Tensions have escalated at CBS in the wake of 60 Minutes reporter Scott Pelley’s firing.

“Morale is terrible throughout the company,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “No one knows what to believe or who is working against them. It has never been like this before. The staff in the newsroom all feel like they cannot trust anyone. How can you work like that?”

News broke on Tuesday, June 2, that Pelley, 68, was fired from CBS and 60 Minutes after an alleged verbal altercation with the show’s new executive producer, Nick Bilton.

Bilton, 49, reportedly stormed out of a staff meeting after Pelley told him he has “slender” qualifications for his role, also questioning the network’s future plans for the program.

Scott Pelley has responded to CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss’ comments about his recent departure from the network. “I am saddened to see the transcript of the CBS News morning editorial meeting,” Pelley, 68, said in a statement shared with The New York Times on Wednesday, June 3. “Bari Weiss knows what she said is not […]

According to the New York Times, Pelley also privately accused Bari Weiss, the network’s editor-in-chief, of “murdering” 60 Minutes during the explosive meeting.

“You should hear this from me first. We have parted ways with Scott Pelley,” a memo sent to staffers and obtained by The Hollywood Reporter read on Tuesday. “I know how much Scott meant to many of you, and I don’t say this lightly. I made repeated attempts to have direct conversations with him over the weekend, and this afternoon I tried to find common ground. That was not the path Scott chose.”

In an email to Pelley obtained by NBC News, Bilton told the correspondent that he “hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt.”

Pelley broke his silence on his firing on Wednesday, June 3.

“There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes,” he said in a statement. “60 has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality and humanity in our stories.”

Pelley then accused CBS’ new owners of bowing to President Donald Trump. (Skydance Media, led by David Ellison, the son of billionaire Larry Ellison, bought CBS parent company Paramount in a merger last year.)

“The new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration,” Pelley alleged in his statement. “The waste is heartbreaking.”

Scott Pelley was fired from CBS’ 60 Minutes after an allegedly tense standoff with executive producer Nick Bilton. “You should hear this from me first. We have parted ways with Scott Pelley,” a note distributed to CBS staffers and obtained by The Hollywood Reporter in June 2026 read. “I know how much Scott meant to […]

Pelley wrote in conclusion, “I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion — a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again — a day when sanity, competence and courage return.”

According to Us’ insider, CBS staffers have felt uneasy ever since the merger between Skydance Media and Paramount Global.

“From the beginning, the general belief has been that the intent is to destroy the news [division] from the inside,” the source says. “Instead of cancelling or dismantling the programs, they want to humiliate them. That’s truly how the staff feels. And they 200 percent believe the same will happen at CNN.” (Paramount Skydance has been working towards merging with CNN’s parent company Warner Brothers Discovery in a landmark $110 billion deal.)

The insider adds that the alleged narrative that Pelley was “problematic and disliked” by others at the network is “BS.”

“These are not fragile people, they can deal with tough personalities,” the source says. “That is not the issue. They are demanding honest communication about the changes that are occurring, and that’s the least they deserve.”

The insider concludes, “This is happening throughout the company, but especially in the news division.”

An additional insider exclusively tells Us that despite the backlash, some staffers are looking on the bright side of the network’s new diction.

“Some are happy and supportive about the changes,” the CBS insider shares. “And there’s recognition throughout the newsroom that these changes are necessary.”

There’s only one place where America’s sexiest singles could travel to possibly find The One — but where exactly is Love Island USA actually filmed?

Love Island USA follows a group of singles who must pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa. The contestants — referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and earn a shot at the $100,000 prize.

While the islanders are filming nonstop for weeks, viewers are watching daily episodes and casting votes that affect the couples and the fate of the contestants.

The backdrop for Peacock’s hit reality series is in Mamanuca Islands, Fiji.

Past seasons of Love Island USA, meanwhile, were set in Villa Takali in Fiji and Las Vegas’ The Cromwell. Waterfalling Estate in Hawaii and Santa Barbara’s Dos Pueblos Ranch were also featured in past seasons before the series ultimately settled on Fiji.

