Brooks Nader is recalling an awkward moment with her dad while trying her hand at a viral TikTok trend.
“‘You’re so funny!’ Thanks, when I was 16 my Dad snatched my unlocked phone out [of] my hands while I was sending dirty pics and locked himself in his truck and read with horror while I tried to break his car window with a bat!!!!!” Nader, 28, wrote over a Saturday, January 25, TikTok post.
Nader captioned the upload, “Needless to say I was grounded for approx 2 years!!!!”
In the comments section of Nader’s post, sister Sarah Jane wrote, “Even I have PTSD from this one.” When a user claimed they would “actually pass out” if this happened to them, Nader replied, “Oh I did, after reading the texts aloud.”
Years after the incident with her dad, Nader went on to tie the knot with Billy Haire in 2019. After four years of marriage, Nader confirmed the pair split. In May 2024, a representative for the model said the couple were “divorcing after living apart for months,” and added, “The split is amicable.”
Months later, Nader was announced as a cast member of Dancing With the Stars season 33, where she was partnered with pro Gleb Savchenko.
“We have a good energy. Like, I think we got good vibes. I mean, it’s nice to be in the room for five hours a day with someone that you get along with,” Savchenko exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2024. “And also, you know, looking like that. She’s hot.”
Us broke the news while the show was airing that Savchenko and Nader were “hooking up.” Days later, the twosome made headlines when they revealed they got matching tattoos. After their elimination, Savchenko and Nader split — but went on to rekindle their romance. Before confirming the news, Nader played coy to Us.
“I don’t know what to say about that,” she exclusively told Us in December 2024. “I don’t even know what’s going on. I know I am confusing people, but I am confusing myself. I am loving life.”
Hours later, Savchenko confirmed the news to TMZ and gushed that he and Nader “are together.” When asked whether their romance was a “showmance,” Savchenko denied the idea.
“Of course it’s real. Everything is real,” he said. “We’re not playing. We’re not playing games.”
As the pair have continued to give glimpses of their relationship, Savchenko hinted that he’s ready to take the next step with Nader.
While sharing a video sitting with DWTS pros Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach’s 20-month-old daughter, Nikita, Savchenko said that he’s open to expanding his family. (Savchenko is a dad to daughters Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7, whom he welcomed with ex-wife Elena Samodanova.)
“I think I’m ready for a 3rd one,” Savchenko wrote via his Instagram Story on January 6, tagging Nader.

Bill Gates and Melinda Gates were married for more than two decades until their 2021 separation.
“After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” Melinda wrote in a statement shared that May. “Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives.”
She added, “We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives.”
Bill and Melinda tied the knot in 1994, nearly 10 years after initially meeting when she was hired at his Microsoft company. They started off as friends before entering into a romantic relationship.
“She had other boyfriends, and I had Microsoft,” Bill joked in 2019’s Inside Bill’s Brain. “We were like, ‘Hey we are not really serious about each other, are we? We are not going to demand each other’s time.’”
Bill and Melinda, who left the then-couple’s eponymous nonprofit in 2024, share three children: Jennifer, Rory and Phoebe. Keep scrolling for everything they’ve said about marriage and divorce:
Years of Advice

Bill and Melinda were long seen as a power couple.
“Working together as well as raising a family together, there’s a certain intensity to that,” he said during a 2019 Facebook Live session. “But we’re very lucky because we mostly see things the same way, the goals are very much the same.”
The ‘Lowest’ Moments
Speaking to USA Today in May 2022, Melinda described the moment she decided to end her marriage.
“My lowest moment in life was when I finally reached the decision that I knew I needed to leave my marriage,” she recalled. “That wasn’t something I ever thought would happen to me. It certainly wasn’t what I thought on the day I got married, but I realized for myself, I needed to make a healthier choice, and that was just a very, very sad day.”
Learning to Show Up
After the pair settled their divorce in 2021, Melinda detailed her new normal.
“It’s unbelievably painful, in innumerable ways, but I had the privacy to get through it,” she told Fortune in October 2022. “I also kept working with the person I was moving away from, and I needed to show up and be my best self every single day. So even though I might be crying at 9 a.m. and then have to be on a videoconference at 10 a.m. with the person I’m leaving, I have to show up and be my best. And I learned as a leader that I could do it.”
“The divorce is definitely a sad thing. I have responsibility for causing a lot of pain to my family,” he said on the Today show in May 2022. “It was a tough year. I feel good that all of us are moving forward now. I certainly made mistakes and I take responsibility. I don’t think delving into the particulars at this point is constructive, but yes I caused pain and I feel terrible about that.”
While Bill didn’t concretely reveal whether or not he was unfaithful, the accusations were still hurtful to Melinda.
“It wasn’t one moment or one specific thing that happened,” she said on CBS Morningsabout what led to the breakup. “There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn’t healthy and I couldn’t trust what we had.”
‘Hardest Thing’ She’s Faced

“[The divorce] was the hardest thing I had ever been through in my life,” Melinda said on a May 2024 episode of Jay Shetty’s podcast. “I thought I was going to be married for life. I thought I’d be married 50-plus years, and so all of a sudden, that even despite very very much work and counseling, what you had doesn’t actually exist.”
According to Melinda, she couldn’t move forward without “enough trust.”
“I never cried so much my whole life,” she added. I prayed for a lot of grace for myself, for my children [and] for the whole situation that we would somehow get through this as a family behind the scenes.”
Melinda left her role on the board of the Gates’ eponymous foundation in June 2024.
“After careful thought and reflection, I have decided to resign from my role as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,” she wrote via Instagram one month earlier. “My last day of work at the foundation will be June 7th.”
Melinda further stressed that she was “immensely proud” of the work the organization had accomplished during her tenure.
“The time is right for me to move forward into my next chapter of my philanthropy,” she continued. “This is a critical moment for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world — those fighting to protect and advance equality are in urgent need of support.”
“The divorce thing was miserable for me and Melinda for at least two years,” Bill said, noting that he initially hoped they could have replicated his parents’ lasting marriage. “I encouraged Melinda to be a little calmer than my mother was, but we were both quite driven. I spent more time with the kids than my dad did, but the ratio was still 10:1, with Melinda doing most things for the kids. We had a great time.”
The tech mogul added, “There is a certain wonderfulness to spending your entire adult life with one person because of the memories and depth of things you have done and having kids together. When Melinda and I met, I was fairly successful but not ridiculously successful — that came during the time that we were together. So, she saw me through a lot.”
Amicable for the Kids

“Melinda and I still see each other — we have three kids and two grandchildren so there are family events,” Bill told The Times of London in January 2025. “The kids are doing well. They have good values.”
Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates announced their plans to divorce in May 2021, which came as a shock to many after 27 years of marriage.
“After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” they shared in a statement on May 3, adding that they “no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives.”
