Kyle, 56, recently described Garcelle as an “a–hole” on the RHOBH After Show after Garcelle, 58, appeared to encourage her to come out as a lesbian during a pep talk on the Tuesday, January 14, episode of the Bravo reality show. (Kyle’s friendship with singer Morgan Wade has been a hot topic of speculation over the past two seasons.)
During a group visit to Chuck E. Cheese with Kyle, Erika Jayne, 53, and Sutton Stracke, also 53, on last week’s episode, Garcelle told Kyle, “Be whoever you want to be. If you want to be a lesbian, be a lesbian,” while offering Kyle advice amid her separation from husband Mauricio Umansky.
Speaking to TMZ on Tuesday, January 21, Garcelle said she was surprised by Kyle’s strong reaction because “I wasn’t saying it to be malicious,” adding that her remark wasn’t necessarily to prompt discussion about Kyle’s sexuality but “more about, we’re powerful women, we can be whatever we want to be.”
“It wasn’t a dig. It was to inspire her to do whatever she wants to do,” the Black Girl Missing actress continued.
Garcelle added of Kyle’s reaction, “It’s so funny because we laughed about it afterward, so for her to say that was pretty shady.”

For her part, Kyle said she was thrown by Garcelle’s choice of words. “What was really going through my head was, ‘You’re being an a–hole right now.’ Don’t try to act like oopsie-daisies. You know exactly what you’re doing,” Kyle told Erika on the RHOBH After Show.
“I was thinking, ‘If you’re thinking you’re going to get a reaction from me, or I’m going to be offended, I’m not,’” Kyle added. “It’s nothing I haven’t seen in tabloids and things.”
Garcelle also addressed her remarks during the After Show while talking to Sutton and Jennifer Tilly, reiterating that she was trying to encourage Kyle to live her life without worrying about other people’s opinions. “We’re allowed to be who we are at this age,” she said. “You don’t have to worry so much about what other people think of us.”
On the After Show, Kyle also claimed that Garcelle didn’t apologize for the remark. “She just said, ‘I can’t believe I said that,’” Kyle told Erika. “I was just like, ‘Yeah.’”
Christina Haack is removing a second tattoo from her body amid her ongoing divorce from estranged husband, Josh Hall.
Haack, 41, took to social media on Tuesday, January 21, to share an Instagram Story of a wrist tattoo being surgically lasered, captioning the footage, “4th times a charm (when it comes to tattoo removal) Burns so good.”
The HGTV personality also tagged Newport Beach, California-based plastic surgeon Jonathan Zelken MD in the post, just as she did in August 2024 when she revealed via an Instagram Story that she was removing a ring tattoo from her ring finger.
The more recent wrist tattoo post, which revealed what appeared to be an inked infinity symbol, was accompanied by the track “Feather” by Sabrina Carpenter — a song about cutting ties with a former partner.
Haack and Hall, 44, were married for less than three years before each filing for divorce in July 2024. Haack said during the January 9 episode of SiriusXM Radio Andy’s Jeff Lewis Live that the pair’s divorce battle is far from over. “[We’re] not even close,” Haack confirmed. “We’re going to be going to trial, I hear.”
Despite the ongoing proceedings, which have disputed spousal support and attorney fees among other issues, Haack has reportedly moved on romantically with Christopher LaRocca, the CEO of Network Connex in Orange County, California.

A source told Us Weekly that Haack recently travelled to Reims, France, to embark on a new champagne business venture. She was photographed with LaRocca at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday, January 14.
As for Hall, he went Instagram official with girlfriend Stephanie Gabrys via Instagram Stories on Monday, January 13. Hall’s post included a photo of himself with Gabrys sitting on his lap near a fire pit as a Christmas tree stood in the background.
Although Haack and Hall are yet to reach a resolution, Haack has appeared to maintain healthy relationships with several of her exes.
Haack will appear alongside her former husbandTarek El Moussa, with whom she shares two children, Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9, in the upcoming HGTV series, The Flip Off. Tarek’s wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, will also feature in the show.
Haack also revealed exclusively to Us that her relationship with ex-husband Ant Anstead, with whom she shares son, Hudson, 5, also improved after parting ways with Hall. “When Josh and I split up, I hadn’t really talked to Ant in years,” Haack told Us earlier this month. “The whole time I was with Josh, I would worry [thinking about how] Hudson’s sports [games] are coming up, we’re going to have to be on the field together, how’s Josh going to handle it?”
Comedian Ron Funches found a friend in Travis Kelce last year — and now he’s sharing insight into his pal’s endearing personality.
Funches, 41, posted a clip from his December 1, 2024 gig at Kansas City’s Comedy Club via Instagram on Sunday, January 19, revealing he’s a major fan of Kelce, 35. The pair first clicked when Funches appeared as a guest star on Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, hosted by Kelce, in October last year.
“I started doing this game show … and it’s hosted by Travis Kelce,” Funches was seen telling the crowd in the video. “We started to become friendly, you know? And then he knew I was coming out to do shows for Thanksgiving week and he hit me up on Instagram and he was just like, ‘Hey man, are you coming to my city, let me know if you need anything.’”
Labelling the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end “a golden retriever of a human being,” Funches explained how Kelce invited him to attend an NFL game while he was in town.
Funches explained, “He’s a f—ing good guy. He’s a good dude and not only did he get us tickets [but] an hour and a half before the game, I get another little ding on my phone. He was just like, ‘Hey man, I’m getting ready to go into game mode, I’m gonna turn my phone off but before I do, I just want to make sure you got in OK.’”
Kelce’s check-in impressed Funches to no end. “You Prince Charming mother f—er. He is amazing, he is a golden retriever of a human being. It’s probably why he’s so good at football. He just, like, sees the ball and, ‘I gotta go get it.’”
Funches briefly touched on the analogy during an interview with Us Weekly in October 2024, in which he discussed his Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? appearance and said, “[Kelce] brings his traditional golden retriever energy of a man who’s super attractive yet down to earth. He is a pretty amazing gentleman.”
The comedy gig also saw Funches make a crack about Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift, 35, whom he began dating in summer 2023. “I think he’s too good for her,” Funches joked in the clip, which drew loud laughter from his audience.
Funches’ praise for Kelce extended to his post’s caption, which read, “The rumors are true…@killatrav is a good dude.”

