The California native started dating Cindy Silva in 1975 while they attended California State University, Fullerton. The pair tied the knot three years later and went on to welcome three little ones — Annie, Lily and Joe — born in 1984, 1986 and 1988, respectively. After 16 years of marriage, the pair called it quits in 1994.
Costner moved on with Bridget Rooney following his and Silva’s split, and the model gave birth to their son, Liam, in 1996.
The Golden Globe winner went on to date political activist Birgit Cunningham, and model Elle Macpherson before beginning his relationship with handbag designer Christine Baumgartner.
Costner married the former model in September 2004, with the pair tying the knot at his Aspen, Colorado, ranch — but they briefly spit ahead of their nuptials. The pair welcomed son Cayden three years after their wedding ceremony, followed by Hayes in 2009 and Grace in 2010.
In May 2023, Us Weekly confirmed Baumgartner filed for divorce from Costner after nearly 19 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in February 2024.
Costner' eldest child was born in April 1984. She has acted in Waterworld and Dances With Wolves. Annie married Dr. Danny Cox in 2016. They share two children, Cayden and Hayes, born in 2007 and 2009, respectively.
Lily is the second of Costner’s children with first wife Silva. She was born in August 1986. The singer and her father cowrote "Heaven's Gate" in 2020.
While Young joined the cast of the Netflix reality series for season 6, which premiered in May 2023, her relationship with Oppenheim started and ended long before her reality TV debut.
“[Nicole] dated Jason [10 years ago] — she was the first,” Amanza Smith exclusively revealed to Us Weekly in August 2022. “I’ve known her for 10 years and she’s amazing. She’s not new to me. I’m just very glad that she’s finally on the show with us and we get to spend more time with her in the office because I adore Nicole.”
Despite being a late addition to Selling Sunset, Young is an original member of The Oppenheim Group. “I’m the OG … original girlfriend,” she quipped during a season 6 episode of the series. The realtor — who has been married to Brandon Young since 2017 — referred to Oppenheim as the “best broker in the biz” in a March 2019 Instagram post.
Young isn’t the only ex with whom Oppenheim has maintained an amicable personal and professional relationship. In season 1 of Selling Sunset, which premiered in March 2019, the attorney hosted an engagement party for his ex Mary Fitzgerald and her now-husband, Romain Bonnet.
The exes were an item in 2014 for “six months to a year,” the Oppenheim Group founder recalled during a season 1 episode of the reality series. He added that he and Fitzgerald — who has worked for his real estate agency since 2014 — “were good friends before [they dated] and we’re much closer now.”
The real estate mogul and Stause, meanwhile, were friends and coworkers before they went public with their romance in July 2021. When the Kentucky native joined the Oppenheim Group in 2018, she had recently married Justin Hartley. (The former spouses called it quits in 2019 and finalized their split in February 2021.)
Oppenheim exclusively told Us in November 2021 that his friendship with Stause provided a great basis for their romantic relationship.
“We had been so open about what we were looking for with each other because we had become close friends,” he shared at the time. “She knew my dating life, and we would almost joke about each other’s dating lives and what we were looking for and things like that.”
One month after Oppenheim dished to Us about his romance with the Days of Our Lives alum, the duo split just before Christmas 2021. However, they didn’t let the breakup sour their dynamic as pals.
“Chrishell and I started off close friends before we were together, and we’re back, we’re in a great place,” Oppenheim told E! News in July 2022. “I think we’re both really happy right now, and we get along really well.”
Stause has since moved on with G Flip and the pair tied the knot in May 2023.
Keep scrolling for a look at Oppenheim’s dating history:
Fitzgerald and Oppenheim dated for about a year in 2014. “We had a lingering kind of period,” Fitzgerald said during a season 1 episode of Selling Sunset, noting that the twosome took a while to split for good. “We lived together.”
Stause and Oppenheim went public with their relationship in July 2021, but by December, their whirlwind romance had ended. Later that month, the Eve of Abduction actress confirmed they called it quits due to Oppenheim not wanting children.
“Jason was and is my best friend, and other than our ideas for family ultimately not being aligned, the amount of respect and love we have for each other will not change going forward,” she wrote via Instagram at the time.
The businessman and the model were first linked in July 2022 when they were spotted kissing in Mykonos, Greece. In May 2023, the pair confirmed they had split after less than one year of dating.
"While we still love and care about each other very much, the distance between us has proven to be too great a challenge to overcome,” they wrote in a joint statement shared via their respective Instagram pages. “We remain close friends and continue to talk often and support each other and we want the very best for one another. We thank everyone for their support throughout our relationship.”
In April 2025, Oppenheim made his new relationship with Jessica Vargas red carpet official.
The Selling Sunset star walked the red carpet with the real estate agent at the Los Angeles premiere of The Accountant 2.
According to her real estate profile, Vargas is a realtor at The Oppenheim Group and “represents clients from the Valley, West Hollywood, to Malibu, Beverly Hills and beyond.”
While it’s unclear if Vargas will be part of Selling Sunset season 9, her profile states she enjoys spending time with family, friends and her two dogs when not working.
Kim Kardashian has captivated the world’s attention at not one, but 11 Met Gala red carpets (and counting).
The Kardashians star made her debut on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City during the 2013 gala. At the time she was the plus-one of her then-husband, Kanye West, who was performing at the event. Kardashian was also pregnant with their first child, daughter North. (The exes, who were married from 2014 to 2022, also share daughter Chicago and sons Saint and Psalm.)
In 2015, the reality star channeled her inner Cher glowing in a Roberto Cavalli original. The designer used sheer crystal embroidery and feather detailing to create the stunning white gown with a lengthy train.
As Kardashian became a regular attendee of the New York City soirée, she opted for bolder — and even controversial — selections. In 2022, she faced backlash after she borrowed Marilyn Monroe’s famous Jean Louis gown for the spectacle. The historical slip dress, which the iconic movie star wore when she sang “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy in 1962, was loaned to Kardashian by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for the occasion. The reality star went on a strict diet to ensure the dress would fit, losing 16 pounds in three weeks.
The reality star attended her first Met Gala while she was pregnant with North. Kardashian rocked a floral print turtleneck gown with gloved sleeves designed by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy.
Kardashian glowed like a goddess in the gold Versace gown which featured embroidered crosses to match the theme “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”
The California native looked like she stepped out of the sea when she arrived at the red carpet in a custom skin-tight nude garment from Thierry Mugler. Kardashian and the late designer went for the “wet look” with damp-looking hair and a water droplet-inspired manicure.
The businesswoman made headlines for her controversial choice to wear the iconic gown donned by Monroe during her sultry “Happy Birthday” performance to President Kennedy in 1962.
When it came to honoring the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld for her 2023 Met Gala look, Kardashian told Vogue she knew she “wanted pearls.” She did just that with a custom Schiaparelli dress featuring 50,000 real pearls and strings of jewels. The outfit — which was reminiscent of her 2007 Playboy shoot — also consisted of a white coat with a train and a bejeweled diamond and pearl necklace.
Kardashian proved to have a barely-there waist in a silver Maison Margiela dress with a leafy design. She elevated the strapless number, which exposed her legs, with a cropped gray cardigan. On the red carpet, she told Vogue that she wanted her getup to look like “the wildest night of my life in a garden and I just ran out and grabbed my boyfriend’s sweater and threw it on and had to get to work” She added, “And my hair is all messed up.”
Bachelor alum Caila Quinn is pushing back on the rumors that her husband, Nick Burrello, cheated on her.
Quinn, 33, jumped into the comments on a TikTok video that laid out the allegations, quickly dispelling any notion that Burrello had been unfaithful during “one of his business trips.”
“WTF is this…” she wrote on Wednesday, April 16 alongside a laughing emoji. “This isn’t true. And my husband doesn’t go on business trips. This is a joke. No one believe these rumors. This is FALSE.”
The video’s creator, @wellnessgurl, replied by doubling down on her accusation.
