Nicole Kidman, Kylie Jenner & Shannen Doherty Divorce & Rumors | EP 50
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode, we dive into the shifting landscape of high-profile relationships and the legal realities that often follow when the cameras stop rolling. From the "optimistic" new chapter for Nicole Kidman following her finalized divorce from Keith Urban to the sudden split of Todd Bridges and Bettijo Hirschi, we look at why even the most seemingly stable long-term unions are reaching a breaking point in 2026.
The conversation gets real as we unpack the complicated aftermath of Shannen Doherty’s estate battle and the quiet "trust issues" that led to Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s separation after a decade. We also look at the other side of the coin: the "deep dating" trend and why couples like Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are taking years—rather than months—to move toward engagement.
Things take a practical turn as we answer listener questions on the tough logistics of co-parenting and divorce strategy. From navigating relocation disputes and the complexities of hiring outside help for medical care to knowing when it’s finally time to switch attorneys, we break down how to handle the "business" of a breakup without losing your sanity.
We wrap the episode with a look at the future of dating. We explore why women are statistically initiating divorce more than ever, the unique "vulnerability gap" in Gen Z dating trends, and essential safety tips for navigating the apps. Whether you’re starting over after a long marriage or just trying to date with more intention, this episode ties together headline news with the common-sense advice you need to move forward.
