Josh Allen laughed off a question about whether he would get fiancée Hailee Steinfeld an upgraded ring with a portion of his extended contract.

News broke on Sunday, March 9, that Buffalo Bills agreed to extend Allen’s contract through 2023 for $330 million. While speaking with reporters during a Wednesday, March 12, livestream with 7 News WKBW, Allen, 28, was asked if he had any of the money “earmarked” for his nuptials with Steinfeld, also 28.

“Maybe a bigger ring with the wedding coming up?” the reporter asked, to which Allen laughed and replied, “A bigger ring you said? Uh, nah, I think she likes the one she’s got.”

The quarterback popped the question to Steinfeld in November 2024 after more than one year of dating.

Josh Allen Kept Crying Leading Up to Hailee Steinfeld Proposal

“I was very nervous. I think I was most nervous about you finding out about the proposal,” Allen told Steinfeld, 28, in a December 2024 issue of her “Beau Society” newsletter. “It was hard to keep secrets from you and have other people in your life keep secrets from you. Then, multiple times throughout the day a song would come on and I would tear up thinking about how special our day was going to be.”

He continued, “I said, ‘I couldn’t wait any longer.’ I said, ‘I can’t wait to start a family with you.’ I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said please.”

When the Pitch Perfect actress said “yes,” the pair shared a sweet kiss — which left the NFL star feeling “relieved.”

“You were extremely surprised, you said yes, and that was all that mattered to me. And the sun was out,” Allen gushed. “It feels unbelievable to be engaged to someone who is so special and loving and caring and gorgeous and fun and happy.”

Steinfeld, for her part, called the engagement “the most magical day of [her] life.”

“I’m engaged!! All the happy tears have just barely dried,” Steinfeld wrote in the newsletter’s introduction. “Whenever we tell the story, look back at photos, or even say, ‘We’re engaged’ or ‘We’re getting married,’ I start crying.”

As the couple proceeds forward with wedding planning, a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month that Steinfeld and Allen “don’t want a long engagement.”

“Hailee is very excited about the planning process and now that Josh is done with the season, she hopes they can have more time to make decisions together,” the insider said. “They only have a few timeframes they can have the wedding, so they are nailing down the logistics and are location scouting right now. It will be a very intimate but extravagant event.”

Will Kulp’s return to Southern Hospitality season 4 isn’t set in stone after choosing not to attend the season 3 reunion — leaving Emmy Sharrett alone.

“It’s difficult for me. I think the clearest thing for me is that I’ll always support Emmy and her position on the show. I think that I have probably ruffled some feathers by not going to the reunion,” Will said on the Wednesday, March 12, episode of the “Viall Files” podcast, before clarifying that he had “certainly ruffled some feathers,” adding, “I regret it a little bit.”

Will was absent from the season 3 reunion when the cast met up in New York City, with Emmy telling host Andy Cohen that he was backstage, but didn’t come out due to mental health reasons. (In the season 3 finale of Southern Hospitality, Will was accused of letting a brunette live with him at law school and taking her to a law prom. In response, Will alleged that the woman was a friend from law school, who Emmy knew was staying at the apartment. The allegations came after he was accused of cheating on Emmy in both seasons 2 and 3 of the show.)

When host Nick Viall asked on Wednesday why Will didn’t return to the reunion in an effort to plead his case, the Bravo personality explained that “because of the way that the show had portrayed me and our relationship, it felt like that I would have to dig myself out from under a mountain.”

Joe Bradley Doesn’t Know If ‘Southern Hospitality’ Is for Emmy With Will

“The ways that I would address it would need a longform segment just to try to break down all the nuances. On top of that, the people on the stage I knew are just very interested in whether or not they are making it to the next season and are sort of willing to say or do whatever. It was just going to be a bloodbath,” he continued. “It wasn’t like I could come on here and explain to you guys, ‘Hey, this is what happened,’ and we could have an engaging conversation. It would have been sort of two-steps forward, one-step back, two-steps forward, one-step back.”

Will explained that “these people aren’t my friends anymore,” claiming that they would have come on stage and “try to act” like they were pals to use that “as a position of power” to engage with him in a “fake conversation.” Will admitted that his mental health “couldn’t take it.”

“I’m still on the fence,” Will said about returning for season 4. “I think there are some conversations I need to have about how the show is filmed. I also think that the two most important things in my life right now are my relationship and what’s left of my legal career after all this. I just don’t see reality TV as a format where relationships thrive.”

Will admitted that he questioned “whether this is the right thing for me,” adding, “When I look at Emmy, I think she’s a star.”

Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has some thoughts on ex Davide Sanclimenti moving on with his new girlfriend.

“There’s still stuff that happened I have not spoken about. I feel like it’s private. He knows. He knows. It will always stay like that,” Ekin-Su, 30, claimed on the Tuesday, March 11, episode of the “Great Company” podcast. “I do wish him well. I genuinely wish him well. He’s got a girlfriend now, from what I’ve heard, he’s in L.A. living his life, and he deserves happiness too.”

She continued: “We had a relationship that was in the past, wonderful memories. I will always treasure them, but I’m happy now, too. Isn’t that nice when exes can move on and find people that they can be happy with?”

Ekin-Su and Davide were crowned the winners of Love Island season 8 in 2022. Despite a brief split, the pair rekindled their romance in 2023 before calling it quits for good the following year.

Love Island U.K.'s Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Culculoglu Split

Davide, for his part, went public with his relationship with Iris Au in January. The next month, Davide gushed over his girlfriend while celebrating Valentine’s Day.

“Happy Valentine’s Day to the most romantic woman I’ve ever met. Since being with you, I learned what a ‘monthsary’ is. ,” he wrote via Instagram in February. “You’re the most kind and genuine person. We were supposed to meet as friends, but from that first “friendly date,” we’ve been inseparable. I loved that you didn’t know who I was. You love deeply because you’ve been through a lot, and that made me want to protect you.”

He continued, “Thank you for believing in me, for bringing out my best, and for being someone who pushes me to grow. True love is wonderful because it doesn’t destroy you. I know we met for a reason and I’m glad we’re healing each other. We don’t have to be together—we choose each other every day. To us .”

Ekin-Su, for her part, returned to Love Island for season 2 of the All Stars show. (She ultimately finished in third place with Curtis Pritchard.)

“Coming back for All Stars is a homecoming and a full circle moment for me,” Ekin-Su exclusively told Us Weekly in January. “It’s about rewriting my story, overcoming traumas and having a good laugh along the way. I’m returning with more perspective — being older and wiser — and I’m ready for everyone to get to know Ekin 2.0.”

