Jennifer Sheffield celebrated the positives about her and Brandon Sheffield’s divorce in an ominous TikTok post weeks before they were both found dead in what authorities are alleging is an apparent murder-suicide.
“So, I’m about to be a newly single mom. I am in the middle of divorce,” Jennifer said in a video shared via TikTok on December 10, 2024. “My husband is being incredible, though, really and truly … we’re working together. Everything’s great.”
The 30-year-old TikTok personality appeared upbeat and happy as she recorded the video while driving around Mississippi.
“We’re splitting everything down the middle. Everything is good,” she said of her relationship with her estranged husband, Brandon, 40, at the time. “It is a very civil divorce with our daughter in mind.”
Jennifer confessed that since she was going to be a mom with a “single income,” she was reaching out to her network for tips on keeping costs down.
She noted that Brandon would be “helping” with the fees associated with their daughter once the divorce was finalized. “He will be supporting her, so essentially, like, I’m really thankful for that and that I will not have to worry so much about supporting her,” Jennifer continued.

However, she pointed out that she will be on a “very limited income with buying a new house,” and expressed concerns over branching out from Brandon, saying, “I’ve never done this before. I’ve never been on my own before.”
Jennifer concluded, “If you have any tips I would really appreciate it because I’m a little scared right now.”
The positive message about her relationship with Brandon amid their divorce was shared 18 days before Jennifer and Brandon were found dead on December 28, 2024, in Brandon, Mississippi, around 7:19 a.m. local time. Brandon Police Department chief Joseph French confirmed their deaths to Dark Horse Press Now that same day.
Authorities arrived on scene after receiving a welfare check call from Jennifer’s family, who reported signs of foul play.
The police chief reportedly told the outlet that it “appears that Brandon Sheffield shot Jennifer Sheffield and then shot himself,” before adding that the authorities were working with the theory that their deaths were the result of an apparent murder-suicide.
“This is an ongoing investigation,” French told ABC affiliate WJTV in a statement on December 28. “I would like to thank the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation for their assistance with the Crime Scene Unit to assist with processing the scene.”
Prior to her death, Jennifer documented her life as a mom in Mississippi, who was focused on getting into medical school. She had more than 6,500 followers and over 100,000 likes on her more recent videos.
The Kardashians star revealed in March 2020 that her sister Kendall Jenner and pal La La Anthony were responsible for her tuning in for season 1. “Alright @KendallJenner and @lala got me to watch Love Is Blind and I’m obsessed!!!!!!!!!” she shared via social media at the time.
Love Is Blind debuted in February 2020 on Netflix and followed a group of singles as they tried to make a connection — and get engaged — without seeing one another.
With six seasons of drama as of 2024, the series has continued to draw in viewers and celebrity fans, like Bachelorette alum Thurston.
“I just finished episode 6 of #loveisblind2 and all I’m gonna say is I’m #teamnatalie and just want her to be happy,” Thurston shared via social media in February 2022.

The Wicked actress told W magazine in her January 2025 cover story that Love Is Blind is “probably” her favorite reality show. “That series is just fantastic to me,” she told the publication at the time.
Grande revealed that after watching each season, she’ll “go to Instagram and find these people and make sure they're still together. I need to know what's happening.”
“I just finished all seven seasons of Love Is Blind,” Lopez exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2024, confessing, “I couldn’t change that f—ing channel for a week.”
“What is your Roman Empire?” Logan Lerman asked King in a March 2024 BuzzFeed interview while promoting their show We Were the Lucky Ones. “I feel like it’s like Love Is Blind.”
She responded, “Hey, that’s true. Yeah, I love that show. I don’t think it’s necessarily my Roman Empire, but I do adore it.”
“Well, I’m obsessed with that show, so I have seen that,” Stewart said on a “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast episode in March 2024. “I’ve seen all of them.
I’ve seen every single moment. I’ve seen all of it.” Stewart noted that she likes watching the couples that get engaged quickly “because you’re like, ‘Thank you, Jesus, you just liked each other.’” She added, “I like the boring ones, the other ones are, like, scary.”
