Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are experiencing a new set of relationship dynamics since becoming parents.
“There has been a total shift in their marriage since renewing their vows [in May 2024] and welcoming baby Jack,” a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “He’s truly brought them so much happiness and a renewed bond.”
According to the insider, fatherhood has put Justin, 30, in a good place mentally as the singer is “obsessed” with his little one. The source adds that Justin is a “really good dad.” For Hailey, 28, the insider says that the Rhode founder’s “main priority is being a mom right now.”
While the family of three are currently basking in new baby bliss, the couple are hopeful to have “a big family” at some point. The source notes that Justin and Hailey aren’t in a rush to expand their brood, adding that their philosophy when it comes to family planning is that it’s “up to ‘God’s plan.’”
In May 2024, Justin and Hailey — who tied the knot in September 2018 — renewed their vows while simultaneously revealing Hailey’s pregnancy. The subtle announcement featured Hailey showing off her baby bump while Justin acted as the photographer. An additional snap featured Hailey and Justin cradling her pregnant belly.
Three months later, Justin shared that Hailey had given birth to their son. “WELCOME HOME,” he captioned an Instagram image of Hailey touching their son’s foot, which was wrapped in a blanket. “JACK BLUES BIEBER ,” Justin added, publicly revealing their son’s name.
An additional source exclusively told Us at the time that the parents were in “total bliss” as they adjusted to their new roles as mom and dad.

“Justin is overjoyed and very hands-on. A lot of things will change,” the insider explained.“He’s a dad now and will be a lot more private and protective and focused on the family first.”
The source added that Hailey was “over the moon and in mom zone, and completely focused on the health of the baby.”
Since then, Hailey has given tiny glimpses of her and Justin’s life with Jack, from celebrating Halloween to cozy strolls as a family. While gearing up to ring in the New Year, Hailey reflected on the past year and her pregnancy.
“Thank you 2024,” Hailey wrote via her Instagram Story shared last month and alongside a throwback maternity pic of her looking off into the distance while lifting up her shirt to display her baby bump.
“Um. Going anywhere with u bb. Happy New Year,” captioned a pic of Hailey dressed in a bikini which she paired with a leopard print coat, Ugg boots and a “Happy New Year” headband.

The premiere for Jennifer Lopez’s new movie, Unstoppable, was canceled at the last minute.
“In light of today’s safety concerns around heightened wind activity and fire outbreaks in Los Angeles,” a rep for Amazon said in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, January 7. “We regret to inform you that we are cancelling tonight’s premiere of Unstoppable.”
Los Angeles is currently experiencing severe winds and fires in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, which is just outside of Santa Monica. Most of the Palisades were ordered to evacuate Tuesday afternoon, per the Los Angeles Times.
“As much as we were looking forward to celebrating this wonderful and inspiring film with you, safety is our first priority,” the statement continued. “We encourage everyone to watch Unstoppable on Prime Video, which will be available globally on January 16. Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe.”
The National Weather Service Los Angeles’ official X account issued an alert regarding dangerous windstorms expected to take place from Tuesday to Wednesday, January 8.
“A LIFE-THREATENING, DESTRUCTIVE, Widespread Windstorm is expected Tue afternoon-Weds morning across much of Ventura/LA Co. Areas not typically windy will be impacted,” the tweet read on Monday, January 6, alongside an infographic of potential areas that could be affected. “See graphic for areas of greatest concern. Stay indoors, away from windows, expect power outages.”
The Unstoppable premiere was scheduled to take place on Tuesday in West Hollywood. Lopez, who stars in the Anthony Robles biopic as the wrestler’s mother, Judy, was expected to attend the red carpet alongside the film’s lead actor Jharrel Jerome. Additional cast members Don Cheadle, Michael Peña, Mykelti Williamson and director William Goldenberg were also expected to attend.
Lopez has yet to address the cancellation of the premiere. News of the premiere cancellation comes one day after Lopez settled her divorce from Ben Affleck. Affleck, 57, produced the sports drama through his and pal Matt Damon’s production company, Artists Equity.
Unstoppable wasn’t the only upcoming film taking precaution.Wolf Man, which stars Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, also canceled its Tuesday L.A. premiere.
“Unfortunately, tonight’s premiere of Wolf Man is canceled due to sensitivities around the worsening weather situation in LA and related evacuations,” Universal said in a statement per Variety.
Many stars have been affected by the wildfires, and some have even stepped in to assist in aid. Actor Steve Guttenberg has been on the ground lending helping hand to firefighters by moving cars left behind due to evacuation orders so fire trucks and other residents could easily access the road.
“There are people stuck up there. So we’re trying to clear Palisades Drive and I’m walking up there as far as I can moving cars,” the Police Academy alum said in a Tuesday interview with KTLA. “There are families up there, there are pets up there. There are people who really need help.”
Kailyn Lowry got real about struggling with her mental health and body dysmorphia following her recent decision to undergo plastic surgery.
“I had a very, very emotional morning, mainly just when I was taking a shower. I pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny,” the Teen Mom 2 alum, 32, said in a Get Ready With Me Instagram Reel uploaded on Monday, January 6. “I think a little nip and tuck in terms of a nose job or a boob job is OK but to go through this to be skinny is [a] mental illness, truly. And I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it.”
Last month, Lowry revealed she underwent breast reduction surgery. In the Monday clip, she explained that her video marked the first time she was able to do her makeup since the procedure. She also shared that she was “finally able” to use the shower post-surgery without any assistance. While Lowry admitted that she feels “good” physically, most of the time she’s “struggling” mentally in the wake of her procedure.
“I’m struggling this time around. I don’t know if it’s cause I have a daughter now … not just my daughter, my sons too, I don’t want them to experience this level of body dysmorphia,” she reflected. “Like, I was basically willing to go to any length and do this over Christmas break to be skinny — even if that meant [fiancé] Elijah [Scott] couldn’t be there for me. Even if that meant I was in another state for Christmas. I was willing to go to any freaking length for it.”
Lowry confessed that when she went in for her breast reduction surgery, she was tempted to undergo additional procedures while under general anesthesia.
“I was going for a breast reduction and then I was like, ‘Oh, I should just add some lipo 360, add some tummy tuck in … my scars were fine,’” she recalled. “My old tummy tuck scar and c-section scar were fine. I realized I shouldn’t have put Elijah through all of this ’cause he couldn’t be there for me the whole time.”
Despite being on the mend, Lowry admitted she was having a “rough” time mentally but wanted to put a brave face on.
“I’m going to stop crying and I’m gonna suck it up for the rest of the day,” she said before issuing a warning to her followers. “Think once, think twice before you get plastic surgery and I hope everyone has a happy new year.”
Many of Lowry’s fans flocked to the comments section to give her some much-needed words of encouragement.
“You’ve always looked great! At any size you’re just a gorgeous woman,” one user replied while another wrote, “You birthed literally 7 beautiful tiny humans, your body is incredible. I’m sorry you felt pressured to have to fix it. I hope you can learn to love you body, I know your children did .”
Lowry is a mom of seven. She shares son Issac, whom she welcomed in 2010 with Jo Rivera, son Lincoln, whom she welcomed in 2013 with Javi Marroquin, sons Lux and Creed, whom she welcomed in 2017 and 2020, respectively, with Chris Lopez. She also shares son Rio, who was born in 2022, and twins Verse and Valley, who arrived in January, with Elijah.