“So sorry girl,” she wrote. “You should look into the post — it has pictures, texts and videos.”

Quinn, who was the second runner-up on Ben Higgins’ season of The Bachelor, has not yet responded to the reply. Us Weekly reached out to comment.
In the video, the creator outlined a series of accusations against Burrello, saying he cheated on Quinn with “a couple different people.”
“There are posts and threads deep in the world of Bachelor Reddit that talk about Caila Quinn’s husband cheating on her,” she said. “The post was made by somebody that he was seeing. In a sense they were texting with each other. It was a relationship over text. He met this person on Grindr and he is dating a trans woman.”
“You can see the text threads being exchanged between them that she knows that it is Nick Burrello and she even addresses it,” she continued. “He talks a lot about his wife and him kind of struggling with doing something behind her back. They actively make plans to meet up when he’s on one of his business trips.”
She concluded, “In the text threads, Nick also admits this is not the first time he’s cheated on Caila. It’s very sad to report this but I think he needs to be called out. It’s already public information so please don’t come after me for this. It’s very unfortunate for the kids that are involved in this but you know I don’t think he even cared or thought about it or the consequences of that.”
Quinn and Burrello married in 2021 and share children Teddi, 2, and Christian, 7 months. Shortly before welcoming Teddi in 2023, Quinn opened up to Us Weekly about how “caring” Burrello has been throughout her pregnancy.
“He has been unbelievably thoughtful — with back massages and an ice-cold Yeti full of water before bed,” she said. “Just the other day he had to shower in a slippery tub and he asked me if I wanted him to hold my hand as I showered so I wouldn’t slip and fall too. And it just reminds me that I am so lucky to have him as a partner.”
Drew Carey and OnlyFans star Niki Skyler were recently spotted together but the pair have a history.
Carey, 66, and Skyler, 37, grabbed lunch at Swingers Diner in Los Angeles on Thursday, April 17, according to photos obtained by The Daily Mail. The Price Is Right host kept it casual by sporting a navy plaid shirt, dark jeans and sneakers. The model opted for a black tank top and baggy pants.
The twosome’s outing quickly fueled romance rumors, but a source exclusively tells Us Weekly that Carey and Skyler’s connection is platonic and goes way back.
“They are just friends and have been friends for a long time,” the insider says, noting that Carey and Skyler have known each other for around 10 years.
Earlier this year, Carey told Us that he wasn’t looking for a romantic partner after the death of ex-fiancée Amie Harwick. Carey and Harwick got engaged in 2018 but called it quits later that year. Following their breakup, the twosome remained friends. In 2020, Harwick was murdered at age 38. Her ex-boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse pleaded not guilty but was convicted of her murder in 2023. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
“It destroyed me for a while. I still don’t date,” Carey told Us exclusively in February. “I have women I go out with and spend time with, but it’s all platonic, and I don’t care about anything else. Amie’s death really affected everything.”

Following Harwick’s funeral, several of her friends reached out to Carey to tell him that she truly “loved” and “cared” for him.
“I was so moved by it. They’ve now become some of my best friends,” he recalled. “I also got to reconnect with her mother, father and brother. We held each other up through the funeral and the trial. Now Amie’s memory and the things she lived for keep us going.”
As Carey continues to navigate life without Harwick, he has a close-knit group of friends to count on and help him through the tough times.
“I have this great female friend group that I cherish, and I’m godfather to several sets of kids from the group,” he shared. “We hang out together, went on vacation together and we talk to each other every day. That’s the biggest blessing in my life right now.”
Skyler, for her part, has kept her love life low-key. However, when she was named Penthouse’s Pet of the Month in April 2017, she revealed that she is bisexual.
“I actually check out women more than men,” she told the outlet while noting she likes “having sex with men more than women.”
RuPaul’s Drag Race has been around for 17 seasons now, spawning numerous spinoffs, live shows and global editions, but that doesn’t mean the show’s contestants aren’t still surprised by what happens in the Werk Room.
“I didn’t know it was going to be so hard,” season 17 finalistOnya Nurve exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the Friday, April 18, finale. “We all do drag part-time or full-time outside of the show. It’s like drag boot camp. It’s like drag two-a-days. It is longer, it is more intense and it’s not as easy as it looks. I think that was the biggest surprise for me.”
Onya’s fellow finalist Sam Star agreed, joking that the show’s title is more fitting than she ever knew.
“When it’s called RuPaul’s Drag Race, I didn’t realize that that is so accurate, that it’s so fast,” she explained. “You don’t have time to think, really. Your first idea is your only idea, ’cause there’s no time to think for the second idea. It seems so easy, and I was definitely the girl who sat at home and read everybody down and was like, ‘Girl, why would you do that?’ But now doing it, I get it. So everybody at home, I’m sorry for reading y’all. The former girls, I get it now. It was very hard.”
The remaining finalists, Lexi Love and Jewels Sparkles, echoed those sentiments, telling Us they were surprised by the breakneck pace of filming.
“It really is a race,” Lexi told Us. “It’s very regimented. It’s a surprise. And the girls really are — they say we’re like the Olympics of drag. Those girls are Olympians. It takes a mental fortitude to do this.”
Onya Nurve and Sam StarUs Weekly
Jewels, for her part, says she has a “new respect” for anyone who’s ever been in the Werk Room. “Everything happens so fast, you don’t have time to think,” she added. “It’s an instinct game. It’s whoever’s best at following their instincts, because that’s all you have in there.”
That’s not to say that no fun was had during season 17. All four finalists had the judges in stitches during Snatch Game, with Onya winning the challenge as Eddie Murphy. She told Us she hasn’t heard from the comedian about her impression, but she’s still holding out hope.
“I am dying to get an [Instagram] follow from Eddie Murphy, a message from Eddie Murphy,” she said. “I am Eddie Murphy’s biggest fan and I killed him on Snatch Game. I was a perfect representation. Hit me up, Eddie! I love you and I know you love me too.”
Sam also hasn’t heard from QVC personality Kim Gravel, but she’s ready to link up — and collaborate.
“If you do see this, Kim, I love you,” Sam told Us. “Please reach out to me because we have to collab. The kids would love it. And I was a huge fan of your show. Still a huge fan of the QVC line!”
The season 17 finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race airs on MTV Friday, April 18, at 8 p.m. ET.
After the City and County of Denver Medical Examiner confirmed the singer died from an opioid overdose on March 10, Cook is shining a light on his private struggles away from the stage.
“He has a long history of drug abuse,” Cook exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Thursday, April 17. “He had dabbled in a few different things, but all of this is kind of shocking,” she added, referring to the latest reports that her ex’s death was ruled an accident due to the combined toxic effects of fentanyl, methadone and amphetamines, with recent cocaine use.
Kiker and Cook, who broke up four years ago, share two daughters together. After their split, Cook moved the kids to Florida while Kiker ended up in Denver, Colorado. (She has since moved back to Alabama.)
At the time of Kiker’s death in March, Cook said she was notified by an investigator that he died of a drug-induced heart attack and was in a hospital in Denver. On March 12, Kiker’s sisters confirmed his death on Facebook. He was 32.
ABC
“I don’t know if he had a cell phone,” Cook shared. “He never reached out, and he never tried to support [his kids]. Because of the history, I never reached out. I thought it was safer for the kids.”
Kiker rose to fame when he appeared on season 18 of American Idolin 2020. During his experience on the show, the singer performed a soulful rendition of Rascal Flatts’ “Bless the Broken Road.”
Although he was eliminated during the live shows, he received support from the judges, including Luke Bryan and Katy Perry, who was brought to tears during his audition.
“For a man who has no idea what his voice can do, for a man who has no idea what key he’s singing in, for a man who has no idea who the heck he can be, he’s here to do one thing: He’s trying to show his daughter that he’s somebody,” judge Lionel Richie said after his audition. “I want us all to let you know, you’re a hell of a man.”
