Brooke Shields Uses This Serum On Her Signature Brows — And It’s on Amazon!

14 January 2025 at 09:38

Brooke Shields is a Hollywood icon for many reasons, but her thick eyebrows are definitely her signature trait. A few months back, the model and actress, 59, shared her 10-minute beauty routine with Allure, and as a group that’s always on the go, we were more than curious to hear about the products she uses. Unsurprisingly, Shields’ biggest beauty hacks include items from her own haircare line, Commence, which is formulated for women over 40, and she relies on highlighter and minimal makeup to create a fresh, sultry everyday look. However, we were surprised to discover that the Suddenly Susan star also uses the viral GrandeBROW eyebrow booster serum as part of her daily routine.

Brooke Shields Said This Serum Helped 'Grow Back' Her Eyelashes

After pointing out that you’re supposed to use the brow-enhancing serum at night, Shields said that she likes to “brush up my brows a little bit without having to do much with a pencil.” She added that she uses the serum to help position her brows and that “it helps them grow” — which is the kind of multitasking we can all get behind for our own speedy get-ready routines!

While Shields could have easily gatekept the fact that she uses this product to achieve her enviably thick brows, she is hardly alone in loving the follicle-boosting serum. Made by the same brand responsible for the cult-favorite GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum (which has 50,000+ reviews), the GrandeBROW Serum is packed with ingredients to help make the most of your brows. Whether you’ve overplucked or are experiencing age-related brow loss, the mix of Hyaluronic and amino acids condition hairs while the serum works to support growth. Although it takes up to four months to see the full benefits, improvements are visible within weeks.

You don’t have to just take our word for it, either — the before-and-after photos are seriously impressive!

Brooke Shields Is Obsessed with This Creamy Lip Liner

One shopper raves, “I can’t believe that at 63 years old I am getting my eyebrows back! After years of overplucking in the ’80s, my eyebrows were nonexistent. I heard about this product on a podcast. Be patient — it does take about a few months to get results. But hey, after 45 years with skimpy eyebrows, it’s worth the wait!”

“I’m 53, menopause in full swing, losing my brows more and more every month,” said another 5-star reviewer, who submitted before-and-after photos. “I used Anastasia brow serum for a year. It barely did a thing, so I stopped about eight or nine months ago. This is one tube worth of growth. They aren’t great — but to me, they feel like throw-back Brooke Shields eyebrows! The photos don’t really do them justice.”

If your brows have seen fuller days, shop Shields’ pick to reclaim them! There’s nothing to lose but sparse brows!

'Traitors' Host Alan Cumming Nearly Broke Up a Fight During 'Brutal' Season

14 January 2025 at 09:13
'Traitors' Host Alan Cumming Nearly Broke Up a Fight During 'Brutal' Season

The Traitors raised the stakes in season 3 with a physical argument that nearly broke out during a banishment roundtable.

“Everything has been upped a bit and the contestants bring their energy and their backstories. So that makes it a whole new thing as well. I love the fact of how each season is so different to the one before, even though, structurally, it has a similarity,” host Alan Cumming told Newsweek on Thursday, January 9. “The ending to this one is not like anything we’ve seen in the previous two seasons.”

Cumming, 59, didn’t expect for things to come to such a head, adding, “There’s bits in it that are so intense and brutal. I actually thought I was going to have to break up a fight at round table one time. It was really terrifying. I don’t break up many fights.”

While reflecting on the newest season, Cumming recalled plans behind the scenes to elevate the show following its overwhelming popularity.

All Rules and Behind-the-Scenes Secrets You Didn’t Know About ‘The Traitors’

“Partly because the second season was so successful, there was a pressure to not just repeat ourselves, it actually upped the ante. When you do a show like this, the first season nobody knows what’s going to happen. It’s virgin territory,” he continued. “Then, of course, people watch it. So it’s a question of pulling the rug from under them and keeping it fresh and having these twists and surprises. Even with my costumes and everything, we upped the ante on that. I just think it was a combination of all these things.”

Cumming teased that season 3 “hit its stride” in a way that the audience isn’t expecting. “It is bigger. I’m sort of a cult leader. I have my followers. I didn’t have followers in the other seasons,” he quipped. “So now I’ve gone from just like a dandy, lord of the manor in his castle, to official cult leader. I’m fine with it.”

Inspired by Dutch series De Verraders (which previously led to a popular UK version) , The Traitors brings together celebs, especially reality TV stars from different franchises — including Survivor, Big Brother, Real Housewives and more — as they compete in a mafia-style game for up to $250,000.

Season 3 features Wells Adams, Gabby Windey, Ciara Miller, Chrishell Stause, Jeremy Collins, Carolyn Wiger, Tony Vlachos, Bob the Drag Queen, Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes. Bob Harper, Dylan Efron, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, Sam Asghari and Nikki Bella made up the rest of the group with later additions Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano, Wes Bergmann and Derrick Levasseur.

A new cast also meant a new version of Cumming.

“It’s sort of about the language that he uses. It’s very flooded and kind of arcane. Instead of saying, ‘Hey everybody, quiet down,’ like I would say, he would say ‘Players, there must only be one voice we hear at the round table,'” Cumming added about his evolving approach. “It’s about this kind of language and authority that he has, I think that is the secret to it. It’s amazing, when you are playing a character, it’s sort of like doing drag. When you’re doing drag, you have an alter ego, and so I’m kind of doing Traitors drag, and I have this character, and obviously it is quite draggy with all my swishing cloaks and everything.”

He continued: “But also, it gives me the freedom to be this other person, to be much more heightened and aggressive. And I obviously play lots of big characters. In real life, I’m not shy, but I definitely don’t walk in and go, ‘Hello everybody. I’m here!'”

After season 1 (which featured a mix of celebrity as well as non-celebrity contestants) debuted in 2023, creator Marc Pos explained the guidelines Cumming has to follow.

How Much Reality Stars Get Paid for 'Vanderpump Rules' and More

“The host is not there very much, and has to be careful not to manipulate the game, influence viewers, or spark doubts within the minds of contestants who are in their bubble,” Pos told Variety at the time. “But when they’re there, they have to be kind of a friendly yet intimidating figure.”

New episodes of The Traitors are released Thursdays on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET.