The popular dating show returned on in June 2026 with contestants Aniya Harvey, Beatriz Hatz, Bryce Alakai Dettloff, Gabriel Vasconcelos, KC Chandler, Mackenzie “Kenzie” Annis, Melanie Moreno, Sincere Rhea, Sean Reifel, Trinity Tatum and Zach Georgiou.

Love Island USA is coming off a record-breaking moment with season 7 bringing in 18.4 billion streaming minutes, making it the most-watched original season of television on the platform.

“[This season] there’s a lot more emphasis put on the journey as opposed to the result,” narrator Ian Stirling told Us Weekly in July 2025. ”I think it’s about the journey of finding someone and how you grow as a person by doing that. Whereas five or six years ago, you had like proper millennials in there. There was that more traditional approach to dating.”

While some fans questioned the love journeys, Stirling was on board with the Islanders taking a different approach.

“The end goal [was] to be with someone and you have this contract with someone you’re in a relationship with to honor that person and to honor that relationship,” he noted. “I think now there’s a lot more people who make contracts with themselves to have the journey that they want and the experience they’re after.”

He added, “These people are predominantly speaking in their early 20s. If you can’t be selfish dating then — then when can you? Especially people from my generation, they weren’t selfish in their 20s and maybe did not want to upset people. Then they get to sort of 30 to 40 and get divorced and go insane. Maybe it’s the healthier way to do it.”

New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.

President Donald Trump teased that the UFC arena placed on the White House lawn has the potential to become a permanent fixture.

“Many don’t know that in Paris, France, the Eiffel Tower — 1889 it was built — was supposed to be taken down immediately after the World’s Fair,” Trump, 79, said in a TikTok video on Tuesday, June 2. “And then they said, ‘You know, we sort of like it, let’s leave it up a little bit longer.’”

Trump explained that Paris “never took” down the Eiffel Tower and hinted that his UFC arena could have the same fate.

“We’re building something in front of the White House that’s quite attractive to a lot of people,” he continued. “It’s going to have a big UFC fight on June 14, and I’m looking at it, and maybe we’ll never ever take it down.”

The president is hosting a UFC fight scheduled on June 14, which also happens to be Trump’s 80th birthday. Six matches will be held on the White House’s lawn. The event, which has been titled UFC Freedom 250, is part of the multiple celebrations for the United States of America’s 250th anniversary.

The arena itself holds about 5,000 guests. Fans can watch the match on screens at the Ellipse, which is a 52-acre park between the White House and the National Mall.

Construction on the arena began last month. It includes a fighting cage and towering stage lights adorned with the American flag’s iconic stars and stripes on the side.

The event — dubbed “UFC Freedom Fights 250” — is part of the 250th anniversary celebrations for the United States. Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje will compete […]

“Does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White? We’re going to have a UFC fight. We’re going to have a UFC fight — think of this — on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there,” Trump told a crowd at an event in July 2025. “We’re going to build a little [octogon]. We’re not, Dana is going to do it. Dana is great, one of a kind. [There’s] going to be a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like 20,000 to 25,000 people, and we’re going to do that as part of 250 also.”

Not only will there be a UFC match at the White House, but Freedom 250 also includes a series of concerts for the Great American State Fair. However, Several artists, including Bret Michaels and Martina McBride, claimed they were told the concerts were part of a nonpartisan celebration and have since dropped out of the event.

Former “Queer Eye” star Karamo Brown has been a public figure for over two decades. In more recent years, the media personality has been plagued by plastic surgery rumors. Now, months after the hit Netflix series ended, he’s opening up, revealing chronic pain and an array of other issues stemming from a buccal fat removal procedure.

Brown interviewed with PEOPLE in June 2026. During the discussion, the years-long rumors of extreme plastic surgery came up, with the former “Queer Eye” star not only confirming that he’d had work done, but also revealing the secret pain he faced from having buccal fat removed.

He began, “For years, people have been like, ‘Karamo’s had plastic surgery. He has so much filler in his face.’ I was like, ‘You know what? I can’t say anything because you can’t get into fights with the trolls.’ But I was suffering for years in pain, and no one knew.”

Regarding his motivation for the procedure, Brown stated that he’d gained around 70 pounds during the 2020 pandemic. He felt that he’d look better if his face could be slimmer. However, instead, “It turned into a year-and-a-half of pain.”

