Kelly Stafford and her four daughters are ready to cheer on Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford after their recent hospital visit.

“We made it on the bus,” Kelly, 35, wrote alongside a video of her family settling in their seats via her Instagram Story on Monday, January 13.

Kelly panned the camera over to her and Matthew’s kids, twins Sawyer and Chandler, 6, Hunter, 4, and Tyler, 2, as they waited to hit the road. The little ones excitedly cheered, “Go Rams!” and “Let’s Go Daddy!”

In addition to showing off her family gearing up for the sporting event, Kelly also shared a glimpse of a blue hat with a Los Angeles Fire Department patch attached via a giant gold safety pin.

Kelly Stafford Takes Kids to Hospital After Joining Matt for NFL Playoffs

Kelly and the girls traveled to Arizona earlier this week so they could see Matthew, 36, and the L.A. Rams face off against the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL Wild Card game on Monday. The game was originally scheduled to be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood but was relocated amid the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. In addition to traveling to Arizona herself, Kelly also arranged several charter buses to transport Rams season ticket holders to the match.

Hours before the group took off to Arizona, Kelly shared that her daughters were in the emergency room with an undisclosed illness. The internet personality also did not disclose which of her children was feeling under the weather.

“Last night was long,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Saturday, January 11. “Back in beds and sleeping, everyone except Hunter. Feels like she drank a Celsius. … Before that tho, they were all smiles getting to go with daddy on his work trip.”

The following day, Kelly shared a pic of her daughters while out to eat on their trip.

“Found our happy place in AZ,” Kelly wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, January 12, along with a snap of two of her daughters looking less than pleased at a Waffle House restaurant. “I promise we are happy.”

Last week, Kelly revealed she and two of her daughters had come down with the flu.

“I can’t think straight,” Kelly said on the January 7 episode of her “Morning After” podcast. “I currently believe I have the flu. Two of my daughters have the flu. I wasn’t able to move yesterday at the game.”

Despite not feeling her best at the time, Kelly still cheered on Matthew to the best of her ability.

“I passed out on a little bench in the suite,” she confessed. “We had, like, all of our friends in town and I was a real downer. Body aches are serious.”

Retired actress Dalyce Curry has died in the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. She was 95.

“About an hour ago the coroner confirmed her remains were indeed found at the property. #RIPMOMMADEE 🕊,” Curry’s great-granddaughter, Dalyce Kelley, wrote via Facebook on Sunday, January 12. “We had a great run. She impacted my life in so many ways. This loss is devastating.”

Curry appeared in various films including The Ten Commandments, Lady Sings the Blues and most notably, The Blues Brothers. But to Curry’s family, she was best known as Momma D.

When the wildfires broke out in Los Angeles last week, Kelley — who served as Curry’s caretaker — shared via social media on January 8 that her great-grandmother’s home in Altadena was destroyed by the Eaton Fire. She explained that during that time they could not locate nor get in contact with Curry.

“My grandmothers house burned down has anyone seen MOMMA DEE,” Kelley wrote via Facebook at the time. “At the shelter searching a third time. Not here.”

Kelley had last seen her great-grandmother the day before, which was when the devastating fire in the Pacific Palisades first began. Kelley was later escorted by officials to what was left of Curry’s home.

“It was total devastation,” she said to local news outlet ABC 7. “Everything was gone except her blue Cadillac.”

Kelley also shared footage of the destruction via her Facebook page. While on the property, Kelley called out to see if Curry was somewhere in the rubble.

On January 7, an extreme wind storm caused by Santa Ana gusts sparked fast-burning brush fires along Sunset Boulevard and Palisades Drive. Many drivers abandoned their vehicles to seek safety, according to the Los Angeles Times. That same day, the Eaton Fire also began. The cause for both blazes are under investigation.

Currently, the Eaton Fire is 33 percent contained while the Pacific Palisades Fire is only 14 percent contained. According to CNN, 24 people have died as a result of the ongoing fires. California Governor Gavin Newsom said there are “likely to be a lot more” deaths, as people are still missing and search and rescue efforts remain underway.

Former Australian child actor Rory Sykes also died in the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. He was 32 years old.

“It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of my beautiful son @Rorysykes to the Malibu fires yesterday. I’m totally heartbroken,” Rory’s mother, author Shelley Sykes, wrote via X on Thursday, January 9. “[He was a] British-born Australian living in America, a wonderful son, a gift born on mine and his grandma’s birthday 29 July 92.”

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are proudly putting their love on display.

In photos obtained by The Daily Mail on Monday, January 13, the couple were spotted out and about in San Fernando, California. Foster, 49, and Jackman, 56, were photographed in a car while in the drive-thru line at a local In and Out.

While they waited for their meal, Jackman and Foster seemingly couldn’t keep their hands off each other. The pair shared several kisses as they sat in the front seat of the vehicle. Jackman was on the driver’s side while Foster sat in the passenger’s seat.

Foster and Jackman were also photographed in a parking structure, where they also shared multiple smooches. Before Foster got into the car, Jackman came up to her and gave her a hug and a kiss on the lips. Foster returned the kiss by caressing the Deadpool and Wolverine star’s cheek.

Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman’s Relationship Timeline

After the passionate embrace, Foster got into the automobile. The pair’s outing took place prior to the Los Angeles wildfires, per the outlet.

Earlier this month, Jackman and Foster subtly confirmed their relationship. Jackman was spotted supporting Foster during the West Coast run of Once Upon a Mattress. A few days later, the twosome were seen holding hands while on a date in Los Angeles, per pics obtained by People. The outlet also reported that Foster and Jackman enjoyed dinner together in Santa Monica.

Us Weekly confirmed in November 2024 that Jackman and Foster were dating. Sources told Us at the time that a romance blossomed between the Broadway stars when they worked together on The Music Man the year prior.

While working on the revival of the classic musical, both Jackman and Foster were married to other people. Jackman and longtime love Debora-Lee Furness tied the knot in 1996 but called it quits in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage.

“We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” Jackman and Furness said in a joint statement at the time. “Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. Our family has been and always will be our highest priority.”

Sutton Foster's Divorce Case Is Ongoing Amid Hugh Jackman Romance

The exes share two adult children. Foster, for her part, filed for divorce from Tim Griffin in October 2024. She and Griffin share daughter Emily, whom they welcomed via adoption.

According to a source, Foster and Jackman’s relationship was “the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced.”

