The morning before Boss went missing, Holker, 36, said her husband dropped their eldest daughter, Weslie, off at school. His final words to her were, “I wish I could be your Superman.”
“Having someone say last words to you that you didn’t really process at the time as being anything wrong … that’s really hard, especially as a teenager,” Holker toldPeople in an interview published Tuesday, January 7. “She handles it with far more grace than she should have to.”
Boss died by suicide at age 40 in December 2022. He shared Weslie, 16, Maddox, 8, and Zaia, 5, with Holker.
More than two years after Boss’ unexpected death, Holker is ready to share a glimpse into her family’s ongoing healing journey in a new memoir titled This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light.
Holker said she and her kids began intense therapy in 2023 in the wake of the late DJ’s death, and as a result, learned that “it’s OK to not be OK.”
“We took the steps to really help [Weslie] and communicate with her and make her feel seen and heard,” Holker shared while acknowledging that her eldest daughter was the last family member to see Boss alive. “I think she also sees those words as something beautiful, and also ugly. It’s a battle that she’s going to always have with herself, but I know she can see it from both sides.”

Since Boss’ death, Holker has teamed up with multiple mental health organizations, including the National Alliance of Mental Illness and Maple Counseling, to spread awareness about the importance of mental health.
She also remains determined to be the best possible parent she can be to her three children.
“The No. 1 thing I want to do for Weslie is give her the strength to handle anything that she is facing,” she said. “That’s really what I want for my kids. Just keep taking steps forward. Things are going to come hit you, and that’s OK.”
While Holker continues to learn about the private struggles of her late husband, the So You Think You Can Dance alum is taking advantage of the people and resources who can be helpful.
“I’m not going to have closure. My kids aren’t going to have closure,” she said of her husband’s passing. “That’s still something I’m still trying to understand myself, which is why therapy is wonderful.”
This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light is available February 4.

When host Jimmy Kimmel asked Gomez, 32, on the Monday, January 6, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! whether Blanco, 36, asked Short, 74, and Martin, 79, for permission to propose — the Emilia Pérez actress confirmed her fiancé did not.
Gomez quipped that she “had a feeling” that Short “wasn’t very happy about that.” She added, “He just gave us a little bit of jokes here and there.”
While at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5, Short was seen playing with Gomez’s ring at the table. “He’s twisting it. Taking it off,” Gomez explained while the clip played on the late night show. “I wasn’t sure what he was doing. That’s why I look confused.”
“Is he appraising it? What exactly is he up to there?” Kimmel asked, to which Gomez replied, “He just wanted to know what was going on. I don’t think he cared. Maybe he had a little [to drink].”
As for Martin, Gomez received a congratulatory message. “Steve made sure he sent my assistant an email so my assistant could tell me congratulations,” Gomez said. “That’s how he communicates.”

When Kimmel asked whether Martin thinks he’s reaching out to Gomez, she replied, “Oh, that’s a good question. … He always tries to be polite. And it’s very kind, but it’s OK to send a little text.”
As for whether Martin and Short would be involved in the wedding in any capacity — even as ring bearers — Gomez laughed and said, “That would be adorable.”
Gomez announced her engagement in December 2024. “Forever begins now,” she wrote, to which Blanco replied in the comments section, “Hey wait … that’s my wife.”
The couple went public with their relationship in December 2023, with Gomez revealing that she and Blanco had been together for “six months” at that point.

