Love Is Blind season 7 alum Ashley Adionser has split from husband Tyler Francis after one year of marriage.

“After much reflection, I want to share that Tyler and I have been separated for several weeks and have now made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” Adionser, 32, said in a statement to People on Tuesday, January 21. “While I had hoped for mutual understanding and transparency in our relationship, it has become clear that our paths are no longer aligned, making it impossible for me to continue in this marriage.”

Adionser added that the decision to call it quits was not an easy one, but clarified that it was “necessary.”

“This was not a decision I made lightly, but one I know is necessary for my own growth and peace,” she continued. “While this chapter is ending, I will always hold respect for the time and love we shared. I kindly ask for privacy during this deeply personal time as I focus on healing and building a new future. Thank you for your understanding and support.”

Love Is Blind’s Ashley Got Apology DM From Woman Tyler Donated Sperm To

During their season of Love Is Blind, which aired in October 2024, Adionser and Francis connected — and got engaged — in the pods. After meeting face-to-face for the first time, Adionser received her engagement ring and the pair took off on a getaway in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

After their romantic trip, Adionser and Francis moved in together in Washington D.C. for a “trial marriage.” It was then that Francis revealed he had fathered multiple children. According to the military veteran, he donated sperm to a friend who could not have biological children.

“You’ve been running around here talking about how we’re getting married, but you’ve also been running around saying how you want to have kids now. And it’s like, ‘Whoa,’” Adionser said in an October 2024 episode. “How did you, like, even talk about any of that? I just can’t wrap my mind around it without even considering your past at all?”

Despite Adionser being upset that Francis kept that information away from her at first, the twosome ultimately walked down the aisle and said “I do.” Adionser later revealed that the children’s birth mother reached out to her to apologize.

“I will say she wrote me on Instagram and apologized to me and Tyler. [She] said she’s praying for us and she never meant for it to go this way. She won’t say too much on this forum,” she recalled on a November 2024 episode of “The Viall Files” podcast. “She also wrote me and said it was OK if I never wanted to respond and she knows my world is crazy right now and she never intentionally meant to cause me any pain.”

Blake Lively Breaks Silence on Justin Baldoni 'It Ends With Us' Footage

Blake Lively Says Unwanted Touching and Caressing in New Video Was Improvised by Justin Baldoni 938

Blake Lively‘s legal team has responded to the new It Ends With Us video footage released by Justin Baldoni’s attorney.

“Justin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning. Every frame of the released footage corroborates, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described in Paragraph 48 of her Complaint,” Lively’s legal team said in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, January 21. “The video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms. Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character.”

The statement continued: “Every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance and no intimacy coordinator present. Mr. Baldoni was not only Ms. Lively’s costar, but the director, the head of [the] studio and Ms. Lively’s boss.”

The message also noted that in the clip Lively, 37, was “leaning away and repeatedly asking for the characters to just talk.”

Justin Baldoni Lawyer Releases On-Set Video to Try to Disprove Blake Lively: Watch

“Any woman who has been inappropriately touched in the workplace will recognize Ms. Lively’s discomfort,” the statement concluded. “They will recognize her attempts at levity to try to deflect the unwanted touching. No woman should have to take defensive measures to avoid being touched by their employer without their consent.”

Lively’s legal team also slammed Baldoni, 40, — who also directed the film — and his legal time for releasing the video to the public rather than keeping it in court.

“This matter is in active litigation in federal court. Releasing this video to the media, rather than presenting it as evidence in court, is another example of an unethical attempt to manipulate the public,” the statement read. “It is also a continuation of their harassment and retaliatory campaign. While they are focused on misleading media narratives, we are focused on the legal process. We are continuing our efforts to require Mr. Baldoni and his associates to answer in court, under oath, rather than through manufactured media stunts.”

In response to the most recent statement and claims from Lively’s legal team regarding the footage, Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman told Us, “Prior to filing her lawsuit in court, Ms. Lively went to The New York Times in an effort to publicly destroy Justin Baldoni. When Mr. Baldoni exercises his right to publicly defend himself by putting forth actual facts and evidence, for Ms. Lively and team this instantly becomes morally and ethically wrong. Ms. Lively wants very different standards to apply to her but fortunately, truth and authenticity apply to everyone and can never be wrong. Looking at the video and the evidence to come, I can understand why Ms. Lively would now, not want this to play out in public.

The footage, which was obtained by Us earlier on Tuesday, features the costars romantically slow dancing and laughing in character for a montage with no dialogue during the film. The duo could, however, be heard exchanging ideas for the scene as they swayed back and forth.

“Ms. Lively’s complaint alleges that during a scene Mr. Baldoni and Ms. Lively were filming for a slow dance montage, Mr. Baldoni was behaving inappropriately,” a statement at the start of the video read. “The following videos captured on May 23, 2023, clearly refute Ms. Lively’s characterization of his behavior. The scene in question was designed to show the two characters falling in love and longing to be close to one another. Both actors are clearly behaving well within the scope of the scene and with mutual respect and professionalism. These are all three takes filmed of the sequence.”