“A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people,” the insider claimed to Us in November 2024. “Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”

Aubrey Plaza and family are paying tribute to Jeff Baena.

“It is with profound sadness and grief that we announce the sudden and unexpected death of Jeff Baena, a beloved son, husband, brother, uncle and friend to many,” Baena’s obituary, which was published in the Miami Herald, read. “Jeff left us too soon but despite his woefully too-short life, he left us with treasured memories of a gifted filmmaker, as well as a very special person on so many different levels.”

While the obit honored Baena for his credits in the entertainment industry, his loved ones shared some insight on how he found his passion for film which he “fell in love with” when he was “11 years old watching A Clockwork Orange and Felini’s 8 1/2.”

“Each of his films reflects a carefully crafted balance of the logical and the implausible. His juxtaposition of intellect and creativity challenged us. He embraced independent film making because of his unalterable distaste for institutional guardrails on creativity,” the message continued. “Those who worked with him praise his vision, taste, technical competence, and ability to coalesce actors into an ensemble that performs in perfect harmony. A family atmosphere always ensued. He loved nature and highlighted it cinema-graphically in his films whenever and wherever possible.”

In addition to work, which he did a lot with Plaza, Baena also “loved the company of his friends.”

“Jeff was a true relationship builder with a gift for bringing people together on and off the movie set,” the obit said. “His magic sauce was ensuring everyone was having fun and no one ever left his get-togethers as a stranger.”

Baena’s obituary also revealed that he also had an affinity for the novel, The Little Prince, and included a touching quote from the beloved children’s book.

“When he was a boy, Jeff loved reading The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Ironically, in it, the Little Prince exclaims, ‘I haven’t much time. I have friends to find and so many things to learn.’ And so it was for Jeff,” the post read.

Baena is survived by Plaza, his parents, siblings, nephews and nieces.

“We shall always love and deeply miss Jeff,” the obit concluded. “His presence, as well as his work, made the world feel better. He had lots more to offer. Alas, all that is gone. Sweet dreams, our Little Prince.”

Baena died on January 3. He was 47 years old. According to medical examiner records reviewed by Us Weekly, Baena’s official cause of death is listed as suicide. After news broke of Baena’s passing, Plaza’s rep released a statement on her behalf.

“This is an unimaginable tragedy,” the statement to Us read. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”

Following their split, both Randi and Pat moved on and welcomed children with other partners. Randi is the mom of daughter Mia Randall while Pat is the father of Zoe Mahomes and Graham Walker.

Pat Mahomes

Pat played in the MLB from 1992 to 2003. He’s pitched for several teams including the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates. He also played overseas in Japan for the Yokohama BayStars.

While Patrick was playing football, baseball and basketball in school, his father thought he showed the most promise as a baseball player and encouraged him to drop the other sports.

“He grew up in the clubhouse, he was always around the game, and he was always the best player on his baseball team,” Pat told the Los Angeles Times in February 2023 of his son’s athletic talent. “He was an unbelievable shortstop, he always led his team in hitting, and he threw 97 mph on the mound, so I always thought he was gonna be a baseball player.”

Patrick was selected by the Detroit Tigers in the 2014 MLB draft. However, he ultimately decided not to follow in his dad’s footsteps and focus on football instead. As Patrick emerged as the superstar quarterback of the Chiefs, his dad has supported him throughout his career and cheered him on at several of his games.

Randi Mahomes

Patrick’s mom is an event planner for Hollytree Country Club where she’s worked since 2005. In addition to her day job, Randi also runs her website, QB Producer, where she strives to “set a positive example” and “make a difference.”

Like her ex-husband, Randi supports Patrick by cheering him on during his game days. Ahead of Super Bowl LVII, Randi posted a throwback photo of her and Patrick from one of his high school football games.

“This feels like yesterday but today I’m headed off to watch (try too 🫣) my boy,” she captioned the pic. “Cheering for my kids never gets old. I wouldn’t have it any other way #chiefs #15 #ibelieve #blessed.”

Jackson is Randi and Pat’s youngest son. He is best known for being an internet personality and runs a TikTok page. Jackson and his older brother are very close and was the best man at Patrick and Brittany’s wedding.

“It’s just like being related to anybody else,” Jackson explained of his bond with his big bro in a May 2020 YouTube video. “He’s a cool person, like, we’re super close. We have a great relationship, so I think that’s pretty cool.”

Over the years, Jackson has had his fair share of ups and downs including controversial behavior at Chiefs games and being arrested on charges of aggravated sexual battery in March 2023. (The charges against Jackson were officially dropped in January 2024.)

Graham Walker

Pat is also the father of Graham who, like his half brother, also plays football. Graham is the wide receiver for Brown University’s football team, where he’s played for three seasons. Unlike his other siblings, Graham keeps it more low-key.

“He’s a little bit more laid back than the others,” Pat said of his son in a January 2024 interview with FOX4. “Stays away from the spotlight and goes out and grinds and works. But a very impressive young man.”

Why Bill Hader Missed the 2025 Golden Globes With Ali Wong

10 January 2025 at 17:56
The Truth Behind Why Bill Hader Missed the 2025 Golden Globes With Girlfriend Ali Wong

Bill Hader had a very good reason for not being at the 2025 Golden Globes with girlfriend Ali Wong.

“Bill was not able to attend the Globes due to a pre-existing eye condition that flared up and he was advised by his doctor to stay home and rest,” Hader’s rep told People on Friday, January 10. “He and Ali are still together.”

Hader, 46, and Wong, 41, sparked breakup rumors after the comedian attended the awards show last weekend without Hader by her side. While Wong walked the red carpet solo, she ended up bringing a close friend as her plus-one.

When Wong took home the award for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television for her Netflix special Ali Wong: Single Lady, she made no mention of Hader in her speech. Instead, she gave her pal a shout-out.

“My best friend is here! Mia, thank you so much for all of your love and support throughout the years,” Wong said during her speech. “This means a lot. Thank you so much.”

At last year’s Golden Globes, Hader was by Wong’s side when she won for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television for her role as Amy Lau on the Netflix show Beef in 2024. While Wong didn’t mention Hader in her speech then either, the couple celebrated her accomplishment by sharing a sweet kiss and multiple hugs.

Wong and Hader were first linked in 2022 following her separation from Justin Hakuta. Wong and Hader briefly split later that year, but Us Weekly confirmed in April 2023 that they rekindled their romance.

