Love Island USA season 7 finalist Huda Mustafa claimed that she was abused as a child.

“Growing up, my dad was extremely abusive,” Huda, 24, alleged on the Thursday, July 17, episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “He was very abusive toward my mother, toward me and my siblings. A vivid memory I have as a kid … I remember hearing my dad beating the s*** out of my mom in the room. Someone finally got the door open, and I just remember seeing my mom’s face. Her glasses were broken, and then I see him snatch her head back and slam the door.”

The Peacock personality has since ceased communication with her father in light of his alleged actions. (Huda’s father, who has not been publicly identified, has not addressed the accusations.)

“I haven’t talked to my dad in eight years. I stopped talking to him when I was 16. There’s a really valid reason as to why I’m not speaking to him,” she said. “There were a lot of times where I was alone with my dad, and there are things that my family doesn’t believe me about.”

Love Island USA's Chris and Huda Make Franchise History With Finale Split

Huda added, “I kept a lot of things to myself, and then there was a point where I got really scared. I remember calling my mom, saying, ‘Please pick me up, please pick me up.’ She was like, ‘What’s wrong? I can’t. I have to get you tomorrow.’ She was working three or four jobs.”

At one point, Huda would “lock [herself] in the bathroom” while her dad would go work in his office.

“The floor would creak sometimes, so I was so scared [he’d hear me]. I tiptoed out and I closed the door really quietly,” Huda recalled. “I was like, ‘Please get out, like, get me out of here.’ And to this day, I don’t think anyone in my family believes anything that I say about that.”

Huda further admitted that her accusations were likely “hard [for her mom and siblings] to believe.”

“I just accepted that,” she said of her family’s disbelief. “I know what was going on, and I had listened to podcasts about certain things leading up to a lot with my dad. It made me realize, like, I don’t want to say grooming, but there are a lot of things that were happening.”

Love Island USA’s Huda and Chris Reveal What Wasn't Shown From Their Breakup

Huda did not detail her specific accusations but stressed that she has “no idea the reasoning behind” his alleged actions.

“My dad hasn’t remarried [or] nothing, like, I have no idea the reasonings behind it,” she said. “So, I never really had a father figure growing up in that way — at all.”

Huda tried to find solace in school, where she was always “unapologetically” herself.

“That didn’t resonate with a lot of people,” Huda claimed. “I got bullied in school. When I was in middle school, there was a point where I wanted to take my own life. I did not want to live anymore.”

Huda also disclosed her alleged childhood abuse to the Love Island USA casting team when she applied for season 7.

“When I was with the psychologist, I talked to her about all these things,” she recalled of joining the reality TV dating show. “I was just crying ’cause it’s like you really live it when you talk about it.”

Huda made it to the finale of Love Island USA, where she was coupled up with now-ex Chris Seeley, but the duo called it quits before the winner was crowned.

“Everyone has their opinions. I know exactly how I want it to be treated in a relationship and I’m not going to settle,” Huda exclusively told Us Weekly after the finale. “I will never sit here and just accept [whatever] as he says, shut up to me. That’s another thing, Chris would want me to shut up. I don’t like that.”

She added, “I’m not letting a man talk to me like that. I’ve had past relationships do that. It triggers me. There’s a lot of little things that weren’t shown on camera that led me to my decision, because why the hell would I have a man talk to me that way?”

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have once again been spotted spending time together amid ongoing romance rumors.

The A-listers were photographed lounging together on a luxury yacht near Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain, in the Mediterranean on June 30, according to Holá. Cruise, 63, and de Armas, 37, appeared to be vacationing alone, aside from the actress’s dog Salsa and the yacht crew.

De Armas could be seen wearing a sheer coverup over a bikini with a white-brimmed raffia hat, while Cruise shielded himself from the sun in a Panama hat, a blue long-sleeve shirt and navy shorts. Their yacht was photographed on the ocean between Cala’n Bosc and Cap D’Andratx after setting off from a port in Ciutadella de Menorca.

Cruise and the James Bond actress were initially seen dining together over Valentine’s Day weekend in London’s Soho neighborhood. The couple traveled to various hotspots over the next several weeks, including landing in London in Cruise’s personal helicopter in March. The Mission: Impossible star also flew de Armas to London one day before she turned 37 in April.

Tom Cruise’s Dating History: A Look Back at His A-List Romances

A source close to the pair exclusively told Us Weekly in May that Cruise and de Armas’ connection was “low-key, still new and in the early stages,” so they were trying to keep their romance “on the down low.”

The two Hollywood superstars reportedly first met in February to discuss potential work projects before a “relationship developed,” according to the insider. The source revealed that Cruise was “super smitten” with de Armas and their connection ultimately “developed into feelings.”

