Jessica Alba has shared a rare glimpse into her family life to celebrate the holidays.

The actress, 43, took to social media on Thursday, December 26 to share a series of photos via Instagram of her husband, Cash Warren, 45, and their three kids, daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, and son Hayes, 6.

“Happy Holidays from our familia to yours ”  Alba captioned the post.

The photos and videos provided an insight into how the family spent their holiday as they posed in front of a Christmas tree together. Another image showed what appeared to be caviar and pancakes, another showed an aesthetically pleasing festive table setting while more footage showed Alba getting involved in preparing a delicious Christmas feast.

At the end of the post, Alba shared an inspiration quote that was dated December 26, 2024.

“The Universe is saying to you today: ‘Now is a powerful time. Allow yourself to be open to every possibility and opportunity that presents for you,” it reads. “Your life changes as you change your inner beliefs. Everything in your life is a clear reflection of what you believe. Trust yourself more.”

Alba and Warren fell in love while working on superhero film Fantastic Four together in 2004. Alba starred as Susan Storm in the movie, and Warren was working as a production assistant.

The couple tied the knot in Beverly Hills in May 2008. Just one month later, their first child, daughter Honor was born.

Alba reflected on becoming a mother via an Instagram post dedicated to Honor for her 15th birthday in June 2023.

“15 years ago, baby girl Honor Marie Warren made me a mama,” Alba gushed. “I had absolutely no idea how much my world was going to change… to say my heart burst open the moment I saw you, doesn’t even cover it . My entire world was flipped right side up and I felt the deepest, most profound love.”

Alba and Warren went on to welcome daughter Haven in June 2011 as well as son Hayes on New Year’s Eve in 2017.

The Trigger Warning actress opened up about the difficulties of juggling a demanding career with raising a family when speaking to Us Weekly in November 2018.

“You’re going to make mistakes,” she admitted. “Try to learn from them. At the end of the day, if you’re doing your best, that’s all you can really do.”

Alba also emphasized the importance of making the most of moments she shared with her children.

“I try to be completely present with them,” she told Us at the time. “I want to make the time I spend with them quality.”

OnlyFans model Scarlet Vas and her stepbrother — and husband — Tayo Ricci have welcomed their first child together.

Vas, 29, and Ricci, 27, announced their baby’s arrival via Instagram in a series of photos posted on Thursday, December 26.

The first photo in the post showed the proud parents cradling their newborn daughter, who was born on Christmas Day. Another image featured a closeup of the baby’s hand being held by mom and dad.

The infant’s face was obscured by an emoji and Vas and Ricci did not reveal their daughter’s name.

OnlyFans Model Scarlet Vas Reveals She Is Pregnant With Stepbrother's Baby

“Our Christmas miracle has finally arrived,” they captioned the joint Instagram post. “Merry Christmas from our family to yours.”

Vas, who played Mishti Sharma on Australian soap Neighbours from 2017 to 2018, announced her pregnancy in September. She had been documenting her journey toward motherhood via social media in the months since.

The couple originally met through mutual friends as teenagers in Australia before tying the knot in Mykonos, Greece in September 2023. Two of their parents later married themselves, making Vas and Ricci stepsiblings. It is unclear which of the pair’s parents tied the knot but Vas has said in past TikTok videos that she and Ricci share a mother.

Despite facing some backlash for their relationship, Vas told news.com.au in a September interview that they were not taking the criticism to heart.

“Honestly, it doesn’t affect us because we have each other,” she told the outlet. “I don’t really read our comments section, but if I do, I actually laugh. We find trolls very entertaining.”

Vas added, “If something’s really negative, we might comment back, we find it is quite a good disarming tactic.”

The social media star emphasized that she and Ricci are not “blood related”.

“We were about 13 years old when we first met through mutual friends, our families knew each other and they introduced us I guess you could say,” she explained. “So we’ve known each other for a very long time.”

Celebrities Who Secretly Welcomed Children

Vas has also been outspoken about leaving behind her acting pursuits for a lucrative career on the adult subscription service OnlyFans.

She opened up to the “Uncensored Podcast” in May 2023 about how much money she’s making posting content by herself as well as alongside Ricci.

“I’m in the 0.01%, like the lowest you can go on OF. But every month’s been getting better. ‘Like last month was my best month. I hit almost $200k and then this month I’m going to do well over $200k,” she said. “I mean the fans love us as, like, a thing or not a thing. He’s my stepbrother and Australian and we’ve known each other for a very long time.”

