Katie Couric is sending her love to a member of her Today show family.
The former coanchor of the NBC morning show took to Instagram on Friday, May 23, to pay tribute to Sheinelle Jones’ husband, Uche Ojeh, after his unexpected death at age 45. “Sending so much love, support and sympathy to @sheinelle_o following the loss of her beloved husband Uche after a valiant struggle with glioblastoma,” she wrote alongside a photo of the couple.
Couric, 68, continued, “My heart is breaking for her and their three children. Please hold them in your hearts. Love you Sheinelle .”
Couric left her role as Today’s coanchor in 2006, eight years before Jones, 47, joined the series as a Weekend Today cohost. Jones has served as a cohost of the show’s third hour alongside Al Roker, Craig Melvin and Dylan Dreyer since 2019.
Jones has been absent from Today since December 2024. In January, she clarified via Instagram that she was “taking time to deal with a family health matter.” During Friday’s Today broadcast, Savannah Guthrie broke the news that Ojeh had died after a private battle with the brain cancer glioblastoma.

“There are no words for the pain that we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children. Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him,” Guthrie, 53, tearfully announced.
The show aired a video package revisiting the couple’s biggest moments, from falling in love as students at Northwestern University to their 2007 wedding to becoming parents to their three kids — son Kayin, 15, and twins Clara and Uche, 12.

“We just want to say Sheinelle, Kayin, little Uche and Clara, the Ojeh family, we are with you. We love you,” Guthrie added. “You are our family, and we are just sending all of our love to you right now.”
Jones broke her silence on Ojeh’s death by sharing her colleagues’ on-air tributes via Instagram. “Thank you, for all of your love and support ,” she wrote alongside the clip on Friday.
Couric went through a similar experience as Jones when she lost her first husband, Jay Monahan, to colon cancer at age 42 in 1998. The spouses, who wed in 1989, shared daughters Ellie, 33, and Carrie, 29. She found new love with her husband, John Molner, whom she wed in 2014.
Couric became a grandmother in March 2024 with the birth of Ellie and her husband Mark Dobrosky’s son, John. Her grandson was named after Jay, whose full name was John Paul Monahan.
Earlier this year, Couric exclusively told Us Weekly that her husband’s legacy lives on through their kids and baby John. “Now every time I see Baby Jay, I think of my Jay and Ellie and Carrie’s Jay,” she shared in March while promoting the Cologuard Classic by Exact Sciences golf tournament to help raise colon cancer awareness.
“I always think of how proud he would be of them,” she added. “So, we think about him a lot.”
"We had a very close and loving relationship from the moment I was born and throughout the final 15 years of his life," the legendary singer's daughter wrote in a letter included in "Love, Freddie."

If you’ve been looking for a great time to catch up on all of the Netflix shows you’ve been meaning to watch, a three-day holiday weekend has arrived just in time.
Netflix’s global productions are so numerous that it’s a rare when the streamer doesn’t have some incredible international series that are just waiting to be discovered by a global audience.
This week, Netflix has a high-profile limited series called Sirens as well as the noir-ish drama from Denmark called Secrets We Keep.
To close out the final selection on the Watch With Us team’s underrated Netflix shows to watch this weekend, we went with a true crime story set in the Vatican.
House of the Dragon‘s Milly Alcock has a central role in Sirens as Simone DeWitt, the devoted personal assistant to billionaire Michaela “Kiki” Kell (Julianne Moore). But when Simone is tracked down by her older sister, Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy), she can’t see that she’s been taken in by a cult of personality surrounding Michaela. Simone may have more power than the rest of Michaela’s followers, but she’s just as trapped as they are and doesn’t even realize it.
Even Michaela’s husband, Peter Kell (Kevin Bacon), acknowledges that the hold she has on Simone and her other employees is abnormal. But Devon is the only one willing to stand up to Michaela to do something about it, whether Simone wants her help or not.
