THE LATEST HOOK-UPS, MAKE-UPS AND BREAK-UPS
BRITNEY’S BOMBSHELL ABOUT BEN!
Ben Affleck was pictured out with wife Jennifer Lopez looking slightly downcast last week, leading fans to speculate it might have beeen due to the revelations made by Britney Spears.
Continuing to drop bombshells three months after the release of her explosive memoir, Britney rocked the showbiz world again recently when she revealed she had once “made out” with actor Ben. Posting a throwback snap of her and Ben alongside famous songwriter Diane Warren to her Instagram account –which she later made private following the furore –Britney told fans, “Cool pic of me and Ben Affleck and Diane Warren years ago! He’s such an amazing actor. Did I fail to mention I made out with Ben that night… I honestly forgot... damn that’s crazy!”
Adding fuel to the fire, the singer, 42, who has continued to post saucy pictures of herself – including one of her wearing a sequinned leotard – hinted that another celebrity tryst could also have taken place.
She wrote, “Wish I could tell you guys the story that happened before that! Oh dear, I’m just being a gossip girl.”
The snap is believed to have been taken in 1999 at the party for the release of Britney’s first album.
And despite his romance with wife Jennifer between 2002 to 2004 taking the spotlight, Ben, 51, dated actress Gwyneth Paltrow – who has since publicly praised his skills in the bedroom – on and off between 1997 to 2000.
While Britney began dating Justin Timberlake later that same year, Ben married actress Jennifer Garner in 2005 before reuniting with J-Lo in 2021.
BARRY & SABRINA GO PUBLIC
Rumours of a romance between Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan and singer Sabrina Carpenter have been circulating since early December, when the pair were spotted having dinner together.
And now it seems they have finally confirmed their relationship, after they were photographed at a Grammys after-party together.
In the photo, Sabrina, 24, can be seen hiding coyly behind a Champagne glass. Meanwhile, Barry, 31 – who shares son Brando, one, with his ex-girlfriend, dental nurse Alyson Sandro, from whom he split in July 2023 after two and a half years together – covers his lower face with his hand.
The pair are thought to have met at Givenchy’s spring/summer 2024 show during Paris Fashion Week in September.
KAYA & BEN SEPARATE
Kaya Scodelario and Benjamin Walker announced last week that they have separated. Astatement read, “Some time ago Kaya and Ben made the joint decision to end their marriage but continue to co-parent lovingly whilst remaining the best of friends.”
