Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid have been by each other’s side for years before the It Ends With Us star became involved in a lengthy legal battle with costar Justin Baldoni.

The duo, who were first photographed together in 2014, have been spotted on several occasions with their fellow, shared BFF Taylor Swift. Four years later, the trio celebrated New Years Eve with several other celeb pals in tow.

In 2024, Hadid stepped out with Lively to attend husband Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine premiere. The pair honored the MCU characters via their attire, with Hadid rocking a yellow get-up and Lively donning a red outfit. Hadid, for her part, also weighed in on Lively’s It Ends With Us film, which was set to be released one month later. “It is actually so good,” Hadid told E! News. “I’m not paid to say it. It’s great.”

Months later, Lively made headlines when she accused her It Ends With Us costar and director, in part, of sexual harassment. Baldoni has denied all allegations against him. While fans decoded Swift’s feelings about the legal battle (her name has been brought up on multiple occasions), a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Hadid had “naturally’ distanced herself from Lively.

Gigi Hadid 'Naturally' Distanced From Blake Lively Amid Taylor Swift Drama

July 2024

The twosome attended Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine premiere, where Lively joked that her husband was crashing a girls’ night out.

“He’s such a hen. He can hang with men, but he’s really a hen at heart,” she told Entertainment Tonight, while Hadid added, “He loves a girls’ night and to hear all the goss.”

May 2025

Amid Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Baldoni, an insider told Us that Hadid has “always had a closer friendship with Taylor and stands by her.” The source shared, “She has been a very loyal friend to Taylor, and they have been best friends for a decade now.”

The insider noted that Hadid “hasn’t necessarily chosen sides” between Lively and Swift, but rather that the current status of their inner circle is a “reflection of the closeness her and Taylor have shared over the years.”

The source added that Hadid and Lively “really haven’t been as close in almost a year” but there are “no hard feelings” between the two.

“As Taylor has begun to distance herself from Blake, Gigi has naturally done the same,” the insider said. “The shift wasn’t abrupt, but gradual and organic change in dynamics.”

While Swift and Lively’s friendship has allegedly changed amid the legal battle, Hadid “doesn’t want to be involved at all,” the source said. “They haven’t been in touch much this year and it does have everything to do with the lawsuit.”

An investigation into the death of influencer Emilie Kiser’s son Trigg is ongoing.

The Chandler, Arizona, Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly on Sunday, May 18, that Trigg died at age 3. Days earlier, Trigg was pulled unconscious from the family’s backyard pool.

“The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident remain ongoing. This is still an open investigation,” the department said in a statement to Us. “Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we will not be releasing additional details until the investigation is closed.”

Emilie, who has amassed more than 1 million followers on Instagram and 3 million on TikTok, welcomed son Trigg in July 2021 with husband Brady Kiser.

“We are smitten with all his tiny features and love him so much,” she captioned Instagram images of the newborn. The couple, who tied the knot in 2020, added son Teddy to their family in March.

Emilie’s followers have flooded her Instagram posts with condolences. “When one mama cries, we all cry. Emilie and Brady you are so loved ,” one fan wrote via Instagram, while another added, “Love you Emilie and Brady! We’re all holding you .”

Trigg was found unconscious from the family’s backyard pool on the evening of May 12. Two days later, the Chandler Fire Department told local Arizona news outlet 12 News that a 3-year-old boy — later identified as Trigg — was in critical condition. Police officers reportedly arrived at the scene and began performing CPR before firefighters took over life-saving measures. He was subsequently flown to Phoenix Children’s Hospital for further treatment.

While Trigg was not initially identified, speculation began swirling online that the 3-year-old could be Kiser’s son after her followers noticed she had not posted on social media in days.

“Emily [sic] i hope you are okay. i feel sick!! ,” one user wrote in the comments section of her latest TikTok post, while another added, “Please be a bad rumor I’m sick.”

Cassie is turning the page on a new chapter after her emotional testimony in the trial of ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs.

“It’s been a very hard time for Cassie. It’s been heartbreaking and horrific for her to relive these awful memories,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “She has had many years of trauma therapy to try and cope with what happened to her.”

The insider notes that the past few months leading up to the trial have been “nerve-racking, stressful and exhausting” for Cassie, who “feels relieved that the time has come and she can put this behind her.”

“Cassie’s been trying to manage her stress levels as she is in her last trimester of her pregnancy and is going to give birth soon,” the source shares. “It’s been a lot for her emotionally and physically.”

Cassie Speaks Out Following Her Emotional Testimony in Diddy Trial

Cassie (real name Casandra Ventura), who is pregnant with her and Alex Fine’s third baby, has had her husband by her side. The insider notes that Fine, 32, has been Cassie’s “saving grace through it all.” (The couple share Frankie, 5, and Sunny, 4.)

“She credits him for saving her through the darkest times. He is the most patient and loving person and has never judged her for her past,” the insider says. “Having that kind of unconditional support has meant everything to her. He’s really been her rock through this horrific time. She feels safe with him, something she has never felt before.”

Cassie, who was in an on-and-off relationship with Diddy from 2007 to 2018, now has a “completely opposite” life compared to when she was in her twenties and dating the rap mogul, per the source.

“There was a point in time where she thought Diddy was her soulmate and that they would get married,” the insider adds. “That was long before she realized the dark sinister side of him and discovered just how dark things really were behind the scenes.”

Cassie Gives Emotional Testimony About Diddy Allegedly Raping Her

Following that time in her life, Cassie, 38, has removed herself from the entertainment industry and has started a “peaceful” chapter on the East Coast, per the source.

