Michelle Trachtenberg died in February 2025 at the age of 39.

“It is with great sadness to confirm that Michelle Trachtenberg has passed away,” a rep for the actress told Us Weekly in a statement. “The family requests privacy for their loss. There are no further details at this time.”

Trachtenberg is survived by parents Michael and Lana, as well as her sister, Irene, and her boyfriend, talent agent Jay Cohen.

Trachtenberg had risen to fame in 1996’s Harriet the Spy, a decade before landing the role of Georgina Sparks on The CW’s Gossip Girl. (She also was known for her roles in Ice Princess, 17 Again and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.)

When Did Michelle Trachtenberg Die?

Us confirmed on February 26, 2025, that Trachtenberg was found unconscious inside her New York City apartment that morning by her mother.

Has a Cause of Death Been Revealed?

An official cause of death has not been confirmed, with a police source telling Us that it’s “not yet apparent.”

Several hours after Lana discovered Trachtenberg’s body, another insider revealed that a medical examiner left the premises. Nothing was loaded into the vehicle, which drove off followed by a car belonging to two police officers.

“On Wednesday, February 26, 2025, at approximately 0801 hours, police responded to a 911 call of an aided individual at 1 Columbus Place, within the confines of the Midtown North Precinct,'” local law enforcement officers told the Daily Mail in a statement. “Upon arrival, officers observed a 39-year-old female unconscious and unresponsive. EMS responded to the location and pronounced the victim deceased. Criminality is not suspected. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death. The investigation remains ongoing.”

She Previously Had a Liver Transplant

Multiple sources also confirmed to Us that Trachtenberg had a liver transplant ahead of her death. It is not known whether the organ transplant contributed to her passing.

What Were Michelle Trachtenberg’s Final Months Like?

Several of her neighbors spoke to Us about their experiences with the actress.

“Michelle always seemed happy, I never noticed anything off about her at all,” Rafael Williams, who lived above Trachtenberg, exclusively told Us. “I didn’t know her personally, but she always made a point to say ‘Hi’ in the elevator. It’s shocking to me because she didn’t seem to have a problem in the world. I just hope her family is OK.”

Neighbor Ariana Rodriguez also reflected on her own relationship with Trachtenberg.

“She wasn’t loud and smiled at everyone in the hallways,” Rodriguez recalled. “I saw her with her boyfriend a few times and they were always walking either hand-in-hand or with his arm around her. I’m so sad that I won’t be seeing her anymore in the building. She always said ‘Hi’ to me.”

Zac Efron played the teenage version of Matthew Perry in 2009’s 17 Again.

“I had the benefit of being able to watch Matthew my whole life before that movie started,” Efron recalled in a December 2023 interview with Variety. “It’s not like we hammered home how to do the jokes or the character. I had to make it true to myself and be able to make it happen. But there’s those things that Matthew Perry just invented. The way he kind of just brought humor to camera, they’re like ingrained in me. I think they’re a huge part of why I’m here, is comedic timing from Matthew Perry for years and years and years.”

He added, “I could kind of go through a scene in my mind and be like, ‘Oh, he’d definitely do this, oh, he’d definitely do that.’ That was really all it took — that, and putting yourself in your dad’s shoes, which was really crazy.”

In 17 Again, Mike O’Donnell (Perry) is on the precipice of divorce when he gets the chance to relive his high school glory days. After a magical occurrence, Mike is suddenly younger (played by Efron) as he goes back to high school — this time alongside his own children.

Louise Fitzhugh’s 1964 children’s novel Harriet the Spy was brought to life in a 1996 movie of the same name.

Harriet (Michelle Trachtenberg) is a precocious sixth-grader who’s destined to be a super-sleuth. She records all sorts of suspicious activity in her private notebook along with a running list of observations about everyone she knows. It all seems like harmless fun until one of her classmates finds her journal and exposes the middle schooler’s inner thoughts to the entire school. As everyone turns against her, Harriet resolves to exact revenge.

“I turned 10 years old on the first day of principal photography of Harriet this Spy,” Trachtenberg recalled to Entertainment Tonight in October 2021. “Rosie [O’Donnell] was my biggest supporter … There was a lot required of me. I’m extremely grateful for the experience.”

At the time, the Gossip Girl alum noted that fans still reach out to her regarding the film’s impact on their own life.

“When I do look at social media, which is challenging, [I see] them coming in with, ‘You inspired my life. You made me become a writer,'” Trachtenberg told ET. “All of those, just beautiful things.”

Scroll below to see what the Harriet the Spy cast has been up since their days filming the Nickelodeon movie:

Michelle Trachtenberg had been acting for decades ahead of her death at age 39.

Trachtenberg got her big break in 1996 when she starred as the titular Harriet the Spy opposite Rosie O’Donnell.

“I turned 10 years old on the first day of principal photography of Harriet the Spy. Rosie was my biggest supporter,” Trachtenberg recalled to Entertainment Tonight in 2021. “There was a lot required of me. I’m extremely grateful for the experience.”

After Harriet, Trachtenberg continued acting with roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ice Princess, 17 Again and Gossip Girl. On Gossip Girl, Trachtenberg notably portrayed Georgina Sparks. While the CW drama went off the air in 2012, the actress remained tight with her fellow Upper East Siders.

“Leighton [Meester] and I actually had dinner not too long ago, and she’s also a mother,” Trachtenberg told Us Weekly and other reporters in February 2020. “I think it’s just amazing what they’ve all accomplished.”

Three years later, Trachtenberg even made a cameo on HBO Max’s rebooted version of Gossip Girl.

Us confirmed in February 2025 that Trachtenberg died at age 39.

Celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero died suddenly in February 2025 at the age of 34.

Guerrero’s younger sister, Gris, confirmed her sibling’s passing that same month by launching a GoFundMe campaign in his honor.

“It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven. He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more,” the description reads. “Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top. Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly.”

According to Gris, their family is “taking care of his personal belongings and accommodations to bring him home.”

Jesus Guerrero’s Sister Addresses ‘Unanswered Questions’ About His Death

Guerrero worked with clients including Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lopez, as well as other A-Listers. Jenner even offered to pay for his funeral expenses.

