Whether at a red carpet event or this year’s Super Bowl, it’s no surprise to see celebrities flaunting thousands of dollars of bling around their wrists. For most of us, wearing a watch worth over six figures is just crazy, especially when you can buy a house for that kind of money! But since we’re not all dropping six figures on a watch, I’ve rounded up affordable lookalikes to 10 notable celebrity watches that will have you looking like a star without breaking the bank.

3. Rihanna – Chopard Happy Sport Medium Stainless Steel and Diamond Watch

The paparazzi caught Rihanna wearing this Chopard Happy Sport Medium Diamond Watch while she was leaving a department store, according to Who What Wear.

Lookalike – Guess Stainless Steel + Pink Crystal Bracelet Watch

4. Taylor Swift – Cartier Panthère

Lookalike – Cheetah Gold Watch

If you want nearly the exact look of Taylor’s Cartier, this gold color watch from Cheetah is the one. The only real difference in design is the lack of a Cartier logo on the face and a slightly different background…and it’s not 18k solid gold. Beyond that though, it’s difficult to see much of a difference between the two. You can get yours from Amazon for just over $28!

• Cheetah Gold Watch from Amazon — $28

5. Cardi B – Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson

While technically a Men’s watch, that didn’t stop Cardi B from rocking this $300,000+ wrist accessory by two-time gold Masters champion Bubba Watson, according to Harper’s Bazaar. If you can afford it, we found it at Wrist Aficionado for just over $302,000! Fore!

• Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson from Wrist Aficionado — $302,900

Lookalike – Kimsdun Skeleton Sport Watch

Celebrity Men’s Watches

6. Odell Beckham Jr. – Richard Mille RM 11-03 McLaren

According to Hodinkee, Odell Beckham Jr. famously wore this multi-six-figure watch while NFL training camp, and even during games when he played for the Cleveland Browns! The eye-catching color scheme matches the Browns team colors—and his Rolls Royce Cullinan. He’s certainly braver than most for that decision but when you make the income of a football player (and took some of your salary in Bitcoin), you can live on the edge a bit! We found one at Wrist Aficionado for just under $400,000.

• Richard Mille RM 11-03 McLaren from Wrist Aficionado — $399,000

Lookalike – Mini Focus Men’s Watch Fashion Sport Wrist

While this Mini Focus men’s watch looks almost exactly like Odell’s, don’t expect the fit and finish of a Richard Mille. However, for the money, it might be worth it to see how close this Chinese knock-off is to the real deal. You can get yours from Amazon for only $40, and if you like it, 9,974 more of them before you equal the price of the original.

• Mini Focus Men’s Fashion Sport Wrist Watch from Amazon — $40

7. Ke Huy Quan – Cartier Santos-Dumont Skeleton

The Goonies and Indiana Jones alumnus (and recent White Lotus guest!) was looking sharp at the Academy Awards wearing this stylish Cartier watch.

'The Goonies' Cast Reunites for a Very Special Reason

Lookalike – MF Mini Focus Men’s Watch

For a similar same shape and style as Ke Huy’s Cartier watch minus a few details, this $40 MF Mini Focus Men’s Watch from Amazon is your best bet. The face and internals of the “skeleton” are clearly different, but at a glance they are nearly identical.

• MF Mini Focus Men’s Watch from Amazon — $40

8. Flavor Flav – Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44

The hip hop legend and clocks go hand in hand (or hand in neck?) due to Flavor Flav’s trademark look wearing clocks around his neck. However, Flavor Flav also shows some love to his wrists. According to GQ, Mr. Flav wore this Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44 on his left wrist and an even crazier Breitling for Bentley model covered in diamonds on his right. At least the B01 44 is somewhat “affordable” at just under $6,500!

• Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44 from Jomashop — originally $9,312, now $6,495!

Lookalike – Pagani Design Daytona Homage Men’s Watch

The Pagani Design Daytona Homage sports a similar design and shape as the Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44. There are some slight color differences but the overall feel is the same. With those differences in mind, you can get this one Amazon for less than a fraction the price of Flavor’s Breitling!

• Pagani Design Daytona Homage Men’s Watch from Amazon — $84

9. Jerry Seinfeld – Breitling Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute

If you’re a fan of Seinfeld, you may notice Jerry’s great taste in expensive watches throughout its nine-season run. This, of course, is a reflection of his real life persona. During an interview with GQ, Jerry showed off this Breitling Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute and even gave an interesting backstory. You can find models on eBay for around $15,000.

• Breitling Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute from eBay — $15,500

Lookalike – Daxiaoyu Big Dial Military Watch

There are a few minor differences with this Daxiaoyu Big Dial Military Watch, but the brand nailed the feel of Jerry’s Breitling in many ways. The main differences are a slightly different silver strap and some color/design choices but for less than $40, it’s hard to beat the similarities. You can get yours from Amazon on sale for $33.

• Daxiaoyu Big Dial Military Watch from Amazon — $33

10. Cillian Murphy – Omega De Ville Prestige

 

Cillian showed up at the 96th Annual Academy Awards wearing this classy look from Omega. According to Hodinkee, this is an Omega De Ville Prestige model with a leather strap. It’s definitely one of the “cheaper” options worn by a celebrity, but expect to pay at least $3,500 on the second-hand market. We found one on sale for $3,523.

• Omega De Ville Prestige from Jomashop — originally $6,412, now $3,523!

Lookalike – Fossil Minimalist Slim Three-Hand Light Brown Leather Watch

While the leather strap color and face are slightly different to Cillian’s Omega, the overall look and feel are there. I’ve owned a few Fossil watches in my life and they’ve always lasted decades with minimal issues. We found this minimalist slim three-hand brown leather watch on Amazon for less than $150!

• Fossil Minimalist Slim Three-Hand Light Brown Leather Watch from Amazon — originally $200, now $150!

Kylie Kelce is offering more insight into her dynamic with brother-in-law Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

“The drive is incredible,” Kylie, 32, said on the Thursday, March 6, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “To be able to witness it at all is very cool.”

Kylie has gotten to know Swift, 35, since the pop star began dating Travis, also 35, in summer 2023. They met for the first time the next year at an NFL playoff game.

“I will say, we knew before everyone else knew but it was not, like … it did not hit the group chat,” Kylie recalled on a February episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “[My husband, Jason Kelce,] and I found out together, but we knew before they hard-launched with her going to a game.”

Inside Taylor Swift's Friendship With Travis Kelce's Sister-in-Law Kylie

According to Kylie, she had not been “avoiding” Swift by not meeting ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills game in January 2024.

“It was funny to me because I kept saying to people, ‘I didn’t meet Travis for probably close to a year when Jase and I were dating,’” the field hockey coach explained, adding that she and Jason, 37, have since enjoyed double dates with Swift and Travis.

All of the interactions proved to both Kylie and Jason that the pop star and Travis have a sweet connection.

Seeing Taylor Swift Bond With His Family 'Means Everything' to Travis Kelce

“I remember the first time he said he was hanging out with her and I remember just being, like, ‘Are you kidding me? You’re hanging out with Taylor Swift, like, that’s insane [and] that’s awesome for you,’” Jason said on “The Steam Room” podcast in February. “You meet a lot of people [and] I think this felt different. What also felt different is the way he talks about her and talked about her from the moment he was with her.”

