Nelly and Ashanti are giving fans an inside look at their love story with an upcoming reality show.

Peacock announced on Friday, May 9, that an unscripted series titled Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together has been greenlit. The show will follow Nelly, 50, and Ashanti’s journey as they tackle life as a newly married couple.

The press release teased that Nelly and Ashanti, 44, will “reignite their love, navigate the ups and downs of newlywed life and the challenges of parenthood while juggling their thriving careers.” Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together will also be a “fun-filled exploration of love’s second chances.”

In addition to starring in the show, Nelly and Ashanti will serve as executive producers.

Nelly Says He Married Ashanti So She Wouldn't Be a 'Baby Mama'

Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together is scheduled to premiere in June.

Ashanti and Nelly have a lot of history. The pair were first linked in 2003 after meeting at the Grammy Awards. They dated off and on until 2013. After a decade apart, they rekindled their romance, making it official in October 2023.

Two months later, Us Weekly broke the news that Ashanti was pregnant with her and Nelly’s first child. (Nelly is father to daughter Chanelle, 31, and son Cornell, 26, whom he welcomed with ex Channetta Valentine. He also adopted late sister Jaqueline Donahue’s two children — Sydney, 27, and Shawn, 26, — following her death from cancer in 2005.)

In December 2023, Nelly and Ashanti tied the knot. At the time, Ashanti gushed about how excited she was to embark on this new chapter of her life.

“This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope and anticipation,” she told Essence in April 2024. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to.”

Nelly and Ashanti welcomed son Kareem in July 2024. The “Hot in Herre” rapper later confessed that marriage wasn’t on his mind initially but her pregnancy sparked the idea.

“We hadn’t talked about it yet,” Nelly said during a March episode of “The Bootleg Kev” podcast. “We hadn’t talked about any of that yet. I was like, ‘Yo, let’s just knock this out because we’re going to be doing so much and everything’s going to be moving so fast.’ I didn’t want her to be a ‘baby mama.’”

Seven months after giving birth, Ashanti surprised Nelly by paying tribute to him while he was honored with the Landmark Award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards in March.

“[Nelly] created a movement, shaped the culture and made history doing it,” Ashanti said of her partner. “I’m so proud to honor Country Grammar and the talented guy who made it!”

The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Lydia McLaughlin and her family are planning to take legal action following the death of her brother Geoffrey Stirling.

According to attorney James S. Terrell — who is representing McLaughlin, 44, as well as her father Scott Stirling and brother Jesse Stirling — the family is exploring their legal options against the city of Newport Beach and its police department, as well as the officer involved with the shooting.

“All the family wants is to find out what happened to their brother and their son,” Terrell exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, May 8. “Next thing they want to see is if they can get justice for him and not just for him but for everyone like him and pulled over in a similar situation.”

According to Terrell, the family has already contacted a police policy and practices expert who has reviewed the dash cam footage. They also plan to file a governmental court claim in California in order to bring a lawsuit against the city and police department.

The family has also conducted an independent autopsy, according to attorney Sharon Brunner, who is also working with the Stirling family.

“Initial impressions are that he bled out so we know that is an issue,” Brunner said. “There is concern about if there were shots to his back.”

“The family is totally devastated and totally crushed,” Terrell added. “It’s bigger than this wonderful young man who their family loved. The only way to get what really happened is through the court system.”

On Wednesday, May 7, the Newport Beach Police Department released a criminal incident community briefing video — including body cam footage — detailing the events surrounding an officer-involved shooting that occurred on April 17 with Geoffrey.

“The Newport Beach Police Department remains committed to transparency and accountability in all of its operations,” said the department in a statement. “The release of this video is part of our ongoing efforts to keep the community informed and engaged.”

In the briefing video, Sergeant Steve Oberon explained that an officer-involved shooting occurred after “Mr. Stirling struck the officer several times in the head and then removed the officer’s taser from his duty belt.”

Dash cam footage viewed by Us Weekly showed an officer asking Geoffrey to sit on the curb away from his motorcycle after being pulled over for allegedly running a red light.

“I don’t want to sit down or come here,” Geoffrey replied before trying to reach for his own ID. “Don’t shoot me.”

When the officer appeared to turn his back briefly to get on his radio, Geoffrey seemingly lunged toward him before an altercation between the parties occurred.

At one point, Geoffrey seemingly grabbed the cop’s taser and pointed it at the cop. The officer then shot him six times, according to the Stirling family. Geoffrey was later transported to a hospital where he died at the age of 45.