“When this GoFundMe was set up we created it thinking we would have to take care of all the expenses ourselves,” Gris added in a February 25, 2025, update on GoFundMe. “We didn’t want to burden any clients with this. Our family deeply appreciates Kylie for later offering to cover funeral expenses and offering up all her help and support. Donations raised through this fundraiser will go toward the costs associated with securing his belongings home. As well as other unexpected expenses to settle his assets.”

When Did Jesus Guerrero Die?

Gris published her GoFundMe fundraiser on February 22, 2025, noting at the time that the hairstylist had recently and “suddenly” died.

Where Was Jesus Guerrero When He Died?

A source confirmed to Us Weekly that Guerrero had traveled to Dubai with client Lopez when he unexpectedly got sick. While battling his then-undisclosed illness, Guerrero returned to Los Angeles and was admitted to a local hospital.

“Everyone on his team did everything they could to get him to the doctors because he was not well,” Guerrero’s sister, Gris, exclusively explained to Us. “They told him he was not going to work, he should see a doctor and rest. And he wanted to come home.”

She added, “We have his paperwork from the hospital [in Dubai] and it was a very long flight and a lot in between and going on [to] the hospital [in the U.S.]. That’s part of why we are looking into his health more with what happened. As soon as he showed up [in Dubai], he was told you don’t look well, to sit down and rest. And if he didn’t get well, to go back to the hospital. [They told him], ‘We want you to take care [of] yourself.’”

What is the Cause of Jesus Guerrero’s Death?

An official cause of death has not been confirmed.

Gris, for her part, told Us that there were still “unanswered questions” about the circumstances surrounding her brother’s passing.

“We have been able to track every one of his steps, but we don’t know what got him sick or what was [the] sickness,” Gris explained. “It all happened suddenly and no one knows why. … That’s part of why there are so many unanswered questions because nothing they had done was able to prevent this from happening.”

Kylie Jenner Is Helping With Funeral Expenses

The insider, meanwhile, told Us that Jenner was “beyond devastated” by Guerrero’s death and even offered to pay for his funeral.

“She has offered to pay for all of Jesus’s funeral expenses and she is having his body transported to Houston for the funeral,” the source said.

What Has Jesus Guerrero’s Celeb Clients Said About His Death?

Many of Guerrero’s clients have been vocal about honoring his memory in the days following his passing.

“Jesus was more than my friend — he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support,” Jenner wrote, in part, via Instagram. “I don’t know how I would have made it through the last almost decade without him by my side. He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter. Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend. The pain of losing you is just unbearable.”

Lopez, for her part, noted in her own Instagram tribute that she was “brokenhearted” by Guerrero’s death.

“It’s no surprise your mother gave you the name Jesus. You were gentle and kind and loving, quiet and unassuming, but so powerful, and your presence was felt the minute you walked into any room,” Lopez wrote. “You never demanded the spotlight. You never needed to make a sound to be recognized, your heart and your talent did that as effortlessly as you artistry did.”

The singer added, “I’m still in shock that such a beautiful young life has come to an end. It seems senseless and unfair. I know your family is brokenhearted as am I and everyone else who knew you. Your spirit moved on to the next phase beyond this life but I know wherever you are there is beauty and light. And the beauty and light you left here will live on forever.”

Jessica Simpson is proud to be sober after previously struggling with alcohol addiction.

The singer had long relied on alcohol to help her cope with traumas in her past. Her dependence came to a head in October 2017 when she failed to show up for her kids — Maxwell, Ace and Birdie, whom she shares with estranged husband Eric Johnson — on Halloween. (Simpson and Johnson announced their split in January 2025 following 10 years of marriage.)

“I honestly couldn’t even tell you who got them ready. I was just dazed and confused, and I just wanted to go to sleep,” Simpson said during a January 2020 interview on Today. “I didn’t take them trick-or-treating. I didn’t show up for my family. I took the picture and I made the world think that I showed up.”

The next day, Simpson pledged to quit drinking and start working with a therapist. “I just realized that I had to surrender,” she told Today host Hoda Kotb. “I just want to continue on the path that I’m on, and at this point in my life, I’m strong enough to deal with anything that comes my way. Because I don’t have something to retreat to that will numb me from actually going through it.”

Stars Who've Gotten Sober

Simpson celebrated her seventh year of sobriety in November 2024. Keep scrolling to read her candid quotes about the journey:

January 2020

“I had started a spiral and I couldn’t catch up with myself … and that was with alcohol,” Simpson told Kotb on Today. “Every day I would say it, ‘I’ll stop soon. I’ll cut back.’”

The fashion designer further explained that she initially didn’t realize that she had a “problem” with drinking. “I completely didn’t recognize myself,” she said. “I always had a glitter cup. It was always filled to the rim with alcohol. I just realized that I had to surrender. It was time. I had to give it up and I was ready. I’m not going to miss another day. … I’m going to be present.”

Jessica Simpson

February 2020

Simpson revealed to Buzzfeed News’ AM to DM that she already had a conversation with her eldest kids Maxwell and Ace about her addiction struggles “because I knew that kids at school would talk about it.”

“With my children, they know Mommy doesn’t drink wine because it makes her too silly,” she continued. “But for me, alcohol never made me mean. People didn’t know that I had a problem — they knew that towards the end it was getting to be too much, that I was not being myself and I wasn’t present in a room. … So, when I explained it to my kids they really understood that Mommy is just living her best life!”

February 2020

Simpson also discussed her struggles in her Open Book memoir, noting that she started to rely on Tylenol PM pills to sleep in the wake of her childhood sexual abuse.

“I took each pill like a magic potion because it freed me,” she wrote. “I was able to sleep in my own bed, or a bed on the road, without needing [my sister], Ashlee. I didn’t think I was dependent. In fact, those pills actually helped me feel independent.”

March 202o

Prior to writing Open Book, Simpson had started flipping through her old diaries and realized “how much stuff I haven’t really dealt with,” she said on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show.

“I was also looking at the girl that I was and the perspective that I had and I really missed that person. And so, within that is when I started to spiral with the drinking and trying to numb things,” Simpson added. “Then, I realized it was stuff I actually needed to talk about and face.”

Jessica Simpson’s Body Evolution Through the Years

August 2020

“People are like, ‘Don’t you want to drink during this pandemic? Oh, my God, aren’t your kids driving you crazy?’” Simpson said on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show of being locked down amid the COVID-19 health crisis. “I’m like, ‘No, I do not want to drink,’ like, I have not wanted it. I feel like that’s a big blessing. Once I surrendered and gave it over I never looked back, and my husband did it with me, so that support was amazing.”

