By Emily Green

In the latest celebrity news, Gwyneth Paltrow opened up about why she and her husband Brad Falchuk do not live together full time, according to UsMagazine.com. This celebrity couple was married in September of 2018, and each have two children from previous marriages. Due to worrying how their children will adapt, Falchuk has a separate home he stays in when his children come to stay with him.

This celebrity couple doesn’t live together full-time due to reasons pertaining to their kids. What are some ways to introduce the kids you had with your ex to your new love?

Cupid’s Advice:

Introducing your children from a previous relationship to your new partner is not only a big step in your relationship, but a big adjustment for your children. By focusing on your children and how they feel, you can help ensure a smooth transition into this new period in your lives. Here are some of Cupid’s tips to introduce your kids to your new partner:

1. Introduce them in a group setting: By introducing your kids to your new partner in a group setting like a barbecue or at the park, this creates a no pressure atmosphere with your kids, so they don’t have to worry about making a amazing first impression and vice versa. By meeting them in public group settings the first few times, this gives the kids more time to become acquainted with who your partner is, and will feel more comfortable down the line.

2. Go slowly: While you might be completely in love with your new partner, remember this is a totally new situation for your children. Watch how they interact with your new partner, and pay attention to their social cues. If they are having a problem with something, talk to them so you can work through it, and then you can move forward.

3. Go in with no expectations: People can’t be forced to like one another. By telling your kids they need to be on their best behavior can plant that seed of worry, and immediately puts pressure on the meeting. Simply ask them to go in with an open mind, and they can form their own opinions to share with you after they get to know them.

Food Trend: Seasonal Foods to Bring Spring Cleaning to Your Body

By Rachel Sparks

Spring means open windows, light breezes, knocking out the dust from every corner, and of course, getting ready for the dream beach body workout. Why limit spring cleaning to just your house? Your body has all of that sugar and fat leftover from decadent holiday foods, and the cold weather of winter made it pretty hard to keep up with your workout routine. Try these four easy food trends to cleanse your body and gear up for summer.

These seasonal food trends will bring spring cleaning to your body!


1. Green smoothies: Smoothies have been all the rage for celebrity diets for a long time now. If you have yet to jump on board with this liquid diet, you should really consider doing it now. Smoothies are an easy way to start your morning with lots of energy, but make sure you’re looking up healthy recipes. Anything with berries, especially blueberries, and dark leafy greens cleanse your body, provide important antioxidants for repair, and give you a boost of energy. Gwyneth Paltrow, one of the healthiest foodies in the celebrity world, is all about juice diets!

2. Turmeric: This is a classic Indian trick that many people haven’t quite accepted yet. Turmeric is that yellow stuff you see in a lot of curries (although distinct from yellow curry). Curcumin, the compound in turmeric that makes it yellow, helps with digestive disorders, liver issues, and inflammation. It’s great for anyone with IBS or arthritis as a natural supplement, and that’s in addition to the cleansing it does! Even Beyonce has used this detox to drop weight!

3. Green Tea detox: Did you know one cup of green tea has more caffeine than a cup of coffee? The powers of green tea have been the latest rave, but for good reason. The chemical that makes green tea green, polyphenols, help rid the body of harmful chemicals. Studies have shown a cup of green tea a day helps reduce the risk of certain cancers, improves memory, and reduces belly fat. Maybe it’s time to add green tea to the “apple a day” philosophy!

4. Lemon water: Lemon water is not being taken advantage of. If you’re not starting your morning with a cup of lemon water (hot or cold) then you haven’t felt utterly rejuvenated yet. Lemons contain antibacterial properties that purifies the blood and balances the pH of your colon. Nobody likes talking about the colon, but it really is quite dirty. Clean it up every once in awhile for much cleaner, easier, and healthier internal processing.

Celebrity News: Harvey Weinstein Lied About Having Intimate Relations with Gwyneth Paltrow

By Rachel Sparks

Harvey Weinstein’s name has become a household warning. There’s yet more celebrity news on Weinstein’s decades long scandals. According to EOnline.com and The New York Times, Gwyneth Paltrow published a staggeringly long list of cover-ups and lies throughout Weinstein’s career. One major lie Weinstein told was that Paltrow had consented to have sex with him in order to advance her career. Paltrow’s name and Weinstein’s lie was used as a weapon against other actresses in order for them to say “yes” to his advances.

