As bothersome as it may be, bloating after a meal out, too much ice cream, a late-night movie marathon, or a stressful day at work is actually pretty common. But, as fashionistas, we’re tired of letting digestive issues dictate how we dress. Sure, it’s a struggle finding something that won’t highlight a (sometimes painful) protruding belly, but we do know one thing: Tight clothes are off the table. Instead of trying to squeeze into a form-fitting minidress, wearing loose outfits that won’t highlight the problem is key — and no, that doesn’t mean you have to rock a sweatsuit.

Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are pure magic in a show that has so many jokes per minute it’s almost impossible to catch them all. Inspired by Fey’s time as a writer on Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock follows Liz Lemon (Fey), the harried head writer of a comedy variety show called TGS, and her business-obsessed boss and mentor, Jack Donaghy (Baldwin). The show brilliantly satirizes corporate culture, the entertainment industry, and where the two intersect. (Jack’s job title in the pilot episode is “Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming,” for example.)
Liz attempts to balance her career and her love life, as well as the completely absurd antics of the stars of TGS. Narcissistic and clueless Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) and unstable man-child Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) constantly make Liz’s life difficult, but with help from Jack and ebullient NBC page Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer), Liz manages to keep the show running.
This comedy murder mystery series follows the Columbo format of “inverted” murder mysteries. Each episode begins with a murder, and the audience gets to follow along as tough-talking protagonist Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne) attempts to put the clues together. Charlie doesn’t particularly want to be a detective — in fact, she’s on the run from the mob enforcer (Benjamin Bratt) who’s trying to kill her because she witnessed a crime — but it’s hard to avoid unraveling mysteries when you’re a human lie detector.
Charlie has an uncanny and foolproof ability to sense when someone is lying, as well as a strong sense of morality. As she drives across the country, it seems she always manages to find a body, as well as a series of lies about how it got there. Rian Johnson, creator of Knives Out, created this “whodunnit” series, which is returning for a second season in May 2025.
Joel McHale stars as Jeff Winger, a slick and narcissistic lawyer who lied about finishing his bachelor’s degree. When Jeff’s law firm finds out about his deception, he is disbarred and forced to finish undergrad at Greendale Community College. Community starts out as a fairly simple story of a group of strangers who form a study group at Greendale, but it quickly became known for the way it parodies other television and film genres. For example, “Contemporary American Poultry” is a Goodfellas-style episode about chicken fingers, while “Pillows and Blankets” is a documentary about a pillow fort war between best friends Abed (Danny Pudi) and Troy (Donald Glover).
The other (equally hilarious) members of the study group are the naïve overachiever Annie (Alison Brie), self-righteous activist Britta (Gillian Jacobs), clueless businessman Pierce (Chevy Chase) and religious mom Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown). Ken Jeong plays the group’s deranged Spanish teacher, and Jim Rash is the eccentric Dean of the college. Once you watch this show, you’ll be “streets ahead.”
Few shows have had as much impact on American pop culture as Saturday Night Live. While all 50 seasons of SNL are available to watch on Peacock, we recommend you check out this four-part docuseries about the history of the groundbreaking variety show.
Featuring stars like Amy Poehler, Will Ferrell, and Kenan Thompson, it breaks down the audition process, the writer’s room, and the infamous “weird year” when Lorne Michaels left the show. (Spoiler alert: it did not go well without him.)
Do you ever feel like AI is everywhere? In Mrs. Davis, an incredibly powerful artificial intelligence has not so much taken over the world as saved it. Mrs. Davis, as Americans call the AI, has ended war, famine, and most diseases. But Sister Simone (Betty Gilpin), a young nun with a complicated past, is determined to destroy the program. When her ex-lover Wiley (Jake McDorman) appears and tells her he is part of a resistance fighting Mrs. Davis, she is drawn into a web of ancient conspiracies and mysteries.
Written by Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers), Mrs. Davis somehow toes the line between wacky and profound. It’s a show about the complicated relationship between technology and religion. There are also whales, magicians and rodeos, so expect the unexpected.
If you’re missing the mysteries and exotic locations of The White Lotus, The Resort might be a good substitute. The limited series takes place at a hotel in the Riviera Maya, where married couple Emma (Cristin Milioti, How I Met Your Mother) and Noah (William Jackson Harper, The Good Place) are on a vacation to try to bring the spark back to their floundering relationship. Once at the resort, they get drawn into an unsolved mystery — it turns out that a different couple (Skyler Gisondo and Nina Bloomgarden) disappeared at the resort 15 years before their visit.
As flashbacks reveal the story of the missing couple, Emma and Noah grow closer by working together to solve the mystery. Fans praise the performances, the unexpected twists, and the chemistry of the cast.
If medical mysteries are your jam, House is the show for you. Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is a curmudgeonly doctor with a brilliant ability to diagnose patients with his powers of observation. Inspired by Sherlock Holmes, Dr. House is a fascinating character, and every episode of the medical procedural involves him diagnosing a bizarre ailment. At the same time, he struggles to manage chronic pain from his injured leg. Alongside his only friend, Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), House saves lives in his abrasive and brash manner.
House fans love the show for its humor, its Holmesian mysteries and Laurie’s performance. Dr. House lives by the philosophy that “everybody lies,” and his cynicism challenges viewers to look at the world in a new way while raising interesting questions about medical ethics.
This 8-season drama follows the three Halliwell sisters, Prue (Shannen Doherty), Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) and Piper (Holly Marie Combs), who discover that they are the most powerful witches in the world. Their connection, called “The Power of Three” in the show, allows them to use magic to fight the forces of evil and protect the innocent.
Exploring the nature of good and evil and the bonds of sisterhood, Charmed is a fun and melodramatic fantasy series that fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer will adore, though the sisters face the trials of young adulthood instead of being teenagers. There’s romance, action and of course, plenty of magic in this cult classic show.
Did you ever play “Mafia” or “Murder” as a kid? The Traitors takes the premise of those games and pumps up the stakes. While no one actually dies, host Alan Cumming leads a group of contestants — many of whom are famous from other reality TV shows — through challenges in a mysterious castle. A few members of the group are “Traitors,” tasked with killing off the competition in order to win a cash prize. If the “Faithfuls” correctly identify all the traitors, they win the pot instead. There’s backstabbing, trash-talking and colorful personalities that clash as everyone tries to prove their status as a faithful.
Past contestants have included Survivor’s “Boston Rob,” Real Housewives personality Brandi Glanville and BacheloretteGabby Windey. Watching personalities from different franchises interact is a blast, and watching people you can’t stand get eliminated is even better.
It’s more than just models with briefcases. In this adventurous, tropical spin on the 2005 game show Deal or No Deal, contestants don’t just choose a case full of money — they have to fight for it.
Hunky host Joe Manganiello (True Blood) leads the competitors through physical challenges, scavenger hunts and strategic games as they try to earn their chance to face the banker and walk away with the cash. Fans love DONDI because it’s a game show, house reality show, survival show and competition show all in one, plus the fact that taking risks with your strategies can lead to huge rewards. But of course, huge losses are always possible too — prizes have ranged from the millions to the single digits. Anything can happen on the mysterious “Banker’s Island.”