He added, “You could tell how much he really, really liked her right from the get-go and just first impressions. I think that level early on of that was something that was very eye-opening to me when we first had discussions.”

Jason, Kylie and their eldest daughters — the married couple shares Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, Bennett, 2, and are expecting baby No. 4 — have also supported Swift when she embarked on her Eras Tour. The Kelces attended concerts in London and Miami, respectively. (Jason and Travis’ parents, Donna and Ed, have also hit up multiple performances.)

“This Miami show was incredible,” Jason said on an October 2024 episode of his and Travis’ “New Heights” podcast. “I don’t know if it’s the fact that we’re back in the U.S. — I think the London crowd was incredible — but the rain and everything, dude, it was on another level.”

Kendall Long has welcomed her first baby with husband Mitchell Sagely.

“Hearts are SO full! Just enjoying our first few days as a family with the new BABE!” Long, 33, wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, March 5. “Will share more soon.”

Long shared an image of her newborn swaddled in a blanket, placing a heart over the baby’s face.

The couple revealed in September 2024 that they were expecting. “We have had quite the escapade these past few years but our most exciting adventure is yet to come ,” Long and Sagely wrote in a joint Instagram post. “Baby Sagely due February 2025!!”

One month before sharing their pregnancy news, Long revealed that the couple secretly eloped in Santa Barbara, California, days before they moved to Germany in 2022.

“It was such a special day surrounded by love with only our immediate family attending,” she recalled via Instagram. “It’s been incredibly hard for me to keep our secret and at times I’ve just wanted to shout to the world that I’m Mrs. Sagely!! So finally getting to tell you all is so freeing!”

Long gushed that being married to Sagely has been an “unforgettable adventure together,” adding, “We’ve traveled to some incredible places around the world and we have also [grown] closer from the struggles and small victories of adjusting to a life abroad. It’s truly bonkers to me that we’ve already been married for nearly two years!”

She continued, “Starting our life together abroad has made me so grateful for my husband and every day I wake up incredibly proud of the life we are building together .”

Bachelor Nation Alum Kendall Long and Mitchell Sagely Secretly Eloped

Long noted that the pair plans to have a larger celebration with family and friends in the U.S., but they “couldn’t wait to start [their] lives together.”

Bachelor Nation met Long when appeared on Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s season 22 of The Bachelor in 2018. Following her stint on the show, Long headed to the beaches of Mexico and formed a relationship with Joe Amabile on Bachelor in Paradise season 5. While Long and Amabile, 38, didn’t leave the show together, they rekindled their romance offscreen and moved in together in Los Angeles. The pair announced in 2020 that they called it quits.

“If anyone knows me, I’m not the person that plans my wedding and I was literally doing that with Joe,” she said on her “Down to Date” podcast one month after they split. “But something weird about ending something with some that you thought you were going to marry [is] you almost feel like you have such a better idea of what you’re looking for.”

Long and Amabile both returned for BiP season 7, but she exited the show after he formed a connection with Serena Pitt. After Amabile popped the question to Pitt, 27, in the season finale, the couple exchanged vows in 2022.

Millie Bobby Brown was saved by Chris Pratt from having a major wardrobe malfunction.

In a viral clip shared via social media, Pratt, 45, was seen helping Brown, 21, avoid flashing the audience as she rocked a micro denim skirt while recently doing a Madrid press conference for their upcoming movie, The Electric State. Before exiting the stage, Brown seemingly called Pratt over to stand in front of her as she attempted to stand up.

After the actor blocked her from view, Brown tugged her Dolce & Gabbana skirt set down and swiftly walked off the stage. Fans went crazy over the pair’s interaction via social media.

“So sweet and beautiful and kind of him to do that for her ,” one social media user wrote, as another added, “He’s a true gentleman for doing this!!” A third gushed, “She’s a cutie and Pratt is awesome .”

Chris Pratt Blasts Stars with ‘Bad’ On Set Attitudes: ‘It Ruins Everything’

Brown paired the skirt with a coordinating denim coat, featuring multi-colored lapels, buttons and sleeves. She teamed the look, from Dolce & Gabbana’s spring 2021 collection, with brown suede boots finished with white fur lining. She further accessorized with large gold hoop earrings and a number of rings.

Her glam was just as funky as her fit, donning uneven space buns with gold hair accessories. Her makeup tied her whole look together with pastel blue eyeshadow, mascara and pink lips.

Pratt, for his part, rocked a gray plaid blazer and black slacks. He teamed his look with a white dress shirt and a charcoal tie.

Millie Bobby Steps Out in Red Revenge Dress After Slamming Haters

According to the official movie plot, The Electric State follows Michelle (played by Brown) and her robot as they travel through a post-apocalyptic United States to try and find her missing brother (Pratt). The movie is based on a graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag and premieres Friday, March 14, on Netflix.

Once it hits March, it’s time to think about transitioning your wardrobe from winter to spring. Katie Holmes appears to be ahead of the game, recently inspiring us to add a silky skirt to our warmer-weather rotation. While the actress’ pick is no doubt designer, Amazon’s Modegal Satin Midi Skirt is a near-identical alternative. Even better, it costs just $28, so it’s no sweat adding it to cart.

Holmes provided some great transitional outfit inspiration, too, pairing her champagne-colored midi skirt with a white T-shirt, a slightly oversized blazer and tall boots — a combo that’s pretty much the definition of ‘elevated cool mom.’ It would be easy enough to copy this look (low bun and all!) with items that are already in our wardrobe, but there are also plenty of ways to make this shiny statement piece your own. You could pair it with a fitted bodysuit on a sweltering hot day, or add an oversized sweater with a French tuck while the weather is still chilly. Even a graphic T-shirt would be a smart choice, giving this luxe bottom an edgier twist. Let’s put it this way: A satin midi skirt is more versatile than you think.

Feel Rich (On a Budget) With These Luxe Yet Affordable Silky Fashion Pieces

The good news is, there’s more than just the champagne shade to choose from. This satin skirt comes in 29 different colors and patterns and is available in sizes small to 3XL. It doesn’t have a lining, so you can expect it to be lightweight and breathable (just what you want for transitional clothing). Shoppers have also praised the quality and pointed out how nicely it fits thanks to the hidden elastic waistband.

“These slip skirts are so elegant when paired with the right blouse,” wrote one five-star reviewer. I absolutely love them! It is easy to steam out the wrinkles, and the material is very nice. Will purchase more in different colors.”

“This is a nice skirt!” another happy shopper shared. “I ordered the small, expecting it to run large in the waist, but it hugs the waist nicely. And if you are curvy, it has room in the hips, but not too much room. Really pleased with this purchase.”

Holme is always serving up great style inspiration — she’s convinced us to buy barrel pants, a dome satchel bag, and other fashion essentials starting at just $9. But this transitional skirt is definitely a must-have for the month ahead. Scoop one up now and explore the endless ways to wear it. Then, the next time you’re at a loss for what to throw on, just ask yourself WWKW (What Would Katie Wear)?

Amber Rose has weighed in on her ex-boyfriend Kanye West’s apparent influence on his wife Bianca Censori’s style.

“He is, for sure, dressing her like that,” Rose, 44, said on the Wednesday, March 5, episode of the “Club Shay Shay” podcast. “He did the same thing to me and Kim [Kardashian]. That’s who he is. He wants other men to want his woman. That’s what he’s into. He likes that.”