Cage became a father for the first time in December 1990 when the actor welcomed son Weston with ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton. After Weston’s birth, Cage and Fulton were no longer romantically involved. Cage moved on with Patricia Arquette whom he was married to from 1995 to 2001 and the late Lisa Marie Presley from 2002 to 2004.
After his respective splits from Arquette and Presley, the National Treasure star became a dad again when he welcomed son Kal-El with his third wife, Alice Kim, in 2005. Kim and Cage tied the knot in 2004 after two months of dating. In 2016, they divorced after 12 years of marriage.
Five years later, Cage found love again with current wife Riko Shibata. The couple wed in February 2021. Us Weekly confirmed in September 2022 that Shibata and Cage had welcomed a daughter, August.
“Nicolas and Riko are happy to announce the birth of their daughter,” the pair said in a statement at the time. “Mother and daughter are doing fine.”
In July 2024, Cage opened up about being a dad and how he never expected to share his children with three different women.
“They’re all different experiences,” Cage said of his bond with his little ones to The New Yorker. “Each one has a different mother. It’s not what I had originally thought would happen when I fell in love or got married — that I would have three different children with three different moms — but nonetheless that’s what’s happened. So every child is different. There’s a different kind of level of attention.”

The exes share sons Lucian and Sorin, whom they welcomed in 2014 and 2016, respectively. In 2018, Weston tied the knot with current wife Hila Cage Coppola, with whom he shares twin daughters.
Weston made headlines in July 2024 when he was arrested for an alleged incident between him and his mom that took place in April. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Us at the time that Weston’s bail was set at $150,000 and he was released on bond. Later that month, Weston pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault with a deadly weapon.

Gleb Savchenko and Brooks NaderABC/Jose Alvarado, Jr.
Gleb Savchenko is letting girlfriend Brooks Nader know that he’s open to the idea of becoming a dad again.
“I think I’m ready for a 3rd one,” Savchenko, 41, wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, January 6, while tagging Nader, 28, in a video originally shared by fellow Dancing With the Stars pro Pasha Pashkov.
In the clip, Savchenko is sitting with Pashkov’s wife, Daniella Karagach, as she holds daughter Nikita, 20 months, in her lap. The toddler was snacking on some apple slices that Savchenko prepared for her.

As Nikita ate some of the fruit, Savchenko sweetly smiled at her.
Savchenko is currently father to daughters Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7, whom he welcomed with ex-wife Elena Samodanova. While Nader didn’t publicly react to Savchenko’s post, she did make a TikTok video on Tuesday, January 7, seemingly pointing out her and Savchenko’s sex life.

