ICYMI: all those talk shows ask celebs about their relationship…particularly when they date other celebs.

She posted about him a week ago. Just odd.

Lots of people gush over their spouse right before they split.

If they are happily dating, then it should have been a softball question. Regardless, she should have expected the question.

She’s 45, he’s 38, and they’ve been dating since 2022.

After a few years, you fish or cut bait.

And if the guy is 38 and might want kids someday, he’s not settling down with an older woman who can’t have a baby.

My guess is we will hear about the split after she’s done promoting her Netflix movie.

He already has 4 kids.

But she answered the same question on the Drew Barrymore show so her response doesn’t make sense. It airs today…

And talked about him openly with other talk shows on this press tour. I almost wonder if she misunderstood what Jenna asked when she said “if you feel comfortable”.

Her publicist probably told her it make her look bad to act that way with Jenna so she readjusted for Drew. She interviewed with Drew after she did Jenna.

It’s an interview about her new Christmas movie so that seems appropriate? Just don’t see the big deal.

It's not a big deal. I also think it's not so crazy she was asked about a boyfriend she over the top gushed about publicly, as a PP said.

Well babe this is what happens when you get a career because daddy was the president.

Adding on, Minka posted nothing about her today Show appearance on her Instagram and Today didn’t post about her either which was odd. Definitely something weird went on. Both the Drew Barrymore show and Minka posted about her appearance there and it was more than just a “see me on Drew Barrymore”… she posted a gushing tribute about what a lovely person Drew was with multiple photos from the show. I truly think it was some sort of misunderstanding, and it threw both Mika and Jenna off.

I sort of thought the way Jenna worded it was weird. “Tell me about your relationship if you’re comfortable”. I’d be thinking what am I supposed to say and why would I be uncomfortable?

Is there a video?

I just watched it and it was absolutely nothing and not awkward at all?! She seemed a little surprised Jenna brought her bf up seemingly out of the blue, but then Olivia Munn kept talking about him and everything was fine. Not exactly a surprise topic either considering her movie is a holiday romance and she's gushed about DR on instagram very publicly.

Because it's asking someone to discuss private matters--not everyone is comfortable doing that, obviously.

It also could have been because Mink's post was pretty raw and vulnerable. A can of worms if she thought she was being asked to comment on his "healing the wounds he didn't inflict", which then would bring up the list of famous BFs who presumably inflicted the wounds.