It’s time to turn on the subtitles for another Nordic noir. Unless you’re fluent in Danish, of course. Secrets We Keep revolves around Cecilie (Marie Bach Hansen), a woman living with her husband, Mike (Simon Sears), and their children in an affluent neighborhood. Cecilie and her au pair, Angel (Excel Busano), both become concerned about Ruby (Donna Levkovski), the au pair for their neighbors, Katrina (Danica Curcic) and Rasmus (Lars Ranthe).
Ruby confided in Cecilie that she wasn’t happy living with her employers, and the next day she went missing. It’s very suspicious that Ruby is nowhere to be found, but her money and passport have been left behind. Neither Ruby’s employers nor the police seem that concerned about her fate, with perhaps the lone exception of the town’s new detective, Aicha (Sara Fanta Traore). To figure out what happened to Ruby, Cecilie and Aicha may have to work together to get the ugly truth out in the open.
‘Vatican Girl: The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi’ (2022)
The Vatican, as seen in the recent hit Conclave, isn’t just the heart of the Catholic Church — it’s also a sovereign country. And it’s not without occasional mysteries or scandals of its own. One of the most infamous examples of that is the still-unsolved case of Emanuela Orlandi, a 15-year-old girl who went missing in 1983.
Vatican Girl: The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi dives into the backstory of the story surrounding that event. There’s more speculation than answers awaiting viewers here, but the theories point the finger at everything from terrorist plots to organized crime and even the Catholic Church itself. It’s been over 40 years since Orlandi vanished, but her family hasn’t stopped asking the Vatican to share anything the church knows about what happened to her.
Vatican Girl: The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi is streaming on Netflix.
Sydney Sweeney sent temperatures soaring on Friday, May 23, when she went for a breezy bike ride in head-to-toe Miu Miu while on vacation, and just in time for the holiday.
When the Euphoria actress shared the photos on Instagram, the post instantly went viral, garnering 350,000 likes in under an hour. This was undoubtedly thanks partly to her skimpy skirt, which previously caused a social media sensation when it debuted on the Miu Miu runway.
Since then, the hems at the French fashion house have continued to shrink, and Sweeney, 27, is using the long weekend to show off the Internet’s favorite, most-talked-about micro mini skirt.
“Just wandering around,” Sweeney captioned the cheeky post. With the wind in her hair and sand on her bare feet, she leaned over the front of her beach cruiser-style white bicycle, made a duck face pose for the camera, and poked out her bum to highlight the skirt’s scant proportions.
Intentionally cut to be a cropped alternative to the traditional mini skirt, Miu Miu’s daring length, or lack thereof, has a barely-there bottom that is all but guaranteed to turn heads (and get just as many Instagram likes). For her part, Sweeney doubled down on the idea of less is more with an itty bitty black tube top embroidered with the brand’s logo in similarly small white lettering.

In true Miu Miu girl fashion, Sweeney didn’t ride off into the sun without her beloved Wander bag hanging from the handlebars, and the style name also seemed to inspire her Instagram caption.
The moment recalled another It Bag thirst-trap that Sweeney posted back in December 2024. At the time, she went topless underneath a cozy cardigan and only a designer bag to conceal her. The styling left little to the imagination but spoke volumes about her love for all things Miu Miu.
Jamie Foxx won’t forget the wild rumors that once surrounded his health scare.
“I snuck in my phone because I didn’t know what the outside world was saying, and I couldn’t get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke,” Foxx, 57, shared with The Hollywood Reporter in a roundtable interview published Thursday, May 22. “I’m in f***ing perfect shape. [I see things like,] ‘Puffy tried to kill me.’ No, Puffy didn’t try to kill me.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Diddy’s team for additional comment. (The rap mogul’s team has long maintained the rumor was entirely false and unfounded.)
That wasn’t the only crazy — and false — rumor that spread online during Foxx’s hospitalization.
“When they said I was a clone, that made me flip,” Foxx said in his latest interview. “I’m sitting in the hospital bed, like, ‘These bitch-ass motherf***ers are trying to clone me.’ And then I saw me walk into my room, but I’m white, so I see the white me.”
