NASCAR driver Josh Berry might have walked the same high school hallways as Taylor Swift, but he’s learned his lesson about discussing his former classmate.
“It’s one of those things when you’re doing an interview one day and somebody’s like, ‘Hey, what’s a funny, crazy story about you?’” Berry, 34, said on a recent episode of the “Rubbin’ Is Racing” podcast. “I’m like, ‘Oh, I went to school with Taylor Swift.’ You don’t think that’s that big of a deal. But good gosh, man. It never ends.”
Berry and Swift, 35, both attended Henderson High School in Henderson, Tennessee. Swift completed 9th and 10th grades at the school before transferring to Aaron Academy, which offered homeschooling, to accommodate her blossoming music career.
“She was in a different grade,” Berry explained. “I didn’t really know her. I know of somebody who knew her kind of deal. But I didn’t really know her.”
“Then she starts dating Travis Kelce and it all comes back again,” Berry lamented. “I’m like, ‘I don’t care about Travis Kelce. He has nothing to do with me.’ It just never ends.”
Though he didn’t attend Henderson High, Berry also grew up near Indycar superstar Josef Newgarden, who was a student at Pope Saint John Paul II Preparatory School, less than 5 miles away in the same town.
“With Josef, we were both in school at the same time but we really didn’t know each of us raced,” Berry said. “He didn’t really know I raced, I didn’t really know he raced. We were around each other, but didn’t really connect the dots.”

Swift and her family moved from Pennsylvania to Hendersonville in 2004 so the burgeoning superstar could be closer to a prosperous music scene. When Swift’s mother, Andrea, informed former Henderson High School principal Paul Decker about those plans, he recalled being skeptical.

