Unlike some other ceremonies, the SAG Awards give celebs a chance to show off their style and pack a little extra punch with their outfits.
While the show never fails to serve up glitz and glamour, it’s garnered quite a reputation for out-of-the-box outfits. There’s never a shortage of buzz-worthy ensembles, from jumpsuits to sequins or daring dresses.
Perhaps one of the show’s most iconic outfits came to pass in 2010 when Kate Hudson slayed in a backless Emilio Pucci gown that was seemingly a page of Andy Anderson’s playbook. The actress topped best-dressed lists across the board with a low hem that showed off her toned physique and delicate silver detailing.
Unfortunately, not all red-carpet moments are as amazing as Hudson’s. In 2014, Meryl Streep made headlines in a black dress designed by Stella McCartney. Even though the star can do no wrong in our eyes, many thought the gown looked like a skirt that was pulled up above her shoulders.
To see all these looks and more of the jaw-dropping fashion from SAG Awards show’s past, keep scrolling:
Robbie got leggy in a black Schiaparelli mini dress in 2024. The pièce de résistance was her pink train, which was strapped to her shoulder and wrapped around her waist.
Brooks wore an interesting look custom-designed by Christian Siriano in 2024. Her ensemble featured half of a long blazer and half of a billowing skirt that cascaded behind her.
At the 2020 ceremony, Lupita Nyong’o dazzled in a black and white Louis Vuitton dress that featured 20,000 sequins and 12,000 glass beads. She accessorized the look with Forevermark jewels.
Mandy Moore looked gorgeous at the 2019 event in a sleek Jason Wu gown with a beaded off-the-shoulder neckline. She paired the dress with Jimmy Choo shoes and Niwaka jewels.
Yara Shahidi's jumpsuit isn't technically a gown, but that's one of the reasons it stood out! With a chic train and pockets, this Ralph Lauren Collection number was the star of the 2018 red carpet.
Sofia Vergara wowed in a hot pink bodycon column dress by Vera Wang, accessorizing with a matching Jimmy Choo clutch and a statement collar necklace by David Webb.
Winning! Alicia Vikander, who took home an award for her performance in The Danish Girl, sparkled in a mixed-metal color blocked column gown by Louis Vuitton.
No laughing matter. Kristen Wiig rocked an asymmetrical Roland Mouret jumpsuit with a geometric beaded bodice on the carpet. She paired the look with a Jimmy Choo clutch and strappy heels.
Hey, cut it out! Kaley Cuoco picked a one-shouldered black cutout dress by Ramona Keveza that showed off her ab muscles. Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Jimmy Choo heels completed her sultry ensemble.
TKO! Supporting her husband Matthew McConaughey, Camila Alves stunned at the 2015 ceremony in this eggplant-hued dress by Donna Karan Atelier, tailored and draped to perfection. She finished with an Aldo clutch.
Just one of her stunning 2014 awards season looks, Lupita Nyong'o's teal Gucci dress scored points not only for its vibrant hue, but also for its gorgeous floral neckline. Bonus: She added matching eyeshadow.
While some fashion critics accused her of copying Michelle Williams' marigold-hued 2006 Oscars dress, it's undeniable that Diane Kruger looked incredible in her vibrant Jason Wu gown in 2010.
We applaud Sarah Paulson for taking big style risks, but her 2014 Rochas dress—just a bit too ruffled and twee to be taken seriously—just didn't do it for Us.
Pants, please! Always one to forge her own sartorial path, Julia Roberts ditched the dresses in favor of a watermelon, wide-legged Valentino jumpsuit in 2014.
We know—Meryl Streep can do no wrong! Nevertheless, she did make a slight style misstep when she chose this unflattering LBD by Stella McCartney in 2014. The elastic waistline made it look like a skirt pulled up to her shoulders!
Lovely in lace! Naomi Watts looked gorgeous in a strapless, floor-length, silvery, lace mermaid gown by Marchesa, which she paired with a sweeping side wavy hairstyle and bold red lips in 2013.
While fashion critics were divided on Claire Danes' floral-print strapless Louis Vuitton look in 2011, most agreed that she should've ditched the black velvet buckled belt.
Mad about this look? Not quite. January Jones turned heads in a black jersey wrap gown with a white organza halter bodice by Prabal Gurung in 2013, but it was her hairstyle and makeup that truly made this overall look a fashion miss.
Kate Hudson kicked off the red carpet trend of long-sleeve, backless gowns when she rocked a white Emilio Pucci design that showed off her incredible body in 2010.
In 2011 mom-to-be Natalie Portman showed off her growing bump in a clingy white strapless Azzaro dress and $2 million worth of dazzling Tiffany jewels.
After a few years out of the spotlight, Julia Stiles made a stunning return to the red carpet in a Monique Lhullier navy and white ombre gown last year.
As if the pea green color of Jane Krakowski's Catherine Malandrino dress in 2008 wasn't bad enough, the neckline looked like it was made out of exotic fruit.
Weeks after wearing a fussy pink ruffled look at the 2011 Golden Globes, Glee's Lea Michele showed off her sexy side in a plunging beaded Oscar de la Renta number.
“We went on a double date,” Reynolds told Entertainment Weekly’s SiriusXM show in February 2016. “She was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl — and that was, like, the most awkward date for the respective parties because we were just like fireworks coming across.”
Still, Reynolds said he was glad that the two started off as “buddies” before things turned romantic. “I remember it was funny, because for about a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and all that stuff, we were both single,” he said of their shared 2010 film. “I think the best way to have a relationship is to start as friends.”
Not only did they go to tie the knot in September 2012, but they have since welcomed four children. Reynolds and Lively share daughters James, Inez and Betty, who were born in 2015, 2016 and 2019, respectively. They welcomed their fourth child, son Olin, in 2023.
Lively and Reynolds made their debut as Green Lantern costars at 2010 Comic-Con at the San Diego Convention Center. At the time, Reynolds was still married to Scarlett Johansson, and Lively was dating Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley.

The costars posed for photographers at Warner Bros. Pictures' presentation of The Big Pictures 2011 at CinemaCon at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Reynolds filed for divorce from Johansson in December 2010.
Lively and Reynolds shared a few laughs during a 2011 WonderCon press conference at Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. "I'm very happy not to be in a relationship right now," Reynolds told Details in May 2011. "That's OK. I didn't plan on it, that's for sure ... but that's OK."
The stars spoke on stage at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, California. The actress was dating Leonardo DiCaprio at the time.

Dating rumors swirled when Lively was seen leaving Reynolds apartment with him early in the morning in Boston. "Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain, but you come out of it," Reynolds told Details magazine in May 2011 of his split from Johansson. "I'm not out of it yet. At all."
Reynolds was seen leaving his apartment in Boston with Lively and his dog Baxter. "I've been with very few people," Lively told Marie Claire in June 2012. "If I'm not with somebody who really excites or inspires me, then I'd rather be by myself."
The couple spent the holidays with Reynolds' family in Vancouver, Canada. They held hands while walking through the Granville Island Public Market. "To be around me, you must love food or I'm the most obnoxious person you've ever met," Lively told Marie Claire. "I'm in a big cooking phase. That's all I'll talk about."
Reynolds and his girlfriend Lively were seen going for a stroll in New Orleans but tried to keep hidden from cameras. "I've been in relationships pretty much since high school," Reynolds told Details magazine in May 2011. "Some people look at that as a good thing. I think wiser people might see that as a house of cards."
The happy pair visited the Ferry Terminal in Nanaimo, British Columbia. "I don't want to date someone just to date someone," Lively told Cosmopolitan in September 2008. "I want to be with a guy who's going to better my quality of life, better me."
Surprise! After enjoying a romantic boat ride in Venice in August, the couple tied the knot at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina (where The Notebook was also filmed), on September 9 after a year of dating. Lively wore a wedding gown designed by Marchesa and her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costars America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel were all in attendance. Half-sister Robyn Lively also recreated her Teen Witch dance from the late '80s film classic.
Ooh la la! The newlyweds shared an adorable smooch during a trip to Paris. "They were kissing the entire time," an eyewitness told Us Weekly. "The locals said hello, but they were only interested in each other."

