John Stamos Reveals Heartbreak: The Divorce He Never Wanted New

John Stamos Reveals Heartbreak: The Divorce He Never Wanted

John Stamos is opening up about his painful divorce from ex-wife Rebecca Romijn. The Full House actor, 62, began dating Romijn, 53, in 1994 and they tied the knot in 1998. However, the relationship came to an end six years later, and their divorce was finalized in 2005. “It broke my heart. I didn’t want to get divorced,” Stamos admitted during a June 10 appearance on Bobbi Althoff’s “The Really Good Podcast.” He added, “She wanted to [get divorced]. It took me a long time to get over, but I have to say that … she has a nice life, she married another guy, they have kids, they’re doing great.” Romijn married actor Jerry O’Connell in December 2007. The stars share twin daughters, Charlie and Dolly, 17. Stamos, meanwhile, married actress and model Caitlin McHugh in 2018. They share a son, Billy, 8. During his podcast appearance, Stamos recalled recently bumping into O’Connell, 52, at a party. “I met him recently. It was very interesting. He was very sweet. He was very nice,” he said. “We were at a party together and he came over and he was super nice. He couldn’t have been sweeter. He was very, very funny and very charming.” While Stamos said he’d “met [O’Connell] once maybe 20, 30 years ago,” he added of Romijn, “I haven’t seen her since we got divorced.” In his 2023 memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, Stamos opened up about the demise of his relationship with Romijn, which she later said “blindsided” her. “As I’m lifting Rebecca up, I’m losing myself. … She makes it clear that I’m the TV guy and she’s the newly minted star. … Somewhere deep inside, I start to believe it,” he wrote at the time. According to the ER alum, there were “ups and downs” throughout the couple’s marriage. “But through all that, there’s zero talk about having kids and starting a family,” he wrote. “This was always our plan. Our dream. It feels as though she doesn’t share that dream with me anymore.” According to Stamos, the X-Men actress was too “busy with her career and new friends” to notice that he was “slipping away.” He wrote, “We’re trying new things and growing, but not together,” adding that it felt “harder to make time for each other, slow down, disconnect from the chaos of the world, and make eye contact again.” Ultimately, however, “She smiles at me a little less, doesn’t look me in the eyes over dinner, takes phone calls in the other room,” Stamos wrote. “Betrayal starts as a sinking feeling in your stomach, grows into a suspicion that clouds your every thought, and by the time you find out the truth, it’s uniquely horrible at first but also expected, like you’ve been waiting for something bad to happen. There’s nothing more to say. There’s a point of no return, and what felt like a phase is now her phasing me out for good.”

JD Vance Hints at Possible Reversal of Controversial Iran Deal New

JD Vance Hints at Possible Reversal of Controversial Iran Deal

Vice President JD Vance insisted that the Iran deal could be reversed if there is “utter meltdown” over the terms — as the White House has pushed back on purported draft versions of the pact that have been leaked to the media.Vance was pressed about the memorandum of understanding, which critics have argued tilts in favor of the Islamic Republic, in an interview with Megyn Kelly on Tuesday.The conservative commentator pushed the veep to confirm that the deal could be reversed if there was widespread concern.Two people waving the flags of Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Hezbollah in Baghdad on June 15, 2026, during celebrations following the announcement of a deal to end the war between Iran and the US. AFP via Getty Images“I mean you’ve already signed it, but it’s not like legally binding to where you can’t undo it. It’s a diplomatic agreement. If people freak out, if there’s an utter meltdown here in the United States, it could always be undone if you change your minds,” Kelly suggested.Vance agreed, adding that it is “simple.”“Exactly. And and I again, Megyn, I could summarize this deal in like two or three sentences which is that if the Iranians change the way that they behave with regards to their nuclear weapon, with regards to their financing of terrorism, we are going to bring them into the world economy. If they don’t, we won’t. It’s really that simple,” he responded.JD Vance discusses the Iran deal on The Megyn Kelly Show. YouTube / Megyn KellySatellite image showing marine traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. MarineTrafficPresident Trump echoed Vance’s assertion that the details of the agreement could end up changing when a reporter asked him about it at the G7 summit in France Wednesday.“No, it’s not final. It’s a memorandum of understanding, and if I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their heads. If I don’t like it, and they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head,” the president warned.Meanwhile, the White House is denying a draft 14-point version of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran obtained by CNN, Bloomberg and other outlets is the real thing.“The supposed text of the MOU that was obtained by CNN does not reflect the language of the actual MOU,” White House communications director Steven Cheung wrote on X in response to a post by CNN White House correspondent Alayna Treene in which she trumpeted getting her hands on an advance copy.The agreement would extend the cease-fire to Lebanon, open the Strait of Hormuz, waive Iranian sanctions and allow Iran to sell oil and establish a pathway toward a comprehensive peace agreement.It also outlines a $300 billion development fund that Iran may be able to tap into if it meets commitments related to its nuclear program in further negotiations.On Tuesday, Israel’s Channel 12 reported details of a slightly different 12-point agreement.Notably, neither includes concrete promises regarding Iran’s nuclear program besides reiterating a pledge to never produce or obtain another weapon.The full details of the deal will be released at a signing ceremony in Switzerland on Friday.Skeptical congressional Republicans, however, aren’t rushing to support the deal as they wait to read the document — which had not been shared with even the highest-ranking lawmakers as of Tuesday afternoon, despite leaks about its contents. “Unless you were homeschooled by a day drinker, no one’s confident that Iran is going to do anything,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told reporters, after saying, “I want to read it myself.

Këto janë gjana që nuk i them me gëzim, por janë fakte që i din shumë njerëz. Familja jonë kurrë nuk ka pasë problem me familjen e tij. Përkundrazi, edhe nana jem e ka prit nanën e tij me ardhë me e pa, e i kemi thanë se nuk kemi asnjë problem me ta. As nana e tij, as Batoni nuk mbajnë asnjë faj për atë që ka ndodhë. Përgjegjësia është individuale dhe për veprimet e Ernestit nuk mundemi me dhanë përgjegjësi askujt tjetër ka me i mbajtë ai vet.”, ka shkruar Kastrati.Ndër të tjerash, Kastrati ka shprehur mirënjohje për reagimin e shpejtë të Policisë së Kosovës, si dhe ekipit mjekësor në QKUK, për kujdesin ndaj nënës së tij.“Shumë njerëz më kanë thanë: “Pse nuk e ke mbyt?” E para, aty e kom pasë nanën, gruan dhe djalin e vogël dhe krejt mendjen e kom pasë me i mbrojt ata. Me thanë të drejtën, kom pasë mundësi me i shkaktu shumë dëm, po jom nal. Më kanë dalë para syve nana, gruaja dhe djali jem. Jom mundu me majt veten nën kontroll dhe ashtu ka ndodhë.”, ka thënë ai.
