The Fantastic Four actress was spotted with a mystery man in London’s Regents Park last weekend, and the two appeared to be plenty comfortable. In photos obtained by The Sun, the man, wearing a black hoodie, white cap and shorts, could be seen giving Alba, 44, a shoulder rub.
Alba, going incognito in a black jacket and cap, is seen grabbing the man’s hand as he rubs her shoulder, and a source told The Sun that the two were seen hugging. They were later seen kissing while seated on a pair of deck chairs.
Alba and Warren, 46, split in January after 13 years of marriage. They both filed for divorce a month later.
“I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” she wrote via Instagram on January 16. “I’m proud of how we’ve grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.”
“We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority, and we request privacy at this time,” she concluded.
Warren has not commented publicly on the divorce, but Alba has been candid about the challenges they faced.
“It’s all rosy for two and a half years. But then after that, you become roommates,” Alba told Katherine Schwarzenegger on her Instagram series Before, During, and After Baby in July 2021. “You’re just going through the motions. You have the responsibilities. It’s a lot of, like, checking the boxes, right?”
An insider told Us Weekly in January that Alba and Warren had been working on their marriage before deciding to split.
“They have had many ups and downs as any marriage would after being together for so many years,” the source said. “They have tried therapy and have worked out past issues over the years.”
“There were trust issues in the past which led to many arguments,” the source added, saying that “at the end of the day, the romance was gone between them.”
The couple share three children — Honor, 16, Haven, 13 and Hayes, 7 — and have continued to coparent amid their split. The family of five celebrated Easter together in April, participating in an egg hunt and visiting a petting zoo.
One source, however, exclusively told Us Weekly that nothing is official with the longtime Bravo star just yet.
“Dolores may be appearing on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, but not necessarily in a friend or full-time capacity,” the insider explained to Us. “She has authentic roots there, and the idea is she would set a tone but not as an official cast member.”
On May 7, Bravo announced their upcoming slate of programming with a mix of returning shows and new additions. In addition to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Orange County, The Real Housewives of Potomac and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City being renewed, the network also announced The Real Housewives of Rhode Island is officially in the works.

“Set against the shores of the Ocean State, The Real Housewives franchise expands into the world of a tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations,” the synopsis stated. “With aspirational lives, thriving businesses and tangled family dynamics, these decade-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there’s no escaping your past … or each other.”
Bravo has yet to announce the cast or a premiere date.
When asked about speculation that the latest Real Housewives city will feature a cast member from another show, Andy Cohen stayed mum.
“I think that’s been a little overstated,” he told People in an interview published Thursday, May 22, before adding he’s open to the idea. “It’s really about who’s in Rhode Island.”
As for what Bravo fans can expect from the show once it’s ready to go, Cohen, 56, described it as “Italian with a capital I” and teased that it’ll give fans “early Jersey vibes,” referring to The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Catania became a full time cast member on The Real Housewives of New Jersey in 2016 ahead of season 7. Since then, she has brought her love for family and loyalty to the Bravo show while trying not to pick sides in the cast’s biggest feuds.
Since the show was paused in 2024, Catania has appeared on The Traitors and has been serving as a guest cohost for iHeartRadio’s “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast while Teddi Mellencamp battles cancer.
Sarah Jessica Parker just wore a dress that gives vibes of a Central Park picnic meets summer style.
The And Just Like That star recently wore a flowy gingham dress AKA the summer style to wear on repeat. She was spotted in her beloved New York City, styling the dress to perfection with a leather belt, pink blazer, black leather shoulder bag and an umbrella to brave the rainy day. While her exact style remains a mystery, we can still get the look with this romantic $30 version — perfect for a day date in the park.
Get the Chouyatou Retro Plaid Smocked Dress (Originally $35) on sale for just $30 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, May 23, 2025, but are subject to change.
You, too, can look like you just stepped out of a rom-com montage while wearing this retro plaid smocked dress. Amazingly, it channels Parker’s exact pick with the same maxi length, smocked bodice and signature black and white print. However, this dress has even more features that we love like flirty ruffle straps, a flare bottom and even pockets!
Made of 100% cotton, this dress is breathable, soft and even moisture-absorbent, making it ideal for warm-weather activities. This does mean, however, that it can only handle a gentle machine wash. But for something this cute, it’s a small price to pay.
It isn’t just a style that Parker likes to twirl around in — Amazon shoppers do, too. In fact, the dress has earned over 700 five-star ratings to date.
One of those reviewers who call it a “gorgeous dress” said that it definitely feels like a “throw-back to the ’70s maxi.”
“I wore mine with a vintage cherry red necklace and black platform sandals,” they continued. “This is lovely and you can accessorize it to your liking.”
Speaking of accessories, Parker’s look proved how this style can go beyond just your typical rattan bag and sandals look. For date nights, dress it up with a fancy pair of heels, statement jewelry and a chic bag . . . dare we say a Fendi baguette? Then when you want to keep it casual, go with simple sneakers, a tote bag and a denim jacket like a true city girl.
But before fans began shipping the couple all summer long, the insider explained that “nothing serious is going on.”
“They were seen flirting and getting cuddly while out at a bar in New York City a few weeks ago,” the source shared with Us. “After their Watch What Happens LiveWith Andy Cohen appearance, they ended up hanging out afterward.”
What started off as friendly banter between two reality stars appears to have led to something fun and innocent.
“Jesse was very straightforward with her and Erika was into it,” the source shared. “It was playful and they were just having fun.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Erika and Jesse’s teams for comment.

Earlier this week, Summer House fans watched Jesse, 31, begin his single era after costar and fellow houseguest Lexi Wood broke up with him citing trust issues.
Although the pair are expected to reunite for the reunion show — kicking off Wednesday, May 28 — Lexi, 27, previously said she hasn’t spoken to Jesse since the current season of Bravo’s hit reality series premiered in February.
“I’m really looking forward to the reunion, to be able to hash some things out with Jesse,” she told Glamour in April. “I think somebody that can blatantly lie when they’re being filmed is a very scary person and I’m not necessarily interested in anything with him.”
As for Erika, 53, she has been single and recently revealed on iHeartRadio’s “Diamonds in the Rough” podcast that she was hesitant to go all-in with dating apps.