Kate Middleton Says Her Cancer Is in 'Remission'

14 January 2025 at 09:04

After sharing with the world in September that she had completed her chemotherapy treatments, Princess Kate Middleton is in remission.

In an Instagram post shared on Tuesday, January 14, Middleton wrote, “I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year.”

“My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything,” the princess continued. “We couldn’t have asked for more. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional.”

“In my new role as Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden, my hope is, that by supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing, we might save many more lives, and transform the experience of all those impacted by cancer.”

“It is a relief to now be in remission,” she shared. “And I remain focussed on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal.”

Kate Middleton Discusses Cancer 'Side Effects' During Hospital Visit

“I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.”

In a rare public outing this month, Kate and Prince William visited the hospital where she underwent her cancer treatments after receiving a diagnosis in early 2024.

During her visit, the Daily Mail reports that Kate talked with the staff and other patients in the midst of their own cancer battles.

During one of her conversations, the princess got honest about the side effects that come with various cancer treatments.

“You think treatment’s finished, crack on with that … daily tasks, but that’s still like a real challenge,” she told the hospital staff.

“And talking … the words totally disappear… understanding that as a patient, yes there are side effects around treatment, but actually there are more long-term side effects.”

Kate continued to say how important it is to continue holistic care “on good days and bad days,” the Daily Mail reports.

“I feel like it’s sometimes for the loved ones around us. They need support just as much as I did as the patient.”

Princess Kate Middleton Is ‘In a Positive Place’ After Finishing Chemo

In a conversation with a current patient, Kate said, “The resilience you need to get through, first of all, a small taster of what you’ve gone through … It’s to keep coming back … to be as positive as you are. The treatments are really so different and so varied, it impacts families differently.”

A spokesperson for Kensington Palace said Kate decided to visit the Royal Marsden Hospital “to both show her gratitude to the incredible team, but also highlight the world-leading care and treatment the Marsden provides.”

In her September video, Kate explained “the last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”

“This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life,” she continued, “which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”

Why Brooke Shields Quit Her Hallmark Movie Contract

14 January 2025 at 09:00
Why Brooke Shields Decided to Renegotiate Her Hallmark Channel Contract After Only 3 Movies

Brooke Shields is getting real about why she parted ways with the Hallmark Channel after signing a massive deal with the network in 2014.

Shields, 59, recalled signing a 16-film deal with Hallmark Network more than a decade ago in her latest memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman, which was released on Tuesday, January 14.

“I’d completed only three when I realized I had to renegotiate. I’d been hired, I was told, to help change the face of the network,” she wrote. “They wanted me to be funny and bring more comedy to their offerings, but as filming progressed on each of the Flower Shop Mysteries — the franchise I was hired to headline — all the humor had evaporated.”

Shields starred as Abby Knight, a flower shop owner and ex-lawyer, in the three films. Her first movie with the network, titled Mum’s the Word: A Flower Shop Mystery, premiered in January 2016. Her second, Flower Shop Mystery: Snipped in the Bud, aired in April 2016. Shields’ third and final appearance as Abby Knight came in June 2016 with Flower Shop Mystery: Dearly Depotted.

Brooke Shields Opens Up About Her Daughters Now Being Noticed Instead of Her

“Not everything is for everyone, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Hallmark Channel — God knows it has a huge fan base — but it was not the future I wanted for my career,” Shields wrote. “I’m never against hard work, but I am now a believer in only saying yes to work that serves me.”

The actress explained that she could “make a living with other opportunities,” especially ones that allowed her to spend more time with her family. (Shields shares daughters Rowan, 21, and Grier, 18, with husband Chris Henchy.)

“I simply could not do ten more films that were not what I was promised and felt completely wrong for me,” she wrote. “So I quit. I definitely surprised some people, and in plenty of ways I surprised myself. I certainly would never have done that in my 20s.”

Despite ending her partnership with the network, Shields returned years later for one of their famous holiday films. She starred in the 2021 flick A Castle for Christmas alongside Cary Elwes.

Brooke Shields on Getting a 2nd Chance at 1st Love in 'Mother of the Bride'

A lot of Shields’ latest memoir focuses on how her mindset has changed by getting older in the public eye. The actress did tell Us Weekly exclusively in a recent cover story that she feels “more confident” than ever ahead of her 60th birthday.

“It doesn’t mean I’m less ambitious. If anything, I’m probably more ambitious because I feel I deserve it more. I still get afraid. I still get nervous I’m not good enough,” she shared. “I still have to force myself to push through, [but] we are becoming unignorable. We’re pretty formidable, and I think that’s a little frightening for everybody.”

Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old is out now.

How the Sports World Has Been Impacted by the Wildfires in Los Angeles

The tragic wildfires that have engulfed large parts of southern California have greatly impacted the sports world and prominent members of the sports community. 

Since a fire first sparked in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 7, more than 17,000 acres have been burned. Subsequent fires in the region have burned a total of more than 40,000 acres, leaving at least 24 people dead. 

In the aftermath of the blazes, professional sports teams in the area — including the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and NHL’s Los Angeles Kings — have been forced to postpone games. The NFL’s Los Angeles Rams relocated a game altogether, moving their Wild Card playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings to Glendale, Arizona. 

On Monday, January 13, all 12 major Los Angeles-area professional sports teams — including the MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels, NHL’s Anaheim Ducks, WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks and MLS’ Los Angeles Galaxy — pledged a donation of more than $8 million to “support victims in need, as well as those fighting the fires.

Los Angeles Rams Relocate Playoff Game to Arizona

The Los Angeles Rams were forced to relocate their Wild Card round playoff game, originally scheduled to take place at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, to Glendale, Arizona. 

In a game that was as emotional as it was cathartic, the Rams defeated the Vikings 27-9, earning a date with the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL’s Divisional Round on Sunday, January 19. 

The crowd was filled with Rams fans, many of whom had made the trip from Los Angeles. Kelly Stafford, the wife of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, was responsible for chartering multiple buses from L.A. to make sure diehard Rams fans could be in attendance. 

“We knew we weren’t just playing for us,” Matthew, 36, told reporters after the game. “We were playing for people back home who needed something to watch and enjoy.”

Lakers, Clippers and Kings All Reschedule Games

The NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers and the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings were all forced to reschedule games during the ongoing destruction of the fires. 