November 2021

Exactly four years after Simpson gave up alcohol, she shared an “unrecognizable” photo of herself.

“I had so much self-discovery to unlock and explore. I knew in this very moment I would allow myself to take back my light, show victory over my internal battle of self-respect, and brave this world with piercing clarity,” she wrote via Instagram. “Personally, to do this I needed to stop drinking alcohol because it kept my mind and heart circling in the same direction and, quite honestly, I was exhausted. I wanted to feel the pain so I could carry it like a badge of honor. I wanted to live as a leader does and break cycles to advance forward — never looking back with regret and remorse over any choice I have made and would make for the rest of my time here within this beautiful world.”

November 2022

“The most important thing I have learned through the last 5yrs without alcohol being a guard for escapism is that I CAN and ALWAYS WILL get through it,” Simpson wrote via Instagram on her sober anniversary. “I am capable of pretty much anything I care enough about to put my mind to. I am present. I am deeply inspired. I am determined. I am honest. I care about other people.”

February 2025

After releasing her first single in more than a decade, Simpson said that getting sober completely changed the way she approaches making music. “The moment I started drinking too much was when I started writing music in 2016 and it was making me go to places and feel sorry for myself,” she told People. “I don’t know why I wanted to feel sorry for myself other than the alcohol was lying to me and saying, ‘You’re braver because you can say this with me on your side.’”

She added, “I actually am so much more honest without alcohol, and I actually believe myself so much more without alcohol.”

The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards proved to be the perfect place for Mulder and Scully’s next team-up.

Former The X Files costars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson jointly appeared at the awards show on Sunday, February 23, to present the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.

“Ensemble, I believe that’s a French word that means, ‘Thank God, I only have to work three days a week,’” Duchovny, 64, teased to start their joint presentation. The actor then turned to his longtime friend and former costar, saying, “Nice to see you Gillian you look …”

Anderson, 56, finished his thought, saying, “Younger than you last saw me when we shot 218 episodes?” Duchovny nodded his head, “Yes, that’s exactly right.”

The twosome — who previously played partners and special agents Mulder and Scully — proceeded to ponder the meaning of a “great drama,” hilariously coming up with two very different answers.

“It is … timing,” Duchovny declared, but Anderson didn’t agree. “Chemistry,” she answered before teasing, “We still got it.”

Anderson joked, “Hilarious! It was so good. We did that so well.” The actors eventually handed the trophy to the cast of Shōgun, who had already won a few awards earlier in the evening.

Ahead of Sunday’s ceremony, Duchovny teased what it would be like to share the stage with Anderson again.

We’re going to present an award. It feels good, [but] I’d rather get an award than present one, but it’s nice,” Duchovny joked to TooFab on Saturday, February 22. “I’m sure there will be more chatter after Sunday.”

The X Files originally aired from 1993 to 2002 and followed two FBI special agents named Mulder and Scully as they investigated previously unexplained cases dubbed “The X Files.” Duchovny and Anderson later reunited for a two-season revival that aired from 2018 to 2018.

Why Gillian Anderson Kissed ‘X-Files’ Costar David Duchovny at 1997 Emmys

During the show’s 11-season run, Duchovny and Anderson received six individual SAG nominations. Anderson, for her part, took home the trophy for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series in 1996 and 1997, respectively.

Working on X Files also sparked a decades-spanning friendship between the two actors.

“Obviously, we know each other very deeply and yet we don’t know each other either in some weird way,” Duchovny recalled on a November 2024 episode of his “Fail Better” podcast. “Even if it’s just biographical, I don’t know that we ever sat down and said, ‘Hey, what was your childhood like?’”

According to Duchovny, he often found it difficult to articulate his feelings.

“I guess I would talk about my failure of friendship or my failure of companionship or just costarring-ness,” he explained at the time. “There was a long time working on the show where we were just not even dealing with one another off camera. And there was a lot of tension, which didn’t matter apparently for the work because we’re both f—ing crazy, I guess. We can just go out there and do what we needed to do.”

Anderson, meanwhile, revealed during the 2024 podcast reunion that they barely communicated between X Files takes.

“It’s crazy that we were able to present on camera the various feelings and emotions and attraction and all that kind of stuff, but then not speak to each other for weeks at a time,” Anderson recalled. “I know that any time that I tried to express myself … the standing up for myself almost felt worse than keeping it inside.”

Denise Richards likes to keep her beauty regimen au natural — unless Jennifer Aniston swears by an unorthodox hack, that is.

“For the exterior, I see a dermatologist doctor. He’s awesome, he’s very subtle, Dr. [Robert] Dorfman. I did do that salmon sperm facial. It was good,” Richards, 54, told People in an interview published on Sunday, February 23. “I had to after I heard Jennifer Aniston did. Who’s not going to do that?”

She added, “I was like, ‘If she did it, I’ll do it.’ But by the way, I am not one that does a bunch of stuff. I want to look like myself, so I don’t do a bunch of fillers. I do a little Botox. I want to move my face because my eyebrows are very expressive, so I want to keep all that. But I try to do subtle.”

After Richards heard that Aniston, 56, tried the unconventional facial, she was willing to step outside her comfort zone. (Salmon sperm facials are said to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin while creating a glowy complexion. Results can reportedly last up to six months.)

Ariana Grande and More Stars Who Opened Up About Plastic Surgery

“If I could do a little laser or that salmon sperm thing or whatever, I’ll try it,” Richards told the outlet. “I know it sounds weird.”

Aniston previously revealed in a 2023 WSJ. Magazine cover story that she had the unconventional facial after learning about it from a local aesthetician.

According to the Friends alum, she’s willing to “try almost anything” in order to maintain a youthful look, whether it’s a salmon sperm facial or weekly anti-aging peptide injections.

“I do think that’s the future,” Aniston said, specifically referring to the injections.

Richards and Aniston aren’t alone in trying the salmon-featured treatment.

Jennifer Aniston Admits to Trying a Salmon-Sperm Facial

“I got a salmon sperm facial,” Kim Kardashian said in a 2024 episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians. “With salmon sperm injected into my face.”