“I’m not very good with the old dialogue. I’m very direct, very to the point, and men don’t like that,” she said during a November 2024 episode. “I never look at men and find them attractive. I always say this. I’m never looking at the way someone looks, necessarily. I’m always looking at the feeling I get from them.”
Although Erika experienced a public divorce from Tom Girardi, the “Pretty Mess” singer has been open to finding a second chance at love on or off camera.
“I have done a lot of work on myself and pulling myself together, rebuilding my life,” she told Bravo’s The Daily Dish in January. “[This is] a time to be open and to have fun.”
As Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial continues in New York City, his twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, are now high school graduates.
Jessie and D’Lila, both 18, have graduated from Sierra Canyon High School in California, sharing photos and videos via their Instagram Stories to their joint account on Friday, May 23. Posts showed the two in their navy blue caps and gowns, accepting their diplomas and celebrating together with classmates.
The pair also showed off their class rings and accepted diamond necklaces from their brother, Justin Dior Combs, 31.
“Thankkkk u Justin we love uuuu,” they captioned the video.
In another slide, Diddy’s youngest daughter, two-year-old Love, sat on one of her brother’s shoulders to watch the commencement ceremony, which took place on the Sierra Canyon football field.
They also shared a photo from Sophia Pippen, in which the daughter of Scottie and Larsa Pippen could be seen hugging the twins.
Their big day came less than a week after another major milestone: their senior prom. Over the weekend, they shared photos of their sparkling red dresses, complete with matching nails, necklaces and lipstick.
Last week, the twins were in New York for a less celebratory occasion: to attend their father’s trial, sitting with their grandmother Janice Combs and other siblings. They were in the courtroom on Monday, May 12, leaving when sex worker Daniel Phillipbegan giving testimony about his alleged interactions with Diddy and his ex-girlfriend, Cassie. Phillip was giving graphic accounts of sexual encounters with the couple at the time.
Diddy shared Jessie and D’Lila, as well as son Christian, 27, and adopted son Quincy, 33, with ex Kim Porter, who died in 2018 of lobar pneumonia. (Diddy also shares Justin with ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton, daughter Chance, 18, with Sarah Chapman, and Love with Dana Tran.)
Diddy is on trial following his September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Since his arrest, Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His four requests for bail were denied by Judge Arun Subramanian.

Tori Spelling is making waves on Instagram after sharing a rare, thumb-stopping bikini photo. The unexpected snap made her fans pause — but not just because she looked better than ever.
The actress showcased her lithe physique in a vibrant rainbow-striped two-piece while soaking up the sun, as seen via her social media post on Friday, May 23. Her followers quickly noticed (and inquired) about four subtle marks on her midriff, which were revealed to be belly piercings.
Those weren’t the only edgy accessories featured, as the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum also sported yellow-tinted 70s-esque flat-top sunglasses that gave her a literal sunny disposition. The same could be said for her platinum blonde hair, which was flat-ironed to perfection and perhaps also liberally hair-sprayed, as her sleek waist-length locks didn’t appear to budge.
Spelling, 56, has always been a glamour girl, and so naturally, she wore not just SPF chapstick but several swipes of rosy pink lip gloss and a touch of highlighter on the apples of her cheeks. We’d expect nothing less than “camera-ready” from Spelling, who grew up in the spotlight as the daughter of the late film and television producer, Aaron Spelling. (Lest you forget, Tori’s famous father produced some of the biggest hits from the 1970s through the 1990s, including 90210.)
Fast-forward to Friday. As seen via her Instagram, Spelling was vacationing with her family at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. A mother of five, Spelling shares her brood with ex-husband Dean McDermott: children Liam, 18, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, 8. (McDermott, 58, is also father to Jack, 25, whom he welcomed with ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace.)
These days, Spelling has a new(ish) man in her life, and that’s in addition to her doting children, including Finn, whom she thoughtfully credited for taking the photos for her Instagram. “Spring break + my birthday celebration with my favorite people at @atlantisbahamas. I’m grateful for this time to unwind, laugh, and make memories in paradise ” she captioned the bikini snap.
Spelling’s so-called Instagram boyfriend is Ryan Cramer again — nearly two years after they were last publicly spotted together. The reality star and her former flame reportedly rekindled their romance a few months ago before they made it red-carpet official earlier this month. Just before that, the on-again, off-again couple stepped out for the Los Angeles premiere of The Carters docuseries in April and sparked reconciliation rumors by posing for photos together.
It seems that Spelling is embracing more camera time, as her May 16 birthday celebration is still going on — and just in time for beach season, when bikinis and body piercings go hand in hand.
Brazilian influencer Luna Ambrozevicius Abrahão was stabbed multiple times during a recent livestream.
Abrahão, 22, went live on Instagram on Monday, May 19, and during the broadcast, she was allegedly attacked by her boyfriend with a knife, per Daily Mail. The incident occured after Abrahão allegedly broke up with him.
According to the outlet, Abrahão recorded the aftermath of the attack. The tattoo and beauty content creator sustained an injured foot. She was also stabbed in the head, back and hand. Abrahão was subsequently rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery.
Police are currently searching for Abrahão’s ex-boyfriend as the assailant fled the scene after the attack. The ex is facing charges of domestic violence and attempted murder.
On Thursday, May 22, Abrahão shared an update on her condition.
“It’s so good to be ALIVE! My feeling of gratitude will be eternal! GOD gave me a second chance and I will make the most of it,” she wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of her holding a bouquet of roses while in a hospital bed. “Surviving 10 stab wounds was not only a miracle, it was a rebirth.”
Abrahão added that while she was in the hospital, her 4-year-old daughter, Serena, helped her get through the tough moment.
“Amidst the pain, fear and uncertainty, I found strength in my little Serena,” she penned. “These were the worst hours of my life but when she came to mind I knew I had to live for her!”
Abrahão shared her appreciation for the doctors, nurses and first responders who helped her during her recovery. She also expressed her gratitude to her loved ones who came to her aid when the attack occurred.
“A special thanks to my neighbor Renato who stopped the bleeding until the police arrived,” she wrote. “And to my aunt Marcela who called the ambulance and picked up my daughter from school before anything could happen to her too. Eternal gratitude to my parents who stopped their lives to be by my side at this very delicate moment.”
Abrahão also thanked her supporters online for all the well-wishes they sent her way.