“Being at Hendersonville High School and as much music as there is in this area, I thought, ‘You don’t know how many times I’ve heard that right here in this office,’” Decker told WKRN-TV Nashville in a story published on Friday, April 11. “But I did say, ‘Well, I hope it works out for you.’”
Swift’s former teacher, Lile Rogers, told the outlet that she was “very nice and very sweet and not a diva at all.”
Pittsburgh Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw is setting the record straight amid rumors that he helped a plane full of trapped people escape.
After flying into Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, April 10, the plane he and other passengers were on experienced a malfunction. According to CBS News, the airplane’s door was stuck and as a result, the passengers were unable to exit the aircraft.
Several passengers claimed that Bradshaw, that in an effort to aid the flight crew, lent a helping hand, eventually forcing the stuck door opened so he and the other passengers could get to their final destination.
One of the passengers on the plane, Selah Holland, told CBS News at the time that “the pilot” made an announcement “and you could kind of hear he was chuckling as he said it.”
“But he said, ‘Thanks to the strength of one of our passengers, we were finally able to get the door open,’” Holland continued, “and I think we all knew he was alluding to Mr. Bradshaw.”
Gamble told CBS News affiliate KDKA-TV that people were aware Bradshaw was on the flight. Holland claimed another passenger made the comment that Bradshaw should “bust down the door,” but Holland didn’t think Bradshaw could do it being 76 years old.
“I mean honestly I was just ready to get off the flight, but the guy next to me had the joke that they should have him bust down the door, and I was like, ‘Well, maybe he could a few years ago.’ So I’m definitely eating my words,” Holland explained, noting that the story will be “a good one for family dinners and parties and all that.”
However, it’s not a true story. Bradshaw was on the plane but has since clarified that he was not needed to open the plane door.
“Just to set the record straight,” Bradshaw wrote in a post shared via Instagram on Friday, April 11. “I did nothing to open the door on the plane! The maintenance crew had it open in 15 [minutes].”
Bradshaw played his entire career as a quarterback for the Steelers from 1970 to 1983. He led the franchise to four Super Bowl wins in a six-year period from 1974 to 1979.
According to CBS News, Bradshaw traveled to Pittsburgh on April 10 to celebrate his first-ever Super Bowl win at a dinner thrown by fellow teammate, former Steelers cornerback Mel Blount, 50 years after the fact.
Blount joined the team the same year and retired from the sport the same year as Bradshaw.
Fans joked on social media that Bradshaw should come out of retirement to help the Steelers as the team continues to struggle to find a franchise quarterback after the original story was shared online.
“Any chance he could play QB1?” a fan asked.
“Steelers so down bad at QB they flying out Bradshaw to sign him,” another commenter joked.
Olivia Munn is channeling major rich mom energy this spring thanks to a wardrobe staple. On April 9, the actress — who has two little ones herself — braved the cool New York City weather wearing a classic beige trench coat. While it’s always tricky to dress for this time of year, Munn’s transitional layer proved this piece never goes out of style, and luckily, we found an affordable lookalike on Amazon.
A mainstay in the viral quiet luxury aesthetic, a beige trench coat is one of the most versatile and chic spring layers you can buy. While the Your Friends & Neighbors star looked ever-so-classy in an all-beige ensemble, a trench is easy to layer over jeans, fancy dresses and even shorts. The best part? You don’t have to have a movie star budget to get one. Simply pop over to Amazon and check out this $56 version, which looks way more expensive than its price tag.
Not only is the Makkrom Double Breasted Long Trench Coat both functional and fashionable, it’s the perfect way to channel Munn’s effortlessly elegant look. Like the actress’s pick, it has a relaxed fit, collared neck and front buttons. The Amazon option, however, is also double-breasted and includes notched lapels and side pockets.
Great for ever-changing spring weather, the Makkrom design is made from a blend of cotton and polyester, which ensures it’s both breathable and durable. The belted waist will help keep it closed while cinching your waist and highlighting your silhouette. While the under-$60 option comes in classic beige like Munn’s luxe alternative, there are also a few other colorways for shoppers to choose from, like black, olive and white. Find it in sizes S to XXL.
The affordable trench coat has also proven to be a hit, earning over 900 five-star ratings on Amazon. It also solidified a spot on the retailer’s bestseller list for trench coats.
One shopper raved about the “lightweight” feel that’s “perfect for unpredictable weather,” noting that it keeps them dry “without feeling bulky or heavy.”
“The material is soft yet durable, and the design is sleek and modern,” they said. “I love how comfortable it is to wear throughout the day.”
A spring coat is an important purchase, so it’s wise to browse through a few options before deciding on one. If you love Munn’s trench coat but want to make sure you’re shopping the right one for you, check out our other favorite beige trench coat options below.
Yet, the Jason Momoa movie isn’t for everyone and those who prefer their entertainment to be less frantic and noisy are likely to look elsewhere.
Streaming is always a safe bet, and Watch with Us has three great recommendations for you to choose from this weekend. All you need is a Max subscription and some free time to watch an underrated comedy starring Steve Martin, a fascinating documentary about one of the most popular directors ever or a drama starring a young Julia Roberts.
‘The Big Year’ (2011)
With a cast that included Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson, how could The Big Year fail? Yet the Dravid Frankel movie was a major flop 14 years ago — maybe a comedy about birdwatching wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea during the Obama years.
“The Big Year” refers to an informal competition among birdwatchers to see who can identify the most bird species within a calendar year by sight or sound. This is a challenge that appeals to three different men for three different reasons. Brad (Black) wants to win and regain some of the professional and personal dignity he lost after his marriage ended in divorce and his failed career at Dell. Stu (Martin) is nearing retirement and is afraid he’ll have nothing to do or look forward to. Kenny (Wilson) just wants to hold onto his “Big Year” record of identifying 732 different birds.
The Big Year isn’t a laugh-out-loud comedy — its humor is more subtle and observational than what you’d expect in a movie starring Black. The trio of actors all have wildly different comedic styles, and that’s what makes The Big Year work — it’s fun to see these three men clash and bond while trying to outdo each other by identifying as many Callippe hummingbirds and Eurasian teals as they can.
The movie plays better at home than it does on a big screen, and it’s good to watch if you want to go outside (the film features stunning cinematography of the Vancouver wilderness) but are too lazy to do so.
Everyone has seen a Steven Spielberg movie — the famed director has helmed some of the most popular movies of all time, including Jaws, the first four Indiana Jones films, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Jurassic Park. But few know about his childhood in Arizona, his teen years in California or how he got his start in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a novice filmmaker. (The Fabelmans, the director’s fictional take on his childhood, flopped at the box office.)
Spielberg, the 2017 documentary by Susan Lacy, fills in the blanks superbly by using archival footage from Spielberg’s early TV work on such shows as Night Gallery and Columbo, as well as his later film hits like Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Color Purple, Schindler’s List and Minority Report.
Lacy also interviews most of the director’s key collaborators like Harrison Ford, John Williams and Tom Hanks as well as peers like Martin Scorsese and George Lucas to gain insight into what makes him tick. The documentary is always fascinating and never dry, and is about as fun as one of Steven’s blockbusters.
Every actor needs to start somewhere, and for some, it can be a long time before they are discovered. That wasn’t the case for Julia Roberts, who became someone to watch with just her third picture, the indie comedy Mystic Pizza.
Roberts stars as Daisy Araujo, a young waitress working with her sister Kat (Annabeth Gish) at a pizza parlor in Mystic, Connecticut. The sisters are complete opposites — Kat is bookish and wants to attend Yale while Daisy just wants to have fun (and that usually involves sleeping around). When Kat begins having an affair with a married man, the two sisters’ relationship is tested. Will their strong sibling bond survive the twin challenges of adulthood and working in the service industry?
Mystic Pizza sounds serious, and while certain elements are played for drama, the film is mostly light and breezy. The cast is full of future stars like Lili Taylor and Vincent D’Onofrio, but the film belongs to Roberts. With her trademark megawatt smile and mass of red curls, she shows in Mystic Pizza all the qualities that would make her a worldwide star in Pretty Woman two years later.
While Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal back-and-forth has captured the attention of millions and drawn comments from many stars, some celebrities haven’t weighed in despite having a connection to the case.
Lively and Baldoni’s drama began when they worked together on It Ends With Us, a film adaptation of Colleen Hoover‘s novel. Rumors swirled of a feud between Lively and Baldoni began when the film premiered in August 2024. However, it wasn’t until four months later when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni. She accused her costar of sexual harassment and allegedly organizing a smear campaign against her.
Baldoni, for his part, denied the allegations. He subsequently countersued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Sloane. In the $400 million lawsuit, Baldoni accused the group of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and other claims. Lively, Reynolds and Sloane have all filed motions to be removed. The legal battle is ongoing and scheduled for trial in 2026.
As Lively and Baldoni’s legal battle has proceeded in court, many A-Listers have been mentioned in various court documents. In addition to Lively and Baldoni’s It Ends With Us costars, other celebrities Lively has worked with in the past have been referenced. Even Lively’s BFF Taylor Swift was name dropped. While many of the It Ends With Us cast have weighed in, other stars have remained silent.
Keep scrolling to see which stars who we have yet to hear from about Lively and Baldoni’s legal case:
Taylor Swift

