The former Real Housewives of BeverlyHills star, 43, underwent her final radiation treatment on Thursday, April 3, and marked the occasion by ringing her hospital’s cancer bell.
Mellencamp documented the moment via her Instagram Stories on Thursday. In a video, the reality star said she had gotten her “graduation papers” and read from a plaque under the bell. She then rang the bell three times before hugging and celebrating with friends off-camera, who congratulated her.
“Ringing the bell can signify a major phase of treatment — today was my last day of radiation,” Mellencamp wrote over the video. “5 more rounds of immunotherapy to go. Love you all for the kind messages.”
Earlier Thursday, the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast host gave an update on her cancer treatment. “Today’s a pretty big day,” she said in a video. “Today’s supposed to be my final day of radiation, granted it was supposed to be last week, but then they found those pesky four more tumors.”
Keeping her spirits up, Mellencamp wore a yellow T-shirt emblazoned with the words, “I’m a ray of f****** sunshine.”

“I wore a nice shirt … just in case I do get to ring my bell,” she said. “I have a pretty good feeling.”
Mellencamp first revealed in February that she was to undergo surgery for multiple brain tumors. She’s been undergoing treatment ever since and revealed that in late March, doctors found four more tumors on her brain.
The Bravo alum added, “This is definitely the hardest thing [I’ve faced in my life], but now it feels less hard. When I was in the ICU, it was incredibly difficult because I had no memory. One day, I realized it was my daughter’s birthday, and I couldn’t be there for it; it was really sad. It’s still sad when I can’t be there for my kids the way I’d normally be.”
Mellencamp also shared that she’s been dealing with her health issues by embracing humor.
“Everybody wants me to be super positive all the time. One of my coping mechanisms is being sarcastic,” she explained. “I’d rather joke about it and have the best possible outcome than be completely in denial and have my heart broken.”
Hailee Steinfeld has reacted to the warm reception she’s received from the people of Buffalo, New York after getting engaged to football star Josh Allen.
The singer, 28, appeared on the Thursday, April 3 edition of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and was congratulated on her recent engagement to the Buffalo Bills quarterback.
“I have been given a very warm welcome, the people are incredible,” she said. “It’s such a wonderful, wonderful place. I love it so much.”
During the interview with Steinfeld, Fallon showed the singer and the audience a photo of a billboard that had been erected in the city after the couple announced their engagement via Instagram in November 2024.
The billboard read: “The Queen City has a new queen. Congratulations Josh and Hailee.”
Reacting to the billboard, Steinfeld admitted it was one of the “cooler” things to have happened to her since revealing she’s set to walk down the aisle.
Steinfeld and the athlete shared their engagement via a joint Instagram post last year, which was captioned simply “ 11•22•24 .” The post contained a photo from Allen’s romantic waterfront proposal.
Allen, 28, proposed at sunset in front of a flower arch while down on one knee and the snap showed Steinfeld kissing her new fiancé.
The sports star shared further details of the proposal in a December 2024 edition of Steinfeld’s “Beau Society” newsletter, writing, “I said, ‘I couldn’t wait any longer.’ I said, ‘I can’t wait to start a family with you.’ I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said ‘please.’”
He added: “You were extremely surprised, you said yes, and that was all that mattered to me. And the sun was out. It feels unbelievable to be engaged to someone who is so special and loving and caring and gorgeous and fun and happy.”
The relatively private couple made their red carpet debut at the NFL Honors in February, posing together hand in hand at the event held in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“They don’t want a long engagement, and the wedding planning is already underway,” the source told Us. “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.”
Jennifer Lopezwas a sartorial sensation as she stepped out for the opening night of Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck.
Posing on the red carpet at the Winter Garden Theater in New York on Thursday, April 3, Lopez, 55, stunned in a statement-making white caftan cape with oversized shoulder detailing.
The Unstoppable star unveiled the figure-hugging number underneath when she removed the cape to reveal her stunning black floor-length dress which featured a plunging V-cut neckline.
Lopez teamed the strapless velvet gown with a matching black clutch and accessorized with a pair of drop earrings as well as a necklace that featured black and gold jewels. Meanwhile, several rings adorned the star’s fingers.
For her hair style, Lopez opted for a sleek and sophisticated straightened ‘do with a middle part. The simple style helped to complement rather than overwhelm her overall look.
Lopez attended the opening night in support of her former Out of Sight costar George Clooney, who made his Broadway debut in the play. Good Night, and Good Luck is the stage adaptation of the 2005 film of the same name which was directed by and starred Clooney. The story line centers on CBS news journalist Edward R. Murrow and his 1954 exposé on Senator Joseph McCarthy.

In the film version, Clooney played producer Fred Friendly. On stage two decades later, Clooney now holds the lead role of Murrow.
Clooney and the rest of the Good Night, and Good Luck cast also had support in the form of stars such as Cindy Crawford, Hugh Jackman, Uma Thurman, Kylie Minogue and Jim Parsons who all attended the opening night.

Also in attendance were the actor’s former E.R. costars Julianna Margulies and Anthony Edwards, who had a mini reunion as they showed up to support Clooney as he made his Broadway debut.
Pierce Brosnan, Monica Lewinsky, Richard Kind and Matthew Rhys were also among those who stepped out for the star-studded event.
Lopez’s outing comes after her highly publicized divorce from Ben Affleck, who she married in July 2022. Lopez filed for a dissolution of marriage from Affleck on August 20, 2024. The former couple finalized the divorce in January this year, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly at the time.
Lopez and Affleck’s love story traces back more than 20 years. The actors met on the set of Gigli in 2001, before becoming engaged in November 2002. They were initially scheduled to get married in September 2003, but they called off their wedding days before the planned ceremony. They confirmed their split in January 200 before eventually rekindling their romance in May 2021 and becoming engaged in April 2022.
Asked about Van Der Beek, who revealed his stage 3 colorectal cancer diagnosis last year, Williams, 44, told ETon Wednesday April 2 she was “absolutely” in touch with the actor following the news.
“We’re in contact, and he’s in our hearts and our minds, and he knows that. And we’re here for him in every and all ways,” she told the outlet, although she did not clarify who the collective “we” referred to.
Alongside Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson, Williams and Van Der Beek worked together on the hit teen drama which aired from 1998 to 2003.
Although the show attracted millions of fans, it appears Williams’ daughter, Matilda, 19, may not be among them. (Williams shares Matilda with the late Heath Ledger, who died in 2008.)
“I don’t think so,” Williams replied. “No, she’s been really busy watching all seven seasons of New Girl for the eighth time.”

