Now that NYFW Bridal has come and gone, the time has come to weigh in on the trends that featured on the runways of the hottest bridal couture designers. From bling to capes to unexpected lengths, this year’s trends were all about the details.

The first hot 2019 bridal fashion trend was wedding pants, a super versatile modern take on wedding wear. From romantic, lacy versions that are perfect for a modern ceremony, to tailored white pantsuits designed for casual affairs, the pants trend is comfortable, on-trend, and flattering for practically every figure.

Capes also featured heavily on this year’s runways, giving an interesting alternative to the visual effect of a veil. Bridal capes are not just beautiful, they’re also practical: you can use a cape to cover up for a more formal look during the ceremony, and then easily remove it to reveal a sexier look for the reception.

Short, flirty dresses also made an appearance this season, perfect for brides who like to make a statement. Brides with a love for killer heels – or those who want to show off their legs – will embrace this season’s trend for shorter silhouettes.

Tiered dresses are a great trend for brides who want a dress with flair without having to deal with a full skirt or long train, as they add visual interest without adding weight. Puff sleeves were another popular detail on the runway this year, particularly gauzy, romantic versions which were paired with modern, sleek silhouettes.

Lastly, what princess bride doesn’t dream of a head-to-toe sparkling gown? These bold styles were everywhere at this year’s fashion week in the form of sequins, beading, and metallic embellishments. Going full sparkle is the perfect way to light up the dance floor at a nighttime reception – just keep your accessories minimal and let the dress do all the work.

Ben Affleck has dated several famous women who are arguably even more well-known than him, but he has also dated some women who were not celebrated Hollywood actresses. Much of these relationships looked like they would work out but eventually ended. Read on to find out more about how Ben Affleck’s professional and personal life collided, giving birth to some tumultuous but dreamy dalliances resulting from a whirlwind of courtships.

Ben Affleck’s first-ever relationship was with Cheyenne Rothman, his high school sweetheart in the mid-1990s. The two teenagers met at summer camp and started dating right after, which is adorable. They were together for years, dating on and off from 1990 to 1997.

Unfortunately, high school relationships only seem to last in movies. In real life, only a small percentage of relationships between high school sweethearts last, and such was the case for Ben and Cheyenne.

After dating short-film director Cheyenne Rothman for seven years, Ben Affleck finally ended ties with her in 1997. Why did they split, you ask?

In short, it was the actor’s rise to fame due to the movie Good Will Hunting, which he wrote and starred in. This may have driven a wedge between them, but that is merely speculation. Their relationship was destined to remain in the 1990s. It would not make it to the next decade.

After winning an Oscar for Good Will Hunting, Affleck’s relationship with Rothman fell apart. When Ben Affleck met Gwyneth Paltrow, he instantly fell for her, ending his relationship with his high school sweetheart to be with his new girlfriend.

Not much else has been written about Cheyenne Rothman, other than that she was the first to steal Ben Affleck’s heart, since she is the least famous woman Ben Affleck has been romantically linked with.

When you’re young and famous in Hollywood, you tend to date others who are too. When Ben met Gwyneth at a dinner party that included the very best that the film industry had to offer at the time, they were both in their 20s. They would go on to star in two movies together, Shakespeare in Love and Bounce.

Their high-profile romance was the talk of the town for years, but they never married and eventually split up in 2000. A whirlwind romance doesn’t guarantee a long-lasting relationship, sadly.

Gwyneth Paltrow was Ben Affleck’s first Hollywood relationship. He would go on to date several more household names after her.

When asked why the relationship ended, Gwyneth Paltrow said that she believes, certain boyfriends come in your life to help you work through some issues, perhaps some stuff from childhood, and Ben Affleck, as she states, was more of a lesson for her, in that way. The relationship may not have lasted, but we are glad it helped them grow!

Gwyneth Paltrow’s parents were not as enthusiastic about her dating Ben Affleck as they were about her previous boyfriend, Brad Pitt.

They didn’t think he was in a good place in his life to have a girlfriend. Even though they thought he was super-intelligent, talented, and funny, they were not completely happy about the idea of him being with their daughter. It may have been one of the many reasons the couple didn’t end up together!