“I am also grateful for every prayer, every positive thought, every word of support I received. Life has shown me how fragile it is and at the same time, how strong we can be in the face of the impossible,” she said. “I’m here. And that alone is reason enough to thank God immensely EVERY DAY!”

Tom Cruise recently set the internet ablaze not for his epic stunt skills but because of his affinity for popcorn.
Cruise got the internet’s attention when he noticed a fan in the front row for a screening of his new movie, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, was tragically out of the beloved movie snack.
“You ate all your popcorn already!” Cruise chided the moviegoer before encouraging them to “go get some more.”
After that clip made waves online, another fan took to social media to weigh in on Cruise’s obsession with popcorn.
“To add onto the Tom/popcorn lore: I need y’all to realize THIS is how he eats popcorn,” the social media user captioned a video of Cruise enthusiastically eating popcorn during a 2018 screening of Mission: Impossible — Fallout.
While hanging out on the side of the theater, Cruise went to town on a bucket of popcorn, shoving pieces into his mouth and occasionally dropping some to the floor. After the clip resurfaced, many fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts on how Cruise consumes his go-to snack.
In addition to the discourse, more instances of Cruise and popcorn emerged online, including a 2023 promotional video for Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One.
“I love my popcorn. Movies. Popcorn,” Cruise said as he ate from a large bucket of the snack on a leather sofa. “Four cities. Four screenings. We had so much fun at the first fan screenings for Mission: Impossible! Thank you to everyone who came out.”
Keep scrolling as Us explains why Cruise’s love for popcorn took the internet by storm:
The Key Players

Cruise attended a fan screening for his new movie Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning. Writer Todd Spenceshared a clip online of Cruise chatting with an unnamed fan about popcorn. Another fan, who goes by the username @seifwtf, added more to the popcorn lore online.
The Gist
While at the May 2025 screening at BFI IMAX in London, an unnamed fan was in the audience with an empty bucket of popcorn. Before taking the stage, Cruise saw the fan in the audience and pointed out he needed to get some more popcorn before the movie started.
After that interaction got shared online, @seifwtf shared a throwback clip of Cruise chowing down on popcorn during a screening of Mission: Impossible — Fallout in 2018.
Why It’s a Big Deal
Spence’s post quickly went viral, and other instances of Cruise eating popcorn resurfaced, causing more fanfare. During a later appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Cruise was asked by Darius Butler whether he really eats popcorn that way. Cruise owned his love for the ultimate movie snack.
“Man, I’m eating popcorn,” Cruise said as he laughed. “They know when I’m going to these movies that I’m watching, I’m eating popcorn.”
What People Are Saying

The clip took the internet by storm, and fans didn’t hold back their thoughts by providing hysterical commentary.
“This is how my dad eats popcorn,” one user commented, while another added, “Tom Cruise eating popcorn like he an uncle with a handful of peanuts.”
Butler, for his part, also shared his reaction to Cruise himself.
“I’ve never seen anyone eat popcorn [like] this,” Butler said to the actor. “Are you actually eating popcorn or are you full of s*** right here, TC? I’ve got to know.”
Other fans have pointed out that Cruise’s love of popcorn is just one manifestation of his unshakeable love for the experience of watching movies in a theater. The popcorn thing is a joke, but it’s also proof that no one in Hollywood is as happy making movies and watching them as he is. As the man himself told The Hollywood Reporter: “I’m going to make movies into my 80s; actually, I’m going to make them into my 100s.”
What We’re Saying
Cruise clearly loves popcorn just as much as he loves doing his own stunts.
What’s Next
Cruise will most likely continue to enjoy his favorite movie snack. Who knows — maybe a popcorn-themed partnership could be in his future!
Machine Gun Kelly gave a rare glimpse into his life as he coparents his two-month-old daughter with ex Megan Fox.
MGK (real name Colson Baker) shared an Instagram video on Friday, May 23, of himself reacting to discovering that he is on Spotify’s New Music Friday cover. In the video, the musician, 35, is seated in a kitchen and can be seen jumping for joy when he opens his Spotify app.
He then excitedly FaceTimes his 15-year-old daughter, Casie, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon. (Fox, for her part, also shares sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex Brian Austin Green.)
“You’re sister’s asleep so I can’t scream but I want to scream so loud,” he tells her.
Though Kelly did not confirm he was in Fox’s kitchen, the rapper has been staying with his ex-fiancée several nights a week to help out with their baby, who lives full-time with the Transformers actress. Eagle-eyed commenters noted what appeared to be a breast pump in the background of the clip and a few claim they were able to hear Fox’s laugh off camera.

The kitchen itself was busy, with a cluttered countertop and well-stocked pantry slightly ajar behind MGK. He was seated at a round table and a staircase was visible through the doorway to his left.
While Fox has been impressed with how Kelly has supported her with the baby, a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month that the two are not about to rekindle their relationship.
“Megan thinks MGK has stepped up and is being a good dad but doesn’t think they have a future together romantically,” the insider said. “Megan is in heaven with her baby girl and is really focused on being a mom right now.”
MGK gave fans a peek at the pair’s daughter on Thursday, May 22, via an Instagram carousel that he captioned, “Stop what you’re doing these pictures are v important.”
In one of the photos, he had the baby strapped to his chest in a baby carrier. The baby was visible mostly in a car’s reflection and her face is hidden.
The photo came one day after Fox revealed via Instagram that her pregnancy was “unplanned.” She shared the revelation in a video via her Instagram Stories that teased her cameo on the new Hulu comedy Overcompensating.
“38 years old six weeks pregnant (unplanned but a happy surprise),” she captioned the video. “Please stop listening to the patriarchy. Women are eternal light beings.”
She added, “We do not have an expiration date. Don’t let them rob you of your power.”
Katie Couric is sending her love to a member of her Today show family.
The former coanchor of the NBC morning show took to Instagram on Friday, May 23, to pay tribute to Sheinelle Jones’ husband, Uche Ojeh, after his unexpected death at age 45. “Sending so much love, support and sympathy to @sheinelle_o following the loss of her beloved husband Uche after a valiant struggle with glioblastoma,” she wrote alongside a photo of the couple.
Couric, 68, continued, “My heart is breaking for her and their three children. Please hold them in your hearts. Love you Sheinelle .”