Brown Experienced Complications With The Procedure

After having the buccal fat removal done, Brown experienced complications with scar tissue as well as a buildup of saliva. According to the 45-year-old, “There’d be times you’d see me smile, and it was tight. My cheeks would be big because they were full of saliva, full of scar tissue. I was in the worst pain.”

After that, Brown landed a syndicated daytime talk show in 2022. Unfortunately, his procedure made filming the series more challenging. He shared, “I would shoot six episodes a day, and there’d be times when I was filming my show that my mouth would get so dry and it would be so swollen.”

In taking matters into his own hands, Brown lost 70 pounds during the show’s second season, stating, “the more weight I lost, the less scar tissue you could see.”

He added, “The scar tissue and the saliva were still there, but because I was skinnier, it looked kind of normal. I stopped eating because it helped the feeling of not having so much scar tissue.” Additionally, Brown revealed that his “Queer Eye” costars made snide remarks about his changing appearance.

According to him, “People around will look at you differently, and they don’t say anything, but you feel it. That was equally as hurtful as how I saw myself. I even remember one of my former [Queer Eye] castmates was watching an old clip during the final season, and he was like, ‘Oh, look how handsome he used to be.’”

Brown continued, “I was like, ‘Okay, girl, I caught your little dig, but whatever.’ Those types of things affect you. They hurt your feelings.”

The ‘Queer Eye’ Alum Has Since Had A Follow Up Procedure

Brown continued sharing emotional details of his health journey by confirming that he’s fixed the previous botched surgery. Regarding what led to the decision, he explained, “I felt embarrassed that I did this to myself. I would never do it now, but I couldn’t live with the chronic pain anymore. I couldn’t live with my mouth swelling up and not being able to talk.”

In discussing the experience with the more recent procedure, he stated, “This doctor did the most amazing work. I’m so thankful because I was in pain every night, every day. It was horrendous. Thanks to this doctor, I feel so much better. I’m smiling better, there’s not saliva collecting, the scar tissue’s gone. It’s good.”

Brown also shared that he underwent a blepharoplasty during the same session. He candidly shared, “To be really transparent with y’all, I was like, ‘While we under, can you get rid of my bags?’ I’m 45! He got rid of like 60% of my bags.”

Karamo Brown Went Through A Breakup In 2025

Brown began dating photographer Carlos Medel in 2021, following the end of his engagement to director Ian Jordan in September 2020. However, according to US Weekly, he and Medel broke up in February 2025, with the photographer confirming the split on social media.

Then, toward the end of the year, Brown appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” and confirmed that he was single before playfully flirting with host Andy Cohen.

Brown’s Talk Show Is Coming To An End

Brown launched his daytime talk show, “Karamo,” in 2022. However, according to Variety, NBCUniversal opted not to renew it and multiple other first-run syndication talk shows. Some of the others include “The Steve Wilkos Show” and “Access Hollywood.”

“Karamo” will continue airing new episodes through the summer.

It’s been mentioned a million times before, but it’s worth mentioning a million times more: The Lord of the Rings is the apex of fantasy cinema. Peter Jackson‘s trilogy adapted J. R. R. Tolkien‘s massive literary magnus opus, turning it into a generation-defining epic that almost single-handedly revitalized the fantasy genre on the big screen. At the time, it was a genuine phenomenon, surpassing the big screen to become a cultural event that united everyone, even those who generally didn’t enjoy fantasy. A commercial and critical success, Jackson’s trilogy became one of the franchises that defined the 2000s, influencing most of the subsequent fantasy movies released over the next decade or so.

Now, it would be easy to declare any of the three Lord of the Rings movies the best fantasy effort ever made, and you might be inclined to agree. Why wouldn’t you, considering all we’ve already said? However, there’s a strong argument to be made that this trilogy is not the crowning achievement of the genre. In fact, three movie masterpieces surpass The Lord of the Rings when it comes to capturing the true essence of the fantasy genre. Indeed, you could say Jackson’s movies are equal parts epics and action-adventures, whereas the movies on this list are unabashed representations of pure, undiluted fantasy, making them better representatives of the beloved and seminal genre.