Savchenko reacted to the video by resharing it via his Instagram Story and adding a sticker that read, “Omg I can’t wait!!!”
Nader and Savchenko met last year as they were partners on DWTS season 33. While the show was airing, Us Weekly broke the news that Savchenko and Nader were “hooking up.” After the pair were eliminated, they parted ways. However, they rekindled their romance following the finale. Since then, the couple have spent Thanksgiving and Christmas together. Nader has also spent quality time with Savchenko’s daughters.
“I don’t need anything else,” Savchenko wrote via Instagram on Christmas alongside a slideshow of moments of him, Nader and his daughter spending the holidays together.
The post included a snap of him, Olivia and Nader during a visit to California’s The Integratron. In one snap, Nader embraced Olivia while underneath a fairy light display. Savchenko and Nader also packed on the PDA in another photo.
In addition to family outings, Olivia made a TikTok video last month with Brooks and her sister Grace Ann Nader.
“When your Dad’s new GF and her sisters are borderline insane,” Grace Ann wrote over the video. “She’s such a trooper,” Brooks said of Olivia when replying in the comments section.
While Foster and Jackman crossed paths as fellow members of the Broadway community, their camaraderie grew stronger when they were both cast in the 2022 revival of The Music Man. While sharing the stage for more than a year, Foster and Jackman grew close.
“He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest working man, incredibly kind, and generous—and all of that is true. He disarms everyone, and he doesn’t make anything about him,” Foster gushed of her costar in a June 2022 interview with Vogue. “And he’s now become one of my best friends, which was a surprise, because you usually go into these things thinking, ‘Well, I hope we get along.’ But we just spent Memorial Day with our families. It’s really fun to meet new friends after 40.”
Both Jackman and Foster were in relationships with other people when they first met. The Deadpool and Wolverine actor was married to long-time loveDeborra-Lee Furness, while Foster was married to Ted Griffin. In September 2023, Jackman and Furness announced they had separated after nearly three decades of marriage. The following year, Foster filed for divorce from Griffin.
In November 2024, Us Weekly reported that Jackman called it quits with Furness because of the actor’s “relationship” with Foster.
“A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people,” a source exclusively told Us at the time. “Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”
Two months later, Jackman and Foster confirmed their romance while enjoying a date night out in Los Angeles.

Josh Hall and Christina HallAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Christina Hall and Josh Hall had an intense social media exchange regarding the drama on their new show, The Flip Off.
“TFW you can’t get enough ratings with celebrity designers so you manufactured drama with me, a nobody,” Josh, 44, wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, January 6, seemingly referring to an intense exchange between the exes in the series’ trailer. “@hgtv, you’ve changed.”
Christina, 41, subsequently fired back at her estranged husband.
“Manufactured?! Pretty sure no one at Hgtv told you to be rude to me …” she responded via her own Instagram story alongside a screenshot of Josh’s post. “That was all natural.”
After defending herself and the show, Christina also shared a selfie she took from the set where she looked visibly upset.
“This was taken June 21, 2024. After one of my shoots with Josh,” she captioned the selfie of her crying. “This is ‘real’ and a reminder to myself that I deserve better.”
Earlier this month, fans got a taste of what to expect from the inaugural season of the upcoming series. In a first look clip, Josh and Christina had a tense moment while driving to a project ahead of their July 2024 split.

“This is a competition, you gotta pull out all stops. Whatever it takes to win, I’ll do it,” Josh told Christina in the video and proceeded to shout, “Halls rule!”
Christina was seemingly not amused with Josh’s antics and remained silent in the passenger seat. Josh then reminded her that they’re a team now. (In addition to Christina and Josh, The Flip Off also features Christina’s ex-husbandTarek El Moussa and his new wife, former Selling Sunset star Heather Rae El Moussa.)
“Don’t get confused in this competition about what your last name is,” he said, before calling Christina “rude.”
Christina then shared that she simply doesn’t “over talk,” which seemingly upset Josh even more. “You know how much s— you say and I’m just like, ‘I wish you’d shut up already?’” he replied.
The trailer ended with Christina meeting up with Tarek, 43, who noticed instantly that something was off with his ex-wife.
“I know that look. What’s going on? You good?” Tarek asked. Christina pauses before revealing that she and Josh “officially split up.”
Christina and Josh tied the knot in April 2022. Before joining The Flip Off, the pair worked together on Christina in the Country, which followed Christina’s renovation projects in Tennessee. Josh also appeared on Christina on the Coast, which focused on the renovation work the HGTV star did in California.
After Christina and Josh filed for divorce in July 2024, Josh’s role in The Flip Off was downgraded. Us Weekly confirmed at the time that since the series was “in production” already, Christina, Tarek and Heather, 37, were “moving forward with the show without” Josh.
Josh and Christina have yet to finalize their divorce and their legal proceedings are ongoing.
The Flip Off premieres on HGTV Wednesday, January 29, at 8 p.m. ET and available the same day to stream on Max and Discovery+.

“That is what you will call … is the expression an unenforced foul or something, where you cause harm to yourself?” Cohen, 56, said of The Real Housewives of New Jersey star’s drama during the Monday, January 6, episode of his SiriusXM show Radio Andy. “Is that what that’s called?”
A person from behind the scenes corrected Cohen stating that the saying is an “unforced error.”
Cohen was chatting with cohost John Hill about how Aydin, 47, uploaded a now-viral video of her apparent heated exchange with several Jersey Mike’s workers at an airport. Hill, 46, shared that it seemed like Aydin had a meltdown — which Cohen agreed.
“She melted down. And you know what, before you hit send on the post, take a beat and say, ‘How is this gonna land?’” Cohen reflected. “How are you going to cause so much trouble for yourself … You’re at the airport, you’re getting a sandwich … it’s just how is this gonna land?

Cohen also added that Aydin should have questioned how the scenario was going to “fly with the universe.” Hill noted that no matter what the situation was, a person should never speak down to someone who works in the service industry.
“Even if you’re pissed and you’re right and the person is wrong, it’s a customer service nightmare,” Hill explained. “Just like never be mean to a wait staff person … don’t mean to them it will get you nowhere.”
Cohen was in agreement with Hill’s take.

