The Bachelor‘s Alexe Godin opened up about every single one of her tattoos.
Alexe quickly made her way into Bachelor Nation’s hearts while starring on Grant Ellis’ season 29, and took to TikTok on Sunday, February 23, to explain the stories behind her tattoos.
“I was super nervous to go on The Bachelorbecause they had never had a full-sleeve tattoo girl before on the show,” she said, noting she wanted to look like Miley Cyrus with a sleeve. “I was worried people would judge me and then I thought, ‘Who cares? This is me.’”
She added, “I wish I could say they all have super deep meanings, but to be honest, they all were very impulsive, spur-of-the-moment decisions.”
Alexe first showed an underboob tattoo, which she got when she was just 19 years old. She explained that it was written in Greek, because she believed she was a quarter Greek, but is only one-sixteenth. “I had no way of translating it from someone who speaks Greek, so I went on Google Translate.”
She continued, “It’s supposed to say something corny like, ‘Live by the sun, love by the moon,’” however, it actually reads, “Live on the sun, love for the moon.”

Moving onto her arm, Alexe has a butterfly on her shoulder, representing “evolving and becoming a better person.” Next, she showed off an eye tattoo, which she later covered with a large mermaid because the artwork wasn’t her style. “That was the first time I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. What did I just put on my arm?! That is there forever. Now, I have to commit to a full sleeve.”

Elsewhere on her arm, she has “Honey” written, a drawing of a woman with flowers that also represents “evolving,” and a bumble bee, which is one of her obsessions — even though she wanted it to be much smaller.
Alexe also flaunted a bull skull drawing, which she thought “looked cool” on her bicep.
While she was getting the bull, Alexe thought her arm looked like it was missing something, so the artist suggested she get another at the same appointment.
Kyle Cooke and Craig Conover have been friends for years — but that hasn’t stopped them from feuding over Loverboy and loyalty.
Cooke launched his alcohol brand, Loverboy, in 2018, with his now-wife, Amanda Batula, and friend Carl Radke by his side. Five years later, the canned cocktails landscape had grown even bigger and pal Conover jumped on the bandwagon.
When Conover announced in April 2024 that he was an investor in Spritz Society, Cooke claimed there was “no bad blood” between them. However, Cooke confessed during a May 2024 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that it “rubbed me the wrong way” how Conover told him he was working with a competitor.
“First and foremost, all my friends that I’ve filmed with know that I’ve raised money,” Cooke later claimed during a June 2024 episode of the “Trading Secrets” podcast. “The only person that ever expressed interest was Carl.”
Cooke, who has known Conover since 2018, alleged, “Craig never expressed interest. He never once asked to invest in Loverboy.”
Scroll down for a complete timeline of Cooke and Conover’s drama surrounding Loverboy — and see where they stand now:
The Initial Announcement
“I’m so excited to announce that I am now an investor in @spritz! I first found out about Spritz last summer when me and Paige [DeSorbo] were on our way to @taylorswift at Metlife and the party bus was stocked with these delicious wine spritzers,” Conover wrote in a lengthy Instagram post in April 2024. “One sip was all it took for me to realize they were onto something and I needed to learn more about the brand — I loved the concept of a refreshing wine based drink & how they brought everyone together.”
He gushed, “I’m so excited to be in the Spritz Society family and for y’all to see the amazing projects we’ve got in the works.”

“Obviously I’ve always had respect for Austen [Kroll] and Kyle and all of them but being in the liquor business or wine liquor business now, I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh. This is a new territory,’” Conover told Page Six in May 2024, referring to Kroll’s Trop Hop beer and Cooke’s Loverboy alcohol brand.
Conover noted that he has “always respected Kyle’s hustle,” but he also “didn’t understand it at times” until he got involved in the industry. “I understand why he’s had to work so hard, because the grind in the alcohol business is extreme,” he added.
Conover alleged that prior to the Spritz Society investment, he “offered to buy into” Kroll’s beer company but Kroll declined his offer. Conover also claimed he “would have loved to invest” in Loverboy, but “that wasn’t an option.”
Kyle Goes on ‘Watch What Happens Live’
Cooke initially told Andy Cohen on a May 2024 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that there was “no bad blood” between him and Conover over Spritz Society. “I think this is being blown out of proportion,” he explained. “I don’t really think there was an investment, and it seems like all the press is referencing me.”
Cooke later said, “Look, I wish him the best, but the way he handled it, and we don’t have time to get into it, really rubbed me the wrong way, and I’m just trying to take the high road.” He alleged Conover “has a reputation of lying and he lied to me.”
The Investor Issue