The Bachelor season 29 contestant Dina Lupancu is asking fans to be respectful of Carolina Quixano amid their ongoing feud.

“I don’t like responding to comments, whether it’s positive or negative, and I’ve tried all season long not to do that,” Dina, 32, said in a Tuesday, March 11, TikTok, clarifying that she was referring to the “drama specifically.”

“Today it’s just getting out of control. So I just wanted to say, you guys have to remember that this is a show, right? Even Women Tell All, it’s edited,” she continued. “I said in press, even though it wasn’t shown on Women Tell All, in order to start talking about accountability I had to account and take responsibility for my part and what I done to perpetuate drama and issues, especially among me and Carolina.”

She added, “And so I did do that. I owned up for the way that I spoke to her in Scotland, for my actions, my behavior. They chose not to show it. It is what it is but think about why. They want to create discourse. They want this complete, polarizing divide between girls because it gets people online talking.”

The Bachelor’s Dina Has No Regrets After Carolina Social Media Drama

Fans of Bachelor Nation watched as Dina and Carolina, 29, went head-to-head on Grant Ellis’ season 29 of The Bachelor. After Carolina began having issues with fellow contestants over appearing ungrateful for her coveted time with Grant, Dina initially sided with her — but their friendship took a turn when she ultimately agreed with the other women. As the show aired, Dina and Carolina posted TikToks back-and-forth about each other (which Dina exclusively told Us Weekly at the Women Tell All taping that she didn’t regret).

While the pair didn’t resolve their drama at the Women Tell All on Monday, March 10, Dina encouraged fans to “be mindful that you’re not seeing anything” and noted that she doesn’t want people to “be disrespectful towards one another or have issues outside of the show.”

“I don’t think Carolina deserves hate, Sarafiena [Watkins] doesn’t deserve hate. I don’t think anyone — regardless of what ‘side’ you are on — no one deserves hate. Just try to be respectful,” Dina urged fans. “I’m not a perfect person. I haven’t done everything perfectly in this process. I have learned so much about myself. Going through this whole thing, it’s not a conventional way to put yourself out there.”

In Dina’s perspective, if “people can see themselves and recognize their short-comings,” then “something positive can come of it.” Dina noted that she would include herself in that statement.

“But let’s just keep the hate out of it. No one needs that. Carolina doesn’t need that. I don’t need that. No one else from the cast needs that. At the end of the day we’re people, and I just think it’s important to remember that,” she said.

Dina noted that she’s “excited” to put the drama behind her and move on to the “fun stuff” including her and Carolina’s wardrobe choices for the Monday episode. While Dina rocked a pair of glasses, Carolina poked fun at her infamous quote from the show calling herself “crazy and evil” by wearing the words on the back of her blazer.

“Where are my grandma glasses from? Where did Carolina get that custom suit?” Dina said. “All of the fun, girly things that I think all of us want this community to be and I think is the fun part of it all. Let’s just do that. Let’s support one another. Like I said, not perfect. I could have done things so much better. The important part is to grow from it and do better next time. Account for the things you’ve done and how your actions and the things that you say affect other people. So let’s just have fun and support one another. That’s all.”

After the Women Tell All taping earlier this month, Dina exclusively told Us that she had hopes of mending her friendship with Carolina.

“I thought we were going to resolve things and that we were going to talk it all out and come to a place of understanding,” Dina told Us. “I said my piece and what I was sorry for and the way that I came at her in the last episode prior to hometowns, because that was genuine.”

Despite not being in the place she wanted with Carolina, Dina was able to get things off her chest that made her feel better.

“The sentiment I don’t regret, but the way that I presented it was just too much, so I was happy I was able to say that, but I just don’t feel like I got any of that back from her at all,” she admitted. “I just thought, ‘OK. This isn’t as productive as I thought it was going to be.’ That sucked.”

While Grant ultimately sent Carolina packing ahead of hometowns, Dina was eliminated the next-week after not introducing the lead to her family in Chicago. When Grant came to the Windy City, Dina began having doubts about their relationship and joked to Us that she “forgot we are dating.”

“I thought, ‘Could our relationship take the test of time? … Our connection isn’t as strong as I thought it was,’” she said. “That was the first time where I was like, ‘It may not be me.’”

Grant’s final three contestants are Litia Garr, Juliana Pasquarosa and Zoe McGrady.

The Bachelor airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.

Mark Anderson is ringing in Barbara Alyn Woods’ trip around the sun by her side in Hawaii.

“Happy Birthday!” Anderson, 57, wrote via his Instagram Story on Tuesday, March 11, tagging Woods, 63. In the image, Woods rocked a blue bikini top and matching skirt with a pair of sunglasses and a lei around her neck as she laid by the water.

In another Story, Anderson reposted Woods’ video of the pair and two of her daughters taking wellness shots by the beach. “Birthday TURMERIC Hot shots,” Woods wrote.

Bachelor Nation met Mark when daughter Kelsey Anderson appeared on Joey Graziadei’s season 28 of The Bachelor. After Kelsey, 26, accepted a proposal from Graziadei, 29, in the season finale, Mark became a contestant on Joan Vassos’ season 1 of The Golden Bachelorette.

While Joan ended her season engaged to Chock Chapple, Mark quickly sparked romance rumors with Woods when they were spotted in coordinated Halloween costumes in October 2024. The next month, Mark and the One Tree Hill alum fueled dating speculation when they uploaded a TikTok video of them dancing in front of a Christmas tree.

While the pair have remained mum about their relationship status, Graziadei confirmed Mark and Woods’ romance in December 2024. When asked about the holidays on an episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast, Graziadei shared that he and Kelsey were spending them with her family and “Mark’s new girlfriend.”

“Barbara’s awesome,” Graziadei gushed at the time, adding that it’s not the first time he and Kelsey had met Woods. “We’ve gotten a chance to go out to dinner with her and her family, when Mark came to L.A. We spent Thanksgiving with my family. We’re spending Christmas with hers, and we’re excited for it.”

Months later, Kelsey gushed over her dad’s budding relationship with Woods — which she shared had been going on for “five months or so.” (Kelsey’s mom, Denise, died in 2018, while Woods and John Lind filed to divorce in May 2024.)

“Mark is in a relationship. Her name is Barbara, and she is the best,” Kelsey shared on a February episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “She is super sweet. She has great daughters. We got to spend Christmas with them all together, and yeah. They are going strong, and he’s super happy. And now he’s in L.A. a lot because she lives in L.A., so I get to see him pretty often now, too.”

