Sophia Thomalla’s ex dares to take the next step

What many people may not have on their radar: Sophia Thomalla, 34, who has been happily in a relationship with tennis star Alexander Zverev, 26, since 2021, was once married – to the Norwegian musician Andy LaPlegua, 48. Thomalla’s marriage ended in 2017 confirmed to “Bild” with the words “It’s true, the chapter is closed.” Her ex has also let a new love into his life and is ready for the next step: LaPlegua has gotten engaged to Maegan Mc Kenney.

The tattoo model is overjoyed and holds her large, sparkling gold ring into the camera. Andy asked his Maegan the question of all questions during a boat trip – and she said “yes”. The singer of an industrial band writes about several recordings of this special trip: “@maeganmachine said “yes”. I caught an incredible fish and was able to celebrate it on the bluest of all blue seas.”

Roger Federer gives insight into his new life away from professional sport

In September 2022, Roger Federer, 42, ended his tennis career in London. His farewell from the field was highly emotional – not only for him, but also for his family and fans. How did Federer end his career? Now the athlete speaks in the “GQ” interview about his new life away from professional sports and admits: He feels “peaceful” and “relieved.”

In the conversation, the 42-year-old remembers how difficult it was for him to say goodbye, but how quickly a different feeling set in. “You could feel that the end was getting closer. When it’s all over and you’re officially retired, you take a deep breath and think: ‘Wow, okay, that was good,'” said Federer. For him, the end of his career was better than he could have dreamed. The pressure was taken off him. Now Roger Federer is focusing on his family and only plays tennis out of passion. “Being a tennis player was my hobby, and then it became my profession. But I always tried not to identify myself as just a tennis player,” he explains. It is this attitude that makes his retirement so easy for him. Because first and foremost he was always a father and husband.

When asked if he would miss tennis, the eight-time Wimbledon winner responded calmly: “I don’t miss it. I really don’t miss it. I feel really calm.” This feeling comes mainly from ” […] that I know that my knee, my body and my mind don’t allow me to be out there.” Being on the pitch with his four children and his wife Mirka completely fulfills the 42-year-old.

Matthew McConaughey and Emma Stone enjoy Oscar night

On the evening of the 96th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, Hollywood stars Matthew McConaughey, 54, and Emma Stone, 35, first high-fived each other and then celebrated together. This is proven by a photo that McConaughey’s wife Camila, 41, has now published on Instagram.

It was her night: Emma Stone won her first Oscar for best actress for her role in “Poor Things.” Eleven years earlier, Matthew McConaughey took home the Golden Boy award in the top category for his performance in “Dallas Buyers Club.” This Sunday evening, March 10, the actor had the honor of giving a eulogy with several Oscar winners and then presenting the award to Cillian Murphy, 47. After the official award ceremony, when the cameras had disappeared, there was a big celebration. How much Matthew and Emma like each other is clear from a selfie that his wife took and then posted on her Instagram account with the word “gorgeous.” McConaughey and Stone have known each other for a long time; they appeared together in front of the camera in 2009 for the comedy “The Womanizer – The Night of the Ex-Girlfriends.”

That’s why Bradley Cooper’s Oscar date with Gigi Hadid fell through

Bradley Cooper, 49, and Gigi Hadid, 28, have been dating for about four months. An insider recently revealed to “Closer” magazine that the actor plans to propose to the model soon. “He’s now openly talking about wanting to buy a ring and saying she’s the one,” it said. It was therefore assumed that the “Maestro” director and the 28-year-old would make their red carpet debut at the Oscars. But things turned out differently: Instead, the Hollywood star walked the red carpet of the Dolby Theater with Mama Gloria on Sunday, March 10th.

A source now reveals to Us Weekly why Cooper and Hadid’s Oscar date fell through at the last minute. Last weekend, Bella Hadid’s sister, 27, flew back to New York because “she took a job at short notice and had to return.” If the filmmaker was disappointed by this, he didn’t show it: he seemed to be having a lot of fun with his mother at the Academy Awards. No wonder, after all, Gloria Campano has often accompanied him to award ceremonies.

Franca Lehfeldt allows herself a joke at the expense of Catherine, Princess of Wales

No, no, Franca Lehfeldt, 34, is not expecting offspring – or triplets – with husband Christian Lindner, 45. Due to her visual similarity to Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, the presenter is drawn into the media whirlwind surrounding Kate’s photo faux pas . Background: After criticism of the Mother’s Day photo with her three children from March 10th increased, Prince William’s wife, 41, pulled the emergency brake. She admitted on Instagram that she had edited the recording and publicly apologized.

However, the media flood of conspiracy theories, expert opinions and memes shows no sign of letting up. And so Lehfeldt becomes the subject of the latter.

Sky du Mont speaks openly about his sex life

Mirja, 48, and Sky du Mont, 76, have officially gone their separate ways since 2016. The actor has been in a relationship with the Austrian journalist Julia Schütze since 2022. In his new book “I’m looking forward to tomorrow”, which was published on March 11th and is available to “tz”, the 76-year-old talks openly about his love life. “After separating from my wife, I actually thought that was it. No more sex, no more fun, loneliness will be my fate, in the future I will only dream of tenderness and passion,” he writes. But the opposite happened: he was now happier than ever and was enjoying life to the fullest.

“No person is ever too old for their hearts to not be able to get pumped up again. This wonderful feeling of getting completely involved with someone again, of opening yourself up, of offering yourself with everything you are and have, and of togetherness It’s not something that simply disappears at a certain age. It only disappears when we have the attitude ‘Shut the shop – nothing works anymore!’ “Go through life. But the store doesn’t have to be closed, and there can still be a lot going on. Even during sex,” it continues. Finally, du Mont emphasizes that regular sex is good for the body and mind.

Kate Beckinsale posts pictures from the hospital visibly distressed

Just over a month ago, Kate Beckinsale, 50, was in a good mood at the Golden Globes – now the actress is posting frightening pictures on Instagram that show her in the hospital. And although she doesn’t comment on what’s wrong with her and what exactly the hospital stay is all about, it’s still clear that the “Pearl Harbor” –Star not good. Her words sound dejected, almost hopeless. Because what is actually supposed to be a Mother’s Day greeting to your beloved mother is a deep insight.

After congratulating her, she thanks people who she doesn’t name by name, but who “support her when everything sucks.” These people would encourage her to remember that there are also “happy things when we can’t. And they show up when we’re sick and keep us company.” Beckinsale documents the fact that this is obviously the case at the moment with a few photos that show not only her mother and herself but also a friend who is at her side during her stay in the hospital. We can only hope that the actress can return home soon and recover quickly.

“Harry Potter” star Bonnie Wright: giving birth in the bedroom