The woman who has accused Jay-Z of rape can remain anonymous in court for now.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ on Thursday, December 26, judge Analisa Torres ruled the accuser, who has gone by the moniker Jane Doe in the lawsuit, can continue to be unnamed in the case. However, the judge noted the circumstances could change as the case moves forward. Torres stated she intends to revisit the issue if and when the case progresses.

Torres also accused Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, of being combative and trying to “fast-track” the case, per the outlet.

Attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing Doe, said in a statement to Us Weekly saying, “I don’t typically comment on court rulings. I will say that the coordinated and desperate efforts to attack me as counsel for alleged victims are falling flat.”

Jay-Z's Lawyer Presents Slideshow Refuting Rape Allegation

Earlier this month, news broke that Jay-Z, 55, was named in a civil lawsuit alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs. In the paperwork, Doe accused the two rappers of raping her when she was 13 at an MTV Video Music Awards after party in 2000. The lawsuit was initially filed in October where Diddy, 55, was the only one named in the docs. However, Buzbee — who is also representing numerous people claiming to be victims of Diddy — refiled the paperwork on December 8 to include Jay-Z in the suit.

Both Jay-Z and Diddy have denied the allegations. In a statement to Us Weekly, Jay-Z referenced his wife, Beyoncé, whom he has been married to since 2008, and their three children: Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, both 8.

“My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people,” his message read. “I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.”

Jay-Z Rape Accuser ‘Never Demanded a Penny’ From Rapper, Says Attorney

Jay-Z filed a motion to dismiss the civil lawsuit “for lack of subject matter jurisdiction due to the plaintiff’s lack of standing.”

“Plaintiff has provided no evidence — no affidavit, declaration, or specific factual support — to establish the kind of severe harm necessary to justify pseudonymity,” the document states.

In that same paperwork, the Roc Nation founder also requested the court for Doe’s identity to be “disclosed immediately” to the public.

After filing the motion, Spiro held a press roundtable on December 16, at Roc Nation’s New York City offices where Us and other reporters were present. Spiro began the meeting by stating that Jay-Z “did not rape a child” and gave a presentation that detailed alleged holes in the accuser’s story. Spiro also claimed that multiple people are willing to come forward to address the inconsistencies in the rape allegation made against Jay-Z.

Jay-Z's Lawyer Outlines Why Case Filed by Tony Buzbee Should Be Dismissed

The woman previously came forward to address the discrepancies in her account.

“You should always fight for what happened to you,” the unidentified woman, who has gone by Jane Doe in legal documents, said in a December 13 interview with NBC News. “You should always advocate for yourself and be a voice for yourself. You should never let what somebody else did ruin or run your life. I just hope I can give others the strength to come forward like I came forward.”

Khloé Kardashian extended her holiday celebrations for one more day after daughter True was sick on Christmas.

Kardashian, 40, revealed via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, December 26, that her holiday plans were “different” this year for a few reasons.

She explained she “didn’t get to make it to the Christmas Eve party, which was a bummer” after attending her family’s annual event for decades. While Kardashian said this year’s bash was just “hanging out” at sister Kendall Jenner’s house, she was still sad to miss it.

Christmas Eve, however, wasn’t the biggest hiccup for Kardashian and her two children, True, 6, and Tatum, 2.

“Tatum was super sick the weekend before. Now he’s perfect and great. He was great for Christmas Eve,” the Good American founder shared.

She noted that after Tatum was feeling better, his big sister came down with something. “True has had a 105 fever,” Kardashian revealed. “It was really scary. It was horrible.”

The reality star, who shares both children with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson, said that luckily True is on the mend. (Kardashian gave birth to True in April 2018. She and Thompson welcomed Tatum in July 2022 via surrogate.)

“Now she’s just starting to feel better,” Kardashian said, noting that even with True under the weather they “hung out” at her mom Kris Jenner’s home on Christmas.

Kardashian recalled her daughter “sleeping in another room while I was cooking breakfast” so her little ones could still “be around the Christmas spirit.”

Now that True isn’t feeling as bad, Kardashian said they are “doing Santa toys today because she wasn’t in the mood” before.

“That’s when you know your kid is sick,” she continued. “I’m so happy she’s feeling better.”

Despite a few setbacks, Kardashian said she had a “great” Christmas. “I just love holidays,” she added.