The Instagram clip came on the back of yet another public recollection that reiterated Kelce’s legendary status. According to former Chiefs running back Charcandrick West, who played for the Chiefs from 2014 to 2018, Kelce once faked being late to a Chiefs’ hotel so West, 33, wouldn’t get fined.
During an interview with ESPN that was published on Tuesday, January 21, West said he had been stuck in traffic one evening when he spoke to Kelce on the phone and told him he was going to miss the team’s evening curfew.
When West made it to the hotel, Kelce was standing outside waiting for him, as he didn’t want West to, “be the only one to get into trouble for being late.”
Hailey Bieber appears to be unconcerned by the controversy surrounding husband Justin Bieber unfollowing her on social media.
Hailey, 28, took to Instagram on Tuesday, January 21, to share a carousel of images that included one snap of Justin, 30, seemingly sleeping while seated at a restaurant.
Captioning the carousel with two emojis — the slice of cheese and wide grin smiley — Hailey’s post arrived after Justin shared a selfie via Instagram Stories set to the song, “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe,” by Kendrick Lamar, earlier that day.
The couple’s posts followed Justin denying that he unfollowed Hailey via Instagram one day prior. (Us Weekly confirmed on Tuesday morning that Justin was not following his wife on the social media platform after fans initially picked up on the shock move.)
Justin wrote via Instagram Stories early on Tuesday, “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. S— is getting suss out here.”
The controversy was a surprise to many as Justin had shared a sweet social media tribute to Hailey just hours prior to his unfollow. “The greatest woman I have and will ever know,” Justin captioned a series of Instagram photos on Monday, from what appeared to be taken during a winter getaway.
Justin and Hailey started dating in 2015 before calling it quits one year later. After their split, Justin briefly rekindled his on-off romance with Selena Gomez, but the pair broke up for good in 2018. Months later, Justin and Hailey reconnected, getting engaged and exchanging vows in a New York City courthouse in September of that year, before hosting a second wedding one year later.
Despite the social media drama, the pair have been enjoying their winter. Justin posted several sweet images from the couple’s latest vacation on Tuesday, including one romantic black-and-white photo that captured him and Hailey sitting across from each other at a table and smiling at one another. A second image showed them dressed in winter gear as they presumably prepared to hit the slopes together.
The twosome have also been busy raising their little one. Earlier this month, a source exclusively told Us that Justin and Hailey’s relationship has completely changed since Jack’s arrival in the world. “There has been a total shift in their marriage since renewing their vows [in May 2024] and welcoming baby Jack,” the insider shared. “He’s truly brought them so much happiness and a renewed bond.”
During the Monday, January 20, episode of her podcast, “Are You a Charlotte?” Davis, 59, revealed that she once loaned an “out-of-work” actor $5,000 before he hastily ghosted her.
Davis, who portrayed Charlotte York on the hit HBO series Sex and the City before reprising the role for the 2021 reboot, told podcast guest Sarah Wynter — who appeared in the SATC pilot — that the man’s response to her generous gesture shocked her.
She detailed how the man was an “out-of-work actor” she’d been seeing before starting on SATC, who is now “very successful.” Davis had lent him “all of $5,000,” after spotting notices around his home that threatened to switch off his electricity. She’d also learned he had “wrecked his motorcycle” so he was unable to attend auditions.
“He was very talented, but, at the time, I had money because I’d been working,” Davis explained. “It changed the dynamic in a horrible way … but I probably should have known better. So I lent him this money and then, you know, he stops calling. So I’m like, ‘What the heck?'”
Davis added that she confronted the man — which didn’t exactly help her situation.
“I remember going over to his apartment and banging on the door,” Davis said on the podcast. “And his dog was in there, and I loved his dog, and I could hear his dog. But I was like, ‘Is he in there and pretending that he is not in there?'”
While Davis wasn’t greeted at the door, she later received a phone call from the man, who asked her if she had been the person banging on his door.
