Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. This week: a celebrity couple makes out next to a private plane, an actress does something weird to her shoes, and Paris Hilton gets married.
It has been six months since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reunited, and they are apparently still very much in love. Here is a photo of them saying goodbye to each other on the tarmac in Los Angeles before Lopez boarded a private plane on Sunday:
Cute. Of course, since Affleck was involved, there was also some of this:
According to People, Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, are simply obsessed with each other and hate to be apart, which is difficult because Lopez is currently filming a movie in Vancouver and Affleck is filming one in Austin. “They still have intense work schedules, but are finding time for each other whenever they can,” a source told the tabloid. “Several times, Jennifer flew to Austin for only a few hours before she had to return to filming in Vancouver.”
For the sake of the environment, I hope their next projects are located in the same city. Or perhaps they could decide that they have enough money and take a few months off to get married, which is what everyone wants.
J.Lo and Affleck “are making many plans and looking forward to their future together,” another source told E! News this week. “Spending time in different cities during the week has made them miss each other like crazy and fall even more in love.”
So: a Christmastime proposal? Feel free to place your bets in the comments.
Interestingly enough, Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner may beat Bennifer down the aisle. Last week, Garner, 49, “sparked engagement rumors” by wearing a diamond ring during an Instagram Live with Judy Greer. That’ll do it.
Garner’s biggest romantic cheerleader, Us Weekly, capitalized on the rumors by reminding everyone that Garner is currently dating a man named John Miller, who is the CEO of a robotic burger company. If Garner is, in fact, engaged, it’s probably to him. Per an Us Weekly source, Garner and Miller are “totally set on a long-term future together.”
Garner and Miller have been dating on and off since 2018, though they are rarely photographed together and have never acknowledged each other in the press. If they do plan to get married, I expect their wedding will be small and basically invisible to the public. Luckily, we know whatever Bennifer will do to celebrate their love will be the opposite.
Blake Lively — who may or may not have had an affair with Affleck while shooting The Town in 2009 — is always doing something weird with shoes. Have you noticed? This week, during what I assume was a paid appearance at a British Airways event at the Empire State Building, she wore red Manolo Blahnik “Hangisi” pumps, which retail for $995. In a needlessly self-deprecating Instagram story, she revealed that she defaced said pumps by “painting the white jewels with red nail polish while walking out the door.” What? Why?
This of course reminded me of the time Lively posted another photo on Instagram in which she drew high-heeled shoes on her bare feet. I didn’t get that either. If you have any theories as to why Lively has to be cRaZy about her footwear, please share them.
Lively’s ex-boyfriend Leo DiCaprio was in the news this week after Jeff Bezos’s girlfriend Lauren Sanchez made eyes at him at the LACMA Art + Film gala. The video of the incident was mildly funny; Bezos’s response was, naturally, not.
But all this begs the question: Is DiCaprio still totally into his 24-year-old model girlfriend Camila Morrone? E! News says yes, thank God. “They are really solid and everything is great with Leo and Cami,” a source told the gossip outlet. “It's all status quo.”
Also: “Leo has even been showing more affection to Cami when they're out. They look very happy and relaxed together.”
That’s just what I wanted to hear, thank you E!.
STUFF BY HILARY DUFF: This week, Hilary Duff took her baby daughter to get her ears pierced, and she does not care what you have to say about it.
Finally, I’ll leave you with the news that Paris Hilton, 40, is a married woman now:
She wed a man named Carter Reum, also 40, at the Hilton family’s Bel-Air estate last night. So far we know that some other celebrities were there, including Emma Roberts, Bebe Rexha, and Paula Abdul. I haven’t sought out any information whatsoever about Reum, but I’m sure he’s great and Hilton will live happily with him forever.

Hi ! Sorry to bother you but I have gifted a paid subscription to a friend at the end of August and she has not received any additional email since, is this normal ? I understand if you have a busy end of the year but no communication has been made about it ! Love the Gossip Time one but it would be nice to have some visibility about the rest. Thank you !!