In her now-award-winning stand-up special, Wong joked about how she and Hader got together.

“Hey, Ali, I just happened to hear the news of your divorce today, and I gotta tell you … I’m excited,” she recalled Hader telling her in a phone call after he got her number from a mutual friend. “I am, Ali, because look, I have had a crush on you forever, and I actually told my best friend years ago that you were my dream girl. And I know this sounds crazy, but, uh, I want you to be my girlfriend.”

Wong shared that while she was on tour in Europe, Hader followed up by sending her flowers in multiple cities. While her female friends thought the gesture was “so sweet,” her male friends warned her that Hader could be a “psychopath.”

“That’s how cheap and lazy men have become,” Wong quipped. “That now when a fellow man commits any act of kindness, any romantic gesture, it must be a symptom of an undiagnosed mental illness.”

Josh Hall Has a New Girlfriend After Tumultuous Split From Christina Haack

Josh Hall is taking another chance on love following his split from Christina Haack.

“Josh met someone wonderful in Nashville, and they have been happily dating for some time,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “Josh wasn’t trying to date, but he met someone, and it was a perfect match.”

The source adds that Hall, 44, is “trying to live a more private life” since he “has no desire to be a celebrity” after he and Haack, 41, called it quits in July 2024 following two years of marriage. As Hall has moved on from Haack, he’s been keeping his new romance out of the spotlight.

“He hasn’t made a show of the relationship, but it’s not a secret. Josh is just low-key,” the source adds. “He is very happy with his life and looking forward to 2025 and what’s on the horizon. This is the happiest he’s been in some time.”

Joshua Hall Reflects on 'Tough' 2024 Amid Christina Hall Divorce

According to an additional insider, Hall is dating Stephanie Gabrys, a model based in Nashville. While not much is known about Hall and Gabrys’ relationship, the pair have interacted on social media. Within days of his birthday last September, they both posted separate Instagram photos from Big Sur, California. She also tagged Hall in a Story showing off a stunning bouquet of flowers with the message, “You don’t have to ask him if he loves you.”

On New Year’s Day, Hall reflected on how the previous year was “tough” for him but noted he was grateful for how much he grew as a person.

“Sometimes the tough situations can change you. You end up becoming a different person. A better version of yourself. You learn things about yourself you didn’t know before,” he wrote via Instagram. “It has opened my eyes to many things. Even though it was tough, I know that it taught me many lessons and for that I’m grateful. I always tell myself that God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.”

Gabrys, for her part, took to the comments section to cheer Hall on as the new year began.

“Proud of you and the strong, patient, hard working, generous and kind hearted man you are!” she replied. “2025 is going to be the best year yet! ❤.”

Hall “liked” Gabrys’ response.

Currently, Hall and Haack are in the middle of a contentious divorce. Haack hired lawyer to the stars Laura Wasser to assist in finalizing their split as soon as possible. While the pair are no longer together, their relationship is still in the public eye as the premiere of the new HGTV series, The Flip Off, draws closer.

Both Hall and Haack were supposed to star in the show alongside Hall’s ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his current wife, Heather Rae El Moussa. While filming for the home improvement show began before their split, Hall was subsequently dropped from the project following news of their divorce. Us previously confirmed that The Flip Off was moving forward with Haack, Tarek and Heather.

Earlier this month, HGTV released a first look at the series that teased Hall and Haack’s relationship ups and downs. After the clip dropped, Hall took to social media to slam the network.

“TFW you can’t get enough ratings with celebrity 🏠designers so you manufactured drama with me, a nobody,” he wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, January 6, seemingly referring to an intense exchange between the exes in the series’ trailer. “@hgtv, you’ve changed.”

Haack reposted Hall’s response and fired back.

“Manufactured?! Pretty sure no one at Hgtv told you to be rude to me …” she responded via her own Instagram Story alongside a screenshot of Hall’s post. “That was all natural.”

As Hall has moved on, Haack is open to the idea of finding love again one day, but she doesn’t plan on walking down the aisle in the near future.

“I’ll always love love,” Haack exclusively revealed in a cover interview with Us Weekly earlier this week. “I probably will [get married again] eventually. But, not anytime soon.”

RHONJ's Jennifer Aydin Reacts to Andy Cohen's Take on Jersey Mike's Drama

10 January 2025 at 12:41

Jennifer Aydin is weighing in on Andy Cohen calling her Jersey Mike’s drama a “self-inflicted wound.”

“I did not see it. Somebody told me about it. I did not hear that,” the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 47, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, January 8. “But you know what? I would say that’s accurate.”

Aydin made headlines earlier this month for her unexpected feud with multiple Jersey Mike’s employees. The Bravo personality posted a video on her social media page claiming she waited for “what felt like forever” for service from the sandwich shop. An employee who was there subsequently fired back at Aydin via TikTok.

Cohen, 56, later took to his radio show to call the moment an “a self-inflicted wound.”

RHONJ's Jennifer Aydin Clarifies Jersey Mike's Drama: 'Hindsight Is 20/20'

“She melted down. And you know what, before you hit send on the post, take a beat and say, ‘How is this gonna land?’” Cohen said during the Monday, January 6, episode of his SiriusXM show Radio Andy. “How are you going to cause so much trouble for yourself? … You’re at the airport, you’re getting a sandwich. … It’s just, how is this gonna land?”

Upon further reflection, Aydin acknowledged she should not have posted the video of her interaction with several fast food workers.

“I have to realize that me posting it is, in fact, a self-inflicted wound. I did not think it was going to go down that way,” she explained on Wednesday. “I thought that people would see the video and be like, ‘How rude was this guy to you?’ And he doesn’t even know you, so it’s fine. It’s all good. Lesson learned.”

While sitting down with Us, Aydin gave us her recollection of what happened. According to the reality star, the incident happened while traveling with husband Bill Aydin, their five kids and additional family members over the holidays.

“[Bill] took all the kids, went to another stand that had a table, ordered food. It was about 5:30 in the morning,” Jennifer said. “Jersey Mike’s did not open until 5:30, and my cousin and I got on the line pretty much around 5:45 a.m. and there were not that many people on the line. Again, it was a little slow-moving, but we weren’t going to complain.”

When Jennifer did place her order, Bill was not with her. When he later joined her, Bill shared that one of their kids ended up wanting a sandwich and Jennifer tried to add the item after already placing her order. The employee allegedly told Jennifer if she wanted another sandwich she would have to get in line again or ask the man who was next in line if it was OK if she went to the counter to order another item.