“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she gushed at the time. “He [has] been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end. … He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with. Facts.”
One month before sharing news of their engagement, Gomez gushed over their connection and called the relationship “the safest [she has] ever felt.”
“I see a future with this person. And when you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down,” Gomez told The Hollywood Reporter in November 2024. “Like, if they hear something, they’re going to, but if you’re like, ‘I did it,’ they’re like, ‘Oh, well there’s you, just going to Sushi Park.’ But there’s so much of my relationship people don’t see, that’s just mine.”
Ruby Franke and Family.Courtesy of Moms of Truth/Instagram
Ruby Franke rose to fame while documenting her family’s daily life on her YouTube channel in 2015, some of it controversial.
After facing backlash for some of her parenting choices, Ruby stopped her “8 Passengers” channel and went on to launch ConneXions with mentor Jodi Hildebrant in 2022. In August 2023, Franke was arrested on two counts of aggravated child abuse. She and Hildebrant have since pleaded guilty and were both sentenced to four consecutive prison terms.
In January 2025, Franke’s eldest daughter, Shari, told her side of the story in her book, “The House of My Mother: A Daughter’s Quest for Freedom.” The memoir detailed her mother’s alleged abuse that occurred throughout Shari’s childhood. (Ruby shares kids Shari, Chad, Abby, Julie, Russell and Eve with husband Kevin Franke, who filed for divorce after her arrest.)
“When I was younger, around, like, five-six, Ruby was really physical,” Shari, now in her early 20s, told Good Morning America at the time. “Whether it was like a slap to the lip or a slap to the cheek … when I would practice the piano, her hand would slam and it was really scary.”
When asked whether there is anything she would tell Ruby today, Shari said, “Probably tell her I’m happy without you. I was scared of her for so long, and I am here without her approval, and I am just fine.”
Scroll down for what to know about Ruby and her family:
When Was Ruby Arrested?
MEGA
Ruby was arrested in August 2023 on two counts of aggravated child abuse after one of her sons escaped out of a window of the Utah home of Hildebrant. The son went to a neighbor’s home, asking for food and water. Per authorities, the child had duct tape on his ankles and wrists and was malnourished.
How Did Ruby Plead?
Ruby pleaded guilty to four counts of child abuse in December 2023, describing the “physical torture.” Ruby agreed to serve a prison term and that her sentences would run consecutively, as part of the plea deal. Ruby also testified against Hildebrant, who pleaded guilty.
When Was Ruby Sentenced?
Ruby was sentenced in February 2024 to four consecutive prison terms, which could range from one to 15 years each. Hildebrant received the same sentencing.
While addressing the court before her sentencing, Ruby said her charges are “just.” She added,
“They offer safety to my family, accountability to the public.” Ruby claimed she had been “led to believe” that the world was an “evil place” and thanked officials who rescued her children.
Shari wrote in her January 2025 book that Hildebrant moved into the family’s home in 2022, with Kevin moving out shortly after. Shari claimed that the alleged abuse became more psychological — instead of physical — when Hildebrant became a part of the family’s life.
“I certainly got weird vibes from Jodi and Ruby,” Shari told Good Morning America at the time, noting that Ruby was “secretive” about the relationship with Hildebrandt. “I don’t think it’s normal at all that a therapist would move in to your client’s home … I was moving out to college, I hadn’t even left the house yet, and she is in my room and in my bed.”
In the book, Shari claimed she found messages on Ruby’s laptop after their arrest. She wrote, “Ruby, expressing her frustration about having to cater to Jodi’s needs for physical affection without getting anything in return.”
Ruby told Good Morning America that she was “not sure” whether Ruby and Hildebrant’s relationship was romantic. (Before her February 2024 sentencing, Ruby said in a statement in court that Hildebrant was “never” her business partner. Ruby claimed Hildebrant was “employed as my son’s counselor, in 2019 and in 2020, I paid her to be my mentor.”)
Did Any of Ruby’s Kids Reach Out to Authorities Before Her Arrest?