Van Der Beek first revealed his cancer diagnosis in November 2024 in an interview with People.
“I’ve been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it, with the support of my incredible family,” he explained at the time. “There’s reason for optimism, and I’m feeling good.”
To mark his 48th birthday in March, the Varsity Blues actor reflected on the tough year he’d faced due to his health battle.
“This year, I had to look my own mortality in the eye. I came nose to nose with death,” he said in a video shared via his Instagram.
Van Der Beek added that he defined himself as a family man but his cancer diagnosis put this idea he had of himself into disarray. (The actor has been married to his wife Kimberley since 2010 and the couple share six children: Olivia, 14, Joshua, 13, Annabel, 11, Emilia, 8, Gwendolyn, 6, Jeremiah, 2)
“All of those definitions that I cared so deeply about were stripped from me. I was away for treatment so I could no longer be a husband who was helpful to my wife,” he said. “I could no longer be a father who could pick up his kids and put them to bed and be there for them.”
Grey’s Anatomy star Kim Raver was shocked by Teddy and Owen’s decision to open their marriage — but more than ready to take on the challenge as an actress and director.
“It’s such a tricky topic, and we’ve never done it on Grey’s. Everyone you talk to has very strong feelings about it. Kevin [McKidd]and I were really worried, like, ‘OK, wait, this is really tricky terrain.’ We both love this couple and the years that we’ve been building it [along with showrunner] Meg [Marinis] and the writers,” Raver, 56, told Us Weekly during an exclusive interview ahead of the Thursday, April 3, episode of the medical drama. “Grey’s has also never shied away from really intense, controversial topics, so this is such a fun one to do.”
Raver credited Marinis for how she approached the story line.
“Meg has been so incredible. We had several sit-downs on [discussing], ‘How do we protect the characters that we love in this situation but also open up, so to speak, the dialogue about it?’” she explained. “Teddy and Owen have been arguing for so long and they’re not getting along. When we were talking with Meg, it came from a place where Owen and Teddy love each other so deeply that they’re not ready to walk away from the relationship. So what do you do?”
While Teddy and Owen established in the March 27 episode that one of the rules of their open marriage is to keep things physical and not establish an emotional connection with someone else, Raver agreed with Us that that would be difficult for these characters.
“Teddy and Owen are so emotional! And their whole relationship has always been very bumpy, tumultuous,” Raver said before referencing Teddy’s past affair with Tom Koracick (Greg Germann). “My big thing to Meg was, Teddy really messed up when she cheated and if Teddy has evolved at all, it can’t be just a silly, open marriage. It has to be much deeper and much more layered. I think even the fans responded, like, ‘Oh, thank God. They’re finally being honest.’”
On Thursday’s episode, Teddy is reunited with fellow trauma surgeon Cass (Sophia Bush), who is in an open marriage of her own with husband David.
“She is so fantastic,” Raver gushed of Bush. “She is super intelligent, super generous. For an actress to come into a group that’s been together for so long and be so positive — she’s an incredible addition.”
While the two women previously felt sparks during a November 2024 episode, Teddy pulled away. This time, Teddy and Cass acted on their feelings.
“We’re doing this love scene together and I would be like, ‘Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I have an idea.’ And she’d be like, ‘Wait, what?’ Mid-kiss! And then she’d be like, ‘OK, great, let’s do that,’” Raver said of directing their makeout. “It just was incredible to have such an amazing partner who has such fabulous qualities of generosity, intelligence, laughter, ease and professionalism. We’re so lucky to have her playing Cass because it’s a complicated role. Everyone loves her. I felt so lucky. She’s really a woman who supports other women.”
Raver added that she thinks Bush “makes the whole relationship stand out.”
“On camera, she has this incredible, like, sparkle about her,” she continued. “It’s this effortless, really wonderful quality. It’s not someone coming in and breaking up a marriage. Her character is really illuminating that there are other ways than the traditional ways of having a relationship, and that everyone has to choose their own path.”
Raver noted that Cass is “not forcing” anything on Teddy. “What’s cool about this episode is Teddy’s like, ‘I’m fully ready to have that conversation,’” she said. “It’s also about consent, and I think that that’s a really important thing. Consent from all ends — consent from Owen, consent from Cass, Teddy being mature and cool on her end. It’s a very mindful exploration of this open marriage.”
While Teddy and Cass get hot and heavy for a minute, fans see Teddy actually changes her mind mid-makeout.
“I think it’s really amazing that Teddy comes to the realization before, like, making love. She’s like, ‘This is not gonna fix my marriage. I thought this was gonna be a fix,’” Raver told Us. “For her, she realizes it feels too much like cheating, and it feels too much like the road that she had been on before.”
Owen, for his part, spends the episode with Nora (Floriana Lima) — and does have sex with her.
“It’s so many layers and is so complicated,” Raver said. “Floriana is another amazing, generous, fantastic, talented, woman. I had to choreograph the love scene; It’s very choreographed. We have an intimacy coordinator, but Sophia, Floriana were just such rock stars in terms of being able to delineate Teddy and our relationship, but then me directing. They were so open to trying things and playing around with things.”
Raver also laughed about being the one to direct McKidd with a new love interest. “Me telling Kevin, like, ‘OK, I need you to kiss her more, bring the comforter down more’ — I felt so excited to tell the story and it made it very easy,” she said.
At the end of the episode, fans are left unsure of what is next for Owen and Teddy.
“I wanted the ‘oh my God’ moment where people are throwing things at the television, going, ‘What?!’” Raver told Us. “The way it goes to black, and there’s this a cappella music playing. I wanted that to be so shocking.”
Raver also warns fans to get ready for the remaining episodes in the season.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen with them, and that’s so sad and scary. It’s definitely gonna be a roller-coaster,” she said. “We just finished the finale and I’m not gonna give anything away. I would just say, ‘Buckle up.’”
Grey’s Anatomy airs on ABC Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET.
It was a family affair for Kaia Gerber and her famous parents as they stepped out for the opening night of Broadway production, Good Night, and Good Luck.
Kaia, 23, joined her mom Cindy Crawford, 59, and her dad, Rande Gerber, 62, for the outing in New York on Thursday, April 3.
The trio posed for photos together on the red carpet ahead of seeing the stage adaption, which is based on the 2005 movie starring George Clooney. The plot follows CBS news journalist Edward R. Murrow and his 1954 exposé on Senator Joseph McCarthy.
While Kaia and her parents were all smiles at the event, notably missing was Kaia’s brother Presley Gerber, 25, who did not attend the opening.
Cindy and Rande’s relationship is still going strong after more than two decades of marriage. The couple tied the knot back in 1998 and welcomed their first child, son Presley, in July 1999. Kaia was born two years later in September 2001.
“We met at my agent’s wedding. When I met him I was still with Richard [Gere] and he didn’t want to go to the wedding with me,” Crawford told Harper’s Bazaar in July 2016 of how they met. “Rande also had a girlfriend at the time so he wasn’t looking to meet anyone either. That’s the best time to meet someone because that’s when you’re truly yourselves. We became friends and after Richard and I broke up then we started dating.

