Stephen “tWitch” Boss is survived by his wife, children and more extended relatives after his December 2022 death at age 40.

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us,” Boss’ wife, Allison Holker, said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times at the time. “Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”

The So You Think You Can Dance alums began dating after competing on the dance competition in 2010. They shared three children together: Weslie, Maddox and Zaia. (Boss adopted Weslie, Holker’s daughter from a previous relationship.)

Allison Holker (tWitch’s Wife) — Though tWitch and Holker initially met in 2006, sparks didn’t fly until seeing each other again in 2010 on the So You Think You Can Dance: All-Stars competition. The pair tied the knot three years later and welcomed son Maddox in 2016 and daughter Zaia in 2019. The Stomp the Yard: Homecoming actor also adopted Holker’s daughter, Weslie, from a previous relationship.
Three days before his death, tWitch and Holker — who, in addition to her own career as a professional dancer, appeared as a cheerleader in the first two High School Musical films — celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary. “Happy anniversary my love @allisonholker #9years ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” the choreographer wrote via Instagram at the time, alongside a black-and-white photo of the two dancing at their wedding.
The following day, the couple uploaded a joint video of them rocking around the Christmas tree. “HOLIDAY SUNDAY FUNDAY DANCE !!!” the twosome captioned the sweet clip. Holker confirmed her husband’s death one day after his passing, paying tribute to him in her statement at the time.
Holker wrote her This Far memoir, which was released in 2025, that charted the couple’s relationship. She also claimed that Boss had struggled with addiction ahead of his passing, which sparked criticism from his other relatives and friends. Holker insisted that she only wrote the book to “help other people” and share the pair’s respective stories.

Weslie (tWitch’s Eldest Daughter) — tWitch adopted Weslie, Holker’s daughter from a previous relationship. Based on the teen's Instagram account, which is run by her parents, she plays high school soccer and has done some modeling. While mourning tWitch, Jodie Sweetin told Entertainment Tonight that her daughter Zoie is friends with Weslie as they go to the same school.

Maddox (tWitch’s Son) — The dancers welcomed their only son, Maddox, into the world in 2016. Their little boy — who began first grade in August 2022 — was frequently featured on his dad’s Instagram, including a sweet video where he was doing “the running man” dance move while tWitch picked him up.
“Okay this was a good idea until it wasn’t. Hindsight is 20/20…….and a lot less painful in this case,” the former Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ joked at the time. “Can’t front though, Maddox form is amazing. 🤣🤣.”

Zaia (tWitch’s Youngest Daughter) — Holker and tWitch’s youngest child, Zaia, was born in November 2016. The couple celebrated their little girl’s 3rd birthday in November 2022. “This is 3!! Can’t believe how quickly this time has passed!So proud of our baby Z,” tWitch wrote at the time, alongside a clip of photos of their little one throughout the years. “We love you Zaia and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 🎁🎈🎊🎉🎂.”

Connie Boss Alexander (tWitch’s Mom) — Along with his other family members, tWitch often shared sweet photos and videos with his mom via social media. In October 2022, the ABC alum celebrated his mother’s birthday with a heartfelt post and a carousel of family photos.
“Mom thank you for life and thank you for love,” he wrote at the time. “Love you to the moon and back and back again.”
Earlier that month, Alexander danced with her son and daughter-in-law on the app. “Ayyyye you know it’s a good day when mom is out here grooving with us!!” tWitch captioned the video.
Days after her son's passing, Alexander took to her Instagram Story to thank everyone for their well-wishes and pay tribute to tWitch. "Stephen Laurel, your mother loves you to eternity and beyond," she penned.

Deondre (tWitch’s Brother) — In the wake of his brother’s death, Deondre shared multiple posts paying tribute to tWitch.
In September, he gave the Step Up: Revolution star a sweet shout-out. “This dude @sir_twitch_alot is the definition of a true brother,” Deondre captioned the image of him and tWitch smiling at the camera. “We can be completely honest with each other and allow for a difference of opinion. We build each other up by taking action. It’s amazing to have such a role model. Love you much you lame ass 😂.”

