PRIVATE LIVES
The young starlets are famously guarded about their private lives and refused to confirm their romance for many years.
In 2019, when asked by a reporter: 'Am I allowed to ask if you're going out with the person that everyone thinks you're going out with?', Saoirse replied simply, 'No.'

They said he was dead by the time they arrived, and believed that he died from natural causes. No foul play is suspected. According to the actor's manager, Madsen died from cardiac arrest. His death came as a shock, as the Hollywood star was working on many independent film projects when the tragedy struck. Advertisement Just months before he collapsed, Madsen celebrated a career highlight by becoming the new face of a cigar company and was pictured on the front page of Hollywood Times. But amid his professional success, the actor was waging a bitter legal war with his estranged wife DeAnna Madsen after 28 years of marriage.

"Losing a child is the hardest and most painful experience that can happen in this world," he wrote. "I deeply apologize for not correcting this earlier but I love my wife and our other 4 children and have no desire for divorce or blame." Madsen clarified that his wife has "absolutely nothing to do with what happened to our son" and described the death as a "horrible loss."

Emily, who gave birth to her first child just over a year ago, was in discussions about the show with Disney+ and the production company Boldprint Studios — but it was not to be. Naked tennis A TV insider said: 'It's not entirely clear why she didn't pursue the show, particularly as it would have proved very lucrative to be working with the streaming giant. 'It would almost certainly have proved very popular with viewers too. But it's fair to say she would have struggled time-wise to fit it in alongside all her other projects and, of course, her most important job of being a mother.'