When looking back on his fame from Idol, on which he was affectionately nicknamed “The Singing Garbage Man,” Cook said, “He enjoyed it and liked it and all the attention from it.”
Drug addiction, however, made his path to singing success difficult.
“He just wouldn’t stop doing [what] he was doing to pursue it further,” Cook said. “He had the means to do so and had people behind him supporting him. The drugs were just getting in the way.”
The late musician’s siblings have since launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover funeral expenses.
“He was sooo loved and will be missed by so many!” the singer’s sister Angela Evans wrote via Facebook. “You’re singing with the angels now Bubba. Please pray for our family as we go [through] this very difficult time.”

Jason Segel wrote one of the most popular romantic comedies of all time when he penned Forgetting Sarah Marshall — and it all started with his own awkward breakup!
“I got broken up while naked in real life. It was a really bad day,” Segel revealed during a 2018 appearance on The View. “My girlfriend had been out of town and she called me from the airport and asked, ‘Hey, are you home, can I come over?’ When she arrived, I was waiting for her like Burt Reynolds and she walked in and I was like, ‘I’ve been waiting for you,’ and she said, ‘We need to talk.’ And then this breakup commenced.”
The 2007 film follows struggling musician Peter Bretter (Segel) as he travels to Hawaii in a last-ditch effort to forget about his TV crime-solving ex-girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). Trouble ensues when he runs into his ex vacationing with her new boyfriend.
The California native first got his start on the critically acclaimed teen series Freaks and Geeks in 1999 before becoming a household name on the hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother, which aired from 2005 to 2014.
Following his role as Peter Bretter, Segel was featured in various big-name comedy films, including I Love You Man and This Is 40 with Forgetting Sarah Marshall costar Rudd.
The Dispatches From Elsewhere actor has recently tried his hand at YA novels, penning 2017’s Other World and its follow-up, Other Earth, which debuted one year later. He starred on Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty from 2022 to 2023. In January 2023, his hit series Shrinking — in which he stars and serves as writer and executive producer — premiered on AppleTV+.
Bell’s breakout role came in 2003 when she played the titular character in teen noir series Veronica Mars. She reprised the role for the 2014 film and the 2019 revival series on Hulu.
Since her portrayal of Sarah Marshall, the Michigan native has lent her voice to various projects, including Disney’s Frozen and The CW's Gossip Girl. In 2021, she reprised her role for Max's reboot of the hit teen series.
In 2016, Bell starred on and produced the NBC post-mortem comedy The Good Place, which ran for four seasons. She also starred in the Bad Moms movie franchise alongside costar Kunis. Bell began portraying Joanne in Netflix’s Nobody Wants This in 2024.
Bell married fellow actor Dax Shepard in 2013 and the couple share two children, Delta and Lincoln.
Brand first got his start working as a video journalist for MTV. Following his role in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the comedian worked as a voice actor for 2010s Despicable Me and its follow-up film, 2013s Despicable Me 2. In 2022, he appeared in the mystery thriller Death on the Nile.
In 2009, Brand began dating Katy Perry after meeting on the set of Get Him to the Greek. The two got engaged just months after they began dating and tied the knot in October 2011. They split less than a year later. He married Laura Gallacher in 2017.
In 2023, The Times published an article in which four women alleged they were sexually assaulted by Brand in the past. The London Metropolitan Police later revealed they were investigating a 2003 sexual assault investigation that allegedly involved Brand. He denied all allegations. Brand was charged in April 2025 with rape, sexual assault and indecent assault based on four different women’s allegations. His first hearing is slated for May 2025.
Kunis has been featured in a myriad of blockbuster hits, including 2010's Black Swan and the 2016 Bad Moms franchise opposite Bell. She has voiced the character of Meg Griffin on FOX’s Family Guy since 2000. Kunis’ most recent roles include playing Fefe on Stoner Cats from 2021 to 2022 and starring in 2024’s Goodrich.

The Arizona native has lent his voice to popular animated films such as Inside Out in 2015, Finding Dory in 2016, and The Addams Family 2 in 2021. In 2018, he created, starred in, produced and directed the HBO dark comedy Barry, which has become critically acclaimed. The show ended in 2023.
Hader tied the knot with Maggie Carey in 2006. The couple welcomed three daughters, Hayley, Hannah and Harper, before filing for divorce in December 2018. Hader dated Rachel Bilson and Anna Kendrick before moving on with Ali Wong. The pair briefly split in 2022 before reconnecting in April 2023.
With a career spanning over 30 years, Rudd got his start in various teen hits of the 90s, including Clueless and Wet Hot American Summer.
After playing surfer Chuck in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the New Jersey native portrayed characters in some of the most popular comedies of the 2000s, including Anchorman, This is 40, and 40-Year-Old Virgin before joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ant-Man.

Bader, 30, took to Instagram on Thursday, April 17, to show off her going-out style. “You look cute,” she told herself as she modeled a sheer brown cashmere top from Intimissimi, featuring a fitted silhouette. Underneath, Bader gave fans a glimpse of her nude bralette, also by Intimissimi, with the straps poking through the design’s boat neckline.
The influencer styled the number with skinny blue jeans from Frame’s collaboration with influencer Alix Earle, plus a cowhide Petit Moments belt featuring gold hardware. “Hey, mommy,” she said, hyping herself up.
Bader’s look immediately reminded Us of Selena Gomez’s date-night look with her fiancé Benny Blanco, which she wore last month while out and about in New York City.
For the singer’s romantic evening, Gomez turned heads in a chocolate-brown top that was just sheer enough to reveal a hint of her nude Victoria’s Secret Smooth Lightly Lined Demi Bra, which retails for only $50, underneath. Similar to Bader’s interpretation, Gomez styled the top with fitted blue jeans and a brown Khaitie Lucca belt adorned with a large gold buckle.
The singer topped off the fit with a brown puffer jacket and accessorized with Bruna Corsica chunky hoop earrings and pointed-toe heels.
While Bader’s ensemble looked nearly identical to Gomez’s version, she later changed into a black bralette so that her nude lingerie wouldn’t appear too “light in photos.”
“Yeah, that’s better, baby,” she said after swapping out her bra. “Is this cute for going to an event and then going on a date after? I think it’s giving a little inappropriate. I would put a jacket on. Like a chill girl,” Bader explained.
The TikTok star then styled her outfit with a brown leather jacket and knee-high suede Dolce Vita boots. “Am I doing too much brown now?” she questioned at first. “No, I actually kind of like this.” Bader completed her look with a Louis Vuitton bag before hitting a sartorial high note at the Intimissimi event.
Laura Prepon and Ben Foster’s divorce settlement revealed their respective monthly incomes — and the numbers might shock fans.
Foster’s gross monthly income is $70,509.92, while Prepon’s gross monthly income totals $22,205.50, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. (In Touch was first to report the news.)
ThePunisher actor, 44, agreed to pay his ex-wife $5,500 a month in child support. The former couple — who share daughter Ella, 7, and a son, whose name has never been publicly revealed, born in 2020 — will split time with their children.
Prepon will be the primary residence for the kids, serving as their home 227 days. Foster will get 138 days, sharing custody of the kids throughout the week. The exes agreed to split the costs of tuition and school-related expenses moving forward.
While the former spouses have traded jabs in court documents — Prepon accused Foster of having a drinking problem, while he claimed Prepon was guilty of “inappropriate marital conduct” — they have officially finalized their divorce. (Prepon and Foster denied each other’s allegations in past court docs.)
The marital dissolution agreement, which was executed on Tuesday, April 14, confirmed that Prepon and Foster agreed to uphold their prenuptial agreement.
When it comes to their shared home in Nashville, Tennessee, the That ‘70s Show alum and Foster agreed to sell. The property was previously listed for $4 million, with the understanding that Prepon will be paid $977,987 from the net proceeds. The former couple will split the rest of the proceeds 50/50, per their divorce docs.