“She and Alex live a very normal and quiet life now. She isn’t interested in the spotlight or anything to do with Hollywood,” the insider shares. “Her next venture will be philanthropic, and she wants to do something impactful. She is really focused on her family and raising her babies in a peaceful and normal environment right now. It is still hard for her on a day-to-day basis.”

The source claims that Cassie and “the girls cannot leave the house at times” because of the huge public interest in the trial, which is being held in her hometown of New York City. The insider adds, “It has been a frenzy and has taken a toll on their family, especially recently.”

For Cassie, it’s important to “be a good example” for victims and her daughters, per the source.

Inside the Courtroom Dynamic Between Diddy, Cassie and Her Husband Alex Fine

“Every word she speaks, and every action is for her children and to be a good example, especially for women,” the insider says. “She never wants anyone to go through what she’s been through. It’s been the most painful, terrifying experience of her life, but she’s trying to turn that pain into purpose.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Cassie’s rep for comment.

News broke in 2023 that Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of sexual and physical abuse throughout their relationship. He denied her allegations in a statement shared by his attorney.

“Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,” Diddy’s lawyer Ben Brafman said at the time.

Cassie Says She Tried to Walk Into Traffic Due to Diddy Relationship PTSD

Diddy and Cassie settled out of court one day after the lawsuit was filed. In May 2024, CNN published a hotel surveillance video of Diddy kicking and grabbing Cassie inside a hotel in 2016. He later apologized for his actions in a video shared via Instagram.

In September 2024, Diddy was arrested and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Diddy has since been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, with his four requests for bail denied by Judge Arun Subramanian. His trial began earlier this month, with Cassie taking the stand and detailing her relationship with Diddy. In her testimony, Cassie described alleged freak offs, revealed an opioid addiction she claimed she developed during the relationship and claimed that he raped her in 2018. (Diddy has denied allegations of rape.)

Kylie Kelce is all smiles in a new photo with her and husband Jason Kelce’s youngest daughter, Finn.

In a photo shared via the Kelce Brothers’ official Instagram account on Sunday, May 18, Kylie, 33, was carrying Finn in a wrap around her body at the 2025 Eagles Autism Foundation event. While one hand rested on a baby stroller, the other arm was placed around a little boy who smiled for the camera. In another picture, Kylie gave a grin in a selfie. Baby Finn’s face was not visible in the images.

“The Eagles Autism Foundation set a record by raising more than $10 million this year through the Eagles Autism Challenge — $40 million since 2018,” the caption read. “A record number of people participated at 7,266!”

The couple welcomed their fourth daughter in March. “Whoop, there she is!” Kylie captioned an Instagram photo of the newborn, who was born on March 30. “Finnley ‘Finn’ Anne Kelce.”

Kylie and the former Philadelphia Eagles center, 37 — who tied the knot in 2018 — are also parents to daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 4, and Bennett, 2. While reflecting on parenthood, Kylie shared that she thinks she knows why Jason became a girl dad.

“I think he has a very skewed idea of women, which is probably why he has four daughters,” Kylie shared in Us Weekly’s exclusive clip of an April episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, hosted by Amanda Hirsch. “It’s why he was blessed with four daughters. The universe said: ‘He doesn’t get it. We need him to get it.’”

Kylie explained that Jason grew up with brother Travis Kelce, meaning “the only females in his house” were his mom, Donna Kelce, and a dog.

Kylie Kelce Knows Why Husband Jason Kelce 'Was Blessed' With 4 Daughters

“I don’t think that he understood women in a way,” she continued. “When we started dating and he introduced me to his family, his parents were like, ‘Oh, he’s dating someone.’ It was a shock.”

In Kylie’s perspective, there may be a time when Jason is not thrilled to be surrounded by women.

“Like, as soon as we’re all synced up [with our periods], I’m like, ‘You can move out, but you have to visit me,’” she quipped on the podcast, adding that she feels “bad” for what might occur in the future. “I know what our house was like when both my sister and I were, like, synced up and, like, yeah, God.”

Colombian influencer María José Estupiñán has reportedly died after being shot. She was 22.

President of the National Gender Commission of the Colombian Judiciary, Magda Victoria Acosta, claimed Estupiñán was killed on Thursday, May 15, per CNN. The outlet reported that Acosta claimed the suspect who appeared at Estupiñán’s residence was dressed as a delivery man. He allegedly shot her in her home when she opened the door.

“She was a young, enterprising woman with a whole life ahead of her, but those dreams are cut short like the dreams of many women in this country,” Acosta said, per the outlet.

Acosta claimed that Estupiñán was the victim of a domestic violence case and was about to receive financial compensation as a result, CNN reported. She reportedly attended university in Cúcuta near the Venezuela border.

Influencer Shot During TikTok Livestream Was Killed By Hitman: Report

Acosta noted that the commission “very strongly” condemned crime. The incident is being investigated by authorities. Acosta did not indicate whether Estupiñán’s death was a suspected femicide, meaning when a woman is presumed to be killed due to her gender.

Days earlier, news broke that 23-year-old influencer Valeria Márquez was shot dead during a livestream. Denis Rodríguez, a spokesperson for the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office, told AP News that Márquez’s death was still under investigation.

Rodríguez claimed that a man posing as a delivery driver and another man on a motorcycle arrived at a Mexico salon and were hoping to deliver a gift to Márquez in person. Márquez began worrying about the incident on the livestream.