Justin Bieber was involved in a tense exchange with the paparazzi in Palm Springs, California, on Wednesday, April 9.
In a video obtained by TMZ, Justin, 31, can be seen confronting a group of photographers trying to catch a glimpse of him outside a coffee shop. The star appeared to be visiting the café with friends when he spotted the paps.
One of the photographers said, “Good morning,” which prompted the “Baby” singer to respond, “No, not good morning.”
“[You] want money, money, money, money … get out of here,” the star added as he walked toward the group of photographers.
“All you want is money. Go. Get out of here. All you guys want is money,” he repeated. “You don’t care about people. Only money. No people. You don’t care about human beings.”
Later Wednesday, Justin and wife Hailey, 28, were spotted arriving at the site of this weekend’s Coachella festival in Indio, California. In pictures obtained by People, Hailey, sporting a striped green and white dress, is seen driving a CRU electric vehicle while Justin can be seen in the back.
In January, Justin sparked concern when he stopped following Hailey on Instagram. Hours later, Justin set the record straight, clarifying that he wasn’t the one to stop keeping up with his wife. “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” he wrote via his Instagram Story at the time. “S*** is getting suss out here.”
Later, in March, Justin opened up about his “anger issues” in a social media post. “I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh ,” Justin captioned a series of photos shared via Instagram. The photos shared included a close-up, hooded selfie of the “Peaches” singer and a snap of Bieber as a child.
In a subsequent post, Justin shared a video of a jam session in his home via Instagram. “I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic,” he wrote in the caption. “Then I remember we’re all being made to think we’re not enough but I still hate when I change myself to please people.”
Are you craving a good crime show to watch? Do tales of mischief and murder make your heart beat just a little bit faster? If the answer is “yes” to both questions, keep reading.
England has always been a great exporter of crime stories, and the following list is sure to provide many hours of fun for all those Anglophiles who crave a good mystery or two. From the tragic real-life story of Ruth Etting to a new show that should make fans of Broadchurch happy, these 10 shows are a great way to pass the time and keep the mind guessing.
A fire at a swanky vacation houseboat, a love triangle involving an older man and two teenage girls and a podcaster investigating a person who has been missing for years — none of these things seem related to one another. Yet, by the time The Jetty concludes its superb four-episode first season, Detective Ember Manning (Jenna Coleman) will somehow tie all of them together in a tricky mystery that’s one of British TV’s best of 2024.
Coleman stars as Manning, who must deal with her own personal issues — she’s a widow, and her pre-teen daughter is starting to smoke — while also trying to solve several mysteries simultaneously. Similar to Happy Valley, The Jetty examines violence occurring in a bucolic setting and features a dynamite lead female performance from Coleman.
It’s no spoiler to reveal that Ruth Ellis (Lucy Boynton), the lead character in the new four-episode crime show A Cruel Love, died by hanging on July 13, 1955. Ruth was a real woman who committed a very real crime: She shot her lover, David Blakely (Laurie Davidson), on Easter the year of her death. But what led the nightclub hostess to carry out such a horrible act?
That’s the question behind A Cruel Love, BritBox’s excellent true-crime drama that explores Ruth’s motivations behind David’s murder, the subsequent trial that dominated the tabloid press and her death by execution, which is still the last time a woman was put to death for her crimes in the United Kingdom.
This story has been told before, most notably in the 1985 film Dance with a Stranger, but never as absorbing and detailed as it is here. As Ellis, Boynton is never better playing a woman left with few options in life. The show convincingly evokes a period when scandal could ruin reputations and a crime of passion could captivate a still-innocent public.
Dating apps are the worst, but for Detective Inspector Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar), they could be deadly. When she finds a former boyfriend — who she thought had died over a decade ago — alive, well and looking for love on one of these apps, it sends her down a path that will force her to confront some dark secrets in her past.
Missing You is adapted from the novel by Harlan Coben, an American crime novelist behind several hit Netflix mysteries like Fool Me Once and Stay Close. Missing You offers similar pleasures: a protagonist traumatized by her past, a mystery with several twists and turns and several talented British actors who are largely unknown to Americans. With only five episodes, the series doesn’t overstay its welcome, and the ending is satisfying enough to make you look forward to the next Coben adaptation.
After his wife and daughter die tragically in a fire, Detective John Ridley (Adrian Dunbar) is forced into early retirement following a nervous breakdown. Eighteen months later, he’s back to help his former co-workers, but does he still have what it takes to solve mysteries? And, specifically, the curious cases of a murdered sheep farmer, a dead body that’s found on the moors and a cold case involving the disappearance of a young man 40 years ago?
Ridley is a run-of-the-mill British crime show that’s executed exceptionally well. The show spotlights the pastoral beauty of the English countryside and is just the right amount of moody to be cozy without becoming menacing. Dunbar is excellent as the haunted detective, and his frequent trips to the local jazz club to belt out a tune or two are a welcome wrinkle in an otherwise straightforward procedural.
You don’t become the so-called “Godmother” of the British criminal underground by being nice. Joan Hannington (Sophie Turner) is a single mother with too many responsibilities and not enough money to handle them all. In desperation, she turns to a life of crime in order to take care of her daughter and her debts. It’s easy for her, since she has a photographic memory and a talent for mimicry. But will Joan’s newfound taste for luxury, furs and jewels be her downfall?
As Joan, Turner gets to flex all her dramatic muscles without the aid of a dragon or a CGI phoenix. Armed with '80s-era bangs and giant shoulder pads, her Joan is a warrior marching on a different kind of battlefield — one filled with lowlifes whom she can’t really trust. Maybe it’s not that different from her time on Game of Thrones after all.
Murder shows with priests are more common than you think, and they don’t get much better than Grantchester. The long-running series, which began in 2014 and is currently on its ninth season, focuses on the unlikely crime-solving duo of Detective Geordie Keating (Robson Green) and the vicar of Grantchester. Sidney Chambers (James Norton) was the first and best priest/sleuth, but his successors, Will Davenport (Tom Brittney) and Alphy Kotterman (Rishi Nair), are just as likable and dashing.
The show follows a standard formula — someone finds a dead body in or around Grantchester and Geordie and Sidney/Will/Alphy catch the culprit. The crimes are pretty routine and the mysteries aren’t all that complex, but the show’s 1950s-to-1960s period setting is evocative, and the cast is uniformly excellent. You may question the unusually high body count of a sleepy English village, but you won’t regret bingeing a season or two in one sitting. It’s that charming.
No one writes a better crime novel than Alan Conway (Conleth Hill). He knows that, which makes him insufferable. His editor, Susan Reyland (Lesley Manville), puts up with him because he sells a lot of books. But when Alan is found dead and the police deem it a suicide, she becomes suspicious. Alan would never do that — he loved himself too much. But who would end his life? And why?