The couple met in 1987 when Melinda started working at Microsoft, the company Bill founded. After the romance got serious, Bill made a pro/con list for whether he should propose (really), and they decided to embark on a life together. Bill and Melinda married in 1994, the same year they launched the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The two welcomed daughter Jennifer in 1996, son Rory in 1999 and daughter Phoebe in 2002.
“Working together as well as raising a family together, there’s a certain intensity to that,” Bill said in a 2019 Facebook Live. “But we’re very lucky because we mostly see things the same way, the goals are very much the same.”
Scroll through for a full timeline of Bill and Melinda’s romance:
Bill and Melinda meet for the first time while attending a PC trade show in New York City. Bill asked Melinda out several weeks later, and he had to set the date two weeks in advance due to his busy schedule.
Bill and Melinda’s first child, Jennifer, is born. Melinda decides to step down from her career to focus on raising her daughter and welcomes son Rory in 1999 and daughter Phoebe in 2002.
"Just like in a family with kids, in business, we show up with a united front that this is who we are," Melinda said.
The couples’ past charitable organizations reorganize and become the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and they both serve on the board of trustees. Bill says it’s an equal partnership.
“In the case of Melinda, it is a truly equal partner,” Bill said in the Netflix doc. “She’s a lot like me in that she is optimistic and she is interested in science. She is better with people than I am. She’s a tiny bit less hardcore about knowing, you know, immunology, than I am.”
Their charitable efforts get plenty of public attention, and they’re named Time’s Persons of the Year along with Bono. “We realize that we’ve been extremely fortunate in business, and we want to give back in ways that can do the most good for the most people,” they said in a statement at the time. “But we also believe that everyone has something to offer — time, money, or energy — that can help others.”
When Melissa releases her book, she and Bill do several interviews highlighting the strength of their marriage. “I’m always interested in his point of view and I know he’s always interested in mine, I think sometimes our disagreements sharpen the questions that we ask each other,” Melinda said in a 2019 Facebook Live.
Just three months after announcing their split, the pair finalized their divorce. According to documents obtained by Us Weekly, the court found that the "marriage is irretrievably broken." The judge ordered both parties to comply with the terms of their separation contract but did not award any financial judgment or spousal support. The court also found that the division of property and personal property that the former couple agreed upon is "fair (just and equitable)." No child supported was ordered, either, as the pair's three children are all legal adults.
Nearly one year after news of Bill’s 2000 affair with a Microsoft employee made headlines, Melinda broke her silence on the infidelity. “I certainly believe in forgiveness, so I thought we had worked through some of that,” she said during an interview on CBS Mornings. “It wasn’t one moment or one specific thing that happened. There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn’t healthy and I couldn’t trust what we had.”Melinda also acknowledged how “painful” the pair’s split was, adding that being “angry” was “part of the grieving process.” However, she “started on this journey of healing” and felt like she was finally “turning a page in the chapter.”
During an interview with CBS Mornings, Melinda revealed that her ex-husband's working relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the factors that led to the couple's split. "I did not like that he’d had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein,” she told Gayle King. “I made that clear to him.”
The philanthropist went on to say that she met the late financier "exactly one time" so she could see what kind of person he was. "I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door," she recalled. "He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. I had nightmares about it afterwards. ... It was awful, and he was awful."
When King asked if Bill continued to see Epstein after that meeting, Melinda said that only her ex could answer that. "Any of the questions remaining about what Bill's relationship there, those are for Bill to answer," she explained. "But I made it very clear how I felt about him."
In a statement to CBS, Bill said that he now regrets ever spending time with the disgraced businessman. “Meeting with Epstein was a mistake that I regret deeply,” he told the network. “It was a substantial error in judgement.”
During an appearance on Today, Bill opened up about the "sad and tragic" end to his marriage.
"The divorce is definitely a sad thing. I have responsibility for causing a lot of pain to my family. It was a tough year. I feel good that all of us are moving forward now," the billionaire explained in May 2022.
In response to a question about his rumored infidelity possibly playing a role in his divorce, Bill replied, "I certainly made mistakes and I take responsibility. I don’t think delving into the particulars at this point is constructive, but yes I caused pain and I feel terrible about that."
Melinda told Fortune that her divorce from Bill had been “unbelievably painful in innumerable ways.”
“But I had the privacy to get through it,” Melinda told the outlet. “I also kept working with the person I was moving away from, and I need to show up and be my best self every single day. So even though I might be crying at 9 a.m. and then have to be on a videoconference at 10 a.m. with the person I’m leaving, I have to show up and be my best. And I learned as a leader that I could do it.”
Bill and Melinda continued to work together at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation until she stepped away. Melinda announced her resignation via Instagram.
“After careful thought and reflection, I have decided to resign from my role as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,” she wrote. “My last day of work at the foundation will be June 7th.”
In a subsequent statement, Bill said he was “sorry” to see Melinda go but was “sure she will have a huge impact in her future philanthropic work.” He added, “As a cofounder and cochair Melinda has been instrumental in shaping our strategies and initiatives, significantly impacting global health and gender equality.”
During an episode of Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose Podcast,” Melinda opened up about how she struggled after her and Bill’s split, calling it “the hardest thing [she] had ever been through in [her] entire life.”
“I thought I was going to be married for life,” she said. ”I thought I’d be married 50 plus years. So all of a sudden, despite very much work and counseling, what you had doesn’t actually exist and, for me, I couldn’t go forward. There wasn’t enough trust any longer. It wasn’t something I wished for. I certainly didn’t think I’d be in my late 50s and be divorced.”
She added, “It was incredibly challenging.” She credited her survival to “close friends” and “a good therapist,” noting that divorce is “not something I would wish on any family.” However, she noted that “on the other side there can be a lot of beauty” after getting through “the rough patches.”
Bill was candid about his divorce from Melinda, telling The Times of London, “That was the mistake I most regret.” For Bill, their split is one of his biggest failures.
“You would have to put that at the top of the list,” he told the outlet. “There are others but none that matter. The divorce thing was miserable for me and Melinda for at least two years.” Bill added that he does feel “more cheerful now,” despite his regret.
“When we got divorced it was tough and then she made the decision to leave the foundation — I was disappointed that she took the option to go off,” he continued. “Melinda and I still see each other — we have three kids and two grandchildren so there are family events,” Bill told the U.K. newspaper. “The kids are doing well. They have good values.”
Princess Anne said she had no recollection of the accident that led to her hospitalization last summer.
“I know where I thought I was going and that was to go to the chickens, no, nothing to do with horses,” Anne told the Press Association during a trip to South Africa in an interview published on Friday, January 24.
The Princess Royal, 74, spent five nights at the Southmead Hospital in Bristol, England, after sustaining “minor injuries and concussion following an incident” at her Gatcombe Park estate, Buckingham Palace said in a statement on June 24, 2024.