West, 47, and Rose dated for two years from 2008 to 2010 before he later moved on with Kardashian, 44. West and Kardashian, who share four children, were married for seven years until divorcing in 2021. During their marriage, Kardashian had also looked to the rapper as a stylist.

“Kanye has always dressed me, he’s always styled me,” Kardashian previously said in a 2022 episode of The Kardashians. “In the early 2000s, he would, literally, just send me random emails with all these looks and what my style should be … and he’ll send me so many reference pictures. So, that’s always really been our thing.”

Is Kanye West Curating Wife Bianca Censori’s Shocking Outfits?

Following his breakup with Kardashian, West moved on with Censori, 30, and they wed in late 2022. After the Australian Yeezy designer wore an invisible dress to the 2025 Grammys last month, West claimed via X that he had “dominion” over Censori and his style.

“He likes that men are, like, drooling over his woman; that’s what he’s into,” Rose claimed on Wednesday. “He wants all his friends to want to f— his girlfriend. He wants everybody that walks into a room [to think] that his girlfriend or wife is the most desirable in the room.”

According to Rose, she followed that guidance when she dated West because she “was young.”

“Am I going to tell Kanye ‘no’ when I’m that young?” Rose recalled. “It’s, like, OK, you’re buying me stuff. I do look pretty and cool, but if you look at old pictures of me when I’m dating Kanye, but when I’m out by myself, I have all his clothes on. I have on baggie jeans, big a– T-shirt, jacket. I raided his closet when he wasn’t home.”

How Style Experts Reacted to Bianca Censori's Naked Grammys Dress

She added, “I would wear all his stuff because I used to hate to dress like a whore, basically. I used to rebel when he wasn’t home and I’d go into his closet.”

West also allegedly forced Rose to step out in her own see-through dress.

“I cried,” Rose claimed. “I was in Italy or Paris or something and I remember crying and arguing with him and being like, ‘I don’t want to wear this s—. I don’t want to wear it.”

Per Rose, West had told her that she just didn’t “understand” fashion and he was a self-proclaimed “genius” who did.

“It’s, like, ‘OK, I still don’t want to wear it, but I wind up wearing it and they ate me up on the internet,” Rose recalled. “The guys loved it.”

I have a strong feeling Gwyneth Paltrow’s at-home style is elegant yet comfy. I picture her floating from room to room wearing rich mom-esque matching sets and simple slides. While I can’t confirm her outfit of choice, I know for a fact that she does wear slides around the house — more specifically, ones from Message.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that the queen of wellness opts for handcrafted, sustainable footwear. Message slides and mules are made small-batch in Portugal with a barecork footbed and soft compression uppers. These two details paired together keep your feet in an anatomically correct position, offering supreme support while preventing blisters and swelling. Shoes that are stylish and good for your feet? I know, it almost sounds too good to be true. That’s why I had to test out the Message Eco-Shearling Shaw Slides for myself.

Just like Paltrow, these shearling-lined slides have become my everyday house shoes. The soft, cotton lining keeps my soles warm, and I really appreciate the slight compression. Wearing these shoes feels like I’m walking on clouds. I love them so much, that I want another color — and you better believe I’m adding them to cart while they’re 40% off.

Zappos Is Selling so Many Designer Shoe Lookalikes Right Now — 15 Pairs to Shop, ASAP

It’s rare for Message to have a major sale like this, and you can even get select styles for up to 50% off. With spring around the corner, it’s the ideal time to treat yourself to a new pair of slides or mules — especially since warmer weather is around the corner and you’ll be wearing them constantly.

Shoppers who have tried Message have quickly become obsessed, often buying two pairs at a time. “I am very pleasantly surprised and happy with these comfy, warm slides,” one reviewer writes. “They fit my feet (which sometimes are wide in the toe box and narrow in the back), and the sole is supportive but not hard. They look cute with leggings, jeans and casual slacks.”

Aside from coming in a slew of on-trend and timeless colors, the slides can also be thrown in the washer when they need a quick refresh.

Save big on Gwyneth Paltrow-approved footwear while the Message sale lasts. And if you’re not in the market for new slides, be sure to check out more discounted styles below.

Lisa Vanderpump didn’t know Jax Taylor was addicted to cocaine — but she could tell when filming Vanderpump Rules with him that something was wrong.

Vanderpump, 64, called into Andy Cohen’s Radio Andy on Wednesday, March 5.”How long has this been going on? Because I knew when he had a huge deal with me and the last words he said were, ‘You’re on my show,'” Vanderpump began, referring to the season 8 finale of Vanderpump Rules.

The restaurateur recalled looking into Taylor’s eyes and knowing “something was awry, for sure.” Vanderpump expressed hope that Taylor, 45, would continue to remain committed to his sobriety after going public with his personal struggles.

“But Jax is very stubborn and he is going to tell you what he wants you to know,” she added. “I knew something was going on but [I don’t have much contact with him] on The Valley. I am not that involved — not like I am with Vanderpump Rules.”

Jax Taylor Through the Years: All the Highs and Lows of ‘The Valley’ Star

Taylor broke his silence about his struggles with cocaine on the Tuesday, March 4, episode of Bravo’s “Hot Mic” podcast. “I have substance issues — primarily with cocaine. It’s hard to say out loud,” he said. “I’ve been dealing with this on and off since I was 23 and now I’m 45. There were times where I would stop doing it but then there were times where I’d go heavy on it.”

Taylor clarified that he cut out alcohol as well. “People ask you, ‘Do you have an alcohol problem too?’ I don’t necessarily think I have an alcohol problem but the two go hand in hand,” he noted. “I can’t do cocaine without drinking. So I just gave up both. I’m proud to say I’m 83 days sober right now, which is the longest I’ve ever gone in my life without either.”

After fans questioned Taylor’s behavior in the past, he acknowledged there were “some signs” they were picking up on, adding, “And [producers] did pull me aside a couple times and say, ‘Listen, calm down now.’ They didn’t know, but they thought I was drinking too much.”

Taylor subsequently explained that production wasn’t “supplying” the cast with alcohol or any substances.

“I would go off on my own. We would film a scene and you have 30 minutes [of] downtime so most people go rest. I would go to a bar, get lit or go next door from SUR and that’s where we all went because we weren’t allowed to drink during scenes,” he detailed. “During certain times, we would go to parties. But when we’re doing these important scenes, they were like, ‘Stay away from that’. But we’d all sneak in the back alley or we would all go get ripped before a scene.”

Following Taylor’s revelation, his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, spoke out in a statement.

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Cast's Biggest Scandals and Controversies

“His addiction unfortunately has done irreparable damage to my son and I,” Cartwright, 36, who shares 3-year-old son Cruz with Taylor, began via her Instagram Story on Tuesday. “I’ve spent years trying to help him. I wish more than anyone I could say how proud I am of him today but I’d be lying. His actions will speak for themselves.”

Cartwright addressed criticism about her past relationship with Taylor.

“And to those asking why I stayed if I knew he had a problem all these years. You can’t help who you fell in love with. I’ve done absolutely everything in my power to get him the help he desperately needed. Unfortunately, I was naive and believed his empty promises and his pleads to change for years,” she continued. “Once you have a child with someone, it’s not easy to leave. It took everything in my power to gather the strength to walk away. For those that have been through similar, you get it. For those that question me … that’s OK. I’m in a much better place now.”

