Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris had a joyeux noël in the City of Lights.

“Comment dit-on ‘’Tis the Season’ en français? 🎄,” Bush, 42, wrote in French via Instagram on Friday, December 27, sharing a slew of pictures of the couple in Paris. (Bush’s social media caption translates to “How do you say ’Tis the Season’ in French?”)

In the Instagram carousel, Bush and Harris, 39, cuddled under the Eiffel Tower, hit up museums, enjoyed cozy dinners, saw a show at Crazy Horse Paris and packed on the PDA along the way. In one snap, Bush snapped a selfie while kissing the soccer star.

Bush and Harris also celebrated the festive season with her former One Tree Hill costar Hilarie Burton Morgan. “From France to Mischeif [sic], it’s been a great couple of weeks,” Bush gushed via Instagram Story. “Feeling incredibly grateful for the humans that are my humans.”

“21 years of holidays and trouble-making,” Bush wrote via another Story post, sharing a selfie with Harris, Burton Morgan, Morgan, 58, and the spouses’ two kids: Gus and George.

At the intimate bash, Bush and Harris twinned in holiday sweaters.

“@Amazon sweaters for the win,” Harris quipped via her Instagram Story, sharing a loved-up pic of Bush sitting on her lap.

Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris’ Relationship Timeline: Friends to Romance

Bush and Harris were first linked in October 2023 following their respective splits from Grant Hughes and Ali Krieger. A source confirmed to Us Weekly at the time that the pair met at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June. Bush and Harris’ connection, according to the insider, only turned romantic after they each filed to end their previous marriages.

Bush, for her part, publicly came out as queer in April of this year.

“As I came into myself, I already felt it was my home. I think I’ve always known that my sexuality exists on a spectrum,” she wrote in a Glamour essay. “Right now I think the word that best defines it is queer. I can’t say it without smiling, actually. And that feels pretty great.”

Bush added at the time, “I don’t think I can explain how profound that is. I feel like I was wearing a weighted vest for who knows how long. I hadn’t realized how heavy it was until I finally just put it down.”

She and Harris made their red carpet debut weeks later at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

DWTS’ Lindsay Arnold Shares Her Plans to Get a Breast Augmentation, Lift

27 December 2024 at 05:13

Dancing With the Stars alum Lindsay Arnold is going under the knife to celebrate the holiday season and her birthday.

“My Christmas present this year is that I’m getting a breast augmentation,” Arnold, 30, said in a Thursday, December 26, TikTok video. “Guys, I’m freaking out … but I’m also so excited. That is happening in, like, a little over two weeks.”

Arnold then detailed the timeline for her upcoming procedure.

“I am turning 31 on January 11, and Sam [Cusick] and I are going to Mexico for a little getaway,” she said, referring to her husband. “We’re doing three nights and then we get home. The next day, I am getting my breast augmentation. I am also getting a lift. … It’s just so many decisions and it’s hard that you make the choices for yourself and you have to live with those choices.”

How Lindsay Arnold Maintains Her Smile and Takes Care of Her Skin

While the accelerated timeline has been “a bit of a whirlwind” for Arnold, she “always knew” she wanted a breast augmentation.

“It’s something I’m very excited about,” Arnold added. “I know there’s mixed opinions on this type of thing, and so I get it. … If it’s not for you, it’s not for you.”

In the comments section of her post, one follower further asked how Arnold would explain the process to her 3-year-old daughter, Sage.

“Hahaha not sure how I will either quite yet,” Arnold, who also shares 10-month-old daughter June with husband Cusick, replied.

@lindsarnold

Let me know what you think and if you want to come along this journey with me 🫶🏻🫶🏻 #grwm #grwmroutine #grwmmakeup #makeuproutine #momsoftiktok #lifeupdates #christmasrecap #momlife #getready #getreadywithme #breastaugmentation #breastaugmentationjourney

Arnold has previously been candid about her plastic surgery experience.

“I’ve been getting Botox for years now,” the choreographer said in a January 2023 social media video. “I get it in between my brows, I get it on my forehead. I obviously am not doing it right now because I’m pregnant. I also have gotten lip injections for a long time as well. I haven’t done it in a while, so any changes you’re noticing now are changes from my face swelling during pregnancy. People are always like, ‘Well, why are you trying to hide it?’”

Arnold has since learned to embrace the natural look after becoming a parent.

“Since becoming a mom, it has changed so much for me,” Arnold exclusively told Us Weekly in May. “I feel like beauty comes from within. … I am very much, ‘Less is more’ when it comes to skincare and makeup. I wish I cared more about this when I was younger, but [now] I’ve got a full routine that I’m consistent with every single day.”

She added, “Staying healthy and doing things that feel good to my body every single day is so important. When I feel good, I feel confident.”

Arnold also hopes to pass her beauty wisdom onto Sage and June.

“I want them to know that beauty comes from within and comes from how you feel about yourself,” she told Us. “I hope to just instill confidence in them and help them know that they are perfect just the way that they are and that they are beautiful in their own skin.”

Simone Biles and Husband Jonathan Owens Pack on the PDA Before Bears Game

Feature Simone Biles and Husband Jonathan Owens Pack on the PDA Before Bears Game
Simone Biles kisses her husband, Jonathan Owens of the Chicago Bears prior to an NFL football game against the Seattle Seahawks at Soldier Field on December 26, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.