Magpie Murders has a central mystery that is genuinely intriguing and a cast of appropriately shady suspects. But it’s Manville who is the chief reason to watch the show. She’s one of Britain’s best actors working today, and she’s funny and clever as the nonplussed Susan. A sequel series, Moonflower Murders, was released in 2024, and it’s also worth a look.
Buckinghamshire is one of those quaint English villages where people go for rest, relaxation and maybe a cup of tea. But murder? That’s what retired archaeologist Judith (Samantha Bond), dog walker Suzie (Jo Martin) and vicar’s wife Becks (Cara Horgan) discover one sunny afternoon. But who left the dead body floating in the river? Before the trio can even answer, another corpse turns up. Is there a serial killer on the prowl?
The Marlow Murder Club won’t win any points for realism or originality, but this kind of show needs to be credible enough to be entertaining without anyone bothering to question its logic. It’s a stereotypically “cozy” British crime series in the best possible sense, and former James Bond star Bond gets a rare lead role to showcase her underappreciated talents.
Adam Dalgliesh ranks along with Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes as one of England’s most beloved detectives, yet he’s largely unknown in America. That will hopefully change with Dalgliesh, a new crime series on Acorn TV. Stage actor Bertie Carvel embodies P.D. James’ brainy sleuth this time around, and he has his hands full in a series of mysteries set in the 1970s.
A brutal murder at a seminary, a politically-motivated crime among an upper-class family and a mystery involving an unusual hospital are just some of the cases Dalgliesh has to crack, and Carvel provides enough appeal to make you invested in the detective’s investigations. Like the novels it’s based on, Dalgliesh is more highbrow than your average crime show, but it provides the same thrills viewers expect from the genre. The show just aired its third season in 2024.
A pizza delivery man, Abdullah Asif (Sam Otto), is shot and killed in southwest London and almost no one seems to care. Detective Kip Glaspie (Carey Mulligan) is the exception, and thinks Abdullah’s death is more than just a random act of violence. Her assumption proves to be correct, as Kip’s investigation leads her to uncover a complex web that connects the police, politicians and human traffickers.
Collateral is shorter than your average crime series, but it packs a lot in its four episodes. In her pursuit to find Abdullah’s killer, Kip interrogates members of Parliament, a female vicar with something to hide and several MI5 agents to find out who killed him and why.
With an intelligent script by playwright David Hare and a bravura lead performance by Mulligan, Collateral is a rarity — a politically-minded crime drama that will leave you a bit unsettled after it’s over.
No matter how objectively ‘good’ your body may look, you may occasionally glance in the mirror and feel self-conscious about what you see. Although there is no one-size-fits-all approach to beauty, it’s understandable and natural to want to wear flattering clothes that address specific body concerns, such as larger arms or wider hips.
As someone who has long dealt with muscular, tree-trunk legs and a lengthy frame, I’m especially aware of which styles flatter and shape the body. So, I’ve rounded up 15 pieces ahead that address various body concerns, highlighting your assets rather than the areas you wish to hide.
15 Pieces of Clothing That Address Popular Body Concerns
1. Flowy and Flattering: A skort with flowy legs that doesn’t restrict or cut off circulation? I’m into it. This Boho Ruffle pick from Amazon flatters almost any figure and doesn’t draw emphasis to the upper thigh.
2. Wide Size Range: This Free Assembly Midi Shirtdress has a belted waist, which adds definition to the body and creates visual curves. If you often feel like you look boxy, this is the style to add to your rotation (and this particular pick is available up to size 4X).
3. Face-Framing V-Neck: V-neck shirts elongate the neck, which in turn makes the shoulders look less wide. Astr the Label’s V-Neck Sleeveless Boxy Top comes in three neutral colors and can be paired with everything from your favorite jeans to a formal skirt.
4. Adjustable and Comfortable: Wrap dresses are known as a flattering style for a reason! Not only do they define your waist, they’re easy to customize and work with your natural shape. I especially love this Amazon Cap Sleeve Wrap Dress because of the flattering ruching, size range (up to 6X!) and stretchy matte jersey material.
5. High-Waisted Dark Wash: Dark-wash jeans, like these Levi’s, are visually slimming and can be worn both day and night. I specifically like this pair because of the wider leg and ultra-high-rise design, which helps elongate the frame.
6. Snatching and Smoothing: Skims’ clothing and undergarments are known to snatch you in, and this Square-Neck Bodysuit is no exception. Wear it under clothes for a smoothing effect or on its own with a pair of jeans.
7. The Perfect Peplum: Oversized peplum-style shirts create a well-proportioned shape, and this inexpensive top from Amazon works with both shorts and jeans for spring. I give it bonus points for coming in four cute colors.
8. Tunic Top: If your hips and thighs are a concern, look for A-line tunics, like this option from Donna Karan. It’ll float over problem areas without looking frumpy or oversized.
9. Pull-On Pants: Figure-flattering and only $20? I’m buying these Scoop Ultimate ScubaKnit Seamed Pants in every color. The elastic waistband makes them easy to pull on, while the relaxed fit skims legs without encasing them.
10. Empire Waist: Searching for a mini dress for spring? Check out the Zelma Short Sleeve Babydoll Mini Dress, which features a flowy skirt and high waistline — details that are great for emphasizing the smallest part of you while deemphasizing lower-body concerns.
11. A+ A-Line: A-line skirts are a flattering choice regardless of your specific body concerns. This Scoop Volume Skirt is available in sizes up to 4X and the elastic waist means it’s easy to slip on and off.
12. Breezy and Lightweight: Linen is the ideal material for spring because it’s lightweight and doesn’t retain heat. These Caslon Tapered Linen Pants won’t cling to problem areas and create a streamlined appearance.
13. Smocked Bodice: Stretchy and cute? Yes, please! The OPT Square Neck Maxi Dress features a shirred A-line skirt and a defined yet comfortable waist. It’s a flattering spring staple you’ll reach for repeatedly.
14. Sleek and Shaping: Spanx is known for creating flattering shapewear (and clothing) that smooths lumps and bumps. I’m obsessed with this Ponte Tank Midi Dress, which is available in both straight and plus sizes (and three colors).
15. Layered Up: A long tailored jacket, like this one from The Drop, creates a long visual line that makes you appear slimmer and taller.
Bill Hader is remembering the unique reason he once got fired from a movie theater.
During an appearance on Netflix’s Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney on Wednesday, April 9, the comedian recalled how he spoiled the tragic ending of Titanic for a group of unruly guests.
“I got fired from a movie theater for ruining the end of Titanic,” he explained. “I was working in a movie theater, and Titanic hadn’t come out yet, and a sorority had bought out the movie theater.”
“And they were in the doorway and I was going, ‘Hey, guys. Can you guys move?’ They were making fun of me, they said I looked like Charles Manson. Which I kinda did,” Hader, 46, explained. “I had a little bowtie on and cummerbund, and I was like, ‘Hey guys, please move.’ And they were like, ‘No.’”
Hader found the perfect opportunity to get his own back.
