Sophie Nyweide's Friend Said Late Actress Had 'Hope' to Survive Addiction

25 April 2025 at 17:15

Sophie Nyweide‘s friend and former partner, Eden Herlihy, is remembering the good times she had with the late actress.

“She had hope … I’ve lost a lot of people to addiction sadly,” Herlihy said in an interview with TMZ on Friday, April 25. “Me and Sophie lost a lot of friends to this disease over the past couple of years. We knew the severity of it.”

Herlihy explained that she and Nyweide met at a residential treatment center called Elevations in Utah. Elevations focuses on helping kids from the age of 13 to 18 as they struggle with anxiety, depression, bullying and other issues.

As they knew each other for quite some time, Herlihy shared that she and Nyweide were by each other’s sides as they struggled with addiction themselves. Herlihy claimed that she was around when Nyweide “was using” drugs and stated they would also use together.

Former Child Star Sophie Nyweide Dead at 24

While Herlihy and Nyweide experienced loss due to addiction, she never thought that the former child star would meet the same fate.

“No one is ever the right person to go. No one is meant to go from this disease, at least in my opinion. But I never thought it would be her because we fought so hard to survive the stuff we’ve gone through in our lives,” she said. “She was the last person I was expecting to die from this disease because she was so strong.”

When Herlihy first met Nyweide, she noticed immediately how warm and welcoming she was to others.

“She didn’t judge anybody, she wasn’t like the regular girls of our age group that [were] judging each other,” Herlihy recalled. “She was kind off the bat. [She] wasn’t talking bad about anybody. She just wanted everybody to feel safe and cared for.”

Nyweide’s family confirmed on Tuesday, April 22, that the former child actress died. She was 24 years old.

“Sophie. A life ended too soon,” the obituary read. “May it not be in vain. May we all learn from her brief life on earth and do better. Yes, we must all protect our children and do better.”

Child Star Sophie Nyweide Was Pregnant When She Died at Age 24

Officials in Bennington, Vermont, confirmed that Nyweide’s body was found on April 14 in a wooded area along the banks of the Roaring Branch River. An unnamed individual was with the former child actress at the time of her death and called emergency services. The person is cooperating with investigators.

Law enforcement stated that they were investigating Nyweide’s death as “a possible unintentional overdose.”

According to Nyweide’s death certificate, which was obtained by Us Weekly, the actress was pregnant. While the paperwork did not state how far along she was in the pregnancy, a source told People that Nyweide was in the early stages.

RHOBH’s Dorit Kemsley and Husband PK Kemsley File for Divorce

25 April 2025 at 17:12

Dorit Kemsley and her husband, PK Kemsley, have filed for divorce after nearly one year after announcing that they were taking some time apart.

Dorit filed for the dissolution of her marriage to PK on Friday, April 25, according to legal documents obtained by Us Weekly.

She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the split. Dorit is also asking for sole legal and physical custody of the former couple’s children, son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, 9. In addition, Dorit is requesting spousal support.

The court filing comes one day after PK was photographed kissing The Amazing Race alum Shana Wall outside Cipriani’s in Beverly Hills, California.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars confirmed in May 2024 that they had separated after previously denying rumors of a split.

“We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage. We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together,” they wrote via Instagram at the time. “To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children. We appreciate your love and support while we continue to do the work necessary throughout this journey.”

All the Signs That ‘RHOBH’ Stars Dorit and PK Kemsley Were Headed for a Split

Dorit and PK met in 2011 and tied the knot in March 2015. During their relationship, they welcomed their two children, Jagger and Phoenix, in February 2014 and February 2016, respectively.

Split speculation began in October 2022 when Erika Jayne predicted that Dorit and PK would be the next Bravo couple to call it quits. However, both denied the allegation, which Erika later claimed was a joke.

“Misery loves company. What else can [I] say 🤷🏼‍♀️. Our friends, those that truly know us, know what we have and who we are,” Dorit responded in an Instagram comment at the time.

PK, for his part, questioned Erika’s knowledge on the matter. “Erika thought her husband was innocent,” he wrote via Instagram, referring to her ex Tom Girardi’s embezzlement lawsuit. “She thought the ankle is more important than the brain. She thought she should keep the earrings. Now she thinks Dorit and I are next to split up. Here’s a quick bit of management advice: Stop thinking!”

