The Pitt has been renewed for a second season — but what possible changes could the Max series go through?
The medical drama, which premiered in January 2025, highlighted the highs and lows of working in emergency medicine with an unconventional approach — 15 episodes that showcase 15 hours of one shift.
The Pitt ultimately turned into weekly appointment viewing, which marked Noah Wyle‘s second successful medical series. ER, which aired from 1994 to 2009, followed the inner life of an emergency room in a fictionalized version of Chicago’s real Cook County Hospital. Wyle starred alongside George Clooney, Julianna Marguiles, Anthony Edwards, Eriq La Salle and Sherry Stringfield (and later John Stamos, Mekhi Pfifer and Linda Cardellini).
More than a decade after ER ended, Wyle returned as the star and executive producer of The Pitt. One month after its debut, The Pitt won over fans and critics alike and earned itself a second season.

During an appearance at Deadline’s “Contenders TV” panel in April 2025, executive producer R. Scott Gemmill revealed that season 2 of the hit Max series will take place over the Fourth of July weekend. Gemmill confirmed that the new episodes will pick up 10 months after the season 1 finale.
Who Would Reprise Their Characters for Season 2?
John Johnson/Max
It hasn’t been confirmed whether the same cast will return for season 2 but the day shift was made up of Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), Dr. Collins (Tracy Ifeachor), Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball), Dana (Katherine LaNasa), Dr. Moha (Supriya Ganesh), Dr. Cassie McKay (Fiona Dourif), Dr. King (Taylor Dearden), Dr. Santos (Isa Briones), Whitaker (Gerran Howell) and Javadi (Shabana Azeez).
There is also the night shift to consider including Dr. Abbot (Shawn Hatosy), Dr. Shen (Ken Kirby) and Dr. Ellis (Ayesha Harris).
Speaking of the night shift, fans were immediately intrigued by the batch of new characters who work overnight. If season 2 returns to following the day shift, is there a chance their replacements could get their own show?
“I want to keep going with him as far as they want to go. I enjoy the show so much,” Hatosy told Us in April 2025 about expanding the universe. “It’s like a theater troupe. It’s a wonderful thing to collaborate on, and sky’s the limit. If they wanna make a [The] Pitt: Night Shift, I am all in, wholeheartedly.”
What Does the Cast Know About The Pitt’s Future?
John Johnson/Max
“As we were shooting, we asked them [about the season 2 setup] and they said, ‘We have no idea what we’re going to do yet.’ They are very good at what they do,” Dearden told Us in February 2025. “We have no information but it would be interesting to see the next day, I don’t think it’s going to be pick up right there [though].”
Which Story Lines Still Need to Be Addressed in Season 2?
The major opened-ended arc belongs to Ball’s character Langdon. The senior resident originally was dismissed by Robby after the senior attending was tipped off about Langdon stealing opioids from patients to treat his own drug addiction. Langdon returned during the mass shooting to assist but ended on bad terms with Robby — and refused to get help.
Where Did Season 1 Leave Off?
Warrick Page/Max
During the season 1 finale, which aired in April 2025, Dr. Robby and the rest of the day shift concluded their cases before heading out for the night. He was still dealing with the fallout of not being able to save his ex-girlfriend’s son Jake’s girlfriend. Collins was recovering from a miscarriage, Mohan was questioning her work and life balance, McKay was nearly arrested and more.
Who Could Leave Before Season 2?
In addition to Langdon, Dana and Javadi were the ones most likely not to return to season 2 after a tumultuous day shift.
The Pitt finale didn’t just wrap up the first shift — it also hinted at multiple possible cast exits.
During the Thursday, April 10, episode of the hit Max series, Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) and the rest of the day shift concluded their cases before heading out for the night. Robby was still struggling with the weight of the mass shooting as Dana (Katherine LaNasa) and Abbot (Shawn Hatosy) supported him.
The hospital staff wrapped up but several characters including Dana and Javadi’s (Shabana Azeez) respective futures at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital remained unclear. The Pitt, which premiered in January, follows a group of employees at a fictional Pittsburgh hospital’s ER working a single 15-hour shift.
One month after its debut, the show was renewed for a second season, which is expected to air in January 2026. The next installment will be set months later during July 4th weekend. Before season 1 came to an end, star Isa Briones applauded The Pittfor its medical accuracy.
“The 10 of us doctors all got medical bootcamp for two weeks before we started filming, which was so helpful,” Briones, 26, exclusively told Us Weekly in February. “On set we always have [technical advisor] Dr. Joe Sachs — he’s there all the time.”
She added: “[They] cycle through every episode. So a different doctor is assigned to every episode and they handle choreographing all of the big trauma scenes — anything that involves medical choreography. But the bootcamp was so helpful because it’s not like they can teach us how to be a doctor in two weeks, obviously. But it gave us the tools and gave us the language of the right questions to ask when we are actually choreographing something like that.”

