Inside Millie Bobby Brown’s Relationship With Father-in-Law Jon Bon Jovi

12 March 2025 at 14:25

Millie Bobby Brown married into a family of greats when she tied the knot with Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jake Bongiovi.

Brown started dating Jake in the summer of 2021 and the couple announced their engagement in April 2023. At the time, Jon couldn’t help but gush about his excitement for the pair’s wedding.

They’re growing together,” the Bon Jovi frontman said to E! News in February 2024. “They’re madly in love, and we love them both for that. It’s an exciting adventure.”

After Brown married Jake in a May 2024 ceremony, Jon revealed that the couple were doing “absolutely fantastic.”

“It was a very small family wedding and the bride looked gorgeous and Jake is happy as can be,” he shared with BBC’s The One Show later that month.

“I’ve gotten to know her in the last year, she works really hard, and she and Jake will grow together in their own way,” Jon told The Times of London in an April 2024 interview.

Jon then compared Brown’s relationship with his son to his and wife Dorothea Hurley’s marriage. (The duo tied the knot in 1989.)

“It is an accelerated version of what I went through 40 years ago and I think, with the support of family around them, they’re gonna be great together,” Jon explained to the outlet.

Loving Her New Father-in-Law

Brown gushed over the perks of having Jon as a father-in-law ahead of her nuptials to Jake.

“When I need him, he is very much there for me in the best ways, always making sure I’m OK,” Brown shared on the “SmartLess” podcast in March 2025 regarding her relationship with her father-in-law. “If there’s anything that’s ever going on, I’m always like, ‘Can you help me out in this situation?’ And he’s so informative. His wisdom is ridiculous.”

Coming to Her Defense

Jon was quick to defend the couple when some criticized they were too young to tie the knot.

“I don’t know if age matters,” Jon said during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. “You know, if you find the right partner and you grow together. I think that would be my advice really, is growing together is wise. Growing together and so I think that all of my kids have found the people that they think they can grow together with and we like ‘em all.”

Jake, Jon and Hurley supported Brown at her premiere of her Netflix film Damsel in March 2024 — which she was very grateful for.

“Family is everything. I know family means a lot to Jake, family means a lot to me, and being able to incorporate both of our families,” Brown shared with Extra. “I love his parents, I love his family. I am very lucky that they took time out to come and watch my movie.”

They Have a Similar Taste in Music

When asked if Jon would be helping Jake and Brown with their wedding playlist, she couldn’t help but gush how Jon is a “wizard at music.”

“I feel that my music sense … actually, we share a music sense,” she told Extra in March 2024. “We like Ed Sheeran, we love Adele. So, I think maybe we’ll just have the same playlist.”

They Danced at Her Wedding

On a March 2025 “Call Her Daddy” podcast episode, Brown shared that Jon didn’t want to perform at her and Jake’s wedding — but he still had such a great time.

“He had so much fun. He definitely danced the night away,” she told host Alex Cooper. “Like, we had moments where we danced. I am so happy that he was able to just be, like, the father of the groom.”

Why Rory McIlroy Was Forced to Call Uber to Deliver His Golf Clubs

12 March 2025 at 14:18

Rory McIlroy may have Uber to thank for helping him stay on top of his golf game.

After trying some new golf clubs and not being thrilled with the results, the professional golfer decided to stick to what he knows and loves.

“He started the week here at Bay Hill with some newer model TaylorMade woods,” McIlroy’s coach and confidant, Brad Faxon, said on the Monday, March 10, episode of the “Sky Sports Golf” podcast. “On Sunday morning, he had his older set that he used to win at AT&T, he had them Ubered from his house Saturday night, which is pretty extraordinary to have those shipped up.”

Thanks to an Uber driver, who likely drove nearly two and a half hours to reach McIlroy’s location, the golfer was able to reunite with his clubs before The Players Championship kicks off Thursday, March 13.

“I think he’s a little more comfortable with [the clubs] that he will use this week at the Players Championship,” Faxon, 63, explained. “Those clubs have slightly more spin for him. As we know, Rory doesn’t need more speed. You need a little bit more control.”