“Maybe they were going to kill me,” Márquez said in the video, per the outlet. “Were they going to come and take me away, or what? I’m worried.”

Influencer ‘Didn’t Have’ a ‘Relationship’ With Murderer: Authorities

The men returned and asked for Márquez again — which led prosecutors to believe that they were hired assassins, per Rodríguez.

“The aggressor arrived asking if the victim was there. So it appears he didn’t know her,” Rodríguez said. “With that, you can deduce — without jumping to conclusions — that this was a person who was paid. It was obviously someone who came with a purpose.”

AP reported that Márquez was handed a stuffed animal and a bag of Starbucks coffee during the livestream, where she was shot and collapsed. Following her death, her TikTok appeared to be taken down, but a video of the incident circulated online and was confirmed by the prosecutor’s office.

Per the outlet, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her administration is working with local investigators to locate the assassin and extended her condolences to Márquez’s family. The prosecutor’s office previously told The New York Times that the incident was being investigated as a potential femicide.

Mariska Hargitay made headlines when she revealed that her biological father was not Mickey Hargitay — but was, instead, Nelson Sardelli.

Mariska was born in 1964 to late actress Jayne Mansfield, who died in a June 1967 car crash. The incident left the Law & Order: SVU star, who was 3 at the time, with severe injuries.

The 2025 documentary My Mom Jayne explores Jayne’s life before and after the car accident, including Mariska’s mom’s split from Mickey and brief romance with Nelson. Jayne called it quits with Mickey and reunited with Nelson before Mariska’s birth in 1964. The pair divorced that year.

Mickey raised Mariska and siblings Mickey Jr. and Zoltán, uncovering the truth about her biological father’s identity in her 20s when she saw a picture of Nelson. When she brought it up to Mickey, he denied it. (Jayne was mom to daughter Jayne Marie, born in 1950 with first husband Paul Mansfield and son Tony, born in 1965 with third husband Matt Cimber.)

Mariska went on to meet Nelson when she was 30 years old and claimed she went “full Olivia Benson on him,” referring to her beloved character. “I was like, ‘I don’t want anything, I don’t need anything from you … I have a dad,’” Mariska recalled. “There was something about loyalty. I wanted to be loyal to Mickey.”

Mariska ultimately changed her mind, deciding that she “grew up where [she] was supposed to.” She added, “I do know that everyone made the best choice for me. I’m Mickey Hargitay’s daughter — that is not a lie.”

So who is Nelson? Scroll down to learn more about Mariska’s biological father:

Nelson Has Other Daughters

Mariska told Vanity Fair in 2025 that she and Nelson’s two other daughters, who appeared in the documentary My Mom Jayne, had a private screening for My Mom Jayne.

“They just wept and wept and wept,” Hargitay told the outlet while becoming emotional. “These two women that I love so much — I made them secrets! It’s so heartbreaking to me.”

Mariska explained that she referred to her sisters as “family friends,” adding, “I’m not good with lies. So I also made this movie to unburden all of us.”

Nelson Served in the Army

Norm Clarke’s Vegas Diary reported that Nelson served in the Army for most of 1965 and until 1958. He went on to work in construction before landing a gig singing at an open mic place and pursuing a career in the entertainment industry.

When Mariska was 30, she went to watch Nelson perform in Atlantic City. She claimed to Vanity Fair in 2025 that he became emotional, telling her, “I’ve been waiting 30 years for this moment.”

Nelson Resides in Las Vegas

Norm Clarke’s Vegas Diary reported in 2019 that Nelson has been in Las Vegas since 1965, nearly one decade after immigrating from Brazil. “I came to the United States in 1956, to Pontiac, Michigan, because in Brazil I worked for General Motors, but they were laying off people all over Michigan,” he explained to the outlet.

Nelson Pursued Acting

Nelson appeared in films including 1970’s Myra Breckinridge, 1982’s Fake Out and 2001’s Chilly Dogs.

Nelson Is Active In Philanthropy

The Las Vegas Sun reported in 1998 that Nelson organized “Star Shine” fundraisers, with celebrities shining shoes in return for charity donations.

Meghan McCain is sharing her support for former President Joe Biden after news broke of his cancer diagnosis.

“Cancer is the absolute worst. It is hell,” McCain, 40, wrote via X on Sunday, May 18. “It is incredibly difficult for any family, anywhere that has to deal with it. Wishing nothing but healing, prayers, light and strength to President Biden and his family.”

She concluded, “I don’t believe times like these are appropriate for politics.”

Meghan and Biden, now 82, made headlines in 2017 when he comforted her on the set of The View while breaking down in tears over father John McCain’s cancer battle. (The McCain family shared earlier that year that he was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor.)

Joe Biden Diagnosed With 'Aggressive Form' of Prostate Cancer

At the time, Meghan explained that her father had been diagnosed with the same cancer Biden’s late son, Beau, battled years prior. As Meghan became tearful, Biden moved seats to be closer to her.

“I think about Beau almost every day and I was told — I’m sorry — that this doesn’t get easier, but that you cultivate the tools to work with this and live with this. I know you and your family have been through a tragedy that I couldn’t conceive of,” Meghan said at the time.

Biden went on to reply, “One of the things that gave Beau courage — my word — was John. Your dad, you may remember when you were a little kid, your dad took care of my Beau. Your dad … became friends with Beau. And Beau talked about your dad’s courage, not about illness, about his courage.”

