Stewart quickly became a fan favorite after her big break in 2009 when she starred as Bella Swan in Twilight. Since, she’s donned delicate gowns, vibrant coats, bodysuits and more on the red carpet. In March 2022, she looked radiant in a sheer Chanel gown at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Her dress featured a plunging neckline, lace design and bow at her waist.
For glam, Stewart — who is a brand ambassador for Chanel — donned black eyeliner and warm eyeshadow. Her blonde hair was styled in a messy updo.
While Stewarts red carpet looks are always a hit, her street style is just as noteworthy.
In March 2024, she made headlines for going pantsless in New York City while rocking cable knit underwear. She paired the piece with an unbuttoned oxford blouse and maroon heels.
That same month, she looked seriously stylish in a bralette and a leather blazer while out and about in the Big Apple. She teamed her getup with sheer stockings and a black miniskirt.

Elijah Blue Allman’s wife, Marieangela King Allman, is taking steps to end their marriage.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday, April 9, Marieangela filed for divorce in Los Angeles after more than 11 years of marriage.
She is citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the split and listed March 31 as the day of separation. (TMZ was first to report the news.)
In court documents, Marieangela is requesting $6,000 per month in temporary spousal support based on marital standard and ability for her estranged husband to pay.
She is also requesting exclusive use of the couple’s residence and their vehicle, which is a 2017 Toyota Prius V. If Elijah chooses to keep the vehicle, Marieangela requested an additional $2,000 one-time payment and $500 per month so she can acquire a vehicle for her own use.
Because Elijah and Marieangela don’t have any children, there are no custody issues to work through.
The divorce filing comes a year after Elijah made headlines for a legal battle with his mom, Cher.
In January 2024, the “Believe” singer filed for a conservatorship of her son due to his alleged substance abuse issues. According to court documents obtained by People, Cher, 78, asked to be the sole conservator of her son’s estate, claiming that he is “substantially unable to manage his financial resources.”

Elijah later filed an objection to Cher’s request for a temporary conservator saying, “I have struggled with addiction, but I am not mentally ill.”
In September 2024, however, Rolling Stone confirmed that Cher had dropped her quest for a court-ordered conservatorship after reaching a private settlement with the only child she shares with the late musician Gregg Allman. (Cher also shares son Chaz Bono with ex-husband Sonny Bono.)
“I’m pleased to report that following a mediation with [two private judges], the parties have privately resolved this matter, and petitioner now wishes to end these legal proceedings,” Cher’s lawyer told the court via Rolling Stone.
This isn’t the first time Marieangela and Elijah have found themselves separated.
While Jason Isaacs’ tumultuous trip to The White Lotus might be in the rearview mirror, he still had some choice words for his character’s alma mater.
Isaacs, 61, played Timothy Ratliff on season 3 of the HBO drama, which saw the disgraced father of three frequently wearing a t-shirt repping Duke University. One particular scene saw Isaacs raise a gun to his head while wearing the shirt, which instantly became a meme on social media.
While the Internet had a field day, the school issued a statement saying Duke’s representation on the show caused unnecessary “confusion.”
“I found the whole thing faintly amusing,” Isaacs said on the Tuesday, April 8, episode of the “Prestige Junkie” podcast. “I don’t like anyone getting upset about anything, but clearly it was just someone fancy seeing their name and in some department wanting to go viral.”
Isaacs continued, “Their real-life alumni are such a rogue’s gallery, many of them. The notion that this rather spiritually-enlightened character on television caused them any trouble is fanciful and ridiculous.”
The actor explained he actually had a connection to the Carolinas — Duke is located in Durham, North Carolina — dating back to filming of the 2000 movie The Patriot, which was shot on location in South Carolina. Isaacs played Colonel William Tavington in the film, which starred Mel Gibson as Colonel Benjamin Martin.

“I was just over the border in South Carolina,” Isaacs explained. “We were in Rock Hill. I went to Charlotte quite often. I went to North Carolina. I’m an explorer. At the time, I was playing a lot of golf. So I went to a lot of golf clubs and I met an awful lot of Ratliffs.”
Charlotte, as luck would have it, played a role in Isaacs’ wardrobe choice at a screening of The White Lotus season finale on Sunday, April 6.
Isaacs showed up to the event wearing a shirt emblazoned with Duke’s Blue Devils’ logo, which he had recently purchased while being stuck at the Charlotte airport.
“I bought the t-shirt because the airline canceled my flight and took my bags away and I had nothing to change into,” he said. “It was the only outlet there.”
Isaacs explained that he didn’t even realize it was a Duke University shirt, but once he found out he couldn’t resist. “I also thought it might cause a bit of mischief,” he said.
Duke University issued a statement pushing back against the school’s name and likeness in The White Lotus last month.
“Duke appreciates artistic expression and creative storytelling,” Duke’s vice president for communications, marketing and public affairs, Frank Tramble, told The New York Times on March 26. “But characters prominently wearing apparel bearing Duke’s federally registered trademarks creates confusion and mistakenly suggests an endorsement or affiliation where none exists.”
Tramble further argued that The White Lotus “not only uses our brand without permission, but in our view uses it on imagery that is troubling, does not reflect our values or who we are, and simply goes too far.”
Jai Rodriguez is headed to Genoa City, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal.
Rodriguez, 45, has joined the Young and the Restless cast in a guest role capacity. He will play Pietro, who is described as “a successful and sought-out party planner to the movers and shakers in Genoa City.”
Pietro has been hired by the Newman family to throw a birthday party for the family’s matriarch Nikki Newman, played by Melody Thomas Scott. The Newman family is one of the core broods on the series, which includes its patriarch Victor Newman portrayed by Eric Braeden. (Both Braeden, 84, and Scott, 68, have been staples on Young and the Restless for the past four decades.)
Rodriguez will appear in four episodes, with the first installment airing on May 28.
This isn’t Rodriguez’s first experience in the soap world. He made his TV debut on All My Children in 1993 as Faith’s father. He also appeared on Days of Our Lives in 2012.
Rodriguez is best known for being one of the original members of the Fab Five on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. In addition to Rodriguez, the Bravo series starred Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley, Kyan Douglas and Ted Allen. On the groundbreaking reality series, Rodriguez was the group’s pop culture, relationships and social interaction expert, earning himself the nickname the “Culture Vulture.”

Rodriguez has also guest starred on episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, Dollface, The Resident, The Rookie, High Potential and others. As for Rodriguez’s film credits, he recently played Jason in Judd Apatow’s comedy Bros alongside Billy Eichner and Luke Macfarlane.