Although I can’t speak for everyone, for me I felt deep gratitude for all the good people God has put into my life, the many seasons of life He has brought me through, and the lovely woman I get to join together with. I have found the one whom my souls loves, and I rejoice .”

Cross shared his last Instagram pic of Evelyn in October 2023. “Who’s your favorite fall person? I got mine!” he wrote alongside a photo of his wife in front of a picturesque autumn backdrop.

3. When Was Andrew Cross’ Car Accident?

Evelyn took to her husband’s YouTube channel on February 2 to reveal that he had been in a “really bad accident” a few days prior and was “fighting for his life” in the ICU after sustaining a severe brain injury.

“This community has really, really meant a lot to him and to both of us over the last year, and I know that he would want all of you to know this,” she emotionally shared in the clip. “I think many of you know that we’re Christians, and so we really, really believe in the power of prayer and that God is gonna work through this tragedy.”

Evelyn concluded the clip by asking fans for their prayers and well-wishes and shared a link to their CaringBridge page. “Your prayers and support in this time really mean the world. We are just so grateful for all of you for watching his videos,” she stated. “It’s mind-blowing to us that you want to show up and watch them. So, we just thank you for everything thus far and we just continue to ask for your support in this time.”

4. Why Was Andrew Cross Taken Off Life Support?

In a Sunday, March 2, update on Cross’ CaringBridge page, Spooner revealed that their family had decided to take her brother off life support the following day. “Even in making this agonizing decision, we have not and will not stop asking for Andrew’s healing,” Spooner wrote. “The medical team has explained there’s no predictable timeline for how long someone will live once life support is removed — it could be minutes, days, or weeks. We’re praying it will be decades!”

5. What Happened During Andrew Cross’ Final Moments?

While announcing his death on Tuesday, Spooner shared insight into Cross’ final moments with his family. “Before removing Andrew from life support yesterday, they put him on a mobile ventilator and walked a loop around the whole ICU while all the available staff lined the hallway as a way to honor him,” she wrote on his CaringBridge page. “Then in the room, friends & family read scripture, prayed, and sang during the process of removing life support and for over an hour afterwards It was peaceful and beautiful.”

In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, Christina Haack’s new boyfriend, Christopher Larocca, made a surprise appearance on The Flip Off.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to clock Larocca standing in the background of the HGTV show’s finale, which aired on Wednesday, March 5. The scene, which was set at Haack’s California home, revealed who won the show’s final challenge. (Guest judge Jeff Lewis ultimately crowned Haack’s ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his new wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, as the winners.)

Larocca did not interact with his girlfriend during his brief guest appearance, but he stood in the crowd wearing a black button-down shirt and holding a glass of champagne.

Us Weekly confirmed in January that Haack is dating Larocca amid her ongoing divorce from Joshua Hall, who was initially set to star on The Flip Off with her. Hall, 44, was eventually cut from the show, with Haack telling Us in January that no one would “miss” him.

Tarek El Moussa Shares Double Date Photo With Christina Haack's New Man

The former couple split in July 2024 after two years of marriage. Haack was previously married to Tarek, 43, from 2006 to 2016, and they share children Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9. Haack moved on with Ant Anstead, whom she was married to from 2018 to 2020. They share 5-year-old son Hudson.

Haack was first linked to Larocca in October 2024 when they were spotted on a trip to Italy, according to photos published by the Daily Mail at the time. The couple made their relationship Instagram official last month.

“Some plane flights must be hard posted,” Haack captioned the photo, which showed her and Larocca smiling as they held glasses of champagne and shared a seat.

In her recent Us cover story, Haack addressed whether she would ever get married again.

“I’ll always love love,” she said. “I probably will [get married again] eventually. But not anytime soon.”

Christina Haack Says It’s ‘Much Easier’ Filming New Show Without Josh Hall

The reality star said she needs to “be engaged for a minimum of, like, five years” first before considering another trip down the aisle — and even joked that she was “terrified of men” and “taking a break” from dating. She also spoke about coping with her tumultuous divorce from Hall.

“I’ve been very busy, which is probably a blessing,” she told Us. “It’s really been a big growth period.”

Winter’s days are numbered — which means it’s time to break out those tennis dresses (even if you don’t own a racquet), stock up on sunscreen and get yourself a pair of comfortable sneakers to carry you through the spring.

These kicks feature suede and mesh upper, along with a lugged rubber outsole for extra grip and durability. So whether you’re strolling through the city or hitting a farmers market, you can count on them to keep you steady on your feet. While they come in tons of different colors, the pale moss shade takes the cake for spring. Why? Because it’s just as versatile as white but adds a little more personality to your outfit! The best part? These shoes are 25% off right now, bringing them to just $75.

For Ashley Tisdale, welcoming her 6-month-old daughter, Emerson, to the family has been an “amazing transition.”

“Jupiter is just such a great big sister, and she really is obsessed with her little sister, so much to where I have to be, like, ‘Boundaries, Juju!’” Tisdale, 39, exclusively shares in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “I think it’s just been a really easy transition for all of us.”

Tisdale and her husband, Christopher French, became first-time parents with the birth of their eldest daughter, Jupiter, in 2021. The couple, who wed in 2014, announced they were expecting their second child in March 2024 and welcomed baby Emerson that September.

For Tisdale, becoming a mother of two comes with both perks and challenges. “[With] your first one, you really have no idea what [it’s] going to entail and what that looks like and how to do things,” she explains. “And you’re so nervous. … With the second, you just feel so much more confident.”

Ashley Tisdale Got a Blowout Before Giving Birth — Then Threw Up on Herself

One thing that has helped Tisdale and French’s parenthood transition is the fact that Emerson has been “sleeping through the night” since she was around 3 months old. “She really is such an easy baby,” Tisdale gushes. “She’s so cute. She really just has made [our] family feel very complete.”

Tisdale notes that she felt “robbed” during her first experience becoming a mother, having suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to Jupiter. “To be able to have this experience again and to have it in such a great way and be so present, it makes me cherish every single moment,” she tells Us.

The actress went on to admit that becoming parents did “change” her and French’s marriage and that it took them a bit to find their parenting groove. “I feel like we balance each other out,” she says. “There are times where Chris is really the fun parent and I might be a little bit more strict. And then, there’s times where he’s a little bit more strict with scheduling, and I’m a really fun parent.”

She continues, “We have such a great foundation. We do have different parenting styles sometimes, and I think that’s great. I think that’s awesome. But you kind of have to start to get on the same page in some areas. … Now with Emerson, we both know how we are and what to do.”

Ashley Tisdale and Christopher French’s Relationship Timeline

Another difference between Tisdale’s early days with Jupiter and current experience with Emerson is breastfeeding — she tells Us she had “such a hard time” breastfeeding her eldest. Luckily, things have been easier this time around, thanks to her partnership with the Willow wearable breast pump.

“When you’re breastfeeding a newborn, you feel very much like you’re just in the rocking chair the entire time,” she shares. “Willow really gave me that optimism to be like, ‘Oh, I can leave and I don’t have to be here at all times, every hour, and I can have a life again, and I can do these things.’ And now I have this support system and it’s been really great.”

Friends guest star Stephen Park called the show out for creating an allegedly toxic environment where he and others endured racist name calling and more.

During the Monday, March 3, episode of “Pod Meets World,” Danielle Fishel asked Park about an open letter he released in 1999 following a “disappointing” time on the set of “a very massive” sitcom.