“I was like, ‘Well, yes,'” Davis said. “I felt so embarrassed, like I was being messy. I just would love some acknowledgment or whatever, which is kind of a fantasy.”
While she didn’t reveal the identity of the man, Davis did offer some details into what he could be up to these days. “He lives out in the country with some children, so I don’t think I want to show up there,” she quipped.
Reflecting on the ordeal further, Davis labelled her decision as a “horrible mistake” before urging her listeners to avoid repeating her actions. “Do not do it,” Davis said. “It doesn’t end well.”
Davis’ Charlotte has famously experienced her own fair share of eventful dating scenarios throughout six seasons of SATC, before it evolved into two seasons of AJLT. (The third season of AJLT is expected to premiere later this year after it was renewed in August 2023, and Charlotte remains married to Harry Goldenblatt, played by Evan Handler.)
In real-life, Davis is single and a mother to two adopted children: daughter, Gemma Rose, whom she adopted in 2011, and son, Wilson, whom she adopted in 2018.
“I’m gonna say something and then I’m leaving. I don’t know how this all went so wrong,” Kyle, 56, told her RHOBH castmates during the Tuesday, January 21 episode. “I can’t do this anymore. I really can’t. I’m trying to be in a good place in my life. I want to say one thing and then I am leaving.”
Kyle’s meltdown happened when newcomer Bozoma Saint Johnhosted the women at her house for a wellness party. Questions about Kyle texting Dorit Kemsley’s estranged husband, PK Kemsley, came up again.
“I’m f—ing leaving. Please, OK. I love you and PK and your kids and you know that. I know that you know that,” Kyle said to Dorit directly. “I’ve been made to feel like I did something wrong — sending a text to PK. So, I said I’m gonna read this once and that is it.”
Kyle claimed that the message was made to seem like “maybe it was something weird.”
“I know you have a lot of friends but I am also one and here if you need me. I’ve never repeated anything you have ever shared with me and never would. (Meaning you can trust me always),” the message read. “Will keep sending memes and won’t forget laughing emojis.”
Kyle read it again during Tuesday’s episode — and this time Dorit heard the message.
“I don’t mean about regarding you,” she said, gesturing to Dorit. “I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about this, OK, which I can’t say because we’re filming and production.”
Bravo
Kyle continued to raise her voice, adding, “That is all I f—ing said. Now I am done. I’m not going to be made to feel like I’ve done something wrong,” Kyle said through tears in the clip, before speaking to Dorit directly. “I’ve loved you and your family. F— everybody, I’m done with this s—. I’m not doing this anymore.”
Garcelle Beauvais made it clear that she did not believe Kyle.
“I don’t get what her talking to PK has to do with production,” she said in a confessional. “If you’re having a private conversation with someone, and you want to say, ‘I will never share what we talked about.’ … You would write with production. And she didn’t do that.”
The fourth wall was broken various times throughout the episode. Not only did the two RHOBH stars reference production directly, but cameramen were seen while Kyle was storming out of Bozoma’s house. (Kyle previously addressed walking off set during an interview with Us Weekly published in November 2024.)
“Everybody has bigger f—ing problems and yet this is all they can f—ing focus on,” Kyle said through tears. “I mean, literally, look at all of us. Our age and what we’re doing? To be confronted like this every day about this stupidity. Everybody, honestly, should be ashamed of themselves. Seriously.”
Eventually, Dorit and Kyle sat down for a one-on-one chat.
“When you write things like, ‘You know I’d never share anything.’ That doesn’t feel right,” Dorit said. “You would never say it on camera.”
Kyle, once again, stated that she wasn’t referring to anything said about Dorit. She doubled down on this in her confessional, but Dorit had other feelings.
Elsewhere in the episode, Dorit went for a spa treatment with Erika Jayne where they discussed what went down.
“I know what the text says, I know what the text means. I know what Kyle is trying to suggest that it means, but I think that’s very much a cop-out,” Dorit claimed. “When she said, ‘I will never repeat what we talk about. Or I never repeat what we talk about.’ That is, plain and simple, about me. Not about anything else.”
Erika did not agree with Dorit’s take on the situation.
“It’s presumed that it’s you, but you don’t know for sure,” Erika stated. “I’m not going to jump to assumptions.”