RHOBH's Dorit and PK Kemsley’s Relationship Timeline

In October 2023, the duo once again denied that their marriage was over after PK was spotted without his wedding ring amid reports that he was living in a hotel.

“We remain committed to working through these issues as a united couple for our family,” they said in a joint statement. “We have not separated nor are we planning to do so. Rather, we are focused on healing, making changes and doing the things that many couples have to do at some point in their marriage.”

Still, multiple sources confirmed to Us Weekly at the time that PK was living separately from Dorit as they attempted to save their marriage. “They both agree it’s the right thing to do,” an insider said. “It’s been a rough period for them. They want to stay on amicable terms whether they stay together or not.”

Dorit, meanwhile, assured Us in November 2023 that she and PK remained “hopeful” about their future together, adding that they were “working on the marriage.”

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez at Odds Over Sale of Los Angeles Home

25 April 2025 at 17:00

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez appear to be in a disagreement over the home they once shared while married.

“Jennifer thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is,” a source exclusively shares with Us Weekly. “But the real estate market is not there and it’s not selling.”

As for Affleck, 52, the insider says he is ready to sell regardless of what the final offer may be.

“Ben wants to get rid of it because their divorce is over and he wants to cut all ties and have it be done,” the source explains. “He just wants it over and to sell it. He wants to reduce the price.”

Ben Affleck Buys $20 Million Home in Los Angeles Without Jennifer Lopez

Lopez and Affleck’s shared Beverly Hills mansion was put on the market in July 2024 for $68 million. The former couple purchased the property for $60 million in June 2023 after tying the knot in July 2022.

At the time, a source said the pair originally thought they could sell it off-market, “but made a game-time decision in order to put more eyes on the property.”

“They are in a rush to sell it,” the source said. “Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there. The house is incredibly huge at 38,000 square feet and Ben and Jen never felt settled at the house. They rarely have the kids full time, so it felt huge for the two of them.”

As the property stays on the market, the “On the Floor” singer and actor have been able to finalize their divorce, with a Los Angeles judge signing off on the documents in February.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 'Planned' Divorce, 'Agreed' to Terms

When Lopez, 55, initially filed for divorce in August 2024 after two years of marriage, she cited irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split.

Since then, Lopez reportedly purchased a new home near Los Angeles for about $18 million.

Although both parties have tried to keep the reasons behind their split private, Affleck recently cleared up some rumors about what led to their divorce.

In a March interview with GQ, the Oscar winner was asked about why he chose to be involved in Lopez’s 2024 documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. The film was a companion piece to her 2024 visual album, This Is Me … Now, and included scenes where Affleck discussed their relationship.

“Part of it was, ‘OK, if I’m going to participate in this, I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way that’s interesting,’” he explained. “Because I thought it was an interesting examination.”

Affleck went on to give Lopez credit for being someone who “handled celebrity more adeptly and more adroitly than I have.”

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s Relationship Timeline

“My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers,” he admitted. “As happens in relationships, you don’t always have the same attitude towards these things. And so I thought, ‘Oh, this is interesting because how do you reconcile that?’ Because … I love and support this person. I believe in them. They’re great. I want people to see that.”

Later in the interview, Affleck said it was “important to say” that there wasn’t “some major fracture” in his and Lopez’s marriage. In fact, he has “nothing but respect” for his ex today.

Us Weekly has reached out to Affleck and Lopez’s reps for comment.

This Oddly Flattering Loose Dress Seriously Looks Designer — Just $19 Right Now

25 April 2025 at 17:00

Dress season is great and all, but I’ve stocked up on one too many designs that lean a little too formal. While I bought them with the intention of having a classy, ultra-luxe aesthetic at all times, I’ll be honest — I rarely reach for them. Who wants to be overdressed, constricted and uncomfortable everywhere they go?

While the goal is to still look chic on a daily basis, I also want it to be effortless. Instead of squeezing into a floor-length something I once thought would be “perfect” for the grocery store, I found a comfy everyday dress that is the epitome of quiet luxury. It’s soft, stretchy, minimalist and beyond flattering, giving my look rich mom flair while hiding insecurities. Oh, and right now, it’s just $19 on Amazon!