Justin Baldoni Claims Blake Lively 'Kicked' Him Out of 'It Ends With Us'

In addition to releasing the video footage, Baldoni’s lawyer also shared plans to create a website that will include “relevant videos” and “correspondence” between Baldoni and Lively.

“Justin and team have the right to defend themselves with the truth,” Freedman’s statement read. “And this is what we will be continuing to show with the upcoming website containing all correspondence as well as relevant videos that directly quash her claims.”

Lively and Baldoni’s ongoing legal drama began last month when she filed a lawsuit against the director. In her filing, Lively claimed that Baldoni sexually harassed her and created a hostile work environment while on set of It Ends With Us.

Baldoni, for his part, has vehemently denied the allegations. He subsequently sued the New York Times for $250 million following the outlet’s reporting of Lively’s claims against him.

Justin Baldoni Never Wanted to 'Hurt' Blake Lively, Lawyer Says

Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios also filed a lawsuit last month directly against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Lively’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, seeking $400 million in damages. In the paperwork, Baldoni accused the group of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and more.

After news broke of Baldoni’s legal filing, Lively broke her silence with a statement via her legal team.

“This latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and its associates is another chapter in the abuser playbook. This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim. This is what experts call DARVO. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim Offender,” the message read. “Wayfarer has opted to use the resources of its billionaire co-founder to issue media statements, launch meritless lawsuits, and threaten litigation to overwhelm the public’s ability to understand that what they are doing is retaliation against sexual harassment allegations.”

‘Mob Wives’ Star Natalie DiDonato Reported Missing in Las Vegas

Mob Wives alum Natalie DiDonato has been reported missing in Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly on Tuesday, January 21, that a missing person report has been filed for the reality star. TMZ was the first to report the news.

According to the outlet, the TV personality missed two separate flights — including a January 5 plane ride home to Florida — sparking concern among DiDonato’s family members.

DiDonato’s mother, Denise Fuoco, last spoke to the South Florida resident on Tuesday, January 14, during a FaceTime call.

Mob Wives’ Drita D'Avanzo Reacts to Renee Graziano’s Overdose Revelation

Fuoco told TMZ the conversation was brief — DiDonato allegedly rushed to end the phone call without clarifying where she was.

After failing to get in contact with her daughter over the next few days, Fuoco contacted police.

According to Fuoco, the last update she received was from a friend of DiDonato’s named Ben, who alleged the Mob Wives star was in Las Vegas. Ben claimed the reality TV star asked for money in order to obtain a plane ticket to Florida.

Fuoco told TMZ Ben purchased a ticket for DiDonato, but she never made the flight to Florida.

Us Weekly has reached out to DiDonato’s team for additional comment.

In her last social media post before her reported disappearance, DiDonato reflected on her mindset as 2024 came to an end.

“Not bad for 44 🥰 I love me some me,” she wrote via Instagram in December 2024. “44 sitting on 24’s still. 😫😂😂😂 (it’s not my bday…I’m just feelin myself, dropped 10 lbs…hit that goal weight) 🎯💪 .”

In her post, DiDonato said she couldn’t “believe I made it this far.”

“Getting older is a blessing,” she added. “I’m embracing my age because to me it’s a badge of honor to have made it to 44.”

In another post, DiDonato documented her experience at a gun range. “If you stay ready…you never have to get ready,” she shared via Instagram in June 2024. “(It’s been awhile…not so bad for it’s being some time, practice makes perfect) #newtoys.”

Fans were first introduced to DiDonato when she appeared on season 5 of Mob Wives. VH1 described the cast member as a real estate agent and DJ manager who is a self-admitted “phenomenal cook.”

During the show, DiDonato feuded with Natalie Guercio after accusing her of being a “rat.” She also questioned Drita D’Avanzo’s integrity in a particularly memorable clip.

“I like her. I think she’s a cool chick,” she said in a confessional. “I just want to know what the f— is going on in her mind.”

 

‘The Price Is Right' Announcer George Gray Files for Divorce After 5 Years

Price Is Right Announcer George Gray Files for Divorce After 5 Years

The Price Is Right announcer George Gray and wife Brittney Green have called it quits after five years of marriage.

Gray, 57, filed for divorce on Tuesday, January 21, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. The pair were married more than five years before parting ways. They do not share any children. (TMZ was first to report the news.)

The former talk show host listed the pair’s date of separation as August 1, 2024, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.

Gray and Green — a high school math teacher — tied the knot in April 2019 at The Westin La Paloma Resort in Tucson, Arizona. Gray’s brother officiated the ceremony.

