LYLA STORM FILES FOR DIVORCE:

Everything we know so far.

By CNZ

Only a week ago, the supermodel was seen at a gala in New York City for an addiction recovery charity that funds hundreds of AA groups all over the country and a few rehab facilities. She was alone, her (future ex-?) husband was noticeably absent, but that hasn’t been newsworthy in a long time.

Throughout their seventeen years of marriage, they have only been seen together in informal settings, like hockey games in LA, celebrity parties during award season, and an occasional The Storm concert here and there, since they never miss a chance to support their nephews Hawk and Wolf Storm.

So it was no surprise that Lyla made the trip to New York for the charity gala alone.

After reports have come out of her filing for divorce in Los Angeles only days later, we have to wonder if maybe Ruko’s absence was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Whatever it was, we’re sad to see the end of what we all thought was a great marriage. Their oldest child Ivan (16) is away at a hockey school in Canada and is set to be drafted into the NHL in less than a year, and their youngest, Alexei (13), has reportedly not been to school in LA for the last few days.

We wish them the best through this trying time.

WAS LYLA STORM UNFAITHFUL TO RUKO “THE HULK” JANKOWSKI?

The writing’s on the wall.

By CNZ

Barely a year ago we were all in shock that our favorite athlete-supermodel duo were calling it quits, and we’ve been speculating since on what exactly went wrong because the exes have given zero interviews or insight into their divorce.

It seems we have our answers now.

No one was aware Lyla had started a relationship with media mogul Michael Ellsworth, and now the news of their engagement has hit the internet with the same impact of a hydrogen bomb.

A new picture has made the rounds on social media thanks to this, showing a beautiful Lyla talking to the billionaire at the very gala she went to days before filing for divorce.

The couple is seen smiling at one another in a distinctly non-platonic way, and the hunt for any previous interactions has begun all over social media.

Everyone seems to be accepting this as proof that Lyla Storm was unfaithful, and it’s hard to debate it.

A source close to Lyla has told us that she and Ruko’s and her youngest child, Alexei (14) have moved to New York City, and that the wedding will be in the city sooner than anyone would think.

TENSIONS BETWEEN EXES LYLA STORM AND RUKO JANKOWSKI MAKE FOR AN AWKWARD NHL DRAFT:

The couple was seen in a public setting for the first time after Lyla’s wedding to media mogul earlier this year.

We won’t claim we know everything about hockey, but aren’t the parents of the first draft pick supposed to be happy when their son’s name is called?

Ivan Jankowski was drafted first overall to the Portland Panthers only last night, and while that is in and of itself already the achievement of a lifetime, his parents (who divorced less than two years ago, and his mother has gotten remarried since then) didn’t seem to find much joy in their son’s accomplishment.