Dr. Robby Robinavitch
Warrick Page/MAX
While wrapping up for the day, Robby tried to speak with his ex-girlfriend’s son after not being able to save his girlfriend after a mass shooting. Jake wasn’t having it and instead told Robby that he wasn’t his father to hurt him. Robby struggled mentally but pep talks from Dana and Abbot helped him before he headed home.
Dr. Heather Collins
Warrick Page/MAX
Collins (Tracy Ifeachor) never returned after leaving the hospital because she presumably was getting some rest after experiencing a miscarriage at work.
Dr. Frank Langdon
Warrick Page/MAX
The first season wrapped up with one final conversation between Langdon (Patrick Ball) and Robby (Noah Wyle), which turned into an argument. The mentor-mentee shouted at each other as Robby headed back into the hospital but Langdon’s fate remained unknown after he refused to get help for his addiction.
Dana Evans
Warrick Page/MAX
After getting punched earlier in the season, Dana heavily hinted that she was ready to leave her job. She mentioned it to Langdon and Robby before quietly collecting her valuables from her desk and potentially leaving Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital for good.
The finale started with Mohan (Supriya Ganesh) still riding a high after working on overdrive. She eventually came back down — and briefly cried in the bathroom — before wrapping up for the day. Mohan also debated whether her life was fulfilling if she didn’t have a life outside of work before reuniting with her coworkers for an after-shift drink.
Dr. Cassie McKay
Warrick Page/MAX
Despite getting arrested for tampering with her ankle monitor, McKay (Fiona Dourif) was quickly set free when Robby stepped in and pointed out how many lives she saved — including a police officer’s. She left the hospital to reunite with her son at home.
Dr. Mel King
Warrick Page/MAX
Mel’s (Taylor Dearden) first shift ended with her getting to do the spinal tap on the boy with measles. She then picked up her sister and they headed for dinner — and a movie — while Mel was obviously exhausted.
Dr. Trinity Santos
Warrick Page/MAX
The last case of Santos’ (Isa Briones) shift gave her a chance to work on her bedside manner. After suspecting that a guy tried to die by suicide, she offered him support and opened up about her own issues with mental health, which inspired him to get help.
Santos also discovered a secret about Whitaker (Gerran Howell) that led to her getting a roommate.
Dennis Whitaker

Following his shift, Whitaker was seen by Santos heading to an abandoned part of the hospital. It turned out he had no home and has been squatting on an empty floor of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical. Santos offered him a place to stay, which he accepted.
The chaotic 15-hour shift seemed to make Javadi reconsider emergency medicine but then Mateo (Jalen Thomas Brooks) invited her to an after-work drink with some of their coworkers and suddenly Javadi was back in.
Dr. Jack Abbot

Abbot wrapped up his shift along with Robby and joined the others for a drink. It was subsequently revealed that Abbot is an amputee — presumably from his time in the military.
“I have been diagnosed with ALS,” the Grey’s Anatomy alum, 52, said in a statement to People on Thursday, April 10. “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.”
Dane shares daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, with wife Rebecca Gayheart. In addition to expressing his gratitude for his loved ones, Dane also shared his appreciation for his work on Euphoria, which will start filming for season three following its extended hiatus.
“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week,” the statement continued. “I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”
ALS stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The condition, which is also referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, per the Mayo Clinic. It causes loss of muscle control and gets worse over time. There is no cure.
The news of Dane’s condition comes nearly one month after Gayheart, 53, filed to dismiss her divorce from the actor. Dane and Gayheart tied the knot in 2004. In 2018, Gayheart filed for divorce from Dane after 14 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

