Affleck and Garner, both 54, share Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14. They divorced in 2018 after 13 years of marriage. He described a routine of working, picking up the kids from school and having dinner together when they’re willing to hang out with him.

“They have a great thing with their mom, for whom I’m also really, really grateful,” he said. “I know things will come up that are hard, and I don’t want to jinx that, but this time in my life as a human being is really wonderful.”

Working close to home means he can be there as they grow up. “My kids are here, and their life is flying by,” Affleck said. He wants to avoid traveling to Shreveport or New Mexico for jobs, acknowledged that he’s fortunate to have that choice and praised LA’s crews as the best in the world.

His priorities also shape his approach to dating following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, 57, which was finalized in January 2025 after 2 years of marriage. “I work a lot, and I see my kids, and there’s not a lot of room. I’m not running around,” he said.

Affleck said he’s happy, with his kids coming first and work he loves also filling his life. “Who knows what adventures life will bring? I’m open to it, but I’m not trying to chase anything.”

Research in personality psychology suggests that people who embrace individuality and self-expression often experience greater confidence and emotional resilience. These unique individuals tend to have hearts that are bold, creative, and unforgettable. If you were born in one of the months below, there’s a good chance your personality leaves a lasting impression wherever you go. Read on to discover what makes these birth months so wonderfully different and why their hearts truly stand out.

December

If you were born in December, you have a spirit that is untethered and wild like no other. It leads you to be exactly who you are which is why you tend to have a personality that’s a bit more eccentric than most. You take the path less traveled, express yourself wholly, and do just what you want to do. Your style is bold and your humor is gregarious. Your heart is eccentric and unique as ever.

February

People who arrived in February, you are the entrepreneur of the year because your mind conceives of ideas never thought of before. You’re never afraid to be bold and stand up for what you believe in. You trust your gut and lead your life with confidence which tends to stray from the norm. You never follow the status quo and wear, do, say, create whatever strikes you in the moment. Your empowering nature to be entirely you is what makes you an eccentric zodiac heart.

August

Those born in August, you were born to stand out. You love a stage to stand on and shine with all your might. Your heart lives on your sleeve and you ache to express all that’s on your mind. Your style is a bit quirky as are your interests but that’s because you were never meant to blend in. You are you and no one can mistake you otherwise. Your fierce approach to life and self is what sets you apart and makes your heart incredibly eccentric.

April

Those born in April have hearts that beat with bold determination and individuality. They rarely shy away from expressing themselves, even when it means standing alone in their opinions. April-born individuals often follow their instincts and trust their inner voice, choosing paths that feel meaningful rather than predictable. Their energy and courage inspire others to take risks and embrace their true selves.

November

November-born individuals carry hearts that feel deep, intense, and profoundly original. They often see the world from angles others miss, giving them a perspective that feels both thoughtful and mysterious. While they may not always reveal everything about themselves at once, their individuality shines through in the choices they make and the passions they pursue.

The fatherhood accounts appear in a chapter called “Legion.” St. Clair alleges Musk told her he wanted to “create a legion of children before the civil war,” and that he wanted to use surrogates because it was the only way to build a family that size. She also claims he refused to bring all his kids to public events, and that when she asked why certain ones were missing, he said, “Well, that’s because X is my favorite.”

Musk has fathered 14 known children with 4 women: 6 with his first wife, Justine Wilson, including 1 who died in infancy; 3 with Grimes; 4 with Shivon Zilis; and 1 with St. Clair. He’s publicly warned about population collapse and advocated for more births. Wilson also speaks in the film.

Wilson says she always felt the mothers were “pretty interchangeable in this story,” and that someone on Musk’s side referred to them as “the breeders.” She adds, “there’s a playbook, you know, it’s kind of like an assembly line by now.”

The film lands days after Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, who shares 4 children with Musk, announced on X that he had ended their relationship without warning.

Gibney, the Oscar-winning director behind Enron and Going Clear, uses an AI avatar of Musk built from his public statements. Musk didn’t participate in the documentary, and his side put the production on legal notice over certain text messages shown in it.

