I’ve spent the last 6 months receiving chemo, radiation and surgery,” he said in a June 2022 post on X (formerly Twitter). So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover, and relax.“I am looking forward to spending this time with my family. But I will see the fans sooner than later. I can’t wait. -T.”

Keith was probably one of the most famous names in country music.

Along with establishing a very successful career, he could also brag with an impressive family life.

Throughout his life, and especially throughout his battle with cancer, his wife of forty years, Tricia Lucus, was by his side.

The two met at a bar while he and his band were performing and they spent the night dancing together. At the time, Lucus was a 19 years old working as an oil company secretary and had a child she was raising on her own.

Speaking of Keith, she said that what attracted her to him was that “he was one of those larger-than-life guys, full of confidence.”

The couple tied the knot on March 24, 1984, after three years of dating. Keith adopted Lucus’ daughter and the two had children on their own.

Even before his diagnosis, Keith was an advocate about cancer research and in 2016 he established the Toby Keith Foundation to help provide children with cancer with housing for free.

At the People’s Choice Country Awards last September, where he received the Country Icon Award, the country singer icon shared insights into his treatment journey, describing it as a “roller coaster” experience.

His loss is immense. The world of music lost a legend, but his legacy would continue to live on. His resilient spirit would continue to inspire many more generations. May he rest in peace.

BEN AFFLECK, 52, SEEN WITH MYSTERY WOMAN WHO’S A JENNIFER GARNER LOOKALIKE

You might have thought that the drama involving Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez was over, especially since Jennifer officially filed for divorce last week.

But you’d be wrong.

It looks like there’s still more to this story, with new rumors and reports about what Affleck and JLo might do next showing up online.

If reports are true, Affleck could be moving on already—he’s been seen spending time with a mystery woman.

For a long time, it’s been clear that Affleck and Lopez’s marriage was in trouble. They got back together almost twenty years after their first breakup, and for a while, it seemed like they might finally get the happy ending their fans had always hoped for.

When ‘Bennifer’ surprised everyone by getting married in Las Vegas in 2022, it seemed like they were on track to be one of the most iconic celebrity couples of the 21st century.

Earlier this year, however, signs of trouble started to appear. People said that Affleck had moved out of the couple’s fancy Beverly Hills mansion, and both he and Lopez were spotted without their wedding rings at times.

With rumors spreading fast and people wanting answers, neither Affleck nor Lopez spoke out about what was happening. Their silence only made people believe even more that something was seriously wrong.

When Lopez canceled her planned tour of North America, saying she needed to spend time with her family, it was clear to many people that she and Affleck were likely headed for divorce.

Then, at the beginning of last week, Lopez officially filed for divorce at the Los Angeles County Superior Court. She did it on the very day that would have been their second wedding anniversary.

It’s unclear how the couple is dealing with the breakup privately, but it doesn’t seem like Affleck is sitting alone in a dark room, feeling sad about it. According to reports, the 52-year-old has been seen with the same female companion several times since Lopez filed for divorce.

The woman has caught the attention of people online, with some saying she looks a lot like Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

The mystery woman is 36-year-old Kick Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy. Radar Online first reported on August 24, four days after JLo filed for divorce, that Affleck and Kennedy were seen spending time together.

Radar Online says that Affleck and Kennedy have been spotted at fancy places like the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. However, neither of them has commented on their relationship.

One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote: “Looks exactly like Jennifer Garner…”

Another person added, “She looks like his ex-wife, not JLo. Jennifer Garner.”

Someone on Instagram wrote, “Jennifer Garner look-alike.”

Another fan on Facebook said, “She looks more his type than J-Lo does… like Jen Garner more than Jen Lopez seems his type.”https://www.instagram.com/p/C_Gl_R7vky0/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=14&wp=540&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fjokesdaddy.com&rp=%2Fben-affleck-52-seen-with-mystery-woman-whos-a-jennifer-garner-lookalike%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawFAINBleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHVavgU8k52g0Umu4nxrHc8kqVpOkQxhyiJcedXubfY2VVbRtcbwuEDuxDg_aem_z5W7ZfLHjs7GXmtYZ83bvw#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2117.699998855591%2C%22ls%22%3A1348.1999988555908%2C%22le%22%3A2108.199998855591%7D

Last week, fans made it clear they thought Affleck looked “happy” on the day Lopez filed to end their marriage.

Affleck was seen arriving back in Los Angeles with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, on August 20, the same day Lopez filed the divorce papers. This was enough to get people talking online.

One person commented on Instagram, “Man is happy!”

Another said, “He is so happy. I have never seen him smile like that. Whoa.”

A third person wrote, “He looks SO happy!”

Someone else added, “I kinda feel bad for JLo. I think she tried too hard to make it work, but he always showed a bad face with her, and with his kids’ mom, all happiness. Imagine how your wife may feel.”