“So when they went in, as I tore the tickets, I was like, ‘Enjoy the movie. The boat sinks at the end. Leo dies.’ And they were like, ‘No, he doesn’t.’ I go, ‘Yeah, you think he’s asleep. But he’s frozen.’ And that showed them,” Hader quipped.
Of course, there were consequences to Hader’s actions as the Barry star said he was fired on the spot.
Amazon Prime/Paramount
“The guy came down smiling, and he was like, ‘Hey, Bill. I have to fire you,’” Hader said. “He loved it. Couldn’t look me in the eye, though.”
Directed by James Cameron, Titanic hit theaters in December 1997 and made international stars of its lead actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. However, nearly three decades later, the movie’s final scenes remain polarizing.
DiCaprio’s character, Jack Dawson, dies after being submerged in the freezing cold waters for hours following the sinking of the Titanic. His hand ends up being frozen onto Winslet’s character, Rose DeWitt Bukater, as she safely floats on a door in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean before being spotted by a lifeboat.
Over the years, many have questioned whether Jack could have fit on the door alongside Rose, ultimately giving fans the happy ending they so craved.
During the press tour for Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood in 2019, DiCaprio stated “no comment” when asked for his thoughts. His costars Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie, however, believed Rose could’ve made some room.
“I don’t f****** know,” Winslet said when asked about her own take on the controversial scene in a 2022 interview with Josh Horowitz. “Look, all I can tell you is, I do have a decent understanding of water and how it behaves. If you put two adults on a stand-up paddleboard, it becomes immediately extremely unstable. That is for sure.”
Winslet added: “I have to be honest: I actually don’t believe that we would have survived if we had both gotten on that door. I think he would have fit, but it would have tipped and it would not have been a sustainable idea.”

Like father, like son! Prince William and Prince George are sharing their passion for soccer on a rare father-son outing.
The Prince of Wales, 42, and his eldest son, 11, were among spectators for the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg match between their beloved Aston Villa F.C. and Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, April 9.
The royals took in the game at Parc des Princes stadium and were photographed animatedly celebrating as Aston Villa scored their only goal. In one photo, William can be seen enthusiastically wrapping his arms around his son — sporting an Aston Villa scarf — as they celebrated midfielder Morgan Rogers’ goal.
Unfortunately for William and George, Aston Villa ultimately came up short against Paris Saint-Germain in a 3-1 loss at full-time. Nonetheless, father and son appeared to be having the time of their lives.
William has been a long-time supporter of Aston Villa and has passed down his love of the Birmingham-based soccer team to his three children with wife Princess Kate Middleton: George, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
“George loves his football. I’ve played numerous times in the garden with him,” Tindall, 46, told The Telegraph. “He’s passionate about Aston Villa, too. Wherever he is, he’ll sit down and watch that game.”
Tindall is married to Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara, making him an uncle to William and Kate’s three children.
“If I’m home alone with the children, I probably don’t have the pre-match pint, but I do have a bit of superstition about where I sit when I’m watching them,” William said in an interview with The Sun.
“If we’re not doing very well, I start moving ‘round the house quite quickly and I put the children in different positions hoping that’s going to change our luck,” he added.
The Prince of Wales told the outlet that while he has encouraged his kids to get involved with soccer, he doesn’t mind if they grow up supporting different teams.
“I’m kind of hoping they’ll all find their own teams in time,” William said.
“I’m trying not to be biased, but obviously they see how passionate I am about i,t and they watch the matches with me. I’m trying to spread the love a little bit,” he added.
While William and George were in Paris, William’s dad, King Charles III, and his wife, Queen Camilla, celebrated their 20th anniversary on Wednesday in Rome.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a surprise visit with Pope Francis.
The British monarchs, who are currently in Italy on a state visit, marked 20 years since their nuptials on Wednesday, April 9, with a private reception at the Vatican. They received well wishes from the pope, 88, who has recently been recovering from health issues.
“A special moment for Their Majesties as they privately met His Holiness Pope Francis at the Vatican yesterday,” Buckingham Palace shared via X early Thursday, April 10.
“The King and Queen were deeply touched by The Pope’s kind remarks about their 20th wedding anniversary and honoured to be able to share their best wishes to him in person,” the palace’s post continued.
Charles and Camilla initially planned to visit the Holy See as part of their official itinerary, however, the trip was postponed amid Pope Francis’ health issues. Buckingham Palace said in March the visit had been “postponed by mutual agreement” after “medical advice has now suggested that Pope Francis would benefit from an extended period of rest and recuperation.”
Wednesday’s visit came amid a tight itinerary for the royals, which also included a state banquet hosted by Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella at Quirinale Palace in Rome.
Charles, 76, acknowledged his wedding anniversary in a speech thanking the president and other dignitaries during the dinner. “Today marks, as you say, The Queen’s and my twentieth wedding anniversary. On that score, I must say it really is very good of you, Mr. President, to lay on this small romantic, candle-lit dinner for two…,” Charles quipped.
Charles and Camilla, 77, married on April 9, 2005, in a civil wedding at Windsor Guildhall in Windsor, England. The couple were later joined by Charles’ late parents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, for a service of prayer at St George’s Chapel and a reception at Windsor Castle. Camilla was given the title of the Duchess of Cornwall after her marriage to Charles. She later became Queen Camilla following Queen Elizabeth’s death and Charles’ ascension to the throne in September 2022.
Before his marriage to Camilla, Charles was married to Princess Diana from 1981 to 1996. The former couple shared two children, Prince William, 42, and Prince Harry, 40.
Camilla, meanwhile, was married to British Army officer Andrew Parker Bowles from 1973 to 1995. They share two children, Tom Parker Bowles, 50, and Laura Lopes, 47.
Charles and Camilla’s romance began long before their first marriages and resumed while Charles was married to Diana.
Rumors of an affair started swirling in 1986, seven years before the release of a transcript of a 1989 phone call between Charles and Camilla that featured several suggestive comments. At one point, Charles allegedly said he wanted to “live inside [Camilla’s] trousers” and joked about reincarnating as a tampon. The incident was henceforth nicknamed Camillagate or Tampongate.
The interview took place amid Charles and Diana’s separation, which was announced in 1992. Diana, for her part, broke her silence in her own bombshell interview.
“There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,” Diana infamously said in a 1995 interview with BBC’s Panorama when asked whether Camilla contributed to her split from Charles.
Jillian Lauren, the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, is making headlines following a confrontation with Los Angeles police.
Lauren, 51, was shot and injured by police in April 2025, after pointing a handgun at officers from the front yard of her home in LA’s Eagle Rock neighborhood, the LAPD said in a statement. The officers encountered Lauren while they were pursuing three suspects from a misdemeanor hit-and-run. They ordered her to drop the gun many times, but she refused and pointed it at them, the police claim.
The LAPD did not say if Lauren fired the gun, but stated that she was struck by gunfire and fled into her house. She was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and taken to a hospital and treated for a “non-threatening gunshot wound.”