While Khloé had a more laid-back few days, she didn’t miss a chance to give her older sister Kim Kardashian the ultimate Christmas gift.

“Merry Christmas Keeks! Love, Khloé, True and Tatum,” the tag read on Khloé’s present to Kim, 44, which was a bedazzled scooter.

Kim, who recently injured her foot, was over the moon about the gift. “I’ve literally never been more excited for something. This is so cute,” she gushed via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, December 25.

“It was a hit!!! She said she’s gonna keep it forever ,” Khloé captioned her own Instagram Story of her sister’s new ride.

The gift exchange didn’t stop there. Khloé revealed via social media on Thursday that Kylie Jenner gave their mom a custom travel bag with all her kids’ faces from when they were kids on it.

“OMG @kyliejenner this is incredible,” Khloé wrote alongside the photo. “Mom is lucky.”

Get ready to jump back in time when season 3 of The Way Home premieres on Hallmark Channel in the new year.

The network announced in March 2024 that the magical and mystical series would be returning for a third season — and this time around another decade will be explored. During season 1, fans met Kat (Chyler Leigh) and her daughter, Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow), when they moved in with Kat’s mom, Del Landry (Andie MacDowell), following Kat’s divorce.

Viewers quickly learned that the Landry women had a sorted history with the town after Kat’s little brother, Jacob, went missing when he was just a child. While diving deeper into their family past, Alice accidentally started time traveling — using a magical pond on their property — and found herself becoming friends with the younger version of Kat from 1999.

Season 2 added another time period when Kat traveled back to 1814. While there she discovered that her brother (adult version of Jacob portrayed by Spencer Macpherson) was alive and living in that era.

The Way Home's Chyler Leigh, Sadie Laflamme-Snow Talk Pond Frogs, Set Secrets

When it comes to season 3, Hallmark teased that the Landry women would be thrown into the world of 1974, which is when Del met her now-late husband, Colton (Jefferson Brown).

Scroll down for everything to know about The Way Home season 3:

Who Is Returning for Season 3?

MacDowell, Leigh and Laflamme-Snow are all returning as the Landry ladies. Macpherson will also be back as Kat’s long-lost brother, Jacob, and Brown will continue to make flashback cameos as the late Colton Landry. Evan Williams is reprising his role as Kat’s love interest, Elliot Augustine.

How Did Season 2 End?

After a complicated relationship with the year 1814 in which Kat met her brother as an adult and helped save him from the Red Coats, she tried to convince him to jump into the pond and return to modern day. During the season 2 finale, which aired in March 2024, Kat cut ties with her revolutionary war love interest Thomas Coyle (Kris Holden-Reid) and gave her romance with childhood best friend Elliot a second chance.

If that wasn’t enough drama, Jacob did follow Kat back to present day, which came as a surprise to his sister. When the episode concluded, the siblings prepared to see their mother and explain that they had been time traveling with the help of their family pond.

Another cliffhanger revealed that Colton was watching the Landry house in present day. That means that he too has been time traveling since he is dead.

What Can Fans Expect From the Season 3 Premiere?

Hallmark announced in November that season 3 will pick up with Kat and Jacob “poised to walk into the Landry home to an unsuspecting Del.”

According to the press release, “Viewers will be introduced to a new era where Alice will visit.  During her time there, she meets compelling characters whose stories add context to the history of the Landrys and provide answers to some questions … but open up new ones.”

Kat, meanwhile, “Attempts to close the door on the 1800s after making startling discoveries.” In the present day, she and Elliot “navigate a new chapter in their relationship, while he finds himself faced with his own complicated past,” per the synopsis.

Will Elliot and Kat Stay Together in Season 3?

“Season 3 shows that there’s some growing that needs to happen for both Kat and Elliot,” Williams told TVLine in December 2024. “And I’m glad that the writers are also not making it simple. Like, it’s not a binary thing, and because of that, if they can manage to find their way together, it will be that much more rewarding.”

What Happens in ‘The Way Home’ Season 3 Trailer?

Hallmark released its first trailer in November 2024, revealing that both Alice and Kat will travel back to 1974. According to the teaser, “the mystery deepens” as the women watch Del and Colton’s love story unfold the summer they met.

In the second trailer, released in December, Alice learns “someone other than us is time traveling,” but she doesn’t reveal their identity. At one point, Kat realizes that Alice “got sucked somewhere in time” before she pops up at a summer event where her grandmother and grandfather are hanging out.