Cameron (tWitch’s Brother) — Stephen’s younger brother honored his late sibling with an Instagram video of the SYTYCD alum busting a move. “The King of this s—t. Effortless,” Cameron wrote days after his brother’s passing. “LONG LIVE STEPHEN TWITCH BOSS.”
tWitch, for his part, paid tribute to his “kid brother” on his 24th birthday in 2017 by sharing a photo of the two as kids via Twitter.
“Even though he is my kid brother, he isn't really a kid anymore especially that today is his 24th birthday,” tWitch wrote at the time. “I still remember this day in 93. Ganny came to pick me up from school and simply said ‘He's here’. From bottle feeds, power ranger games, tony hawk, dynasty warriors, living room dance sessions, fights, and deep talks, cheers to 24 and much love to 24 more!! Love you Brother!”

Eddy Boss (tWitch’s Grandfather) — Both tWitch and his grandfather shared their love for one another in the days leading up to and after the DJ’s death.
“Shouting the BIGGEST HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GRANDFATHER (DADA)! I love you! IG fam help me wish him happy birthday @mreb38 ❤️❤️❤️ #OGBoss,” tWitch wrote via Instagram several days before his passing, sharing a recent photo of him and his grandpa, as well as a throwback image from his childhood.
Eddy, for his part, paid tribute to his late grandson in a Wednesday, December 14 interview with the Daily Mail. “All I can say is he was a beautiful person that contributed so much to this world and to everyone he met in a positive way,” Eddy told the outlet. “We miss him dearly and we're hurting tremendously.' The supportive grandfather also revealed tWitch’s final text to him. “His last words to me were a simple text that says ‘I love you Dad-Dad.’”

Every Time Princess Kate Paid Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II With Her Jewelry 9 January 2025 at 06:00

Every Time Princess Kate Paid Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II With Her Jewelry

Us Weekly News

By: Michelle McGahan

9 January 2025 at 06:00

A royal tribute. It was considered a high honor whenever the late Queen Elizabeth II would allow family members to borrow her jewels — and Princess Kate Middleton made sure to return the favor by honoring the late monarch with her chosen gems.

Throughout her seven decades as Britain’s longest-reigning sovereign, the queen — who died in September 2022 at age 96 — would lend her jewelry out on special occasions, always abiding by royal protocol. Tiaras, in particular, came with their own set of rules, including one that states family members can’t wear the headpiece until they’re married — and non-family members can’t don one until they marry into the family.

Kate first wore one of Queen Elizabeth’s tiaras at her April 2011 wedding to Prince William, sporting the sparkling Cartier “Halo” design that held her sheer veil. The stunning headpiece was initially purchased by the monarch’s father, King George VI, for his wife, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, who passed it down to her eldest daughter on Elizabeth’s 18th birthday.

While Kate has often chosen to honor her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, with her style and jewels, she has also frequently worn many of the queen’s accessories — at celebratory and somber occasions alike — in the years since she wed William.

Two years prior to Queen Elizabeth’s death, a source exclusively told Us Weekly about the bond between Kate and the monarch.

“Her Majesty sees the Cambridges as the future of the monarchy and trusts Kate and William’s judgment implicitly,” the insider told Us in April 2020. “Kate asks for advice about speeches she’s due to make, whom she can depend on most within the palace and protocol dos and don’ts. The queen’s more than happy to impart her wisdom — she’s proud to be Catherine’s go-to adviser about royal life.”

Kate again sported a pair of the late monarch’s jewelry and Diana’s at King Charles III’s royal coronation in May 2023 by pairing her white Alexander McQueen gown and glittering floral headpiece by wearing Elizabeth’s George VI Festoon Necklace and Diana’s South Sea Pearl Earrings.

Keep scrolling to see every time Kate honored the late monarch with her jewelry:

Pearl Necklace and Earrings — Kate looked sharp at the Ceremonial Welcome of the Amir of the State of Qatar in a wine red Alexander McQueen blazer dress and a layered pearl necklace, which once belonged to the late queen in December 2024. Kate matched the choker with pearl drop earrings dating back to 1947.

Lover’s Knot Tiara — Kate looked lovely while wearing the Lover’s Knot tiara at the Diplomatic Corps at Buckingham Palace in November 2023. She added even more sparkle to her look with a sequin Jenny Packham dress featuring delicate floral beading on the waist and collar.