Failed Reality TV Romances Over the Years

A year into their marriage, Gray had a near-death experience when he suffered a heart attack in April 2020. “This was [like] tons of bricks hit me. Turns out I was 100 percent blocked on the right side of my heart,” Gray told Entertainment Tonight five months after his first surgery.

He was rushed to the hospital and underwent two emergency surgeries to clear the blocked arteries. While Gray was preparing for his necessary open-heart surgery, he suffered another heart attack.

“So I have stints and a quadruple bypass on top of that,” Gray recalled.

Although Gray was the one experiencing multiple surgeries, his spouse was equally worried about his life expectancy.

“After the second [heart attack] I thought he was gone in surgery,” Green told ET in 2020. “I was like, ‘Something could happen.’”

Five months later, Gray returned to work at The Price Is Right as an announcer, celebrating a decade on the game show team. Gray was a guest announcer in 2010 before becoming the full-time announcer in 2015 during season 44.

Gray also works as the announcer for The Price Is Right at Night. He previously hosted The Weakest Link, HGTV Showdown and Gimme My Reality Show!

While Green was by Gray’s side in his time of need, their marriage has seemingly dwindled. Gray last posted about his estranged wife on social media in April 2024.

At the time, he shared a video from The Price Is Right set and gave the band Grouplove a shout-out after attending one of their shows with Green earlier that month.

“My wife Brittney is a huuuge fan of @grouplove and we saw them at the historic @thewiltern in LA … Amazing!” he gushed via Instagram. “At a pre-concert VIP experience they took questions, and my wife asked ‘What’s your favorite game show?’ 😁.”

Gray proceeded to invite the band to The Price Is Right set since they revealed that the game show was at the top of their must-watch list. “You rock,” he concluded.

Green, meanwhile, has a private Instagram account. She still has a link to Gray’s heart attack and recovery story from ET linked in her bio.

IndyCar's Josef Newgarden Had No Idea Who 'RHOSLC' Cast Was During Cameo

Despite the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City fangirling at the sight of him, IndyCar driver Josef Newgarden was left stumped after making an appearance on the Bravo reality series. 

Newgarden, 34, made a cameo on a November 2024 episode of the show, in which Bronwyn Newport treated the cast to a trip to an IndyCar race in Thermal, California, outside Palm Springs. Upon Newgarden meeting the Housewives at the track, Newport called him “the handsomest” and cast member Lisa Barlow yelled, “Take your shirt off!”

The women even tried setting up Newgarden with single cast member Heather Gay, but were told Newgarden is married to his wife, Ashley Welch, and that the couple share 2-year-old son Kota

“I didn’t even know what was happening,” Newgarden admitted in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly “I’m serious, this is the way this stuff happens. We’re at the track, we’re at this race. Someone pops into our engineering office and they’re like, ‘Hey, there’s some people that are here, there’s some guests. Can you please come out and say hi?’”

Newgarden continued, “I came out and I said hi to everybody. They’re like, ‘They’re going to film you, so don’t worry about it.’ I’m like, ‘OK, no problem.’ And then you don’t hear anything about it for a couple months, right? And then I get all these texts when the show is on. I don’t know this show. I have not seen it.”

The driver had “no idea” his interaction with the Housewives would be featured on the show, but called them “super sweet.”

After the episode aired, Newgarden joked about the surprising demographic that responded the most to his Bravo debut. 

“You know what was funny? You get texts from husbands,” Newgarden said. “It’s all men. Every text message was from a guy and they were like, ‘I was watching with my wife,’ or, ‘My wife had it on TV and I noticed you were on there. That’s kinda cool.’ I got like 20 texts like that. I thought it was really funny.”

Outside of his newfound Housewives fame, Newgarden is also the face of IndyCar’s inaugural season on Fox, which officially kicks off on March 2. Newgarden is featured in a flashy commercial to promote the collaboration, which spotlights Newgarden’s chiseled jawline and features an appearance from Tom Brady

For Newgarden, being in such a place of prominence for IndyCar is not something he takes lightly. 

“I care about the growth of the sport, just being a competitor and loving IndyCar,” he said. “I want to see it reach the highest highs it can. I remember when I was younger, IndyCar used to be a household name in North America. It reached beyond just America. It was a global sport. I think it can get back to that point.”

Newgarden added, “I care deeply about its representation and the way it’s perceived. I think Fox is really going to capture the essence of what IndyCar is, the cool factor of it. Because it’s always been right there. It’s just a matter of exposure.”

Fox’s coverage of the 2025 IndyCar season starts with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Sunday, March 2. 

Justin Baldoni's Team to Launch Website of Exchanges With Blake Lively

21 January 2025 at 14:49
Justin Baldoni s Team to Launch Website With All Of His Correspondence with Blake Lively 929

Justin Baldoni’s team has plans to launch a website that will allegedly support the It Ends With Us director’s allegations against Blake Lively.

“Justin and team have the right to defend themselves with the truth,” Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, January 21. “And this is what we will be continuing to show with the upcoming website containing all correspondence as well as relevant videos that directly quash her claims.”

