Cardi B, Offset and Gwyneth Paltrow on Celebrity Divorce and Conscious Uncoupling | Ep 40

This episode takes you through the many faces of divorce, from celebrity breakups to new ways of parting peacefully. It begins with Cardi B and Offset, a couple whose split made headlines for its mix of love, drama, and public attention. Then comes Gwyneth Paltrow, whose “conscious uncoupling” with Chris Martin changed how people talk about separation. We unpack what that phrase means and why it sparked so much debate.
From there, the story moves to Scott Wolf and Kelly, and then to comedian Gary Owen, showing how each couple faced their own version of letting go. The episode shifts from the emotional side to the practical, explaining what collaborative divorce is and how financial neutrals and collaborative law organizations help couples move forward with less bitterness.
Before we wrap up, there is a quick discussion on “Soonicorns” in dating, a modern twist on relationships and expectations. The episode closes with ways to reach out if you want to learn more or talk about your own situation.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Vineyard Feud, Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban Prenup, Gen Z Dating Trends | Ep 39

In this episode, we dig into the drama, the deals, and the changing rules of love in the spotlight. It begins with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s fight over their French vineyard, a clash that shows how easily love and business can collide. Then we look at the world of celebrity prenups, where Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s agreement shows how stars protect both their hearts and their money. We compare their terms with the clauses found in the marriages of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, and Jay-Z and Beyoncé, where infidelity, lifestyle choices, and even weight come with legal strings attached.
The story moves beyond contracts to real-life turns in celebrity relationships. We talk about Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s split, Liam Hemsworth’s engagement, and Darius Rucker’s proposal. Then we turn to Gen Z and how this generation views marriage, divorce, and the influence of social media on love and commitment.
We finish with dating trends shaping 2025, including “freak matching freak,” AI dating, and the rise of filter-free connections. We also unpack “grim keeping,” the challenge of building trust, and how “status flexing” affects modern relationships. It’s an honest, sharp look at what love and loyalty mean in a world where fame, money, and technology all play a part.

In this episode, we cover major celebrity stories and real-world relationship issues. We start with Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s reported divorce, Adin Ross’s defamation lawsuit, and Akon’s wife filing for divorce days before their 29th anniversary. We also talk about Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper’s relationship, the latest Coldplay scandal, and Dave Grohl’s family life.
The discussion then shifts to how rising mortgage costs are keeping people in their homes longer, the effect of Kentucky’s equal custody laws, and the wider impact of 50/50 custody legislation on families.

We close with a look at Raiford’s book, the role of social media in educating people about family law, and new dating trends like “missed connections,” “monkey barring,” and “shreking.”

Lottery Wins, Celebrity Divorce Battles & Custody Challenges | IJWTD Podcast | Ep 37

This week, Raif and Rahul cover divorce stories making national and international headlines. From a man who won $273M after hitting rock bottom from divorce, to Russian oligarch Potanin’s ex-wife’s massive UK claim, to Denise Richards’ escalating custody fight. We also touch on Logan Paul’s $2M Lake Como wedding, plus key changes in family law from California and Australia, and the growing debate over no-fault divorce in the U.S.
Our core topic this week: school and custody. Who handles pick-ups and conferences? Who decides where the kids go to school? What happens when one parent “takes over” or when stepparents start stepping into parental roles?
Finally, we break down divorce law news from the last week and share insights on how these updates could affect families.