While Gayheart and Dane did not reach a divorce settlement within that seven-year span, the pair have put their main focus on being amicable coparents for their kids.
One day before news broke about Dane’s condition, Gayheart addressed where the pair stood after calling off the divorce.
“We are best of friends. We are really close. We are great coparents,” she told E! News on Wednesday, April 9. “We really figured out the formula to staying a family and I think our kids are benefiting greatly from it and we are as well.”
Despite their ups and downs, Gayheart applauded what she and Dane have accomplished over the years.
“I think it’s important to not look at a relationship that ends as a failure. It’s just a season. It wasn’t a failure. It was a huge success,” she continued. “We were married for, I mean, we are still married, but together for 15 years and we had two beautiful kids so I think that’s a successful relationship, and that’s how we look at it.”
John Stamos and his wife, Caitlin McHugh Stamos, are celebrating their only child’s 7th birthday.
In a poignant message shared via Instagram on Thursday, April 10, the Fuller House alum, 61, wished son Billy a happy birthday before sharing a message to the “real hero of April 10,” Caitlin.
“Today our Billy boy turns 7. SEVEN. A magical, chaotic, hilarious, action-packed, deep-feeling, big-hearted SEVEN,” John wrote.
The actor continued wife praise for his wifte, adding, “While it’s a day to celebrate the joy he brings into the world (and man, does he ever), it’s also a day to celebrate someone else: His mom. Caitlin.”
As John explained, it was Caitlin, 38, who “did all the work” seven years ago when bringing Billy into the world.
“The real work. The growing-a-whole-human-inside-her-body work,” he said. “The nine months of sacrifice, nausea, back pain, no-sleep, all-love work. The labor that turned her body inside out and her heart wide open. The recovery, the healing, the nursing, the nights without sleep, the years without rest. So yes, today we celebrate Billy and the magical little human he is becoming. But this day — this exact day — will always be hers, too,” John wrote alongside a photo from when Caitlin was pregnant with Billy. “A reminder of her strength, her love, and everything she gave to bring him into this world.”
He concluded, “We see you, Caitlin. And we love you.”
John and Caitlin first met in 2011 after they met on the set of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Caitlin, however, was engaged at the time. The pair reconnected after John learned Caitlin’s engagement came to an end and their romance began in 2015. They got married 2018, and welcomed their son later that year.
“Happy 7th to our boy,” John shared via Instagram on Thursday. “And happy birth day to the one who made him.”
Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter Chelsea O’Donnell has filed to change her name following her multiple arrests last year.
Chelsea, 27, submitted paperwork to legally change her name according to court records viewed by Us Weekly on Thursday, April 10. The request was made in late January and a hearing is scheduled for May of this year.
The Daily Mail was first to break the news. The outlet reported that Chelsea wants to change her last name back to her birth mother’s maiden name, which is Neuens. (Rosie adopted Chelsea as a baby in 1997.)
Rosie, 63, and Chelsea have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years. The actress recently shared a lengthy poem via her Substack page that was titled “My Daughter Chelsea.”
“She wants her privacy / I am her mom / The story is out there / People judge and ask / Why didn’t u try more … / U should have done something else … / I would never have … / if she were mine,” the poem read.
The piece also mentioned that Chelsea had two additional mother figures, her birth mother and Rosie’s ex-wife, Kelli Carpenter.

“Every adoption story is complicated / Nuance and subtext / A primal wound / Sometimes doesn’t heal / Her story is her own to tell / And now — almost 28 years old / She wants a private life / She deserves one too,” the poem continued.
Rosie also referred to Chelsea’s legal trouble and her daughter’s struggles with substance abuse. (Chelsea was arrested three times in 2024 on multiple felony charges, including drug possession. In December 2024, Chelsea was ordered to maintain her sobriety while out on bail.)
“Her journey / Made public by a series of bad decisions / On everyone’s part / When she was a young teen,” Rosie’s piece reads. “Some things are hard to come back from / Why don’t u talk about her more / How can I / What would I say.”
Rosie — who is also mom to Parker, 29, Blake, 25, Vivienne, 22, and Clay, 12 — shared that Chelsea wanted to change her last name to “her birth mom’s maiden name.” While the decision doesn’t “make sense” to Rosie, she vowed to remain supportive of her daughter.
“It’s not about me / I am here for her — She’s not here for me / A wise woman once said / A few months ago / A judge in Wisconsin / Told her he was proud of her / She had completed treatment,” she penned.
Rosie also applauded Chelsea for earning her high school diploma and being on the path toward recovery. The League of Our Own star revealed that Chelsea gave her permission to publicly share the poem and included a photo of her daughter smiling while in court.
The couple welcomed their son, James, five years into their marriage, followed by twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, in 2009. While the duo tend to keep their family life private, Parker exclusively opened up about her kids’ interests with Us Weekly in April 2018.
“My son is in high school and has a wonderful group of friends,” she shared at the time. “He plays soccer and piano. And the girls are happy and enjoying life and learning. They’re really well.”
Broderick chimed in, adding, “Our kids are so smart you don’t need to do anything [to help with homework.] They’re like little computers.”
The following year, Parker exclusively told Us how she and Broderick keep their marriage “strong” while raising children together.
“We don’t talk about it,” the And Just Like That star said, calling their relationship “nice and private.” She added, “We’ve grown. We have a family, we have children, we have friends that have passed away, we have relationships.”
Keep scrolling to see the couple’s rare family photos over the years:
Parker celebrated her son's "bittersweet" 19th birthday, writing via Instagram: "He doesn't wake with us. He is in his life. Away. In his studies. Among new friends. Sending home details. There is so much to tell. New adults making lasting impressions. Opening his still young eyes. New thoughts. New books. New and different mornings. ... Hoping every birthday wish to come true. Xxx, mama."
"My love for you is an ache and an honor," Parker captioned throwback Instagram photos of James for his 18th birthday. "As you leap toward and into your future, I remain your privileged and steadfast confident and joyful witness to the year ahead. Happy birthday my first-time voter. I love you so."
“Cheers, California,” James captioned a slideshow of Instagram pics, one of which featured a selfie of the family of five snuggling up together in bed.
James gave rare glimpses of their family vacation in several snaps posted via social media.
In one pic shared via Instagram, he posed with his dad, while another photo showed his parents standing back-to-back in a field while the sun set behind them.
According to a death certificate released by the Los Angeles County Department of Health and obtained by TMZ on Thursday, April 10, Kilmer’s immediate cause of death has been confirmed as pneumonia.
Underlying causes listed on the death certificate include acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, chronic respiratory failure and squamous cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue.
According to the certificate, malnutrition and a tracheocutaneous fistula — often a complication of tracheostomy — were also contributing factors. He was 65.
TMZ reported that Kilmer was cremated on Monday, April 7, or a week after his death.
Earlier this month, news broke that the Top Gun actor reportedly died of pneumonia in Los Angeles, according toThe New York Times who spoke with Kilmer’s daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, on April 1. (Kilmer is also survived by his son, Jack, whom he shares with ex-wife Joanne Whalley.)
“Thank you for honoring our extraordinary father’s memory,” the Batman Forever star’s family said to People. “We are so proud of him and honored to see his legacy celebrated. At this time, we would like to grieve privately.”
Val KilmerJason LaVeris/FilmMagic
Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2015 and was later featured in a July 2021 documentary about his life, titled Val. The project showed him requiring a breathing tube.
After a long career in Hollywood, the actor became best known for his performances in 1986’s Top Gun alongside Tom Cruise, in addition to portraying Jim Morrison in 1991’s The Doors and Batman in 1995’s Batman Forever.
Many costars were quick to pay tribute to Kilmer and share fond memories of the actor after his death.
“I’d like to honor a dear friend of mine, Val Kilmer, for a moment,” Cruise, 62, began during an appearance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 3. “I can’t tell you how much I admired his work.”
Drew Barrymore also recalled working with Kilmer in Batman Forever.
“I was friends with Joel Schumacher, the director, who I thought of this morning because it was he and Val Kilmer that pulled me into Batman Forever,” she shared on an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. “And Val Kilmer was so nice to me. He was so nurturing and kind and safe, which was a very important thing for me.”
She added, “I was like, ‘Nobody wants anything from me, they want things for me,’ which I thought was really interesting.”
While many reach for travel totes to complete their chic airport fits or pack for a weekend getaway, Katie Holmes has incorporated them into her everyday uniform. The Dawson’s Creek actress has been seen schlepping her things around New York City in a sleek carry-all, inspiring Us to upgrade our oversized bag collection. . . with an affordable $50 lookalike.
On April 1, Holmes was spotted in the Meatpacking District, welcoming spring in a sleek white blazer, matching trousers and a breezy blue and white striped top. Aviator sunglasses and slide sandals made the look complete, but while her whole outfit was a vibe, we couldn’t stop staring at her Brunello Cucinelli BC Duo bag, which is the perfect mix of practical and chic.
While the $3,700 price tag initially made us do a double-take, we didn’t give up on finding a similar style for ourselves. We eventually found a luxe lookalike on Amazon that’s 99% less!