The pair dressed to impress while attending The Sound of Change Live concert at Twickenham Stadium in London. "I was recently asked how my style has changed since I got married, as if I was living under some sort of dictatorship," Lively said in the September 2013 issue of Lucky magazine. "I'm very lucky to be with someone who has better taste than me," she added of Reynolds. "We influence each other in different ways."
The couple stepped out for a good cause at the A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To Cure Parkinson's event benefiting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research in NYC.
Keeping her man close! The twosome were spotted heading back to their car after grabbing a bite to eat at a Chinese restaurant in Vancouver. Back in December, Lively admitted she re-pins pictures of her hot beau on her Pinterest account during an interview with NY Mag's The Cut.
The couple walked arm in arm at the Met Gala in NYC. The duo later skipped the afterparties to eat hot fudge sundaes with peanut butter sauce at NYC hot spot Serendipity. "Everything we do in life we do together," Lively later said in the August 2014 issue of Vogue magazine. "I get to share my life with the person he's become, and we get to grow from there."
Picture-perfect! The couple posed together as they arrived for the screening of Captives at the 67th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France. "We've never gone a week without seeing each other," Lively said in the September 2014 issue of Marie Claire. "He's my best, best friend," she added. "If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would."
The A Simple Favor star announced that she was expecting her first child with the Deadpool actor in October 2014 with a photo of her burgeoning belly on her old website, Preserve.
Three months later, the actress gave birth to the couple’s first daughter, James, slightly ahead of schedule. “The baby came early but everyone is happy and healthy,” a source told Us at the time.
Reynolds later praised his spouse for her humor throughout the delivery. “My wife is the real, I mean she is a mercenary,” he told Conan O’Brien in August 2015. “At one point in the middle of the delivery, the doctor’s cell phone went off and she said, ‘Oh, no. Go ahead, take a personal call. Feel free.’ She was cracking jokes in the delivery room.”
By April, Lively joked during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she and Reynolds had gone from lovers to adversaries as they began to fight over their daughter’s first word. “We’re total rivals, by the way. I hear ‘dada, dada,’ all the time, and then I walk in the room and he’s like, ‘mama,’" she said. "And I’m like, ’How dare you do that?’”
One month later, they gave the world its first glimpse of their little girl with an Instagram photo of James holding her “dada’s” hand.
Us confirmed that the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star was pregnant again after she was spotted on set for The Shallows in a wetsuit that showed off her growing baby bump.
Just days prior, Reynolds made a crack about the couple’s sex life while accepting his award for Best Comedic Performance in Deadpool at the 2016 MTV Movie Awards. “I want to thank my wife, Blake. Everything I do is to make her laugh, especially the sex!” he joked.
Lively gushed about her significant other to Marie Claire in July 2016. “I knew he would always be my best friend for my whole life,” she told the magazine at the time. “That was the biggest thing for me. I’d never known anything like the friendship that I had with him. I could like him as much as I loved him.”
The duo welcomed a second daughter, Inez. A source told Us at the time that their visitors to the hospital included Lively’s sister, Robyn, as well as close pal Taylor Swift.
Lively, Reynolds and their two daughters made their debut as a family of four in December 2016 to celebrate the Golden Globe nominee’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “Proud is a pitiful word to describe how I felt today,” Lively captioned an Instagram photo from the event. “@vancityreynolds The permanence of your impact is undeniable …Always has been, but now we have a fancy [star] to show for it.”
Reynolds opened up about how he knew his wife was “the one” to GQ one month prior. “Probably after the sex,” he teased, adding, “No, we were hanging out at this little restaurant in Tribeca that’s open really late, and this song came on and I was just like, ‘Want to dance?’ No one was in there, so it was just totally empty. And it was just one of those moments where halfway through the dance, it was like, ‘Oh, I think I just crossed a line.’”
By January, the twosome were back to glamming it up for the cameras, hitting the 2017 Golden Globes together in their red carpet finest — a black and gold Atelier Versace halter gown for Lively and a crisp black suit with a white undershirt for Reynolds.
That same month, the producer opened up about how his love had helped him navigate Deadpool fandom. “By the time we were in post[-production], we’d been to Comic-Con, and people went crazy for it. The expectations were eating me alive. Blake helped me through that. I’m lucky to have her around just to keep me sane,” he told Variety.
The couple returned to the scene of their first red carpet — the Met Gala — in 2017. Lively opted for a gold Atelier Versace gown with blue feathers, while her man coordinated in a blue tux and tie.
Ever the wise guy, Reynolds had the perfect response to reports of marriage trouble between the pair: “I wish. I could use a little ’me time,’” he tweeted.
Reynolds told Mr. Porter magazine in May 2018 that he credited his significant other with helping him to mend his relationship with father James “Jim” Reynolds ahead of his death (Jim lost a long-fought battle with Parkinson’s disease in 2015). “She has a gift for foresight,” he said at the time.
He shared a similar sentiment while commenting on an Instagram photo from Humans of New York in May 2017: “She always responds with empathy,” he wrote of his wife. “She meets anger with empathy. She meets hate with empathy. She’ll take the time to imagine what happened to a person when they were five or six years old. And she’s made me a more empathetic person. I had a very fractured relationship with my father. Before he died, she made me remember things I didn’t want to remember. She made me remember the good times."
Lively joked about getting it on with her husband’s Detective Pikachu character, Pikachu. “Is it wrong to say I’d tap that?” she captioned a mock audition video he posted on Instagram on April 10, 2019.
Us exclusively revealed that Reynolds and Lively welcomed their third child together over the summer. A source told Us in October that the baby was “about 2 months old.”
The A Simple Favor actress debuted her baby bump in a yellow dress at the Pokémon Pikachu Detective premiere in NYC, revealing for the first time that she and Reynolds are expecting their third little one.
Lively poked fun at her husband’s hair getting a little shaggy amid the coronavirus pandemic, after he revealed he had a mini ponytail at the back of his neck. “I dare you to forget this every time you see him for the rest of eternity,” the California native wrote via her Instagram Story in April, to which Reynolds replied, “Clearly your birth control doesn’t work, so…”
The Shallows star joked that she conceived baby No. 4 after watching a clip from her love’s 2010 movie Buried, which became available on Hulu in July 2020. In the clip, the Canadian actor drinks from a flask with “Aviation Gin” written on it and guzzles it down before a light shows even more gin next to him. “10 years later, it really holds up! Although I don’t recall the aggressive product placement. #Buried,” Reynolds wrote via Instagram.
Lively was quick to comment, writing, “I think this just got me pregnant,” to which the father of three replied, “@blakelively I will be out of the office starting July 22nd throughout the middle or forever and ever. If you need immediate assistance during my absence, please contact someone. Anyone. Otherwise I will respond to your message as soon as possible upon my unlikely return. Thank you.”
Swift sparked speculation that Lively and Reynolds named their third child Betty after her song, “Betty” dropped in July 2020. In the track, the artist references the couple’s oldest daughters James and Inez in addition to Betty. A month later, Swift confirmed in a radio interview that she “named all the characters in this story after my friends’ kids” and added, “I hope you like it!”
The Age of Adaline actress celebrated her 33rd birthday on August 25, and detailed her food-filled day via her Instagram Stories. In addition to a homemade McDonald’s Egg McMuffin breakfast, the mother of three enjoyed gelato and a cake presented to the birthday girl by Reynolds — and his massive biceps. “Happy birthday to me,” Lively quipped, sharing a series of photos of her husband’s biceps getting closer and closer.
“I love being a girl dad,” Reynolds told Access. “I have three daughters, which I never in a million years would have imagined.” The Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place alum noted that he and Lively try to be “as present as possible” while raising their girls.
“We don’t split up like I shoot movies and my wife shoots movies and we go travel all over the place and we just all go together,” he explained. “I think that’s been the best part of it is that we really don’t spend a lot of time apart. I get to spend a lot of time with my girls.”
The couple attended a New York Yankees game without their little ones, which they documented on social media. Both actors received new baseball caps that were signed by outfielder Clint Frazier while at the stadium. “Mom&Dad Girl Summer,” Lively wrote via Instagram alongside a series of photos from the night out. “Thanks @clintfrazierr for being my personal stylist. This hat is a vast improvement from the 💩 I showed up in. After 14 years in NY, I think tonight made me an official Yankee...⚾️🍎.”
Reynolds showed his wife support via social media after news broke of her dad, Ernie Lively’s death. The Shallows star posted a photo with her late father, who was 74 when he died, via her Instagram Story on June 10, with a gold heart emoji. The Aviation Gin cofounder reposted the photo in honor of their loss.
The 6 Underground actor gave fans insight into the early days of his romance with Lively during an appearance on the “SmartLess” podcast. “We were friends and buddies, and about a year and a half later, we actually went out on a double date. But we were dating separate people,” Reynolds explained. “We hung out and we always kind of kept in touch sort of casually and, next thing you know, she was going to Boston. I was going to Boston and I said, ‘I’ll ride with you.’ … I was just begging her to sleep with me.”
The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard star called their relationship something “out of a fairy tale,” noting things moved quickly between them. “A week later I was like, ‘We should buy a house together.’ And we did,” he continued. “We’ve been together almost 10 years. That’s, like, 45 years in Hollywood terms.”
The twosome celebrated the 10th anniversary of their first date by returning to their favorite restaurant, O Ya in Boston. “10 years later. We still go out on our ‘first date.’ But in much more comfortable shoes,” Lively wrote via her Instagram Story.
She added: “If it weren’t for this place. We wouldn’t be together. No joke. No restaurant means more.”
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Reynolds and Lively walked the red carpet together for the first time in two years at the New York premiere of his film Free Guy. He gushed to Entertainment Tonight at the time about the key to their marriage. “Well, we like each other,” he remarked with a smile. “Which is a good foundation of any relationship.”
The actor thanked his wife for her support after the release of his action film, Free Guy, which earned a sequel just days after hitting theaters in August 2021. “Free Guy wouldn’t be the movie it is without @blakelively,” he wrote via his Instagram Story. “She was essential in every part of the making of this film, creatively and emotionally, and the cameo everyone is talking about was entirely her idea. #WorkWife”
When Reynolds announced that he would be taking "a little sabbatical from movie making" after wrapping the film Spirited, his wife couldn't resist jumping into his Instagram comments section for a little teasing. "Michael Caine did it first," she joked.
Reynolds gushed over Lively while accepting a trophy at WSJ. Magazine's Innovator Awards, held in New York City. "I want to thank my wife, Blake," he said during his speech. "She is a genius. She's a renaissance woman. And she pushes me in ways I never imagined I'd be pushed."
The jokesters shared a snap from their hiking date, but Reynolds cut out most of Lively's face. "I recommend a walk in the woods," the Red Notice star captioned the Instagram Story.
Though Lively was barely in the frame, with only one eye showing, the Deadpool actor pointed out that he left her "earrings in frame."
The Betty Buzz founder reposted the snap to her own Story. "The best Guy," she captioned the snap and added a gif of Princess Anna from Frozen looking very excited. She made him repost an image in August when he cropped out her stylish accessories.
"We don’t take each other too seriously, but we're also friends," the Red Notice star told Entertainment Tonight of his secret to a successful marriage. "Falling in love is great, but do you like each other? That's kinda the question you gotta ask yourself, you know, going into it. We've always liked each other. We grow together. We learn from each other. So yeah, I'm lucky to have a buddy in that."
During an appearance on The Tonight Show, Reynolds pretended to be flustered when host Jimmy Fallon asked how Lively and the kids are doing. "You know, they're all good. Blake's — no personal questions, by the way. But Blake is great. The sex is totally normal," he said. "Hey, hey, hey! Pump the sex brakes, Jimmy. I asked no personal questions, and you're going right in on it, all right? Barbara Walters, easy."
Lively showed her support for Reynolds via social media after the release of his Pelton ad. "My uterus is exploding :) @vancityreynolds may you always dream big,” she wrote via Instagram while sharing a clip of the new commercial.
In the video, Reynolds clarified that the exercise bike is very good for one’s health despite the fact that Chris Noth’s character on the Sex and the City spinoff, And Just Like That, died on the show after taking a ride on the bike. Noth appeared in the commercial — alive — and playfully joked about Mr. Big’s demise.
"To my mister, who always goes BIG or goes home. I love you so much,” Lively wrote in a message to Reynolds on a box of Magnolia Bakery treats in celebration of the successful ad. “But not as much as Peloton loves you. Xo Serena Bradshaw."
The couple got cozy at the New York City premiere of Reynolds' movie The Adam Project, sharing a kiss before the actor walked the red carpet, per an eyewitness. Lively greeted guests and chatted with friends, and the twosome later joined Reynolds' costars at an afterparty to celebrate.
The couple, who served as co-chairs at the 2022 Met Gala, couldn’t stop smiling as they walked the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Lively, for her part, stunned in an Atelier Versace gown inspired by New York City while Reynolds sported a traditional tuxedo.
Reynolds revealed during season 4 of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman that he follows his wife’s lead when it comes to parenting. “Blake runs the show,” he explained. “I would kind of really phone things in if it wasn’t for her. [She has] higher standards.”
The Aviation Gin founder joked that he would “never” let Lively “go visit her family” out of town and get stuck with all three kids. “If I was just with the girls, I think I would find it pretty exciting at first,” he confessed. “And then there would be — with three girls [it’s a lot]. So, that division of labor is very important.”
The Gossip Girl alum admitted that she once borrowed Reynolds’ clothes for a photo shoot. For the first ad for her Betty Buzz mixers, Lively told Vogue that she raided her husband’s closet and “put on his favorite coat … and his jeans and T-shirt.” She even posed in the “same chair” and “same spot” that the Deadpool star used for his Aviation Gin ads.
The couple attended Taylor Swift's panel at Tribeca Talks for All Too Well: The Short Film in New York City. They watched their pal and stars Dylan O'Brien and Sadie Sink discuss the project.
Reynolds and Lively share "this unbreakable bond as a couple," a source told Us exclusively. The two actors are "still head over heels for each other" as they approach their 10-year wedding anniversary. "They're very secure in their relationship and committed to each other for life," the insider said.
"I remember seeing Blake and saying, ‘I have bad news and I have really bad news. The bad news is I slipped into someone's DMs again. The really bad news is that I might have bought half of a fifth-tier national football league in Wales," the actor recalled of telling his wife about his newfound friendship with Rob McElhenney during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
At the time, Reynolds joked about Lively's reaction, adding, "[It was] not good. Not great, we're still working through that one."
The Adam Project star took to Instagram to celebrate his wife turning another year older.
“Happy Birthday, @blakelively. You’re spectacular. I’m not sure if you were born or invented. Also, thank you for urging me to leave the house every now and again," he wrote via Instagram alongside a carousel of pictures of the couple.
“Wow, that's so cool,” Lively gushed during a FaceTime cameo during the September 22 episode of Hulu’s Welcome to Wrexham as Reynolds steps on the soccer field for the first time after purchasing the team.
Lively, who appeared on the show along with her daughters by voice only, then received a quick tour from her husband.
“It's so amazing. Seeing this place is literally emotional 'cause I've watched it so much on the video feed and to be here and standing on the turf … just, Oh my god,” the Deadpool star gushed over the Welsh stadium.
“They are really more united and supportive of each other than ever,” an insider exclusively told Us of the couple ahead of welcoming baby No. 4, noting that Just Friends actor “has become better than ever at managing his time and schedule.”
Per the source, the businesswoman and soccer club co-owner have been working toward finding a good work-life balance that suits their growing family. "When they got together, they always planned to have a lot of kids,” the insider said, noting, “The key going into this pregnancy has been their loose family rule that neither of them would ever work at the same time while their kids are little.”
While the pair are committed to their family at this time, they are also pursuing a variety of projects, one of which is another Deadpool movie. “Blake has been a big supporter of those movies since Ryan made the first one almost seven years ago,” the source explained, adding that another film in the superhero is Reynolds’ “priority” business-wise. “Deadpool is a family project for them and the family will all go to wherever Ryan is shooting that one in 2023.”
The twosome cheered on Reynolds’ Wrexham AFC soccer team during the October 12 episode of Welcome to Wrexham. “For me and my family, watching this up there was f—king crazy,” the Deadpool 3 star gushed in a confessional.
Lively presented Reynolds with the 36th American Cinematheque Award at the 2022 ceremony, as she listed off his greatest attributes.
“With his art, his heart, his philanthropy, his humor, his integrity, his unmatched work ethic, his self-deprecating levity, his hard-earned depths and his grace, so many of those stunning qualities come from his homeland, Canada, and giving back to the country that gave him his livelihood,” she said in a moving speech. “He had to check into his home base, it was essential to keeping him grounded, to keeping him sane, to keeping him him. And now, I am his home and our girls are his home, and just like that 19-year-old boy, he races home.”
The Spirited actor gave his followers a glimpse of his dance rehearsals with Will Ferrell for the holiday movie — and Lively loved every second. "Can you get pregnant while pregnant??" she teased in the comments section.
“Blake is feeling excited, there’s not long to go now,” an insider exclusively told Us of Lively’s pregnancy progress. “She and Ryan can’t wait to meet their new baby.”
The California native has “plenty of energy and is getting out and about plenty,” the source explained, noting, “Ryan has been really sweet, he’s there to help whenever needed and is being super hands-on with the other kids but she’s really very self-sufficient and hasn’t had any real issues getting things done.”
The actor dedicated his People's Icon trophy to his wife and family in a heartfelt speech at the 2022 People's Choice Awards. "Wow, I feel like I'm at my funeral — except I get to leave," he quipped on stage.
On a more serious note, Reynolds said: "It starts with family and ends with my family. ... I gotta thank my [wife], Blake. Blake and my three daughters. It's going to be a fourth child very soon. ... You're my heart, you're my hope, you're my happiness. I joke my family exhausts me, but in reality, you give me more strength than any man could possibly deserve."
The couple confirmed that Lively welcomed her and Reynolds’ fourth child sometime before Super Bowl LVII. A source exclusively told Us that the couple “couldn’t be more thrilled” as they settled in with their newborn, noting that their three girls were happy to have a new sibling.
“Blake and Ryan knew this would be quite a transition growing their family to six now, but they’re all adjusting wonderfully,” the insider shared at the time. “It’s a very happy time for all of them.”
The Deadpool star gave an update on his growing brood shortly after Lively gave birth to the couple’s fourth child.
"We're very excited. Look, we wouldn't do this four times if we didn't love it," Reynolds said on CNBC's Power Lunch. "Everybody's doing great. Everybody's actually doing fantastic. If we hadn't figured it out by now, I think we'd be in deep, deep trouble."
The Just Friends actor joked that it was a “zoo” at home during his virtual appearance on the show, adding, “This is my office here. To be honest, I'll probably spend the rest of my life in here."
Reynolds brought his wife and their family to watch his team, Wrexham, take on the York City club. The couple went down to the field and took a selfie, which the Red Notice star shared alongside in a series of pics celebrating the victory.
“Two unbelievable days of Wrexham football. Nearly 20,000 people passed through the gates of the Racecourse Ground. @wrexham_afc won — but the main event was @wrexhamafcwomen winning it all and hoisting the big shiny trophy,” he penned. “These women played their guts out and @robmcelhenney and I couldn’t be prouder or more choked up.”
Lively and Reynolds stepped out to attend the premiere of It Ends With Us. The actress was spotted playfully grabbing Reynolds’ butt as they walked the red carpet in New York City.
Lively and Reynolds were spotted having a double date with Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in New York City. Later that month, the couple attended Swift’s Eras Tour concert for two nights in New Orleans and were seen dancing to “Look What You Made Me Do.”
Lively and Reynolds walked the red carpet at the SNL 50: The Anniversary Special in New York City. The appearance marked the couple’s first since her ongoing legal drama with It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni began in December 2024.