Gwyneth Paltrow went on to become an award-winning actress, but she is now arguably known as much for her web-based company “Goop.com,” as she is for her film stardom.

Recently, Gwyneth Paltrow became engaged to Brad Falchuk, who is known for his work on Glee, Pose and American Horror Story, stating that she felt incredibly lucky to have met him and hoped to have a “healthy and happy” relationship with him.

Ben Affleck met Jenny from the block on a film set! They got engaged a few months after their relationship took off. The couple had a power couple name, “Bennifer”, and the tabloids frenziedly covered every move they made together. They filmed the movie Gigli together while falling in love.

She got engaged to Ben Affleck after finalizing her separation with Cris Judd, but they never married, even though they were engaged for years.

Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Lopez when she went to visit his family in Boston. When Ben opened the door of the house for her, she saw a blanket of rose petals sprawled throughout the house, decorated with candles.

To make it even more romantic, Ben went on to read out a letter that he had written, telling her why he loved her and wanted to be married to her. Much publicity was made of the pink diamond ring he had gotten her later.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck couldn’t be more different. He was a party boy, she was a workaholic. Their lifestyles couldn’t be merged, even though they tried, and in the end, the wedding had to be called off after he got cold feet about getting married so young.

The relationship may also have ended because the couple couldn’t handle being in the spotlight all the time. The uncontrolled media frenzy over their impulsive romance and surprise engagement became too much to handle.

Jennifer Lopez, of course, is one of the most famous American singers of all time and has released some of the best-selling singles ever made. Ben and Jennifer still keep in touch, even though it has been nearly 16 years since they were together.

Jennifer Lopez is now happily engaged to Alex Rodriguez, but they have indefinitely postponed their wedding due to the current world situation. The wedding of their dreams would have been a summer affair in Italy with all their family and friends.

After dating two wildly famous women, Ben Affleck began dating Enza Sambataro after he met her at a Boston Red Sox game. Apparently, it was excessive media attention that ruined the relationship after only two months.

Even though she kept the gossip mill busy for two months for daring to be involved with Ben Affleck, Enza Sambataro doesn’t remember much about the experience now because it ended so quickly.

Enza Sambataro wanted to keep her life rather spotlight free after being with Ben Affleck. She didn’t successfully stay out of the tabloids, though. Yes, she only broke up with Affleck because she didn’t want to become grist for the gossip mill.

However, she ironically married and later separated from Red Sox baseman Kevin Youkilis, who’s famous in his own right. The couple met in 2006 and married two years later.

Here’s a relationship we all know and rooted for! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner met in 2000 on the set of the movie Pearl Harbor. Four years after the first encounter, they would make their first public appearance as a couple at a Boston Red Sox game.

Ben proposed to Jennifer on her birthday and they got married the very next year in a private ceremony! There were only four people present.

In 2005, Affleck and Garner went on to have their first child, Violet, together. In 2009, they had their second daughter, Rose. The third child, a son named Samuel, was born in 2012.

When talking publicly about his wife, Ben Affleck has always been open about how much he loves her and how important she is to him. After having three children together, they went on to be separated while seeking joint physical and legal custody of their children.

In 2015, the couple announced that they were separating. During this time, Ben Affleck began battling his drinking problems (more on that later).

Ben Affleck was the love of Jennifer Garner’s life, so she tried to keep the marriage from ending for two more years (while staying separated) but in the end had to concede that they were better off apart. Sadly, the separation was ultimately finalized in 2018. They are no longer together.

Recently, Ben Affleck has begun talking about his separation from Jennifer Garner, claiming that it was the “biggest regret” of his life. He explained how his drinking problems impacted his marriage, saying that he was trapped in a vicious cycle.

He talked about how failing her and failing his marriage left him loathing himself, which was a hideous, toxic feeling for him to stew in. However, he is trying to pick himself up and move forward.

Ben Affleck has struggled with his drinking problems for a long time now, trying, again and again, to get sober while barely holding on to his professional and personal life. This issue began worsening as his marriage with Jennifer Garner fell apart.

He has had to carry around immense guilt and shame for the past few years but found a therapeutic experience to help him move past it – making a movie about a man with a drinking problem who blew up his marriage.

