Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are in newlywed bliss, but Patti Stanger believes that their marriage is for the long run, reports People. The two tied the knot in Italy last week in a ceremony that was just as hush-hush as their whole relationship has been. Stanger theorizes that the two are in it for life according to three things. First of all, their respective ages put them in their thirties which make them more mature and emotionally developed than younger couples. Timberlake and Biel have been linked since 2007 so they are no stranger to one another. Another aspect of their relationship that makes it long lasting is their need for privacy. The couple does not show off their relationship for the whole world to see. The two also have loads of respect for one another, which is one of the single most important factors in a marriage. Timberlake revealed, “In my 30 years, she is the most special person, okay? … I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me — for instance, her.” That single quote along shows the deep connection that the two share.
Love and relationship expert Patti Stanger is doling out some love advice yet again, this time related to new couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. Only romantically linked since April, the celebrity duo met on the set of That 70’s Show more than 14 years ago, according to People. Although Stanger is not picking Kunis over Kutcher’s ex, Demi Moore, she loves this new relationship development because it gives her a chance to discuss how to spark a new love after touching base with someone from your past. One piece of advice she gives it to set yourself up now for a romance in the future. She advises not to dwell on relationships that aren’t ready to happen as of yet and to continue meeting new people and trying new things. According to Stanger, space and experience are key.
What are some ways to reconnect with an ex or crush after much time has passed?
Relationship expert, Patti Stanger recently revealed some tips on how to make up after a break up, especially if infidelity is involved, according to People. Focusing on the recent breakup and cheating scandal of Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Stanger shares three tips on how to move forward in a relationship. First, you have to ignore your heart and trust what your brain is telling you. The second step is to get comfortable again. You will have to renegotiate boundaries and sort out what makes the two of you comfortable around each other once more. Once you are comfortable, you will be able to start to trust one another again. The Millionaire Matchmaker’s third and final step is to talk to an expert — a therapist that both partners trust. An unbiased third party will help to reconcile any issues that the couple may have.

Patti Stanger might be the Millionaire Matchmaker, but she never seemed to be able to find a partner for herself. However, she hopes that’s all about to change. A source to Celebuzzsays that Stanger believes finding her birth parents will let her find the closure she needs. “She believes it has blocked her from meeting her mate,” the source said. The whole experience will be captured by reality TV cameras, letting the world follow along with her.

BRAVO’s The Millionaire Matchmaker 4, Tuesday January 4 — This week Patti deals with one very superficial client and another client with serious commitment issues. Robin, a successful woman in her 30’s has very specific physical requests (Hello Mathew McConaughey!) but Patti isn’t afraid to call her out on trying to snag a guy out of her league. John, on the other hand, is looking for a real relationship but will have to move out of his comfort zone and face his commitment issues head on. Will Patti straighten these two out and find them love or will their on-going issues cause more matchmaking drama?
Just because you are a millionaire, it doesn’t mean you know how to use that money to dress right. Patti brings in the big guns, her favorite image consultant to help her client Matt look the part of a successful and interesting man as opposed to quirky and uptight. Also struggling with appropriate style, Patti’s millionairess of the week Elena, doesn’t mind showing a little (or rather, a LOT) of skin. Will Matt and Elena agree to play by Patti’s rules and attract the right kind of date or will the two clients stick with the looks that have failed them in the past?

Will Patti be able to find a suitable man for Judith or will her attraction to gay funny men keep her from finding an appropriate mate? Patti’s second millionairess of the week has been so work-focused all her life that she hasn’t given herself a chance to find true love.