"I really love to sleep and lie around. I love on a Sunday to not do anything, watch rubbish TV and not make dinner and order in food. I really need one slovenly day," she told London's The Sunday Times in March 2024. “Oh my God! [I watch] Love Is Blind, which is like so f--king terrible and I can’t stop watching it. There are these dating shows on Netflix, like, Love on the Spectrum. That’s another thing Covid did. I had never seen a reality TV show until Covid. I had just never done it. Now it’s a slippery slope.”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed in March 2024 that he was hooked on season 6 of the series. “It’s the worst trash ever,” he joked during an episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.
Travis teased, “It is worse than Catching Kelce, but it is so f–king good,” referring to his short-lived E! dating series that aired in 2016. Travis tried to get Jason on board with Love Is Blind, saying, “You gotta watch!”
During a February 2024 appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, Cooper said he’d recently become a huge fan of the Netflix dating show. “Love Is Blind? My lord,” Cooper quipped. “I’m new to it all, but whoa.”
He also noted that he’d finished season 1 of Love Is Blind: Sweden, which he described as “incredible” despite disliking the dubbing. “Different mannerisms, different way of communicating,” he explained. “And they’re all real handsome over there in Sweden.”
The Harry Potter star confessed during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show in March 2022 that he is a passionate reality TV fan. "I don't really believe in guilty pleasures," Radcliffe said. "In the past, I would have referred to my love of reality TV and The Bachelor as my guilty pleasure, but now I just have have to admit that I'm unironically enjoying it." The actor specifically cited Love is Blind as one of his favorites, joking that it has "been taking up a lot [of his] time."
The ballroom performer documented her "lazy Sunday" via Instagram Story while binge-watching the Netflix hit. "I don't like it, but I can't stop watching," the Dancing With the Stars pro joked. She captioned another clip, "I hate it but also love it?"

In response, Deepti wrote that she was "crying happy tears" after seeing Eilish's shout-out.
“YES 👏 @VanessaLachey 👏 YESSSS GET HIM!!!!!!! #LOVEISBLINDreunion,” the Bachelor Nation star tweeted in March 2022, praising Vanessa for calling out season 2 contestant Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee for not leaning into the experiment while courting Deepti Vempati. Shake caused controversy throughout the season when he talked about his then-fiancée behind her back, comparing their relationship to dating a family member.
The model showed her love for the show and its host Nick after Saturday Night Live did a parody sketch about Love Is Blind in March 2020. In the segment, the comedians trolled the 98 Degrees singer for his show introduction, in which he said, “Obviously, I’m Nick Lachey, her husband,” following Vanessa’s introduction.
“That was my favorite part of the whole show I’m so happy someone else noticed!!” Teigen commented on SNL’s Instagram post promoting the sketch.
Season 1 couple Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton, who got married on day 40 of the experiment, revealed in February 2022 that they have received a few DMs from celebrities who watched their journey unfold on the show. One of the biggest stars was the Clueless actress.
"She reposted a picture that I wrote and then I was freaking out and I was just like, 'Oh my god! You know who I am?!' Speed recalled during an episode of E! News’ Down in the DMs. "And then she wrote me a DM and she said, 'I watched you guys fall in love. Yay!'"
The “Wrecking Ball” singer also reached out to Speed and Hamilton on social media and asked them to come on her Instagram series. “I remember when Miley Cyrus sent me a DM. I was, like, totally shocked,” Hamilton told E! News in February 2022. His wife chimed in, "I was like, oh yeah, we're totally best friends with Miley now!”
“Man ... Love is Blind was dope. But the reunion was just OK,” the Candyman actor shared via Twitter in March 2020. “They woulda done better just linin’ em up and makin em do Pie Eatin contests.”
Giudici’s husband, Sean Lowe, revealed her obsession with the series in March 2020. “My wife has been binging Love is Blind on Netflix. I don’t get it,” he wrote via social media, before joking about the couple’s past on The Bachelor. “What kind of losers need a silly TV show to find love?”
