Hiking Influencer's Family Seeks Answers In Her Death: 'A Mystery to Us'

29 May 2025 at 08:45

The family of hiking influencer Hannah Moody is seeking answers after her body was found hundreds of yards from a popular Arizona hiking trail.

“It’s like a mystery to us right now,” Hannah’s mother, Terri Moody, told Arizona’s Family on Wednesday, May 28. “We’re trying to piece it all together.”

Hannah’s body was found near the Gateway Trailhead of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale on Thursday, May 22. She was 31 years old. 

“We’re all assuming it was heat-related,” Terri said. “But that’s inconclusive. There were no signs of foul play.”

She added, “We don’t know of any conditions that she had or anything like that that would have caused anything.”

It was 102 degrees when Hannah set off on a solo hike on May 21. 

She was reported missing by friends at 7:50 p.m. after she failed to show up to a group gathering.

In addition to amassing nearly 50,000 followers on Instagram as a hiking influencer, Terri said her daughter was an avid bodybuilder and fitness instructor. Despite that, Terri said her daughter’s tragic story should be a cautionary tale. 

“I feel like the best thing people can do is bring a friend,” Terri said of going on hikes. “I know that’s hard because people like to be in their solitude. But that would be my advice.”

In the wake of her daughter’s death, Terri admitted she’s still struggling to adjust to her new reality. 

“I see something and I think, ‘Oh, I should show Hannah that,’” Terri said. “We went out to eat last night and the restaurant we went to was really cute and I said, ‘Oh, Hannah would love this. I’ll have to see if she’s ever gone here.’”

The Scottsdale Police Department confirmed Hannah’s body had been found in a press release on May 22.

“The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Air Unit located Hannah’s body around 12:05 p.m., about 600 yards off-trail,” the release said “Scottsdale detectives and crime scene personnel will now conduct a thorough investigation to piece together what happened to Hannah and how she died. Our investigation will be in cooperation with the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner, which will ultimately determine the cause of death.”

The release concluded, “The investigation is in its early stages, but there are no obvious signs of foul play or trauma at this point.”

Days before she died, Hannah posted a video via Instagram explaining she had been given the day shift at her restaurant job, which meant she’d be hiking at night. 

“I just realized God is literally blessing me with the day shift because he knows how much I freaking love the sunset and I love being able to go for sunset hikes,” Moody said in the May 18 video. “I haven’t really been able to do that and it’s just so sweet and so thoughtful.”

Caila Quinn Celebrates Anniversary With Husband After Denying Cheating Rumors

29 May 2025 at 08:32

Bachelor Nation’s Caila Quinn is celebrating a milestone moment with her husband, Nick Burrello.

“4 years ago today. Time flies,” Quinn, 33, captioned an Instagram Story post on Thursday, May 29, alongside an image of her and Burrello gazing into each other’s eyes on their wedding day.

In a separate Story, Quinn shared a photo from the same day of the couple holding hands. “Happy anniversary,” she wrote.

The couple made headlines in April when a creator detailed a series of accusations against Burello, claiming he cheated on Quinn with “a couple different people.”

“There are posts and threads deep in the world of Bachelor Reddit that talk about Caila Quinn’s husband cheating on her,” the creator said. “The post was made by somebody that he was seeing. In a sense they were texting with each other. It was a relationship over text. He met this person on Grindr and he is dating a trans woman.”

In the upload, the user claimed that the alleged cheating took place while Burrello was on “business trips.”

“In the text threads, Nick also admits that this is not the first time he’s cheated on Caila,” the creator alleged. “It’s very sad to report this but I think he needs to be called out. It’s already public information so please don’t come after me for this. It’s really unfortunate for her kids that are involved in this but, you know, I don’t think he cared or even thought about that and the consequences of that.”

Bachelor's Caila Quinn Blasts Husband Nick Burrello Cheating Rumors

Quinn went on to deny the rumors in the comments section of the TIkTok. “WTF is this…” she wrote, alongside a laughing emoji. “This isn’t true. And my husband doesn’t go on business trips. This is a joke. No one believe these rumors. This is FALSE.” (The video has since been taken down.)

Quinn and Burrello tied the knot in 2021 and have since welcomed daughter Teddi and son Christian in 2023 and 2024, respectively. When pregnant with their first daughter, Quinn gushed over how “caring” Burrello had been.

“He has been unbelievably thoughtful — with back massages and an ice-cold Yeti full of water before bed,” she exclusively told Us Weekly. “Just the other day he had to shower in a slippery tub and he asked me if I wanted him to hold my hand as I showered so I wouldn’t slip and fall too. And it just reminds me that I am so lucky to have him as a partner.”

Donna D'Errico, 57, Is Ageless in Her ‘Old’ 1996 ‘Baywatch’ Swimsuit

29 May 2025 at 08:15

Donna D’Errico looks just as good in her Baywatch swimsuit as she did in 1996.

D’Errico, 57, took to Instagram on Tuesday, May 27, to show off her figure in her original Baywatch costume (a.k.a. a sexy red swimsuit). The actress nailed the iconic look, which, lest you forget, features a cherry red body, a scoop neck, and extremely high-cut bottoms finished with a cheeky back. Her one-piece also had Baywatch’s signature embroidery on her waist.

As she posed for the camera and proved she can rock the look at any age, D’Errico donned a full beat. Her makeup included dewy skin, filled-in eyebrows and flirty eyeshadow complete with brown pigment blended to her crease, black eyeliner and long lashes. She completed her glam with glossy pink lips and bronzed cheeks.

D’Errico wore her brunette strands parted down the middle and styled in big, bouncy curls.

“Guess who found her old swimsuit…” D’Errico captioned the post. Fans praised the OnlyFans model’s figure in the comments section.

“Still fits like a glove and looks great,” one wrote, while a second follower added, “As beautiful now as back then.” A third gushed, “You still look gorgeous wearing it.”

D’Errico starred as Donna Marco on Baywatch from 1996 to 1998, during seasons 7 and 8. On the show, she was among the ranks of Los Angeles County Baywatch lifeguards who ran (in slow motion, no less!) across the beach with flowing platinum blonde hair and bangs blowing in the ocean breeze.

This isn’t the first time D’Errico has stunned in a bikini since leaving the hit series, which came to an end in 2001 after an 11-season run. In 2022, she clapped back at haters after receiving comments that she was “too old” to wear a bikini.

“Quite a few women complained about the 4th of July video I posted in a red white & blue bikini because they thought I was ‘classier than that’ and ‘too old to wear a bikini’ and, my favorite, ‘desperate,’” she captioned a pic of herself slaying in a pastel pink triangle top and low-waisted string bottoms.

“Let me tell you something that might surprise you,” D’Errico continued. “I can actually wear and do literally whatever I want. On that note, here is me in a bikini squatting on a coffee table ❤.”

Her expansive swimsuit collection also features glittery gold sets, red two pieces and more that prove once a Baywatch babe, always a Baywatch babe.

'S.W.A.T.' Spinoff Could Now Feature Possible Cast Returns — Besides Shemar Moore — Amid Backlash

29 May 2025 at 08:11

Despite only announcing Shemar Moore as a returning cast member, it turns out the S.W.A.T spinoff could feature more surprise appearances from fan-favorite characters.

Sony Pictures TV President Katherine Pope weighed in on the possibility earlier this month after S.W.A.T Exiles was announced, telling Variety, “There is a clear world that we’re exploring here. We’re still putting it all together, but for sure, I think you can expect some of your favorites to be a part of it in some way.”

Pope noted that the shows now exist in their own “universe” while Exiles is “a bit of a take on the culture generation clash of Gen X versus Gen Z.”

“Where Hondo is all about duty, hierarchy and chain of command, the Gen Zers are a little more like, ‘I might need to take a mental health day. I want to talk about it. I want to understand it,'” Pope teased about the upcoming series. “It’s kind of our take on Top Gun Maverick.”

Shemar Moore's Shocking 'S.W.A.T' Spinoff Drama Explained Amid Cast Backlash

Pope continued: “How do we build bridges around not just generational divides, but all forms of divide? There’s a lot of division going on in our world. If we just took some time to listen and to try and be part of a team, and what that really means, it would probably be better for all of us.”

S.W.A.T. premiered in 2017 and aired for six seasons before CBS planned to end its run with season 7. The network ultimately reversed that decision and S.W.A.T. returned for two more seasons, but CBS officially canceled the series while season 8 was airing in March 2025.

Earlier this month, S.W.A.T.‘s series finale aired and just two days later Sony Pictures Television announced a spinoff starring Moore, 55, and a new cast. The decision received backlash since Jay Harrington, David Lim, Patrick St. Esprit, Anna Enger Ritch, Annie Ilonzeh and Niko Pepaj also took part in efforts to revive the series.

Moore stood by the decision, saying in an Instagram video, “Nobody likes change. I understand that. I get it 100 percent. But without change, you can’t grow. You can’t win without taking your lumps. It ain’t easy making it in the game of Hollywood. It ain’t. TV shows don’t last eight years anymore. The game has changed. But S.W.A.T. Exiles, baby! S.W.A.T. Exiles. Bigger, bolder. S.W.A.T. on steroids.”

