The 12 surprising celebrity couples that are in SAME time were ranked in order of age

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 12, 2023
It's not always clear how old someone is simply by looking. Wrinkles, graying hair, and saggy skin can all cloud your decision and make you wonder if you're in their 60s. But for those unfortunate souls who seem older than they are, it may be a reason to be concerned about more than just frown-lines. Researchers said yesterday that this could be a sign that they're at a greater risk of age-related diseases such as osteoporosis, hearing loss, and cataracts. Experts in the Netherlands estimated the age of 2,700 people aged 50 to 90, based solely on photographs of their faces, and grilling them on their medical conditions. The findings, which were published in the British Journal of Dermatology, showed that participants who were five years younger than their actual age had improved reasoning skills. They were also 16% less likely to need cataract surgery and 24 percent less likely to experience age-related hearing loss. So, MailOnline has revealed 12 surprising celebrity couples who are the same age but appear to be quite different as a result of the investigation, which was published in the British Journal of Dermatology.

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 21, 2022
Lydia and Timothy Ridgeway were born in what experts believe to be the longest-frozen to ever result in a live birth. They were born on October 31st in what their parents Philip and Rachel described as a'mind-boggling' birth. According to CNN, the embryos were frozen for an unknown married couple in April 1992 who were doing IVF and using a 34-year-old egg donor. The husband was in his early 50s when he was first married. They were stored in liquid nitrogen at -128.f. (-200f) in a fertility lab on the West Coast of the United States until 2007, when the couple donated them to the National Embryo Donation Center in Knoxville, Tennessee. Years later, the Ridgeways decided they wanted children, and last month, Lydia gave birth to twins.

'My Mind & Me' Is A Testament To Selena Gomez's Courage

www.mtv.com, November 3, 2022
Alek Keshishian, a director who consulted with Selena Gomez about a documentary about her experience with fame and her mental stability over the past six years, knew he'd have more credibility than other documentaries of late," he says. Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, which follows a rigorous two-and-a-half editing process, will premiere on Apple TV+ on November 4. The film delves into Gomez's fight with her mental health and how she emerged on the other side of life, including her kidney transplant, bipolar disorder, and the cancellation of her Revival tour in 2015. "The entire film is a tribute to Selena's ability to really open up those aspects of her life," Keshishian says, "so many people can see it and relate on some level." Keshishian, a renowned singer from Lebanon, is best known for his 1991 documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare, which follows viewers through the icon's four-month Blonde Ambition World Tour and became the world's highest-grossing documentary from its debut until 2002. After the final rehearsal for her Revival tour, the Harvard-educated filmmaker also produced music for Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative," Vanessa Williams' "He's Got the Look," and Gomez's 2015 hit "Hands to Myself." The comparison between her inner life and the public's image, coloured by reports of opioid use and partying, is palpable.