‘The Wizard of Oz’ (1939)

Directed by several men but mostly credited to Victor Fleming, The Wizard of Oz remains the gold standard for cinematic fantasy. Based on Frank L. Baum‘s works, specifically the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the film stars Judy Garland as Dorothy, a young girl from Kansas who is transported alongside her dog, Toto, to the magical land of Oz via a tornado. There, she follows the yellow brick road accompanied by a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), a Tin Man (Jack Haley), and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) to reach the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, who has the power to send her home. Along the way, the group is pursued by the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton).

Released during the so-called golden year of Hollywood, The Wizard of Oz was a success but not an instant classic per se. Indeed, it wasn’t until the advent of television that the film became the fantasy mainstay it is today. However, by now, its reputation is all but ensured as a giant of the silver screen and one of the pillars upon which modern fantasy rises. In fact, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say every single post-1939 fantasy movie is directly indebted to The Wizard of Oz; we simply wouldn’t have The Lord of the Rings without Fleming’s masterwork. It proved that fantasy could not only be done in live-action but that it could be a genuine hook for audiences. Garland turned Dorothy into arguably the ultimate fantasy hero, while Hamilton’s portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the West lives on in the pantheon of great movie villains. In terms of depicting the fantasy genre honestly and faithfully, few movies surpass The Wizard of Oz.

‘The Princess Bride’ (1987)

Although many great fantasy movies came out in the nearly fifty years between The Wizard of Oz and The Princess Bride, few represented fantasy so charmingly and unabashedly as Rob Reiner‘s masterpiece. Based on the 1973 novel by William Goldman, who also adapted it for the silver screen, the film begins with the setup of a grandfather (Peter Falk) telling the story to his sick grandson (Fred Savage). The tale itself concerns farmhand Westley (Cary Elwes), who goes on a quest to rescue his love, Buttercup (Robin Wright), from the odious Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon).

Equal parts thrilling, charming, hilarious, and romantic, The Princess Bride is nothing short of a genuine cinematic miracle. Endlessly quotable and featuring unforgettable set piece after unforgettable set piece, the film lives and breathes magic. It’s possibly the ultimate movie fairy tale, which is no easy task considering it has many a Disney movie to compete with. Yet, there’s just no flaw here; the central love story between Westley and Buttercup is enchanting, the villains — Sarandon is perfectly loathsome, but it’s Christopher Guest‘s Count Rugen who is far more effective and memorable — are incredible, and the supporting cast is comprised of consummate scene-stealers. Mandy Patinkin‘s Inigo Montoya is cinema’s best swashbuckler, and his noble quest to avenge his father’s death represents the genre’s ideals of courage, honor, and righteous justice. In short, The Princess Bride is fantasy at its purest, most unabashedly honest.

‘Spirited Away’ (2001)

In the pantheon of brilliant fantasy auteurs, Hayao Miyazaki reigns supreme. In a career spanning over sixty years, Miyazaki has made some of the genre’s most timeless gems through his work in Studio Ghibli. Among his many masterpieces are the likes of My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Howl’s Moving Castle, and The Boy and the Heron, but his best arguably remains 2001’s Spirited Away. The plot follows Chihiro (Daveigh Chase), a young girl whose parents are turned into pigs after accidentally entering the spirit world. To rescue them, Chihiro agrees to work for the witch Yubaba (Suzanne Pleshette) at her bathhouse, tending exclusively to spirits. There, she loses her name and must work hard to reclaim it and save her parents from a cruel destiny.

Spirited Away is perhaps Studio Ghibli’s magnum opus. An ambitious fantasy tale in the guise of a classic coming-of-age story, it’s a fascinating and immersive journey rich in food for thought. Like other Miyazaki efforts, it features a considerable environmental message alongside other themes of self-discovery, purpose, identity, and finding one’s place in the world. Visually, it’s a treat for the eyes: the animation is striking, fluid, slightly off-putting, and vibrant, creating one of cinema’s most whimsical yet eerie realms. The tone is melancholy throughout, capturing the distinct sensation of growing up and leaving behind the carefree, enchanting days of childhood and facing a more uncertain future. Spirited Away is as surreal as it is delightful, offering a more insightful and thought-provoking take on fantasy that’s no less impactful or rewarding. Twenty-five years after its initial release, the film has aged beautifully, ensuring its legacy as one of the animated medium’s greatest triumphs.

