Stress Ten

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] She is one of the stars of a comedy TV series. However, due to a stressful life event, she’s not laughing much lately. Or eating.

She hardly eats. She says that her stomach just can’t handle it. She looks like she has a “normal” body on TV, but in real life she is tiny. Now she’s dropped about ten pounds and she’s starting to look skeletal. She is smiling in public like everything is cool, but she is incredibly stressed out.

Stressed out? Yes, a divorce will do that to you!

SOLVED!

Actress: Julie Bowen

Julie Bowen is one of the star of Modern Family. She is a runner and a tiny person in real life, but in the last year, she got even thinner.

Blind Gossip told our readers back in September 2017 that it was because she was stressed out over getting divorced.

The divorce announcement was made six months later, in February 2018.

From The Daily News:

‘Modern Family’ star Julie Bowen reportedly splits from husband Scott Phillips

Call it a “Modern” split.

“Modern Family” star Julie Bowen and husband Scott Phillips have separated after 13 years of marriage, according to People.

The 47-year-old actress married Phillips, a real estate investor, in September 2004. The couple has three children: son Oliver, 10, and twins John and Gustav, 8.

The two have rarely been spotted in public together recently, most recently at a Harlem Globetrotters game in February 2017 with the kids.

Bowen stars as matriarch Claire Dunphy on “Modern Family,” a role that has earned her six Emmy nominations for supporting actress.

The sitcom, which recently passed 200 episodes, will likely end after its tenth season when most of the cast’s contracts expire, co-creator Steven Levitan said last month.

Phillips is asking Bowen to pay him spousal support. Bowen currently makes $500,000 an episode on Modern Family.

BG Trivia: Did you know that Julie Bowen’s real last name is Luetkemeyer?

Julie Bowen and her husband just settled their divorce today. The exact terms of their settlement are not known. Onward and upward, Julie!

Congratulations to Chicago Fix for being first with the correct response!

  5. Actress: Anna Farris

    [Optional] When you are stressed, do you tend to eat more or less than usual? I lose my appetite completely.

  7. Anna Faris.

    I saw a photo of her today with her son and I couldn’t believe how thin she is. Not good. Poor thing. Chris Pratt is a jerk.

  14. If this is Anna Farris, she’s actually looked super skinny for quite a while. I can’t imagine her with 10 more pounds lost.

  16. Probably Anna Faris. Divorce weight. I actually liked mine, but it always goes away after life settles down.

    I eat less when I’m stressed. Food, to me, is a celebration and if I can’t relish it because I’m stressed, I just won’t eat.

  19. Anna Faris, who’s currently on Mom? And who recently split up her her own hubby? That there’s another real life A Star Is Born story, which never has a happy ending …

  23. Anna Ferris.
    I am a complete stress eater! I hate it. I wish my appetite waned under stress rather than act like an insatiable voracious beast. I’d love to share my stress30 with poor Anna!

  26. Obviously Anna Farris.
    Optional: Unfortunately, I eat when I’m stressed. Wish it was the opposite. Ugh

  31. Anna faris. I saw a photo of her in shorts walking with her son and her knees were the widest part on her leg. I do hope she is seeing someone to help her through this.

  35. Anna Farris.

    Just saw pictures of her this weekend, she looks skinny, and the camera adds ten pounds supposedly.

    When stressed I eat less, so I get that she’s not eating

  49. Anna Farris

    I eat less. Restricted eating is a form of control when I feel I have none over the situation.

  65. Anna Farris
    Depends on the type of stress, if it’s angry stress I eat more, if it’s sad stress I entirely lose my appetite!

  72. Someone from modern family.

    I personally starve myself when I’m upset or stressed out. When I’m upset, I have no desire to eat, and I can’t keep food down at all. It’s only temporary though. It usually doesn’t last more than a couple of months…then I gain all the weight back.

  81. There is a photo of Anna Faris yesterday holding hands with her son and she looks like a concentration camp victim. So sad.

  82. Oh yeah…definitely Anna Faris. I forgot how super duper skinny she looked in her photos yesterday. She and I are very similar when we go through breakups. We starve.