After Foxx shared his theory that hospital staff were trying to clone him, one psychiatrist asked if the actor was alright.
“I say, ‘Am I alright or am I all-white? I saw you trying to get the white motherf***ing Jamie Foxx and it ain’t going to happen,’” Foxx recalled. “[The doctor] just calmly goes, ‘I think we’re going to lower your dosage.’”
In the Netflix comedy special, the actor said he experienced a bad headache in April 2023. The symptoms later led to a brain bleed, which led to a stroke.
In a rare public appearance at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, Foxx shined a light on how his health scare transformed his outlook on life.
“You know how you take a picture on your cell phone and you hit that first filter and it brightens up? That’s the way life looks now. Everything is altered,” Foxx shared with E! News. “When it actually happens to you, you appreciate it more, I appreciate these moments more.”
Throughout his recovery, Foxx tried to remain largely tight-lipped about the specifics of his health scare. In July 2023, however, the actor made a rare statement to clarify some of the rumors surrounding his condition.
“You know, by being quiet, sometimes things get out of hand, people saying what I got [and] some people said I was blind, but as you can see the eyes are working. The eyes are working just fine!” he said in an Instagram video. “They said I was paralyzed, I’m not paralyzed, but I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well. I’m coming back and I’m able to work.”
Britney Spears’ latest plane ride appeared to be a bumpy ride.
According to TMZ, the “I’m a Slave 4 U” singer, 43, was flying on a private jet from Cabo San Lucas to Los Angeles on Thursday, May 22, when she started drinking alcohol on the plane.
During the flight, Spears allegedly pulled out a cigarette, lit it and started smoking.
At one point in the trip, the flight attendants became alarmed and allegedly ordered the singer to put out the cig. Although Spears complied, the singer was met by authorities when she landed at LAX airport and was warned about her conduct, TMZ reported.
Us Weekly has reached out to Spears’ rep and LAX police for comment. Private plane service JSX had no comment when reached by Us.
Earlier this week, Spears posted videos of herself dancing at what appeared to be a tropical destination. She didn’t leave a caption on her Instagram posts and continues to have comments turned off. (A source previously told Us in May 2024 that Spears considers her dancing Instagram videos “work,” adding that they “keep her entertained.”)
Ever since Spears’ conservatorship came to an end in late 2021, the singer has continued to stay away from the music industry.
At the same time, she’s had a lot to celebrate, including a recent reunion with her younger son, Jayden, 18. (The “Toxic” singer and ex-husband Kevin Federline also share Preston, 19.)
“He’s open to mending the relationship with his mom and seeing where things go,” a source exclusively told Us for a December 2024 cover story. “Britney was very excited to hear from him; [it] means everything to her.”
At home in Los Angeles, multiple sources told Us that Spears has a small circle of friends who regularly check in with her. One insider, however, warned that the singer can be “all over the place, and very hot and cold.”
“[She’s either] on top of the world happy or crying because of a paparazzi photo,” the insider shared.
Looking toward the future, those closest to Spears are hopeful she can continue pursuing projects she’s passionate about like dancing, jewelry and writing.
“She’s been getting excited about a lot of different projects,” a source previously told Us before teasing a possible dance studio gig for Spears.
Another insider added, “Britney lives a very low-key life. She’s not career-focused — she only wants to do things that bring her happiness right now.”
Stark, 33, and Guzman, 37, who star as Evan “Buck” Buckley and Eddie Diaz, respectively, have become fan-favorite characters over the show’s eight seasons — largely in part to the duo’s close onscreen friendship (and, at times, speculated romance). It’s no surprise that some of their most iconic moments on the show have been together, from fights to saving each other’s lives and more.
Filming together, however, isn’t always as easy as it seems behind the scenes. While speaking exclusively to Us Weekly, Stark confessed that the season 4 episode “Suspicion,” in which Eddie gets shot, was particularly challenging — but not for reasons one would expect.
