After going through hell in the royal family, Meghan Markle has found her new path in life!

In a lengthy Us Weekly cover story on Wednesday, sources opened up about how the Duchess of Sussex has found her new purpose after taking her Prince Charming and going home. Noting that she’s gone through many career changes in her past, a family friend told the outlet:

“You’re established in one world and then you enter another and your narrative is dictated by external forces.”

Not easy to navigate!

After leaving the royal family, Meghan and Prince Harry made a splash by doing several media projects and interviews, but it quickly became apparent none of it was panning out the way they had hoped. Their podcast, their Netflix deal, nothing was hitting.

In recent months, however, the Suits alum has clearly been preparing for her next shot. Not only is she teasing the launch of her lifestyle company American Rivera Orchards, but she’s also taking pointers from Hollywood powerhouses like Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow. She joined them and others at the house of broker Amy Griffin for a one-day business summit in July, an insider dished:

“Meghan was there to network. She was very kind and humble and eager to learn.”

Over the summer, she’s also gotten more involved with various charity organizations, like The Parents’ Network, a campaign to protect kids from online harm. She and her hubby also made a trip to Colombia. A second insider reflected:

“Meghan has transitioned from actress to royal to entrepreneur. She’s worn many hats, but she believes age and experience have [prepared her] for a bigger purpose in life. She’s very happy with the role she’s carved out.”

It was important for her to take the time to process everything and come up with a new plan of action after her initial media blitz post-royals, the family friend acknowledged:

“After Spare, [Harry and Meghan] realized, ‘OK, we’re ready to move on. We want to focus on our future. We can have meaning and importance separate from the lives we had previously.’”

They added:

“Meghan doesn’t harbor any negative feelings. She just wants peace, and knows you can’t find peace if you harbor resentments.”

She seemed to address this herself earlier this month in Colombia, saying:

“So much of how I approach things is less about the fight and more about how do we show up in the space and wash things over with love and kindness and generosity.”

Take her feud with Princess Catherine, for example. While she was happy to wish her well amid her cancer diagnosis, Meghan and Harry have not spoken out about other royal matters — and that’s on purpose. The family friend dished:

“Meghan’s team gets asked daily to comment on stuff that has nothing to do with their lives now. They have left it behind.”

She’s also left some of her own family members behind, like controversial father Thomas Markle, the first source said:

“Meghan still has no contact with her dad. She does not plan on having a relationship with him, and he has not met his grandkids. That ship has sailed.”

Instead, she leans on her pals and “has a great group of friends who are all successful in their own ways who she really trusts.” This includes Serena Williams and Ellen DeGeneres plus other local moms she meets up with regularly. The first insider added that she’s “very close” with neighbor and Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd while a second insider said she’s befriended entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima, cofounder of IT Cosmetics.

Things are a bit more difficult for Harry. He “has a small [group] of close friends,” the second source shared, claiming he prefers to keep his inner circle small for “understandable reasons.” While that may be true, we have been hearing his UK friends don’t like his wife and that’s a big reason he’s become more lonely. Not to mention, most live in the UK, and he had to move to California — so that can’t be easy! Regardless, it sounds like he’ll always put his family first, the source went on:

“He’ll always be fond of his home country, but the way he views it, his wife and kids are his priority. If that means making sure they’re safe and happy in Montecito, then he supports that.”

The husband and wife are both very hands-on parents who want their kids Archie and Lilibet to have normal childhoods despite their fame, the family friend continued:

“They take the kids to school, they pick them up, and they are very active and present with them throughout the day.”

Referencing the Duke’s battle for security in the UK, the family friend insisted the children are going to stay out of the spotlight for their safety, noting:

“I think every parent wants to share their kid with the world, but they just can’t. … [Prince] William’s kids, for example, have way more safety, even though they’re recognizable. And the same doesn’t apply to Meghan and Harry’s children. They know the world wants to see [them but] I would expect them to live smaller lives until that gets sorted, if it ever does.”

It sounds like the kids may not even understand their royal heritage yet, as the friend pointed out, “they’ll have those conversations in due time.” Right now, Meg and Harry want the little ones to feel loved for who they are:

“They’re so well-mannered. Archie is sweet and curious and playful, and Lili is vibrant and happy.”