The Lakers’ home games scheduled for Thursday, January 9 and Saturday, January 11 against the Charlotte Hornets and San Antonio Spurs, respectively, were both postponed. Meanwhile, the Clippers home game scheduled for January 11 against the Charlotte Hornets was also postponed. Makeup dates for the games have not been announced.

The Los Angeles Kings also postponed their home game scheduled for Wednesday, January 8 against the Calgary Flames. No makeup date has been announced.

On Monday, January 13, the Lakers and Clippers both returned to their home floors — the Lakers at downtown L.A’s Crypto.com Arena and the Clippers at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome — for games against the Spurs and Heat, respectively. 

“Sports really work well when the team, the organization, has a connection to the city and the fans feel a connection to the team,” Lakers head coach JJ Redick said before the game, a 126-102 loss to the Spurs. “And then it just flows in some sort of eternal circle of that. The Lakers have that with the city of Los Angeles. Having played here before and lived here, I’m well aware of that relationship. And part of the reason I wanted to coach here was to participate in that.”

Following a 2-1 road overtime win over the Winnipeg on Saturday, January 11, the Los Angeles Kings’ posted via X, “For LA 🤍.”

Los Angeles Lakers head coach, JJ Redick, lost his home in the fire that destroyed the Pacific Palisades. 

“I went through most of the village and it’s all gone, and I don’t think you can ever prepare yourself for something like that,” Redick, 40. told reporters on Friday, January 10. “Our home is gone.”

Redick continued, “We were renting for the year to try to figure out where we wanted to be long-term. Everything we owned that was of any importance to us, almost 20 years together as a couple and 10 years of parenting, was in that house. There’s certain things that you can’t replace, that will never be replaced.”

The first-year NBA coach was sharing the home with his wife, Chelsea Redick, and their two sons: Knox, 10, and Kai, 8.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr lost his childhood home in the Pacific Palisades, which was still the residence of his 90-year-old mother, Ann.

“My mom is in good hands, but her house is gone,” Kerr, 59, told reporters on Thursday, January 9.

Kerr added, “That’s my hometown. All my friends who are from there pretty much all lost their homes — their family homes, their childhood homes. Our high school is gone. The town looks like it’s just been completely wiped out. It’s surreal and devastating. Fortunately, almost everyone escaped. But it’s hard to even fathom how Pacific Palisades rebuilds and how it becomes a thriving community again. It’s just shocking.”

Los Angeles Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard Leaves Team

Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard left the team on Wednesday, January 8 to be with his family, who owns a home in the Pacific Palisades. 

“You definitely have to take care of home,” Clippers coach, Tyronn Lue, announced. 

Lue added, “Totally had my support 100 percent. Going back, checking on his family and kids, making sure they’re well. And he got back, and they’re doing okay, so just happy and thankful for that.”

Leonard missed the Clippers’ game against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night, a 126-103 loss, after making his season debut on Saturday, January 4 after a knee injury kept him out of action.

According to NBA insider Chris Hynes, Leonard’s girlfriend, Kishele Shipley, and the couple’s two children were forced to evacuate the home. 

Per TMZ, Leonard’s home survived the fire and he returned to the Clippers, appearing in the team’s 109-98 win over the Miami Heat on Monday, January 13. 

Lindsay Hubbard Addresses Rumors Dorinda Medley Leaked Her Pregnancy

Lindsay Hubbard Addresses Rumors Dorinda Medley Leaked Her Pregnancy

Lindsay Hubbard is speaking out for the first time about Dorinda Medley allegedly spreading rumors about her pregnancy.

“I bit my tongue,” Hubbard, 38, shared during the Tuesday, January 14, episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast. “I haven’t spoken ever about this. I’ve never had this conversation with anybody.”

Hubbard revealed “what happened” with Medley, 60, when addressing whether the Real Housewives of New York City alum actually “blew up” her pregnancy.

The Summer House star shared that she heard in May 2024 that Medley apparently “got really drunk” at Real Housewives of New Jersey star Margaret Josephs’ house during a Cinco de Mayo party.

“Now, I don’t speak to Dorinda. We have always been very friendly when we have run into each other. I actually really have enjoyed my interactions with Dorinda in the past,” Hubbard said. “Dorinda is drunk, going around telling everyone that I’m pregnant, but unfortunately, I lost the baby, and I had a miscarriage.”

Summer House's Lindsay Hubbard Breaks Down Pregnancy Timeline

Hubbard said she wasn’t at the party herself, but “multiple people” told her what was apparently being said.

At the time, rumors started swirling that Hubbard was supposed to appear on The Traitors season 3. Medley allegedly shared details about Hubbard’s pregnancy with the show’s producers. (Hubbard’s Traitors casting was never confirmed by Peacock. Her Summer House costar Ciara Miller is featured on the show, which premiered earlier this month.)

“This big rumor comes out about how Dorinda had such a problem that she found out I was pregnant, but I shouldn’t be able to compete,” Hubbard shared on Tuesday’s podcast episode. “Now, I have a problem with this because why? I’m not affecting you, OK? Now, yes, is it hard to compete on Traitors when you’re pregnant because it’s physically and mentally just a lot on your body?”

She continued, “Why also are you getting drunk and running around a party and talking about how I had a miscarriage when I didn’t? Especially because I’ve already had a miscarriage in my life.”

Lindsay Hubbard Defends Filming New 'Summer House' Season While Pregnant

Hubbard suffered a miscarriage in 2021 when dating Winter House star Jason Cameron.

“I’ve never spoken to Dorinda about any of this,” Hubbard continued. “It was so random to me.”

Hubbard said it was a “really brutal time” during the early days of her pregnancy, especially as she attempted to figure out who leaked her pregnancy. (Hubbard announced in July 2024 that she and boyfriend Turner Kufe were expecting their first baby together. Their daughter, Gemma, was born in December 2024.)

A Bravo source told Us Weekly in July 2024 that there was “absolutely no truth” to the rumor that Medley leaked Hubbard’s pregnancy.

Brooke Shields Gets Candid About Aging

Brooke Shields always keeps it real when it comes to aging.

Shields, 59, opened up about getting older in the public eye while making an appearance on Good Morning America on Monday, January 13, while promoting her memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman, which dropped on Tuesday, January 14.