90 Day Fiancé alum Stacey Silva, for her part, told Us Weekly in December 2024 that the facial gave her a special glow.

“Do you see the glow? Well, there’s this new procedure called salmon sperm and I injected it in my face,” Silva, 50, exclusively told Us. “I have salmon sperm in my face. Well, salmon, DNA. … I guess it just gives you a glow. It’s really popular in Korea, so it’s like this new hot thing everybody’s doing and I love it.”

Silva further noted that she didn’t feel any pain during the procedure because doctors “numb you up.”

“It was just a bunch of little injections in the face,” Silva added at the time. “Didn’t really hurt. It gives you an instant glow. You wake up glowing.”

Richard Gadd became an awards show darling thanks to the success of his debut Netflix miniseries Baby Reindeer — but he doesn’t proudly display most of his hard-earned trophies.

“I tend to give most of them out to people if you can believe that,” Gadd, 35, told Variety while attending the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday, February 22. “I never want to reveal where they are in case people break into the house because some of them are obviously very valuable now, but [mom has] got a few, I’ll put it that way.”

He added, “I think I’ve got about two awards in my house. I think I’ve got one of the three Emmys and I think I’ve got an Olivier.”

Gadd’s Baby Reindeer, based on his alleged personal experience with abuse, has earned him accolades at the Emmy Awards, Critics Choice Awards, Golden Globe Awards and more award show ceremonies. On Saturday, he took home the Independent Spirit trophy for Best Lead in a New Scripted Series.

Whenever Gadd hands off a new trophy to another recipient, he makes sure to convey his gratitude for all the support.

“[I say], ‘Thanks for everything you’ve done for me. I’m here and I’m alive because of you. Here’s an award to say thanks,’” Gadd added to Variety. “I’ve had some tough times in my life. A lot of good people have got me through them and I wouldn’t be accepting these awards if it weren’t for them.”

The Scottish performer is hoping to add to his collection at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, February 23, where he’s up for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series.

“Weirdly, I’m listening to a band called Rap Bag at the moment,” Gadd told the outlet of his pre-SAG preparation. “They’re quite obscure, but they’ve got this amazing song I cannot stop listening to. They’ve got this amazing sort of ethereal, slightly shrill — not shrill, that sounds bad — but it’s haunting.”

Gadd is up for a SAG Award against Javier Bardem (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), Colin Farrell (The Penguin), Kevin Kline (Disclaimer) and Andrew Scott (Ripley).

Gadd’s Baby Reindeer costar Jessica Gunning, who played Martha in the Netflix limited series, is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series on Sunday. Her category is rounded out by Kathy Bates (The Great Lillian Hall), Cate Blanchett (Disclaimer), Jodie Foster (True Detective: Night Country), Lily Gladstone (Under the Bridge) and Cristin Milioti (The Penguin).

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania is about to be a mother-of-the-groom!

Catania’s son, Frankie Jr., proposed to his girlfriend, Nicole Perricho, on Saturday, February 22.

Perricho, for her part, shared the engagement news via Instagram on Sunday, February 23, using Saturday’s date and red heart emoji as her caption. In the snap, Frankie Jr., 26, got down on one knee at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City.

Frankie Jr. looked dapper in a black suit, while his soon-to-be bride opted for a white sweater dress with feathered accents dotting the sleeves.

Real Housewives' Kids: Then and Now

Dolores, 54, shares her son with her ex-husband, Frank Catania. (The exes, who divorced in 1998, are also parents to daughter Gabrielle, 29.)

The RHONJ star was secretly present during the proposal.

“Me incognito waiting for the proposal,” Dolores wrote via Instagram Story on Saturday, later sharing a video of herself waiting outside the church dressed in a winter coat, a pair of oversized sunglasses and a face mask.

Frankie Jr. and Perricho, who works as a nurse, have been together since at least 2023 and have managed to keep most of their courtship private.

Frankie Jr.’s family, meanwhile, has been offering insight into their lives since Dolores joined RHONJ season 7 in 2016 after appearing as a guest in the debut season. The Bravo show has captured Dolores and Frank Sr.’s post-divorce dynamic — and her current relationship with boyfriend Paulie Connell.

RHONJ’s Dolores Catania Will ‘Definitely’ Go to Ex-Husband Frank’s Wedding 

“It wasn’t hard. It came easy after all the fighting,” Dolores exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2024 of her relationship with her former spouse. “I tell everybody, ‘You’re not going to remember the things you fought about. So, stop fighting [about it]; they’re not important. It’s just not, let things go and just move on with life.’”

She added, “I remember all the good memories we’ve had, the trips we’ve taken together [and] the holidays we’ve shared together. Those are my memories of me, Frank and the family after my divorce.”

At the time, Dolores also told Us that she wasn’t expecting a proposal of her own from Connell, 50, whom she’s been dating since 2021. (Frank Sr., for his part, is now engaged to Brittany Mattessich.)

“Isn’t that, like, a societal thing? It’s got to stop.” Dolores added to Us. “Why doesn’t everybody just ask, ‘What’s our next trip? What’s your next plan?’ Does it have to be marriage? Does it have to be [an] engagement? Happiness is the goal. Peace in our lives is the goal. We’ve had that.”

Chynna Phillips is still deeply in love with her husband, Billy Baldwin, amid ups and downs through the years.

“Happiest of birthdays to you, Billy. Sharing my life with you has been a privilege and a blessing,” Phillips, 57, gushed via Instagram on Friday, February 21. “You truly are a GREAT man. I love you eternally, and yes, it’s deep.”

Phillips also uploaded a photo where she packed on the PDA with Baldwin, 62, on a beach.

Baldwin also replied to his wife’s tribute, commenting, “Truly, madly, deeply Mama!!! .”

Billy Baldwin and Chynna Phillips’ Marriage, Relationship Ups and Downs

The singer met Baldwin in 1991, four years before they tied the knot. Phillips and Baldwin went on to welcome children Jameson, Vance and Brooke in 2000, 2001 and 2004, respectively.

The actor and Phillips first hit a rough patch when they separated in 2010 — the Wilson Phillips musician filed for divorce before withdrawing her petition — only to reconcile several days later.

“I started to feel a little flatlined, like, I need more and want more, and I know we deserve more from our marriage,” Phillips exclusively told Us Weekly upon their reunion. “It became so about the children and so about my business, his business, and I missed him. I really missed him. I missed laughing together, taking our little vacations together.”