Beau died in 2015 at age 46 after his battle with brain cancer, while the Arizona senator died in August 2018 at the age of 81. On Sunday, news broke that Biden had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Joe Biden Is ‘Concerned’ for King Charles III After His Cancer Diagnosis

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” a statement sent from Biden’s personal office to CNN read. “On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”

The statement continued, “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management.”

His family is currently “reviewing treatment options with his physicians.” Biden’s office previously confirmed that a “small nodule” had been found on his prostate during an annual physical. A statement said at the time, “In a routine physical exam, a small nodule was found in the prostate, which necessitated further evaluation.”

Natalie Portman turned heads in a red number at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

Portman, 43, rocked a red mini dress with a structured skirt and embroidered pattern on Saturday, May 17, in France. She paired the look with a Tiffany & Co. Archives necklace in platinum diamonds Tiffany Victoria Mixed Cluster earrings to the Dior x Madame Figaro dinner.

Days earlier, Portman opened up about her relocation to Paris and explained why she prefers the city over the United States.

“I find the people here are actually incredibly friendly — you just have to know how to interact, so that we’re not the ones being rude,” Portman told Net-a-Porter in a Monday, May 12, cover story. “Now, when I go back to the U.S., I’m like, ‘Oh,’ I would go into a store and not say hello to everyone there? It’s weird.”

Inside Natalie Portman's Romance With Tanguy Destable: She’s ‘Very Happy’

Portman reflected that the cultural differences are what prompted people to make assumptions about rudeness.

“I think we have an assumption that western cultures are all the same – and kind of evened out by all this pop culture that everyone consumes,” she explained. “It’s not true: it’s extremely specific here; and the culture is very different in both deep and surface ways.”

The actress noted that French culture has boundaries when it comes to celebrities. “They’re very good at privacy here,” she gushed. “I feel like the biggest compliment is ‘elle est très discrète’ [‘she is very discreet’].”

Portman moved to France with kids Aleph, 13, and Amalia, 8, whom she shares with ex-husband Benjamin Millepied.

Natalie Portman Dating Musician Tanguy Destable After Divorce: Reports

“All the kids that come to my house are, like, ‘Bonjour Madame’ — and give me the bise [cheek-to-cheek kiss],” Portman said. “And before they leave, they are, like, ‘Thank you for having me’ — and if I’m not nearby, they’ll come and find me to say it.”

Portman and Millepied finalized their divorce in February, one month before Us Weekly confirmed that she was pursuing a relationship with music producer Tanguy Destable.

“Natalie and Tanguy have been seeing each other for a few months,” a source exclusively told Us in March, adding that it hasn’t been “too long, but they are having a great time together.”

The insider noted that Destable, 44, is “very outgoing and boisterous” and “is really into” Portman. The pair have a “few mutual friends,” which is how Destable and Portman initially met. A separate source added, “Natalie is very happy with Tanguy.”

Queen Camilla is all smiles while cuddling up with new rescue dog, Moley.

Camilla, 77, sat down outside while wearing a floral dress and purple cardigan and clutched Moley to her chest as she looked at the camera, in a picture shared via Instagram on Sunday, May 18.

“Meet mischievous Moley, The Queen’s new much-loved canine companion who was recently adopted from @Battersea where Her Majesty is Patron,” the caption of the royal family’s official Instagram read. “ Tomorrow, The Queen will visit @The_RHS and @BBCRadio2 Dog Garden at Chelsea Flower Show.”

The garden, which was designed with dogs at the focus, featured “grass areas for dogs to enjoy and a large tree providing shade.”

King Charles and Queen Camilla Have a New Rescue Puppy: Get the Details!

“The brick paths are inscribed with the names of dogs belonging to Radio 2 presenters and RHS ambassadors, as well as Monty Don’s beloved dog Ned, to reflect the special place dogs hold in the nation’s hearts and gardens,” the caption read. “The names of The Queen’s adopted Jack Russell Terrier, Bluebell and her new puppy, Moley, will feature on the path, alongside that of her much loved dog Beth, who passed away last year.”

Snuff — the dog of Camilla’s husband, King Charles III — will also be included on the path. (Camila and Charles, 76, tied the knot in 2005, nearly two decades before he was crowned King.)

“The Garden for Dogs will live on after RHS Chelsea, at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home,” the caption concluded.

Camilla shared in February that she and Charles adopted a new dog following the November 2024 death of Beth, the couple’s late Jack Russell terrier. (Camilla and Charles rescued Beth in 2011 and added another Jack Russell terrier named Bluebell to their family the following year, the Daily Mail reported.)

“I’ve just got a new puppy, who is 8 weeks old,” Camilla said, while patting an assistance dog in a video shared to X by the Daily Mail’s royal editor Rebecca English. “It’s a rescue dog. It’s called Moley — it looks just like a mole.”

Moley was adopted from Battersea, an animal rescue center in the U.K., where Camilla is a patron.

“We’re pleased to confirm that Battersea has recently rehomed an 8-week-old Jack Russell terrier cross female puppy, called Moley, to our Patron, Her Majesty The Queen,” a spokesperson for Battersea told the Daily Mail. “The Queen has long been a supporter of Battersea’s work and has previously rehomed two rescue dogs from our charity.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ daughters Jessie and D’Lila Combs had a night out at their high school prom amid his ongoing sex trafficking trial.

The 18-year-old twins reportedly attended the Los Angeles event on Saturday, May 17, which was held at the Harbour House, according to photos obtained by Backgrid. The duo coordinated looks in red off-the-shoulder floor-length dresses with matching corsages.

