Loved by millions, Canadian-born singer Michael Bublé reached worldwide fame back in 2005 with his album It’s Time and his 2007 album Call Me Irresponsible, which reached number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, the UK Albums Chart, the US Billboard 200, and several others.
Over the years, the Grammy Award winner has sold over 75 million records worldwide, but despite the enormous fame he enjoys, he has stayed grounded.
Michael is married to Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato with whom he has four children.
The couple’s son Noah, who will be 9 this year, has gone through an ordeal when he was diagnosed with liver cancer at the age of just 3.
At the time the singer heard the devastating news, he was promoting his ninth studio album Nobody But Me. It was shortly before performing at The One Show on BBC One in London.
“Three minutes before I came on, my wife texted and told me something was wrong,” he said during an interview with U.K.’s Evening Standard in July 2018, and added, “I just died.”
Luckily, Noah is now in remission, but Bublé described the ordeal as “the worst possible thing that you could hear as a parent, and as maybe a human being.”
“I much rather would have it have been me. Many times I wish that it had been,” the musician said and added that the experience made them even stronger as a family and gave them a new outlook at life.
On Noah’s eight birthday, Bublé shared an emotional post on Instagram, writing, “Today my hero turns 8. I’ve never met anyone as brave… I’ve never known anyone as kind or as good-hearted… and I’ll never truly be able to express how proud I am, or how deep and profound Mommy’s and my love is for you. You’ve blessed our lives in every way.”
Along with the touching message, the musician shared two photos of him and Noah over the years.
Bublé said that the prayers they received by fans, friends, and strangers helped them in their battle against the cancer as a family.
Legendary Actress Loni Anderson: Forever Beautiful at 78
Loni Anderson, the well-known actress who captured our hearts as Cincinnati’s beloved sitcom WKRP’s Jennifer Marlowe, is proving that beauty has no age limits. Even at 78 years old, she still has an incredible appearance.
A Star That Transcends Time
Playing the sultry and brilliant Jennifer in the late 1970s catapulted Loni to fame. For the show, which traced the highs and lows of a fictional Ohio radio station, she was awarded three Grammys.
“I think women liked that I embodied both sexiness and intelligence,” Loni said. “In 1978, there weren’t many women in comedy who could effortlessly blend the two.”
Early Setbacks and Unwavering Determination
Loni struggled to overcome the challenges she faced on her early journey to stardom. The first girl in the school had to put up with looks and comments, so wearing a bra wasn’t always simple. Loni, though, proved that nothing could get in her way.
After making her acting debut in 1966, she never looked back. Along the way, she made appearances in several TV shows and movies, cementing her status as an iconic star. Among her most noteworthy moments is her appearance in a bikini poster, which was instrumental in her obtaining the Jennifer character on WKRP.
“I posed for that poster because my grandchildren would see it one day,” Loni remarked with a smile. And I’ll be proud to tell them that’s exactly how I appeared. What you saw is what you got.
Getting Past Personal Obstacles
Despite her popularity on TV, Loni’s personal life wasn’t always spectacular. Her four marriages, the most well-known of which was to actor Burt Reynolds, brought her highs and lows. Their dramatic, widely reported divorce after six years of marriage was marred by disparaging remarks and allegations. But in the end, by acknowledging the challenges she faced, Loni displayed amazing strength. Regarding the claims of physical abuse and unpaid child support, she was forthright.
Loni showed her respects when Burt died away in 2018, which speaks everything about her character. She was aware of his impact on her life and that of their son Quinton. This demonstrates her capacity for kindness and forgiveness.
Getting Older While Maintaining Grace
Even at 78 years old, Loni Anderson radiates beauty. She attributes her young look to leading a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a well-balanced diet. With unwavering determination, she challenges the stereotype of what a grandmother should look like and works to redefine the limits of age.
“I never thought I wanted to be the conventional, rocking-chair-wearing, sensible-shoe-wearing grandma,” Loni remarked. “Grandmothers don’t fit that stereotype, so we need to change how people think about what they can be!”
A Life Filled with Love and Inspiration
In addition to having a positive outlook on life, Loni makes sure the right people are around her. 2008 saw her marry her real love, guitarist Bob Flick. They are now happy grandparents and have a beautiful family together. Loni Anderson is a joy to be around and never ceases to inspire us with her positive view on life, even in the face of adversity, such as finding out that her daughter has multiple sclerosis. She informs us that age is just a number and that true beauty is found on the inside out.