After Spritz Society founder Ben Soffer’s wife, Claudia Oshry, claimed during a May 2024 episode of “The Toast” podcast that Cooke denied Conover the ability to invest in Loverboy — and alleged that Loverboy has no investors — Cooke addressed the drama.
“I don’t know what got lost in translation. Loverboy has investors, we’ve had investors since 2019,” Cooke said on Jason Tartick’s “Trading Secrets” podcast in June 2024. “I value them immensely. I’ve had lots of them texting me saying, ‘What in the heck is going on?’ I could not have done it without them.”
Cooke claimed that Conover was well aware that he was looking for investors and fundraising opportunities when they were in Vermont for Winter House in March 2022.
“I am not a sole owner. I wanna make that very clear,” Cooke said on the podcast. “We were actually fundraising — I was very vocal about this with my close friends, Craig included, during Winter House [season 2]. I was busy raising a round of financing. It’s like, this is not a secret.”
Nearly two years after Cooke was fundraising in early 2022, he crossed paths with Soffer, Spritz Society’s founder, in New York City. “He had DMed me when we were both at an industry conference in January. And per the timeline his wife laid out, he was already in talks with Craig,” Cooke explained in June 2024 as to how he first connected with Soffer, noting the pair agreed to go to dinner the following month.
“This dinner ended up taking place about two weeks before Craig and I got drinks. We’re talking like receipts and timelines these days [so] dinner was February 7th,” Cooke confirmed. “I really enjoyed the conversation.”
The Summer House star recalled Soffer eventually saying, “‘Hey, maybe we could collab and like throw a party, kind of cross pollinate our audiences.’” While Cooke was entertaining the idea, he learned that Soffer was with Conover the following day and Soffer “never mentioned” it.
“I didn’t know at this time that him and Craig were talking about a collab,” Cooke said, noting, “He knows Craig and I are friends. … I just wish he was a little more transparent with his intentions.”
Cooke confessed that found it “extremely odd” that Soffer didn’t tell him or Conover that he’d been spending time with the other person all while working on an investment deal with Conover.
How Craig Told Kyle About His Spritz Society Situation

Shortly after Cooke met with Soffer in NYC, Conover reached out to go to get drinks in the Big Apple. “It all kind of unfolded in early February, Craig and I got drinks,” Cooke said during the June 2024 podcast episode. “I thought it was just to catch up.”
Cooke claimed that “10 minutes before” their friend Tom Schwartz showed up at the bar, Conover “sprung” his Spritz Society deal on him.
“It sounded very much like the offer on the table was [that] he was being given equity and then boom, he actually left [the bar] early and that was it,” Cooke recalled. “The next day I texted him like, ‘Hey man, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to what you said about this opportunity you have, and please, like, hold off from signing anything. I’d love to put an offer on the table to kind of counter it.’”
Cooke alleged that after some “back and forth” Conover told him it was “too late” for Cooke to counter with a Loverboy offer.
“I just figured he’d at least give me an opportunity to [be] like, ‘Hear me out,’” Cooke continued. “To be honest, I kind of feared that this would impact our friendship because this has been my blood sweat and tears for the last five years.”
Cooke admitted he is “sensitive” about his company, revealing that while he doesn’t need Conover involved in Loverboy he was surprised by the move to go with Spritz Society.
“I just didn’t think one of my good friends would go hop in bed with a competitor,” he said. “You know, that’s it. That was the extent of our conversation.”
‘Watch What Happens Live’ Debacle