Despite their romance ending more than two years ago, Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole remains a fan of his work.
Nicole, 33, who was in an on-and-off relationship with Kelce, 35, for five years, shared praise for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end during the Tuesday, January 21, episode of the “I Am Athlete Daily” podcast, hosted by Nicole and former NFL players Brandon Marshall and Josh Bellamy.
Discussing Kansas City’s upcoming AFC Championship matchup, to be played on Sunday, January 26, against the Buffalo Bills, Nicole gushed over the Chiefs’ offense: “They have guys they can throw the ball to who aren’t going to drop the ball in the end zone,” Nicole said before specifically discussing her ex. “Travis Kelce — that’s a tight end that’s not gonna [drop the ball].”
During the time, Nicole befriended Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes, who was the topic of further conversation on Nicole’s podcast. Nicole labelled the quarterback a “seasoned vet” in the NFL and said he “studies the game like nobody else.”
Nicole’s insight led her cohosts to cheekily ask how she knew so much about the Chiefs’ game, to which Nicole remarked, “I know somebody on the inside.”

As the Chiefs and Bills battle it out for a spot in the forthcoming Super Bowl, to take place on Sunday, February 9, Nicole added that the Chiefs remain a team to be reckoned with. “They’ve got the threats, so, as much as I’d love to see somebody else in the Super Bowl, just to see something new, it’s not gonna happen,” she said.
Nicole’s recent appearance on Special Forces, which premiered on January 7, may provide further insight into her former relationship with Kelce. During episode two, Nicole informed costars Alana Blanchard and Kyla Pratt that she is a former girlfriend of the athlete. Nicole added during the chat, “He’s dating Taylor Swift … I just get a lot of s— online because he’s dating such a mega superstar.”
Nicole also spoke about the relationship during the episode’s confessional. “Going through a public breakup, just to be frank, is overwhelming,” she told the cameras. “I’ve never experienced anything like it. Being reduced to a headline —to something so small as someone’s ex-girlfriend — I feel like if I complete this, it will be [sic] a massive impact for myself.”
Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis had a roller-coaster journey during and after their time on Love Is Blind.
Ashley and Tyler connected sight unseen during Love Is Blind season 7, which was filmed in Washington D.C. in October 2023 and premiered on Netflix one year later. Tyler proposed without seeing Ashley’s face, and they wed within two months of the experiment.
“She made me feel safe. A lot of men look for safety and at that point when I first met her, she made me feel extremely safe,” Tyler exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2024. “It was like a warm soul coming through the wall, and I just knew that that was my person.”
Keep scrolling for Tyler and Ashley’s full relationship timeline:
While Tyler went into the Love Is Blind pods without expectations, he couldn’t deny an instantaneous pull toward Ashley.
“I like when you say my name,” he gushed in the first episode. “Your voice is very attractive.”
The pair quickly bonded over horseback riding, a desire to check “skydiving” off their respective bucket lists and the importance of both family and religion.
“I love that you’re consistent,” Ashley told the nuclear security officer. “You felt sincere right away. You didn’t show up as anyone else, you just showed up, like, ‘Hey, I’m sorry, I’m f—ing nervous. This is who I am.’”
She Said Yes!
Netflix
After Ashley surprised Tyler with an epic balloon display for his birthday, he proposed in the pods.
“You are the most beautiful person on the inside that I’ve ever met. You make me happy like a little kid,” Tyler told Ashley through the wall while on one knee. “I’m toting your blanket around [the living quarters]. This has been the happiest time of my life. You have made me feel safe like I’ve never felt before in my life. You’re such a graceful person, who deserves love as well. God-fearing, I can’t wait to pray with you. I can’t wait to hold your hand [and] I can’t wait to look at you.”
After declaring his love, Tyler asked if Ashley would become his wife.
“I would be honored to marry you, Tyler,” the marketing director replied. “This is f—ing crazy … but so good at the same time.”
Tyler and Ashley met for the first time in the reveal tunnel, where she received her diamond engagement ring — the pair couldn’t stop cuddling.
The duo built on their emotional connection while also exploring a physical one when they traded the pods for a tropical getaway in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
“I’m glad I got to meet you at this point in your life,” Tyler quipped during a pasta-making date. “God’s plan. Great time to meet me. Whew, you would’ve hated me, like, ‘You’re cute, wanna go on a date?’ Just prepare, there’ll be people like, ‘He is not that nice.’ I wasn’t nice to y’all. You didn’t give me a reason to be nice.”
After the trip, Tyler and Ashley moved into an apartment together back in D.C.
Their relationship, however, was tested after Tyler suddenly dropped a major revelation — he had fathered multiple children. According to the military veteran, he donated sperm to a friend who couldn’t have biological children.
Ashley felt betrayed that Tyler never told her the truth up until that point.
“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,’” Ashley said. “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?”
She added, “That’s, like, what? Three extra kids? That’s wild. Like, who are these people? I just feel like I should know that. But I have nothing. You have shown me nothing. Like, ‘Here are the documents that show I’m not involved.’ I need to know, like, everything.”
Tyler also didn’t ask Ashley for “forgiveness,” but rather a chance to move forward.
They Do!