This celebrity news has us cringing. What are some ways to ward off unwanted advances?


Cupid’s Advice:

We all at some point will be in a position where we are made uncomfortable by unwanted advances. Male or female, someone with power can abuse their position to negotiate with you something you don’t want to do. Cupid has relationship advice to help you when you’re in these situations:

1. Call them out: Use your best judgement. Sometimes, calling out a person on their advances is exactly what it takes to end it. If a person thinks they can get away with something because they don’t think you’ll speak up, prove them wrong. Sometimes, though, the person making the advances is too aggressive and calling them out will anger them. Again, use your best judgement, but don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself.

2. Tell them to leave you alone, in no uncertain terms: If you firmly say you want nothing more, sometimes the person coming onto you will stop. If you say this in front of a group, the other people can hold the advancer accountable for their actions. But be careful, doing this makes it much more uncomfortable being alone with that person, so avoid alone time at all costs.

3. Report the behavior: If you’ve asked the person to stop and they haven’t, told them to stop and they won’t, called them out and they don’t care, it’s time to report this behavior. Telling an authority figure will likely mean someone steps in and protects you. There may be backlash, so don’t be alone with that person. Stay strong.

Celebrity Chef Recipes to Help You Eat Healthy This Year

By Rachel Sparks

Winter blues are on their way out, but some of that extra insulation you may have packed on over the holidays is still sticking around. We fully believe in your ability to accomplish your New Year’s resolutions, so we’re going to help you with those health goals. These celebrity chef recipes are the perfect inspiration to help you feeling clean and energized. Plus, they’re the needed accompaniment to your fitness plan.

These celebrity chef recipes make eating healthy seem glamorous!

You may not be the next Gwyneth Paltrow in the kitchen, but these celebrity chef recipes are great references to get you started on a sustainable food journey. Healthy food doesn’t mean a bland experience. These recipes will make you feel like you’ll be ready to deck out in celebrity style:

1. Tom Colicchio’s Roasted Chicken: The majority of us enjoy chicken as a regular staple for our families. Chicken is a great choice of protein while you’re trying to be healthy; be conscious of how you choose to cook the meat. Frying, of course, is not the cleanest option. Roasting in the oven is not only healthier for you, but it’s easy and delicious. Brown the skin on the stove top for extra flavor, or keep the oven on low for a juicy bite with a crisp skin. You won’t want to use any other method for cooking chicken again.

2. Jason Franey’s Mustard-Glazed Black Cod:  Fish is a clean and delightful alternative to traditional animal proteins. Don’t be afraid to add variety to your meals. Fish contains healthy and happy minerals, such as Omega-3, which fights heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, and anxiety. Fish cooks for less time, so it’s a healthy and quick option when you forgot to set meat out to thaw. Try sautéing, grilling, roasting, or steaming for healthy and easy ways to cook fish.

3. Leah Chase’s Gumbo z’HerbesWe’re throwing it back to the Meatless Monday trend, and there’s a reason. Cutting meat out for a meal helps cleanse the body and gives you more energy for endurance-heavy workouts. The plus side: this Louisiana classic is a real treat. The heat from the cayenne and paprika create a pleasant warm feeling and the slow-cooked greens are the savory staple of the South. With all this flavor you won’t even know it doesn’t have meat. The secret to good ole’ Southern cooking: low and slow. This is definitely a recipe to add to your crockpot repertoire.

4. Herby Barley Salad with Butter Basted Mushrooms: Don’t be fooled by the words salad and mushrooms. This is a delicious and protein-packed lunch. We love starches, but they don’t love us. Try switching out standard carbs like rice with protein-heavy alternatives, such as quinoa, barley, or oats.