Which 'S.W.A.T.' Stars Are — And Aren't — Returning for Surprise Spinoff?

He continued: “I’m not saying I’m Tom Brady, but I’m the Tom Brady of S.W.A.T. That’s not arrogant. That’s not ego. It’s a fact. I’m the quarterback. I’m Shemar Moore a.k.a Hondo. But I had a squad. A strong squad. A family. A team. And I would be remiss If I didn’t say out loud to the world and to them — because I know they’re watching this — I love you. I respect you. I appreciate you.”

Lim, 41, who has been with the show since season 1, was the first cast member to officially break his silence on the drama.

“I’d be lying if I said the rollout of the new spinoff didn’t sting. It was tough to see it announced just two days after our finale — with no mention of the cast who helped build S.W.A.T. from day one,” he wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, May 28. “After eight incredible seasons, it felt like we were brushed aside when there could’ve been a moment of reflection and recognition — for the people who built this show, and for the impact it had on so many.”

Chrishell Stause and G Flip’s Relationship Timeline

29 May 2025 at 08:05

Chrishell Stause’s romance with G Flip is one even the Selling Sunset star didn’t see coming.

Stause started seeing G Flip after her split from Jason Oppenheim in late 2021. Their whirlwind romance was documented on season 5 of the Netflix show, but the twosome split when the Oppenheim Group boss decided he didn’t want kids.

Prior to her romance with Oppenheim, Stause was briefly engaged to Matthew Morrison and married to Justin Hartley. The This Is Us star filed for divorce in November 2019, with their messy split playing out on season 3 of Selling Sunset — including Stause’s claims that he informed her their marriage was over via text message.

As she moved on with G Flip, Stause made it clear she wants a family.

“I, you know, had this serious relationship [with Jason] and obviously, I am hoping to have a family but I’ve also taken some of the pressure off myself as far as what that looks like,” she said on the season 5 reunion in May 2022. “I don’t necessarily have to have the child myself — [I’m] open to adoption, things like that. And so I’m just kind of enjoying right now and having a lot of fun and dating.”

Eagle-eyed fans noticed Stause started “liking” G Flip’s Instagram posts. The twosome met when she filmed their music video.
“It started because I was just going to be in their video. And it’s about this chaotic love story. I come from soaps, I love acting,” Stause said on the reunion. “And with the job that we have, I don’t always get to do it. At first of course I was like, ‘Yes, let’s do that.'”

The Dancing With the Stars champ praised G Flip’s Los Angeles concerts.
“I’m sad it’s over,” she commented on a March 4 post. “You KILLED IT.”

“Best show. Best song. Best collab,” Stause commented on a video of G Flip singing “Gay 4 Me.”

"I recently have been spending a lot of time with someone that's very important to me. Their name is G Flip. They're nonbinary, so they go by they/them," Stause announced on the reunion.
After watching his ex gush about her new partner, Oppenheim noted, “They seem like a badass, for one. And two, the smile that's been on your face the last couple [of] minutes makes me very happy. So I'm proud of you."

One day after the Selling Sunset reunion started streaming, confirming their romance, G Flip shared a photo via Instagram of Chrishell seemingly tattooing their thigh. The ink read "get me outta here" in shaky script. "Found my new calling. Might open up a new shop🤣💀😎😜," the real estate agent joked in the comments section.

“In this current situation with G … yes, I wish we were in the same stage in our life and wanted the same things, but that doesn’t diminish the deep connection that we have made,” Stause said in an Instagram video, while addressing some fan concern over the new romance. “For me, it is about the person. It is about their heart. I am attracted to masculine energy and I don’t really care about what the physical form is.”
The former soap opera star added: “With G, they identify as nonbinary. They really feel like they are a mix. They identify on both sides of male and female. I personally find [it] such a beautiful mix and it’s probably why we did connect on such a deep level so quick.”
She concluded: “I’m the same person that you’ve been following this whole time. I hope if this is all confusing to you, stick around and keep an open mind. If you don’t, I understand that too. But I’m happy and I hope that you all are as well. Sending lots of love.”

“We met last year at Halloween,” G Flip said during an appearance on the “PEOPLE Every Day” podcast, noting their future desires to have children. “We were both with our ex-partners ... And then, we obviously separated from our partners, and we just started talking and stuff. We just found a lot of similarities, even though people would think we are from like different corners of the world. We find ourselves so similar sometimes.”

The couple weren't hiding their love at the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards, packing on the PDA from their seats in the audience. As she won the trophy for best reality star, the Netflix personality gushed, "Just really quick, I knew about this nomination before I had said anything about my sexuality. I'm not trying to get really deep with you guys, but the fact that this was voted on after means so much to me because I wasn't sure how that was gonna go. Thank you so much, guys. I appreciate it."

“Best time,” the real estate agent gushed via Instagram Story after the pair saw Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway.

Stause described her relationship with G Flip to Vogue as “unlocked,” meaning the duo don’t have many restrictions. "It's when they have the key to your heart, but the walls are down and there are no rules or regulations, just love and support," she explained. "Plus, it ties into real estate, which is actually quite cute!" The TV personality noted that “just being around G [is] such a mood-lifting experience; if you ever had the pleasure of being in the same room with them, you would quickly see what I mean. I love feeling that endless support of just wanting the other person to be fully who they are."

After G Flip debuted a new song about being non-binary via Instagram, Stause showed support for the musician, writing, “So so so so beautiful♥️ a voice to change the world,” in the comment section.

G Flip admitted their hesitation to appear with their new love on reality TV, considering Stause's continued tenure on Selling Sunset.
"I never thought of my life as being on a reality show. I think I want to stick to the music,” the Australian native told Entertainment Tonight. “I don't want people to know me as a reality star rather than, like, the musician, because my whole life I've been playing music. Since I was nine years old, that's always been my dream. I always just want to be in studios or onstage playing drums and stuff. So I don't think it's really for me."

G Flip asked their followers for tattoo artist recommendations in the L.A. area — and many pointed to Stause after she inked the musician's arm. "Thank you everyone recommending @Chrishell.Stause," G Flip wrote via their Instagram Story. "Her books are currently closed and she is focusing on being hecktikly cute & sexiii."

Stause celebrated her partner's 28th birthday with a sweet tribute on social media. "It is already Sept 22nd right now in Australia so HAPPY BIRTHDAY G!!!!🥰🥳," the Netflix star wrote via Instagram.
She continued: "Imagine you took all of the things you love about an emotionally intelligent secure man, and all the things you love about a strong loving caring woman, and blended them together to make one magical human. Oh and it would be cool if they could also be a sexy musical genius that is hilarious and maybe give them a hot Australian accent too because why not.🤯" 
The Kentucky native fushed that the "universe had EXTRA TIME" on the day the Australia native was born, noting that there were "a million things" she loved about her partner. "[Y]our kind genuine heart is my absolute favorite," Stause added. "I feel extremely lucky to be able to celebrate you constantly but especially today. Happy Birthday my love🥳Countdown is on for us to be reunited in the same time zone❤️‍🔥."

“Me and my wonderful partner, we make our schedules work and sometimes she comes on the road with me on tour or she'll come to Australia,” G Flip exclusively told Us about how the couple manages a long-distance relationship. “But we always make it work and definitely [have] a lot of phone calls and FaceTimes [whenever we're apart].”

Stause recalled coming to terms with her sexuality after sharing her first kiss with G Flip.
"I had no issue [kissing my friends] like that, but in my head I [didn't think I] could have a meaningful relationship with somebody [who wasn't a man]," she told Vogue Australia during a joint interview with her partner. "[It] opened my brain up to the fact that I'm attracted to energy, not whatever physical thing that people have in their head. I don't have a type."

Stause said it’s been “a bumpy road” to start a family with G.
“We’ve kept the details a little under wraps, just because I don’t think it helps anybody to go into all the details,” she told Us exclusively. “But I’ll just say to anyone that understands this [adoption] process — there are just a lot of different roadblocks, and so we do feel like we’re on the upswing.”

Stause and G Flip spoke candidly about their relationship in an Us Weekly cover story to kick off Pride month.
“I think we were definitely meant to be together,” G Flip gushed. “As soon as I met Chrishell, it was the best relationship I’ve ever had. We’ve had a pretty good run. We’ve overcome any little thing that has come our way, we’ve always been able to work through it.”

Emilie Kiser Files Lawsuit to Block Release of Records About Son’s Death

29 May 2025 at 08:01

Emilie Kiser filed a lawsuit in Arizona to block the release of records about 3-year-old son Trigg’s death.

“Emilie is going through a parent’s worst nightmare right now. She lost her young son, her 3-year-old Trigg Chapman Kiser (‘Trigg’), on May 18, 2025, following a heartbreaking accidental drowning at the family’s home on May 12, 2025,” the lawsuit filed on Tuesday, May 27, and published by Arizona Republic, read. “Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son, two-month-old Theodore. But every day is a battle.”

The filing noted that there have been more than 100 public record requests filed with both the City of Chandler and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office.

“The records requested presumably reveal graphic, distressing, and intimate details of Trigg’s death that have no bearing on government accountability,” the lawsuit read. “To allow disclosure in these circumstances would be to turn Arizona’s Public Records Law into a weapon of emotional harm, rather than a tool of government transparency.”