Authorities later determined that Lauren was not involved in the hit-and-run. As of Wednesday, April 9, one suspect connected to it was detained by California Highway Patrol. Two remained at large.
A nine-millimeter handgun was retrieved from Lauren and Shriner’s home. (Us Weekly reached out to the couple for comment.)
The incident arose several days prior to Shriner, 59, taking the stage at Coachella. Weezer, which also consists of Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson and Brian Bell, were added to the music festival’s April 2025 lineup last minute alongside Ed Sheeran.

1. She Dropped Out of NYU and Became a Stripper
Lauren grew up in New Jersey and briefly studied acting at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. However, she left college after six months and took up stripping in Time Square, according to the New York Post.
Lauren detailed her experience with Prince Jefri Bolkiah in her 2010 memoir Some Girls: My Life in a Harem. After meeting Bolkiah, Lauren told her parents that she had landed an acting job. She traveled to Brunei and joined the royal’s harem alongside dozens of other young women. Eventually, she left the prince and returned to the United States.
3. She’s a Mother of Two
Parents Shriner and Lauren in 2011.Jason LaVeris
Lauren married Shriner in November 2005. The couple share two sons, Tariku and Jovanni, whom they adopted in 2007 and 2009, respectively.
She previously opened up about her fertility struggles and becoming a parent following her colorful past.
“On paper, I might not be considered the best candidate for motherhood,” she said on the Motherhood Later blog in 2015. “My husband Scott and I had a long and circuitous road to parenting, including the whole painful infertility thing. We eventually found the right path for us and adopted our son [Tariku] from Ethiopia.”
She added at the time, “In our early years of parenting, I put a lot of pressure on myself to be very, very good, in order to make up for my scandalous past. This was supposed to be my redemption story. What I found instead is that being a good mother wasn’t so much about transcending my past but rather about drawing from my entire range of experiences and learning to embrace the imperfections.”
4. She Wrote a True Crime Book

Lauren is the author of the nonfiction bestseller Behold the Monster: Confronting America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer, which was published in 2023. She spent hundreds of hours with serial killer Sam Little as part of her research. Her interviews with Little were the subject of a true-crime docuseries that aired on Starz in 2021.
5. She Has Been a Foster Care Advocate
The LA-based Lauren and Shriner have both supported foster care organizations including Raise a Child, a nonprofit based in California. The couple appeared in a promotional video in 2018 to tell the story of expanding their family with son Jovanni. “You couldn’t make a better family,” Shriner gushed in the video. “We’re all so meant to be together. It’s just undeniable.”
Kim Zolciak is selling off the furniture in her daughter Ariana’s childhood bedroom.
Zolciak, 46, took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, April 8 to notify her 3. 2 million followers that the furniture was on sale for the price of $10,000.
“Hand-painted perfect condition,” The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum captioned a photo of a colorful bedroom with a pink and purple bed, blue cabinets and a white desk, among other pieces. Zolciak added: “Paid $43,657.00. Pick up only.”
In January, Zolciak and estranged husband Kroy Biermannsold their Alpharetta, Georgia, home for $2.75 million one month after it went up for public auction while facing foreclosure. The selling price was nearly $4 million less than the $6 million the home was originally listed for back in October 2023. The exes purchased the property in 2011 for $880,000.
The month prior, Ariana, 23, posted a farewell video to the house via social media, writing, “Last christmas in my childhood home thank you god for the amazing memories w my family — goodbye <3.”
She explained at the time that it was “where I watched my little siblings grow up into the little humans that they are now, even though they’re all literally taller than me. These [rooms] are where I made such core memories at that house with my family. Like, I’ve lived there since I’m 11. That’s still my childhood home, like, da f—.”
Ariana, who now lives in New York, said it was “upsetting” to spend one last Christmas in the home and pack up her bedroom.
“I also had that room in, like, two different houses,” she said. “That was my iconic room!”
Zolciak and Biermann filed for divorce in May 2023 after 11 years of marriage. They’ve engaged in a contentious war of words throughout their split, especially concerning their financial situation.
“I’m the one who pays all the bills. All the kids’ clothes, all the school clothes, most of the food,” Zolciak claimed to TMZ in September 2024. “He has not paid a bill in that house. He’s paid two electric bills in the last 18 months — not a cable [bill], water [bill], phone [bill], nothing. That man has not paid a bill in that house. [My daughter] Brielle has helped more than he has.”
At the time, Biermann, 39, responded to her claims via his lawyer Marlys A. Bergstrom, who told Us Weekly, “I find it ironic that this interview took place at LAX. Who’s watching the kids? The answer is Kroy. He’s in Georgia working 40-plus hours a week, taking care of the kids and trying to get the marital residence sold so that family can avoid foreclosure.”
Zolciak and Biermann share sons KJ, 13, and Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 11. Biermann is also the adoptive father of Zolciak’s daughters Ariana and Brielle, 28, from past relationships.
Last month, Zolciak told TMZ that she has a new man in her life and she’s happy. She said he’s not an athlete. (Biermann was a linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons from 2008 to 2015.)
Zolciak refrained from spilling all the details, but noted that her beau hails from the Atlanta area and is “age-appropriate.”
“I’m just happy. I have my kids, I’m in my new house, I’m working,” she said in March.
According to her costar Erika Jayne, even the ladies themselves don’t know what’s coming. “No one knows who’s coming back,” the Pretty Mess author, 53, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, April 9. “That’s all up in the air.”
Erika’s assessment came in response to a question about whether she thinks Sutton Stracke has a path forward with her costars after a tumultuous season that saw her at odds with nearly everyone in the cast.
“I really think that’s on Sutton’s shoulders and how she responds to everyone in the cast,” Erika told Us. “We’ll see what happens. I guess if she comes back — if all of us come back, because no one really knows — we’ll see where she ends up with the rest of the ladies.”
While Bravo hasn’t announced any casting decisions for season 15, fans are already nervous about a potential shakeup because of Garcelle’s exit. The former soap star, 58, confirmed in March that she’s not coming back to the series after five seasons.
“Hey, guys, so I have some news. I’ve decided to leave Beverly Hills,” she said in a video shared via Instagram on March 25. “It’s been a wild ride. I mean, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened, but it’s been a ride nevertheless.”
Garcelle noted that she wants to spend more time with her youngest sons, 17-year-old twins Jax and Jaid, who will soon start their senior year of high school.
“I want to be a part of that, and Jaid is starting a new career, and I want to be a part of that too,” she continued. “Secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in. I can’t tell you anything right now, but you’ll know soon.”
After Garcelle’s announcement, Erika appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen and said she wasn’t surprised by her exit.
“We’ve known that she’s quit for two weeks. We knew this,” Erika said later on March 25. “She did not take the cast photo with us [at the reunion], which is a clear indication that, ‘I am leaving.’”
Erika, meanwhile, made an exit of her own on Wednesday following her elimination from The Masked Singer after competing as Yorkie. The former Broadway star exclusively told Us that she had an absolute blast performing on the Fox competition series.