Cindy shot to fame as one of the most well known supermodels in the 1990s and Kaia has since followed in her mother’s footsteps, working as a model.
Prior to Kaia joining the industry, Cindy told Us Weekly that she wanted to assist her daughter if she decided to try her hand at modeling.
“I could help guide her and help her navigate,” she told Us in 2014. “I had a great experience and managed to avoid a lot of the pitfalls of the fashion business. So if she did want to do it, I could be her stage mom!”
Opening up in the second series of the mother and daughter’s ZaraStreaming project, Kaia shared how she had taken style cues from Cindy.
“I think I’ve been so influenced by her, be that consciously or subconsciously but we are also different in a lot of ways,” she said. “But we have a lot of the same classic pieces but how we put things together differs.”
Cindy added in the clip: “I grew up in Illinois and my mom didn’t care about fashion and then Kaia grew up with her and her friends raiding my closet!”
Matty’s secret being discovered is only the beginning as Matlock plans to keep the surprises coming.
During the Thursday, April 3 episode, Sarah (Leah Lewis) is worried that Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) is planning to leave Jacobson Moore after she got help from a fellow attorney on the Johnson file. Sarah tried to get Matty (Kathy Bates) to find out more, to no avail. But the truth ultimately came out when Matty made the journey back home — only to run into Olympia.
The run-in revealed that Olympia was onto Matty’s lies for a while, which calls into question their friendship and Matty’s future at the firm. Luckily, Us Weekly caught up with showrunnerr Jennie Snyder Urman at PaleyFest to get a hint at what comes next.
“When we get to a new problem in storytelling, I really sit in the character’s emotion on how they would respond. I’m always surprised with what comes out as I think about it — like how they push through — or how each character tells me how they would react,” Urman, 49, told Us about dealing with onscreen challenges. “The more we dig into the human experience — and just the more interesting and surprising ways that people behave — it keeps coming to the forefront.”
She continued: “I’m constantly surprised by the characters and what the writers’ room brings in. Also just how we can keep twisting the story and make it more. [It is all about] keeping it fresh and interesting.”

“The season 1 finale sets up everything. In season 2, you’ll get the answers that we’ve been promising,” Urman hinted. “It sets up something new. You’ll end up with great conflict between characters and a lot of different motivations come to a head. It leaves a lot of drama and fun to unpack in the second season.”
Matlock, which premiered in September 2024, follows a wealthy retired lawyer named Madeline Kingston (Bates) who pretends to be a poor widower named Matty Matlock to get a job at a firm. As it turns out, Matty thinks someone at the company is complicit in the opioid epidemic that resulted in her daughter’s death.
The plan to take down Jacobson Moore doesn’t exactly go as planned since Matty finds herself growing closer to Olympia (Marshall), Billy (David Del Rio), Sarah (Lewis) and more of her coworkers that don’t seem to be aware of the corruption at the firm.
After Matlock was renewed, director and executive producer Kat Coiropreviewed how the show keeps building off the original twist.
“What’s so brilliant about the show and Jennie’s writing is that it’s very incremental and character-based. The twists have a lot to do with psychology rather than relying on big external factors or plot shifts,” Coiro explained in November 2024. “You get so invested in these characters that small revelations become really exciting.”
“It’s easier to get away with that the more invested everybody becomes in the characters. Definitely the twist in the pilot was the biggest,” she noted. “Because you think you’re watching a pretty standard procedural about a fish out of water in a law firm. Then suddenly you introduce this story line that now has to carry two plots and two different sets of characters through every episode.”
Coiro praised the show’s writers’ room for finding ways to keep each episode feeling new, adding, “I think subtlety of the progression and the fact that it’s not moving forward at an incredibly rapid rate is part of what makes it sustainable.”
Matlock airs on CBS Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET and is currently streaming on Paramount+.
We’re admittedly a tad nosey when it comes to A-listers and their skincare routines. So when Kate Hudson shared that she uses the Mount Lai De-Puffing Jade Facial Roller as part of her regimen, we made a mental note. Back in 2022, the 45-year-old actress told Vogue that after applying a hydrogel mask — the Neutrogena Moisturizing Hydro Boost Hydrating Face Mask, to be specific — she then rolls the tool along her face to make sure the product fully absorbs. The result? Skin that’s hydrated, refreshed and de-puffed.
While you can store this beauty tool in the freezer, the jade green face roller is naturally cooling on its own, making it ideal for those with sensitive and inflamed skin. It’s a great option to use first thing in the morning, as it will help invigorate and wake up the skin while reducing any puffiness.
Mount Lai offers the face roller isn’t just available in jade, either. It comes in a few other stones, all of which produce various effects. Amethyst works to boost elasticity, rose quartz improves circulation and tone, while black obsidian naturally retains warmth and is best for congested, acne-prone skin. In any case, all options will help relieve tension in the face while balancing and de-puffing at the same time.
When using the jade face roller, the brand recommends beginning in the center of the face and rolling toward the outer perimeters. Once you reach your eyebrows, roll upwards toward the forehead, and if you’re working on the lower part of your face, roll downwards across the chin. What’s cool is that the dual-sided tool comes with a larger end for your cheeks, forehead and chin, as well as a smaller end for hard-to-reach areas, like under the eyes.
Hudson isn’t the only fan of the roller, of course. One Amazon shopper, who rolls her face for five minutes a day, wrote: “I received compliments from coworkers asking what I am doing to my face, only after two weeks of results I feel the difference. Wrinkles seem to be lighter and dry patches are gone.”
Despite being a celebrity-approved pick, the roller won’t cost you hundreds or thousands. Shop it on Amazon now for just $34!
Justin Baldoniand his legal team have quoted Ryan Reynolds, who made a remark about drinking “blood” of his “enemies,” in their dismissal reply as their legal battle continues.
In the legal documents obtained by Us Weekly on Thursday, April 3, Baldoni’s legal team cited a quote from Reynolds which was made on July 12, 2024.
“I’ve realized that I’m too big to fail at this point, so I just crush my enemies and drink their Blood,” Reynolds, 48, is quoted as saying, per the documents.
Baldoni, 41, and his team are arguing that Reynolds’ motion to dismiss Baldoni’s lawsuit — which was filed on March 18 — should be denied. The quote is one of the examples they are using to argue that Reynolds was acting as a co-conspirator with his wife Blake Lively, 37, who filed a lawsuit in December 2024, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her. (Baldoni has denied all claims against him.)
Also in December, Baldoni sued Lively for defamation, seeking $400 million in damages. He named Reynolds in the lawsuit filing — which Reynolds is now seeking to dismiss. (Reynolds and Lively have also denied all claims against them.)
In the documents Baldoni’s attorneys argued that Reynolds “pretends that the Wayfarer Parties’ First Amended Complaint (the ‘FAC’) fails to set forth any basis for his liability and that he merely acted as a supportive spouse. Not so.”
The filing continued: “The FAC specifically alleges ample facts to support the Wayfarer Parties’ claims against him, based on both his direct actions and his liability as a co-conspirator.”
Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman doubled down on their filing in a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday April 3.
“Ms. Lively and her circle of Hollywood elites cannot prevent my clients from exercising their constitutional right to petition the court to clear their names from her false and harmful claims,” the statement read. “What Ms. Lively is attempting to do is to set a dangerous precedent by barring the courthouse doors to my clients and punishing them for having their day in court, a right protected by the First Amendment. This right protects not only Mr. Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties in this particular case, but all Americans in the future who have false accusations levied against them and seek relief from our justice system. This must stop here, and we will continue to fight against this blatant attempt to block access to the court system and to weaken our nation’s Constitution to serve those who are in the position of power. “