What to Know About Investigation Into Death of Influencer Emilie Kiser's Son

The filing noted that the influencer “respectfully urges this Court to prevent the profound invasion of privacy that would result from the public disclosure of these sensitive materials. She prays that the Court enter an order permanently enjoining Defendants from granting public access to any investigative or post-mortem records related to the tragic death of her son, Trigg.”

The lawsuit asked that if the court allows for public access, Kiser would request that the court “first conduct an in-camera review of all records and, until such review is complete, temporarily enjoin Defendants from releasing any portion of the records.”

The filing noted that neither Kiser not her counsel have reviewed the investigative or post-mortem records including the “police report, supplemental reports, security camera, footage of the accidental drowning, body-worn camera footage, scene photos, 9-1-1, recording/transcript, autopsy report, autopsy photos, and death certificate, because these records have not been made available to them.” The lawsuit claimed that Kiser does not “wish to ever view them.”

“Accordingly, Emilie’s counsel cannot know the full extent or nature of the sensitive, graphic, or private content they may contain,” the statement read. “Upon information and belief, the records, particularly the security camera footage of the accidental drowning, are exceptionally raw and graphic.”

TikToker Emilie Kiser’s Son Dies After Found Unconscious in Pool

The Chandler Police Department in Arizona confirmed to Us Weekly on May 18 that Trigg died at age 3. Days earlier, Trigg had been pulled unconscious from the family’s backyard pool.

“The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident remain ongoing. This is still an open investigation,” the department said in a statement to Us. “Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we will not be releasing additional details until the investigation is closed.”

Emilie, who has more than 1 million followers on Instagram and 3 million on TikTok, welcomed son Trigg in July 2021 with husband Brady Kiser. The couple, who tied the knot in 2020, added son Teddy to their family in March.

Christian Oliver's Girlfriend Taylor Reynolds Talks ‘Prophetic’ Last Film

29 May 2025 at 08:00

Taylor Reynolds emotionally described the first time she met actor Christian Oliver — known for performances in The Good German and Speed Racer — as “magnetic.”

“He had the biggest smile on his face when he first saw me,” Reynolds gushed to Us Weekly of the meeting in early 2021. “In that moment, time stood still. I felt like I had come ‘home.’ Our connection was so magnetic and familiar, as if I’d known him forever. There was an instant comfort between us, like, ‘Oh, there you are.’ We just fit together so naturally.”

It’s that same magical bond that’s captured on screen in their first (and final) project together — a short film titled Eternal Blue that they embarked on in London during the summer of 2023, just months before Oliver’s tragic passing. On January 4, 2024, The Good German star was aboard a plane with his two young daughters from a previous relationship when it crashed into the sea in the Grenadines. He was 51.

In her first interview — and first look at the film — since Oliver’s death, Reynolds spoke exclusively to Us about their special collaboration for Field of Gems Jewelry’s new Lucent Fields Collection.

The film is a moment frozen in time that Reynolds never knew would be as “prophetic” to their love story as it is today. It depicts a couple profoundly in love yet physically separated by distance — and they reunite in the most unexpected way. For Reynolds, it’s more than just a cherished memory — it’s a gift she’ll hold onto forever, she said.

“Watching it now feels almost prophetic — it’s a timeless treasure, a time capsule of our love, suspended in time for eternity,” Reynolds said of their “unbreakable” love. “It not only captures our story but also foreshadows the reunion I believe is waiting for us.

“What gives me hope is it’s showing us in separation and then at the end we’re reunited,” she added. “It really does parallel the pain of physical separation and then how we come back together. And that is a lifeline for me because that’s what I believe will eventually happen for us when it’s my time. It’s just this timeless kiss that he can continue.”

In her interview with Us, Reynolds opens up about her journey in the last year and a half, why she wants to share her story, how she’s healing from such tremendous loss, what has given her purpose, and the legacy Oliver leaves behind.

How have you been coping in the months after Christian and his daughters’ tragic passings?

At first, I felt completely shattered, lost and untethered. Losing Christian was unfathomable and losing the girls on top of that felt impossible to navigate. My mantra became “One minute at a time, one day at a time” — and it still is. The present moment is all we have, and every day truly is a gift. Christian was, and still is, my lifeline. Knowing he’s with me, cheering me on, has been my strength and my survival. Our love is unbreakable, and it continues to give me purpose. I feel more than ever the need to share our story — to inspire others facing their own loss, with the message that true love never dies.

This short film, Eternal Blue, is the first time you worked together on screen. How special is it to you?

Working on this project together was a dream come true. As a couple in love, traveling abroad and capturing our joy on film felt both natural and exhilarating. It was our first professional collaboration, and we hoped it would be the start of many more projects together. Filming was effortless, thanks to our shared creative connection that made everything flow so beautifully.

Beyond the work, it was deeply intimate and romantic. London became our “city of love,” and every moment felt magical. Running around the city hand-in-hand like teenagers in love made it even more special since it was our first time abroad, just the two of us. This project wasn’t just about acting — it was a celebration of our love, blending our personal and professional worlds in a way that deepened our bond even more. Christian and I were both passionate about creating something meaningful. The entire experience reaffirmed our belief that we could create something beautiful together. It gave us a profound sense of, “We can do this TOO — together. We can have it all, together.”

The film seems incredibly poignant to your story with Christian. What does it mean to you now?

Watching it now feels almost prophetic — it’s a timeless treasure, a time capsule of our love, suspended in time for eternity. It not only captures our story but also foreshadows the reunion I believe is waiting for us. It mirrors what I’m experiencing now — the heartache of being physically apart, but with the unwavering belief that we will be reunited. It’s something I’ll hold onto forever, a lifeline that connects me to him, symbolizing hope of the reunion to come, when it’s my time.

When I watch it, I feel like Christian is reaching through time and space to remind me that our love is still alive. That final kiss in the film feels like a prophetic message from him from the other side, like a “quantum” kiss, foreshadowing what will eventually happen. This film is more than just a project — it’s a sacred keepsake that captures our love and journey together, a precious gift that I will treasure forever.

What gives me hope is it’s showing us in separation and then at the end we’re reunited. It really does parallel the pain of physical separation and then how we come back together. And that is a lifeline for me because that’s what I believe will eventually happen for us when it’s my time. It’s just this timeless kiss that he can continue.

Eternal Blue is one of Christian’s last projects. How is the film a living memory for you?

This film is deeply personal — it captures the essence of what we share, a profound love. Watching it now feels like holding onto a tangible living memory of our love. It’s a treasure that I cherish, reminding me of our eternal bond. In many ways, it feels prophetic, almost otherworldly, as though Christian is reaching through time and space to comfort me now. I see our real-life emotions mirrored in the story, reflecting our journey and bond in ways that feel surreal now.

The film is more than just a story — it’s a reflection of what truly exists between us. It feels like a lifeline for me, a moment of time captured forever while we were physically together. It’s comforting to have something so tangible to feel close to him now, since he’s no longer here physically.

The irony is striking — just as the characters in the story experience longing and separation, I now feel that same ache of physical separation from the person I love. What gives me the most comfort is the film’s ending — as it’s a story of reunion. It fills me with hope, reminding me that our separation is only temporary, and that one day we will be reunited. The film encapsulates the longing, but also ensures the promise of togetherness in the end, giving me even more strength to hold on to until that day comes.

Tell Us about your love story together.

The first time I saw Christian, he opened his garage door, and light poured out. He had the biggest smile on his face when he first saw me. In that moment, time stood still. I felt like I had come “home.” Our connection was so magnetic and familiar, as if I’d known him forever. There was an instant comfort between us, like, “Oh, there you are.” We just fit together so naturally.

Our first date was filled with laughter. Christian was running around the kitchen, trying to make the perfect dinner. It was so endearing, and I was so impressed by how much he wanted to make it special for me. He even got out his grandparents silver! When we finally sat down by candlelight, he exhaled, and we just melted into the moment — it was magic.

His sense of humor and charm completely won me over right away, and I laughed so much that night. There was an innocence to us, a divine timing. Neither of us had been with anyone since our marriages, so everything felt so sacred and pure. After our first date, we both knew there was no turning back. Finding each other felt like winning the lottery — not just for love, but for family and a second chance at everything. Our love was deeply healing, transformative and unconditional from day one. It really took us both by surprise, we almost couldn’t believe our luck, but soon we both came to know that true love is real.

What would Christian think of the film if he was here today?

Christian was super excited about Eternal Blue. It was our first film together! Right before Christmas time, he sent me the poster with a text that read, “Proud of you!!! I’m lucky to be your partner in crime.” He was thrilled about what we were creating and after finishing his last feature film — our second project together — he was already looking ahead. He even playfully suggested, “Maybe our next film should be together in Paris?”

Throughout filming in London, he was my biggest cheerleader, always encouraging me and believing in us. On set, Christian was my grounding force. Especially in the cold and rainy weather, while I was in a silk tank top and skirt, freezing! He was my hero, running to me in between takes to wrap me in a blanket. I remember him saying at one point, “Take a breath,” as we touched foreheads, calming my shivers, giving me strength, and helping me power through the day. I could not have gotten through it without him. I like to believe that, even now, he can see the significance of this project through my eyes.

