What's new about...? Bon Jovi and his charity restaurant, the exciting life of Gigi Hadid who turned 30, and Liz Hurley's surprise romance.
THE SOLIDARITY ROCKER
When Jon Bon Jovi (63) started his Soul Kitchen project in 2011, he set out to feed the needy. At the restaurant, which has two locations in New Jersey, customers pay for their food at very affordable prices or in exchange for volunteer work. The rocker and his wife Dorothea's venture has grown steadily since its inception, and according to the Jon Bon Jovi Foundation's official website, some 210,000 meals have already been served.
Happy to help—the foundation also provides shelter for the homeless—this year Bon Jovi and Dorothea opened a third Soul Kitchen location—albeit temporary, until May—inside the Ocean County Library, also in New Jersey. However, what most see as a positive action turns out to be an annoyance for Daniel Rodrick, the city's mayor, who is seeking to shut it down. "We don't want to be a dumping ground for the homeless problem in New Jersey. I definitely want it gone," Rodrick said in an interview with Fox News. Bon Jovi, for now, has not responded to the attack and continues his social work.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIGI HADID!
Jelena Noura Hadid, better known as Gigi Hadid , was born on April 23, 1995, in Los Angeles. With her 1.80 meters and hypnotic blue-green eyes, she conquered the fashion world. In February 2014, she made her official debut on the catwalk for the Spanish brand Desigual during New York Fashion Week. Since then, she has become an unstoppable supermodel, chosen by the industry's biggest brands. In 2015, she made an impact at the Victoria's Secret show held in New York and a year later she won the award for best international model at the London Fashion Awards, a category in which she competed with her sister Bella. In addition to major campaigns and top-tier fashion shows, Gigi also launched a clothing line in collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger.
As for her personal life, she was in a relationship for two years, between 2013 and 2015, with Cody Simpson and then the singer Zayn Mailk won her heart. A story full of comings and goings, but from which her daughter Khai (4) was born. Since October 2023, she has been dating actor Bradley Cooper .
AN UNEXPECTED ROMANCE
She had left a clue about the romance in one of her most recent Instagram posts: Elizabeth Hurley (59) put the ballad “She's Not Cryin' Anymore” by Billy Ray Cyrus as background music to the photos of her vacation in the Maldives – in which she looks spectacular in a bikini – at the beginning of April.
However, for most of her followers, this detail had gone unnoticed, and they only realized it when, at Easter, the British actress and the 63-year-old country musician—father of singer Miley Cyrus —shared a picture of them together on social media, very affectionate. The reactions were immediate, from the blessing of Liz's son, Damian, who responded to the post with heart emojis, to the warnings that other people made to the actress about Cyrus's troubled past with his ex-wife, Tish (Miley's mother), and his last partner, the singer Firerose, from whom he separated on bad terms. Time will tell if theirs is more than just a springtime love.