At the time, Anne’s medical team said her injuries could have been caused by the impact of a horse’s legs or head. But according to the royal, she can’t remember being with her horses prior to her hospitalization.
“[It had been] my regular visit,” she continued. “I don’t have any idea what I was doing in the field, because I never normally went that way.”
“It just reminds you, shows you — you never quite know, something [happens] and you might not recover,” she added.
Anne said the accident and subsequent hospitalization reminded her to “take each day as it comes.”
At the time, the palace said Anne’s hospitalization was a “precautionary measure for observation” and added that she was “expected to make a full and swift recovery.”
The accident came during a difficult year for the royal family, as Anne’s brother, King Charles III, and Princess Kate Middleton were dealing with respective cancer diagnoses.
Middleton announced in January that she is in remission, while Charles is expected to resume a full schedule of engagements this year.
Anne has been consistently named the “hardest working royal” by the British press for several years. In 2024, she completed 217 engagements— the most of any royal — Daily Mail reported. Charles came in second place with 186 engagements, per the outlet.
When asked about the possibility of retirement, Anne told the Press Association that “it isn’t really an option.”
“I don’t think there’s a retirement programme on this particular life,” she said. “It really isn’t written in, no. It isn’t really an option, no, I don’t think so.”
I spend nearly eight hours a day shopping, so I’m well versed in finding the best fashion for the season. And while I have a long list of go-to fashion brands I prefer, I’ve been shocked by Walmart this year.
When I was a child, I used to dread when my grandma would drag me to Walmart. Now as an adult, I live for finding elevated (and super affordable) fashion pieces at the store. I’m always pleasantly surprised by the endless chic looks that rival pricier options.
During a recent online shopping session, I noticed Walmart’s new arrivals section is overflowing with elevated wardrobe staples (spoiler: there’s a rich mom-style lounge set that exudes quiet luxury). Scroll on to find affordable denim, sweaters and two-piece sets starting at $14. There are so many pieces to shop, so get comfy, grab a coffee and let’s get into it!
11 New Arrivals at Walmart We’re Buying ASAP

Amy Schumer just shared a glowing selfie, revealing she used “no filter” and “no filler.”
The actress, 43, posted the fresh-faced photo via her Instagram Stories and page on Saturday, January 25, writing, “What can I say It was a good night.”
When asked by a follower what made it such a good evening, Schumer responded in the comments section, “Good family time then got to perform with people I love and respect.”
Her post comes after Schumer opened up about her Cushing syndrome diagnosis during a “Call Her Daddy” podcast episode on Wednesday, January 22. (Cushing syndrome is a disorder caused by elevated cortisol in the blood, and leads to a swollen, red, round face.)
Schumer said she found out she had the disease after internet trolls pointed out her “puffy” face during a press tour last year. Some medical professionals chimed in, however, and that’s when she realized the puffiness might be a serious side effect.
She told host Alex Cooper, “They were, like, ‘No, no … something’s really up. Your face looks so crazy that we think something’s up.’”

Turns out she had Cushing, which she was diagnosed with in February 2024 — right before she started filming Kinda Pregnant, hitting Netflix on February 5.
“I was getting these steroid injections, and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome; which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard,” she added. “I learned that I had something called ‘moon face,’ and I’m starring in a movie and there’s a camera in my face, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ I was feeling really down on myself before I started filming this movie.”
Schumer said director Lorraine Caffery “amp[ed] me up” and reassured her that she looked “f—ing great.” Turns out, her system “just had to work itself out” and her face is now, as seen in her latest selfie, radiant.
“Happy for you. You also look great,” Cheyenne Jackson commented, with Olivia Munn adding, “Pretttyyyy.”
After social media users insulted her appearance last year, Schumer told journalist Jessica Yellin for Substack’s News Not Noise column that diagnosing Cushing was no easy task and she feared for her future, as well as her son, Gene, 5, whom she shares with husband Chris Fischer.
“The shaming and criticism of our ever-changing bodies is something I have dealt with and witnessed for a long time,” she added. “I want so much for women to love themselves and be relentless when fighting for their own health in a system that usually doesn’t believe them.”
Hugh Jackman is showing off his skipping skills after a performance mishap during his Radio City Music Hall Show From New York, With Love.
In an Instagram video shared on Sunday, January 26, Jackman concentrated on his jump rope ability as he moved from side to side and crossed his arms while skipping. Jackman, who rocked a tank top and shorts in the clip, smiled after he completed the task in the middle of the gym.
“So here’s the thing … my trainer Beth Lewis and I worked for months and months to get me remotely close to being ready to do this jump rope choreo on stage,” Jackman captioned the post. “She has the patience of a saint!!! And while I still messed up, I had a blast. And get to do it again 21 more times! Thank you @bethlewisfit #fromnewyorkwithlove @radiocitymusichall.”
Jackman debuted his moves during night one of his From New York, with Love at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on Friday, January 24. The show was reportedly attended by his girlfriend, Sutton Foster, and Jackman’s pals, Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool & Wolverine directorShawn Levy.
Reynolds, who made a surprise appearance in the crowd for a “Hugh & A” session, gushed over his pal.
“Just like here, he knew every single person’s name, even though he was making them up half the time,” Reynolds, 48, told the crowd. “He showed a kind of courtesy and gentleness and curiosity, and he put value into every single crew member that we were working with.”
Reynolds called Jackman his “gotcha for life,” even though, he said, “I’m his second-best friend.”
Reynolds joked that “we were supposed to finish this bit where these two security gentlemen come and they try to take the mic [from] me — it’s like a struggle, and then they tase me and I go down, and then they hog-tie me and then they put me in the Radio City music garbage dump, and then they just light it on fire.”
He continued, “I wanted to actually just say, I love this man, I care about this man. He is, he is genuinely the best human being I know. And I have 4 children!” (Reynolds shares four kids with his wife, Blake Lively.)
Jackman appreciated the gesture. “I love you, Ryan Reynolds, I love you, man,” Jackman replied, joking that Reynolds was his fifth best friend. “Thanks for coming. And thanks for asking for a free ticket, too.”
After the show, Jackman took to Instagram to reflect on the milestone moment. “What an incredible night it was. We opened our show at the @radiocitymusichall. It had all the feels. The love, the glitches, the sweat, the tears, the laughter and, and, and,” Jackman wrote. “The love emanating from the audience was enormous. We all felt it. And the icing is we get to keep the party going 23 more times. Thank you to the cast and crew for your tireless efforts and talent. Both photos, please credit: @kevinmazur #fromnewyorkwithlove.”
“Over the past few years, Kat [Temkin] has photographed almost every big life moment: birthdays, work trips from London to Hong Kong, red carpets, and our ‘Beau Society’ launch party,” Steinfeld, 28, wrote in the Friday, January 24, edition of her newsletter. “Thank God (and Josh), that Kat was there on the day I got engaged.”