McIlroy, 35, is expected to compete in The Players Championship, which is an annual golf tournament on the PGA Tour. Located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, the course will feature some of the best athletes in the sport including Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa.

So far, Faxon likes what he sees as McIlroy prepares to compete in the tournament, which will be available to stream on Disney+ and ESPN+.

“There’s nothing prettier in golf than seeing Rory hammer a draw down a fairway or into a green,” Faxon shared. “I love his confidence on the greens and around the greens.”

One golfer who will not be competing in The Players Championship is Tiger Woods.

Earlier this week, Woods, 49, announced via social media that he is on the mend after undergoing surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Despite his competitor’s latest injury, McIIroy remains hopeful that he can one day compete with the 15-time major champion once again on the PGA Tour.

“He’ll try. I know he’ll try,” McIlroy told reporters of Woods during a Wednesday, March 12, press conference. “But that’s a question for him, not for me. I obviously don’t know what’s in his head, but judging by prior behavior, he’ll definitely try.”

He added, “[I’m] hoping he’s in good spirits and hoping he’s doing OK.”

Millie Bobby Brown Takes the Naked Dress on a Date With Jake Bongiovi

12 March 2025 at 14:11

Millie Bobby Brown is so committed to method dressing that she even does it on date night.

Brown, 21, who is on a press tour for her forthcoming film The Electric State, walked the red carpet for a fan screening at The Paris Theatre in New York on Tuesday, March 11. Afterward, she slipped into a sheer black lace vintage dress from the ’90s (that her stylist Ryan Young unearthed from a consignment shop in London) for an evening with her husband Jake Bongiovi, who is the son of musician Jon Bon Jovi.

Brown’s outfit was just the latest in a long line of ’90s-influenced looks. Indeed, she’s recently taken to wearing only archival designs from the decade during which her new movie takes place.

Featuring a faux fur neckline and cuffs, Brown’s frock flashed her panties, which recalled Kate Mosslegendary transparent slip, who similarly wore hers with black underwear while at a party in 1993.Brown, however, elevated the ensemble not with rubber flip-flops à la Moss, 51, but black satin pumps with crystal-covered stiletto heels by Louis Vuitton.

Eagle-eyed fashion fans may recall that the supermodel also wore a near-identical black lace gown on her 50th birthday, which suggested that Brown may have been doubling down on the the everlasting appeal of the naked dress.

This isn’t the first time Brown has bared (almost) all. Last month in Madrid, she graced the crimson rug in a sheer blue Giorgio Armani gown (the exact one Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the 1998 premiere of her movie Shakespeare in Love — six years before Brown was born).

As Brown revealed on a March 11 episode of “The Movie Podcast,” Paltrow, 52, sent over a rack of ’90s-era clothes for her to wear during the ongoing press tour. Pamela Anderson also mailed the actress a “huge bag” of pre-loved pieces, which Brown was spotted in as of late.

“I’ve been a huge fan of ’90s style aesthetic, hair, makeup,” the Stranger Things actress said on the podcast. “I wasn’t as well versed in it before The Electric State, so [it] opened up those ideas.” Brown continued: “I was really able to indulge in these ’90s icons and actually pull some looks from those icons’ closets, so we have been able to build out this amazing journey of what the press tour could look like.”

We can expect to see more nostalgic Y2K looks from Brown — both on and off the red carpet.

Josh Allen Brushes Off Question About Getting Hailee a 'Bigger Ring'

12 March 2025 at 14:10

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

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

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

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

Josh Allen Kept Crying Leading Up to Hailee Steinfeld Proposal

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Robert De Niro Explains Why He No-Showed 1st Oscar Win

12 March 2025 at 14:03

Robert De Niro finally addressed why he wasn’t in attendance for his first-ever Oscar win.

“I didn’t think much about it,” De Niro, 81, admitted on the Tuesdsay, March 11, episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers.