If it feels like strawberry motifs are everywhere this spring, you’re not wrong. Strawberry scented lip balms, body washes, perfumes and even hand creams seem to have ripened overnight. “When did strawberries become the new llamas? I can’t move without seeing strawberry something,” Bethenny Frankel recently joked about on TikTok.
The Real Housewives of New York City alum isn’t complaining, though. Frankel recently took to TikTok to showcase her favorite strawberry finds. In a sea of products — many of which can smell like artificial strawberry candy — she found one that could pass for a freshly picked berry: the TonyMoly Strawberry Hand Cream. Bonus: It’s nearly half-off at Amazon!
“[This] smells like actual, real fresh strawberries,” Frankel raves in the video. Beyond the mouth-watering aroma, Frankel also loves the adorable packaging: The hand cream is housed in a giant strawberry-shaped container. “Cute factor overload,” she adds.
The formula, which is enriched with strawberry extract, features nourishing shea butter to deeply soften and repair dry, cracked hands. Frankel noticed a difference from the first use, and she keeps coming back for the delectable, long-lasting strawberry scent. It’s no secret that Frankel is a fan of affordable beauty finds. This delightful hand cream is only $12 right now — almost half off its original $20 price tag.
Frankel isn’t the only person singing this hand cream’s praises. Amazon shoppers have fallen in love with the product and mention that the cutesy packaging is just the cherry (err strawberry) on top of an overall effective body moisturizer.
“This lotion smells divine and the container is really cute,” one reviewer writes. “I generally don’t buy stuff with over-the-top packaging. It is a bit much — just a small amount in large plastic strawberry — but I did justify it to myself by thinking, ‘well I will just re-use this cute container!'”
Another shopper says a major selling point is the kitschy container: “Despite this being a big hunk of plastic, I love it,” they say. “The cream itself is very rich and strawberry-y. This child of the 70s (remember Strawberry Shortcake dolls?) finds some nostalgia in it. Also, I will use this container long after the lotion is gone to hold some little stash.”
We could all use a little extra joy in our lives, and the TonyMoly Strawberry Hand Cream certainly delivers. At this price, we’re gifting one to all our friends this spring!
Ryan Reynoldsstepped out on his own in the Big Apple amid ongoing legal drama with wife Blake Lively’s It Ends With Us director, Justin Baldoni.
Reynolds, 48, was photographed walking in New York City on Wednesday, April 9, dressed casually in a gray cardigan and matching sweatpants. The actor completed his ensemble with a peach-colored T-shirt and a pair of sunglasses.
Reynolds and Lively, 37, have both been keeping relatively low profiles amid the ongoing lawsuit. She first accused Baldoni, 41, of sexual harassment and fostering a hostile work environment on the set of 2024’s It Ends With Us in court documents filed late last year.
Baldoni vehemently denied the claims, later naming Lively and Reynolds in a $400 million defamation suit. The married couple rebuffed the accusations, each filing to dismiss the case in March.
“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,” Reynolds’ attorneys Mike Gottlieb and Esra Hudson told Us in a statement last month. “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.”
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, subsequently argued that Reynolds’ request should be denied given his alleged involvement in the film’s production. (Lively even claimed at the August 2024 premiere that Reynolds helped rewrite a pivotal scene in the script without the screenwriter’s knowledge.)
“Mr. Reynolds’ exploitation of his enormous power in Hollywood continues, this time arrogantly asking to be dismissed from the case despite his publicly documented involvement extending far beyond just being a ‘supportive spouse,’” Freedman told Us. “Reynolds was a key player in the scheme, defaming Justin around Hollywood, strong-arming WME into dropping Justin as a client, and trying to destroy Justin’s career however possible. His fingerprints have been all over this smear campaign against Justin and the Wayfarer team since day one.”
The attorney added, “Mr. Reynolds now attempts to reduce plainly cognizable claims to ‘hurt feelings,’ sending a clear message that bullying is acceptable. After lighting a match, Mr. Reynolds now seeks to run from the flames. It won’t work. The Wayfarer Parties’ claims against him are real, and they are serious.”
A judge has yet to rule on Lively and Reynolds’ respective motions to dismiss. A trial date is currently slated for spring 2026.
Hailey Bieber made a striking appearance while flying solo at the third annual Fashion Trust Awards, held on Tuesday, April 8, in West Hollywood.
For the star-studded soirée, the model and Rhode beauty mogul chose a curve-skimming aubergine-colored gown by Saint Laurent, a luxury label for which she serves as an ambassador and enjoys a close relationship with its creative director, Anthony Vaccarello.
While Hailey, 28, opted to skip the traditional red carpet, she played a significant role inside the event, presenting Vaccarello with the Honorary Award in recognition of his profound impact on the fashion industry.
Notably absent from the event was Hailey’s husband, Justin Bieber (who share a son, Jack Blues, 7 months). However, the singer made sure to publicly show his support for his wife’s stunning look by taking to Instagram to post a photo of Hailey in her elegant attire, followed by a close-up selfie of her, too.
Justin, 31, chose to let the images speak for themselves, foregoing a caption. Still, his sweet gesture resonated with fans, as evidenced by supportive comments like “Gotta support our better halves .”
Another follower echoed this sentiment, writing, “Justin is always super supportive to Hailey. Bro posts more about Hailey than himself .”

Hailey’s choice of attire, a chic aubergine halter dress, perfectly embodied her and Vaccarello’s shared aesthetic of restrained yet striking glamour. The dress featured a distinctive wraparound, ruched fabric, strategically placed cut-outs and a sheer skirt, creating a sultry, alluring silhouette.
She even coordinated her nails to match the deep purple hue of her dress, a departure from her usual “glazed donut” manicure, opting instead for an eggplant shade. Her glam remained characteristically understated and beautifully natural, featuring a subtle lip tint and highlighter.
She complemented the look with a few Tiffany & Co. cocktail rings, allowing the dress to take center stage. Her brunette hair was styled down with soft, barely-there curls, while her signature lit-from-within glowing skin completed the polished ensemble’s subtle sheen.
During the evening, Hailey and Vaccarello were seen posing together, enjoying chicken nuggets topped with caviar and even filming an Instagram Story dancing and singing at their star table.