Musk has spent weeks attacking Gibney’s film on X, calling it “a hit piece that misses” and the filmmaker a “crackpot.” St. Clair also says she refused to sign a $40 million nondisclosure agreement to appear in the documentary. Musk denied that on X: “She was never offered that and has a history of making false claims.”

An unnamed insider cited Underwood’s personality and stage presence as reasons her name keeps coming up. Sabrina Carpenter, Sydney Sweeney and Hilary Duff were also mentioned, and the insider said Parton’s surviving family would have the final say.

Parton’s own casting conversations stretched back years. During Underwood’s 2009 Fox holiday special, she discussed turning her life story into a musical and said, “I think Kristin Chenoweth would be real good.” She also told Underwood that enough padding on top could help her fill the boots.

In 2023, Parton said “we’ll be auditioning a lot of different people,” describing what she’d want from an actress: “a lot of that fire and spunk. And she’d have to have some boobs, of course.” She also considered her goddaughter Miley Cyrus’s singing ability: “Miley would have the voice. She’d have to raise it up a few octaves though.”

Parton died on Aug. 25, 2026, at 80. Underwood paid tribute with the words, “She’s not gone. I know exactly where she is.” Days later, at Tanglewood, she called Parton “one of the nicest people I think I’ve ever met.”

For the separate Broadway production Dolly: A True Original, Parton did make her choices. She handpicked Katie Rose Clarke, Carrie St. Louis and Norah Nunes to portray her at different ages. The musical is scheduled to open Jan. 19, 2027, on what would’ve been her 81st birthday.

But he isn’t normal when it comes to money. Well, in a way, he is poor. I’ll explain.

Ashton’s estimated to be worth about $250 million, which puts him well above plenty of major stars. Paul Rudd and Mark Ruffalo generally fall in the $30 million to $100 million bracket; very poor! Jennifer Lawrence’s estimated $150 million to $180 million and Chris Pratt’s $80 million to $115 million also leave them below Kutcher.

That puts Ashton in Hollywood’s roughly $200 million to $400 million tier, alongside Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, both commonly estimated at $300 million to $400 million. Much of his wealth comes from venture investing, including early investments connected to Uber, Airbnb and Spotify.

Celebrity Net Worth puts him higher, at $500 million, largely because it assigns more value to his investment firm Sound Ventures’ OpenAI stake. But that stake is shared with partners and fund investors, and it isn’t money he can simply pull out of an ATM.

Then there’s the next rung: George Clooney at about $500 million, Tom Cruise at about $600 million and Dwayne Johnson at about $800 million. Acting helped make them rich, but their fortunes stretch beyond their salaries. Clooney had the Casamigos sale and producing work. Cruise gets a share of his films’ earnings. Johnson owns a stake in Teremana Tequila.

And above them sit the billionaires: Tyler Perry at roughly $1.4 billion, Arnold Schwarzenegger at about $1.2 billion and Jerry Seinfeld at about $1.1 billion. Perry owns his studio and catalog. Schwarzenegger has substantial investments and real estate. Seinfeld keeps earning through his ownership stake in a show that never really leaves television.

These are estimates, and the brackets overlap because wealth trackers value private investments, property and ownership stakes differently. But you get the idea: Ashton has an extraordinary amount of money, and there are still people in his industry worth several times as much.

Research in psychology suggests that people who naturally prioritize others tend to build stronger, more meaningful connections, rooted in trust and mutual care. Interestingly, your birth month may influence how willing you are to make sacrifices for the people you love. Some individuals are simply wired to give more, love harder, and place others before themselves.

Could your birth month be one of them? Read below to find out which months are known for their selfless nature.

January

January natives ooze organization, diligence, and drive. They’re hooked on routine; fueled by a life that adheres to a schedule they can trust and rely on. That’s why, when it comes to sacrificing something, those born in January are fantastic at it. They’re incredible at looking at their life objectively and deciding which parts are meshing and which parts are not. Not to mention, their loyal nature makes it easy for them to give up habitual aspects of their life for the greater good of their relationships.