She added, “No one could have captured that moment like she did and I’ll cherish her photos forever.”
Allen, 28, proposed to Steinfeld in November 2024, popping the questions at a waterfront destination underneath a rose-covered archway. The Buffalo Bills quarterback also set up a slew of candles on the grounds.
In her latest “Beau Society” letter, Steinfeld interviewed Temkin about their work partnership.
“Capturing a person at a point in their life is inspiring,” Temkin gushed. “Like when you and I started, that was so long ago, and now getting to capture you in a new light and this era of your life, that’s so inspiring.”
Steinfeld and Allen have been together since Spring 2023 and the actress has often been seen supporting her soon-to-be husband at Bills games throughout the 2024-2025 season. After one year of dating, Allen proposed during his NFL bye week.

“I was very nervous. I think I was most nervous about you finding out about the proposal,” he recalled in a previous edition of “Beau Society” published in December 2024. “It was hard to keep secrets from you and have other people in your life keep secrets from you. Then, multiple times throughout the day a song would come on and I would tear up thinking about how special our day was going to be.”
At the time, Allen also revealed exactly how he popped the question.
“I said, ‘I couldn’t wait any longer.’ I said, ‘I can’t wait to start a family with you,’” Allen recalled. “I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said please.”
He added, “You were extremely surprised, you said yes, and that was all that mattered to me. And the sun was out. It feels unbelievable to be engaged to someone who is so special and loving and caring and gorgeous and fun and happy.”
In the issue, Steinfeld and Allen also both admitted that they couldn’t stop crying during the magical proposal.
“All the happy tears have just barely dried,” the Hawkeye alum wrote last month. “Whenever we tell the story, look back at photos, or even say, ‘We’re engaged’ or ‘We’re getting married,’ I start crying.”
If you’re anything like Us, you couldn’t get enough of the “Scamanda” podcast that dropped in May 2023. Luckily, there’s now an ABC docuseries of the same name that digs even deeper into the bizarre case.
Like the podcast, the Scamanda series will document the story of Amanda Riley, whose blog recounting her struggles with stage 3 blood cancer reached thousands of people. On the surface, Riley was an ordinary wife and mother devoted to her Christian faith. But when investigative producer Nancy Moscatiello received an anonymous tip about Riley, the facade began to crack.
“Soon, Amanda’s own words may prove to be her downfall,” the official synopsis for Scamanda teases.
Keep scrolling for everything you need to know about Scamanda:
Is There a Trailer for ‘Scamanda?’
Yes. The official teaser for the series features snippets of interviews from various people who believed Riley when she told them she had cancer. One participant calls her “a beloved young Christian woman fighting a battle undeserved.”
The trailer then documents the same community who rallied around Riley realizing that she wasn’t sick at all, and that their kindness had been taken advantage of.
“Thousands of people threw money at her,” one person recalls, while another notes that Riley’s loved ones “raised $100,000” to help pay for her treatments.
“What surprised me is the lengths that she went to to fake cancer,” another person says.
Did Amanda Riley Commit a Crime?
In Riley’s case, lying about having cancer was not just shocking, it was criminal. After asking for donations to cover medical expenses that did not exist, Riley pleaded guilty to wire fraud in 2021. She is currently serving a five year prison sentence.
Is Nancy Moscatiello Involved With the ‘Scamanda’ Series?
Yes. Moscatiello, who turned an anonymous tip into a five-year investigation of Riley and served as an executive producer for the “Scamanda” podcast, can be seen in a trailer for the series and has posted about it via social media.
How Will the ‘Scamanda’ Series Be Different From the Podcast?
If you listened to the “Scamanda” podcast, you know it painted a detailed picture of Riley’s lies and how she maintained them: shaving her head to make it look like she was undergoing chemotherapy, staging convincing photos of herself in the hospital and even suing Moscatiello for defamation after learning about her investigation. The series will provide further information via new interviews from former friends of Riley, a neuropsychologist who sheds light on why certain people commit scams, and law enforcement officials and an IRS investigator who covered the case.
Scamanda also features communications between Riley and “Scamanda” podcast host Charlie Webster as well as materials that Moscatiello gathered during her investigation of Riley.
Amanda Riley/BlogSpot
Does Amanda Riley Have Kids?
Riley shares two sons, Carter and Connor, with her husband, Cory Riley. Amanda dubbed her two children “miracles,” claiming that she shouldn’t have been able to deliver healthy babies while undergoing cancer treatment. Amanda and Cory are still married, and Cory has not been charged in connection with Amanda’s crimes.
Is Amanda Riley’s Blog Still Active?
The blog where Amanda fraudulently documented her cancer journey, titled “Lymphoma Can Suck It,” is no longer active and has been deleted from the internet. She wrote about her cancer experience online from 2012 to 2019 before being charged with wire fraud in 2020.
When Does ‘Scamanda’ Premiere?
After an initial October 2024 premiere date was shelved due to scheduling conflicts related to Monday Night Football, the docuseries will now premiere on Thursday, January 30 at 9 p.m. ET 2025, with three additional episodes airing Thursdays. Episodes will be available to stream on Hulu.
After ABC added six Monday Night Football simulcasts to its previously announced lineup, the hidden camera series What Would You Do? was moved from Mondays to Wednesdays, taking Scamanda’s spot. Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and Press Your Luck were also pushed to 2025 due to the schedule change.

Jason Kelce is stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to deciding which NFL conference championship to attend.
“This is something that I’m still trying to figure out,” Kelce, 37, said on the Saturday, January 26, episode of ESPN’s They Call It Late Night. “I’m working [for ESPN] at the tailgate for the Birds game, which I’m excited about. Initially, they were gonna make me go up to Bristol, but then they were like, ‘Do you just want to stay down there and be a reporter on the scene?’ I’m really fired up to be there.”
The Philadelphia Eagles, the team Jason previously played for until his 2024 retirement, will face the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship on Sunday, January 26. Several hours later, the AFC title game will take place between Jason’s brother Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills.
“I want to be there for [the Eagles game], but also I’m kind of torn,” Jason explained. “I want to be there for the Eagles, but I also want to be there for my brother. I don’t know how many more he has. We’re flying by the seat of our pants!”
According to Jason, he might “be able to see both” depending on potential travel plans.
Travis, 35, has faced retirement speculation throughout the 2024-2025 season — but frequently shuts it down. In multiple press conferences, Travis has made it clear that he still enjoys getting out on the football field each week and stressed that he is focused on sharing the latest title game milestones with his teammates.