Hailey also mingled with other stylish guests, including Normani, who donned vintage Geoffrey Beene, as well as Lori Harvey and Ciara. Other fashionable attendees included Julia Fox, who embraced a bold and theatrical Marni polka-dot frock (replete with vaudevillian makeup), model Aweng Chuol in Oude Wang and Kehlani in a look by Grace Ling.
Meanwhile, Hailey delivered a heartfelt speech honoring Vaccarello’s contributions. According to Vogue, she gushed, “There is a purpose in every stitch. Anthony Vaccarello, your journey is a testament to the transformative power of fashion, and we are so proud to celebrate you.”
Ashton Kutcher became a stepdad in his mid-20s when he married his first wife, Demi Moore, who shares three daughters with ex-husband Bruce Willis.
“I was 26, bearing the responsibility of an 8-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 12-year-old,” the That ‘70s Show alum told Esquire in January 2023, recalling his role as a father figure to Moore and Willis’ daughters, Rumer, ScoutandTallulah, when he married the Now and Then actress in 2005.
“That’s how some teen parents must experience their 20s,” he reflected.
Though Kutcher had his own biological children with wife Mila Kunis after he and Moore finalized their divorce in 2013, he still “make[s] a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls,” the Dude, Where’s My Car? actor shared on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast in 2020. “I love them, and I’m never going to stop loving them, right? And respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they’re pursuing.”
The Willis girls, for their part, have also discussed what it was like having Kutcher as a stepdad — which admittedly came with some “weird” moments.
Rumer toldHoward Stern in 2015 that she had a crush on the Two and a Half Men alum before her mom began dating him in 2003.
“It was definitely weird for a minute, but I have to commend him. He was a really great stepfather. The perspective switched quickly,” the House Bunny star shared at the time. “That’s when you open up your Teen Beat, you take him down and put somebody else up. I feel like I told my sister that at some point, ‘Gotta cross him off the list.’”
Keep scrolling to see what Kutcher and his former stepdaughters have said about each other through the years:
“It was definitely weird for a minute, but I have to commend him,” Rumer told Stern in 2015 when reflecting on her early 2000s crush on Kutcher — before he became her stepdad. “He was a really great stepfather. The perspective switched quickly. That’s when you open up your Teen Beat, you take him down and put somebody else up. I feel like I told my sister that at some point, ‘Gotta cross him off the list.’”
As for her thoughts on Moore marrying a man 15 years her junior? “I was kind of impressed,” the Dancing With the Stars alum quipped. “I was like ‘Yeah girl, get it!’”
“So much of that time, especially with Ashton, I was so angry because I felt like something that was mine had been taken away,” she recalled on Red Table Talk in 2015. “When she wanted to have another baby, and then it wasn’t happening, and then there was so much focus on that, it was like, ‘Oh we’re not enough.’”
Tallulah felt “forgotten” in her mom’s marriage to Kutcher, she explained on Red Table Talk. (Moore, for her part, admitted she was emotionally distant due to her “addiction” to Kutcher.)
“I developed and I nurtured a narrative that she didn’t love me,” Tallulah said. “I truly believed it. And I know that she does. 100 percent, but in that moment, you’re hurt. And you can’t fathom that someone that loves you would do that to you. And would [choose] others more than you.”
While Kutcher and his former stepdaughters “don’t hang out,” the Your Place or Mine actor told Maron in 2020, “I make a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls. I love them, and I’m never going to stop loving them, right? And respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they’re pursuing.”
“I was 26, bearing the responsibility of an 8-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 12-year-old,” Kutcher told Esquire in January 2023. “That’s how some teen parents must experience their 20s.”
“It was, like, 2003, [and] my mom had just started dating Ashton,” she recalled to Stars on Mars 20 years later, in June 2023. “It was that moment, [when] a lot [was] going on, [that] I really went inside of myself. … That did send me into, like, a total dumpster fire. It was really hard, and I’m still unpacking.”
Tallulah reacted to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Instagram video in April 2025 with husband Brad Falchuk about navigating step-parenting. “I have a lot to say on this! Especially how to move through an ex- step parent ❤️❤️,” Tallulah wrote.
After one user asked whether she was referring to Kutcher, Tallulah replied, “This maybe should have been a private message lol but yes I have personal experience with this.” Tallulah noted that it’s “an important conversation,” adding, “No one needs to be [a] bad guy for a situation to be healed. there’s room for everyone.”
When you’re expecting a baby — especially if it happens to be your first — you spend a lot of time going down rabbit holes online. Googling weird symptoms (“mustard on cake craving normal?”), researching unique baby names and, of course, lapping up any stories you can find about celebrities at a similar life stage.
That’s why many moms-to-be eagerly devoured the stories Meghan Markle and Kylie Kelce shared this week — only to find themselves freaking out about what might lie ahead. Sure, it’s refreshing when celebrities open up and offer a more unfiltered view of their lives, but it can also be pretty confronting.
Meghan, 43, opened up about her postpartum experience in the first episode of her new “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast released on Tuesday, April 8 —chatting with Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd about the fact that both women had suffered from postpartum preeclampsia, a life-threatening condition in new moms.
“It’s so rare and so scary, and you’re still trying to juggle all of these things and the world doesn’t know what’s happening quietly,” said the mom of Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. “In the quiet, you’re still trying to show up for people, and in the quiet, you’re still just trying to show up mostly for your children. But those things are huge medical scares.” Herd chimed in that the condition was “life or death, truly.” (While Meghan didn’t specify which of her pregnancies her frightening experience came after, it’s believed that the condition came during her postpartum period with Archie.)
Meanwhile, Kylie, 33, spoke about her pregnancy experiences and postpartum mental health on the Thursday, April 3 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, recorded just two days after giving birth to her daughter Finnley, her fourth with Jason Kelce. (The couple also share Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4 and Bennett, 2.)
While Kylie emphasized how grateful she is to have kids, she admitted that she didn’t enjoy pregnancy, as well as struggling with the emotional ups and downs of new motherhood. “You can have these thoughts and feelings, you can have these anxious moments, you can have this rage, experience this range of emotion, or even a step further, an actual mood disorder postpartum,” she said. “But you can still love your child and be happy that your child is here and be happy to be a mother and to be grateful for the experience.”
It’s powerful when these high-profile women use their own platforms to be super-candid about life as new moms (“that dual-experience”, as Kelce called it) — but it can also be seriously anxiety-inducing for women terrified about the huge changes their bodies, minds and whole lives are about to go through (as many as 70% of women experience anxiety and stress during pregnancy!).
Of course, there are even some big stars talking about motherhood who haven’t experienced it themselves —like Chappell Roan who incited a million reactionary TikToks and online think pieces when she said on the March 26 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that all of her friends with kids are miserable. “‘I actually don’t know anyone who is happy and has children at this age,” said the 27-year-old singer. “I have literally not met anyone who is happy, anyone who has light in their eyes, anyone who has slept.”
Sure, new moms are tired — and some old moms are pretty tired too, thanks for asking — but it’s important to remember when consuming these dramatic sound bites that everyday motherhood doesn’t often make headlines. People don’t talk much about the ordinary stuff, because they’re too busy living it, and it’s often not very interesting to outsiders (especially if you’re one of Roan’s old high school friends and feeling like your life might be a little boring and basic compared to your insanely talented pop star pal).
Just like no one writes a Yelp review to say their mid-range chain hotel stay was “perfectly fine”, few women go online to say their pregnancy was boring, their birth was painful but routine, and now they’re just… getting on with it. What shows up on social media and in the news is the extreme — because that’s what gets attention.
Right now, motherhood has too many different publicists all telling a different story because ultimately, every experience is unique. There are highs, lows, health scares, first smiles, pain, pleasure, good nights, bad nights, nights you’ve blocked out entirely and more different shades of bodily fluid than you ever imagined existed. But, almost all of the time, moms are glad to be moms.
As Kylie Kelce put it, there’s one thing moms from all walks of life have in common, and that’s guilt; guilt that their own, perfectly unique version of motherhood isn’t the right one and that they’re not enjoying it enough.
“It’s so important for women to hear that specifically because there is still that immense amount of guilt associated with the fact that you would even think, ‘What would happen if,’ or that you aren’t finding joy in everyday life, or it feels redundant that you get up every day and you do breakfast, and you do this, and you do that, and it’s the same routine every [day],” she said. “And so I think that the idea of encouraging women to speak out when they’re having those moments, the liberating feeling will be worth it.”
So sure, listen to this new breed of emotionally open celebrities and appreciate them for using their huge platforms to raise awareness of rare health issues and the challenges of pregnancy, birth and motherhood, instead of sugar-coating everything. Someone as famous as Duchess Meghan talking about a thankfully rare condition like postpartum preeclampsia could genuinely save lives.
And sure, watch the influencers dismantling all the celebrities’ hard work with their perfect, pastel-toned nurseries, suspiciously stain-free outfits and easy-breezy take on motherhood. They can’t help it; they mostly learned it from the celebrities who came before.
Even Meghan’s guest, Herd, remarked on the podcast that she herself had been intimidated by unrealistic images of motherhood — by Meghan! “I was either just becoming or about to become a new mom and I was like, ‘Oh my God, how is this woman doing this? How is this woman putting on heels and going and debuting a child in this beautiful outfit in front of the entire world?’,” she said. “I could barely face a doorbell delivery for takeout food in a robe. I was like, ‘Please don’t look at me! Leave it down the street!’”
Just remember to talk to the real moms in your network, too. Chances are, most of them don’t have any extreme, scary medical stories and will probably say “Hmm, pregnancy was kinda boring and I felt sick to start with and then mostly just a little tired, and the birth? Yeah, it hurt but I’m OK now. And motherhood, it’s—” before getting interrupted by a baby yanking on their nursing bra.
Because that’s the version of motherhood you’ll usually see if you take out the Airpods and log out of social media: it’s not dramatic or devastating or perfectly filtered, just lived — with eye bags, caffeine and a lot of love.
Michelle Obamashut down rampant speculation that she and her husband, former president Barack Obama, are ending their marriage.
“I still care about girls’ education. The library is opening in a year from now, [but there are] certain things I am and am not doing with the library,” Michelle, 61, said on the Tuesday, April 8, episode of Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” iHeartRadio podcast. “But, the interesting thing is that when I say no [to a project], for the most part, people are like, ‘I get it’ and I’m OK. That’s the thing that we as women struggle with — disappointing people.”
She added, “I mean, so much so that this year people were, they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing. This couldn’t be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself. But, that’s what society does to us. We start actually finally going, ‘What am I doing? Who am I doing this for?’”
According to Michelle, if actions don’t “fit into the stereotype of what people think we should do,” they will get “labeled as something negative and horrible.”
Michelle and Barack, 63, have been married since 1992 after meeting a decade earlier during their early legal careers in Chicago. They welcomed daughters Malia and Sasha in 1998 and 2001, respectively. Seven years after Sasha was born, Barack was elected president of the United States. After two consecutive terms, Barack left the White House in 2016.
Since the end of his presidency, both Barack and Michelle have worked on joint and individual projects.
“There’s always got to be drama, if it doesn’t look like other people’s choices,” Bush, 42, speculated on Wednesday. “I think for both of you, as a viewer from the outside, … I’m like, ‘God, look at them being happy. I love this. You’re back and forth to Hawaii.’ Please let my life be so dramatic on my 61st birthday.”
“Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama,” he gushed via X. “You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace — and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you!”
The conversation began when Willis, 31, weighed in after Gwyneth Paltrow shared an Instagram post with husband Brad Falchuk about navigating stepparenting. (Paltrow, 52, shares daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 19, with ex-husband Chris Martin, while Falchuk, 54, is the father of daughter Isabella, 19, and son Brody, 20, whom he shares with ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik.)
“I have a lot to say on this! Especially how to move through an ex- step parent ,” Willis wrote.
One user then asked whether she was referring to Kutcher, and Willis replied, “This maybe should have been a private message lol but yes I have personal experience with this.”
Willis noted that it’s “an important conversation,” adding, “No one needs to be [a] bad guy for a situation to be healed. there’s room for everyone.”
Moore, now 62, and Kutcher, now 47, tied the knot in 2005 when Willis was 8 years old. (Moore also shares daughters Scout and Rumer with ex-husband Bruce Willis, from whom she split in 2000.)