News of the forthcoming website comes shortly after Us obtained footage from the set of It Ends With Us from Freedman, who claims the videos disprove Lively’s allegations that his client acted “inappropriately” on the set of It Ends With Us.

The clip began with a statement that read, “Ms. Lively’s complaint alleges that during a scene Mr. Baldoni and Ms. Lively were filming for a slow dance montage, Mr. Baldoni was behaving inappropriately. The following videos captured on May 23, 2023, clearly refute Ms. Lively’s characterization of his behavior. The scene in question was designed to show the two characters falling in love and longing to be close to one another. Both actors are clearly behaving well within the scope of the scene and with mutual respect and professionalism. These are all three takes filmed of the sequence.”

Justin Baldoni's Lawyer Reacts to Blake Lively Statement: 'Heinous Pivot'

Following the on-screen explainer, Baldoni, 40, and Lively, 37, can be seen smiling and laughing as they filmed a dancing scene with no dialogue. At one point, Lively suggested that it would be “more romantic” if she and Baldoni were talking in the scene.

Baldoni and Lively’s ongoing drama and subsequent legal battles began last year, after rumors swirled of an on-set tension between the pair. Those same rumors hit a fever pitch after Lively and Baldoni did not promote the Colleen Hoover adaptation together.

In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing the director of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. Baldoni has denied the allegations.

The following month, Baldoni’s studio, Wayfarer, sought legal action against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and Lively’s publicist Leslie Sloan. In the filing, Baldoni, accuses the trio of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and more. The paperwork also included alleged text message exchanges between Lively and Baldoni as they collaborated on It Ends With Us. Baldoni is seeking $400 in alleged damages.

“This lawsuit is a legal action based on an overwhelming amount of untampered evidence detailing Blake Lively and her team’s duplicitous attempt to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies by disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media,” Baldoni’s lawyer said in a statement to Us on Thursday, January 16. “It is clear based on our own all out willingness to provide all complete text messages, emails, video footage and other documentary evidence that was shared between the parties in real time, that this is a battle she will not win and will certainly regret. Blake Lively was either severely misled by her team or intentionally and knowingly misrepresented the truth.”

Lively’s legal team later hit back with a response to Baldoni’s lawsuit.

“This latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its associates is another chapter in the abuser playbook. This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim,” Lively’s lawyers told Us in a statement on Thursday. “This is what experts call DARVO.

Every Clue That Bachelor Nation’s Kaitlyn Bristowe and Zac Clark Are Dating

21 January 2025 at 14:38
All the Clues About Kaitlyn Bristowe and Zac Clark Are Dating

While Kaitlyn Bristowe and Zac Clark have yet to confirm their relationship status, fans believe they’ve uncovered more than a few clues that prove the Bachelor Nation members are romantically involved.

Rumors began swirling in January 2024 of the pair’s alleged relationship after Bristowe was spotted with her arm around Clark while the pair celebrated New Year’s Eve together at her Nashville home.

After the clip surfaced, speculation that Bristowe called off her engagement with ex-fiancé Jason Tartick to pursue a relationship with Clark hit a fever pitch. (Bristowe and Tartick split in August 2023 after four years together, while Clark was previously engaged to former Bachelorette Tayshia Adams. The pair split in November 2021.)

Bristowe swiftly set the record straight — but did not deny there was anything romantic between her and Clark. “Here to say that there was never an ounce of cheating happening and I will not stand for this rumor,” she commented. “Y’all are NASTY in here. Anywho. Swear on my dogs’ lives. No cheating went on. So we can just put that to rest. Thank you!! Happy new year everyone. Go donate some blood or somethin!”

The headlines continued when Bristowe seemingly addressed her friendship fallout with Adams and while making a NSFW comment. While not naming Adams or Clark, Bristowe explained during an August 2024 appearance on the “U, Up?” podcast that she reached out to a woman after going on a date with her “Bachelor Nation” ex. The woman responded by saying, “I always knew you were a bad person and you’ve confirmed it. Your true colors are showing.” Bristowe recalled hanging up and thinking to herself, “Now, I just want to send her a picture of me sucking his d–k.”

Scroll down to see all the clues that Bristowe and Clark are dating:

Kaitlyn Bristowe Spotted Singing With Zac Clark at Charity Gala

New Year’s Eve PDA

While celebrating New Year’s Eve together in December 2023, Bristowe was seen putting her arm around Clark. Amid the speculation, Bristowe shared a cryptic quote that read, “The vibe for 2024 is messy authenticity over fake perfection.” She also denied claims she was unfaithful in her previous relationship.

Getting Cozy

Less than a month after their initial spotting, Bristowe and Clark enjoyed a night out in New York City, per BachelorNation.Scoop’s Instagram account. In the video, Bristowe and Clark held hands and danced. At the end of the clip, Bristowe wrapped her arms around Clark and pulled him in for an embrace.