If he were here today, he’d probably smile big and say, “Let’s do it again baby! What’s next?” For Christian, this wasn’t just work, it was a reflection of our love and what we could create together. It was about sharing our passion for storytelling and creating something meaningful as partners. There’s nothing more fulfilling than doing that with the one you love.

How did you honor him and his daughters on the one-year anniversary of their passing on January 4?

1 Year After Christian Olivers Plane Crash, Girlfriend Taylor Reynolds Reflects on Prophetic Final Film
Christian Oliver and Taylor Reynolds Rochelle Brodin

The one-year anniversary is the day before our relationship anniversary, of the day we first met, so it was a mix of grief and gratitude. I felt overwhelmed by the loss, but at the same time filled with immense love as I celebrated our journey together. What keeps me going is knowing that Christian and the girls are still with us in spirit.

To honor the one-year mark, I went to one of our favorite places, the beach, and watched the most breathtaking sunset — it felt like it was made just for Christian and the girls. Later, I went to his sailboat, lit three candles for them, and sat in the stillness under the moonlight. Being on the water always connects me in a special way — as it was our happy place, so it always brings me peace and comfort.

The following day on January 5 would have also been your four-year anniversary with Christian.

January 5 is our anniversary, so last year I was catatonic. I couldn’t do anything. I was shattered into dust, and just trying to get through one breath at a time. This year, however, after honoring the one-year mark on Christian’s sailboat on January 4, I ushered in our anniversary that eve by returning to our favorite date night restaurant for the first time alone. It felt daunting, but I told myself, “Today is the day to be brave, to honor him on the eve of our anniversary.” Going back was hard, but I reminded myself, “I’m doing this for both of us.” Sitting at our table, I could feel his presence in every little detail. I ordered our favorite pasta and a glass of wine — one for him. I silently raised my glass and toasted to us. It was a milestone I’m proud of, and I know he’s proud of me too.

Tell Us about your life today and how you continue to keep Christian’s memory alive.

Today I feel incredibly blessed knowing that I have the hottest, sexiest, most magical guardian angel watching over me. Even though Christian isn’t physically here, his love surrounds me every day. My daughter and I have a nightly ritual where we light candles for Christian and the girls, each with their own special candle. We say goodnight and “I love you,” and this small but meaningful act carries them forward with us each day.

This unfathomable experience has taught me that we can’t take anything with us except the love that we’ve shared and the lessons we’ve learned. Christian and I always believed there is more to life than just this physical world. His love has saved me and continues to guide me. I know our love story isn’t over — it’s simply one chapter in our eternal journey together.

Christian called us “soul lovers” and I feel that bond now more than ever. No matter the distance between us, we’re still on this journey, and his love is my constant source of comfort and strength. Our love has always been unconditional and unbreakable, and it continues to give me purpose. I want to remind people that no matter the circumstances, love endures beyond this physical realm.

You also plan on continuing to create films in his memory.

One of Christian’s greatest passions was storytelling. Most recently he was deeply invested in using his film expertise to inspire spiritual growth and uplift humanity. At the time of his passing, he was working on a deeply personal documentary about spirituality and self-discovery. Together, we dreamed of one day creating a film that would capture the transformative power of divine soul love — a love that heals and transcends — inspired by our own twin flame journey and spiritual awakening together. This project reflected his deep belief in the power of love and the importance of sharing that story through film.

We knew there was a story to tell. I now realize that our story is still being written through this journey. I’ve come to know that our love transcends time and space, especially now, and as a result it has become the most epic love story we could have ever imagined. I’m still anchored here on Earth, and he is now anchored in heaven, and our love is the bridge between us. His physical absence is a daily challenge but knowing that our love is eternal and feeling his spiritual presence beside me helps me get through each day, one day at a time.

I know that one day, I’ll fulfill our dream by bringing that story to life… and I’m certain he’ll be guiding me every step of the way.

You loved sailing on his boat together. And now you’re the captain of the ship.

The greatest way I keep Christian’s memory alive, in a physical sense now, is through his sailboat. I feel so honored to be its guardian now, continuing to care for it — his happy place, our happy place. His energy is so strong there, and I know he’s smiling down on me, joining in on every new sailing adventure.

When he sailed, I’d just watch him — completely in his element — in awe of him. There was something so magnetic about him on the water. I loved watching him sail. I wasn’t paying attention to everything he was doing. I used to be his first mate and now I’m learning to be the captain. I really think he is proud of me. It’s the one place I can still go to that has his physical energy. It’s like a little place I can still come home to and feel him all around me. It’s such a gift to have.

Christian named her Maia Luna after his girls’ middle names, and this summer, I plan to have the name officially sealed onto the boat, completing what he began but couldn’t quite finish in time. Christian will always be a part of me, and everything I am now holds a piece of him. I’m forever changed and so grateful to know him. Some people go through their whole life without finding their person, we were so lucky to find each other, and I hold onto that as a never-ending gift.

What other cherished mementos of your relationship do you hold close to your heart?

One of the most meaningful gifts he gave me was on my last birthday together physically [was] a 50-million-year-old fossilized pair of fish. He gave this to me because Christian and I are both Pisces fish, and our birthdays are only a few days apart. When he presented it to me he said, smiling, “This is you and me baby, stuck together.” It could not be a more perfect symbol of our love to this day — timeless and forever bonded.

For Christmas right before leaving for our vacation on the island, Christian gave me a candle with five wicks, and said “This is for our family.” Representing the five of us. On Christmas Eve, we were all together, and as we were leaving, he handed me another gift — a framed photo of the two of us, which now sits on my bedside table.

While on the island, we found a large conch shell walking on the beach together, and he picked it up and said that it looked like his heart and that he wanted me to have it and take it home with me. It’s a deeply sentimental object that I cherish now. I keep it on my bedside table as a reminder of his loving presence that is with me always.

One of the most special gifts he gave me was a massive cube of rose quartz. Rose quartz represents unconditional love. What makes it even more meaningful is that I keep our girls’ three painted rocks on top of it — that they made together. It’s such a powerful symbol of our family and love.

Lastly, one of the most precious mementos I have, is a 35-minute voice memo that we made together on our eighth date documenting our first seven dates together because they were so out of this world magical that we were in total awe and wanted to remember every single detail! We felt compelled to document it. Looking back, I’m just so grateful that we took the time to do that.

These mementos are not just objects to me — they are physical representations of our love, our memories, and our bond. Each one gives me comfort and strength, reminding me that Christian and the girls are always with us, no matter what. They are treasures I will hold onto forever.

Did you talk about your future together? How have you processed it all?

We talked about it a lot. We dreamed about our future together [and] we were already intertwining and blending our lives together. We thought we had the next 50 years. Family was everything to us, and we were already living our dream of blending our families, following our creative passions, and enjoying life all together. We felt like we were just getting started, like the best was yet to come.

One moment that stands out was while we were on the island, where it felt like a pinnacle of how far we had come. We were on a big sailboat and Christian looked at me with a huge smile on his face and said, “Look at us, baby! We did it!” It felt like we had reached the mountain top and all of our efforts had paid off. It was as if we were finally enjoying the view. Everything we had patiently built over time was in its place, and now we were finally ready to sail off into the sunset.

I’m still processing the unfathomable. Trying to navigate the impossible. Although Christian is no longer physically here, I am carrying on the essence we shared, embodying our unconditional love and our vision for the world, to let love rule.

Can you feel his presence with you today?

I feel his presence every day, guiding me and holding my hand through everything. It gives me a constant, comforting feeling that reminds me I am never truly alone. My dreams have become a sacred space where we reconnect. Dreaming of him is one of my greatest comforts; it’s where I can experience him most vividly. I still carry the moment in early 2024 when he held me in a dream, his face lit with a bright, beautiful smile, and said, “One minute at a time.” Those words anchored me then, and they continue to guide me now. These dreams have been lifelines, offering me comfort when I need it most.

I live each day inspired to embody our unconditional love, not just for him but for the world around me. His love is my lifeline; without it, I would be a shell of a woman. It has saved me and remains to be a continuous source of strength. No matter the challenges or the distance we face, our love has proven time and time again to be unshakable. I feel like come what may, we continue to love each other more and more every day, no matter what.

What do you want Christian’s legacy to be?

Christian’s legacy is defined by the immense love and light he brought into the lives of everyone around him. His presence was magnetic, and he had an unmatched zest for life that uplifted everyone he encountered. He had this unique ability to light up a room the moment he walked in — his positivity and excitement were contagious, creating an atmosphere filled with joy and inspiration. Through his work, his relationships, and the very essence of who he was, Christian continues to inspire people every day. One of the most powerful messages Christian left behind was his last words to the world: “Let Love Rule”. These words were not just a post or a final message; they were a declaration of how he lived his life — focusing on love, kindness, and compassion above all else. In essence, his message was clear: Choose love. His legacy is a constant reminder to embrace love, no matter the circumstances.

