    You may know him from playing narcissists like Tony Stonem on Skins or Emperor Peter III on The Great. You know her for playing Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games and receiving three nominations at the Academy Awards. It’s Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence!

    Back in the early 2010s, Nick and JLaw dated off and on for five years. We’re looking back on this oft-forgotten couple with run-ins from Miley and Liam, a bathroom milestone, and the woes of breaking up with a co-worker.

  • 93. When John Adams Met Abigail Smith
    Sep 18 2024

    Today, over 1,160 letters still exist between President John Adams and his wife Abigail Adams. And do you know why there were so many letters between them?

    Because during their marriage, they were long distance for ELEVEN YEARS!!

    Before Adams became George Washington’s VP and eventually the second president of the United States, he was part of the original congress in Philadelphia and served as a diplomat in Europe. Because of this, he and Abigail sometimes only heard from each other once every few months!

    It’s clear from their letters that John and Abigail loved each other immensely. But Kel still has one question she hasn’t been able to solve: if John and Abigail adored each other so much, why didn’t they ever write the words ‘I love you’?