5. Jonathon Brooks Ramen: Forget the old cup of noodles. Authentic ramen is packed with nutrients. The combination of the capsaicin from chiles, the zing of brightness from limes, cilantro, and stock feel like the cure for any illness. It’s the perfect way to start a day when you feel down or the best way to end a day of too much fun. It really is one of the best ways to fill yourself with the most nutrients.

Fitness Trend: Wearable Technology

By Noelle Downey

With warm weather here it’s time to party on the beach and play in the surf and sand. But what if you’re feeling like your beach body isn’t quite bikini-ready? There’s a new fitness trend that could help you get outdoors for a sensational summertime in the sun and motivate you to start sculpting some killer abs too. With stars like Ryan Reynolds and Gwyneth Paltrow jumping on the bandwagon, it’s official, the newest celebrity trend when it comes to fitness is wearable technology. From Fit Bit to Garmin, this trend is everywhere, and we here at Cupid’s Pulse have the the top five celebrity-approved ways to catch up on this trendy tech breakthrough for summer fitness fun.

Looking for a great way to stay fit and fab this summer? Check out these awesome pieces of tech to stay on the fitness trend and on track to a red-carpet worthy body this summer!

1. Flaunt your abs with Fitbit: While Fitbit is far from the only good option out there when it comes to wearable tech, it’s definitely one of the most popular in the mainstream fitness world, probably partly because of the variety of models available. Tons of stars have been spotted with this handy piece of tech on their wrist as they work out. Britney Spears gets in some steps with an eye-catching pink Fitbit to match her workout ensemble, while Ryan Reynolds works on his killer abs with the Fitbit Flex, and Kelly Ripa struts her stuff with a Fitbit of her own tracking her every move toward a red-carpet worthy figure. Even former president Barack Obama has been spotted with a Fitbit Surge on his wrist during his daily runs. Whatever model you choose, this piece of tech wonder will do everything from track your steps and heart rate to monitor your sleep, with some models even synching directly to your smart phone to store and compare the data.

2.  Push to the limit with the Pebble SmartWatch: If you’re looking for something a little less mainstream and slightly more upscale, try the Pebble SmartWatch for a fitness tracker that looks like a fashion statement in the form of a swanky watch. TV talk show host and comedian Stephen Colbert has been spotted multiple times with this great piece of wearable tech on his wrist. If you’re looking for something that doesn’t necessarily proclaim, “I’m working out right now,” but you’re still interested in tracking your fitness data, try Pebble SmartWatch, which tracks your calories burned and distance covered and gives you personalized fitness encouragements when you need them. All of this is caught up in a sleek, celebrity style design that looks fashionable and stellar, and if you’re not busy hitting the gym, you can discreetly set it to display the time and still get compliments on your gorgeous accessory.

3. Burn calories with the Nike + FuelbandIf you’re looking for something a little more simple that’s still celebrity-approved, try the Nike + Fuelband, a simple band around your wrist that tracks calories burned and steps taken while allowing you to set daily goals for yourself on a single simple screen. This chunky and funky band certainly isn’t as sleek as some of it’s competitors, but it also does exactly what it needs to do to help you set a better fitness schedule, without all the fuss of a more high-tech gadget. And it certainly has a great celebrity endorsement from Serena Williams, who’s been spotted on the court during many of her victorious championship tennis games with this trendy fitness gadget on her wrist.

4. Take a step forward with Jawbone UP: If you’re not feeling Fitbit but want a combination of Fitbits variety of models and the sleekness of the Pebble SmartWatch, look no further than Jawbone UP, which offers four different models with a variety of abilities, from the basic model that provides a smart coach, activity tracking, calories burned, and sleep tracking to the more advanced models that provide all of this as well as automatic sleep detection and data on heart health. This sleek and shiny band offers choices to those who decide to purchase from this brand, as well as a variety of colors and styles. Famous actress and health guru Gwyneth Paltrow has been seen wearing the Jawbone UP on many occasions! See if the Jawbone UP could be for you too!

Garmin may not feature the fanciest models on the market when it comes to wearable tech, but it’s also one of the most affordable, and you get a fairly good bang for your buck when it comes to using this handy fitness tool. Just like Richard Branson, you can strap this on and learn about your sleep and steps with one of their colorful and water-resistant models, or you can spring for one of the newer releases and get all day stress monitoring, rep counting, and more!