While Jonathan Owens and the Chicago Bears lost their Thursday, December 26, game against the Seattle Seahawks, he made up with sideline support.

Owens, 29, received a sweet kiss from wife Simone Biles ahead of the matchup. The couple, who have been married since spring 2023, packed on the PDA at the Bears’ home Soldier Field.

Moments before their kiss, Owens was taken aback that the Olympic gymnast, 27, wore a custom outfit plastered with images of himself.

Biles, known for her chic game day style, stepped out in a cropped fleece hoodie that had pictures of Owens in his uniform across the front, back and sleeves. She wore a matching pair of patchwork pants, both of which were crafted by Philadelphia-based designer Kelly Daley. Biles accessorized her look with a white Chanel handbag and a simple pair of diamond stud earrings.

For glam, Biles wore her hair in a coiffed bob with a rosy lipstick.

“Thursday night football,” Biles later wrote via Instagram Story. “Gvng🤞.”

Biles became a football fan after she started dating Owens in 2020. (They famously matched on the dating app Raya but he was unaware of her own athletic career.)

Simone Biles looks on before the game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on December 26, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.

“Well, I could probably explain [football] to a 5-year-old,” Biles quipped in a recent Instagram video for the Olympics. “But, if I’m explaining it to a 25-year-old, it might not make sense.”

Simone Biles' Husband Gives His Best Gymnastics Salute After Forced Fumble

According to Biles, the NFL safety “knows so much” more about gymnastics. Owens even received special permission from his Bears coaches to miss a handful of training camp practices to watch her compete at the summer Olympics.

Ahead of the July competition, Owens gave Us Weekly insight into how he supports his wife’s gymnastics meets.

“It is not much motivation you need to do, just because you don’t want to put extra, added pressure on anyone,” Owens exclusively told Us. “I just tell her, ‘Go do your thing, baby.’… As long as she’s there, she’s on the field, give her a kiss and we can go about our way.”

He continued at the time, “You get a different type of focus whenever you just have this one person that you’re focusing on. And I ain’t saying there’s something wrong with being single, but for me, knowing myself, I’ve played a lot better since [meeting Simone], I’ve just been focused and locked in, and you come home, talk about my day and play with the dogs, you know what I mean? That’s just kind of, like, our thing.”

After Biles clinched multiple medals in Paris, she embarked on a Gold Across America tour with the other American gymnasts. After the shows concluded this fall, she spent most of her downtime cheering on Owens at his games.

Donald Trump Jr. Spotted With Bettina Anderson at Mar-A-Lago Holiday Dinner

Donald Trump Jr Spotted With Bettina Anderson at Family Holiday Dinner

Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson spent their first holiday together amid their whirlwind romance.

Anderson, 37, joined Trump, 46, for his family’s Christmas dinner on Wednesday, December 25, at Mar-A-Lago in Florida, according to a social media photo. They sat at a table with his father, president-elect Donald Sr., stepmother Melania and brother Barron.

Anderson shared a close-up glimpse at her festive frock via Instagram Stories the next day. In a Thursday, December 26, mirror selfie, the influencer popped in a red midi-length Damaris Bailey dress with black heels and a coordinating clutch.

Anderson accessorized her look with a golden cross necklace, a watch and an armful of bangles. For glam, she wore her hair in loose waves that cascaded over one shoulder.

How Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle Have Both Moved On After Split

Anderson also added a red heart emoji to her upload, which she set to Vladimir Takinov’s “The Christmas Spirit.”

Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that Trump started dating Anderson after calling off his engagement from ex-fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle.

“It’s a new relationship. He likes her a lot and has a lot of respect for her,” the source exclusively told Us, noting that Trump is “smitten.”

A second insider further told Us in December that their romance is “different” than Trump’s relationship with Guilfoyle, 55.

“When it comes to his relationship with Bettina it’s just about them,” the second source said. “He wants a partner. She doesn’t need anything from him and just wants to be with him.”

Trump was married to ex-wife Vanessa, with whom he shares five children, between 2008 and 2018. Later that year, Trump moved on with Guilfoyle. While Trump proposed to the TV broadcaster in 2020, they only publicized news of their engagement in 2022 during his sister Tiffany’s wedding to Michael Boulos.

Trump and Guilfoyle split ahead of the November presidential election, ultimately ending on amicable terms.

“Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other and will always keep a special bond,” Trump said in a December 13 statement. “I could not be more proud of her and the important role she’ll continue to play [as U.S. ambassador to Greece].”

He added, “She’s been an undefeated prosecutor, national TV news star, a leader of the MAGA movement and close advisor to the president. The people of Greece are getting an absolute star and now the whole world will see it more than ever.”

Donald Sr., 78, recently named Guilfoyle as his pick for the Grecian ambassadorship when his second presidential term begins in January 2025.

Idol's Emmy Russell Pregnant, Expecting 1st Baby With Boyfriend Tyler Ward

American Idol finalist Emmy Russell, who is the granddaughter of late country legend Loretta Lynn, is going to be a mom!

“Y’all, me and Tyler [Ward] are expecting a baby girl,” Russell, 25, said during a recent taping of the “Got it From My Momma” podcast. “I’m so excited.”

Ward, 40, immediately ran up on stage to rub Russell’s belly before taking his seat in the crowd.