“It wasn’t a particularly heavy day emotionally because we knew he was gonna survive, right? It was a heavy day that I had to keep throwing him over my shoulder, to throw him into the back of the fire truck,” Stark told Us with a laugh. “And most people when they do a scene like that, they’ll ask questions like, ‘Ah, is it OK that your back doesn’t hurt?’ Whatever. This is no word of a lie: Between every single take, Ryan was eating chocolate cake. And I have to throw him over my shoulder. And I’m like, ‘Why are you making yourself heavier for me?!’”
Here, the duo look back at some of their most popular scenes for Buck, Eddie, and the friendship that has been lovingly dubbed Buddie:
Season 3, Episode 9: Buck Asks Eddie to Go for the Title
Oliver Stark: Ah, yeah, this kitchen scene. There’s meant to be, the way that it read to me anyway, it’s a lot of tension. There’s a lot of buildup [to] the point that you’re like, “The heck is about to happen here? Are they gonna fight or what?” And then there’s, like, a smash cut to them playing video games. But it was fun to see the limit that you could take it to, how much you could amp it up and then undercut it with the video games. But I think there’s something previously in that episode where, because we’re talking about fighting, I think I said to him, “I thought you were gonna hit me.” And he says something like, “Bet I can beat you up.” And it goes from there and it’s basically we’re just each trying to one-up each other until smash cut to playing video games with Chris (Gavin McHugh), and I love that the show plays between tones so well. It does feel really intense, but it never takes itself too seriously for too long. I think that’s a strength of the show, and really, this scene is a great example of that.
Season 4, Episode 4: Buck Yells at His Parents to Love Him ‘Anyway’
OS: This seemed very emotional, cathartic. If there’s ever any time you’ve wanted to scream at your parents, this was a really big scene for me and it precedes, if I remember correctly, the “Buck Begins” episode, which is a look back into his childhood. I think we played it lots of different ways, if I remember correctly, how heated it gets. And there’s this line in the scene that I really love, which I just thought was so fitting for Buck. He talks about having walked through fire every single day because of his parents and because of the upbringing. And we find out later, I think later in the episode, that Buck was basically born to be a donor to his brother, who had leukemia. And that gives so much context to his childhood for him. All of that angst that came out of that childhood came spilling out in the scene. I remember Kenny [Choi]came up to me. We shot my coverage and the camera was facing me. And when I would shout at Dee [Wallace], who plays my mom in the show, she would always, like, shudder a bit when I got loud. And Kenny came up and he was like, “You see, she keeps on jumping back? Make sure when it’s on her coverage you shout just as loud to get that kind of scare out of her!” So obviously we did. Her and Greg [Harrison], who plays my dad, are both fantastic actors. So it was just nice for everybody to come together and work for each other in the scene. And I really love the way it came off.
Season 4, Episode 13: Eddie Gets Shot
Oliver Stark, Ryan GuzmanABC
OS: The scene where Eddie gets shot, it wasn’t a particularly heavy day emotionally because we knew he was gonna survive, right? It was a heavy day that I had to keep throwing him over my shoulder, to throw him into the back of the fire truck. And most people when they do a scene like that, they’ll ask questions like, “Ah, is it OK that your back doesn’t hurt?” Whatever. This is no word of a lie: Between every single take, Ryan was eating chocolate cake. And I have to throw him over my shoulder. And I’m like, “Why are you making yourself heavier for me?” But I was probably throwing him extra hard to spite him back. I think my biggest concern on the day, because I remember getting almost quite in my head about it, is he gets shot from behind and the blood splatters over my face — the timing of me reacting to the blood. Because [if someone’s going to] hide down here with a squirt gun and blast me in the face with blood, it is very difficult to convince yourself you don’t know that’s about to happen, so some part of you is ready to recoil for it, but Buck doesn’t know that it’s about to happen. So trying to trick my brain into, “Here we are just talking, oh, no, here it comes?” That was my biggest difficulty on the day. But the take that we got actually worked perfectly, however many changes of a white shirt that I was wearing later. We really had a lot of fun with that episode, crawling under the fire truck and getting to do all the things that I love to do on the show. The physical stuff and just committing to it. Thankfully it really turned out.
