In November 2021, an online advertisement invited readers to meet Michelle Pfeiffer's wife. Pfeiffer is a Hollywood actor who has appeared in such films as Ant-Man and The Wasp, Batman Returns, What Lies Beneath, One Fine Day, Avengers: Endgame, and White Oleander. The ad was hosted by the Outbrain advertising network. It's unknown who paid for the ad, but it led to a website named Boredom Treatment. According to domain information for Boredom Treatment, the website was registered in Iceland. The ad led to a 68-page slideshow article. Pfeiffer finally appeared on page 67. However, no wife was mentioned because Pfeiffer is married to TV director and producer David E. Kelley. The couple wed in 1993. The ad appeared to mislead readers into clicking through the entire article, while the article ended up telling the truth about Pfeiffer and Kelley's relationship: This misleading ad might remind some readers of another fact check about a celebrity's purported love interests. Earlier in 2021, an ad promised that readers would be able to meet Jay Leno's gorgeous husband. The resulting article lasted well over 130 pages. None of them even mentioned Leno. It was simply another instance of an advertiser attempting to grab the attention of readers by misleadingly changing a celebrity's preferred type of lover. In 2020, Pfeiffer shared an old picture of the pair as well as a new one that showed them still together many years later: In sum, no, Pfeiffer does not have a wife. She is married to Kelley, a man. The ad was nothing more than misleading clickbait that led to an extremely lengthy 68-page article.