Blake Lively is feeling gratitude for her fellow Another Simple Favor cast members.

“Final Austin roundup for @asimplefavor ,” Lively, 37, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, March 12. “I know how fortunate I am to work with each of you. Thank you to my friends and loved ones for making this weekend so special. Ok. Back to sweatpants now. That was fun. .”

Lively shared a series of snaps alongside her message, including one of her and costar Michele Morrone playing ping pong and another of her looks from the press tour. In one image, Lively and costar Anna Kendrick walked on stage at the SXSW premiere of Another Simple Favor.

In a final image, Lively posed with her hand on her hip while wearing paper bags on her feet — which she called a “mom hack.” (Lively shares four children with husband Ryan Reynolds.)

Blake Lively Speaks in Public for 1st Time Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

“Barton Springs Park Bathroom. Your kid forgets their shoes, but you have yours on. So naturally, you given [sic] them yours. Then you mom hack … Paper bags. No shoes, No problem,” she wrote over the photo, adding check marks to each line.

While promoting the film at SXSW on Friday, March 7, Lively spoke in public for the first time since her ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni.

“I love this character so much. It’s probably my favorite character I’ve ever been fortunate enough to play,” Lively said of her latest role, per Page Six. “So when Paul [Feig] asked us to come back, I was so excited.”

Lively recalled being “really nervous” filming A Simple Favor, which was released in 2018, because “we didn’t know if we were making a drama or a comedy.” Lively claimed that when they asked Feig about the genre, he told them, “yes,” which she quipped was “not really an answer to the question.”

Blake Lively Attends Premiere of ‘Another Simple Favor’ Amid Legal Drama

“But it worked out, so I was like, ‘OK, no nerves. I know what I’m doing this time,’” she continued. “Right before we started shooting, he said, ‘I have, like, a little bit of a curveball idea.’ Which, I’m not going to say what it was, because, you know, we don’t want to give away anything. But it definitely, you know, upped the ante. It was very uncomfortable to watch in this theater with you all. … But yeah, it was fun, it’s always fun. Getting to work with Anna again, obviously, and this incredible group of people, is amazing.”

Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment and
allegedly launching a “social manipulation” campaign against her to destroy her reputation. Baldoni denied the accusations and filed his own lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and her publicist in January, citing defamation among other claims. (Lively and Reynolds denied the allegations.) A trial date for the ongoing legal battle is set for March 2026.

Lively’s legal drama was a topic at the SXSW premiere, with Kendrick dodging questions about how Another Simple Favor has been “impacted” by what’s “going on in the world.” In response, Kendrick deadpanned to Variety, “Why? What happened? I did ayahuasca and the last year of my life has been gone. But I hear the movie is amazing.”

Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin’s wife, Victoria Goodwin, shared a photo of the pair snuggling up together one week before she was accused of trying to hire a hitman.

In the image, Aaron and Victoria’s legs lay inches apart as a cat cozies up between them. “Cuddle puddle with my boys ,” Victoria, 32, captioned the Instagram post on February 27.

One week after the photo was uploaded, Victoria was arrested on charges of soliciting to commit murder and conspiring to commit murder, per inmate records in Clark County, Nevada. She was held on $100,000 bail.

According to an arrest report obtained by Us Weekly, Victoria had been communicating with a Florida prison inmate about wanting to leave her marriage. One of her alleged text messages read, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.” (TMZ broke the news on Monday, March 10.)

The arrest report claimed that Victoria shared information about Aaron’s whereabouts while filming Ghost Adventures in California. She allegedly allotted $11,515 to pay the alleged hitman in October 2024 and had spoken about a $2,500 upfront payment.

“He’s asleep right now in the hotel room … I need to know what’s going on. Can I get an update. Was it done?” another alleged text read.

The police allegedly caught wind of the alleged murder plot after corrections officers found and seized the inmate’s phone at the Florida prison. Per the arrest report, Victoria — who has been married to Aaron, 48, for nearly three years — denied wanting to have her husband killed, alleging that she didn’t recall sending messages.

When questioned by the police about her correspondences and the funds, Victoria allegedly said she believed the money would be exchanged for cell phones, admitting that she and Aaron were struggling in their marriage.

'Ghost Adventures' Star Aaron Goodwin’s Wife Accused of Hiring a Hitman

TMZ reported that Aaron told them he was blindsided by the news and thought he and Victoria were in a good place in their marriage. Aaron’s Ghost Adventures costar Zak Bagans told the outlet that it was an “emotional time” for his pal, whom he was trying to support.

Aaron and Victoria said “I do” at Disneyland in August 2022 after initially postponing their first ceremony, which was set for May 2020. “It finally happened we got married,” Aaron wrote via Instagram at the time. “After postponing many times due to Covid we got our day. I couldn’t be happier .”

Gabi Elnicki knew on The Bachelor that Zach Shallcross was not The One for her — and now she can see why he and Kaity Biggar made the perfect match.

“I actually realized when I was there that he was not my person,” Gabi, 27, admitted on the Monday, March 10, episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast. “But when I got back, I was like, ‘Thank god.’ No offense to him. Him and Kaity are perfect together.”

Gabi said that she “totally” understands Zach, 28, and Kaity, 30 — who ultimately got engaged in the 2023 season 27 finale — as a couple.

“Being so close with Kaity, I get it much more now,” Gabi said. “Just me, to be honest with you, I’m, like, not probably nice enough. I don’t think he could have handled me because I’m sassy. Kaity is very sweet and she’s just a nurse. I know myself, I’m a little feisty. I don’t think that we would have been compatible in the long run. Like, I’m really kind and really sweet but I pick at people as a joke. Like, I’m very sarcastic and I just don’t know if that would have landed well.”

Bachelor's Gabi Elnicki Wants to ‘Burn’ Her 2023 Finale Dress: ‘Bad Juju’

Gabi gushed that she’s “so happy” for Kaity and her relationship with Zach — who she thinks has “changed” since his stint as the lead of the ABC reality show.

“We honestly see Zach the Bachelor as a totally different person than her Zac that she has now. I see Kaity a lot, and just hearing about their relationship, it’s totally different and I really think it’s for the best. They’re very happy,” Gabi said. “I think he’s changed as a person since the show, or at least from what Kaity and I’s conversation have been. I think everyone has. I mean, you’re in this bubble and he was having to be the Bachelor so I’m sure that comes with so much pressure. Everything has worked out the way that it was supposed to.”