In the briefing video, Chief Dave Miner shared that with all officer-involved shootings, “an independent agency will conduct their own independent investigation.”

After viewing the body cam footage, Terrell said his clients believe the officer could have handled the situation differently.

“[The officer] already had backup coming to him, [so] why did he go aggressively on him?” Terrell asked. “Escalating it and charging him is not using his skills and tools he’s trained to do. He had help coming, he didn’t need to attack him. There are so many things he could have done.”

Terrell believes the officer could have maced Geoffrey or taken a taser out himself and asked the individual to “stand right there and wait.”

“You can hear a siren, his backup is coming,” Terrell added. “That would have been a good thing to do. They had some dialogue and sometimes that is all you need. Running over to him is escalating. It’s win or lose when you do that, and it’s not a good option. It’s a very bad option.”

“Oversimplifying it would be he didn’t comply and had the taser possibly in his hand and was using it as a threat to the officer,” Brunner continued.

“Based on the first interaction with the officer, [Geoffrey] was not acting normal. The officer clued in something was happening,” she said, adding he called for assistance. “The first one to escalate physical contact was definitely the officer.”

On Sunday, May 4, McLaughlin and her family laid Geoffrey to rest at a private memorial service. The intimate burial service came six months after McLaughlin mourned the death of her mom Judy Stirling from a private battle with cancer.

“ My heart is broken, and the shock still hasn’t settled ,” McLaughlin wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 5. “But even in the sorrow, I cling to what I know is true: God is good. He is in control. I am not. My brother is now with my mom, and I hold onto the promise that one day, we’ll all be reunited. Until then, I will miss them every single day. .”

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyers say they plan to accuse his ex-girlfriend Cassie of domestic violence during his sex trafficking trial.

Reuters reported that Diddy’s defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo said during a jury selection hearing in a New York City court on Friday, May 9, that he would attempt to undercut Cassie’s credibility by referring to allegations of mutual violence during her relationship with the mogul. (Diddy and Cassie were together off and on between 2007 and 2018.)

“I think we’re probably going to refer to that as domestic violence,” Agnifilo told the court.

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian indicated that he would decide next Monday, May 12, whether allegations of domestic violence could be admissible during the trial.

Cassie, 38, is expected to be called by the prosecution to testify as a star witness as Diddy faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transportation for prostitution. Diddy, 55, has denied all allegations.

Cassie’s representatives declined to comment to Us Weekly about Agnifilo’s latest court statements.

In May 2024, CNN aired security camera footage appearing to show Diddy assaulting Cassie (full name Casandra Ventura) at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016. Diddy responded to the footage’s release with a public apology.

“It’s difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you gotta do that,” Diddy said days after the video’s release. “I was f***ed up. I mean, I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted.”

Jay-Z and Diddy’s Complete Friendship Timeline Amid Legal Troubles

He continued, “I went and sought out professional help. I’ve been going to therapy, going to rehab. Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry, but I’m committed to being a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”

Diddy was arrested in September 2024 on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, with jury selection beginning for his trial in New York City on Monday, May 5. The pretrial hearings have already been eventful, as one prospective juror was dismissed after admitting she’d once fainted after a teacher brought up the topic of oral sex.

The “Coming Home” rapper surprised court observers by appearing at his hearing with a beard and hair that had gone fully gray. While hair dye is not allowed at the Metropolitan Detention Center where Diddy is being held, jury consultant Alan Tuerkheimer told Us Weekly exclusively that Diddy may have deliberately taken on a new look.

“There is no doubt he is letting his hair go gray purposefully,” Tuerkheimer told Us. “The hope is that, given the lascivious nature of some of the alleged acts he participated in, the jury sees a more seasoned and grown-up version of his former self.”

The jury expert also theorized that Diddy’s choice to go gray could be interpreted as a sign of “remorse,” given the serious nature of the sex trafficking and racketeering charges he’s facing.

“It is a way to convey remorse without any kind of admission of fault or wrongdoing,” he added. “This is a more mature and gentler individual. Many of these assessments of a defendant take place subconsciously, as jurors process his entire appearance.”

What Diddy Is Eating Behind Bars on His 55th Birthday

Several celebrities have been mentioned during the early jury selection process. While some stars mentioned — such as rapper Kanye West, Cassie’s ex-boyfriend Kid Cudi and former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard — have personal or professional connections to Diddy, it’s not clear why jurors were asked about their familiarity with former Saturday Night Live star Mike Myers or former Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams.