Hugh Jackman has reportedly been left worried about the explosive details that his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness could reveal in a rumored tell-all memoir.

Even his new girlfriend, Sutton Foster, is said to be struggling with fears about her reputation being tainted by “homewrecker” allegations following the Marvel star’s split from Furness.

Although Hugh Jackman has seemingly maintained that nothing romantic happened between them before his 2023 divorce from Furness, the timeline of their romance continues to raise eyebrows.

Hugh Jackman And Deborra-Lee Furness’s Relationship Dynamics Don’t Seem Peaceful Anymore

Jackman has reportedly been left unsettled as his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness prepares to shop a bombshell exposé that promises to expose deep-seated “betrayals” and upend his squeaky-clean public perception.

For nearly three decades, the former couple was celebrated as one of Hollywood’s most stable and scandal-free marriages, but that was before they shockingly announced that they were calling it quits in 2023.

Things initially seemed cordial and peaceful, with reports suggesting their divorce went smoothly despite the huge amount of wealth and properties involved.

However, sources claim that the initial harmony has now disappeared, leaving Furness brewing with hurt and ready to speak out, especially as the “Wolverine” actor continues to flaunt his romance with Broadway star Sutton Foster at high-profile events.

Hugh Jackman Is Anxious About What Deborra-Lee Furness Could Reveal In A Rumored Tell-All Memoir

According to Closer Magazine, sources claimed that the Australian actress has been inundated with offers to tell her side of the story in both a tell-all memoir and documentary.

She has coyly alluded to going through a “traumatic journey of betrayal” after Jackman and Foster went public with their relationship in January last year, suggesting that any possible hesitation to hold back may now be out of the window.

“Deb has kept her side of the street squeaky clean, for the most part,” a close source told the media outlet. “She’s been incredibly dignified, and she still wants to meet with Sutton at some point, if only out of a willingness to be the bigger person.”

“But she’s still very hurt and betrayed by Hugh’s actions, and is now ready to push the red button on some of those plans that have been on ice for well over a year now,” they continued.

One thing that may leave the Hollywood leading man running for cover is also talks suggesting Furness will have to dig deep to bring out other possible skeletons to justify the big money she’s been paid for the memoir.

“The book is step one, but – for Deb to justify the big bucks – she’ll have to lay everything out there, which will include Hugh’s shady behavior with Sutton, and other occasions where he wasn’t exactly lily-white,” the source noted.

Hugh Jackman And Sutton Foster’s Relationship Timeline Raised Eyebrows

Jackman and Foster’s relationship timeline has remained a highly debated topic among netizens.

After announcing his split from Furness in 2023, they went public with their relationship just over a year later amid heavy rumors linking them to each other at the time.

Many have speculated that there was an overlap between his marriage to Furness and his romance with Foster as they worked together on the Broadway revival of “The Music Man” from 2021 until 2023.

It was after that that they both separated from their respective long-term partners, leaving many fans scrambling for answers.

Deborra-Lee Furness Still Hurt By How Her Marriage Fell Apart

Meanwhile, there have been signs that Furness is still hurt from the way things turned out between them.

After Jackman and Foster made their first appearance at the Met Gala last month, she reportedly “liked” an Instagram quote that read, “Sometimes the universe removes someone from your life because they don’t deserve to be in your future.”

She then commented on a post that was shared by actress Kerry Washington, which bore the caption, “You cannot trust ANYBODY…EVER.” Furness cheekily responded, “HILARIOUS…so true.”

All of these seem to attest to the fact that it’s payback time, especially after she seemingly made a huge sacrifice to help push Jackman’s career on the global stage.

Hugh Jackman’s Ex-Wife’s Decision To Speak Up Will Be ‘An Absolute Nightmare’ For The Actor

According to Closer, the source explained that the money isn’t the major reason Furness is considering a tell-all memoir, but for her to “take back some control and reclaim her part in this story.”