Cooke revealed that after his chat with Conover in February 2024, he chose to keep it to himself and not bring up the news publicly. However, that changed when Cohen asked him about their Loverboy quarrel on WWHL in May 2024.
“You’re in the hot seat. … I’ll be honest, like, he caught me off guard, Andy Cohen,” Cooke recalled during the June 2024 podcast, referring to the talk show appearance. “I was ready to talk about Summer House, and I hadn’t thought about this in a while. And I let my emotions get the best of me.”
The reality star continued, “Up until then, I had very consciously decided not to comment via the various press requests about Craig’s involvement in this competitor. I was very much focused on keeping this a private matter.”
Cooke said that it was not his intention to bring it up when he did. He noted that he is not only friends with Conover but he’s close with the Southern Charm star’s then-girlfriend, DeSorbo, as well. (Conover and DeSorbo split in November 2024 after three years of dating.)
“The last thing I’m trying to do is make it awkward for any of us,” Cooke shared, adding that he wishes he “wasn’t so reactionary” on WWHL. (Cooke claimed at the time that Conover “has a reputation of lying and he lied to me.”)
Cooke stands by what he said to Cohen about Conover but confessed he “could have handled it better.” He added: “Sometimes I’m right, but it’s my delivery and it’s my tone and my temper [that] make me dead wrong.”
A Hopeful Future

“I’m pretty bummed with how everything went down,” Cooke told Tartick in June 2024, explaining that the “only choice” now is to “hopefully” not let the career decision “interfere with our friendship.”
Cooked continued: “In all seriousness, I hope to have a chance to talk with Craig. I wanna squash the beef. Like, what’s done is done. I tell ’em straight up like, ‘I’m sorry for being reactionary and Watch What Happens.’”
He concluded, “The irony here is it’s really not about two startups competing against one another. It’s trying to stay relevant in an industry that is really good at keeping the startups small.”
His Instagram Comment
Following Cooke’s appearance on Tartick’s podcast, he doubled down on claims that Conover “never” expressed interest in investing with an Instagram comment.
“The more I think about it, the more I think Craig was intentionally or unintentionally trying to justify things and misled Claudia and Ben as to what we discussed,” Cooke wrote in a comment left on Tartick’s June 2024 Instagram post. “Craig NEVER asked me to invest and never offered to reconsider anything.”
Craig’s Rep Weighs In
“Craig is deeply disappointed and saddened by Kyle’s abrupt accusations,” a rep for Conover told Page Six in June 2024 after Cooke’s appearance on the “Trading Secrets” podcast. “The truth only hurts one person in this instance, and it’s not Craig. Therefore, he will not comment further on this matter nor be drawn into an unprofessional arena.”
The statement continued: “Craig has learned to blame himself and not others for everything that happens in his life, including the success of his products and companies. He looks forward to continuing to share his life with everyone and thanks all his friends and supporters, whom he views as family.”
The Cameras Were Rolling

Conover exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2024 that his feud with Cooke was captured by the Summer House cameras. “Unfortunately for you, we did film it,” he teased, confirming season 9 highlights their issues. “That has to carry the tag of you have to wait and watch that.”
Despite their tension during summer 2024, Conover explained they had moved forward. “I love Kyle and we have a really fun history and relationship and he’s one of my favorite people on the network,” he revealed. “I’m glad I was able to go out there and you’ll get to see how that all went.”
The Fences Are Mended
“Andy [Cohen] caught me off guard,” Cooke exclusively told Us at Us Weekly + Pluto TV Reality Stars of the Year Party in October 2024, reflecting on his and Conover’s drama.
Cooke explained, “Ultimately, I cherish friendship above everything else and I think that’s why I was hurt. But [Craig and I are] good. We’re good.”
Even if you live in athleisure, there’s a time and place when sweatpants simply won’t cut it. However, just because you have to dress up for the office or a night out doesn’t mean you should sacrifice comfort.