During an appearance on Good Morning America in May, de Armas confirmed she’d been having “so much fun” with Cruise, though she suggested they were simply working together on unspecified projects.

“We’re definitely working on a lot of things,” she said. “Not just one, but a few projects with [Cruise’s producers] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. I’m so excited.”

Prior to their recent Mediterranean vacation, Cruise and de Armas had not been seen together as often due to their busy schedules. Cruise was on a whirlwind worldwide press tour for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning prior to its May release, while de Armas was promoting From the World of John Wick: Ballerina at the same time.

Still, speculation about Cruise and de Armas’s connection followed them on their separate PR tours. Variety asked de Armas at the From the World of John Wick: Ballerina premiere in June whether Cruise was supportive of the movie.

Tom Cruise Praises Ana de Armas' New Movie After Their Recent Outings

“You know what, he supports every movie,” she coyly replied. “He really wants the industry and cinema to do well and [wants] people going to the theaters. We’re working together, so he got to see Ballerina, and he actually really liked it. He loved the John Wick [franchise].”

The actress added, “It is very special that someone like him is supporting [Ballerina.] It is really special, in general, to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together.”

Prior to their rumored relationship, de Armas was married to model and actor Marc Clotet from 2011 to 2013 and also dated her Deep Water costar Ben Affleck in 2020.

Cruise has been married three times: first to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, then to Nicole Kidman between 1990 and 2001 and finally to Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2013. Perhaps surprisingly, Holmes seemingly offered her support for Cruise’s apparent new romance when she “liked” a social media post about her ex-husband dating de Armas earlier in July.

Good Morning America‘s Lara Spencer has a new project in the works years after her HGTV series.

Spencer, 56, took to Instagram on Tuesday, July 15, writing, “If you’re wondering what I’m doing with all of this stuff, stay tuned! New project coming.”

The post, which showed her with home décor items, referenced Spencer’s HGTV past. “And all I’ll say is if you liked Flea Market Flip, you’re gonna be very happy,” she teased.

Spencer previously hosted 14 seasons of HGTV’s Flea Market Flip when it ran from 2012 to 2019. While HGTV fans are hoping she returns to the network, her teases come amid shakeups. HGTV made headlines in June for canceling five shows: Battle on the Beach, Farmhouse Fixer, Married to Real Estate, Bargain Block and Izzy Does It.

What HGTV Stars Said About Surprising — And Controversial — Cancellations

While the network hasn’t publicly addressed whether there will be more cuts, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa’s Flipping El Moussas is “not coming back” to HGTV. The same goes for Christina Haack’s series Christina on the Coast, which has also “not been renewed.”

According to a second insider, the trio’s The Flip Off is meant to be “back for a second season, but there is no filming date or air date yet.”

Property Brothers stars Drew and Jonathan Scott were also affected when viewers were alerted to a premiere change for the launch of their new show Chasing the West. An updated press release revealed that the second season of Don’t Hate Your House With the Property Brothers has been delayed from July 30 to “later this year.”

The newest season of their hit series Celebrity IOU is still airing as usual but viewers are concerned about the three upcoming shows Drew and Jonathan, both 47, are expected to have on HGTV.

Which HGTV Shows Are Safe — And Which Are Canceled — Amid Scheduling Changes

HGTV has announced the release of one new show: Junk or Jackpot? with Bobby Berk following his time on Queer Eye.

“I’m excited to help passionate people sift through their cherished items and give them reimagined spaces that will best honor what they hold dear,” Berk, 43, said in a press release, while executive producer John Cena added, “The idea for Junk or Jackpot? was born out of a conversation I had with friends. People often wonder if their collections are trash or treasure, and this show will help them find out.”

The six-episode season will follow Berk as he is tasked with helping homeowners decide whether to keep their unique collections — including superhero figurines or rare puppets and dolls — or sell them in order to renovate their outdated homes.

Athletics slugger Brent Rooker was out in the first round of the 2025 Home Run Derby, but he still found time to enjoy being a dad while watching his opponents swing away — and he’s not embarrassed by it one bit.

When one fan called him out via X for feeding his infant daughter during the Derby, he clapped back, calling it “necessary.”

“Yes, it was necessary to feed my 11 month old child her night time bottle at like 9:00 pm,” he wrote on Tuesday, July 15. “Thank you for asking.”

Rooker, 30, first took to X the night before to congratulate Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh on winning the Home Run Derby.

“What a blast!” he wrote. “It was an honor to compete against those guys and fulfill a childhood dream. Congrats to Cal and everyone else who made it a great night! Still hard to believe I get opportunities to do things like this.”