Everyone needs a good cry from time to time, and several romance movies will do just the trick.
Some of the most tear-jerking films in recent years have one thing in common. The Notebook, Dear John, The Last Song and A Walk to Remember, to name a few, are all adaptations of Nicholas Sparks books. While Sparks has a talent for making readers and viewers cry, he is a much tougher nut to crack.
“It is tough to make me cry,” the author told The Charlotte Observer in February 2013. He went on to note, “By the time I get to see the film, look, I’ve seen dailies, I’ve seen the script, there’s no surprise, I don’t get that magical feeling of discovering a story. Plus, I wrote the story in the first place.”
While Sparks doesn’t get emotional revisiting his old work, he enjoys seeing others connect to his stories. “Apologies for making you cry for decades!” he jokingly wrote via Facebook in April 2024. “I can’t believe it’s been 30 years since I wrote #TheNotebook! I wrote the ending first, and once I knew I could make that work, I wrote the reunion, the prologue and then the rest of the novel.”
At the time, he noted that the Broadway musical adaptation of his 1996 novel and the 2004 film version handed out “special tissues” for emotional theatergoers.

‘The Notebook’
Cover Images
The 2004 adaptation of Sparks’ novel of the same name ensured that romantics everywhere gained a newfound appreciation for making out in the rain. As World War II–era star-crossed lovers, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams offer emotional performances, which may have been helped by the fact that their real-life relationship was fiery from the start: Gosling tried to order McAdams off the set, but the two began dating after the shoot was finished, ultimately parting ways in 2007.
‘Titanic’
Cover Images
Our hearts could not go on after watching this 1997 heartbreaker about Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet), who fall in love while aboard the doomed ship. Of course, they didn’t make it in the long run since that wooden panel would only support the weight of one person when the ship went down (though the show Mythbusters disagrees with this logic). The real-life actors remain friends, however, and costarred again in 2008’s Revolutionary Road.
‘Dear John’
Cover Images
Sparks can always be relied upon for inspiring a cathartic sob session. This adaptation of his 2006 novel of the same name follows John (Channing Tatum) and Savannah (Amanda Seyfried), a couple who keep their love alive through letters while John serves in the military post–9/11. She ends up dumping him in one of her notes — harsh — but as with any good romance, that’s not the end of the story.
‘Love Story’
Cover Images
If you haven’t heard of it, ask your mom about this 1970 film. No doubt she can rattle off the famous tagline: “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” Oliver (Ryan O’Neal) and Jennifer (Ali MacGraw) meet as students at Harvard University and Radcliffe College, respectively. Once they marry and try to conceive, they discover the tragic reason why they can’t have kids. We won’t spoil it for you — just grab the tissues and prepare to bawl.
‘Ghost’
Cover Images
Everyone knows the famous pottery wheel scene that’s been spoofed a million times over, but this 1990 film about a woman (Demi Moore) who’s followed by the poltergeist of her murdered lover (Patrick Swayze) is an especially devastating meditation on grieving. Just check out the scene where the ghost, via a medium played by Whoopi Goldberg, offers his love a penny for good luck.
‘Brokeback Mountain’
Cover Images
The tender performances of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, who play two cowboys fighting their love for each other in the conservative 1960s and ’70s Midwest, earned both actors Oscar nominations (Ledger for best actor and Gyllenhaal for best supporting actor) in 2006.
‘The Way We Were’
Cover Images
Opposites attract, but can they make it work long-term? That’s the dilemma for strident political activist Katie (Barbra Streisand) and charming, lackadaisical screenwriter Hubbell (Robert Redford) in this 1973 drama. Though initially drawn to each other’s differences, the couple’s dynamic threatens to tear them apart as they marry and have a daughter. In the end, all that’s left is Streisand’s title song, which many a brokenhearted soul has bawled over.
‘The Last Song’
Touchstone Pictures and Offspring Entertainment
While the love story of this Sparks book-to-movie adaptation centers around Miley Cyrus’ Veronica “Ronnie” Miller and Liam Hemsworth’s Will Blakelee, the emotional center of the film lies with Ronnie’s relationship with her father, Steve (Greg Kinnear). Ronnie falls for Will while spending the summer in Georgia with her dad, who she doesn’t know is secretly battling cancer (bet you can guess what happens next).
‘A Star Is Born’
Cover Images
There have been several versions of A Star Is Born over the years, but none have such an emotional punch as the 2018 version starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. After musician Jackson Maine (Cooper) falls in love with aspiring singer-songwriter Ally Campana (Gaga), the pair’s relationship faces ups and downs as Ally’s star begins to rise. On top of it all, Jack is forced to deal with his own internal demons, which ultimately lead to a tragic end for the couple.
‘A Walk to Remember’
Warner Bros.
In one of the most famous Sparks adaptations, popular guy in school Landon Carter (Shane West) catches feelings for the quiet and conservative Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) while being forced to participate in their high school play — going against Jamie’s request for him not to fall in love with her. Landon eventually comes to learn the reason behind Jamie’s rule, as she reveals that she has leukemia. The 2002 movie follows the couple’s romance as Landon vows to stay by Jamie’s side until the end.
Several romantic movies have continued to pull on fans’ heartstrings — and not just on Valentine’s Day.
The Notebook, for example, has become a classic watch for those looking to shed a happy tear. The 2004 movie adaptation of the beloved Nicholas Sparks novel follows the love story of Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams) from their first meeting in the 1940s to their final days together.
While the movie turned Gosling into a Hollywood heartthrob, the actor previously revealed he wasn’t cast with that status in mind. “[Director Nick Cassavetes] straight up told me, ‘The fact that you have no natural leading man qualities is why I want you to be my leading man,’” Gosling revealed in a May 2023 interview with GQ.
The film quickly became known for its iconic rain kiss scene. According to McAdams, however, the scene wasn’t as glamorous to shoot as it looked on screen. “It didn’t rain when we needed it to,” she told Good Morning America in April 2024. “They had to pump rain from the bottom of the lake through fire hoses and then pelt us with it.”

