Splitsville: The Divorce Thread

[The Brunette]

My theory (probably not true, but I can’t help thinking it) is that she’s a closet Scientologist and ordered disconnection. Him taking up Scientology would be logical in the worst way … anyone remember the rumors that he was possibly gay?

I read that Aaron stopped talking to his family in 2014, which was when he started dating Olivia. I'm definitely not a fan of blaming the significant other in these situations, as it's obviously Aaron's fault and decision if he let his relationship cause a rift between himself and his family, but it does sound like something was up. Also there is something about Olivia that I don't like, so I'm probably allowing that to color my perception of this.

Another rumor I have heard more than once is that Olivia was Aaron's beard and that he used to date his (male) assistant. Supposedly he was considering Taylor Swift for the bearding role before Olivia. And his ex-assistant posted a bunch of cryptic stuff on Twitter when Aaron and Olivia started dating.

ETA: I see that The Brunette has already referenced the gay rumors.

And here is a piece from last year about the rumors:

Remember back in 2013, when Aaron Rodgers was accompanied to banquets and other official events by Kevin Lanflisi, the man who had been his personal assistant and roommate since 2008?

Five minutes later, a bunch of NFL players were rumored to be coming out of the closet. The rumors swirled that Aaron Rodgers was one of the NFL players who was coming out.

Another five minutes later, something went terribly wrong with the long-time Rodgers-Lanflisi relationship. Lanflisi let loose with a string of angry and cryptic Twitter messages like “I wish you would learn to love people and use things… not the other way around,” and “Silence always comes with an expiration date.”

Another five minutes later, Lanflisi moved out of Rodgers’ house.

Another five minutes later, Aaron Rodgers started dating actress Olivia Munn.

Apparently Lanflisi has since gotten married, and Aaron didn't attend his wedding.

TMZ is reporting that Janet Jackson has split from her husband.

From US Weekly:

Multiple outlets are reporting that the couple, who wed in 2012, have called it quits, with the Mail on Sunday reporting that the Grammy winner plans to continue living in London with her baby.

I was NOT expecting this. I mean, she just had that baby a few months ago! And she was so focused on postponing her tour to start her family with him. I feel like something very, very definitive caused her to split.

[discoprincess]

What?! She just had her baby. She got married in secret. She put her comeback tour on hold to focus on family.

I know LSA is blowing up right now...

[Sunnyhorse]

I hope she and the baby are safe. That seems like a really drastic step to take so early in a baby's life, so I, too, am guessing that something bad went down. (See also: Denise Richards.)

Speaking of LSA blowing up, Jesse Williams' divorce looks to be getting ugly. (Source is Page Six, so block of salt and all, but still.)

Williams’ rise in Hollywood is to blame for the actor’s change of heart about his marriage, friends believe. “She poured money into this relationship and sacrificed her life for him, and now he wants to go out and be the hot single Hollywood guy. Jesse wants to . . . do whatever he thinks will make him a bigger star. He’s drinking his own Kool-Aid and it’s ‘the Jesse show.’ He’s dead f - - king wrong. He did not respect those vows. He wants to be single,” the source said.

Williams has been linked to Derek Jeter’s ex Minka Kelly, who he was photographed with in France, and friends tell us he is “currently seeing Minka.” But another source close to Williams insists, “They’re working on a video game with quite a few other people.”

If the Minka thing is confirmed for sure....

[luminosa]

I don't know why I care about this one, but I do. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors and if it was just them splitting, I'd be less bothered...but...with Minka in the mix (Minxy?) it disappoints me that he is another dick letting his dick guide him. Also, if true, shame on her too. He is the married one, but she knows he is married and she I'm sure is not lacking single, attractive men knocking on her door.

From Page Six:

The first couple of cable news, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, are engaged to be married, sources have exclusively confirmed to Page Six.

The MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-hosts got engaged this past weekend during a romantic trip to the south of France and Monaco to celebrate Brzezinski’s 50th birthday.

They denied romance rumors for years, which date back to when one or both were married to other people. (Even Donald Trump tried to out them on Twitter during the campaign.) Yet, both Joe and Mika quietly divorced their spouses. I wonder how long this marriage will last.

[jmc]

Rumors date back to at least Joe's divorce. TMZ coyly suggested Mika was the reason for the collapse of Joe's marriage.

They sound and look happy in their offical interview about their engagment. I can't help it, I'm rooting for them. Maybe the third time will be the charm for Joe.