One fan replied, asking him to stick to sports while on the field.

“Hey Rooker…did you really need to feed your baby on camera?” the fan asked. “Sometimes people just want to see you play.”

In addition to 11-month-old Blake, Rooker and his wife, Allie Oliver, share 3-year-old daughter Blair. After the Derby, he shared a photo of the family of four on the field in a joint Instagram post with his team.

“Proud of our guy ,” the Athletics’ caption read.

Baseball has long been a family activity for Rooker. The couple brought Blair to the All-Star Game last year as well, and the toddler is a frequent presence at Athletics games, particularly on the field postgame.

Followers seemed to have the two-time All-Star’s back in the comments section.

“Personally, I think one of the best things is seeing people be loving parents who are there for their kids as much as possible,” Boston Red Sox reporter Gabrielle Star responded. “That’s the ultimate home run.”

Even a Los Angeles Dodgers fan came to his defense, writing, “My kids are 9 & 15 now. Never skip a chance to feed them that bottle while they’re little. The other s*** doesn’t matter.”

“I’m sure with a ballplayer’s schedule, he doesn’t get to give his child a bottle all that often,” a Detroit Tigers fan added. “Maybe it’s something he doesn’t want to miss out on if he doesn’t have to, or maybe he wanted to give his wife a break. Good on him for being a dad.”

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are a match made in world-class athlete heaven.

The Olympic gold medalist and the NFL player, who was then a Houston Texans safety, met via the dating app Raya in March 2020. “I didn’t know who she was,” Owens told Texas Monthly in June 2021. “I just hadn’t heard of her, and when I told her that, that’s one of the things she liked.”

Though the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the 2020 Olympics, the break in Biles’ training schedule allowed the pair to get closer. “It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything,” Owens explained. “So we used it to get to know each other — really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger. Now I’m so thankful.”

The gymnast is seemingly as fearless when it comes to dating as she is on the mat. “He would say I slid into his DMs,” she told the Wall Street Journal in July 2021. They hung out a couple weeks later and the rest was history. They tied the knot in April 2023.

Machine Gun Kelly and Pete Davidson have often hyped each other up throughout their time in the spotlight.

The friends, who initially met on the set of Wild ’N Out in 2017, told Coveteur two years later that they grew closer while working on 2019’s The Dirt. “And then we became the bestest of the friends,” the Saturday Night Live alum added at the time.

During the same interview, Davidson admitted that he rapped “every single word” of Kelly’s “Breaking News” when they first crossed paths. “Nah, Jeff Tremaine put me on the spot and was like, ‘Yeah, you’re a big fan?’ Yeah, I go, ‘Yeah.’ And then I just snapped off,” Davidson recalled.

Kelly told Billboard in 2018 that he and Davidson spent time together in New Orleans after The Dirt wrapped. “And we were both just, like, super stoners. …[We] listened to the same music. … So that’s my boy,” he said.

From there, the duo’s bond has gotten even stronger, through good times and bad. Scroll below to see more of the pair’s best bromance moments from over the years:

Fans of influencer Emilie Kiser and husband Brady Kiser have wondered whether the couple had a fence around their pool before the drowning death of son Trigg.

The Chandler, Arizona, Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly in May that Trigg died. Emilie has yet to publicly address her son’s death but filed a lawsuit in May asking the court to block the release of records. A judge later ruled to give Emilie temporary confidentiality “until a determination is made that balances the public’s need for information vs privacy interests,” in court documents obtained by Us.

In June, Brady told authorities he was home alone watching both Trigg and the couple’s 3-month-old son, Teddy, while Emilie was with friends, according to search warrant applications obtained by USA Today. (Sources close to the litigation also told Us that Emilie was not home at the time.)

One month later, the Chandler Police Department shared that they submitted a criminal charge recommendation for Brady. “The Chandler Police Department has completed its investigation into the tragic drowning of three-year-old Trigg Kiser. Following a thorough review of the evidence, investigators have recommended a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse against Brady Kiser,” the statement read. “The case has now been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review.” Us reached out to Brady for comment at the time.

Emilie Once Discussed Getting a Fence for Her Pool

Emilie previously told followers about her and Brady’s pool safety ideas ahead of son Trigg’s death after being pulled unconscious from their backyard pool.

“I don’t know if this is a controversial topic. I don’t think it is, but I wanted to get your guys’ opinions on what your favorite pool safety things are,” Emilie said in a since-deleted TikTok shared in May 2024. “No matter what, we are doing a pool fence because our backyard is pretty big so I feel like it is just smartest to have a fence right when you enter out the back doors. Can’t even get into the whole backyard.”