De Niro received his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for playing Don Vito Corleone in 1974’s The Godfather Part II. During his interview with late-night host Seth Meyers, he revealed that the reason he wasn’t in attendance was because he was busy filming a movie in Italy. In fact, he didn’t even find out he’d won the Oscar until the next morning.

“I was doing [1976 historical drama] 1900 with [director] Bernardo Bertolucci in Northern Italy. It’s nine hours later there so I got a call early in the morning that I had won the Academy Award,” he remembered.

When Meyers asked whether De Niro considered watching the Oscars on TV, he admitted, “I don’t know, in those days, whether you could watch it [in other countries] … I didn’t think that I was going to win.”

De Niro remembered having a very brief and casual phone call with someone in the U.S. where he thanked the caller for informing him about the career-defining moment. He was the only Best Supporting Actor nominee missing on Oscar night when Ryan O’Neal and his daughter Tatum O’Neal announced the category winner.

The Godfather Part II director Francis Ford Coppola – who won Best Director and Best Picture that night – was called up to the stage to accept the award on De Niro’s behalf.

“I think this is a very richly-deserved award,” Coppola told viewers. “I think Robert De Niro is an extraordinary actor and he is going to enrich the films that are made for years to come.”

De Niro won his second Oscar six years later, this time for Best Actor, in recognition of playing down-and-out boxer Jake LaMotta in director Martin Scorsese‘s 1980 sports drama Raging Bull. De Niro was in attendance on Oscar night to personally accept the trophy for the second time around.

“I want to thank my mother and father for having me, and my grandfather and grandmother for having them,” he joked, before declaring: “I love everyone!”

De Niro has received nine total Oscar nominations throughout his acclaimed career, most recently getting a Best Supporting Actor nod in 2024 for portraying Oklahoma crime boss William King Hale in Killers of the Flower Moon.

Elsewhere, the actor recently offered some behind-the-scenes insight on another of his classic roles, when he confirmed to Live with Kelly and Mark in February that his unforgettable “Are you taking to me?” scene from Taxi Driver was partially improvised.

Robert De Niro Asked Sebastian Maniscalco's Dad for Advice on Playing Him

“Some of the best stuff, not always, is when it’s improvised,” he revealed in the interview.

There have been notable instances of Hollywood stars snubbing the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) at the Oscars – most notably Marlon Brando sending Native American activist Sacheen Littlefeather to deliver a statement of protest on his behalf when he won Best Actor for The Godfather in 1973.

West Virginia Coach Rich Rodriguez Bans Players From Dancing on TikTok

12 March 2025 at 14:01

Three months after securing his new gig as head football coach at the University of West Virginia, Rich Rodriguez is laying down the law like the town council in Footloose

Rodriguez, 61, announced on Monday, March 10 that players would not be permitted to dance on TikTok while members of his roster. 

“They’re going to be on it, so I’m not banning them from it,” Rodriguez told reporters of the popular social media platform. “I’m just banning them from dancing on it. It’s like, look, we try to have a hard edge or whatever, and you’re in there in your tights dancing on TikTok, ain’t quite the image of our program that I want.”

He added, “I’m allowed to do that. I can have rules. Twenty years from now, if they want to be sitting in their pajamas in the basement eating Cheetos and watching TikTok or whatever the hell, they can go at it, smoking cannabis, whatever. Knock yourself out.”

Instead, Rodriguez said he hopes his players can remain concentrated on their gridiron goals instead of the latest social media dance trends. 

“I hope our focus can be on winning football games,” he concluded. “How about let’s win the football game and not worry about winning the TikTok?”

Rodriguez’s TikTok dancing ban earned plenty of criticism on social media for a variety of reasons. 

“Rich Rod is antiquated, but he isn’t obtuse,” one person wrote via X. “So he delegitimizes a pathway for his athletes to carve out a brand for their own financial futures. He creates a chilling effect on self-determination and remains undoubtedly in control.”

Another wrote, “Not only is RichRod banning his players from dancing on TikTok (a string of words I never thought I’d write together) a potential employment issue but it also likely violates the athletes’ First Amendment rights.”