The machine-washable style comes in three neutral colors, including the perfect off-white shade for this upcoming spring. They boast a high-waisted design that’s universally flattering while elongating the legs and cinching the waist at its smallest point.
The button closure, front pleats and perfectly tailored hem give the pants a sophisticated finish while the two front pockets and back welt pockets are equally functional as they are polished.
The style also strikes the right balance between professional and casual. Sleek yet relaxed, the look doesn’t feel overly stuffy nor too laidback. Pair the trousers with everything from a breezy T-shirt and sneakers to a blazer and heels depending on the occasion.
“I’m a tall woman [and] it’s hard to find clothes to fit at a reasonable price,” one Walmart shopper says, praising the “very fashionable” style. Other shoppers say the material is “luxe” and “good quality,” adding the pants “fit like a glove.”

After news of the 34-year-old’s untimely death broke on Saturday, February 22, his passing was confirmed later that day by Guerrero’s sister Gris Guerrero, who set up a GoFundMe page. His cause of death was not stated.
Kardashian, 44, wrote a lengthy message from the heart in his honor, which she shared via her Instagram Story on Monday, February 24. “Our glam fam means the world to us. We work together, vacation and celebrate our lives together!” she wrote in a caption beneath a group photo of the Kardashian-Jenner clan alongside Guerrero and other members of their beauty team, which appeared to have been captured behind the scenes on the set of a promotional shoot for season one of The Kardashians, before the spinoff series aired on Hulu in April 2022.
Kardashian continued: “Our great respect for the art of hair and [makeup] has led us to us meeting some of the kindest souls and make some of our bestest friends. So when one of our glam family members passes away all of our souls are crushed.”

Kardashian was undoubtedly speaking for her younger siblings, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner. According to photos shared by the stylist, the latter worked with Guerrero the most frequently and recently, as seen in snaps of Kylie before the 2025 Golden Globes in January.
Kardashian confirmed this in Monday’s statement: “My heart breaks for Kylie and everyone who loved Jesus the way we all did. I’m praying for his family, his loved ones and the whole beauty community who feels this deep loss of one of the most talented and kindest to ever do it!”
She concluded her caption with: “Rest in peace @jesushair” followed by the white dove emoji.
Guerrero’s Instagram reveals not only how long he worked with the Kardashian-Jenner family but also how many memorable beauty moments he created — from Kylie, 27, and her spiked updo at the 2024 CFDA Awards to Kim’s first Skims campaign in 2019 when she modeled waist-length extensions and nude bodysuits in photos that launched her shapewear empire.
Sara Foster worked with hair stylist Graham Nation 15 hours before he died on February 14, the actress has revealed.
Foster shared a video from the shoot she and Nation worked together on via Instagram Story on February 23.
“This was the last shot of the day. @grahamnation would be gone 15 hrs later. We were supposed to be with him yesterday,” she wrote. “God damn: tell people how you feel about them. I wish I told him more. We miss you graham.”
Nation also worked with Serena Williams, Demi Moore and Catherine O’Hara. The stylist, whose real name was Graham Cheek, shared a 6-month-old son named Romeo with Tonya Brewer. He died just days after celebrating his first Super Bowl ad, a spot for Michelob Ultra, on February 9.
“My first ever Super Bowl commercial!” he shared via Instagram the following day, on February 10. “What an absolute blast to work on, Thank you Cathrine O’Hara for having me apart of this epic commercial.”