Pearl and Diamond Earrings — Kate wore the queen’s statement pearl-and diamond-earrings, which are thought to be part of the Queen’s matching Brooch collection, at the National Service of Remembrance in November 2023.

Pearl Earrings — Kate looked classy while wearing a pair of Elizabeth’s pearl earrings at a service for the Queen in September 2023.

Floral Studs — Kate beamed in colorful stud earrings that once belonged to HRH while enjoying Jubilee festivities in June 2022.

Diamond Earrings — Kate wore a pair of Queen Elizabeth II’s dangling diamond earrings while speaking at Place2Be Wellbeing in Schools Awards in November 2016.

Leaf Pin — Kate wore a diamond leaf pin at a Ceremonial Welcome in April 2014.

Diamond Necklace — Kate sported Queen Elizabeth’s George VI Festoon Necklace at Charles’ coronation in May 2023. Created in 1950, the piece features three rows of diamonds and was commissioned by Elizabeth’s father, King George VI. She also wore Diana’s South Sea Pearl Earrings to the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

Four-Strand Pearl Necklace — Kate, who wore the four-strand necklace to the queen’s funeral, added the baubles to her Remembrance Festival outfit in November 2022.

Three-Strand Pearl Necklace — The Princess of Wales held a lunch for the governors-general of the Commonwealth nations at Buckingham Palace in September 2022, and she wore the late queen's favorite accessory — a triple set of pearls.

Pearl-Leaf Brooch — Kate wore the sparkler atop her black coat dress as she participated in Her Majesty's procession to Westminster Hall in September 2022.

Cartier ‘Halo’ Tiara — As her 2011 wedding to William officially made her a member of the royal family, Kate marked the occasion by wearing the queen’s Cartier tiara.

Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings — Though Elizabeth wasn’t in attendance at the Service of Thanksgiving celebration during her June 2022 Platinum Jubilee, Kate paid tribute to the sovereign through her choice of earrings — on loan from the queen herself.

Sapphire and Diamond Earrings — The University of St. Andrews alum stunned in these sapphire and diamond earrings, which originally belonged to the Queen Mother.

Cambridge Lovers’ Knot Tiara — A favorite of the late Princess of Wales — loaned to her by the queen as well — Kate has worn the aptly titled Cambridge Lovers’ Knot tiara on multiple occasions.

Diamond Chandelier Earrings — A clear fan of the queen’s earrings — and diamonds — the duchess dazzled while wearing this stunning set from the monarch.

Four Row Japanese Pearl Choker — Kate opted to pay tribute to Philip and the queen at the Duke of Edinburgh’s 2021 funeral by wearing a matching set of pearl earrings and a pearl choker, which she borrowed from Elizabeth.

Diamond Quarterfoil Bracelet — Kate, like her grandmother-in-law before her, shined bright like a diamond whenever she borrowed this jewel of a bracelet from the monarch.

Queen Elizabeth’s Wedding Bracelet — It doesn’t get any more special than borrowing the same bracelet Her Majesty wore on her wedding day, seen here on Kate in 2015.

Maple Leaf Brooch — The late sovereign, known for her bright style and special brooches, lent her maple leaf-shaped pin to her granddaughter-in-law on her 2016 tour of Canada.

Nizam of Hyderabad Necklace — This diamond-encrusted beauty is fit for a queen — literally.

Aaron Rodgers' Most Controversial Moments Through the Years

Us Weekly News

By: Michelle McGahan

17 December 2024 at 10:49

Aaron Rodgers is one of the best-ever quarterbacks to play in the NFL, but it’s often his antics off the field that get the most people talking.

Rodgers — who was the Green Bay Packers superstar quarterback for 18 seasons before joining the New York Jets in April 2023 — came under fire in November 2021 when it was revealed he misled people about his COVID-19 vaccination status when he told reporters that he was “immunized” when he hadn’t actually been vaccinated.

The athlete defended his use of the phrase, calling it “the truth.”

