In this entertaining comedy, which releases in theaters on July 20, 2018, 10 years after the events of Mamma Mia!, Sophie (played by Amanda Seyfried) is pregnant with her fiancé Sky’s child on the Greek island of Kalokairi while running her mother’s villa. But, Sophie is unsure she can do it all by herself, so she enlists the guidance of her mother Donna’s friends and former bandmates, Tanya and Rosie (played by Christine Baranski and Julie Walters, respectively). Throughout the movie, Sophie learns more about Donna (played by Meryl Streep, with Lily James as Young Donna) and how she met each one of Sophie’s dads (Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgård and Colin Firth) and raised her daughter bravely on her own, without a mother’s guidance. Of course, things are turned upside down by a surprise visit by Sophie’s grandmother, Ruby Sheridan (played by Cher).

Celebrity couple Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long have called it quits after being together for more than two years. A source told UsMagazine.com that this celebrity break-up happened a few weeks ago. The source explained, “They had different schedules and different lives, they just grew apart.” These two will now be making solo appearances. It’s too bad this celebrity relationship didn’t work out. They shared a $1.9 million apartment in New York City.

How can you pump some life back into your relationship?

Cupid’s Advice:

Especially if you’ve been with the same person for quite some time, you can eventually get stuck into a routine with them. It may seem to you like the desire you had for them when you first started dating isn’t there anymore. You’ve lost that spark, or connection. Well, if you want to revive what you deem a dead relationship, check out our advice below.

1. Take a look at yourself: Do you know how you’re contributing to the lull in the relationship? Nobody wants to admit that they’re personally responsible. You may think that it’s much easier to blame someone else. However, before you start playing the blame game, take a look in the mirror.

2. Don’t think about what’s fair: You’ll probably have to practice guiding your partner to a better relationship. It’s unrealistic that it will come naturally. It’s not fair, and it’s going to take some work on your part, but it’s what will save your relationship.

3. Be positive: Too often, we provide our partners with negative reinforcement. Now, it’s time to change that. Be sure to thank your partner for doing the dishes, compliment them, and smile at them. These small gestures will go a long way.

The start of a new year gives everyone a renewed sense of hope, and with this thought in mind, I decided to consider three celebrity couples who are happy in love.

Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long: These lovebirds have become a paparazzi favorite lately. In many photos, the couple appears surprised at their picture being taken. You’ll see their eyebrows and eyes raised and their mouths just a bit open. Note that surprise is one of the seven micro-expressions that people make to indicate an emotion.

In another recent photo, we see the actress leaning towards her man, either for a kiss or to whisper something to him. This behavior shows how comfortable they are with each other. When people feel comfortable, they tend to get even closer into your “personal space bubble.” It’s an easy way to identify if two people are dating or just really close friends.

Related Link: Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long Bond Over Her Dog

As a side note, when flirting, if you’re talking to someone you’re interested in, whisper something every once in a while so the person has to lean in to hear you. It’s a great trick for getting closer and making a move.

Notice Seyfried’s eyes in many photos of the couple. They’re often locked on Justin’s lips; this is what desire looks like. As she gives a slight grin and looks at her man’s wanderlust smile, there is nothing but attraction and lustfully gazing eyes. Likewise, the actor has a very loving smile with deep eye contact, which tells me he is very romantically invested in the blonde beauty.

You can also see the lack of space between them in the photo above and other photos, which indicates a romantic relationship or at least a very close trusting relationship.

Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman: We have something special here: best friends and lovers. They have a dynamic that many couples strive for. You can tell they are truly happy in many of their photos; the facial expression of smiling is categorized as high cheeks, crows feet in the corners of the eyes, and raised outer corners of the lips. Sometimes, this body language is easier to see in photos than in live action. But knowing the difference between a true smile and a fake smile can make the difference between catching someone in a lie or knowng if your partner is truly interested in you.