Friends Weigh In

Blake Moynes, who appeared on Adams’ season of The Bachelorette, explained why he thinks Clark has played coy about his relationship status with Bristowe.

“Do I know they are hanging out and have [been]? Yes, but he does not give me the guts because when I have asked, he makes it awkward,” Moynes shared during a March 2024 appearance on the “Almost Famous” podcast. “He just doesn’t want to feed and play into that. He’s all business.”

Showing Support

Bristowe attended Clark’s May 2024 Release Foundation Gala to support his nonprofit, which helps those struggling with substance abuse. Bristowe and Clark were seen singing “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys.

Wedding Dates

Bristowe and Clark were spotted in June 2024 standing together on the edge of the dance floor at a wedding, per the Instagram account BachelorNation.Scoop. Neither Bristowe nor Clark shared details of the wedding.

Mystery Man

Amid speculation about their relationship, Bristowe hinted at her relationship with Clark during a July 2024 appearance on the “Let’s Be Honest” podcast. While discussing her romantic life, Bristowe did not confirm that Clark was her significant other.

Bristowe recalled her first date with her mystery man and said she was not feeling the nerves. “I would get nervous usually in situations like that. But, I was just like, ‘Oh, here we go.’ I’m going to know right off the bat if I like him or not. The conversations [are] either going to be good or terrible. I was going into it almost fed up,” Bristowe shared.

Bristowe gushed that there’s immediate “chemistry” between the twosome. However, Bristowe claimed that the pair “went through a blip” where she wondered, “What am I doing?” But after a period of time, Bristowe realized she “could do this.”

Bristowe said they are not going to “move to each other’s city anytime soon” and are continuing to get to “know each other.”

Did Kaitlyn Bristowe Hint at Her Romance With Zac Clark?

Potential Soft Launch

Bachelor Nation member and “Almost Famous” podcast cohost Ashley Iaconetti theorized that Bristowe’s August 2024 comments on the “U, Up?” podcast were a “soft launch” of her romance with Clark.

“I don’t think she would tell the story if they were not together,” Iaconetti said, before wondering, “Or is this kind of a slap and they’re not together?”

Iaconetti and former Bachelor and “Almost Famous” podcast cohost Ben Higgins ultimately concluded that they think Bristowe and Clark are currently together.

Cheering Team

Bristowe supported Clark while he ran the New York City Marathon in November 2024. After Clark shared an Instagram post explaining why he signed up for the race, Bristowe commented, “You are one bright ass light.”

Spending Holidays Together

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Bristowe and Clark appeared to celebrate the holidays together when they both uploaded a photo holding candles inside a church in December 2024.

Attending NFL Games

When Bristowe posted from a Philadelphia Eagles game in January 2025, fans were quick to point out that Clark was also in attendance. In Clark’s Instagram video, one user commented that they could “hear” Bristowe.

Taylor Swift’s Most Memorable Skirt Moments — and How Much They Cost

21 January 2025 at 14:05

Taylor Swift really does have that good girl faith and a tight little skirt.

Through the years, Swift has blessed Us with a number of fabulous skirt moments, from leather numbers to denim skorts and more. In March 2024, she looked seriously stylish in a pleated tan skort from Sandy Liang while enjoying a Malibu lunch date with boyfriend Travis Kelce.

Justin Baldoni and Wife Want to Unplug From 'Every Day Drama' in Hawaii

Justin Baldoni and his wife, Emily Baldoni, took some much-needed R&R amid his ongoing lawsuit and drama with Blake Lively.

“Justin and Emily’s trip with their kids and close friends has been planned for a while,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly adding that the couple “have always considered Maui a very happy place for them.”

Justin and Emily, both 40, were spotted on a family vacation with their children in Hawaii over the weekend. The director was photographed enjoying the beach as he played in the waves with his and Emily’s daughter Maiya, 9, and son Maxwell, 7.

While the getaway was planned long before the recent lawsuit Baldoni’s studio, Wayfarer, filed against Lively, 37, it seemingly came at a perfect time.

“Justin and Emily are looking forward to get away from the every day drama and to spend some time with their kids and friends,” the insider explains. “Justin has been working nonstop and wanted to reconnect with what’s important to him, his family and friends.”

On Thursday, January 16, Wayfarer filed a lawsuit for $400 million in damages against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Lively’s publicist, Leslie Sloane. The paperwork included accusations of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and other claims.

After news broke of the lawsuit, Justin’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, shared in a statement to Us, “This lawsuit is a legal action based on an overwhelming amount of untampered evidence detailing Blake Lively and her team’s duplicitous attempt to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies by disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media.”

The following day, Baldoni publicly spoke out while he and his family were at the Los Angeles International Airport.

“We’re grateful to be with the family, man,” Justin told photographers on Friday, January 17. “We have amazing friends and family and faith.”