‘RHONJ' Star Danielle Cabral Reacts to Jen Aydin’s Jersey Mike’s Drama

“In the video, they were still working on my sandwich. It’s not like I had paid. I didn’t check out,” she claimed. “So for them to tell me to wait to the end of the line or that I had to ask this guy’s permission — that just really started an altercation. They shouldn’t have done that and that’s just customer service. I’m realizing now that I can’t say, ‘I’m a celebrity.’ People are very angry. … I will no longer say I’m a celebrity since people are so angry about it. But, obviously, this wouldn’t have gone so viral as it did if I wasn’t a public figure.”

After Jennifer’s social media blow-up went viral, the fallout included her being dropped from an upcoming reality stars cruise. In addition to the firing, the RHONJ cast’s future remains up in the air after the show was put on pause following season 14. While the show’s direction is in limbo, Jennifer has faith that everything will work out and says she has “respect” no matter what Bravo decides.

“I feel like by the time they’ve regrouped to even consider who they’re going to recast or if they’re going to recast, this will be such water under the bridge. So I don’t really think that’s a thing,” she told Us. “Plus, by the time they reconfigure who’s going to be on the staff, I don’t know where I’m going to be at that point in my life. I am a big believer in that God protects me and my blessings are in the proof of my lifestyle in the good that I do. I always constantly pay it forward.”

Tom Holland Asked Zendaya's Dad for Permission to Propose

10 January 2025 at 11:06
Tom Hollands Dad Says Actor Asked Zendaya's Dad for Permission to Propose

Tom Holland’s dad, Dominic Holland, is giving insight on his son’s recent engagement to Zendaya.

“The big news this week is a good example of just such an opportunity for me — are they/aren’t they engaged? Zendaya wearing a ring and Tom nowhere to be seen adding to the intrigue,” Dominic, 57, wrote in a Friday, January 10, blog post via his Patreon account. “The engagement has now been confirmed and why I am writing about it here but without adding anything new and juicy like a date, venue, guest list …”

On his Patreon page, Dominic, who is an author and comedian, usually shares unseen blogs, snippets from his books, podcasts that sometimes features members of his family. But in the recent post, he wanted to highlight the news of Tom and Zendaya’s relationship milestone.

Dominic confessed that while he’s been “showered with parenthood praise” over the years, he joked that it’s more of a “fluke” how great Tom and his other kids turned out. (In addition to Tom, Dominic is also the father of Paddy Holland, Harry Holland and Sam Holland.)

Tom Holland's 'Low-Key' Proposal Was Exactly What Zendaya Wanted: Source

However, Dominic teased that Tom’s plan to pop the question to Zendaya, 28, was thoroughly thought out.

“And this I can demonstrate now by contrasting the different approaches of father and son to proposing marriage.Tom, as you know by now was very incredibly well prepared,” Dominic continued. “He had purchased a ring. He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter.”

While Tom, 38, had “everything planned out” from the location to his speech, Dominic confessed that his proposal to wife Nikki Holland was not done in a similar fashion.

“I on the other hand was woefully ill-prepared, almost as though I wasn’t taking it seriously,” he said. “I do fret that their combined stardom will amplify their spotlight and the commensurate demands on them and yet they continually confound me by handling everything with aplomb.”

While Dominic acknowledged that his son and Zendaya’s relationship is in the public eye, he has no doubts that the couple will achieve a lifetime of happiness.

“And even though show-business is a messy place for relationships and particularly so for famous couples as they crash and burn in public and are too numerous to mention,” he continued. “With us an example, with Nikki helming this family and my ‘wisdom’ on tap and a study in getting things mostly wrong and yet somehow right at the same time, I am completely confident they will make a successful union.”

Tom Holland Shared Fatherhood Plans Just Before Zendaya Engagement

Us Weekly confirmed that Tom and Zendaya were engaged after the actress was spotted rocking a diamond on her ring finger while attending the 2025 Golden Globes Awards.

“Tom figured the holidays were the best time to propose in a very low-key way,” a source exclusively told Us shortly after news of Tom and Zendaya’s engagement broke on Monday, January 6. “She didn’t want anything over the top.”

Following their engagement news, Tom and Zendaya got matching tattoos of each other’s initials.

How Is The Traitors' Lord Ivar Mountbatten Related to the Royal Family?

Lord Ivar Mountbatten is gaining attention as a contestant on The Traitors — but what is his connection to the royal family?

Alan Cumming announced on the Today Show in June 2024 that Mountbatten would be joining season 3 of the competition series alongside reality TV veterans Boston Rob Mariano, Danielle Reyes, Tom Sandoval, Chrishelle Stause and more, among a total of 21 contestants. While Mountbatten hasn’t made a name for himself on TV, he has become well-known as an extended member — and the first openly gay member — of the royal family.

Ivar, who was born in March 1963, is the son of David Mountbatten, who is the 3rd Marquess of Milford Haven, and Janet Mercedes Bryce. Through his father, Ivar is the grandson of Prince George of Battenberg and the great-great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria. Ivar’s father was the cousin of Prince Philip who married Queen Elizabeth II in 1947, making Ivar the first cousin once removed of Philip, a third cousin once removed of Elizabeth and a second cousin of King Charles III.

Ivar has been candid about how he considered Philip to be a father figure to him after his dad died in 1970.

“In later years, I would sit with him and ask endless questions about my father. It was wonderful to have someone who could tell me everything about him,” he said to The Telegraph in April 2021. “Prince Philip was a wonderful listener; you could tell him anything as long as you were being honest and forthright. He was happy to listen to your thoughts. But if he had some advice he thought you ought to hear, he’d give it to you.”

As a member of the extended family, Ivar does not have any royal duties. He has previously worked as a geologist and businessman. Ivar is also the former director of the SCL Group, which was a strategic communication company. While Ivar is a member of the royal family, he understands why he is not involved in royal events as much as he once was a child.

“The family has got very large,” he told Tatler in 2019. “When we were younger we went to royal events all the time. But now that everyone has had children, quite rightly everything has slimmed down.”

Queen Elizabeth II's Royal Family Tree

While Ivar isn’t active with the royals, he does have a close relationship with some of them. He has maintained bonds with King Charles’ youngest brother Prince Edward and his wife Duchess Sophie. Ivar is the godfather to Edward and Sophie’s daughter Lady Louise Windsor.

