  • Cardi B, Offset and Gwyneth Paltrow on Celebrity Divorce and Conscious Uncoupling | Ep 40

    Cardi B, Offset and Gwyneth Paltrow on Celebrity Divorce and Conscious Uncoupling | Ep 40
    Oct 31 2025

    This episode takes you through the many faces of divorce, from celebrity breakups to new ways of parting peacefully. It begins with Cardi B and Offset, a couple whose split made headlines for its mix of love, drama, and public attention. Then comes Gwyneth Paltrow, whose “conscious uncoupling” with Chris Martin changed how people talk about separation. We unpack what that phrase means and why it sparked so much debate.

    From there, the story moves to Scott Wolf and Kelly, and then to comedian Gary Owen, showing how each couple faced their own version of letting go. The episode shifts from the emotional side to the practical, explaining what collaborative divorce is and how financial neutrals and collaborative law organizations help couples move forward with less bitterness.

    Before we wrap up, there is a quick discussion on “Soonicorns” in dating, a modern twist on relationships and expectations. The episode closes with ways to reach out if you want to learn more or talk about your own situation.

  • Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Vineyard Feud, Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban Prenup, Gen Z Dating Trends | Ep 39

    Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Vineyard Feud, Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban Prenup, Gen Z Dating Trends | Ep 39
    Oct 24 2025
    In this episode, we dig into the drama, the deals, and the changing rules of love in the spotlight. It begins with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s fight over their French vineyard, a clash that shows how easily love and business can collide. Then we look at the world of celebrity prenups, where Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s agreement shows how stars protect both their hearts and their money. We compare their terms with the clauses found in the marriages of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, and Jay-Z and Beyoncé, where infidelity, lifestyle choices, and even weight come with legal strings attached. The story moves beyond contracts to real-life turns in celebrity relationships. We talk about Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s split, Liam Hemsworth’s engagement, and Darius Rucker’s proposal. Then we turn to Gen Z and how this generation views marriage, divorce, and the influence of social media on love and commitment. We finish with dating trends shaping 2025, including “freak matching freak,” AI dating, and the rise of filter-free connections. We also unpack “grim keeping,” the challenge of building trust, and how “status flexing” affects modern relationships. It’s an honest, sharp look at what love and loyalty mean in a world where fame, money, and technology all play a part.

    Nicole Kidman, Akon & Adin Ross Drama & New Dating Trends | IJWTD Podcast | Ep 38
    Oct 11 2025
    In this episode, we cover major celebrity stories and real-world relationship issues. We start with Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s reported divorce, Adin Ross’s defamation lawsuit, and Akon’s wife filing for divorce days before their 29th anniversary. We also talk about Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper’s relationship, the latest Coldplay scandal, and Dave Grohl’s family life. The discussion then shifts to how rising mortgage costs are keeping people in their homes longer, the effect of Kentucky’s equal custody laws, and the wider impact of 50/50 custody legislation on families. Raiford Palmer answers listener questions about imputed income in Cook County, what happens when couples are separated but still legally married, and how to deal with a spouse opening a new bank account after a divorce filing. We close with a look at Raiford’s book, the role of social media in educating people about family law, and new dating trends like “missed connections,” “monkey barring,” and “shreking.” Timestamps: 01:07 Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Divorce 04:34 Adin Ross defamation lawsuit 06:16 Akon's Wife Files for Divorce Days Before 29th Wedding Anniversary 08:49 Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper's Relationship 12:27 Coldplay Scandal 14:31 Dave Grohl's Family Life 17:18 Mortgages causing people to stay in homes 19:09 Equal custody laws in Kentucky 22:34 50/50 Law Impact on Divorce 25:06 Question 1: Imputed Income in Cook County 31:08 Question 2: Separated but Still Legally Married 34:55 Question 3: Husband Opened a New Bank Account After I Filed for Divorce 39:07 Divorce Process and Community Property 43:18 Information about Raiford Palmer's Book 44:06 Social Media and Educational Content 44:39 Old-School Dating Trend (Missed Connections) 47:47 Monkey barring (A New Dating Term) 50:47 Shreking - Dating Below Standards Episode Links: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's Monthly Income Listed in Divorce Docs - https://bit.ly/42CJlc6 Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban's Divorce Documents: Papers Hint at How Long They've Been Preparing to Split, Child Custody Arrangements & More - https://bit.ly/47iK7h0 Akon's Wife Files for Divorce Days Before 29th Wedding Anniversary - https://bit.ly/42AzEuD Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper’s Wedding on Hold Because of How He Feels About His Past -https://bit.ly/4niDVdT Bradley Cooper Can’t Marry Gigi Hadid Yet Due to Prenup Stress -https://bit.ly/46Oot4c CEO and Exec at Coldplay Concert Weren't Having 'Affair,' Source Insists: 'This Has Been Devastating for Entire Families' (Exclusive) - https://bit.ly/3VZwMUo Fate of Dave Grohl's marriage to Jordyn Blum REVEALED one year after fathering secret baby | Daily Mail Online - https://bit.ly/3KKsNZx News Stories MORTGAGES KEEPING PEOPLE TOGETHER - https://bit.ly/3VVV01V EQUAL CUSTODY LAW CLAIMED AS REASON FOR DROP IN DIVORCE IN KY - https://bit.ly/3Ww9t4N Gen Z is 'monkey barring' — not cheating.