The eco-friendly, vegan leather material means this bag is water and scratch-resistant, making that $22 price point seem like not enough (although we’re not complaining). Another luxe feature? The gold metal feet at the base of the bag, which helps protect it from messy surfaces.
Its polyester interior provides an extra layer of protection, and you’ll also find a small zip compartment to store important stuff, like credit cards or wallets. Like Holmes’ pick, the Lovevook Top Handle Tote Bag is large capacity, so it’s able to hold multiple daily necessities like laptops, umbrellas, books, sunglasses and more.

Days after viewers watched Kenya Moore exit the series due to an explicit photo scandal, Williams, 43, is sharing her thoughts on the messy situation.
“Each poster board that she showed — they could not show it on the show, which I’m so glad and thankful to Bravo for blurring it out and cutting out [the] majority of what despicable things Kenya said about Britt,” Williams claimed in a YouTube video posted Thursday, April 10. “I’m so glad they took it out.”
On the Sunday, April 6, episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Moore, 54, hosted the cast at the grand opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa business. During the event, the Bravo star unveiled explicit pictures of cast member Brittany Eady.
After the event, Bravo conducted an investigation and decided Moore could not film with the cast for the rest of the season.
“At this point, I wanted to love Kenya. I want to love Kenya,” Williams said. “I want to have a good relationship with Kenya. … I want her to meet me where we are. I just felt the whole cast felt like it was awful.”