While Alice learns more about her grandparents, Del asks in present day that Kat “please stop running off and choose us.”

Kat, meanwhile, appears to be fully dating Elliot, according to the second trailer. “Speaking of endings and new beginnings …” Elliot says while dancing with Kat.

Lastly, the video shows confirmation that Jacob returns home to the present day, but doesn’t show if he sees his mom or if he stays for long.

When Does ‘The Way Home’ Premiere?

Season 3 of The Way Home premieres on Friday, January 3.

Where Can You Watch ‘The Way Home’ Season 3?

The new season was initially slated to air exclusively on Hallmark’s streaming service, Hallmark+, but has since changed.

In December, the network announced that “due to overwhelming demand,” The Way Home will air on Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel. New episodes will be available on Hallmark+ the next day.

While Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s whirlwind romance was always something special, their relationship continued to bloom after they welcomed their three children.

The Marvel star and the model tied the knot in 2010 after less than a year of dating. Two years later, they became a family of three with the birth of their daughter, India, in May 2012. Less than two years later, the family grew even more when they welcomed twin boys, Tristan and Sasha, in March 2014.

The following year, Hemsworth said that seeing the Spain native tackle motherhood made him fall even more in love with her.

“Once we had kids we were like, ‘We’re in it, this is it.’ All of a sudden I had a greater appreciation for my wife, she kind of came into her own when we had kids,” he told WHO magazine. “She certainly keeps me sane. I complain about things, she gets on with it.”

Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson spent their first holiday together amid their whirlwind romance.

Anderson, 37, joined Trump, 46, for his family’s Christmas dinner on Wednesday, December 25, at Mar-A-Lago in Florida, according to a social media photo. They sat at a table with his father, president-elect Donald Sr., stepmother Melania and brother Barron.

Anderson shared a close-up glimpse at her festive frock via Instagram Stories the next day. In a Thursday, December 26, mirror selfie, the influencer popped in a red midi-length Damaris Bailey dress with black heels and a coordinating clutch.

Anderson accessorized her look with a golden cross necklace, a watch and an armful of bangles. For glam, she wore her hair in loose waves that cascaded over one shoulder.

How Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle Have Both Moved On After Split

Anderson also added a red heart emoji to her upload, which she set to Vladimir Takinov’s “The Christmas Spirit.”

Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that Trump started dating Anderson after calling off his engagement from ex-fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle.

“It’s a new relationship. He likes her a lot and has a lot of respect for her,” the source exclusively told Us, noting that Trump is “smitten.”

A second insider further told Us in December that their romance is “different” than Trump’s relationship with Guilfoyle, 55.

“When it comes to his relationship with Bettina it’s just about them,” the second source said. “He wants a partner. She doesn’t need anything from him and just wants to be with him.”

Trump was married to ex-wife Vanessa, with whom he shares five children, between 2008 and 2018. Later that year, Trump moved on with Guilfoyle. While Trump proposed to the TV broadcaster in 2020, they only publicized news of their engagement in 2022 during his sister Tiffany’s wedding to Michael Boulos.

Trump and Guilfoyle split ahead of the November presidential election, ultimately ending on amicable terms.

Bettina Anderson, Donald Trump Jr. Take Italian Getaway: Report

“Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other and will always keep a special bond,” Trump said in a December 13 statement. “I could not be more proud of her and the important role she’ll continue to play [as U.S. ambassador to Greece].”

He added, “She’s been an undefeated prosecutor, national TV news star, a leader of the MAGA movement and close advisor to the president. The people of Greece are getting an absolute star and now the whole world will see it more than ever.”

Donald Sr., 78, recently named Guilfoyle as his pick for the Grecian ambassadorship when his second presidential term begins in January 2025.

Princess Kate Middleton shared a rare comment on her cancer journey while speaking to fans after the royal family’s Christmas Day service.

“The amount of people who have written this year is extraordinary and I think cancer just really does resonate with so many families,” Kate, 42, said on Wednesday, December 25, per footage obtained by the Daily Mail.

While addressing a fan who worked in a cancer unit, Kate continued, “People like you are doing all the hard work out there. I’m hugely grateful.”

After one woman told Kate, “We’re all behind you, never forget that,” the Princess of Wales replied with a smile, “Thank you very much, [that’s] so kind.”