Since her split from Zach, Gabi has moved on with Zach Espinosa — her friend from Houston that encouraged her to find love on The Bachelor.

“He was like, ‘This is going to be really good for you. You really can’t lose anything. If you come back, you could possibly find someone. And if not, think about all of the people that will see you, and then you will find someone,’” she recalled, adding that he was “really just such a supportive friend through it.”

Bachelor’s Ariel Frenkel, Gabi Elnicki Are on Good Terms With Zach Shallcross

After The Bachelor, the pair went out for dinner and Gabi realized she had feelings for Espinosa and “one thing led to another.” The couple have now been together for nearly two years.

As for whether she thinks she’s now found The One in Espinosa, Gabi gushed, “Definitely. I don’t really see myself with anyone else. I feel like this is just a really good, healthy relationship.”

Khloé Kardashian is setting the record straight on whether she apologized to Blac Chyna’s mom, Tokyo Toni.

“Khloe called me. She apologized. You know, I talked to Kris [Jenner]. I talked to all them hoes and I don’t give a f— who knows. I ain’t mad at them no more,” Toni said in her livestream, The Shade Room shared on Tuesday, March 11.

Kardashian, for her part, denied talking to Toni (real name Shalana Hunter). “I’m not sure who you spoke to, but it wasn’t me or anyone from my family. Have a blessed day! ,” Kardashian, 40, commented on the outlet’s Instagram post.

The most recent feud between Kardashian and Toni began back in December 2024 when Chyna’s mom shared that she was “cooking for the homeless.” (Kardashian has had her ups and downs with Chyna and Toni through the years.)

Blac Chyna’s Mom Fires Back at Khloe Kardashian Over Thanksgiving Feud

The same day, Kardashian shared a series of snaps from her Thanksgiving festivities, including pictures with her two kids: True, 6, and Tatum, 2. (Kardashian shares her children with ex Tristan Thompson.)

In the comment section of Kardashian’s post, one user pointed out the differences between her and Toni’s celebration.

“Y’all over here enjoying while dreams grandma is feeding the homeless ,” the user wrote, referring to Chyna and ex Rob Kardashian’s daughter, Dream.

The Kardashians star replied, “‘Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven,’” Matthew 6:1-4. Just because we don’t post about it, doesn’t mean we aren’t doing it my love. Sending you love and blessings.”

Kardashian continued her response, writing, “and I am not knocking what anyone else chooses to show or keep to themselves. But personally, when people fall on hard times — I don’t feel it’s right to publicize that for my own personal pat on the back. Highlighting a charity or an organization that may need some awareness is one thing, but I don’t feel comfortable highlighting people when they’re at a low point in their lives. To each their own, I’m only speaking for myself.”

Khloe Kardashian Jokes That Kris Jenner Mistreats Her the Most After Fight

Days later, Toni shared her thoughts on Kardashian’s comment with a screenshot of the interaction.

“Do a drive or I’m snitching on your ass. Do a food drive. Let me see you whip up some macaroni and cheese bitch,” she said in the Instagram video. “Get outside and do something.”

Toni claimed she had seen Kardashian “four or five times” — but the reality TV star didn’t say hi.

“Dear Khloé, I’m the one who gave my daughter the papers that your mother tried to swipe our grandchild out of everything she could and ever owned. I’m the one who did it,” she said. “Let’s not forget the time you brought the old homeless man to your house, girl. Was that a movement? But it sounds like you said you don’t do that. You put him on TV too. Bitch you are a homeless case.”

Us Weekly reached out to Kardashian and Jenner at the time.

Brandi Glanville’s facial disfigurement is now affecting other parts of her body.

“I have painful lumps 1 in jaw bone area 1on side of neck & 1 in back of neck,” Glanville, 52, wrote via X on Saturday, March 8. “I have chills & A constant oily fowl [sic] tasting drainage from face into mouth[.] it’s acidic & is eating away at my teeth plus all of my lymph nodes in head & neck are swollen. Drs at Kaiser say I’m fine :/HELP ME.”

The update comes days after Glanville admitted that she has been “faking” her feelings, sharing that she’s “f—ing miserable.”

“My best friend’s been in the ICU for 2 weeks & isn’t getting better. My face is worse than ever,” she wrote via X on Thursday, March 6. “It’s literally melted away. When drs at cedars put me on IV antibiotics & fungal medication I was getting better[.] I looked normal but I couldn’t afford to stay on them. I was forced to see drs outside my insurance because the drs at Kaiser had no clue. I need my life to change. That is my real life health update.”

Dr. Terry Dubrow Says Brandi Glanville Doesn't Have a Face Parasite

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star claimed in December 2024 that she had spent $70,000 on medical tests and treatments.

“Honestly, I have so many doctors and I’ve had so many tests … I did lab work for $10,000,” the reality star told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I ran every test under the sun… They’re like, ‘It could be a parasite.’ That’s, you know, new.”

Dr. Terry Dubrow, however, doesn’t think that Glanville is the victim of a parasite. “She has to figure out if there’s a microorganism in there,” Dubrow, 66, said in an interview with TMZ in December 2024. “It’s not going to be a parasite, it’s not going to be something she ate, it’s going to be from something that got into her bloodstream.”

Dubrow warned that Glanville needs to start getting answers regarding her condition in a timely manner, noting that the Bravo star is “like a ticking time bomb.”

“Every minute that that microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage, she could suffer worse for it,” he said. “It could be more difficult to treat, and she could form more scars and more nodules. So Brandi needs a diagnosis. She probably needs a surgical intervention to get a piece of tissue and figure out what’s going on.”

Dubrow offered to help Glanville get a diagnosis, which she accepted. He went on to perform four biopsies on her. The Botched star exclusively told Us Weekly in February that he’s “committed to helping” Glanville and give her answers. “I think once we get a diagnosis and we get a treatment plan, that we can get on the other side of it,” he said.

Love Is Blind’s Jimmy Presnell has some thoughts on his name being dragged into the season 8 reunion drama between Ben Mezzenga and Sara Carton.

“What’s up, guys. It’s Jimmy here. You may know me from Love Is Blind season 6 or potentially the season 8 of Love Is Blind reunion,” Jimmy said in a Monday, March 10, TikTok. “Wasn’t on the show or anything. Just caught a bunch of strays randomly, so appreciate that. Love getting support two years after my season so thank you so much for the shout-outs.”

Jimmy began to shake his head while laughing and raising his hands up in the air before continuing on with the video and explaining why he was name-dropped in Ben and Sara’s reunion exchange. (Ben and Sara got engaged during season 8 before splitting at the altar.)