While Emilie applied makeup in a bathroom, she explained that they still wanted to have “something around the pool.”

“So what I’m thinking is a pool net. We found a company that has had literally zero fatalities in, I think, all the 50 years that they’ve been in business,” Emilie explained. “I have watched so many TikToks about this company. Thinking that that is what we are going to do on our pool and on our hot tub.”

As a child made noises in the background, Emilie opened the door and asked, “What is happening out here?” Emilie noted that her son is “obsessed with soccer” and she was hoping to get him involved in a team.

Was There a Fence Around Emilie Kiser’s Pool Before Trigg’s Death?

In June, Brady shared that he noticed Trigg was playing near the pool in the backyard after he was finished eating, something police records claimed was “not uncommon.” Brady noted that the pool typically had a protective cover over it.

What Happened to Emilie Kiser’s Son?

Bradly explained in June that he became “soon distracted” by son Teddy and lost sight of Trigg for three to five minutes on May 12, later finding him floating in the pool. Brady proceeded to jump in and call 911, per applications. Investigations filed search warrant applications on May 13 to obtain video surveillance from two outdoor cameras in the backyard to corroborate his statement, the records noted. Us confirmed that Trigg died on May 18. Us reached out to Brady for comment at the time.

Going her own way. Christina Hall has been in the spotlight for nearly a decade — and the attention hasn’t always been easy to navigate.

The HGTV star was married to Tarek El Moussa from 2009 to 2018, and the former couple share daughter Taylor and son Brayden. After calling it quits, the coparents continued to film their series Flip or Flop together. In March 2022, Hall and El Moussa announced the end of their show after 10 seasons.

“They mutually agreed they didn’t want to go forth with another season,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time, noting that the timing “couldn’t be better for the both of them” and that the duo “weren’t the happiest on set together.”

Following her split from El Moussa, the real estate mogul remarried twice: first to Ant Anstead in 2018 and to Joshua Hall in 2022. Christina split from the British TV star, with whom she welcomed son Hudson in 2019, after less than two years of marriage.

Maurene Comey, one of the federal prosecutors in the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial, has reportedly been fired.

The New York Times reported on Thursday, July 17, that Comey was abruptly fired by President Donald Trump’s administration one day prior. According to the newspaper, Comey was notified about her termination in a letter that cited Article II of the Constitution, which describes the powers of the president.

Multiple outlets noted that the reason for the firing was not immediately clear, but one source told CNN that Maurene’s position was untenable given that her father, former FBI director James Comey, is “constantly going after the administration.”

Prior to her firing, Maurene worked for the Southern District of New York on the criminal cases of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Epstein was arrested in 2019 and charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy to traffic minors for sex. One month later, he died by suicide in his jail cell at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

The Judge, Jury and Lawyers in Diddy Case Explained

Epstein’s associate Maxwell, meanwhile, was arrested in 2020 and charged with enticement of minors, sex trafficking of children and perjury. Prosecutors later added charges of sex trafficking a minor and sex trafficking conspiracy. She pleaded not guilty to all charges but was found guilty of five sex trafficking-related counts.

Most recently, Maurene was one of the prosecutors in the Diddy trial, which began in May and wrapped up earlier this month. Diddy, 55, was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering conspiracy. The disgraced mogul pleaded not guilty to the charges and has repeatedly denied all of the allegations against him.

On July 2, the jury found Diddy guilty of two counts of transportation but acquitted him of the sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He is set to be sentenced on October 3 and remains incarcerated at MDC after Judge Arun Subramanian denied his request for bail on the day the verdict was returned.

Earlier this month, reports claimed that Maurene’s father, James, is being investigated by the FBI for possible false statements to Congress. James, 64, served as FBI director from September 2013 until May 2017, when he was dismissed by Trump, 79, during his first administration.

Diddy Juror Claims Rapper's Celebrity Status Didn't Influence Verdict

In recent weeks, the second Trump administration has faced criticism for the decision not to release additional evidence from the government’s sex trafficking investigation of Epstein. Earlier this month, the Justice Department released a memo claiming that no Epstein client list existed.

Trump, meanwhile, has hit back at critics who remain invested in the case.

“I don’t understand why they would be so interested,” he told reporters on Tuesday, July 15. “He’s dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don’t understand what the interest or what the fascination is, I really don’t.”

Kordell Beckham detailed the psychological testing that goes into joining Peacock’s Love Island USA.

“There was a part of the process where we had to [answer] 960-something questions,” Kordell, 23, recalled on the Monday, July 14, episode of Jason Tartick’s “Trading Secrets” podcast of the psych test. “Then there was an additional 600 questions.”