Us Weekly broke the news in 2011 that Kutcher was allegedly unfaithful. Moore announced the twosome’s separation later that year. Their divorce was finalized in 2013, two years before Kutcher tied the knot with Mila Kunis. (Kutcher shares daughter Wyatt, 10, and son Dimitri, 8, with Kunis, 41.)
Tallulah has been candid about how her mom’s marriage to Kutcher negatively impacted her childhood. She shared in a June 2023 episode of Stars on Mars that she “didn’t fully understand” the attention surrounding her family until Moore’s romance with Kutcher.
“It was, like, 2003, [and] my mom had just started dating Ashton,” Tallulah recalled. “It was that moment [when] a lot [was] going on [that] I really went inside of myself. That did send me into, like, a total dumpster fire. It was really hard, and I’m still unpacking.”
Kutcher, who was 15 years younger than Moore, has also been open about becoming a stepfather in his 20s to Moore’s three daughters.
“I was 26, bearing the responsibility of an 8-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 12-year-old,” he told Esquire in January 2023 in response to Moore’s memoir, Inside Out, which detailed their relationship ups and downs. “That’s how some teen parents must experience their 20s.”
Despite his split from Moore, Kutcher shared that he still “make[s] a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls.” He shared on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast in 2020. “I love them, and I’m never going to stop loving them, right? And respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they’re pursuing.”

The Hoxis Oversized Weekender Tote topped her list. “I always travel with one of these on top of my rolling bag,” she gushed before holding up the bag. “This is what I would put all of the things I need on the plane,” Richards added before listing essentials like face cream and eye patches.

It’s sturdy, and it has an inside pocket,” they continued. “This one is perfect. And it’s a great value for the money.”