Ben Affleck has been one of Hollywood’s most famous male celebrities for the last two decades. His prolific career has taken many twists and turns. His film performances have been equally praised and criticized. After making some poor career choices, he hit rock bottom when Gigli was released, which tarnished his credibility.

However, the talented actor managed to rise to fame again with well-received movies like Argo and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and is now skillfully directing movies.

Ben Affleck has opened up about his depression a number of times. He has spoken about how he has tried many antidepressant medicines since he was 26 and how helpful they have been, but he has also talked about the awful side effects, like gaining weight.

He later revealed that he was working on finding a sense of meaning and purpose after going through a painful separation that he regrets.

The marriage of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner came to an end when the Gone Girl actor cheated on his wife with their nanny Christine Ouzounian. The one time-nanny had allegedly had an affair, which was initially denied by the 42-year-old actor but later confirmed by 43-year-old Jennifer Garner.

Ex-nanny Christine had apparently “tipped off” paparazzi about their meeting so that photos of them could be taken at a rental house.

Not much information about this ex-nanny could be gathered, as she now leads a very private life. Christine baby-sitted the children of many celebrity couples, including Neil Patrick Harris. She received an offer to star as Cat Woman in a parody of Batman vs. Superman, by producer and director Axel Braun for a million dollars.

The celebrity nanny turned down the offer and said she was looking for TV deals. Although previously engaged to fisherman Christopher Albury, the relationship did not work out.

Our favorite Batman and Emmy winning producer Lindsay Shookus started dating happily in April 2017 after Affleck and Garner’s separation in the same month. However, sources reveal that the two had unofficially been in an affair since 2014 after Lindsay became a mom.

During Ben Affleck’s reshoots of the Justice League, the two had been seen taking a work trip to London. The couple had also been spotted going to shows, dinners, and parties since then.

Shookus and Affleck were spotted together in public on multiple occasions and at multiple places during their relationship. They have been seen walking arm in arm on the streets of New York, London, Santa Monica, and more. In September 2017, they were even spotted cozying up at the US Open held in Queens, New York.

Besides arriving at airports together and grabbing drinks at Starbucks, the couple has also attended comedy shows, where Ben’s brother Casey Affleck has joined them on one occasion.

Despite giving their relationship a second shot, multiple sources confirmed in April 2019 that the twosome split for a second time. During the first time, Ben blamed his drinking problem. On the second time, however, it was all the distance.

They weren’t spotted together much afterward, and, though they wanted to live together, things didn’t go smooth for them! Ben Affleck still appreciates Lindsay for everything she has done for him in their times of staying together.

The long-distance relationship didn’t work out for Affleck and Shookus, but that doesn’t mean they are not allowed to be friends. Both Benny and Lindsay share an amicable relationship until now.

Shookus is now, however, madly and deeply in love with Jon Hamm. They have been together since 2019. They were spotted together in many theatres, parties. It looks like SNL is the scope of love for Shookus.

Shauna Sexton was spotted meeting Ben Affleck in his house – it was apparently a mere friendship. However, the frequent calls and visits in rehabs resulted in something more. After the breakup with Lindsay, Ben was looking for something more. That’s how Shauna became the next love interest for him.

The 22-year-old Shauna was arrested for underage drinking twice and was blamed for supporting Ben’s drinking habits. She, however, claims that she never took a drink in front of Ben and requests the media to stop blaming her.

Ben Affleck had always been clear about his drinking habits, and how it was something that he couldn’t let go. So, he decided that going to rehab was the best option for him. He was doing fine, taking medications, doing meditations and so on.

What drew the paparazzi, though, was the frequent visits of Shauna Sexton, the Playboy model. Shauna already had quite a reputation, but after Affleck’s drinking problems started getting worse, the media thought, who else is there to blame apart from Sexton?

The two-month fling with Affleck was a lot for Shauna Sexton to deal with. Ben was going through a separation with Jennifer Garner, a breakup with Lindsay Shookus, and was trying to come out of his drinking issues. Shauna says that she tried to be there for him.