The second source added that the parents are happy just being parents right now. Thankfully they apparently have plenty of time despite working on their Archewell Foundation campaigns and launching their business ventures. But as the kids get older, anything is possible:

“Afterwards who’s to say? But I think the focus is very much on raising their two children.”

And staying on the same page really helps. Meghan and Harry have been leaning on each other for support this whole time, the friend shared:

“They’re so in sync. Throughout their relationship, they’ve stood together no matter what.”

The second insider revealed that they enjoy downtime together and try to keep a positive mindset and are motivated to do their best work always, saying:

“It’s rooted in the bonds they share together.”

As for their new life in California, they do a lot of low-key activities like gardening, hiking, and cooking. The second insider described it as “a California lifestyle.” What, they don’t garden in Merry Old England??

While it was no doubt difficult to walk away from the royal family, they do have a big bonus now. They can work on “projects they are passionate about as opposed to being given projects to do,” making the work “more personal,” the second insider dished. Good point!

Along with The Parents’ Network, Meghan is working on her new initiative, the Welcome Project, which helps empower female refugees from Afghanistan. A third source who has worked with the former actress told the outlet:

“Female advocacy remains a centerpiece of her philanthropic intent.”

She’s also looking forward to launching her lifestyle brand sometime early next year, around the time her new Netflix series is supposed to premiere. The second source expressed:

“[ARO] will likely be very much in line with who Meghan is as a person. She loves hosting events, and she’s very thoughtful about how she treats her guests whenever they come over.”

The third insider said her series “is going to be a take on her and the joy of living,” including “little things she’s learned in terms of being a modern-day hostess.” It’s been rumored Harry may make an appearance. For now, the sources just promised there would be many familiar faces joining in.

So, Meghan has a lot on her plate coming up — but she’s NOT planning to run for office, return to acting, or write a memoir despite rampant rumors, the third confidant maintained. She’s just being Meghan:

“Meghan’s in the middle of her story right now.”

Maybe one day! Right now, a big passion of the 43-year-old’s is simply to give back, the family friend added:

“She knows her life would be extraordinarily different if she did not marry who she married. There is privilege and so much room to do good. She wants to meet the moment and make good on her good fortune.”

The friend noted that it was hard for her to “be herself” in the royal household which is why this change of pace is so refreshing, they shared:

“Most people are not really allowed to be themselves — if you’ve watched The Crown, I think that’s pretty understood.”

That’s why she’s so excited about this moment:

“There’s air and space and room. She can just be who she is.”

It’s certainly an exciting time with so much still to come from Meg! We just hope her business ventures and media projects are more successful this time around! Otherwise, she’s gonna have to come up with a whole new plan!

Thoughts?? Sound OFF (below)!

Adam Sandler is a big Swiftie — and Travis Kelce totally gets it!

The actor appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce‘s episode of New Heights on Wednesday, where he gushed about what a big fan he is of Taylor Swift! Recalling how his whole family freaked out over the news of Tayvis, Adam shared:

“You being together. That photo of when you first started dating, my family was like, ‘Yes! Look how good they are together! He’s a gentleman! And she’s having so much fun with him!’ Any time Taylor is laughing with you, my whole f**kin’ family is high fiving.”

Aw!!

The football player’s cheeks got bright pink at that comment as he replied:

“You’ve got me sweating, man.”

So cute!

The comedian — who will soon star on screen alongside the Kansas City Chiefs player — went on to gush about Taylor and the impact she has on his daughters Sadie, 18, and Sunny, 15, adding:

“What a girl. She means so much to our house. The kids were little and we were listening to Taylor Swift — it was one of the first times that you listen to every song on the record. When I was a kid, The Beatles you did that with, maybe Elton John. Every tune. They knew every word.”

The tight end couldn’t agree more, noting in response that she is the “best performer out there.” And like most fathers, the Grown Ups star’s kids first put him onto Taylor’s music. But he quickly became a fan himself! Sandler said:

“I love listening to her in the car. I love what she has to say. Every message. Every melody. The production. What she meant to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life.”

