  • Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest son testifies against father in court

    Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest son testifies against father in court

    Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest son Maddox Jolie-Pitt has reportedly testified in the former couple’s divorce trial and has said not “very flattering” things about his father.

    “Maddox has already given testimony as [an] adult in the ongoing custody dispute, and it wasn’t very flattering toward Brad,” an “inside” source told Us Weekly on Thursday. “He doesn’t use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren’t legal and instead uses Jolie. Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn’t support.”

    The report comes hours after Jolie reportedly told the court that she will offer “proof” at trial to support her claims of domestic violence against ex-husband. Court filings, submitted last week, indicate that Jolie and her children are willing to offer “proof and authority in support” of the abuse claims. Reports further said that Jolie said she is prepared to detail her negative experiences with Pitt, during their 10-year relationship and two-year marriage.

    Jolie and Pitt have six children. Besides, 19-year-old Maddox, there is Pax, 17, and Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.

    Jolie, 45, and Pitt, 57, have been embroiled in a bitter custody and divorce battle since Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, ending their jet-setting, movie star lifestyle together that made them one of Hollywood’s superstar couples.

    Soon after the couple’s split, it was revealed that Pitt was being investigated by the FBI and child welfare services in Los Angeles, related to reports he got “verbally abusive and physical with his children” on a private jet returning from Europe. A number of reports claimed that Maddox was the main focus of Pitt’s aggression on the flight. However, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services cleared Pitt in November 2016 after investigating the actor.

  • Man accuses ex-wife of arranging ‘incestuous marriage’ as revenge

    Man accuses ex-wife of arranging ‘incestuous marriage’ as revenge

    A man from a village in Sargodha has registered a complaint claiming that two half-siblings have tied the knot with the support of his divorced wife and her relatives.

    The father, Sooba Khan, had reportedly been married three times.

    He first got married to Khurshid Bibi in 1992. The wedding was part of an exchange marriage known as ‘Watta Satta’. Sooba Khan’s sister was married to Khurshid’s brother.

    After the marriage, Sooba and Khurshid had a son named Sikandar. Shortly after Sikandar’s birth, Sooba’s sister got divorced due to a family conflict and then Sooba also decided to divorce his wife Khurshid.

    Sooba then married Shahnaz Bibi and had a daughter named Zahra.

    However, Sooba got divorced from his second wife and later married for the third time with a woman he currently lives with.

    According to the complainant, around five months ago, Sikandar and Zahra got married to each other without informing him.

    Sooba told The Express Tribune that he learnt about the marriage after five months.

    He told that he came to know about the marriage via a WhatsApp message where he saw the marriage certificate of his two children.

    Sooba also alleged that his ex-wife Khurshid was majorly responsible for the marriage as she was telling others in the family that she had supported the act in revenge for the unfairness she was subjected to by Sooba.

    According to Sooba, Khurshid was also sending money to her son while also fully encouraging him.

    ‘It’s better to be single and happy than marry the wrong person, says Navin Waqar

    Navin Waqar, in a recent Instagram interaction, opened up about her choice of staying single.

    Waqar, who shot to fame with Humsafar, was married to Azfar Ali. The couple parted ways in 2015, after three years of marriage. Since then Navin has chosen to stay single.

    Navin, while talking about her relationship status, said: “There is nothing wrong in staying single.”

    “It is one of the most important phases in a woman’s life where she is independent, where she is getting to live her dreams, achieve her goals, live life to the fullest,” she continued.

    Navin also expressed that she is frustrated with never-ending questions related to her marriage.

    “So many aunties ask me when I am getting married. And my usual reply to them is that it is better to be single and happy than marry the wrong person.”

    She further advised women to not listen “to any kind of trash talk that comes your way”.

    “Understand that life is a gift and you are on this earth to do beautiful and amazing things and you do not have to get married in order to achieve that,” said the actor. “If anybody who is single right now, I think its a great time to make a bucket list and achieve all the things you want.”

    “Single girls do not let it get to you,” she added. “Enjoy your life.”

    Navin was recently seen in ARY Digital’s Bewafa alongside Ali Rehman Khan and Ushna Shah. She is currently playing a prominent role in Hum TV’s horror series, Chalawa.

    Besides Navin, Mehwish Hayat had also said that a woman can be totally happy without marriage and children.

    “Let’s not let society dictate the way we want to lead our life,” Mehwish had said. “I have come to realise that it is possible for a girl in her early 30’s to be totally happy without being married and with children. It’ll happen when it will and not to some timetable.”

    Meanwhile, 6,000 marriages were registered during this period.

  • Rubya Chaudhry opens up about her divorce

    Rubya Chaudhry opens up about her divorce

    “Divorce doesn’t always mean sadness,” says Rubya Chaudhary, who recently opened up about her own experience.