“We never talked about marriage when we were dating, and I asked her out of the blue,” George told CBS in November 2020. “[It] took her a long time to say yes. I was on my knee for, like, 20 minutes. I finally said, ‘Look, I’m gonna throw my hip out.’ We told that story to her parents, and they’re like, ‘There’s something wrong with his hip?’”
The pair first met while in Lake Como, Italy, in 2013. Later that year, they had their first date in London. The two got married in a fantasy wedding at the Aman Canal Grande Hotel in Venice, Italy, in September 2014.
While the couple didn’t initially plan to start a family, Us Weekly confirmed in February 2017 that they were expecting. The pair welcomed their twins, Alexander and Ella, in June 2017.
Scroll to see how George and Amal’s love has bloomed over the years:
Us confirmed that the pair were engaged after they were spotted dining together at Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood and “toasting their engagement.”
Amal made one of her first official appearances with love George at the Celebrity Fight Night Gala in Florence, Italy. The two got engaged a few months prior, shocking fans of the famed bachelor.
George and Amal exchanged vows in a swanky ceremony at Aman Canal Grande. She wore a dream gown by Oscar de la Renta, while he sported a tux by Armani.
The excitement continued when the twosome stepped out together in Venice, Italy, boarding a boat one day after they tied the knot. Standing in the sunshine, they waved to fans and revelers as Mr. and Mrs. Clooney.
The newlyweds wrapped their whirlwind trip as a stunning married couple. They looked classically beautiful in their late summer duds, grinning after their big celebration.
The Clooneys snuck in a smooch in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico after celebrating New Year's Eve in the vacation destination. They rung in 2015 alongside good pals Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.
Amal made her awards show debut at the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif. She attended the celebratory affair at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on George's arm.
Mr. and Mrs. Clooney were the picture-perfect pair at the 100 LIVES initiative's event to launch the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity in New York City, showing their charitable sides.
Amal walked the red carpet in a stunning gown outside of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. She attended the Costume Institute Gala Benefit on the arm of George, who turned heads in a well-cut tuxedo.
The couple stopped by George's annual family reunion in Augusta, Kentucky, where they even made a trip to the actor's beloved local bakery, Magee's, for some sweets. “They were fun as a couple!” co-owner Russell Dickson told Us at the time.
The human rights lawyer giggled adorably and showed off her enviable gams in a blue floral-printed frock during a brief summer getaway in Lake Como, Italy. George matched Amal in a pale blue suit and white button-down shirt.
George and his wife attended a Casamigos Tequila bash at the Ushuaia Beach Hotel in Ibiza, Spain, where they snuggled adorably. "George and Amal were very affectionate throughout the trip," an observer told Us at the time. "They were dancing and mingling with friends, but they managed to never stray too far from one another. They were always holding hands."
George shared the secret to his marriage with Extra. “FaceTime, we’ll do that. Mostly it’s just try not to go very long. … We spend an awful lot of time together,” he explained. “We try not to have these huge gaps.”
George gave his wife a kiss on the cheek at the Money Monster premiere during the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival in France. After celebrating their two-year wedding anniversary in September 2016, he quipped to Entertainment Tonight: “And they said it wouldn’t last. Ah, we proved them wrong!” and revealing that to celebrate “I [made] dinner and we had a very nice, a very romantic second anniversary.”
Amal looked stunning at a screening of The White Helmets hosted by the Clooney Foundation For Justice in London, England. The event marked one of the first events where the pregnant lawyer showed off a hint of a bump.
The pair welcomed a baby boy and a baby girl in June 2017. “This morning Amal and George welcomed Ella and Alexander Clooney into their lives. Ella, Alexander and Amal are all healthy, happy and doing fine,” his rep told Us in a statement. “George is sedated and should recover in a few days.”
George and Amal held hands after playing tennis together in Laglio, Italy. The couple looked sporty for the match, with the Oscar winner wearing a polo shirt and gym shorts, and the human rights attorney rocking a tank top and a matching skirt.
The proud parents returned to the red carpet for the first time since their twins’ births to attend the Venice Film Festival. Amal stunned in a lilac gown, while George wore a classic black tux.
The Oscar winner raved about his wife during an appearance on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. “I have to say, before I had the twins, I felt that about her. I felt that I had met someone who I would absolutely, you know, trade my life for,” he gushed. “I met someone who her life meant more to me than my life. And I’d never had that experience before.”
The duo were just two of the famous faces in attendance at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding at Windsor Castle. Amal dressed in a bright yellow sheath and matching fascinator. George, for his part, looked dapper in a gray suit.
The twosome were spotted enjoying a double date with Barack and Michelle Obama in Italy. The couples took a boat ride on Lake Como as they were rumored to be en route to a charity dinner for The Clooney Foundation for Justice.
George and Amal celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary with close pals Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. The group of four grabbed dinner at 4 Charles Prime Rib in NYC.
The Suburbicon director supported Amal at the American Society of International Law’s gala in NYC, where she was honored for work as a human rights advocate.
In his GQ Icon of the Year profile, George credited his wife with changing his views about settling down. “I was like, ‘I’m never getting married. I’m not gonna have kids.’ … And then everything changed,” he recalled. “I’d never been in the position where someone else’s life was infinitely more important to me than my own. You know? And then tack on two more individuals, who are small and have to be fed.”
The actor turned 60 on May 6, 2021. One week before his birthday, a source told Us that the couple’s marriage was “very solid,” noting that George feels “happy and blessed” with his wife.
“He doubted for so long that he’d get to meet that soulmate he always dreamed of … but when Amal came along, everything changed,” the insider added. “It’s no exaggeration to say she swept him off his feet.”
The director saved his wife from a wardrobe malfunction at the premiere of his film Tender Bar. When Amal nearly tripped over her custom 16Arlington sequin dress, George jumped into action to help steady her. The pair then continued their walk down the red carpet as if nothing had happened.
“Marriage has been wonderful. I have in my husband a partner who is incredibly inspirational and supportive, and we have a home filled with love and laughter,” Amal gushed via her Time magazine’s “Women of the Year” profile in March 2022. “It is a joy beyond anything I could ever have imagined. I feel so lucky to have found a great love in my life, and to be a mother — this is how I get my balance.”
The lovebirds emulated Old Hollywood glamour at the London premiere of Ticket to Paradise, George's romantic comedy with longtime friend and Oceans franchise costar Julia Roberts.
The Tender Bar director donned a midnight blue suit with a casual white button down while Amal rocked a light blue beaded sheath with thin straps and art deco-style patterning. The human rights lawyer paired the simple yet stunning look with red lipstick and minimal jewelry.
The twosome dished about what keeps the romance alive while celebrating their eighth wedding anniversary. “It does start with love,” George told CBS Mornings. “That’s sort of the whole secret to it. It’s just been easy. Like the easiest thing we have done in our lives thus far. We've never had an argument." Amal, for her part, noted that while it’s “99 percent luck just to meet the right person,” it’s important to be “open” and “not cynical” when it comes to love. “I was surprised that you were not cynical or guarded at all and things just moved very quickly,” she told her husband, adding that their copasetic relationship is “madness to some of their friends."
“It was a disaster, I planned it out, I planned the whole thing out,” the Ticket to Paradise star recalled during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. “I’ve got the ring in a little drawer behind her, I’ve made dinner and we had only been dating for about six months.”
George had planned to present Amal with her engagement ring as the song “Why Shouldn’t I,” by his late aunt Rosemary Clooney played in the background. “I got the ring in the drawer and the song starts and I told her there was a lighter can you get it — we had a candle on but I blew it out so she could get the lighter,” he said. “She sees the ring in the drawer and pulls it out. She says, ‘There's a ring there,’ like somebody left a ring there years earlier.”
While Amal was puzzled over the diamond, George was waiting on his knee as Rosemary’s song had concluded. “I literally said, 'Listen, I really would like to marry you but I also am not young, and I've been on my knee now and I could like lose a hip,’” he quipped.
The couple walked the red carpet at the Kennedy Center Honors Formal Artist's Dinner in Washington, D.C. In one sweet moment, George fixed Amal’s red Valentino gown train as they posed for photos. The actor was honored at the ceremony for his lifetime achievements the following day.
The couple looked fabulous in dark ensembles at the Boys In the Boat premiere in London. Amal showed off her figure in a flowy crop top and fitted skirt while George rocked a classy suit.
George couldn’t keep his eyes off his wife as they walked the red carpet at their foundation’s third annual Albie Awards. The evening also marked their 10-year anniversary (at midnight). “I have some presents ready to be unveiled at midnight,” Amal told Entertainment Tonight of her husband’s romantic gestures.
“I have a surprise. She doesn’t know what it’s going to be yet,” George teased. “We’re going somewhere.”
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s romance has endured plenty of ups and downs over the years — but they’ve weathered the storms together.
The couple, who went public with their relationship in January 2007, briefly split in February 2011. They reconnected in July of that year and tied the knot in October 2012.
Us Weekly broke the news in November 2014 that the 7th Heaven alum and former ‘NSync singer were expecting their first child together. In April 2015, the duo welcomed their son Silas and second son Phineas followed five years later.
The pair’s relationship was tested in November 2019 when photos surfaced of Timberlake holding hands with his Palmer costar Alisha Wainwright. The musician publicly apologized for a “strong lapse in judgment” and privately worked to make it up to Biel.
“He’s bending over backwards to get Jessica to forgive him,” a source exclusively told Us in February 2020. “And to make sure he’s there for her.”
Scroll down to relive Timberlake and Biel’s ups and downs over the years.
Timberlake and Biel first took their relationship public in January 2007, shortly after the singer split from actress Cameron Diaz. "She's the perfect girl for him," a Timberlake pal told Us after the two first began dating. "It grew from friendship to full-on romance. Now they're serious and monogamous."
Amidst split rumors, the two went on a PDA parade at the L.A. Lakers home game. After Dustin Hoffman made the crowd go wild by smooching his wife on the Lakers' Kiss Me Cam, Timberlake had to outdo the actor: "So I mounted my girlfriend in front of 18,000 people."
One month later, the hot Hollywood couple attended the Met Costume Institute Gala in NYC. "I just love it!" Biel told Us of her red-hot Versace gown. Timberlake looked handsome in a William Rast tux.
Several months earlier, the lovebirds relocated to a new loft in NYC's Tribeca neighborhood. "The apartment is great. He is loving it," his mom, Lynn Harless, told Us.
Hours before seeing the Broadway show In the Heights, the pair strolled in NYC's West Village. "Jessica loves how funny he is," a source once told Us. "Plus, let's face it: Justin is gorgeous."
According to a Timberlake insider, the singer toned down his partying to appease his actress girlfriend. "They're supporting each other, and he hasn't been hitting the clubs; he's on good behavior."
As rumors swirled that Timberlake cheated on Biel with Perfect Couples actress Olivia Munn, the pair put on a united front at the 5th Anniversary of Glamour Reel Moments event in L.A.
One month after cuddling at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in West Hollywood, their reps confirmed their split to Us. "They mutually have decided to part ways. The two remain friends and continue to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other."
Us exclusively confirmed in July 2011 that the couple were giving their relationship another try. "Jessica really wanted to get back together with him and Justin realized single life is not what it's cracked up to be," an insider told Us.