The Hell or High Water actor was awarded his 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2012 Chevrolet Silverado, as both are in Foster’s name. Prepon will retain her 2023 Land Rover Discovery Sport, which is in her name.
The pair will also receive any checking, savings, investments, stocks or crypto currency in their individual names. Foster will retain 100 percent ownership of his business Perfect Bananafish, Inc., while Prepon will keep 100 percent ownership of her company Laura P. Enterprises, Inc., per the docs.
The actors plan to “take whatever steps are necessary to dissolve” their joint company Infinity Rose, LLC, which they co-own after they close on the sale of their home, the docs read.
Foster and Prepon also agreed not to pay alimony and waived their rights to receive spousal support.
Peter Krause‘s body isn’t even cold yet after Bobby’s shocking 9-1-1death, but is Ryan Murphy already setting Angela Bassett‘s Athena up with Joshua Jackson‘s Max on Doctor Odyssey?
9-1-1 fans were in for a startling surprise when the Thursday, April 17, episode of the hit ABC series ended with Bobby’s death — especially since he was a main character on the show since it premiered in 2018. While most viewers are expecting Bobby’s widow, Athena, to go through a lengthy mourning period, is it possible that she has already met her next love interest?
Before Bobby was killed off, Athena was featured in the first crossover between 9-1-1 and Doctor Odyssey. The fact that Athena even set foot on a cruise ship after suffering trauma on the high seas in past seasons of 9-1-1 was shocking. Then there was the fact that Bobby didn’t join his wife on screen.
“I was like, ‘That doesn’t make sense,’” Bassett, 66, told TVLine in March. “Athena would never get back on a boat again. I just can’t imagine what would get her back on board, other than to go on, turn around and come right back off. [That experience is] still fresh in the cells of her body. It’s very anxiety provoking for Athena to be on that boat for any amount of time.”
Bassett said producers returned “with a great scenario where Bobby didn’t have to go” that made more sense, adding, “Unfortunately, we made it worse.”
DOCTOR ODYSSEY – ÒCasino WeekÓ – ItÕs Casino Week aboard The Odyssey, and unexpected guest Athena Grant suspects two passengers are targeting the shipÕs vault. Enlisting MaxÕs help, Athena raises the stakes in a dangerous game where not everyone will end up with a winning hand. THURSDAY, MARCH 20 (9:00-10:00 p.m. EDT) on ABC. (Disney/Tina Thorpe)JOSHUA JACKSON, ANGELA BASSETTABC
While the accidental cruise ship trip wasn’t on Athena’s bucket list, she ended up solving a case and having a good time with Jackson’s Max by her side during the show’s Casino Week. Jackson, 46, for his part, was equally as excited to act opposite Bassett.
“It was an opportunity for me to get dressed up and flirt with Angela Bassett,” he joked about Max and Athena’s interactions during an interview with TVLine. “Apologies, Mr. [Courtney B.] Vance. It was respectful but shameless.”
Jackson continued to praise Bassett after telling People that same month that she was “on my personal actor bucket list for many, many years.” After the episode premiered, Jackson didn’t rule out more appearances in the future.
“She came into our world for this crossover, and I think it would be absolutely hysterical to take The Odyssey crew to 9-1-1 and just to have us in our sparkly whites, show up and be like, ‘Hey, we’re here to help. What’s going on?’” he told Decider. “See them try to deal with us.”
Jackson added: “But the Bee-nado and Poseidon Adventure, [when the cruise ship] flipped upside down, they just — we got nothing on them. They do disaster.“
While no more crossover episodes have been announced yet, Jackson has proven to Us that he’s nothing if not creative when it comes to potential story lines. In March, Jackson pitched a crossover with creator Murphy’s upcoming series All’s Fair.
“Their whole law firm goes on a company retreat to the Odyssey,” he shared with Us while his costar Sean Teale took it one step further by pitching the first divorce to take place on the ship. Jackson noted that his character and Phillipa Soo‘s Avery were the most likely contenders due to their off-and-on relationship status on the show.
“Avery and I get married and then immediately realize it’s a terrible mistake,” Jackson quipped at the time. “We hire their law firm and then hijinks ensue.”

Influencer Tiffany Fong is denying recent reports about her rumored connection with Elon Musk.
An article published by The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, April 15, claimed that Musk, 53, once asked Fong if she would be interested in carrying his child, despite never having met in person. Fong took to X on Thursday, April 17, to deny the outlet’s report and any involvement with the article.
“For the record, I did not feed this story to WSJ (or any other outlet) and explicitly asked NOT to be included when I was contacted for comment,” she informed fans. “If you’re waiting for me to comment publicly, it’s not going to happen. THANKS!”
Fong’s tweet is not the first time she has denied rumors about herself potentially having a child with the Tesla CEO. “Insane that i need to announce i am NOT pregnant ,” she wrote alongside a screenshot about the baby rumors via Instagram on February 19. In the post’s caption, she added, “We live in a clown world.”
Musk, for his part, has not publicly acknowledged the claims made in the WSJ article except for a post via X on Tuesday, writing, “TMZ >> WSJ.” (Us Weekly has reached out to Musk’s reps for comment.)
In the WSJ article, the outlet claimed that Musk followed Fong on X last summer after her social media presence caught his attention, leading her to allegedly make $21,000 over two weeks in November 2024 due to their social media intersections. It was around that time that “people familiar with the matter” told the WSJ that Musk messaged her about possibly having a child together.

The WSJ post claimed Fong denied the offer in favor of wanting a “more traditional, nuclear family,” but confided in friends about her earnings potentially being hurt by turning him down. Per the outlet, Musk allegedly criticized her for disclosing the request and unfollowed her, resulting in a decline in her following and earnings.
The WSJ post also claimed that Musk offered fellow influencer Ashley St. Clair a one-time payment of $15 million, as well as $100,000 a month, to keep their child together a secret. According to the outlet, a recent paternity test revealed that Musk’s “probability of paternity” was 99.9999 percent.
In February, St. Clair announced via X that she had given birth to Musk’s 13th child, son Romulus, five months prior. She subsequently filed a petition seeking full custody of their child and requested Musk be in attendance at the New York County Courthouse in New York City on May 29 to establish custody and make his case for not taking a paternity test.
“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed,” Musk wrote via X on March 31. “Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”
Paige Spiranac refuses to take a mulligan on her outfits on the golf course — no matter what her haters have to say.
The influencer, 32, wore a revealing, backless ensemble to get some practice on the driving range on Thursday, April 17, which drew quite the amount of attention in her comments.
“People are so mad about this outfit ,” Spiranac shared via her Instagram Story. “The funny part is I really thought it was one of my more conservative looks lol.”
Spiranac wore the outfit on a nostalgic trip to the location that holds a special place in her heart.
“I hit my very first golf ball on this range and all these years later it’s still one of my favorite places ,” she wrote via Instagram.

Despite the celebratory post, some of Spiranac’s followers didn’t appreciate the unconventional look on the range.
“Unprofessional,” one person wote. “Like always.”
Another person commented, “Lmfao what’s happened to golf etiquette & attire .”
However, there was plenty of positive feedback on Spiranac’s post to help drown out the noise.
“Love your beautiful body and your personality,” one supporter wrote. “Fear is not in you and it shows in your attitude. Keep showing us how to have fun!”
Another wrote, “That’s it I’m taking up golf .”
Spiranac, who played college golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University, has amassed more than four million followers on Instagram with her golf-themed content.
“There were constant comments, like, ‘I did sexual favors to get this invite,’ and I was listening to it — and they would say [it] within earshot of me. It was tough,” Spiranac said last month on the “Quiet Please!” podcast.
Spiranac added, “It was my first pro event. It was really difficult. I just wanted to be liked and I played so bad. It was horrendous.”
In a September 2023 interview with Sports Illustrated, Spiranac acknowledged that her choice of golf attire might not be for everybody — and she’s just fine with that.