Justin and Lively worked together on the film adaptation of It Ends With Us. Rumors swirled that there was tension between the pair on set as Justin and Lively did not interact during the movie’s press tour. In December 2024, Lively filed paperwork in accusing Justin of sexual harassment, creating a “hostile work environment” and causing her “severe emotional distress” while working together.

“I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,” Lively said in a statement to The New York Times at the time.

Justin vehemently denied the allegations. His legal team called Lively’s claims “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious.” Bryan Freedman alleged in a statement to Us Weekly that the actress filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” regarding the production of It Ends With Us.

Why Jonathan Lipnicki Stepped Away From Acting After Child Stardom

21 January 2025 at 13:54

Jonathan Lipnicki never lost the acting bug as he grew up in and out of the spotlight.

“Really, it was kind of just going to high school,” Lipnicki, 34, shared with E! News in an interview published Tuesday, January 21. “I wasn’t, like, ‘I’m stepping away.’ I still had my agent, I’d audition here and there.”

The actor was a child when he rose to fame in Stuart Little and Jerry Maguire in the ‘90s. Although he admits to not acting much in the late 2000s, it wasn’t because of a lack of effort.

“I auditioned for a lot and I just didn’t get things. I think that’s OK to say, right?” he shared. “Acting is this thing that I’ve always loved, and sometimes it just doesn’t love you back. There was a span where I didn’t work for a while and I was pursuing it.”

Stars Who Left Hollywood Behind: Cameron Diaz, Michael Schoeffling and More

Lipnicki said he continued participating in acting classes and tried his best to “be in tune with who” he was.

“There was just a portion where maybe I just wasn’t very good, and I’m OK saying that,” he explained in his latest interview. “Maybe it’s a me thing, and I’m more than willing to work on myself all the time and take accountability and control for what I can control.”

Later this month, Lipnicki will appear on the small screen playing a fictionalized, over-the-top version of himself on The Joe Schmo Show.

Hosted by Cat Deeley, the show features a new cast of improv characters who help play out a fake reality competition scenario centered around an everyday guy.

Win or lose, Lipnicki said he’s always finding the positive in an industry that isn’t always predictable.

“I got to find out from a young age what I wanted to spend the rest of my life pursuing, so I can never be mad at it,” he shared more than 25 years after playing Renée Zellweger‘s son in Jerry Maguire. “I’m always grateful for it. I am living more in the present now and really trying to focus on who I am now and what that’s going to look like in the future. But I’m extremely grateful for my past.”

Former Nickelodeon Stars' Candid Quotes About Working at the Network

He’s also focused on being the “best person” he can be as he follows his heart and continues his acting journey.

“I’ve been through it — the ups and the downs — and consistently throughout it, it’s the thing I love doing with my life,” he shared. “I know the best is yet to come with me.”

The Joe Schmo Show premieres on TBS Tuesday, January 21, at 9 p.m. ET.

Joey King and Steven Piet are the picture of that “corny” couple, and they own it.

King, 25, took to Instagram on Monday, January 20, to show off her matching outfit with Piet, 40. In the snap, the pair both rocked cream-colored crewnecks from Pupsentials, featuring their two rescue fur babies’ faces on them: Fable and Jesse.

In the photo, the duo wrapped their arms around each other while Piet held up a peace sign and beamed for the camera. He teamed his sweatshirt with brown pants, while King opted for gray sweatpants.

“On the surface, we may seem like a couple who is a little corny and sometimes wears matching outfits… but deep down, we are literally exactly that,” King captioned the post.

Joey King and Steven Piet Are Married After 4 Years of Dating

Fans were quick to gush over the lovebirds’ adorable his-and-hers style moment in the comments section. “Couples that corny-outfit together stick together! Really, you’re both cute here. This picture made me feel cheerful,” one wrote. A second follower added, “And that’s exactly what makes you two couple goals!! 😍😍,” while the official Pupsentials account even commented: “We are obsessed ❤.”

While some fans were focused on King’s custom crewneck, others shared their thoughts on the actress’ bleached eyebrows, which she debuted earlier this month.

“What happened to your beautiful eyebrows??” one social media user questioned, while another noted, “Miss your eyebrows 🥰.”

King first showed off her platinum arches on January 5, while sipping on a martini on a rooftop. Celebrity friends, including Sabrina Carpenter and Noah Cyrus — the latter who also has bleached brows — complimented the actress’ latest transformation, gushing that she looked so “good.”

The actress later joked about her ethereal look via TikTok, admitting that her strands looked like the “Lorax’s mustache” from Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax.”

“I kind of love it,” she said. “But then I saw my mom like two days ago and she was like, ‘I just can’t look at you. You look so weird.’” King then explained, “Guys, I know I look weird. That’s the point!”