She’s truly such a powerhouse! Also, Adam’s family was lucky enough to meet the Grammy winner on more than one occasion — and she did not disappoint. The Happy Gilmore lead shared:

Saturday Night Live, she saw the kids there — took her time with them. And then at her premiere for the movie, she talked to the kids about their movie [You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah]. She talked about what she liked in it, and she just floors my family.”

She is the NICEST!! Her comments about their Netflix film probably meant the world to the teens. Love that!

No matter how many times he’s been around her, Adam also teased that she’s the one celeb he still gets a “little f**king jumpy” around.  Hah! Travis can relate to that from the early days! See the whole podcast (below):

Jana Kramer just expertly dodged a bullet! Or, at least, the end of a very fun era!

On Monday’s episode of her Whine Down podcast, the One Tree Hill alum revealed her eldest Jolie is growing up — and she’s not ready for it! Specifically, the 8-year-old had some questions about a certain man who comes around once a year to deliver toys. You know, Santa Claus!! Jana recalled:

“Jolie goes, ‘Mommy, I was talking to this girl at lunch.’ … I was like, ‘OK, what did she say?’ She’s like, ‘She said that Santa’s not real.’ And she goes, ‘So, is it true, Mommy? Is Santa not real?’ And I just stared at her and I was like, ‘What do you believe? What do you think?’ Because in my mind, it’s not time for her [to] know that Santa’s not real.”

OMG! We bet Jana was stressing!!

Related: Jana Kramer Drags Blake Lively’s Ignorant It Ends With Us DV Comments!

The Christmas in Mississippi star is of the mindset that her kids — including 5-year-old Jace whom she also shares with ex-husband Mike Caussin and 9-month-old Roman whom she shares with husband Allan Russell — shouldn’t have to learn the truth about Santa until they are in “fifth grade or above” (so, around age 10). Because of that, she had to think quickly to navigate this convo! She shared:

“I just kinda turned the question around to her, and I just said, ‘What do you believe?’ And she said, ‘Yeah?’ And I said, ‘Yes.’ And I was starting to stumble over my words. I was like, ‘Yes, Santa is real.’”

Jolie was then skeptical about magic, which her classmate also told her doesn’t exist, but Jana had a fast response to that, too! She said:

“I was like, ‘Baby, the magic of Christmas is, like, the most beautiful time.’”

Thankfully, it all worked! Jolie’s still a believer in Santa. But her momma did own up to two mythological creatures being fake, as she dished:

“[Jolie said], ‘But, I mean, the Easter Bunny isn’t real.’ And I was like, ‘100 percent, not real.’ She’s like, ‘Mommy, a bunny jumping around?’ I was like, ‘1,000 percent, that’s not real.’ And she’s like, ‘And the Tooth Fairy isn’t real either, is it?’ and I was like, ‘No, baby.’ So, she got those two.”

Oh, man. Feels like a slippery slope to reveal the truth about some and not all! Hopefully, Jolie doesn’t get to thinking too hard about any of this! Love that Jana’s trying to keep the magic alive for her children as long as possible!!

Now that the 8-year-old understands the truth about some holidays, though, the mother-daughter duo are going to work together to “make it fun for Jace and Roman.” Aw! That’ll be nice for the little girl!

Thoughts? How would you have handled this?? Let us know (below)!

Matt Damon might get pulled into Ben Affleck‘s divorce from Jennifer Lopez — because his production company with his pal is at stake!

As Perezcious readers know, J.Lo filed for divorce earlier this month. But per TMZ insiders, the couple shockingly didn’t sign a prenup before getting married. That means that anything they acquired in their 2-year marriage is now community property — meaning they’ll have to equally divide their assets. The performers were booked and busy these last few years, but that’s not the only reason this split is getting messy and very complicated, according to insiders!

Related: Ben Affleck Has ‘A Darkness To Him’ That Jennifer Lopez Could Never Fix

Just four months after Bennifer tied the knot, the Good Will Hunting lead formed his production company Artists Equity with Matt Damon in November 2022. Via TMZ, Ben’s stake in the company is now community property. And it is one of the biggest assets at play in the divorce. OMG!!