Edward and Sophie are the godparents to two of Ivar’s children, daughters Ella and Alix, whom he shares with ex-wife Penny Mountbatten. (The exes, who split in 2011, also share daughter Luli.)

Ivar made history in 2016 when he became the first member of the royal family to openly be in a same-sex relationship with now-husband James Coyle. The couple tied the knot in 2018 and were the first British royals to have a same-sex wedding. While chatting with The Independent in 2023, Ivar shared that his family “was incredibly supportive” about his and Coyle’s relationship.

Hilary Swank, Jamie Lee Curtis and More Stars Reveal Low Movie Salaries

Many A-List actors and actresses have been candid about various movies where the salary didn’t match the role.

Hilary Swank starred in the 1999 film Boys Don’t Cry, receiving her first Academy Award for the performance . While Swank was applauded for her peers, she only received a salary of $3,000.

Meanwhile, when Jamie Lee Curtis was cast in the original Halloween film at age 19 in 1978, she received only $8,000. In addition to the money she received from acting, she also was tasked with staying on a $200 budget for her character’s wardrobe.

Keep scrolling to see what other stars have received shockingly low salaries in some big name movies:

Sean William Scott

While Sean William Scott had his breakout role in American Pie as Steve Stifler, his initial paycheck doesn’t match up to what the now cult classic is worth. Scott earned $8,000 for the entire movie, which ended up grossing $235 million at the box office.

“I think so, yeah, because I remember afterward I bought a used Thunderbird for like $5,000 or maybe $6,000, I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, baby,’” Scott said of what he did with his earnings during a March 2022 appearance on The Rich Eisen Show. “I don’t know what happened to the other $2,000 because I ended up having to work at the LA Zoo as a churro guy, so maybe it was even less than $8,000.”

Ryan Reynolds

Before making Deadpool a household name, Reynolds confessed that his paycheck was not all that it appeared to be while filming the first superhero flick.

“No part of me was thinking when Deadpool was finally greenlit that this would be a success,” the actor said in a July 2024 interview with The New York Times. “I even let go of getting paid to do the movie just to put it back on the screen. They wouldn’t allow my cowriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick on set, so I took the little salary I had left and paid them to be on set with me so we could form a de facto writers room.”

Christopher Lee

Lee starred in the 1973 film, The Wicker Man, and opted not to take a salary so the movie could get made.

“I got paid nothing. I keep repeating to people and they don’t believe it’s true,” he said in the 2001 documentary The Wicker Man Enigma, per The Independent. “If they paid me my normal fee – and everyone else their normal fees – they wouldn’t have been able to make the film.”

Hilary Swank

“So when I did Boys Don’t Cry, I was 24 years old. I made $3,000. In order to have health insurance, you have to make $5,000. So I didn’t even know that I didn’t have health insurance until I went and tried to get a prescription filled,” Swank recalled during an October 2016 appearance on Chelsea Handler’s Netflix self-titled talk show. “They said, ‘That’s $160.’ I went, ‘Um, did you try my insurance?’ They said, ‘Mmm-hmm.’ I had an Academy Award, no health insurance.”

Ethan Hawke

Hawke shared in an June 2013 interview with Entertainment Weekly that while working on The Purge he didn’t have a big salary and even “slept on the producers’ couch” throughout the filming. The actor confessed that he believed in the horror’s premise and wanted to be a part of it no matter the cost.

“I’ve never really prioritized making money that way. I decided months ago that I loved The Purge and I felt it was a cool movie,” he said. “I would love it [even] if it bombed. I’ve had so few movies ever make money in my 20-year career. I’ve learned not to care about it.”

Jeff Daniels

While Daniels starred in Dumb and Dumber alongside Jim Carrey, the Newsroom alum allegedly had a significantly smaller salary. Daniels made $50,000 while Carrey reportedly received $7 million. The writer-director duo Bobby and Peter Farrelly recalled to The Hollywood Reporter in November 2014 how the movie studio didn’t want to cast Daniels in the role due to his lack of a comedic background, despite the Farrelly brothers wanting him to get the role.

“The studio didn’t want him. They said, ‘Please, anyone but him. Get a comedic actor,’” Bobby said. “So they offered him, if I recall, 50 grand, which was, you know, Jim’s getting seven mil, they offered him 50 figuring he’ll say, ‘No, I’m not taking that,’ but he took it.”

Jamie Lee Curtis

“I made $8,000. I made $2,000 a week, which at the time was a fortune,” Curtis told People magazine in October 2018 of her original Halloween salary and added that the crew was small and young. “20 people, maybe 15. The oldest person was 30. Every other person was under 30. It was magic. A friend of somebody cooked the food each day and we all ate on the ground together.”

In addition to acting, Curtis also got a $200 budget for her character’s clothing which she used at JCPenney.

Nick Castle

Much like Curtis, Castle — who played the infamous Michael Meyer — did not have a big salary on Halloween but he found the on set experience to be much richer.

“I was paid $25 per day for Halloween. That was a lot at the time!” he recalled to Vanity Fair in October 2018. “You have to remember: my interest in doing the film was being on set, so I could demystify the experience of filmmaking and directing. I expected to hang around the set for no money. But hey, $25 per day, and all I had to do was wear a rubber mask.”

Taraji P. Henson

While working on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button alongside Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, Henson was initially offered $100,000 for her role despite asking for $500,000. After some negotiating, Henson received $150,000 for the role which earned her an Academy Award nomination.

“I want to make this very clear — I’m not saying that Brad or Cate shouldn’t have gotten what they got. They put asses in seats, so give them their money. They deserve it. I’m not saying they shouldn’t get what they’re getting,” Henson reflected in an April 2019 interview with Variety. “I was just asking for half a million — that’s all. That’s it. When I was doing Benjamin Button, I wasn’t worth a million yet. My audience was still getting to know me. We thought we were asking for what was fair for me, at the time.”

Rebel Wilson

Before Pitch Perfect, Wilson appeared in Bridesmaids. In her memoir, Rebel Rising, Wilson revealed she made $3500 for her scenes with costars Kristen Wiig and Matt Lucas. The amount was the minimum required for her to be able to join the SAG-AFTRA union, which was enough for Wilson.

Terrence Howard

Howard claimed that in addition to having a small salary for his leading role in the 2005 film Hustle & Flow he also didn’t get any royalties for his singing.

