Nat Wolff's VERY star-studded exes! Nickelodeon child actor spotted smooching Billie Eilish has previously been linked to Hollywood's finest
Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff appear to have confirmed that they are dating after they were seen kissing on a balcony in Venice, Italy, last weekend. The Birds of a Feather singer, 23, and the 30-year-old actor, previously denied they were romantically involved with one another, but they set the internet alight when Deux Moi published snaps of the pair smooching and taking selfies while sipping on champagne. Nine-time Grammy Award winner Billie, who identifies as queer, is no stranger to having her love life in the spotlight, having previously been linked to Matthew Tyler Vorce and YouTuber Quenlin Blackwell, among others. Nat, on the other hand, keeps a lower profile - but his own dating history is no less star-studded. The actor first found fame as a child star on Nickelodeon, where he starred in The Naked Brothers Band TV series alongside his younger brother Alex Wolff from 2007 to 2009. The show was created by his mother, actress Polly Draper, while his jazz musician father Michael Wolff co-produced the soundtrack albums for the series. After the series ended, Nat and Alex went on to form a real music duo and released three albums, with their most recent album Table for Two coming out in 2023. Nat is also known for his work in romantic comedies and coming-of-age dramas. Most notably, he starred in The Fault in Our Stars alongside Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort in 2014, as well as 2017's Home Again, in which he played the leading man opposite Reese Witherspoon. In 2015, he also starred in the rom-com Paper Towns opposite Cara Delevingne, and in 2017, he played the main character of Light Turner in the Netflix adaptation of the popular manga series Death Note. Reports suggest his earliest romance was with fellow Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove at the height of both their careers as child actors on the channel. But young love rarely lasts, and after a short time together the pair broke up. While it isn't known how long they dated, Miranda alluded to a difficult split in a 2011 interview with Seventeen magazine. She said at the time: 'I've only had one serious boyfriend, but we dated for three years. We broke up not that long ago. Some of Nat's shorter flings reportedly involved actress Bella Thorne and singer Suki Waterhouse, both in the mid-2000s 'He's the one guy I really, really liked. People say they have that one person they never forget - I feel like that. Even though we don't talk much anymore, he'll be the one who got away.' In 2014, Nat and Margaret Qualley made their relationship public for the first time at the premiere of The Fault in Our Stars. Margaret, who is now married to producer Jack Antonoff, said in a 2016 interview that she would visit Nat on set while he was filming Gia Coppola's Palo Alto, alongside Emma Roberts. But the The Substance star confirmed the pair had split the following year when she referred to Nat as her 'ex-boyfriend' in a British Vogue interview, despite them starring together in Death Note. While fans weren't privy to the reason behind Nat and Margaret's split, the actor sparked speculation that he was dating singer Suki Waterhouse around 2015. The pair had been seen hanging out together in London, with Nat leaving Suki's home in the capital in the early hours of the morning after attending a The Strokes gig in Hyde Park the previous evening. However, their romance was short-lived, according to reports, lasting only a few weeks. Suki is now engaged to Robert Pattinson and shares a daughter with him, who was born in March 2024. There was also speculation that Nat was dating actress Bella Thorne in 2017, as reported by the Daily Mail after they were seen on a dinner date in Los Angeles - but this too did not last. Nat's longest and most public relationship was with Tell Me Lies star Grace Van Patten, who he dated from 2017 to 2021. The couple were open about their romance, attending red carpet events together and starring opposite one another in comedy-drama Good Posture in 2019. Their breakup was never announced publicly, but Grace appeared to confirm she was in a relationship with her Tell Me Lies co-star Jackson White in 2022, over a year since the last time she and Nat were seen as a couple at a public event. The new romance between Nat and Billie is believed to have blossomed a year after the singer released the video for her single Chihiro, which featured Nat as her love interest. The track was the second single from her album Hit Me Hard and Soft and the music video sees Billie and Nat running hand-in-hand through a building and frolicking in a grassy field where they eventually fall into each other's arms. A report from the outlet Deux Moi, which published a series of photos of Billie and Nat kissing on a balcony in Venice, read: 'Adding to the dreamy atmosphere, they were seen sipping champagne and soaking up the Italian sun, clearly enjoying a romantic European getaway.'