A smooch in the stands! Biel snuggled up to her beau as the pair attended a match between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at the U.S. Open in NYC. "It's nice to marry your best friend. It suits me," Timberlake told Ellen DeGeneres a few months earlier in April.
The duo stepped out for the premiere of Timberlake's film Runner Runner at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. "I have the best wife in the world. She's been great this week," the singer told DeGeneres that month while promoting the project. He added that his beautiful wife gives him "a lot of sympathy" when he's sick.
Timberlake and Biel attended the GQ Men of the Year dinner in NYC one month after celebrating their first wedding anniversary. In November, the striking brunette also addressed why she didn't attend the American Music Awards with her leading man. "I'm watching from home tonight," she tweeted on Nov. 24. "Calm down, Internet."
Hanky-panky! The Blunderer actress couldn't keep her hands off the "Mirror" singer following her birthday trip to Barbados. "Justin wasn't very good at wakeboarding. Jessica was much better!" an onlooker told Us. "They looked madly in love as they joked around."
Timberlake shared a rare photo of the pair while spending time in New Zealand. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it," he captioned, quoting the 1986 classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The following month, Us broke news that the couple were expecting their first child.
Making it official! Proud future dad Timberlake planted a giant kiss on Biel’s growing baby bump on his birthday. Prior to the Instagram photo, the couple hadn’t publicly acknowledged the actress’ first pregnancy. “Thank you EVERYONE for the Bday wishes!” the “Suit & Tie” singer captioned the pic. “This year, I'm getting the GREATEST GIFT EVER. CAN'T WAIT.#BoyOrGirl #YouNeverKnow #WeDontEvenKnow#WeAreTakingBets.”
Biel gushed about her husband on Good Morning America in September 2015, saying, “He supports everything that I do, and that’s, I think, why he’s a wonderful partner.” The following month, Timberlake returned the praise as he was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, calling Biel his rock. “Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write,” he added.
The couple collaborated on the film The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Biel executive-produced and starred in the drama, and she brought on Timberlake as a music composer. “I like to say that I was his boss,” she joked to Entertainment Tonight at the time.
TMI alert! When Extra’s Mario Lopez asked Timberlake if he and his wife were thinking about working on giving Silas a little brother or sister, the singer replied, “I’m having a lot of fun practicing.”
The “Say Something” singer honored the 7th Heaven alum with an Instagram post on Mother’s Day in 2017, writing, “I marvel at you. It’s so hard to put into words EVERYTHING a Mother does. And, you do it with such grace. Thank you for giving me the greatest gift and continuing to show him what it means to be a good person in the world.”
In a cover story for Marie Claire, the actress explained why her and Timberlake’s marriage works so well: “We have similar values; we believe in loyalty, honesty. We like to have fun. We like a lot of the same things. Also, in the business, we’re all very career-oriented, and you have to be a little selfish. I understand that about my peers — about being focused and driven — and if you can find that and someone who shares the same values as you, it’s like: Score!”
The couple seemed too infatuated with one another to pay much attention to the tennis court at the 2017 U.S. Open. They were photographed sharing laughs and smooches during a match.
The Grammy winner made his wife the leading lady in his “Man of the Woods” music video, which featured shots of the couple dancing in a barn and enjoying a romantic stroll.
A source exclusively told Us in July 2018 that Biel and Timberlake’s marriage was rock-solid. “Justin and Jessica are really in love, and their marriage is so strong right now,” the insider said. “Even with Silas, they still make their relationship with each other a major priority and have fun with each other.”
As they celebrated Biel’s 2018 Emmy nomination for her performance in The Sinner, the couple sent son Silas a special signal from the red carpet. “I’m just so proud to be here and see this happen for her,” Timberlake told E! News of his wife’s honor.
Biel commemorated Timberlake’s 38th birthday with an underwater throwback photo in January 2019. “Since the days of embarrassing pink ruffled bikinis and underwater photo shoots, you have been infusing my life with so much joy and laughter that I blame YOU for my smile lines,” the actress captioned the silly snap via Instagram. “But I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I wear them with pride knowing that I am the luckiest human around to have the honor of hearing your jokes, your words, your voice, every day of my life. Happy birthday to the man of my blue ocean dreams. I love you.”
On November 23, reports surfaced that the “Can’t Stop the Feeling” singer was spotted in New Orleans holding hands with his Palmer costar Alisha Wainwright. A source told Us exclusively that despite the pictures that surfaced, the two are “just friends.” The images caused fans to think Timberlake’s marriage to Biel was on rocky terrain since he didn’t appear to be wearing his wedding ring at the time.
A month after PDA-filled photos surfaced of Timberlake and his Palmer costar, the musician issued a public apology to his wife and his fans. “A few weeks ago, I displayed a strong lapse in judgment — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my costar,” Timberlake wrote in a statement posted on Instagram in December 2019. “I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son.”
The Grammy winner added: “I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that.”
The couple were spotted having dinner at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles in January 2020, two months after Timberlake’s PDA scandal. “Jessica and Justin kept to themselves and other restaurant-goers left them alone,” a source told Us at the time. “Justin had his attention focused on Jessica and after they had dinner they left together.” The pair enjoyed a staycation at the hotel with their son, a second source confirmed to Us.
The Sinner alum shared a sweet tribute to her husband on his 39th birthday. “Happy birthday to the most timeless man I know,” Biel wrote via Instagram. “You somehow grow up without growing old. We love you so much ❤️🎂.”
The couple attended the season 3 premiere of The Sinner in West Hollywood in February 2020. “They happily posed with their arms behind each other’s backs,” an eyewitness told Us of the event, noting Biel arrived solo but was later joined by Timberlake.
The “Sexy Back” crooner honored his love on Valentine’s Day. “Throwback to our first year together. It ain’t hard to tell from my face!!! When you know, you know,” Timberlake captioned an old photo of the pair on Instagram. “I love you, my funny Valentine. Every day the 14th!!! Happy Love Day, y’all!!” Biel shared a photo of her husband and her son on the holiday, captioning it, “My valentines.”
The Friends With Benefits actor threw his wife a pajama-themed party for her 38th birthday at their L.A. home amid the coronavirus pandemic. “Justin was dancing and making everyone laugh and doting on Jessica,” a source told Us in March 2020. “He really made the night all about making her happy.” The birthday girl thanked Timberlake for the bash on social media, writing, “Thank you, you wonderful human, for really listening to me, and for throwing my kinda party. And thank YOU ALL for the birthday wishes. Feeling the love.”
After a few rocky months, a source told Us that the family’s time quarantined together was a blessing in disguise. “Although the pandemic is very stressful, Jess is trying to look on the bright side of things and thinks the extra downtime that comes along with the situation is great for her and Justin’s relationship,” the insider said in April 2020. “They of course both have their moments of being irritated, but it has ultimately brought them closer and having the main focus be each other and [son] Silas has been a good thing.”
News broke in July 2020 that the couple secretly welcomed their second child. Singer Brian McKnight confirmed during an interview that the two recently “had a new baby.”
Timberlake confirmed during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that he and Biel welcomed son Phineas in 2020. He joked that the pair “don’t see each other anymore” after expanding their family. “It’s a lot of fun but I guess the saying goes, ‘Go from a zone defense to a man-to-man very quickly,’” he quipped. “‘You go get that one, I’ll get this one.’”
Timberlake shared a sweet tribute for Biel on her 39th birthday that included multiple photos of the couple through the years. “Happy Birthday to my favorite person in the world,” the singer wrote via Instagram. “The strongest, funniest, best, brightest and most beautiful mom/partner/BOSS there is. I’m lucky to learn from you and laugh with you and celebrate you every day. But, today we do it with 🎂!!!! Here’s to more slow-mos in the wind, jumping into bushes to save our kid’s toys, and timing out jump pics perfectly... I ❤️ U with all that I know.”
During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Biel joked about the difficulties of raising two children instead of one. “A very wise friend of mine said, ‘One is a lot. And two is a thousand,’” she said, adding that "nobody" was sleeping while son Phineas' teeth grew in. “That’s exactly the way it feels. You’re like, man-on-man defense, one person’s here, one person’s over there.”
Timberlake honored Silas and Phineas' mom with a sweet Instagram tribute on Mother's Day. "Moms are the strongest people on the planet," he wrote. "I am constantly in awe of the mothers in my life. Jess — you’re the heart of this family. Your boys look up to you and love you unconditionally. And so do I."In the same post, he thanked his own mother, Lynn Harless, for her support throughout the years. "And mom — your strength and support have taught me everything I know about being a parent," he continued. "I’m so grateful for your guidance and I hope I make you proud. Happy Mother’s Day to all the BADASS Moms out there! I bow down to you all!"
The Sinner actress shared a gushing tribute to her other half for Father’s Day. “Baby, you are the moon, the stars and the sour cream pound cake of my life,” Biel captioned an Instagram post. “You put a roof over our heads, and then fix it when the home made rocket goes terribly wrong. You put food on the table, so the baby can throw it under the table. You let us use the couch as an indoor trampoline even though we have one outside. You love the noise and the chaos of it all even though you’ve worked all night [and] are trying to sleep. We are grateful for you for all the big things and the things we don’t see. Thank you for making it so fun. We love you dearly.”
The couple had a Scrabble game night date on September 21. Both the “Mirrors” crooner and the 7th Heaven alum shared an Instagram snap of their spouse playing a round with matching “GAME ON” captions.
Biel marked Timberlake’s 41st birthday by posting a photo of the pair on the beach in neon outfits. “Happy birthday, '80s baby,” she wrote via Instagram.
Biel gushed over her husband and their kids in an Instagram post celebrating her 40th birthday. "Thinking of birthdays past and remembering all the amazing ones Justin and I spent solo," she wrote, sharing a throwback photo that showed her and Timberlake eating dessert sans kids. "Now celebrating 40 with 🎂 and 🎈 with my other two favorite guys on the planet. Love you family. Thanks for all the birthday love. 40 feels fresh y’all."
The Palmer actor paid tribute to his wife in his own Instagram post, writing: "Whether it's laid up on a couch, kicking my ass at the gym, or dressing up at ridiculous costume parties ... you make it all look good. I love you and I celebrate you every day."
Months before celebrating 10 years of marriage, Biel gushed over her relationship with the pop star. "I sometimes feel like 10 years has just flown by in the blink of an eye and other times I feel like, 'Oh, my gosh, 10 years, that's a really substantial amount of someone's life,'" she Access Hollywood. "I just feel really proud of it. ... We've had our ups and downs like everybody and I'm just really proud of it, and I'm still the happiest and loving my life."
Timberlake escorted his wife to the L.A. premiere of her series Candy. "I'll have to give Justin the credit in this moment, for this one thing that he always says to me: 'We might be married, but we have to keep dating,' and it's true," Biel told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, saying it felt "special" to have her man by her side. "You just have to keep making time for each other and you have to keep making each other a priority. And do the things that you love together."
“10 years ain’t enough! You make me a better husband and father every day,” Timberlake captioned an Instagram tribute to Biel to celebrate their wedding anniversary. “I love you so much you beautiful human! Run it back!”
The Candy actress, for her part, shared her own social media tribute, in which she confirmed the pair had secretly renewed their vows that summer.
Biel took to social media to celebrate her hubby turning 42.
"Happy birthday to the person who challenges and inspires me every day. The person who keeps me laughing and creating and risking it all," she wrote via Instagram alongside a carousel of images of the twosome enjoying a day on a boat. "The person who makes the ordinary extraordinary. You know who you are. I love you 🫶.”
"Let me tell y’all about this human … she is the most badass, most graceful, most gorgeous DREAM of a partner I could have ever wished for," Timberlake wrote via Instagram in celebration of Biel's 41st birthday. "And today is her bday! I’m so glad you were born, my love. And, I’m so lucky that you are choosing to do this thing called life with me. Aging like a FINE🍷!!!! I love you to the moon and back. —Huz."
“POV: Trying to get anything done the past 24 hours,” Biel wrote via TikTok alongside a video of her brushing her teeth, doing some casual yoga and lip-syncing to the camera while listening to Timberlake’s new song, “Selfish.” “ON 👏🏻 REPEAT 👏🏻@Justin Timberlake,” Biel captioned the video.

“Love at first sight isn’t limited to the first time you lay eyes on your person,” he wrote via Instagram. “You make me believe that because every time I look at you, I fall in love bigger and better than I ever could have imagined. Every day I get to share with you reminds me how lucky I am to experience love without limits or conditions. You make me laugh like a child and love with a fierceness that takes me aback.”
As Timberlake traveled the world for The Forget Tomorrow Tour, Biel made special appearances backstage to show her support.
“It’s a family affair y’all,” she wrote via Instagram with photos from life on the road.
While celebrating Father’s Day weekend, Biel took a moment to share just how great of a father Timberlake is.
“You’re so many things to so many people. But to us you are THE ROCK,” she wrote via Instagram. “The rock we climb on, we lean against. The rock that shades us from the sun. And when we recline on you, as we always do, hopefully our butts will keep you eternally grounded and warm. We LOVE YOU 🪨❤️.”
“Well, the moment that I saw the Aladdin Sane cover for the first time, I was 19 years old, and it just changed my perspective on everything, forever,” she said on NPR in 2016, shortly after her Grammys appearance. “It was an image that changed my life.”
She added: “That was just the beginning of my artistic birth. I started to dress more expressively. I started to go to the library and look through more art books. I took an art history class. I was playing with a band.”
Another star who isn’t afraid to be the talk of the night is Doja Cat, who covered herself in tattoos at the 2024 Grammys. The rapper added even more funk to her look with super arched razor thin brows and a bold red lip.

Arthur Golden’s 1997 book, Memoirs of a Geisha, inspired this look on the pop star, who scooped up three awards at the show, including Best Pop Album for Ray of Light.
“This is all my hair,” she joked of her wig. “At night, if I press a certain button, my hair grow up. I press another button, it activates the color in it.”
Nominated for Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, the newlywed (her then-husband was Russell Brand) wore a custom Armani gown complete with angel wings.
McKee wore her fiery hair down with her crown spun into a wide bun, styled by Alyssa Champion. Makeup artist Lindsey Torres made sure to tie her neon orange eyeshadow to her mane and Alex Perry dress.

Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas and hairstylist Jared Henderson created an edgy look on the singer, who donned razor thin eyebrows, a bold red lip and smokey eyeshadow. Her hair was dyed platinum blonde hair and styled in a neat pixie cut. Doja also made a statement with her faux tattoos, which covered her arms, chest and face.
Stars really are just like Us — they, too, can’t get enough of the Bachelor franchise! Over the years, many celebrities have shared their obsession with the show.
In 2016, Blue Bloods actor Donnie Wahlberg shared his passion for the show, penning more than 1,000 words for Chicago Splash about his obsession.
“How I lost my Monday nights — but not quite my manhood — to my wife’s favorite TV show. Don’t laugh, it could happen to you, too,” the intro of the story read. “I know all these Bachelor guys on a first-name and character-description basis. The same way that so many husbands had to get to know [New Kids on the Block’s] Donnie, Jordan, Danny, Jon and Joe?”
“I love the show,” she told Entertainment Tonight the following year. “Look, he’s like half my age — not that that should matter, but, no, he’s great. I’m super excited. I love the show. I’ve missed it. And I’m just so glad that the show premieres in the winter when it’s dark early because my kids don’t know what time I send them to bed but like 5:45pm. As soon as it’s dark, [I watch The Bachelor].”
Jennifer Aniston is also a big fan. Celebrity hairstylist Justin Anderson revealed in 2021 that she often asks him about his work with Bachelor Nation.
“It’s so funny because when I would do Bachelor people and I would post it to social media Jennifer Aniston, the next time I would see her she’s like, ‘Wait did you just meet so-and-so?'” he said during an episode of the “Click Bait With Bachelor Nation” podcast. “Like, we would talk about it. She’s definitely a fan!”
Selena Gomez and more celebs have also admitted how much they love the reality TV series. Scroll through the gallery below for more famous Bachelor fans.

Bachelor in Paradise star Abigail Heringer confirmed Hadid is a fan of Bachelor Nation after running into her at an event.
“When we were in Las Vegas, we went to this restaurant opening,” Heringer shared via her Instagram Story in February 2024. “Bella Hadid walked by me, and [my husband] Noah [Erb] was there as witness. She walked by me and literally says, ‘Oh my gosh I love you!’”
Heringer admitted, “My jaw dropped and I was like ‘Oh my gosh, I love you more.’ I asked for a picture with her.”
During a February 2024 interview on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, Cooper said that he’d recently become a reality TV fan thanks to The Golden Bachelor. After watching Gerry Turner’s search for love, he’d started watching Charity Lawson’s season of The Bachelorette. “I’ve been completely turned on by reality television. I’m absolutely obsessed,” Cooper explained. “It entered my life, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is the most incredible reflection of human behavior and social dynamics.’”
“I’m going to take some of your time away — nobody told me that I would be meeting you,” the Dropout star gushed to Rachel Lindsay, who was interviewing her for Extra in March 2022. “They did not tell me. Hold on a second. Just give me a second. I’m sorry, I can't help it, I’m just a big fan.”
Five months later, the Mean Girls actress gushed about ABC's choice to have two Bachelorettes — Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia — on season 19 of the show. “It’s the best thing they’ve ever done,” Seyfried said during an August 2022 interview on SiriusXM. “I am most passionate about that direction from now on. I don’t know how you can do it any other way.”

In an interview published in January 2023, the actress told Bustle that her favorite way to wind down is by watching The Bachelor in the bath. “I’ll light all the candles, throw in some bath salts, some magnesium, maybe a Lush bath bomb,” she said. “I’ve also got a TV in my bathroom, so I’ll put on a guilty pleasure like Love Island or The Bachelor and decompress.”
Hudgens added that she’s also a big fan of The Golden Bachelor. “I watched the Golden Bachelor finale last night,” she said. “I’m here for all of it.”
The Saturday Night Live vet often expressed his adoration for the franchise via hilarious comments on Instagram. Those jokes ultimately led to him landing a guest host spot on season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise.
Days after sharing videos from her watch party for the season 24 finale in March 2020, the singer started hanging out with one of Peter Weber’s finalists: Madison Prewett!

The South African actress shared this Instagram photo of herself standing in front an advertisement for season 24 of The Bachelor, starring Peter Weber. “Turbulence I like,” she captioned the pic in December 2019.
Like his wife, Donnie Wahlberg is also a fan of the franchise. “We have to watch together!” Jenny McCarthy told Us in May 2019 about watching the show with her husband. “And I don’t care if it’s the finale or not, Donnie cries! It’s episode 3 and he’s crying and I’m like, ‘Donnie! You can’t be crying already!’ But I love it, that shows you his emotional side and he’s like the real deep feeler and I’m like the, ‘Tough it out, kid, tough it out’ one.”
While The O.C. alum was linked to Viall, she shut down romance rumors and revealed she’s really just a fan of the franchise. Bilson joined Viall to break down one of Hannah Brown’s Bachelorette episodes in July 2019.
"The Bachelor, I'm doing a lot of. I say this to people and they seem surprised,” the Harry Potter star revealed on Good Morning America in January 2019. “I would also like to say I used to be, like, one of those guys that was like, 'Yeah, you know, my girlfriend makes me watch it.' It's not. I'm making the choice. It's me. Week after week ... I think I used to be really annoying and snobby about it and I actually started watching it and I'm like, 'Nah, I like it.'"
Radcliffe added that he’s “very obsessed” with season 23, starring Colton Underwood. “He seems like a nice person this season. They haven't all been."
“I used to live tweet during The Bachelor, and I loved it, until it became an unsafe environment,” Pratt revealed in the 2018 book Bachelor Nation. “All I did was like a fellow Bachelor fan’s tweet and she said she wanted to kill herself. It was Anna Kendrick. She wrote something like, ‘@SpencerPratt just favorited my tweet, looks like I now need to go kill myself.’”
“I feel like it becomes a reflection of your own issues surrounding romance. [My fiancée] Melanie [Lynskey] and I have gotten into little fights about the show,” Ritter revealed in Bachelor Nation. “I’ll be using Nick Viall as a punching bag, but actually be talking about myself and how I feel. I’m like, ‘He’s just trying to be honest! It’s complicated!’”
“I’m obsessed with The Bachelor and The Bachelorette,” Fanning told W magazine in July 2018. “With reality television, if it’s all set up and fake, then they’ve got the greatest actors in the world.”
“Sometimes I get so excited for these Bachelors and then I’m disappointed, but I have a good feeling about [season 23 star Colton],” McCarthy exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2018.

"We argue about whether or not we should fast [forward]," he said on Jimmy Kimmel Live in March 2015. "I don't really want to hear the conversations, I want to know the decisions. You can decide on this one or this one. And I want to see somebody cry. And then see somebody get ecstatic and then see them cry."
Seyfried kept up with season 18 Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis via Twitter. "I hope Clare wins so they can learn English together. #bachelor," the Les Miserables actress tweeted in February 2014. "Chris Klein for The Bachelor. #unironicSuggestion."
Who knew? The "Say" singer admitted he has a soft spot for the series during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May 2012. "I don't even feel like it's my fault for liking it," he said. "It's not a guilty pleasure. It's designed to be a pleasure."
"You know what I find fascinating? The Bachelor," the Friends alum said in Allure magazine's February 2011 issue. "I was mesmerized by how these girls, they meet this guy, they have three dates together or something, and they're weeping as though they've just lost the love of their life. I don't understand that."
Years later, Aniston joked that she would be willing to take over for Chris Harrison following his permanent departure from the franchise.
"OK, well, I'll do that. Gladly. I'll be the one picking roses in the rose garden," the actress told InStyle in August 2021.

During Andi Dorfman’s season of The Bachelorette, the MSNBC anchor revealed he started watching the show when his daughter Allison invited him to her viewing party. On a July 2014 episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers, Williams said, “Just as I wouldn’t speculate going into an election night, I can’t speculate on the outcome, except to say ‘Andi, we’re with you. We realize this season has been one of heartache, great travel and adventure, but what a season.’”
The August: Osage County actress often live-tweets during the show. "Watching The Bachelor Women Tell All...DRAMA'S BOUT TO GO DOWN AND I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED," she tweeted in March 2014 about season 18 Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis.
The radio disc jockey poked fun at season 11 during a March 2011 Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance. "[My wife Beth] thinks I'm such a great catch after she watches that moron Bachelor [Brad Womack]," he said. "He's a very good-looking guy but he's got the personality of an eggplant."

The Mad Men actress told James Corden in November 2017 that she thought the season 21 Bachelor, Nick Viall, was attractive.