“Right out of American Idol, I didn’t know,” Russell, who was a finalist on season 22, said. “So, that’s kind of been the journey. I’m so excited and looking forward to it.”

Who Is Emmy Russell? 5 Things to Know About Loretta Lynn’s Granddaughter

Russell was joined by her mother, Patsy, on the episode, who also teased her reaction to her daughter’s pregnancy news.

“I always said it’s ‘Emmy and Tyler that’s having a baby’ because they’re both having to go through [it],” Patsy said. “It’s so true. I keep sending Tyler the memes of these girls going, ‘I can’t wear anything, I’m fat.’”

While Russell and Ward have not publicized most of their relationship, he was instrumental in her Idol journey.

“I do feel that distinct voice of, ‘You do have a job to do,’ and I think it was also just so out there. I was so tired of listening to that inner voice critiquing ourselves all the time,” Russell, who tried out for the singing competition without informing her mother, explained. “I was just like, ‘I want to prove everyone wrong.’ … Everyone was like, ‘She’s probably not going to do it.”

She added, “I remember just even looking at Tyler and I was just, like, ‘I’m going to do this and I’m not going to hide anymore.’ I remember when MeeMaw passed away and we got to just be alone with her, I remember holding her hand, just like, ‘I don’t know how I’m gonna do it, but I’m gonna do something with my gift.’ It was almost like a scary praise that I was making.”

Russell then remembered that Lynn used to tell her, “God, doesn’t give a plumber tools to not use them.” (Lynn died in 2022 at the age of 90.)

“She always used to say, ‘He gave you a gift. You gotta use it.’ And so, I’m navigating that and I’m still navigating it today, but I knew that might be the place to do it.”

Russell auditioned for Idol with a piano rendition of an original song titled “Skinny,” which was a collaboration with Ward.

“I released that song with Song House, and Tyler actually runs Song House,” she said. He was like, ‘You gotta do it. We just got to release the song.’ Then, seeing all the feedback of it, I was like, ‘This is bigger than me. I need to get out of the way.’ … Releasing it [was] special.”

Gwyneth Paltrow, Karlie Kloss and More Stars Celebrating Hanukkah 2024

26 December 2024 at 12:16

To channel Adam Brody’s character in The O.C., this year was truly Chrismukkah, as the first night of Hanukkah fell on Christmas Day.

Gwyneth Paltrow kicked off the celebrations on Wednesday, December 25, by lighting a menorah with activist and fellow actress Noa Tishby.

“I think my most favorite [memory] is when I go back to being at my grandparents’ house getting the Hanukkah gelt,” Paltrow recalled in a social media video, referring to the traditional chocolate coins. “I have such a strong memory of the gold, round coins and my brother and I tearing into them.”

Paltrow grew up celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah as her mother, Blythe Danner, is Christian, while her father, the late Bruce Paltrow, was raised Jewish.

Now that Paltrow has grown up, she makes sure to bring Hanukkah traditions into her home with husband Brad Falchuk and their blended family. (They each share two children from past marriages.)

“We always light the menorah,” Paltrow said. “We always gather together and after we light the candles, it’s very sweet actually, we all hug and we bring in the light.”

Other stars including Karlie Kloss and Andy Cohen also celebrated the Festival of Lights this year. Scroll below to see their festive photos:

Tishby marked night 2 on Thursday, December 26, with Kunis.
“I never lit Hanukkah candles until I had kids,” Kunis, who immigrated to the United States from Ukraine as a child, said in a YouTube video. “I grew up doing nothing. I always knew I was Jewish, but I was told to never talk about it.”
Once Kunis married Ashton Kutcher and later welcomed two children, she started to see her Judaism as a point of pride. (According to Kunis, Kutcher identifies as Jewish “by choice.”)
“I fell in love with my religion because he explained it to me,” Kunis recalled. “There’s no right or wrong way to be Jewish.”

Christina Hall Shares Look at Christmas Celebrations With Ex Tarek El Moussa

Exes Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa appeared to keep it amicable over the Christmas holiday.

Haack, 41, shared a glimpse of her Christmas Eve celebration via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, December 25, in which she and sister Carly posed together in the driveway. In other images, Haack’s sons Brayden and Hudson were all smiles in front of a decorated Christmas tree.

“Cute grandmas,” Haack captioned a follow-up slide, sharing an image of her mother smiling with El Moussa’s mom at the buffet table.

Haack and El Moussa, 43, were married between 2009 and 2016. They share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9. Haack also shares Hudson, 3, with ex Ant Anstead, while Tarek and wife Heather Rae El Moussa share son Tristan, 19 months.

Tarek and Haack, who used to cohost HGTV’s Flip or Flop for 10 seasons, now amicably coparent Taylor and Brayden. Tarek and Heather, 37, recently told Us Weekly how they were splitting the 2024 holidays.

“We usually have [Taylor and Brayden on] Christmas day. She has them [on] Christmas Eve, but [this year] I think we’re gonna spend Christmas Eve together,” Heather exclusively told Us in October. “[For] one of the first times.”

Haack and Tarek each celebrated Christmas morning separately. Taylor and Brayden kicked off the occasion with their mother, later meeting up with the Flipping El Moussa stars and their brother Tristan.

“Well… we don’t always get the best photos when you have a crazy 🤪toddler, sometimes this is as good as it’s gonna get! We love our little family so much,” Heather wrote via Instagram, sharing pajama selfies. “Happy Holidays to everyone.”