While being carried into the event by their dates, Jessie and D’Lila were asked why they had arrived late. “The party doesn’t start until we walk in. Saved the best for last,” they replied, per People.

Combs shared Jessie and D’Lila with Kim Porter, who died in November 2018 at 47 years of age. Combs and Porter also welcomed son Christian, 27, and the rap mogul adopted Porter’s son Quincy Brown, now 33, whom she previously welcomed with Al B. Sure.

Combs is also the dad of son Justin Combs, 31, whom he welcomed with Misa Hylton and 18-year-old daughter Chance Combs, whom he shares with Sarah Chapman in 2006. Combs welcomed his youngest daughter, Love, with Dana Train in 2022.

The twins’ prom comes days after the 55-year-old’s trial began on May 5. Jessie and D’Lila made an appearance alongside Christian, Justin and Quincy and Diddy’s mom, Janice Combs, on Monday, May 12. The twins reportedly left the courtroom twice on Monday as sex worker Daniel Phillip testified about alleged interactions with Diddy and Cassie, who dated on and off from 2007 to 2018.

Diddy's Twins Reflect on ‘Extremely Difficult’ Years Since Losing Mom

In September 2024, Diddy was arrested and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

His arrest came nearly one year after Cassie filed a lawsuit against him accusing him of sexual and physical abuse throughout their relationship. He denied her claims in a statement shared by his attorney.

“Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,” Diddy’s lawyer Ben Brafman said at the time.

Diddy's Daughters Reportedly Left Court During Escort's Shocking Testimony

Diddy and Cassie settled out of court one day after the lawsuit was filed. In May 2024, CNN published a hotel surveillance video of Diddy kicking and grabbing Cassie in 2016. He later apologized for his actions in a video shared via Instagram.

Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest. His four requests for bail were denied by Judge Arun Subramanian.

Allison Holker is reflecting on how her outlook has changed after the death of late husband Steven “tWitch” Boss.

“I think from experiencing loss, I really grew a lot when it came to the comparison and not comparing myself to others, because when I lost Steven — my late husband, two years ago — the things I miss about him are what he probably would have thought were his flaws,” Holker, 37, said on the Sunday, May 18, episode of the “Between Us” podcast. “Or the things that he thought, like, ‘Oh, I’m sorry if this is annoying,’ or, ‘I do this,’ or like, ‘These are weird habits that I have.’ But those are the things I wish I could have back.”

Holker recalled the couple, who were married for nine years tWitch died by suicide in 2022, always joking that he would leave the lid off of the toothpaste.

“It was so annoying, the toothpaste would get all over our sink. But I miss that,” she said. “He would leave his stuff everywhere, and I miss that clutter sometimes, you know what I mean? There’s certain things that he would think were, like, bad habits, and he thinks that those were bad — and we think those kinds of things about ourselves are bad — but those are things you miss about someone because it’s what makes them unique.”

Allison Holker Read Husband Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' Journals After His Death

Boss welcomed son Maddox and daughter Zaia in 2016 and 2019, respectively, with Holker before his untimely death. (Holker is also mom to 16-year-old daughter Weslie, whom she welcomed in a previous relationship.)

Years after Boss’ death, Holker shared Boss’ alleged personal information — including an alleged substance abuse issue and alleged childhood sexual abuse — in her memoir, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss and Embracing the Light. Boss’ family, including mom Connie Boss Alexander, went on to speak out against Holker’s claims and alleged they would be seeking “legal counsel” over the unproven statements” in her memoir.

“As a family we have repeatedly shown compassion toward Allison despite her disrespectful and evasive actions since Stephen’s passing,” Alexander’s February statement read, in part. “Her portrayal of Stephen appears to reshape his story into a narrative that aligns with her perspective.”

After Boss’ family spoke out in January, Holker addressed the drama in her own statement.

“I hope that by sharing our full story maybe I can help someone else who might see themselves or a loved one in Stephen,” she wrote. “In sharing I hope that maybe they can catch some of the red flags that I missed before it’s too late.”

Influencer Valeria Márquez, who was shot dead in Mexico during a TikTok livestream, may have reportedly been murdered by a hitman, per prosecutors.

Denis Rodríguez, a spokesperson for the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office, told AP News that the 23-year-old influencer’s death was still under investigation.

Before Márquez was murdered, Rodríguez claimed that a man posing as a delivery driver and another man on a motorcycle arrived at the salon located in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara. The men were looking to deliver a gift to Márquez in person — which prompted her to worry in the livestream.

“Maybe they were going to kill me,” Márquez said in the video, per the outlet. “Were they going to come and take me away, or what? I’m worried.”

Influencer ‘Didn’t Have’ a ‘Relationship’ With Murderer: Authorities

When the men returned, they searched for Márquez again. Rodríguez told the outlet that the men asking for Márquez led prosecutors to believe that they were hired assassins.

“The aggressor arrived asking if the victim was there. So it appears he didn’t know her,” Rodríguez said. “With that, you can deduce — without jumping to conclusions — that this was a person who was paid. It was obviously someone who came with a purpose.”

AP reported that Márquez was handed a stuffed animal and a bag of Starbucks coffee while she was on the livestream and collapsed on camera after being shot. (Márquez’s TikTok appeared to be taken down following her death, but a video of the incident circulated online and was confirmed by the prosecutor’s office.)

Per the outlet, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her administration is working with local investigators to locate the killer, and extended her condolences to Márquez’s family.