Aydin kicked off the new year by making headlines for her viral beef with the fast food chain. Aydin went on a rant via her Instagram Story, which has now been reshared across social media, where she claimed she was waiting for “what felt like forever.”
“They took our order and then they took the lady’s order that was after me but they fulfilled her order first somehow, made us wait,” Aydin claimed and called out “the 80-year-old” working at the establishment. “Everything was slow. We’re not complaining. We get it, it’s early in the morning. You’re in a bad mood, it’s New Year’s, you’re working — I’d be pissed too.”
The drama didn’t stop there. After Aydin posted her complaints online, one of Jersey Mike’s employees from the Bravo star’s video took to TikTok to share the workers’ perspective.
“I really hope this stupid bitch has TikTok,” the employee began in her post. “I really hope I come up on your For You Page bitch, I really hope you recognize me.”
The worker claimed that Aydin was unsure of what she wanted when placing her order of “four different sandwiches.” According to the employee, Aydin changed “the bread last minute” which allegedly caused the “entire line” to start “backing up.” Aydin was allegedly asked by other staff members to get back in line if she was going to continue adding sandwiches. Us Weekly reached out to Aydin for comment at the time.

Blanco, 36, looked dashing in an all-white suit. While Gomez walked the red carpet solo, Blanco remained by her side throughout the duration of the live show.
During host Nikki Glaser’s monologue, she poked fun at Blanco and Gomez’s recent engagement.
“Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him that wish,” Glaser, 40, joked. “Man, lucky guy.”
Gomez and Blanco announced their engagement in December 2024, one year after they publicly revealed their romance. “Forever begins now..,” the actress captioned an Instagram post featuring photos of her ring and the pair celebrating their impending nuptials.
“Hey wait… that’s my wife,” Blanco commented on Gomez’s post at the time.
Gomez’s sparkler features an elongated diamond set on a gold band adorned with more rock. According to Jared Jewelers expert and VP of Merchandising Ann Grimmett, the band is estimated to be six carats and worth $225,000. Grimmett also told Us Weekly that the ring was “rare, given less than five percent of diamonds are marquise.”
The ring’s designers, Katherine Theofilos Claster and Stephanie Theofilos, shared what it was like working with Blanco to create the custom jewel for his bride-to-be.
“We started the project earlier this year. Benny, a wonderful creative himself, had [a] specific inspiration, including the center cut, the marquise,” Theofilos said in a December 2024 interview with Page Six. “Benny had a very sharp idea of what he ultimately envisioned.”
“Abbott Elementary” stars Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Quinta Brunson as Janine Teagues, Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard, and Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti.Disney/Pamela Littky
The Abbott Elementary cast traded the classroom for a night out at the 2025 Golden Globes — although the beloved show did not add to its collection of awards this time.
The cast arrived at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 5, for the 82nd iteration of the award show, celebrating their two nominations. The ABC series earned a nod for Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy while the show’s creator and star Quinta Brunson was up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Comedy.
Brunson, 35, ultimately lost to Jean Smart for her performance on Hacks. Later in the evening, Abbott Elementary lost Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy to Hacks.
In the best comedy category, Abbott Elementary faced some tough competition from Hacks, Only Murders in the Building, Nobody Wants This, The Gentlemen and The Bear. This is Abbott’s third year being nominated in the category, previously taking home the coveted prize in 2023. At last year’s ceremony, The Bear won.
Sunday also marked the third time Brunson, 35, received a nod for her portrayal of Janine Teagues. This year, she was recognized alongside Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This), Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Selena Gomez (Only Murders in the Building), Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along) and Jean Smart (Hacks). Brunson won the Golden Globe in 2023 as a first-time nominee. She was also nominated last year but lost to Edebiri.
None of Abbott’s supporting cast were nominated for a Golden Globe this year. Janelle James and Sheryl Lee Ralph were both up for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series – Comedy/Musical or Drama in 2023 but lost to Julia Garner for Ozark. Tyler James Williams, who plays Bruson’s love interest, Gregory Eddie, won Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series – Comedy/Musical or Drama in 2023 as a first-time nominee.
Since Abbott’s first Golden Globe win for its inaugural season, the sitcom has come a long way. Fans got their wish as Janine and Gregory became a couple in season 3. Following its October 2024 premiere, season 4 has brought a lot of laughs and is prepared to deliver more in a highly anticipated crossover with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
“I think it’s very cool,” Brunson exclusively told Us Weekly of the special event. “I think it’s unexpected and I think that it’ll be like a delight to the audience of both shows. You know, I think it’ll be very exciting for the people who watch our shows. And if they watch one show and not the other, I think that’s cool too because it’ll make people interested in that show. I’m just excited about it and I think it’s just a fun way to shake up TV.”
For the 2023 ceremony, Butler brought his sister, Ashley Butler, as his date for the special occasion, instead of walking the red carpet with girlfriend Kaia Gerber. At the ceremony, the Elvis star earned his first-ever win for his portrayal of the late music legend, beating out Brendan Fraser, Hugh Jackman, Bill Nighy and Jeremy Pope.
Gomez, for her part, was accompanied by little sister Gracie to the January 2023 awards show, where they walked the red carpet together. The former Disney star was nominated for her role in Only Murders in the Building.
The 2022 ceremony wasn’t televised, but the Golden Globes hosted a virtual event one year prior due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2021, Jason Bateman, Mark Ruffalo, Kate Hudson and other stars enjoyed the festivities at home with their broods nearby for moral support.