Year after year, celebrities get into the winter spirit by heading to the mountains and channeling their inner snow bunny.
Whether they are getting in on the snow-filled fun alone or bringing their families, stars are all in on cold weather getaways. Ashlee Simpson and husband Evan Ross, for example, took their kids to Aspen, Colorado, for the holidays in December 2019, and met up with Ross’ extended family, including his sister Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross. They even coordinated their pajamas in between snow activities.
Comedian Chelsea Handler got in some serious aunt time with all of her nieces and nephews, as well as her siblings, during the 2019 holiday season in Whistler, Canada. “Having the time of my life on this mountain, thanks to the sage guidance of my two ski guides,” Handler captioned a series of photos while skiing at the time.
Scroll down to see which stars are taking advantage of the snowy weather — and which celebs are full-on ski bunnies:

Donna D’Errico is looking back on the more challenging moments of her life before she found success on Baywatch.
“I was homeless for a while. I was homeless for about three months, way in the beginning before Baywatch,” D’Errico, 56, exclusively told Us Weekly while attending the Los Angeles Mission’s annual Christmas celebration. During the event, D’Errico gave back by providing food to others experiencing homelessness on Skid Row, a neighborhood in L.A. that contains one of the largest populations of unhoused people in the country.
“I understand, and I sympathize with their plight,” the actress continued, adding that “it’s important” for people experiencing homelessness to “know that they’re a solid part of the community, too.”
“They’re not just outcasts and stuff that everybody looks down on. A lot of people do feel like that, but they shouldn’t be made to feel like that because we’re all people. Some of us have homes to live in, and some of us, unfortunately, don’t,” D’Errico said. “So, they’re categorized in the homeless group. But I don’t like doing that. We’re all people, and some are better off than others, and I want them to know that they’re important and valuable parts of society too.”

While D’Errico reflected on her past, she noted that it’s important for her to give back to the community and the homeless population in L.A. because, like herself, she knows people who have been impacted by homelessness.
“Homelessness has touched me in several different ways,” she shared. “I’ve had family who were homeless for a while, friends who were homeless for a while.”
D’Errico also took to Instagram to share her support for the LA Mission’s cause, while thanking the organization for the opportunity to give back. “Thank you to @thelamission for allowing me to come volunteer these past many years,” she wrote in a post shared in December 2024. “We served hundreds of Christmas meals today to a great many lovely people who are down on their luck.”
Everything changed for D’Errico when she booked the role of Donna Marco — a blonde bombshell lifeguard in the classic series Baywatch. Since then, she’s primarily focused on her work as an animal rights advocate.

D’Errico was set up with her ex-husband, Nikki Six of Mötley Crüe, by her Baywatch co-star Pamela Anderson, who was previously married to Mötley Crüe member Tommy Lee. D’Errico and Sixx married in 1996 and officially divorced in 2007.
When asked if D’Errico has seen Anderson’s latest film, The Last Showgirl, which has earned Anderson high critical praise for her performance, D’Errico said she hasn’t but added, “Whatever she’s got going on, I’m sure it’s fantastic.”
“I’m usually pretty good at holding my tongue, keeping my mouth shut … not saying anything, take s— from every which way and I feel like I don’t wanna today,” Cabral, 36, said in a lengthy Instagram video uploaded on Friday, January 3. “So in light of all the s— that’s been going down, I feel compelled to say if you guys only knew what it was like to be involved with this person while she’s berating me on how I treat people.”
Since joining the RHONJ cast in season 13, Cabral has had her fair share of ups and downs with Aydin, 47.. Most notably the women were at odds in season 14, which resulted in a physical altercation that subsequently got them both briefly suspended from filming.
In the Friday clip, Cabral shared that when she figures out a person’s true colors she doesn’t hesitate to cut them off.
“It broke my heart to know who people truly are and to see their true colors. Once I find that out done, bye, see you later,” she said. “And I guess it drove people insane that I’m so easily able to cut [people] out that they just spiraled and wanted to talk s—, and spew s—, and hatred and lies.”