Altogether, Kordell said he answered 1,500 total questions.

“It took about five hours [with the psychologist],” he noted, confirming that they ask follow-up questions. “Like, one time, I think one of the questions was if I was seeing stuff. She thought I meant I was schizophrenic or something. I just meant visions — as in the goals. She thought I was seeing dead people.”

Most Dramatic Casa Amor Moments From 'Love Island UK' and 'Love Island USA'

The hit dating series originally premiered in the U.K. in 2002 before it expanded with various spinoffs, including Love Island USA on Peacock. The series follows a different group of singles, known as Islanders, every season who have to pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa.

There are a multitude of rules that the Islanders follow, including being under constant video surveillance and not having access to the outside world. As a result, the cast usually isn’t privy to possible drama off screen.

The Islanders are also provided with resources, including therapy, to help as they navigate relationships in the villa and later adjust to the outside world amid their newfound fame. Beckham’s fellow season 6 Islander Leah Kateb previously told Us Weekly about her return from Fiji.

“The therapist still calls me regularly from the show,” she said in October 2024 before confirming that she worked with her own therapist outside the Villa. “If I don’t make a joke out of it, then it’ll eat me alive.”

Leah, who admitted she was “super irritable” after returning home, looked back on the show with fondness. “I definitely am really grateful [and] I do feel like everything happened for a reason,” she added.

The season 6 cast has since reunited for Peacock’s Beyond the Villa, which checks in on Kateb, Serena Page, JaNa Craig, Miguel Harichi, Kaylor Martin, Connor Newsum, Kenny Rodriguez, Olivia “Liv” Walker and Kendall Washington one year after becoming household names.

‘Love Island USA’ Status Check: Which Couples Are Still Together?

Kordell, however, won’t appear much despite his girlfriend Serena’s central presence.

“At [first] he was going to do it with me. I had fully confirmed, signed the contracts and everything, and then he got booked,” Serena told Teen Vogue on July 8. “I was very proud of him, but I was sad and it made me very anxious about filming because I was like, ‘Damn, I’m going to be alone.’”

She continued: “Granted, I have my girls, Leah and JaNa, but their men were on the show doing it with them. There were a lot of times where I was like, ‘Damn, I don’t know. We’re supposed to be navigating our relationship, but you’re about to be in a whole different state. What am I going to do?’”

Serena praised Kordell for doing “an amazing job reassuring” her that he would join her on the show when he could.

“He was like, ‘Any crumb of a chance I can get, I’m going to be on that screen with you.’ And honestly, you’re going to see a lot more of him than you would’ve expected,” she shared. “It’s maybe [only] a handful of scenes that I’ve done without him. Y’all will get to see some behind-the-scenes of me and him working together. Y’all get to see dates. He even ends up coming to Miami, too.”

Simone Biles’ big night at the 2025 ESPYs included a wink to the recent social media debate about trans athletes in sports involving the decorated Olympian.

When Biles, 28, took to the Dolby Theatre stage in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 16, to collect her award for Best Championship Performance, she started by acknowledging her fellow nominees. 

“That was very unexpected, especially in a category of all men,” Biles said with a laugh, which earned a big reaction from the crowd. 

Biles triumphed over the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman, basketball star Stephen Curry and golfer Rory McIlroy to take home the ESPY trophy.

It was easy to connect the dots between Biles’ comment to her back-and-forth with former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines about trans athletes last month. 

The dust-up started when Gaines, 25, alleged a Minnesota high school softball team won the state championship because their “star player is a boy.”

“You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race,” Biles responded via X. “Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!!”

Biles continued, “But instead… You bully them… One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!”

Since ending her swimming career at the University of Kentucky, Gaines has become an advocate for keeping trans women out of sports in recent years. In 2022, Gaines competed against Lia Thomas, the first openly trans woman champion in the NCAA women’s division.In a separate, Biles called on Gaines to “bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.”

Days after their social media back-and-forth went viral and sparked conversation, Biles extended an olive branch. 

“I’ve always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport,” Biles wrote via X. “The current system doesn’t adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn’t help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for.”

Celebrities and Athletes React to the Simone Biles and Riley Gaines Feud

She continued, “These are sensitive, complicated issues that I truly don’t have the answers or solutions to, but I believe it starts with empathy and respect.”

Biles, who also won Best Athlete – Women’s Sports at the 2025 ESPYs, said she was “honored” to receive the award for Championship Performance.