To this day, Williams still has questions about the day in question such as, “What printing company printed this out?”
She also claimed that another costar may have played a part in the incident.
“One of these Housewives who is still on the show is the one who gave Kenya a big part of that nude information,” she alleged. “Who did all this research? Who did it besides the Housewife who gave you the footage? It was a lot.”
Williams remains hopeful that Moore and Eady, 37, can one day have a conversation. She also believes Eady is very “remorseful” about the controversial comments she made about guns.
“I don’t play them games!” Eady said in a previous episode after fighting with Moore. “I got whip, motherf***ing pistols, everything!”
At the end of the day, Williams said nobody can play the victim because they “both played a part.”
“I feel like there is a place where they can move on but that place has to be agreed upon by both of them,” she explained. “I feel like these two women can sit down and talk and say, ‘I hit you where your trauma was.’”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs on Bravo Sundays at 8 p.m. ET. Steam old episodes anytime via Peacock.
Luke Combs is a three-time Grammy Award nominee and six-time CMA winner, but around his house, you’d never know it.
The “Lovin’ on You” singer recently gave fans a peek inside his personal life with his wife, Nicole, and their two kids, Tex, 2, and Beau, 20 months. In an appearance on “The MeatEater Podcast,” Combs, 35, explained that he wants his kids to grow up in as normal a home as possible.
“We live in a 2,000-square-foot house. It’s two bedrooms,” he said on the episode released Monday, April 7. “Me and my wife have a room and the boys share a room. We’re always close together, we’re always tight in there.”
It’s not just that Combs lives in a fairly ordinary home — he expects his kids to learn responsibility, just like anyone else.
“The living room is the playroom. All the kids’ toys are in there,” he continued. “We let them destroy it. But every night, ‘Alright, we’re all cleaning up now.’ Mom and dad are cleaning up, but to the extent that a one-and-a-half-year-old [can], he’ll get a block and bring it over. He might only pick up two things but my two-and-a-half-year-old now, he can actually make a 5 percent dent in the cleanup. But he understands.”

Combs added that when one of his kids spills their milk, he hands them a paper towel, and even if they can only soak up a tiny fraction of it —“We go back behind him and actually clean it up” — he wants them to understand the responsibility.
It may seem strange for someone who plays stadium concerts on the weekends to think of himself as a “stay-at-home parent” during the week, but that’s how he sees it.
“I’m home four days a week, every week, full-time,” he said. “Sun up, sun down most days. Getting the kids up, changing diapers, doing baths, cooking dinners, cooking lunches, cooking breakfasts. That occupies a lot of my time but that’s what I want. I want my kids’ childhoods to feel as normal as they can given the very strange circumstances that it will ultimately become.”
Combs does what he can, but sometimes, the life of a country star just gets in the way. In June 2024, he opened up about missing Beau’s birth because he was touring in Australia.
“I’ll never forget the craziest day, probably, in my life — close to it,” he shared during an appearance on The Zane Lowe Show. “One of the best and one of the worst days in my life at the same time.”
“I probably woke up at around 8:00 a.m. or something like that, Australia time, and I had a text from my wife and it said, ‘I’m so sorry, I really tried to not have the baby while you’re gone,’” he added. “And God, dude, it sucked.”
Combs clarified that with the help of technology, he was able to see Beau from across the world, almost as soon as he was born.
Will Poulter is no longer just the “kid with the eyebrows,” as the Internet has dubbed him in the past.
While Poulter has been acting since 2007, We’re the Millers (2013) made him a household name. Was it his prominent eyebrows? Was it his perfect rap while covering TLC’s “Waterfalls”? A combination of both? It doesn’t really matter because Poulter has been nabbing tons of roles since then.
“People are really nice about the movie,” Poulter told People in March 2025. “I’m always shocked at just how many people have seen the film. It’s really nice that people watch it and seem to enjoy it. I was certainly very lucky to be in it.”
Since then, Poulter has been cast in horror films (2019’s Midsommar), emotional roles (2021’s Dopesick) and even a Marvel movie (2023’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3).

The actor took on Erik, a U.S. soldier, for the movie Warfare. The bond with his costars carried over into real-life with Poulter and several of the other actors getting matching “call on me” tattoos.
After sharing details about her husband’s medical issues earlier this week, Amy Duggar King is speaking out against false accusations.
On Wednesday, April 9, Amy told People that her husband, Dillon King, has been diagnosed with a severe diaphragmatic rupture.
According to Amy, 38, a severe diaphragmatic rupture is “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.”
The wife and mom of one said it was “news no one ever expects to hear.”
After sharing details of Dillon’s health struggles with People, Amy took to her Instagram Story to share the link with her followers, encouraging them to read the article if they would like to know more about what Dillon, 37, is dealing with.
As a result, Amy said she’s received several comments accusing her of making money from her husband’s health issues.
“Hey, everyone. OK, so I am just seeing a lot of comments based on what I was telling about my husband,” Amy began in a video. “People have got it so wrong.”
Amy continued by saying that as a result of the false accusation, she “just wanted to come on here and just share my heart for a second.”
“It is so sad to me how people think that I could stoop so low and to think that, like, if you click on the link to to read what Dillon’s diagnosis is, that I get paid. Oh, there’s money involved. There is absolutely zero money involved,” Amy clarified.
Amy defended her decision to share Dillon’s story with People because it’s a complex situation and a lot of people who read People will pray for Dillon.
“It’s just a long story, and I just said ‘see the link in bio’ so you know what it is,” Amy explained. “People are just so programmed or groomed to think that everything has to do with money and that there’s always someone looking for a handout. There is not anything like that involved.”
“It’s just a story that People magazine put out. And I am grateful for that, because there’s a lot of people who read that, that will that will pray for him, that will lift him up, that will encourage his heart, that will help us as a family, as far as just with encouraging words, that is all I’m asking from you guys,” she continued.
“Most of my followers, I think support me and they are genuine people, and that’s who I choose to be in every situation,” Amy noted before stressing that she “will always be honest” with her fans. “There’s just a lot going on, so I’m just asking for prayers and nothing else.”