While Cabral didn’t call out Aydin directly in the video, she was seemingly referring to the recent incident between Aydin and several Jersey Mike’s workers. The drama began when Aydin went on an Instagram Story rant about her alleged experience at a Jersey Mike’s location in an airport.
“They took our order and then they took the lady’s order that was after me but they fulfilled her order first somehow, made us wait,” Aydin claimed, calling out “the 80-year-old” working at the establishment. “Everything was slow. We’re not complaining. We get it, it’s early in the morning. You’re in a bad mood, it’s New Year’s, you’re working — I’d be pissed too.”
Cabral explained that since joining the Real Housewives franchise, she’s only tried to use her platform for “good.” However, she claimed that because “idiots” have “spread lies” about her, she’s been getting trolls in her comments section to this day spewing hate based on “false narratives” created by others.
“Imagine being a person who only looked out for people. I wanted everyone to succeed, even that asshole, even this schmuck with what she did the other day,” she continued. “A leopard never changes its spots. At the end of the day, the truth always comes out and [the] true colors of certain individuals always comes out. I will stand my ground until the day that I die, I will take the bullets from the nonsense these idiots spewed.”
Cabral added that when people meet her in real life they’re surprised that she’s nice, adding that she’s been advocating for her fellow Housewives to rethink how they act — especially in public.
“Let this be a testament of don’t always believe what you see on TV. I can’t [say I feel] vindicated by this since real people were hurt,” she said. “To see the people in this video, this woman who was working at 7 o’clock … I’m sure you all felt the same way but damn man we gotta do better.”
An apparent employee of the sandwich shop then posted a now-viral video responding with the fast food chain’s perspective of the interaction.
“I really hope this stupid bitch has TikTok,” the employee began in her post. “I really hope I come up on your For You Page bitch, I really hope you recognize me.”
The worker claimed that Aydin didn’t know what she wanted and ended up ordering “four different sandwiches” and “changing the bread last minute.” While the staff was attempting to fulfill the requests, Aydin allegedly started “backing up the entire line.” Workers then told the RHONJ star she needed to get back in line if she was going to add more sandwiches. (Us Weekly has reached out to Aydin’s team for comment.)
“She starts tweaking,” the employee claimed, alleging that Aydin said, “I’m a celebrity” and claimed she was going to sue. “She starts recording all of us and she posts it. … Learn how to order.”
Before walking back the decision, the ‘Heart of Gold’ singer-songwriter said he was turning down a headline slot at the 2025 festival because it was under the ‘corporate control’ of the BBC. He wasn’t exactly wrong, writes Louis Chilton... but it’s complicated

Shortly after playing Bridget in the coming-of-age movie, Lively landed the role of Serena van der Woodsen on The CW’s Gossip Girl. The teen drama, which premiered in 2007, shot the actress to superstardom and her star has only risen in the decades since.
After Gossip Girl wrapped, Lively launched a lifestyle site called Preserve. That same year, she and Reynolds welcomed their first child, daughter James. Preserve was shut down in 2015 and Lively returned to making movies.
The California native looked chic at The Shallows premiere in January 2016 wearing a strapless gown and leather gloves. Later that year, she gave birth to her and Reynolds second baby, daughter Inez.
Us confirmed in October 2019 that the actress had given birth to her and Reynolds' third child earlier that summer. Their daughter’s name, Betty, was later revealed.
Lively headed back to work after giving birth to promote her film Rhythm Section in January 2020. The star revealed that she was still on mommy duty as she pumped breast milk during a press day. “PUMP @therhythmsection press day Pump,” she captioned an Instagram Story photo of her Medela USA pump.
Lively and the Deadpool star documented their trip to drop off their vote-by-mail ballots in October 2020. She wore a chic tweed coat over pink trousers.
Lively looked her happiest when she received her COVID-19 vaccination in a photo shared via Instagram. “Find you someone who looks at you like I look at the heroic nurse vaccinating me 💕,” she captioned the March 31 post.