When people are comfortable with someone, they usually talk with the cup in their hands; put the cup down and continue to use their hands in a conversation; or put the cup to the side of their body. In a picture of Barrymore and Kopelman at a sporting event, we see the actress talking with her cup in her hands, showing us that she’s very comfortable in her husband’s presence. She also leans in towards him, putting her weight on him — another sign of trust and love.

Heidi Klum and Martin Kirsten: You’ll often see this pair walking at the same pace with locked hands or their arms around each other. This body language is considered mirroring each other, and all signs tell you that their relationship is going strong. They are a very real couple; they run together and share that interest. There’s nothing better than an early run and coffee in the morning with your loved one.

Listen up, guys: Real man wear pink or hold their woman’s purse. Yes, Kirsten often holds his girlfriend’s purse, showing us what a gentleman he is. He is confident with himself and their relationship. Plus, it reveals just how close they are as a couple.

Justin Long and Amanda Seyfried bonded over her dog. The new couple, who announced they were dating earlier this month, took her Australian shepherd, Finn, on a walk.  According to UsMagazine.com, the new couple took her dog to a nearby park, where they relaxed on a blanket and let Finn play. “They recently started hanging out more, going on date-like activities. They’re both busy…but they’re seeing where it goes,” said a source.

How do you incorporate pets into your dates?

Cupid’s Advice:

Taking pets on your dates is a cute way to spend time with both your pet and your partner. So what are some dates you can go one with both your partner and your pet? Cupid has some advice for you:

1. Picnic: Going on a picnic is a romantic and classic date.  You can also bring your pet with you.  This is the perfect simple and sweet date for both you, your partner, and your pet.  While you and your partner are enjoying your picnic your pet can be playing with their favorite toy.

2. Hiking: If you and your partner like exercising, hiking is the perfect date for you.  You and your partner will get your exercise in for the day, you get to spend time alone, and you can bring your pet along too.  It’s the perfect date.

3.  The beach: Take your pet and partner to the beach.  You can enjoy the sand and water with your partner and let your pet splash in the waves, fetch frisbees, and roll around in the sand.

According to reports, Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long are now a pair. The two attended an event for Seyfried’s film, Lovelace, on July 30. “Justin came alone and stayed close to Amanda all night,” a source confided to UsMagazine.com. “They weren’t making out or anything like that, but they were just inseparable during the event. He hung out when she talked with others.” On August 10, Long tweeted, “Adjectives don’t do justice to Amanda Seyfried’s fearless + transformative perf in Lovelace.”

How do you keep the status of a new relationship under wraps?

Cupid’s Advice:

Sometimes it’s best to keep your relationship quiet for a while before announcing it to friends and family. But how do you do this without outright lying? Cupid has some ideas:

1. Keep off social media: It’s astonishing how many people fail to understand that when you tweet something or post something on Facebook, everyone can see it. So, make sure to keep your relationship OFF-line.

2. Avoid groups: You and your partner will probably find it difficult to conceal your relationship if you two are hanging out in a group of mutual friends. Doing so will also require active deception which will lead to hurt feelings when you eventually announce your relationship to your social circle.

3. Home dates: Keeping a relationship under wraps doesn’t mean that you have to put romance on hold- you just have to keep such activities away from the public eye. Movie night, romantic dinners, snuggle time and … other activities can (and sometimes should) all take place behind closed doors.

How do you avoid wedding chaos?

Cupid’s Advice:

It seems that wedding chaos is inevitable if your family is the slightest bit dysfunctional. Any wedding malfunctions are common, even if it seems drastic and not normal. To keep the slight malfunctions from turning into complete chaos, you need a leader. A person to put everyone in line, to keep calm and organized. Cupid has some more advice on this:

1. Keep the bride calm: As much as men can say they have equal part involvement as the bride, they’re wrong. Most women have been thinking about their wedding since they were young. They have been checking over the table arrangement, moisture of the cake, songs played at the reception….all since day 1. They know their wedding like the back of the hand, and if a slight problem occurs; the bride must remain calm.