Couric left her role as Today’s coanchor in 2006, eight years before Jones, 47, joined the series as a Weekend Today cohost. Jones has served as a cohost of the show’s third hour alongside Al Roker, Craig Melvin and Dylan Dreyer since 2019.
Jones has been absent from Today since December 2024. In January, she clarified via Instagram that she was “taking time to deal with a family health matter.” During Friday’s Today broadcast, Savannah Guthrie broke the news that Ojeh had died after a private battle with the brain cancer glioblastoma.

“There are no words for the pain that we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children. Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him,” Guthrie, 53, tearfully announced.
The show aired a video package revisiting the couple’s biggest moments, from falling in love as students at Northwestern University to their 2007 wedding to becoming parents to their three kids — son Kayin, 15, and twins Clara and Uche, 12.

“We just want to say Sheinelle, Kayin, little Uche and Clara, the Ojeh family, we are with you. We love you,” Guthrie added. “You are our family, and we are just sending all of our love to you right now.”
Jones broke her silence on Ojeh’s death by sharing her colleagues’ on-air tributes via Instagram. “Thank you, for all of your love and support ,” she wrote alongside the clip on Friday.
Couric went through a similar experience as Jones when she lost her first husband, Jay Monahan, to colon cancer at age 42 in 1998. The spouses, who wed in 1989, shared daughters Ellie, 33, and Carrie, 29. She found new love with her husband, John Molner, whom she wed in 2014.
Couric became a grandmother in March 2024 with the birth of Ellie and her husband Mark Dobrosky’s son, John. Her grandson was named after Jay, whose full name was John Paul Monahan.
Earlier this year, Couric exclusively told Us Weekly that her husband’s legacy lives on through their kids and baby John. “Now every time I see Baby Jay, I think of my Jay and Ellie and Carrie’s Jay,” she shared in March while promoting the Cologuard Classic by Exact Sciences golf tournament to help raise colon cancer awareness.
“I always think of how proud he would be of them,” she added. “So, we think about him a lot.”

If you’ve been looking for a great time to catch up on all of the Netflix shows you’ve been meaning to watch, a three-day holiday weekend has arrived just in time.
Netflix’s global productions are so numerous that it’s a rare when the streamer doesn’t have some incredible international series that are just waiting to be discovered by a global audience.
This week, Netflix has a high-profile limited series called Sirens as well as the noir-ish drama from Denmark called Secrets We Keep.
To close out the final selection on the Watch With Us team’s underrated Netflix shows to watch this weekend, we went with a true crime story set in the Vatican.
House of the Dragon‘s Milly Alcock has a central role in Sirens as Simone DeWitt, the devoted personal assistant to billionaire Michaela “Kiki” Kell (Julianne Moore). But when Simone is tracked down by her older sister, Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy), she can’t see that she’s been taken in by a cult of personality surrounding Michaela. Simone may have more power than the rest of Michaela’s followers, but she’s just as trapped as they are and doesn’t even realize it.
Even Michaela’s husband, Peter Kell (Kevin Bacon), acknowledges that the hold she has on Simone and her other employees is abnormal. But Devon is the only one willing to stand up to Michaela to do something about it, whether Simone wants her help or not.
It’s time to turn on the subtitles for another Nordic noir. Unless you’re fluent in Danish, of course. Secrets We Keep revolves around Cecilie (Marie Bach Hansen), a woman living with her husband, Mike (Simon Sears), and their children in an affluent neighborhood. Cecilie and her au pair, Angel (Excel Busano), both become concerned about Ruby (Donna Levkovski), the au pair for their neighbors, Katrina (Danica Curcic) and Rasmus (Lars Ranthe).
Ruby confided in Cecilie that she wasn’t happy living with her employers, and the next day she went missing. It’s very suspicious that Ruby is nowhere to be found, but her money and passport have been left behind. Neither Ruby’s employers nor the police seem that concerned about her fate, with perhaps the lone exception of the town’s new detective, Aicha (Sara Fanta Traore). To figure out what happened to Ruby, Cecilie and Aicha may have to work together to get the ugly truth out in the open.
‘Vatican Girl: The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi’ (2022)
The Vatican, as seen in the recent hit Conclave, isn’t just the heart of the Catholic Church — it’s also a sovereign country. And it’s not without occasional mysteries or scandals of its own. One of the most infamous examples of that is the still-unsolved case of Emanuela Orlandi, a 15-year-old girl who went missing in 1983.
Vatican Girl: The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi dives into the backstory of the story surrounding that event. There’s more speculation than answers awaiting viewers here, but the theories point the finger at everything from terrorist plots to organized crime and even the Catholic Church itself. It’s been over 40 years since Orlandi vanished, but her family hasn’t stopped asking the Vatican to share anything the church knows about what happened to her.
Vatican Girl: The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi is streaming on Netflix.
Sydney Sweeney sent temperatures soaring on Friday, May 23, when she went for a breezy bike ride in head-to-toe Miu Miu while on vacation, and just in time for the holiday.
When the Euphoria actress shared the photos on Instagram, the post instantly went viral, garnering 350,000 likes in under an hour. This was undoubtedly thanks partly to her skimpy skirt, which previously caused a social media sensation when it debuted on the Miu Miu runway.
Since then, the hems at the French fashion house have continued to shrink, and Sweeney, 27, is using the long weekend to show off the Internet’s favorite, most-talked-about micro mini skirt.
“Just wandering around,” Sweeney captioned the cheeky post. With the wind in her hair and sand on her bare feet, she leaned over the front of her beach cruiser-style white bicycle, made a duck face pose for the camera, and poked out her bum to highlight the skirt’s scant proportions.
Intentionally cut to be a cropped alternative to the traditional mini skirt, Miu Miu’s daring length, or lack thereof, has a barely-there bottom that is all but guaranteed to turn heads (and get just as many Instagram likes). For her part, Sweeney doubled down on the idea of less is more with an itty bitty black tube top embroidered with the brand’s logo in similarly small white lettering.

In true Miu Miu girl fashion, Sweeney didn’t ride off into the sun without her beloved Wander bag hanging from the handlebars, and the style name also seemed to inspire her Instagram caption.
The moment recalled another It Bag thirst-trap that Sweeney posted back in December 2024. At the time, she went topless underneath a cozy cardigan and only a designer bag to conceal her. The styling left little to the imagination but spoke volumes about her love for all things Miu Miu.