The Gossip Girl alum went on a date with Reynolds to a Yankees baseball game. “After 14 years in NY, I think tonight made me an official Yankee... ⚾️🍎,” she captioned her photos via Instagram on April 30.
The Gossip Girl alum supported her husband at the August red carpet premiere of Free Guy, matching her glitzy gown with a pair of sneakers. Days later, the Deadpool actor credited Lively’s help in the creation of the film.
“Free Guy wouldn’t be the movie it is without @blakelively,” he captioned an Instagram Story of the pair, adding a "partners in crime" animated sticker. “She was essential in every part of the making of this film, creatively and emotionally, and the cameo everyone is talking about was entirely her idea. #WorkWife.”
Lively launched her nonalcoholic line of mixers and drinks called Betty Buzz. The Betty in Betty Buzz is a nod to her late father, Ernest Brown Jr.’s mom and sister’s names.
Lively seemingly revealed that her fourth baby had arrived when she no longer had a baby bump while celebrating the Super Bowl in February. It wasn’t until June 2024 that Reynolds confirmed their son’s name is Olin.
“Drinking isn’t my thing. But for f* sake, flavor is,” Lively wrote via Instagram in June announcing her alcohol brand, Betty Booze. “Homemade recipes. Real fruit. Real ingredients. Quality booze. No crap. Also a real time saver. Which is why I really did it. @bettybooze.”
Lively joined the beauty community in July with the launch of her own brand, Blake Brown Beauty, tailored to hair products. (Her family’s last name is Brown, which he gave up when he married her mother, Elaine.)
She also reunited with Reynolds onscreen voicing Ladypool in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Lively starred as lead Lily Bloom in the highly anticipated movie It Ends With Us, which hit theaters in August. The story is based on the best-selling novel by the same name and follows Lily as she falls in love with an abusive surgeon named Ryle (Justin Baldoni) just as her first love Atlas (Brandon Sklenar) comes back into her life.
While promoting the project, rumors swirled that Lively and Baldoni didn’t get along and they were feuding off camera.
Lively filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us costar and director Baldoni in December 2024, claiming he sexually harassed her, inflicted emotional distress and invasion of privacy among other allegations. The filling came after the actress filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department one week prior.
Baldoni filed a countersuit in December 2024 against The New York Times for libel after the publication allegedly painted him a false light and invaded his privacy with its “We Can Bury Anyone: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine” article that claimed Baldoni sexually harassed Lively for months on set.
While Lively and Baldoni’s It Ends With Us lawsuits were filed at the end of 2024, the legal battle trickled over into the new year. Baldoni’s lawyers claimed on January 3 that Baldoni did not coordinate a smear campaign against Lively like she alleged.
“Justin Baldoni, from the get-go, said, ‘I don’t want to do anything negative toward her. I don’t want to hurt her,’” the attorney said during an appearance on the Today show. The lawyer also said that Baldoni plans to countersue Lively and release all of their text conversations from their time working together.
From Kiki Layne’s twisted updo in 2019 to Jessica Biel’s chignon accessory and Jessica Alba’s timeless beach waves in 2017, celebrities have gotten creative with their tresses through the years.
Lady Gaga served Us with an unforgettable coiffure at the 2019 ceremony. That evening, her signature blonde mane was colored blue and pulled up into an elaborate top knot by celebrity hairstylist Fredric Aspiras.
Aspiras opened up about the ‘do in a 2019 interview with Allure, sharing that “Gaga wanted to feel like herself” at the event, and the dye job was “inspired by the magnificent color” of her periwinkle Valentino dress.
Another memorable moment came from Tracee Ellis Ross at the 2017 soirée.
The Black-ishactress donned the perfect coily ponytail courtesy of stylist Araxi Lindsey. Her locks were slicked back in the front, revealing her voluminous mane in the back. To hide the hair band, the California native wrapped her brunette tresses around the tie.

Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard and his girlfriend, Molly Walding, have a love story almost a decade in the making.