“If you cannot have fun as a yorkie in a miniskirt and a crop top — I have no idea what else could be more perfect,” she quipped. “I love to perform. The production quality is amazing. The costumes are outrageous, and you get to just have a good time, so why not?”
Part 3 of the RHOBH season 14 reunion airs on Bravo Tuesday, April 15, at 8 p.m. ET. The Masked Singer airs on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
During the Thursday, April 10, episode of The Kardashians, Khloé, 40, revealed that Lamar, 45, still sends her private messages on social media with “the strangest f***ing videos.” Kris, 69, joked that Lamar was showing Khloé his blow-up doll inspired by her.
“Can you believe that? I found out about his blow-up doll the same way we all did. It was on the internet. Not sure why that is something we are publicly talking about,” Khloé noted before calling Lamar’s behavior “so demonic and unwell.”
Kris, however, took a different approach. “I think one of my New Year’s resolutions is going to be kinder and not so judgmental,” she said in a confessional. “So Lamar, if a blow-up doll is going to make you happy then you go get it.”
Despite Kris’ more positive approach, Khloé expressed frustration with the situation.
“It is not a f***ing support doll,” she fired back. “I am supposed to be flattered by this? It is more like this validates how different we are and how much we have grown apart. It is creepy and weird but I am not hurt by it. It is more his journey. It is just weird and gross.”

Khloé and Lamar dated for one month before getting engaged in 2009. They got married later that year and Khloé filed for divorce four years later. Khloé later postponed her court motion after Lamar — who struggled with substance abuse during part of their marriage — was left comatose following an overdose at a legal brothel in Nevada.
“Lamar was and is definitely someone that I felt was the love of my life,” Khloé told the cameras in a February episode of her Hulu show. “I got married when I was 24 and although him and I got married 30 days to the day we met, I loved him with all of my heart and soul. I took my vows very seriously and I was married for about seven years. But there were bigger things that were not fixable in that marriage. So the last time I saw him was in 2016.”
Lamar, meanwhile, offered an apology to his ex-wife. “I put you through a lot,” he admitted on the show “I f***** up with you. I love you for trying your hardest with me. That love will never go away, I know it won’t.”
After Lamar recovered, Khloé went through with their divorce. She later moved on with Tristan Thompson and the duo welcomed daughter True in 2018. Days before her arrival, Tristan, 34, cheated on his then-pregnant girlfriend with multiple women.
Khloé and Tristan initially stayed together but split when he kissed her sister Kylie Jenner’s BFFJordyn Woods in 2019. Tristan and Khloé continued to date off-and-on before their son, Tatum, was born via surrogate in 2022.
“I get offended, whether it be Tristan or Lamar, where these people do these outrageous things and then they see me again and act as if nothing happened,” Khloé told Kendall Jenner and Kylie on Thursday’s episode. “Or they [joke] about putting their tongue down my throat.”
She continued: “Does it say ‘f***ing doormat’ on my forehead? And it probably does to these people because I have been in so many different ways. Then it gets taken advantage of with the sexual comments. It is really insulting to me.”
Brooke Candy and Erika Jayne continue to be at odds over proper credit for their song “Drip,” a track featured on the 2025 Oscar-winning film Anora’s soundtrack.
Candy, 35, and Jayne, 53, collaborated on the 2019 song, which was brought up by Andy Cohen during part 1 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion earlier this week. When Jayne — who called the song’s newfound success “wild” — failed to mention Candy’s name in the conversation, the rapper subsequently struck back in a Tuesday, April 8, TikTok video, calling her “rude” and asking “why could you have not used that moment to give me my flowers? I put you on that song.”
Despite Candy feeling snubbed by the moment, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Jayne, who is an independent artist herself, “has nothing but respect and appreciation for all artists in the music industry.”
“It is very disappointing to see that [Erika’s] choice of expression around her own work on her own social platforms, as well as her work with the RHOBH, is being ridiculed and made to be something it is not,” the insider said. The source also claimed that “Erika did promote the song on her social platforms, which helped boost royalties that Brooke solely received, and it was very clear that Brooke was involved in the project.”
Candy was also featured in a 2019 episode of RHOBH when the two women performed together at the VFILES fashion show as part of New York Fashion Week. Jayne’s costars at the time — including Denise Richards, Teddi Mellencamp and Lisa Rinna — were on hand to watch the pair perform.
Still, Candy posted a follow-up TikTok video on Wednesday, April 9, that accused Jayne of using Anora to promote herself — even failing to invite the rapper to a “private screening” of the movie at the AMC The Grove in Los Angeles — and claimed Jayne was taking credit for the song by posting about it on Instagram without “tagging” her. Candy also said that she, not Jayne, wrote the reality star’s parts of the song.
“How could I not have a problem? She didn’t tag me. That’s my song. She’s literally taking credit for my song. It’s insane. Like, you don’t do this as an artist,” said Candy. “That’s why she’s not an artist. She doesn’t get it. But you don’t do this. It’s rude. It’s rude, and it’s delusional, and it’s wrong. You can’t do that.”
The insider, however, claimed to Us that Candy is the only vocalist who gained from this project financially, as Jayne “did not receive or ask for one cent” from the project.
“Erika paid all her own expenses around her involvement in the project and was not even made aware that the song appeared in the film Anora until its release,” the source alleged to Us. “Again, Brooke benefited financially from the film without ever mentioning the song’s involvement to Erika, who again received zero compensation, nor did she ask for it.”
As for the invite to the screening of Anora, the source explained that who attended the event was out of Jayne’s hands. “[Erika] was invited, she said yes and she showed up like a professional,” the source continued. “Whether or not other talent are invited is at the discretion of the studio, Neon.”
Us has also reached out to Candy’s rep for comment.
Jax Taylor is opening up about his son Cruz’s autism diagnosis.
“We’ve known for a while,” Taylor, 45, told Extra on Wednesday, April 9. “Brittany and I have been going back and forth on how we wanted to tell everybody. My little boy is amazing. He’s so beautiful. He’s so delicious. He’s such a smart individual you know, but he’s obviously got some issues with autism.”
Earlier Wednesday, Taylor’s estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, announced in an interview with People that their 3-year-old son had been diagnosed six months prior by his developmental pediatrician.
“I want to be affiliated with autism for the rest of my life,” Taylor said following the announcement. “I want to be in charities. I want to be whatever I can do to spread awareness to help financially, physically, mental. I want to be a part of it all. I feel like this is a sign from somebody that I need to be a part of this world and I want to help out other parents. I want to meet other parents.”
The Bravo star added: “When you see other kids … progressing a little bit further than your son and you’re like ‘Why aren’t they understanding?’ It can be a little frustrating, but I know he’ll get there. He’s just taking a little longer.”
Cartwright, 36, told People that Cruz is mostly nonverbal, but will “sporadically say different words.” She said it’s “difficult because I’ve never heard him say, ‘I love you.’ But he is so loving, and he shows me he loves me every single day. He is such a mommy’s boy.”