Kate Middleton Reflects on ‘Difficult Times’ in Heartfelt Christmas Letter

Kate also spoke with Karen Maclean, a 73-year-old who said she had “20 years of cancer.” Maclean told the outlet, “We just had a little talk about cancer, really. I’ve met [King Charles III] before. He said to me, ‘I can remember you,’ I’m thinking, ‘What!’ like, many years ago?”

Maclean noted that Charles, 76, and Kate seemed “very well actually, considering what they’re going through.” (Charles announced his cancer diagnosis in February after undergoing a routine prostate procedure.)

In March, Kate revealed her diagnosis with an undisclosed form of cancer. “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she said at the time. “The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment.”

Kate completed her chemotherapy treatment in September and has since begun returning to work. Her husband, Prince William, confirmed in November that Kate would “be doing a bit more” in 2025.

King Charles References Health Struggles in Christmas Day Speech

William, 42, referred to 2024 as the most “dreadful” year of his life following two of his loved ones’ cancer diagnoses. “It’s probably been the hardest year in my life,” William said at an Earthshot Prize event. “So, trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult.”

The following month, Kate hosted her annual “Together at Christmas” carol concert and addressed her health battle. William as well as the couple’s kids Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, attended the service.

“I didn’t know this year was going to be the year that I’ve just had,” she told singer Paloma Faith. “The unplanned. But, I think lots of people this year have had such challenging times.”

Simone Biles learned the hard way that WAG life isn’t always glamorous — even during the holiday season. 

Biles, 27, and her husband, Jonathan Owens, were forced to spend Christmas evening in a hotel ahead of Owens and the Chicago Bears facing off against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, December 26. 

“Christmas looks a lil different when ya man gotta report to the hotel,” Biles posted via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, December 25.

Despite the Bears playing at Chicago’s Soldier Field on Thursday evening, many NFL teams will stay in hotels — with curfews — the night before home games.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens Share Sweet Cheek Kiss Before Bears Game

Despite Owens’ strict schedule, Biles did manage to make it out for a little festive fun with Torrie Brown, the partner of Bears tight end Marcedes Lewis. 

“Merry christmas @torriesbrown,” Biles posted via her Instagram Story with the pair holding up a couple of orange cocktails. 

Brown reposted the image to her own Instagram Story, calling Biles her “Christmas boo.”

Biles has been a regular fixture at Owens’ games, both home and away, since wrapping the Gold Across America tour in early November. 

The celebrated gymnast has been forced to adapt to a new kind of normal when it comes to the holidays, as she exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the Bears game in Detroit against the Lions on Thanksgiving last month. 

“I’ll fly up in the morning and fly right back, just so we can still spend Thanksgiving together,” Biles told Us. “Holidays are revolving around sports right now, especially in the football world with them sometimes playing.”

While she was at the game cheering on her husband, Biles employed a crew back at the house to make sure everything ran smoothly. 

“We’ll just have a chef come and cook,” Biles explained. “I think some of his teammates will come through and grab a plate, especially if they don’t have family in the area. It is a little bit more difficult, but it is kind of nice that we can just relax.”

After the Bears Thursday Night Football game against the Seahawks, Chicago will conclude its season on Sunday, January 5 in Green Bay against the Packers. 

With no playoff bid in sight for the Bears, Biles and Owens will finally have time to enjoy the dream home the couple — who got married in April 2023 — have been building together. 

“At this point, we’ve waited so long for it to be built, we’ll just wait until after the [NFL] season to move in,” Biles told Us in November. “Right now, they’re doing all of the backyard stuff. Jonathan wanted a half-basketball court, a barbeque pit, all of the good stuff. We did put an in-ground trampoline and a pool.”

Biles continued, “We’re literally almost there.”

If you’re anything like Us, chances are you’re obsessed with athleisure. It’s hard not to be — life is too short to be wearing stiff jeans every. single. day. The one downside, however, is activewear can be expensive. If you need to add some new active sweatshirts to your wardrobe rotation, you don’t have to pay over $100 for those popular options you see on social media. In fact, you can get a coveted scuba sweatshirt for only $19 at Walmart!

Here’s what Walmart shoppers are saying about the affordable sweatshirt.

“I love this clothing line. It’s buttery soft,” one five-star reviewer writes. “So comfortable. I love the length of the sleeves. The only problem with this top is it’s a little short. It does not cover the hips. It comes a little over the waist. But still love the room in the arms.”