Fourteen years later, Phillips and Baldwin made headlines when they revealed that they had been living in separate houses but remained married.

Chynna Phillips and Husband Billy Baldwin Are No Longer Living Separately

“Billy and I are sort of in this new kind of arrangement that is actually really working for me. I don’t know if it’s working for Billster, but I’m very happy with what we’re doing,” Phillips said in a November 2024 YouTube video. “I just really felt like, where in the Bible does it say that I have to live under the same roof 24/7 with my husband? Can you please find me that scripture?”

Phillips further noted that she and Baldwin still often met up for date nights, therapy sessions and other joint outings.

“We enjoy each other’s company. That’s what is so hard to articulate to people: that we’re madly in love, we really enjoy being around one another, we cherish our marriage, we don’t ever want to separate,” she explained. “We just need a little bit of time apart because we are sort of an allergy to one another. And it’s OK, I’m sure lots of different couples [have] allergies to each other.”

The next month, the couple had a change of heart.

“At that time I felt like I needed a little bit of space and really felt like that would be the most logical answer, but I have reneged,” Phillips said in a December 2024 vlog. “I am retracting that comment, and I am now saying that is probably a very foolish, very unwise, very destructive, stupid decision because that’s not going to solve our problem with the allergy.”

After cohabiting once again, Phillips found that they were in a “way better place.”

“It’s being kind and gentle … and being more playful,” she said late last year. “I need more playfulness in my life, and I feel like Billy sometimes struggles with playfulness, but you know what? He’s not me, and I have to grow up and I have to realize that just because Billy is not always as playful as I consider myself to be, that is not something that I need to come down on him for.”

Eva Longoria couldn’t resist coveting a few items from the on-set wardrobe of her Desperate Housewives costar Teri Hatcher.

“I used to steal Teri Hatcher’s clothes,” Longoria, 49, quipped during an interview with The Sunday Times published on Sunday, February 23. “Gaby had crazy outfits and I didn’t want any of them.”

She added, “When the show wrapped, I went into Teri’s closet because she didn’t want anything and it was all cashmere sweaters, which was much more my vibe.”

Desperate Housewives aired for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012 and followed the dramatic lives of a group of neighbors after one of their pals mysteriously died. Longoria portrayed Gabrielle “Gaby” Solis” opposite Hatcher’s Susan Meyer. The Emmy-winning drama was rounded out by Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, Nicollette Sheridan, Dana Delany, Vanessa Williams and Brenda Strong.

According to Longoria, she “didn’t fall in love with fashion” while appearing on Desperate Housewives.

“They would put clothes on me and I was like, ‘Meh,’” Longoria recalled in Sunday’s profile. “There was a lot of leopard print. I’m about classic styles and comfort, so I tend to be a little more muted in my style.”

While it’s been more than a decade since Desperate Housewives wrapped, Longoria has remained tight with her former Wisteria Lane neighbors.

“I talk to Felicity all the time. I talk to Marcia a lot. But the one probably I talk to most is Ricardo [Antonio Chavira, who played] my husband. And Jesse [Metcalfe],” Longoria told the Daily Mail in September 2024.

Several of the stars also shared advice with Longoria when she was pregnant with her son, Santiago. (Longoria shares her son, now 6, with husband José Bastón.)

“Oh my gosh, Marcia and Felicity have given me advice,” Longoria exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2018. “We talk a lot. They’re always supportive and amazing moms.”

In addition to Hatcher’s set style, Longoria also sought fashion inspiration from her relatives and pals like Victoria Beckham.

“[I admire] my mom, my aunt and my sisters. I never had to look far for an example of what a woman should be,” Longoria told The Times. “I had really great role models in my family. My aunt was well-traveled and always wore a scarf and perfume. She was — and is — so glamorous. That’s what I wanted to be like.”

Longoria also called Beckham, 50, her “style icon” in the profile, teasing, “I aspire to be like her one day, and I never will.”

Dave Bettenburg is remembering the good times with Love Is Blind fiancée Lauren O’Brien amid ex drama.

“No one I would’ve rather shared these moments with,” Dave, 33, wrote via Instagram on Friday, February 21, before jokingly adding, “I must’ve been really mean!”

Dave also uploaded several show images with Lauren, 31, from their post-engagement vacation to Honduras and tagged her account.

Lauren shared similar images of the pair on her Instagram, writing on Friday, “Honduras! Group hangs! Friends!”

Love Is Blind's Nick and Vanessa Lachey Defend Lauren's Pre-Show Hookup

Dave proposed to Lauren in the Love Is Blind pods during season 8, which was filmed in spring 2024 and started airing on Netflix earlier this month. They first met in person after Lauren accepted Dave’s pod proposal before jetting off on the cast’s trip to Honduras.

During the getaway, Lauren admitted that she had been casually dating another man — with whom Dave had mutual friends — shortly before joining the experiment. The drama carried over to Dave and Lauren’s post-trip life together back in Minneapolis.

“Dave was like, ‘Did you date anyone before coming on here?’ I go, ‘I was, like, talking to someone a couple of months ago, but I wouldn’t have said that I dated them,’ but Dave has mutual friends with him,” Lauren said during a confessional interview. “I was giving [Dave] names and he’s like, ‘Oh, I know him. I see him at the pool all the time.’”

While Dave didn’t want Lauren’s past hookup to deter their engagement, he consistently struggled to let it go.

“How do you go from seeing someone so recently to like, ‘I’m ready for marriage?’” he asked Lauren in a separate scene. “That just seems like a huge step in between. … That’s tough.”

Love Is Blind hosts Vanessa and Nick Lachey, meanwhile, defended Lauren’s past in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly.

Love Is Blind's Dave on Joke Backlash, Bringing Up His Sister So Much

“I think everyone’s situation is different,” Vanessa, 44, exclusively told Us earlier this month. “It’s very important to not be seeing someone while you’re on the show — we’ve seen that play out or not play out so well. But there’s no right or wrong.”

She added, “When you meet someone for the first time, and if you found out they just got out of a relationship, then you navigate that conflict. And [we’re] seeing how Lauren and David navigated that conflict, how what was important to him might not have been that important to her, or vice versa.”

Nick, 51, further acknowledged that Dave likely “felt it was gonna be a little awkward running into people that he knew” considering his fiancée’s dating history.

“That’s part of life [and] it’s not a specific Love Is Blind issue,” Nick quipped to Us.