“I was mentioned a time or two so I wanted to provide some clarity,” he said. “Love Is Blind actually connected me with Ben May of last year. So really as soon as he finished filming, which is pretty standard protocol. I was connected with people from past seasons when I finished filming and I was connected with people last season as well.”

Love Is Blind’s Sara Reacts to That ‘Under the Bus’ Reunion Moment

He continued, “It’s solely to help them navigate that period of timing where you probably have a ton of anxiety waiting for your season to air to see how you’ll be portrayed. It’s like a 10, 11 month period so I want to help anyway I can and, you know, I have a special place in my heart for people who have been on reality TV, especially Love Is Blind. I’ve been in his position. I understand.”

Jimmy explained that he felt “a little slighted” that he was “being pointed at for giving bad advice,” adding, “All I really did was be a sounding board for him and support him in making sure he’s good, because I know how I felt from that time especially when my season first aired.”

During the season 8 reunion, which aired on Sunday, March 9, Ben revealed he reached out to Sara so that the former couple could be on the same page ahead of the reunion — advice he received from a former cast member. While Ben didn’t name who gave him the advice — saying in part that he didn’t want to throw anyone “under the bus” — Sara revealed it was Jimmy who suggested that the pair create scripted responses.

Jimmy, who was in the hot seat in season 6 of the show, noted that he was “giddy” at the time about being connected to people from past seasons and told Chelsea Blackwell that the people he was speaking to were “really nice and really humble” and “gave great advice.” (Jimmy and Chelsea called it quits before saying “I do.”)

“Everyone has a different experience, but I had some type of a level of trust with Chelsea at that point, so I felt comfortable telling her those things,” he said. “I shared information from cast members that gave me advice to Chelsea before our season came out so I know how it is, I’m not even mad at him. I’m mad it came out and I got jabbed for it.”

He continued, “I’m two seasons removed from this. I wasn’t doing anything that wasn’t asked of me and I was really just trying to support him. He was very anxious about the reunion and how to kind of go about it. I think that’s very normal. The advice I gave him was pretty simple. It was like, ‘Just enjoy the moment. Enjoy the ride and don’t sweat it until that time comes.’”

Jimmy explained that he’s “not mad,” noting that “it’s TV and both of their backs were against the wall.”

“He probably trusted her telling her my conversations with him and she either misconstrued that information or that’s just a total lie because she felt her back was against the wall,” he said. “Why would I tell them to come together with rehearsed reunion questions? I definitely didn’t say that but I do think it’s great advice to see what the internet has to say and then come prepared to the reunion. That’s what I told Ben and I wasn’t talking to Ben and Sara, I was talking to Ben. Come on! We’re on season 8!”

Sophia Culpo is poking fun at sister Olivia Culpo’s not-so-subtle methods to conceal her pregnancy.

“Now you all know why her nickname is Oblivia … she ain’t stealth,” Sophia, 28, wrote via her Instagram Story on Monday, March 10, after Olivia, 32, announced her pregnancy news.

Alongside the message, Sophia reshared Olivia’s Instagram post from January, where she positioned her dog in front of her stomach while posing with husband Christian McCaffrey.

In another Instagram Story, Sophia joked that Olivia was hiding her bump “poorly’ at pals Hayley Sullivan and Deven Marrero‘s wedding in February. In a close-up photo, Olivia stood in the crowd with her bump showing underneath a strapless dress. Sophia quoted Olivia in the caption, writing, “I’m just bloated.”

Olivia seemed to agree with Sophia, writing in a text message about the photo, “Hahaha so bad.”

Olivia shared on Monday that she and McCaffrey, 28, are expecting their first baby. “Next chapter, motherhood ,” she wrote via Instagram, alongside black-and-white images from a maternity photo shoot.

The model also uploaded a video of her and McCaffrey holding hands as they walked through a field. While wearing a white dress, Olivia cradled her bump. Sophia reposted the clip to her Instagram Story and celebrated the milestone. “SECRET’S OUT!!!!!!!” she wrote. “So happy for you guys.”

Olivia and the NFL player were first set up on a blind date in June 2019, confirming their relationship on Valentine’s Day in 2020. Two years later, Olivia opened up to Us Weekly about whether the pair were thinking about marriage or children.

“[We’re] taking it day by day,” Olivia said in November 2022. “It’s really exciting, you know, there’s so much to be grateful for, and I don’t wanna give too much away because we do get into this a lot in [on The Culpo Sisters] but … I know that everything’s gonna work out exactly how it’s supposed to. I’m really excited for that.”

The next month, Olivia revealed she had frozen her eggs in an episode of The Culpo Sisters. “I’ve been making decisions out of fear for the future,” Olivia said in the December 2022 episode. “There’s a lot of pressure that I’ve been putting on my relationship because of fertility. I am going to freeze my eggs so that I can have babies when the time is right for Christian and I. It’s an insurance policy. It’s exciting.”

The couple tied the knot in June 2024.

Gal Gadot got candid about a health scare she experienced before welcoming her fourth daughter with husband Jaron Varsano.

“I had a huge scare. All of a sudden, I realized what it means to be scared to death,” Gadot, 39, said on the Monday, March 10, episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, explaining that she was “very pregnant” at the time. “I’m talking about it just because I think it’s so important because if someone out there in the world is going to have the same thing, because she hear my story, she’s going to get checked.”

The Wonder Woman star said that her “brain clot” was “a huge one,” adding “Like three, I had three. When I do something, I do it all the way.”

As for her symptoms, Gadot claimed she had “major headaches” for three weeks and was seeing doctors and neurologists, who thought she had migraines because of her hormones.

Gal Gadot Was Diagnosed With Blood Clot in Her Brain While Pregnant

“You got to advocate for your health. Our bodies are always communicating with us, we just need to listen and get checked. If anything, you’re going to over check yourself. But it’s better to overcheck than undercheck,” she said.

After experiencing “crazy headaches,” Gadot’s mom encouraged her to get an MRI. “We did. They found out this horrible thing and we were rushed to the hospital and they got the baby out immediately,” she said. “And I went through a thrombectomy.”

Gadot said that she had an “amazing” team at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, claiming that they “saved” her life. “Just love yourself and check yourself and be on top of your health,” Gadot encouraged viewers.

Gadot shared in December 2024 that she had been diagnosed with a “massive blood clot” in her brain during her eighth month of pregnancy earlier that year. “My daughter, Ori, was born during that moment of uncertainty and fear. Her name, meaning ‘my light,’ wasn’t chosen by chance,” she wrote via Instagram. “Before the surgery, I told Jaron that when our daughter arrived, she would be the light waiting for me at the end of this tunnel.”