“It’s important to understand where you’ve been, but I think it’s really joyous to say, ‘I may not know where I’m going, but I’m here,’” Shields said. “I want to look my best, and I want to be healthy,” the actresses added.

While Shields admitted that she wishes “things were a little higher and tighter,’” she still feels that she’s “earned everything I have on my face.”

“It’s important to pat yourself on the back and say, ‘What do you want to do now?’ You’re no longer tied to biology in the same way,” Shields explained.

This is hardly the first time Shields has been candid when it comes to aging. Earlier this month, Shields exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about the changing views around getting older in a modern-day world.

“Yes, [aging] does have the downsides, but [women are] no longer chasing something: gotta have babies by this age, gotta get married, gotta finish college,” she told Us. “There are so many decades where we’re just trying to get to the next stage. And then there’s a shift.”

Shields continued, adding that aging has made her feel “more ambitious” in pushing boundaries in life.

“I feel I deserve it more. I still get afraid. I still get nervous I’m not good enough. I still have to force myself to push through, [but] we are becoming unignorable,” the Pretty Baby star said. “We’re pretty formidable, and I think that’s a little frightening for everybody.”

Scheana Shay celebrated Ally Lewber‘s birthday with her one month after James Kennedy was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence.

“Showered our Capricorn Queen with love tonight,” Shay, 39, captioned an Instagram Story of her and Lewber, 29, on Monday, January 13.

Earlier that day, Lewber offered astrology advice to her followers amid the full moon.

“So today, we have a full moon in Cancer at 23 degrees. Full moons represent peaks, heightened emotions, heightened everything,” the astrologer shared in an Instagram Reel. “When the moon is full, she’s like, ‘Remember me? I had to go through all of these phases over the past month and work really hard and set intentions and follow through on them so that I could be here tonight sparkling, shining.’”

James Kennedy and Girlfriend Ally Lewber's Relationship Timeline

Lewber explained how “this full moon is offering us opportunities to be protective and nurturing, emotional and maybe even a little nostalgic.”

“This full moon is sitting right next to Mars, which is retrograde in Cancer right now,” she continued. “Not my favorite placement, because the moon — which, again, is our emotions and safety — is sitting next to Mars, the planet of conflict and action. So this isn’t soothing or serene, but it is a moment to express our emotions or to vent or to just feel a sense of, ‘OK, I just need to address this thing that’s been bugging me,’ or, ‘OK, maybe I need to finally set some boundaries here.’”

Lewber concluded, “Basically, just be cautious of any irritants that might show up, and of course on a full moon always take time to at some point in the day to love yourself and be proud of how far you’ve come. Take an Epsom salt bath, journal, cry, feel the feelings, release the feelings and then give yourself a really big warm hug.”

Lewber has remained out of the spotlight after police were dispatched to Kennedy’s home in December 2024. Authorities received a call about an argument between a man and a woman and saw Kennedy, 32, allegedly grabbing the woman. Officers who responded to the scene did not see any visible injuries.

According to police records, the woman reportedly told the Burbank Police Department that “her boyfriend lifted her up and threw her to the ground.” Kennedy’s legal team subsequently released a statement on his behalf.

“We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” his attorneys said in a statement to Us after he was released on $20,000 bail. “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”

Lewber broke her silence after a source told Us that the couple were taking some space.

“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “I’m OK and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.”

Kennedy, for his part, has documented his commitment to his sobriety after the legal woes.

“I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones,” he wrote via Instagram last month. “Navigating challenging moments is not easy but I am determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.”

According to a source, Lewber and Kennedy haven’t made a decision about their future together.

“James and [Ally] are still living apart but haven’t broken up,” an insider close to the couple exclusively told Us on Monday. “James has been super focused on self-improvement and his sobriety and doing well. He’s been attending a schedule of meetings and support and taking it very seriously.”

The source added: “He’s also been in the studio making music, working out and spending time with good friends and his dog. He’s optimistic about the new year and really emphasizing his health and wellness.”

Paris Hilton is lending a helping hand to furry friends after the Los Angeles wildfires.

“Hey everyone, I am here at Pasadena Humane Society, and today I am here with this cat,” Hilton, 43, said via Instagram on Monday, January 13, while standing behind the cat’s cage. “He has been here for four days so far and does not have a collar or microchip so they don’t know who his owner is.”

Hilton explained she was showing the feline for fans to identify the cat’s face “so he can go back to his home.”

“And I’m also going to be fostering another dog who was surrendered by his family who lost their home in the fire,” Hilton said. “And we’re gonna go and see if there’s any other dogs where they are still looking for their owners.”

Hilton noted that she wanted her fans to know that Pasadena Humane Society “is such an incredible charity” and encouraged users to donate.

“I just wanted to come here today and to share my platform and raise awareness and really highlight incredible foundations that are just doing this work because these are our babies,” she said, while looking at the cat. “And we’re going to find your owner.”

The video ended with a close-up shot of the cat, who Hilton said was from the Altadena fires. Hilton noted that the cat’s ID number is A519218.

“I spent yesterday volunteering at the @PasadenaHumane Society, spending time with animals found after the wildfires 🥹,” Hilton wrote in the caption. “This beautiful cat was found without a collar in #Altadena and has been in the shelter for the last four days 💔. Please share with anyone you know from the Altadena area so we can reconnect this baby with his owner! His animal ID is A519218.”

She continued, “My nonprofit @1111Media Impact has contributed to support the shelter’s efforts, and we’re still raising funds to help displaced families and pets 💰Every donation makes a difference in providing emergency relief, housing, and supplies. If you’re able to donate or volunteer, the Pasadena Humane Society is an incredible charity to support! ❤🐶🐱 You can contribute directly to them or via my emergency fund at the link in bio 🙏🏼 .”

Hilton went on to share a carousel of snaps from her time volunteering with Baby2Baby and Pasadena Humane Society. In one image, Hilton hugged her new pooch, whose name is Zuzu, close to her chest.

“I’m so grateful that I’m able to bring home Zuzu, our new foster 🐶🐕💞 whose family unfortunately had to surrender her after their home was destroyed in the wildfires,” Hilton wrote in the comments section of her Instagram post. “Fostering is such an important way to help when you’re able to—if you can, please consider giving a temporary or permanent home to animals in need 🏡🐾.”