This means that Jenny from the Block is financially entitled to share profits from the company’s recent hits, such as Air, the upcoming Unstoppable which she stars in, The Instigators, Small Things Like These, and The Accountant 2. Because of this, Matt could get dragged into the divorce, too, since he is a major stakeholder in the company. It’s currently unclear exactly what may play out. But if things are as messy as they sound, and if Ben really didn’t do anything to safeguard his business from his marriage, then who knows?! Maybe J.Lo would fight him to retain some of his stake in the company for good? That would be wild!

Now, Ben will also have a financial interest in some of the projects she was involved in, too, like Shotgun Wedding, Atlas, and This Is Me… Now. But while it may be annoying for to split her income, it’s not quite the same as having his company on the line!

According to the outlet, issues like this are why the ongoing divorce talks have gotten increasingly tense — causing the duo to stop speaking to each other. Hopefully, they can reach some kind of agreement before things get too heated! Reactions?!? Sound OFF (below)!

It pays to be close to controversy!

Two stars of the upcoming Hulu reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — the show that will follow the Mormon mom TikTok stars who were exposed for “soft swinging” with each other’s husbands — are opening up about their income, and it’s nuts! Speaking to E! News on Sunday, Whitney Leavitt revealed:

“It’s hard because each year is different. You could get a really big brand deal like, ‘Hey, we want to have like a six-month contract with you,’ and then next year you don’t get it at all. It varies drastically.”

She said one of her biggest deals was to promote a sex toy on her social media account for $20,000 — but that’s chump change compared to what she made on another super secret deal.

Related: Farrah Abraham Bought 15-Year-Old Daughter Sophia Her DANGEROUS First Car 

Her pal Mayci Neeley dished:

“We both have gotten one — we can’t say what it was — but we’ve gotten a deal that was $75,000 one year.”

Whoa!

Whitney, who has over 2 million TikTok followers, added that brand deals all depend on each Mormon #MomTok star’s brand, sharing:

“It will vary for people depending on what your specialty is, like fitness and health or beauty. Toys or mommy products for your children.”

Her co-star, with over 1 million followers, agreed. She noted that “each industry varies. Some pay more than the others.”

When asked if their connection to the Mormon community’s swinging sex scandal impacted their finances, the influencers insisted it only helped them. Whitney exclaimed:

“Oh no! If anything it just gave us more publicity to be honest with you.”

Everybody loves a scandal!! Meanwhile, Mayci had a slightly different take, pointing out:

“It’s kind of a mix though. I threw an event for my business launch that I did on the show and I had a couple of vendors that almost pulled out because they’re like, ‘Wait, are you in that swinging stuff?’ So, I think reputation-wise it took a little bit of a hit, but income-wise I don’t think it really affected us too much.”

Both of them have denied taking part in the Mormon swinging groups, so that helps. Whitney said:

“I think if we were involved specifically, Mayci and I, it would have been different. We weren’t, so we just took the clout from it.”

As Perezcious readers know, a bunch of Mormon moms went viral online when member Taylor Frankie Paul revealed all the sexual experimentation that was going down behind closed doors in the friend group — leading to tons of broken marriages!

Apparently, a bunch of people started doing what they called “soft swinging,” where they’d make out with other people while their partners watched. Sex was off-limits… until it wasn’t, and then all hell broke loose! The scandal quickly blew up online, leading to the upcoming Hulu series. There, the controversy will not only play out on screen, but the ladies will also be seen trying to convince their husbands to leave behind the outdated ways of life they were raised on within the religion. It looks juicy, y’all!

If this show takes off in the way that it seems like, these girls will just be making even MORE money per brand deal!

Reactions? Can you believe how much money they make? Sound OFF (below)!

Rose McGowan is opening up about her complex friendship with Shannen Doherty.

In Friday’s episode of the late actress’ podcast Let’s Be Clear, Rose reflected on the pair’s friendship, her biggest regrets, and the last time she saw Shannen before she died from cancer. As Perezcious readers know, the pair had a complicated relationship after Rose replaced Shannen on Charmed, showing up to play the Halliwells’ half-sister, Paige Matthews, beginning in 2001. Of course, that was the same year Shannen (AKA Prue Halliwell) was fired amid a rift with co-star Alyssa Milano.