Dokotoo’s loose, knee-length dress is made from a blend of polyester, viscose and elastane that drapes the body beautifully. The material is lightweight and breathable for hot days, but holds its shape enough that it doesn’t stick to the body. It’s ideal for spring and summer weather, and the skin-soft fabric is only part of the draw.

The relaxed, crewneck frock features slightly puffy, three-quarter sleeves that add interest while visually slimming the arms. Solid colorways ensure the piece is a breeze to style, but in my opinion, the most expensive-looking version is the oatmeal. Hidden pockets are a functional bonus, making the dress a home run in the “everything” department.

Since this pick is both simple and sophisticated, it pairs beautifully with every type of shoe, from sneakers and flip-flops to cowboy boots and strappy sandals. You can also wear it with Birkenstock slides for a laid-back, beachy twist. I prefer rocking the Dokotoo’s design in a fuss-free, everyday way, layering on necklaces and adding white sneakers, an oversized tote and dainty bracelets. However, you can also dress things up with wedges, tights and a blazer for days at the office.

This $20 Breezy Rich Mom Blouse Has the Power to Enhance Your Whole Wardrobe

Reviewers are even more creative with styling than I am, adding belts and leggings throughout the chilly months. It’s no wonder that shoppers are grabbing multiple colors — it’s the ideal year-round look!

“I highly recommend this dress for anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable and functional addition to their wardrobe,” one reviewer wrote. “It pairs beautifully with boots or flats, or even tennis, and is versatile enough to dress up or down. The quality of the fabric is extremely light, soft and cozy, making it ideal for fall. I loved it so much when I tried it on, that I ended up wearing it!”

Right now, Dokotoo’s design is slightly discounted, allowing you to save 24% when you shop. Hurry and grab it on sale while you still can, then work it into your outfit rotation ASAP!

Get the Dokotoo Casual Dress With Pockets for $19 (originally $25) on Amazon! Please note prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.

Patriots Rookie Will Campbell and Ashlynn Nussmeier’s Relationship Timeline

25 April 2025 at 16:52

New England Patriots rookie Will Campbell went into the 2025 NFL Draft with his girlfriend, Ashlynn Nussmeier, in his corner — and she knows her football.

Campbell was drafted No. 4 in the April 2025 draft by the Patriots and Nussmeier was on hand to witness the big moment as was the offensive tackle’s family.

“She’s amazing,” Campbell exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2025 of his girlfriend, whom he met while playing at Louisiana State University. “She has a football background, so she knows what it takes, the sacrifices that have to be made. If she wasn’t as good with that type of stuff, I’m sure it would be a lot more difficult. But she’s a rock star.”

While Campbell is the one on the field, Nussmeier has become his No. 1 fan. Her knowledge of the game, however, was ingrained at a young age as her father, Doug Nussmeier, is a coach in the NFL. (Doug was the quarterbacks coach for the Philadelphia Eagles when they won Super Bowl LIX in February 2025 before becoming the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints.)

“So back,” Ashlynn captioned a series of Instagram photos from the start of the 2024-2025 school year, including a snap with Campbell. The picture of the duo on the LSU campus seemed to soft launch their romance on social media.

Ashlynn first popped up on Campbell’s Instagram one month later among several photos from his final year as an LSU Tiger. “Joshua 1:9 #LLTB,” he captioned the carousel, including a sweet picture with Ashlynn inside Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.

The bible verse referenced states, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go,” seemingly referring to Campbell’s work ethic on and off the football field.

Campbell exclusively told Us that his relationship with Ashlynn has been “very easygoing” despite him no longer living in Baton Rouge. “[It’s] the same as it was whenever I was living [there],” he said of their dynamic.

That same month, Ashlynn made the trip to Green Bay, Wisconsin, and walked the red carpet with Campbell for the NFL Draft. After the Patriots selected him in the first round, Ashlynn showed support for her man on social media.

She reposted the Patriots, LSU and Campbell’s official draft announcement and added two clapping hands emojis via her Instagram Story.

Ashlynn’s brother Garrett Nussmeier — who is Campbell’s former teammate and the LSU quarterback — also sent his congratulations via a video call. “I’m so proud of you,” Garrett said. “They got a franchise player. They got a hall of famer.” Ashlynn reposted the cute video, adding a teary emoji and blue heart via her Instagram Story.