2. Unwanted guests: At some wedding, unwanted guests may arise. Ex-husbands, old friends, abandoned family members; they all could pop in at any moment. With these unwanted guests showing up at your perfect wedding, chaos may loom. The best thing to do here is stay perfectly calm, and have a responsible and unbiased adult exit them out of the venue. No chaos if there are no unwanted guests.

3. Caterer/flowers: Check in with your caterer constantly days before your wedding. Make sure they have the right times, addresses, and menu. Chaos will emerge if there is no food at the wedding. The same thing goes along for flowers. It is necessary to keep in contact with your florist and be aware of what you ordered, how much you ordered, the colors, and anything else essential.

Have you ever been to a wedding resulting in chaos? Share your experience below.

Amanda Seyfried covers the March 2012 Glamour Magazine and is uncensored when it comes to dishing on her personal life.  The actress, who may star as porn actress Linda Lovelace in the upcoming biopic Lovelace,  admits that the next guy she commits to may be the one she decides to have kids with, and if not, there’s always her ex-boyfriend British actor, Dominic Cooper.  “My God, yeah.  He was my last real boyfriend.  We still joke about having kids, like, ‘If it doesn’t work out with other people, we might as well just have a child.’  And there’s a part of that that feels…possible.”

What are the advantages to staying friends with your ex?

Cupid’s Advice:

Who says you can’t be friends after a breakup?  Some people may think  it’s best to forget about your ex, but here a few benefits to staying on good terms with your old flame:

1.  Friends with benefits:  Everyone has their wants, but you can’t get them from everywhere.  Depending on the terms of the split, it may be convenient  for you to get what you want from your ex while looking for something new.  Be careful not to get confused in the process.

2. Don’t burn bridges:  If your relationship ended on good terms, try to keep it that way.  You never know who you may need in the future to talk to when you could use a quick “cheer-me-up.”

3. Patch it up:  Maybe your breakup didn’t end so well.  But, reaching out to your ex may be just what you need to help you move on.  Most of the time, when you receive closure from a past relationship, it makes it a lot easier to be cool with your former love.

Reese Witherspoon and ex-husband Ryan Phillippe could have stumbled across each other this past weekend, reports RadarOnline. Witherspoon, who was married to talent agent Jim Toth on Saturday, had her wedding at her Ojai, California home.  Phillippe and new girlfriend Amanda Seyfried were vacationing at the expensive San Ysidro Ranch near Santa Barbara, a mere 30 minutes from Witherspoon’s home.  Phillippe and Witherspoon share two children together: Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7.  The two finalized their divorce in 2007.

What are ways to tell that your ex is jealous of your new relationship?

Cupid’s Advice:

Even when all seems to be said and done in an ended relationship, it’s possible for leftover feelings to resurface. Here are a few ways to find out if your ex is jealous:

1. He wants to see you: Even if the two of you agreed to be friends after your relationship ended, there’s still a line between being friendly and clingy.  If your ex contacts you more often now that you’re in a new relationship, it may mean that he’s jealous.

2. Ask mutual friends: If you share mutual friends, ask your friends if your ex has been mentioning you more than usual lately, or if your ex seems to be moody.  A bad attitude and a need to bring you into the conversation is a sure way to tell if your ex is jealous.

3. His dating tendencies: If it seems that your ex is taking a long time to move on from your relationship, it may mean that he still has feelings for you.  While your ex just may not be the type to rush into a new relationship, his repeated avoidance of the dating scene may be cause for concern.

After Alexis Knapp who was formally linked to actor, Ryan Phillippe, was spotted leaving a Los Angeles Coffee Bean with an obvious baby bump, rumors began to fly that that she may be carrying the Cruel Intentions star’s child.  According to RadarOnline, Ryan Phillippe’s mom hasn’t heard anything about the prospect of a new grandchild. “If she is pregnant I’m sure it’s not my son’s.  Good luck to her.  I haven’t been made aware of it if it involves him though,” said Susan Phillippe.  Phillippe already has two children with ex-wife, Reese Witherspoon, Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7.  He has most recently been connected to Red Riding Hood star, Amanda Seyfried.