In her conversation with People, Amy said that doctors discovered a 4-inch tear in Dillon’s diaphragm, adding that his right kidney, appendix, colon and small intestines have been “displaced.”
“Doctors have made it clear that this is not a quick fix,” Amy explained to People. “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.”
As a result, Dillon remains hospitalized.
A frustrated Amy concluded her statement by saying, “I just think I need a hot tea.”
When asked whether they had been in contact during the Wednesday, April 9, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Wood, 27, replied, “No and I like it that way. He has a whole life and I love that for him.”
Wood admitted that her relationship with Beckham — who tied the knot with Nicola Peltz in 2022 — was “longer than people think” and shared that she wants “nothing but the best for him.” She added, “He’s great and his family, yeah.”
The model remained tight-lipped on how long the pair were together, but narrowed down the timeframe.
“Was it, like, over a year?” host Andy Cohen asked, to which Wood replied, “Yeah.” After Cohen, 56, inquired whether the romance was more than two years, Wood responded, “No.”
Wood was linked to Beckham in 2018. Four years later, she went Instagram official with Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s son, Presley Gerber. E! News reported in 2022 that the pair split.
Noam Galai/BRAVO
After Wood joined season 9 of Summer House, sparks flew between her and costar Jesse Solomon. As the pair began pursuing a romance, Solomon, 31, raised eyebrows for his behavior while Wood was away from the Hamptons for the weekend. While Solomon was caught flirting with costarCiara Miller, he also got his toe sucked by a woman costar Imrul Hassan had over for a threesome.
When asked for her thoughts on the toe-sucking of it all, Wood shared that she thinks more may have happened behind closed doors.
“I don’t believe it was only a toe, now seeing [the episode],” she said, adding that she has noticed “red flags” after watching the show.
As the season aired, Solomon was recently photographed playfully holding hands with Paige DeSorbo while visiting West Wilson’s Complex office with fellow costars. (DeSorbo, 32, announced her split from Southern Charm’s Craig Conover last year.)
In one image, Solomon and DeSorbo stood next to each other, while in another photo, a zoomed-in shot emphasized their hand-holding. DeSorbo teased in the comments section, “This is how rumors start.”
“Thanks for having us West,” Solomon captioned the Instagram post. “Also, Paige and I are ready to take our relationship public. Love you my sweet petunia.”
In response to the post, Wood told Cohen on Wednesday, “I think Jesse should do whatever Jesse wants to do.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
During the newest installment of Investigation Discovery’s Hollywood Demons, which premieres on Monday, April 14, Taylor addressed burning questions about her personal life — including the allegedly suspicious circumstances surrounding Russell’s death.
“It is a really hard question when I have people ask why I stayed [with him]. It is so complicated and statistically most domestic violence victims return seven times before they find the courage to leave,” Taylor explained in the special. “I questioned myself a lot, asking, ‘Am I being abused?'”
Taylor admitted it “just felt cringey” thinking she was a victim of domestic abuse, “Because I would think to myself that I really do have it all.”
The reality TV star made her Bravo debut as a series regular on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills from 2010 to 2013 before making guest appearances throughout the years. During her time on RHOBH, viewers saw the ups and downs in Taylor’s marriage to Russell. In July 2011, Taylor filed for divorce, citing physical and verbal abuse. One month later, Russell died by suicide.
Taylor, who shared daughter Kennedy with Russell, later moved on with now-husband John Bluher. The couple tied the knot in 2014 and Taylor has since praised Bluher for changing her view on marriage.
“That’s why I believe I’m married now because I would’ve never trusted anyone again [after my first marriage],” she exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2022 while comparing her marriages. “After all the lies that were built in my previous relationship, having someone that just stood by me — even though we couldn’t stand each other for a while — was the reason that I trust him so much, and we became best friends.”
Taylor recalled how she was initially unsure about dating again after her split from Russell. “I just felt so betrayed,” she told Us. “I think if it wouldn’t have been someone that I trust so much because of everything I went through, I don’t think I would’ve ever been in a relationship again.”
Keep scrolling for the biggest bombshells about Taylor and Russell’s marriage:
Her Difficult Childhood
“My earliest childhood memory is surrounded by trauma,” Taylor revealed. “Because I had domestic violence in my house as a child from a very young age.”
Because of her past, Taylor changed her birth name of Shana Hughes to Shana Taylor as a reference to her stepfather. She then moved Taylor forward and added Ford as her last name, which took inspiration from her favorite designer Tom Ford.
Early Days With Russell

