    Gisele Bündchen’s secret to a healthy marriage

    No Comments

    Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady are #supercouplegoals. This Brazilian supermodel and American quarterback couple almost seems too pretty to be real. While many celebrity marriages seem to crumble after a few years, this one has lasted over a decade. This is their secret.

    It may come as a surprise, but Gisele’s advice for a healthy marriage is incredibly simple: be attentive. Gisele believes that being present and in the moment is key to a lasting relationship. This comes in small but meaningful steps like putting the phone down when speaking to your partner and maintaining eye contact.

    Speaking to The Guardian, the supermodel explains, “I’ve been with my husband for more than 12 years now and, as you know, men are very… They want a lot of attention. They’re like, they demand… They need a lot of attention, like children do, like your family, your friends. So I think the important part is to have fully present moments with everybody. I think that leads to fulfillment, because they don’t have half of you, they have all of you in that moment and then they get recharged.”

    In 2019, the couple celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. Taking to Instagram, Gisele wrote, “I can’t believe it’s already been 10 years since we’ve chose to walk this life together… and what incredible 10 years we’ve had! There is nothing that I love more in this world than you and our family. Thank you for being on this journey with me and for doing the work that it takes to make it so special. May we continue growing together, walking side by side supporting and loving one another for many many years to come. Te amo tanto❤”

    Celebrities who got married at City Hall

    No Comments

    When it comes to celebrity weddings, it’s likely that you always picture elaborate, out-of-this-world events. This may be the case in most instances. But some celebrities prefer to keep it small.

    They live their lives in the spotlight and perhaps this ignites a desire to keep things small and private on their special day. Over the years, a few celebrities have kept it very small…courthouse ceremony small.

    Dax Shepard and Kirsten Bell wed in the Beverly Hills County Clerk’s Office, Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa married in a Los Angeles Courthouse, and John Legend and Chrissy Teigen made it official in a New York City courthouse. But these aren’t the only ones!

    City Hall is a common destination for private nuptials. The most popular City Hall venue is the one residing in New York City. But celebs have been seen tying the knot in Paris’ City Hall too!

    Here are some celebs who went the intimate route:

    Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery

    The Grey’s Anatomy actress married record producer Chris Ivery in NYC at a secret City Hall ceremony, in November 2007. They kept things as quiet as possible, even using underground tunnels to sneak into the building.

    Emily Ratajkowski and Sebastian Bear-McClard

    Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski wed her producer and actor husband at City Hall in February 2018, mere weeks after meeting him.

    Michael C. Hall and Morgan Macgregor

    The Dexter star went small for his third wedding. He and his bride Morgan Macgregor wed in the NYC City Hall in 2016.

    Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber

    In September 2018, Baldwin and Bieber tied the knot in the NYC City Hall. According to PEOPLE, the pair did so even though they were advised not to. A year later they celebrated their nuptials again in more traditional fashion with a star-studded reception in South Carolina.

    Matt Damon And Luciana Barroso

    The actor met his wife in 2002 and they wed in 2005. Instead of having a big ceremony, they kept it very simple with a City Hall wedding. In 2013, they renewed their vows with a much fancier event at a resort with lots of well-known celebrities in attendance.

    Salma Hayek and Francios Pinault

    The pair made it official on Valentines Day 2009 in Paris’ City Hall. Not long after, they had a ceremony and reception in Venice, Italy.

    Eva Longoria and Tony Parker

    The couple had a small ceremony in a Paris City Hall before celebrating at a 250-person wedding after! Unfortunately, the pair split in 2011.

    The songstress kept it extra casual, wearing black combat boots, as she wed her entertainment reporter husband at NYC’s City Hall in 2017.

    Along with a collage of photos from the years, Pink wrote a sweet message for her husband.

    “So many years, So many hairstyles @hartluck…..We’ve been at this thing a long time, babe. It isn’t perfect, but I’m grateful it’s ours. I love our family. Thank you for walking in front of me, beside me, and right behind me at times. ‘You’re a real man, carey hart.'”

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B7BrkPkpiqB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    Hart shared the sentiments, posting his own tribute on his Instagram page.

    “14 years married to this amazing woman. I’m so proud of the life that we have built together,” he wrote. “Both of us came from broken homes, yet we made the choice to work hard at our relationship. And look at us now! Two misfits when we met, we have grown together and now have an amazing family. Thank you for being my best friend (I know you don’t like that), and amazing mother to our wild kids. I love you so much.”