All the Met Gala Co-Chairs Who Set the Tone on Fashion’s Biggest Night

25 April 2025 at 16:15

Toast of the town! The annual Met Gala has been the biggest night in fashion since the 1940s — and being a co-chair for the event has become a coveted title.

The Met Gala was established in 1948 to raise money for then-newly founded Costume Institute. With the help of Vogue, which is a longtime partner for the event, the gala has evolved into the most talked-about night in the fashion industry.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute has housed the gala and the corresponding fashion exhibit since the early 1970s, but before that the Met Gala was held at a variety of New York City venues, including the Waldorf-Astoria, Central Park and the Rainbow Room.

The role of celebrity and socialite co-chairs dates back to 1973. That year, there were two events: one in March and one in December, with Phyllis Ellsworth Dillon helming the second bash (the theme was “The 10s, the 20s, the 30s: Inventive Clothes: 1909–1939.”)

Couples Who Made Their Red Carpet Debut at the Met Gala

Philanthropist Jane Engelhard was the co-chair of the “Romantic and Glamorous Hollywood Design” event in 1974 and the “American Women of Style” fete in 1975, before Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis took on the role in both 1976.

It wasn’t until 1995 that Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, came on board as the chairperson for the Costume Institute. Since 1997, she has been a co-chair for every Met Gala held in New York City. In 2021, however, the fashion icon stepped back and took on the role of honorary co-chair for the first time.

“I was very honored when they first asked me to become involved [with the gala] because there was such a tradition of Vogue always supporting the Met,” Wintour told the Business of Fashion in April 2017. “I thought of it with great affection and connection [when I first started at the magazine] and I think obviously we have opened it up to maybe a larger world than the society world that it was when Mrs. [Diana] Vreeland was there. It was more society and fashion, and we broadened that.”

In the early 2000s, Nicole Kidman found herself among the first Hollywood A-listers asked to be a co-chair by Wintour. The honor has evolved over the decades that followed, with the 2021 list of co-chairs including actors, athletes, and designers.

Poet Amanda Gorman joined Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish and Naomi Osaka as co-chairs at the return of the gala in September 2021, as the 2020 event was canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic. (The 2021 soiree was pushed to September as the virus continued to spread worldwide.)

“We really want people to have fun and enjoy dressing up again,” Wintour said during a Good Morning America appearance that month. “We also want to see a lot of independence and individuality. And a different kind of spirit, something that breaks the rules a bit.”

Ahead of the 2022 event, Wintour reminisced about the Met Gala and its legacy. “To me, what’s wonderful about the Met is that it’s such an incredible mix, and maybe there are some outlets to tend to the fantastical creations that you might see Monday night, but if you are a true fashion follower and you look at the carpet, you will see there is the most amazing mix,” she said during an April 2022 interview with the Washington Post. “In that mix, are truly exquisite, couture or ready-to-wear by wonderful designers. Not everything at all, by any means, is a chandelier or a teapot or whatever it may be.”

In January 2023, it was announced that Dua Lipa, Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer and Wintour would serve as co-chairs for the event on the first Monday in May, which would honor late Chanel and Fendi fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld with the theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”

For 2024's "Garden of Time" dress code, the co-chairs were quite a varied but equally stylish group: Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth all joined Wintour in hosting the annual affair — and their red-carpet looks pushed the sartorial envelope in more ways than one.

The theme for the 2025 costume exhibit is “Tailored for You.” The evening's co-chairs bring together a diverse mix of luminaries from the world of fashion, the arts, music and sports: Louis Vuitton Men's Creative Director Pharrell Williams, rapper ASAP Rocky, actor-playwright Colman Domingo and Formula 1 racecar driver Lewis Hamilton, while LeBron James has been named honorary co-chair. Chosen to set the tone at the Oscars of fashion, naturally, every 2025 co-chair has consistently landed on all of the best-dressed lists from Met Balls of the past.

Roseanne Barr’s Most Controversial Moments

25 April 2025 at 16:04

Roseanne Barr is no stranger to controversy.

Long before ABC chose to cancel the reboot of Roseanne in 2018, the actress made headlines for a variety of reasons including a controversial National Anthem performance and a run for president.