“The recognition means more than you guys know,” she said during her speech. “I would like to thank the people that have stood with me on this journey — my teammates, my competitors, my coaches, family and fans who have lifted me up every step of the way. I wouldn’t be standing here without all of you.”

Biles concluded her speech by saying, “I believe in the power of sport, the power of us and, of course, the power of she.”

Yes, Jesse Metcalfe knows he was name-dropped in Scheana Shay‘s upcoming memoir, My Good Side.

“She spoke highly of me, which was nice,” Metcalfe, 46, said during the Wednesday, July 16, episode of Tori Spelling’s “Misspelling” podcast.

Entertainment Weekly published an excerpt from Shay’s memoir earlier this month, which revealed that she and Metcalfe dated in 2007. Shay wrote that their short-lived romance was “a great time” overall.

“It felt like I was living a real-life fantasy with this guy I’d watched on TV and in movies for years,” the Vanderpump Rules star wrote.

Scheana Shay Reveals Husband Brock Cheated on Her While She Was Pregnant

During Wednesday’s podcast appearance, Metcalfe joked that he “tried to keep [the book excerpt]” from girlfriend Helene Immel.

“[It was a] long time ago, 20 years ago,” Metcalfe continued. “We were dating. I mean, it was — overall — it was pretty brief, but we were seeing each other on a regular basis.”

Shay wrote that Metcalfe was “an awesome guy,” according to the EW excerpt.

“Our relationship didn’t happen right away. Soon after we first met, he went to rehab, so we started hanging out often only after he finished,” she wrote. “The first date he took me on post rehab was the Cloverfield red carpet movie premiere. I then spent my twenty-second birthday at dinner with him, and I vividly remember sticking to water and Red Bull all night as a way of supporting his sobriety.”

According to the Bravo star, Metcalfe went with Shay and her friends to a karaoke bar following the birthday dinner.

“Since everyone was drinking alcohol, and I could tell it was a little overwhelming for him. The fact that a group of my friends decided to sing Rick Springfield’s ‘Jessie’s Girl’ didn’t help, either,” she added. “But I was totally cool with leaving and told him that I just wanted to spend my birthday with him.”

Metcalfe also bought Shay “a pair of Marc Jacobs sunglasses that I have to this day” as a gift.

“I could have asked for something much more expensive, like a Louis Vuitton bag, but I wanted to be respectful,” Shay wrote. Despite the time they shared together, the reality star wrote that “things faded out,” causing the relationship to end.

Shay also spoke exclusively for this week’s Us Weekly cover story, reflecting on her romantic past, in part. Shay also shared what she hopes 4-year-old daughter Summer Moon will take away from her romantic history.

“I just want her to be with someone who treats her with respect,” the VPR alum said.

My Good Side is available for pre-order ahead of the memoir’s July 22 release. For more from Shay, pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now.

These are their confessions. The Kardashian-Jenner family has spent over a decade being accused of heavily Photoshopping and Facetuning their photos on social media — and sometimes, they openly admit to it.

Khloé Kardashian in particular has copped to heavily editing her pictures. In 2016, the Good American founder called Facetune “life-changing” in an interview with Chelsea Handler.

“It’s not real, you are presenting to the world what you want them to believe you are. It’s amazing,” she said at the time. “I think our society nowadays is so caught up on getting validation from the social world that no one really knows, so they post these things.”

Khloé and Kim Kardashian have even owned up to altering photos of their kids on social media. The Kocktails with Khloé alum’s daughter, True, has even been added into the family’s Disneyland posts on Instagram multiple times.

In April 2022, the Kardashians star told fans that she superimposed True, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson, into photos taken of Kim’s daughter Chicago earlier that year. “Welllppp I f—ked this one up,” Khloé joked via Twitter at the time.

Weeks later, Kim revealed that she also Photoshopped True into more images from the same trip. The KKW Beauty founder replaced Kylie Jenner’s daughter, Stormi, with pictures of True because the Kylie Cosmetics mogul didn’t want her older sister to post the photos of Stormi.

Still, the Kardashians are also quick to shoot down accusations of Photoshop fails when necessary — like when Kim clapped back at followers who believed she edited out her belly button in an April 2022 photo shoot.

“Come on guys. Seriously! This is so dumb! Claiming I photoshopped out my belly button????” she wrote via her Instagram Story at the time. “Belly button insecurities?! Well… why don’t you head on over to skims.com to conceal that saggy belly button of yours with a great pair of high waisted underwear like I did! You’re welcome!!!”

Khloé too has frequently called out trolls via social media.

In May 2020, after posting an Instagram photo of herself — which made headlines after thousands of followers claimed the Strong Looks Better Naked author’s face looked significantly different — Khloé had something to say when a fan asked what caused her ever-changing look.