A spokesperson for Reynolds addressed the latest filing in a statement to Us.
“The main takeaway from the Wayfarer Parties’ opposition to Ryan’s motion to dismiss their case is that they finally realize the plain defects in their complaint,” the statement read. “They once again claim defamation without alleging who was defamed, what specifically was said, or how anyone suffered actual harm.”
The statement continued: “Unlike Mr. Baldoni, who built his brand pretending to be a man who is ‘confident enough to listen’ to the women in his life, Ryan Reynolds actually is that man and he will continue to support his wife as she stands up to the individuals who not only harassed her but then have retaliated against her. Under New York law, California law, and indeed in every jurisdiction of the United States this lawsuit not only fails but may result in the Wayfarer Parties covering Ryan’s costs and attorneys’ fees for bringing such a frivolous case in the first place.”
Baldoni and Lively have been embroiled in drama since they worked together on It Ends With Us, the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel. Following rumors of feud while they were promoting the film in July 2024, Lively confirmed animosity between the pair by accusing Baldoni, her costar and director on the film, of sexual harassment and conducting a smear campaign against her.
Baldoni denied the allegations and subsequently filed his own $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and the actress’ publicist. Lively and Reynolds both filed paperwork to dismiss the lawsuit while the publicist requested to be removed from the lawsuit.
Craig Conover found himself in the hot seat during part 2 of the Southern Charm season 10 reunion after his castmates called him out for his temper.
“You’re from, like, an ivory tower, man, sometimes of, like, superiority,” Austen Kroll claimed during the Thursday, April 3, episode of the Bravo series.
Craig, 36, argued that wasn’t the case, saying, “That’s f***ed up. If he thinks that, then we don’t need to hang anymore.”
Craig got fired up, adding, “If you think I look down on you, you know that’s not my character. … If you think that I think that I’m better than you, you shouldn’t be friends with me.”
Austen, 38, explained that he’s been “battling” with his own feelings about Craig all season. “Why continue on if I’m just going to get backhanded for stepping out of line?” Austen asked. “It’s a crazy concept that I don’t have with anyone else.”
Craig replied, “I can’t control the way that you perceive my actions,” to which Shep Rose asked, “Isn’t that gaslighting?”
Leva Bonaparte later confessed, “I think you have a bit of an addictive personality,” acknowledging that Craig opening up about his alcohol problem this season was powerful.
“If you were to open up, this entire friend group would scoop you up and have your back,” Leva explained, noting that Shep and Austen were put in his life to have “balance.”
The majority of the cast also raised their hands and confessed that Craig “scared” them because of his “temper.” Craig, meanwhile, said, “I’m working on it.”

“The funny thing is I was working on myself to not react to signs,” Craig said when asked whether he knew Paige DeSorbo was distancing herself from their relationship pre-split. “She stopped visiting me in Charleston but it was because she was ‘too busy.’ She never came to the Nashville store, but it was [because] she was ‘too busy.’”
Craig confessed, “It was a confusing relationship to be in sometimes.” (Paige, 32, broke up with Craig in November 2024 after three years together.)
Looking back, Craig said, “I was in love with not reality. I was in love with the potential of what I thought we could be. I was blinded by wanting to make it work, I guess.”
Venita Has Receipts
During the second part of the reunion, Venita Aspen brought out her phone to reveal when Jarrett “JT” Thomas last reached out to her amid their feud. (Venita and JT briefly dated in fall 2024, but after he went Instagram official with another woman in November, Venita stopped talking to him.)
Venita explained that in October 2024 after the Southern Charm trailer dropped, JT texted her to say, “I’m reaching out to make sure you’re OK.” His message came after she told him she needed time following an onslaught of alleged mean messages from his girlfriend.
Venita admitted she didn’t respond because she was at a friend’s wedding, which is when JT claimed he felt he was ghosted. “After a week of trying with someone I cared about I said, ‘I gotta move on,’” he recalled.
Venita noted that after one week of silence from her, JT went public with his new relationship, which is what hurt her so badly. “I’m not going to allow myself to work on our friendship with her in the picture because I know she does not like me,” she concluded.
Throughout the season, JT and Craig butted heads, especially when Craig claimed JT called Patricia Altschul a bitch. JT denied he ever said that, but Craig remained adamant that he was telling the truth.
Salley Carson, Madison LeCroy and Austen all said during the reunion that they believed JT called Patricia a bitch, but the rest of the cast backed JT. “You look like the handsome boy who cried wolf,” JT told Craig.
Craig, meanwhile, told JT that if he took away the bitch comment, everything else that JT told Craig about Madison and Austen was “way worse.” (JT previously claimed Madison’s husband, Brett Randle, was worried they hooked up during a past cast trip, which Madison slammed him for. JT also alleged that Austen was unfaithful to his girlfriend, Audrey Pratt, which Austen denied.)
Shep noted that “90 percent” of what Craig told the group was “spot-on,” adding that the bitch comment was part of the 10 percent he fabricated. Craig and JT ended the episode without anything resolved.
Patricia Clarifies Paige Comments
Earlier this year, Patricia told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that Craig’s ex Paige was “mean” to him during their three-year relationship. “I took a lot of criticism for saying that,” Patricia said during the reunion. “People said, ‘Oh, you’re not a career-oriented, independent woman.’ Which is totally incorrect. I’ve always worked.”
She clarified, “My point was that it was dismissive and bordered on being rude. It was the way that she said it.”
Taylor Takes a Jab at Shep