    In an Instagram post, the model-turned-actor said: “I always knew people can be crass and ill-mannered, but there isn’t anything like experiencing it first-hand. I don’t even so much as humour these types usually, but in some situations one just HAS to put their foot down.”

    “I got married a few years ago, and then got divorced super quickly after,” she shared. “And that’s that really. Never really put my private life up for people to speculate about in the first place, but I don’t blame them for being curious about such matters. Well now you know.”

    “I’d also like to add that divorce doesn’t always mean sadness and death and hayay hayay yeh kya hogya! Hayayyy bachi ki zindagi tabaaah ho gai! It could also mean bachi ki zindagi tabaah honay say BACH gayee,” she remarked.

    “It also means a second chance at love, at life, at all the wonderfully amazing chapters that may have never actualized had you chosen the dead-end as your destiny. Choose to thrive. Choose divorce if it ain’t your scene and stop worrying about all the ill-mannered and crass people around,” she wrote.

    Concluding her post, Chaudhry shared that she didn’t have to share this but she chose to for “hundreds of thousands of women who are made to feel like they should be ashamed if their marriages didn’t work out, who are told time and again by their own husbands and in-laws that there’s something wrong with them, that they need to change themselves to fit into some mould of the perfect wife (whatever that is), who’re gaslighted continuously and stripped of their vibrant personalities.”

    Rubya tied the knot with an acclaimed musician Meekal Hasan in 2016.

  • ‘She is counting minutes’: Melania to divorce Donald Trump?

    Donald Trump, who recently lost his presidential re-election campaign to Democratic challenger Joe Biden, could soon find himself facing divorce proceedings, it has emerged. 

    British tabloid Daily Mail quoted a former aide to the first lady of the United States (US), Omarosa Manigault Newman, as saying that the 15-year marriage of Trump and Melania Trump is over and the latter is “counting the minutes until he is out of the office and she can divorce him”.

    “If she [Melania] were to try to pull the ultimate humiliation and leave while he’s in office, he would find a way to punish her,” he said when asked as to why did Melania not divorce Trump earlier.

    The report quoted another former aide, Stephanie Wolkoff Senior, who was the advisor to the first lady, as saying that Trump and Melania had separate bedrooms in the White House and a “transactional marriage”.

    Back in 2016, Melania had burst into tears when Trump won the presidential election as, one friend said, “she never expected him to win”. However, Melania waited five months before moving to Washington from New York allegedly because their son, Barron, had to finish school.

    However, Wolkoff said Melania was negotiating an agreement so that Barron could have an equal share of Trump’s fortune. “Now, four years later, she is going forth with her plan.”

    Reports also say that Trump’s inner circle, including his wife Melania, wants the 45th US president to accept his loss and concede defeat to President-elect Biden and exit the office “gracefully”.

  • Shahroz Sabzwari lashes out, challenges those pointing fingers to prove his infidelity

    Shahroz Sabzwari lashes out, challenges those pointing fingers to prove his infidelity

    Ever since Shahroz Sabzwari and Sadaf Kanwal announced their marriage on social media, the entire country seems to be divided over the matter. While on one end people are calling them out for ruining a family given that Shahroz’s seven-year marriage with Syra Yousuf ended just a few months back, on the other end others are urging people to live and let live.

    Amidst the brouhaha, Shahroz stepped in and aggressively defended his family and new wife.

    In a video message, Shahroz said: “The purpose of this video is to defend myself and my family. And that is my right.” He added that he will defend himself till his last breath because he is an honest man.

    “Syra and I got separated in August 2019,” revealed Sabzwari. “The reason behind our split was not another woman nor infidelity nor Sadaf, for that matter. If anyone thinks that the reason behind our separation is cheating or infidelity, I challenge them to come forward and prove it. Phir maza aye ga.”

    Talking about his relationship with Sadaf, Shahroz said: “I met Sadaf for work about three to four months after my separation with Syra.”

    Referring to an earlier video he had shared in which he had clarified that Sadaf and he were just colleagues, Shahroz said: “The way my first video has been edited and released, I know. But let me be clear. At that point, Sadaf was only my colleague and Syra was my wife, even though we were separated.”

    “After that video, Syra and I tried to stop our marriage from breaking but because of irreconcilable differences – which are personal between me and Syra – we had to part ways.”

    “I did not want to divorce Syra,” he added. “We separated with dignity.”

    Shahroz further shared that he is making this video for his daughter, who “he loves a lot”.

    “Maybe a few years down the line, she might come across all that the public has written about me and she will question me. This my answer to her. That I did not give in and fought back,” he said.

    Shahroz asserted that he will continue to defend his family and will always tell the truth. He said people advised him to stay silent and let tongues wag but he said he couldn’t let it pass like that.