Ryan Guzman: Honestly, the only thing I was thinking about is my cousin, and he had been to war six different tours and he’d seen plenty of people getting shot. And I remember him telling me something about people getting shot and how sometimes it just goes right through you. So it was very kind of graphic, I guess, in my mind. But I was really just trying to keep it calm and grounded for the scene. But yeah, shout-out to my cousin and those that serve.
Season 5, Episode 13: Eddie Breaks Down to Buck
Ryan GuzmanABC
RG: Man, what I’m thinking right there is I am drained. I’ve been crying all day. And I cried on my takes and Oliver’s takes. So it was just nonstop. My eyes were puffy by the end of the night. It was cathartic, I guess it was a release or whatever. Maybe I had been holding on for whatever, for 30 years. It was fun.
Season 7, Episode 4: Buck Plays Jealous Basketball
OS: It was very fun for about an hour and a half. Six hours later, my knees were hurting, I was out of breath. Well, actually, I was out of breath within the first 10 minutes. But it was great. We had a beautiful location and basketball court, as you know if you’ve seen the scene, like, right on the ocean. So we were all really happy to be there. And it just felt like something different for the show. We weren’t in the firehouse, we weren’t in the firetrap. We [weren’t in] one of our houses and we were getting to do something different. None of us are particularly skilled in the art of basketball, which I think is good. If one of us was really, really good and the rest of us were really bad, I think we wouldn’t have had so much fun together. But it was a really fun day of working out different, mostly choreographed plays. I didn’t expect it to go that way. Naively, I thought it’d be, like, just play basketball and see what happens. But it wasn’t, it was a rehearsed almost dance of, “Alright, you’re gonna pass over there so then this guy’s gonna move over here,” and how to set up and tell the story through the plays. I naively just thought I was gonna get to play basketball for a day freely, but it all worked out and we got to tell the story through the game, as it were. And yeah, definitely one of my favorite days as I look back on 9-1-1.
Season 8, Episode 17: Eddie and Buck Fight in the Kitchen
Ryan GuzmanABC
OS: So the most recent Buck-Eddie fight, fueled by grief and differing levels of grief, and Eddie is dealing with the fact that he wasn’t there for the death and Buck is dealing with the fact that he was there for the death. And so those are already two conflicting things, and I love the way this scene came together. I didn’t realize this when we were making it, but it’s all shot handheld, the camera’s kind of shaking at points, and it feels very raw, which I think is very fitting with the kind of emotions that are going on here. I didn’t realize during the scene that Ryan was gonna grab hold of me and lunge at me, but during the duration of the show, we’ve kind of built such a trust, myself, him and the rest of the cast. So you have that kind of sandbox to play in. There’s a high level of trust, so if somebody wants to try something, you feel like you have the space to do that. And I love the way the scene came together.
Us Weekly: So you had no idea that was going to happen?
OS: No, like, “Get off me.”
Us: Did you and Ryan have any conversations before that or did you kind of just go right into it?
OS: No, so the show, we don’t really rehearse beforehand. I mean, obviously, we rehearse on the day and work it out with the director and the [director of photography] and then we set the cameras up. But everybody always comes with their own ideas. And the way that it always comes together is that the best idea in the room wins, which is oftentimes an amalgamation of different people’s ideas. You know, “I thought I wanted to move over here,” and, “Oh, well I wanted to move over here.” Right? “Well, what if we kind of do this instead?” And it just comes together and we’ve gotten quicker and quicker and more in sync with each other at doing that over the years.
RG: Yeah, this scene, it had so many great textures, again, thanks to [showrunner] Tim [Minear]. And Oliver’s, right. We rehearsed it one time, but I did it super bland, mellow as can be. And then the director pulls me off to the side and says, like, “You want to hit him right now? Do you wanna punch him?” And I go, “I don’t know if I wanna punch him! But let’s play with that.” And lo and behold, I started elevating the pushing.