Strong, 46, stepped out on the red carpet ahead of the Sunday, January 5, ceremony at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. The Succession star opted for a mint green velvet bucket hat and matching suit from Loro Piana.
In addition to the complimentary blazer and trousers, Strong wore a cozy white turtleneck. He completed the look with matching mint green sunglasses, a neutral wristwatch and black shoes.
Strong attended the Golden Globes alongside his wife, Emma Wall. The couple walked the red carpet and posed for photos together. Unlike Strong’s bold look, Hall kept it chic in a dainty white sleeveless floor-length gown.
Strong is up for one award tonight. He is nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Roy Cohn in the film The Apprentice. After learning the news about his nomination, Strong had an emotional reaction.
“I was sort of prepared for the film to be overlooked, given the way it’s been going … So it is just indescribably meaningful to me that the Globes recognized the film on the grounds of its artistry and as a film,” Strong said in a December 2024 statement to the Associated Press. “I think this has been a real battle from the get-go to get it made, but even more so to get it seen. And to sort of convince the industry that it was worthy of being seen. It’s a human and archetypal story that could not possibly be more relevant or essential to the moment that we are living through.”

Strong continued: “I’m just happy because I think this means more people will see the movie, which has been the only goal. If you want to understand where America is in 2024, a lot of it points to Roy Cohn and his influence on Donald Trump.”
The Apprentice, which is directed by Ali Abbasi, also stars Sebastian Stan who plays a young Donald Trump who is mentored by Cohn. Stan, 42, is also up for Best Actor.
This is Strong’s third Golden Globe nomination. The actor was a first-time nominee in 2021 for Best Actor – Television Series Drama for his role of Kendall Roy in Succession. Strong ended up taking home the trophy that year beating out his costar Brian Cox, Squid Games’ Lee Jung-jae, Billy Porter and Omar Sy.
At last year’s ceremony, Strong was nominated for a second time but lost to his Succession costar Kieran Culkin. His former costar is nominated against him again this year for his performance in A Real Pain.
Parvati Shallow is anxiously awaiting for the latest season of The White Lotus to premiere.
“I’m dying for season 3 of White Lotus to drop,” the former Survivor winner, 42, exclusively reveals to Us Weekly about her latest TV obsession.
The award-winning HBO anthology series, which was created by Mike White, follows a group of guests staying at the luxurious White Lotus resort. Each season focuses on a new set of characters staying at the hotel chain in different parts of the world. Before coming up with the idea of the series, White competed on Survivor in its David vs. Goliath season. In each season of The White Lotus, White has called on several of his fellow Survivor tribemates to make cameos in each season.
“How much longer are you going to make us wait, Mike White?” Shallow jokingly asks of her fellow Survivor alum.
Luckily, Shallow and other fans won’t have to wait for The White Lotus much longer as season 3 is scheduled to premiere on February 16 on HBO.
In addition to being enthralled with The White Lotus, Shallow is also obsessed with “The Handsome Podcast” and the book All Fours by Miranda July.
“It’s rare that a book grabs me like this one did,” the Traitors alum explains of the novel. “It’s weird, kinky, funny, sad and so smart. It hooks into female desire and creativity in the most bizarre and compelling way.”
As for blockbusters, Shallow and her daughter Ama, 6, were both impressed with the film adaptation of Wicked.
“I took my daughter to see Wicked and [she] was blown away by the absolute majesty of that movie!” Shallow says of her daughter whom she shares with ex-husband John Fincher. “The fashion, the colors, the magic, the singing, the sizzling chemistry. Everything popped off the screen and by the end I was flying on the back of that broom with my girl Elphie.”
When not watching TV or movies, Shallow also enjoys listening to singer Kendall Jane Meade.
“My girl Kendall Jane Meade recently released her post-divorce album. It’s folksy and hopeful,” Shallow shares of what’s on her playlist. “I know what it took for her to write and produce those songs. I’m so proud of her and I’m listening to it all the time!”
While fans couldn’t get enough of Shallow on season 2 of The Traitors last year, she’s making her return to reality TV for Deal or No Deal Island season 2. She’s following in the footsteps of fellow Survivor winner — and friend — Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano who came in fourth place on the inaugural season of the NBC competition series.
Deal or No Deal Island premieres on Tuesday, January 7, at 8 p.m. ET.