They’re big fans! The That 70’s Show alums appeared on Rachel Lindsay’s Bachelorette season to help her find love. Not only did the couple host a group date, but they also raved about their love for the ABC dating series!
The Luckiest Girl Alive actress has continued to keep up with the ABC franchise long after her cameo.
“I have kids and a family. There's only so much that you can do [to relax],” Kunis told Extra in September 2022. “My version of unwinding: come home, my husband hands me a glass of wine, and I sit there and I decompress. I watch reality TV or I read some dumb articles or try not to focus and hyperfocus on something.”
As a dutiful member of Bachelor Nation, the actress tuned in for Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia’s joint season.
“This whole season to me was a little wonky because it was one of these weird things where you didn't even have time to invest in anybody's relationship because they were showcasing two separate people falling madly in love,” Kunis said during an appearance on Sirius XM’s “The Jess Cagle Show” later that September. “And you're, like normally within the span of a season, you watch the people fall in love and you are invested. And here you never even got to watch them fall in love. It kind of just happened. And then they were in love. He was, she was in love. He was in love.”
After watching Rachel and Tino Franco’s emotional breakup amid cheating allegations, Kunis noted that the show’s drama got “too real.”
She added: “I don't like it. ... I just like the entertainment part. … I was like, ‘Bad, bad, bad actions on his behalf. Like, really stupid dude.’ Don’t go super extreme night one, right? But also maybe just bad communication skills amongst everybody.”
Lawrence, a self-proclaimed huge fan of the series, told Vanity Fair in March 2018 that she wants to pitch a show called Breakup Island where reality stars who’ve been broken up with on TV try to find love again.
“It breaks my heart that I couldn’t make Jessica happy. I wanted to be everything to my wife,” Lachey — who later married Vanessa Lachey (née Minnillo) in July 2011 — recalled to Rolling Stone in April 2006. “I wanted her to look at me with love in her eyes, the way she did at the beginning, and have her feel like I was the most wonderful, awe-inspiring man on the planet. And when that stopped, it was the worst feeling in the world.”
“Nick loved the fact I was so strong in my faith and that I had this wide-eyed innocent approach to life. When he proposed in 2002, I said yes,” Simpson wrote in the book, which was published in 2020. “We were young and pioneering our way through reality television, always mic’ed and always on. We worked and we were great at it but when it came time to being alone, we weren’t great at it anymore.”
She added at the time: “I was 22, and I had just pledged my life and destiny of this man. And I don’t regret it. Nick was meant to be my husband. No one else was supposed to have my virginity.”
The singer dated the Supernatural actor in the late '90s around the time she became a household name with her debut album Sweet Kisses. It was rumored that Simpson was speaking of the hunk when she later recalled her "first heartbreak" on an episode of MTV's Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica years later.
The twosome began dating in 1999, married in October 2002 and starred in three seasons of MTV's Newlyweds. But after divorcing Lachey in June 2006, Simpson had only fond memories of the experience. "I believe it did not affect our marriage. Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish," she told Vanity Fair in 2009.
Simpson was rumored to have hooked up with the Maroon 5 frontman in 2004, while she was still married to Lachey. That January, the two reportedly spent the night at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont together. Simpson was seen wearing his T-shirt as pal CaCee Cobb picked her up the next morning.
The famous prankster said he and Simpson did the deed during a chat on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show in September 2006. "We were just drinking margaritas and stuff, and you know, from there," he said. "It was when her parents were away and Nick was away," he claimed. "It's not a secret."
Simpson was accused of cheating on Lachey with her Dukes of Hazzard costar in 2006.
While both Simpson and Knoxville denied allegations that they had an inappropriate relationship at the time, the singer detailed their alleged emotional affair in her 2020 memoir, Open Book.
“I felt a force drawing us together,” Simpson wrote about Knoxville, who was married to his first wife, Melanie Lynn Clapp, at the time. “To me, an emotional affair was worse than a physical one. It’s funny, I know, because I had placed such an emphasis on sex by not having it before marriage. After I actually had sex, I understood that the emotional part was what mattered. And Johnny and I had that.”
She added that the twosome wrote “love letters” to each other. “It’s like Johnny and I were prison pen pals, two people who wanted too much to be with each other but were kept apart — by bars, by our stars, by our respective spouses,” Simpson wrote.
Knoxville has yet to publicly react to Simpson’s book claims.
When she began dating the "Your Body Is a Wonderland" crooner in 2006, Simpson famously darkened her locks before calling it quits in May 2007. In 2010, Mayer opened up about their relationship in a Playboy interview saying that being with Simpson in the bedroom was like "sexual napalm" and that she was "like crack cocaine to me."
In her 2020 memoir, Open Book, Simpson slammed Mayer.
“Again and again, he told me that he was obsessed with me, sexually and emotionally,” she wrote, noting that he would break up with her because her “light would start to dim.”
She wrote: “John loved me when I was shining and he drew inspiration from that light. When he tapped me dry, he looked at me like I was withholding something from him.”
The NFL Dallas Cowboys player ended their relationship the night before Simpson's 29th birthday in July 2009 after nearly two years of dating. "It's been a long time coming," a pal of Romo's told Us. "They go from one fight right into another, without a second break," another added. "It's always something with Jessica."
Though the two were first spotted together in NYC in December 2009, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman played coy about the nature of their brief courtship. "The stuff that I've seen doesn't have any bearing to the reality that I'm in," he said to the Chicago Tribune in 2010. "It's like being in a cartoon. It has nothing to do with what's really going on or how I feel."
Their short-lived spring fling came to an abrupt halt when the Hurt Locker star simply stopped calling the singer in 2010. Afterward, a source said a confused Simpson "showed up at his house one day" — and came to face-to-face with another woman! He was a "dirtbag," an insider told Us.
Simpson and the former NFL player began dating in May 2010 and got engaged six months later, ultimately tying the knot in July 2014. The couple welcomed daughter Maxwell in May 2012, son Ace in June 2013 and daughter Birdie in March 2019.
In January 2025, Simpson announced their separation after 10 years of marriage. “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” she told Us in a statement. “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”
Simpson revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in January 2020 that the “Suit & Tie” singer once kissed her on a bet from former All-New Micky Mouse Club costar Ryan Gosling. “After [my] divorce and he was out of a relationship, he was, like, over at my house, and we shared a nostalgic kiss,” she recalled. “Apparently, him and Ryan Gosling had a bet on who would kiss me first when they were 12 years old, so he texted Ryan and said he won the bet. And I was like, ‘Oh, OK, um, so we don’t kiss again? That’s done.’”
Hollywood is full of power couples such as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, but there are also plenty of stars who found love outside the spotlight.
Some of the industry’s longest-standing twosomes met before achieving life-changing fame, such as Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman, who met in college, or childhood sweethearts Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley.
Others — including Christina Aguilera and Matthew Rutler, Julia Stiles and Preston J. Cook, and Jimmy Kimmel and wife Molly McNearney — met on the job.

The “Shape of You” singer may be one of the biggest artists in the world, but his wife, Seaborn, has a much-less glamorous title as an “advisory consultant.” Though the couple, who met as teenagers, didn’t date as kids, only reconnecting in New York City in 2015, their hometown connection proved strong: Sheeran confirmed his marriage in 2019’s “Remember the Name.”

McNearney was a writer’s assistant on Jimmy Kimmel Live when she fell for the host — and vice versa. She told Glamour in February 2014 that though Kimmel initially insulted her upon meeting, calling her penchant for triathalons “really stupid,” his mastery of the kitchen won her over. “We really liked each other as friends, and then it just kind of turned. He cooked for me, and that was it,” she joked. “It sealed the deal.”
Cook not only landed the job of a camera assistant on the set of 2015’s Go With Me, but a future spouse in leading lady Stiles. The couple got engaged in December 2015 and exchanged vows nearly two years later, while the actress was pregnant with the couple’s first child, Strummer.

Gordon-Levitt hinted to Howard Stern in 2013 that he and McCauley, with whom he shares two kids, met through mutual friends.

He wed the Robotics CEO one year later in December 2014.
Orzechowski, who has been married to Urie since 2013, proved dreams do come true when she made a big impression on the Panic! at the Disco singer at one of his shows. He told fans in a Reddit AMA in 2014: “I met Sarah while touring for Pretty. Odd. She was dating someone else at the time, but I couldn’t get her out of my mind. By some good fortune and some help from mutual friends, we met up again 8 months later when she happened to be single.”
The Hunger Games star admitted to Allure in May 2015 that she didn’t expect to marry sports writer Handelman when she first hooked up with him as a teenager. Their love went the distance, however: They got married in 2003 and welcomed kids Felix and Magnus in 2011 and 2012, respectively. “Really, what happened was I’ve never met anyone that I liked more,” she said. “In the early years, did I have crushes or little interests here and there? I know my husband did, and so did I, but we stayed together.”

Undergaro, who said his “I dos” to the former E! co-anchor in a live, on-air ceremony on New Year’s Eve in 2017, was by Menounos’ side long before her rise to fame — she told Yahoo in December 2018 that “it was love at first sight” when she met her man as a 19-year-old college student. Two decades later, they got engaged.
The pair exchanged vows in 2017 and again one year later.

"That's how much he supported me from the very, very beginning." She joked in her speech: "I read an article that said that winning an Oscar could lead to living five years longer. If that's true, I'd really like to thank the Academy because my husband is younger than me."

Scroll down for more of the most memorable moments from the Golden Globes throughout the years:
When the Golden Globes first started in 1944, the trophies were presented exclusively by journalists. Then, in 1958, during the first-ever telecast of the awards, Rat Packers Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis Jr. stormed the stage -- whiskeys in hand -- and hijacked the show. Much to the delight of their fellow attendees, the trio were invited back for a repeat performance in 1959.
Oliver Stone’s 1979 best screenplay acceptance speech for Midnight Express turned into a rant about the United States’ drug policy. Though host Chevy Chase requested for Stone to “just say ‘thank you’ and leave the stage” and the audience began to boo him, he continued to make his point. Security guards ultimately escorted him off the stage.
After her double win at the 1980 Golden Globes -- for Best Actress in The Rose and Best New Female Star -- Bette Midler drew the audience's attention to two other trophies: her breasts! "I'm reminded of when Joan Crawford actually won her Golden Globe and she said...'I'll show you a pair of Golden Globes,'" Midler joked, pretending to grope herself. Covering her face in embarrassment after, she said, "Excuse me, I'm sorry. I'm different now. I'm a good girl!"
Accepting the Best Supporting Actor award for 12 Monkeys in 1996, Brad Pitt started off his speech not by thanking his director, co-stars, or then-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow but by acknowledging "the makers of Kaopectate," a medication that treats indigestion and diarrhea. "I have a nervous stomach, and it works," the A-lister explained later. "I'll be expecting those calls from Kaopectate any minute now."
Chicago Hope star Christine Lahti almost missed her big moment in the spotlight when Michael J. Fox announced her as the 1998 winner of Best Actress in a TV Drama -- while she was in the bathroom! Running onstage to accept the award, she confessed she had been flushing the toilet when her name was called. The next year, when she presented at the show, Lahti stuck a piece of toilet paper to her shoe as a joke.
During his tearful acceptance speech for Don King: Only in America in 1998, Best Actor winner Ving Rhames surprised the crowd by giving away his trophy to fellow nominee Jack Lemmon. "I feel that being an artist is about giving," Rhames said as he handed the award to the 12 Angry Men star, "and I'd like to give this to you, Mr. Jack Lemmon." Lemmon accepted, saying, "That is one of the nicest, sweetest moments I've ever known in my life."
When Jack Nicholson accepted the Golden Globe in 2003 for best actor in a drama for About Schmidt, he admitted that he “took a Valium” earlier that evening. The medication helps with treating anxiety, muscle spasms and seizures.
When Richard Gere won the Golden Globe in 2003 for his role in Chicago, he initially couldn’t get through his speech without Sharon Stone repeatedly interrupting him.
Jamie Foxx's 2005 acceptance speech for Ray is widely considered one of the most heartfelt speeches in Golden Globes history. "I wish I could take what I'm feeling right now and put it in the water systems...we would all love each other a whole lot more," he began. Later, he fought back tears as he paid tribute to his late grandmother Estelle Talley. "I used to think it was corny when people would say that people were looking down on you," he said. "I didn't believe it. But I got a feeling."
House actor Hugh Laurie deserves an award just for his creativity during his 2006 acceptance speech for Best Actor in a TV Series. Realizing he had too many people to thank -- 172! -- and too little time in which to do it, the star wrote down all 172 names on little pieces of paper and drew three at random to acknowledge on stage. The lucky few? His script supervisor, hairstylist, and agent.
Staying true to his trademark no-holds-barred-style of comedy, Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen had the audience doubled over with laughter as he described "the dark side of America" -- a.k.a. the private parts of his co-star Ken Davitian, with whom he filmed an infamous nude wrestling scene. The actor also memorably alluded to the many lawsuits that had been leveled against him after the film by thanking "every American who has not sued me so far."
Former Grey's Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington stunned both his cast mates and reporters in the 2007 Golden Globes press room when he used a slur while discussing an alleged incident between himself and fellow Grey's star T.R. Knight, who came out as gay in 2006. "I did not call T.R. a f----t," he said. "Never happened." Responding to Washington's statement, Knight's pal Katherine Heigl said angrily: "I'm going to be really honest right now. [Isaiah] needs to just not speak in public. Period."
During his three-year reign as the host of the Golden Globes, British star Ricky Gervais managed to insult or offend nearly everyone in Hollywood. Nothing was off-limits -- he took aim at Mel Gibson's alcoholism, Charlie Sheen's meltdown, Robert Downey Jr.'s rehab stays, and even Salma Hayek's accent. Addressing the comic's acerbic remarks onstage in 2011, Downey Jr. said sarcastically: "Aside from the fact that it's been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I'd say the vibe of the show is pretty good so far."
Taking the stage to present the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture in 2012, Knocked Up star Seth Rogen couldn't contain his excitement. "Hello, I'm Seth Rogen, and I am currently trying to conceal a massive erection," he deadpanned, as his co-presenter, Kate Beckinsale, chuckled uncomfortably. "How nice," she joked.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who hosted the Globes in 2013, 2014 and 2015, repeatedly roasted George Clooney during their tenure. In their final year as hosts, Fey quipped, "George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year. Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, was an adviser to Kofi Annan regarding Syria and was selected to a three-person U.N. commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza Strip. So tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award." One year earlier, she mocked his tendency to date younger women, joking, "Gravity is nominated for best film. It's the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age."
Dame Emma Thompson kept it real when she arrived onstage at the 2014 Golden Globes to present the award for best screenplay. She carried her Louboutins in one hand and a martini glass in the other. “I just want you to know, this red, it’s my blood,” she said to the audience, looking at the red bottom of her designer heels.
While presenting with Jennifer Lopez at the 2015 ceremony, Jeremy Renner remarked on her cleavage in her glam Zuhair Murad gown. After he asked her to open the envelope, she noted that she had the nails for it, to which he replied, "You've got the globes, too." Lopez laughed it off, but people watching from home were not as amused, with some saying the comment was inappropriate. He later responded to the backlash on Twitter, writing, "A reminder not to take this s--t so serious. Thanks Jennifer -- You're a gem.x #goldenglobes #hadtosayit #jlo"
Leonardo DiCaprio’s reaction when Lady Gaga bumped into him during the 2016 ceremony immediately went viral. "That's trending, huh?" he later told Entertainment Tonight. "I just didn't know what was passing me. I was like, 'Oh!'"
Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield decided to kiss as Ryan Gosling walked to the stage to accept an award during the 2017 ceremony. Reynolds would later joke that wife Blake Lively — who laughed during their intimate moment — was a better kisser than the Hacksaw Ridge actor.
After grimacing throughout host Ricky Gervais’ no-holds-barred opening monologue, Tom Hanks charmed the 2020 Golden Globes audience with his emotional Cecil B. DeMille Award acceptance speech. “[I’m] a man [who] is blessed. … Blessed with a family sitting down front like that,” he said, tearing up. “A wife, [Rita Wilson], who is fantastic in every way, who has taught me what love is. Five kids who are braver and stronger and wiser than their old man is, and a loving group of people who have put up with me being away months and months at a time.”
Jason Sudeikis was in awe of Norman Lear as the legendary TV writer noted that he was “close to 99” while accepting the Carol Burnett Award in 2021. “He’s 99? Wow,” the Ted Lasso star mouthed on camera during the virtual ceremony.
Glaser made jabs at several stars during her opening monologue at the 2025 Golden Globes. “So, tonight, we celebrate the best of film and hold space for television,” she said. “Yes, Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch: These are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms. These are some of the incredible movies nominated tonight.”
Glaser also made a comment about Diddy, who was arrested for sex trafficking and more charges in September 2024. (He pleaded not guilty and has denied all allegations.)
“Zendaya is here. Zendaya, you were incredible in Dune [2]. Oh, my God, I woke up for all of your scenes. You were so good,” Glaser said. “And Challengers, girl? It was so good. I mean, that movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card.”
She continued, “Oh, I’m upset too. The afterparty’s not going to be good this year. But, we have to move on. A Stanley Tucci freak-off just doesn’t have the same ring to it. No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.”
The Golden Globes is one of the biggest nights in Hollywood, and it wouldn’t be complete without stars celebrating their wins with their loved ones.