“Absolutely love the scuba fabric,” another shopper writes. “So smooth and soft. I usually wear a large, but because other reviews said they sized down, I bought a medium. I have small shoulders, a 38D chest, and a 33-inch waist, and I have plenty of room at the waist and high hips.”

“This scuba knit is super soft and comfortable,” another reviewer says. “The 2X cream color ran a bit large, and I’m usually a size 22.”

Colors and sizes are selling fast, so hurry and grab one for yourself!

Deadpool was a box office smash, but director Tim Miller didn’t personally reap the benefits of its success.

Miller, 60, who made his directorial debut with the 2016 superhero film, revealed his surprising salary during an interview with Collider published on Tuesday, December 24.

“You guys might not know, but it’s not really a profitable thing to be a first-time director in Hollywood, and I’ll tell you exactly,” the filmmaker shared. “I got $225,000 to direct Deadpool. I know it sounds like a lot of money, but for two years of work, that’s not a ton of money.”

Ryan Reynolds Shares How Parenthood Could Affect a Potential 'Deadpool 4'

Miller continued, “Not that I’m not grateful, I’m f—ing grateful, that’s the way it is because you’re supposed to when you’re a first-time director. My agent said, ‘Dude, you make more on an episode of The Walking Dead!’”

Miller’s payment paled in comparison to the more than $782 million the film made at the box office. However, he feels “uniquely fortunate” to be part of the Deadpool franchise, which went on to include 2018’s Deadpool 2 and 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine, directed by David Leitch and Shawn Levy, respectively.

“Then my second thought is, I wish my director deals had a piece of the merchandising so that I could get some money from all of that,” Miller said.

Deadpool star and coproducer Ryan Reynolds didn’t get rich off the 2016 film either.

Ryan Reynolds Jokes He ‘Can’t Afford’ to Work With Wife Blake Lively

“No part of me was thinking when Deadpool was finally greenlit that this would be a success,” Reynolds, 48, told The New York Times in July. “I even let go of getting paid to do the movie just to put it back on the screen. They wouldn’t allow my cowriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick on set, so I took the little salary I had left and paid them to be on set with me so we could form a de facto writers room.”

Reynolds stands by his decision not to get paid, and he thinks Deadpool turned out better for it.

“I think one of the great enemies of creativity is too much time and money, and that movie had neither time nor money,” he said of the film, which had a $58 million budget compared to the $200 million budget of Deadpool & Wolverine. “It really fostered focusing on character over spectacle, which is a little harder to execute in a comic-book movie. I was just so invested in every micro-detail of it and I hadn’t felt like that in a long, long time. I remembered wanting to feel that more — not just on Deadpool, but on anything.”

After directing Deadpool, Miller went on to create the animated anthology series Love, Death & Robots. He also directed 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate.

Mark Anderson and Barbara Alyn Woods rang in the holidays with their blended family.

In a sweet snap uploaded via Instagram on Thursday, December 26, Anderson, 57, and Woods, 62, stood on a stairwell with their children surrounding them. The men rocked matching monochromatic navy blue loungewear while the women in the family wore long-sleeve striped pajamas.

Mark’s daughter Kelsey Anderson and her fiancé, former Bachelor Joey Graziadei, posed underneath the Golden Bachelorette alum and Woods. His other children, Matthew, Taylor, Pascal and Jordan, and her kids, Natalie, Emily and Alyvia, were also photographed. (Mark shared his kids with late wife Denise, while Woods coparents with estranged husband John Lind. The exes filed for divorce in May.)

“It’s giving hallmark Christmas movie,” Natalie captioned her Instagram Story pic, which Kelsey reposted.

Joey and Kelsey to Spend Christmas With Her Dad and GF Barbara Alyn Woods

While Mark and Woods have been tight-lipped about the status of their relationship, Graziadei confirmed their romance during the Friday, December 20, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast.

“We are going to actually spend it with Kelsey’s family and Mark’s new girlfriend as well … which is gonna be great,” Graziadei said. “Barbara’s awesome.”

The former Bachelor noted that it would not be the first time he and Kelsey met the One Tree Hill alum.

“We’ve gotten a chance to go out to dinner with her and her family, when Mark came to L.A.,” he said. “We spent Thanksgiving with my family. We’re spending Christmas with hers, and we’re excited for it.”

After Mark was sent home by Joan Vassos on The Golden Bachelorette season 1 earlier this year, Kelsey commended her dad for trying to find love on the reality TV series. (Kelsey’s mom, Denise, died in 2018 following a battle with breast cancer.)