Haack dropped a “like” on the upload and commented with a pair of heart emojis.

“I never, ever in my life thought this show would happen,” Tarek told Us in October. “Sometimes I’m sitting there and I’ll have a moment where I look over at Heather, my wife, and I look over to the other side, and there’s my ex-wife, Christina. And I wonder, ‘How did I get here?’”

Haack was supposed to team up with then-husband Joshua Hall before they split earlier this summer.

“Things with Josh have been bad for a long time,” she told Tarek in a preview for The Flip Off. “The kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around? I feel like I’m in a tornado all the time and I just can’t get out of it. Everything since, like, 2016 has been so hard and so horrible. It’s really taken a really bad toll on me.”

The Flip Off premieres on HGTV in January 2025.

The Ultimatum’s Nick Regrets Drinking So Much During Show: ‘It Tallied Up’

26 December 2024 at 09:45

The Ultimatum Nick Tramontin Regrets Drinking So Much

The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 star Nick Tramontin regrets certain aspects of his experiment participation.

“I definitely did not love how I handled myself,” Nick, 38, said during the Thursday, December 26, episode of “The Viall Files” podcast with now-ex Sandy Gallagher. “[I should have done] way more of this [drinking water], less of the other stuff I was drinking. It’s pretty clear, I think.”

He added, “I wasn’t sleeping, you know, I was having a very difficult time being in my apartment and it just, kind of, tallied up and tallied up and tallied up and I was far more emotionally volatile or reactive than I would ever want to show up for somebody that I care for. I don’t think I showed up with my true authentic self.”

Nick and Sandy, 28, had dated on and off for approximately nine months before joining the cast of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3. On the show, one partner issues an ultimatum either to progress the relationship by getting engaged or calling it quits altogether. To do so, each couple temporarily enters into a “trial marriage” with another costar. Nick paired up with Mariah Zernik, while Sandy matched with J.R. Warren. (Mariah ultimately left the experiment early to reunite with now-fiancé Caleb Lefterys, meaning Nick was alone for the duration of the three-week trial.)

‘The Ultimatum’ Season 1 Cast: Where Are They Now?

“I think that’s just hard to digest in any scenario, especially when you have to watch it on television,” Nick recalled on the podcast, noting he had his “ebbs and flows” with substance abuse struggles before filming The Ultimatum. 

He explained, “I recognized through the experience that I needed to take a harder look at it. It had been something that came up in our relationship prior that I would sometimes feel like I had it together and then sometimes I would dip back into it.”

Sandy and Nick in ‘The Ultimatum’

According to Nick, he wasn’t “getting the kind of mental health support and system” to avoid using alcohol as a means to “escape” his life and feelings.

“I was not in a good mental place, I think that’s pretty clear,” the artist recalled, citing his drinking and sleep deprivation as contributing factors.

After the show wrapped amid Nick and Sandy’s breakup, he “did go to check in and see what I could do for myself to change that behavior.”

“I never recognized it as something that I really needed to get help with and it’s been hard,” Nick said. “It’s something that is so socially accepted and especially on shows like these where everybody’s having a drink and people are moving it around. It’s really hard to take a step back from yourself … and look at that pattern.”

Nick, who found that he was “numbing” his emotions by drinking, did praise Sandy’s tireless support of his sobriety through the years.

“No matter what my frustrations were with her, the show and the breakup, she was always consistently supportive of me and getting to a better place,” Nick stressed.

Sandy, for her part, admitted that it was “really hard to navigate” Nick’s patterns of substance abuse but would always “drop everything” to help when she could.

“I really gave it my all with trying to be there for you and show up for you,” Sandy said. “I would drop everything and go make sure he was OK if he was struggling with certain things.”

Nick and Sandy both stressed that they remain on amicable terms since they parted ways. He has also started dating again, telling podcast host Nick Viall that they are “far more on the same page” than he ever was with Sandy.

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On is currently streaming on Netflix.

Adrien Brody Battled an Eating Disorder After 'The Pianist' Weight Loss

26 December 2024 at 09:24
Adrien Brody Developed Eating Disorder From The Pianist Weight Loss
Adrien Brody

Adrien Brody lost 30 pounds for his 2003 role in The Pianist, which had lingering effects on his body.

“That was a physical transformation that was necessary for storytelling,” Brody, 51, told New York Magazine in a profile published on Monday, December 23. “But then that kind of opened me up, spiritually, to a depth of understanding of emptiness and hunger in a way that I didn’t know, ever.”

Brody portrayed radio station musician Władysław Szpilman in the biopic, chronicling how the character survived during World War II in Poland. The film earned Brody his first Academy Award. Afterward, the actor experienced post-traumatic stress disorder and disordered eating.

“I definitely had an eating disorder for at least a year,” Brody told New York Magazine. “And then I was depressed for a year if not a lifetime. I’m kidding, I’m kidding.”

Lucy Hale and More Stars Who Have Battled Eating Disorders

To get into character, the outlet reported that he “put himself on a near-starvation diet” and only ate small “bits of protein” while playing Chopin’s piano works for hour son end. Brody was also reportedly “barely drinking water” when filming began.

After The Pianist wrapped and Brody won his Oscar, he took a yearlong break from acting.