Currently, she’s focused on “early intervention.”
“This is the time he’s building his brain,” she noted. “I’m just trying to do everything I possibly can to help him live the happiest life ever. I feel very blessed that I’m able to give him everything that he needs, and that’s why I want to help as many mothers as I can. I have learned so much over the past couple years.”
Speaking with Extra, Taylor — who revealed last month that he’s recovering from cocaine addiction — shared that Cruz “is my sole force, my driving force to being here today. That little boy is my angel. I love him more than anything in the world.”
Taylor made his Bravo debut on Vanderpump Rules in 2013. His ups and downs, including his marriage to Cartwright, featured on the show until his 2020 departure. In 2024, he and Cartwright appeared on the first season of the Vanderpump spinoff The Valley.
After the season wrapped, he checked himself into a treatment center in July 2024. He revealed that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder before later confirming his substance abuse issues.
“I grew up like a lot of guys — we don’t talk about our feelings,” Taylor exclusively told Us Weekly last month. “I’m going to break that cycle. I want my son to talk about whatever he wants to talk about. Let’s be open. It’s OK not to be OK. I just couldn’t take the weight anymore. The pressure. I don’t want my son to feel like that. I want him to be open and honest. I will never judge him at all. I’ll be his biggest cheerleader.”
He added: “Everything I do is for [Cruz]. He’s the reason I went to rehab. I want to be here for him the rest of my life. I want him to go, my dad had a problem, he confronted it, he was open about it. If he can be proud of me for that, that would be amazing.”
Grace Ann Nader is shedding light on the alleged end of sister Brooks Nader’s relationship with Gleb Savchenko.
“She doesn’t know it yet but in 24 hours she’ll find out he cheated,” Grace Ann wrote over a Tuesday, April 8, TikTok of Brooks, 28, sitting on Savchenko’s lap and making out.
When one user questioned whether “there’s any hard evidence bc if this is for PR and being OK with potentially ruining someone’s reputation is not OK,” Grace Ann replied, “There is hard evidence.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Brooks and Savchenko’s reps for comment.
Us confirmed on Monday, April 7, that the couple went their separate ways after rekindling their romance in late 2024. A source told Us at the time that Brooks was “the one who ended things.” Savchenko, for his part, said in a statement to Us that he was “surprised to learn” through the media that Brooks “ended our relationship.”
“The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6th, asking to speak,” he said. “I called her today in response, but she has not replied.”
The Dancing With the Stars pro, 41, claimed that he last saw Brooks while filming her upcoming reality series a week before news broke of the split — and he thought everything was status quo. (Us confirmed earlier this month that Brooks’ reality series with Grace Ann, Mary Holland and Sarah Jane Nader began filming.)
“The last time I saw Brooks was when I traveled to New York to support her and film an episode of her reality show on March 31st and April 1st,” he said. “And she was sad to see me leave, but I had to return to DWTS to finish my four month tour at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.”
Savchenko told Us that he is “still processing everything” and doesn’t “have all the answers,” but wishes Brooks “the best moving forward.”
Brooks and Savchenko first crossed paths in 2024, when they were cast as partners on DWTS season 33. As the pair heated up the dance floor, Us confirmed that Brooks and Savchenko were “hooking up.” After their elimination, Brooks and Savchenko’s relationship fizzled out — but they later reunited for the finale episode and confirmed their romance in December 2024.
When asked by TMZ whether his relationship with Brooks was a “showmance,” Savchenko denied the idea that it was all for the cameras. “Of course it’s real. Everything is real,” he said. “We’re not playing. We’re not playing games.”
“The more I think this, the more anxious I get,” Paige, 32, told Ciara Miller during the Wednesday, April 9, episode of the Bravo series, referring to the issues she faced with Craig, 36, last summer. “In true, like, Paige and Craig fashion, I was like, ‘Dude, I feel like you’re not supportive.’”
Ciara, 29, instantly had Paige’s back, saying, “I don’t want him stealing the shine from your tour.” (Throughout season 9 of Summer House, which filmed in 2024, Paige and Craig butted heads over her alleged lack of interest for their relationship as she prepared to go on a “Giggly Squad” podcast tour that fall. They called it quits before the holidays.)
Ciara confessed that Craig gives “hater boyfriend energy” when he “refuses to acknowledge” Paige’s successes. The model asked, “Why should you dim your light just to make him feel comfortable?”
Paige noted that she thinks Craig’s ideal scenario would be for her to “work less” so she could focus more on him.
When Ciara asked point blank if Paige would “ever want to live in Charleston,” Paige didn’t hesitate with her answer. “No. I’ve told him multiple times,” she said. “I was like, ‘I don’t want to have children in Charleston. I don’t want to raise them in Charleston.’ He was like, ‘That’s fine, we’ll do it in New York.’ Like, OK. But then as it gets closer, and more real, he’s like, ‘I don’t know.’”

Paige, who lives in New York, explained that it would be hard for her to uproot her life to move to Craig’s city in South Carolina. “I’m the breadwinner, so why the f*** would you not move to me?” Paige quipped. “That would just be stupid, logistically.”
The fashion correspondent claimed to Ciara that she’s told Craig “so many times” that he can end their relationship “if this is not what you want.”
“You’re putting it on him,” Ciara said, calling out Paige for seemingly avoiding her own feelings about the situation. “It’s so much easier to give the other person the out than to really dig deep and determine if that’s really what you want. Sorry.”
Eugene Gologursky/Bravo
Paige took in Ciara’s words and then confessed, “I love Craig. When I think about me and Craig breaking up, I get upset. I’m like, ‘No. I don’t want him with anyone else. I don’t want to be with anyone else.’ So, I get conflicted.”
She wondered why she doesn’t “compromise on certain s***” if she feels sad over the thought of losing Craig, admitting, “I feel like I’m being gaslit into things that I need to compromise on.”
“I don’t want you to keep going deeper and further into this if, one it’s not truly what you want, or two, it’s not compatible with how you even see your future,” Ciara responded. “I feel like it’s going to be a lifelong tussle.”
Paige, who appeared visibly upset, acknowledged that “it’s just a lot.” When Ciara asked, “Do you feel like he’s still your person?” she seemed unsure.
After a long pause, Paige replied, “I don’t know.”
Less than four months later, Paige broke up with Craig after spending Thanksgiving with her family. She announced their split in December 2024 after three years of dating.
During the season 10 finale of Southern Charm, which aired last month, Craig claimed that Paige told him, “I need to find myself,” and wanted to “take control of my life again.” Us Weekly confirmed last month that Craig is dating Natalie Buffett following his split from Paige.
Summer House airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
Ed Sheeran and Taylor SwiftAnna Webber/Getty Images for Atlantic Records
Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran have been friends just as long as they have been collaborators.
The musicians’ friendship began in 2012, the same year they debuted their first duet, “Everything Has Changed,” on Swift’s Red album. They later appeared in the June 2013 music video for the song alongside child actors portraying younger versions of themselves.