“I was a gymnast before I switched into golf,” Spiranac explained. “I was so comfortable wearing spandex and very little of it because that’s just what you wear when you’re wearing a leotard and you’re competing. When I switched into golf, we were struggling a little bit financially and so I didn’t have the luxury to go out and buy a whole new golf-appropriate wardrobe. So, I wore what was in my closet, which was workout clothes. That’s just how I learned to play the game.
She added, “That was always my mindset when I got into golf, and it really rubs people the wrong way which is shocking. They’ll have really intense discussions over if they should wear shorts or pants or a blade collar or a real collar and I’m just out here just in tank tops or spandex and people are like ‘What are you doing?’ But I love it.
Post Malone’s ex Hee Sung “Jamie” Park is taking legal steps to have full custody of their child.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Park asked a Los Angeles court to award her primary physical custody of the 2-year-old daughter — identified in the docs as “DDP” — she shares with Malone, 29.
In documents, Park requested joint legal custody and also asked the court that child visitation or parenting time be granted to Malone (whose real name is Austin Post).
She is also asking Malone to pay attorney fees, per the documents. (TMZ was first to report the news.)
Us has reached out to Malone’s rep and Park’s attorney for additional comment.
Despite his A-list status in Hollywood, Malone has been able to keep details surrounding his family life private. He has yet to reveal a photo of his daughter or her full name, and he kept Park’s identity quiet during their romance.
During an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, however, the Grammy nominee shared a rare look inside his life as a father.
“It changes your life in the best way ever, and the most beautiful thing is she has a beautiful mom,” he shared in August 2024 before remembering his daughter’s voice. “I’ll never forget her. If you’ve heard her cry, you’ll never forget her, either.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the “I Had Some Help” singer — who has his daughter’s initials tattooed on his forehead — credited his ex and his child for turning his life around.
“Four years ago, I was on a rough path,” he said. “It was terrible.”
When asked about “Yours,” a song on his country album, F-1 Trillion, the rapper turned country singer confirmed the track is about his child’s eventual wedding day.
“I think about it a lot,” he shared, before admitting he’s “written a whole lot of songs” about his only child.
This summer, Malone has his calendar full as he prepares to hit the road for The Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll and Sierra Ferrell.
Before the shows begin, the artist is inviting fans to participate in his “Travelin’ Tailgate.”
“Party with us on select concert dates along the BIG ASS Stadium Tour,” he shared via Instagram on March 4. “Cold Buds. Good food. Some kick ass new merch. Carnival games. Tattoos from the boys @oxfordcircletattoo. Live + local music.”
As for how he makes time for both his professional and personal life, Malone once admitted that it’s easier said than done.
“It’s tough having a balance, between dedicating my life to music and dedicating time for [my partner],” he said on The Breakfast Club in 2016. “It’s tough because you want to get into the studio, you want to do as good music as you can, sometimes you’re real busy.”
Season 9 of Summer House might still be airing, but some fans can’t help but think ahead to season 10 as the spring flies by.
Bravo rarely confirms plans for new seasons of Summer House until shortly before the cast heads to the Hamptons, which is typically in late June or early July. While the series is arguably more popular than ever, there have been several comments made by cast members that have hinted at potential changes — at least someday.
West Wilson and Lindsay Hubbard kicked things off with a brief “media war” (as the OG star called it) in February when he questioned how she could return for season 10 after giving birth to daughter Gemma.
“The problem I’m having is, I just became a mother and this is my job and I need to be a provider for my daughter,” Lindsay fired back on the Betches’ “Mention It All” podcast in March. While West later revealed that the costars made up over the phone, Lindsay has admitted that she might have to think about what makes sense for her reality TV future.
“Of course [I’m] down to film this summer,” Lindsay told Vulture in April. “But obviously I’m not going to bring a 6-month-old to the house every weekend.” Lindsay, who has also been vocal about her interest in someday joining The Real Housewives of New York City (and confirmed Andy Cohen has spoken to her about it), previously said that the show could adjust and film her a bit more during the week too.
“At the very minimum, we can film me in my life in the city if I’m not physically living at the house every weekend,” she said on the “Hot Mic” podcast in December 2024.

Paige DeSorbo, for her part, has been a fixture since she joined during season 3. In recent months, her career has taken off with the success of her “Giggly Squad” podcast and book, which coincided with extra eyes on her in the aftermath of her breakup from Craig Conover.
“There’s an end date for me at some point. With the lifestyle of Summer House specifically, I’m probably not fitting into the original show idea anymore,” Paige told Glamour in April. “Whenever I see a comment that’s like, ‘She’s a little too old to be on this,’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I kind of am. I’m probably not as fun to party with as a 25-year-old, and I get that.’”
Despite the comment, Jesse Solomon claims Paige has texted him about how fun she thinks season 10 will be as recent as this month. “She has actually texted me twice, ‘Season 10 gonna be lit,’” Jesse said on the “Chicks in the Office” podcast on April 18.
While Jesse noted that he’s “excited for the summer” too (and said he and West are both planning to go into the next season single), he also said that the show is casting.
“They’re casting away. People are hitting me up,” Jesse said, adding that he hopes the show finds “fun-loving people” who want to go out for season 10. “It’s hard to find people that are willing to be themselves on camera and are deeper than just like to have fun and go to the Hamptons. I hope there’s more seasons, but who knows?”
Someone who might not be rushing back to the Hamptons is Jesse’s ex-fling Lexi Wood. As their relationship crumbles on screen, Lexi acknowledged to Glamour that a lack of respect — though Jesse told the outlet that he does respect Lexi — could make things difficult for season 10.

“That’s a hard question because I think the exes at the end of the day that are in the house also respect each other,” she said in April, referring to Lindsay and Carl Radke and West and Ciara Miller. “And as much as it didn’t work out, they don’t want to necessarily be best friends, they can also respect that they live [under] the same roof.”
OG stars Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula (who technically joined for season 2 but appeared on season 1) have hinted on the show that they plan to relocate to the suburbs at some point, but it likely won’t be before season 10.
“I feel like we have to do a season 10. A nice, round 10. We’re all at different stages in our lives. Paige is recently single. There’s always something interesting going on, there’s always something new,” Kyle told the Television Academy in February. “If we were standing in one place, I feel like that wouldn’t be a good show either. The fact that it has been able to evolve a little bit and follow us as we go through different stages in life, I think is kind of what people are [looking for]. They’re along for the ride.”
Amanda noted in the same interview that they “don’t get to really make the decisions” but agreed with her husband. “I would think, in my perfect world, one of two things would happen. It’s either Summer House evolves with us and looks different in terms of people being married and having children, and it just becomes a different show,” she said. “Or Summer House continues with the singles, and there’s a The Valley–type breakout. But again, I don’t make the decisions.”
Summer House season 9 starred Lindsay, Carl, Kyle, Amanda, Paige, Ciara, Jesse, West, Lexi, Gabby Prescod and Imrul Hassan (with occasional appearances by Bailee Henderson who reportedly exited early).
Rob Mariano, a.k.a Boston Rob from Survivor, has been a reality TV icon since he first appeared on Survivor: Marquesas in 2002. Still going strong in 2025 and fresh off his run on The Traitors, Rob, 49, is winning over fans from a new generation.
Some of those new fans are his teenage daughters’ friends — and they think he’s hot.
“All of a sudden, their friends are like, ‘Oh, my God,’” Mariano told People in a story published April 12. “They don’t like the attention. It’s a lot.”
Mariano is a proud father of four with his wife and fellow Survivor legend Amber Mariano. The two share daughters Lucia, 15, Carina, 14, Isabetta, 12, and Adelina, 10.
Rob explained that his time on The Traitors season 3, where he lasted seven episodes, has encouraged younger viewers to go back and view his first seasons of reality TV. (Clips of a younger Rob have also gone viral on TikTok.) After Survivor: Marquesas, he returned for Survivor: All-Stars in 2004, where he and Amber first hit it off.