“Had there been a follow-up to my statement that I’d been immunized, I would have responded with this: I would have said, ‘Look, I’m not some sort of anti-vax-flat-Earther. I’m somebody who’s a critical thinker,’” Rodgers later explained on the Pat McAfee Show. “I march to the beat of my own drum. I believe strongly in bodily autonomy, [in the] ability to make choices for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some woke culture or crazed group of individuals who say you have to do something.”

Not Just Deflategate! Biggest NFL Controversies Through the Years

Keep scrolling for all of Rodgers’ controversies through the years:

Family Feud

While a contestant on The Bachelorette in 2016, Aaron’s brother Jordan Rodgers told future wife JoJo Fletcher that he and Aaron “don’t really have that much of a relationship.”

“It’s just kind of the way he’s chosen to do life and I’ve chosen to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother,” Jordan explained at the time. “Yeah, it’s not ideal and I love him and I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in his shoes and have the pressure he has, the demands from people that he has. Don’t have hard feelings against him, it’s just how things go right now.”

The brothers’ estrangement only grew worse as the years went on, particularly after both Jordan and other brother Luke Rodgers called out Aaron for allegedly not being there for their family amid the California wildfires in 2018. (Aaron also missed Jordan’s wedding in 2022.)

In Aaron’s 2024 Netflix docuseries, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, he reflected on the strain Jordan’s Bachelorette stint put on their relationship.

“It wasn’t like I was super duper close with everybody in the family. I was close with my little brother [Jordan],” Aaron said. “But in actuality, it goes back to stuff from high school that kind of made me feel distant. Stuff in college, stuff post-college. I was quiet about it. I thought the best way to do it was just don’t talk about it publicly.”

Everything Aaron Rodgers Revealed About Family Drama in Netflix Series

He recalled that Jordan — and the show producers — did the opposite of that by making it clear during hometowns that Aaron was absent. “And what do they do? They go on a bulls— show and leave two empty chairs,” Aaron said. “They all agreed this was a good thing to do, to leave two empty chairs at a stupid dating show that my brother just went on to get famous — his words, not mine. That he ended up winning. But a dinner that was during the season, I was never asked to go to. Not that I would’ve gone.”

Aaron also alleged in the December 2024 doc that he “found a lot of resistance” from his family when he stopped practicing the same Christian religion he was taught as a child. Instead, the athlete turned to “other religions and plant medicine” which fueled his “alternative lifestyle.” The religious shift “definitely changed the dynamics of my family,” he added.

COVID-19 Vaccine Drama

Aaron — who contracted COVID-19 in November 2021 — was forced to pay $14,650 for breaking NFL COVID-19 safety protocols as an unvaccinated player. His violations included attending a party with other teammates and speaking to reporters without a mask on. The Packers were fined $300,000 for not disciplining him or reporting his violations.

Ayahuasca Journey

In August 2022, Aaron claimed on “The Aubrey Marcus Podcast” that doing ayahuasca helped him win two back-to-back MVP awards in 2020 and 2021.

“I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I really don’t. I don’t really believe in coincidences at this point,” he said. “It’s the universe bringing things to happen when they’re supposed to happen and there’s signs and synchronicities all around us at all times if we’re awake enough to see them and to take them in and to listen to our intuition when it’s speaking to us or, you know, pounding us in the head saying, ‘Hey dummy, this is what you’re supposed to be doing.'”

Aaron Rodgers Most Controversial Moments Through the Years

The 9/11 Question

In November 2022, Packers backup QB DeShone Kizer claimed on “The Breneman Show” podcast that Aaron once encouraged him to question whether the September 11 attacks happened.

“He shut the door, and the first thing that comes out of Aaron Rodgers’ mouth was ‘Do you believe in 9/11?’” Kizer recalled, noting that Aaron wanted him to “‘read up on that’” and to “go back and look into some of the conspiracies around it.”

The Constant Indecision

During multiple offseasons, Aaron kept fans — and the Green Bay Packers — waiting for long periods of time while he publicly hinted at a possible desire to be traded or retire altogether. After ultimately sticking with the Packers every time, in 2023 he and the team finally pulled the trigger when Aaron was traded to the Jets.

