‘The Challenge’ Alums Kaycee Clark, Nany González Call Off Engagement
The Challenge alums Kaycee Clark and Nany González have called it quits more than a year after announcing their engagement.
“After a lot of reflection, Kaycee and I have decided to go our separate ways,” the couple wrote in a joint statement shared to Instagram Stories on Wednesday, January 25.
“This definitely wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s what’s best for the both of us,” they wrote.
It continued: “Thank you to everyone who supported us along the way — we’re both moving forward with love and kindness in our hearts & we ask that you respect our need for privacy at this time.”
All 'The Challenge' Couples Who Are Still Going Strong
Clark, 37, and González, 36, met while filming season 35 of The Challenge: Total Madness in 2019. The pair weren’t linked romantically until two years later, when they started posting photos with one another on Instagram.
During an interview with Us Weekly in August 2022, Clark and González revealed they were “super excited” about their future and said they had discussed the possibility of marriage and kids.
“We have talked about it a lot. The next step, obviously, would be marriage,” González told Us at the time.
“And then, of course, after that would be children and that, obviously, would, you know, come with IVF and all of that. So that’s definitely something that we’re going to look into eventually and we’re super excited about just our future together,” she added.
The former couple announced their engagement in a video posted to Instagram on September 17, 2023.
In the clip, which appears to have since been deleted, the pair could be seen walking, dancing, and embracing on a beach on Thailand’s Phi Phi Islands. The video ended with González getting down on one knee next to a sign lit up in a fire that read, “Will U Marry Me.”
'The Challenge' Controversies Through the Years
“From the moment I met this woman, I knew that she was someone special,” the caption read.
“Our paths crossed in the most unexpected way, and I am forever grateful for that chance encounter. My heart is full of love and gratitude for the joy you have brought into my life, Kaycee Noelle.”
'The Challenge' Alums Jenna and Zach Are Expecting Baby No. 4
The Challenge alums Jenna Compono and Zach Nichols are getting ready to welcome their fourth baby.
“Because 3 kids wasn’t chaotic enough ,” Compono, 32, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, January 25. “Baby #4 coming August 2025 .”
Compono uploaded a portrait of kids Anthony, 3, Liliana, 2, and Carmella, 11 months, sitting in order of their ages below balloons that read “1,” “2” or “3.” Below a “4” balloon was a framed sonogram photo with the words “Coming Soon.”
Nichols, 37, reshared the announcement via his own Instagram Story later that day.
Several of the couple’s Challenge costars shared their excitement in the Instagram comments.

“Congrats ,” Tori Deal replied, while Kailah Casillas asked, “When ya buying the school bus? so happy for you .”
Compono and Nichols met while filming The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 in 2015, going on to date on and off. Nichols ultimately proposed in December 2019 before they said “I do” two years later in March 2021. Compono found out she was pregnant with son Anthony one month before their nuptials. He was born in September 2021.
“Zach got to see him before me while he held my leg and watched him come out,” she exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “But when he was put on my chest and we both got to see him, it was amazing. We made this adorable little life. It’s truly the best feeling ever. We haven’t put him down once yet; we are completely obsessed.”
Compono added, “We are looking forward to bringing Anthony home and just having fun being parents. Zach is super hands-on and I can honestly say I haven’t changed one diaper yet. He continues to impress me every day, and you can easily see that being a dad came so naturally for him.”
Compono and Nichols welcomed their second child, daughter Liliana, in December 2022. Carmella followed in February 2024.
“The greatest gift we ever gave you was each other,” Compono gushed via Instagram in November 2024, sharing footage of the three siblings.
The Challenge’s Most Memorable (and Messiest!) Relationships
While the reality TV alums have their hands full with almost four kids, they might not be done expanding their brood. In 2020, Compono ruled out another Challenge stint because of their family plans.
“We want six kids,” she said in an Instagram Story Q&A at the time.

‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Then vs. Now: How Cast Looked Pre-Hulu Show
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fans have watched the cast change on and off screen before the series even debuted.
Season 1 of hit reality series, which follows a group of Mormon mom influencers, debuted on Hulu in September 2024 following star Taylor Frankie Paul‘s “soft swinging” sex scandal.
“We’re not all swingers,” Whitney Leavitt exclusively told Us Weekly at the time despite the scandal not affecting her “all all” in the months after the drama. “I think it’d be different if I was actually involved in it, but I wasn’t, so I just took the clout from it.”
Mayci Neely had the same takeaway, sharing with Us, “We’re not all swingers. You can be Mormon and wear a crop top and leggings as well. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be the stereotypical Mormon that people think we’re all supposed to be.”
In June 2022, Taylor revealed via TikTok that her marriage to husband Tate Paul in the aftermath of the drama.
“I guess I’m pretty much known from my headlines of Swinger Mom,” Taylor exclusively told Us. “For the show, I really wanted them to see me and more of me and my personality and a deeper level. I feel like I come off so different online than I actually am in a conversation. So I felt like this was my chance to tell my story and get a deeper look into who I am.”
Layla Taylor, meanwhile, showed sympathy for Taylor’s situation.
“It was just having to remember that we’re all human and that we make mistakes,”she shared with Us. “It was a very difficult situation and it’s so public what she had to go through, and I think she handled it the best way that she could. I just forgive her because she handled it the way that she could at that moment.”
During an interview with Us, Mikayla Matthews slapped the “general” misunderstanding about MomTok.
“We’re not all just this perfect united front,” she told Us. “I feel like on social media, everyone’s like, ‘Oh, there’s these eight faces on the screen and they’re all dressed in the same outfit. They look unified, they look put together,’ and our show really kind of cuts back on all of that, all the perception. We’re normal, I guess.”