What to Know About Influencer Reportedly Murdered During Livestream

News broke of Márquez’s death earlier this month, with users taking to her Instagram — which has amassed more than 475,000 followers — to share their condolences.

“I had the opportunity to meet her in person, a person with a very beautiful energy,” one user wrote via Instagram, translated to English. “[I] am still in shock, [I] can’t believe I will never see her [livestream] again.”

Rodríguez previously told The New York Times that it was likely the men did not know Márquez.

“They didn’t have a personal relationship,” he explained to the outlet. “He was simply her executioner.”

The prosecutor’s office told The New York Times that the crime was being investigated as a potential “femicide,” meaning when a woman is presumed to be killed due to her gender.

Melanie Brown escaped to the countryside for a quieter pace after years in the spotlight.

“When I bought the farm originally [in 2024], it was just a little barn that had no running water or electricity,” Brown, 49, exclusively shared in the latest Us Weekly cover story.

Brown (known as Mel B) — who’s sprawling 15-acre property is located in the Yorkshire countryside — now has three goats, chickens, ducks and two “massive” Rottweilers. “I just feel like sometimes animals are nicer than people,” she quipped.

The former Spice Girl made sure to bring her 8-year-old “emotional support” Yorkshire terrier–Chihuahua mix, Cookie, to her new property. “She shakes more than I shake, so who’s supporting who?” Brown joked.

Brown, who opened up to Us about finding happiness again after a dark time, shared how she navigates her mental health struggles while in the public eye.

“I make sure I have my brain breaks where I go to Thailand by myself. I go up to my farm without my phone so my kids or fiancé can’t contact me unless they come all the way up to [a different] field,” she said, referring to fiancé Rory McPhee. “I make space to be able to breathe and feel and sit.”

Brown noted that she’s using her voice to help “as many women as possible, especially survivors of abuse,” as a patron for the domestic violence charity Women’s Aid. (Brown shared in her 2018 memoir, Brutally Honest, that she attempted to take her own life four years prior.)

“I’m getting to know myself more and more, especially where I’ve come from, feeling so unconfident and unworthy,” Brown told Us. “I’ve managed to figure out my little road to a peaceful place.”

Influencer Jordan Howlett is reflecting on his rise to fame online — and the advice he’d give the younger generation.

“I said this the other day and I mean, I think it holds true. … Don’t give up. You know, whatever you’re passionate about, whatever you love, keep going for it, ” Howlett, 27, exclusively told Us Weekly at the 2025 Webby Awards. “All the people that you see succeed in the biggest realms of stuff, it wasn’t just ‘cause they were talented, it’s because they persevered. So just keep persevering.”

Howlett, who has made videos with celebrities like Donald Glover and Method Man, gushed to Us that being at the New York City awards show “means the world.”

“It means the world to me because everyone who has tried to make content, who’s enjoyed content, who watches [content] because it relaxes them or calms down or people who make it to calm their fans down, it means the world,” he told Us. “So the fact that I’m around so much talent and so much greatness, I’m grateful. I’m humble.”

Megan Thee Stallion Says Black Female Artists Don't Get Many 'Options'

Howlett, known as Jordan the Stallion on TikTok, has amassed more than 14 million followers on the social media app. Howlett explained in a 2024 interview with Complex that his name was a “joke.”

“At the time, I was in college, and Megan Thee Stallion was really starting to get super big and popular. I played baseball and for baseball, people pride themselves on your leg strength, or you got to be able to squat real heavy in order to make it to the next level of things. I had just hit a max of I think 600 pounds or so,” Howlett said. “I was really feeling myself, so I was like, ‘Oh, I guess I got thick legs. I’m Jordan the Stallion.’”

Howlett shared that he changed his Instagram account to the name, but “didn’t think much of it” since he was playing sports and wasn’t prioritizing social media.

“So I kind of just kept the name in there and then when I started making videos, I just forgot to take it off and then it got so big to where the minute that somebody referenced me as that, I’m like, ‘Well, it’s too late now,’” he told the outlet. “But I don’t mind it. I like the name.”

While Howlett has publicly confirmed his age, the influencer said many don’t believe he’s telling the truth — which he said has been happening his entire life — because of his more mature look.

“I’ll run into people in real life, whether it be in an airport or a public setting, and they’ll pull me in real close and they’re like, ‘Hey, between me and you, really, how old are you?’ And I’m like, ‘27.’ And they’re like, ‘No, seriously. It’s just between me and you,’” he said. “They really think it’s a gag. They think it’s a joke. They think that I am doing it for the social media aspect. That’s just my existence.”

Pope Leo XIV’s family has been cheering him as he reaches major milestone moments.

Cardinal Robert Prevost, now known as Pope Leo, was born to Louis Marius Prevost and Mildred Martínez in September 1955. He was raised in Chicago alongside brothers Louis Martin Prevost and John Joseph Prevost. In 2025, Leo made history when he was elected as the first American-born pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church.

For John, Leo’s hope in becoming the 267th pope was not a surprise. “Some people play school or some people play army, he played priest, and we had to go to Mass,” he recalled to ABC News in 2025 of their childhood. “He knew right then and there that this is not a joke. … The women down the street said he would be the first American pope. Since first grade, they said that.”

Louis, for his part, told ABC News, “He was elected, I got up immediately, got dressed, dancing around like an idiot, just because it’s incredible.”

The New York Times reported that Leo has Creole roots, noting that his maternal grandparents lived in New Orleans’ Seventh Ward. Per the outlet, Mildred was born in Chicago in 1912.