After Shep called ex Taylor Ann Green’s current boyfriend, Gaston Rojas, “mid” on the show (i.e. average), he apologized for his actions during the reunion. “At this point I just care about her, and I never will stop doing that,” Shep said.
“What’s frustrating is hearing you say you care a whole hell of a lot. Why didn’t you care when you had your tongue down some other girl’s throat?” Taylor asked, referring to Shep’s cheating past. “You cared a little too late.” (Taylor and Shep called it quits in summer 2022 after dating more than two years.)
Craig Shares More Paige Ring Details
Craig recalled designing Paige’s engagement ring in New York, describing it as “a four-carat elongated cushion cut with a half carat of diamonds around the band.”
After previously revealing that Paige put his proposal on hold, Craig confessed, “Looking back, it didn’t feel totally right. I was nervous but not the good type of nervous.” He added that in time he’ll bring the ring “back to the jeweler.”
Salley and Taylor Aren’t Friends
Salley and Taylor didn’t see eye-to-eye during season 10 after Salley hooked up with Taylor’s ex Shep before dating another man she was linked to, Andrew Dietz. (Salley exclusively told Us Weekly in February that she and Andrew split “a month after filming” in 2024.)
Taylor and Salley’s biggest issue was over Taylor’s now-boyfriend, Gaston, whom Salley dated first. “You went around trashing my boyfriend,” Taylor claimed, referring to Salley slamming Gaston throughout the season. Salley alleged, “You’re still running your mouth about me today.”
Taylor, meanwhile, took issue with Salley talking bad about Gaston to the group before they even met him in person. “You came in and infiltrated and leveraged my fractured friendship with the girls,” Taylor said, arguing, “He’s not this a**hole that you make him out to be.” Salley claimed, “He was an a**hole to me.”
When asked whether she thought they could be friends, Salley said, “Not while she’s dating Gaston.” Taylor then revealed, “I guess we won’t ever be friends.”
Taylor then revealed she thinks Gaston is The One. Talking about when they’ll get engaged, she teased, “I’m thinking this year.”
During season 10, Craig offered Austen $30,000 to buy him out of their “Pillows & Beer” podcast after claiming that Austen wasn’t taking the job seriously.
“I wasn’t that shocked,” Austen said about the lowball offer. Craig chimed in, “We’re so bad at communicating. We didn’t know what to do anymore. I was so frustrated at Austen. In my mind, I knew his goals. In my mind, he wasn’t doing the stuff that he needed to do to get there.”
Craig explained that after he “changed [my] relationship with alcohol” his career took off, and he wanted that for Austen.
“He does not have a drinking problem,” Craig clarified, before Andy reminded him that on the show he accused Austen of “showing up hungover” to record their podcast or that he was “Xanied out.”
Austen confirmed during the reunion, “I do not have a Xanax problem. Craig will say these things to make it look like I’m the problem. It’s not the truth at all. … I don’t even think that I go out anymore.”
Craig then claimed he does “respect” Austen but confessed, “For some reason, seeing Austen drink makes me mad.” Austen acknowledged that as the truth.