Flash forward 10 years, Swift was featured on Sheeran’s February 2022 track “The Joker And the Queen.” The song was a full-circle moment for the celebrity pals, as Ava Ames and Jack Lewis — the “Everything Has Changed” child actors — once again portrayed versions of Sheeran and Swift in the music video.
“She would be there if everything ended for me,” Sheeran told Rolling Stone in March 2017. “Taylor is kind of an anomaly in that sense. She’s omnipresent because she’s the most famous woman in the world, so she can’t make the decision to not be in the press. I always stick up for Taylor.”
Scroll below to see the best moments from Swift and Sheeran’s friendship:
October 2012
Two months after the release of “Everything Has Changed,” Swift and Sheeran performed the track for the first time at the 2012 Jingle Ball that December.
March 2013
Sheeran served as Swift’s opening act for the North American of her Red tour. The same month the two hit the road, Sheeran shut down romantic speculation between him and the “All Too Well” singer.
He told New Zealand’s TVNZ that while he had spent the night in a hotel room with Swift, he was only showing her new music. “I did stay there ’til four and I did leave in the same clothes, but I was playing her my new record. It was strictly that kind of thing,” he clarified. “Literally, I went in there and we passed the guitar back and forth and played songs to each other.”
Sheeran went on to joke: “The thing that impressed me with the media is that because they wrote about it, my mates believed it. And my mates are texting me being like, ‘Is it true?’ So I said it wasn’t but the fact that people can believe it makes me feel like a bit of a stud, you know?”

August 2013
Swift poked fun at her infamous 2009 VMAs moment with Kanye West in message she wrote on a jar of jam she gifted Sheeran for his birthday. “Yo Ed — I’m really 4 you and I’m gonna let u finish but this is the best JAM OF ALL TIME,” the jar read.
June 2014
After many speculated Sheeran’s song “Don’t” was about a possible romantic betrayal from Swift, he clarified in an interview with Parade Magazine that the tune was “about someone who’s well known, but not Taylor.” The article noted that the song was also rumored to be about Ellie Goulding.
December 2014
Swift and Sheeran were among many celebrity performers at the 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Though they performed their respective tracks “Blank Space” and “Thinking Out Loud” separately, they stood together during the show’s curtain call.
“I don’t think he ever knew how inspired I was by his drive and passion to constantly create new art,” Swift wrote. “But it’s his 25th birthday today, so I’m saying it now. You deserve everything you have, and everything you will continue to achieve, Ed.”
“Taylor was never the popular kid in school. I was never the popular kid in school,” Sheeran told British GQ of his ad Swift’s career successes. “Then you get to the point when you become the most popular kid in school — and we both take it a bit too far.”
He continued: “She wants to be the biggest female artist in the world and I want to be the biggest male artist in the world. It also comes from always being told that you can’t do something and being like, ‘F–k you. I can.’”
“A few years ago, in a rare moment of admitting feeling defeated, Ed said to me, ‘I’m never going to win a Grammy.’ ‘Yes, you are,’ I said. ‘You’re going to sweep the whole thing one of these years,’” she wrote. “It was a few weeks later when he met me in a dance-shoe store in London, where I was picking out rehearsal outfits, and said, ‘You have to hear this.’ It was a song he’d just finished called ‘Thinking Out Loud,’ which went on to win Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards in 2016.”
Swift went on to state that Sheeran is “protected by an impenetrable and ever-present armor of enthusiasm that has helped him endure any setback, letdown or underestimation.”

The pair collaborated once more on Swift’s sixth studio album, Reputation, on the track “Endgame,” which also featured Future. Just like they did with “Everything Has Changed” the friends performed “Endgame” for the first time at that years’ iHeartRadio Jingle Ball.
Both Sheeran and Future appeared alongside Swift in the song’s music video released in January 2018.
“Taylor, the AMA nominations came out. It’s me, you and Drake,” Sheeran told Swift. They each responded by telling the other, “You’re going to win,” before admitting they think “Drake’s going to win.”
Filmed while taking a hike together, Swift jokingly asked Sheeran, “It’s called exercise. Have you ever done cardio? Strumming a guitar doesn’t count.”
“Just because he didn’t post anything it doesn’t mean he is not supporting her, maybe he’s talking with her right now, who knows,” the user wrote, to which Sheeran replied, “I have been speaking directly to her, like I always do.”

Sheeran revealed during an episode of “Call Her Daddy” that he typically sees Swift around “four times a year.”
The “A-Team” singer added that when the duo do cross paths, their hangouts are “proper sit down, six-hour catch-ups, which he prefers. “I think that’s like a really nice way to do it,” he shared.
Looking back on his best memories with Swift — many of which occurred when he was opening for her on the Red Tour — Sheeran recalled when the pair both lived in Nashville and traveled together for shows, which brought them closer together.
“We used to fly to and from the gigs together and do all sorts of [stuff],” he recalled. “I literally spent almost every single day with her for about six months.”

Influencer Hannah Campbell is mourning the loss of her 10-month-old daughter, Elliana Rose.
“Our sweet girl Elliana Rose lost her battle last night,” Campbell shared via TikTok on Monday, April 7. “She passed peacefully last night, wrapped in love. I don’t know what to do with myself today. I’m heartbroken, and I’m angry. No child should have to endure what she did. EB stole her from us. Let’s fight for a cure so no other family has to feel this. Thank you for loving her with us.”
Elliana had suffered from epidermolysis bullosa, known as EB, a rare genetic disorder that affects the skin as well as the mucous membranes that line the mouth, throat and stomach, among other internal areas, according to Mayo Clinic. EB causes painful blistering. Babies born with the condition are called “butterfly children” because their skin is so delicate.
Campbell used her TikTok as a platform to share the highs and lows of her short time with Elliana, and raise awareness about her child’s struggle to live normally. She posted videos of the little one bonding with her older sister, Ember, celebrating her 6-month birthday, enjoying the snow and watching fireworks explode over Disney World’s Cinderella Castle. (Campbell and her husband, Jacob, share Elliana and Ember, a toddler.)
Recently, Elliana’s health had taken a turn for the worse. In late March, Campbell shared a heartbreaking clip of her baby drinking from a bottle while struggling to keep her eyes closed.
“Ellie’s body is slowing down, and we’re staying by her side, giving her all our love,” she said at the time.
This past weekend, she shared a video of the baby sleeping in a bouncer.
“Ellie is still with us, but her body is tired,” Campbell wrote in an update. “She hasn’t opened her eyes, eaten, and can hardly cry. We’re holding her close and loving her through every breath.”
Following Elliana’s diagnosis in 2024, “her family made the decision to leave their home in Virgina and relocate to their hometown in Maine,” according to a donation page on the EB Research Partnership website. “This move was made in order to be closer to their families and to the specialized medical care available in Massachusetts. This fundraiser is being organized with the aim of providing support to Elliana and other babies facing similar health conditions.”
The message noted, “Tragically, with this diagnosis, it is unlikely that Elliana will live beyond her first year.”