TikTok has become an increasingly popular space for college athletes, including former Colorado superstar Travis Hunter

Heisman Winner Says Fiancee Cried Herself to Sleep After Internet Backlash

Hunter, 21, has amassed 1.9 million followers on TikTok, with a video from June 2024 showing him dancing to GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” while wearing a series of onesies earning 12.9 million views. 

Despite his presence on TikTok, Hunter won the Heisman Trophy in December 2024, awarded annually to the best college football player in the country. 

A native of West Virginia, Rodriguez was previously head coach of the Mountaineers from 2001 to 2007. 

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be the head football coach at West Virginia University,” Rodriguez said in a statement after his hiring in December. “My family and I are filled with gratitude to lead the Mountaineer football program again and look forward to working with the many supporters, fans, and friends to build the best football program in America! Take Me Home!”

Jana Kramer and Allan Russell Reveal They Married Before Scotland Wedding

12 March 2025 at 13:57

Actress and singer Jana Kramer is getting honest about her marriage to husband Allan Russell.

After sliding into her DMs in 2022, Russell and Kramer, 41, welcomed a son, Roman, into world a year later in November 2023. The pair then became husband and wife in July 2024 in Scotland — or so we thought.

During the Wednesday, March 12, episode of her podcast, “Whine Down With Jana Kramer,” Kramer and Russell, 44, answered their fans’ burning questions.

One of those questions: “Did they get married before the Scotland wedding?”

“I think we should answer it,” Kramer said to Russell, who couldn’t quite understand why anyone would care about when they got married.

As Kramer continued, the actress admitted she understood where the question was coming from because Russell started wearing his wedding ring January 2024, seven months before their actually wedding.

Jana Kramer’s Fiance Allan Russell Addresses How He Feels About Her Past

“Yeah, we got married in January, and we made it formal to people in July,” Kramer said, adding it was nice to keep that piece of information between them for the last 15 months.

“We were desperate to marry each other,” the couple said on the podcast. “So what we did was, after we had a Roman, we still had that feeling, like, ‘This is so weird that we’re not married, you know, officially, and we have a son together.’ And so we went to the courthouse in January.”

Kramer and Russell wanted to keep their informal wedding just that, so a “simple notary” made it official.

Kramer noted that she didn’t want to exchange vows or do anything special in January because she wanted to save it all for their formal wedding in July.

“Our wedding date is July 13. We just made it official a little earlier,” Kramer continued.

“But there was something so beautiful and just, private and precious about us holding that together and it just being like, just us having that together without the whole world,” she added.

Jana Kramer Refuses to Reveal Whether She Signed a Prenup With Husband Allan

During the same podcast episode, Kramer and Russell also discussed the possibility of having more children together.

Kramer has two children, Jolie, 9, and Jace, 7, from her marriage to Mike Caussin. Kramer and Russell share their son, Roman, 1.

At first, Russell answered with a quick and hard, “No,” before a shocked Kramer said she was considering the idea of having another child.

“I think we should be grateful for how great that one went,” Russell said, talking about their son. “I don’t think we should.”

Kramer on the other hand told Russell that she thinks they should at least try.

“What if we try for three months?” she asked Russell. “And if it doesn’t happen, we tried it.”

Alix Earle and Stylist Defend Her Fashion Week Outfit After Fans Criticize Her Style

12 March 2025 at 13:51

Alix Earle and her stylist are having fun and laughing off hate comments together.

Earle, 24, has been receiving criticism from fans for her outfits since the 2025 Super Bowl, when she wore an all-leather look in the New Orleans heat. On Tuesday, March 11, she took to TikTok to show off her Miu Miu Paris Fashion Week outfit.

“I’m very excited about the socks with the heels,” Earle said as she gave fans a glimpse of her shiny blue ensemble spread on a bed.

She then turned the camera to her stylist, Danyul Brown, who joked, “And guys, I just ask that you count to 10 and breathe.” He added, “It’s not World War. We’re just having fun.”

How Alix Earle Achieved Her ‘Parisian Bedhead’ Look at Paris Fashion Week

Earle then cracked up in the background of the video, clearly unbothered by the hate comments she’s received about her fashion sense.