“I do admit the bar was high,” he recalled. “I’d rather not go down the list of what movies in particular I felt were disastrous.”

Adrien Brody Developed Eating Disorder From The Pianist Weight Loss

After a string of roles that were admittedly less successful, Brody took another hiatus around 2018. It was his girlfriend, fashion designer Georgina Chapman, who later inspired his return.

“I just stepped out. That helped me recalibrate,” Brody told the outlet. “She helped me realize that it would be a loss to let the frustrations interfere with pursuing what I am destined to do with an open heart.”

Celebrities Who’ve Lost or Gained Weight for Movie and TV Roles

Brody will next star in The Brutalist about artist Lázsló Tóth, who escaped Nazi-occupied Europe during the Holocaust.

The Brutalist broke some illusion of the need for suffering to extend beyond what I need to conjure up the character,” Brody said. “It was surprising to me that I didn’t need to take home so much of my own anguish.”

Like with The Pianist, Brody also felt a responsibility to authentically portray Tóth in The Brutalist.

“I knew when it felt truthful and when it didn’t,” he explained. “The Hungarian sensibility, sensitivity, and strength is a quality beyond language that is noticeable to me, that is present in that character.”

DWTS' Gleb Doesn't 'Need Anything Else' Besides Brooks Nader and His Daughter

26 December 2024 at 08:29

Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko is grateful for the little things on Christmas.

“I don’t need anything else,” Savchenko, 41, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, December 25, alongside an infinity emoji.

Savchenko included a handful of images of himself bonding with his 13-year-old daughter, Olivia, and his girlfriend, Brooks Nader, on a visit to California’s The Integratron. In one snap, Nader, 27, wrapped her arms around Olivia underneath a fairy light display. Savchenko and Nader packed on the PDA in another image.

Savchenko, who shares Olivia and 7-year-old Zlata with ex-wife Elena Samodanova, started dating Nader this fall when they were partnered together on DWTS season 33.

“We have a good energy. Like, I think we got good vibes. I mean, it’s nice to be in the room for five hours a day with someone that you get along with,” the choreographer told Us Weekly exclusively in September. “And also, you know, looking like that. She’s hot.”

Amid their rehearsals, Us broke the news that Savchenko and Nader started hooking up. They later stopped after they were eliminated from DWTS in October before reuniting ahead of the season 33 finale earlier this month following back-and-forth cryptic TikTok videos.

“I don’t know what to say about that,” Nader exclusively told Us in December. “I don’t even know what’s going on. I know I am confusing people, but I am confusing myself. I am loving life.”

At the time, Nader was unsure about a long-term future with Savchenko but stressed that “he’s great.” The model further said she “had so much fun” introducing Savchenko to her relatives at Thanksgiving last month.

“He will always have a seat at our table. My family loves him, and he’s just a great guy, and he’s so great with all the girls and the family,” Nader told Us. “We were all on Dancing With the Stars because it’s always a family affair. And he made everyone feel really welcome, including myself. He made me feel really comfortable dancing and doing things that I was maybe uncomfortable with. So he’s great.”

Savchenko confirmed to TMZ that night that they were back together.

Throughout the Christmas holiday weeks later, Savchenko and Nader teamed up with Olivia for a handful of new TikTok videos.

“Merry Christmas Eve Eve 🎄🎅🤶,” Savchenko captioned a Tuesday, December 24, video with Nader, dancing in a kitchen.

Hours earlier, he shared another video with Nader and Olivia as they all twinned in oversized sunglasses and grooved in a closet.

Sister Wives Janelle Brown Mourns Late Son Garrison on Christmas

Sister Wives star Janelle Brown reminisced on her last Christmas with son Garrison before his death earlier this year.

“Miss you so much sweetheart,” Brown, 55, wrote via Instagram Stories on Wednesday, December 25, per People. “I am so beyond grateful we were all together last year and got pictures.”

Janelle Brown Is ‘Grateful’ for Last Family Trip Before Garrison's Death

“Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” Janelle and Kody wrote in a joint statement. “He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him.

The Biggest Breakups of 2024 That Rocked the Internet: Bennifer and More

26 December 2024 at 04:30

Not every love story in 2024 had a happy ending.

After two years of marriage (and decades of history), Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on their wedding anniversary. (While Lopez and Affleck had eloped in July 2022, they renewed their vows in a grandiose ceremony at the Oscar-winning director’s Georgia residence the next month.)

“The timing of the divorce was a big f— you to Ben,” an insider exclusively told Us Weekly at the time.

By October, Lopez opened up about her mindset for her ending her marriage.

“I did all the work and look where I am, and then it was like my whole f—ing world exploded,” she told Interview magazine. “Sometimes, it’s going to work out great. And sometimes it won’t. And that’s f—ing OK, too. I was thinking about this time in my life, and I’m like, ‘That’s not what I thought it was going to turn out like.’”

Lopez and Affleck were not the only celebrity couple to go their separate ways this year. Keep scrolling to look back at the biggest celebrity breakups of 2024:

These two had their ups and downs for years, reaching a boiling point in June 2023 when McDermott confirmed via Instagram that they had separated. Within hours, he deleted the post. It wasn’t until March of this year, however, that Spelling filed for divorce and cited “irreconcilable differences.”
Spelling later revealed on her podcast that she initially thought it’d be a “disservice” to her and McDermott’s five children if they broke up and lived separately.
“I always thought as bad as things might be between my partner and myself, it’s better to have their dad in the house than in a different residence,” Spelling said on a December episode of her “Misspelling” podcast. “I think that kept me in the relationship far too long. It ultimately, I feel, did a disservice to my kids.”