Years after Barr’s Roseanne character was killed off The Conners, Us Weekly learned exclusive details about her private life in Texas, where she lives with her son Jake Pentland and his family.

In addition to working on “The Roseanne Barr” podcast, Barr spends her days spoiling her grandchildren, exploring the family’s large property and trying to stay out of trouble.

Roseanne Barr: 25 Things You Don't Know About Me!

“We have 30 acres and live up in what they call ‘Hill Country,’” Pentland shared with Us in April 2025. “Roseanne also drives the tractor often, which allows her to mow the lawn. She drives around. She occasionally runs into trees, but just keeps the yard up.”

Regardless of where she calls home, Barr can’t help but make a few headlines for her actions and beliefs. Keeping reading as Us Weekly takes a look back at some of the star’s most shocking and controversial moments through the years.

The actress famously sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” ahead of a San Diego Padres vs. Cincinnati Reds game in July 1990 — and it was screechy, to say the least. She ended the performance by spitting and grabbing her crotch, mimicking the actions of some baseball players. Her rendition was widely criticized and even caught the attention of then-president George H.W. Bush, who called it “disgraceful.”

Barr, who is Jewish, posed as Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler in a July 2009 photo shoot for the satirical Jewish magazine Heeb. The theme was her idea and featured her wearing a faux mustache and a swastika armband while holding a tray of burnt gingerbread men cookies. Barr defended the photos in a 2011 episode of The Green Room With Paul Provenza, saying there was “another, deeper layer” to them.

The Emmy winner announced on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno in August 2011 that she planned to run for president as a Green Party candidate in the 2012 election. She later switched over to the Peace and Freedom Party ticket and often used her platform to criticize her former Green Party rival Jill Stein. Barr ultimately finished in sixth place in the popular vote.

Barr tweeted the home address of George Zimmerman’s parents, Robert and Gladys Zimmerman, in March 2012 after George shot and killed unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin. The comedian added, “If Zimmerman isn’t arrested I’ll [retweet] his address again. maybe go 2 his house myself.” Robert and Gladys sued Barr in March 2014, claiming they were forced to go into hiding for years because of the tweet. The lawsuit was dismissed in July 2015 because the address was considered to be public information.

The TV star spread a disproven conspiracy theory on Twitter that David Hogg, one of the survivors of the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, gave a Nazi salute at the gun control demonstration March for Our Lives. She later deleted the tweet.

Barr called Valerie Jarrett, an ex-adviser to former president Barack Obama, an offspring of “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes” in a since-deleted tweet in May 2018. She later apologized and called the racist post a “joke [that] was in bad taste.” Hours later, ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey announced that the reboot of Roseanne had been canceled, saying in a statement, “Roseanne’s Twitter is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.”

The Roseanne alum raised some eyebrows in April 2019 when she started discussing the LGBTQ+ community in a YouTube video.
“All that LGBTQ stuff, I put the ‘Q’ in LGBTQ, OK?” she said. ‘Cause I am queer as two motherf***ers. I’m queer. I’m alien. I don’t belong here with all these people. They make no sense. They are very queer. And that makes me … a queer, I guess?”
According to GLAAD, “queer” is an adjective used by some people, particularly younger individuals, to describe their sexual orientation if it is not exclusively heterosexual.

In April 2020, the comedian shared a hot take on the coronavirus pandemic while appearing on Norm Macdonald’s YouTube series.
“I think they’re just trying to get rid of all my generation,” Barr speculated on Quarantined With Norm Macdonald. “The boomer ladies that, you know, that inherited their, you know, are widows. They inherited the money, so they got to go wherever the money is and figure out a way to get it from people.”
At the time of the podcast taping, COVID-19 had taken the lives of more than 73,000 people worldwide since December 2019, with cases reported in nearly every country.

Ever since Barr’s Roseanne character was killed off by an opioid overdose in a 2018 episode of The Conners, the actress has not been complimentary about the show.
“I AIN’T DEAD, BITCHES!!!!” she shared via X after the show premiered in October 2018.
Despite Barr’s exit from the show, The Conners had a successful seven-season run. When the series concluded in 2025, Barr claimed to have no idea.
“We don’t care about cheap knockoffs,” her son, Jake Pentland, told Us Weekly in April 2025. “We support the real brands. We only pay attention to things that matter to the American people.”