How do you support your partner in the event of an unplanned pregnancy?

Cupid’s Advice:

With the terms “Baby Daddy” and “Baby Mama” going mainstream, unplanned pregnancies are all too common.  In the event that this occurs, it’s important to support your partner both emotionally and financially:

1. Attend Lamaze classes and doctor’s visits together: This is an excellent way to show support for your partner and look after the health of your unborn child.

2. Set money aside: This may be a good time to set money aside for the unborn child’s future needs.  This could be the beginning of a college fund.

3. Talk it out: There are about to be many changes in your life.  Plan them out carefully and communicate fully with your partner.

Red Riding Hood actress Amanda Seyfried has finally confirmed dating rumors circulating around her and actor Ryan Phillippe, reports UsMagazine.com. In the April issue of Elle Magazine, Seyfried discussed both her budding relationship with Phillippe and the end of her relationship with Mamma Mia! costar Dominic Cooper. Seyfried and Cooper split when she found out that Cooper and his previous girlfriend were still together. “I was just kind of foolishly thinking that the two of them were done and Dom and I were involved. But we weren’t really as involved as I thought. So I got my heart broken pretty hard,” says Seyfried.  “And then it took a long time for us to break up again.  After that, it’s really hard to open myself up to a new person.  Really hard.”

How do you trust in love again after being heartbroken?

Cupid’s Advice:

Heartbreak is arguably the hardest thing to deal with, but there are ways to ensure that you move on. Here are a few tips:

1. Visit your family: Spending time with relatives may be the first step you need to take in order to cure heartbreak. Family almost always has the ability to brighten your day.

2. Spend time with friends: Even if you don’t re-enter the dating world, going out with friends can help ease you back into a more social lifestyle.

3. Take it slow: If you get an anxious feeling when you think about being in a relationship, then you probably aren’t ready.  Give yourself some time, and eventually you will feel confident enough to put yourself out there again.

After much talk of their romance dying out, Amanda Seyfried and Ryan Phillippe seem to be working things out. According to People, the two were seen at the Grey Goose Pre-Oscar bash at L.A.’s Soho House. Although the two were definitely together, Seyfried did seem a bit uneasy, a source says. Although it seems the two are back and forth, “When it’s good, they’re really good together.”

When is your relationship good enough?Cupid’s Advice:

Every relationship is different, and each couple has its ups and downs. Sometimes, it’s difficult to assess the condition of your connection. Cupid has some tips to help you figure out when your relationship is good enough:

1. You are genuinely happy: Although there are always hard times, the good times should outnumber the bad.

2. It doesn’t feel like work: Sometimes we get so caught up that our relationships begin to feel like chores. When it starts to feel like a second job, you may want to begin to start rethinking things.

3. You don’t constantly need reassurance: If you feel like you need to be constantly convinced to stay in your relationship, it may not be good enough.

While most thought Ryan Phillippe and Amanda Seyfried were destined to become serious, it turns out it was just a fling.  A friend told UsMagazine.com that the duo are just friends who are going on dates sometimes.  “At one point, there was a chance it would develop into something more serious, but it never did.  There’s no commitment,” Phillippe’s friend said.  Aside from this, Phillippe was caught hitting on Rihanna Saturday; she kindly turned him down, a witness reports.  The actor seemed undisturbed, leaving a house party later that night with a brunette.

Does dating around make you a player?

Cupid’s Advice:

There’s a fine line between dating around and being a player.  Cupid has a few ways to tell the difference:

1. Strength in numbers isn’t always a good thing: When trying to identify a player, think of Barney Stinson from the show “How I Met Your Mother.” Stinson is the textbook definition of a player due to the number of partners he attempts to hook up with on a regular basis.

2. Being single means taking time for you: It’s okay from time to time to flirt and meet a few attractive members of the opposite sex, but trying too hard all the time makes you a player. Just because you’re single, doesn’t mean you always have to look for a new partner. Let it happen naturally.

3. Trust your gut: If you’re picking up signals that indicate he/she is leading you on, then trust yourself and ditch them. The best way to stop a player is by simply avoiding them.