Shari claimed that she contacted authorities about the alleged abuse on multiple occasions. The Utah Division of Child and Family Services declined to comment on Shari’s claims in a statement to ABC News.
“The Utah Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) works with children and families during some of their most vulnerable moments. DCFS respects that each child and family has a right to privacy and remains firm in our commitment to that privacy for the children and families of Utah,” the statement read. “DCFS affirms law enforcement reports of our involvement in the Franke case. However, in order to protect the integrity of the necessary working relationships with those we serve, and to respect the privacy of children and families, DCFS will continue its practice and refrain from sharing specific information on a case, past or present. Utah law requires any person with reason to believe that a child has been subjected to abuse, neglect, or dependency to report it to DCFS or a local law enforcement agency. The 24/7 abuse and neglect hotline is 855-323-3237.”
What Has Ruby’s Family Said About Her Arrest?
Ruby’s sisters condemned her action in a joint August 2023 Instagram statement. “For the last three years, we have kept quiet on the subject of our sister Ruby Franke for the sake of her children. Behind the public scene, we have done everything we could to try and make sure the kids were safe,” Ellie Mecham, Julie Griffiths Deru and Bonnie Hoellein wrote. “Ruby was arrested which needed to happen. Jodi was arrested which needed to happen. The kids are now safe, which is the No. 1 priority.”
In August 2024, Chad acknowledged the anniversary of Ruby’s arrest. “Happy Prisonversary,” he wrote in a Snapchat.
While recalling her childhood to Good Morning America in January 2025, Shari got candid about not wanting to resemble her mom in any way. “Sometimes I’ll, see myself in the mirror and I’m like, “Oh, my gosh, I look like her,’ or ‘I sound like her,’ but I don’t wanna be anything like her,” Shari said.
Shari claimed that she doesn’t think her mom can “fully comprehend the guilt” of what she pleaded guilty to. “I think that she’s as sorry as she can be,” Shari said. “What she has done is so bad that I don’t think her mind allows her to kind of fully comprehend the guilt of all that. And so I think that she probably genuinely believed everything she said. I don’t believe it though.”
While moving forward, Shari said she is trying to rebuild her relationship with her father and siblings. She noted that she has been struggling with the idea of forgiveness.
“Forgiveness is something I’ve had to study a lot and kind of think about what it means,” she said. “But for me, forgiveness would look like not letting that consume every moment of my life and all of my thoughts. I am just trying to move on with my life and trust that things are gonna work out the way they’re supposed to.”
Where Does Ruby Stand With Ex-Husband Kevin?
Kevin’s attorney Randy Kester told Today in a September 2023 statement that the pair had been separated “at Ruby’s directive” for 13 months. He added that “Kevin did not want to be separated.”
“He wanted to work through concerns as a family,” Kester said. “There was never any formal, written decree of separate maintenance or separation agreement. The separation was under terms proscribed by Ruby and Jodi Hildebrandt.”
Ruby and Kevin began marital counseling in 2021 with Hildebrant. Kester told People that Hildebrant suggested the twosome separate. He went on to file for divorce in November 2023.
Shortly before Ruby’s sentencing in February 2024, Kester said in a statement to Law & Crime, “The treatment these children received at the hands of those whom the children had a right to trust, was horrific and inhumane, both physically and psychologically. Kevin remains focused on the rehabilitation of these sweet and vulnerable children so that they might return to a normal life as soon as possible.”
Kevin told ABC News in a January 2025 statement, “I am incredibly proud of Shari for the woman she has become and for her strength. She has played and will continue to play a crucial role in the healing of our family. I am grateful for her example and learn a lot from her vulnerability and courage. She has a powerful voice and will make a positive impact in this world. I love my daughter.”
Are Ruby’s Kids Advocating for Change?

Shari addressed Utah lawmakers in October 2024 about the “dangers” of parents using their children online for monetary gain.
“When children become stars in their family’s online content, they become child influencers,” she said in testimony during a Utah Senate committee hearing, per ABC News. “It is more than just filming your family life and putting it online. It is a full time job, with employees, business credit cards, managers, and marketing strategies.”
Shari called for greater restrictions of family vlogging, specifically when children are too young for consent. “There is no such thing as a moral or ethical family vlogger,” she said.
What Has the Franke Family Said About the Lifetime Movie About Them?
Lifetime released Mormon Mom Gone Wrong: The Ruby Franke Story in October 2024, starring Emilie Ullerup as Ruby and Heather Locklear as Hildebrandt.
Ahead of the movie’s release, Shari released a statement. “A note about the Lifetime movie coming out about my family: I saw the trailer suddenly in class and had an anxiety attack,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “None of us were contacted about the movie.”
She continued: “This movie is trash and only hurts my siblings more. None of the proceeds are going to the kids. Please do not support this movie.” Us Weekly reached out to Lifetime at the time.