Despite the omission, Ashley wasn’t willing to walk away from their relationship and said “I do” on their wedding day. Her shoes even teased the decision, featuring “I” and “Do” on each sole. Tyler also said yes at the altar.
“I’m so excited. I feel like all the nerves that I felt are now just gone,” Ashley said in a confessional after the ceremony. “I can’t stop smiling; my cheeks hurt.”
The season 7 reunion which aired on October 30, 2024, revealed the pair are still married. “This is till death to us part,” Tyler said of the duo’s romance.
October 2024
After the reunion aired, Tyler penned a thoughtful letter to his bride.
“From the moment I heard your voice, I knew there was something special about you. We took a leap of faith together, and every day since has shown me how lucky I am to have you in my life,” he wrote via Instagram. “You bring so much joy, love, and laughter into my world, and I’m constantly amazed by your strength, kindness, and the warmth you share with everyone around you.”
Tyler added, “Looking back, it’s wild to think that we started our story without ever seeing each other’s faces—just words, feelings, and faith. Yet, that experience taught me what truly matters, your heart, your wisdom, and the way you make me feel fully seen and loved. I’m so grateful for the journey that brought us here. Thank you for choosing me, every day, just as I choose you. Here’s to many more adventures, laughs, and quiet moments together.”
Ashley reshared Tyler’s note to her Instagram Story before writing her own tribute.
“I just remember my wedding day being the best day! Not in a corny way,” Ashley wrote. “Like, I mean it was a smooth 68 degrees, sun shining down on us, decor was stunning and everything running seamlessly. There wasn’t a person who didn’t come up to us and say, ‘Man I didn’t know if this was real or for TV but this is one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to, I feel the love!’ I think even now some people think this was for play. No, darling, this is our real lives, our real human hearts, our real marriage!”
January 2025
Ashley announced that she and Tyler called it quits 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,” she said in a statement to People. “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.”
The reality star added that while the decision to split wasn’t easy, it was “necessary.”
“While this chapter is ending, I will always hold respect for the time and love we shared,” Ashley continued. “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.”
Naomi Watts was three, nay, four times a lady, as demonstrated with multiple wardrobe quick-changes while out and about in New York City to promote her book, Dare I Say: Everything I Wish I Knew About Menopause, when it was released on Tuesday, January 21.
Styled by Jeanann Williams, Watts, 56, dressed the part by championing a sense of powerful femininity with her fashion.
While appearing on NBC’s Today, the actress wore a bouclé tweed collared dress from Emilia Wickstead’s Resort 2025 collection which, as the designer told Vogue Runway in November 2024, was inspired by memories of her mother’s wardrobe, but with more contemporary shapes.

Watts leaned into this idea with Loewe slingback Mary Jane pumps that featured a modern sculptural block heel, oversize Balenciaga sunglasses, an Oscar de la Renta top-handle bag and a minimalist gold Bea Bongiasca ring.
Speaking to host Savannah Guthrie, Watts discussed breaking down the taboo topic of menopause. The actress said she was 36 and just completed filming King Kong and was trying to start a family when she was told she was on the brink of menopause.
“That just put panic in me and I didn’t know what to do,” she shared. “I felt very lonely, ashamed, like everything was over and that’s another reason I wanted to write the book because I want people to understand that it is not the end. There’s still much life ahead of us and plenty to do.”
Watts’ wardrobe changes were also far from over, as she followed it with a second, similarly ladylike ensemble for an appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark. This time, she wore an off-the-shoulder dress by Shushu/Tong. During the segment, cohost Kelly Ripa aptly described Watts’ honest yet humorous account on menopause “mandatory reading” for women everywhere.

Spotted in midtown Manhattan, Watts stayed cozy in a navy Prada wool coat with gold buttons, a parent-leather Prada mini bag and pointed-toe Prada pumps to match. Dana Rebecca hoops with baguette diamonds completed the look.

By the time Watts reached the Union Square Barnes & Noble for a discussion with journalist Laura Brown, she’d switched into a sleek tonal winter-white look consisting of silk wide-leg pants and a coordinating cardigan with a Celine double-breasted camel-colored overcoat that skimmed past her ankles.

She carried another Oscar de la Renta bag, the Ivy, which the luxury fashion house describes as mixing sophistication and utility, along with gold “O” emblems that pay homage to the house logo’s graceful curvature. A fitting choice for Watts, a leading voice in menopause awareness, whose book is as frank and informative as it is funny — a legendary achievement in and of itself.
Jenny McCarthyand Donnie Wahlberg have really committed to PDA, and their version leans heavily on private displays of affection, too.
“We like to sneak off at parties,” admits McCarthy, 52, in the latest Us Weekly cover story. “If someone has a Christmas party, we’re going to find the basement bathroom, take advantage of the moment.”
Which is not to say they’re neglecting the public aspect. One of their more memorable makeout sessions took place in a hallway during the 2014 Creative Arts Emmys. “We hear this voice say, ‘Get a room,’” Blue Bloods alum Wahlberg, 55, recalls. “I was like, ‘That sounded like the voice of God.’ It was Morgan Freeman. He walked by and winked at us.”
Getting called out by a legendary actor is a small price to pay for maintaining their obvious chemistry after a decade of marriage. “We work at keeping it hot,” Wahlberg says. The New Kids on the Block member and the Masked Singer judge met in 2012 and wed in 2014; he shares sons Xavier, 31, and Elijah, 23, with first wife Kimberly Fey, and McCarthy is mom to 22-year-old Evan with ex-husband John Asher. She and Wahlberg live with Evan and their five dogs outside Chicago in St. Charles, Illinois, close to McCarthy’s hometown. “Of course we love each other and we’re attracted to each other, but we also give it care,” says Wahlberg. “That’s how you keep [the spark] alive. We don’t take for granted that it’s been 10 years and we don’t have to do that stuff anymore. Keep doing it.”
Having found each other later in life, Wahlberg and McCarthy — now teaming up on the ID true-crime special Very Scary Lovers (February 2, 10 p.m., after the 9 p.m. finale of Wahlberg’s Very Scary People) — are determined to get it right this time around. To that end, they take a proactive approach to every aspect of their relationship, from sexy date nights to therapy to affectionate gestures. “We’ve both been through stuff in our past relationships and have had to work hard to navigate that in a healthy way,” says Wahlberg, adding, “From the moment we said ‘I do’ to forever, everything has been about making our marriage the best it can be.”
Read on for more words of wisdom — as told exclusively to Us — from the so-in-love pair.
You celebrated your 10th wedding anniversary last August. Do you feel like you have marriage figured out?
ERIC VOAKE/GETTY IMAGES FOR ID
DW I don’t think it took 10 years for us to figure it out. I don’t want to sound like we’re the greatest marriage experts in the world, but we had similar journeys: We’ve both been divorced, and we learned a lot before we met each other. I knew when we started dating there was no turning back. When we decided to get married, we were all in.
JM We’re always learning from each other. Our goal in life is to grow spiritually and get better as human beings, and we’re constantly welcoming the lessons that come our way.
What’s the secret of your success as a couple?
JM We do the work.
DW Prioritizing the marriage. If we put things before the relationship, we have a weak foundation. We went in [saying], “Let’s give it everything we’ve got and make it the center of our lives.”
You’ve both said divorce is not an option…
DW It’s not something that is even remotely possible.
DW There was a challenging thing early on because of past trauma we’ve had in relationships. One time she was backstage at my concert and she slammed her laptop shut when I walked in the room. I was like, “What is she hiding?” Because of my journey, I immediately thought, “She’s hiding something.” What I didn’t know is that because of her journey, she was afraid I’d yell at her for being on her laptop.
JM I was in a relationship where I had a phone casket at the front door. I was forced to put my phone in and then I could continue into the house and be in the relationship. If I ever snuck it out and he walked in, it was like, “I’m going to get in trouble.” That’s a perfect example of someone projecting their past into their current relationship. I wasn’t conscious of it. We were smart enough to talk it out, and then Donnie had such empathy for me.
DW We were vulnerable enough to share that with each other, and it brought us closer.
JM It was really hard for me in the beginning because I’ve gone through quite the history of hardships in relationships. I’ll put it nicely like that. I had built up such a shield. Being able to take that armor off has been wonderful.
Did you have any reservations about the other when you first got together?
DW I didn’t want to be in a public relationship. And she says a lot on TV, whatever the hell she wants. Jenny [is] very outspoken. The year before I met her, she kissed a cop at midnight on [New Year’s Rockin’ Eve]. By getting over that insecurity and trusting her, I got to know the private Jenny, which is the greatest Jenny of all.
How do you deal with conflict?