Aaron Rodgers Loses 'Pat McAfee Show' Gig After Jimmy Kimmel Comments

Golf Cheating Claims

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen called out Aaron for allegedly cheating at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament in February 2023.

“I love Aaron, but he did [cheat],” Allen said on Barstool Sports’ “Pardon My Take” podcast in August 2023. Allen accused Aaron of “sandbagging,” meaning he downplayed how good he was at golf before the match in order to be afforded extra strokes during the match.

“He may have gotten seven or eight strokes too many at Pebble Beach, or nine,” Allen claimed “other sources” said. Then he joked, “I think Aaron Rodgers should be in jail.”

Jimmy Kimmel Beef

Jimmy Kimmel found himself in a years-long feud with Aaron after he poked fun at the NFL star’s controversial COVID-19 vaccine beliefs in 2021. “Nothing says I heal myself with crystals like this haircut — that little knot on top,” Kimmel said in a November 2021 Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue before flashing to a selfie of Rodgers in a man bun. “Aaron is a Karen, that’s the fact of the matter.”

In March 2023, Aaron revealed on The Pat McAfee Show that he was interested in seeing the list of names that were connected to the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Kimmel shared snippets of Aaron’s interview on his show and implied that he might have a potential head injury.

Aaron didn’t respond at the time, but he stoked the fire in January 2024 when he insinuated that Kimmel should be worried about the names on Epstein’s list coming out — implying that the comedian had some connection to the accused sex offender. “I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I will definitely be popping some sort of bottle,” Aaron said on The Pat McAfee Show.

Kimmel slammed Aaron via X for his remarks, denying any connection to Epstein. “Dear A——-: for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any ‘list’ other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality,” Kimmel wrote in January 2024. “Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court. @AaronRodgers12.”

After Kimmel went off on Aaron’s reckless accusations and actions on his talk show, the quarterback responded to the backlash. “I wish him the best. I don’t give a s— what he says about me,” Aaron said on a January 2024 episode of The Pat McAfee Show. “As long as he understands what I actually said, that I’m not accusing him of being on a list. I’m all for moving forward.”

The Infamous Jets Coach Push

Aaron raised eyebrows in September 2024 when he was caught pushing Jets coach Robert Saleh away when he came in for a hug during their game against the New England Patriots. The awkward moment caused some viewers to think there was tension between the player and coach.

“He’s not a big hugger usually,” Aaron said of Saleh in his postgame press conference, explaining, “So I didn’t know he was going for the hug. He likes to do the two-hand chest push.” He insisted the moment “wasn’t awkward at all,” which Saleh echoed himself.

The following month, amid the Jets disappointing start to the season, Saleh was fired. Rumors began to swirl that Aaron’s relationship with Saleh played into the franchise’s choice to let him go, which he denied. “As far as any of the ridiculous allegations out there, I’m not going to spend more than one sentence in response to it,” Aaron said during an October 2024 appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. “I resent any of those accusations because they’re patently false.”

Dick Van Dyke Is 99! See the 'Mary Poppins' Star's Life in Photos

A star of both stage and screen, Dick Van Dyke has endeared himself to generations of fans.

Van Dyke — who has four Emmys, one Grammy and a Tony Award to his name — married Arlene Silver in 2012. During a February 2023 interview with Yahoo! Music, the Mary Poppins star joked that “having a beautiful young wife half my age to take care of me” has kept him young.

Prior to his marriage to Silver, Van Dyke wed his first wife, Margie Willett, in 1948. The pair had four children: Christian, Barry, Stacy and Carrie Beth.

In addition to his real-life loves, Van Dyke also had palpable chemistry with his onscreen wife Mary Tyler Moore on the Dick Van Dyke Show, which ran from 1961 to 1966 and earned 15 Emmy Awards.

Keep scrolling to see Van Dyke’s life and career in photos:

1948 — Van Dyke married his first wife, Willet, and together they had four children.

1961 — The Diagnosis Murder alum originated the role of Albert Petersen in the Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie, winning the Best Featured Actor in a Musical Tony Award for his performance. Van Dyke reprised the award-winning part in the hugely successful film version two years later.

1961 to 1966 — Van Dyke became a household name in the early ‘60s, thanks to his own titular sitcom — which earned 15 Emmy awards and one Golden Globe across its five-season run.