Christian also embodied a limitless mindset — he was a natural problem-solver who approached life with a “there’s always a way” attitude. He loved challenges, and instead of shying away from them, he thrived. His approach was always creative and outside-the-box. Christian believed in taking risks and living fearlessly. His adventurous spirit and his belief that anything was possible motivated everyone around him to chase their own dreams and take bold steps in their lives. He wasn’t afraid to go all in, and that made him an adventurist at heart, always seizing every opportunity with enthusiasm and passion. Living life to the fullest.

He was someone who made the most of every moment, balancing an incredible number of projects while still being fully present in his role as a father, partner, and creator. His ability to multitask was remarkable, whether it was through filmmaking, his creative projects, or his relationships. Christian always made sure to pour his heart into everything he did, ensuring that each moment was filled with meaning and purpose.

Beyond his projects and his work, Christian’s true legacy lives on in the magic of his spirit. His charisma, boundless energy, and unwavering positivity has had a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. He was always cheering people on, encouraging them to pursue their passions, and reminding them of their potential. His creative vision and his loving energy continue to inspire and touch lives, both through the work he left behind and through the memories of the way he made people feel.

In essence, Christian’s legacy is one of love, adventure, creativity, and inspiration. His light continues to shine brightly, touching hearts and leaving an indelible mark on the world and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Sherri Papini: 3 Things That Still Puzzle Us After Seeing the New Doc

29 May 2025 at 08:00

We’re still reeling from all the revelations in Investigation Discovery’s two-night true-crime documentary Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie.

Sherri, who had gone jogging near her Redding, California, home, disappeared on November 2, 2016, and didn’t resurface until 22 days later. Claiming two armed Hispanic women had abducted her, she was in rough shape, emaciated, with bruises, burns, her long blonde hair shorn and a chain around her waist. But an intense investigation flipped the script, and Sherri ultimately confessed that she’d faked the crime. She served nearly 11 months in prison.

In the doc, she recants that confession and points a finger at ex-boyfriend James Reyes, with whom she was having an emotional affair. He had long ago told investigators that she was at his Costa Mesa, California, apartment for those three weeks, but he thought he was helping her “run away” from an abusive marriage: “I didn’t kidnap her.” He also said that she was the instigator for any physical harm to her body.

Now that we’ve seen all four hours of Caught in the Lie, let’s look at a few things that still don’t add up.

Everything Sherri Says About Her Ex in New Doc: Kids 'Stolen' by Keith

The iPhone She Dropped

One of the initial clues that puzzled investigators and spoke of potential violence was Sherri’s iPhone, which had been dropped by a dirt road on her jogging route and had blonde hair tangled up in the cords to her earbuds. Then-husband Keith Papini had discovered it using his Find My Phone app, telling 20/20: “If she would have lost her phone driving home one day and she put it on the roof of the car and it fell off, OK, whatever. I could see that happening. But the cars are home and the kids are at school. I knew something was wrong.”

For the FBI, the find — the phone was facing up, with the earbuds on top of it — was a red flag. “The way it was placed … you don’t just drop your phone when you’re being kidnapped and coil up your headphones and then pull your hair out and make sure it’s in there,” says Denise Farmer, the FBI’s lead investigator (now retired). “That was very strange to us.”

Initially, Sherri confirmed she was responsible and had intended this as an alert to her husband. While in the room with investigators, she turned to Keith and said, “I knew you’d find my phone and my hair … That’s why I pulled it out — I knew you’d know.”

But in the new doc, she changes her story. With plans to meet Reyes, Sherri says she went on her run. “I saw a vehicle pull up and then back up. That’s when I realized that it was James. My cell phone fell, and when I reached down to get my phone, that is the last thing that I remember.”

Questioned about the inconsistency, she first answers with a non sequitur: “Oh, during captivity, James said they found my phone, so I knew I knew he had found the phone.” (Yeah, her interviewer didn’t get it either.) But then she explains her first account (sort of): “So, there was elaboration around it, sure, and there was a — what’s the word that you’ve used before? Thank you, thank you — there was embellishment around it, sure. But it was my first attempt to say I was in trouble.”

The truth, Sherri says, is that it fell. But after that, “I have no memory of getting in the back of this vehicle. I have no memory of what was said or what was exchanged or how he managed to knock me out or get me in the back.”

Sherri’s therapist, Dr. Stephen Diggs, who specializes in the treatment of personality disorder, shares that failure to remember “pertinent parts of the trauma” is listed as one of the criteria for PTSD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. “It’s right in the DSM.”

And clinical psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula, who has not treated Sherri, gives additional insight about the kind of memory issues Sherri may be experiencing: “One of the most frustrating things you’re going to find is that trauma stories have holes, right? And we think that if someone can’t remember something, they’re faking, or we think it’s soap opera amnesia or something like that. But those holes in memory are often protective, and the shape-shifting on the story, if it feels too self-serving, leaves you in the position of wondering how much of this is a calculation, how much of this is a dishonesty.”

Bombshell Interview: Sherri Papini Now Denies Hoax, Names Her Abductor

The Brand

Sherri’s condition after three weeks in captivity shocked the nation — and perhaps the most disturbing element was the brand on her right shoulder, which reads “Exodus” with a corresponding Bible verse. At the time, Shasta County, California, sheriff Tom Bosenko said, “I would think that that’s some sort of either an exertion of power and control and or maybe some type of message that the brand contained.”

In her new interview, Sherri specifically references the brand when reclassifying her disappearance not as a hoax but as an abduction: “There was no consent. And he still did it. The injuries that occurred. The bites on my inner and outer thigh. The footprint on my back. The brand. The melting of my skin. I can’t do that myself, and I am telling you, there was no consent.”

She alleges that Reyes got the idea to brand her in October 2016, when she was telling him about the handmade Christmas gifts she was working on, included wood coasters with letters burned onto them. Specifically, “I had talked about the wood-burning tool,” she says. She believes that conversation sent him to Hobby Lobby a month later (the receipt was in evidence) to buy the tool and brand her.

“When James had me tied to the table,” she recounts, “he would have to screw these letters in with pliers. I can still hear the sound. It’s like a popping sound and you can smell it and I can still feel it and the pain that you experience, letter by letter.”

The Dueling Polygraphs

In the show’s final hour, we see video of an investigator’s November 8, 2024, visit to Reyes in Nogales, Arizona. Reyes confirms he’s aware of Sherri’s new allegations and says, “I’ll have to contact my lawyer in California.” During the investigation, he passed every question of a polygraph and was never charged with anything… which is a bit tricky to reconcile with Sherri’s new polygraph.

Among the questions, she’s asked, “While at James’ house in 2016, were you free to leave at any time without fear of violence?” and “Did you ask James to brand you?” She answered no to both — and passed.

Polygraph examiner Brett Bartlett explains that the test does not technically indicate truth but whether her body has a “significant response” to a statement, indicating she has failed the polygraph.

While other questions to Sherri did get that significant response — and she clarifies the thoughts racing through her mind while answering — ultimately, the test indicates that the essence of her new account of being held against her will is indeed true. “I do believe you. I’m sorry that happened to you,” Bartlett says.

How American Idol’s Jamal Roberts Celebrated His Win

29 May 2025 at 07:50

American Idol was a whirlwind experience for season 23 winner Jamal Roberts. So when it was all over, the Mississippi native basked in his victory with a favorite treat.

“I think I got me some hot fish, a hot fish sandwich,” Roberts, 27, told Us Weekly exclusively on Tuesday, May 27. “And I went to get my kids and take them to the house so we could spend time with each other.”

Roberts defeated runners-up John Foster and Breanna Nix on the May 18 Idol finale, earning not just $250,000 in prize money but a trip for four on the Disney Wish cruise line. He still hasn’t received his winnings but, for now, the father of three is happy to be home.

“I was ready to get to my house and get into bed and get my kids,” he admitted, referring to his daughters, Harmoni, Lyrik and Gianna. “I was just ready to go be a dad at this point.”

How 'American Idol' Prizes Have Changed Through the Years

Like every Idol winner, Roberts had a busy post-show schedule. He stopped by New York to do Good Morning America and is heading back on the road next month for CMA Fest in Nashville.

Although his youngest daughter is just 3 weeks old, he said it’s actually not hard to balance fame and fatherhood.

“It’s quite easy,” he said. “You just don’t put yourself first no more, Especially when you’re a father, a parent. It’s not about you anymore. It’s all about making the right decisions, especially since I’m doing this for my kids so that they’ll have a bright future.”

'American Idol' Winners: Where Are Fantasia Barrino and More Now?

While Roberts may feel he has it “easy” now, the road to get there was anything but simple. He auditioned twice for American Idol before making it to the top of season 23.

“I didn’t get defeated. I never gave up,” he told Billboard in April. “I took the no. I’ve always been able to take constructive criticism and use it for my gain and try again. This has always been me.”

This time, he took some advice from judge Lionel Richie, who gave him confidence on stage despite his previous setbacks.

“He said, ‘When you are on stage and get to doing what you’re doing, you’re exploding. I hate to see you leave.’ That stuck with me. It means I’m doing something right,” Roberts added. “I’ve learned to stay true to yourself. Don’t second-guess yourself. Oh man, second-guessing can cause a lot of stress. Go with your first mind. Anything that you do, do your best.”