“My weekly face transplant clearly,” she retorted at the time.

Two months later, the Revenge Body alum hit back again after a social media user told her that she looked unrecognizable in an August 2020 photo.

“Who is that on the right?” the follower wrote, to which the reality star replied, “Your new step mother. Be nice or get grounded.”

Khloé Kardashian is in her unfiltered era.

Kardashian, 41, responded to rumors that she “Photoshops every picture” she posts on social media during the Thursday, July 17, episode of her “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast, confirming that she usually doesn’t — at least, not anymore.

“There was a time that I definitely did,” the Good American founder said. “There was a time that I was around some people that would make me feel like I needed to. I also think it was the era too. I felt like a lot of people were Photoshopping or heavily Photoshopping more than they do now.”

Kardashian continued, “I do feel like there was a time that we all just got consumed in this filter lifestyle and we couldn’t see ourselves without a filter. And there’s definitely days that I’m like, ugh, I need a filter. Don’t feel good about myself. But I’m on video. And I do like myself better in video than stills.”

Kris Jenner Accused of Using Facetune in Latest Snap, Editing App Comments

Kardashian admitted that she doesn’t think she’s the “most photogenic” person, but she will often “take 500 photos to get the one that I like.”

“That’s OK. I’m allowed to do that. But I will say there was a time that I heavily photoshopped,” she added.

Reflecting on the time when she Photoshopped her pictures, Kardashian joked that she looked like a “cartoon character” in many of the snaps.

“It’s humiliating that I thought that was even a version of myself,” she said.

“I feel bad that I thought I needed to look like that,” Kardashian continued. “But I was around people who were all doing that. And if they took my photo, they would make me look that way before giving it to me. And then I would think that’s how I looked. And if I got paparazzied, I’d be like, ‘I don’t look like that. I look like this photo.’ And I really had to reprogram my mind to be like, ‘OK, we have to lay off the filters. This isn’t real. That’s not how I look. And I don’t want to look like that.’ It was a strange time.”

Kardashian concluded that she used to be “consumed in the filter world and having my face look a way that it just wasn’t.”

As for how she gets good photos for social media these days, Kardashian said it boils down to “good lighting.”

“I definitely have more controlled photos, like good lighting, and I might take a bunch to get the ones I like. But I don’t have to photoshop every photo,” she said.

The mom of two, who shares kids True, 7, and Tatum, 2, with ex Tristan Thompson, has been accused by fans of using Photoshop a handful of times in the past. In April 2022, Kardashian admitted that her April 2021 photos of True at Disneyland were Photoshopped.

Fans Think Khloe Kardashian Looks Unrecognizable in New Video

“Welllppp I f***ed this one up. Anyways … let’s focus on something else. Our show, [The Kardashians], airs in a few days,” she tweeted at the time.

Prior to that, in 2016, Kardashian opened up to Chelsea Handler about why she loved the FaceTune app, calling it “life-changing” and “the only way to live.”

“It’s not real, you are presenting to the world what you want them to believe you are. It’s amazing,” she said on Chelsea Does at the time. “I think our society nowadays is so caught up on getting validation from the social world that no one really knows, so they post these things.”

Kylie Kelce knows people mean well when they tell her she looks “amazing” after having her fourth baby, but she kindly asks them to cut it out.

Kelce, 33, gave an impassioned plea to listeners of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast on Thursday, July 17, for people not to compliment women’s physical appearances after pregnancy.

“Here’s the problem: Every single person I’ve seen grow a human being and pop them out have rebounded in their own time,” she said. “And for all the people who are in the comments saying things like ‘you look fantastic after having Finn’ or ‘you look amazing after having your fourth,’ first of all, I know that you mean that nicely, but at the end of the day, if I looked like this and hadn’t just had my fourth child, would you say I look tired?”

Kylie admitted she is “very tired,” four months after having Finn, her fourth daughter, with husband Jason Kelce. The couple also shares daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2.

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

“My point is that we don’t need to comment on the fact that a woman is postpartum and how she is doing with her postpartum journey, physically,” she continued. “And I think we could be more concerned about the overall well-being of women postpartum. I don’t think we need to bounce back.”

“And also, there are some things that we as women who have just grown humans cannot bounce back,” she added. “I cannot bounce back my stretch marks. They’re with me forever. Do I like them? Let’s be honest, no. I liked when my tummy didn’t have a bunch of little ridges in it. But guess what? It does. Do I still look damn good? Yes.”

The problem, Kylie said, is that the “bouncing back” comments draw a comparison either to a woman who hasn’t given birth or to that woman from before she was pregnant. She feels neither is relevant.