John Boyd Says Scola's a ‘Different Person’ After ‘FBI’ Midseason Premiere

21 January 2025 at 13:28
John Boyd Says Scola s a Different Person After FBI Midseason Premiere About 9 11 Brother s Death

FBI’s Stuart Scola has been carrying the weight of his brother’s death with him for years — and actor John Boyd says things will finally come to a head in the midseason premiere.

“We get to see Scola’s 9/11 origin story with his brother sort of come full circle,” Boyd, who plays Scola on the CBS series, exclusively told Us Weekly while previewing the Tuesday, January 28, episode.

The 43-year-old actor explained: “There’s a huge resolution to the loss of his brother, and it intertwines with a case where we’re trying to thwart terrorists that have hijacked planes’ navigation systems in air [on] commercial airliners.”

The episode, titled “Descent,” will hit home for Scola, who lost his brother, Doug, during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City.

‘FBI’ Season 7 Brings a Casting Change, Showrunner Switch: What to Know

“It’s really an interesting case and very, very intense for Scola, of course, because of his history,” Boyd added.

Fans previously learned about Scola’s brother during season 4, episode 8, which aired in 2021. “Fire and Rain” saw Scola start to spiral when his team was faced with stopping a terrorist attack that felt like the acts of 9/11 in which al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked several planes, crashing two into the Twin Towers.

Scola also revealed in the episode that his brother was a casualty of the attacks and part of the reason he left Wall Street and started working for the FBI.

Now in season 7, Scola will once again be forced to relive one of the worst days of his life when a terrorist group from Bolivia hijacks commercial planes — one of which is headed into a no-fly zone and therefore as risk of being shot down by the U.S. military with innocents on board.

“I think what’s going through his mind during the case is he’s not really able to stop and question it and process it,” Boyd told Us. “I think he’s in a place of fight or flight. He’s doing what he can do to get through it.”

While tension is high for everyone on the team, Boyd said Scola has several revelations as he tries to stop a possible mass-casualty event from happening again.

Katherine Renee Kane Is Exiting ‘FBI’ as Tiffany Wallace During Season 7

“I think there’s a moment where he’s staring into the eyes of the person — of the terrorist — and he sees that they’re the same,” the actor explained to Us. “That they both have the same pain, that they carry the same loss. That’s the thing that … makes him ready at the end of it [for closure].”

Boyd said that Scola’s intensity over the case is “worth it in the end,” teasing that viewers will see how exactly he gets closure in the final few moments.

“The thing I love about this episode is by the end of the case, Scola is a different person,” Boyd shared. “He’s ready to do something that he wasn’t. He has a new outlook. He has a new perspective.”

That new outlook is linked to his brother’s death and Scola’s new support system which includes partner Nina Chase (Shantel VanSanten), who wasn’t in his life when Doug died.

While Scola is ready to move forward after the midseason premiere there is one thing he’s missing: a new partner.

FBI's Katherine Renee Kane Wants Scola and Nina to Be Next Franchise Wedding

“It’s been interesting to kind of have this phase of being partner-less and getting to rediscover himself as an agent a little bit,” Boyd shared with Us, noting that Scola partners up with agents Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) and Omar Adom “OA” Zidan (Zeeko Zaki) during the January 28 episode after his interim partner Sydney Ortiz (Lisette Olivera) gets recruited to another position.

He revealed that “anything’s possible” when it comes to when he’ll get a more permanent partner after Tiffany “Tiff” Wallace (Katherine Renee Kane) left the job during the season 7 premiere in October 2024.

“We could have a little more speed dating,” Boyd said with a laugh. “Someone could drop in. It could be a Cinderella slipper situation. I don’t know. Anything can happen.”

FBI returns to CBS on Tuesday, January 28, at 8 p.m. ET.

Emily Ratajkowski is bringing the heat — literally — with multiple red-hot looks in a mere 72 hours.

Over the holiday weekend, the author of My Body jetted off to Mexico, joined by her close friend and comedian Ziwe Fumudoh, for the getaway. Ratajkowski, 33, had no shortage of chile-hued clothing in her suitcase. Throughout the trip, she turned up wearing her signature shade in sizzling new ways that were equal parts vacation-ready and Valentine’s Day-coded.

Kicking things off with a girls’ night out, Ratajkowski turned heads in a curve-skimming scarlet slip dress with a plunging neckline cut down to there. She kept her accessories to a minimum, ideal for keeping the focus on the scene-stealing wardrobe, save for a red leather drawstring bag, a gleaming gold necklace and pointed-toe strappy stilettos in the same metallic finish.

The next morning, Ratajkowski soaked up the sun in a string bikini that left (very) little to the imagination. She gave her halter bikini top a DIY-micro treatment by ruching it tightly for minimal coverage, maximum cleavage. She doubled down with a coordinating cheeky thong in the same cherry-red hue. The model emphasized her curves by wearing the booty-baring bottoms with the straps pulled high on the hips, lending them an ’80s aesthetic that’s right on trend right now.