Two weeks after welcoming a baby girl with ex-girlfriend Megan Fox, the rapper shared a post from the satirical website The Onion via his Instagram Story that depicted him as the child in the relationship.
“Megan Fox Confirms She and New Baby Will Co-parent Machine Gun Kelly,” the headline read.
Kelly, 34, added three laughing emojis on top of the post.
Kelly proposed to Fox, 38, in 2022, but revealed their split shortly before the Transformers star announced her pregnancy last November. A source told Us Weekly at the time that the pair was “doing their best to cope in their own ways after calling it quits.”
Fox is also the mother of Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8, whom she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Kelly also parents 15-year-old daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon.
In the leadup to their daughter’s arrival, Kelly made headlines for his ongoing feud with Green, 51. Tensions reached a boiling point the day the baby was born, when Green posted scathing direct messages that appeared to be from Kelly.
“Stop asking when our child is gonna born. You the FEDS,” one message read. “Quit calling TMZ and focus on that apology you owe me for speaking on my name in public.”
The message continued, “You chose the wrong one to f*** with mr child actor. Go back to cereal commercials.”
Later that day, Kelly took to Instagram to announce the baby’s arrival.
“She’s finally here!! our little celestial seed ,” he wrote under a short video featuring the newborn’s hands appearing to grasp Fox’s. “3/27/25.”
In the time since, a source tells Us that “the baby has brought [Fox and Kelly] closer together,” though they have no plans to rekindle their romantic relationship anytime soon.
“The baby is already wrapped around his finger,” the insider continued. “Megan has noticed his energy is different, the look in his eyes is different, his aura has changed. She feels the baby is exactly what he needed, and she is hoping it sticks.”
The source characterized their relationship as “still complicated,” adding that it’s “a mix of healing and hard conversations that they have had.” Fox remains worried that Kelly will “change” again and become “the guy she doesn’t know.”
“Megan has really leaned into motherhood again,” a source said. “She loved when her kids were little and has missed that phase. She feels renewed and refreshed.”
“After continued pain and concerns that could no longer be ignored, we sought medical attention, only to receive news no one ever expects to hear,” Amy, 38, told People on Wednesday, April 9. “Dillon has been diagnosed with a severe diaphragmatic rupture — an extremely rare and dangerous condition that has caused vital organs, including his kidney and parts of his digestive system, to shift into his chest cavity.”
After Dillon, 37, underwent CT scans, doctors found a four-inch tear in his diaphragm and discovered that his right kidney, appendix, colon and small intestines had all been “displaced” inside the body.
“Doctors have made it clear that this is not a quick fix,” Amy told the outlet. “The risks are high, the procedures complex and the recovery uncertain. We are taking this one moment at a time, clinging to hope, prayer, and the wisdom of the medical teams who are now walking this road with us.”
According to Amy, her spouse is currently hospitalized but is in stable condition.
TLC
“This has shaken our family deeply,” Amy said. “Dillon is a fighter — anyone who knows him knows his strength — but even the strongest among us sometimes face battles we never anticipated. … We will share more as we’re able, but for now, our focus is on Dillon’s health, our family’s faith and the fight in front of us.”
Amy revealed via Instagram earlier this month that Dillon had been taken to the hospital to address “possible life-threatening medical concerns.”
“Today, I’d like to ask for some prayers on his behalf,” Amy wrote in a birthday tribute. “I know God has him, but we welcome the prayers!! I can’t think of a better gift for him! Dillon, we can get through anything together.”
Amy’s cousins Jessa Duggar, Jinger Duggar, Jill Duggar and more all shared their prayers in the comments section. (Amy’s mother, Deanna Duggar, is the sister of 19 Kids and Counting patriarch Jim Bob Duggar.)
“Thank you for all prayers, they mean so much to our little family,” Amy added on April 3.

Amy and Dillon have been married since 2015, later welcoming son Dax in 2019.
“It’s not just the smiles on our faces that matter, but the stories behind those smiles,” Dillon gushed of their marriage in a July 2023 Instagram post. “Each one holds a chapter of our journey— the laughter, the tears, the highs, and the lows — all woven together with empathy and love. Together, we’ve navigated the challenges that life threw at us, and it’s made our bond even stronger. Love you.”
“Maren, have you ever performed with or seen Morgan Wade perform?” Andy Cohen asked Morris, 34, during her Watch What Happens Live appearance on Tuesday, April 8.
“She actually, randomly enough, opened for my ex-husband on his tour a few years ago,” Morris said. “We have a ton of mutual friends. She’s so sweet, very talented.”
Morris noted that she was “very shocked” to see Wade, 30, on RHOBH last season. (Wade filmed with Kyle Richardsfor a season 13 episode, which aired in November 2023.)

“I’m such a Beverly Hills fan and had met Kyle and Mauricio [Umansky] years prior,” Morris continued. “All of a sudden, Morgan’s on TV and I was like, ‘Holy s***, it’s Nashville on Beverly Hills.’ She’s lovely.”
“As I pointed out tonight, she’s also a performer,” he added. “[We’re] talking about her music.”
Morris and Cohen were referring to the first 10 minutes of Tuesday’s RHOBHseason 14 reunion, which were spent discussing Richards and Wade. (Questions about Richards’ relationship with Wade have been raised following the RHOBH star’s July 2023 separation from Umansky, 54.)
Richards previously told her RHOBH costars that Wade’s name was off limits during this season of the show — which confused some of her fellow Housewives as well as Cohen.
“For people at home who are saying, ‘Wait, you’re on a reality show. You’re supposed to tell us everything.’ You would say what to them?” Cohen asked at one point. Richards said that if speaking about someone she loves was going to cause harm, the backlash wouldn’t matter.
Later on in the episode, Cohen continued to express his confusion about keeping Wade’s name off the show.
“With singing and performing comes speculation about your life,” he said. “You put music videos out there. … Well, she also experienced greater publicity [from RHOBH] and greater attraction and interest as a result of this.”
Cohen noted that Wade was featured in The New York Times in August 2023, and he even brought up Richards’ cameo in her “Fall in Love” music video which was released that same month.
“I do just want to point out, putting out a music video that is the two of you as lovers, it contributed so [much] to a conversation that was already a runaway train,” Cohen noted. “That was totally in her hands, I have to say. At some point you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
During the three-part premiere on Tuesday, April 8, June (Elisabeth Moss) had her highly-anticipated reunion with Nick (Max Minghella), but many viewers took that as a sign that the fictional couple were “doomed” ahead of the series finale.
“But this isn’t a love story so I’m scared Nick isn’t making it out of this season alive,” wrote a fan via X while another added, “I feel this is the last time they will see each other.”
There were multiple people who pointed out how the show appeared to be hinting that Nick “isn’t going to survive” season 6.
“The last scene between Nick and June had me crying,” read another social media response. “It really feels like one of them will die by the end of the season and I have a feeling it won’t be the one everyone expects.”