Lindsay and Abasolo were known as one of Bachelor Nation’s success stories after meeting on The Bachelorette season 13. Abasolo filed for divorce in January, later claiming that the “stress” of fertility struggles factored into his decision.
Lindsay, for her part, revealed in July that she had felt “done” in their relationship before their respective filings.
“I think I read this somewhere, I’m not sure, but by the time women decide they want a divorce, they’re done [and] I was done,” Lindsay said in a YouTube interview. “Doesn’t mean it wasn’t hard or a re-adjustment. It’s still a struggle daily, but emotionally, I felt I was very sure this was what I wanted to do.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum announced via Instagram in early November that she planned to file for divorce from Arroyave after 13 years of marriage. When Mellencamp submitted her court docs later that month, she said they separated in October.
“My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter,” she wrote in her social media statement, referring to her and Arroyave’s three children. “Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do, but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest and vulnerable was the best path forward. Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do, but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest and vulnerable was the best path forward.”
A source later told Us that Mellencamp and Arroyave’s split was “a long time coming” after being in couple’s therapy for years. A separate insider claimed to Us that both Mellencamp and Arroyave previously had affairs.

Next, they are set to reunite in the upcoming movie Alpha Gang with a second source telling Us that they can amicably work together.

Lopez and Affleck were initially engaged between 2002 and 2004, ultimately splitting at the time over rampant media attention regarding wedding plans.

The “Something in the Orange” singer revealed in October that he and LaPaglia, a Barstool Sports personality, ended their relationship after more than one year together. LaPaglia subsequently claimed that Bryan’s decision to share the split blindsided her. She further alleged that he was emotionally abusive. 
“The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this dude,” she said on a November episode of her “BFFs” podcast, claiming that she turned down a multimillion-dollar sum in exchange for signing an NDA. “I’m still scared right now because I’m scared of him still. My brain’s rewired. I’m scared to make him mad.”
Bryan never addressed the claims but stated in his social media statement that the decision was amicable.

The Dancing With the Stars pro was arrested on domestic violence charges in August after an alleged altercation with Garcia. They both filed for divorce one week later, requesting joint custody of son Matteo.
“I’ve been heartbroken,” Garcia said on her “Nikki & Brie Show” podcast in December. “You dream of having this family and you have this incredible love, and it just goes the other way. You go from having a great love story to having a terrible one.”
She added, “It’s been a struggle. I know being a public figure, I have to say a little bit about this, right? After this, I don’t want to ever talk about [it] again, because I truly do want privacy for Matteo.”
Garcia and Chigvintsev had settled their divorce weeks earlier in November.

Haack and her third husband both filed to end their marriage in July, with a source telling Us that the HGTV star was “done.” In the wake of the breakup, Hall was cut from The Flip Off, a competition show between Haack and ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and their new spouses. In a preview for the series, Haack revealed that her and El Moussa’s kids asked her to leave Hall.
“Things with Josh have been bad for a long time,” she said in the clip. “The kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around? I feel like I’m in a tornado all the time and I just can’t get out of it.”

Cyrus married Firerose in October 2023 and they separated seven months later in early 2024.

They reached a settlement in August.

“Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations,” Turner said on Good Morning America. “We’ve looked closely at our living situations and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s time for us to dissolve our marriage. “The things that strike me the most in our conversations it’s been how dedicated both of us are to our families. So, we look at these situations and I think we just feel like it’s best for the happiness of each of us to live apart.”
Turner announced in December that he was battling an inoperable form of cancer and denied that his diagnosis played into the divorce decision.

Richard was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon in March after allegedly throwing a bag with glass in it at Quinn. The glass had missed the Selling Sunset alum and hit their son, Christian. One month later, Richard filed for divorce.
In her own filing, Quinn requested sole legal and physical custody of their son because Richard’s “actions and behavior have put [their] son’s health and wellbeing at risk.” He never publicly addressed her accusations.

After two decades of marriage, Fisher and Cohen announced their split in April.
“After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down,” they wrote in a joint Instagram Story statement, alongside a throwback pic of the pair wearing tennis outfits. “In 2023, we jointly filed to end our marriage.

Travis Kelce scored a touchdown during his Wednesday, December 25, game, breaking a major Kansas City Chiefs record.

Kelce’s touchdown on Wednesday meant that the 35-year-old athlete beat Tony Gonzalez’s previously held record for the most career touchdown receptions. In celebration, Kelce dunked the ball in an homage to Gonzalez himself.

“I’ve been following him since he was a rookie and I’m not surprised by it,” Gonzalez, 48, said during a November broadcast of NFL on Prime Video. “He is one of the greatest tight ends of all time. … If he dunks it, I will pay that fine!”

It is against NFL rules to toss a football through the goalpost, often resulting in a hefty fine for unsportsmanlike conduct. The league has not confirmed further details about a potential fine.

Travis Kelce Becomes 'Oldest' Player in NFL History to Accomplish Feat

Kelce’s touchdown led the Chiefs to victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10. He and teammate Patrick Mahomes were named the official game MVPs, earning Santa-inspired puffy robes and a red velvet cake packed into the shape of a football.