Prince Harry is set to return to the U.K. as his legal battle continues.
The Duke of Sussex is set to go up against News Group Newspapers (NGN) — which owns The Sun — in court starting this month. Harry, 40, previously accused the media company of allegedly using unlawful information gathering tactics.
Hello! Magazine reported on Tuesday, January 7, that when Harry flies home he won’t be accompanied by wife Meghan Markle. The publication noted that she will likely stay in California with their kids, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.
NGN previously admitted to phone hacking at the News of the World, which closed in 2011. They’ve since claimed that there was no wrongdoing at The Sun.
In an April 2023 court filing, Harry alleged that his brother, Prince William, settled with NGN for “a very large sum” in 2020. He also claimed that the royal family had a “secret agreement” with the media company preventing any members from filing lawsuits. (NGN has since denied this claim.)
Judge Timothy Fancourt ruled last July that Harry’s case could move forward solely on the allegations of unlawful information gathering. His phone hacking claims fell outside the six-year time frame to bring the case. The judge also stated that Harry failed to provide evidence of the alleged “secret agreement.” The trial date was eventually set for January 2025. (The hearing is set to last for eight weeks.)
This is hardly the first time Harry is going up against the U.K. media. He was part of a group that sued Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), which owns the Daily Mail, for allegedly hacking into celebrities’ voicemails as a way to obtain personal information. He made a major statement while testifying in June 2023, making him the first royal family member to take the stand in 130 years. By December 2023, a judge ruled in Harry’s favor. Court documents obtained by Us at the time revealed that the judge found “sufficient proof” that MGN “engaged in unlawful information gathering, including phone hacking.”
Harry spoke candidly about his ongoing legal battle during last month, noting that his time in court is about “accountability” at the New York Times’s DealBook Summit.
“They’ve settled because they’ve had to settle,” he said of those who came before him. “So therefore, one of the main reasons for seeing this through is accountability, because I’m the last person that can actually achieve that.”
When it comes to the Golden Globe Awards (or any awards show, for that matter), the red carpet looks tend to draw as much attention as the winners. For 2025’s event, elegant yet unfussy makeup enhanced the old Hollywood glam styles, and luckily for ever-curious Us, celebrity makeup artists are sharing insider details on the products they used. As it turns out, two of our favorite actresses ended up wearing the same lipstick!
For Sunday’s award ceremony, celebrity makeup artists Pati Dubroff and Quinn Murphy worked with Kirsten Dunst and Kristen Bell, respectively, ensuring they were ready to pose for the cameras. Both artists used Chanel on the actresses, topping their masterpieces with Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue in Chic Rosewood, a subtly shimmering mocha-rose lipstick. The two-part lipstick has a deeply pigmented liquid color on one side and a glossy, hydrating top coat on the other. It’s a wearable glam hue for all-day everyday or a special occasion!
Murphy explained his vision for the Nobody Wants This star.
“Kristen wore a rose-gold sequin gown that was both eye-catching and subtly elegant,” he said. “Rose gold has an undertone that sits in the middle of warm and cool, giving it a delicate and nuanced quality. Rather than opting for a strong eye or bold lip, I wanted to find a balance of features, adding a bit of mystery and nuanced glamour.”
Taking a different approach for Spiderman‘s Dunst, Dubroff opted for strong, dark eye makeup, while the lip shade perfectly harmonized the look.
While long-lasting lipstick is a must for the red carpet, shoppers also love the Chanel lip color, saying it lasts through meals and doesn’t leave lip prints on wine glasses. One devotee, who calls it “Absolutely the best!” raved that the lipstick is a “long-wearing color and doesn’t dry out. The gloss is gorgeous and doesn’t feel sticky. This stuff is magic! Doesn’t transfer all over your cup and is still on by the end of the day!”
A second devotee confirms, “I love this long-lasting lipstick and gloss; it’s the best I have ever tried, and the color selection is amazing!”
Quiet luxury has come for your lips. If you’re going to invest in one piece of makeup that will match any style — and look smashing through the winter into the springtime — don’t hesitate to shop this lipstick today. We’ve already added it to our carts!