“I think just a combination of Traitors brought a lot of attention to a different generation, and with the onset of streaming, people can go back and watch the old episodes,” he continued. “They don’t have to find a DVD or a VHS tape anymore, so it’s cool to just be introduced to a whole other generation.”
It’s just weird to hear about it from his kids’ friends.
“It’s kind of weird for a teenage girl to be like, ‘Dad, my friends think you’re hot.’ You know what I mean?” he said.
Rob’s friends aren’t the only ones who have marveled at the Survivor winner’s looks from his early TV days. It was even a topic of conversation on The Traitors. Ciara Miller, who got “married” to Rob during a competition on the show, brought it up at the reunion.
“You were so hot — not that you’re not now, but those clips from back in the day were — I was like ‘Oh my god,’ I had no idea,” she said.

With The Traitors season 3 finale airing March 6, Rob hasn’t publicly revealed any further reality appearances. But after playing Survivor five times, The Amazing Race twice, The Traitors and making it to the final four of Deal or No Deal Island season 1, he recognizes the impact those games have had on his life.
“It’s just so crazy,” he said. “Everything I have in my life is because of these shows — meeting my wife, my family, everything.”
Sometimes it’s tough to decide what to do for the weekend. Tax season is over, spring has sprung and outdoor activities like hiking and biking are more attractive now that the weather is good again.
You could stay in and watch a movie or two, but it’s hard to know what’s good or bad. Watch With Us is here to help you spend your time wisely with these three underrated movies that deserve your attention.
One is a legendary 1990s bomb that’s actually enjoyable, another is a movie spinoff of a popular Netflix TV show and the final selection is a Steven Spielberg film almost no one has seen.
‘Waterworld’ (1995)
Everyone’s heard about Waterworld, but have you actually seen it? The movie is known as one of the most notorious box office flops of all time, but that doesn’t make it bad. On the contrary, it’s quite good in a B-movie kind of way, and it’s a fascinating relic of a previous time in Hollywood when bloated action epics were the exception rather than the norm.
In 2500, the polar ice caps have melted and almost the entire world is underwater. For survivors like the Mariner (Kevin Costner), life consists of drifting aimlessly on the high seas and converting his urine into drinkable water. When he encounters Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and young Enola (Tina Majorino) fleeing from the evil Deacon (Dennis Hopper), the Mariner’s life turns into one breathless escape after another. What secret does Enola keep that Deacon so desperately wants? And does the Mariner care enough to help save her and maybe the entire world?
Black Mirror recently returned for season 7 with one episode, “Plaything,” a sort of sequel to the show’s only feature-length movie, Bandersnatch. While not as critically praised as Black Mirror’s TV episodes, the film is worth watching for several reasons, with an interactive component (viewers can choose different narrative paths for the lead character) still standing out as an innovative feature that was ahead of its time.
It’s 1984 England, and Stefan Butler (Fionn Whitehead) is a computer programmer who wants to adapt a “Choose Your Own Adventure”-type book into a revolutionary computer game called Bandersnatch. But as Stefan becomes more obsessed with developing the game, his life soon spirals out of control as he begins to experience hallucinations that involve a traumatic incident from his past. Can Stefan face his inner demons to achieve professional success?
It’s hard to describe how good Bandersnatch is because it depends on which narrative choices the viewer makes. For instance, at the beginning of the film, Stefan (and the viewer) is asked if he wants help developing his game. If he says “yes,” the movie is over in five minutes. But if he says no, Stefan’s strange journey continues, and you experience more of the plot’s twists. Like a video game, Bandersnatch has endless replay value and is just as fascinating to play and watch today as it was seven years ago.
Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is streaming on Netflix.
‘Always’ (1989)
Pete Sandrch (Richard Dreyfuss) is an aerial firefighter who craves excitement and accepts risky jobs that jeopardize his life. But after his longtime girlfriend Dorinda (Holly Hunter) pleads with him to quit, he agrees — but only after he’ll fly one last dangerous mission. Tragically, Pete dies, but his time on Earth isn’t over. Now a guardian angel, he has to make sure Dorinda doesn’t make the same mistakes he did and reassure her that it’s OK to move on without him.
A strange mix of throwback romanticism (the movie is a loose remake of 1943’s A Guy Named Joe) and spiritual fantasy, Always was one of Steven Spielberg’s few box office bombs. It doesn’t quite work — Dreyfuss is miscast as the film’s daredevil hero (Mel Gibson would’ve been better) and the film never decides whether or not it wants to be an action movie or a full-fledged romance. But it still has some terrific sequences that only Spielberg could pull off, and Hunter is appealing as the spunky Dorinda.
Always is streaming on Netflix. It leaves the subscription service on April 30.
Lizzo is feeling herself, and we’re so here for it.
Lizzo, 36, showed off her curves via Instagram on Thursday, April 17. As she posed in front of a mirror, she flaunted a sultry set from her lifestyle brand Yitty featuring a Smoothing Lace Plunge Bralette in a soon-to-be-released hot pink shade. The bralette featured barely-there straps, a purple silhouette with fuchsia details and a stacked bra design.
The singer paired the sizzling piece with the Yitty Smoothing Lace Mid-rise Briefs, which promise to sculpt your figure with soft, breathable fabric that also acts like shapewear. The coordinating design featured a high-cut front, and when she turned around, Lizzo revealed the thong design in the back.
To make the look even more seductive, Lizzo donned flirty makeup including filled-in eyebrows, a soft winged eyeliner with a dark brown shade blended to her crease and a pop of white shadow in her inner corner. She topped off her makeup with a touch of mascara, rosy cheeks and luscious pink lips. Her brunette strands were styled in voluminous curls.
“Smoothing lace is back @yitty,” Lizzo captioned the post. Fans were quick to gush over her figure in the comments section.
“BODY SO TEA I THOUGHT THE BRITISH WERE COMING,” one follower hilariously wrote. A second added, “MEOOOOOOWWWW. Ugh you look so good.” Even more fans commented fire emojis.
“I did it,” she captioned a mirror selfie at the time. “Today, when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal.” Lizzo added, “I haven’t seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder [that] you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!”
“After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave,” Christine wrote via Instagram in November 2021.
The duo, who spiritually tied the knot in March 1994, share six children: daughters Aspyn (born March 1995), Mykelti (born June 1996), Gwendlyn (born October 2001), Ysabel (born June 2003) and Truely (born April 2010) and son Paedon (born August 1998).
Christine was Kody’s third wife, and she initially struggled with the addition of the fourth, Robyn Brown, who legally wed Kody in 2014. He previously began relationships with Meri Brown in April 1990 and Janelle Brown in January 1993. (Both Janelle and Meri confirmed their separations from Kody in December 2022 and January 2023, respectively.)
Sister Wives fans watched the aftermath of Christine and Kody’s split in season 17, which aired in 2022. That same year, Christine moved on with David Woolley, whom she wed in October 2023.
Scroll down for look back at Christine and Kody’s ups and downs over the years:
Christine became Kody's third wife when she was 21 years old. Two months after the wedding, Janelle gave birth to the family's first child, Logan.
Kody married his fourth wife, Robyn, making her the first new wife in the family in 16 years. "I don't wanna be a boat rocker, and I don't like my boat rocked," Christine said of the impending marriage during the Sister Wives series premiere. "I'm a little hesitant to accept another wife. But if it happens, then she just has to be absolutely amazing. Otherwise, it might be a little difficult."
Sister Wives premiered on TLC and instantly became a hit. Some viewers worried that the family's openness might lead to criminal proceedings given that polygamy was (and still is) illegal in Utah, but no charges were ever filed again Kody and his wives. They did sue the state of Utah in 2011 to challenge the state's ban on plural marriage, but the case was later dismissed by the U.S. Court of Appeals in 2016.