Have you ever used any wearable tech when it comes to fitness? What do you think of this trend? Will you be springing for one of these fitness tools soon? Let us know in the comments!




Celebrity Style: Which Celeb Body Do You Most Resemble?

By Rayne Parvis

Do you wish you had the secret to looking your best in your clothes like your neighbor, friend or iconic movie star? Knowing what styles work for your body shape is essential to getting the best overall appearance. When you look at your favorite character from television or a movie, notice how they wear the same few silhouettes. This is because their glam celebrity style squad knows what to buy so they’ll always look their best.

Find the celebrity your body most resembles and get stylin’!

Drew Barrymore, Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Hudson: You’re wider on top than the bottom and are considered to have an apple body type. You most likely have a full bust and slender legs. Create a balance by wearing more subdued darker patterns and colors on top–and brighter hues and textures on the bottom. This balances out your shape. V-necks are your friend too!

Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson: You have wider hips, narrow shoulders, smaller bust and are bigger on the bottom. Your body type can be described as pear shape. Create a balance in your shape by wearing your brighter patterns and colors up top. Minimize your bottom half with darker colors and simple bottoms.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman and Keira Knightly: You have an overall thin frame with an undefined waist, little curves like a rectangle. You can indulge in most necklines and can create the appearance of a curvier figure with full circle, trumpet and flared skirts and feminine tops that cinch at your waistline creating a hourglass shape.

Marilyn Monroe, Kim Kardashian and Christina Hendricks: You have a defined waist and your hips and bust are noticeably wider imitating an hourglass shape. Emphasizing your waist is key! Make a friend with a tailor. Most of your wardrobe will need to be taken in at the waist. Wrap dress and styles that have a built in waist will pair well with your body type.

Oprah and Melissa McCarthy ladies are considered extra curvy in addition to one of the shapes above. Always create a waist and go for v-neck necklines. You can create an illusion of a smaller waist with belts– or buying styles that already have a seam that makes one for you–like A wrap or body seamed sheath dresses.

The common goal for all body types is to create and enhance your waist like the sex symbols of the 1950’s. You can implement these simple tips to feel fab at any size.

By Stephanie Sacco

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have reunited, at least for the moment. According to UsMagazine.com, Paltrow posted a selfie of the celebrity exes in Disneyland. In celebrity news, their daughter Apple turned 12, and the pair spent the big day at the happiest place on earth. This former celebrity couple is stronger now more than ever. Paltrow says, “I think we are better as friends than we were [married]. We are very close and supportive of one another.” Paltrow proves that you can be friends with your ex and still be a family.

This former celebrity couple is keeping a relationship for the kids. What are some ways to keep things civil with your ex for the sake of your children?

Cupid’s Advice:

It’s crucial after a divorce that your kids don’t think it’s their fault. If a relationship fails, you have to think of them first and if getting along with your ex is what it takes, then so be it. Cupid is here with some relationship advice:

1. Stay positive: Don’t spend too much time with your ex if you can help it, but when you do, make sure to keep the mood light. Don’t discuss bills or your past in front of the children. Always think of them first before you open your mouth.

2. Stay alert: If you feel yourself getting into angry territory with your ex, remember it’s only a temporary visit. Laugh it off when you feel yourself start to slip. Look to your kids if you get desperate; they’ll remind you who you’re fighting for.

3. Stay together: Be a team when it matters most. Try to make decisions as a unit and if you can’t, at least compromise. Find a balance so neither of you has the upper hand. Be aware of the volume of your voices when you’re around your child.

She even wrote a wage inequality essay that all women can relate to! The JOY star has also maintained the right amount of publicity when it comes to her intimate celebrity relationships. She doesn’t hide anything, but doesn’t publicize everything either. There was also a revealing leaked photo incident, which she handled like the class act that she is!

The pair are a great example on how to stay cordial and friendly with one another after separating, for the sake of their children. They still have a good friendship.