Prior to her visit to the organizations, Hilton shared on January 8 that she was among the many people in the Los Angeles area who lost their homes in the wildfires. The next day, Hilton shared a video of her returning to what remains of her home in Malibu.

“I’m standing here in what used to be our home, and the heartbreak is truly indescribable.💔🥺,” Hilton wrote via Instagram on January 9. “When I first saw the news, I was in complete shock—I couldn’t process it. But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces.😢💔

Hilton called the home a place where she and husband Carter Reum have “created the most beautiful memories as a family.” (The pair, who wed in 2021, share son Phoenix, 23 months, and daughter London, 12 months.)

“My loved ones, my babies, and my pets are safe.🥹 ,” she wrote. “That’s the most important thing, and I’m holding onto that gratitude with everything I have.”

How Much Reality Stars Get Paid for 'Vanderpump Rules' and More

14 January 2025 at 08:00

Whether competing on TV for a cash prize or simply being filmed while living your day-to-day life, reality television stars almost always get a paycheck — and it may be bigger than you think.

In 2021, Jason Tartick launched a “Trading Secrets” podcast, during which he is focused on “break[ing] the stigma that we shouldn’t be talking about money,” shining the light on reality television.

“Once a month, our goal is to do a reality TV series,” the Bachelorette alum told Us Weekly at the time of his podcast. “And we want to cover every single reality TV show out there to understand the differences — how are these people compensated? How have they been compensated after the show? Did they go back to work? Did they lose their job? How much did it cost to go on the show? Did it positively or negatively impact [you] … maybe you had to seek other expenses, such as therapy or things like that, and what is the cost of that? We want to uncover all that.”

Although most stars aren’t allowed to detail their contracts, many have been open about the amount of money they’ve spent going on a reality show. Elena Davies shared in 2021 that she spent around $5,000 on makeup, Botox, clothes and hair products before competing on season 19 of Big Brother.

Jillian Harris, who appeared on season 13 of The Bachelor and went on to become the Bachelorette, shared that while the women received goodie bags, half of the clothes didn’t fit.

“That was it. The girls do have to bring all of their own clothing and of course, they want to be wearing the best clothes EVER to be seen on TV in,” she wrote on her blog in 2016. “I had remortgaged my house and I spent something like $8,000 on clothing.”

Season 11 star Kaitlyn Bristowe claimed in April 2023 that she was initially offered $40,000, but hired a lawyer and asked to be paid the same amount as season 19 Bachelor Chris Soules.
“He changed a lot and negotiated my contract big time for me,” she said on the “Trading Secrets” podcast. “One of the executive producers said to me, ‘You got an entertainment lawyer, and you're asking for this amount of money? I'm sorry. I thought this is about love for you.’ F—k off! It's about love and money, OK? They go hand in hand for me right now. Because they said you're going against Britt [Nilsson], I was like, ‘I’m not doing it.’ And then I said, ‘I’ll only do it if you paid me as much as you paid Chris Soules.' I said I wanted to make the same as he did.”

While discussing the beloved early aughts MTV series on the podcast "Back to the Beach," Kristin Cavallari revealed how much the cast made for the first season. “I think $2,500," she said during a July 2022 episode of the show. Her cohost Stephen Colletti, however, remembered things differently: “I don’t even think it was that much. I think it was $2,000. Lauren [Conrad] and I renegotiated for season 2. It was going to be our last season! We were like, ‘We’re out of here!'”

According to a lawsuit filed by season 2 contestant Jeremy Hartwell in July 2022, the Netflix show pays $1,000 per week, up to $8,000 for the length of filming the show. One of the allegations in the suit was that the production paid “less than half of the applicable minimum wage rate of $15.00 per hour” in California, claiming the cast worked up to 20 hours a week.
“Resultantly, these workers were effectively [paid] as little $7.14 per hour. … Less than one-third of the minimum overtime rate of $22.50 per hour, and less than one-fourth of the minimum double-time rate of $30.00 per hour pursuant to the applicable Los Angeles City and County minimum wage ordinances,” the docs state.

Carole Radziwill said on a November 2021 episode of the “Behind the Velvet Rope With David Yontef” podcast that the “first year” of RHONY, “everyone gets paid $60,000.” However, hair and makeup costs were then taken out of that.
“I was like, ‘I’m not doing it for [$60,000]. I’ll do it for a hundred.’ They had blown up the show at that point and right. They’d fired like four people … I guess they were desperate,” she said. “I only found out … that Heather Thomson and Aviva Drescher didn’t get $100,000 because then the second season we were negotiating and they gave us $150,000. Heather thought it was great. I’m like, ‘It’s not that great.’ And then I realized they had just paid her the $60,000. Of course, I immediately told her because I wasn’t gonna like pretend or lie to her.”

Rob Dyrdek detailed his massive salary bump during Rob & Big, Fantasy Factory and Ridiculousness.
"I was probably getting $35K an episode of Rob & Big, and they offered me $125K an episode to do a fourth season of Rob & Big or do another show," he explained on the "Trading Secrets" podcast in July 2021.

Davies, who competed on season 19 of Big Brother, revealed in July 2021 that they were paid $1,000 a week. “I was in the jury house, so I technically filmed the entire season. I got paid the entire 13-week stipend," she said on Dear Media’s “Trading Secrets” podcast.

Davies also shared that when she joined Ex on the Beach two years after Big Brother, she had learned to negotiate and ultimately made the same amount of money even though she only filmed for five days.
"I want to say that my stipend was $4,500. I made it out with maybe $17,000 from this show, and that was just me really playing the game,” the reality star shared. "Even when they wanted to fly me back to shoot just my headshot — because why wouldn’t I shoot that while I was there? — I was like, ‘I want my weekly stipend.’ I flew in at 11:00 at night, and I was on the flight the next day at 9:45 in the morning. And I got paid my weekly [stipend] for that."

While the stars of MTV's competition series have kept relatively quiet about their pay, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that rookies make $1,000 stipend a week and returning players who aren’t top vets make between $3,000 and $5,000. “Elite” players — think Cara Maria Sorbello, Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio or CT Tamburello — can make around $80,000 simply for arriving on day 1.