DW If something comes up that bothers one of us, we choose peace. That doesn’t mean we don’t work on it and resolve it, but we choose a peaceful path to that. If something ruffles my feathers, I take a look at myself before I say a word to Jen. If I go, “Hey, you hurt my feelings,” I’m not choosing peace. I [have to] look inside and say, “What bothered me about that? Oh, I have a sensitivity to that.” It could be from a past relationship. That gives me a better way into the conversation. It’s not, “You did this to me.” It’s, “I felt something, and I wanted to talk to you about it.”
JM That’s a secret weapon in relationships, and it’s really powerful. It’s about finding the space in between your reaction. You pause, you go inside, question it, and then you have a different reaction — and sometimes no reaction. That’s where true peace comes in. It’s not swallowing what you wanted to say.
DW Peace doesn’t mean ignore reality and don’t communicate. But it doesn’t have to be rooted in conflict, especially with the person you love so much.
Who is usually quicker to apologize when the situation calls for it?
JM It’s equal. Some days I don’t feel like it, so he’ll do it. Even though he might be right.
DW A wise [therapist] once told me, “You’re going to right yourself right out the front door of the relationship if you keep trying to be right.” Even if you don’t know exactly what you did wrong, “I’m sorry” can take the sting out, and it allows the other person space to be vulnerable.
DW I’m thinking about things I wish I didn’t do. I wish I could stay awake when we’re binge-watching stuff. I doze off.
JM That’s not annoying at all.
DW It annoys me on your behalf! We’re binge-watching Game of Thrones for the sixth time, but I don’t fall asleep anymore because I love it and I’m catching every little thing.
So no pet peeves?!
JM The only one is [something he] can’t control.
DW She’s outing me so bad right now. Get ready.…
JM It’s the snoring. For anyone who’s in perimenopause or menopause, if anything wakes you up, you can’t go back to sleep. So I’ve had to sleep with giant headphones. That’s tough.
DW Almost as tough as me waking up at 3 in the morning to her laughing [while] scrolling on TikTok. She’s not doom-scrolling, she’s laughter-scrolling. I’m in a deep sleep, and I look over and there’s a light beaming from her phone.
JM I have one more!
DW Oh, shoot, we’re opening up…
JM When we’re riding in the car, Donnie plays music so loud that I can’t enjoy the song. I want
to cry and scream. He needs to feel it through each cell.
DW The first thing I did when I made a hundred bucks was buy a car with a boomin’ radio so I could drive around Boston. Then they started hearing me coming, and I was like, “I don’t like this anymore. I’m supposed to be anonymous.”
JM [I know a] pet peeve Donnie has with me. It’s when I say, “Would you take out the garbage?” or “Can you take that picture off the wall?” and then I’ll do it.
DW She only asks when I’m in the middle of something! It’s like, “Oh, the Patriots are playing. Let me ask you to do this now.”
Tell Us more about keeping things spicy.

DW It’s not hard. I wake up and I’m like, “Pinch me. This is crazy.”
JM Me, too. Now that we’ve acquired five little Shih Tzu puppies in our bedroom, we have to get creative. We’ve dedicated little spots in our house that are more romantic. But also, nothing is sexier than respecting each other. When Donnie supports me, that’s the best foreplay ever.
Do you have any rules like no sweatpants or no burping in front of each other?
JM My hair will be frizzy and sticking up, and I’ll be wearing sweatpants with holes from college, and my breath will smell, and he’ll be like, “You’ve never looked more beautiful.” When you reach this level of love and trust, there almost isn’t a physical exterior anymore.
DW Like any couple, we try to get dressed up and go out. At the same time, I just love her. And all the gorgeousness that she walks into a room with is just the cherry on top of the soul.
You once told Us you’d joined the Mile High Club. Any other “clubs” where you’ve gotten busy?
DW Other people’s weddings.
JM There was that time when I was like, “We’ve never done it in a car.” So we drove down the street —
DW — and found a dark shadowy corner.
JM That’s how you keep it fun and spicy.
DW We have limits.
JM We don’t want people to watch us.
What does a typical date night look like?
DW We had delusions of grandeur a few weeks ago: We’re going to go here and we’re going to go there. We made it halfway through dinner [before] we’re like, “Let’s go home.” And we watched The Substance.
JM We’ll usually have fun before we go to dinner, otherwise we’ll be too tired — we’re at that age.
DW Now it’s like, “Let’s get the fun out of the way first, [then] let’s go eat and hope we can make it through one episode of Housewives.”
JM Sadly, that’s where we are!
What are some ways you put the other first?
Arnold Jerocki/Getty Images
JM When something good happens in our lives, we can’t wait to tell the other person. The only person I answer my phone for is him. My voicemail literally says, “Hi, why are you calling me?” So when the phone rings, I know it’s him and I’m so excited. We save special events and our deep, dark secrets for each other.
DW When we started dating, I sent her flowers all the time. Why would I stop now? Because there’s the ring on her finger? Shouldn’t I put the same care into it as when I was trying to win her heart? [I should] put even more care into it. We both try to do that.
Did you two ever talk about expanding your family?
JM We’re both on the same wavelength: No more babies.
DW We wish we could have. It seemed like we waited our whole lives for each other. But now we’re a happy blended family. We’ll live through the grandkids.
What adjectives describe your relationship?
JM Definitely sexy, but I’d also say authentic, deep, caring. Emotional. Trustworthy.
DW Fun. Easy.
JM Peaceful.
DW It’s such a sweet ride.
JM It really is.