Every Time Kylie Kelce Had a Winning Clapback to Critics and Online Trolls

“Cut it out,” she said. “We do not need to compare ourselves, ladies. You do not need to compare yourself to the person you were before you had kids, because, newsflash: She didn’t f***ing have kids. OK? And you don’t have to compare yourself to those around you because there is beauty in the fact that we are unique from each other.”

In the months since having Finn, Kylie has continued to encourage others to stop being “weird” around new mothers. On the July 10 episode of “Not Gonna Lie,” she offered advice to men who do not know how to behave around breast-feeding women.

“No. 1, continue doing exactly what you were doing before mom started feeding her baby,” she said. “This includes not saying any awkward s*** or offering any unsolicited commentary. Feeling free not to run away. Remain seated if you were previously. Not staring at her boobs or even the opposite, blatantly staring up at the ceiling. Don’t do that. You’re making it weird. You’re being weird.”

“He is excited about this next chapter,” the insider exclusively shared with Us on Wednesday.

Davidson has long been hopeful that his future would include parenthood.

“I’m definitely a family guy. My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, I wanna have a kid. That’s like, my dream,” Davidson said on a 2022 episode of Kevin Hart’s Hart to Heart. “It’s like, super corny, [but] it would be so fun. Dress up the little dude.”

He added, “I’m so excited for that chapter. That’s kind of what I’m just preparing for now, is just trying to be as good as a dude, develop and get better so when that happens it’s just easier. … Since my dad died, I was like, ‘Oh, I can’t wait to have a kid.’”

Davidson publicly confirmed his relationship with Hewitt in March, making their red carpet debut two months later at the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s Blossom Ball.

“He is so incredible,” Hewitt told People on the red carpet in May. “Honestly, best person I’ve ever met, and I’m so grateful that he’s here tonight. It was just really important to both of us to come here and support the [Endometriosis Foundation of America] and keep helping, spreading the word and educating people.”

Love Island USA’s Miguel Harichi was not playing around while addressing rumors that he has been unfaithful to Leah Kateb.

Miguel, 27, shared a since-deleted TikTok on Wednesday, July 16, where he called out a social media user claiming to have seen him cheating on Leah, 25.

“This fool here, she has a lot to say. According to this absolute buffoon, I was caught with the season 7 cast [of Love Island USA] chatting it up with other girls and giving her the eyes and taking numbers and all this nonsense,” Miguel said. “First and foremost, I am in New York right now. Secondly, why would you say I am with people that I wasn’t with? I haven’t even met any of the season 7 cast.”

Miguel made it clear he had no patience for the false accusations.

'Love Island USA' Season 6 Stars Leah and Miguel’s Relationship Timeline

“This fool right here is claiming I was out in the streets moving loose,” he continued. “I don’t know why she feels the need to say this stuff and I was going to ignore it, but I keep getting tagged nonstop and my girl is getting tagged.”

In the video, Miguel showed several comments from the person “trying to battle” him about allegedly being out in Los Angeles without Leah, to which he replied, “I don’t think I even know what [this club] is. I haven’t met Taylor [Williams]. What are you on? There is nothing to explain. She needs to explain her lies and delusions and nonsense.”

Miguel concluded: “Anyone that thinks it is OK to lie to boost themselves up at the expense of others is sick and needs help. You need help. Don’t do it. At least see me out in the club. I haven’t been in a club since I left the villa.”

Leah subsequently jumped in to share her thoughts on the situation.

“She’s been making videos about me since I got in the villa and I don’t know this bitch but please give her the attention she wants so badly,” she added. “I feel so bad because she only gets attention when she talks about other people — just shut the f*** up. Clout is a drug and that bitch is high.”

Celebrity Couples Who Prove That Love Isn’t Dead

Love Island USA viewers had a front row seat to Leah and Miguel’s love story since they met on season 6, which aired in June 2024. After leaving the villa as a couple, their connection has only gotten stronger.

“I never get tired of him and I feel like he offers me so much insight. He is really wise and he calms me down in so many ways,” Leah exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2024 about being “obsessed” with Miguel. “I feel like he always has me laughing and he is so patient with me and very receptive to everything. He is the happiest, most pure person.”

Two months later, Miguel noted how serious he was about a future with Leah after fans noticed him calling her his “wife.”

“She’s not my wife legally. We haven’t gone and got married, but for me, I just view her as my wife. When I date, I date for marriage,” he told Us in December 2024. “I don’t see any short-term things. Even though we aren’t married yet, I just view her as my woman, my second half, my wife. For me, it’s another way of putting her as my queen, my princess.”