Elsewhere on the internet, audience members questioned why Nick remained in Gilead despite helping June’s husband, Luke (O-T Fagbenle), and friend Moira (Samira Wiley) escape No Man’s Land as he continues to secretly help Mark (Sam Jaeger).
“Why would Nick NOT defect with June, Moira, and Luke at this point,” read a Reddit post. “I get that he has a family and he feels a duty to them but he’s been separated from his daughter and the woman he loves for over a year at least and he’s got to realize he’s no use to anyone including his unborn son if he’s dead.”
A response from another viewer argued that Nick didn’t want to leave Gilead because “he has no real shot to be” with June.
“I agree. I don’t know why people are always asking why he doesn’t leave,” a social media commentator noted. “I thought Mark made it fairly clear that wasn’t an immediate option anymore Plus they need some OG characters back in Gilead .”

Based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, The Handmaid’s Tale takes place in a dystopian future where the U.S. government was overthrown. The new regime gives men all the power and forces women into subservience. Women are even forcefully assigned to men for the sole purpose of bearing children. The first season took inspiration from Atwood’s book but has since explored its own storytelling. (It is important to note that Nick didn’t die in Atwood’s version of the story.)
While The Handmaid’s Tale is wrapping up, the story is far from over. Atwood’s 2019 novel The Testaments received an official series order from Hulu. Creator Bruce Miller recently hinted that viewers should expect some surprises.
“I hope [the audience has] questions when the show ends. I think this book is way too complicated to tie up neatly, and when I read the book I had a million questions at the end,” he exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “So I hope if we’re doing justice to the story we told in the book, certainly you’ll have questions at the end.”
Executive producer Warren Littlefield, meanwhile, called the show’s finale “really satisfying,” sharing, “Living in the world of Gilead for our audience is sometimes a tough journey. But I think their patience will be rewarded because this final year is ordinary women doing extraordinary things. The revolution is here and they’re highly effective. There’s joy. Is there still a Gilead? Yeah. But we celebrate what they accomplish, and I think it’ll be very satisfying for the audience.”
New episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale are released Tuesdays on Hulu.
Don’t mess with Roseanne Barr’s simple and fulfilling life in Texas.
Nearly seven years after The Conners killed off the actress’ eponymous character in 2018, Us Weekly is getting an exclusive look into her private life in the Lone Star state.
“She has been doing a weekly podcast with me that brings us a lot of joy,” Barr’s son Jake Pentland exclusively shared with Us on Wednesday, April 9. “My mom lives with me, my wife and my two daughters. She’s the best grandma.”
Whether she’s doing her grandchildren’s hair and makeup every morning or purchasing a pink closet for their dresses, Barr, 72, loves spending quality time with her youngest family members.
And yes, she doesn’t hesitate to enjoy the great outdoors with them, too.
“We have 30 acres and live up in what they call ‘Hill Country,’” Pentland shared. “Roseanne also drives the tractor often, which allows her to mow the lawn. She drives around. She occasionally runs into trees, but just keeps the yard up.”

According to Pentland, his mom likes to use a chainsaw to trim the tree branches “so they don’t hit the kids.”
She’s also started to flex her green thumb in the garden, growing peppers when she’s not caring for her grandchildren.
“The property is very lush,” Pentland explained, “and has purple and yellow wildflowers growing all around.”
Life in Texas, however, isn’t all play and no work. In addition to working on “The Roseanne Barr” podcast, the actress was recently in the crowd for a Netflix project called Kill Tony in Austin, Texas. Pentland also revealed that his mom has been busy writing scripts, adding that she loves being creative.
“You might just see her on TV again soon,” he teased. “You never know.”