Former Celebrity Couple Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin Spend Thanksgiving Together

By Katie Gray

In latest celebrity news, former celebrity couple, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay front man Chris Martin, spent Thanksgiving together with their celebrity babies. They went through a celebrity divorce and have a tumultuous history, but they remain a united front for the children’s sake. According to UsMagazine.com, Paltrow had stated on her Goop website after the separation that they were going to remain close as parents, but simply “consciously uncouple.”

This former celebrity couple is doing what’s best for the kids. What are some ways to remain civil with your ex for your children?

Cupid’s Advice:

It’s important to always take the high road in life and to remember to stay positive. After you have split from your partner via separation or divorce, it can be very hard for you to be around your ex. It’s crucial that you remain civil if there are children involved. Cupid has some tips:

1. Talk it out: Even though you are no longer together, you are still connected to each other because of your children for life, so you must get it together. It’s good to talk to your ex about every aspect concerning the children’s lives to make sure you are on the same page and know what’s going on!

2. Showcase mature behavior: Divorces and separations are always hardest on the kids. When interacting with your ex, make sure that you put up a happy front for their sake(s). Don’t argue or say anything passive aggressive. If the children see tension, then it will make them feel like they did something wrong, and they shouldn’t be in a position where they feel pressured to pick sides.

3. Watch what you say: When talking to your relatives or friends, make sure your children can’t hear when you are discussing their mother/father. If you are going to talk about your ex, do it when they are not around, or make sure they can’t decipher who you are talking about. Remember, say what you mean – just don’t say it mean.

6 Celebrity Break-Ups That Shocked Everyone

By Molly Jacob

Breakups can be hard, but they get even more difficult when they’re in the spotlight. While we know that Hollywood couples, with the pressures that come from being famous, often don’t last long, it’s still hard on fans when their favorite celebrity couple goes through a celebrity break-up.

See what celebrity break-ups shocked everyone, including us at Cupid’s Pulse!

1. Heidi Klum and Seal:

Heidi Klum and Seal seemed to be one of those Hollywood couples who had it all. That’s why we were especially shocked in April 2012 when Klum filed for divorce after six years of marriage. But we’re happy to hear, according to TMZ, that the celebs’ divorce was a “clean break” with no fights over money or custody of their four kids.

2. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon:

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon seemed to be deeply in love during their six years of marriage. But this celebrity couple fell apart when Cannon filed for divorce this past January. This celebrity breakup was in the spotlight this spring when Carey released her new song, “Infinity,” which throws some jabs at Cannon. Next time you’re thinking of getting tattoo for your significant other, think about this: Cannon had to cover up his “Mariah” tattoo with a larger tattoo last October.

3. Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt:

We were heartbroken when this celebrity couple split up in 2005. Whether you were Team Aniston or Team Jolie during the publicized celebrity breakup, Aniston and Pitt seemed to have had the perfect relationship. But don’t spend too much time worrying about this heartbreaking split – Aniston told US Magazine last January, “I don’t find it painful.”

4. Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins:

Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins appeared to be the classic, enduring Hollywood couple – until they announced their breakup in 2009. While the celeb couple never got married, they were together for over 20 years and had two sons. The two met in 1988 while shooting the film Bull Durham and immediately clicked. Although there were rumors that they broke up because Robbins had an affair with Meg Ryan, Sarandon said a major reason for the split was a reexamination of her life after performing in the Broadway show, Exit the King.

5. Robin Thicke and Paul Patton:

Thicke made the headlines in the last couple of years with his catchy and controversial song, “Blurred Lines” and also his breakup with his teenage sweetheart, Paula Patton. In February 24, the celebrity couple announced their marriage was over, but it seemed like Thicke wanted Paul back more than she wanted him. This was pretty evident after he released his tribute to his ex-wife, the 2014 album title Paula.

6. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin:

Coldplay and Shakespeare in Love fans alike were shocked when Paltrow announced on her blog, Goop, that the Hollywood couple would be splitting. After being married for 11 years and having two children, the duo’s bond seemed unbreakable. Their divorce seemed amicable, with Paltrow using the vague term “conscious uncoupling” to describe their breakup.