After meeting at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, Taylor and Russell had a “whirlwind” romance where they moved in together “within a couple of months.” They got “married that same year” but Taylor admitted she didn’t remember him asking her to tie the knot.
“I was pregnant when we got married and he was already a dad,” she said about Russell’s sons from a previous relationship. “Perhaps that gave me confidence in the kind of person I thought he was at his core. He stuck around with his kids when my dad didn’t. It felt right at the time but in retrospect there were all kinds of red flags.”
“I never saw him even flinch over money,” she noted. “I don’t remember cooking once because we went out every single night.”
Feeling Controlled

“I think a majority of people had no idea what was going on behind the scenes,” she explained about the “surveillance” that started with her finding a tape recorder. “My housekeeper would find recording devices all the time. It got to the point where I assumed I was being recorded all the time. I always assumed he was listening.”
Taylor referenced a specific example of abuse when she cooked pizza for his sons.
“He came in the house, grabbed me by the throat and put me up against the wall,” she recalled about how Russell “threatened to kill” her for giving his kids pizza with no vegetables.
Once the couple joined RHOBH, Taylor was concerned Russell’s abuse would become public.
“We had the cameras on and I was afraid he would explode in the car. I could see it and I could tell he would start to give me this look,” she explained. “And we were in a limo with cameras so I thought, ‘Let us get home before this happens.’ Because he could not control himself.”
Despite not being concerned about money, Russell allegedly started to use finances as a way of controlling her. “I had no access to cash and I had no access to bank accounts,” she mentioned. “So the financial control became a huge part in me not being able to leave.”
Friends Who Tried to Step In

Taylor and Russell’s friends attempted to help since some of them “were very aware of what was going on.” There was an instance when Taylor got offered help — only for Russell to catch wind of the comments.
“Russell was hiding around the side of the house and heard everything. He came flying in and he threw me in the pool before knocking all of the guy’s teeth out,” she claimed in the doc. “He jumped in the pool and was holding my head under the water. I thought he would drown me.”
Being Outed on National TV

“It was pretty well known that I had marital problems but I wasn’t ready for my abuse to be outed on television,” Taylor shared about the moment Camille Grammer revealed on screen that she was being abused. “I remember looking at the producer in just a blank stare thinking, ‘It is out,’ and I couldn’t put it back. Camille had outed the fact that I was abused. I was saying, ‘You have no idea what you have done to me. He has threatened to kill me before.'”
“He raised up, leaned over and punched me. He fractured my orbital floor,” she shared as a photo of her injury was shown. Taylor lied to the doctor that she got kicked in the face by her daughter but the medical professional doubted her version of events. “I knew the doctor didn’t believe that I was saying. Of course I couldn’t say anything.”
Taylor went through “reconstructive surgery” and subsequently filed for divorce.
Russell’s Shocking Death
Taylor and a friend found Russell dead after he didn’t show up for a divorce meeting.
“I ran into the street outside the house when all of a sudden I realized my daughter was in the car,” she recalled. “She asked, ‘Did my dad do something stupid?’
The last part of the Hollywood Demons special featured Dr. Drew asking Taylor about the timeline of events leading to her divorce and Russell’s death.
“We were filming toward the end of the season. I had to not film because I had the eye surgery and after we filmed the finale. Everyone was very aware of what happened,” she said before explaining why she agreed to join a reality show while in an abusive relationship. “Maybe in a way I felt if the cameras were there, I would get the good version of him.”
She added: “I wish I would have been brave enough to leave earlier for her. And there’s shame for not being stronger.”
While discussing Russell’s death, Dr. Drew and Taylor questioned the circumstances around his passing. Days after Russell died, an associate of his named Alan Schram died by suicide. They were both part of an elite investor group so Dr. Drew and Taylor voiced theories of foul play, which the authorities never substantiated in their investigations.
A trial lawyer also spoke out about how he “effectively served” Russell for filing bad faith bankruptcy and misappropriating investor money in a lawsuit and within two days Russell died. Taylor offered more insight into the financial fallout, adding, “We had an offshore protection trust that he said had 12 million. They were all empty. There ended up being 30 plus bank accounts.”

Prince William is an unabashed Aston Villa fan, but you won’t see him engaging in any hooligan behavior in the stands — especially when Prince George is with him.
The Prince of Wales, 42, took in his soccer team’s match against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, April 9, with his 11-year-old son. Beforehand, he spoke with TNT Sports about his plans that evening.
“Well, I’ve got my son here as well, so I’m on best behavior,” he joked.
It was the first time Aston Villa reached the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals in 43 years, and he said he was focused on making memories with George rather than any exuberant celebrations.
“But I thought, it’s been 43 years since anything like this has happened in my generation as a Villa fan, and I want George to experience a night out away from home in a big European competition,” he said. “I hope it’s not 43 years until the next time it happens, but I think those memories are really important to create and to bring him along tonight is a big deal for me.”

Though Aston Villa lost, 3-1, father and son both seemed to enjoy the match. They were both seen at Parc des Places Stadium celebrating their side’s lone goal, courtesy of midfielder Morgan Rogers. In one photo, William had his arms wrapped around George in a moment of joy.
In addition to George, William shares Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, with Princess Kate Middleton. Charlotte and Louis didn’t accompany their dad to the game, but he was confident they were following along.
“I’ve left the other two at home,” he added. “They’re probably watching tonight.”
Of the three kids, George appears to be the biggest soccer fan. George’s uncle Mike Tindall revealed in October 2024 that his nephew is just as avid an Aston Villa supporter as his dad.
“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.”