“You wrote way ahead of its time an incredibly brave mission statement to Hollywood about status, power and racism in Hollywood about the difficulties you faced finding work as an Asian actor — and especially work that you felt you could be proud of,” Fishel said. “Can you tell us what the effects of that letter were at the time?”

Park immediately named Friends as the show, adding, “It was at the time, I felt it was kind of a toxic environment. James Hong was the actor who was also on the episode with me, and [the assistant director] was calling him to the set and you know, essentially saying, ‘Where the f—k is the Oriental guy? Get the Oriental guy.’”

'Friends' Cast: Where Are They Now?

He continued: “This isn’t the first time that this happened, you know, but this is the environment where this is business as usual in Hollywood in 1997, I guess it was. And nobody felt the need to correct this or say anything about it. So this is normal behavior.”

Park, who appeared in two episodes of Friends in 1997, tried to contact the Screen Actors Guild, which led to him writing a “mission statement” that he sent to a publication. Park did several interviews but none of them were published at the time.

“I had become so race-conscious and so angry that I was looking at everything through the lens of race,” he noted. “I felt like there was no freedom. I didn’t feel any freedom. So, I didn’t have any idea what I was going to do, but I just decided to drop out. I told everybody, ‘I’m not acting anymore.’”

The incident led Park to take a step back from acting. He eventually did a “slow climb back into the business.” Since his return, Park has appeared in Boy Meets World, Law & Order, The Venture Bros. and Mad About You.

Park isn’t the only guest star to speak out about the show’s lack of diversity. Adam Goldberg previously addressed criticism regarding Friends‘ largely all-White cast.

“In terms of diversity, looking back, it seems insane,” he told The Independent in September 2024. “I’ve heard Black people speak about this and it’s like, you never expected to see yourself, so when you didn’t, it was not a surprise, and you ended up identifying to characters, irrespective of their race.”

Goldberg said having a lack of diversity on TV was “the norm” at the time, adding, “I spent a lot of my career complaining about how Italians can play Jews. You see [Robert] De Niro play Jews, but you very rarely see someone who’s a known Jewish actor playing Italian. So that’s where my head was at.”

'Friends' Most Memorable Guest Stars

He added: “Or I would get feedback about not being all-American enough, which, you know, if you were to say that to somebody now you’d probably be fired. Or maybe not, because all-American has become such a derisive term. But yes, the entire culture was like that, and television was just an amplification of that culture.”

David Schwimmer, meanwhile, revealed to The Guardian in January 2020 that he “campaigned for years for Ross to date women of [color]” before Aisha Tyler’s character was introduced but he faced backlash for pitching an “all-Black Friends or an all-Asian Friends.”

Actress Erika Alexander called out Schwimmer’s comments, writing via X at the time, “Hey @DavidSchwimmer @FriendsTV — r u seriously telling me you’ve never heard of #LivingSingle? We invented the template! Yr welcome bro.”

In response, Schwimmer issued a lengthy apology, saying, “If my quote was taken out of context, it’s hardly in my control. I assure you I meant no disrespect.”

School Spirits’ epic season 2 finale was filled with endless twists, turns and surprises — leaving Us with way more questions than answers.

The series, which premiered in 2023, follows 17-year-old Maddie (Peyton List) as she tries to investigate her own mysterious disappearance from the afterlife. Stuck in the place her body was last seen — her high school — she teams up with fellow ghosts Wally (Milo Manheim), Charley (Nick Pugliese), Rhonda (Sarah Yarkin) and the only living person who she can still contact, her best friend Simon (Kristian Ventura), in order to find answers.

While season 1 revealed that Maddie had been body snatched by one of the ghosts, Janet (Jess Gabor), season 2 revolves around her trying to get back to the living while falling in love with Wally and bonding with her new ghost pals. Simon, meanwhile, enlists the help of his and Maddie’s living friends, Xavier (Spencer MacPherson), Clare (Rainbow Wedell) and Nicole (Kiara Pichardo), to help answer the ominous secrets that exist within their town.

“We started the series and people were polarized because of Maddie’s disappearance. … There was such distrust in the first season,” showrunner and executive producer Oliver Goldstick exclusively told Us Weekly. “And I think when we came into season 2 [with] the idea of they’re [all] now bonded, because you can’t unknow. And they all start having experiences that let them realize there might be a world beyond what we can see.”

TV Couples We Need to See in 2024: ‘The Bear,’ 'Sweet Magnolias' and More

The show has been lauded for its “Breakfast Club”-like structure and relatable characters. Creators Nate and Megan Trinrud told Us they intentionally pulled from legendary filmmakers like John Hughes in hopes of creating heightened emotional moments and relationships that felt believable to the audience.

“The show poses a big question, which is, ‘What would you do if you were in this situation?’” Nate explained. “How would you react if you had to deal with this crazy thing? And so we’re quite literally dropping the audience into issues of these characters to have to feel all of those big feelings.”

All episodes of School Spirits are available to stream on Paramount+. Keep scrolling for the answers to every burning question from the season 2:

Why Didn’t Janet Cross Over?

While Janet — now back in her body and aware that Mr. Martin started the fire that killed them both — worked through her scar in the finale and found her way to the “light,” she ultimately chose to stay with the other ghosts instead of crossing over.

Despite how the season ended, Goldstick revealed that the initial plan was for Janet to move on, like Dawn (RaeAnne Boon), but that ultimately changed.

“[With] the Janet of it all, we thought Janet was crossing over,” Goldstick told Us. “We just felt that was going to be satisfying, it was inevitable. She deserved it. But we didn’t expect to love this actor [Jess Gabor] so much. It also felt like this person came into her own and could help the other ghosts. So we decided to not let her crossover. We thought maybe we need her in our world a little longer.”

The showrunner noted that it’s important to always be “open” when it comes to creating a story, despite having “clear ideas” from the start. “That’s what a writer’s room is about and you have to see how things evolve and they do,” adding, “They reveal themselves when you start shooting, too.”

Why Were Yuri and Quinn Added to the Ghost Scooby Gang?

After Wally, Rhonda, Charley and Maddie’s bond was solidified in season 1, the writers wanted to “mix things” up with the ghost group in order to give the characters “avenues to explore other kinds of feelings.” Enter Yuri (Miles Elliot), the 1970s “Russian pottery” ghost mentioned in the first season — who does speak English, after all — and Quinn (Ci Hang Ma), the early 00’s band ghost who wakes up after Rhonda loses her cool.

“We always sort of love this idea of the ghost who doesn’t wanna join [the core group]. Dawn was sort of that thing, too, and we lost Dawn. [We want to have] these characters who weren’t sort of under Mr. Martin’s thumb but also are struggling in their own different ways,” Nate explained of expanding the spiritual Scooby Gang.

“And then to have Charley be able to have Yuri be a confidant but also [a] romantic interest, it speaks so much to the progress Charley’s made from season 1 with Emilio (Andres Soto),” he continued. “And moving forward beyond that and learning, like, ‘Oh, just letting go of somebody isn’t always all you need to be ready for a new relationship.’ Charley didn’t do a lot of introspection about his own feelings about himself.”

So … Did Wally Crossover?

If you thought you were getting a straight answer on this one — come on, you know better than that! The EPs did tease the reason why Wally saw “the light” in his scar in the final moments of the finale, though, and what could be ahead for a potential season 3.