Kody told Us Weekly in February 2021 that the family dynamic was getting "weird," but one month later, Christine said she preferred their plural marriage to a monogamous one. "It’s so out there and beyond my understanding to have a guy around every night,” she told Us. “I felt, like, it would cramp my style a lot because I’ve never had that as soon as Kody and I married. I was the third wife. And so, I really liked the independence that I have and I love the freedom that I have. I love that I can just have those evenings where I’m wearing the grossest most comfortable clothes ever and I’m just, you know, curled up on the couch with the girls, eating popcorn and playing games or something. … I feel bad whenever I say things like that — really bad.”
In the same interview, however, she admitted that she sometimes felt like she wasn't "an equal partner in this whole relationship" with Kody and the other wives. "The thing that I struggled with most is when I feel like I don’t have a say or when I feel like I’m not as important or things like that,” she told Us. “Anytime we’ve had major decisions, I go through a time where I’m like, ‘Does my opinion really even matter here?’ That’s when we struggle the most … is when I feel like I don’t really have a say or I don’t really have an opinion.”
Christine became a grandma for the first time when Mykelti gave birth to daughter Avalon. (Kody was already a grandpa of two thanks to Janelle's eldest daughter, Madison.)
During the season 15 finale, Christine shocked her fellow wives by saying that she wanted to move back to Utah. The family had relocated to Arizona in 2018. "We’ve had a rough relationship for a couple of years," Christine said of her husband during an earlier episode.
In the finale, she admitted that she wasn't sure she could continue her relationship with Kody. “Meri, I can’t do marriage with Kody anymore,” she said. “I don’t want to. … It’s not enough.”
During a confessional interview, she explained that she never got comfortable in Arizona. “I agreed to move to Flagstaff, and I followed Kody here, but it’s been a struggle the whole time," she explained. "I’m tired of feeling like I don’t matter, I’m tired of not having his support when I really need it. I’m just tired. I need a partnership. I need something different than this."
After Christine announced her split from Kody, the Brown family patriarch confirmed the news via Instagram. "Christine's decision to leave comes with a great deal of sadness," he wrote. "We enjoyed many years together and I have a large amount of respect and admiration for her. Although we are moving forward on different paths, we will always remain committed parents."
During an episode of the TLC series filmed before their split, Christine appeared to reach her breaking point and turned to Meri for comfort. "You didn't put 30 years into this — 25, 28, wherever you are — to walk away," Meri said after Christine told her she "can't do marriage with Kody anymore."
In a confessional, Christine admitted, "Marriage is hard, but I never wanted the kind of marriage that I have now. I never wanted to be estranged and have extremely limited physical contact — not even hand holding. It's sad. My marriage to Kody is sad."
The pair butted heads during a December episode of Sister Wives when Kody chose to stay home as Christine and daughter Ysabel traveled to New Jersey so the teen could undergo scoliosis surgery. "Ysabel's really hurt that Kody's not here. She's really hurt," Christine said during the December 13 episode. Ysabel later added of her dad, "I think his priorities are a little screwed up. And l don't want to disrespect him because he is my dad and I understand, I do. I do understand why he's doing it, it's just really frustrating and really, really hard."
During an emotional Sister Wives episode, Christine packed up Kody's belongings after he said he wasn't "interested" in being "intimate" with her anymore.
"What did I do so wrong? I always wanted [a] romantic marriage and it's been so hard for so long," she said to the cameras. "I feel like I don't have a choice but to throw his stuff out because I can't — it's too heartbreaking to be around his stuff and it's too heartbreaking to be around him and watch him with Robyn and Janelle and the kids."
“HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!” Christine wrote via Instagram alongside a smiling solo snap on her first V-Day without Kody. “Take a break from this crazy world and focus on family today! #valentines #valentinesday #focus.”
“Kody and I are divorced,” Christine said during part three of the Sister Wives: One on One tell-all special. “We’re completely separate. We’re just gonna be friends, eventually. I just realized I had to make a decision for my heart, and my heart was done being broken. And it felt, well, freeing.”
Kody also confirmed during the tell-all that the two were totally done. “Christine’s moved; she’s left. We are no longer married,” he explained. “I love her, and I don’t know what to do ‘cause I’ve got the grief but I’m still angry. I’ll take the grief right now for a little while just to be out of the anger phase, and then [I’m] just moving on. [I] just [want to] have a good life and find happiness.”
Months after she and Kody called it quits, Christine announced that she had landed her own solo cooking spinoff. “A taste of something new!” the reality star wrote at the time. “#SisterWives’ Christine will be bringing you some of her favorite recipes on the new digital series #CookingWithJustChristine, dropping every Sunday [on Instagram] and on TLC.com.”
Christine gave fans a glimpse at her live without Kody, sharing an adorable photo from her time babysitting her granddaughter. “Practically begged @mykeltip to let me babysit Avalon!” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “She’s absolutely delightful! #oma #babysitting #blessed.”
TLC released the first trailer for season 17 of Sister Wives, teasing the aftershock of Christine and Kody's breakup. "I feel like, to Kody, Robyn's more important," she says in the clip. "I have decided to leave. I’m going to leave Kody. ... I agreed to be a sister wife but I agreed to be an equal wife."
Christine sold her portion of the Coyote Pass property in Flagstaff, Arizona, back to her ex and his fourth wife, Robyn, for $10, according to property records obtained by Us. The sale was signed off on one month prior.
Christine joked about having "high standards" for who she dates after her split from Kody, teasing in a TikTok video that a Warcraft character named Durotan is the "love of my life." She added in the caption, "I would [date] again! Of course, but I'm pretty picky!"
During a season 17 episode of the TLC series — which was filmed in March 2021 — Christine opened up about how strange it felt to be celebrating her and Kody’s anniversary post-split. “For my anniversary, I’m not going to pretend,” she told the cameras, noting that she didn’t spend the day with Kody as she prepared to move to Utah.
“It’s the first time [that] I’ve actually been able to go, ‘Wow, she’s serious about this,’” Kody said during the episode, after revealing he was surprised that Christine didn’t want to post something about their union on social media. “I think I want to keep testing it though.”
Christine, for her part, told viewers: “I don’t consider myself married to him anymore. I don’t wear our wedding rings anymore most of the time. I just feel like they’re a noose. … It felt so good just to take them off.”
After Christine told her fellow sister wives on the show that she was leaving Kody and moving to Utah, the patriarch told the cameras he was still surprised by her choice. “I’ve never understood her need to move. I don’t understand it at all unless there’s some guy she wants to date there,” he said in a confessional from the October 2 episode. “Or she wants to get away from me so my stink isn’t on her so she can date. I think the fact that I was spread so thin … plural marriage just hasn’t worked for her in many, many years.”
Christine, meanwhile, took issue with Kody’s sudden desire to see their youngest daughter, Truely, equally amid her relocation to Utah. “Now he wants 50/50 time with them. Well, hell, he could’ve had 50/50 time with us the whole f—king time we lived here,” she told the cameras. “If he wanted 50/50, he should’ve been around more. He doesn’t get 50/50. He hasn’t been around enough for that.”
“Christine and I have been on the fast track from separation to divorce now for a few months. The last time the family got together was when Christine told us she was leaving,” Kody explained during the October 9 episode of the TLC series, which was filmed in summer 2021. “I feel very separated from the family. I’ve struggled through this process.”
The estranged couple later celebrated daughter Ysabel’s graduation from high school with a Brown family gathering. After seeing everyone getting along, Kody again expressed frustration regarding his and Christine’s split.
“We will never be there again. I’m living in a delusional world where I’m wishing Christine didn’t leave. I’m struggling with sort of a state of regret and frustration,” he said in a confessional. “It’s a weird thing to be getting left. It’s made me question getting into plural marriage. Question my faith. The message we had to the world about functional polygamy seems so dysfunctional now.”
In a first look at a Sister Wives episode shared exclusively with Us, Kody spoke candidly about how Christine moving out so quickly made him feel.