“I’m usually pretty good at holding my tongue, keeping my mouth shut … not saying anything, take s— from every which way and I feel like I don’t wanna today,” Cabral, 36, said in a lengthy Instagram video uploaded on Friday, January 3. “So in light of all the s— that’s been going down, I feel compelled to say if you guys only knew what it was like to be involved with this person while she’s berating me on how I treat people.”
Since joining the RHONJ cast in season 13, Cabral has had her fair share of ups and downs with Aydin, 47.. Most notably the women were at odds in season 14, which resulted in a physical altercation that subsequently got them both briefly suspended from filming.
In the Friday clip, Cabral shared that when she figures out a person’s true colors she doesn’t hesitate to cut them off.
“It broke my heart to know who people truly are and to see their true colors. Once I find that out done, bye, see you later,” she said. “And I guess it drove people insane that I’m so easily able to cut [people] out that they just spiraled and wanted to talk s—, and spew s—, and hatred and lies.”
While Cabral didn’t call out Aydin directly in the video, she was seemingly referring to the recent incident between Aydin and several Jersey Mike’s workers. The drama began when Aydin went on an Instagram Story rant about her alleged experience at a Jersey Mike’s location in an airport.
“They took our order and then they took the lady’s order that was after me but they fulfilled her order first somehow, made us wait,” Aydin claimed, calling out “the 80-year-old” working at the establishment. “Everything was slow. We’re not complaining. We get it, it’s early in the morning. You’re in a bad mood, it’s New Year’s, you’re working — I’d be pissed too.”
Cabral explained that since joining the Real Housewives franchise, she’s only tried to use her platform for “good.” However, she claimed that because “idiots” have “spread lies” about her, she’s been getting trolls in her comments section to this day spewing hate based on “false narratives” created by others.
“Imagine being a person who only looked out for people. I wanted everyone to succeed, even that asshole, even this schmuck with what she did the other day,” she continued. “A leopard never changes its spots. At the end of the day, the truth always comes out and [the] true colors of certain individuals always comes out. I will stand my ground until the day that I die, I will take the bullets from the nonsense these idiots spewed.”
Cabral added that when people meet her in real life they’re surprised that she’s nice, adding that she’s been advocating for her fellow Housewives to rethink how they act — especially in public.
“Let this be a testament of don’t always believe what you see on TV. I can’t [say I feel] vindicated by this since real people were hurt,” she said. “To see the people in this video, this woman who was working at 7 o’clock … I’m sure you all felt the same way but damn man we gotta do better.”
An apparent employee of the sandwich shop then posted a now-viral video responding with the fast food chain’s perspective of the interaction.
“I really hope this stupid bitch has TikTok,” the employee began in her post. “I really hope I come up on your For You Page bitch, I really hope you recognize me.”
The worker claimed that Aydin didn’t know what she wanted and ended up ordering “four different sandwiches” and “changing the bread last minute.” While the staff was attempting to fulfill the requests, Aydin allegedly started “backing up the entire line.” Workers then told the RHONJ star she needed to get back in line if she was going to add more sandwiches. (Us Weekly has reached out to Aydin’s team for comment.)
“She starts tweaking,” the employee claimed, alleging that Aydin said, “I’m a celebrity” and claimed she was going to sue. “She starts recording all of us and she posts it. … Learn how to order.”
Bijou Phillips found a second chance at love with Jamie Mazur shortly after her split from ex-husband Danny Masterson.
Us Weekly confirmed that Phillips filed for divorce from Masterson after 12 years of marriage in September 2023. The news broke less than a month after the That ‘70s Show alum was found guilty of two counts of forcible rape for incidents that occurred in the early 2000s.
Masterson, who has vehemently denied the allegations, was sentenced to 30 years in prison. While Masterson was on trial, Phillips remained by his side. The exes share daughter Fianna, whom they welcomed in February 2014.
In June 2024, Us confirmed that Phillips had moved on from Masterson with Mazur. According to a source, Phillps and Mazur had known each other for quite some time as the actress was friends with his former fiancée Alessandra Ambrosio. (Mazur and the model, who split in 2018, share daughter Anja and son Noah.)
“Jamie and Bijou have run in the same social circles for many years,” the insider exclusively told Us of the pair’s romance. “Bijou was friends with Alessandra many years ago and that’s how they knew each other.”

“Jamie is a great guy and has been there for her through this difficult time,” the source explained.

Phillips and Mazur made their relationship official during their first public appearance together at a Pride event. The couple stepped out at a Pride Month party hosted by Alice + Olivia in New York City. While they did not walk the red carpet together, they shared some sweet moments at the event.
“Bijou and Jamie arrived [at] the party together,” an onlooker exclusively told Us. “Jamie escorted her onto the red carpet and then looked on smiling before they entered the party together.”
The eyewitness added that Phillips and Mazur “looked like an adorable couple” as they packed on the PDA while watching pal Paris Hilton take the stage.
January 2025
Mazur and Phillips’ romance was going strong in the New Year as they enjoyed a date night at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles per People.
The couple made headlines in 2020 when they officially announced their plans to step away from their roles as senior working members of the royal family. That same year, Harry and Meghan created their nonprofit organization, the Archewell Foundation. The goal of the charity is to “uplift and unite communities, both local and global, online and offline,” per the website.
The following year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed that their decision to step down as working royals was permanent. In March 2021, they moved to the United States to raise their children, Archie and Lilibet.
In addition to their charitable endeavors, the pair secured several business deals — including partnerships with Netflix and Spotify. In late 2020, Harry and Meghan signed a $20 million deal with the music streaming giant for their exclusive partnership with Archewell Audio.
The Suits alum’s first podcast series, “Archetypes,” debuted in August 2022 and was a hit among fans. It topped the leaderboard as the No. 1 podcast in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada within days of its premiere. In the show’s first season, Meghan sat down with a series of A-list guests including Mariah Carey, Serena Williams, Paris Hilton, Andy Cohen and more.
Despite the massive success of Meghan’s podcast, the project was not renewed for a second season. In June 2023, the duo revealed that their deal with Spotify had come to an end after three years.