Celebrity Dating Rumors: Gwyneth Paltrow Is Dating ‘Glee’ Co-Creator Ben Falchuk

By Shannon Seibert

According to celebrity dating rumors, romance has once again struck on the set of Glee! Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Falchuk were spotted on a flirty dinner date at East Borough in L.A., according to UsMagazine.com. Paltrow has made five guest appearances on the co-creator’s show as Holly Holliday since 2010. Following her celebrity divorce from Chris Martin in March, Paltrow’s relationship with Falchuk has progressed from professional to personal over recent months. Falchuk has also recently split from his ex-wife Suzanne of 10 years. Both the actress and the producer share children with their celebrity exes and are seemingly close to their former partners. We’re excited to see what Cupid has in store for the new celebrity couple!

Rumor has it that Paltrow is already part of a new celebrity couple. How do you know when you’re ready to move on after a split?

Cupid’s Advice:

Moving on can sometimes feel like you’re climbing a never-ending mountain, but then one day, you finally reach the top, and you realize the view isn’t half bad. When you feel that you have closure from your past relationship, the next step is moving forward. If you’re wondering whether or not you’re up to starting something new, consider these three pieces of love advice:

1. You physically feel better: Sometimes, emotional pain transitions into physical pain. There seems to be a never-ending pit in your stomach that leaves you feeling nauseous. When you’ve let go of past emotions and memories and accept that he isn’t coming back, you feel lighter. The songs on the radio don’t “speak” to you anymore; you aren’t avoiding certain places you went together; and you find yourself forgetting to think about him from time to time. This weight that lifts is a sign that you don’t have to be held back anymore. Paltrow has been able to let go of past grievances after her celebrity divorce, and they’ve even remained close friends. There is nothing keeping you in the past, so you can create your own future.

2. You’ve thought about dating again: When you’re ready to move on, thoughts of dating cross your mind more frequently, and they usually aren’t about your past significant others. Finding new men to reach out to can help stimulate the healing process and allow you to consider new avenues for finding love. Celebrity couple Paltrow and Falchuk both waited until the right moment to be together.

3. You’ve had complete closure: Closure is hard to come by, but when you finally have it, everything feels at peace. Though the truth about why things ended may hurt, it also allows you to feel more in tune to your senses. There won’t be any more “what ifs” nagging at your mind before you go to sleep each night. You won’t be analyzing everything that went wrong, and you’ll be able to just have the memories of everything you did right. Use your past relationships and love to help you in the future.

Chris Martin Says He’s ‘Friends’ With Estranged Wife Gwyneth Paltrow

By Sanetra Richards

The love is still there for Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. According to UsMagazine.com, the estranged spouses have remained friends, despite the announcement of their split back in March. The Coldplay frontman talked about the relationship between him and his spouse during an interview with Ryan Seacrest on Thursday, July 31st. “I’m not the best interviewee on this kind of thing,” Martin said when asked by the 102.7 KIIS FM host how him and Paltrow are able to remain friends during their separation. “But we’re friends and proud parents. There’s lots of love, and that’s it,” he added.

What are some ways to remain friends with your ex post-breakup?

Cupid’s Advice:

When you think of an ex, you don’t always think of the possibility of being cordial with each other, let alone friends. Matter of fact, the first thing that may come to mind is despising one another. Despite the pages of history, whether good or bad, there is a way to actually become friends. Cupid has some advice to get you and your ex to that point:

1. Find your way to good terms: Communicate thoroughly with your ex-partner to gain a full understanding on why the relationship ended. If there is no chance of reconciling, at least you will be able to avoid a ton of confusion later down the road when you all are working on rebuilding your friendship.

2. Control your emotions: Avoid harboring those ill feelings. They can lead to even more major problems between you and your ex. Do not expect to any progress if you are a carrying a load or two of baggage from the past. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as it sounds and will take some time to adjust. What’s most important is that you give it a try.

3. Move on: If you are able to do exactly this, your post-breakup friendship has the possibility of flourishing. The two of you are no longer concerned about what the other is doing, per se. You have turned the page and started a new chapter. Embrace it. Go out for lunch like regular friends would do (as strange as that may seem).