Nation was represented by The Wall Group, which confirmed his death to industry outlet Behind the Chair.
“Graham was a one-of-a-kind soul who impacted every single person he met,” the agency shared in a statement. “We are honored to have been part of his journey and to have helped him share his artistry with the world. Our hearts are broken and we will miss him dearly.”
“Graham was one of the kindest, most gentle souls in this business! His talent was unmistakable, his ego was illegible and his time with us unforgettable,” Behind the Chair founder and creative director Mary Rector told People.
Nation’s death prompted reactions from many of his celebrity clients. “I can not stop thinking about and missing @grahamnation,” Sara’s sister actress Erin Foster wrote via her Instagram Story on February 19. “He left behind a 6 month old baby. We shared diapers and sleep training tips. “I can’t stop thinking about his partner Tonya and what she must be going through, losing her partner and now raising their son alone.”
Hair stylist Divinity Ray shared her tribute under Nation’s final Instagram post, showing off his work with Marissa Bode.
“10 years of knowing you, from cutting hair in our hometown to witnessing you take LA by storm,” she wrote. “You were never too busy to be thoughtful. You were never too big to smile at everyone. You were the most incomprehensible artist. Enough talent to have the biggest ego but instead so humble and sweet. I always described you as an angel on earth. I just never thought you would leave this soon. Rest in Power, brother the world lost one of its brightest lights.”
The wellness landscape is constantly changing, and it goes beyond everyday food choices. Even as a shopping expert, I often forget about the common household products with toxic ingredients because, frankly, they’ve become such a popular presence in kitchens.
Scratched cookware, old dish sponges and plastic food storage containers are out for a reason. Single-use plastic is wasteful and bad for the planet, while nonstick pans are often ridden with forever chemicals that can have detrimental long-term health consequences. I certainly don’t want that!
I’m on a journey to fill my kitchen cabinets with non-toxic home products, and it begins by ditching common household items I once deemed “safe.” Below, these are the eight home items I’m swearing off this year — and what I’m buying instead!
8 Items I’ve Sworn Off — Here’s What I Buy Instead
Traditional Sponges
While I’m not suggesting to stop cleaning your dishes altogether, a traditional sponge isn’t the most effective tool for the job. It’s practically a breeding ground for bacteria growth. This soap dispensing dish brush is the perfect solution. It even has a replaceable brush head to easily swap it out for a fresh one after the recommended three months.
Glass food storage containers, like this Amazon Basics version, are a much better storage option than plastic, which are difficult to clean and can occasionally even leak harmful chemicals into your food. This leak-proof set includes multiple sizes, are oven-safe up to 450 degrees and are made from a non-porous glass base that won’t stain or retain odors.
Not only are single-use plastic bags wasteful, they cost me more money in the long run since I have to stock up every few weeks. These dishwasher-safe reusable bags are the perfect solution. They’re 100% leakproof and are made from a low-temperature resistant material that prevents freezer burn.
A big way I’m trying to avoid waste is cutting back on my paper towel consumption. Instead, I’m investing in these microfiber cleaning cloths that are designed with durability in mind. Reusable up to 50 times, the fabric soaks up to five times its weight in liquid and dries surfaces quicker, too.
This is a hard one, but I’m also on a mission to toss out my nonstick pans. The coating typically contains forever chemicals (like Teflon), which can pose long-term health risks. Even in the short term, Teflon can cause toxic fumes — which lead to Teflon flu — when overheated. An easy swap? These ceramic pans offer the same easy-to-clean-and-cook perks without any threat. Food heats evenly and slides right off.
These silicone straws are a new everyday staple in my kitchen. The $9 pack includes 12 high-quality straws, along with convenient carrying cases, which is perfect when I’m picking up my morning cold brew. Thousands of shoppers rave about the reusable straws and say these “outshine those flimsy paper straws by a mile.”
Plastic cutting boards scratch easily from constant chopping, slicing and dicing. This can cause bacteria growth, and even worse, it can lead to microplastics ending up in food. Snag my favorite bamboo cutting board set featuring three different handy sizes and built-in side handles. The wood is gentle on blades so knives stay fresh. Plus, there’s no need to worry about unnecessary scratching.
Let’s face it: Disposable coffee pods can get expensive, and they’re not the most sustainable choice. I’ve swapped my disposable pods for this reusable version made from stainless steel. They’re BPA-free and are compatible with several Keurig coffee makers.
Alexandra Kay has seen a lot in her decade-plus in the music industry, but nothing has compared to the scene backstage at a Jelly Roll concert.
“Within a matter of minutes, I was passing Morgan Wallen, Snoop Dogg, Kelsea Ballerini, Ernest — was that the night [Jon] Bon Jovi was there?” Kay, 33, exclusively told Us Weekly. “Everybody was there!”
Kay opened for Jelly Roll, 40, on his Beautifully Broken Tour last year and had a blast, but this year she’s the headliner, having kicked off her Cupid’s a Cowgirl Tour on Sunday, February 23.
“There was a part of me that had been at it for so long that I didn’t know that I’d ever get to put on a show like this,” she told Us of the new tour, which winds down in St. Louis in June. “So I am so grateful and I cannot wait for everybody to see it. We’re gonna be playing four new songs from the record.”
The tour is named after her newest single, “Cupid’s a Cowgirl,” which dropped Friday, February 21. Kay said the song came out of a writing session where she was thinking about how to make something more “fun and happy” than her last album, which was largely about her divorce. (She split from her ex-husband in 2022.)
Ford Fairchild
“I was in a really happy place and still am,” she recalled. “I think that was my first time going in and feeling confident that I wanna move forward and I wanna put All I’ve Ever Known, my divorce record, behind me. Everybody kind of comes in with the same kind of concepts for you when you release a divorce record. … And it was my first time kind of being like, ‘You know, I really wanna move away from that.’”
She succeeded, because “Cupid’s a Cowgirl” is a raucous take on the single life that begins with the lines, “She’s got a pistol in her pocket / Outlaw in her blood / Peekin’ out from that Stetson / Yeah, she’s lookin’ for a stud.”
“We were jumping on couches, screaming, having fun,” Kay told Us of writing the track. “I think we disturbed every other [session] happening in [the studio] that day, and I’m totally fine with that.”
“Cupid’s a Cowgirl” is out now. Before hitting the road on her Cupid’s a Cowgirl Tour, Kay shared more behind-the-scenes secrets of life on the road:
I have a nebulizer, so I’m always warming up my vocal cords. I drink, like, 10 bottles of water before I perform, so I have to get those in throughout the day. I just warm up. I usually go live [on social media] while I’m doing my makeup so I can talk to everybody and tell ’em about where we’re going next. And usually people in the crowd that are waiting for me to come out are like, “When are you coming out?”
Other than that I have more of a post-show ritual, I think, which is just eat. I wait till I get off stage and then I stuff my face. I would say pre-show, I’m having a protein drink. And then post-show, I’m usually eating chicken wings. I know that sounds crazy, but every time that they’re like, “What do you want for after-show food?” I’m like, “Just find a place that’s got chicken wings.” And that’s usually what I’m eating.
Ideal Afterparty
My ideal afterparty is to take a shower immediately after the show, get into my bunk, open my book on my Kindle, maybe crochet a little bit, rewatch all of my [Instagram] Stories from the show and then get some sleep. That’s my ideal night. Especially when I was on tour with Jelly Roll, I didn’t have many of those because they have real afterparties constantly — a lot, a lot of fun. But I’m like a grandma at heart.
Probably being backstage when I opened up for Jelly at Bridgestone Arena [in Nashville], because within a matter of minutes I was passing Morgan Wallen, Snoop Dogg, Kelsea Ballerini, Ernest — was that the night [Jon] Bon Jovi was there? I’m not kidding, Bert Kreischer, every comedian you could ever think of, Jeffree Star, everybody was there. And it was just like, “This is the craziest experience to have all of these people in one place.” But that’s just Jelly. Everybody loves him, you know? So you never know who you’re gonna run into.
How She Calms Her Nerves
I pray — every single time. It does not matter if it is three people or if it is an arena. I get nervous every single time, but I like that. I think that means I still care and I still love this so much and want it to be great for the fans that are out there. When you stop getting nervous, it’s a little bit of a sign that you’re kind of getting numb to it. And I’m far from that, so I’m still happy about those nerves.
Lucky Charm
I usually have a cross somewhere on me. And if not, I have one tattooed on my wrist, so God is always with me everywhere. I also play with my boyfriend [Rocko Beall]. He’s my [musical director] and my guitar player. So I guess I could say I have my lucky charm on stage with me every night.
“Everleave,” which is strange to say, because it is my most emotional song and everybody gets really emotional in the crowd. But there is just something that happens when I play that song. There’s a universal healing that happens in the room, and you can hear a pin drop every single time. It heals me a little bit more every time. I’m in a much better place than I was when I went through my divorce, but singing it, I have a different respect for it. I’m not hurting myself when I sing it anymore, but I’m tapping back into those emotions and that place in order to try to make people that are currently going through it understand that I went through it too and I made it out on the other side.
Most Embarrassing Moment
I had an embarrassing moment on [the Jelly Roll tour] in which he last-minute asked me to sing a song, and I went up there and botched it because I came in at the wrong part. Jelly’s favorite thing is to keep you on your toes. Last minute, he’ll come in and be like, “Hey, AK, we’re not gonna do ‘Friends in Low Places’ tonight. You’re gonna do this one. OK, we’ll see you in 30.” I’m like, “Yeah, OK, never sang that in my life.” So, that was a little embarrassing. That one’s on the internet somewhere if somebody wants to find it!
Most Cherished Souvenir
I always get a magnet from everywhere we go, especially when we were on our European tour last year. And now, Rocko and I … we’ll sneak away and do something, just the two of us, and our newest thing is seeing Broadway shows or Off-Broadway shows ’cause we’re both theater nerds. We love it, so we try to see a show everywhere we go. And so not only now do I have my collection of magnets from Germany and Holland and everywhere we played, I also have a collection of magnets from all the shows we’ve seen when we’re on tour. So I’m gonna need to get a bigger fridge!
One thing about Beyoncé Knowles-Carter? She’s always on time with inspiration, whether it’s music that lifts my spirits (hi, Renaissance) or an outfit that pulls me out of a wardrobe rut. On Monday, the megastar did it again, stepping out in a denim-on-denim look so good it made me rethink the Levi’s jeans I throw on when I just can’t with sweatpants for the hundredth time.
Right on cue for rodeo season, and just weeks before her Cowboy Carter tour kicks off on April 28, Queen Bey dropped a new ad for the second chapter of her Levi’s collaboration, rocking the brand’s Ribcage Wide Leg Jeans, styled with custom embellishments and a trucker jacket to match.
Get the Levi’s Ribcage Wide Leg Jeans for just $98 at Levi’s. Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, February 24, 2025, but are subject to change.
Being the devoted BeyHive member and shopping enthusiast I am, I immediately added the trousers to my cart. I also let out a sigh of relief because the jeans — which boast nearly 500 glowing five-star reviews — are under $100. A Beyoncé-approved wardrobe staple at an affordable price? This is rarer than scoring concert tickets, but I digress.
According to shoppers who’ve already snagged a pair, they live up to the hype. One reviewer called them the ultimate “butt” jeans, saying, “They fit so comfortably and are so flattering. I just ordered another pair because they’re that good.” Another noted that while the jeans are structured and non-stretch, the fit is perfection — but if you prefer a little extra wiggle room, sizing up isn’t a bad idea.
And when it comes to options, Levi’s did not hold back. These ultra-flattering jeans come in 11 washes and three different lengths, so whether you’re going for Beyoncé’s dark-wash moment or a classic blue-jean vibe, everyone goes home a winner.
If you’re inspired by Bey’s effortless denim-on-denim slay, now’s the time to twin with the queen. Shop the look below before it sells out (because you know it will).