The pair founded their nonprofit organization Archewell shortly after stepping away from their roles as members of The Firm in early 2020. At the time of its creation, the charity’s website featured a note from Harry and Meghan explaining their goal for the organization.
"I am my mother's son. And I am our son's mother. Together we bring you Archewell. We believe in the best of humanity. Because we have seen the best of humanity. We have experienced compassion and kindness, from our mothers and strangers alike," the message read. "In the face of fear, struggle and pain, it can be easy to lose sight of this. Together, we can choose courage, healing, and connection. Together, we can choose to put compassion in action. We invite you to join us. As we work to build a better world, one act of compassion at a time."
In September 2020, Harry and Meghan signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to create original content including documentaries, movies, series and children’s programming. At the time, a source told Us that the duo were offered nearly $100 million for the partnership, which is titled Archewell Productions.
The first project released from their deal was their docuseries, Harry & Meghan. The six-part series gave viewers an inside look at the couple’s relationship from how they met to their infamous royal exit. The series debuted on the streaming service in December 2022.
After parting ways with Spotify in June 2023, rumors began to swirl that the pair’s deal with the streaming service was also on the rocks. However, a spokesperson for Netflix denied the claims, revealing that the company had plans to “continue to work together on a number of projects” with Harry and Meghan.
“We value our partnership with Archewell Productions. Harry & Meghan was Netflix’s biggest documentary debut ever, and we’ll continue to work together on a number of projects, including the upcoming documentary series Heart of Invictus,” Netflix told ET in a statement at the time.
The couple's other projects — Polo and With Love, Meghan — premiered in December 2024 and January 2025, respectively.
In addition to Netflix, Harry and Meghan signed a $20 million deal with the music streaming service for their exclusive partnership with Archewell Audio. Meghan released one season of her Archetypes podcast series in August 2022 before the plug was pulled on the project in June 2023.
Meghan invested in the women-owned coffee company after news broke in December 2020 that she sent a gift, which included the brand’s SuperLatte mix, to a friend. The wellness brand creates nutrient-riched lattes and donates a percentage of its monthly profits to organizations in the United States that fight for food justice.
In March 2021, Harry was announced as the chief impact officer of the wellness startup.
“During my decade in the military, I learned that we don’t just need to build physical resilience, but also mental resilience. And in the years since, my understanding of what resilience means — and how we can build it — has been shaped by the thousands of people and experts I’ve been fortunate to meet and learn from,” the Duke of Sussex said in a statement at the time, noting that his own experience working with a “truly awesome” BetterUp coach helped him find “a new perspective” on life.
One day after Harry was announced as the BetterUp CIO, it was announced that the Invictus Games founder would serve as one of 15 commissioners of the non-profit, which tackles misinformation in the United States.
In October 2021, Harry and Meghan teamed up with the financial services brand as impact partners. The company focuses on investing in combating environmental and social issues.
“[Harry and Meghan are] deeply committed to helping address the defining issues of our time — such as climate, gender equity, health, racial justice, human rights, and strengthening democracy — and understand that these issues are inherently interconnected,” per Ethic’s website. “So much so, in fact, that they became investors in Ethic earlier this year and have investments managed by Ethic as well.”
In January 2023, Harry released his highly anticipated tell-all, Spare. In the memoir, he opened up about his relationships with several members of the royal family, including Prince William, King Charles III and more. Harry reflected on his role of being the “spare” to William’s “heir” to the throne, the loss of their mother, falling in love with Meghan and the reason behind their decision to stop working for the royal family.
Billy Baldwin and Chynna Phillips have experienced a few bumps in their relationship over the years.
The actor and the Wilson Phillips singer met in 1991 before boarding a flight to New York. Phillips recalled in 2021 that Baldwin asked her out when they arrived at baggage claim. They tied the knot four years later. Baldwin and Phillips went on to expand their family with their three children: Jameson, Vance and Brooke, who arrived in 2000, 2001 and 2004, respectively.
While the early years of their marriage were seemingly joyful, the couple experienced their first rough patch in 2010 when Phillips filed for divorce. Days later, she withdrew the paperwork and decided to give her marriage another chance.
More than a decade later, Phillips revealed that she and Baldwin endured a lengthier separation at one point in their relationship.
“When Billy and I separated for six months and he was out of the house, I was holding on to anger and resentment because I felt it made me justified,” the musician said in a January 2024 YouTube livestream. “It made me feel like I was right, he was wrong, and it gave me this justification, this feeling of righteousness, this pride.”

“I started to feel a little flatlined, like I need more and want more, and I know we deserve more from our marriage,” Phillips exclusively told Us Weekly about why she decided to file. “It became so about the children and so about my business, his business, and I missed him. I really missed him. I missed laughing together, taking our little vacations together.”
Phillips explained that she reached a point where she felt “hopeless” that things between her and Baldwin would ever change. The pair decided to work on their relationship, however, and Phillips credited “working in therapy together” and making more time to communicate with helping them resolve their issues.