Whether Dave and Lauren can overcome her ex situation (and make it down the aisle) remains to be seen in the remaining episodes of Love Is Blind.

Love Is Blind is currently streaming on Netflix. New episodes drop weekly.

Savannah Chrisley had recently started seeing now-boyfriend Robert Shiver when she found out that her former fiancé, Nic Kerdiles, had died at age 29.

“Robert and I started dating [on] August 17, 2023, and Nic passed away later in September,” Savannah, 27, recalled to People in an interview published on Sunday, February 23, noting she was out of town visiting one of her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, in prison following their respective fraud convictions. “When you go and visit, you don’t have phones. You’re not allowed any electronics. Before I went in, I just texted Robert, and I just said, ‘Nic died.’ That’s all I said.”

She added, “Keep in mind, we had been dating a month and when that happened, Robert reached out to my publicist, Alexa, and my best friend Tyler, and was like, ‘Hey guys, how do I show up for her? I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what to do. But just let me know if there’s anything I can do.’”

According to Savannah, Shiver, 40, immediately hopped on a plane to Florida to be by her side.

“He was there when I got out of visitation and he sent me a text and said, ‘Hey, I just want to let you know I’m here. I got you guys food, and I just want to get you home,’” Savannah recalled. “And he took me and [my siblings Greyson and Chloe] home. I had pictures of that day of him and Chloe playing rock, paper, scissors on the plane. When we got home I said, ‘I just want to go to where it happened. I just have to see it for myself.’”

News broke in September 2023 that Kerdiles died after a fatal motorcycle crash. (Savannah and Kerdiles dated on and off from 2018 to 2021. The former hockey player is survived by his parents and his sister.)

Once Savannah returned home to Nashville, she asked for Shiver to escort her to Kerdiles’ crash site.

“When we went to leave, we were standing at the stop sign, and Robert walks up next to me, and he goes, ‘Hey, do you mind if I say a prayer for Nic and his family?’” Savannah recalled. “In that moment, I was like, ‘This is the type of person you want to spend the rest of your life with.’ Someone who shows up for you, and shows up for you well, in situations like that.”

‘Chrisley Knows Best’ Alum Savannah Chrisley’s Dating History

Savannah confirmed in September 2023 that she was dating Shiver, later telling Us Weekly that their romance was going “great.”

“I’m so thankful to just have such a great person in my life,” Savannah exclusively told Us in October 2023. “This is a relationship that I’m like, ‘I want to protect and love and even who knows where it’s going to end up,’ but even if it [didn’t end] up as The One, I am so grateful to have met [him].”

Patrick Schwarzenegger is addressing speculation that his famous parents, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, somehow helped him land a role in season 3 of The White Lotus.

“I know there are people who’ll say I only got this role because of who my dad is,” Patrick, 31, told The Sunday Times in a profile published on Sunday, February 23. “They’re not seeing that I’ve had 10 years of acting classes, put on [high] school plays every week, worked on my characters for hours on end or the hundreds of rejected auditions I’ve been on.”

He added, “Of course, it’s frustrating and you can get boxed in and you think at that moment, I wish I didn’t have my last name. But, that’s a small moment. I would never trade my life with anyone. I’m very fortunate to have the life and family that I have, the parents I have and the lessons and values they’ve instilled in me.”

Exes Arnold, 77, and Shriver, 69, were married from 1986 to 2011, during which they welcomed children Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher. (Arnold also shares son Joseph Baena with Mildred “Patty” Baena, whom he secretly welcomed during his marriage to Shriver.)

Arnold Schwarzenegger Reacts to Son Patrick’s Nude Scene in ‘White Lotus'

Despite Arnold and Shriver’s divorce, their family remains close.

“I hang with my family all the time,” Patrick told The Times. “I live within a few minutes of my dad.”

In fact, Arnold, Shriver and most of Patrick’s siblings supported him at the official White Lotus premiere earlier this month. Patrick plays Saxton in the Thailand-set season 3 of the HBO anthology series created by Mike White.

“I thought, ‘There’s no way I’m going to get this, everybody is up for this.’ I’ve been a massive fan of the show since day one,” Patrick recalled. “It was my dream goal, I think I manifested it.”

Patrick learned that he scored the role less than one week after he proposed to longtime love Abby Champion.

“I was like, ‘Eek, sorry, I’m gonna be gone the next seven months, so we’re going to have to push the wedding to next year,’” Patrick jokingly recalled to the British newspaper.

Maria Shriver Gushes Over Patrick Schwarzenegger’s ‘The White Lotus’ Role

Ahead of filming White Lotus, Patrick also overhauled his fitness routine — often hitting the gym with dad Arnold — to get in shape to play Saxton.

“Me and my dad train together when we can,” the actor added in Sundayy’s profile. “We were both filming in Toronto recently, staying at the same hotel and worked out together every day. People [who] don’t like me on social media will say, ‘Why aren’t you bodybuilding?’ People always want you to do something else, but he’s undoubtedly been an influence in my life.”

Patrick previously praised his family’s impact on him in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly last year.

“Family continues to be super important, even as we get older,” Patrick told Us in September 2024. “It’s nice as we bring in new people, whether it’s my fiancée, or Katherine with her husband, [Chris Pratt], or so on and so forth. We always have other guests that come to the dinner.”

According to Patrick, his mother hosts weekly meals for their entire brood.

“It’s kind of an open invite for friends to come, family to come, and it’s just a nice way to get everyone together,” he added at the time. “The world is always moving so fast. Everyone is so busy with kids and with work and traveling that it’s a nice moment throughout the week to settle down and have everyone be together.”

A potential sequel to Top Gun: Maverick is still in development, according to star Jay Ellis.

“So here’s what the story’s going to be. It’s going to be payback. No, no [I’m kidding],” Ellis, 43, jokingly told Us Weekly exclusively at the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, California, on Saturday, February 22. “In all honesty, they’re still working on the script. They’re still working on the story. They’re wanting to get it right.”

Ellis portrayed Reuben “Payback” Fitch in 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, which was based on the original 1986 film with Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer. In Maverick, Cruise’s titular character showed Ellis, Miles Teller, Glen Powell and more the aviation ropes.

The latest film, which Cruise produced, was a critical success and prompted fan enthusiasm about a potential Top Gun 3.