    Ashley Graham launches size-inclusive bridal line

    No Comments

    Supermodel, entrepreneur and body activist Ashley Graham has been championing for the fashion industry to become more inclusive of plus-size women for years. Her latest collaboration with popular bridal line Pronovias seeks to make what is said to the happiest day of a woman’s life even better.

    Ashley Graham x Pronovias is a bridal line designed with all women in mind. A first-of-its-kind collaboration, Graham worked with Pronovias Chief Artistic Director Alessandra Rinaudo to create a varied collection of stunning bridal designs suited to all body types. The 16-piece capsule collection runs from size 0-34 and costs between $1,000 (R14 148) to $3,500 (R49 518) per dress. The dresses each include new, built-in shapewear and an integrated, supportive bra. The line will be available in early 2020 in Pronovias boutiques and partners across the globe.

    Graham herself knows the difficulties of wedding dress shopping. “From shopping for the perfect wedding dress to the big reveal on your special day, women should feel confident and empowered throughout the entire process,” she said in a press release. “When I shopped for my wedding dress 10 years ago, I had difficulty finding a style in my size that fit well and made me feel special.”

    In an Instagram post, Graham explains she had to compromise on her dream dress because there was simply nothing in the specific shape she wanted that would fit her.

    “I found a silhouette that I loved, but I had to accept major details I didn’t want because there was nothing in that shape that fit me. And it wasn’t even the right size! We ended up adding a panel to a size 10 dress off the rack so it would fit my 16 frame to make it work.”

    “Finding a dream dress is something I would have loved to experience! Andddd I want all of you to be able to have! I’m so excited to be partnering with @pronovias to create a bridal line for everyone. The collection runs from size 0-34 and there is something for any type of bride! There are so many different dresses for anyone from the classic bride to the ultra-glam bride and options with SLEEVES, which I love. By far my favorite part is that every dress has shapewear and bras built-in. I can’t WAIT for you guys to see the collection when it’s out this March! You shouldn’t have to compromise who you are because of what’s on the rack ????”

    Princess Diana’s niece to marry SA businessman

    No Comments

    The late Princess Diana’s niece, Lady Kitty Spencer, has recently become engaged to South African-born chairperson of Foschini Ltd, Michael Lewis. Lewis is also the founder of the Israeli biotech company ProChon Biotech Limited. Lewis, aged 61, has three children and Spencer, 29, will be his second wife.

    The businessman is estimated to be worth a whopping £80 million, but trusted sources say the pair are deeply in love and his wealth has nothing to do with the engagement. “Michael proposed to Kitty before Christmas,” a source told IOL. “She’s been in Cape Town for the holidays and told her mother and the rest of the family. Michael is loved by all of them. Despite his wealth, he’s very humble and low key.”

    Lady Spencer is a model and works with the world’s top fashion houses. In 2018, the cousin of Princes Harry and William was a featured model in Dolce & Gabbana’s Venetian spring/summer print campaign and walked in Dolce & Gabbana’s Secrets & Diamonds fashion show during 2018 Milan Fashion Week.

    Zoe Kravitz reveals first wedding pictures

    No Comments

    Up until now, we have known very little of actors Zoe Kravitz and Karl Glusman’s June 29, 2019 wedding. However, the Big Little Lies star decided to end the year by sharing images of their romantic nuptials.

    Kravitz and Glusman said ‘I do’ in Paris back in mid 2019. Zoe’s father, Lenny Kravitz’s 18th century mansion acted as their wedding venue.

    For their big day, Zoe opted for an ankle length scoop neck dress with a drop waist and full skirt. Instead of heels, she wore ballet flats. Her hair was elegantly pulled back into a low bun and she accessorised with a headband.

    Glusman went classic with a simple black and white tux.

    In the images, it appears Zoe walked down ‘the aisle’ from her father’s staircase, with her family behind her. Pictured is father Lenny, mother Lisa Bonet, step-father Jason Mamoa and half-siblings Lola Iolani and Nakoa-Wolf.

    There were some famous faces at the nuptials, including Alicia Keyes and Zoe’s Big Little Lies co-stars Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley and Laura Derne.

    Here are some other must-see images from their big day.