Jamie Foxx won’t forget the wild rumors that once surrounded his health scare.
“I snuck in my phone because I didn’t know what the outside world was saying, and I couldn’t get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke,” Foxx, 57, shared with The Hollywood Reporter in a roundtable interview published Thursday, May 22. “I’m in f***ing perfect shape. [I see things like,] ‘Puffy tried to kill me.’ No, Puffy didn’t try to kill me.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Diddy’s team for additional comment. (The rap mogul’s team has long maintained the rumor was entirely false and unfounded.)
That wasn’t the only crazy — and false — rumor that spread online during Foxx’s hospitalization.
“When they said I was a clone, that made me flip,” Foxx said in his latest interview. “I’m sitting in the hospital bed, like, ‘These bitch-ass motherf***ers are trying to clone me.’ And then I saw me walk into my room, but I’m white, so I see the white me.”
After Foxx shared his theory that hospital staff were trying to clone him, one psychiatrist asked if the actor was alright.
“I say, ‘Am I alright or am I all-white? I saw you trying to get the white motherf***ing Jamie Foxx and it ain’t going to happen,’” Foxx recalled. “[The doctor] just calmly goes, ‘I think we’re going to lower your dosage.’”
In the Netflix comedy special, the actor said he experienced a bad headache in April 2023. The symptoms later led to a brain bleed, which led to a stroke.
In a rare public appearance at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, Foxx shined a light on how his health scare transformed his outlook on life.
“You know how you take a picture on your cell phone and you hit that first filter and it brightens up? That’s the way life looks now. Everything is altered,” Foxx shared with E! News. “When it actually happens to you, you appreciate it more, I appreciate these moments more.”
Throughout his recovery, Foxx tried to remain largely tight-lipped about the specifics of his health scare. In July 2023, however, the actor made a rare statement to clarify some of the rumors surrounding his condition.
“You know, by being quiet, sometimes things get out of hand, people saying what I got [and] some people said I was blind, but as you can see the eyes are working. The eyes are working just fine!” he said in an Instagram video. “They said I was paralyzed, I’m not paralyzed, but I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well. I’m coming back and I’m able to work.”
Britney Spears’ latest plane ride appeared to be a bumpy ride.
According to TMZ, the “I’m a Slave 4 U” singer, 43, was flying on a private jet from Cabo San Lucas to Los Angeles on Thursday, May 22, when she started drinking alcohol on the plane.
During the flight, Spears allegedly pulled out a cigarette, lit it and started smoking.
At one point in the trip, the flight attendants became alarmed and allegedly ordered the singer to put out the cig. Although Spears complied, the singer was met by authorities when she landed at LAX airport and was warned about her conduct, TMZ reported.
Us Weekly has reached out to Spears’ rep and LAX police for comment. Private plane service JSX had no comment when reached by Us.
Earlier this week, Spears posted videos of herself dancing at what appeared to be a tropical destination. She didn’t leave a caption on her Instagram posts and continues to have comments turned off. (A source previously told Us in May 2024 that Spears considers her dancing Instagram videos “work,” adding that they “keep her entertained.”)
Ever since Spears’ conservatorship came to an end in late 2021, the singer has continued to stay away from the music industry.
At the same time, she’s had a lot to celebrate, including a recent reunion with her younger son, Jayden, 18. (The “Toxic” singer and ex-husband Kevin Federline also share Preston, 19.)
“He’s open to mending the relationship with his mom and seeing where things go,” a source exclusively told Us for a December 2024 cover story. “Britney was very excited to hear from him; [it] means everything to her.”
At home in Los Angeles, multiple sources told Us that Spears has a small circle of friends who regularly check in with her. One insider, however, warned that the singer can be “all over the place, and very hot and cold.”
“[She’s either] on top of the world happy or crying because of a paparazzi photo,” the insider shared.
Looking toward the future, those closest to Spears are hopeful she can continue pursuing projects she’s passionate about like dancing, jewelry and writing.
“She’s been getting excited about a lot of different projects,” a source previously told Us before teasing a possible dance studio gig for Spears.
Another insider added, “Britney lives a very low-key life. She’s not career-focused — she only wants to do things that bring her happiness right now.”
Stark, 33, and Guzman, 37, who star as Evan “Buck” Buckley and Eddie Diaz, respectively, have become fan-favorite characters over the show’s eight seasons — largely in part to the duo’s close onscreen friendship (and, at times, speculated romance). It’s no surprise that some of their most iconic moments on the show have been together, from fights to saving each other’s lives and more.
Filming together, however, isn’t always as easy as it seems behind the scenes. While speaking exclusively to Us Weekly, Stark confessed that the season 4 episode “Suspicion,” in which Eddie gets shot, was particularly challenging — but not for reasons one would expect.
“It wasn’t a particularly heavy day emotionally because we knew he was gonna survive, right? It was a heavy day that I had to keep throwing him over my shoulder, to throw him into the back of the fire truck,” Stark told Us with a laugh. “And most people when they do a scene like that, they’ll ask questions like, ‘Ah, is it OK that your back doesn’t hurt?’ Whatever. This is no word of a lie: Between every single take, Ryan was eating chocolate cake. And I have to throw him over my shoulder. And I’m like, ‘Why are you making yourself heavier for me?!’”
Here, the duo look back at some of their most popular scenes for Buck, Eddie, and the friendship that has been lovingly dubbed Buddie:
Season 3, Episode 9: Buck Asks Eddie to Go for the Title
Oliver Stark: Ah, yeah, this kitchen scene. There’s meant to be, the way that it read to me anyway, it’s a lot of tension. There’s a lot of buildup [to] the point that you’re like, “The heck is about to happen here? Are they gonna fight or what?” And then there’s, like, a smash cut to them playing video games. But it was fun to see the limit that you could take it to, how much you could amp it up and then undercut it with the video games. But I think there’s something previously in that episode where, because we’re talking about fighting, I think I said to him, “I thought you were gonna hit me.” And he says something like, “Bet I can beat you up.” And it goes from there and it’s basically we’re just each trying to one-up each other until smash cut to playing video games with Chris (Gavin McHugh), and I love that the show plays between tones so well. It does feel really intense, but it never takes itself too seriously for too long. I think that’s a strength of the show, and really, this scene is a great example of that.