Ryan Phillippe and Amanda Seyfried have been spotted together again, People reports.  The pair were first seen at Kate Hudson’s Halloween bash in October.  Now it appears the duo have gotten more serious about their relationship and have taken it public, eating breakfast together at Los Angeles’s Joan’s On Third.  Phillippe also stopped by the set of Seyfried’s new movie, Now, where the two took a walk together during a break in filming.What are casual type dates to go on at the beginning of a relationship?

Cupid’s Advice:

The great thing about starting a new relationship are all of the fun, quirky dates that come along with it.  Low-key, zero stress and an opportunity to get to know a potential partner better; it’s a win-win:

1. Outdoor fun: When you first start to see someone, sometimes getting outside in an open environment can be less stressful than sitting inside a stuffy movie theater.  Spend some time in a local state park and go hiking for an afternoon.

2. Hit the lanes: There’s a good chance neither of you have picked up a bowling ball in quite a few years.  Spend a Saturday afternoon alongside some young families laughing over the fact that you’ve been bowling more gutter balls than strikes.

3. Movie madness: If you clicked over the same love for a TV series or movie genere, hit up Netflix and spend a weekend afternoon with a movie marathon.  Or play it old school and do a movie run to your nearest Blockbuster, making sure to pick up your favorite munchies on the way.

In the middle of a seemingly endless parade of celebrity breakups, it’s nice to hear some good news for a change! Us Weekly reports that a new couple may be in the works — apparently sparks were flying between Amanda Seyfried and Ryan Phillippe over the weekend.  The two were reportedly spotted getting cozy at not one, but two Halloween parties!  Seyfried, 24, and Phillippe, 36, chatted at Kate Hudson’s annual Halloween soiree and at a party hosted by CAA’s Todd Feldman in Beverly Hills.  According to a witness at Hudson’s bash, Seyfried, who wore a dog costume, was acting “flirty” all night.  “She was listening to [Phillippe] and talking close but no making out…  She seemed intrigued by him.”  Phillippe, who was dressed as Star Wars character Obi-Wan Kenobi, was in “a good mood.  He looked cute and was smiling a lot.”  Although the two actors have yet to comment on their relationship status, when x17 recently asked Seyfried if they were a couple, she coyly answered, “You never know.”

How can you tell if someone’s interested in you?

Cupid’s Advice:

1. Watch his body language: When you first meet him, if he keeps his body turned towards you, leans forward and maintains eye contact, he’s interested and probably wants to see you again.

2. He likes what you like: By showing interest in what you like and do, he’s trying to establish common ground.  If he suggests going to a concert of a band you like or playing your favorite sport together, he definitely wants to get to know you better.

3. He stays in contact: We’ve all been there: you hit it off with a great guy and then never hear from him again.  If he really wants to continue the relationship past the first date, he will get in touch with you somehow, whether through a phone call, text, IM, or Facebook message.

Last May, Perez Hilton online reported that Amanda Seyfried (Letters to Juliet) and Dominic Cooper (who co-starred with Seyfried in Mamma Mia!) were taking a break after Cooper did some major partying Lindsay Lohan.  Now, it seems that they are at least casually, dating again.

What causes couples to take ‘breaks’ in their relationships?

Cupid’s Advice:

Relationships tend falter after a certain point, but when you ask the two involved, both have trouble indicating one thing: why.  Cupid has some reasons why, as well as tips to help break the cycle:

1. Lack of maturity: Neither party is ready to handle the immense responsibility of commitment.  Rethink where you want your relationship to go, and take it from there.

2. Fear of change: Things seem to be going great without a label – why shake things up? If you think this anxiety is holding you back, sit down and communicate your feelings.  This may be something the other person is struggling with as well.

3. Baggage: Regardless of how “over” it either of you may be about prior relationships, past baggage can sometimes resurface and get in the way.  To remove your previous hang-ups, be open with your partner.  Working through your concerns can make your bond stronger.