“My stylist preparing for the attack he’s going to get when I wear socks with heels today,” Earle captioned the post. “Happy Miu Miu day 😭.”

Fans were quick to poke fun at her getup which was finished with a leather Moto jacket, a white bodysuit, a coordinating handbag, knit leg warmers and strappy white kitten heels.

“THIS is the culprit!!! 🤣,” one follower joked of Earle’s stylist reveal. “Why does he h8 you so much?! 😩😩,” a second added. A third commented, “I counted to 10. I breathed. still gonna be a no from me. He has failed us too many times.” 

While some social media users weren’t here for Earle’s fit — which by the way, matched the vibe of the runway and other stars who attended, including Sydney Sweeney — others loved the toeless sock moment.

“Everyone in this comment section saying no has clearly not seen the other celebs also doing socks in heels at the Miu Miu show. It’s a moment okay!🩵😭,” one fan defended her look. Another person wrote, “I don’t care what people say, you can wear it girl.” A third felt more confident in this look than her past outfits, and commented, “I see the vision, I have faith in this one!”

In February, Earle’s followers started questioning who started styling her after seeing her Super Bowl “matrix” look. She paired a long black flared skirt with a leather Versace jacket for the big game. Despite the 80-degree day, she tied her look together with knee-high baggy leather boots.

Southern Hospitality’s Will Kulp Admits He Regrets Skipping Reunion

12 March 2025 at 13:17

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Van Halen's Sammy Hagar Mourns Fan Who Gave Him 'Red Rocker' Nickname

12 March 2025 at 13:02

Former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar paid tribute to a long-time fan responsible for a pivotal moment in his career.

“Rest in peace my friend and be sure to give Eddie [Van Halen] a big hug from me,” Hagar 77, wrote via Facebook on Monday, March 12.

Hagar penned a stirring tribute to John Pruner, the fan who he credited with giving him the nickname “The Red Rocker.” The singer explained that his long association with Pruner dated back to the late 1970s, just after he’d released his self-titled second studio album.

Fans affectionately refer to Hagar’s 1977’s self-titled record as “The Red Album” because Hagar is depicted on its cover wearing a crimson button-up shirt and surrounded by a red car and a brick building. Since the album’s signature track is also titled “Red,” fans naturally started associating Hagar with the color.

In his remembrance for Pruner, Hagar wrote that the super-fan came up with a perfect moniker for him when he once asked for an autograph.

“I was checking out of the hotel and John Pruner, the man in these photos, stopped me and asked for an autograph on the newspaper review of the concert. He asked me to sign it ‘The Red Rocker’ – that was the beginning of being the Red Rocker,” he confirmed.

Hagar even credited Pruner with being “the first redhead before the fans became [known as] redheads.”

Jon Bon Jovi Shares He’s Not in Contact With Richie Sambora

“He followed me around the country, showing up everywhere,” the rocker remembered. “I got to know him well. Later, at a birthday bash in Cabo, he showed me that he had paid to see over 100 shows! I said, ‘You will never pay to see me again’ and gave him the golden lifetime all access pass. That was well over 100 shows ago.”

The musician developed a close bond with Pruner off stage in recent years, recalling how his friend’s “health [had] been failing him for well over a decade” before his death.

“He still managed to make as many shows as he could in wheelchairs, I always made room for him on the side of the stage or wherever possible,” Hagar remembered. “Some of you might recall me giving him a shout out FaceTime from the stage when he would be in the hospital and couldn’t make the shows. His friend Jon, as well, took care of him and made sure those things happened. God bless him for that.”

The singer concluded: “Well, we lost the original number one redhead a couple nights ago. we will miss you, John pruner and the show will go on without you. I know you wouldn’t have it any other way.”

At the time of the iconic “Red Album” release, Hagar had recently left hard rock band Montrose to strike it out as a solo act. He scored his biggest solo hit with 1984’s “I Can’t Drive 55,” which hit No. 9 on the U.S. Top Rock Tracks chart that year.