Season 4, Episode 4: Buck Yells at His Parents to Love Him ‘Anyway’
OS: This seemed very emotional, cathartic. If there’s ever any time you’ve wanted to scream at your parents, this was a really big scene for me and it precedes, if I remember correctly, the “Buck Begins” episode, which is a look back into his childhood. I think we played it lots of different ways, if I remember correctly, how heated it gets. And there’s this line in the scene that I really love, which I just thought was so fitting for Buck. He talks about having walked through fire every single day because of his parents and because of the upbringing. And we find out later, I think later in the episode, that Buck was basically born to be a donor to his brother, who had leukemia. And that gives so much context to his childhood for him. All of that angst that came out of that childhood came spilling out in the scene. I remember Kenny [Choi]came up to me. We shot my coverage and the camera was facing me. And when I would shout at Dee [Wallace], who plays my mom in the show, she would always, like, shudder a bit when I got loud. And Kenny came up and he was like, “You see, she keeps on jumping back? Make sure when it’s on her coverage you shout just as loud to get that kind of scare out of her!” So obviously we did. Her and Greg [Harrison], who plays my dad, are both fantastic actors. So it was just nice for everybody to come together and work for each other in the scene. And I really love the way it came off.
Season 4, Episode 13: Eddie Gets Shot
Oliver Stark, Ryan GuzmanABC
OS: The scene where Eddie gets shot, it wasn’t a particularly heavy day emotionally because we knew he was gonna survive, right? It was a heavy day that I had to keep throwing him over my shoulder, to throw him into the back of the fire truck. And most people when they do a scene like that, they’ll ask questions like, “Ah, is it OK that your back doesn’t hurt?” Whatever. This is no word of a lie: Between every single take, Ryan was eating chocolate cake. And I have to throw him over my shoulder. And I’m like, “Why are you making yourself heavier for me?” But I was probably throwing him extra hard to spite him back. I think my biggest concern on the day, because I remember getting almost quite in my head about it, is he gets shot from behind and the blood splatters over my face — the timing of me reacting to the blood. Because [if someone’s going to] hide down here with a squirt gun and blast me in the face with blood, it is very difficult to convince yourself you don’t know that’s about to happen, so some part of you is ready to recoil for it, but Buck doesn’t know that it’s about to happen. So trying to trick my brain into, “Here we are just talking, oh, no, here it comes?” That was my biggest difficulty on the day. But the take that we got actually worked perfectly, however many changes of a white shirt that I was wearing later. We really had a lot of fun with that episode, crawling under the fire truck and getting to do all the things that I love to do on the show. The physical stuff and just committing to it. Thankfully it really turned out.
Ryan Guzman: Honestly, the only thing I was thinking about is my cousin, and he had been to war six different tours and he’d seen plenty of people getting shot. And I remember him telling me something about people getting shot and how sometimes it just goes right through you. So it was very kind of graphic, I guess, in my mind. But I was really just trying to keep it calm and grounded for the scene. But yeah, shout-out to my cousin and those that serve.
Season 5, Episode 13: Eddie Breaks Down to Buck
Ryan GuzmanABC
RG: Man, what I’m thinking right there is I am drained. I’ve been crying all day. And I cried on my takes and Oliver’s takes. So it was just nonstop. My eyes were puffy by the end of the night. It was cathartic, I guess it was a release or whatever. Maybe I had been holding on for whatever, for 30 years. It was fun.
Season 7, Episode 4: Buck Plays Jealous Basketball
OS: It was very fun for about an hour and a half. Six hours later, my knees were hurting, I was out of breath. Well, actually, I was out of breath within the first 10 minutes. But it was great. We had a beautiful location and basketball court, as you know if you’ve seen the scene, like, right on the ocean. So we were all really happy to be there. And it just felt like something different for the show. We weren’t in the firehouse, we weren’t in the firetrap. We [weren’t in] one of our houses and we were getting to do something different. None of us are particularly skilled in the art of basketball, which I think is good. If one of us was really, really good and the rest of us were really bad, I think we wouldn’t have had so much fun together. But it was a really fun day of working out different, mostly choreographed plays. I didn’t expect it to go that way. Naively, I thought it’d be, like, just play basketball and see what happens. But it wasn’t, it was a rehearsed almost dance of, “Alright, you’re gonna pass over there so then this guy’s gonna move over here,” and how to set up and tell the story through the plays. I naively just thought I was gonna get to play basketball for a day freely, but it all worked out and we got to tell the story through the game, as it were. And yeah, definitely one of my favorite days as I look back on 9-1-1.
Season 8, Episode 17: Eddie and Buck Fight in the Kitchen
Ryan GuzmanABC
OS: So the most recent Buck-Eddie fight, fueled by grief and differing levels of grief, and Eddie is dealing with the fact that he wasn’t there for the death and Buck is dealing with the fact that he was there for the death. And so those are already two conflicting things, and I love the way this scene came together. I didn’t realize this when we were making it, but it’s all shot handheld, the camera’s kind of shaking at points, and it feels very raw, which I think is very fitting with the kind of emotions that are going on here. I didn’t realize during the scene that Ryan was gonna grab hold of me and lunge at me, but during the duration of the show, we’ve kind of built such a trust, myself, him and the rest of the cast. So you have that kind of sandbox to play in. There’s a high level of trust, so if somebody wants to try something, you feel like you have the space to do that. And I love the way the scene came together.
Us Weekly: So you had no idea that was going to happen?
OS: No, like, “Get off me.”
Us: Did you and Ryan have any conversations before that or did you kind of just go right into it?
OS: No, so the show, we don’t really rehearse beforehand. I mean, obviously, we rehearse on the day and work it out with the director and the [director of photography] and then we set the cameras up. But everybody always comes with their own ideas. And the way that it always comes together is that the best idea in the room wins, which is oftentimes an amalgamation of different people’s ideas. You know, “I thought I wanted to move over here,” and, “Oh, well I wanted to move over here.” Right? “Well, what if we kind of do this instead?” And it just comes together and we’ve gotten quicker and quicker and more in sync with each other at doing that over the years.
