The post triggered an outpouring of positive reactions from fans, with one exclaiming, “You got yourself a partner!” and another playfully admitting, “I’m naturally jealous… is that weird.”

Jeff Garlin was previously married for two decades

Garlin was previously married for two decades to Marla Beth Cahan. As per The New York Times Magazine, they got married in 1994.

The Curb Your Enthusiasm actor popped the question to Cahan, a casting director, during a Neil Diamond concert. The couple welcomed two sons, James Garlin and Duke Garlin. 

However, in 2018, the couple parted ways after being together for 20 years. Despite the end of their marriage, in an All’s Fair with Laura Wasser podcast, he expressed love and deep care for his ex-wife.

Cahan, apart from being Garlin’s former spouse, also has an impressive career in the entertainment industry. As an accomplished casting director and actress, she has left her mark on various projects, including the 2019 award-winning biopic film Bombshell.

A musical collab between Dua Lipa and Rosalía is finally happening; at least, it seems that way.

The English-Albanian singer has been very vocal about the Spanish singer’s talents and has even been spotted fangirling over her on multiple occasions. This has led their fans to want them to do a musical collaboration. And apparently, it’s happening.

On Thursday, December 7, 2023, DeuxMoi – a pseudonymous Instagram account that publishes celebrity gossip – took to their Instagram stories to share a tip they received from an anonymous source.

The subject of the tip mentioned that Lipa and Rosalía were spotted together at the NightBird Recording Studios, a recording studio in West Hollywood, California. “Dua Lipa & Rosalía together at NightBird Recording Studios in Los Angeles (TODAY),” the subject read.

As the anonymous tipster – who has used popbopof2024 as their email – continued, they mentioned that they had seen Lipa arrive at the NightBird Recording Studios with a producer in the morning — probably in the morning of December 6, 2023.

The source added that just five minutes after Lipa entered the recording studio, Rosalía arrived at the exact location in her Ford F-150 Raptor car. “Possible collaboration? It looks like it is,” the source concluded their tip.

Since DeuxMoi published the anonymous tip on their Instagram stories, it has become a topic of discussion over X [formerly called Twitter], where fans of both musicians have shown excitement over their favorite artists’ possible collab.

For instance, one user posted a video of a woman screaming in excitement and wrote, “DUA LIPA AND ROSALÍA TOGETHER IN A STUDIO IN LOS ANGELES IS GOING TO GIVE ME SOMETHING.”

“Today is a good day to be a girl and gay because it seems like we are singing a song by Rosalía and Dua Lipa,” wrote another fangirl of Lipa and Rosalía.

That said, as of this writing, neither Lipa nor Rosalía or their respective representatives have confirmed this report. DeuxMoi’s tips should often be taken with a grain of salt, as some might be true and others might not. For now, fans of the two stars must wait for an official confirmation.

Nonetheless, the news of Lipa and Rosalía being at the same recording studio with a producer has given hope to many of their fans. As mentioned earlier, fans have been waiting for them to do a collab for a long time.

It all started in 2018 after Rosalía admired Lipa’s works and told E! News that she was always ready to collaborate with Lipa. Speaking with the outlet, she stated, “I’m a huge fan of her work. She knows, she’s a friend of mine.”

“And I would love to make music with her, you know. Now, her schedule is crazy. Mine is crazy too, but I think that for me, she knows that I’m down; you know I would love to (collab),” the Latin Grammy winner added to her statement.

A year later, Lipa showed her support for Rosalía following her New York City show. In the same year, she sent the Spanish singer a special package to celebrate the release of her new single ‘Break My Heart.’

Lipa has also been spotted vibing to Rosalía’s songs at the latter’s concert at The O2. She later shared some snaps from the concert on Instagram and wrote, “Motomamiiiii Londressssss.” In 2022, she even channeled Rosalía in a complete Motomami look.

With all that said and done, it was only a matter of time before the two friends, who have mutual respect for each other and their works, would do a musical collaboration.

During an interview with PowerfulJRE on December 7, 2023, Daniel Cormier, former professional MMA, and current commentator for the UFC, revealed insight into the challenges he faced when fighting Jon Jones.

The conversation, which initially veered into a discussion about various topics, eventually focused on Cormier’s experience in the octagon against Jones. 

The former professional MMA reflected on the intense dynamics of their encounters, providing a glimpse into the physical and mental toll of facing a formidable opponent like Jones.

He delved into the intricacies of the fight game, drawing parallels to the primal instincts seen in nature, citing examples like bears asserting dominance.

Cormier recounted an incident during a press event with Jones at the MGM Grand, where their confrontation escalated, showcasing the alpha-male tendencies of both fighters. 

He said, “When I was in that press fight with Jon Jones, I was still undefeated at the time, and we were at the MGM Grand, and he head-butted me, like put his head on me. So, I push him. He’s an alpha male too. So, the [explicit] attacks me.”

Transitioning to the discussion about the planned fight with Jones that got canceled, Cormier expressed his disappointment. He provided insights into the nature of injuries in the sport, particularly referencing Jones’ unique injury that occurred seemingly in a non-traditional grappling scenario. 

The conversation further revealed Jones’ physical transformation, his weightlifting regimen, and the challenges of maintaining muscle mass while ensuring it remains functional for the demands of professional fighting. 

Cormier touched upon the complexities of dealing with a tall and rangy opponent like Jones, emphasizing his understanding of the fight game and his ability to manipulate positions effectively.

As Cormier vividly recounted his experiences, he shed light on the physical toll of clinching with Jones, a taller opponent, and the nuances of managing distance. 

He detailed the excruciating pain inflicted by body kicks and knees, highlighting the strategic brilliance of Jones in controlling the fight’s pace. 

Complete timeline of Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones

The rivalry between Cormier and Jones occurred at UFC 121 in Anaheim, California, five months before Jones ascended to the UFC light heavyweight championship. 

Cormier, then a heavyweight in Strikeforce, and Jones exchanged words backstage, with Jones playfully expressing his belief that he could take Cormier down. However, this encounter laid the groundwork for a deep-seated animosity between the two fighters.

Their paths diverged for a few years, with Cormier transitioning to the UFC light heavyweight division in 2014 and Jones maintaining his dominance in the weight class. 

As Cormier climbed the ranks, he became a vocal critic of Jones’s behavior outside the cage, accusing him of being fake and a hypocrite. The tension escalated on social media and in interviews, creating a volatile atmosphere that fueled the anticipation for their eventual clash inside the octagon.

The first scheduled encounter at UFC 178 in September 2014 was thwarted by Jones’s leg injury, but the fight was rescheduled for UFC 182 in January 2015. 

Jones secured a unanimous decision victory after a back-and-forth battle. The aftermath was marked by Jones’s public disrespect for Cormier. The rematch, initially slated for UFC 197 in April 2016, was postponed due to Cormier’s foot injury. 

When the rematch finally took place at UFC 214 on July 29, 2017, Jones delivered a third-round knockout, reclaiming the title. However, the joy was short-lived as Jones tested positive for turinabol, leading to the fight being overturned to a no-contest, and Jones was stripped of the title again.

Cormier recovered his title by default and went on to become a two-division champion by defeating Stipe Miocic. He successfully defended his titles in both weight classes before falling short against Miocic at UFC 241 in August 2019 and UFC 252 in August 2020.