In May 2021, Dean Unglert explained that ABC offered him $400 a day for Bachelor in Paradise. "I was like, ‘Oh yeah, great. $400 bucks a day, 30 days, $12,000. That’s fantastic.’ And then I start talking to some friends and they’re like, well, ‘You should get more money because … you’re going to be, like, the guy they want most from your season [to] go to Paradise minus, like, Peter [Kraus],'" he said on the “Trading Secrets” podcast, noting that he then asked for $800 a day but ultimately countered with $600. He also revealed he made $400 a day for The Bachelor Winter Games.

When searching for the season 23 lead in 2019, Colton Underwood, Tartick and Blake Horstmann were all offered $100,000, Tartick said on his podcast in May 2021. Unglert said he was offered $75,000 the year prior, but Arie Luyendyk Jr. was ultimately named the season 22 lead. For season 23, Underwood led the season.

In 2018, Johnny Fairplay claimed that the first person eliminated from Survivor gets $3,500, and the jury members receive $40,000. He said that the final two receive $100,000 while the winner earns the $1 million prize. For Winners at War, for which the $1 million prize was doubled, each player was reportedly guaranteed $25,000, plus the standard of $10,000 for appearing at the reunion.
In 2021, Corinne Kaplan, who competed on Survivor: Gabon and Survivor: Caramoan, detailed the breakdown even further on Dear Media's "Trading Secrets" podcast.
“We do make money for as far as we make it. They explain it to you in very basic terms — not hard numbers. The same amount of money exists no matter how many players there are,” she said during a September 2021 episode, confirming that each star makes $10,000 to return for the live reunion. 
"Roughly the first person voted out makes $2,500, and it goes up very incrementally until you hit the jury. Then it starts going up with each jury member. So it works backward. $1 million is first place, second place is $100,000. Third place is $75,000, then $65K, $55K, $45K. Once you stop the jury, those people only make a few thousand and there’s, like, $100 difference between them."

For first place, the winners split the $1 million prize. Second place splits $100,000 and third place splits $75,000, according to Kaplan.

In 2019, Variety reported that contestants make $125,000 for the show’s rehearsal period and the first two weeks. Those who make it past week three can earn up to $295,000.
In November 2021, Bachelor alum Courtney Robertson claimed she was offered $150,000 to be part of the competition series. “Each week you last, there’s, like, an incentive,” she said on the “She’s All Bach” podcast, noting she was told she'd get around $30,000 for each additional week she stayed in the competition.
Bristowe, who won season 29 of DWTS, mentioned on the “Trading Secrets" podcast, “You get a bonus every week that you make it. The final four are in the final episode, they all get paid the same. … But your signing bonus, I think you can negotiate a bit, like, to sign to say you're going on the show.”

In 2018, Nikki Cooper, who appeared as a friend of David Toborowsky on season 5 of 90 Day Fiancé, posted on Facebook that cast members get paid $1,000 per episode and $2,500 to film the tell-all special, which equals out to $14,500 for a 12-episode season.

Adam Lind shared via Instagram that his ex Chelsea Houska earned $250,000 for season 6 of Teen Mom, noting in 2016 that he had a similar salary. He added that the pair's daughter, Aubree, made $50,000 for appearing.

The Hollywood Reporter claimed that the main cast members of the Bravo series earned around $25,000 an episode in 2017 and 2018, with Lisa Vanderpump taking home closer to $50,000.
In July 2023, Kristen Doute recalled the small amount of money she brought home after season 1. "We had very little in our bank account," she recalled on her "Sex, Love, and What Else Matters" podcast. "It was $5,000 and if we became a primary, we got an additional $5,000."
Laura-Leigh, meanwhile, hasn't received any additional payment associated with her time on the series,  despite the show's massive success. 
"No residuals. Nothing. And I had to go after them to get that $500," she claimed in January 2025. "The cast all got paid, I think it was $8,000 for the first season. Jax [Taylor] and everyone else got like $8,000. The only reason I know that is because that’s all the money Jax had to his name. And I was like, 'Well, if they’re getting money, why can I get money?' They were like, 'OK, we’ll give you $500.'"
Brittany Cartwright recalled being "broke" when she first appeared on the show. "I didn't get paid my first season of Vanderpump Rules — until the very, very end. I was broke," Brittany, 35, who started appearing as a guest on season 4 when she met Jax, shared on the "When Reality Hits" podcast in August 2023. "It took a lot out of me."
Jax recalled Brittany's excessive spending before she made the move to Los Angeles. 
"It was costing her. This is the beginning of the show and it was costing her $800 to $900," he said, referring toBrittany flying in to see him while filming season 4. "She was in Kentucky [working at a bar and Hooters] and $800 is a lot of money [to spend on airfare]."
While speaking with Kristen about their original paychecks, Jax said he was just grateful to get paid, adding on the July 2023 podcast episode, "I had nothing at that time so whatever we got ... [I felt like] I was rich. $5,000? I was paying $100 a week to live so I [thought] I could retire. When we were filming, I felt like, 'This is awesome.'" 
He continued: "I have been hustling my whole life and living paycheck to paycheck to paycheck. I would do a lot of jobs but by the time I got my paycheck I was so behind on my credit card bills."

In 2015, Abby Lee Miller shared that the young dancers earned $1,000 an episode for season 1 through 4, and $2,000 an episode for season 5. She added that she was earning $1,500 an episode.

While most of the Bravo talent has stayed mum about their salaries, Real Housewives expert Brian Moylan shared some insight in his 2021 book, The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives. According to Moylan, Kandi Burruss is the highest-paid, making nearly $2 million a season. RHOA cast overall make the most because that spinoff has the highest ratings.
Newcomer cast members usually sign on for $60,000 a season — a number Gina Kirschenheiter confirmed in her divorce filings, listing $63,000 paid by the production company and $5,450 paid by NBCUniversal. Meanwhile, Bethenny Frankel said she made just over $7,000 for her first season.
RHOD's Cary Deuber said she made "less than a Birkin" bag when she signed on, and by season 3, was making around $200,000 a season.

Jinger Duggar Redid Relationship Milestone With Jeremy for TLC Cameras

Jinger Duggar Recreated Major Milestone With Jeremy Vuolo for TLC Cameras

Jinger Duggar grew up in front of the camera on 19 Kids and Counting, but the process began to change with her now-husband, Jeremy Vuolo, in the mix.