RG: Yeah, this scene, it had so many great textures, again, thanks to [showrunner] Tim [Minear]. And Oliver’s, right. We rehearsed it one time, but I did it super bland, mellow as can be. And then the director pulls me off to the side and says, like, “You want to hit him right now? Do you wanna punch him?” And I go, “I don’t know if I wanna punch him! But let’s play with that.” And lo and behold, I started elevating the pushing.
In the world of celebrity, Cannes Film Festival is known for two things: over-the-top fashion moments and excessive standing ovations.
Since the festival’s new dress code bans theatrical extravagance — including long trains and naked dresses — invested fans are left to entertain themselves with reports of the amount of time our favorite stars spent clapping for the new films.
While it’s unknown where the practice of extended applause at Cannes originated, film buffs have clung onto the practice as a litmus test for a film’s success and awards potential — on par with the festival’s coveted Palme d’Or award. (The current record is held by Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, with a reported 22 minutes of clapping at the 2006 festival.)
Take last year for example: The Substance, Emilia Pérez and Anora were among the films with the longest standing ovations at Cannes — reportedly 11, 10 and nine minutes, respectively — and the trifecta of films went on to score 24 nominations total. However, Anora took home the most coveted Best Picture prize at the Academy Awards despite having the lowest applause total of the three.
Whether it’s a perfect science or not, we remain fascinated by the event’s standing ovation culture, and Us Weekly has broken down the applause totals from this year’s festival (May 13-May 24) in our Cannes Clap-o-Meter:
Leo Lewis O’Neil’s raw documentary that centers on Shia LaBeouf’s experimental theater company and devolves into what Variety calls “ego-driven insanity, complete with physical violence and harrowing screaming matches,” garnered a two-minute ovation. LaBeouf himself turned up to the screening to watch the film for the very first time. “I’ve done a lot of coming to terms with the failure that was my life, and the plastic foundation I had,” the actor says in the opening moments of the doc. “I left a lot of people in the wake of my personality defects.”
Spike Lee’s neo-noir crime thriller reunites him with Denzel Washington for the fifth time since their last project together, 2006’s Inside Man. Also starring Jeffrey Wright and ASAP Rocky, the film is a modern reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 classic, High and Low, which was based on Ed McBain’s 1959 novel King’s Ransom. Rocky drew plenty of attention, as he was accompanied by a pregnant Rihanna at the premiere.
Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut, which stars 95-year-old June Squibb in a role that could earn her an Oscar nod, earned a six-minute ovation, according to Deadline. The story centers around a woman grieving the loss of her best friend and roommate as she embarks on a journey to Manhattan to live with her daughter and grandson. Calling the film “very timely,” Johansson could be seen in a long embrace with Squibb during the rapturous applause.
Adapted from Lidia Yuknavitch’s best-selling 2011 memoir, Kristen Stewart’s long-in-the-works feature directorial debut stars Imogen Poots and left enthusiastic viewers moved and satisfied. Jim Belushi and Thora Birch also star. Stewart herself told moviegoers (per Deadline) that the film is “about iteration. Getting up and trying again. Repossessing your body, your desires, your ambitions and your dreams. I wanted to create a form that was unruly and, again, hard to pin down.”
While Variety clocked Eddington’s ovation at five minutes, Deadline reported seven minutes for Ari Aster’s modern western. The film is set in the COVID era of May 2020 and stars Joaquin Phoenix — who was brought to tears during the extended applause — Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Austin Butler and more. The movie is Aster’s highly anticipated followup to features Hereditary, Midsommar and Beau Is Afraid.
The Tom Cruise-helmed series’ epic finale had its O cut short so the team could give speeches. “I’m just very grateful, very grateful for 30 years to be able to entertain you with this franchise,” Cruise reportedly told the crowd, while his costar Tramell Tillman was patiently waiting for the speeches to be over so he could relieve his bladder.
"So, finally, the credits roll and I'm thinking, 'Okay, finally, we're done. I can get up and I [can] leave,'" the Severance star recalled to Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday May 21’s episode of his late-night show. "I stand up, there's a cameraman who has this camera right on my face, and they're now filming the seven-minute standing ovation. So I can't go anywhere! And I'm thinking, 'Please, for the love of God, stop celebrating us and let me go pee.'"
Wes Anderson’s latest quirky flick features Mia Threapleton — Kate Winslet’s daughter, in her breakout role — who was left in tears as the audience raved for seven-plus minutes. The film also stars Benicio Del Toro, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, Willem Dafoe and F. Murray Abraham in an ensemble dysfunctional family comedy set in 1950.
As a screwball comedy about an open marriage, Michael Angelo Covino’s comedy was certainly a standout at the film festival. Cannes newbie Dakota Johnson gave Covino — who declared, “We need to keep making comedies for Cannes, plain and simple. Because laughter should be seen in a theater, not on a television screen” — a hug as the audience roared for a reported eight minutes. The film also stars Adria Arjona, Kyle Marvin and Nicholas Braun.
Centered on a woman “engulfed by love and madness,” Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson’s new drama is already earning the actress Oscar buzz in her first film since welcoming her second baby with husband Cooke Maroney. (Pattinson also recently became a dad, welcoming his first child with Suki Waterhouse in March 2024!) Based on the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz, the movie also stars LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte.
Director Oliver Hermanus praised “the genius that is Paul Mescal” — who stars opposite Josh O’Connor in the period piece — in his post-screening remarks. The two actors’ characters meet at Boston Music Conservatory in 1917, and the film follows the next few decades as the pair reminisce on their brief connection.
While Variety reported Vie Privée (A Private Life)’s ovation as eight minutes, Deadline clocked an extravagant 10 minutes. The crowd reportedly cheered wildly for star Jodie Foster, even as the actress gestured toward director Rebecca Zlotowski. In the Paris-set film, Foster stars as a Freudian analyst who seeks to solve the mystery of her client’s death.
Not only did Richard Linklater’s French-language title (starring Guillaume Marbeck and Zoey Deutch) earn an 11-minute ovation from the crowd, including an enthusiastic Quentin Tarantino, it also drew the Pulp Fiction filmmaker to watch the film twice in just eight hours.
Despite a reported medical emergency an hour into the film’s runtime, director Julia Ducournau (who won the Palme d’Or for Titane in 2021) was treated to 12 minutes of applause for her genre-bending film. Starring Tahar Rahim, Golshifteh Farahani, Mélissa Boros and Emma Mackey, the story takes place in the ‘80s and ‘90s when a troubled young girl’s world collapses after she comes home from school with a tattoo one day.