“It was definitely ambiguous on purpose, because you know, we live [for] cliffhangers and to also devastate people,” Nate said with a laugh before hinting at what may come next. “But you know, there’s a lot of questions that come along with that. Like, what does it mean to really lose somebody? But also, do you ever lose anybody?”

Eagle-eyed viewers remember that Wally saw Maddie walking away from him in his scar, a new image that was never there before she returned to her body, and according to Nate, there are a few other clues that could point to what lies ahead for everyone’s favorite football-loving ghost.

“All I can tell you is that there are a lot of clues in the finale that I think if you look closely at you can sort of see where this might be going,” he said. “But yeah, that’s a big question mark.”

OK, but did he cross over?! “All we can say is, look, Janet was able to leave and she chose to stay, so who knows what could happen,” Nate teased. “Anything could happen.”

Why Was Wally the 1 to See ‘The Light’?

Season 2 of School Spirits saw a lot of the ghosts working through their trauma, but it was Wally who ultimately saw the (literal) light at the end of the tunnel.

“I think it’s a testament to how much work Wally has done on himself,” Megan said. “I think that part of what we want to reiterate is, like, this is a person who came from a very toxic time in a lot of ways and has been able to grow and change in death in a way that a lot of people aren’t afforded when they’re alive. And it’s so important to have been exposed to all of these people around him and instead of just holding on to his generational trauma, Wally opened up to all of these people and I think that even on a small level it’s important to recognize that Wally really did some work.”

Wally’s personal progress was particularly highlighted in episode 6, where he — and viewers — realized that he had been a bully during his life, especially toward queer kids, causing him to spiral before apologizing to Charley for the harm caused by his past mistakes.

Nate added that Wally learning to stand up and be a leader, instead of a follower, was also a big lesson for the character in the second season — in all aspects of his life.

“Wally in season 1, in his scar we sort of are exposed to this, but this is a guy who’s really trying to please a lot of other people,” Nate explained. “He’s making a lot of decisions for the happiness of others. I think that’s such a beautiful thing sometimes, but it’s also really detrimental. One of my favorite parts of season 2 is in episode 7, Wally for maybe the first time in his life, or afterlife, says what he wants: he wants [Maddie] to stay.”

Wally ultimately confessed to Maddie after they slept together that he wished she’d stay a ghost so they could remain together. Despite knowing she ultimately couldn’t do what he asked, it was important for the character to be able to express that desire.

“Finally Wally knows what he wants and he is so clear about it and he’s advocating for himself and it’s not about other people. And he knows he probably can’t get it, but he really does have that kind of breakthrough, and I think that’s so important for that character’s growth,” Nate continued.

Why Was Xavier Picked to See Ghosts?

The season 2 premiere followed Xavier as he briefly died and found himself amid ghosts in the hospital before being revived — and episodes later, he realized one of those ghosts was Maddie’s late father. The season 2 finale revealed that Xavier could still see those ghosts when he began communicating with Maddie’s dad.

Goldstick told Us that out of all the (living) teens, Xavier made the most sense to bestow the supernatural ability due to his “near death experience” in the season 1 finale.. And while it lined up logically, it also helped the character evolve past the “brooding bad boy” he is when viewers first meet him — and gave MacPherson a chance to showcase his range.

“[Spencer] himself started to evolve for us as well. He’s so gifted, I think we realized if Xavier could straddle both worlds, wouldn’t that be fascinating as well?” Goldstick asked. “Wouldn’t that give us a lot of story? So once we knew he was in a near death experience, it was clearly the most organic way to go.”

While season 2 ends by making it clear Xavier can see ghosts, how will that play into season 3? Goldstick was determined to stay mum: “We know how we’re gonna use it, [but] we can’t tell you or we’ll be killed. We’re not allowed to talk!”

Will Xavier Be Able to Connect Maddie to Her Dad?

While details on how Xavier will use his new gift remain under wraps, he did tell Maddie in the episode’s final moments that he can see ghosts, including her father. That dynamic will be further delved into in a potential season 3.

“One of the fun, the fun parts of the show is clearly we like messy undefined relationships,” Nate explained. “We really like to complicate how people are connected to one another. And the idea that Maddie’s cheating ex-boyfriend who is the murder suspect in her disappearance, who now we’ve watched really try and show up and do right by her ends up being maybe the person that can communicate with her dead father? That is so messy and complicated in the way that really makes these people have to look at each other differently. And I think that is what’s so exciting about the show.”

Were Xaiver and Simon Always Destined for a ‘Bromance’?

One of the undeniable fan favorite dynamics of the show’s second season was the friendship that blossomed between Xavier and Simon, and Nate told Us that the duo’s fun dynamic was both by design and thanks to MacPherson and Ventura’s organic chemistry.

“What’s funny is that our actors are all really good friends with each other,” he said. “The show is, like, the best version of summer camp, where you just see your best friends and hang out and you all have to make something together really fast. So they all have chemistry, and we get to see it on set every day. And it’s funny because a lot of our actors are never in scenes with one another —the ghosts are rarely in scenes with the living kids —so it was so fun to get to cross those worlds.”

Nate said one of the best things, he feels, about School Spirits is how it “blurs” the lines of “contemporary relationships between people, friendships [and] romantic relationships,” which is what they aimed for with Xavier and Simon.

“I think it’s important to get to see two young straight guys having a platonic friendship that’s based on vulnerability,” Nate explained. “We just don’t get to see that, and they’ve both been through hell. These boys are going through crazy shit. So to get to watch them confide in each other, rely on each other and lean on each other was really, in the writer’s room, something that was important to us.”

Is Simon Dead? And Why Can He See the Other Ghosts?

Simon showing up in Janet-slash-Mr. Martin’s scar in the finale — and being able to see every ghost after two seasons of only seeing Maddie! — was a gigantic twist for season 2, and while the EPs wouldn’t divulge if Simon is living, dead, or anything in between, they did explain why they felt it was the right next step for the character.

“What we are really excited about with Simon is, like, this is a character we watched for two seasons show up for Maddi nonstop. He has put his life on hold,” Nate explained. “He’s maybe risked his own future to try and help and save and show up for his best friend. But there’s a cost to that. And what does it mean?”

Nate cited a conversation between Janet and Mr. Martin from earlier in season 2, adding, “[They ask], ‘What does it mean to lose yourself in somebody else or in trying to save somebody else and what is the cost?’ And so I think that thematically, there’s a lot to really uncover there. And then, like, in the lore, in the supernatural world of this, it’s a new expansion. We’re learning more about what can happen and what might be possible for everyone else.”

What Were Those Flashing Red Lights, Anyway?

As Maddie made the gigantic leap back into her body during the season 2 finale’s big climatic moment, both the ghosts and living teens were shocked to see flashing red lights throughout the school. While red has historically meant “very very bad” for the series in the past, the EPs said the twist factors into a larger mystery they hope to explore in the future.

“I think the big thing is there’s still a lot of mystery left to uncover —not just Split River High but Split River,” Nate revealed. “Something is going on in this town and I think we see in that big culmination as Maddie’s making that run, whatever they did in those scars, did something to the school. We watch Xavier and Claire and Nicole see it lighting up.Something happened that night.”

Will the Ghosts Ever Be Able to Break Out of Their Designated Areas?

The short answer? Maybe!