The Hills alum Lo Bosworth is officially engaged to boyfriend Domenic “Dom” Natale, Us Weekly can confirm.
“For you, my darling, it could only be a yes,’” the reality television star and entrepreneur wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, January 21, announcing her engagement. The post featured a black and white photo of Bosworth, 38, kissing her now-fiancé.
“Thank you for being the best that one could be, for me,” the Love Wellness founder continued. “All my love, L.”
In the photo, Bosworth showed off her engagement ring and she leaned in to give Natale a kiss. No additional information about the newly betrothed couple or Bosworth’s new fiancé were shared at the time of the announcement.
While little is known about Natale, Bosworth’s love life was well documented while she appeared on MTV’s Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and The Hills.
In 2009, Bosworth met and started dating fellow The Hills cast member Scott Hochstadt. The pair dated for two years, agreeing to move in together during the series finale of the hit reality show.
While Bosworth told Us exclusively at the time that she thought Hochstadt could be “The One,” the pair called it quits the following year.

“Lo and Scott are no longer together but remain good friends,” Bosworth’s rep said in a 2010 statement to Us, following the former couple’s split. “They had talked about getting engaged quite a bit, but over the last couple of weeks it really unraveled… The age difference was a lot, and they are at different places in their lives.”
In 2013, Bosworth made headlines again when she started dating businessman Jeremy Globerson. According to Bosworth, who spoke to Us at the time, the pair started dating in 2012 and attended the 6th Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in New Jersey that same year.
“He’s very nice,” Bosworth said of Globerson at the time. The pair ultimately called it quits after dating for an undetermined amount of time.
Bosworth then moved on to former Shark Tank contestantJimmy DeCicco. After dating for an undisclosed amount of time, the pair went Instagram official in 2019 when Bosworth shared a since-deleted black and white photo of the pair. “Babe land,” she captioned the post.
In May that same year, DeCicco shared another since-deleted photo of the duo snuggled up together while on vacation. “This is our ‘we wish we were still on vacation face,’” the Shark Tank alum captioned the post at the time.
It’s unclear when the pair ultimately called it quits.
On Tuesday, friends and fans of Bosworth were quick to congratulate the entrepreneur on her recent engagement in the comments section.
“Yasssss cat’s out the bag,” Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton, founder and CEO of Chill House and Chill House Soho, wrote.
“Congratulations babe!!! So happy for you,” another friend posted.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. surprised the crowd — and many fans — after enlisting Jewel to perform at his Make America Health Again Inaugural Ball.
Jewel’s appearance was apparently a gift to Kennedy’s wife, Cheryl Hines, and was unexpected — Jewel was not previously included on the list of performers for the 2025 Inauguration events hosted on Monday, January 20, in celebration of President Donald Trump’s second term.
“We’re going to go out and make America healthy again,” Kennedy, 71, told the crowd at the inaugural MAHA ball held in Washington, D.C., according to a fan video shared via X.
“I got a call from a woman, who is Cheryl’s favorite musical artist in her whole life, and she said to me, ‘I’m going to come and sing to the crowd tonight,’” Kennedy said, before telling the audience, “We have a special treat. Please welcome Jewel.”
Jewel, who didn’t publicly endorse either candidate in the 2024 presidential election, then took the stage to a room full of cheers.
“I am happy to be here,” the 50-year-old singer said. “I want to thank Bobby for sacrificing so much to make America healthy again. To start treating us like we’re a whole human. We’re a physical, mental and an emotional body.”

The musician noted that she chose to sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” for the occasion because of what the song symbolizes.
“I think that it sums up the hope that founded America and that I think we’re all feeling again,” Jewel said before she sang the iconic song originally released by Judy Garland and written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg for 1939’s The Wizard of Oz.
Jewel’s a cappella rendition brought a tear to Hines’ eyes, who was watching from the side of the stage.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm actress, 59, was seen fanning herself while standing beside her husband and wiping away tears, according to an Instagram video from the event.
While Jewel is a longtime health advocate, especially when it comes to mental health, her performance was unexpected. While many fans appreciated her performance like a lot of the musicians who appeared on stage in honor of Trump’s return to office, she also received some backlash.
Jewel hasn’t publicly addressed her decision to sing at the MAHA gala, but Carrie Underwood, who performed “America the Beautiful” at the official inauguration ceremony, did respond to the online backlash she received.
“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood, 41, said in a statement earlier this month. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”
Nelly, who took that stage at a separate inauguration event over the weekend, released his own statement, claiming, “This isn’t politics.”
He explained, “The politics, for me, it’s over. He won. He’s the president. He’s the commander-in-chief of what I would like to say is the best country in the world.”
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.”
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‘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.”
“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.”
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.
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 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.
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.”
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.
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 ThePrice 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.
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 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 Usobtained 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.”
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.”
“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.