September 2023
Ahead of their 28th wedding anniversary, the pair shared that they were struggling to connect after their kids moved out of the house.
“Billy and I are having serious empty nest syndrome and we are hitting walls when it comes to finding joint interests! It’s a scary reality that we both feel uncomfortable admitting,” Phillips said in a YouTube video. “We’re trying to remain hopeful that we can have a meeting of minds and find activities that we both find stimulating.”
January 2024
Phillips confessed that she believes her interest in religion has led to a “power struggle” between her and Baldwin.
“I’ve been with Billy for 32 years, and we have an awesome marriage, but we definitely had the hardest couple years of our lives,” Phillips said in a YouTube livestream. “I think it’s because I just took the deep dive into Jesus, and I think he didn’t quite know what to do with that.”
She also shared that embracing her faith has made her a different person than she was when the duo first met.
“I’m not the same person I was 30 years ago, and I refused to have the same marriage that we had 30 years ago,” Phillips explained. “It’s time for us to mature and grow. He was on board, but I think that for him it was also like, ‘Well, you’re not into the things that I’m into.’”
April 2024
Phillips revealed that a recent rough patch in her marriage to Baldwin came after she made a cross-country move. She noted in a YouTube video that they were “getting on each other’s last nerve” during a trip from the East to West Coast before being able to have a “normal conversation.”
Phillips explained that sometimes things get “frustrating because just when I feel like we’re on a roll and things are starting to get better, we start the bickering again.” However, it seemed they’ve gotten to a place with “effective communication.”
“It was definitely a victory for us because we have a tendency to just sort of spiral and the communication breakdown gets worse and worse and we’re off to the races,” she added. “Billy’s my life partner. He’s the one I want to have the healthiest relationship with. But sometimes I don’t. A lot of times I don’t because I don’t want to rock the boat, or I don’t want to put him in a bad mood, or I’m walking on eggshells.”
Despite the progress in their relationship, Phillips admitted she still never wants to “trigger” Baldwin.
“The truth is that me having that fear is keeping us from true intimacy, because it’s preventing me from opening up to him and I’m trying to guard his feelings and yet I’m causing more trouble in our marriage by doing that,” she explained. “I’m shooting myself in the foot.”
November 2024
Phillips revealed in a YouTube video that the couple started living in separate houses but hadn’t broken up.
“Billy and I are sort of in this new kind of arrangement that is actually really working for me. I don’t know if it’s working for Billster, but I’m very happy with what we’re doing,” Phillips said in the clip. “I just really felt like, where in the Bible does it say that I have to live under the same roof 24/7 with my husband? Can you please find me that scripture?”
Phillips clarified that she and Baldwin still often meet up for date nights, therapy sessions and more.
“We enjoy each other’s company. That’s what is so hard to articulate to people: that we’re madly in love, we really enjoy being around one another, we cherish our marriage, we don’t ever want to separate,” she explained. “We just need a little bit of time apart because we are sort of an allergy to one another. And it’s OK, I’m sure lots of different couples are allergies to each other.”
December 2024
One month after the pair publicly detailed their separate living arrangements, they had a change of heart.
“At that time I felt like I needed a little bit of space and really felt like that would be the most logical answer, but I have reneged,” Phillips said in a December 29 YouTube video. “I am retracting that comment, and I am now saying that is probably a very foolish, very unwise, very destructive, stupid decision because that’s not going to solve our problem with the allergy.”
The singer gushed that she and Baldwin were in a “way better place” now that they started cohabitating again.
“It’s being kind and gentle … and being more playful,” she explained. “I need more playfulness in my life, and I feel like Billy sometimes struggles with playfulness, but you know what? He’s not me, and I have to grow up and I have to realize that just because Billy is not always as playful as I consider myself to be, that is not something that I need to come down on him for.”
Jennifer Lopez left little to the imagination in her latest bathing suit look.
Lopez, 55, stunned a while rocking a black string bikini with gold embellishments in a photo posted via her Instagram Story on Thursday, January 2. The actress paired the look with a matching cowboy hat and fur boots. To accessorize, she added a gold chain necklace.
As Lopez posed, she had one arm wrapped around and resting on her opposite elbow. Lopez’s hat covered her eyes and only her lips could be seen. The image was set to Moto Bandit’s song “Daylight Doom.”
In addition to sharing the steamy pic on her Story, Lopez also included it in her Instagram Reel highlighting her holiday trip to Aspen, Colorado. She has been in the winter destination since Christmas where she celebrated the holiday with her loved ones.
The clip also included additional photos from the same moment as Lopez switched up her pose as she tilted her head to the side showing off her profile.
Lopez seemingly remained in Aspen to ring in the New Year as she watched a local fireworks show. The Unstoppable actress also shared a pic of her and her friends smiling underneath a “Happy New Year” banner.
“We’ll be back Aspen ,” she captioned the video which also played “Daylight Doom” in the background.

Many of Lopez’s fans took to the comments section to gush over her steamy bikini look.
“It’s the bikini picture with the cowboy hat for me! SLAY mama! ,” one user replied while another wrote, “J To The Lo Hello.”
Lopez’s affinity for western headwear was a prime focus in her Aspen wardrobe. In addition to the bathing suit look, she also donned the same black cowboy hat while out and about in the city per her Instagram Reel. She paired the accessory with a black turtleneck, cozy sweater and sparkling Chanel stud earrings.
The singer wore the look while out and about with friends at a local establishment. Lopez posed for selfies with her pals. She even showed off her moves as the clip captured her doing the two-step on the dance floor.
While exploring Aspen, Lopez was also spotted sporting a white 10-gallon hat. The headpiece featured a brown leather band tied in the back, a structured white feather and several cards stacked and tucked into the band.
Lopez was photographed walking through the cozy ski town rocking the hat. She nailed the cowgirl aesthetic as she rocked the headwear with a blue coat, matching baggy jeans and a cream turtleneck sweater.
Ahead of her celebration for the new year, Lopez shared a 2024 recap where she noticeably left out estranged husband, Ben Affleck. (Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024 after two years of marriage.)