“Certainly our minds are very curious about [answering the question], ‘How do you expand this world to see what the real lore of this place is?’” Nate teased. “So I can’t give any hard answers, but what I can say is that there are so many possibilities.”

Everything to Know About ‘Yellowjackets’ Season 3 After Natalie's Death

Nate called the end of season 2 a “moment of discovery,” telling Us, “We’ve got people who are finally uniting and who know more than we did before. And when you come equipped with information and you band together, big discoveries can happen.”

Is There a Connection Between Wally and Maddie’s Necklaces?

Viewers have speculated if fan favorite couple Wally and Maddie have a secret connection by way of their similar necklaces. Those questions reached a fever pitch during the finale when Maddie realized her necklace was her key to getting inside her scar.

The EPs teased that there were no major plot points you should be holding out for involving the two jewelry pieces, however, that doesn’t mean it’s not a signifier of the pair’s deep connection.

“I think what we can say is that sometimes we’re connected by things we don’t even realize,” Nate told Us. “And maybe that is just a beautiful accent about how the two of them [are connected].”

Meghan Markle reveals an unusual hobby that she shares with sister-in-law Princess Kate Middleton in her new Netflix show.

In the opening scene of With Love, Meghan, which premiered on Tuesday, March 4, the Duchess of Sussex wears a beekeeper’s suit and harvests honey from her personal apiary.

“I’ve got good vibes. Good vibes for good hives,” Meghan tells viewers.

“It’s like also that little reminder to do something that scares you a little bit. I think that’s part of it, but I’m trying to stay in the calm of it. Because it’s beautiful to be this connected,” she adds.

Kate has also publicly shared her love of beekeeping. To celebrate World Bee Day in May 2023, Kensington Palace released an image of the princess wearing beekeeper’s gear while handling bees at her home in Anmer Hall on the Sandringham estate.

The princess even brought a jar of her own honey to a royal engagement at the Natural History Museum in London in June 2021.

“Would you like to try some? This came specially from my beehive. Does it taste like honey from the shops? Does it taste like flowers?” Kate asked children at the event, according to the Daily Mail’s royal editor Rebecca English.

The hobby is also beloved by King Charles III. After visiting the king’s Highgrove estate in June 2024, David Beckham told BBC News he exchanged “beekeeping tips” with the monarch.

Similarly, Charles’ wife, Queen Camilla, also produces honey from hives at her country home in Lacock, Wiltshire, England, People reported.

In 2020, the queen became president of Bees for Development, a charity that aims to promote “sustainable beekeeping to combat poverty, build resilient livelihoods and benefit biodiversity,” according to its website.

In With Love, Meghan, the duchess reveals that she had been involved with the hobby for around a year at the time of filming.

The former actress’ As Ever brand will sell honey as part of its initial lineup when products are released in the spring. The range of products includes: raspberry spread, wildflower honey with honeycomb, flower sprinkles, herbal hibiscus tea, herbal peppermint tea, herbal lemon ginger tea, crepe mix and a shortbread cookie mix with flower sprinkles.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Frank Catania and his fiancée, Brittany Mattesich, secretly tied the knot.

“We are married,” Catania, 60, said on the Thursday, March 6, episode of PodcastOne’s “On Display With Melissa Gorga” podcast, noting that the ceremony took place “back in November” of 2024.

Frank — who was previously married to Gorga’s RHONJ costar Dolores Catania — and Mattesich are still planning to hold a second ceremony later this year.

“We’re gonna have it up here now. I can’t put Brittany through it again,” Frank quipped. “We don’t have a date [yet], but we’re doing it up here. We’re not doing a destination wedding.”

RHONJ’s Dolores Catania Will ‘Definitely’ Go to Ex-Husband Frank’s Wedding 

Frank popped the question to Mattesich in October 2023.

“We’re Engaged!!!! I’m so excited to start this next chapter with you along with all the other good things we have going on,” Mattessich wrote via Instagram at the time. “Thank you for being you & making me the happiest girl in the world. I wouldn’t want to do this life with anyone else other than @frank.catania.sr. Love you so much my fiancé .”

Frank and Dolores, 54, were married between 1994 and 1998, during which time they welcomed daughter Gabrielle, now 29, and son Frankie Jr., now 26. At the time of Frank’s proposal, Dolores was ecstatic for her former spouse.

“I’m so excited. Frank’s a part of the family and it’s like you’re happy for someone who’s a part of your family to find the right person,” Dolores exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2023. “And he’s happy, she’s excited and I just wish them the best.”

Dolores, who even attended Mattesich’s bridal shower, further teased to Us that she and her boyfriend, Paulie Connell, would “definitely” go to her ex’s wedding.

Dolores has been dating Connell, 50, since 2021. After Connell recently finalized his divorce, Frank believes that their own engagement might follow.

“Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised,” Frank said on Thursday’s episode. “Honestly, if it’s going to happen, I think it’d happen within 2025.”

Dolores is not in a rush to accept a proposal, frequently stressing that she’s happy with her and Connell’s romance as it is. The Bravo star is also gearing up to be a mother-of-the-groom after son Frankie Jr. proposed to his girlfriend, Nicole Perricho, on February 22.

Shooting down Gorga’s hopes for a “triple wedding,” Frank hinted that Frankie Jr. and Perricho were eyeing a wedding date in 2026.

Given their hectic schedules, Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld aren’t wasting any time when it comes to planning their nuptials.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback, 28, proposed to the Pitch Perfect actress, 28, in November 2024 after more than one year of dating. Now, a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly that the pair is moving full steam ahead to the altar. 

“They don’t want a long engagement, and the wedding planning is already underway,” the source said. “Hailee is very excited about the planning process and now that Josh is done with the season, she hopes they can have more time to make decisions together.”

Allen’s season ended on January 26 with an AFC Championship Game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Bills training camp is expected to start in July. Steinfeld, meanwhile, is currently filming a project. 

Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen’s Relationship Timeline

“They only have a few timeframes they can have the wedding, so they are nailing down the logistics and are location scouting right now,” the source added. “It will be a very intimate but extravagant event.”

Despite their high profiles, Allen and Steinfeld didn’t make their red carpet debut until the NFL Honors in February. 

“Hailee and Josh are extremely private,” the insider explained. “They are finally feeling comfortable in sharing more of their relationship and their lives together, but it took several years. They are both private and low-key people and that’s why it works.”

The source said Allen and Steinfeld “hit it off right away” after meeting at an event in 2023, and later connected online.

“They were very serious from the beginning and knew each other was a good match,” according to the insider. “Josh loves Hailee’s sense of humor, and she keeps him grounded. They laugh a lot together and also have a deep connection. Hailee is the most supportive partner, and Josh fell in love with her instantly.”

Once the wedding is out of the way, Allen and Steinfeld are aligned on knocking off another one of life’s milestones together.

“They both are excited about starting a family and want that in the next few years,” the source revealed. “They both share the same values when it comes to parenting and having kids.”

While mostly staying out of the spotlight, Steinfeld was a regular presence at Bills games last season — even bringing her older brother, Griffin, to a game in Los Angeles against the Rams in December 2024. 

“Hailee loves supporting Josh’s career and admires his work ethic,” the source said. “She absolutely loves going to the games and cheering him on. It’s fun for her to bring her family and be with Josh’s and they make it a huge family outing. Their families have bonded a lot, especially during the season.”

Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian don’t hold back at all when it comes to discussing sex on their Hulu reality series.