Sutton Foster Supports Hugh Jackman Opening Night of His Radio City NYC Show
Sutton Foster was all smiles as she supported boyfriend Hugh Jackman at opening night of his Radio City Music Hall Show From New York, With Love.
Foster, 49, attended the first night of Jackman’s concert on Friday, January 24, in a black sequined dress and matching coat — as seen in photos obtained by People. The Broadway icon was joined at the show by Jackman’s pals: Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds, who also made a surprise appearance in the crowd for an impromptu “Hugh & A” session.
Reynolds, 48, raved about Jackman, 56, telling the crowd, “I wanted to actually just say, I love this man, I care about this man. He is genuinely the best human being I know. And I have 4 children!”
He added that Jackman was “my gotcha for life,” even though, Reynolds claimed, “I’m his second-best friend.”
Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman’s Relationship Timeline
Perhaps his first best friend is Foster, who has also praised Jackman in the past after the duo starred together in Broadway’s revival of The Music Man in 2022, portraying Professor Harold Hill and Marian Paroo, respectively.
“He’s one of the greatest guys ever, an incredible costar,” she told People last year. “And yeah, I think everyone already knows that, though.”
Sources previously told Us Weekly that Foster and Jackman’s friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship during their The Music Man run — and while they were still married to other people. Jackman and his wife of 27 years, Deborra-lee Furness, announced their split in September 2023, while; Foster filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin in October 2024 after 10 years of marriage.
“Sutton and Hugh’s relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced,” a source close to Foster told Us in November 2024. “A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”
According to the source, Jackman and Foster “are really happy now.”
The pair were spotted kissing inside a car at an In-N-Out restaurant in the San Fernando Valley earlier this month, and were also photographed out on a date night in Santa Monica. Now, the duo is seemingly back at their home base on the East Coast as Jackman is set to perform seven more weekends at Radio City in 2025 and Foster will appear in Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream one-night-only show at the St. James Theatre on Monday, February 3, alongside the likes of Ben Platt and Rachel Zegler.
No word yet on if Jackman will support his latest love at the event, but he did cheer Foster on during a performance of Once Upon a Mattress in Los Angeles on January 4.
In 2022, Foster told Vogue that Jackman had become one of her closest friends thanks to The Music Man — and noted that they even had family get-togethers. (Jackman and Furness, 69, adopted son Oscar, 24, in 2000 and daughter Ava, 19, in 2005; Foster and Griffin are parents to Emily, 7, who they adopted in 2017.)
“You usually go into these things thinking, ‘Well, I hope we get along,’ ” she explained, “but we just spent Memorial Day with our families.”
Everything Hugh Jackman, Sutton Foster Said About Each Other Before Romance
Foster also revealed that she and Jackman used to sit on the floor of her dressing room and chat before each show. “It’s such a wonderful thing,” Foster said during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan. “We just talk and catch up on our day. That’s been one of the best parts of the whole thing,” she added, “that I’ve made this wonderful new friend.”
Jackman raved about their friendship in a December 2021 Instagram post, writing of Foster, “You’re an exceptional talent and friend. Your joy brings the entire company of @musicmanbway to life. I can’t wait for the world to see you as Marian. They are in for an explosion of awesome.”

Celebs Who've Been Host and Musical Guest on the Same 'SNL' Episode
Being asked to host or perform on an episode of Saturday Night Live is a big deal in and of itself — but even more so when a star gets the chance to do both in one night.
Harry Styles joined the impressive club in November 2019, making fans laugh in several sketches before crooning his hit songs “Lights Up” and “Watermelon Sugar” for the Studio 8H crowd.
“It is so great to be here hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time. I’m so excited to be here as more than just a musical guest, [it] feels amazing,” Styles — who previously performed on the NBC show four times — gushed in his monologue. “It feels like when you find out someone likes you as more than just a friend. Saturday Night Live and I have taken things to the next level and just like all my serious relationships, we’re all gonna spend one incredible night together, and then we’ll never see each other again.”
While Styles insisted that music was his No. 1 priority, he still had room for busting out his comedy chops, spending time with loved ones and having great hair. “I love being here at SNL. It has so much history,” Styles gushed.
Scroll below for a look back at which stars have been both the SNL host and musical guest during the same episode:
