3 Underrated Netflix Movies to Watch This Weekend (May 30- June 1)

30 May 2025 at 13:30

Content overload is the norm these days. With so many movies and TV shows available to stream, it’s impossible to watch everything great.

Luckily for you, Watch With Us is always keeping an eye on the great movies and shows that slip through the cracks and don’t get the adulation that they deserve. This weekend, we’re recommending Netflix users check out three fantastic movies that didn’t get enough love.

All of them are available on the platform, and all of them are awesome.

We’ve got an indie comedy from Bottoms duo Emma Seligman and Rachel Sennott, an Adam Sandler drama of all things, and a mockumentary from a legendary SNL trio.

‘Shiva Baby’ (2020)

This indie dramedy is the first film from Bottoms writer-director Emma Seligman, and it’s a much more grounded, personal story. Danielle (Rachel Sennott) is a college senior who’s involved in a “sugar baby” relationship with an older man named Max (Danny Deferrari). When she attends a shiva observance with her parents, she’s shocked to find that not only is her ex-girlfriend Maya (Molly GordonThe Bear) in attendance, but so is Max, his wife (Dianna Agron) and their baby.

Sennott’s performance is nuanced as she portrays this flawed character, making Danielle both relatable and cringeworthy. It’s an excellent portrayal of the anxiety and insecurity of young adulthood as you leave college for the real world. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Shiva Baby didn’t get its big planned premiere at South By Southwest and had only a very small theatrical run. You may have missed it the first time around — but don’t miss it now!

‘Spanglish’ (2004)

A surprisingly moving family drama starring, of all people, Adam SandlerSpanglish is the story of Cristina and Flor Moreno, a Mexican daughter and mother whose lives become entangled with that of a wealthy white family when Flor (Paz Vega) becomes the housekeeper for the wealthy John and Deborah Clasky (Sandler and Téa Leoni)

Flor grows close with John and teenage daughter Bernice Clasky (Sarah Steele), while Cristina (Shelbie Bruce) bonds with Deborah and becomes increasingly Americanized. A complicated movie about relationships and family, Spanglish covers emotional affairs, cultural identity and privilege in a beautiful mother-daughter story.

Spanglish did poorly at the box office, perhaps because people didn’t know what to expect from a more serious Adam Sandler movie (at least, that’s our theory). But it holds up well through a 2025 lens, especially given the way our cultural conversation around some of its themes has evolved.

‘Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping’ (2016)

Life is full of mysteries, but one of the ones we’ll never be able to decipher is why Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping didn’t do better in theaters. The mockumentary musical comedy, which stars Saturday Night Live comedy team The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer), is a brilliant parody of the music industry, with memorable songs and dozens of cameos from music and comedy all-stars. (Eric André, Emma Stone, P!nk, Akon and Miley Cyrus all show up, and that’s not even a quarter of them.)

Samberg plays Conner4Real, a pop star who went solo after getting his start in a rap group called The Style Boyz at a young age with his best friends Owen (Taccone) and Lawrence (Schaffer). When his career experiences a setback, Conner has to do some soul-searching and reunite with his former bandmates. There’s a decent amount of heart alongside the laughs in this one — check it out!

Russell Wilson Had ‘Plan’ to Stay Single for 10 Years Before Meeting Ciara

30 May 2025 at 13:21

Russell Wilson credits his relationship with wife Ciara to a bit of divine intervention. 

The New York Giants quarterback, 36, appeared on Carmelo Anthony’s “7PM in Brooklyn” podcast on Thursday, May 29, where he recalled wanting to take a hiatus from romance after getting divorced in 2016. 

“I was young, this and that and everything else,” Wilson said. “All of a sudden I’m single. I’m like, ‘Here we go. Alright, I’m single.’ I had a whole plan. I was going to be single for, like, 10 years.”

Wilson filed for divorce from his first wife, Ashton Meem, in 2014 after two years of marriage.

Ciara Reacts to Husband Russell Wilson Signing With NY Giants

One year into Wilson’s proposed sabbatical, he met Ciara. 

“[Ciara] came and she just changed everything,” Wilson explained. “She changed everything.”

Right before Wilson and Ciara started dating in 2015 after meeting at a University of Wisconsin basketball game, Wilson remembered asking God, “What do I really want?”

“Three days before I met [Ciara] I remember being at church with my pastor, Judah, and I was talking to him,” Wilson said. “He said something in a sermon. He said ‘non-negotiables.’ And it had nothing to do with relationships. He just said the word ‘non-negotiables.’”

Wilson continued, “I remember going to dinner with him afterwards and I said, ‘Judah, you said something in your sermon and it hit me.’ He was like, ‘What’s that?’ ‘You said ‘non-negotiables.’ He said, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah.’ I said, ‘You know, I feel like marriage, life, everything, You’re trying to be with somebody. I feel like marriage, you gotta have non-negotiables.”

The quarterback described marriage as “a business deal.”

“Not to be cold, but if we’re gonna be partners for life, if we’re gonna do this, you gotta have your non-negotiables,” he said.

Wilson and his pastor made a list of five non-negotiables in a potential partner, which included things like being a “believer,” being “faithful” and finding “a woman that was gonna love me the way my mom loved my dad.”

Once the list was completed, the two men “prayed over” it. 

“Three days later I met [Ciara],” Wilson said. 

The couple got married in July 2016 and have since welcomed three children: daughters Sienna, 8, and Amora, 17 months, and son Winn, 4. Ciara shares son Future, 11, with her ex Future.

“Having children, man, it’s been so cool,” Wilson gushed. “It really shows you what love is, to be able to love kids and do that.”

Netflix's Tudum 2025: Release Date, How to Watch, Host, Stars and More

30 May 2025 at 13:15

For the last five years, Netflix has used its annual Tudum event to preview the streamer’s most-anticipated shows and movies. While previous Tudum events were held live in Brazil, this year, Netflix is bringing Tudum home to America.

That’s not the only change coming from Netflix’s Tudum 2025. The event is going to be streamed live on Netflix itself instead of being relegated to social media channels and YouTube.

Netflix has also loaded up on stars from its upcoming projects to make guest appearances, some of whom have already been announced.

To get you ready for this year’s event, the Watch With Us team has put together this look at everything you need to know about Netflix’s Tudum 2025.

Tudum will begin streaming on Netflix on Saturday, May 31 at 8:00 p.m. EST/5:00 p.m. PST.

Are Tickets for Tudum Still Available?

No. Netflix is reporting that the event in Los Angeles is sold out. It’s possible some tickets may become available on the day of the event, but don’t count on it.

Who Will Be Appearing at Tudum?

3 Great Free Movies to Stream This Weekend (May 30-June 1)

30 May 2025 at 13:15

Weekends are the time for relaxing, ideally with some high-quality entertainment.

If you’re looking to wind down with a film, but don’t want to spend money at the box office or pay for yet another subscription, Watch With Us is recommending these three movies starring Robin Williams, Lana Condor and Daniel Radcliffe

There’s a family action movie, a hilarious parody biopic and a brand new rom-com. And even better, each of these movies is available for free, without any subscription required.

‘Jumanji’ (1995)

This family adventure features one of Robin Williams‘ most iconic roles. Williams shows off his comedic and dramatic chops as Alan Parrish, a boy who is transported to the dangerous board game world of Jumanji and trapped there for decades.

14 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, More

When two children (Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce) rediscover the game and inadvertently release Alan, they must find Alan’s old friend Sarah (Bonnie Hunt) and complete the game to make all of Jumanji’s chaos disappear. The movie is funny, often scary and sweet without being corny — it’s no wonder it became a classic that spawned two awesome sequels.

Watch Jumanji on YouTube.

‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ (2022)

There’s no better way to tell the story of “Weird Al” Yankovic, the king of song parodies, than with a parody of movies about musicians. Weird: The Al Yankovic story stars Daniel Radcliffe as the young accordion player in this pastiche of musical biopic cliches that never happened to the real “Weird Al.” His parents don’t support his dream! He falls hard into the party lifestyle and gets addicted to drugs! He loses sight of what the music’s really about, man!

Radcliffe’s an unexpected casting choice, but he’s actually perfect for the role. He commits hard to the hilarity, playing it completely serious and showing his seriously multifaceted skills. Weird is a bit like Hot Rod meets Bohemian Rhapsody, and it’s full of cameos from stars like Rainn Wilson, Jack BlackEvan Rachel Wood and Lin-Manuel Miranda. It’s definitely the best thing to ever come out of The Roku Channel, which we know doesn’t mean much, but trust us — it’s worth a watch.

‘Worth the Wait’ (2025)

A new, original romantic comedy from TubiWorth the Wait is reminiscent of Love, Actually or Valentine’s Day with its interconnected cast who all have their own storylines and love stories. This movie, however, stars an all-Asian cast, including Lana Condor (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), Ross Butler (Riverdale, 13 Reasons Why) and Elodie Yung (The Cleaning Lady).

3 Underrated Hulu Movies to Watch This Weekend (May 30-June 1)

It’s the perfect light, fluffy film to get you in a summer romance kind of mood as we head into the first weekend of June. Watch Worth the Wait on Tubi.

Donald Trump Says He Wouldn’t Rule Out a Pardon for Diddy: 'Nobody's Asked'

30 May 2025 at 13:02

President Donald Trump was asked whether he’d consider pardoning Sean “Diddy” Combs and said he hasn’t ruled it out.

Trump, 78, was asked about the idea during an Oval Office press conference on Friday, May 30. “Well, nobody’s asked,” the president said in response to a question from Fox News’ Peter Doocy. “I know people are thinking about it.”

Diddy, 55, is currently on trial in New York City on federal charges of sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all of the allegations against him.

“First of all, I’d look at what’s happening,” Trump continued on Friday. “I haven’t been watching it too closely, although it’s certainly getting a lot of coverage.”

A Complete Timeline of Allegations in the Diddy Trial: Freak Offs and More

Trump and Diddy were once friendly, though the president said on Friday that he hasn’t spoken to the rapper in years. “He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics … that relationship busted up, from what I read,” Trump added. “I don’t know — he didn’t tell me that, but I’d read some little bit nasty statements in the paper all of a sudden.”

The president went on to claim that his personal relationship with Diddy wouldn’t have any bearing on whether he decided to pardon him.

“I would certainly look at the facts,” he said. “If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me.”

Diddy’s trial began at NYC’s Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse on May 5 and is expected to continue through early July. While Trump could theoretically pardon him after the jury reaches its verdict, it’s also within his power to preemptively pardon him. Earlier this year, for example, former President Joe Biden preemptively pardoned members of his family as well as former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci to prevent “politically motivated prosecutions.”

Diddy's Ex-Employee Accuses Him of 'Psychological Abuse': Daily Updates

The question about Trump pardoning Diddy comes days after the president made headlines for pardoning reality star Todd Chrisley and his wife, Julie Chrisley. The Chrisley Knows Best couple were indicted on fraud charges in 2019. While they each maintained their innocence, Todd and Julie were found guilty in 2022. Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while his wife was set to serve seven years. Their sentences were reduced by nearly two years in 2024.

Amid their daughter Savannah Chrisley’s fight for their release, Trump signed a formal pardon earlier this week.

“It’s a terrible thing, but it’s a great thing, because your parents are going to be free and clean,” Trump, 78, said in a Tuesday, May 27, phone call to Savannah, 27. “I hope we can do it by tomorrow. I don’t know them, but give them my regards. Wish them a good life.”

Savannah picked Todd, 56, up from his Florida prison on Wednesday, May 28, while her brother Grayson, 19, picked their mother up in Kentucky that same day. Savannah shared a photo of the family reunion one day later.

Mama June Gives Weight Update Amid Separate 'Health Issues'

30 May 2025 at 12:58

Mama June Shannon is down 300 pounds — and she’s kept it off despite giving up weight loss medication.

Mama June, 45, tells Us Weekly exclusively that she’s been off the injections since December but has maintained her weight between 194 and 197 pounds in the months since.

“Not judging anyone who’s on the weight loss shot because if you are then it’s fine, but I don’t take the weight loss shot anymore due to the fact that it is a stepping stone, but it’s not a fix-all, be-all,” she says while promoting season 7 of Mama June: Family Crisis. “You have to make it a lifestyle change. So I made the lifestyle changes, and I know I can move forward with the lifestyle changes.”

Mama June has been open about her weight loss journey, previously chronicling her extensive surgeries, including a gastric sleeve in 2015. Years after her operation, she gained back approximately 100 pounds and turned to semaglutide injections when her effort to shed the extra weight stalled.

‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

She tells Us that she’s living proof that those who stop using “the shot” will not automatically gain the weight back.

It turns out her decision to get off semaglutide came by accident. Mama June realized she could stay healthy without the meds when she embarked on a 10-day road trip without them.

“I left my medication at home and realized in 10 days I could do without it,” she says. “I didn’t get back on it.”

That doesn’t mean Mama June has put her health concerns behind her. She underwent a “surprise” hysterectomy earlier this year and shares that she has other health problems that she’s not ready to disclose.

“I’m still dealing with health issues now,” she says. “We’re not releasing [it] to the public until we get all the answers.”

Honey Boo Boo Gets Real About Her Body Confidence: 'I'm Completely Healthy'

Thankfully, she has her daughter Alana Thompson, a.k.a. Honey Boo Boo, by her side. Now 19, Alana is studying to become a nurse.

“She’s been dumbing it down for us,” Mama June says. “She’s like, ‘No Mama, this is what you really have; this is what’s really going on.”

She then said to her daughter, “When we go to this other doctor when we get back, I need you to dumb it down some more.”

Mama June: Family Crisis premieres Friday, May 30, at 8 p.m. ET via WeTV, ALLBLK and AMC+.

Everything We Know About Todd Chrisley’s New Reality Show With His Family

30 May 2025 at 12:49

Todd Chrisley and his family are ready to keep it real on reality TV once again.

After Chrisley Knows Best came to an end in March 2023, fans have been unable to see Todd and his wife, Julie Chrisley, showcase their family life with kids Savannah, Chase and Grayson Chrisley. (The couple also share adopted daughter Chloe, and Todd has two older kids from a previous relationship.)

In May 2025, however, news broke that Lifetime was working with the Chrisley family on a new docuseries tentatively titled The Untitled Chrisleys Project.

“The Chrisleys don’t know best anymore,” Lifetime said when teasing the project. “But they’re doing their best to be there for each other.”

Which TV Shows Are Renewed in 2025-2026?

While the show was initially focused on Savannah and Chase’s lives as their parents served prison sentences for bank fraud and tax evasion — charges they still deny — things quickly changed when President Donald Trump pardoned both Todd and Julie.

Cameras quickly picked back up and anticipation is building to see what this reality show will reveal about the controversial family.

Keep reading to find out what Us Weekly knows about the project that is sure to get reality TV fans talking:

What Was Lifetime’s Original Vision for the Show?

When the Chrisleys’ show was first announced in May 2025, Lifetime promised that the family would be “exposing the raw truth of their lives — past and present.”

“This series delivers an unfiltered, deeply personal look at their journey,” Lifetime stated, per The Hollywood Reporter, “and introduces the real Chrisleys as they navigate this new chapter.”

How Will the Show Change With Todd and Julie Chrisley Pardoned?

In a May 2025 press conference with her father, Savannah gave a glimpse into how production was working hard to capture big moments in her family’s changing reality.

“We had been filming, and we had just wrapped filming for all intents and purposes, and then we [got] the call that they had been pardoned,” she shared with Us and other reporters. “So we picked right back up.”

Todd also confirmed he began filming “literally the night that [Julie and I] got home.”

Savannah believes the new series will allow fans to see the moment Todd and Julie reunited after serving part of their sentences in separate prisons. (Todd served his sentence in Florida, while Julie was in Kentucky.)

What Has the Chrisley Family Teased About the Show?

Savannah shared further details about the upcoming reality show during a press conference.

“I think this new show is going to give, first off, it’s going to give people a look into the trial and things that we went through, and we’re going to set the record straight,” she said before confirming Chrisley family attorney Alex Little will be part of the show. “It comes full circle because we go back, and then we get to the point where mom and dad are pardoned and now we move forward with our lives.”

Savannah continued, “For me personally, now I get to be a normal 27-year-old, almost 28 now.”

How Did the Chrisley Family Become Famous? 

Fans first met Todd and his family in 2014 when USA Network premiered Chrisley Knows Best. The show revolved around the lives of the real estate tycoon and his wealthy family as they grew up in Georgia, before moving to Tennessee.

The show inspired a spinoff titled Growing Up Chrisley, which premiered in 2019.

When Does the Chrisley Family’s New Show Premiere?

Lifetime has not officially announced a premiere date for the new show but hopes to air the first episode by the end of 2025.

Todd Chrisley Comments on His Post-Prison Body and Botox: ‘Didn’t Wear Off’

30 May 2025 at 12:37

Todd Chrisley got real about his time in prison.

Chrisley, 56, opened up about his daily routine in the Pensacola Federal Prison Camp while chatting about how the media thought he looked “jacked” in a press conference on Friday, May 30.

“I had nothing to do other than to read and to work out,” he said. Todd, who was arrested with his wife Julie Chrisley for fraud, continued, “I worked out every morning at 10:45 until 12, with my buddies there, and I read, and my walk with Christ became deeper, and I talked to my daughter every day [and] to Chase to Grayson.” (The couple shares Chase, 28, and Grayson, 19, along with daughter Savannah, 27. Todd is also the dad of Lindsie, 35, and Kyle, 33, whom he shares with his ex-wife Teresa Terry.)

Todd added, “I was able to email with Julie every day. Maybe it’s all the residual Botox that didn’t wear off.”

All the Bombshells From Todd Chrisley’s 1st Press Conference Since Pardon

Todd was released from prison following a presidential pardon from Donald Trump earlier this week.

Todd and Julie, 52, were arrested in 2019 for tax evasion, bank and wire fraud, and conspiracy charges. They were both found guilty in 2022, and he was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Julie was given seven years. They were also ordered to pay $17.8 million in restitution.

The couple maintained their innocence and got their sentences reduced by nearly two years in September 2023.

Elsewhere in the press conference, Todd explained how grateful he was to be out of prison.

“I want to thank first and foremost my lord and savior because that’s who got me through it,” he said, gushing that Savannah helped advocate for her parents. “She has fought a long fight and for any parent to see their child fight this hard, it’s a double-edged sword. It’s a blessing and then your heart breaks because your child has been placed in that position.”

He added: “Even though this pardon has happened, I still was convicted of something that I did not do. It could be you. It could be any of you.”

3 Underrated Peacock Movies to Watch This Weekend (May 30-June 1)

30 May 2025 at 12:35

If you’re looking for something to watch on Peacock this weekend, you may want to get started early.

Because Peacock has a high turnover for its movie lineup, the films streaming through May 31 may not be there when June begins this Sunday.

To help you get ahead of the potential departures, the Watch With Us team has selected the three underrated Peacock movies you should watch this weekend.

This week’s picks include the story behind an incredible music scandal, a haunting tale of revenge and a very modern update for one of the classic Universal monsters.

14 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, More

‘Girl You Know It’s True’ (2024)

Unless you grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, the name Milli Vanilli probably doesn’t mean anything to you. But this group was behind one of the biggest scandals in pop history when it was disclosed that neither Rob Pilatus nor Fab Morvan sang any of their songs on their Grammy-winning album.

Girl You Know It’s True shares its name with Milli Vanilli’s biggest hit, and casts Tijan Njie and Elan Ben Ali as Rob and Fab, respectively. While the film does acknowledge Brad Howell (David Mayonga) and John Davis (Samuel S. Franklin) as the real singers behind Milli Vanilli, this isn’t their story. Instead, the film explores how Rob and Fab were seduced by the trappings of fame and their own self-destructive tendencies even before the truth was revealed.

Girl You Know It’s True is streaming on Peacock.

‘Last Night in Soho’ (2021)

Director Edgar Wright‘s Last Night in Soho isn’t a typical ghost story, but the dead definitely make themselves known to Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie), a young woman who is studying to become a fashion designer. At night, Eloise experiences uncommonly vivid dreams in which she steps into the life of Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy), a beautiful woman who lived in London during the ’60s.

Eloise is so taken by Sandie’s life that she models herself and her fashion after her. However, the longer that Eloise lingers in Sandie’s past, the more she experiences the dark side of her life. Eloise also experiences disturbing calls from beyond the grave that threaten to drive her out of her mind.

Last Night In Soho is streaming on Peacock.

‘The Invisible Man’ (2021)

Since The Handmaid’s Tale concluded earlier this week, it’s a good time to see how the star of that show, Elisabeth Moss, fares when she gets to lead a movie as well. The Invisible Man casts Moss as Cecilia Kass, a brilliant architect who has been trapped in an abusive relationship with billionaire inventor Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen).

3 Underrated Netflix Shows to Watch This Weekend (May 30-June 1)

After Cecilia escapes the relationship, she’s told that Adrian committed suicide and left some of his money for her. But she’s wary about that, especially since an unseen presence begins tormenting Cecilia day and night. She correctly guesses that someone is using an experimental invisible suit to make her life a living Hell. But is it Adrian? Or has someone else targeted Cecilia?

What to Know About Gigi and Bella Hadid's Dad Mohamed Hadid

30 May 2025 at 12:33

Mohamed Hadid is best known as dad to daughters Gigi and Bella Hadid — but he’s also made a name for himself in the real estate industry.

Mohamed was born in Israel in November 1948 but his parents and seven siblings left their home amid the Palestine War. They fled to Lebanon before settling down in Syria in 1948. While Mohamed and his family obtained citizenship in Jordan, they didn’t stay put as they moved around before immigrating to the United States.

After completing his studies in the U.S., Mohamed dabbled in restoring and reselling classic cars and opened a nightclub in Greece before he found his passion for real estate. Mohamed made his fortune as a developer.

While Mohamed is well-regarded in his industry, he is best known for his relationship with model Yolanda Hadid. The pair were married from 1994 to 2000 and share three children: Gigi, Bella and Anwar. Throughout their marriage, Mohamed made appearances on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills before their split.

Keep scrolling to learn more about Mohamed:

Mohamed Moved to the United States at Age 14

While in Syria, Mohamed’s father joined the United States Information Agency (USIA) and Voice of America (VOA) which led to him getting a job in Washington D.C. as a writer, editor and translator. When Mohamed was 14, the family immigrated to the United States.

Mohamed was the sole Arab student at the time when he graduated from Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia. He went on to attend North Carolina State University and MIT.

After finding success at his nightclub in Greece, Mohamed took the profits from his venture to dabble in real estate. He worked to develop multiple Ritz Carlton hotels and faced off against President Donald Trump to build a resort in Aspen, Colorado.

Mohamed is best known for his work on the Bel Air mansion, Le Belvedere, which sold for $50 million in 2010. He also created The Crescent Palace in Los Angeles which sold for $58 million in 2012.

While Mohamed found success in the market, he also faced legal trouble. While working on another Bel Air mansion in 2015, Mohamed was accused of violating local zoning laws. The Los Angeles City Council decided to pursue criminal charges against him. In May 2017, Mohamed pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges from mansion construction issues for which he did not receive city approval. Two months later, he was sentenced to 200 hours of community service, summoned to return $14,191 to the City of Los Angeles in damages and fined $3,000.

Mohamed Represented Jordan in the Olympics

In addition to his real estate career, Mohamed also has an affinity for speed skiing. In 1992, Mohamed — who was 43 at the time — competed in the demonstration at the 1992 Winter Olympics and represented Jordan. He remains the sole person to have represented Jordan in the Winter Olympics.

Mohamed Has Been Married Twice and Had a Failed Engagement

Mohamed was first married to Mary Butler and the twosome welcomed two daughters: Marielle and Alana. After their split in 1992, Mohamed moved on with Yolanda whom he wed in 1994. The duo remained together until their divorce in 2000.

In 2014, Mohamed got engaged to model Shiva Safai. The former couple, who had a 33-year age gap, appeared on the reality series Second Wives Club together which aired in 2017. Mohamed and Safi ended their relationship in 2019.

Mohamed Has Six Kids

Mohamed became a father for the first time in 1980 following the arrival of Marielle. He and Butler then welcomed Alana in 1985. In 1995, Mohamed and Yolanda welcomed their first child together, Gigi. They later expanded their family with Bella and Anwar in 1996 and 1999, respectively.

In May 2025, Gigi and Bella revealed that they discovered they had a half-sister on their father’s side named Aydan Nix.

“Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy,” Gigi and Bella told the Daily Mail in a statement. “Aydan was born and raised in Florida, growing up with the man she lovingly knew as her father until his sudden passing when she was 19.”

Following the death of Nix’s father, she “decided to take a genetic test out of curiosity” and discovered her “biological connection” to Gigi and Bella. (Nix’s mother is Terri Hatfield Dull.)

“We first connected in late 2023, and from that moment on, we’ve embraced Aydan with open arms,” the statement continued. “She’s spent time with all of us, including our dad, and we’ve cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family.”