“Don’t let the lights blind you,” the tight end said in a Friday, January 24, press conference of his advice for Chiefs rookies. “It’s a big moment you’re going into. Hype it up yourself because you’ve been dreaming about moments like these. The biggest thing is that you’re good enough [and] you don’t got to be anybody that you’re not. You don’t got to force yourself to be greater than who you are.”
Travis added, “We work our tails off to be exactly who we are and it’s now time to go out there, have fun and just cut it loose. Don’t let the lights shorten your steps or stutter your feet.”
The winners of the respective title games will face off in the 2025 Super Bowl next month. If the Chiefs beat the Bills on Sunday, they will have the opportunity to become the first NFL team in history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. The No. 1-seeded football team won back-to-back Super Bowl championships in 2023 and 2024.
Travis, who won his first NFL championship in 2020, isn’t focused on potentially shattering records just yet.
“I haven’t heard anybody talk about anything ‘three-peat’ [or] anything like that,” he said in an ESPN interview earlier this month. “Anybody can get beat in the playoffs if you don’t come in with the right mentality and the right mindset dating back to training camp and throughout the season.”
When I imagine Beyoncé’s signature perfume, I know she must wear something completely captivating. I mean, Beyoncé is downright iconic, and her scent has to match her energy! I picture her spritzing something that’s rich, unique and maybe a little spicy. Turns out, I’m not too far off!
While Beyoncé was in London for her Renaissance tour, WhoWhatWearreported she stopped by Harrod’s and stocked up on Kilian Paris Angels’ Share Eau de Parfum. When I learned this, I admittedly geeked out a little. Angels’ Share has been my signature for years, and I can confirm that anytime I wear it, I’m definitely feelin’ myself just like Queen Bey.
This seductive potion melds sweet gourmand notes with woody and spicy facets for a delicately layered scent that garners endless compliments. Seriously, every time I wear it numerous people stop to tell me how incredible I smell.
Inspired by a luxuriously rich, French brandy, Angels’ Share opens with an addictive blend of cognac oil, deep oak and a touch of cinnamon to grab your attention. It softens as it wears with notes of tonka bean, smooth praline, soft sandalwood and vanilla. A single whiff can feel intoxicating, and wearing it will make you feel like the most powerful person in the room. Yep, it definitely tracks that this is Beyoncé’s favorite.
Needless to say, Angels’ Share is an attention grabber — and not just the scent. The bottle, which is designed to look like an on the rocks glass is strikingly beautiful.
According to shoppers, this Beyoncé makes you fall in love at first spritz. “This perfume is in its own lane — and when I say that, I mean it doesn’t smell like anything else but IT,” one Nordstrom shopper writes. “So very seductive. So sexy! So rich! So classy! So bougie! I’m in love!”
“Kilian Paris is the greatest fragrance house, and they have so many amazing, beautiful scents,” another Nordstrom reviewer says. “Angels’ Share is sweet, boozy and addictive — so worth the expensive price tag. Highly recommend.”
I fully understand what Beyonce means when she sings, “Comfortable in my skin, cozy with who I am.” That’s exactly how I feel when I wear Kilian Paris Angels’ Share Eau de Parfum. Unleash your inner Beyoncé with the singer’s favorite fragrance!
Rapper ASAP Rocky’s shooting trial just started, and lawyers are already weighing the potential influence his longtime partner Rihanna could have over the proceedings.
On Thursday, January 23, during jury selection and one day before lawyers delivered their opening statements, Deputy District Attorney John Lewin asked one prospective juror — a woman – if she would be able to deliver a guilty verdict to the defendant if Rihanna, 36, was present in court.
“What if Rihanna comes here to court, is it going to be hard for you to look over there and see the defendant’s family and deliver a guilty verdict?” Lewin asked the woman, as reported by the Associated Press.
According to the news outlet, the woman took a long pause before answering “yes.”
Rihanna was not in court on Thursday or Friday, January 24, when Rocky’s trial officially started. The 36-year-old rapper is charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm related to a 2021 shooting incident in Hollywood. Rocky is accused of firing four or five shots at Terell Ephron, a childhood friend, who claims the shots “grazed his knuckles,” per the Associated Press.

Rocky has pleaded not guilty and his lawyers say he committed no crime. If convicted, he faces up to 24 years in prison.
According to the Associated Press, it took both the prosecution and the defense two and a half days to select a set of jurors from a “pool of more than a hundred candidates.” Per the outlet, a podcast editor and actor, as well as a man who has worked at Trader Joe’s for more than 20 years, made the final cut.
While Rihanna — who shares two kids, RZA and Riot Rose, with Rocky — has yet to make an appearance in court in support of her partner, Thomas Zizzo Jr., son of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne, was present on Friday.
The Los Angeles police officer took the stand on day one of the Grammy award-winning rapper’s trial, testifying as one of the first law enforcement officers to arrive on the scene of the alleged 2021 shooting incident. According to TMZ, the officer reportedly “testified about what he saw at the scene when he arrived.”
Rihanna, who started dating Rocky in late 2019, has been relatively silent about her partner’s legal troubles. Still, she has remained by his side. In an April 2024 interview with Interview, she spoke candidly about their relationship.
“We’ve known each other for a long time. I’ve seen him in relationships. He’s seen me in relationships. We’ve seen each other outside of relationships,” she said at the time. “We knew what we’re capable of, and the trouble that we could bring to each other’s lives. We can make or break each other’s hearts. And so, we started dating with a lot of caution.”
While there was never a conversation about Jonathon Johnson potentially becoming the next Bachelor, he is happy for his good pal Grant Ellis.
“No, not a mention, not an ask, not a, ‘Hey, we’d love to sit you down for a conversation?’” Jonathon, 28, claimed on the Saturday, January 25, episode of the “Lightweights” podcast, referring to a perspective offer to lead the franchise. “Not once.”
Instead of Jonathon, the next Bachelor is Grant, whom Jonathon met on Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette last year. Grant’s journey to finding “The One” kicks off on Monday, January 28.
“I have no idea [why he was chosen] but I always make the joke it’s ‘cause he’s over 6 foot and I’m 5’11,” Jonathon teased.
Jonathon has also been in touch with Grant, 31, since filming wrapped.
“I’ve talked to him, but not about the season,” Jonathon revealed on the podcast. “I mean, we all keep that under wraps the best that we can. So, out of respect for him, I just don’t ask when I see him.”
He continued, “I know that he’s doing well. I don’t know how it played out [and] I don’t know if he’s with somebody. I don’t know where they went, like, all I know is that he seems good. He seems happy.”
Both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette frequently culminate in an engagement after the lead narrows the contestants down to one. The task was apparently difficult for Grant, according to show host Jesse Palmer.

Jonathon has also been in touch with Grant, 31, since filming wrapped.
“I’ve talked to him, but not about the season,” Jonathon revealed on the podcast. “I mean, we all keep that under wraps the best that we can. So, out of respect for him, I just don’t ask when I see him.”