As for how the new family of six is doing, Gadot gushed that they are “great” and “exhausted,” adding that life at home is “messy and loud.” Gadot called her youngest daughter, Ori, “a little caterpillar.”

“We experience every hormone possible. It’s all happening, different phases. God bless my husband,” Gadot quipped of her family. “We got a male dog because he was like, ‘I got to have a buddy.’”

Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin’s wife, Victoria Goodwin, has been accused of trying to hire a hitman.

Victoria, 32, was arrested on Thursday, March 6, on charges of soliciting to commit murder and conspiring to commit murder, per inmate records in Clark County, Nevada. Victoria was held on $100,000 bail and is set to make an initial court appearance on Tuesday, March 11, according to the inmate records.

TMZ, who was the first to break the news on Monday, March 10, obtained an arrest report that alleged Victoria had been messaging a Florida prison inmate about her desire to leave her marriage. The outlet reported that one of her alleged text messages read, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.”

TMZ reports that Victoria provided information about Aaron’s location and filming time while he was shooting Ghost Adventures — which follows a group of paranormal investigators traveling to haunted locations and attempting to solve mysteries — in California. The outlet reported that Victoria set aside $11,515 to pay the alleged hitman in October 2024, and they had communicated about a $2,500 upfront payment.

“He’s asleep right now in the hotel room … I need to know what’s going on. Can I get an update. Was it done?” another text allegedly read.

The police reportedly learned of the alleged murder plot after corrections officers found and seized the inmate’s phone at the Florida prison.

Victoria reportedly denied wanting to have her husband killed, police told TMZ. Instead, she alleged that she didn’t remember sending the messages.

When police asked Victoria about the messages, she said that she believed the money was for cell phones, admitting that she and Aaron, 48, were experiencing marital woes.

Aaron, for his part, reportedly told TMZ that he was blindsided by the news and thought he and Victoria were in a happy marriage. Ghost Adventures costar Zak Bagans told the outlet that it was an “emotional time” for Aaron and that he’s trying to support his pal.

Us Weekly reached out to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for comment.

Aaron and Victoria tied the knot in 2022. “It finally happened we got married,” Aaron wrote via Instagram at the time. “After postponing many times due to Covid we got our day. I couldn’t be happier .”

While celebrating Valentine’s Day in February, Aaron and Victoria were all smiles as they posed for a selfie. She captioned her Instagram post, “mini golf with my Valentine .”

The Bachelor’s Dina Lupancu had hopes of mending her relationship with fellow season 29 contestant Carolina Quixano — but that didn’t happen at the Women Tell All.

“I thought we were going to resolve things and that we were going to talk it all out and come to a place of understanding,” Dina, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly of her relationship with Carolina, 29, after the Women Tell All taping earlier this month. “I said my piece and what I was sorry for and the way that I came at her in the last episode prior to hometowns, because that was genuine.”

Dina shared that she “truly can’t watch” the season, where she vied for the affections of Bachelor Grant Ellis, because she finds it to be “so cringe.”

“The sentiment I don’t regret, but the way that I presented it was just too much, so I was happy I was able to say that, but I just don’t feel like I got any of that back from her at all,” she admitted. “I just thought, ‘OK. This isn’t as productive as I thought it was going to be.’ That sucked.”

The Bachelor’s Carolina Quixano Reacts to Dina Lupancu's Social Media Shade

Fans of Bachelor Nation watched as the pair’s friendship quickly turned sour when Dina began siding with the remaining contestants over Carolina’s negative behavior. As the show aired, Dina and Carolina fired social media TikToks back-and-forth at each other, proving that they hadn’t made amends.

While rehashing her online feud with Dina at the Women Tell All, Carolina left the stage. She ultimately returned during fellow contestant Alexe Godin’s hot seat with Jesse Palmer.

Dina, who said she was “so tired and so exhausted” after the taping, shared that she wouldn’t change the social media exchange with Carolina. When asked whether she had any “regret” over their online interactions, Dina told Us, “No! Honestly not at all.”

“I didn’t have malicious intent when I did it. I genuinely did not think for a second it would get the attention that it did or it was me slighting her,” Dina said. “I didn’t see it as a whole thing, that was crazy. I don’t regret it. It added some color and showed it was real. The Madrid stuff, the Scotland stuff, it is all real and still real because we are talking about it.”

The Bachelor’s Dina Lupancu Reveals When She Got Over Grant Ellis

While Grant sent Carolina packing ahead of hometowns, he gave a rose to Dina — who took him to Chicago, but didn’t introduce the lead to her family. (While she said on the show that her family opted out, she revealed to Jesse on Monday that she was the one who didn’t bring her family onto the series because some of her brothers didn’t agree.) Dina ultimately was eliminated from the show at the rose ceremony, with Grant’s final three including Zoe McGrady, Litia Garr and Juliana Pasquarosa.

“[I realized I wasn’t The One] during hometowns,” Dina told Us. “Something that was hard for me, and I didn’t realize until I lived it, was that when you are waiting for your hometown — and mine was last, there is, like, 7 days [of waiting]. Before that was a travel day and then the date in Scotland, we barely got to talk. So you are talking [about] nine days when we didn’t see each other, we didn’t talk, we don’t have our phones, so you don’t have anything to continue to foster that connection.”

Despite her elimination, Dina hasn’t ruled out a return to the franchise — specifically on the beaches of Mexico for the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise.

“I am not sure. Genuinely I am not sure,” Dina said of appearing on the spinoff series. “Obviously being in the experience again and seeing the girls, it made me miss it. But [I don’t know], I also haven’t stalked any of the guys, so I have to do that.”

The Bachelor airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. is breaking down the timeline of his vasectomy reversal after wife Lauren Burnham shared her pregnancy news.

“In our last video, you may have noticed that that vasectomy reversal was last summer,” Arie, 43, said in a Monday, March 10, YouTube video, to which Lauren, 33, chimed in, “Yes, it was last year.”

“A lot has happened since then,” Arie quipped.

The couple shared in a February YouTube video that Arie was undergoing a vasectomy reversal after deciding their family wasn’t complete. (Arie and Lauren are parents to daughter Alessi, 5, and 3-year-old twins Senna and Lux.)