In a January 2025 filing from Baldoni, the director included a series of text messages between him and Lively. In one exchange, Baldoni appeared to reference Swift while discussing Lively’s adjustments to the now-infamous rooftop scene from the movie.
“Was working on rooftop scene today, I really love what you did. It really does hep [sic] a lot. Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan and Taylor),” Baldoni’s texts read alongside a winking face emoji. “You really are a talent across the board. Really excited nd [sic] grateful to do this together.”
In Lively’s alleged response the actress wrote, “That’s very appreciated. And means a lot. I’m deeply inspired by the films and we’re gonna make outside of the success of the book. We have such an opportunity to not surprise people who love the book but reach an even bigger audience by making an undeniably dynamic and also commercial film.”
At another point in the lawsuit, Baldoni also mentioned an unnamed “megacelebrity” which has been speculated to be Swift. Lively referred to the megacelebrity and her husband as her “dragons” while comparing herself to Game of Thrones character Khaleesi.
Swift has not publicly addressed Lively’s drama. However, a source previously told Us Weekly in March 2025 that the singer “wasn’t happy with being brought into the legal mess.”

Lively and Meester worked together for years on Gossip Girl. There has been speculation over the years that the pair did not get along on set of the CW drama. However neither Lively or Meester have addressed the claims.
In Lively’s lawsuit, Meester was referenced alongside several others who have worked with Lively in the past in an alleged “scenario planning” document drafted by Baldoni’s team.
“Our recommended approach would be to provide reporters who reach out for comment, should it be obvious she’s referring to you, with the appropriate background information (listed in Scenario 1) to ensure their stories are balanced and the speculation can be turned to another one of the many people she’s had issues working with (Leighton Meester, Anna Kendrick, Ben Affleck, etc.),” the docs read.
Meester has not spoken out about Lively’s case.
Hailey Bieber

In Lively’s lawsuit, Baldoni allegedly brought up Bieber as an example for an “astroturfing” plan against Lively. Astroturfing is the practice of publishing opinions or comments on the internet, in the media that appear to come from ordinary members of the public but actually come from a particular company or political group.
Baldoni allegedly sent a screenshot of a social media thread titled “Hailey Bieber’s history of bullying women” and a text response that read, “This is what we would need.”
The Rhode founder has not addressed the lawsuit mention.
Anna Kendrick