When she’s not in Texas, Barr also tries her best to visit Palm Beach, Florida. While she is “considering a move” to the town, her son said a permanent relocation likely won’t happen until late fall or even a year from now.
“She stays there with friends often,” he said. “She loves Palm Beach. When she stays with her friends there, she’s right in the heart of the city. She’s walking a lot, slowing down a little, but not too much.”
A Palm Beach insider also exclusively told Us that Barr enjoys the sunny weather and laid back island vibe of Palm Beach.
“She has a lot of close friends who live in Palm Beach as well and they’re always hanging out, shopping and going to dinners,” the source said. “She is very low-key in Palm Beach and likes to be out on a boat with friends or at the beach.”
Ultimately, Pentland isn’t ready for his mom to find a new home. As he explained, “We have some upcoming projects before she goes just yet.”
“I mean, just feeling them inside you is so amazing,” Cartwright exclusively told Us Weeklyabout pregnancy in June 2023. “It’s the most incredible feeling in the world. Like, you’re growing a human being. … I can’t even explain just how amazing that feeling is.”
Cartwright has also seen how fatherhood transformed Taylor.
“He absolutely loves Cruz. … He’s just an amazing dad and he just tries so hard and does everything,” she told Us. “I feel like everybody thought he was just this bad boy and, you know, he had this villain image for the longest time, but seeing him with his little 2-year-old son is just a completely different side [of him] and it’s amazing.”
Cartwright and Taylor, who left Vanderpump Rules in 2020 during her pregnancy, returned to reality TV in March 2024 on The Valley, whichhighlights their suburban life with Cruz. Weeks before the Bravo spinoff’s premiere, Cartwright confirmed that she and Taylor were “taking time apart.”
"I can’t believe a week ago today you came into our lives and have changed us forever," Taylor captioned a photo of Cruz in his DockATot Deluxe+. "Fatherhood is the greatest thing to ever happen to me."
“You guys knew I would be this mom,” Cartwright captioned a May 2021 Instagram photo from Cruz’s 1-month photo shoot. "Time is flying and it has been the best moments of my life. I love this little boy more than words can express. I am one proud Momma."
Cartwright told her Instagram followers in July 2021 that her son’s hair was “turning blond,” adding, “He has dark ends, and it looks like a little feather sticking out."
"He is growing like a little weed, his hair and eyes continue to lighten up, he found his hands so everything goes straight to his mouth, he is so strong holding his head up on his own and WE HAVE A ROLLER,” the couple gushed in a July 2021 Instagram post while celebrating Cruz’s third month.
"Cruz is 4 months old today!” Cartwright captioned an August 2021 Instagram slideshow. "He loves to play, he’s rolling everywhere, laughing, ‘talking,' reaching for things and starting to army crawl. I could go on and on because he just amazes me every day. Life is so much sweeter with this little big boy."
"These past six months have flown by just like everyone told us they would, but they have been the best six months of our lives,” Cartwright gushed via Instagram in October 2021. "He is so handsome, so strong, so smart and there is nothing I enjoy more than seeing this big new world through his eyes."
The reality TV alums celebrated their first Thanksgiving as a family of three, giving their infant a cake that read "Cruz's first Thanksgiving."
“Happy Father’s Day @mrjaxtaylor. We love you,” Cartwright captioned a series of photos in June 2022 while toasting her husband. The couple hosted a pool party with their son to celebrate the holiday.
While the premise of the long-running ABC franchise is to find love, the contestants often end up involved in drama. Katie Thurston, who served as the Bachelorette during season 17, ignited her own Bachelor Nation feud in July 2022 after confirming that she blocked Nick Viall’s phone number following some “odd” comments he made about her.
“I get DMs sometimes that are like, ‘Oh, my God, Nick won’t stop talking s*** about you,’” the Washington native alleged during a TikTok Live session. “I messaged him one time, and I was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, people are finding the things you’re saying [about me] kind of odd.’ And in short, he basically [turned it around on me]. He was like, ‘How great that you have fans that care about you! Don’t take it personally!’”
“The whole conversation started because I tweeted something about an upcoming episode of hers, and she texted me, ‘Best TV? Boo.’ Then I gave my quick thoughts on the episode,” he said at the time.
Years after dating on season 26, the pair sparked a feud that began when Gabby poked fun at Clayton’s dance moves online. After Gabby’s remarks went viral, Clayton accused her of “bullying.”
“You’re attacking me for my physical appearance, you’re attacking me for a passion that I love that’s changed my life. It’s unnecessary and it’s not funny,” Clayton claimed via Instagram in April 2025. “You have such a large platform and you’re setting a really bad example, which is just disheartening. I don’t want people to be scared to try something new because [of] bullying online, like what you’re doing. Do better, Gabby.”
Gabby subsequently fired back at Clayton bringing up drama from their season of The Bachelor. During the show, Clayton shared details about the moments he had with her and Rachel Recchia during their respective Fantasy Suites.
“You were intimate with ‘the both of us’ you said on national TV in front of millions without having a conversation with me or any other woman first,” Gabby claimed. “So, you humiliated us in front of each other and in front of everybody watching the TV show.”
The Bachelorette season 17 lead revealed in July 2022 that she had blocked Viall’s number after he made some “odd” comments about her on his “Viall Files” podcast.
“Nick is just — I don’t know what to say about him, to be honest,” Katie said during a TikTok Live at the time, joking that she “forget[s] he exists” occasionally.
The Wisconsin native, for his part, later questioned Thurston’s intentions for revealing their supposed bad blood.
“I hear so much [while hosting ‘The Viall Files’] about everyone. There is so much that I know, which is part of why I have this rule. If people want to put stuff out there for us to respond to [then] fine. But I don’t want to be airing people’s laundry that I hear or how they treated other people,” Nick told girlfriend Natalie Joy during an episode of his podcast later that month. “I have heard some horror stories about my peers, but I don’t want to put it all out there. It is almost as if [Katie] feels like she has this ownership over these guys from her season.”
The season 21 Bachelor alum slammed Arie for sharing Instagram polls about the 2020 presidential election that November. As a result, the season 22 Bachelor criticized the sex therapist’s Instagram ad “for a pleasure sleeve for penises.”
Arie commented on Taylor’s paid post, “Love how you came after me for posting an election poll but you’re advertising masturbation pads or whatever he [SIC] hell this is … classy.”
The former Bachelor in Paradise season 5 star subsequently accused Arie of bullying, sex-shaming and belittling her.
“This is part of what I do for my job, I do partnerships on Instagram. I also work as a sex therapist. I’m a licensed psychotherapist and I’m in school getting my PhD in clinical sexology. So, this is the post that he feels is something that he can put me down with. That it’s laughable. … [It’s] sex-shaming and sex negativity, which this is not a space for. Y’all know that I don’t play with that s—t. My whole passion and job, literally that I’ve chosen, is to fight against that,” she said in a 12-minute video via Instagram. “This isn’t just a regular post of me talking about sex toys or sex in general. [This] is a partnership post, that could hit me in my income, that could hit me in my ability to do partnerships, that there’s specific shaming in how I’m making my money, which mind you is really no different than how he’s making his money. Mine just maybe has a little more impact for people than his does.”
Andi famously walked away from Juan Pablo after their fantasy suite date during season 18 of The Bachelor because she felt like he wasn’t trying to get to know her. After he repeatedly told her “It’s OK,” she declared, “I want to die if I have to hear ‘It’s OK’ again.”
Andi, who went on to star as The Bachelorette in season 10, detailed her time on the reality series in her first book, appropriately titled, It’s Not Okay. In the tell-all, Andi threw shade at Juan. “He blasted Ray J and R. Kelly all night long and showed me dozens of videos of his old soccer highlights on YouTube," she wrote. “All there was was the realization that I was nothing more than a pretty object he had no intentions of liking, let alone loving, and thus no amount of free travel was enticing enough to stay any longer.”
During a January 2018 interview with Us, Andi summed up her time on the show: “We had more fun with each other than we did with the Bachelor, my season.”
Chris Soules’ season featured one of the most dramatic two-on-one dates in history. After arguing during the season, Ashley and Kelsey faced off in the Badlands.
“I just got thrown under the bus. This is a game to her. She’s a Kardashian who didn’t get to go on a princess date, who has way too much makeup on be genuine,” Kelsey declared before Chris dumped both of them on the date. “She’s desperate. … I am a woman and I am going to remember that she thinks she’s playing a game, but I’m not.”