Per the Chicago Tribune, Mildred was raised in Chicago with five sisters and graduated from Immaculata High School in 1929. The outlet reported that Mildred and Luis received graduate degrees from an education program at DePaul University in 1949.

Mildred served as a librarian at Mendel Catholic High School from 1969 to 1975. She died in 1990.

Dad Louis Marius Prevost

John told The New York Times in 2025 that their paternal grandparents were from France, with his father born in the United States. Louis was born in Chicago, according to his obituary.

The Chicago Tribune reported that Louis received a degree from Woodrow Wilson Junior College in 1940, earning his graduate degree from an education program at DePaul University in 1949 – the same year as Mildred.

Per NBC News, Louis served in the Navy during World War II and was a superintendent of schools in the south suburbs of Chicago. He died in 1997, seven years after Mildred.

Tiffany Trump and husband Michael Boulos have welcomed their first child together.

“Welcome to the world our sweet baby boy, Alexander Trump Boulos. We love you beyond words! Thank you for coming into our lives! 5.15.2025,” she wrote via social media on Thursday, May 15.

Alongside the message, Trump shared a black-and-white photograph holding her newborn son’s foot.

News broke of Tiffany’s pregnancy in October 2024 when her father, President Donald Trump, made the announcement at a campaign stop in Michigan. (Donald welcomed Tiffany with ex-wife Marla Maples. He also shares Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric with late ex-wife, Ivana Trump, and Baron with his wife, Melania Trump.)

A post shared by Tiffany Trump (@tiffanytrump)

At the time, he praised Michael’s dad, Massad Boulos. “He happens to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy,” Donald stated at the time. “And she’s an exceptional young woman. And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice.”

Months later, Tiffany took to her Instagram Story to share a picture cradling her bump while wearing a flowing blue gown at her baby shower. “1 month,” she captioned the May photo, while also sharing snaps of the event’s Peter Rabbit-themed decor — which included blue macarons and sugar cookies decorated with blue frosting.

Tiffany and Michael first crossed paths while vacationing in Mykonos, Greece, in 2018. Less than one year later, the couple made their relationship Instagram official. He popped the question in January 2021.

“It has been an honor to celebrate many milestones, historic occasions and create memories with my family here at the White House, none more special than my engagement to my amazing fiancé Michael!” Tiffany captioned an Instagram photo with Michael at the White House. “Feeling blessed and excited for the next chapter!”

The pair tied the knot at the family’s Florida Mar-A-Lago resort in November 2022. “@tiffanytrump I will love you forever! 11.12.2022,” Michael wrote alongside photos from their wedding via Instagram at the time.

Maples celebrated Tiffany’s milestone at the time, sharing a montage of photos of them through the years. “Tiffany Ariana: Once I held you in my arms • Now as I watch you move forward with love • know you’ll always be my baby, now and beyond your wedding day ,” she captioned the November 2022 Instagram video. “Love, Mom.”

One year after saying “I do,” Tiffany commemorated her and Michael’s milestone anniversary. She wrote via Instagram in November 2023, “Happy anniversary my love! So grateful to walk through life with you! .”

Eagle-eyed fans noticed two familiar faces while watching the chaotic Halloween party on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

On season 2 of the hit ABC reality show, influencer Aspyn Ovard could be seen talking to Bachelor Nation’s Hakeem Moulton as a fight broke out. (Taylor Frankie Paul confronted Chase McWhorter about their past, but in a surprising twist her on and off boyfriend Dakota Mortensen chose Chase’s side.)

As costar Mayci Neeley told Taylor she should “deescalate” things, Hakeem appeared to be watching the interaction while chatting in a group. Hakeem rocked a blue tracksuit outfit complete with a white bucket hat and gold necklaces with the money sign, while Aspyn donned a white wedding dress.

Before the season aired, Aspyn — who divorced Parker Ferris in 2024 — admitted that she had one of her first intimate experiences with a girl after the Halloween party. (The pair, who were married for nine years, are parents to three children.)

“I went to this Halloween party and I was, like, dressed up as a bride. … It was an ironic costume. I was wearing my wedding ring,” Aspyn said on the Tuesday, May 13, episode of the “For the Girls With Becca Moore” podcast. “I got back from the party and she came over and I was still wearing the costume and we were, like, sitting on my couch. I was in Utah. … I was, like, sitting there, like, ‘OK, we are going to kiss.’ I was like, ‘Wait, I’m going to take off my wedding ring, and then I’m going to kiss you.’ It was funny because I was dressed as a bride.”

Aspyn went on to explain her connection to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives after being asked whether she was “involved” in the show.

“I’m not, like, involved with it. But I know all those girls,” she explained. “I wasn’t on the show, but I went to … that’s the party that I just said that I went to, that I was dressed as a bride.”

Aspyn Ovard Details Kissing a Girl After Coming Out Post-Divorce

Hakeem, for his part, made headlines in 2024 with his reaction to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 1 trailer — which played during a live episode of The Bachelorette. (Hakeem vied for the affections of season 21 lead Jenn Tran, who ultimately ended the show engaged to Devin Strader. The pair split before the live portion of the finale.)

Hakeem has since struck up a friendship with the stars of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, including Demi Engemann and husband Bret Engemann. In April, Hakeem celebrated Easter with the couple and shared several snaps of the trio attending church together.

“Celebrated the resurrection with people who feel like home,” Hakeem wrote via Instagram at the time. “The love runs deep, the laughs are loud, and the bond is real. Grateful for this kind of family.”