George and his siblings may not have had much of a choice but to follow their dad’s favorite team. As William explained to The Sun in March, he is a superstitious sports fan and his kids are all part of his good luck ritual.
“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,” he said. “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.”
Rebecca Gayheart gave an update on her relationship with Eric Dane after she requested to dismiss their divorce.
“We are best of friends. We are really close. We are great coparents,” Gayheart, 53, told E! News on Wednesday, April 9. “We really figured out the formula to staying a family and I think our kids are benefiting greatly from it and we are as well.”
Gayheart and Dane, 52, share two daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13. The actress explained that despite their ups and downs, she and the Grey’s Anatomy alum have achieved a lot together since tying the knot in 2004.
“I think it’s important to not look at a relationship that ends as a failure. It’s just a season. It wasn’t a failure. It was a huge success,” she said. “We were married for, I mean, we are still married, but together for 15 years and we had two beautiful kids so I think that’s a successful relationship, and that’s how we look at it.”
Gayheart did not elaborate on whether or not she and Dane have rekindled their romance. Dane also has not addressed the pair’s current relationship status.
Us Weekly confirmed last month that Gayheart filed paperwork requesting to dismiss her divorce from Dane. Gayheart initially filed for divorce back in 2018 after 14 years of marriage. At the time, she cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. Gayheart also asked for spousal support and joint legal and physical custody of their children.
Over the past seven years since Gayheart’s filing, neither she nor Dane reached a divorce settlement. Instead, they’ve focused on being amicable coparents for their kids.

“We’re doing our best. It isn’t easy,” Gayheart told Us in October 2018. “But we are trying and we are committed … There are so many things [that make it challenging]. I think that as a female you need to be able to always take care of yourself and never depend on a man. I’m going back to work and I think it’s partly because I want my daughters to see me work. I took some time off to have my kids.”
Two years later, Dane shared that he had regrets about how his relationship with Gayheart ended.
“We’ve all made mistakes. My one regret is that I got the person I love most wrapped up in all that: Rebecca,” he told People in 2020.
Since then, Gayheart and Dane have fueled reconciliation rumors as the pair have taken multiple family vacations with their daughters.
“This is us, family vacay 2022 #familia #travel #goodtimes #moretocome #eurodanes,” Gayheart wrote via Instagram in August 2022. “A pit stop in Paris! .”
The following year, the twosome took a trip to Mexico with their daughters and a group of friends. While out and about, Dane and Gayheart were photographed holding hands after spending time on a boat excursion.

Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp’s casual walk got a little heated after a mystery woman appeared to confront the Bravo stars.
In a video obtained by TMZ, Richards, 56, Mellencamp, 43, and a group of friends were strolling through an Encino, California, neighborhood on Wednesday, April 9, when an unidentified individual seemingly got angry with the group.
At one point, the mystery woman — who was walking multiple dogs — took off her scarf and began approaching Richards.
While Mellencamp remained calm and seemingly tried to diffuse the situation, Richards had her cell phone out and appeared to be recording the incident in case it went south.
At one point, a local security guard arrived to check in on what was happening. The unidentified woman eventually crossed the street with her dogs in tow.
Us Weekly has reached out to Richards and Mellencamp’s reps for comment.

While the reality stars haven’t publicly addressed the incident, Mellencamp casually posted a video of the walk — presumably before the confrontation took place.
“A little walk today,” she said via her Instagram Story before turning the camera onto Richards and accountability coach Jennifer Turner Leipart. “A little doozy of an outfit but these two looking cute in their weighted vests. I’m going to try and find mine soon.”
Regardless of what happened earlier in the day, Richards and Mellencamp were able to celebrate Leipart’s birthday later in the evening.
As seen on social media, the trio received matching tattoos from Wesley Austin while celebrating with other close friends including The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costars Erika Jayne and Faye Resnick.
“Cozy night in wearing our pajamas ,” Richards wrote via Instagram on April 9. “Perfect way to celebrate @jennleipart who’s an amazing friend to all And of course we had to include the talented @wyldwess to our girls only night We love our new tattoos! A perfect match! Yolo “
Mellencamp previously praised Leipart for being one of her friends who “pretty much nursed me back to life” after her brain tumor surgery.
“She’s amazing. We call her Jen Jens,” Mellencamp said on the April 9 episode of iHeartRadio’s “Diamonds in the Rough” podcast. “She’s great.”
Just days ago, Mellencamp completed radiation treatment for brain cancer. She had her final course of treatment on April 3, ringing the ceremonial bell at the end.
“Ringing the bell can signify a major phase of treatment — today was my last day of radiation,” she wrote over a video posted via Instagram. “5 more rounds of immunotherapy to go. Love you all for the kind messages.”