February

People born in February are humanitarians at heart. They feel most fulfilled when working for a cause and inspiring change in the lives of those around them. For someone born in February, life and inner purpose might as well be equivalent to sacrifice as they are one of the most selfless birth months of the year. When going about their daily routine, they are constantly striving to help others around them, advocate for justice, and stand for what they believe in. When it comes to making important sacrifices, the willpower of someone born in February is rock solid.

September

Similar to those born in January, those born in September are very meticulous individuals who are motivated by a stable life and meeting people who ground them. They are extremely detail-oriented and can at times be perfectionistic which means they are quite attuned to the various moving parts of their life; what is working and what is not. Because of their logical headspace, they are also able to look at life objectively and cut out what’s not adding value to their existence. Deep down, those born in September strive to have every piece of their life flawlessly mapped out so at times, they’re even eager to sacrifice things in order to make it all work cohesively.

July

July-born individuals are naturally nurturing and emotionally driven. They tend to prioritize the happiness and well-being of their loved ones above all else. Their caring nature makes it second nature for them to make sacrifices, often without even realizing they’re doing it. They are highly intuitive and can sense when someone needs support, comfort, or reassurance. Because of this, they often step in before being asked. Their selflessness comes from a deep emotional connection to others, making their sacrifices feel genuine and heartfelt rather than forced.

May

Those born in May are grounded, dependable, and quietly selfless. While they may not always express their sacrifices openly, their actions speak volumes. They are willing to put in the time, effort, and energy to ensure the people they love feel secure and supported. May-born individuals often show their selflessness through consistency. They are the ones who show up, follow through, and remain steady even when things get difficult. Their willingness to put others first is rooted in loyalty and a strong sense of responsibility, making them dependable partners and friends.

Online, almost none of that was the story.

Within hours, clips and photos from the appearance spread on X, usually paired with pictures of Dell from the 2000s. The commentary fixated on her face: a tighter, tauter look, a wider eye area, heavy eyeliner and defined brows, blonde hair and a red dress. Users speculated about cosmetic procedures, cracked AI and clone jokes, posted before-and-after comparisons, and tied her to the informal “Mar-a-Lago face” label used for the polished, enhanced look associated with Trump’s Palm Beach circle.

Plastic surgeons quoted in coverage, including Dr. Ross Perry, Dr. Gerard Lambe and Dr. Shervin Naderi, offered photo-based guesses at what might contribute to the change, from a facelift to eyelid surgery, fillers, fat transfer or Botox. All of them stressed the same thing: it’s guesswork without an in-person exam. Some outlets floated multi-procedure cost estimates in the tens of thousands of dollars, which are estimates, not confirmed spending.

Dell has never publicly confirmed or addressed any procedure, and there’s no verified medical evidence in public reporting. Differences in photos can come from aging, weight changes, lighting, makeup, angles or styling.

The record underneath the meme is a philanthropist who co-founded the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation in 1999 and has spent decades funding education and health programs for children, work that includes Dell Children’s Medical Center, Dell Medical School at UT Austin and leadership of the $100 million Rebuild Texas Fund after Hurricane Harvey.

Certain birth months seem to carry this vibrant spark more naturally than others, bringing excitement wherever they go. Keep reading to see if your birth month made the list and discover what kind of energy fuels your personality.

April

Those born in April are the most energetic birth month of the year. They’re playful, lively, and the most enthusiastic bunch you’ll meet. Usually, they will always have somewhere to go and something to do. They have a lot of physical energy to spare, so they’re generally in their element at the gym or attending a social event. They aren’t the type to sit still or live life at a slower pace.

August

Those with August birthdays are passionate people who have incredibly bold personalities. Like April, they also dislike standing still for too long. They’re known as the life of the party who constantly juggle their always busy schedules. They’re flamboyant and are known as rays of sunshine amongst their friends, which usually makes their energy attractive to most.