He continued, “I know that he’s doing well. I don’t know how it played out [and] I don’t know if he’s with somebody. I don’t know where they went, like, all I know is that he seems good. He seems happy.”
Both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette frequently culminate in an engagement after the lead narrows the contestants down to one. The task was apparently difficult for Grant, according to show host Jesse Palmer.
“I was surprised. That was something that I haven’t encountered yet as the host in the last four years on any of the franchises,” Jesse, 46, exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “Normally, I think, our leads have a little bit more clarity — a lot more clarity — heading into the final day. And I really think that’s how conflicted Grant really was.”
According to Jesse, Grant was so conflicted based on the caliber of his “incredible” group of women.
“They’re phenomenal every year for whoever our lead is [and] making that decision on the final day is always a very, very difficult decision, but I can appreciate some of why Grant was so conflicted. I’ll just say that,” Jesse explained. “But absolutely without giving away too much, that was authentic and it’s real and it’s not an edit.”
Jesse further hinted that Grant seemed “very, very happy with how things ended” on his season.
“I know he’s really excited for everybody to watch this whole thing unfold. Grant’s a very easy guy to root for,” Jesse told Us. “I’m a fan of his and I know he’s a guy that’s been so successful in everything he’s done in his life outside of love [so far]. With Zach [Shallcross] and Joey [Graziadei], we’re kind of running this streak a little bit and I think we have a chance to keep this thing going, fingers crossed.”
Zach, 28, and Joey, 29, were the most recent Bachelors and are still engaged to their respective final rose picks: Kaity Biggar and Kelsey Anderson.
The Bachelor season 29 premieres on ABC Monday, January 27 at 8 p.m. ET.
Liam Hemsworth enjoyed a rare public outing with his longtime girlfriend Gabriella Brooks at the Australian Open.
The actor, 35, and model, 28, were all smiles as they posed together in matching beige ensembles at the Ralph Lauren Marquee in Melbourne on Sunday, January 26.
Hemsworth looked put together in a caramel-colored ensemble while Brooks rocked a tan jacket over a white blouse and cream shorts, which she paired with a brown belt and heels.
The couple was later spotted in the stands alongside Jackie Chan, looking very invested in the men’s final match between winner Jannick Sinner and opponent Alexander Zverev.
Their outing comes after Brooks celebrated her partner of five years via Instagram on January 13. “Happy Birthday to my sunshine ,” she wrote alongside a carousel of photos of the couple over the years.
Brooks also recently shared pictures from the duo’s date night at the Australian ballet in December, writing, “A magical night at the ballet with @chanelofficial @ausballet .”
Liam and Brooks first fueled romance rumors in December 2019 when they were spotted at lunch with his parents, Craig and Leonie Hemsworth. They confirmed their relationship the following year when Brooks attended various events with her man, including his brother Luke Hemsworth’s 40th birthday party.
Liam and Brooks made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Sydney premiere of his film Poker Face in 2022. They also attended the U.K. premiere of brother Chris Hemsworth’s film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga together in 2024.
Liam, who finalized his divorce from longtime partner Miley Cyrus in 2020 after a tumultuous on-off relationship, has kept his relationship with Brooks private aside from their rare appearances together.

In a December 2021 interview with Stellar magazine, Brooks reiterated their decision to maintain their privacy. “My personal relationship is very, very important and very sacred to me,” she said. “And I feel like in an industry where so much is put out on show, there are some things you just want to keep to yourself. I completely understand [the interest in our relationship]. But at the end of the day, I guess I just like having that for me.”
Cyrus, 32, for her part, recently shared her heartbreak over the Pacific Palisades and Altadena fires after losing her and Liam’s Malibu home in a wildfire in 2018.
“This image hits me hard in the heart today,” she wrote alongside a black and white photo of rubble via Instagram Stories on January 11. “This is a photo taken of my front porch in 2018 after losing our house in the Woolsey fires. It’s a feeling you don’t ever forget.”
“Walking up to the door you would pass through daily, looking forward to being greeted by the ones you love like you always do but instead being met by a pile of ash and rubble. My soul aches for those experiencing this devastation firsthand and I cry for my city.”
In an interview with Howard Stern in 2020, Cyrus said of her and Liam’s marriage, “I just clung to what I had left of that house, which was me and him. And I really do and did love him very, very, very much and still do, always will.”
As for the reason for their separation, Cyrus said that the two had a lot of issues behind closed doors. “There was too much conflict,” she said, adding, “When I come home, I want to be anchored by someone. I don’t get off on drama or fighting.”
Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky revealed that her husband, Kevin Manno, is battling papillary thyroid cancer.
“We found out recently that @kevinmanno has Papillary Thyroid Cancer. Thankfully it’s a very treatable cancer,” Fedotowsky, 40, and Manno, 41, wrote in a joint Instagram post on Sunday, January 26. “He has 2 malignant spots on his right side and it appears it is also in one lymph node, but we won’t know for sure until his surgery.”
Fedotowsky also asked her followers to “share any experiences” that they had with thyroid cancer diagnoses.
“We are specifically curious about stories related to whether or not you or someone you know had their full thyroid or half of it removed with the cancer only on one side,” the caption continued. “If the surgeon gets in there and determines the whole thing has to be removed regardless, we will of course move forward with that. But going into the surgery, he has a choice to be aggressive or leave half if possible.”
They concluded, “Thank you all for the love and support you’ve always shown us. We are grateful .”
Fedotowsky and Manno also uploaded a video further discussing his health scare.
“We always try to be very open and honest,” Manno said in the footage. “We’re open books with our lives. We want to give you guys a quick update with something that’s happening over here in the Manno family, but I’m not stressing about it.”
Manno, a radio DJ, had recently undergone both a biopsy and CT scan, which led to the diagnosis.
“The prognosis is very good,” he added. “It looks good. It’s going to be something I can go in [on] February 10th [and have a] surgery. We’re going to knock it out and it’ll be behind us.”
Fedotowsky, for her part, chimed in to note that Manno is “sometimes too positive” about the procedure.
“That’s where I need my mind,” he quipped in response. “I’m not supposed to be stressed, so I need to be positive.”
Fedotowsky and Manno have been married since 2017 and share two children: Molly, 8, and Riley, 6. While they didn’t share the kids’ reactions to the diagnosis, Fedotowsky revealed that the pair already had appointments with a surgeon about removing Manno’s thyroid.
“We also met with another oncologist to get a second opinion and learn,” Fedotowsky added. “The first thing he said to us was, ‘If you have to get cancer, this is the cancer you want to get.’ Because it’s so treatable. He called it a ‘boring cancer.’ That’s good [and] what you want to hear.”
The Challenge alums Kaycee Clark and Nany González have called it quits more than a year after announcing their engagement.
