicole.

When news broke on September 29 that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were separating after 19 years of marriage, the internet was shocked. When news broke one day later, on September 30, that Kidman had officially filed for divorce, the internet was shocked again. But per usual, Nicole did what Nicole does best: she worked. Barely a week after the divorce announcement, she was revealed as Vogue's October cover star. And the internet was gagged.