Affleck’s mood swings were pretty hard to deal with, however, and Shauna being the party animal may have ignited his drinking habits further. Rehab didn’t help and accusations on Shauna were storming. So, Sexton was reportedly scarred from the relationship.

Shauna Sexton is currently focusing her time in workouts and, of course, taking lingerie and bikini pictures on Instagram. Things weren’t looking good for the Instagram star during her relationship with Ben Affleck. All of Hollywood objectified her, which was incredibly hurtful for her.

The veterinary technician turned Playboy model however came out strong and still rocks the cover pages. Sexton decided to move on, starting a relationship with a 32-year-old businessman.

A fun fact is our dear Benny met the musician and former model Katie Cherry on an online dating app. They were first spotted together on the eve of Halloween. Sources clearly say that they seemed to be very much into each other.

The occasional coffee dates and the moments in the parks all seemed too sweet. However, Ben denied having any sort of romantic ties with Katie Cherry. The question is, was it a fling then?

After some serious accusations made by ex-wife Jennifer Garner, Katie and Ben decided to part their ways. Now, Katie is focusing on her music and has stated that she is not using celebrities for fame, as she was accused of.

During the current world situation, she revealed that she got much closer to her mom Suzy and is continuing to live with her. Apart from that Cherry has not been known to date anyone publicly after Ben Affleck.

It’s funny how Ben Affleck had no idea who Gavankar was until, of course, they became co-stars on the movie The Way Back. They represented their real-life chemistry on the red carpet at a premiere in Los Angeles. The way they were getting cozy with each other signaled media that it meant something more.

The media couldn’t stop capturing their heartfelt moments together. Though they never claimed to be in a relationship, we all know how secretive celebrities can be.

The half-Indian, half-Dutch and all-American engineer come actress from Mumbai has been seen in a number of music videos, films and more. Her last project was with Ben Affleck in the movie The Way Back in 2020.

Although she had a Theatre Performance major in college, she has not been involved in any film since then. The 39-year-old was last reported to be in an official relationship with American entrepreneur Angelo Sotira.

Ben Affleck first met Ana De Armas when they were working together, playing the role of a married couple in the psychological thriller Deep Water. Even though they maintained the “work” relationship well, their trip to Cabo and exploring the country together revealed the intimacy of the duo.

Before they started publicly dating, the two were seen having an enormous amount of public displays of affection when they were in Los Angeles, California.

It was quite strange that the duo had not shared their intimacy with the world. They had not even followed each other on Instagram. Ana later, however, confirmed on Instagram in April that they started officially dating by sharing pictures of the two together on the actress’ 32nd birthday.

Ben Affleck was even seen speaking in Spanish with his Cuban girlfriend after appearing as a couple on the movie Deep Water.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s kids are enjoying spending their time with Ana De Armas. The three children – son, Samual, and daughters, Seraphina and Violet – have been involved in fun and games with their dad’s new girlfriend.

The kids played a prank on their dad by placing a cardboard cutout of the actress lying on her stomach and smiling on the lawn. The group is often seen taking strolls and sharing pictures.

If you think the pandemic has paused all the fun, then you should look at Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas. Pictures of the twosome walking around with their dogs, canoodling around with and without their masks just shows how happy they are with each other.

Watching the two chowing down on Dunkin Donuts iced coffee in the mornings and laughing around is all the evidence you need to admit that they are quarantine couple goals.

In an interview on ABC’s Good Morning America, Affleck talked about his decision to become sober as well as his recent movie The Way Back. He revealed that he aspires for a healthy and loving relationship with an intimate partner and his three children.

Affleck’s love life with Ana De Armas has, thus, been a great change for him, as they have been seen traveling to Ana’s home in Cuba and Costa Rica after wrapping up the film Deep Water. Ana is definitely bringing a positive light to Ben’s life.

Ben Affleck recently starred in a sports drama The Way Back, which is about a recovering addict, a story he says he personally relates to. Affleck is also digging deep into his directorial skills this time by signing up to direct The Big Goodbye for Paramount, which is an adaptation of the book The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and The Last Years of Hollywood by Sam Wasson.

The previous adaptation Chinatown, starring Jack Nicholson, is thought to be one of the greatest movies of all time, but this rendition could possibly be just as amazing.