Hagar was picked as David Lee Roth‘s replacement as Van Halen’s frontman in 1985, and went on to front the heavy metal group for 11 years. His debut album with Van Halen, 1986’s 5150, sold more than six million copies and has been certified six-times platinum.

Following his departure from Van Halen in 1996, Hagar resumed his solo career and even coheadlined the Song for Song, the Heavyweight Champs of Rock and Roll Tour with Roth in 2002 before reuniting with Van Halen the next year for the Best of Both Worlds Tour. Van Halen cofounder and lead guitarist Eddie Van Halen died at age 65 from throat cancer in October 2020.

Hagar has since continued recording and touring with his backing back the Waboritas, and also formed the supergroup Chickenfoot with Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and influential guitarist Joe Satriani in 2008. Anthony and Hagar have also toured with drummer Jason Bonham as The Circle in recent years.

NFL Alum Isaac Rochell, TikTok Star Allison Kuch's Relationship Timeline

12 March 2025 at 12:58

Allison Kuch and Isaac Rochell have taken the internet by storm with hilarious hijinks and their sweet love story showcased on TikTok.

The twosome met while attending the University of Notre Dame and started dating in late 2014. After Rochelle completed his college football days, he was drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers. Kuch and Rochell remained together as he set off for California and she finished up her studies.

In May 2018, the social media personality graduated and announced she was headed back to her home state of California for a “big girl job” in Los Angeles. Once reunited, the Orange County native attended her then-boyfriend’s games and cheered him on throughout the season. The following year, the influencer created her TikTok page where she posted vlog-style videos about being an NFL girlfriend. In July 2020, Rochell popped the question to his longtime love.

The two tied the knot in Cabo San Lucas in April 2021 but revealed at the end of the year they had actually eloped prior to their destination wedding. They welcomed their first baby in December 2023.

Throughout their relationship, Kuch documented the pair’s lives as Rochelle bounced around between several NFL teams, including the Los Angeles Chargers, Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders. Rochelle announced he was retiring from the NFL after seven seasons in February 2025.

“There’s so many life changes [with] becoming a mom and also Isaac not playing football right now, I’m like, ‘Wait, whoa, what’s going on?’” Kuch exclusively shared in an interview with Us Weekly, adding that having Rochell’s support helped her through her postpartum “identity crisis.” 
Rochell, for his part, added, “I just try to give her space. I mean, my phrase is always like, ‘Whatever you need, we’ll do it.’ If she needs help with something, I’m like, ‘We’ll do it, it’s not a big deal.’” 
That same month, the couple dressed up to pose for pics on the 2024 Baby2Baby Gala red carpet in West Hollywood. Kuch stood out in an orange high-neck dress, while Rochell accessorized his black textured suit with a gold brooch.

The couple celebrated their daughter’s 1st birthday with sweet social media tributes. “I spent the first three weeks of her life trying to figure out what it meant to be a dad while also getting to know someone I didn’t know anything about. I was supposed to be madly in love with a person I had never even met. Let me tell you, when that feeling sinks in, there’s no going back,” Rochell captioned photos of his little one via Instagram. “I’ve felt ‘love’ many times, but l can promise you, this is so much more. Cheers to a lifetime with my baby girl, Scottie.” 
Kuch, meanwhile, called 2024 the “best year of our lives” while sharing a montage of clips from their parenthood journey thus far.

Kuch celebrated her husband via Instagram after he announced his retirement from the NFL after seven seasons. “For the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of watching you chase your dream, pouring your blood, sweat, and tears into this game,” she wrote alongside snaps of the pair from Rochell’s Notre Dame days through his time with the Raiders. “I’ve seen the highs—the victories, the unforgettable moments, the hard earned celebrations. And I’ve seen the lows—the injuries, the setbacks, the sacrifices that no one else sees. Through it all, you’ve carried yourself with strength and a work ethic that never wavered.”  
Calling herself his “biggest fan,” she added, “I am SO UNBELIEVABLY PROUD OF YOU. 7th rounder gone 7 years in the NFL.”