In a postgame interview, Kelce opened up about his milestone receiving record.

“It’s everything to me. Tony’s been a mentor to me, he’s been there right there for me [with] any questions I’ve ever had,” Kelce gushed. “I feel like I’m still trying to fill that guy’s shoes.”

He added, “He’s such an unbelievable competitor and I’ve got so much love for him. It’s an honor to be in conversations with him.”

Quarterback Mahomes, 29, also acknowledged Kelce’s performance.

“We got a lot of weapons out there. We’re getting healthy at the right time,” Mahomes said. “The big guy leads us all, but we’ve got guys everywhere. I’m trying to hang on as long as I can.”

NFL's Tony Gonzalez Praises Taylor Swift for Bringing New Fans to Football

The Chiefs’ win over the Steelers earns the Missouri team the No. 1 seed in its AFC conference.

“I thought it was a full-team performance. Defense stepped up, offense stepped up [and] everyone had their imprint on the game,” Mahomes quipped. “I told my pregnant wife [Brittany Mahomes] I was going to get the No. 1 seed, so we can have the baby.”

Patrick and Brittany, 29, are currently expecting their third baby. In a pregame interview on Wednesday, Patrick told sportscaster Kay Adams that his wife is due “any day now.”

Brittany, for her part, did not travel to Pittsburgh for game day and instead watched the NFL matchup from home in KC with kids Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 21.

“Baking and watching Daddy,” Brittany wrote via Instagram Story on Wednesday afternoon.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Send Joint Christmas Gift to Chiefs Families

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce jointly played Santa for his Kansas City Chiefs teammates.

Sheawna Weathersby, who is the partner of Chiefs athlete Chris Jones, showed off a special present from the 35-year-old pop star via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, December 25.

“So blessed and grateful this holiday season,” Weathersby wrote. “Thank you, Tay Tay!!”

Swift and Kelce’s package included a Santa-themed gift bag and a box wrapped in red rose paper. There was also a “Louis 200” box from Louis Vuitton.

“Merry Christmas She She and Chris,” a gift tag read, which was signed by “Travis and Taylor.” A separate tag was addressed solely to “She She” from “Tay Tay.”

Jones, who shares two sons with Weathersby, is one of Kelce’s teammates on the Chiefs. Swift has often invited Weathersby, alongside fellow NFL partner Chariah Gordon, to watch home games from a private suite.

Neither Swift nor Weathersby attended Wednesday’s away game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. (Jones, 30, was out on injured reserve and did not play but still traveled with his teammates.)

“Every time you play the Steelers, you know it’s going to be a fight,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said in a Netflix interview earlier on Wednesday. “They’re gonna give you your best shot every single time — and it’s a great football team. That’s why they’re in the position that they’re in. It’ll be a great game, we’ll be in a great environment in Pittsburgh and I’m excited for it.”

While Weathersby has been a devoted member of Chiefs Kingdom for many years in support of Jones, Swift only just started to appreciate the squad.

Taylor Swift, Chariah Gordon and Sheawna Kiara Hang Out at NFL Game

“Football is awesome, it turns out,” Swift said in her 2023 TIME Person of the Year profile. “I’ve been missing out my whole life.”

Swift started dating Kelce, 35, in summer 2023, going public with their romance the following September when she went to her first Chiefs game.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift added to the outlet. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

When Swift reps Kelce from the stands, she’s not concerned about being seen on the Jumbotron.

“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once,” Swift stressed at the time. “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.”

Throughout the 2024-2025 NFL season, Swift only attended home games in between her Eras Tour concerts across the globe. After she wrapped the performances earlier this month, Kelce organized a blowout “end of an era” party to celebrate and invited many of his Chiefs teammates and their significant others.

Dua Lipa and her boyfriend, actor Callum Turner, spent their first Christmas together.

“Home for the holidays,” the pop star, 29, wrote via X on Wednesday, December 25. “Sending you all so much love.”

Lipa uploaded an array of photos of herself dressed in winter gear, cuddling her pet dog and snapping selfies before adding a pic with Turner, 34. In a blurry image, the couple were all smiles in the front seats of a car.

The “Training Season” singer wore a dark-colored coat with an emerald-colored scarf and oversized sunglasses. Turner, for his part, opted for a black coat and a matching beanie.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner’s Relationship Timeline

Lipa and the Masters of the Air star have been together since January.

“Callum is really the first serious relationship she’s had in the past few years,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in March. “Dua and Callum spend almost all their time together and are nearly inseparable.”

According to the insider, Lipa and Turner are “very serious about one another” and had introduced their families to each other

“They have a very balanced energy and Dua couldn’t be happier than she is with Callum,” the source added to Us.

Lipa and Turner have since been staples on her social media pages and enjoyed several public dates. It is Lipa’s first serious relationship since she and Anwar Hadid split in 2021.

Their romance also appeared to inspire Lipa musically. She released Radical Optimism in May featuring lead single “Training Season,” which fans believed was about her relationship with Turner.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Are ‘Very Serious,' Have Met Each Other’s Families

“I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to write down what I want,’” Lipa told Elle in May. “The power of manifestation and writing things into existence with the power of words. When you know your worth, you know what you want and what you don’t want.”