“After a lot of reflection, Kaycee and I have decided to go our separate ways,” the couple wrote in a joint statement shared to Instagram Stories on Wednesday, January 25.
“This definitely wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s what’s best for the both of us,” they wrote.
It continued: “Thank you to everyone who supported us along the way — we’re both moving forward with love and kindness in our hearts & we ask that you respect our need for privacy at this time.”
Clark, 37, and González, 36, met while filming season 35 of The Challenge: Total Madness in 2019. The pair weren’t linked romantically until two years later, when they started posting photos with one another on Instagram.
During an interview with Us Weekly in August 2022, Clark and González revealed they were “super excited” about their future and said they had discussed the possibility of marriage and kids.
“We have talked about it a lot. The next step, obviously, would be marriage,” González told Us at the time.
“And then, of course, after that would be children and that, obviously, would, you know, come with IVF and all of that. So that’s definitely something that we’re going to look into eventually and we’re super excited about just our future together,” she added.
In the clip, which appears to have since been deleted, the pair could be seen walking, dancing, and embracing on a beach on Thailand’s Phi Phi Islands. The video ended with González getting down on one knee next to a sign lit up in a fire that read, “Will U Marry Me.”
“From the moment I met this woman, I knew that she was someone special,” the caption read.
“Our paths crossed in the most unexpected way, and I am forever grateful for that chance encounter. My heart is full of love and gratitude for the joy you have brought into my life, Kaycee Noelle.”
“Because 3 kids wasn’t chaotic enough ,” Compono, 32, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, January 25. “Baby #4 coming August 2025 .”
Compono uploaded a portrait of kids Anthony, 3, Liliana, 2, and Carmella, 11 months, sitting in order of their ages below balloons that read “1,” “2” or “3.” Below a “4” balloon was a framed sonogram photo with the words “Coming Soon.”
Nichols, 37, reshared the announcement via his own Instagram Story later that day.
Several of the couple’s Challenge costars shared their excitement in the Instagram comments.
“Congrats ,” Tori Deal replied, while Kailah Casillas asked, “When ya buying the school bus? so happy for you .”
Compono and Nichols met while filming The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 in 2015, going on to date on and off. Nichols ultimately proposed in December 2019 before they said “I do” two years later in March 2021. Compono found out she was pregnant with son Anthony one month before their nuptials. He was born in September 2021.
“Zach got to see him before me while he held my leg and watched him come out,” she exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “But when he was put on my chest and we both got to see him, it was amazing. We made this adorable little life. It’s truly the best feeling ever. We haven’t put him down once yet; we are completely obsessed.”

Compono added, “We are looking forward to bringing Anthony home and just having fun being parents. Zach is super hands-on and I can honestly say I haven’t changed one diaper yet. He continues to impress me every day, and you can easily see that being a dad came so naturally for him.”
While the reality TV alums have their hands full with almost four kids, they might not be done expanding their brood. In 2020, Compono ruled out another Challenge stint because of their family plans.
“We want six kids,” she said in an Instagram Story Q&A at the time.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fans have watched the cast change on and off screen before the series even debuted.
Season 1 of hit reality series, which follows a group of Mormon mom influencers, debuted on Hulu in September 2024 following star Taylor Frankie Paul‘s “soft swinging” sex scandal.
“We’re not all swingers,” Whitney Leavitt exclusively told Us Weekly at the time despite the scandal not affecting her “all all” in the months after the drama. “I think it’d be different if I was actually involved in it, but I wasn’t, so I just took the clout from it.”
Mayci Neely had the same takeaway, sharing with Us, “We’re not all swingers. You can be Mormon and wear a crop top and leggings as well. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be the stereotypical Mormon that people think we’re all supposed to be.”
“I guess I’m pretty much known from my headlines of Swinger Mom,” Taylor exclusively told Us. “For the show, I really wanted them to see me and more of me and my personality and a deeper level. I feel like I come off so different online than I actually am in a conversation. So I felt like this was my chance to tell my story and get a deeper look into who I am.”
Layla Taylor, meanwhile, showed sympathy for Taylor’s situation.
“It was just having to remember that we’re all human and that we make mistakes,”she shared with Us. “It was a very difficult situation and it’s so public what she had to go through, and I think she handled it the best way that she could. I just forgive her because she handled it the way that she could at that moment.”
“We’re not all just this perfect united front,” she told Us. “I feel like on social media, everyone’s like, ‘Oh, there’s these eight faces on the screen and they’re all dressed in the same outfit. They look unified, they look put together,’ and our show really kind of cuts back on all of that, all the perception. We’re normal, I guess.”

In addition to questioning whether Jen's husband, Zac Affleck, has any connection to actor Ben Affleck, the reality star also sparked split rumors since production wrapped on season 1. The couple — and their two kids — moved to New York after Jen left MomTok.
Season 1 thrust Demi into the spotlight after her costars discussed her sex life with husband Bret Engemann. The pair, who have a 16-year age gap, have been married since April 2021 and each share children with past partners.
Before being seen by some fans as a villain on the show, Whitney welcomed daughter Sedona in November 2019 and son Liam in December 2021 with husband Connor Leavitt. The couple weathered infidelity claims but remained a united front and their third child — son Billy — was born in October 2024.
The TV personality, who shares three kids with husband Jace Terry, opened up on screen about having a chronic illness that caused red splotches on her skin. Mikayla didn't have any answers about her health struggles before starting to film season 2.
The first season ended on a cliffhanger after Mayci called a woman who claimed she hooked up with Taylor's then-boyfriend Dakota. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has yet to explore Mayci's home life with husband Jacob Neeley. She shares daughter Harlow with Jacob and has her son, Hudson, from her previous relationship with Arik Mack.
After welcoming two kids in her 20s, Layla candidly discussed her attempts to get back into dating. Season 2 is expected to continue to document Layla's personal life following her split from ex-husband Clayton Wessel.
Sutton Foster was all smiles as she supported boyfriend Hugh Jackman at opening night of his Radio City Music Hall Show From New York, With Love.
Foster, 49, attended the first night of Jackman’s concert on Friday, January 24, in a black sequined dress and matching coat — as seen in photos obtained by People. The Broadway icon was joined at the show by Jackman’s pals: Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds, who also made a surprise appearance in the crowd for an impromptu “Hugh & A” session.
Reynolds, 48, raved about Jackman, 56, telling the crowd, “I wanted to actually just say, I love this man, I care about this man. He is genuinely the best human being I know. And I have 4 children!”
He added that Jackman was “my gotcha for life,” even though, Reynolds claimed, “I’m his second-best friend.”
Perhaps his first best friend is Foster, who has also praised Jackman in the past after the duo starred together in Broadway’s revival of The Music Man in 2022, portraying Professor Harold Hill and Marian Paroo, respectively.
