Tiger Woods & Elin Nordegren – A picture-perfect love story with a smashing ending

05/31/22 • 40 min

Hooked, Hitched & Hung Up with Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne

This is not your average love story.

He was destined for greatness. His father believed he was so talented he would literally change the world. He was breaking world records before he was even a professional athlete. One of his first major sponsors sort of implied he might... end racism?!

There was a lot of pressure on Tiger Woods in the first half of his career. His parents, his sponsors, his supporters, and even people who’d previously never watched a second of golf in their lives, were watching with baited breath.

But he just wouldn’t crack. Whether it was the final putt in a Masters tournament or an interview question in poor taste, Tiger Woods just wouldn’t make a wrong step. He even married the perfect woman in Elin Nordegren: beautiful, intelligent, poised, and endlessly supportive.

Oh, and then he became the centre of the biggest, most ludicrous sex scandal in modern history overnight. When it rains it pours, right?

How did Tiger Woods fall from grace so very, very hard? And how on earth did he keep the whole thing a secret for so long? Did Elin know all along? And what’s changed in the decade since?

Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet — It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over

Actors Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet were the most optimistic – and human – fairy tale love story in Hollywood. They’re rich, famous and beautiful, sure, but they also showed us that building a loving, respectful, blended family – even in the spotlight – was possible.

They had the style and the substance, and Jason had a beautiful bromance with Lisa’s ex, Lenny Kravitz. We were here for it.

But now they‘re no longer together, Britt and Laura have some QUESTIONS. The girls are taking this one down to the precinct and they are going to grill it until they have answers!

Does their break-up cast doubt on the seeming perfection of their relationship at large? Or reinforce Laura’s claim to the Man Mountain as her hall pass?

A rollicking tale with gratuitous mentions of beautiful people, rock stars and (weirdly) Irish beer, conscious uncoupling has taken on a whole new meaning for these two...

Wait, what?! Another engagement ring, another butt-kiss on a yacht. It’s a fresh start for Bennifer 2.0!

Pop icon Jennifer ‘J.Lo’ Lopez and Hollywood heartthrob Ben Affleck met and fell in love filming a rom-com in the wee years of the twenty-first century, and quickly became the most famous couple in the world. There was the infamous Jenny From the Block video, featuring the even more infamous butt kiss on a yacht and then...

It ended as swiftly as it began. The whirlwind romance whooshed off into distant memories, and the two stars rode respective rollercoasters in their new marriages and their careers. But in 2021, nearly two decades after they first met, rumours of a reunion started rumbling...

Can Ben Affleck one-up the serious moves he pulled off the first time he wooed J.Lo? Has nostalgia finally taken over the planet? And... is the second time the charm?