Clocking in at a whopping 19 minutes, the standing ovation for Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier’s feature might just prove the statement star Elle Fanning wore on her T-shirt ahead of the screening (which Charli XCX also declared at Coachella): “Joachim Trier Summer.” Also starring Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, the film follows a complex family of filmmakers as Skarsgård’s Gustav hopes to make his comeback movie.
The Hollywood and news communities are supporting Sheinelle Jones in the wake of her husband Uche Ojeh’s death.
Savannah Guthrie announced on the Friday, May 23, episode of Today that Ojeh recently died at age 45 after a private battle with the brain cancer glioblastoma. “There are no words for the pain that we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children. Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him.”
Jones, 47, served as her husband’s tour guide at Northwestern University, and the two fell in love during their college days in the late ‘90s. Ojeh proposed on the school’s campus and the two tied the knot in September 2007.
They first became parents with the birth of their eldest son, Kayin, in August 2009, and expanded their family with the birth of twins Clara and Uche in July 2012.
Jones has been absent from her role on the third hour of Today since December 2024. The following month, she announced via Instagram that she was “taking time to deal with a family health matter.”

Guthrie also praised both Jones and Ojeh for being “so strong” amid the latter’s health battle. “Uche had a beautiful, deep, abiding faith every single day of this fight, and you could see it in his eyes. He was an extraordinary person,” she stated. “We love him and we love you, Sheinelle.”

The end of the month is coming up fast, and Peacock will be resetting its movie library very soon.
Unlike many of the other streamers, only a handful of titles are on Peacock long term. Even the films owned by Peacock’s parent company, Universal Pictures, regularly cycle in and out.
The first two titles on Watch With Us‘ list of the three underrated Peacock movies to watch this weekend are films that won’t be sticking around in June.
Our third pick is a recently debuted true crime documentary that has enough mystery to fill up a novel. If you love that genre, it’s a can’t miss experience.
Last year, British singer Robbie Williams starred in his own biopic, Better Man, as a CGI chimpanzee. Pharrell Williams (no relation) went even further with his music biopic, Piece by Piece, which retells his life story as an animated Lego film. That not only allowed Williams to play himself, it opened the doors for his wife, his parents and more to portray themselves as well.
Several of Williams’ friends and collaborators in the music industry also lent their voices to their Lego counterparts, including Gwen Stefani, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z. But it is ultimately Williams’ story of how he broke into the music industry and how creating music for other artists initially kept him from creating music for himself. Once Williams got past that, he had a few more stumbling blocks along the way, not all of which were made out of Lego.
Game of Thrones‘ Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway star as a newly married couple, Bea and Paul, in Honeymoon. Don’t let the title fool you into thinking that this is some kind of rom-com, though. The honeymoon is over pretty quickly when Paul discovers Bea naked and disoriented in the woods during their vacation.
Bea claims she was just sleepwalking, but she begins displaying disturbing behavior and a lack of knowledge about their life together that unnerves Paul. As far as Paul knows, the woman who came back with him may not even be his wife. But getting answers from Bea leads to some strange and dangerous situations for the couple, and no therapy can fix this.
Southern Fried Lies expands on a real true crime story that features running commentary from one of the perpetrators and one of the victims. It’s twisty enough that someone should make a real movie out of this, because Donna Herring is quite a character. Years ago, Donna decided that she wanted her daughter, Alex Herring, to marry the richest man in town, Matthew Jacobs. And they pulled it off.
The source of Jacobs’ wealth stemmed from a settlement that he got after surviving the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig explosion. It’s not a huge spoiler to say that Jacobs didn’t survive his marriage. But the thing that caught the attention of the police is that Matthew’s will gave everything to Alex and left nothing for his son, Jordan Jacobs. As suspicious as that sounds, the tale gets even wilder from there, and both Jordan and Donna get to share their perspective on how everything went down.
One of the great mysteries surrounding Bill Belichick’s relationship with girlfriend Jordon Hudson finally has a resolution.
In 2023, a shirtless Ring surveillance camera video of Belichick, 73 slinking out of an unknown home circulated online.
While details about the video remained scarce, it didn’t prevent Belichick’s former New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, from bringing it up at his infamous live Netflix roast in May 2024.
“Everybody asks me which ring is my favorite,” Brady, 47, said. “I used to say, ‘The next one.’ But now that I’m retired, my favorite Ring is the camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house at 6 a.m. a few months ago.”
At the time, it was believed that Belichick was leaving Hudson’s house, who was his rumored girlfriend at the time.
However, on the Friday, May 23 episode of the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast, journalist Pablo Torre reportedly uncovered thereal story behind the video — and even found a new one.
Torre, 39, managed to discover a separate Ring camera video of a “very shirtless” Belichick leaving the same home around the same time as the first video, which were both discovered to be taken in July 2023 when Belichick was still head coach of the Patriots.
Using a team of geo guessers, including social media personality Rainbolt, Torre was able to zero in on the exact location of the house in the video: an Airbnb in Winthrop, Massachusetts, roughly 7 miles outside of Boston.
Not only did Torre find the location of the home, he made the trip there himself.

During his time in Winthrop, Torre met the married owners of the Airbnb, who live directly above oceanside property. In an interview with Torre, the owners recalled Hudson and Belichick’s fateful stay.
“We saw the Ring video in the morning, not knowing who this was,” the female owner claimed. “But this is an older gentleman with a very young woman who checked in the night before.”
The male owner remembered thinking Belichick was Hudson’s “relative or a drug dealer.”
Upon closer examination, however, the male owner thought, “That does look like Belichick.”
Despite booking the Airbnb for four nights, the owners said Hudson was barely there.
“As the week went on, we were thinking she was an escort or something,” the female owner said.
Us Weekly has reached out to Belichick and Hudson.
When it comes to how the Ring camera footage eventually got circulated months after Hudson and Belichick’s stay, the owners suspect one of their friends was responsible for leaking it after the video was sent to them.
Torre made it clear that he does not believe the couple nor Hudson herself were responsible for giving the video of Belichick to the media.
To confirm that Hudson and Belichick stayed in the rental property, Torre found a review that Hudson left on Airbnb in July 2023 after their booking.
She wrote, “Great spot. Great views. Great host. Great value. ”