“I think that he grew a lot from it and I’m just really proud of him,” Kelsey told Us in October. “I’m also really thankful for Joan in helping my dad through all of this.”

Days later, Mark sparked romance rumors with Woods in October when they were photographed in matching Halloween costumes.

“When Cinderella and Prince Charming have a baby,” Woods captioned her Instagram post of the twosome as the Disney characters, referring to daughter Natalie, who was dressed as Grogu from The Mandalorian.

The pair has since offered glimpses of their time together and shown subtle support for one another. After Graziadei won season 33 of Dancing With the Stars in November, Woods took to her Instagram Story to celebrate him.

In her post, shrieks could be heard in the background after Graziadei and his partner, Jenna Johnson, were crowned the newest champions.

“CONGRATS @joeygraziadei,” Woods wrote via her Instagram Story at the time, alongside a clip of Graziadei and Johnson. In the video, Woods tagged her three children, who were seen watching with their jaws open.

It wouldn’t be a Hallmark Channel movie without chemistry between the two leads … and sometimes the love isn’t just onscreen!

Three years after Carlos and Alexa PenaVega wed in 2014, they starred in the made-for-TV film Enchanted Christmas. The pair have gone on to costar in their own Hallmark Movies & Mysteries franchise, Picture Perfect Mysteries.

Eric Winter and Roselyn Sanchez, who tied the knot in 2008, collaborated on Hallmark’s A Taste of Summer in 2019.

“We had a blast but our process is very different. This was a lighthearted romantic comedy, so there was no point in us being all crazy serious. I goof around on set and have fun with everybody,” Winter exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “Roselyn was so serious. I was looking at her like, ‘Why do you look like you want to kill me? We’re working together, we’re supposed to be falling in love!’”

Colin O’Donnell revealed via Instagram in December 2019 that he felt “pretty darn lucky” to work with his wife, Patti Murin, in Love on Iceland.

Former Central Michigan University quarterback Tommy Lazzaro died on Sunday, December 22, after an apparent hunting accident in Florida. He was 27 years old. 

Lazzaro’s death was confirmed by the school on Thursday, December 26. 

“Several reports indicated that he passed away from a hunting accident,” the university said, indicating the incident happened in Destin, Florida. 

According to WILX-10, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission confirmed the accident happened at the Eglin Air Force Base in Walton County, Florida. The Walton County Sheriff’s Office said all involved parties remained on the scene and were cooperating with the investigation. 

Celebrity Deaths of 2024: Stars We Lost This Year

The former athlete was serving as a member of the United States Army at the time of his death, a career path he chose after playing football at Central Michigan from 2016 to 2019. 

“When we took over the program, Tommy was truly our leader in so many ways,” former Central Michigan head coach Jim McElwain said in a statement. “CMU Football was blessed to have him and will always remember him for all he did for many of us. He will be missed by all of the Chippewas.”

Lazzaro played in 20 games during his career at Central Michigan, flourishing in the second half of the 2019 season when he earned the nickname “Touchdown Tommy.”

In the last 5 games of his senior season, Lazzaro scored seven rushing touchdowns, including two in the 2019 MAC Championship Game. 

He finished his career at Central Michigan with 16 touchdowns — 11 rushing and 5 passing. 

“He was a great soul,” former CMU athletic director Michael Alford told The Detroit News. “Couldn’t have met a better person who cared about others.”

In 2019, Lazzaro gushed about his experience at the university, both on and off the field. 

“This place has given me a home, an education, a place to meet some of my best friends ― guys I’ll know for the rest of my life,” he told student newspaper CM Life. 

After graduating with a degree in Entrepreneurship, Lazzaro followed the lead of his father and grandfather and enlisted in the United States Army, ultimately rising to the rank of sergeant.

A celebration of life for Lazzaro will be held on Saturday, December 28, at Emerald Coast Funeral Home in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Lazzaro will then be buried with full military honors. 

According to his obituary, Lazzaro’s “dedication to his military career was evident in the professionalism and pride he brought to his role.”

“His service was marked by bravery and a commitment to protecting others, earning him the respect and admiration of his peers,” the obituary continued. “Beyond his military accomplishments, Thomas was known for his compassionate and jovial spirit, a personality that brought light and joy to everyone around him.”