I Rarely Rave About Foundations, but This Meghan Markle Fave Makes My Skin Look Airbrushed

25 April 2025 at 16:00

I’ve been working in the magazine world for six years now, and not once have I spotted Meghan Markle’s skin looking anything less than perfect. Her face always has this enough-but-not-too-much foundation look that I’m forever figuring out how to replicate — and now, her secret has been spilled. She apparently uses a second-skin foundation, and after trying the product, I can safely say I totally look airbrushed.

On a random Tuesday night, I put the Markle-approved No Makeup Makeup Foundation to the test, and after much anticipation, I was blown away by the results. The Duchess of Sussex recently revealed via her official ShopMy account that the compact is one of her recommended beauty products, and anyone who tries it will understand why. It not only streamlined my makeup routine, but it also left my skin looking like I was wearing a beauty filter in real life.

Thanks to the name, the brand doesn’t hide exactly what its intent is — to make makeup products look like your skin but better. That’s exactly what this foundation did for me. The buildable formula has a lightweight, balmy texture that conceals, corrects and even camouflages any blemishes or imperfections. Unlike skin tints and foundations I’ve tried in the past, this is the only one that truly covered up my rosacea, even without the help of concealer.

Though it comes in 13 shades, ranging from porcelain to deep, the foundation also uses shade-adaptive FlexShade Technology. That means you can take the pressure off of picking the absolute perfect color, since the product adapts to your skin’s unique shade and undertones for a flawless look. Since I use self-tanner, I ended up selecting shade 04 light medium. . . and quickly realized I should’ve gone with shade 03 light. Luckily, thanks to FlexShade, the foundation was still able to blend with my skin.

Another thing that impressed me about No Makeup Makeup’s foundation (and what earned it a permanent spot in my makeup bag) is how it helped speed up my routine. I’m normally someone who will use primer, tint, bronzing drops and concealer in an effort to perfectly layer my look. I decided to skip all of that when testing the product (minus some under-eye concealer) and still ended up with flawless-looking results. It had me wondering why I had all of those extra steps in the first place. Turns out, there actually is a foundation out there that can do it all.

I used the foundation in conjunction with the brand’s Perfect Foundation Brush and would definitely recommend grabbing that as well. The tool is the ideal size, shape and density for applying the foundation. I’ve used similar brushes when applying liquids, but combined with the product’s balmier texture, it ended up being easier to glide on than I thought. It only took a few swipes before I was on to concealer.

If you’re someone who doesn’t like heavy foundations or cakey looks, Markle and I agree: This foundation is a must-try! If the soft-focus finish weren’t enough, the clean and safe formula is also free of hormone disruptors — a hard-to-find feature in today’s beauty market! At $55, the miracle-working find does sit closer to a luxury price point, but to me, the extra money is totally worth it. A little goes a long way with this next-level complexion enhancer.

'Bachelorette' Star Tayshia Adams' Dating History

25 April 2025 at 15:57

From Bachelorette to Bravo. Tayshia Adams has fielded her fair share of public romances over the years.

Before Bachelor Nation met Adams on season 23 of The Bachelor in 2019, she was married to her college sweetheart, Josh Bourelle.

“I actually married my first boyfriend, and I was with him for about six years or so. I guess I could, kind of, sense we weren’t doing very well,” Adams told Colton Underwood on the ABC show. “And I think that’s why I fought so hard just to try to do as much as I possibly could [to save the marriage].”

The twosome split in August 2017 and he filed for divorce that October after less than two years of marriage. She accused Bourelle of infidelity.

“Her going out and saying that I cheated on her and that was the reason for our divorce on national TV, I felt like, kind of crossed the line a little bit,” Bourelle said on the “Reality Steve Podcast” in December 2020. “I feel like she was using that as her sob story to make her look better. It was hurtful to me. We’re humans. She made just as many mistakes — maybe even more mistakes than I did over the course of our relationship.”

After her stint on The Bachelor, Adams appeared on Bachelor in Paradise before she was named the season 16 Bachelorette — taking over for Clare Crawley after she thought she found The One in Dale Moss within the first two weeks of production in 2020.