“I made $12,000 for doing Hustle & Flow,” the actor said in a November 2023 interview with WREG News Channel 3. “What Paramount did, instead of putting my name as Terrence Howard performing the songs, they put ‘performed by DJay.’ Well, they owned DJay, so guess what? The performance royalties went to Paramount,” he claimed.

Jennifer Lopez

Lopez revealed that she opted not to take a salary for her performance in Hustlers. However, she did produce the crime comedy.

“I didn’t get paid a whole bunch of money for Hustlers,” she said in a November 2019 interview with GQ. “I did it for free and produced it. Like Jenny From the Block — I do what I love.”

Adam Levine

The Maroon 5 frontman made his acting debut in the 2013 rom-com Begin Again and ultimately decided to do it for free.

“I did this movie for no money. I’m very lucky that I’m in that position,” Levine said in an interview with USA Today in June 2014. “I want to have good experiences. I don’t want to do a bunch of s— that I hate. I want to treat [acting] completely differently because I have the very fortunate luxury of not having to think of this in terms of money.”

George Clooney

Clooney got paid $1 each for writing, directing, and acting in Good Night, and Good Luck, earning a total of $3. The actor later shared that his desire to do the movie was inspired by his father’s work ethic as a journalist.

“It’s me saying [to my father], ‘Thanks for setting the bar that high, for believing so strongly in the responsibility of information,’ and taking it to the level where it cost him a lot of things over the years,” Clooney reflected to the LA Times in September 2005. “There were jobs he left because he wasn’t willing to compromise.”

What Is Jessica Alba's Honest Company Worth Amid Cash Warren Divorce?

9 January 2025 at 17:15

Jessica Alba is not only a successful actress but also a businesswoman thanks to her brand, The Honest Company — but her estranged husband, Cash Warren, has links to the brand as well.

Alba, 43, founded the personal care brand in 2011 which started off with a focus on baby products. The Honest Company launched the following year with 17 products that were initially sold on its website and in various Whole Foods and Costco locations. It later expanded into home care products.

In 2014, the brand was added to Target, Buy Buy Baby and Nordstrom shelves. As The Honest Company expanded, so did its profits. It was valued at $1 billion at the time.

Two years later, Forbes estimated Alba’s net worth was around $340 million due to the success of The Honest Company. However, Forbes retracted their report in 2021.

Jessica Alba’s Honest Company: A History of Ups and Downs

“Even at the high end of the pricing range, Alba’s 6% stake (including options) would only be worth just under $100 million,” the publication stated at the time. “That is far less than the $340 million Forbes estimated she was worth when we estimated her stake to be 20% and put her on our 2016 list of America’s most successful self-made women.”

That same year, The Honest Company officially filed for an initial public offering on the stock market. The business was valued around $1.4 billion at the time. According to an SEC filing in 2021, Alba’s salary for the following year was set at $700,000.

After being behind the brand for more than a decade, Alba announced in April 2024 that she was stepping down as Chief Creative Officer. She remains on the Honest Company’s board of directors.

“Building Honest has been a true labor of love,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “From the first concept book I pitched to my friends in Mommy and Me class, to ringing the bell at Nasdaq with my family by my side – this journey has been the ride of a lifetime, one that only existed in my wildest dreams…”

At the time of her exit, The Honest Company was valued at $363 million. According to a December 2024 SEC filing, Alba and Warren, 45, both have voting and investment power as trustees over the shares held by the Warren Trust.

Currently, the Honest Company is valued at around $609 million, significantly less than the $1.7 billion value it had at the time it went public.

News broke earlier this week that Alba and Warren called it quits after 16 years of marriage. TMZ reported on Wednesday, January 8, that the pair are preparing to file for divorce. Us Weekly reached out to reps for Alba and Warren for comment at the time.

The Traitors' Britney and Danielle's 'Big Brother' Drama Explained

9 January 2025 at 17:05
The Traitors' Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes' 'Big Brother' History and Drama Explained

Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes had a lot of history before stepping into The Traitors mansion.

Danielle cemented herself as a Big Brother legend after becoming the runner up on season 3 which aired in 2002. The real estate manager returned to the show four years later in its All-Stars season where she came in sixth place.

Britney, for her part, joined the CBS competition series for season 12 which premiered in 2010. While the real estate agent came in fourth place, she won the hearts of fans thanks to her witty commentary. She was voted America’s Favorite Player and was asked back for season 14 as a coach alongside season 7 winner Mike “Boogie” Malin and fellow Traitors alums Dan Gheesling and Janelle Pierzina. (Britney and Janelle also competed on The Amazing Race together as a team.)

While Danielle and Britney never played Big Brother’s traditional format together, they have been connected over the years as they formed a friendship as fellow alums. During the season 25 premiere in 2023, the women met for the first time when they made a cameo to break into the Big Brother house alongside Frankie Grande.

That same year, Britney and Danielle were reunited as they faced off on Big Brother’s holiday-themed competition show Reindeer Games. While the women were working together at first, Britney played a role in Danielle’s dramatic elimination. Danielle and Britney’s friendship has since turned into a feud following the betrayal.

While it’s been two years since the drama went down, the wound reopened when the women both joined the cast of The Traitors season 3. In a sneak peek of the January 9 premiere, fans got a brief glimpse into Britney and Danielle having an intense face-to-face chat about their past drama.

Danielle’s ‘Big Brother’ Legacy

Throughout the history of Big Brother, Danielle has been dubbed the best player to never win the game. Danielle changed the course of the game following her devastating season 3 loss. She was best known for her strategic prowess and candid demeanor in the diary room. At the time, the jury returned home to watch the season unfold.

After seeing Danielle’s confessionals, a majority of the voted out players felt bitter over her remarks and ultimately voted against her. She received one vote from her loyal ally Jason Guy while Lisa Donahue took home the cash prize. Following season 3, Big Brother began sequestering their jury members.

Danielle returned for Big Brother’s first All-Stars season in 2006, and she was immediately targeted for being a strategic player. However, she aligned with Boogie, Dr. Will Kirby, James Rhine and Erika Landin. Danielle was evicted as the fourth member of the jury.

17 years later, Danielle came out of her Big Brother retirement to participate in Reindeer Games.

Britney’s ‘Big Brother’ Legacy

Like Danielle, Britney has appeared on two Big Brother seasons. Britney became a fan favorite during her first appearance in season 12. She was best known for her wisecracks and joking commentary. Her legacy has lived on with her iconic lines including, “I lost my dignity on a slippery wiener,” and “You’re a homosapien, Brendon. You’re not a wizard!”