Jane Fonda comes from a family of Hollywood stars.
Socialite Frances Ford Seymour and the famous American actor Henry Fonda, who were married from 1936 until her death in 1950, welcomed Jane in 1937, followed by son Peter Fonda in 1940. Seymour had previously welcomed daughter Frances de Villers Brokaw from her first marriage, while Henry went on to adopt daughter Amy Fishman in 1953 with his third wife, Susan Blanchard.
Jane has opened up about feeling alone most of her childhood after her mother died by suicide when she was only 12 years old and her father was often away working.
“My mother died and I didn’t know where to get answers. … I spent a lot of my adolescence really, really scared,” she shared with People in March 2014.
The Academy Award winning actress went on to have three children: daughter Vanessa Vadim with ex-husband Roger Vadim in 1968 and son Troy O’ Donovan Garity in 1973 followed by adopting daughter Mary Luana Williams in 1983.

Before her marriage to Henry, Jane’s mother was married to George Tuttle Brokaw from 1931 until his death in 1935. The pair had one daughter, Frances de Villers Brokaw. Nearly one year after George’s death, Frances married Henry in 1936 and went on to welcome Jane in 1937 and Peter in 1940. In 1950, while a patient at the Craig House Sanitarium, Frances died by suicide months after Henry asked for a divorce.
Jane has previously opened up about the tragedy of her mother’s suicide and later discovering she was bipolar.
“If you have a parent who is not capable of showing up, not capable of reflecting you back through eyes of love, it has a big impact on your sense of self,” she told People in September 2018. “As a child, you always think it was your fault … because the child can’t blame the adult, because they depend on the adult for survival. It takes a long time to get over the guilt.”

Jane’s father was a popular Hollywood star, appearing in famous films such as Young Mr. Lincoln, The Grapes of Wrath and 12 Angry Men. Prior to his marriage with Frances, Henry was married to Margaret Sullavan from 1931 to 1933. Following Frances’ death by suicide in 1950, Henry wed his mistress Susan Blanchard later that year. They adopted daughter Amy in 1953 before divorcing in 1956. Henry then married Adfera Franchetti from 1957 to 1961 before moving on with Shirlee Mae Adams in 1965. Henry stayed with Adams until his death in 1982.
Although Jane and Henry had a strained relationship for most of her life, before he died Jane was able to tell him that she “loved him” and “forgave him” for “whatever didn’t happen.”
“And I hope that he would forgive me for not being a better daughter. I got to say that to him,” Jane explained in an appearance on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace in February 2023. “He didn’t say anything. But he wept. I had never seen that before. I’d never seen my father break down and weep. And I — it was, it was powerful.”

Jane’s younger brother was born in 1940. Following in his father’s footsteps, Peter began acting at a young age and starred in critically acclaimed films such as Easy Rider, The Hired Hand, Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, Futureworld and Ulee’s Gold. Throughout his career, Peter was nominated for two Academy Awards and won two Golden Globes.
As for his romantic life, Peter married Susan Brewer in 1961 and welcomed daughter Bridget and son Justin in 1964 and 1966, respectively. Brewer and Peter divorced in 1974 and Peter remarried Portia Rebecca Crockett in 1975. The pair called it quits in 2011. Later that year, Peter wed Margaret DeVogelaere and the couple stayed together until his death from lung cancer in 2019.
Peter and Jane were very close throughout his life — and Jane had a difficult time dealing with his passing.
“I’m very sad,” she said in a statement to People in August 2019. “He was my sweet-hearted baby brother, the talker of the family. I have had beautiful alone time with him these last days. He went out laughing.”
Henry and Blanchard adopted Jane’s sister, Amy, in 1953. While she has chosen to keep her life out of the spotlight, it was revealed that Henry left his estate to Amy and wife Shirlee.

Although it didn’t work out between the twosome, Jane later praised Hayden in an interview.
“I needed someone far wiser and more knowledgeable than I was about movement-building and politics and all of that,” she shared with The New Yorkerin September 2018. “And he had this depth of knowledge, and he gave me structure and guidance, and I learned so much from him that I am forever grateful for.”

Jane married CNN founder Turner in 1991. The duo divorced in 2001.
“He was sexy. He was brilliant. He had two million acres by the time I left. It would have been easy to stay,” Jane shared in her 2018 documentary Jane Fonda in Five Acts. “But there was this angel on my shoulder … it was hard to even hear her voice, [saying], ‘If you stay, you will die without ever becoming who you can be. You will not really be authentic.”