Kylie Kelce Jokes Baby Finn Looks Less 'Aggressively' Like Jason Now

29 May 2025 at 07:47

Kylie Kelce is still adjusting to life with four daughters — but there’s no second-guessing when it comes to who newborn Finn resembles most.

Kylie, 33, returned to hosting her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast on Thursday, May 29, after giving birth to her and Jason Kelce‘s fourth baby in March. “Finn is every single day changing her look,” she told listeners of her 7-week-old daughter. “I can’t necessarily say that she still looks as aggressively like Jason, but the Kelce genes are strong, guys. I made Kelce women.”

The couple also share daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 4, and Bennett, 2, and Kylie joked that “there’s very little” of herself in any of them.

“That’s OK because it turns out my husband makes very cute girls,” she continued. “But I would like a little credit. Just a little credit when you look at ’em. Like, ‘Maybe she did build them.’ … It’s fine.”

While recapping her time on maternity leave — which she emphasized was not a “vacation” — Kylie admitted that the shift from having three children to four could best be described as “holy s***.” As for how Finn’s big sisters are settling into their new routine, Kylie said it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

“We’re absolutely winging it. … Bennie is the only one who’s not interested in what she’s doing and likes to pretend like she’s not there,” Kylie revealed. “It’s a fun little game we’re playing.”

Kylie recounted an incident that happened earlier that day where she put Finn on the floor to change her diaper. “For some reason, Bennie stood up and ran straight at me full speed,” she said. “And I had to put my hand out. Of course, I was ready for it. We’ve done this a couple times now. And that’s part of the reason why we’re stuck [with me holding Finn]. Because if I put her down, I can’t guarantee safety the way I can if she’s elevated, out of reach of Bennett.”

Wyatt and Ellie, however, have become mom and dad’s little helpers. “They will go and get me diapers, they wanna talk to her,” Kylie said. “[Finn] very much locks in on their faces and is distracted from an upset moment by their voices … which is one of the cutest things you’ve ever seen in your whole life.”

Kylie gushed that it’s “very sweet” to see her older daughters “mirror” the way she speaks to their baby sister, whose daily activities consist of “eat, sleep, poop, cry. That’s it.”

Since becoming a family of six, Kylie and Jason, 37, have laid relatively low. They stepped out to celebrate Mother’s Day in Philadelphia earlier this month, where they were joined by Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and mom Donna Kelce. Kylie and Jason later attended an event for Eagles Autism Foundation, which raised over $10 million. Fans caught a quick glimpse of baby Finn in photos shared via social media from the event.

Ariana Biermann Is Not ‘As Close’ With Dad Kroy Amid ‘Tough Situation’ With Mom Kim Zolciak

29 May 2025 at 07:30

Fans who watched the Biermann kids grow up on Bravo over the years may be sad to learn that Ariana Biermann‘s relationship with dad Kroy Biermann has suffered a bit during his divorce from her mom, Kim Zolciak.

During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly about the upcoming show Next Gen NYC, Ariana, 23, revealed where she stands with Kroy, 39, amid his and Zolciak’s ongoing divorce, saying, “Growing up, he really was my best friend — more than my mom was for a while.”

Ariana is “trying to still” have a relationship with her dad, but the relationship has had its challenges.

“We’re definitely not as close as we used to be, and I don’t really talk to him very often just because of this tough situation that we’re in,” she continued. “But I really do try to keep the divorce and my relationship with him and my mom separate. It just gets hard at times.”

Real Housewives' Kids: Then and Now

News broke in May 2023 that Zolciak and Kroy, 47, filed for divorce after more than a decade of marriage. Two months later, the pair dismissed their divorce, but their reconciliation was short-lived. Kroy refiled in August 2023, claiming that the twosome’s marriage was “irretrievably broken.”

Zolciak and Kroy, who tied the knot in 2011, share sons Kroy “KJ” Jr., 13, and Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, 11. Kroy also adopted Zolciak’s daughters Brielle, 28, and Ariana from a previous relationship.

Before joining Next Gen NYC, Ariana and her family were featured on The Real Housewives of Atlanta from 2008 to 2012. Zolciak subsequently received her own spinoff show titled Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding, which focused on her nuptials with Kroy. The series was renewed — and renamed to Don’t Be Tardy — for a second season and continued to air until 2020.

Ariana is now at the center of the drama on Next Gen NYC, which stars fellow Housewives kids Riley Burruss, Gia Giudice, Brooks Marks and newcomers Ava Dash, Emira D’Spain, Shai Fruchter, Georgia McCann, Hudson McLeroy and Charlie Zakkour as they establish their identities in the Big Apple.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann's Relationship Timeline

The cast should look familiar for Real Housewives fans with Riley, 22, appearing on RHOA with mom Kandi Burruss while Gina, 24, and her mom, Teresa Guidice, starred on The Real Housewives of New Jersey and Brooks, 25, previously appearing on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City with parents Meredith and Seth Marks.

“I think it was just a really incredible opportunity for us to showcase more of who we are outside of our moms and to do our own thing,” Ariana told Us. “[The show] follows us as we are living our lives in New York.”

Ariana credited Gina for her getting involved, adding, “Gia was like, ‘You’re coming to New York and you’re doing this show with me.’ She’s like, ‘I need you. It’s going to be so fun and I need to know I have somebody in my corner too.’ I was like, ‘Definitely.’ And I love any opportunities and it was a blessing. I was super excited to just come.”

Next Gen NYC premieres on Bravo Tuesday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.

Vanderpump Villa's Marciano Claims He Can Prove Demi Infidelity Claims to Her Husband: 'All on Camera'

29 May 2025 at 07:05

Vanderpump Villa‘s Marciano Brunette issued a public message to Demi Engemann‘s husband, Bret Engemann, about the alleged infidelity that took place before season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Marciano, 32, took to Instagram on Wednesday, May 28, first sharing Bret’s comment to a fan who asked about Jen Affleck‘s claims Demi, 30, was unfaithful.

” Jen has proven to be a pathological liar over and over again,” Bret, 47, replied in the post. “Here’s one of many examples … most of Jen and Zac’s entire backstory for SLOMW is a lie. They were NEVER separated. Jen sat in Whitney’s living room pleading with Zac to go along with the fake narrative of separation.”

Bret continued: “Jen’s claims of Marciano and Demi are 100% false. Oh, and Demi never served Jen a cease and desist. Hope this brings clarity.”

'Vanderpump Villa' Star Marciano's Alleged 'Mormon Wives' Affairs Explained

Marciano reacted in a response video, “You are saying Jen is 100 percent false when Jen is 100 percent true. Dude, you are a smart man. You are not delusional. It is admirable that you want to defend your woman like that. But you must just not know the whole truth.”

The Vanderpump Villa star urged Bret to contact him.

“You heard Jen, she says she has receipts. If she has receipts, imagine what kind of receipts I have,” Marciano continued. “Even if there weren’t any receipts, she was at Vanderpump Villa and I was at Vanderpump Villa. Everyone knows what went down — it is all on camera. All I am saying is if you want the truth, get my phone number and we can have a talk.”

Before season 2 of Mormon Wives premiered earlier this month, Demi and Bret’s marriage was already a major topic of conversation on Vanderpump Villa. A visit to Lisa Vanderpump‘s villa took a turn when Marciano found himself smitten with Demi. They ended the season on good terms, but Demi later called out Marciano for perpetuating rumors that she was unfaithful.

“Nothing happened with Marciano. At the expense of sounding rude, there wasn’t even a remote attraction to him. It sucks that women can’t be kind and friendly and even playful with men in this world without it being taken as like you’re open. I had a rock on my finger the entire time I was there,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in May. “I brought up my marriage multiple times and they were told that we were married women — so it sucks that we couldn’t just go and have a good time and that he couldn’t respect that.”

How Many Cheating Scandals Were Explored on 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives'?

Bret, for his part, defended Demi’s version of events as well.

“I’m so proud of this beautiful human. She’s the most incredible woman I will ever know,” he wrote via Instagram before season 2 of Mormon Wives also brought up claims Bret cheated on Demi, which he denied. “The amount of nonsense she’s had to endure at the hands of disingenuous and deceitful fools is astounding. She’s conducted herself like a graceful lioness amongst a bunch of yipping hyenas.”

Marciano subsequently appeared in the last scene of the season — only to claim he actually (or also?) had an affair with Jessi Ngatikaura.

“I will say that it’s not what he made it sound [like],” Jessi, 32, who is married to Jordan Ngatikaura, told Bustle this month. “What he said was not accurate. I wish I could speak now. … Honestly, yeah, he’s a piece of s***.”

Caroline Manzo's Daughter Lauren Addresses Cousin Lexi's Claims About Family

29 May 2025 at 07:04

The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Caroline Manzo’s daughter, Lauren Manzo, is weighing in on recent comments made by her cousin Lexi Ioannou.

“I do love my cousin Lexi so much and I have a soft spot for her. She lived with me for many years when she was a little girl,” Lauren, 37, said in one of two lengthy TikTok videos on Wednesday, May 29. “We were her siblings.”

Lauren told her followers that she “never wanted to have to address” the Manzo family drama publicly. She explained that they “don’t speak on the situation” regarding former RHONJ star Dina Manzo and her ex-husband Tommy Manzo because it impacts “both sides” of the family.