Britney returned to Big Brother two seasons later as a coach where she played alongside Dan and Janelle. Britney became collateral damage following Dan’s legendary funeral move and voted out. She became the second member of the jury.

Britney then took an 11-year break from Big Brother before joining the Reindeer Games cast.

Britney, Danielle and Frankie appeared in the season 25 premiere, which aired in 2023, to introduce the season’s twist. In the bit, the trio broke into the Big Brother house to use a time laser so they could change their fate from their respective seasons. But in true Big Brother fashion, the trio’s plan backfired and they accidentally created the BB Multiverse twist for the incoming houseguests.

What Went Down on ‘Reindeer Games’

Everything to Know About Big Brother Reindeer Games 989
CBS

After season 25 wrapped up, Britney and Danielle were reunited to compete in the holiday-themed competition series. As players from the older seasons, Britney and Danielle gravitated towards each other and wanted to form a women’s alliance. While the duo had the best of intentions for each other, an unfortunate instance in a competition fractured their dynamic.

In episode three, the remaining competitors were tasked with completing a puzzle during the Santa’s Showdown elimination challenge. It featured a knockout format as the first participant got five minutes and thirty seconds to finish the puzzle. If the puzzle was solved before time ran out, the player was safe. However, the next person would have significantly less time on the clock.

Nicole Franzel had won a challenge earlier in the day which gave her safety in the competition but she was tasked with picking who should go first. She ultimately chose Frankie who finished the puzzle quickly. Frankie subsequently chose Xavier Prather to go next. Despite struggling with the puzzle, Xavier completed the challenge with seconds to spare. The lawyer was convinced whoever went next would automatically go home.

Both Britney and Danielle begged their fellow competitors not to send them in as they knew they were not good at Big Brother challenges in the past. Xavier, who was secretly aligned with Danielle, decided to take a shot at Britney.

Britney went into the puzzle already thinking she would be sent home. However, she surprised herself — and the other players — when she was victorious with plenty of time to spare. After learning from Xavier that he was working with Danielle, Britney felt betrayed that she was not included in their deal. While Taylor Hale volunteered to go into the puzzle next, Britney decided to pick Danielle instead. Danielle went into the challenge and gave it her all. She lost by a few seconds, making her the third boot.

What Did Danielle Say After ‘Reindeer Games’?

After her exit, Danielle opened up about how hurt she was by Britney’s decision to send her in.

“She was my person. The person that I was wanting to go to the finals with was Britney,” Danielle said to Entertainment Weekly in December 2023. “And so when she put me in, it was very shocking. So I think that’s probably why I didn’t do so well in the comp, because I couldn’t get my head around that this friend of mine put me in this game knowing that I was not going to come back.”

Danielle explained that she had an “undying love” for Britney outside of the game and was hurt by the blindside.

“When I came out of the house, I just didn’t understand why she did what she did. And it was like I kept playing it in my head. I was like, ‘What happened?’ So yeah, that’s how I dealt with it,” she reflected. “I understand she did it for game purposes, and she said she had thoughts or feelings about me in the house, but again, my feelings were based on my relationship outside the game. So that’s where I stand with her decision making. Like I said, I was hurt. I was taken aback by it.”

What Did Britney Say After ‘Reindeer Games’?

Britney ended up coming in 5th place in the Reindeer Games. Following her elimination, she explained her thought process about why she decided to target Danielle.

“It was not always going to be Danielle. However, Danielle was on my radar as far as I did not trust that she was really working with me and the girls alliance as much as I thought she was working with that four-person alliance,” Britney said in a December 2023 interview with Entertainment Weekly. “I felt that they were much tighter, that they were a much more secure alliance. And as you can see, watching it back, it’s even more evident to me now than it even felt in the moment.”

Britney confessed that she thought Danielle was doing a “really good job socially” and didn’t think anyone else would choose to target her.

“We were both trying to do the same thing socially. And I saw if someone at some point could save me or Danielle, they’re going to save Danielle every single time,” she said. “And so as much as I wanted to work with her — and if I could have had the opportunity to shake a snow globe, Danielle would’ve been in my final four — seeing how well she was doing socially and seeing how we were playing a similar type game, I knew she would always be a preference for safety over me. Because I had started winning competitions and she had done the work socially.”

Zach Bryan Slams Trolls for 'Attacking' His Friends: 'Weird as Hell'

9 January 2025 at 13:33

Zach Bryan is coming to his friends’ defense after claiming they’ve been attacked online following his split from Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia.

“All of you f—in weird couch warriors attacking and belittling my friends on the internet because you’re assuming I have a girlfriend are weird as hell and should be studied for science,” Bryan, 28, wrote via a lengthy Instagram Story rant on Thursday, January 9. “Everyone wonders why I quit touring and don’t want to be attached to music anymore, meanwhile you’re calling my friends ugly and harassing them?”

Bryan added that he wasn’t searching for “sympathy” but wanted to condemn the “low and messed up” actions of going after his pals.

“Apparently I’ve [had] four different girlfriends in like two weeks, meanwhile my friends and me are just laughing and hanging out like we always have,” he wrote before clarifying his current relationship status. “I don’t have a girlfriend and don’t plan on having a girlfriend, however I do have normal friends that I love very much and would go to the ends of the earth for.”

Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry’s Breakup: What Went Wrong?

Bryan continued his rant by encouraging others to “go give your attention and time to the literal city burning down,” seemingly referring to the ongoing Los Angeles fires.

“Stop being so sad and fickle and childish through screens. Last thing I’ll ever say on this. Insane I even have to,” he wrote. “You do not know me. You never will know me. Stop acting like you do.”

The singer added that instead of attacking people in his inner circle, his critics should speak about him instead because he can handle it.

“I am allowed to have love, laughter and good people in my life. No matter how bad of a person you think I am, go ahead and come for me. I can take all the hatred because I’m not a child,” he wrote in a subsequent Instagram Story. “But do not come for my friends who do nothing but love and care for me. Everyone wants you to have fun and make great music but you guys are making it really hard to do that with my friends getting insulted and death threats everyday.”

Bryan shared that he’s “worked really hard” for his success, but the constant chatter from social media makes him want to remain out of the spotlight.