Lauren Burnham Is Pregnant After Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s Vasectomy Reversal

“Since we only had the vasectomy two years ago, I’m a really good candidate that it will be successful. So we’re crossing our fingers. We wanted to come on here and let you guys know,” Arie said, to which Lauren added, “Hopefully baby No. 4 coming soon. So crazy.”

After undergoing the procedure, Arie stood in the family’s kitchen as he opened a gift box. In the background of the video, a banner read, “Watch out preschool. Here I come!”

Weeks after uploading the clip, Arie and Lauren shared that they are expecting another baby after experiencing a chemical pregnancy.

“Our last missing piece,” Lauren captioned an Instagram post on Monday, showing off her baby bump. “Coming this September.”

Arie Luyendyk Jr. Gets Vasectomy Reversal After Being 'Done Having Kids'

After welcoming their third children, Lauren exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2023 that the duo were getting into the groove of parenthood.

“We feel like we’re in a spot where our kids are more independent and they’re easier to manage altogether now,” Lauren said at the time. “Like, they’re starting to have cute relationships [with each other]. Alessi likes to help them out and they help each other all the time, actually.”

Arie and Lauren initially met on The Bachelor season 22, where he ultimately proposed to Becca Kufrin. After ending his engagement to Becca days after the finale, Arie rekindled his romance with Lauren. The twosome tied the knot in 2019, renewing their vows four years later.

“We were not planning to renew our vows so early, but we heard about the Aruba I Do event, and we thought it was really cool and a fun opportunity for us to bring our kids with us and just have fun on the beach, celebrating love. So that’s what we did,” Lauren told Us in August 2023. “I loved that our kids were there too. They had the best time. There were dancers from the island there and they had these crazy costumes and Lux was just, like, enamored with these dancers. [Lux] just, like, could not get over it. It was so fun.”

Former Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas was arrested after an altercation with her ex-husband, Stephen Stagliano.

Per court documents obtained by Us Weekly and first reported by In Touch, Lynn Stagliano, who is seemingly Stephen’s mother, filed a declaration in the divorce claiming that she went to Pappas’ house on February 26 to help get the exes’ 9-year-old son, Austin, to school. (Stephen and Pappas are also parents to daughter Addison, 11.)

“When I arrived, I very clearly smelled alcohol on DeAnna’s breath,” Lynn claimed, alleging that she put Austin in the car and left. “This was not the first time I picked up Austin. My husband picks him up more.”

Later that night, Stephen arrived at Pappas’ home to pick up Addison. The former ABC star claimed she walked their daughter to his car.

“Stephen told me I needed to walk closer to him because he wanted to smell my breath to make sure that I was not drunk. I had not consumed any alcohol. I ignored Stephen’s comment, and I walked back into the garage,” Pappas alleged.

She continued, “I heard noise behind me. I turned around to see Stephen following me into my garage. Addison had been left alone sitting in his car with the engine running. I tried to shut my garage door. Stephen pushed my garage door upward so that it would not close. I shouted at Stephen to get out of my garage. Stephen refused to leave.”

Pappas went inside and locked her door, but walked back out after she heard noises from her garage. Pappas alleged that Stephen was stealing items out of the garage. She also claimed that Addison recorded the incident on her phone.

“Stephen took his hands, grabbing me, and then forcefully shoved me. He pushed my back again. In fear that he would hurt me, I immediately went back inside the house and locked the door while I waited for the police to arrive,” she said, claiming that he called law enforcement.

According to Pappas, the police told her that Stephen accused her of being drunk, and was pressing charges against her for domestic violence.

“Stephen had told the Sheriff that I was the aggressor who assaulted him, which was false,” she alleged. “At no time was I requested to test for alcohol despite Stephen’s allegations. In fact, the officer that arrested me exhibited no concern that I was at all intoxicated.”

Pappas was arrested on a misdemeanor charge on February 27 and released the same day on $20,000 bond. Pappas claimed she voluntarily submitted to drug testing after being bailed out of jail, and tested negative for both.

Pappas vehemently denied allegations that she had a drinking problem in her legal response.

“The basis of [Stephen’s] is based on his fabrication that I am an alcoholic,” she claimed. “This is wholly false and fabricated as way for [Stephen] to gain leverage in his attempt to alienate the children from me.”

Bachelorette Jenn’s Ex Devin Had a Restraining Order Against Him in 2017

Pappas accused Stephen of having a pattern of “coaching our daughter to look for alcohol in the home,” claiming that he coached their daughter to “literally sniff out alcohol and to alienate her from me by making her believe that I am an alcoholic.”

“I am not an alcoholic,” Pappas reiterated.

Pappas filed a restraining order against Stephen on March 7, ordering him to be 100 yards away from her. A hearing date has been set for later this month, per In Touch.

Us Weekly reached out to Stephen’s lawyer and Pappas for comment.

When the exes finalized their divorce in June 2024, In Touch reported that Pappas and Stephen agreed not to consume alcohol around their children. The deal read, “neither party shall drink alcohol in excess of the legal limit during their custody periods, or have a child and/or children in their custody and control when being intoxicated.”

Pappas and Stephen also agreed not to consume narcotics within 12 hours before or during time with their children. Per the deal, Pappas would be paid $1,000 per month in child support and an additional $1,500 a month in spousal support.

Bachelor Nation met Pappas when she appeared on Brad Womack’s season 11 of The Bachelor in 2007. She went on to star on season 4 of The Bachelorette in 2018, where she accepted a proposal from Jesse Csincsak. The pair went their separate ways less than a year later.

Pappas went on to meet Stephen through his brother, Michael, who was on season 5 of The Bachelorette. Pappas and Stephen tied the knot in October 2011. The pair announced in January 2023 that they split.

“It is with immense sadness, Stephen & I have decided to end our relationship as a couple. We have been working hard for a long time — both as a married couple & as individuals & have come to the conclusion to remain separate,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “We remain loving parents to our beautiful children, Addison & Austin, & will continue to raise them together with love & faith.”

Natalie Portman is enjoying a new romance with music producer Tanguy Destable.

“Natalie and Tanguy have been seeing each other for a few months,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, adding that it hasn’t been “too long, but they are having a great time together.”

The insider adds that Destable, 44, is “very outgoing and boisterous” and “is really into” Portman, 43. The pair have a “few mutual friends,” which is how Destable and Portman first crossed paths.

“Natalie is very happy with Tanguy,” a separate insider shares.

Natalie Portman Dating Musician Tanguy Destable After Divorce: Reports

Multiple outlets reported earlier this month that Portman is dating Destable. Us reached out for comment at the time. (French publication Voici was the first to break the news on Friday, March 7.)