Dina married Tommy — who is brothers with Albert Manzo, her sister Caroline’s husband — in 2007. They separated in 2012 and divorced four years later. Tommy is currently incarcerated after being found guilty for “hiring, then assisting, a soldier in the Lucchese Crime Family to assault” Dina’s now-husband, David Cantin, in 2015.

Teresa Giudice Addresses Caroline Manzo's Betrayal of Sister Dina

Lexi, 29 claimed during an appearance on Gia Giudice’s podcast earlier this week that when her mom and Tommy split, he essentially threw them out of the house and kept all of their stuff. When Tommy went to prison in October 2024, Lexi said she reached out to Lauren for help recovering her and Dina’s things. In Lexi’s eyes, they didn’t do enough. (Lexi also claimed in the podcast that some of her and Dina’s heirlooms were found in the garbage at The Brownstone, the New Jersey banquet hall owned by the Manzo family.)

The recent “backlash” on social media tearing down Lauren’s character after Lexi’s podcast appearance is what led her to finally speak out in the TikTok videos.

Lauren claimed on Wednesday that she called Tommy “for Lexi” after he went to prison, explaining that her family “did not have a relationship with him.” Lauren claimed that she had a “really nice” conversation with Lexi and agreed to help recover her and Dina’s things.

Per Lauren, she was not allowed in the home. Instead, the people in control — who she called “not good people” — had a garage sale. Lauren said she and Caroline went to the sale and made it clear that she was “fighting for Lexi.” Caroline was apparently willing to “buy everything,” but Lauren was “met with a lot of resistance” when it came to getting Lexi and Dina’s things from the sale. Lauren claimed that she “felt a major responsibility” to help Lexi in this “mission.”

So Many Manzos! See Caroline and Albert's Family Through the Years

It became “extremely clear” to Lauren that they were not welcome in the house and said that she and Caroline “burnt those bridges” with certain people in their family by trying to help Lexi.

“I stand by burning those bridges. I’m still upset. I still think about it often that we weren’t allowed in,” Lauren said. “It kills me that she feels we let her down.”

TLC’s ‘90 Day: Hunt for Love’: Cast Secrets, Flirting Tactics and Wild DMs

29 May 2025 at 07:00

 

The romance! The drama! TLC is turning up the heat with its newest spinoff, 90 Day: Hunt for Love — and we’re already hooked. In this steamy new dating series, airing Mondays, at 8 p.m. ET, your favorite 90 Day Fiancé alums and a batch of fresh faces, head to a singles-only retreat in Tulum, Mexico, in a quest to find real, lasting love.

Luckily for Us, we got an exclusive sneak peek with some of your favorite stars including, Chantel Everett, Tiffany Franco, Colt Johnson, Tim Malcolm, Cortney Reardanz and Rob Warne, at our VIP pre-premiere event with TLC in New York City. What they had to say is every bit as wild, charming and unfiltered as you’d expect.

When asked how they’d impress a potential match in just 90 seconds, the answers were as unique as the cast themselves. Colt joked he’d “do a little dance or something,” laughing that there’s not much time to work with.

Tiffany, on the other hand, would go for a more direct approach, saying, “I would sit there and give them that stare — throw them with my eyes.” Chantel kept it classic, saying she’d “bat [her] eyes and smile really nicely,” while Tim revealed his strategy would be humor: “People say I get girls way too pretty for me — I think it’s the sense of humor. So, I’d try to make ’em laugh.”

Like Colt, Rob would turn the moment into a mini dance party, soundtracked to Mario’s “Let Me Love You.” And Cortney offered the most relatable answer of all: “Fail miserably?”

1st Look at TLC's Wild New Dating Show ’90 Day: Hunt for Love’

As veterans of the 90 Day universe, the cast knows a thing or two about love under pressure and how reality TV changes everything. Colt admitted that relationships have become more complicated with all the logistics and backstory, joking, “Good thing they’ve got the series on Blu-ray.”

Tiffany reflected on how the experience forced her to confront some uncomfortable personal growth: “It definitely pushes your boundaries — and even if you don’t want to, you learn some hard truths about yourself.” Cortney said she’s now more cautious and aware of scams. Meanwhile, Tim was blunt: “It’s hard to date when you’re on TV. I don’t do a lot of dating — and it shows. I’m rusty.”

Watching the show back, meanwhile, can be just as intense as filming it. Tiffany admitted, “While it’s happening, you’re like, ‘Oh my God, what?’ But then you rewatch it and think, ‘Did I really say that?’” Rob said he avoids watching altogether because he doesn’t like seeing himself on screen. Cortney, ever self-deprecating, said, “It’s so cringey. I’m like, ‘Oh my God, do I talk that slow all the time?’”

‘90 Day: Hunt for Love’ Sneak Peek Has Rob Finding ‘Love at First Sight’

And of course, we had to know about their wildest requests from fans. Colt recalled someone who asked him to be “the father of their cats and live with them on a farm.” Tim’s experience took a darker turn — his phone number leaked during his first year, and he received death threats. Rob said some of the DMs he gets are sexual noting “the outlandish ideas that I’d be into this or that or that.” Tiffany might have the strangest story of all: a fan offered to pay her for a vial of her used bathwater. “I was like … how much are we talking?” she laughed.

Whether you’re in it for the love stories, the jaw-dropping moments or just a fresh round of your favorite 90 Day stars, 90 Day: Hunt for Love delivers everything fans crave — and then some.

90 Day: Hunt for Love airs on TLC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.

29 May 2025 at 05:46

Italy’s Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies said she’s lucky to be alive after a scary motorcycle injury.

“I’m incredibly lucky to be alive. I crashed headfirst into a wall whilst riding a motorcycle and ended up in [a coma] in the Intensive Care Unit. Surviving this was nothing short of a miracle,” Maria Carolina, 21, shared with her 170,000 Instagram followers on Wednesday, May 28, alongside photos of her on her motorcycle, clad in biker leathers, as well as photos taken inside her hospital room.

The princess, who is the Duchess of Calabria and Palermo in Sicily in southern Italy, said her injuries could have been a lot worse had she not been wearing a helmet.

“I wanted to share my own experience as I’ve realized now more than ever that motorcycles are powerful and thrilling, but also unforgiving,” Maria Carolina wrote. “Please ride with care. Wear full protection, especially a proper helmet. Mine saved my life.”

22 of the Hottest Male Royals and Princes Around the World

The Italian royal concluded her post by thanking the hospital staff and first responders who attended to her after her accident.

She wrote, “My deepest thanks to the outstanding team at Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace for their expert care during those critical days, and to the emergency medical team and first responders on the scene, whose quick and decisive actions in those first moments made all the difference 🙏🏼.”

Maria Carolina is the eldest daughter of Italian aristocrat Prince Carlo, the Duke of Castro, and his wife, Camilla Crociani. She has a younger sister, Princess Maria Chiara of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, who is 20 and is also the Duchess of Noto and Capri.

Meet the Royal Kids From All Over the World

In 2014, Maria Carolina made a cameo appearance in the Grace Kelly biopic Grace of Monaco starring Nicole Kidman.

The princess made her society debut at the prestigious Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris in 2019. She was escorted by Prince Léopold of Nassau, the son of Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg.

Everything to Know About 'Ginny and Georgia' Season 3 After Arrest Twist

29 May 2025 at 05:45

Ginny & Georgia blew up Georgia’s wedding day by having her get arrested for murder — but season 3 is about to raise the stakes even higher.

The hit Netflix series, which premiered in 2021, follows a young single mother named Georgia (Brianne Howey) who moved her family to Wellsbury, Massachusetts, after running away from her murderous past. When season 2 wrapped up in 2023, Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and her brother, Austin (Diesel La Torraca), finally found out about their mother’s misdeeds.

By the finale, Georgia was arrested on her and Paul’s (Scott Porter) wedding day for the murder of fellow Wellsbury resident Cynthia’s (Sabrina Grdevich) husband. Georgia previously killed Cynthia’s terminally ill husband after learning Cynthia blocked Austin’s dad Gil’s (Aaron Ashmore) application to move to Wellsbury.

“When we had to develop the story line for season 2, we knew exactly what we wanted season 3 to be,” creator Sarah Lampert told Tudum in 2023. “Georgia needed to kill someone and she needed to kill someone in Wellsbury, Massachusetts.”

'Ginny & Georgia' Cast: Who the Stars Have Dated in Real Life

Lampert warned fans that season 3 will throw “new hurdles, new relationships, and new challenges” at Ginny and Georgia “in a way we haven’t seen before on the show.” Howey, for her part, couldn’t help but agree when speaking exclusively to Us Weekly in February 2025.

“All of the characters are now, as we see, on their own mental health journey, and it’s a really important part of the show. Georgia, for the first time in her life, is realizing the catastrophic consequences of her actions that they have on her children,” she explained to Us. “As season 3 starts, Georgia has been so exposed — all of their private family secrets are now out in the open — and you can only imagine the domino effect of what this does to everyone in Georgia’s life, including Georgia.”

Who Is Returning?

In addition to Howey and Gentry, Felix Mallard, Sara Waisglass, Diesel La Torraca, Jennifer Robertson, Scott Porter, Raymond Ablack, Katie Douglas, Chelsea Clark, Nathan Mitchell and Katelyn Wells are returning.