Related: Jennie Garth CHILLED By Shannen Doherty’s Death

In the podcast episode, Rose noted that at the time she “joined Charmed [she] did not understand the backstory” and was “just trying to keep [her] head above water.” She explained “they made it sound like she was difficult,” elaborating elsewhere:

“I was just told she was fired and nobody talked about her. […] I was very famous at that point, but I was persona non grata, non-hirable. I caused disruptions everywhere I went. This is something that Shannen [and I] later talked about that she related to: the weight of what it’s like to have the media machine lie about you.”

Despite pressure, Rose refused to lean into the “war” everyone wanted her to start with Shannen:

“From the get go, every question was like, ‘Do you think Shannen Doherty hates you?’ ‘Do you think she’s jealous of you?’ ‘What do you think?’ And I refused to take the bait. They wanted me to start a war with her, and I was like, absolutely not. And to her credit, she absolutely did not do that either.”

Because of their history, many assumed they were in a bad place at the time of Shannen’s death. But it was actually quite the opposite! McGowan shared that they had been on good terms for a while — except the whole thing played out in private. This is one of Rose’s big regrets right now, as she candidly shared:

“I do regret not doing the podcast with her, but at the same time, I think because so much of our relationship had played out publicly, that to have that period of time just for us was really special.”

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum died at age 53 in July after a years-long cancer battle. Now, Rose regrets that she didn’t have more time with Shannen, too. She added:

“I wish I could have gotten to know her sooner. I don’t know how that would have happened, but I wish we could have. We both despised corporate feminism, as I call it, like slogans, and fake activists, and people that are just doing it for the clicks and the glory, but without actually putting in the work and the trauma that it takes to do that work.”

The Jawbreaker star acknowledged that she and Shannen were very similar, including in the way they both preferred directing to acting. Rose recalled:

“She really lived so many lives in one life, and that I certainly relate to. I know a lot of us can, but she lived life on a grand scale with gusto and just badass fun. One of the things we learned, I think, from each other by being outspoken was actually how much more similar we were than different.”

As for their last interaction, Rose recalled:

“About a month before she died, we got to be together just alone, just me and her, for the first time ever, and for the first time in 25 years. It was so cool, and we just actually didn’t want the night to end. And it was both wholesome and — that word is so dorky, but here we are. It was sweet.”

Aw! The precious alone time they shared was the perfect opportunity for them to heal old wounds and grow closer, she noted:

“She told me stuff that I’d never known, and I told her stuff that she didn’t know. And she had some questions for me, and I answered them and vice versa.”

This get-together was also the first time the Scream alum, 50, learned Shannen was preparing to try a new “experimental treatment” for her health condition prior to passing. She reflected:

“I had a feeling when she said about the treatment, I just had this feeling that this was not really going to go well, and she looked frightened for the first time. She was frightened. And I gave her a big hug, and I told her I loved her.”

Their time together may have been cut short, but at least Rose was able to tell Shannen just how she felt while she still could! That in and of itself is a bittersweet gift. So glad they were on good terms and shared such special moments before this tragic death, even despite the regrets that Rose has now in how things played out around them.

It’s been months since the YouTube star shockingly filed for divorce from her husband Parker Ferris on the same day she announced the birth of their third child. That all went down in April, and she’s yet to speak out about the breakup — until now! While it doesn’t sound like the content creator is ready to spill any tea about their separation yet, she did want to “soft launch” the split on her socials!

Taking to TikTok on Thursday, the 28-year-old leaned into the new “demure” trend to break the news. And she said this while holding her newborn baby:

“You see how I don’t talk about my divorce online? Very demure, very mindful.”

LOLz!!! She added:

“You see how I considered my children and how it would affect them to have their family’s personal information shared all over the internet? Very smart, very good mom.”

She went on to blast the media for reporting on her divorce filing before she chose to share the news publicly, and while she was caring for her “premature baby who was in the NICU.” Annoyed, she insisted that she’ll “continue to stay unbothered and not share anything to protect my peace. Very demure. Very mindful. Very cutesy. Very peaceful.” Amen!!!