“She spent years helping Hugh build this image of being the ultimate devoted husband and all-around good guy, only to now watch herself totally erased from the picture while he parades around with Sutton,” they continued. “It might not be so hard to take if they weren’t rubbing their romance in her face while she’s still picking up the pieces after the divorce.”

The insider added that although Furness is “not a vengeful person,” the fact remains that she hasn’t been able to get closure, which has seemingly left her bitter and unhappy.

Her decision to speak up is said to be “an absolute nightmare” for Jackman, whose nice guy image in the industry is set to be thrown up in flames “thanks to the way he’s handled this divorce.”

“There’s no telling how far he could fall if Deb totally exposes everything,” the source added.

It remains to be seen how things turn out, as Furness has reportedly asked for a meeting between all three of them just so she can get closure and move on.

The internet has been patiently waiting on Tammy Rivera to enter the chat amid Waka Flocka’s baby announcement.

She said she started losing respect for him, and that’s when she knew it was time for them to split.

Waka Flocka Heads Into Daddy Era On 40th Birthday

Clavicular is apparently out to prove that seeing really is believing.

The controversial “looksmaxxing” influencer — real name Braden Peter — is raising eyebrows once again after he decided to livestream his rhinoplasty for curious fans and devoted followers.

Peters, 20, headed to the office of Dr. Michael Salzhauer — better known online as Dr. Miami — on Wednesday, June 3, to undergo the nose job. While the procedure lasted approximately two hours, viewers were able to watch the entire livestream on the platform Kick for just under five hours.

“This content is for mature viewers only,” a message read on Kick before the video began. “You must be 18 or older to view it.” (At the time of publication, the video has more than 30,000 views and plenty of commentary.)

While some prefer to fly under the radar when they get plastic surgery, celebrities including Denise Richards, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jessi Ngatikaura and Heidi Montag keep it candid. After getting some of her enhancements reversed in 2013, Montag exclusively told Us Weekly that she struggled with the decision. Thank You! You have successfully subscribed. […]

“There was absolutely no need for a nose job — instead he needs to invest in a good psychologist,” one user wrote via X after seeing a clip. Another follower wrote, “Creators are turning life events into content in ways nobody imagined.”

After developing a following on social media, Peters has been introducing the term “looksmaxxing” to pop culture.

According to the BBC, the goal of looksmaxxing is to become the most attractive person you can be according to a set of prescribed criteria. Particular importance is given to jawlines, eyes and physique. (For reference, Peters previously stated that Matt Bomer is one of the most handsome male celebrities in Hollywood today.)

When it comes to politics, Clavicular previously said he would rather vote for Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom over Republican Vice President JD Vance because he preferred Newsom’s looks. (Peters has since shared his new “no more politics” policy with fans.)

Although he has found success — including opportunities to walk in New York Fashion Week and a reported $100,000 a month paycheck from his preferred streaming service, Kick — Peters has also found himself in the center of several controversies.

In January 2026, Clavicular was spotted partying at a Miami nightclub with white nationalist commentator Nick Fuentes and controversial influencer Andrew Tate, who is accused multiple times over of rape, sexual assault and abuse. (Tate has denied all allegations.)

Two months later, Peters was sentenced to six months of probation after shooting an already-dead alligator in the Florida Everglades during a livestream.

He also walked off an interview for 60 Minutes Australia in April 2026 after a journalist asked whether he identifies as an incel.

“Looksmaxxing is self improvement, right? So it’s about potentially even ascending out of that category,” he replied. “So that would be kind of one of the goals is to disassociate from being an incel and overcome that. So that doesn’t make sense.”

Jennifer Garner is opening up about a chapter of her life she rarely discusses publicly.

More than a decade after her separation from Ben Affleck, the actress reflected on how the breakup reshaped her priorities and career.

While Hollywood kept moving around her, Garner found herself focused on raising her children, making sacrifices that left her acting career largely on pause for years.

Garner and Affleck announced their split in 2015 after a decade of marriage. Together, they share three children: Violet, now 20, Finn, 17, and Samuel, 13.

While both parents continued to move forward with their lives after the separation, Garner recently revealed that the transition came at significant personal and professional costs.