Leonard, 22, and Walding have been in each other’s lives since they both attended Fairhope Middle School in Fairhope, Alabama.
Since then, the couple has experienced it all — from high school dances and birthday celebrations to long-distance love in college and Notre Dame’s run to the College Football Playoff.
For a full timeline of Leonard and Walding’s relationship, keep reading.
Walding posted a photo via Instagram of the pair together to celebrate Leonard’s birthday while the two were in middle school in Alabama.
Leonard had his hand on Walding’s shoulder as she beamed for the camera, still with a mouthful of braces.

Leonard and Walding’s third anniversary came with a bit of trepidation.
“Happy 3!!!! Like if you think we can make it 4 more being 500 miles apart,” Walding wrote alongside a picture of the duo via Instagram.
The post came in anticipation of Leonard heading to play football at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina and Walking on her way to Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama.

The duo, of course, found a way to make it work as evidenced by Walding’s picture from Duke’s spring game ahead of his second season at Duke.

“What an adventure it has been!” she wrote via her Instagram Story.
Brandy Ledford has big plans for 2025 and one of them involves seeing Channing Tatum in a compromising yoga pose.
The Baywatch: Hawaii alum has taken up yoga as a way of staying present and has even begun teaching the craft. She told Us Weekly that one of her goals is to start a celebrity yoga retreat.
Her friends are first on the invite list, but after that, it’s Magic Mike himself.
“I want my really good friend, Denise Richards. I think we’d have a blast. My friend is Cindy Crawford‘s trainer. I think she would be amazing to come,” Ledford, 55, told Us at the Los Angeles Mission’s annual Christmas celebration. “Channing Tatum, because I want to see him in Downward Dog. That would be great. I want to see him in all kinds of Downward Dog.”
For the uninitiated, Downward Dog is one of the most famous yoga poses. It involves placing one’s head on the floor with arms stretched forward, legs straight with feet planted on the floor and hips high in the air.
On a more serious note, Ledford’s interest in promoting yoga in the new year comes from an effort to stay sober.
“I think that would be really fun. Be fun and just stay sober,” she added. “Continue to stay sober. And I’m looking into doing some brand partnerships, so I think that’d be really fun, just being, like, an over 50-year-old celebrity influencer.”
She expanded on the importance of yoga in her life in an Instagram video in June.
“Today and every day, I celebrate the transformative power of yoga,” she wrote in the caption to a video showing her leading a group through a yoga exercise. “As a yoga teacher, I’m humbled to share this ancient discipline and witness its profound impact. Yoga is more than just exercise — it’s a harmonious blend of clarity, vitality, and spirituality. It’s where music meets movement, creating a sanctuary for my soul.”
She continued, “Yoga is a crucial part of my sobriety journey, helping me cultivate inner peace, balance, and connection. I’m grateful for its role in my life and honored to be part of a global community that recognizes its benefits.”
While Ledford’s spiritual life focuses on her own sobriety and mindfulness, she added that it was “absolutely essential” to give back to the community.
“I often love to give financial donations, and I don’t often get an opportunity to actually serve,” she said of her time at the LA Mission. “So to be able to do both feels really meaningful. I also love the idea of promoting it to hope that more people will donate if they see us here.”
Hope Valley is full of love triangles and complex love stories, but the cast of When Calls the Heart’s real-life romances aren’t quite as hard to keep track of.
During that time, the protagonist Elizabeth Thatcher (Krakow) has found love more than once. Off screen, Krakow has been much quieter about her love life. The actress, however, did confirm her romance with WCTH costar Ben Rosenbaum in February 2024.
McNally has been equally as hush-hush about his relationship with fellow Hallmark star Julie Gonzalo, with whom he shares one child.
McGarry, meanwhile, met his now-wife Kayla Wallace on WCTH. The couple went public in fall 2020 before getting engaged in December 2022.
Scroll down to see which When Calls the Heart stars are off the market — and who’s still single:
Krakow was shipped with costar Rosenbaum by fans for years before revealing in February 2024 that they are an item. Krakow shared a kissing photo with her boyfriend via social media on Valentine’s Day with a heart emoji.