Diddy has been held in a federal detention center in Brooklyn since his arrest last year.

Jury selection for the case is set to be finalized as early as Monday. Judge Subramanian has projected that the trial will last around eight weeks.

Dorit and PK Kemsley’s ongoing divorce just got a bit messier.

PK, 57, filed for joint custody of their two kids — son Jagger, 10, and daughter Phoenix, 8 — on Friday, May 9, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. He also waived his right to spousal support, asking the court to terminate Dorit’s request and asked that both parties pay their own attorney fees. (Page Six was first to report the news.)

Friday’s filing comes exactly two weeks after Dorit, 48, filed for divorce from PK on April 25. Court documents obtained by Us Weekly at the time confirmed that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. She also asked for sole legal and physical custody of their two kids and requested spousal support.

Dorit and PK announced their separation in May 2024, sharing a joint statement on Instagram at the time.

“We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage,” they wrote, in part, at the time. “We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together.”

Their decision to split was a focal point of RHOBH season 14, which came to an end last month. While the show was filming, Dorit played coy about pulling the plug on an actual divorce from PK.

However, Dorit’s divorce filing came one day after PK was spotted kissing The Amazing Race alum Shana Wall during an outing in Beverly Hills on April 24. In photos obtained by E! News at the time, the duo locked lips outside Cipriani’s restaurant.

At the time, a source told Us Weekly exclusively that Dorit reached her “last straw” before officially filing for divorce. The insider confirmed that her decision was made after PK’s kissing photos went public, however “things were already done” between them.

“Dorit and PK had promised each other if they were to see other people, they would not be so public for the children’s sake,” the source shared. “The divorce was already in the works and after the photos came out, she was ready to file.”

While the duo attempted to keep things cordial as they navigated the separation, PK’s kissing photos changed things.

“They aren’t too friendly right now after the photos came out,” the source added, noting that Dorit “feels like it was calculated with the intent to hurt her. And she was hurt. She felt stabbed in the heart.”

You don’t have to be a royal to dress like one, as Princess Kate Middleton proved with her latest high-low ensemble at the London Horse Guards Parade on Thursday, May 8.

Middleton, 43, also offered a masterclass in poised repetition, stepping out in her beloved white Self-Portrait dress ($670) and black Chanel bag ($5,200).

The dress has a business-up-top, party-down-below design – a tailored blazer giving way to a soft, pleated cream chiffon skirt. This clever construction creates the illusion of separates, offering an unexpected contrast within a single garment and endless outfit opportunities.

The skirt’s soft, almost ethereal quality, particularly in contrast to the structured bouclé blazer, introduced an element of unexpected lightness and movement to Middleton’s typically more formal attire. While not overtly sheer, it deviated from the heavier fabrics for royal engagements.

The ‘Kate Effect’: Why the Princess' Outfits Are Such a Huge Deal 

This subtle hint of transparency felt like a subtle yet significant stylistic evolution for the Princess of Wales, demonstrating a move toward contemporary trends that still manage to feel elegant.

A signature design from the label renowned for its polished femininity has now graced the royal stage for a third time, as seen in 2021 for a reception at Buckingham Palace and in 2022 for “Party at the Palace,” a concert celebrating Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.

Its latest reappearance underscores Middleton’s astute approach to high-street fashion, favoring investment pieces with endless versatility. Notably, the Princess of Wales also possesses the same Self-Portrait dress in classic black, further solidifying the brand’s place in her wardrobe.

This time around, Middleton imbued the familiar silhouette with a fresh twist. The princess adorned her half-up hairstyle with Jigsaw’s velvet bow ($18), which nodded to the coquettecore trend (a.k.a. the Gen Z aesthetic characterized by whimsical details, like bows, lace and pearls). It was a subtle reminder that there’s room for a little sartorial flirtation even amidst royal protocol.

The ever-chic Chanel Classic Mini Flap Bag in black quilted leather completed her ensemble. This luxurious accessory has become another consistent element in the royal’s appearances. It accompanied her during a visit to Marseille, France, in 2023, to the Festival of Remembrance in London in 2024, and more recently, during a Holocaust Memorial Day service in January 2025.

This consistent re-emergence of the iconic Chanel bag alongside pieces like the Self-Portrait dress perfectly exemplifies the Princess of Wales’ adeptness at curating an aspirational yet accessible capsule wardrobe that she can rely on year after year – and we’re taking notes.