Despite having issues, Austen said that after Craig confided in him about his alcohol struggles, he felt closer to him. “It’s harder for us for some reason to be complexly open and vulnerable,” Austen explained. “So when Craig decided to open up to me, it made me emotional. Because there is a genuine love and care for Craig. I f***ing love you.”
Craig confessed that after hearing Austen and the rest of the group’s reservations about him and his temper, “It sucks that you guys think that about me.” He vowed, “I will work on it. I hear you, it’s just unexpected.”
Austen admitted, “I feel like I try to keep the peace sometimes to a fault,” but he plans to be more communicative. Craig and Austen left the set smiling at one another, hinting they’d work it out. They have since been spotted on vacation together.
Antony Starr teased he already knows what’s in store for the final season of The Boys.
“I’m six episodes deep and I know what happens. I know where it ends up, and I love it,” Starr, 49, said on the Monday, March 31, episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. “I think it’s great. I think it’s challenging in a good way.”
Starr hinted that season 5, which will drop next year, is “very challenging for the characters” in addition to the viewers at home.
“I think it’ll be challenging for the audience in a good way and unexpected. True to form, this show has never done what it thinks is the right thing or what it should,” he explained. “It’s not adhered to any formula — it does its own thing.”
“I’ve got a lot of faith in [Kripke] and whilst, you know, I read it and my jaw hit the floor,” Starr said. “I have a lot of faith in him now as well so I think it’s going to be good.”
Starr has been on The Boys since its 2019 premiere. The actor portrays Homelander who is the strong leader of The Seven. While the character is viewed by the public as a noble hero, his persona behind closed doors is the opposite as he does not care about the wellbeing of those he was sworn to protect.
In addition to Starr, The Boys features a star-studded ensemble cast including Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie and Claudia Doumit.
Last year, Kripke, 50, announced that The Boys would come to an end with its fifth and final season.
“#TheBoys Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season! Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final OK from Vought,” the showrunner wrote via X in June 2024 referring to Vought International, the fictional corporation that manages superheroes in the drama. “Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax.”
If you have a rectangle-shaped body, you know the struggle — finding clothes that add definition in all the right places without feeling like you’re trying too hard. Maybe you’ve tried belted dresses that just sit awkwardly or high-waisted pants that somehow make everything look boxy instead of snatched. The key? Pieces that create the illusion of curves while still feeling effortless. Think waist-cinching silhouettes, strategic draping and flowy fabrics.
Whether you want a little extra shape for a night out or just want your everyday outfits to feel more balanced, these 15 picks accomplish the heavy lifting. From peplum tops to curve-enhancing skirts, get ready to fake an hourglass figure without the shapewear.
1. Dream Duo: This lightweight, summer-ready set delivers the illusion of curves with a flared peplum top that cinches at the waist. It’s comfy enough for all-day wear but polished enough for brunch plans.
2. Waist-Maker: Consider this shirt the ultimate throw-on-and-go top that adds shape without the effort. The babydoll cut nips in at the right places, creating a more defined waist. Choose from six colors to match your vibe.
3. Y2K Vibes: If you love a throwback trend, then these cargo pants are for you. The adjustable fit helps create more shape around the waist and hips while the billowy fabric adds movement.
4. Hourglass Effect: When in doubt, peplum is the answer. This flattering top hugs the torso and flares at just the right spot, making it an easy way to define your waist. Bonus: The fabric has a mild stretch for extra comfort.
5. Flowy Tunic Tank: A long, drapey tank that skims your frame and adds dimension? Yes, please. This pick is soft but structured enough to layer over leggings or shorts for a laid-back, figure-enhancing look.
6. Snatched and Sleek: The ruching on this pencil skirt works magic, highlighting curves and smoothing everything out. It’s polished enough for work but comfy enough to wear all day.
7. High-Waist Chic: A mix of sporty and chic, these soft, flowy pants cinch the waist while giving you that effortless wide-leg silhouette. They’re perfect for travel, lounging or dressing up with a cute crop top.
8. Cinch and Slay: A tie-waist detail is a must for faking an hourglass shape. These lightweight pants define your midsection while the relaxed cut gives your outfit a stylish, put-together feel.
9. Twirl-Worthy Dress: The halter neckline on this beach dress draws attention upward, while the pleats and flowy cut create movement.
10. Easy Breezy Tunic Dress: Breezy and comfortable, this dress is all about effortless drape. Add a belt or let it flow — it’s a versatile pick that works for casual and dressy moments alike.
11. Cinched Maxi: This dress works overtime, pulling in at the waist and flowing over the hips for a flattering, defined silhouette. It’s giving romantic, effortlessly put-together energy.
12. Gingham Charm: The structured bodice and flared skirt make this an easy pick for adding shape. The playful gingham print gives it that classic, feminine charm.
13. Boho Babe: Tiered skirts are a cheat code for volume, and this boho maxi delivers with a waist-defining fit and flowy layers that create movement.
14. Curve Booster: This boho-inspired skirt does it all: adds shape, moves beautifully and works with any top. Pair it with a tucked-in tee or a cropped tank for an easy, curve-enhancing outfit.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Shanola Hampton were very surprised by Found fans rooting for a Sir and Gabi romance — especially since they were never trying to sell the controversial relationship as an option on the show.
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Gosselaar, 51, addressed the scene-stealing chemistry between him and Hampton, 47, saying, “Well, it’s not something we ever work on, It just happened organically. It’s always been that way.”
Gosselaar noted that he and Hampton “just got lucky” as costars. “Sometimes you don’t need to like the person in real life for there to be chemistry on the screen. That’s not our case. We really enjoy each other’s company and I consider [Shanola] a really good friend. So that just bleeds through the lines that are all there,” he explained. “As you said, it’s written this way. So when I’m saying these lines, I just have to understand Sir’s deep affection for Gabi — and his love for her.”
“It’s just that when he sees her, she brightens him. She’s just a part that he needs and that he wants. It helps that Shanola is a really good person and she’s a really fine actor,” he continued. “But as actors, we should be able to have that chemistry with anyone. Maybe when you see us actually together off set, [you see] we really enjoy each other and maybe people confuse that with [our characters on screen]. It just bleeds on the screen. But I think Shanola is a good enough actor that she could find that chemistry with almost anyone.”

Found, which premiered in 2023, follows public relations specialist and crisis manager Gabi Mosely (Hampton) and her team of associates as they work to find missing people who have been ignored or forgotten by law enforcement.
While Found primarily focuses on the cases themselves, it also centers around Gabi and Sir’s relationship. The NBC series introduced their dynamic with Gabi kidnapping Sir in the present timeline — as viewers learned from flashbacks about how Sir kidnapped Gabi when she was a teenager.
“You could look at it in another way and go, ‘It’s really disgusting and disturbing how committed he is to this individual.’ There’s two sides to it,” Gosselaar argued about his character’s twisted intentions. “That’s the challenge that I think our writers have and I have every week when I get the dialogue is how to play it so that it isn’t one-sided. I think our show is very multifaceted and that’s what makes it interesting.”
Just because Gosselaar plays Sir doesn’t mean he agrees with his actions. That is why the actor has gotten even more surprised seeing the “Team Sir” fan support on social media.
“I think it’s just a study of society — but I feel the same way. With Breaking Bad, I really loved Bryan Cranston’s portrayal of his character. He was a real dark character and you found yourself rooting for him and not wanting him or anything bad to happen to him — even though he was despicable at times,” Gosselaar told Us. “Dexter as well. When I did research for this character, I needed to have a reference. [Our showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll] said Ted Bundy.”
Gosselaar continued: “Up until that point, I had known about Ted Bundy but I didn’t know much about him. When I did a dive on him, I realized he was a very handsome man and he could disarm his victims. Even when he was in court, he was a very smart individual. He made friends in a weird way and people rooted for him. It’s just an interesting dynamic and I wanted to make sure that we continued that with this character. I could play Sir a certain way — which would make you hate him always — but that’s really no fun.”
Found airs on NBC Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET and new episodes are available the next day on Peacock.
Sydney Sweeney‘s answer to coming back from a breakup is a transformative beauty glow-up.
On Wednesday, April 2, the actress celebrated the launch of what appears to be her newest skincare secret, the Bouncy & Firm serum from the cult-favorite Korean label Laneige.
It couldn’t have been better timing considering the recent news that Sweeney, 27, and her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, called off their wedding and ultimately decided to go separate ways. After all, what better way to practice self-love than with a little self-care that leaves you looking better — and yes, bouncier — than ever?
Sweeney is proof that a five-step skincare routine can work wonders, no matter your current relationship status, as she’s been using the products for public appearances, including the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. (As sources confirmed to Us Weekly exclusively on Monday, March 31, this was also around the time her engagement started to unravel.)
Judging by her radiant visage, you wouldn’t know it (although her dazzling Miu Miu dress also didn’t hurt). Her makeup artist, Melissa Hernandez, recently revealed that she prepped her skin with Laneige’s latest offerings, including toner, moisturizer, eye cream, serum and lip mask.