December

As the explorers of the year, it’s no surprise why those born in December are one of the most energetic people to be around. Whether traveling or being out and about, you can’t deny the fire sign’s surge of enthusiasm and excitement for life. They have a contagious energy that’s all about action and motivation. They’re in their element when they plan trips and maintain their independence.

June

People born in June have one of the fastest minds of the year. That’s why conversations with them will forever be lively and exciting. They possess large amounts of mental energy that allows them to talk to anyone they want. They can also think about multiple things and even solve an entire puzzle on their own.

February

They are most energetic when focused on a project or building a masterpiece.

The exchange began with Reynolds questioning why his wife, Blake Lively, was taking the blame for the backlash when he sent Colleen Hoover an Aug. 10, 2024, text attacking Baldoni, whose novel became the film.

“It’s amazing to me that you can have everybody involved with a production completely run away from a person who is obviously a predator and sociopath and the narrative must first land on why a woman is the problem,” Reynolds wrote.

Baldoni directed the film about domestic violence and starred alongside Lively. The texts date to months before Lively filed her December 2024 complaint alleging sexual harassment during production and a retaliatory smear campaign. Baldoni denied her allegations.

“It’s amazing to me how low people still go,” Reynolds continued. “But people are already coming forward and soon enough someone is just gonna go on record.”

Hoover replied, “It’s mind blowing.” She described the loudest critics as “mostly 13-year-olds who don’t have fully developed brains yet and will be mortified by their thought process a few years from now.” She added, “Good to hear it’s already beginning to skew away from him.”

Reynolds said most of the criticism he’d seen came from girls, while the conversation also centered on the movie’s performance and how much audiences liked it. Hoover responded to that message with a heart.

Elsewhere in the exchange, Reynolds scripted a fictional conversation mocking Baldoni’s crisis PR strategy. His imagined instructions from the team read: “Crisis team: okay, Justin, all you do is talk about DV and how wonderful Blake is. And we’ll handle the online stuff. No matter what, you keep up your feminist advocacy. And speak like an emotionally elevated thought leader. Understood?”

Reynolds then supplied an imagined reply from Baldoni: “Justin: Namaste. Let’s get this bitch.” Those were Reynolds’ words, written as a parody of Baldoni, and Hoover reacted with a laugh.

In a separate Aug. 9, 2024, text to his agent, Warren Zavala, Reynolds called Baldoni a “human rounding error” while celebrating the movie’s success.

A source close to Reynolds said he was trying to protect Lively from Baldoni’s crisis PR team, which the source said had been accused of similar smear tactics in at least five other lawsuits.

In June 2025, the court dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million suit accusing Lively, Reynolds and their PR team of defamation and extortion. A May 2026 settlement resolved Lively’s case with the remaining defendants.

Alexia, 30, first discussed the assault when the show’s Directing Staff questioned her about wanting to prove her courage. She said she’d been traveling with friends she trusted, had too much to drink and had been put to bed. When she woke up, she could tell something had happened.

She said she “didn’t even have the power or consciousness to say no” to the person who assaulted her.

“I felt completely objectified. And I had a lot of pain and anger because of that. At the one-year mark, I decided that happiness is a choice and I was gonna choose to put it away,” Alexia said. “But it still hurts.”

In a confessional, she explained why she’d kept the assault private: “When you bring other people into it, it just becomes more of a conversation. And maybe a conversation is what I needed. But I just wasn’t ready.”

When she spoke to Mauricio, 56, she told him she’d wanted to protect her family from knowing what had happened. She shouldn’t have felt responsible for protecting them while dealing with that trauma, her father told her. He shares Alexia with estranged wife Kyle Richards.

Alexia described how telling others changes the experience: “I feel like it’s not just your own concern, you know? It just becomes everyone else’s concern. But I have definitely healed. I’ve come a long way since then.”

Mauricio told his daughter he loved her, and the other recruits offered their support.