Chad and Evan argued on JoJo Fletcher's season. Their feud took a dark turn when Evan joked that Chad of does steroids. "You're going to f—king die dude, if you don't chill out,” Chat told Evan as he ripped his shirt.
Chad threatened violence again on Bachelor in Paradise season 3: “As far as Evan goes, I didn’t murder him, so that’s good. I didn’t rip his d–k off and shove it down his own mouth. But yeah, I still kind of want to cut his head off and throw it in the water.”
Corinne didn’t take it well when Taylor told her she lacked “emotional intelligence” on Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor. As a result, Corinne questioned Taylor’s abilities as a mental health counselor. During their two-on-one date, Nick kept Corinne over Taylor.
Pageant drama alert! Hannah and Caelynn knew each other from the pageant world before they both competed for Colton Underwood’s heart on The Bachelor. During season 23, there was tension between the women.
“We’re not necessarily the best of friends. We were roommates at Miss USA. We were super close, and then she wasn’t happy that I was first runner-up. She was mad that she didn’t place, for sure,” Caelynn said. “There were a lot of hurt feelings. With Hannah, there’s a façade and then it starts to crumble. Hannah kind of snapped; she flipped a switch. I was like, 'Wow, this is a whole new Hannah.' Being in this environment, it’s pretty similar. I have no doubt that switch will be flipped soon. It happened pretty quickly.”
While they both questioned each other’s character while chatting with Colton, they ultimately called a truce.
Luke quickly went from frontrunner to villain after he slut-shamed Hannah for sleeping with another contestant during season 15 of The Bachelorette. “I have had sex. And honestly, Jesus still loves me. From obviously how you feel, me f–king in a windmill, you probably wanna leave,” she declared. “I f–ked in a windmill. And guess what? We did it a second time!”
Hannah was forced to kick Luke out when he returned for the final three rose ceremony.
JPJ accused Derek of taking advantage of women during season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise after they were both interested in Tayshia Adams. “[Derek] has expressed to me, multiple times, his reaching out to his fans, taking advantage of them sexually, as a result of acquiring fame through this process,” JPJ claimed. “He’s mentioned multiple times that you can f—k some of the women that follow you [on social media].”
Derek denied JPJ’s remarks and the two women nearly got physical.
While the ladies became fast friends on Nick’s season of The Bachelor, their friendship ended after the season aired. Rachel and Raven, however, have both refused to publicly reveal what went wrong.
“I can’t say. I promised I wouldn’t say. But it was enough for me to not want to be friends with her anymore,” Rachel, who didn’t invite Raven to her wedding, said Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in October 2019.
A month later, Raven, replied on the “Off the Vine” podcast: “I wish I had answers, but I don’t and I don’t know if I ever will. I have been really saddened by the whole thing just because I really loved her. I guess I just have to put it to rest and it is what it is.”
Colton inserted himself into Rachel’s feud with Raven in 2019. “Shocker. Rachel mad at another person… does she like anyone?” the former football player commented on Us Weekly’s Instagram about Rachel and Raven’s beef. “I’m not weighing in on the Rachel/Raven drama. I could care less about that, not my business. What is my business is the countless number of times she’s spoke poorly of me… including that time she ran her mouth about me to Cassie … Funny thing is I have never met her.”
After Rachel replied by inviting Colton on her podcast to hash things out, he replied, “I’ll come on your podcast Rachel. One condition: ask your producer to leave it raw, unedited and untouched. Looking forward to meeting you & pointing out your hypocrisy over the last year.”
Lee was accused of being racist when he called Kenny “aggressive” during Rachel’s season of The Bachelorette. "When you call him 'aggressive' there is a long-standing history in this country of regarding black men in America as aggressive to justify a lot of other things," fellow contestant Will Gaskins explained.
Lee, as a result, accused Kenny of "playing the race card.”
While Rachel ultimately sent Lee home on the two-on-one date, the two men fought again when Lee’s racially insensitive tweets were read on the Men Tell All. While he apologized, Kenny quipped, “Everybody's sorry when they get caught.”
It’s safe to say Michelle didn’t get along with the majority of the women in the house also competing for Brad Womack’s heart on season 11 of The Bachelor. While the women thought Michelle was too aggressive and snarky, Michelle thought she was confident and sarcastic. During the Women Tell All, Michelle broke down in tears as the women confronted her.
“I’m equating you to a spider. You're like creepy and everybody's afraid of you,” Jackie Gordon declared.
Stacey Queripel attacked Michelle’s parenting: ”In my family, you put your child first … I felt like you put you first.”
After Emily told Ben Flajnik that Courtney is “different” around him than she is with the other girls, Courtney wasn’t happy.
"I want to rip her head off and verbally assault her, or shave her eyebrows off in the middle of the night," Courtney said to the camera. "She should watch herself. I'm done being nice to that girl."
Emily defended herself to the other women: ”I hate that I jeopardized my time to talk about someone else, but I just hate [to think] that he'd end up with someone who's been dishonest with him."
Arie and Jef were friends while filming Emily Maynard‘s season of The Bachelorette, but had a falling out after Sean Lowe’s 2014 wedding.
"Jef and I haven't spoken since Sean's wedding, which was four or five years ago now, and obviously a lot has happened in that amount of time,” Arie said on a podcast in January 2019. “He brought a date. I felt like he handled the situation badly with his date and he didn’t treat that person right,” he said. “I spoke out, and then he got into a fight with myself and a few of the producers, and that was the last time we talked. I just felt like, in the moment, I had to stick up for that person that he brought instead of him and I felt like he thought that I chose the wrong side, but in actuality I felt like he was treating that person in a negative way… I think maybe there's a little bit of jealousy.”
A year earlier, Jef threw shade at Arie when he was named the Bachelor. “Doesn't matter who gets out of the limo...I'll give 5k to he charity of @chrisbharrison's choice if @ariejr lasts 1 year with anyone,” he tweeted.
Arie, who married winner Lauren Burnham in January 2019, fired back after the nuptials: “Pay up @jefholm... Put that trust fund money into something positive instead of bottle service. Asshole.”
“Why are the Buffalo Bills gonna win the Super Bowl?” an Associated Press reporter asked the actress, 28, at the New York City premiere of her new movie Sinners on Thursday, April 3. Steinfeld praised her quarterback partner’s abilities in her response, telling the outlet, “Why do you think? Look who’s at the helm.”
Allen, 28, had a successful 2024-2025 football season, surpassing Russell Wilson to become the quarterback with the most regular season wins in their first seven NFL seasons. Allen and the Bills nearly missed their chance to play at Super Bowl LIX, as they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs during the AFC Championship game in January. (The Chiefs went on to lose to the Philadelphia Eagles at this year’s Super Bowl one month later.)
“To say the least, I am so proud of that man and everything he’s done and everything that team has done together,” Steinfeld told E! News in January after Allen’s NFL season came to an end. “He is the hardest working person I know.”
Last month, Allen signed a record-breaking deal with the Bills worth $330 million, making him one of the highest-paid players in the league alongside fellow quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott and DeShaun Watson.
Allen is also the current titleholder of the NFL’s MVP. He took home the award at the 2025 NFL Honors, at which he made his red carpet debut with Steinfeld. “And last but not least, my fiancée, Hailee,” he said during his acceptance speech. “You’ve been my rock. You are my best friend [and] I would not be standing on this stage if it weren’t for you. So, with that being said, be good, do good, God bless and Go Bills.”

Steinfeld and Allen began dating in 2023 after the athlete called it quits with his ex-girlfriend Brittany Williams. Allen popped the question after over a year of dating in November 2024. The couple shared their engagement news in a joint Instagram post, which featured a snap from their picturesque proposal.
“I said, ‘I couldn’t wait any longer.’ I said, ‘I can’t wait to start a family with you,’” Allen recalled of what he said when he got down on one knee in a December 2024 edition of Steinfeld’s “Beau Society” newsletter. “I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said please.”
He went on to gush, “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.”
Steinfeld, for her part, called their engagement “the most magical day of [her] life” in the newsletter.
During a Thursday appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Steinfeld said she’s “been given a very warm welcome” by the people of Buffalo since her engagement to Allen. “It’s such a wonderful, wonderful place. I love it so much.”