Hernandez also used the latter before Sweeney hit the step-and-repeat at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Tuesday, April 1, when the actress showed up in an actual bridal design by Wiederhoeft. Sweeney sent cameras flashing while dressed in the lace-up corset and matching skirt in silver metallic double satin, which had more than enough sheen to make up for her engagement ring.

When she arrived at the Laneige pop-up on Wednesday in Los Angeles, she forwent her usual ultra-glam, bombshell aesthetic in favor of something softer and effortlessly stunning.

She wore a full Chloé look: a blush velvet jacket over a romantic ruffled lace camisole in the same sweet shade, plus laid-back denim and the brand’s light pink Flower slingback peep-toes. Featuring rose-gold leather insoles, her heels alone imparted an eye-catching finish.
Meanwhile, her mane was styled in tousled waves, which echoed her similarly free-spirited approach to her wardrobe. Paired with a visibly brighter, lit-from-within glow courtesy of Laneige, Sweeney has already locked down a carefree new fashion and beauty look in one fell swoop.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Thursday, April 3, Baldoni’s attorneys argued that Reynolds, 48, “pretends that the Wayfarer Parties’ First Amended Complaint (the ‘FAC’) fails to set forth any basis for his liability and that he merely acted as a supportive spouse. Not so.”
The filing continued: “The FAC specifically alleges ample facts to support the Wayfarer Parties’ claims against him, based on both his direct actions and his liability as a co-conspirator.”
Baldoni’s lawyers also stated that if Reynolds’ motion to dismiss was accepted, the Deadpool star shouldn’t be able to recover attorneys’ fees.
A spokesperson for Reynolds’ addressed the latest filing in a statement to Us.
“The main takeaway from the Wayfarer Parties’ opposition to Ryan’s motion to dismiss their case is that they finally realize the plain defects in their complaint,” the statement read. “They once again claim defamation without alleging who was defamed, what specifically was said, or how anyone suffered actual harm.”

The statement continued: “Unlike Mr. Baldoni, who built his brand pretending to be a man who is ‘confident enough to listen’ to the women in his life, Ryan Reynolds actually is that man and he will continue to support his wife as she stands up to the individuals who not only harassed her but then have retaliated against her. Under New York law, California law, and indeed in every jurisdiction of the United States this lawsuit not only fails but may result in the Wayfarer Parties covering Ryan’s costs and attorneys’ fees for bringing such a frivolous case in the first place.”
Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman also addressed the filing in a statement issued to Us Weekly on Thursday April 3.
“Ms. Lively and her circle of Hollywood elites cannot prevent my clients from exercising their constitutional right to petition the court to clear their names from her false and harmful claims,” the statement read. “What Ms. Lively is attempting to do is to set a dangerous precedent by barring the courthouse doors to my clients and punishing them for having their day in court, a right protected by the First Amendment. This right protects not only Mr. Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties in this particular case, but all Americans in the future who have false accusations levied against them and seek relief from our justice system. This must stop here, and we will continue to fight against this blatant attempt to block access to the court system and to weaken our nation’s Constitution to serve those who are in the position of power. “
Baldoni denied the allegations and subsequently filed his own $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and the actress’ publicist. Lively and Reynolds both filed paperwork to dismiss the lawsuit while the publicist requested to be removed from the lawsuit.
In Reynolds’ dismissal filing, the actor’s lawyers argued that Baldoni’s case “does not identify a single allegedly defamatory statement” made by Reynolds.
“The entirety of Mr. Baldoni’s case appears to be based on Mr. Reynolds allegedly privately calling Mr. Baldoni a ‘predator,’ but here is the problem, that is not defamation unless they can show that Mr. Reynolds did not believe that statement to be true,” read a statement from Reynolds’ attorneys Mike Gottlieb and Esra Hudson to Us. “The complaint doesn’t allege that, and just the opposite, the allegations in the complaint suggest that Mr. Reynolds genuinely believes Mr. Baldoni is a predator.”
The statement continued: “Mr. Reynolds’ wife has accused Mr. Baldoni — privately and in multiple complaints — of sexual harassment and retaliation, and as pointed out by Mr. Reynolds’ motion, Mr. Baldoni has also openly spoken about his past of mistreating women and pushing the boundaries of consent. Mr. Reynolds has a First Amendment right to express his opinion of Mr. Baldoni, which should be comforting to a group of people who have repeatedly called Ms. Lively and Mr. Reynolds ‘bullies’ and other names over the past year.”
Bristowe, 39, shared on the Wednesday, April 2, episode of her “Off the Vine” podcast that her previously teased project with Underwood, 33, would soon be revealed. She also noted that Underwood’s ex Randolph, 29, who means a lot to Bristowe, had signed off on their collaboration.
“This is a very honest podcast for me. I want to have a lot of integrity with it,” Bristowe explained, pointing out, “I am friends with Cassie, and I know a lot of stuff went down between Colton and Cassie.”
The former Bachelorette shared that she’s had “many conversations” with Underwood about “how he feels and what he has done wrong,” some of which pertains to Randolph.
Bristowe went on to say Underwood, who is now married to Jordan C. Brown, is not a mean-spirited person.
“He is an actual golden retriever who is so happy in life right now and was so lost at the time,” she continued, referring to Underwood dating Randolph while internally dealing with his sexuality. (Underwood publicly came out as gay in April 2021, nearly one year after he and Randolph called it quits.)
Bristowe told her listeners that she took into account how Randolph might feel about her spending time with Underwood after their complicated past.
“When I was getting to work with Colton, it was very important to me to reach out to Cassie and have the conversation with her,” Bristowe recalled, revealing that Randolph was “very gracious and grateful” about everything.
Once Bristowe had Randolph’s OK, she said she “got to move forward” with her and Underwood’s project. When it comes to what the collaboration is, Bristowe teased more details will be available shortly.
“For the love of God! I wish this is something where I’m like, ‘How can I still not talk about it?’” the reality star said on the podcast, explaining that she filmed a special something with Underwood back in September 2024. “I would say hopefully announcing in the next few weeks,” she added.

