Fox talked about the difficult road they started on together, describing the situation as something she had never experienced before, as reported by the Daily Mail. 3. Elliot Page Elliot Page revealed a secret connection with Kate Mara in his biography Pageboy , which began after his 2014 coming out as gay when Mara was still dating Max Minghella.

John Stamos In his memoir, If You Would Have Told Me , John Stamos, the 60-year-old star, spoke about a childhood sexual assault at the hands of a former babysitter when he was ’10 or 11.’ He described a terrifying method in which he would ‘play dead’ in the hope that the assault would stop. The actor, who is well-known for his support of abuse survivors, discussed how he had repressed it for all these years. Stamos first faced these recollections while writing an acceptance speech for an award honoring his dedication to advocating for abused children. 5. Paris Hilton Hilton recalls how, in middle school, everyone had a crush on a ‘handsome young teacher’ with a ‘very Abercrombie’ appearance. This “Mr. Abercrombie,” on the other hand, told Hilton, “I’ve got a crush on you,” she wrote. He asked for Hilton’s phone number and cautioned her not to tell anyone—which she did not do. The teacher kept praising Hilton, and once, when her parents weren’t home, he went to her house. [He then] “pulled me into his arms and kissed me,” Hilton wrote. She revealed that he blamed it on her when they were caught, saying, “Why did you make me do this?” Hilton also revealed in her memoir that an older man sexually assaulted her at the age of 15. 6. Jada Pinkett Smith Jada Pinkett Smith recounted the heated buildup to the 2022 Oscars in her novel Worthy , in which her secretly separated husband, Will Smith, slapped Chris Rock. Despite attending as a couple, Jada considered standing by Will after the slap but chose not to fight his battle. She also said that the slap helped ‘save’ her marriage. Moreover, while reflecting on her previous relationship with August Alsina, she clarified that the talk of an open marriage was deceptive, underlining that it was not the ‘free-for-all’ it appeared. The memoir offers insight into their relationship’s intricacies, including public incidents and private challenges. 7. Barbra Streisand In her memoir, My Name Is Barbra , Barbra Streisand, 81, recounted her relationship with King Charles, 74, which began during the making of Funny Girl in 1974. Rumors of an affair and Princess Diana’s fascination appeared. Streisand mused on squandered opportunities, imagining herself as the first Jewish princess. “The fact is, both Prince Charles and I are shy, but somehow we still managed to connect, because that proved to be the beginning of an unexpected friendship,” she wrote. Meetings at Wembley Arena and a bouquet from Charles cemented their relationship.