Portman’s new relationship comes one year after she finalized her divorce from Benjamin Millepied. Portman and Millepied, who met on the set of 2010’s Black Swan, exchanged vows two years later. The pair are parents to son Aleph, 13, and daughter Amalia, 8.

Rumors swirled in June 2023 that Portman and Millepied’s marriage was on the rocks when he was accused of having an affair with climate activist Camille Étienne. While Portman initially stuck by her husband’s side, Us confirmed in August 2023 that the twosome separated.

Months after Portman finalized her divorce from Millepied in March 2024, a source exclusively told Us that she has a “lighter step” and feels “more joy.” The insider added in June 2024, “Natalie is her confident self [again]. It took her a while to get her smile back after the divorce, but she has turned a corner.”

Natalie Portman Is Unfazed by Ex Benjamin Millepied Moving On Quickly

Later that month, Portman celebrated her birthday by paying tribute to her loved ones. “This year, on my birthday, I want to celebrate my gratitude for my friends who lift me up again and again,” Portman captioned an Instagram post in June 2024, alongside a series of images with her pals.

Millepied, for his part, was spotted in October 2024 kissing a mystery woman in Paris. An insider told Us in November 2024 that Portman learned about the photos shortly before they were made public.

“Natalie isn’t surprised that Benjamin has moved on because of how their relationship ended. She thought he’d move on pretty quickly,” a source exclusively told Us, adding that she “hopes Benjamin is happy.”

A separate source told Us that Millepied’s love life “doesn’t really have any bearing on Natalie,” adding, “She’s super happy in her life right now and has been prioritizing family and friends.”

Teddi Mellencamp is teaching her 10-year-old son how to take care of her wig after undergoing surgery for her brain tumors.

In an Instagram Story video shared on Sunday, March 9, Mellencamp’s son, Cruz, could be seen standing in front of a mirror with his mom’s wig on his head. Cruz smiled as he adjusted the wig, brushing pieces of hair away from his face with his hands.

“If you’re going to be on wig duty, you have to treat it really well, bud,” Mellencamp, 43, said as she recorded her son. (Mellencamp shares Cruz and daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 5, with estranged husband Edwin Arroyave.)

After Mellencamp suggested that Cruz should put the wig “on its head,” her son walked into the bathroom to grab a mannequin head and placed the hair on top.

“She needs a good brushing. Let’s brush her, OK? The hair brush is right here,” Mellencamp said while opening a drawer to retrieve the hair tool. “Give her a nice little brush. We don’t know when we’re going to wear her again.”

As Cruz brushed the wig, he set the mannequin head on the counter of the bathroom and the hair slightly slipped off.

“Uh oh. Oh, no. Now her forehead … I can’t be looking around like that,” Mellencamp said while Cruz laughed.

Mellencamp shared in February that she had been experiencing “severe and debilitating headaches” for weeks, with the pain becoming “unbearable” and requiring hospitalization.

Teddi Mellencamp’s Son Made ‘Feel Better’ Card After Her Brain Surgery

“After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months. Two of the tumors will be surgically removed today. The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date,” Teddi wrote via Instagram at the time.

She continued, “I am blessed to be surrounded by my children, family, friends, doctors, nurses and surgeons who are doing everything possible to get me back into better health. Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey.”

Hours later, Mellencamp uploaded an Instagram Story video of her friend shaving off her hair. “I’m gonna have this look on my bucket list,” Teddi quipped at the time. “My best look. I hate to break it to my brother but once I’m allowed to wash my hair and it’s not all spiky, I think I’ve taken you for a run for your money, Hud. I’ll see you tomorrow and we’ll see who wore it best.”

Teddi Mellencamp Reveals Doctors Found 5 More Tumors Amid Cancer Battle

After being hospitalized for over two weeks, Mellencamp shared the next month that she returned home. Days later, Mellencamp revealed that the doctors found more tumors throughout her body.

“I have multiple tumors in my brain that weren’t able to be removed via surgery. I also have 2 tumors in my lung. These are all metastases of my melanoma,” she wrote via Instagram on Thursday, March 6. “The doctors are hopeful that immunotherapy will effectively treat them. I am feeling positive — that I will win this battle, that I got this wig (I like the short hair, just not the bald spots), and that I can remember all of Angelina [Jolie]’s kids’ names.”

Kenan Thompson is reflecting on the “shock” of Michelle Trachtenberg’s death.

“I got that text from my business partner Johnny [Ryan Jr.] and I didn’t understand what the headline was,” Thompson, 46, told E! News in an interview published on Monday, March 10. “I just saw her picture, and it was like, ‘Pass away.’ Those are the two words that I saw and I was like, ‘That’s not right. Why would that be the case?’”

Us Weekly confirmed on February 26 that Trachtenberg was found unconscious inside her New York City apartment at age 39. The next day, the city medical examiner’s office told The New York Post that her death was officially listed as “undetermined” because her family objected to an autopsy. While multiple sources told Us that Trachtenberg had a liver transplant before her death, it is unclear whether the organ transplant played a role in her death.

“If she was suffering, it would have been nice to have been one of the people that might have been able to ease some of that suffering,” Thompson said. “Anything like that. If she needed a shoulder or an extra ear. She’s loved. I just hope that there’s no more pain now.”

Kenan Thompson Reacts to 'Friend' Michelle Trachtenberg's Death

After the Saturday Night Live star and Trachtenberg met in the ‘90s, Thompson said the pair were “semi-going back-and-forth” with each other on Instagram — but not on a regular basis, “just randomly.”

“When we did Good Burger, she was like, ‘Where’s my cameo? Happy for you guys,’” he said of the 1997 film. “I wish it was a lot less sporadic. Just [make] sure that you know what people are going through.”

Days after Trachtenberg’s death, the Gossip Girl actress was omitted from the 2025 Oscars In Memoriam montage. However, she was listed as one of the names that Hollywood has lost in 2024-2025 on the official Academy website.

Thompson, for his part, reacted to Trachtenberg’s exclusion from the ceremony. “Shame on you, Oscars,” he said.

Michelle Trachtenberg Was ‘Thrown’ Health ‘Curveballs’ Before Death

After news broke of Trachtenberg’s death last month, Thompson paid tribute to the actress. Alongside his message, Thompson shared a clip of the twosome from the 1999 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. Trachtenberg appeared as a commentator during a “mega mini golf” competition between Thompson and Randy “Macho Man” Savage.

“Our first Nick movie star has departed us!!” Thompson wrote via Instagram. “She was my friend and now she rests!! Check on your people!!! .”