She added at the time, “I was talking about this with one of my dancers today because she was going through a breakup — when I was single, I didn’t wish it away. You learn so much about yourself, you know, whether it’s going on a date or spending that time alone. In the silence, you figure out who you really are. In the grand scheme of things, I was doing research.”

The Best and Surprising Couples Who Got Together in 2024

Turner, for his part, has another song from Radical Optimism frequently on replay.

“‘Houdini.’ It just keeps getting better,” he gushed to Vanity Fair in March.

According to a YouTube video last month, Lipa wrote “Houdini” about “the act of disappearing when something no longer serves you.”

“The [coronavirus] pandemic happened and we got stuck at home, all I wanted to do was get back into the club and make a record that was solely for dancing,” she explained in her November video. “The whole story was built on the basis of reputation in a dance track that makes it very easily digestible for people who are listening to it. It’s just about getting the groove and letting loose.”

“Baking and watching Daddy,” Brittany, 29, wrote via Instagram Story on Wednesday, December 25, referring to husband Patrick’s away game in Pittsburgh.

In the photo, Brittany and 3-year-old daughter Sterling wore matching beige-and-white flannel pajama sets while baking up a storm in their kitchen. They were joined by Patrick’s mother, Randi, and his younger sister Mia.

“Already on our second box of baking,” Brittany wrote, showing off their festive cupcakes.

“Game day snuggles,” Brittany captioned a follow-up Instagram pic with Bronze.

Earlier on Wednesday, Patrick, 29, joked in a prerecorded Netflix interview that Brittany is due to give birth to baby No. 3 “any day now.”

“Brittany says I’ve been stressing her out too much this season,” Patrick quipped to sportscaster Kay Adams. “So, I gotta try not to put so much stress on her through these football games — and get the bye.”

He added, “Hopefully, God works the right way and we can have that baby on the bye week somewhere. Then, everything will work out perfectly.”

Patrick further gushed that his wife, who he started dating in high school, deserves an MVP trophy this NFL season.

“MVP ‘cause she’ll go in [to the playoffs] and she’ll crush it,” Patrick said. “We’ll have three babies and I can take a break for a long time and just focus on playing football and raising those babies.”

Wednesday’s game is one of the last regular season games of the year.

“Every time you play the Steelers, you know it’s going to be a fight,” Patrick teased. “They’re gonna give you your best shot every single time — and it’s a great football team. That’s why they’re in the position that they’re in. It’ll be a great game, we’ll be in a great environment in Pittsburgh and I’m excited for it.”

Since Patrick is playing football on Christmas Day, he celebrated the festive holiday with Brittany and the kids earlier this week.

“Christmas with the Mahomeses is a lot of chasing kids around,” he told Adams in the Netflix segment. “Santa leaves surprises for the kids. Seeing them grow up and understand what the holidays are all about; I’m making those traditions now. I’m hoping to have some that I’ll have for the rest of my life.”

The Duggars keep counting on as Jeremiah Duggar and his wife, Hannah Duggar, prepare to welcome their third child.

“Life with our little girls has been wonderful and we are so excited about adding a third little girl to this group late next spring!! 💖💖💖,” Jeremiah, 25, and Hannah, 29, captioned a Tuesday, December 24, Instagram post.

In the photo, Jeremiah held daughter Brynley, 2, while Hannah carried daughter Brielle, 10 months. The expectant mother also held onto a pair of pink, knitted baby booties.

Several of the couple’s siblings celebrated the news, including Jeremiah’s sister Jessa Duggar, who added a heart-eye emoji via Instagram comment.

Hannah’s sibling Alaythia Wissmann, for her part, replied, “The absolute BEST!!!! Can’t wait to meet her already!!!”

Jeremiah and Hannah’s baby news comes less than one year after Brielle arrived in February.

“Welcome to the world our dearest little Brielle Grace,” an Instagram announcement read. “You have already brought so much joy into our lives! We love you beyond what words can say and are SO very thankful for our two little girls.”

Brynley was born two years earlier on Christmas Day, shortly after Jeremiah and Hannah’s wedding day.

Jeremiah and Hannah started courting, following his family’s tradition, in October 2021. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed in March 2022 that Jeremiah and Hannah tied the knot after a three-month engagement.

“Today was a perfect day, as we stood before our family and friends and committed our lives to each other,” the pair exclusively told Us of their wedding, which was held in Hannah’s native Nebraska. “It was such a beautiful culmination of so many prayers, dreams & desires! As we’ve seen God’s gracious hand in bringing our lives together, we are excited to see how He will continue to direct our paths.”

They added at the time, “We are looking forward to sharing our married journey with you. Thank you for sharing our joy!”

Jeremiah and Hannah are not the only Duggars currently expecting. The Counting On alum’s twin brother Jedidiah Duggar’s wife, Katey Duggar, is pregnant with a pair of twin girls. (They already share son Truett, 2, and daughter Nora, 19 months.)

“The twins are due on January 19; that’s when I’ll be 40 weeks,” Katey, 26, said in a YouTube vlog earlier this month. “Now, 50 percent of twins are delivered before 37 weeks. If I can make it past Christmas and the New Year, then, we’ll see. We’re talking to my doctor all the time about options — and whatever’s best for the babies.”

Jedidiah, 25, noted that “Jer and I would love to have another set of twins” born on their December 30 birthday.