Over the years, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has selected the child of a celebrity to carry the torch into awards season and assist with the annual Golden Globe Awards.
The coveted title of Miss and Mr. Golden Globes dates back to 1963 when Donna Douglas and Eva Six shared the honor. The tradition of the role going to a celebrity kid, however, didn’t start until 1971 with Anne Archer, who went on to become a successful actress in her own right.
Being Miss or Mr. Golden Globes — or the Golden Globes Ambassador as it was changed to in 2018 — does include a few in-show responsibilities. Throughout the event, the ambassador assists the presenters in handing out awards and escorting the winners from the stage.
While many stars have held the role over the years, the ambassador program was discontinued in 2021.

Taylor Swift, Kate Beckinsale and more of Hollywood’s biggest stars have one serious obsession with their furry feline friends.
The “Lover” singer has never been shy about her love for pets Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson, named for some of her favorite fictional characters. The Nashville native adopted her third cat, Benjamin Button, on the set of a music video in 2019.
While speaking with TIME in April 2019, the Grammy winner admitted that the “most influential factor” in her life is her cuddly kittens. “I have cats. I’m obsessed with them,” she said at the time. “They’re just a real joy to live with.”
Despite their past “Bad Blood,” Swift’s obsession with kittens is one thing she has in common with fellow cat lover Katy Perry. The “I Kissed a Girl” singer confirmed in April 2022 that her darling pet Kitty Purry had passed away.
“Kitty Purry crawled through my then-boyfriend’s window 15 years ago, fully pregnant and seeking shelter,” Perry wrote via Instagram at the time. “Kitty, thanks for the cuddles and companionship along the way.”

Carrie Fisher left behind a legacy that friends and fans will never forget following her December 2016 death at the age of 60.
The actress was best known for her role as Princess Leia inStar Wars, which daughter Billie Lourd (whom Fisher shared with ex-husband Bryan Lourd) has consistently been in awe of through the years.
“I wanted to hate [Star Wars] so I could tell her how lame she was,” Billie said during her mother’s posthumous Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in May 2023. “Like any kid, I didn’t want my mom to be hot or cool — she was my mom. But that day, staring at the screen, I realized no one is, or will ever be, as hot or as cool as Princess Leia.”
She continued, “People of all ages from all over the world were dressed up like my mom, the lady who sang me to sleep at night and held me when I was scared. Watching the amount of joy it brought to people when she hugged them … was incredible to witness.”
Billie later joined the Star Wars universe herself, costarring with her mom in 2015’s The Force Awakens and 2017’s The Last Jediboth filmed before Fisher’s death.
Scroll down for more of Fisher’s iconic photos and quotes:
Carrie Fisher was born on October 21, 1956, to Hollywood star Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. Her dad scandalized Hollywood when he infamously left her mother for Elizabeth Taylor. Reynolds surprisingly stayed friends with Taylor, who even left her some of her jewelry after her 2011 death.
Fisher, a self-proclaimed bookworm, attended Beverly Hills High School (pictured above in 1972 during her sophomore year) before appearing alongside her mother, Reynolds, in the 1973 Broadway revival Irene.
After a brief relationship with Dan Aykroyd, Fisher went on to date and later marry Paul Simon in 1983, but they split up a year later. The musician’s song “Hearts and Bones” is about their relationship.
Fisher welcomed her only child, daughter and Scream Queens actress Billie Lourd, in July 1992. After three years together, Carrie’s ex and Billie’s dad, Bryan Lourd, left her and came out as bisexual, and is now married to Bruce Bozzi.
In her memoir The Princess Diarist, Fisher revealed she had an affair with Star Wars costar Harrison Ford. “It was so intense,” she wrote. “It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.”
The actress was open about suffering from bipolar disorder. In her book and show Wishful Drinking, she said that “living with manic depression takes a tremendous amount of balls” and it's “something to be proud of, not ashamed of.”
The When Harry Met Sally actress, pictured above with Bill Murray on Saturday Night Live, was known for her witty remarks. In her book Wishful Drinking she joked, “I feel I'm very sane about how crazy I am.”
“People are still asking me if I knew Star Wars was going to be that big of a hit,” Fisher once said. “Yes, we all knew. The only one who didn’t know was George [Lucas].” She also once joked that her “life is like a lone, forgotten Q-Tip in the second-to-last drawer.”
The actress never went anywhere without her beloved pooch, Gary. The bulldog was even by the star’s side when she suffered a massive heart attack while aboard a flight from London to LAX in December 2016.
The trailer for Fisher's final film, Wonderwell, was released after several delays. The late actress played Hazel, a mysterious leader from a magical land. She wrapped filming six weeks before her December 2016 death.

John — who publicly came out as gay in 1996 — opened up about his journey and meeting the “love of [his] life” in an open letter to Zachary and Elijah.
“Looking back over the past 75 years, there is so much I am proud of, so much I have learned. As you are the two most precious parts of my life, I want to share some of those lessons with you,” the songwriter penned in a Timemagazine essay in March 2022. “Being true to myself is what gave me my voice and helped me face my greatest fears. I’ve forged deep friendships, found the love of my life and became your Daddy. Whoever you grow up to be, just be you — fully and completely you.”
Scroll below for the pair’s complete relationship timeline:
Music superstar John met film director and producer Furnish at a dinner party. "He was very well dressed, very shy," John told Parade in early 2010. "We fell in love very quickly."
How does the couple keep the love alive? "Every Saturday for 16 years, we've sent each other a card," John said at the time. "No matter where we are in the world, to say how much we love each other."
The spouses attended the 9th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation's "An Enduring Vision" benefit in NYC in October, just two months before the Christmas Day birth of son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. Born via surrogate, their little boy weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces.
“For many years we have talked about fulfilling one of our greatest wishes by becoming parents," John exclusively told Us at the time. “And now this wish has been granted to us, we feel so blessed and lucky.”
The following month, John told Us that he “never felt anything” like holding Zachary for the first time, adding, “You’re so awestruck. What can you say? You take it in. The feeling, the joy, the warmth of his body, his breathing. I will never forget that experience ever.”
The pair welcomed son Elijah via surrogate.
“Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable,” the couple gushed to Hello! magazine. “The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way. It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time; we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement."
“They know that daddy is famous but … when we are out in the summer and people are taking our photograph or asking for a photograph, they say, ‘Why do they want your photograph?’ And we always say, ‘Because people like my music,’” John told Us and other reporters at the time, while attending his annual Oscars bash with Furnish. “They know what Daddy does, but I never bring Elton home. I try to leave Elton on the stage. They’re quite grounded, as far as that goes. They love their daddy’s music, but they also like a lot of other people’s music.”
John earned a knighthood from the British royal family.
“The most magical morning accompanying Elton as he collected his Companion of Honour at Windsor Castle,” Furnish captioned an Instagram snap. “So richly deserved. Congratulations my darling, I’m so proud of you .”
“Sharing a moment of creation To celebrate the creation of Elton Hercules John ,” Furnish wrote about his husband via Instagram. “75 years ago today he arrived on this planet. And he’s been rocking and rolling ever since. I can’t begin to imagine my life or a world, without this glorious, loving, kind, caring, beautiful man. A spectacular husband and a deeply devoted father.” He added: “Happy 75th Birthday my darling . I love you. Forever and ever .”
That same month, Furnish revealed that the couple’s kids were inheriting John’s musical interests. “They’ve obviously been exposed to a lot of music in their life,” he exclusively told Us at the 30th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party. “They both love music. All Elton and I try to do as parents is expose them to as many things as possible and encourage them to be open-minded and follow in life what they love and what they feel passionate about. That’s more important than anything. You can’t tell your kids what to do.”
Furnish penned a sweet tribute to John via Instagram in honor of his 77th birthday, which falls on March 25. "Happy Birthday to my irrepressible husband @eltonjohn. You are the best father, hardest working artist and musician, bountiful humanitarian, loving partner, and most loyal friend," he captioned a photo of the "Tiny Dancer" singer, adding, "Love you forever."
In response, John commented, "I love you and am so incredibly lucky to have you in my life, thank you for everything."
The couple took to social media to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary (and 19 years of their civil partnership).
“Happy Anniversary to us 🚀❤️,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post at the time alongside a selfie of them at the beach.
Not every former Bachelorette found The One on the ABC series — but they’ve all captivated audiences with their search for love.
The Bachelor spinoff started off strong with Trista and Ryan Sutter, who got engaged during the first season of The Bachelorette in 2003. The couple, who have been married since December of that year, have since welcomed two children.
“I do not [regret it],” Trista exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2021 of her nuptials. “It was the best day ever. A close second to my children’s births. … But no, I don’t regret it at all. It was a beautiful day and I feel very lucky to have had the experience.”
While everlasting love has been the end result for some of the Bachelorettes, others haven’t been as lucky.
Scroll down to see which Bachelorettes maintained their relationships after the final rose — and which ones found love outside the show:
It was a success story for the inaugural Bachelorette! Rehn — who was the runner-up on the first season of The Bachelor — Sutter during the season 1 finale of the series. The two eventually tied the knot in 2003 and have since welcomed two children, son Maxwell and daughter Blakesley.

Schefft and Ferris did not work out. Schefft — who stole the heart of season three Bachelor Andrew Firestone — chose Ferris during the season three finale of the show but ended up rejecting his proposal.