Speaking to InStyle, the actress described the breakup’s aftermath as a difficult period for the family. She explained that caring for her children became her primary focus, leaving little room for the career she had spent years building.

“When my kids were little, I worked so little, and then we had such an upheaval in our family, that I really hardly worked for a long time,” Garner said.

During those years, school runs, family routines, and everyday responsibilities took precedence. While Affleck continued appearing in major films such as “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “The Accountant,” Garner largely stepped away from the spotlight to ensure stability at home.

The former couple finalized their divorce in 2018. Since then, Affleck has married and divorced Jennifer Lopez, while Garner has maintained a long-term relationship with businessman John Miller.

Finding Her Way Back To Acting

Now that her children are older and more independent, Jennifer Garner is enjoying a return to the profession she loves. The actress is preparing for her next major project, “The Five-Star Weekend,” an eight-episode Peacock miniseries scheduled to premiere on July 9, 2026.

For Garner, returning to work feels less like a comeback and more like reclaiming a part of herself that had been set aside for years.

“I’m also really grateful to have this part of my life back,” she shared.

The actress admitted that the past year and a half has allowed her to throw herself fully into acting again without the same family demands she once faced.

“[It’s a gift] to have this year and a half where I just indulged [in acting], because this job is very selfish,” she noted.

Garner went on to explain why acting often requires complete commitment.

She said, “It’s all about your schedule. It’s not about what the kids have going on at school. It’s not about pickups and drop-offs and making it home for dinner.”

With time no longer feeling unlimited, she is eager to embrace every opportunity that comes her way.

“I’m 54, I’m not going to be able to do it forever,” she said.

Jennifer Garner Says Acting Comes From Joy

Despite decades in the entertainment industry, Garner insists her passion for acting has never been driven by fame or validation. Instead, she approaches the work with genuine enthusiasm.

The actress explained that stepping back into film and television has reminded her why she fell in love with performing in the first place.

“I feel lucky because I really come at [acting] from a place of joy. I’m not tortured. It’s not filling a hole. I just really love to do it. And I love to be around people who love to do it,” she shared.

That perspective has helped her enjoy this stage of her career without feeling pressured to prove anything.

Rather than chasing success, Garner appears focused on making the most of opportunities while she still can.

Her excitement is evident as she prepares to star alongside Chloe Sevigny, Gemma Chan, and Judy Greer in her upcoming series.

Jennifer Garner Refuses To Feel Guilty About Working

One of the more surprising admissions from Garner involved her attitude toward balancing work and motherhood. After years of putting family first, she no longer feels the need to apologize when professional commitments take her away from home.

“When I work, I don’t apologize to my kids for it,” Garner said.

She credits her children for being supportive and understanding as she has returned to acting.

She said, “I so thank them for being so sweet about it. But that’s part of life. Working hard is part of life, and messing up is part of life.”

Garner believes children benefit from seeing their parents pursue meaningful goals while also navigating life’s challenges.

“Tripping and falling – there’s room for all of it,” she said.

At the same time, she remains deeply committed to her role as a mother.

“I relate to that feeling of like, OK, I gave everything to mothering,” she noted. “I’m still their mom, I’m not going anywhere, I’m still all-in.”

Her comments suggest that while her career may once have taken a back seat, her dedication to her children has never changed.

Lessons On Motherhood And Imperfection

As someone who has spent years juggling family responsibilities and professional ambitions, Jennifer Garner has developed a realistic outlook on life.

She believes many women place unrealistic expectations on themselves and would benefit from offering themselves more grace.

“You have to raise yourself at the same time,” Garner said.

She followed that thought with advice rooted in self-compassion, noting, “And just be so radically kind to yourself about how imperfect it is.”

The actress also rejected the idea that anyone can perfectly balance every aspect of life.

“There’s no such thing as balance. There’s no such thing as doing it right. And when the big moments happen, you are okay, and that’s on you to know and understand so your child feels your OK-ness,” she said.

For Garner, the years following her divorce may have slowed her career, but they also shaped the perspective she carries today.

Looking back, she seems less focused on what she missed professionally and more appreciative of the time she spent building a foundation for her family.

Now, with her children growing up and new acting opportunities arriving, she is embracing a chapter that allows her to enjoy both worlds.