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 is currently streaming on Hulu.

New details have emerged after influencer Valeria Márquez was shot and killed during a livestream.

The state prosecutor’s office confirmed to The New York Times that the 23-year-old influencer was murdered at a beauty salon on Tuesday, May 13, in Jalisco, Mexico. Denis Rodríguez, a spokesman for the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office, told the outlet that two men pulled up to the salon outside on a motorbike, with one entering the establishment wearing a mask.

“He asked her directly: ‘Are you Valeria?’” Rodríguez said, to which she replied, “Yes.”

The man shot her with a gun while she was sitting in a chair at the salon, which is located in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, holding a pink stuffed pig. Márquez was allegedly on a livestream during the time of the incident, where she was seen collapsing on camera. The man fled the scene on a motorbike.

When investigators later arrived “she was still sitting in the chair, where she was surprised, with that doll, the little pig, right there in her arms,” Rodríguez said.

The prosecutor’s office told the outlet it did not have any suspects, but was looking through surveillance footage and Márquez’s social media for clues on the murderer. Rodríguez explained that it was likely that the men — who had been to the salon earlier in the day, attempting to deliver a gift to Márquez — didn’t know the influencer as they had to ask for her name.

“They didn’t have a personal relationship,” he explained to the outlet. “He was simply her executioner.”

The prosecutor’s office shared to The New York Times that the crime was being investigated as a potential “femicide,” meaning when a woman is presumed to be killed due to her gender.

After news broke of her death, users flooded the social media account of Márquez — who amassed over 140,000 followers on Instagram. (Márquez’s TikTok appeared to have been taken down following the incident, but a video of the attack circulated online and was confirmed by the prosecutor’s office.)

“I had the opportunity to meet her in person, a person with a very beautiful energy,” one user wrote via Instagram, translated to English. “[I] am still in shock, [I] can’t believe I will never see her [livestream] again.”

NBC Los Angeles reported that Forensic Medical Services would transfer the victim’s body to their facilities. An autopsy will be performed and official identification by family members is pending.

Fans of the TikTok couple know Jett Puckett doesn’t shy away from showering wife Campbell “Pookie” Puckett with love — in the form of luxurious gifts.

Jett and Campbell, who tied the knot in 2018, rose to online fame in 2024 after he referred to her as “Pookie” in her daily outfit videos. The couple’s catchphrase quickly became ingrained in user’s minds and Jett and Pookie embraced it — with him purchasing her a custom Christian Dior bag monogrammed with the nickname in June 2024.

Months later, the pair welcomed daughter Paloma — shortly after Jett gave Campbell an estimated $34,500 Hermès bag.

“It is officially time for her push present,” Jett said in a November 2024 TikTok, while Campbell lay in the hospital bed. In the clip, he handed his wife the bag and noted that the gift was “the second most exciting thing of the day.”

In honor of Mother’s Day, Jett surprised Campbell with a David Yurman gift bag. “Oh my Gosh. I’m excited. I have no idea what it is,” she replied in May 2025, while unboxing the present. “This is so sweet. I can’t believe it’s my first Mother’s Day.”

Jett explained it was the David Yurman pave crossover necklace, which sells on the website for as low as $5,950 with some styles priced up to $12,000.

“Pookie, there’s more good news. Reach back into the bag and you’ll find out Paloma got you a little something as well,” Jett said, while Campbell unwrapped matching David Yurman pave crossover earrings. The jewelry ranges in price from $5,800 to $14,500 online.

Jake Shane is taking a page out of Taylor Swift’s book of advice.

Shane, 25 — who recently attended Northeastern University’s graduation, where pal Elliot Grainge was the commencement speaker — weighed in on what words of wisdom he would want to dispense to his alma mater.

“I think it’s similar,” Shane exclusively told Us Weekly on the Webby Awards red carpet. “I think Taylor Swift said this once, but it was like, ‘If people are talking about something you’re doing or, like, making fun of you, you’re doing something right.’ … I took that to heart.”

Shane, known as @octopusslover8 on TikTok, rose to stardom on the social media app in 2024 with his Gen Z twist on historical events. Now, Shane is still creating content — while balancing his “Therapuss” podcast, Live With Jake Shane Tour and a guest role on Hacks.

“I didn’t get the first role I auditioned for, but then they presented me a second role and I just kept trying,” Shane explained to Us at the awards show. “I did everything I could and shout-out [creators] Paul [W. Downs], Lucia [Aniello] and Jen [Statsky]. They are out of this world. Incredible, the whole Hacks team is just amazing. It couldn’t have been a better experience.”

News broke in April that Shane would play “Social Media Girlie” in season 4 of Hacks, which centers around a mentorship between legendary comedian Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and comedy writer (Hannah Einbinder).

Before his role was announced, Shane teased the part in an interview with Us. “I really want to get into acting. I just did my first acting thing. It’s not announced yet. It’s small, but it’s really, really, really cool, and I’m really excited about that,” Shane said in March. “So hopefully that opens more doors. I’m really, really hoping to get into that.”

Shane, whose A-lister pals include Sofia Richie Grainge and Joe Jonas, told Us he has received tips from Glen Powell along the way.

“I do actually always ask Glen for advice, and he always gives me really, really great advice,” Shane said of Powell, whom he called “one of the busiest people” he had ever met. “It’s a business where you hear ‘no’ a lot. So if you have something going for you that’s working, keep pushing forward with that while working on it. Don’t just forgo everything just for this, you know?”
