'They're split. Jessica seemed sad, but also relieved to have some clarity,' a source told the outlet. Another insider added that the couple separated 'some time ago.' The Toronto Sun reached out to Ben and his team for comment. The couple have been married for 16 years and share three children — twin sons, Brian and John, 14, and daughter, Ivy, 12. All three kids had roles in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 2018 wedding, back when the Suits actress and Jessica were besties.

Organizers promise affordable, Canadian focused event as Queen City Ex kicks off
The Queen City Ex kicked off on Wednesday. (Mick Favel / CTV News) The Queen City Ex (QCX) is now underway, and organizers are saying this year's event will be affordable, Canadian focused and an unforgettable time. With the addition of West Coast Amusements (WCA), the midway looks considerably different with a selection of rides new to QCX. 'This is a big step for us. We're excited to be here. We are going to do the best job we can. I'm very confident we're going to make a lot of people happy,' Rob Hauser, WCA's president said. Survey results from the 2024 QCX reported affordability as a major factor for attendees. Leading up to the 2025 QCX, pricing for attendees was a planning point for organizers, as well as still hosting a financially successful event. Cathleen Betker is the event manager of the QCX. She said months of number analysis went into making decisions for the fair. QCX The Queen City Ex kicked off on Wednesday. (Mick Favel / CTV News) 'Where we landed was kind of in a middle point where we can still achieve our revenue, but it's more approachable for the community,' she said. A public concern for several past QCX events has been the level of security on site. Metal detectors are returning at all entrances, as well as a visible police presence. 'We also do a lot of community outreach at events like this. We know a majority of our population is going to be here, so we want to be where the people are,' Sgt. Ross Kauk with the Regina Police Service said. For those not planning on going on the rides, there are a variety of foods to try and activities to attend indoors. An all-Canadian lineup of musical acts will also grace the stage each night, with Blue Rodeo scheduled to play on Wednesday evening.

Popular series Murdoch Mysteries shooting episode here set during first Stampede
Article content A 1912 trip to Calgary to witness the beginnings of a brand new spectacle called The Calgary Stampede is meant to be a relaxing vacation for intrepid Detective William Murdoch and his gruff boss, Inspector Thomas Brackenreid. It's a respite from the murder and mayhem the pair encounter as part of the Toronto Constabulary. Article content But it doesn't take long for the two to get roped into a mysterious death at the first Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. That's the historical premise behind an upcoming episode of the popular drama Murdoch Mysteries. Article content Article content 'Because it's a murder-mystery, murder quickly ensues,' says Peter Mitchell, an executive producer and writer for Murdoch Mysteries. Article content Article content The long-running Canadian series set up production at the Bar N Ranch in Turner Valley for a three-day shoot. The location, a popular spot for film and television productions, has been transformed into the first Stampede circa 1912. Cameras began rolling on Wednesday, and production will wrap Friday night. Interior shots for the episode will be filmed in Toronto. Article content On Tuesday, actors Yannick Bisson and Thomas Craig — who play Murdoch and Brackenreid, respectively — took part in a fan meet-and-greet at the Calgary Stampede's Sam Centre. Article content The historical series, which takes place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, has been running for 18 seasons. It was recently renewed for a 19th, and the Stampede-themed episode will air in the fall. Article content Article content 'We've always tried on this show, if possible, to get out to different areas of the country,' Mitchell says. 'We've shot in Newfoundland, Ottawa, Dawson City. We've always wanted to shoot in Alberta. It seemed like a natural storyline. Some of it is just for the fan events. Fans are still into the show. The meet-and-greets are not as important as the shooting, but it's part of the package.' Article content The series often uses real historical figures and events in its storylines. Past episodes have revolved around the Toronto Fire of 1904 and Canadian veterans of the Boer War. Everyone from Queen Victoria to Buffalo Bill Cody, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison and Arthur Conan Doyle have made appearances as characters. Article content While the murder at the centre of the Calgary-based episode is presumably fictional, the storyline will feature historical Stampede figures such as founder Guy Weadick and Tom Three Persons, a Kainai Nation rodeo athlete who won the saddle bronc competition at the 1912 inaugural Stampede.