During the December 2020 finale, Adams got engaged to Zac Clark. Nearly one year later, the twosome announced that they had called their engagement off, but stayed mum on the reason why.

“Him and I both know the truth and where we stand, and I’ve actually never said anything in the media about our relationship except for [that] we’re no longer together,” Adams told Us Weekly in December 2022. “And I know people might think otherwise, but that’s literally the only statement we’ve ever given out. I think that’s just something about maturity and how we decided to proceed and yeah, at the end of the day, no one else needs to know anything else.”

Adams added at the time that she wasn’t sure she was ready to be in another public relationship.

“I think that’s another lesson I’ve learned is I really wanna protect that in the future, and kind of, maybe, keep it quiet and under wraps for a minute and then maybe let the people in on the news after a little while,” she said. “People are private investigators. I don’t even know how they figure out half the things they do now.”

The former couple split in October 2017 after less than two years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in April 2018. Adams explained in January 2019 why she was hesitant to open up about her divorce on the Bachelor.
“My divorce used to be something I was ashamed of,” she wrote via Instagram. “Because to me it represented, not only to myself but to everyone that knew me, that I had failed at marriage, something I value so highly. It made me question my worth and completely dimmed the light inside of me that used to shine so brightly.”

Adams began dating the model in November 2017 after meeting at a bar in their hometown of Newport Beach, California. Us broke the news in February 2019 that Adams was dating Olswang right before she left to film Underwood's season in September 2018.
“I moved some things around … before she ended up deciding to leave [for The Bachelor], because she still wasn’t really sure if she was going to go on the show or not,” Olswang told Us at the time. “She was still back and forth … she wasn’t sure. As it got closer, I could kind of see changes between us and I could kind of tell that she was leaning toward going. I don’t know all of the exact reasons for that. … There is an open line of communication. We’re there for each other if we need to be, but things have changed quite a bit since she’s come back.”

Underwood sent Adams home after the fantasy suite dates during season 23 of The Bachelor in 2019. She revealed during the show that she thought The First Time author was a bad kisser. “Yeah, not gonna lie. But he got better by the end of the season! I think I’m a good teacher,” she said at the time.
The Indiana native referenced her criticism when he congratulated her on becoming the Bachelorette. “Congrats @TayshiaAdams — good luck and I hope you find yourself a better kisser 😉," he tweeted in August 2020.

Adams found herself in a love triangle between Peth and Jones during season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2019. Things heated up between Peth and Adams after Demi Burnett broke up with the banker to be with Kristian Haggerty. However, Adams ended her fling with Peth later in the show.

Adams and the actor began dating during season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2019. The pair called it quits before the finale, but reunited on the After the Final Rose episode after she flew to his home state of Maryland to win him back. Although Jones moved to California to be closer to her, they split again in October 2019.
Jones told Us in August 2020 that he's "happy" Adams is the new Bachelorette. “I’m really happy and excited for her on this new journey,” he said at the time. “I hope she finds the love and happiness that she deserves.”

During Adams’ stint as the season 16 Bachelorette, she developed strong feelings for her final four: Zac Clark, Ben Smith, Ivan Hall and Brendan Morais. In the end, however, Clark won her heart and proposed during the December 2020 finale.
“It’s this wild, wild love that I have tried to come up with so many reasons to not believe, and you have truly just made me believe there doesn’t need to be flaws, and that I deserve a love with a man that won’t run away,” she gushed ahead of the proposal. “You’ve truly woken up my heart, and yes, it is real. I feel it too.”
Zac replied, “If you’ll let me, I’m going to choose you right now. I’m going to choose you tomorrow morning. I’m going to choose you next week and next year. I’m going to choose you forever, because I love you.”
In November 2021, the duo called it quits nearly one year after their engagement aired. “Tayshia Adams and Zac Clark are no longer a couple,” a representative told Us at the time.

Adams sparked dating speculation with the Summer House alum in early 2023. That April, his former costar Lindsay Hubbard shared — and deleted — a pic of the pair holding hands at an Easter celebration. When asked about removing the photo, Hubbard confirmed they were dating but trying to keep things quiet.
“I understand what it’s like to be in the public and the pressure that you feel from viewers and fans [and] everywhere,” she said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that month.
In April 2025, Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that Adams and Gulbranson split after two years of dating.