“Whether you think I deserve it or not. Whether you think I suck or not. Stop being such sad and fat fingered internet sleuths to my friends,” he wrote. “We’re all humans and I’m so tired of people thinking social media is a way to have a moral high ground on people THEY’VE never met? Guess people aren’t humans any more since they can hide behind screens? Weird a–holes man ok I’m done.”

Bryan, in fact, was not done. He shared one more note stating that he didn’t want others to give him tips on how to “handle something or things they’ve never coped with” themselves.

“I lost my mother, I’ve been in war zones and I’ve battled this whole fame thing for five years. Respectfully, I don’t need your unsolicited advice, I am a grown man. I promise I can get through some little bullies on the internet,” he wrote. “I am so terrifyingly unphased by the fake s— people say about me online but coming for people I love and care for is my line and final straw.”

Brianna Chickenfry Says ‘Don’t Date Famous People’ in Pre-Recorded Podcast

Bryan ended his rant by stating he was “hopping off” of social media “for a bit.”

Bryan made headlines late last year following his dramatic breakup from LaPaglia, 25. In October 2024, Bryan shared that he and the Barstool Sports personality called it quits after dating for more than a year. LaPaglia claimed that she was “blindsided” by the musician’s public announcement.

LaPaglia took a break from social media following the breakup, and Bryan has been laying low. One month after the split, LaPaglia returned to her “BFFs” podcast, where she gave insight into her dynamic with Bryan and claimed she was “emotionally abused” by the musician. (Us Weekly reached out to Bryan’s team at the time and received no response.)

Kelly Clarkson’s Kids River and Remy Are All Grown Up in Talk Show Chat

Kelly Clarkson’s two children, River and Remy, are all grown up in their first interview on their mom’s talk show.

“Y’all may remember a couple weeks ago I had my kiddos River and Remy on set. That’s a cool perk we get as a family when the show tapes on a Saturday,” the singer, 42, said on the Wednesday, January 8 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. “Like their mama, both my kids love singing. And when Remy got to set, he surprised us. He wanted his chance at the microphone, and he literally said, ‘Who do I have to talk to to sing my song?’ I was like, ‘OK,’ so of course, we made it happen.”

Last month, Remy, 8, went viral after Clarkson shared a snippet of her son singing the classic Frank Sinatra tune “My Way.” So Clarkson decided they were going to show the full video of Remy’s performance. In the clip, Remy took the stage and sang his heart out. As he belted out the power ballad, Clarkson and River, 10, cheered him on from the wings. After the song was done, Remy got a standing ovation from the audience. Clarkson ran over to him to give her son a big hug.

After showing the performance, Clarkson had a special treat for the audience as Remy and River were back in the studio.

Kelly Clarkson's Gushes Over 'Amazing' Kids After They Join Her Onstage

“I’m so stoked because both my kids are here again. Let’s bring them out, y’all,” Clarkson told the audience. “Everyone say hi to River and Remy!”

River and Remy walked out and gave their mom a hug before sitting down on the couch. The siblings were all made up for their big TV appearance. River rocked a black and white blouse with straight hair and bangs — similar to her mom’s iconic look. Remy, for his part, looked dashing in a green-striped blazer.

“Oh my god, look at you. You got makeup on and your hair is done,” Clarkson gushed. “This is not how we look at home.”

Clarkson then asked her son why he wanted to perform that particular song. Remy explained he just really liked it, especially after he saw it in Sing 2. Clarkson teased that she and River have gotten used to hearing “My Way” a lot at home.

“I can’t even count … how many times,” River teased of how often her brother belts out “My Way.”

Clarkson shared that she and River hear Remy practicing the song a lot because he’s gearing up to sing it at a couple events for his school. That was one of the main reasons why he wanted to give singing in front of a live audience a try. Kelly also shared Remy’s reaction after the snippet of the song went viral.

“I said, ‘Man buddy, you’ve got over a million views I think on your video,’” she recalled. “And he goes, ‘Do you get that many views?’ I was like, ‘Calm down — and not often.’”

Just like Remy, Clarkson noted that she can always hear her “country queen” daughter in her room practicing music. The American Idol winner turned it over to River to share what she likes to do musically. Just like her mom, she enjoys singing and writing music.

8 January 2025 at 16:28

Allison Holker explained her intention behind including personal details about late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss in her upcoming memoir.

“To fans of Stephen and our family and friends, I want to be clear that my only intention in writing the book is to share my own story as well as part of my life with Stephen to help other people,” Holker, 36, wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, January 8. “Just like you, I never really knew what happened, and even as I am trying to put the pieces together I will never really know.”

Holker shared that for the people who decide to pick up the book, titled This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light, she hopes they’ll be able to she intended to “celebrate the love and life” she and Boss had with their three children: daughters Wesley Renae and Zaia and son Maddox. (Boss died in December 2020 by suicide. He was 40 years old.)

“I hope that by sharing our full story maybe I can help someone else who might see themselves or a loved one in Stephen,” Holker continued. “In sharing I hope that maybe they can catch some of the red flags that I missed before it’s too late.”

Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' Family, Friends React to Allison Holker's Memoir

While writing the book, Holker shared that she’s spoken to multiple mental health nonprofits for the past “two years” to make sure she was able to write truthfully and accurately depict the tough subject matter. She also plans on giving the profits from the novel to the foundation she set up in Boss’ memory.

“My hope is that that we won’t need to lose another husband, brother, father, or friend to suicide,” she said “I believe that if Stephen were able to choose, he would choose to have his story told if it meant saving even one life. Much love to all those who have supported our family these many years.”

Earlier this week, Holker received backlash online after she revealed details from Boss’ life he never discussed publicly prior to his passing. Holker also confessed that she read Boss’ journals in an attempt to find closure after his death.

“Reading Stephen’s journals, and even going back into the books he had read and the things that he was highlighting and lining, really gave me a better perspective of where he was in life and the type of things he was struggling with,” she said in an interview with People on Tuesday, January 7. ”It did have me feel a lot of empathy towards him and sadness for all the pain that he was holding.”

Many of Boss’ family members and friends publicly slammed Holker after the article went live.

“Anyone who knows me, knows I go straight to the source during a conflict and handle my business,” Courtney Ann Platt, who appeared on So You Think You Can Dance alongside Holker, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday. “But since there’s clearly no shame in being so public, I haven’t said a word in two years but here I go. This is by far the most tacky, classless, opportunistic act I have ever seen in my entire life.”
