    The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo A Novel (Taylor Jenkins Reid)

    by

    Now This, July 1, 1988, marks another dramatic chapter in the life of Evelyn Hugo, a name that continues to make waves in both Hollywood and tabloid circles. The starlet, whose personal life has always been under intense public scrutiny, is once again facing a divorce, this time from her third husband, Max Girard. As expected, the split is far from amicable, and the circumstances surrounding it promise to make this a messy and high-profile affair. In her divorce filing this week, Evelyn cites “irreconcilable differences,” but the reasons behind their decision to part ways go much deeper than what’s officially written on the paper. Behind the scenes, a storm is brewing, with accusations flying from both parties and a growing public interest in the details of their break-up. The former couple’s marriage has been anything but ordinary, and as it comes to an end, the world is watching, eagerly awaiting the fallout.

    Max Girard, who was initially seen as a calming influence in Evelyn’s life, has taken an aggressive stance in the aftermath of their separation. Reports suggest that he is not only seeking spousal support but also airing his grievances publicly, with a vendetta that seems to grow by the day. According to sources close to the couple, Girard has been spreading hurtful claims, accusing Evelyn of infidelity, calling her a lesbian, and even suggesting that she owes him her Academy Award. These statements, fueled by his heartbreak and anger, have cast a shadow over the divorce proceedings, with many wondering how much of this is driven by genuine pain and how much is an attempt to tarnish Evelyn’s reputation. While Girard has every right to feel betrayed, his public outbursts are undeniably turning a private matter into a spectacle, keeping the media engaged and eagerly awaiting every new development. His bitterness is palpable, and it’s clear that he’s struggling to cope with the breakdown of his marriage in a way that feels personal, not just professional.

    Meanwhile, Evelyn, as always, remains a captivating figure at the center of the storm. Last week, she was seen out to dinner with Jack Easton, a much younger Democratic congressman from Vermont, who has been the subject of much speculation since the two were photographed together. At just 29 years old, Easton is more than two decades younger than Evelyn, and the nature of their relationship has sparked a whirlwind of rumors. While some suggest that the dinner marks the beginning of a new romance, others are more skeptical, questioning whether this relationship is genuine or simply a diversion from the turmoil in Evelyn’s life. Evelyn’s romantic entanglements have always been part of her public persona, often driven by a desire for companionship and a sense of escape from her tumultuous world. The timing of her dinner with Easton—so soon after the end of her marriage—only fuels speculation about her motives and whether this is a fleeting fling or something more serious. For Evelyn, however, this new chapter may be a chance to find solace after years of emotional highs and lows, even if it means stepping into another whirlwind of public attention. The question remains: is Evelyn truly ready for a lasting connection with Easton, or is she simply seeking a distraction to fill the void left by the collapse of her marriage?

    Despite the public chaos surrounding her, Evelyn remains a resilient figure. She’s no stranger to scandal or controversy, and while the accusations from Max and the media frenzy around her love life may seem overwhelming, Evelyn is determined to maintain control over her narrative. She has weathered storms in her personal life before, from the collapse of her previous marriages to her complicated relationships with fame, and she is far from done. The media loves to paint her as a woman whose life is defined by her romantic entanglements, but Evelyn is more than just her love affairs. She’s a survivor, a woman who’s constantly reinventing herself, even in the face of public humiliation. As Max’s accusations continue to mount and the media’s gaze intensifies, Evelyn is proving, once again, that she’s more than capable of handling whatever comes her way. Her story is far from over, and whether or not her relationship with Jack Easton evolves into something more lasting, one thing is clear: Evelyn will continue to live her life on her own terms, even if that means taking risks and embracing the fallout. The world will be watching every step of the way, as Evelyn Hugo’s next chapter unfolds.