The Kardashians premiered in 2022 and the famous family hit the ground running with updates about their personal lives. While Kim was navigating her split from Kanye West, Khloe was off-and-on with now-ex Tristan Thompson while Kourtney found love with Travis Barker.

Kourtney and Travis were never shy about showing off their chemistry — even when filming the arrival of their first baby together. During a 2024 episode of the show, Kourtney told mom Kris Jenner how she needed “to have sex” before going into labor.

“This is how you talk to your mother? This is wild. Sex is taking a priority to birth?” Kris asked her eldest child. “This is TMI and I don’t need to know this. The visual is just, no. Keep it to yourself.”

The Kardashian-Jenner Family’s Steamiest Sex Confessions Over the Years

Kourtney, however, stood by her hot take that sex was important to her before giving birth, adding, “Because then you can’t have sex for six weeks after.”

That same season, Kourtney surprised viewers when she recalled getting COVID after making out with Travis.

“We make out for six hours,” she shared in a May 2024 episode about how Travis started to feel warm. “Not a making-out type of warm. Like, really warm. … That first six hours of just making out, I got COVID.”

Not everything was safe enough to show on screen. In February 2025, The Kardashians surprised Us by bleeping an intimate conversation with various animal noises. During the episode, Henry Winkler’s daughter, Zoe, told Kim she has ever “tasted [meow] before” because she would “throw up.” This surprised Kim, who told Khloé the details, saying, “Zoe said she has never tasted [bark] before.”

The group appeared to be discussing their experience with oral sex. “I probably did but then I would [caw] it out. I have never like [baa] anyone’s. Ew, no,” Zoe noted, to which Khloé replied, “[I] don’t think you are missing anything in life.”

Khloé added: “I think they just want you to make them [quack], and they don’t really care what you do with it but it is not the most attractive to spit it out.”

Kim was the one censored the most after she said, “Do you guys know that [monkey howling] by [crowing]?” Hulu subsequently added sounds of “dolphins chittering” and “horses neighing.”

Trying Something New

In 2022, Travis and Kourtney got involved in a sex fast ahead of her pregnancy. “You can’t orgasm at all,” Kourtney revealed at a family dinner. “Because we were, like, what about oral sex? What about hands? What about feet?”

Kourtney also revealed her doctor’s unique suggestion for dealing with abnormal thyroid levels, adding, “He told me that the thing that would help it was drinking his [semen] like four times a week.”

Getting MJ Involved

After her split from Kanye, Kim dated Pete Davidson — and wasn’t afraid to discuss it in detail.

“Pete and I were staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel last weekend, and we were sitting in front of the fireplace just talking for hours,” Kim told her grandmother Mary Jo “MJ” Houghton in October 2022. “And I was like, ‘My grandmother told me that you really live life when you have sex in front of the fireplace.’ So we had sex in front of the fireplace in honor of you.”

Preferred Sex Spots

Corey asked Kris in an October 2023 episode if she remembered details about where their first kiss took place.

“In my backyard. No. First kiss? Where did we have our first kiss? Paris?” she asked before Corey admitted, “Do you want to know the good news? I don’t remember either. It wasn’t [at your house after dinner at Casa Vega], we were already hooking up by then.”

Kris was surprised how quickly she took the next step with Corey. She joked about being “such a ho” before discussing her sex life with Corey.

“Remember that drink, Sex on the Beach? And you could walk up to somebody and go, ‘Do you want a sex on the beach?’ Do you want to try a Sex on the Beach?” she asked Corey, who replied, “We did that … not in this beach. But we did that in the Maldives. Not in L.A. County, I am not into that one,” he admitted. “Out here we would get canceled.”

Fake Sex Hotline

During an episode of the hit Hulu series, Khloé outed her older sisters, sharing, “This mall has been around for years. You should ask Kourtney and Kim, they used to call 900 numbers [premium rate telephone numbers] and ask gentlemen to meet them here.”

Kim broke down her and Kourtney’s strategy. “We would talk to these guys — we were 15 — and then they would be like, ‘Meet me at Blockbuster or at the mall.’ And we would see the poor guy and we would stand him up,” she admitted in October 2023. “We would take a Polaroid, I have a book of Polaroids of these guys that we would stand up at the mall.”

Kim called Kourtney, who still remembered the number they used. Kim called in while filming her hit Hulu reality series and the automatic message for the service stated, “This is [redacted], where naughty is nice. Your live chat starts now.”

Celebrities Share Sex Confessions Over the Years

Her Bedroom Preferences

Kim discussed her sex preferences during a dinner with Scott Disick, sharing in October 2023, “I pretty much have the lights off now. It is so weird. But then, I can walk out in a thong of a photoshoot with 100 people working on set. But if it’s, like, you’re there with me I am like, ‘Wait don’t look at me. Turn the lights off.'”

Having Sex While Dilated

“I have been in this hospital room overnight and nothing is happening. I was three centimeters dilated up until 4 a.m. and then nothing progressed,” Kourtney detailed in June 2024. “I am not feeling stressed, but then another part of me feels like did we come too early?”

She continued: “We went home, ate at Crossroads, showered, slept in our bed and then we have sex to get things going to see if that helps. That can help sometimes.”

Joking About Her Preferences

Khloé poked fun at friend Malika Haqq hitting her by accident, saying in March 2025, “That is fine. I actually like to be hit a little bit. I like a little aggression. Strangle me, spit on me, whatever it takes. I am kidding.”

Shania Twain initially penned one track from her discography with Celine Dion in mind — but never told her.

“‘From This Moment On’ is the one I least expected to be so big and so timeless because I really didn’t want to record the song myself. I wrote it because I wanted Celine Dion to sing it,” Twain, 59, confessed in the latest Us Weekly cover story, while discussing the final dates of her Queen of Me Tour. (The Live Nation tour begins in Buffalo, New York, on July 19 and concludes August 1 in Hollywood, Florida.)

Twain explained that she “didn’t have access” to Dion, 56, at the time, noting, “She probably didn’t even know who I was.” Instead, Twain’s producer insisted that the tune should go on her record.

“I’m like, ‘Oh, brother.’ I wrote the wrong song for my voice because I was thinking about Celine Dion. I was really thinking about it being this pop power ballad, but it worked for me,” Twain told Us. “It’s really a big, big ballad for me.”

Twain “never did mention” her intention to Dion. “I figure that’s too late now. It’s already my hit. She can’t have it now,” Twain joked with a laugh.

While taking a trip down memory lane with her several hits, Twain recalled calling out Brad Pitt in her late ‘90s anthem “That Don’t Impress Me Much.” In the tune, Twin sings, “You think you’re something else / OK, so you’re Brad Pitt.”

To this day, Twain claimed Pitt, 61, has “never reached out to say, ‘Please, would you take my name out of this song?’ or anything like that. Hopefully he finds it funny.”

With a career spanning several decades and more than 100 million records sold worldwide (she’s the best-selling female country artist of all time!), Twain told Us that she doesn’t “have anything left to prove.”

“Even thinking about age, I don’t feel like I need to prove to anyone that I look younger than I am. I’d rather focus more on the things that I can change or contribute to — I can create magic through music, and I have a lot I want to achieve and have fun with, whether it’s music or film. I’d like to write and produce another artist’s album,” she told Us. “There’s just so many things. I keep saying I’m going to have to live to be 120!”