Much like Meester, there was speculation that Kendrick and Lively did not get along while working on their 2018 film A Simple Favor — which is why she was allegedly named in the text exchange.
While neither actress addressed the rumors, they reunited for the 2025 sequel Another Simple Favor, and a source told Us that there was no bad blood between Lively and Kendrick.
“There aren’t any issues between Blake and Anna right now,” the insider explained in February 2025, noting that the pair “really love” the sequel and planned to “be doing press together.”
Lively and Kendrick attended the premiere for Another Simple Favor at SXSW in March 2025. While on the red carpet, Kendrick was asked about how the sequel was “impacted” by what’s “going on in the world,” which was a possible reference to Lively’s legal battle against. Kendrick played coy in her response.
“Why? What happened? I did ayahuasca and the last year of my life has been gone,” she deadpanned before hyping up Another Simple Favor. “But I hear the movie is amazing.”
Ben Affleck

Affleck and Lively worked together on the film The Town in 2010. In the movie, they played love interests and shared multiple intimate scenes. At the time, Affleck praised Lively for being “very poised and comfortable about it — more mature than some of the crew members.” However, after wrapping up the project, speculation sparked that there was tension between Affleck and Lively. However, neither have addressed it.
Affleck has not publicly spoken about the lawsuit.
Isabela Ferrer
Ferrer played the young version of Lively’s character Lily Bloom in It Ends With Us. In an amended version of Baldoni’s lawsuit, the actor included a text message he received from Ferrer where she thanked him for the positive experience she had on set.
“Just got my film developed from when we were shooting so here’s this sweet pic! I also have to say thank you SO much for an incredible experience on my first film. I still can’t shake the feeling of it all because it truly was life changing for me,” she allegedly wrote, per In Touch. “You are such a wonderful, smart and sincere director and you created such a comfortable, safe space for me to feel like I could fully step into this role. I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming environment. It will stay with me for the rest of my life!!!”
Ferrer has not publicly addressed the drama between her costars.
Shields, 59, showed off her daring sartorial prowess while posing on the red carpet at the AMC Networks Upfront in New York City on Wednesday, April 9. The actress gave fans a look at her bra in a sheer mesh top, which revealed her black lingerie underneath.
Shields layered a cropped blazer over her top. She added a pop of glitter to her ensemble with crystal-embellished shorts that shimmered with every step she took. Shields tied her look together with sheer black tights, pointed-toe leather booties and a coordinating clutch.
Shields’ trendy look didn’t stop there. The former supermodel and now founder of Commence haircare added a pop of color to her look with neon pink hoop earrings, which she teamed with white huggie earrings in her other piercings.
For glam, Shields donned soft makeup, including a light-coverage foundation, long lashes, white eyeshadow and pink glossy lips. She completed her look with her brunette hair parted down the side and styled in big, bouncy curls.

This isn’t the first time Shields has shown off her figure as of late. Earlier this week, she posed on the beach in an India Hicks x Sea Level Australia bikini, featuring a white plunging top adorned with a black hem. She matched the piece, which showed off her curves, with coordinating bottoms equipped with a super thin strap.
Shields accessorized with layered gold, teal and silver bracelets. She closed her eyes as she soaked up the sun and let her brunette strands flow in the wind.
“Wearing my brand new @indiahicksstyle x @sealevelaustralia bathing suit!!” she captioned the post. “Swipe to the end for a special guest star ,” she wrote, referencing an adorable pic of her cuddling with her adorable pup, Tuzi.
In addition to breaking her silence about her breakup from Grant Ellis, The Bachelor runner-up Litia Garr addressed winner Juliana Pasquarosa’s comments about her “mean girl” behavior.
Litia, 31, did her first post-show interview on the Friday, April 11, episode of the “Relationsh*t with Kamie Crawford” podcast. At the end of their chat, host Kamie Crawford asked about Juliana’s comment about “mean girls.” (On the “Viall Files” podcast last month, Juliana replied “definitely” when host Nick Viall asked if Litia’s finale actions felt “mean girl.”)
“I meant everything that I said. I think Juliana is beautiful, and I think she’s great, and anything that I’ve done that has been offensive to someone — that’s not my intention,” Litia said on Friday. “To me, the friendships that I have with the women in my season, that’s where I’ve invested time — in cultivating a friendship with them. So my friendships and any support that I get from them is the result of lots of FaceTimes and messages and checking in on each other and being there for each other. It’s friendship.”
While Litia has stayed close with several cast members from Grant’ season, often sharing content with them on social media, Juliana, 28, has stood by new fiancé Grant, 31.
“I feel bad that that hasn’t been her experience. That’s not my intention. I’m not gonna make my friendship smaller or ask my friends not to support me. I’m not gonna ask them to support me or to pick anything [either],” Litia continued. “They’re all their own people, and they’re supporting the people that they want to. And I think everyone, as far as I’m concerned, supports everyone. The women have all had their own, you know, issues with Grant and things right to them, and I think that’s important to remember. It’s not necessarily anything to do with her. It’s probably more to do with him. I can only speak for myself.”
During the March 24 finale of the ABC series, Litia was blindsided by Grant’s decision to break up with her and get engaged to Juliana. While Juliana initially claimed she didn’t watch the episode — during which Litia detailed all the reassurance Grant gave her — she has since tuned in, and had choice words for Litia.