Fans met Underwood during season 14 of The Bachelorette while he was vying for Becca Kufrin’s heart. He was eliminated after hometown dates but later starred on season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise.
Underwood eventually became the season 23 lead on The Bachelor, where he picked Randolph as his final rose during the 2019 finale. (He famously jumped a fence after Randolph revealed she wanted to leave the show before its end.)
The pair didn’t get engaged but they did date for two years before calling it quits in May 2020.
News broke in September 2020 that Randolph filed a restraining order against Underwood, claiming he planted a tracker on her car and was harassing her. Two months later, she dropped the restraining order, and the exes settled their case in private.
After Underwood publicly revealed he is gay in April 2021, he apologized to Randolph, claiming he loved her very much when they were together. “I’m sorry for any pain and emotional stress I caused,” he said on Good Morning America. “I wish that it wouldn’t have happened the way that it did. I wish that I had been courageous enough to fix myself before I broke anybody else.”
The following year, Randolph said she was “very happy” that Underwood was “at peace with himself” and no longer “carrying that burden.” She confessed on an October 2022 episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast that their split and his coming out journey was “a very overall hard time” for her.
Both Randolph and Underwood have since moved on romantically. Underwood married Brown, 42, in May 2023 and they welcomed their first child, son Bishop, via surrogate in September 2024.
Bristowe, for her part, has been part of Bachelor Nation since season 19 of The Bachelor. She became the Bachelorette during season 11, which resulted in an engagement to Shawn Booth. The pair called it quits in November 2018.
The Canada native moved on with another Bachelor Nation favorite Jason Tartick in 2019 and they got engaged in May 2021. Bristowe and Tartick, 36, split in August 2023.

Amy Duggar wishes her husband, Dillon King, was having a happier birthday.
“Y’all I adore this man!” Duggar, 38, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, April 3. “Normally we’d be celebrating in a huge way but currently we are facing some possible life threatening medical concerns. Today I’d like to ask for some prayers on his behalf. I know God has him, but we welcome the prayers!! I can’t think of a better gift for him!”
While Duggar didn’t share her husband’s diagnosis or specifics about his health battle, the former Counting On star shared a picture of King lying in a gurney from what appeared to be a doctor’s office.
“Happy Birthday to my favorite person on the planet!” she continued. “[Our son] Dax has the best dad on the planet and he’s so loved by so many family and friends. … Dillon we can get through anything together. .”
After sharing her husband’s health scare online, Duggar immediately began receiving supportive comments from family and fans.
“Happy birthday, Dillon! Praying for you all. ,” Jinger Duggar wrote in the comments section. Jill Duggar added, “HBD Dillon! Praying for y’all!”
Starting in 2008, Amy was regularly featured on the TLC show 19 Kids and Counting, which focused on the life of her maternal uncle Jim Bob Duggar‘s large family.
She briefly appeared on the show’s spinoff Counting On before joining the cast of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars with King in 2017.

The couple, who have been married since September 2015, welcomed their son, Daxton, in October 2019, and have chosen to raise him away from reality TV cameras.
Fans of the family, however, have still been able to follow the couple’s milestones via social media, including a recent anniversary.
“We celebrated 9 years of marriage in a luxury African tent!!” Amy wrote via Instagram in October 2024. “@thecoveytents was so romantic, secluded and beautiful! From the outdoor shower, the coffee drawer to the pizza kit to the sunsets everything was amazing! Love you forever Taz.”
King also gushed about his wife in a heartfelt anniversary post.
“Nine years of adventures, laughter and love, and it keeps getting better. ,” he wrote via Instagram. “From Mahogany Bay, Costa, Maya, to Cozumel, every stop is a new memory with you. I choose you every day, and I’ll never stop. Here’s to many more years of exploring life together.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Duggar’s team for additional comment.

Days after their rare family outing, Dolph Lundgren and wife Emma Krokdal were spotted out and about again.
The couple were photographed at the beach in Miami on Wednesday, April 2. Lundgren, 67, wore blue checkered swim trunks that he paired with a white shirt. Krokdal, 29, donned a lavender bikini and sunglasses.
Once Lundgren and Krokdal settled in their beach chairs, the actor went shirtless as he soaked in the sunshine. While Lundgren lounged, he put on a pair of sunglasses.
Lundgren and Krokdal’s beach excursion came nearly one week after the twosome stepped out with the action star’s two daughters. (Lundgren shares Ida, 28, and Greta, 23, with ex-wife Anette Qviberg. The pair were married from 1994 to 2011.)
The foursome were photographed while at the restaurant Avra in Beverly Hills on March 27, where they could be seen chatting outside the eatery.
Lundgren and Krokdal met at a gym and became fast friends before getting engaged in 2020.

“I was looking for the boxing room, and I just grabbed somebody who was going up the stairs. She looked like a trainer, and I said, ‘Hey excuse me, where’s the boxing room?’ ” Lundgren said in a May 2023 interview with Graham Bensinger. “She turned around and it was like, ‘Oh s—.’ It was one of those flashes where you go, ‘Uh-oh.'”
Lundgren added that Krokdal was not familiar with his extensive work before they met.
“I didn’t know why she liked me at all, but I suppose she saw something there,” he recalled. “She didn’t know about my acting career, she didn’t know anything about me.”
Dolph Lundgren; Emma KrokdalMEGA
The couple tied the knot three years later in Greece. Their nuptials were delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and Lundgren’s battle with cancer. (Lundgren had a kidney tumor removed in 2015, and doctors discovered additional tumors five years later.)
“We chose to celebrate our love by getting married at our villa in Mykonos with family and a few close friends,” they told People in July 2023. “With both COVID and a long road of challenging medical treatments, we’ve had to push our marriage plans many times. We felt it was finally the right time to celebrate love, life and happiness — in the land of the Gods.”
One year after their wedding, Lundgren and Krokdal became United States citizens. (Lundgren is from Sweden while Krokdal was born in Norway.)
“I’ve been in this country on and off for over 40 years now,” Lundgren said in a statement to People. “I love America and the wonderful opportunities this country has given me. I’m proud to finally become a U.S. citizen and officially make this my home.”