Cat reunited with Queens family almost 10 years after disappearing
Cat found on Long Island 9 years after going missing in Queens Cat found on Long Island 9 years after going missing in Queens Cat found on Long Island 9 years after going missing in Queens A cat who disappeared nearly a decade ago in Queens has been reunited with his owners. Danielle Schultz says she will never lose track of her beloved Smokey again. Lost cat found 30 miles away from home Back in 2016, the Schultz family was traveling and left Smokey with a relative in Glendale, Queens. That's when he disappeared. "I felt it was a lost cause," Schultz said. It turns out Smokey somehow traveled 30 miles and ended up in Babylon, Long Island. "I have no idea how he got that far, but the animal shelter told me that it's not that uncommon for cats to travel long distances," Schultz said. An elderly woman in Babylon found Smokey and took him in, apparently thinking he was a stray. When she died years later, her son brought Smokey to the Babylon Town Animal Shelter to give him up for adoption. "We found the cat to have a microchip number," Babylon Town Animal Shelter Director Chris Elton said. "I was like, this can't be real!" Companies like Home Again, which managed Smokey's chip, and the American Kennel Club allow pet owners to register their chips for about $20, so that if their pet is lost, an animal shelter has a way of finding out who the owners are and contacting them. Elton and the chip company emailed Schultz. "'We have good news. We found your cat Smokey with microchip number whatever,'" Schultz said. "And I was like, this can't be real!" "After so much time, it's very unusual," Elton said. Smokey is now back home with Schultz and her children. "My son remembers Smokey. He was like 4 years old when he went missing and he never forgot the cat," Schultz said. "And my daughter, she's 7, so she wasn't even born yet." "Happy day for us, and happy day for Smokey," Elton said. "I like to think he remembers me, but you know, who knows?" Schultz said. "He's made himself right at home."

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's Former Marital Home Sells for $11 Million — See Inside!
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's former Brentwood home has sold for $10.8 million after one on the market. Garner purchased the home in 2004, before her marriage to Affleck who moved in in 2005. She sold it in 2009. The mansion has also been home to Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber and was used in the filming of 'Home Again' starring Reese WitherspoonBen Affleck and Jennifer Garner's former L.A. home came back on the market last week — and has already found a new buyer. The Brentwood mansion sold for 10.8 million, significantly more than its asking price of $9.5 million, after receiving multiple offers from the day it was listed. The 13 Going on 30 actress, 53, purchased the home in 2004 for $5.5 million, before being joined by Affleck, 52, in 2005 following their marriage, according to Mansion Global. In 2009, Garner put the house on the market. Affleck and Garner, who share children Violet Anne, 19, Seraphina Rose, 16, and Samuel, 13, announced their split in June 2015 after ten years of marriage. The 4,151-square-foot, four bedroom, five bathroom Montecito-inspired home is arranged around a charming courtyard. It was built in 1929 and sits on about three-quarters of an acre in the celeb-favorite enclave. Affleck and Garner weren't the first stars to call this place home. Cindy Crawford once lived in the property with her husband Rande Gerber. The house also has an screen credit of its own: It was used in the 2017 romcom Home Again starring Reese Witherspoon. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The property includes a gated driveway with tall hedges for privacy. The entrance is accessed via a stone pathway and manicured garden surrounding a fountain. The main spaces feature original tile floors and steal casement-style windows. The living room includes a wood-burning fireplace and a high, beamed ceiling. It opens up onto a lush backyard complete with a pool and outdoor entertaining space with another fireplace. Affleck and Garner first met on the set of Pearl Harbor, but their relationship did not begin until four years later. They starred in 2003's Daredevil together and became close friends. By the summer of 2004, their friendship had turned romantic and they wed in June 2005. They decided to go their separate ways in 2015, finalizing their divorce in 2018. In the years since, the exes and co-parents have continued to speak highly of one another. "She's just a fabulous person," Affleck said of Garner in 2016. "She's a great mother. She's a real talent … She's somebody that I admire and respect and remain excellent friends with." Affleck went on to marry Jennifer Lopez in 2022, but the singer filed for divorce in 2024. Garner is currently in a relationship with CEO boyfriend John Miller since 2018. Garner opened the doors to her current Los Angeles home to Architectural Digest in 2024. 