“Lotsa red this weekend,” Ratajkowski captioned a photo carousel she shared via Instagram on Monday, January 20. Elsewhere in her social media post, she maintained the visual theme throughout her beauty from head to toe, as with a striking red pout and a pedicure to match.

Stars Who Have Sizzled in Itty-Bitty Lingerie: Kim Kardashian, More

Come Tuesday, January 21, she was back at it again — or rather, back at work. The Intimissimi brand ambassador (announced last November) shared images of herself via social media in the new Valentine’s Day campaign, posing in the Italian label’s red lingerie while posing on top of a large white bed.

The sartorial star of the collection is the Emma Triangle Bra, which features satin-covered straps, wireless cups spun from soft stretch lace and is stitched with the phrase “More Amore” in tonal red embroidery. Other romantic flourishes included a heart-shaped charm at the bust and dainty scalloped trimming, details that also turned up on a pair of skivvies the same vibrant shade.

Similar to the retro bottoms from the model’s Mexican retreat, her red Intimissimi panties riffed off the throwback era, only the specific design inspiration came right out of Rio: see the More Amore ’80s Style Brazilian thong with low-rise straps and the same less-is-more look and feel.

Whether you’re looking to spice things up on vacay or V-Day, Ratajkowski has you covered.

The new Intimissimi Valentine’s Day collection of “Emily’s Picks” is available to shop now on intimissimi.com.

Meredith Gaudreau spent her first birthday since the death of her husband, Johnny, surrounded by her children and loved ones. 

The birthday celebration happened on Monday, January 20, nearly five months after Johnny, 31, and his brother, Matthew, 29, were killed by a drunk driver while riding their bicycles in Oldmans Township, New Jersey in August 2024. 

In a photo shared via Instagram by her sister, Lily, Meredith was seen blowing out birthday candles while holding her daughter, Noa, 2 months, and son, Johnny, 22 months. 

“Happy birthday Dith!!” Lily wrote, as Noa and Johnny looked on wide-eyed.

In another photo shared by Lily, which was reposted by Meredith, she and Johnny were seen fast asleep on the floor. 

“Birthday naps,” Lily wrote. 

Meredith was also on the receiving end of birthday messages from some of her best friends, including some famous hockey WAGs. 

Claudia Mangiapane, the wife of Calgary Flames star Andrew Mangiapane, shared a picture from her wedding day standing alongside Meredith. Andrew and Johnny played together for four years in Calgary.

“Happy birthday to the person who knows me better than I know myself and who’s been there through every high and every low (and every dinner table high-low),” Claudia shared via her Instagram Story. “I’m forever grateful for you, for John, and for the kids. Our chosen family. Even luckier to call you my best friend. Sister actually.”

Claudia continued, “Here’s to a lifetime of laughs and tears together. Love you more than words can even say.”

Ryen Hendricks, the girlfriend of Boston Bruins defenseman Ryan Peeke, called Meredith “the most beautiful woman inside and out” in a birthday message posted via her Instagram Story.

Why the Gaudreau Brothers’ Heartbreaking Tragedy Captured Everyone's Attention

At a memorial service for Johnny and Matthew in September 2024, Meredith revealed she was nine weeks pregnant with her and Johnny’s third baby.

In October 2024, Meredith celebrated her daughter Noa’s 2nd birthday with help of the Columbus Blue Jackets family, the team Johnny was playing for at the time of his death. More than a dozen players as well as their wives and girlfriends attended Noa’s party, which came exactly two months after Johnny’s death. 

“We love you all,” Meredith wrote via Instagram alongside a picture from the party. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💙really special group that will forever be family to me and my babies.”

The party was also attended by Johnny’s sisters, Katie and Kristen, and Matthew’s wife, Madeline. In December 2024, Madeline gave birth to the couple’s first baby, a boy named Tripp

Ilona Maher isn’t letting a broken nose stop her from bringing her bikini A-game.

Maher, 28, showed off her figure via Instagram on Tuesday, January 21, while baking in a sauna. For her steamy impromptu photoshoot, Maher rocked a highlighter-bright yellow bikini featuring a triangle halter top equipped with subtle stripes. The Olympian paired the top with matching bottoms that tied into bows at her hips.

The season 33 Dancing With the Stars competitor accessorized with layered gold necklaces little else.

Maher leaned against the bench of the sauna while gazing into the camera. She pushed her brunette strands to one side of her head and donned a knowing smile.

“Sweating it out,” Maher captioned the thirst trap, prompting fans to swoon in the comments section. “Ma’am the internet can’t handle this level of traffic,” one follower wrote, as another added, “You look SO good.” A third fan gushed, “Mommy 🥵.”

Maher’s sultry snap comes days after she shared that she broke her nose during a match. On Saturday, January 18, she posted a selfie of her bloody nose and stained jersey while holding a thumbs up.