“He’s one of the greatest guys ever, an incredible costar,” she told People last year. “And yeah, I think everyone already knows that, though.”
Sources previously told Us Weekly that Foster and Jackman’s friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship during their The Music Man run — and while they were still married to other people. Jackman and his wife of 27 years, Deborra-lee Furness, announced their split in September 2023, while; Foster filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin in October 2024 after 10 years of marriage.
“Sutton and Hugh’s relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced,” a source close to Foster told Us in November 2024. “A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”
According to the source, Jackman and Foster “are really happy now.”

The pair were spotted kissing inside a car at an In-N-Out restaurant in the San Fernando Valley earlier this month, and were also photographed out on a date night in Santa Monica. Now, the duo is seemingly back at their home base on the East Coast as Jackman is set to perform seven more weekends at Radio City in 2025 and Foster will appear in Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream one-night-only show at the St. James Theatre on Monday, February 3, alongside the likes of Ben Platt and Rachel Zegler.
No word yet on if Jackman will support his latest love at the event, but he did cheer Foster on during a performance of Once Upon a Mattress in Los Angeles on January 4.
In 2022, Foster told Vogue that Jackman had become one of her closest friends thanks to The Music Man — and noted that they even had family get-togethers. (Jackman and Furness, 69, adopted son Oscar, 24, in 2000 and daughter Ava, 19, in 2005; Foster and Griffin are parents to Emily, 7, who they adopted in 2017.)
“You usually go into these things thinking, ‘Well, I hope we get along,’ ” she explained, “but we just spent Memorial Day with our families.”
Foster also revealed that she and Jackman used to sit on the floor of her dressing room and chat before each show. “It’s such a wonderful thing,” Foster said during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan. “We just talk and catch up on our day. That’s been one of the best parts of the whole thing,” she added, “that I’ve made this wonderful new friend.”
Jackman raved about their friendship in a December 2021 Instagram post, writing of Foster, “You’re an exceptional talent and friend. Your joy brings the entire company of @musicmanbway to life. I can’t wait for the world to see you as Marian. They are in for an explosion of awesome.”
“It is so great to be here hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time. I’mso excited to be here as more than just a musical guest, [it] feels amazing,” Styles — who previously performed on the NBC show four times — gushed in his monologue. “It feels like when you find out someone likes you as more than just a friend. Saturday Night Live and I have taken things to the next level and just like all my serious relationships, we’re all gonna spend one incredible night together, and then we’ll never see each other again.”
While Styles insisted that music was his No. 1 priority,he still had room for busting out his comedy chops, spending time with loved ones and having great hair. “I love being here at SNL. It has so much history,” Styles gushed.
Scroll below for a look back at which stars have been both the SNL host and musical guest during the same episode:
“Oh, it really is great to be here in New York. I always have a good time here," the “9 to 5” songstress said in her April 1989 monologue. "But I have to be honest with you, though, I was a little nervous and a little worried about coming here. You know, it's Saturday Night Live and all, and you hear all kinds of things, but ... don't you folks believe that for a minute! These folks have gone out of their way to make me feel like one of the family.”
“I like glitter and sparkly dresses, but I'm not gonna talk about that in my monologue,” the “All Too Well” songstress sang in her November 2009 musical monologue. “I like writing songs about douchebags who cheat on me, but I'm not gonna say that in my monologue. I like writing their names into songs so that they're ashamed to go in public, but I'm not gonna say that in my monologue. … This is my musical monologue!”
“I love hosting this show because it’s live, so my parents know where I’m at for at least 90 minutes,” the Hannah Montana alum joked in her October 2015 monologue. “Tonight I am on a seven-second delay — not a television delay, it’s just when you smoke as much as I do you’re always on a seven-second delay. And while I’m excited to be here, I’m also kind of sad because it feels like the summer of 2015 has officially come to an end.”
The Community alum starred in a variety of sketches during his May 2018 debut before crooning “Saturday” and “This Is America” under his Childish Gambino moniker.
“It’s so special to be hosting in December, not only do I love Christmas — and oh, my God, it’s so beautiful here at Christmas — but my birthday is one week from today,” the “Bad Guy” musician gushed in her December 2021 monologue during the annual holiday episode. “I am turning 20, or as the internet likes to call that: middle-aged. I’m actually really excited to get older because I’m, just now, starting to understand who I actually am as a person.”
While hosting in April 2022, the “Juice” singer introduced her own musical performance.
“I know it’s shocking that I’m nervous because I’m the one who said, ‘I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100 percent that bitch,’” Lizzo said in her monologue. “Well, to be completely honest, I’m really like 50 percent ‘that bitch,’ 10 percent ‘boss bitch’ and 40 percent ‘flute playing, band nerd bitch.’ But I’m thrilled to be hosting this particular episode, especially because I do love tonight’s musical guest: Me!”
“I can’t tell you all how excited I am to be here,” the rapper gushed during her October 2022 monologue. “Most of you know me as Megan Thee Stallion, but if you know me then you know I go by many names. Let’s see, we got Tina Snow, the Hot Girl Coach, the H-Town Hottie and if you are one of my many, many haters: I’m probably, ‘Ugh, that bitch.’”
The rapper made his SNL hosting debut during season 49 in October 2023, where he used his opening monologue to discuss his excitement.
“My name is Benito and I’m so excited to be here on sábado, sorry SNL,” Bad Bunny quipped. “People [are] wondering if I can host this show because English is not my first language. I don’t know if they know, [but] I do whatever I want. So, I can host this show in English, I can order McDonald’s in English [and] I can have sex in English, but I prefer sex in Spanish because it’s better. I just prefer Spanish.”
Bad Bunny then enlisted surprise guest Pedro Pascal to help him “translate” the remainder of his opening remarks.
Bad Bunny later performed as the episode’s musical guest, and Lady Gaga even provided the introduction.
The pop star made her SNL hosting debut in May 2024.
“I’m here, I’m hosting [and] I’m performing,” she concluded her monologue, referring to the viral meme of herself with a seemingly open schedule. “I’m making the wigs, I’m dealing Adderall to the writers. I’m doing it all. So tonight, I promise you I’m going to give you everything.”
As the musical guest, Lipa performed “Illusion” and “Happy for You.”
The British singer hosted and sang during the November 16, 2024, episode of SNL.
“My name is Charli XCX. For those of you who may recognize me, you might know me from my album Brat, but don’t worry if you don’t,” she quipped in her monologue. “There is nothing wrong with being straight.”
Charli added, “I’ve come a long way, and today I consider myself to be a triple threat, which in England means I sing, I drink and I smoke.”
Chalamet hosted the January 25, 2025, episode of SNL, where he also performed a selection of his “personal favorite” Bob Dylan songs as musical guest. (He was promoting his role in the Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, for which he earned both a Golden Globe and Oscar nomination.)