Glen Powell Reveals He Has a ‘Date’ for ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Sequel Start

“You know, Tom is a stickler, and that really comes from him wanting to make sure the audience gets what they paid for and that they’re entertained,” Ellis told Us on Saturday. “[So] that for those two hours, they can fully disappear in this theater, and the world around them doesn’t exist anymore, and [be] fully entertained. That’s where the focus is.”

According to Ellis, Top Gun 3 would also need to enhance the story lines already explored in the first two films.

“[It’s also about] really making sure that this story is not done just to make a movie, but made because these characters are going to make people lean in,” he said.

While Ellis — just like Us — waits for more news about a Top Gun sequel, he has stayed booked and busy, recently filming Peacock’s All Her Fault miniseries. (A specific premiere date has not been announced.)

Why Miles Teller Told Tom Cruise He Needs 6-Month Heads Up for 'Top Gun 3'

“All Her Fault‘s a lot of fun. I’m very excited for that. Sarah Snook is the boss on that one. Sarah Snook is, obviously, the lead of that show [and] what a great cast. It’s Michael Peña, Dakota Fanning, Abby Elliott [and] myself,” Ellis gushed. “It is … based on a book. You’re going to be, like, your fists are going to hurt so much. Your hands are going to be balled up in anxiety so much for this show. It was fun. We got to shoot it in Australia, which was really cool. Such a great thrilling, like, heart-pounding [show].”

He added, “It’s one of those things where it’s kind of, like, the Spider-Man meme. Everybody’s pointing … at each other like, ‘You did it.’ It’s a lot of fun.”

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes showed off his new ‘do during his daughter’s birthday party.

Patrick, 29, and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, hosted a celebratory Bluey-themed gathering on Saturday, February 22, in honor of daughter Sterling turning 4 years old.

“The annual boys pic,” Brittany, also 29, wrote via Instagram Stories, uploading a snapshot of Patrick and former Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Nic Shimonek with their respective sons during the party.

Patrick held his son Bronze, 2, while Shimonek, 30, carried his two children with wife Betina Gozo Shimonek. The Mahomes boys, for their part, both wore baby blue outfits and smiled for the camera.

In the photo, Patrick rocked a cropped hairdo. The Chiefs star had recently appeared to chop off his signature curls after the 2025 Super Bowl earlier this month.

Patrick — who lost the NFL championship 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles — is a father of three. In addition to Sterling and Bronze, he and Brittany welcomed daughter Golden last month.

“I think people don’t even realize how much she does. I mean, taking care of the day-to-day stuff and make it where I can focus on football and focus on my craft and everything like that,” Patrick said of his wife during a May 2024 appearance on the “Impaulsive” podcast. “[She’s] a Hall of Fame mom and a Hall of Fame wife, [which] makes it a lot easier. I mean, when you get to come home and your best friend’s there and you can just hang out, it makes you want to be there all the time and she pushes me to be great and she’s done a lot of great things herself.”

Inside Patrick, Brittany Mahomes' Bluey-Themed 4th Birthday for Sterling

Patrick and Brittany have been together since high school, and the former soccer star has always proudly cheered on her man from the sidelines. Now, Brittany brings their children to watch his Chiefs games.

“I just try to cherish that. I still remember moments from the World Series my dad played when I was 5 years old,” Patrick said during a January press conference, referring to his father’s past MLB career. “So, these are moments I’ll have with my family for the rest of my life.”

He continued at the time, “It’s a growing family, but [I] hope we are done growing for a little while. It’s cool that I’m able to play in these big games and the Kansas City community has brought me in to be a part of their family.”

Late hockey star Johnny Gaudreau’s wife, Meredith Gaudreau, is celebrating their son’s 1st birthday.

“Happy 1st Birthday to our baby boy! We love you so much, Baby Johnny! Already so strong and so special,” Meredith wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 22. “‘I can’t believe you gave me a boy,’ is all John said over and over again when baby Johnny arrived. I couldn’t stop staring at how happy John was — one of the best moments of my life.”

She added, “Baby Johnny you are Mommy’s rock and Noa’s best friend. All of Daddy’s accomplishments don’t compare to the pride and joy he had in being your father.”

Johnny, who died in August 2024, and Meredith shared daughter Noa, 2, and son Johnny, 12 months. Meredith is also currently pregnant with the couple’s third baby.

“I can’t wait to give you a little sibling soon! Everything for you, Baby Johnny,” Meredith continued in her social media upload. “We love you so much !”

Meredith closed her note with an emotional message to her late spouse, writing, “Thank you, John, for giving me our boy. Thank you for our family. Crazy first year but today we celebrate.”

Meredith took the kids to watch a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game — the team that Johnny played for ahead of his death — on Saturday. During the matchup, the crowd serenaded Johnny Jr. with a rendition of “Happy Birthday.”

“Thank you @bluejacketsnhl for helping make Johnny’s 1st birthday so special,” Meredith wrote via her Instagram Stories later on Saturday. “I know baby Johnny’s dad appreciates this and is proud of the big win!” (The Blue Jackets beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-1.)

Johnny and his younger brother, Matthew Gaudreau, were struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver in a biking accident last summer. They were 31 and 29, respectively.

In addition to Meredith and their children, Johnny is survived by the brothers’ parents and their two sisters. Matthew is also survived by his wife, Madeline Gaudreau, and their infant son, Tripp.

Madeline also shared a birthday tribute to her young nephew on Saturday.

“Happy Birthday Johnny, your Uncle Matty loves you sooooo much,” Madeline wrote via her Instagram Stories. “And Aunty Madeline loves you so much.”

Madeline gave birth to Tripp in December 2024, four months after Meredith revealed her current pregnancy during the brothers’ funeral.

“We’re actually a family of five,” Meredith said in her September 2024 eulogy. “I’m in my ninth week of pregnancy with our third baby. A total surprise, but again, John was beaming and so excited. I was so nervous because this was, again, a total surprise. But his reaction was just immediately kissing me and hugging me even though I was driving the car. After the initial excitement sank in, every time he looked at me, he would say, ‘You’re nuts, you know that? Three kids?’”

When Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei tie the knot, they plan to make sure her late mother will be honored.

“I think that maybe I would take, like, a piece of some type of clothing of hers that meant a lot and somehow incorporate it into something in our wedding,” Anderson, 26, said on the Friday, February 21, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “I definitely want a piece of my mom in our wedding and I think that I’m a very sentimental person, so there’s a lot of ideas that I have [to incorporate] the people that went with us presently.”