1964 — The Divorce American Style actor starred alongside Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins, one of the most famous movies of his career. Van Dyke famously played Bert the chimney sweep in the beloved Disney movie, putting on a Cockney accent that people still give him a hard time for — even decades later. (Van Dyke was also credited under a pseudonym for his role as villain Mr. Dawes.)
In 2017, upon receiving the Britannia Award for Excellence in Television, he quipped, “I appreciate this opportunity to apologize to the members of BAFTA for inflicting on them the most atrocious Cockney accent in the history of cinema.”

1968 — Four years after the enduring success of Mary Poppins, Van Dyke had another hit on his hands with the fantasy musical film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

1970s — Van Dyke began dating Michelle Triola Marvin, whom he was in a decades-long relationship with until her death in 2009.

1984 — Despite splitting decades prior, Van Dyke and Willet officially divorced.

Late 1980s — After losing his granddaughter Jessica to Reye’s Syndrome in 1987, Van Dyke became vocal about teaching parents the unknown dangers of giving children aspirin — a leading cause of the illness — appearing in commercials to promote awareness.

2006 — Van Dyke joined the legendary cast of Night at the Museum — starring Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Owen Wilson and more — playing a crucial (and villainous!) role as former Museum of Natural History security guard Cecil Fredericks.

The Alfred Hitchcock Presents alum married Silver after meeting five years earlier at the 2007 SAG Awards, where she was doing his makeup.
"He said, ‘Hi, I’m Dick,’" Silver told Closer Weekly in 2012. "The first thing I asked him was, ‘Weren’t you in ‘Mary Poppins?’ We got along immediately as friends, so it didn’t feel like he was so much older than me."
Van Dyke, for his part, told Closer: "We share an attitude. She can go with the flow. She loves to sing and dance, which we do almost every day. She’s just delightful."

Van Dyke was awarded with the Life Achievement Award at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
“I’ve knocked around in this business 70 years, and I still haven’t quite figured out what it is I do,” he joked in his acceptance speech. “But it’s been – the years have just been full of surprises for me. And a lot of fun. Aren’t we lucky to have found a line of work that doesn’t require growing up?”

2018 — The Illinois native appeared in Mary Poppins Returns — thought not as Bert, but as Mr. Dawes, Jr. as a nod to his special appearance as villain Mr. Dawes Sr. in the original film.

February 2023 — Van Dyke not only stunned fans but also the judges when he was unveiled as the Gnome on season 9 of The Masked Singer at age 97 — making him the oldest contestant to participate on the singing competition show.

December 2023 — On the eve of his 98th birthday, Van Dyke was seen heading to the gym for a workout with Silver. He flashed a big smile for the photos and joked to photographers that Silver “makes [him] go to the gym,” per Page Six.
The actor also joked about his upcoming birthday. “My God, nobody should be 98 years old,” he said.

December 2024 — Days before ringing in his 99th birthday, Van Dyke and Silver were forced to evacuate their Malibu home due to dangerous wildfires. “I forgot how old I am, and I realized I was crawling to get out,” he told NBC News at the time, noting that he attempted to prevent the flames by dousing his home with water.
“Three neighbors came and carried me out and came back and put out a little fire in the guest house and saved me,” he shared. “Thank God for them.” Van Dyke and Silver were able to return to their residence shortly after.

While Pitch Perfect fans were all about Anna Kendrick and Skylar Astin’s characters’ in-universe relationship, the cast has had their fair share of dating experience in real life, including one Pitch Perfect marriage.

Anna Camp, who portrayed Bellas’ leader Aubrey, married Astin in 2016, four years after the first film was released. However, their relationship wasn’t meant to last and the two divorced in 2019.

When Brittany Snow married Tyler Stanaland in 2020, Camp and their fellow Barden Bella Kelley Jakle both served as bridesmaids. Snow’s union, however, was also short-lived as she and Stanaland called it quits in September 2022.

Kendrick has also experienced the effects of heartbreak in the spotlight. The actress publicly split from Bill Hader in June 2022 after connecting on the set of 2019’s Noelle. The former couple began dating in January 2022.