Lazzaro is survived by his parents, Tom and Lisa, and sister, Lexie.

Several stars are soaking up the sun rays while celebrating the holidays in style.

Eva Longoria showed off her figure in a Melissa Odabash navy bikini with a drink in hand and sunglasses sitting atop her head. In another image, Longoria sat on a chair in the same beach outfit and laughed while looking off in the distance.

“Out of office ,” she captioned the Thursday, December 26, Instagram snaps, which included pics of her and husband José Bastón and son Santiago, 6. (Longoria is also a stepmom to Bastón’s three kids from his first marriage, Natalia and twins Mariana and Jose Antonio.)

Natalie Portman, meanwhile, was all smiles as she frolicked in the ocean in St. Barts on Wednesday, December 25. Portman was spotted wearing a black bikini and goggles as she stepped into the water on her vacation.

John Reardon and Meghan Ory didn’t meet on a Hallmark Channel movie — but their love story plays out like one.

The twosome were introduced while filming their short-lived series Merlin’s Apprentice in 2006. After tying the knot in 2008, they began popping up in Hallmark rom-coms, becoming staples on the network for their respective projects.

Reardon made his debut on Hallmark with two episodes of When Calls the Heart in 2014. That same year, he appeared in his first movie for the network with The Christmas Secret.

One year later, Ory starred in her first feature for Hallmark with 2015’s Debbie Macomber’s Dashing Through the Snow. She went on to be a lead character on Chesapeake Shores.

Not only did Mila Kunis find love through her marriage with Ashton Kutcher, but she also found a new perspective on her Jewish identity.

While chatting with activist Noa Tishby about Hanukkah in a Thursday, December 26, YouTube video, the actress, 41, revealed that she credits Kutcher, 46, with making her feel “Jewish and proud.”

“[He’s Jewish] by choice. By choice? I was like, ‘Why would you choose this?’” she quipped before adding: “I fell in love with my religion because he explained it to me. The thing about being Jewish is it’s like a choose your adventure, where you can pick and choose things about it that resonate with you. And there’s no right or wrong way to be Jewish.”

While Kunis was born and raised Jewish in present-day Ukraine, Kutcher grew up Catholic but has been practicing Kabbalah (a form of Judaism focusing on Jewish mysticism) for several years. He even called Kabbalah “one of the essential ingredients” in his marriage to Demi Moore in a March 2008 interview with Harper’s Bazaar. (Kutcher and Moore, 62, were married from 2005 to 2013.)

Interfaith Celebrity Couples Who Celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah

“Every time we come up against a challenge, we turn to the tools we have learned and a solution follows,” Kutcher told the outlet. “Imagine waking up every day knowing with certainty that whatever obstacle you come up against, you will be able to navigate through it to the best possible outcome. That’s what our spiritual foundation provides.”

During Thursday’s interview, Kunis revealed that she was told “never” to talk about being Jewish during her childhood. “I think because I was in a country that didn’t allow for religion,” she explained. “I was raised culturally Jewish, so for me, it’s a culture.”

Kunis also quipped that she was “raised with a lot of guilt,” and that carried over into her adult life. “I think I have a fear of not having enough food. My fear of someone being hungry. Like, the worst thing my kids can say to me is, ‘I’m hungry,’” she stated. “Food fixes everything. You’re tired? Eat some food. You’re cranky? Eat some food. … It is just something that’s embedded in me.”

Kunis and Kutcher wed in 2015 and went on to welcome two kids — daughter Wyatt, 10, and son Dimitri, 8. While chatting with Tishby, 49, about the holiday season, Kunis said she “never lit Hanukkah candles until I had kids.”

Gwyneth Paltrow, Karlie Kloss and More Stars Celebrating Hanukkah 2024

Now, Kunis is getting to experience new aspects of her culture through her and Kutcher’s children. “My kids very much identify with the religion aspect of it,” she said. “I was like, ‘OK, I guess we’ll do [Shabbat] and we’ll do the candles.’ There’s so much beautiful tradition in it.”

Kunis helped Tisby light candles for the second night of Hanukkah during Thursday’s video, and the pair even called Kutcher to clarify which way they should do so. “It’s right to left, babe,” he told Kunis over the phone. “You load them right to left, but you light them — you start with the center candle, so it’s like the anchor candle, and then you light them left to right.”

After successfully lighting the menorah, Tishby joked: “When in doubt about Judaism, call Ashton Kutcher, I guess.”