Anderson got engaged to Graziadei, 29, during the Bachelor season 28 finale and are now in the midst of planning their big day. According to Anderson, her fiancé also wants to honor his late grandmother.

“She was very, very special to him,” Anderson said. “I’m trying to think of ways that we can still honor them because they were big people in our lives.”

Other than including special tributes, Anderson doesn’t have a ton of must-haves in mind when it comes to the ceremony.

“The only [thing] that Joey and I both have said is that we want it to just be a big party,” Anderson teased. “Like, after we say our vows we just want to have a big celebration. We want everyone on the dance floor [and] so I’m gonna find the perfect band, perfect DJ, whatever we choose.”

She added, “I’m pretty open, but I don’t think I want everything to be super traditional. I want it to just form to [what] we feel is right for us.”

Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson Thinks 'Orb' in Engagement Photos Was Late Mom

Kelsey is one of the daughters of Mark and Denise Anderson. Denise died in 2018 following a battle with breast cancer.

“My mom was somebody who was very positive and always found light in any situation, even whenever she was going through all these rounds of chemo and radiation and she was very sick,” Kelsey exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2024. “[My mom] initially got diagnosed because she found a lump in her armpit when she was doing a self-exam. She went in and she got it checked. They said it was fine. It wasn’t anything. She had this gut feeling and was like, ‘I just want it removed if it’s not supposed to be there.’ She ended up having stage three and stage four breast cancer.”

Kelsey has since become an advocate for early detection, telling Us that she’s previously undergone two lumpectomies that were “luckily” both benign.

Mark later went on The Golden Bachelorette in 2024 before meeting his current girlfriend, One Tree Hill alum Barbara Alyn Woods.

Lenny Kravitz is “Sittin’ on Top of the World” as a devoted father to daughter Zoë Kravitz.

Lenny and ex-wife Lisa Bonet welcomed their only child together in December 1988. The couple, who married one year earlier, ultimately split in 1993 but remained committed to coparenting Zoë. (Bonet also shares two younger children, daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf, with ex-husband Jason Momoa, whom she split from in 2022.)

“What you see is what it is. We are one family,” Lenny said during an October 2020 interview on the“Carlos Watson Show” podcast. “Yes, we split back then [but we] worked it out because that is what you do. There was no choice in that matter [and] it’s a blessing. Been wonderful for Zoë to be able to see her parents like that. I forget that people don’t operate that way in so many cases.”

As Zoë grew up, she followed both her parents into Hollywood and made her own name as an actress. According to Lenny, she even tried to change her name professionally.

“I understood it,” he told Esquire in a November 2023 profile. “But I was like, ‘That’s your name.’”

Keep scrolling for the “American Woman” rockstar’s honest quotes about fatherhood through the years:

October 2010

“It makes it kind of impossible,” Lenny joked about dating as a single parent during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “[Zoë is] extremely critical. I thought I was the dad and I had to screen the boyfriends, but it’s kind of the other way around.”

June 2019

Lenny gushed to People that he’s learned about “love, respect, and hard work, honor, and discipline” since becoming a dad before theorizing what it will be like to watch Zoë get married.

“When that happens it’ll be a trip and emotional for all the reasons anybody would understand, but also because that’s the one thing my mother [Roxie Roker] talked about before she died that she wanted to live long enough to see her granddaughter get married,” he said of his mother, who died of breast cancer in 1995. “When my mother passed, [Zoë] was young. She remembers her and has really fond memories, but it didn’t get to the point where they’d get into deep conversation.”

Zoë got engaged to Karl Glusman in 2018, and they wed the following year. They split in 2021 after 18 months of marriage.

October 2020

Lenny revealed to Access Hollywood that parenting “came naturally to [him].”

“I knew what I didn’t want to be,” he said before referencing his estranged relationship with father Sy Kravitz. “Because our relationship was what it was, that’s fine. What I got to see was what a great grandfather he was. So, I got to see that and experience that and my daughter got to experience that.”

Lenny also discussed watching Zoë grow up in the shadow of famous parents. “What’s great about her is that she’s always been her own person,” he added. “She didn’t want people judging her and seeing her in a certain way because of who her parents were, and that’s wonderful because a lot of kids like to use that for the attention.”

November 2020

“People can’t believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zoë’s mom, how we all relate. We just do it because that’s what you do,” he told Men’s Health of his blended family. “You let love rule, right? I mean, obviously, after a breakup, it’s work — it takes some work and time, healing and reflection.”

Lenny hinted to Extra about the possibility of making music with Zoë.

“You know, that’s something I always thought about,” he explained. “The right thing at the right time [but] I’d love to work with my daughter one day on something just because I think she’s great. If she wasn’t my daughter, I would still feel the same way about her.”

Zoë also has musical talents, even helping pal Taylor Swift write songs for 2022’s Midnights.

November 2023

“I wouldn’t think of it as this heroic feat. This is just normal to me,” he told Esquire about coparenting, going on to reveal if he wants to have more kids. “I could not, and I could. If it doesn’t happen, I’ve done the best with Zoë that I could ever dream to do. If I was with somebody that wanted to have kids, absolutely. A hundred percent.”

January 2024

Us confirmed in 2023 that Zoë had gotten engaged to actor Channing Tatum after two years of dating. (News broke in October 2024 that the pair ended their engagement.)

“Hey man, that’s life. When your family is happy, when your child is happy, that’s it,” Lenny gushed to Entertainment Tonight. “I’ve done well. Blessed.”

February 2025

During an interview with The Times of London, Lenny stressed, “I love being her father” before approving her remarks during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. (When Lenny received his star in March 2024, Zoë roasted his penchant for sheer, nipple-baring tops.)

“Oh, wasn’t that fabulous?” Lenny recalled to the outlet. “You see, that’s what your daughter’s supposed to do. That is absolutely exactly what your daughter is supposed to do, and she told the truth. She’s dry, but she told the truth.”

Elsewhere in the profile, Lenny addressed the possibility of becoming a grandfather. (Zoë, however, has previously been candid about her indecision in having children.)

“Of course. If it happens. Yeah, if it happens. It feels weird, just hearing the word,” he said. “Probably, because I still feel like a kid. I honestly still feel like a kid.”