Gonzalo confirmed her romance with McNally in June 2022 when she announced that the couple had welcomed their first child. McNally has been playing Lucas Bouchard on the Hallmark show since 2019.
McGarry, Mountie Nathan Grant on the series, has been dating When Calls the Heart costar Wallace — who played Fiona Miller on seasons 6 through 10 before making a cameo on season 11 in 2024 — since late 2020. He seemingly confirmed the romance in November of that year by sharing a series of Polaroids of the duo hanging out. McGarry proposed to Wallace in December 2022 and confirmed in September 2024 that they had quietly tied the knot.
The Canadian star, who plays Henry Gowen, was married to Brandy Ledford from 1998 to 2004. He tied the knot for a second time in 2013, marrying Christine Wallace. Cummins is the father of four children, two sons and two daughters.
Smith — who portrays Rosemary’s husband, Leland Coulter — keeps his home life very private. The You Had Me at Aloha actor shares two sons with wife Corrine Clark.
The Australia native has been playing Florence Blakeley since the show’s 2014 start. Off camera, Walsh shares daughter Poppy with her husband, Neil Shapiro, whom she wed in January 2007.
The actor, who plays Bill Avery, was married to his General Hospital costar Kristina Wagner from 1993 to 2006. The duo welcomed their sons Peter and Harrison, in 1990 and 1994, respectively. The former spouses mourned the loss of their youngest child in June 2022 after he lost his battle with addiction. Jack is also the father of daughter Kerry from a previous relationship.
Brooks, who portrays Faith Carter, has primarily kept her relationship with Riley Graydon out of the public eye since tying the knot in summer 2018. The actress, however, announced in November 2019 that they’d welcomed their first child, daughter Viola. They welcomed sons Levon and Angus in December 2022 and November 2024, respectively.
Leacock, who joined the cast in 2021 as Joseph Canfield, has been married to Divina Leacock since 2004. The couple share three children: Lennox, Vienna and Elias. Vienna and Elias costar with their father on WCTH as his TV kids, Angela and Cooper.
The actress, who plays Molly Sullivan, keeps her dating life very tight-lipped. Newmarch does, however, gush over her daughter, Sophia, on social media.
Rosenbaum, who portrays Mike Hickam, confirmed his relationship with Krakow via Instagram in February 2024. “First thing I see when I wake up. Last thing I see before sleep. Happy Valentines Day ❤️❤️,” he captioned a photo of Krakow with her puppy.
The Full House alum — who was previously married to Michael R. Burns from 1989 to 1996 — eloped with husband Mossimo Giannulli in November 1997, just two days before Thanksgiving. The couple have since welcomed daughters Bella and Olivia Jade. Loughlin played Abigail Stanton on the Hallmark series from 2014 to 2019, before stepping back from the show amid the college admissions scandal.
After serving two months in prison in late 2020 for her part in the scandal she reprised the role for GAC Family’s When Hope Calls Christmas special in December 2021. Giannulli, for his part, spent five months in prison for conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud before being released in April 2021.
As fans settle in front of their TV screens to see if their favorite stars will win the most coveted trophies for both film and television each year, Hollywood’s biggest names are getting pampered and documenting their road to the Golden Globes via social media.
Some stars including Alex Borstein and Emma Roberts give their followers an inside look at their pre-show rituals. Roberts, for example, is a fan of grabbing a burger while in full makeup.
“Post any awards show, we always end up back at her hotel room, you know, because she doesn’t live in Los Angeles, and we just get undone together,” Philipps exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2021 about her friendship ritual. “We’re just, like, taking out extensions, taking off eyelashes, washing our faces, putting on sweats, putting on cozy outfits. And then we go eat at Jon & Vinny’s or go get food.”
Veep’s cast is known for sharing group shots, whether they win or lose each year. The 12 Years a Slave team, on the other hand, showed how excited they were for their 2014 win with a backstage selfie worthy of being framed.