Ty Doran is playing Wolfe, a “laid-back guy in Ginny’s poetry class who doesn’t particularly like poetry.” Noah Lamanna (they/them) will appear in season 3 as Marcus and Silver’s friend Tris, “a skateboarder who is supersmart and peer tutors.”

How Does Ginny and Georgia’s Story as Mother and Daughter Evolve?

“I think what we love so much about Ginny and Georgia is their love for each other. What Georgia is out there showing is that there’s no wrong way to love your child — it might look different on everybody, but there’s no wrong way to love your child,” Howey told Us in February 2025. “Georgia, even with her limited toolbox — and she, of course, doesn’t get it all right — but she is trying so hard. I think that’s what really matters.”

Before the hit series returned to Netflix, Howey and husband Matt Ziering welcomed a daughter in 2023, which deepened her connection to Georgia.

“Having my own daughter going through these scenes … meant so much more in a new way,” she noted to Us. “The more personal you make the work, the more universal it becomes, and the writing, the story, the nuance, it’s so personal to everybody involved and it seems to be making waves. No matter what walk of life you come from, there seems to be a character that you feel like you can really relate to and that you want to go on this journey with them.”

Which TV Shows Are Renewed in 2025-2026?

Where Is Ginny’s Story Heading in Season 3?

Gentry told Tudum in May 2025 that “we see a new side of Ginny where she’s really coming into her own and accepting her decisions and standing by them, and making hard choices, but not being riddled with guilt or shame.”

How Is Season 3 Different From Past Seasons?

After a two-year delay caused by the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, season 3 is described as the “most ambitious and explosive season” yet.

“Going into it, we knew our core driving force isn’t the plot twists and turns, but the emotional truth of these two women,” Lampert explained to Tudum. “We care about these characters, they are messy and complicated and real, and that’s why we’re invested in the wild season they’re about to go through.”

Lampert teased that the writers’ room “blew up our world” in season 3.

“That’s the best way to describe it,” she continued. “The characters were pushed to new places, and the actors delivered performances that shook me to my core. The fans have been so patient, I cannot wait for them to see season 3.”

Will Max Find Herself Caught Between Sophie and Silver?

“A first love is very meaningful, very hard to get over. And yes, Max is sad about it for eight episodes straight. I would be too, it takes me a long time to get over people, so I understand her pain,” Waisglass exclusively told Us in January 2023. “My favorite thing is that when Sophie wants to be friends, Max has the strength to say, ‘No, that’s going to be very painful for me. I can’t watch the person I’m in love with love other people and pretend it doesn’t kill me inside.’ So that was a moment that I was very, very proud of her for.”

Waisglass noted she was rooting for her character to choose Silver because the new character saw Max “for exactly who she is — dramatic, crazy, loving, a bit blind to other people’s pain and issues — and like[s] her anyway.”

“And I think for Max to have someone who’s into her and who will actually return that love is a really beautiful thing to feel for the first time. So in terms of what I want for Max, I want her to give the love that she gives everyone else to herself. I think she needs that self-love because I think ultimately that’s what’s gonna make her the most free, but I do love Silver,” she concluded. “I love them all. Such great people.”

Can Fans Expect More Georgia and Joe — Despite Her Marriage to Paul?

For those that need a refresher, it was previously revealed that Joe and Georgia met when they were teenagers. Joe recognized Georgia and his crush continued, but Georgia found love with Paul.

Ablack teased what fans can expect, telling Tudum in 2023, “If it were me, their friendship and relationship are more nuanced, complex and complicated than simply holding a grudge or being upset with each other. There’s a lot more in there. You can be upset and still support and be friends, or there’s a whole world of options available to both of them with each other.”

He continued: “I cannot sing Brianne’s praises enough. She and Toni carry our show in more ways than just their performance. They make the environment a place where people want to come and can feel comfortable and capable to be their best selves in the workplace and on set. As an actor across from her, she’s so generous that it’s not difficult.”

Lindsay Lohan on Her 80s-Inspired Old Navy Ad and 'Free Spirited' Evolution

29 May 2025 at 05:45

Only Lindsay Lohan can look this good while working out.

Lohan, 38, exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about her “Old Navy, New Moves” campaign, which was inspired by 1980s workout videos and the brand’s activewear line. In the ad, she looked flawless while “improvising” her moves and modeling in a curve-hugging red top and matching leggings.

“I kind of improvised the whole running [and] flipping up, which was really fun,” she told Us, noting she didn’t even “realize” how much she was really working out at the moment. “[At] the end of the day, I was like, ‘Do I regret this?’” she laughed.

Lohan also talked to us about how “important” fitness and self-care are in her personal life, sharing, “If mom doesn’t feel good, it’s not a fun house.” She added that “it’s the most important thing in order for me to be the best for myself, the best for my son, the best for my husband, the best I can be all around.”

Lindsay Lohan Is the Most 'Confident' She's Ever Been After Becoming a Mom

Over the years, Lohan has been known to have a trendy sense of style. From low-rise jeans in the early 2000s to sleek black dresses recently, her evolution is iconic.

“I think it’s become more condensed,” Lohan said about her current wardrobe, which includes more staples than ever. “I would say I’m more specific about what I need in my everyday life. I always need good pairs of leggings or jeans that I love,” she added, noting she also has a “good blazer, good leather jacket and good shirts” in her closet. “Whereas I used to think you need to have everything changing so fast in fashion.”

Since welcoming her son Luai with her husband Bader Shammas in July 2023, Lohan told Us she’s retired some of her former clothes. “I’ve become a bit more modest, even on red carpets. I just like to be a little bit more buttoned up than I used to be,” the actress said, describing her old style as “free-spirited.” She also prioritizes “comfort” more than she once did.

One thing that she used to rock but is more than OK with never seeing again is low-rise jeans. “When I see that now, I’m like, ‘whoa, those are actually borderline too low,’” she joked. In fact, one outfit in particular that Lohan wishes she could take back involved low-rise jeans.

While she isn’t revisiting her old style, Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis once again worked together to create a sequel to Freaky Friday, Freakier Friday, which is set to release on August 8.

“We wanted to make it as great as the original,” Lohan told Us. “You always have that fear that when something’s so great on its own, can you do better and can you be just as funny and can it be as exciting?” She explained that she and Curtis, 66, were up for the challenge and “ran with it.”

“It was really comforting to go back into a character that I already know,” she said of her role as Anna. “I’ve evolved as myself, I was able to have Anna evolve, and that was really exciting for me in a lot of ways.”

Lohan also reminisced on her first Old Navy purchase back in the day. “It was one of their colorful tees because they were simple, playful, everyday pieces,” she gushed.

Chrishell Stause Says 'Lines Are Really Drawn' on 'Selling Sunset' Season 9

29 May 2025 at 05:30

Season 9 of the Netflix hit Selling Sunset has officially finished filming, and star Chrishell Stause tells UsWeekly that when it airs, it’ll be as dramatic and nuts as ever.

“I haven’t seen it yet, so I never know what they’re including,” she says. “But it got really crazy this season, and I do think that what you will see is that lines are really drawn. Once you see it, you’ll understand. It’s a very entertaining season.”

Entertaining for Sunset fans but “emotionally taxing” for its star, says Stause’s spouse, G Flip. “I’m proud of Chrishell, how she navigates her work life and has gotten through so many seasons. It’s like the Wild Wild West! How she handles all that toxic behavior and still comes home with a smile on her face. If your relationship is super strong and you have really good communication, you can really bear any storm.”

Stause and G Flip sat down with Us for this week’s cover story, celebrating Pride.

Says G, “Real love can defy gender and sexuality. You can fall in love with a person and their heart and who they are. All the preconceived ideas of what that person was meant to be can go out the window. But you’ve got to allow yourself to do that.”

Adds Stause, “That’s such a beautiful place to love from because your love is standing on so much more than categories and things that you would fill out in a dating app or get in an algorithm. It’s built on who they are as a human being, regardless of all the other things, because all the other things are going to change. The best thing I wish people understood about queer relationships is how beautiful they can be. I just feel like it’s limitless.”

Though Stause has worked as a real estate agent on Selling Sunset since 2019, she credits the couple’s relationship for helping her realize who her real family is. “I finally have a strong sense of who I am and what’s important to me,” she says. “Work is not the family. My family is here with G. I’ve bucked up against the idea that you have to take bad behavior because it’s your family, when it’s really just your colleagues. G is great at helping me pull apart that yarn. When I’d think I’d dropped the ball or let someone down, G was the first person to be like, ‘No, you haven’t.’”

So, would she ever consider a Selling Sydney spin-off, based in G Flip’s hometown? “The real estate market is different there — it’s super expensive. But I’d be open to it because I think there’s something there,” says Stause. “Listen, it could be in the works. You never know!”

Today, the All My Children alum is excited about several upcoming side projects, including acting in a scripted series and producing a show she helped create. “G and I want to both kick butt in our different lanes,” she says. The musician is keeping busy as well: G just released their latest single, “Disco Cowgirl” (with an album to follow later this year), and this summer, Stause will tag along as G heads to Europe on their first headlining tour.