Ch-ch-check it out (below)!

Aspyn and Parker had been married since 2015 and share daughters Cove, 4, Lola, 2, and their newborn. Despite the split, they’ve continued to post content together throughout the divorce.

Just over two weeks after the April filing, the co-parents were granted a motion to halt their divorce proceedings. The motion for stay was granted “pending the outcome of settlement negotiations,” court docs obtained by E! News stated. So, it seems like they’re really prioritizing their young kids amid this breakup and trying to avoid drama. Love to see it.

Thoughts?! Share ’em (below)!

Blake Lively made her baby the wildest cake! And folks do NOT know how to react…

On BBC Radio 2‘s Zoe Ball and Friends show last week, the Gossip Girl alum revealed that she baked a boob-themed cake to celebrate her son’s first birthday. Laughing, she recalled:

“My birthday cakes always have a little bit of a sense of humor. For my baby I just did a giant set of tits. Which I feel like will haunt him for life. But, what do they want at one? He can’t declare what he wants. So, boobs!”

OMG!

As the interviewer cracked up, Blake added:

“I’ll show you a picture after, they’re pretty amazing. Of the cake, not of mine … Also amazing though.”

LOLz!!!

The A Simple Favor star is a big baker and often makes birthday cakes and pies for her family (the latter being her husband Ryan Reynolds‘ favorite). So, it’s no surprise that she had some fun with this dessert. BTW, the boob cake was for her son Olin. He’s 1 year old, so it’s literally his first cake.

She went on to show the radio talk show crew the photo, enthusiastically sharing:

“The cake is amazing, you do need to see that cake! You all need to see the cake. Not the camera.”

She was so proud to show it off. Hah! Too bad the public didn’t get to see the photo. We bet the pics of the baby and that cake are something! Ch-ch-check it out:

Of course, this anecdote comes amid her ongoing It Ends With Us scandal. Blake’s reputation has been dragged through the mud online after fans discovered an apparent beef between her and co-star and director Justin Baldoni. They apparently butted heads over creative differences while making the film — and some other shady s**t may have happened, too.

But what most fans have been upset by lately is the way Blake and the rest of her castmates ignored Justin during the press tour, something they felt was rude and sparked tons of other resurfaced rude interview clips of Blake to go viral. Given all that context, reactions to this cake story were mixed. Some thought it was in good fun as a mom, others felt like she was trying WAY too hard to be fun and “naughty” giving her baby the type of cake you’d see at a bachelor party.

Fans took to the comments to share the bad:

“She is trying so hard to be Ryan. It doesn’t work. This isn’t the cute anecdote she thinks it is.”

“Ha ….. ha……. Ha…..? Is this supposed to be funny? No one likes her, you can’t hide psychotic ever not even with non-funny jokes.”

“Oh, her PR team is trying hard.”

“She’s insufferable”

And the good!

“I don’t know how you would watch this and not like her. She sounds hilarious.”

“Hey that’s all my son wanted at one!! Great idea. I love her so much.”

This has to be one of the least problematic things she’s said in all her press runs, all things considered! And honestly, it is funny AF! Reactions? What do the moms out there think?? Sound OFF (below)!

The Twisters star has just started production on his upcoming Hulu comedy series Chad Powers. And his transformation into the titular character Russ Holliday, AKA, Chad Powers, is insane. He looks unrecognizable!!! You just… oof, seriously, you’ve just gotta see this for yourself!

OMG! LOLz!

Such a big difference. Hah!

The show will follow Glen’s character, a college football quarterback who tanked his career and is then forced to go undercover at a struggling school to keep playing. The synopsis details:

“When bad behavior nukes hotshot QB Russ Holliday’s (Powell) college career, he disguises himself and walks onto a struggling Southern football team as the talented, affable Chad Powers.”

This concept — and the football player’s shaggy look — might be familiar to you! That’s because it’s actually based on a 2022 Eli’s Places video starring former NFL star QB Eli Manning as Chad Powers. Look:

So, you can expect more of that goofiness from the Top Gun: Maverick lead! Reactions?? Reactions?! Spill ’em in the comments (below)!