"It feels hostile to me. I feel like she's done this as a backstab because she could’ve started talking to me about our relationship a long time ago. And she didn’t, and she drops this on me … and to me it seems really, really rushed. She’s been ready to get out the door from the time that she told me she wanted to stop staying [here]," he said in a confessional.
Nearly one year after she announced their split, Christine exclusively told Us that things were still tense between them. “So, I haven’t talked to him in person for a while," she explained at the time. “All I’ve seen are the episodes, for a while, and what I’ve heard from like Janelle [Brown] who still speaks with him and stuff too. … I think he is just so hurt still and just processing it a lot slower."Though she revealed that they do "communicate back and forth" in order to arrange for Kody to see their youngest daughter, she doesn't “think it’s coparenting quite yet.” The reality star noted that when Truely won Student of the Month at school, "I called him and told him. I sent him a picture ... so he called her and congratulated her."
“I did love the idea of a family. Of having sister wives, of raising kids together,” Christine told Kody during a season 17 episode of the TLC series. “It is an important part of a plural family, that each relationship and each marriage is strong too. We always talk about the spokes in a wheel, and when there’s a spoke that’s broken, how do we keep it going?”
She later confessed: “I did so much for the family. It was all about having family functions and family get-togethers and family parties. My house was always open to everybody. I loved the big family activities that we had. The big family is great. But when you feel like you’re a minimal person in Kody’s big picture, and you really don’t even matter in the big picture, it changes the perspective on everything.”
The TV personality told the cameras that she eventually had to stop focusing on the “big picture” of their plural family and choose herself. “I’ve been heartbroken for years,” Christine said. “I was tired of being heartbroken. Just tired. You don’t think I stayed for the big picture as long as I did? Because I wanted it to work?”
Kody, meanwhile, couldn’t get over the feeling of abandonment from Christine. “If I really boil it down, if I bring it to the core of what’s going on, it feels like after all I have done, I’m being rejected anyway,” he said in a confessional. “And it’s just not rejection for me, it’s rejection for some of my kids and my other wives.”
Christine revealed how she felt hearing her ex-husband say during a season 17 Sister Wives episode that he “wasn’t attracted” to her on their wedding day. “Actually, that was an empowering moment, as hard as it was,” she said during an episode of the “Reality Life With Kate Casey” podcast. “I kind of look back and I’m like, ‘Ah, I can see where you weren’t here and here and here and here and here and here.’ But you know what, if this has been happening for this long, I’m done. It’s over. I’m not going to keep pretending and I’m not going to keep doing this.”
The mother of six added: “If you really haven’t been attracted to me, and if you really didn’t really want a relationship with me, and you didn’t really want to spend time with me … it was almost like this burden got lifted. And I was like, ‘Alright, then it’s time to move on.'”
Christine claimed during part 3 of Sister Wives: One-on-One that Kody found his “soulmate” with Robyn, which didn’t leave much room for anyone else. “Kody and I had something special. We really honestly had something special,” she said. “But then when I needed his help and he wouldn’t give it to me it kind of was this click. Where I’m like, ‘I’ve done everything for you and you can’t give this to me.’”
The mother of six alleged: “Then he and Robyn met and he was everything for her and it seemed like she was also everything for him. They were just this unit together.”
Kody, meanwhile, insisted that Christine’s perception of his dynamic with Robyn was “a lot of sour grapeing.” He noted that if she was “envious” of their relationship she should have given “the energy and the effort in the relationship for that connection.”
Elsewhere in the episode, the patriarch revealed that he harbors no ill will toward his ex-wife. “One of the kids told me, ‘Dad, mom says you have your soulmate and she wants hers,’” Kody said about Christine. “I hope she finds her soulmate.”
Christine appeared to shade her ex while paying tribute to her fiancé, Woolley, on Father’s Day. The TLC personality called Woolley a “loving, compassionate and present” father with both his eight children and her and Kody’s six kids. “You’re truly showing up, which is what is most important,” she added. “Thanks @david__woolley, my love. #fathersday #showingup #thewaytoawomansheart #loveofmylife.”
Fans were quick to point out Christine’s choice to leave Kody out of the post, with one user commenting, “Dang if that ain’t a big old middle finger to Kody Brown 🤣.”
In the Sister Wives season 18 premiere, Kody shed light on the family's "strained" dynamic. "I mean, it almost feels like a civil war," he said in a confessional. "Christine moved me out of her house a year ago and she said we were divorced. ... I feel so betrayed after all that I have done for this marriage and to have her sort of s–t talk me to the kids, I kind of feel like in my heart, I just never wanna see her again. I wanna spend some time hating her."
During the episode, however, the exes met up to discuss holiday plans.
Christine filed a lawsuit against Kody over custody of their daughter Truely. According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Christine asked the court to establish Truely’s paternity because Kody’s name is not on her birth certificate. Christine also requested child support and a domestic relations injunction, preventing the exes from making decisions about their kids without the other’s permission.
Despite being married to David for more than one year, Christine exclusively told Us that she gets “frustrated and hurt” watching Kody’s negative remarks about their past relationship on screen. “Having to hear what’s being said about you behind your back is really difficult,” she confessed.
Christine noted that even with the insult-slinging on camera, she is in a happier place now that she and Kody are divorced. “Kody doesn’t define me — I define me,” she told Us.
Not everyone noticed that Minka Kelly‘s boyfriend, Dan Reynolds, made a cameo on her newest Netflix show, Ransom Canyon.
During the show’s ninth episode, which premiered on Thursday, April 17, Reynolds, 37, was caught in the middle of brothers-in-law Staten (Josh Duhamel) and Davis (Eoin Macken). The Imagine Dragons singer didn’t interact with his girlfriend — who, onscreen, is caught in a love triangle with Staten and Davis.
Kelly, 44, confirmed Reynolds’ surprise on screen appearance, telling People that he was “such a good sport” about the cameo and “down to play.”
“He came to visit and everyone, all the producers and writers, just naturally fell in love with him, like you do,” Kelly added. “It’s easy to love Dan.”
Duhamel, 52, also had nothing but praise for Reynolds, adding, “He’s an amazingly talented dude on many different fronts, but it takes one or two or three, maybe a couple, scenes, and all those nerves go away.”
The couple initially sparked romance rumors in late 2022 after Reynolds’ split from his wife, Aja Volkman, following a decade of marriage.
“After 7 beautiful years together, Aja and I’s marriage has come to an end,” Reynolds tweeted at the time. ”Our children continue to be the most important thing in our lives, & we will continue to coparent them with all our love. I ask that you please respect our privacy at this time as we work through this as a family.”
A source exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2022 that Reynolds and Kelly were enjoying each other’s company.
Netflix
“These are obviously early days for Minka and Dan but it’s going great and they’re both incredibly happy,” the insider shared. “Being back on the singles’ scene after long relationships has been a challenging adjustment for each of them, so they’re taking their time and easing into it as opposed to running before they can walk, so to speak. But so far, so good, and they’re having fun, getting along great.”
Reynolds was not the only surprise onscreen cameo. Duhamel’s wife, Audra Mari, also filmed a scene for the Netflix western that never saw the light of day.
“My wife was on the show too. Yeah, she did a cameo,” Duhamel, 52, told People on Friday, April 18, after the show premiered all ten episodes. “She was [Eoin Macken’s character] Davis’ girlfriend [that] he brought to the party, but they cut her out! Poor thing.”
Duhamel recalled how Mari, 31, was put “through all that hair and makeup” before they “cut her out,” adding, “She saw it with me.”
Based on Jodi Thomas‘ book series, Ransom Canyon introduces Texas Hill Country where Duhamel’s Staten Kirkland is grieving two major losses while navigating his undeniable connection to childhood friend Quinn (Kelly), who has also caught the eye of Staten’s brother-in-law and love triangle rival Davis (Macken).