“Early days, first meals together, making small talk, the process of getting to know someone can feel a little awkward. But I would say that there’s probably not an adequate word for describing the unique kind of awkward it is to go through that whole process with cameras shoved in your faces and someone interrupting you when the conversation is just starting to flow,” Jinger, 31, wrote in her latest book, People Pleaser: Breaking Free From the Burden of Imaginary Expectations, out Tuesday, January 14.

Jinger referred to filming with her husband as “date-night-on-demand,” remembering being “instructed to repeat some of the same conversation and gestures” they’d made in a previous take.

“Fast-forward a few months, and I found myself walking down the staircase in my house toward Jeremy, anticipating that we might be about to make our relationship official. I took each stair carefully, smiling at Jer, butterflies in my stomach, excited to hear what he would say to me when I got to the bottom of the stairs,” she continued. “‘Cut! Jinger, go back up the stairs please! We need to start over to get the shot.’ OK.”

Reflecting on her people-pleasing tendencies, Jinger recalled dutifully walking back up the stairs and meeting Jeremy again. “He asked me to be his girlfriend, the sweetest moment,” she wrote. “And then we got to do it all over again because there was a mic issue. And then we had to do some more takes. And then we had to do cutaways.”

Jinger first appeared on TV with her family in a 2004 documentary about their daily lives. 19 Kids and Counting debuted on TLC in 2008 and aired until its 2015 cancellation. A spinoff titled Counting On, which focused on Jinger and her sisters Jill and Jessa Duggar, premiered later that year and was canceled in 2021.

Jeremy entered the picture in 2015 when he met Jinger during a mission trip. The couple tied the knot one year later and share daughters Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 4. Jinger announced in October 2024 that she and Jeremy are expecting their third baby.

In her book, Jinger confessed that managing the “performance expectations” of producers and the camera crew felt “totally normal” for her. “It was all I had known since the age of 10,” she explained. “For Jeremy, for some of my other brothers-in-law who had joined the family by this point, it was anything but.”

Jinger Duggar Claims Her Family Sometimes 'Didn't Like' Reality Show Edit

Earlier in People Pleaser, Jinger credited her husband for helping change her mindset when it comes to her faith. Jinger’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, raised their children under the conservative beliefs of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, but Jeremy gave his now-wife a new perspective.

According to Jinger, meeting Jeremy was like a breath of fresh air — “but it was also kind of terrifying,” she wrote.

“He was so handsome and so fun and so … alive,” Jinger continued. “Because I was so steeped in the IBLP way of looking at things, I thought it was a potential step into sin to even acknowledge that I was attracted to Jeremy, that I felt my heart tugged in his direction. … And once we fell in love, the vibrancy of Jeremy’s outlook, faith, and devotion began to crack open a wider world of mercy and grace to me.”

Neil Young Once Threw Bob Dylan Off His Tour Bus: 'Didn't Recognize Him'

Neil Young buried a very interesting tidbit about Bob Dylan in his glowing — but concise — review of the biopic A Complete Unknown.

“I love Bob Dylan and his music. Always have,” Young, 79, wrote in a post on his website, Neil Young Archives, on Monday, January 13. “He’s a great artist.”

The next part, however, raised several questions.

“Once he was on my bus and I didn’t recognize him and threw him off but that’s another story,” Young wrote before getting back to the business at hand. “This movie is a great tribute to his life and music. I think if you love Bob’s music you should see this great movie. I loved it.”

Timothee Chalamet 'Floored' by Bob Dylan's Praise of 'A Complete Unknown'

While it’s lovely to know that Young appreciated A Complete Unknown, the streets demand answers about what happened on this tour bus. When was this? What was Dylan wearing that made him so unrecognizable? How did he respond when Young unceremoniously threw him off the bus? Is this why they didn’t sing together for 25 years? Inquiring music fans need to know!

In any case, the tour bus moment was not depicted in A Complete Unknown, which stars Timothée Chalamet as a young Dylan and covers the period in Dylan’s career from his arrival in New York City to his infamous “going electric” performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

While Dylan, 83, was not officially involved in the film, director James Mangold revealed that the iconic musician gave him notes on the script. “I’ve spent several wonderfully charming days in his company, just one-on-one, talking to him,” Mangold, 61, said during a 2023 episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. “I have a script that’s personally annotated by him and treasured by me. He loves movies.”

Chalamet, meanwhile, hasn’t yet met Dylan, but the singer publicly praised his performance via X last month. “There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!),” Dylan wrote. “Timothée Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me.”

In response, Chalamet, 29, reposted Dylan’s message, adding, “Floored. I am so grateful. Thank you Bob.”

The actor has been receiving tons of awards season praise for his role, including nominations from the Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards. This year’s Oscar nominations have been postponed because of the Los Angeles wildfires, but Chalamet is widely expected to land a nod there as well.

Sutton Stracke Awkwardly Brings Up Mauricio Cheating Rumors in 'RHOBH' Clip

Sutton Stracke Awkwardly Brings Up Mauricio Cheating Rumors

Sutton Stracke has taken a page from Bethenny Frankel’s book and wants to mention it all about The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Kyle Richards.

Kyle, 56, sat down with Sutton, 52, and Garcelle Beauvais to discuss her ongoing feud with Dorit Kemsley in a clip from the Tuesday, January 14 episode of RHOBH, shared by E! News.

Kyle started the conversation by telling the women that PK Kemsley was having “a really hard time” amid his separation from Dorit, 48. Kyle explained that she had told Mauricio, 54, that Dorit did not want her to have a friendship with PK — even amid his struggles. (The women fought in last week’s episode after Kyle confirmed that she still texts PK after he and Dorit separated.)

“If it was me, I would be upset,” Garcelle said about the texting. “I wouldn’t like it.”

Kyle noted that Garcelle had a “very different situation” with her ex-husband, Michael Nilon, who cheated on her.

“I feel like in a way it’s similar to Dorit — not infidelity — but being angry at one another,” Garcelle explained.

Kyle's 'RHOBH' Costars Were 'Suspicious' About Her Marriage Before Split

Sutton was quick to chime in, claiming that Kyle “also had infidelity” in her marriage. (Kyle and Mauricio separated in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage and denied any “wrongdoing” in their marriage.)