“I think my feelings were the most hurt by Litia,” Juliana told former Bachelor Nick. “I don’t think that that was expected in any capacity. I think we’ve talked between filming and even when this whole show was airing. I did my best to check in with her. I thought there was a good relationship but it seems like actions since AFR and moving forward have not been the kindest and that took me by surprise and my feelings were hurt by it for sure.”
One of the moments that upset Juliana was Litia saying that she should have “a lot of questions” for Grant if she got engaged to him.
“I think the first stab that I felt was when she brought my name up in the breakup. I think that that was uncalled for,” Juliana said. “Then to continue to make kind of those jabs on stage, saying she is glad that this isn’t a part of her love story and that she deserves a man that’s not so confused up until the last second, when Grant and I know the reality of it and that was strictly a jab at me, I think that those things took me back.”
Juliana added that she didn’t want the other women on the show not to support Litia, but feels slighted by the group as a whole after getting engaged to Grant.
“I want her to be supported. I’m not saying by any means that I don’t want her to feel like she has a girl gang behind her lifting her up because I can’t imagine what it’s like to get to that point and maybe have your heart and your ego bruised,” she said. “But I think at the end of the day, I had relations with a lot of the girls and at no point were they making digs at him or our relationship. Where now it’s like, maybe that’s a platform that’s being used for whatever purpose it is but it’s hurtful and it’s not anything I want to surround myself with at any point in my life.”
On Friday, Litia further addressed Juliana’s remarks and expanded on their relationship.
“There’s so many FaceTimes and texts between her and I that don’t have any bad blood. That was new information to me, when she felt that way,” Litia said. “It’s interesting that more than, like, the interpersonal dynamics of feeling left out by something or feeling a type of way watching it back, it’s not as much that interaction that creates the divide, it becomes polarizing when the internet gets involved. It’s hard not to hold it against that person when, ‘Why aren’t you stopping this hate? Can’t you see all the negativity that I’m getting?’ It’s easy for you to say that that’s not true, or if that’s actually how you feel, to talk to me about it privately. And at this point on our season — almost everyone has had a healthy dose of hateful comments and misconceptions — and so to me, to perpetuate hateful comments and narratives toward someone else is the thing that actually creates the divide. It’s less about what you actually did to me, and it’s the conversation that you let continue when we could have resolved this privately that makes it so that we can’t be close.”
Litia said that while the show was airing, the group was “all very supportive of each other and very aware” that being on the show is a “weird” and unique experience.
“We don’t need to be best friends, but in any way that I felt like I could, I wanted to stick up for anyone getting hate, even though we weren’t necessarily close, because we’re all in this together, and we’re all going through it for the first time,” she added.
Brandi Glanvillerevealed she’s been celibate for two years amid her ongoing health struggles.
“[My celibacy is] not by choice, but yeah, because I’ve lost my security in my looks,” the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 52, revealed on the Thursday, April 10, episode of Tori Spelling’s “Misspelling” podcast. “I’m so insecure. I isolate in Calabasas. I don’t leave my house.”
Glanville and Spelling appeared to bond over their recent personal troubles, as the Beverly Hills, 90210 actress is going through a divorce with estranged husband Dean McDermott. The two joked that there are three types of men they want to avoid in their future dating lives.
“I feel like actors, athletes and musicians, they can’t be faithful,” Glanville advised. “Those three are off the table.”
She went on, “I have this theory — there can only be one star in the relationship.”
Glanville has addressed a litany of health issues in recent months. In December 2024, the former RHOBH cast member confirmed she’d spent $70,000 trying to remove facial parasites.
The reality star said she’d undergone “every test under the sun” to determine the root of her ongoing facial swelling and speech difficulty, which made it impossible for her to work for the past two years.
Glanville subsequently clarified that her doctors were not able to identify what caused these parasites, though she suspected it may have been related to her trip to Morocco for The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in January 2023.
“We had food sitting out for hours on end and some of it was meat. In Morocco,” she told ET in December. “Six months after I got back from Morocco, I started having this speaking thing and the swelling up thing, it started in July and we’re still here trying to figure it out.”