'I'm such a private person about my home and here I've just taken you through the entire house. And really, it's for a couple of reasons,' she explains in the video tour. 'I've never built anything all by myself before and I'm so proud of it. I am filled with gratitude every time I walk into my house. That I get to live here, that I'm so lucky to have my kids here,' she says, Garner adds that it's 'unlike me' to share something that's so personal to her and her family, but she's 'happy' she did, as she's proud of the work she put into it. After moving out of the home he shared with Lopez, Affleck acquired a new place of his own in 2024. The $20.5 million, five-bedroom Los Angeles estate has a 'sense of privacy and seclusion' and is 'not trendy,' a source told PEOPLE shortly after he made the purchase. Affleck and Lopez's shared Beverly Hills mansion remains on the market with an asking price of $60 million following an $8 million price cut, a year after they listed it. The couple initially shopped the 38,000-square-foot house off market in June 2024, before publicly listing it in July. Read the original article on People

Harvard's ‘Unoffical' Copy of the Magna Carta Turns Out to Be Real
A Magna Carta classified by Harvard as an unofficial copy for almost 80 years has been declared as an original issued by Edward I from 1300, the university has announced. The discovery means that there are now seven surviving copies of the first document to effectively establish that no English monarch was above the law. According to The Guardian, the discovery was made by David Carpenter, a professor of medieval history at King's College London, who examined the 1327 document via the Harvard law school online library. 'I was trawling through all these online statute books trying to find unofficial copies of the Magna Carta,' he said, adding that he 'immediately thought: my god this looks for all the world like an original of Edward I's confirmation of Magna Carta in 1300, though of course appearances are deceptive.' More from Robb Report Inside a $9.5 Million L.A. Mansion That Starred in the Movie 'Home Again' Audio-Technica Just Dropped a New Flagship Turntable You Can See Through Former 'Queer Eye' Star Thom Filicia Reimagined This $18.5 Million Cottage in the Hamptons Together with Nicholas Vincent, a professor of medieval history at the University of East Anglia, Carpenter tested the document for authenticity using, among other tools, spectral imaging and ultraviolet light. The key, Vincent told the Guardian, was in the handwriting: 'One extraordinary little detail about the handwriting is the initial E at the start of Edwardus. The next letter—the D—of Edwardus is also a capital, which is quite unusual. And yet you find that capital D in one of the other six originals.' The Magna Carta acted as a royal charter of rights and was first issued in 1215 by King John to make peace with a group of rebellious barons. The original charter failed to appease the rebellion, and England plunged into civil war. But its tenets endured, at least in some iteration: Subsequent reissues of the charter ultimately enshrined in law protections against illegal arrests and seizures of property, swift, judicial process, and a limit on taxation—all of which would be leveraged as justification for the American Revolution. Carpenter called Harvard's copy 'one of the world's most valuable documents.' He added: 'It asserts a fundamental principle that the ruler is subject to the law. He can't just say: 'Into prison, off with your head, I'm seizing your property.' If he wants to act against you, he has to do so by legal process. It's the foundation stone of the western tradition of law and democracy.' Within the history of Magna Carta, the 1300 confirmation by Edward I holds particular importance, as it was the final and most authoritative official reissue. Harvard's online library notes that the document was bought $27.50 in 1946 and had previously been sold by a member of the Royal Air Force (RAF) to the London book dealers Sweet & Maxwell for £42. Carpenter and Vincent said the copy likely was issued to the former parliamentary borough of Appleby in Cumbria and passed down to the Lowthers, an aristocratic family prominent in the 18th century, who then passed it down to Thomas Clarkson, an abolitionist. From there, through Clarkson's estate, it was acquired by Forster Maynard. Vincent said: 'It was then passed down through an evil aristocratic family of the 18th century, the Lowthers, who then gave it to Thomas Clarkson, who was the leading slavery abolitionist. And then, through Clarkson's estate, it went to this fellow, Forster Maynard, an RAF commander and the first flying ace of World War I.' It's unclear as to why Harvard's copy was classified for nearly a century as unofficial. 'Everyone in 1945 was a bit tired,' Vincent said.