“Let’s not forget that part,” Sutton continued. Kyle responded, “What part? … Who did?”

Kyle denied any infidelity in her marriage, but Sutton doubled down. (Mauricio has been accused of cheating on Kyle multiple times throughout their RHOBH tenure.)

“With Mau? You’ve talked about him,” Sutton said, referring to Kyle’s breakdown during RHOBH season 13 when she admitted to losing her “trust” in Mauricio.

“With the Instagram?” Kyle questioned, referencing another RHOBH season 13 scene where she admitted to having a fight with Mauricio over him communicating with other women over social media. “That’s different. I think that’s different.”

The conversation was then dropped.

In her confessional, however, Sutton said the Instagram situation was not what she had been referring to. “I always have a problem with things slipping out of my mouth,” she added.

Garcelle also weighed in on the rather awkward encounter during her own confessional.

“This is definitely the unspoken thing. No one brings that up,” she said. “I mean, listen, we’ve been hearing rumors for years that either Mau has stepped out or is doing this or is doing that. Nobody has confirmation but it’s been all over.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.

This Elegant Wrap Dress on Amazon Is the Most Flattering Dress I Own

14 January 2025 at 07:20

The phrase “don’t be picky” applies to certain things in life, like what movie to choose for a casual night in or where to grab a quick bite before work, but it doesn’t apply to fashion. You deserve to be picky when it comes to fit, style, design, price, material and anything else regarding clothes! The pickier you are, the less you spend on low-quality or ill-fitting pieces that live in the back of your closet — indefinitely.

15 Everyday Dresses to Look Rich This New Year — Our Favorites Under $50 on Amazon

That said, it’s difficult to shop when you’re picky; you won’t settle for a semi-flattering outfit or a tolerable shade of brown you’re not crazy about. Nope! You hold out until you find the perfect piece, which is hard to come by (but totally worth it once you find it). The perfect dress is particularly hard to find, but we found one that will check all of your boxes and even a few you didn’t know you had. If flattering, lightweight, stylish, flowy, elegant, affordable and versatile are on your requirements list, grab a pen and get to checking!

This dress is sophisticated and charming, combining an empire waist fit with a wrap v-neck design, a smocked back waistband, billowy lantern sleeves and side slits that show off your legs, but doesn’t go overboard (if you know what we mean). It’s also soft, lightweight and skin-friendly; the polyester material will keep you perfectly temperate at warm-weather gatherings and winter gatherings alike. Just don’t forget a jacket during the cold months!

Style aside, this dress nails it in the flattering department. A high empire waist makes your torso and legs look longer and minimize your waist, an ideal combo if you seek a lean appearance. The puff sleeves flatter your arms while the v-neckline shows off your collarbone. Oh, and did we mention this dress has a loose, flowy fit? It won’t make you feel constrained in any capacity or highlight any trouble areas. If anything, it will hide them!

This dress was practically made for any wedding, birthday party, Valentine’s (or Galentine’s Day) dinner or work event on your agenda. It pairs beautifully with strappy heels and a shoulder bag, but you can make it a cold-weather outfit by wearing it with tall boots, a long fur jacket and an oversized tote. So chic!

And if you love the style but aren’t feeling pink, this dress comes in five other colors. Good luck choosing just one! You’ll catch Us wearing the pink one on Valentine’s Day, the red one for the holidays and the black one to work. So take your pick and get ready for compliment central!

Get the Dokotoo Elegant Wrap Dress for $45 on Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, January 14, 2024, but are subject to change.

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson‘s separation didn’t come as a shock to some fans.

Simpson, 44, confirmed their decision to part ways in a statement on Monday, January 13, which read, “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

A source confirmed to Us Weekly in November 2024 that Simpson and Johnson were “living separately” at the moment.

Meanwhile, a second insider revealed that Simpson and Johnson planned to spend the holidays as a family, adding, “Jessica and Eric plan on being all together for the holidays with the kids. It’s all about the kids and family. They don’t hate each other.”

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s Relationship Timeline

Simpson and Johnson, 45, who share kids Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5, started dating in 2010 following their respective divorces from Nick Lachey and Keri D’Angelo. After six months together, Johnson proposed and they tied the knot in 2014.

Simpson previously opened up about her evolving dynamic with Johnson, exclusively telling Us in April 2022, “I don’t feel like our marriage has been long, but I feel like I’ve loved Eric my whole life. I guess the moment I met him, it felt like a marriage. We rarely fight. If we do, it’s more conversational, and it’s not like, ‘He’s right or she’s right.’ It’s not about winning.”

The singer gushed over her partnership with Johnson. “In terms of my marriage to Eric, I have never felt more myself or more free,” Simpson shared with Us in February 2020. “Eric and I have a true mind, body [and] soul connection. Some of the things he loves most about me are my flaws. I am most certainly in this marriage and this life with Eric by my side with free will!”

Simpson raised eyebrows in late 2023 when she was spotted without her wedding ring in several Instagram photos. The duo briefly quieted split speculation in April 2024 when they went on a family trip but by the end of the year, Simpson and Johnson were once again making public appearances without their respective wedding bands.

In November 2024, a third insider confirmed to Us that Simpson and Johnson were “trying to figure out a separation without disrupting their kids’ lives as much as possible.”

“They are both really committed to the wellbeing of the kids and trying to figure out what’s best for them,” the source added while a four insider said Simpson was “heartbroken” and it wasn’t an “easy decision” to make.

After taking a break from her music career, Simpson teased a “comeback” in November 2024 with photos of her in a recording studio.

“Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,” she captioned an Instagram post at the time. “This comeback is personal. It’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”

As Simpson continued to spend more time in Nashville (while her family is based in California), she teased a candid glimpse into her life, writing via social media, “I can’t wait for y’all to hear the soundtrack of my soul 💿.”

While Johnson isn’t active on social media, Simpson often shares highlights from her life. Her last post that prominently featured Johnson was posted in September 2023. (Simpson and Johnson’s last public outing was in summer 2024.)

“Eric turned 44 on Sept 15 and his family gave him all the love cells we have to celebrate his life. My heart is so taken with this Man, I could hardly call it my own,” she wrote. “We love youuuu. (he ain’t an Instagram guy, but I always think the more good wishes the better 😜).”