Additionally, Glanville blamed the emotional duress she endured following UGT filming in 2023, when she and costar Caroline Manzo left early due to Glanville allegedly kissing Manzo multiple times without her consent.
Bravo and Shed Media, the company that produces UGT, said an internal investigation into the alleged incident had been conducted. Manzo, 63, filed a lawsuit against Bravo and its production companies in January 2024 over the alleged “traumatic” encounter with Glanville.
During her appearance on the “Misspelling” podcast, Glanville insisted that “all [her] jobs” were “canceled” in the wake of the UGT scandal.
“It went from ‘gave her a lap dance’ to ‘kissed her unwantingly’ to ‘sexually harrassed her’ and then to rape,” Glanville said. “I was supposed to go to Australia after [UGT]. I had all these jobs lined up, and everything was canceled. I’m like, ‘Just wait for the show to air at least, like, come on.’”
Bravo and Peacock have yet to air Glanville’s season of UGT and there has been no indication an air date is forthcoming. Glanville previously told Us Weekly she wanted the season — which also features Camille Grammer, Alex McCord, Gretchen Rossi, Phaedra Parks, Vicki Gunvalson and Eva Marcille — to air so people could reach their own conclusions.
Glanville acknowledged in her “Misspelling” appearance that she contemplated “suicide” because she was being called “horrible things” for six months after UGT wrapped production.
“It’s ruined my life,” she added.

While chatting exclusively with Us Weekly on The Valley season 2 premiere red carpet on Thursday, April 10, Kristen, 42, revealed there are “definitely” cast members from the Bravo series who are “not on my baby shower or my birthday invite list.” She added, “So, they’re definitely not on the wedding list.”
Though Kristen didn’t specify which of her costars didn’t make the cut, she teased, “I think if you watch season 2, you’ll be able to figure out promptly who that would be.”
The show’s season 2 trailer, released last month, teased more tense moments between Kristen and castmate Janet Caperna. In the first seven minutes of season 2, which Bravo debuted on Thursday, Kristen states that Janet is “dead to me.”
Kristen didn’t confirm whether Janet will get an invite for her upcoming events, but teased to Us on Thursday that she may have said some things about her costar that were “a little harsh.” She explained, “I feel like I did say some things that were a little harsh, but slightly true in the moment. I just speak about how I feel at the time. I’m never wrong in the moment.”
All drama aside, Kristen and Luke, 33, are gearing up to become first-time parents. The couple got engaged after two years of dating in September 2024 and announced they are expecting their first child together two months later. In December 2024, Us exclusively confirmed that the pair are set to welcome a baby girl.

“I’m feeling pretty decent right now. It’s a tough first pregnancy,” Kristen told Us at Thursday’s premiere. “I didn’t really know what to expect. I don’t know if it’s my age or what it is, but [I’m] super grateful, super excited and ready for her to be here.”
Luke, for his part, noted that he’s “as I can be without doing it before.”
Because of the baby preparation, the couple have put their wedding planning on hold. “It’s non-existent. Baby planning first” Kristen quipped, to which Luke added, “[We have to] get our footing with the baby, and then, we’ll start discussing [the wedding].”
As for what they envision for their big day, Kristen told Us they are hoping to plan a “destination wedding” due to the amount of family and friends they hope to invite.
“Isn’t that why people do destination weddings, so you can invite everyone and then they’re like, ‘I couldn’t possibly make it.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I’m so sorry,’” she stated.
For right now, Luke said their guest list will consist of close family and “the tightest people to us outside of our blood.”

The duo even teased their future plans to expand their family. “We would really like to have two and we don’t know, ’cause we did IUI this time around and I don’t know what that journey looks like for us,” Kristen told Us, noting that she’s unsure if she can “imagine being pregnant for another year.”
She added, “I think we’ll figure it out like after [our baby] gets here and like, ‘OK, how quickly can I handle it and how quickly can he handle me?’”
The Valley season 2 premieres on Bravo Tuesday, April 15, at 9 p.m. ET.
