Revisiting the Most Shocking ‘Love Is Blind’ Breakups After the Reunions

24 May 2025 at 14:02

Not every Love Is Blind couple is built to last.

After finding love and getting married during season 3, Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton announced their breakup in May 2025 after four years together.

“We’ve been separated for some time now and have [done] our best to work through everything privately and with care,” Colleen and Matt wrote in a joint Instagram statement. “This was an incredibly difficult decision, not one we made lightly. It came with a lot of thought and it’s been an emotional process for both of us.”

Weeks earlier, Colleen exclusively told Us Weekly that she and Matt dealt with “so many challenges” in their marriage.

“You have your own everyday challenges that you go through in a relationship and a marriage,” Colleen told Us in April 2025. “With everything, it’s definitely a pressure cooker, so you just have to be strong with yourself and with your relationship.”

Colleen and Matt are not the only Love Is Blind couple whose relationship fell apart after leaving both the pod experiment and the reunion hand-in-hand. Keep scrolling for more:

Ashley and Tyler got married during season 7 after overcoming his secret confession that he fathered three children via sperm donation. She announced their separation in January 2025, filing for divorce the following May.
“He should have never went on the show,” Ashley claimed of her now-ex on the “What’s the Reality?” podcast in May 2025, alleging that Tyler “presented” himself as being ready to tie the knot when the opposite was seemingly true. “This was a mind[f***] for me, big time, trying to rationalize how he slipped through the cracks. He presented himself as that man during filming, to the point that everybody loved him. He’s very charismatic … [and] he seemed like he was ready for an honest marriage.”
Tyler, meanwhile, said in a social media statement that he respected “Ashley’s decision” to end their marriage.
“I respect Ashley’s decision to move forward in a way that prioritizes her peace and happiness,” he wrote. “Ashley is an incredible woman, and I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for the love and support she has given me. I ask for kindness and understanding as we both move forward separately, focusing on healing and growth.”

In their May 2025 statement, the ballet dancer and Matt reflected on the “emotional process” of breaking up.
“We met in the most unique and unexpected way, and we’ll always be grateful for the love and memories we’ve shared,” the statement read. “There’s not one thing we would change and we continue to have deep respect and care for one another. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. We kindly ask for compassion as we navigate this transition."

After appearing on season 2, Danielle filed for divorce in August 2022, just two months after the pair celebrated their first wedding anniversary. She later cited that they had personality “incompatibilities.” Months later, Nick told Us that they were no longer in touch.
“We’re still going through it,” Nick told Us in October 2022. “I’m doing OK. I’m not gonna lie and say, ‘Oh, it’s easy,’ or, ‘I’m doing great,’ but I’m doing OK. Losing a relationship that was so meaningful and with someone that you deeply love and care for is never gonna be easy.”
He added, “For my own mental health and healing, I had to create a boundary with her that I’m not engaging anymore. I’m choosing to leave the past behind me and focus on all the stuff I have going on. I don’t wanna live in the past. I don’t want to be in any kind of position where I’m having to defend myself.”
They reunited the next year for an episode of Nick’s “Eyes Wide Open” podcast, demonstrating that they can now be cordial.

Jarrette and Iyanna also broke up in August 2022 after appearing on season 2 of Love Is Blind.
“Divorce really is like a grief and as much as people laugh at how long we were married, I think my expectations made it real. My hope made it real, my effort made it real, my tears made it real,” Iyanna captioned a TikTok video in November 2022, sharing footage of herself in tears after finalizing their divorce. “So, I’m crying for the girl that I was at the beginning of this marriage, when I was so hopeful and had less baggage and I was optimistic and I was healed. I’m crying for that marriage that I thought could work.”
She further claimed that “s*** hit the wall” after the cameras cut.

While SK turned Raven down at the altar during season 3, they did get back together. After a few months of dating long distance while SK was in graduate school, they broke up when Raven claimed that her then-boyfriend had been unfaithful.
“There were definitely a lot of moments when I had a very unsettled feeling,” Raven told Us in February 2023. “I don’t know if necessarily they were red flags, but I was ignoring things that I shouldn’t have. I was like, ‘Hmm, something isn’t right here.’ And instead of using my voice and communicating with my partner, I just kind of was like, ‘Oh, I don’t wanna stir up any conflict.’ In the end, it really didn’t serve me. So now I know, like, I need to listen to myself.”
SK, meanwhile, denied that he cheated on Raven and stressed that he hooked up with another woman after he split from the fitness trainer.

After Jackie called off her season 4 engagement to Marshall Glaze, she started seeing fellow contestant Josh. After a year of dating, they broke up due to unknown circumstances.
"I’m still sick about it. I love that man,” Jackie said during a September 2023 TikTok livestream. “I was like, ‘Damn, I had all these life plans with you and then you just don’t even care.’ And I’m like, ‘That’s crazy.’ … I tried doing everything I could and what’s crazy is looking back on these messages I look like a begging a** bitch and I never beg no one to be with me.”

After a pod love triangle with Sarah Ann and Laura Dadisman, Jeramey opted to propose to Laura sight unseen during season 6. Their engagement fizzled before their would-be wedding day after she claimed that Jeramey spent all night at Sarah Ann’s house. He denied the claims, but later did start dating Sarah Ann. They broke up a year later.
“This is in no way one person’s fault. It’s mutual in the aspect that we both contributed to the issues in our relationship,” she said in a September 2024 Instagram video. “We go about things so differently and it’s wild because I never really realized those things until after we were faced with so much adversity and all of the hate came in.”
She continued, "I had someone ask if it ended amicably, and no it wasn’t, if you want me to be blatantly honest. It was ugly [and] it ended really ugly. It’s important to note that Jeramey and I fought really hard for our relationship. We both wanted it to work.”

Danica Patrick Alleges Ex Aaron Rodgers Was 'Emotionally Abusive'

24 May 2025 at 12:56

Danica Patrick claims that the end of her relationship with NFL star Aaron Rodgers “wore [her] down to nothing.”

“It was sudden [and] it felt like it was my life,” Patrick, 43, said on the Wednesday, May 21, episode of “The Sage Steele Show” podcast, going on to describe her break up with the former Green Bay Packers athlete as the most painful thing she had ever experienced.

“You know, when you live with somebody and it’s, like, your whole life,” she continued. “It’s your dentist appointment, it’s your hairdo, it’s your clothes, it’s your mailing address. It’s, like, everything.”

The retired NASCAR driver went on to allege that the “nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive,” which she claimed “wore [her] down to nothing.”

Let's Revisit 'The Bachelorette' Scene Aaron Rodgers Is Still So Mad About

Someone that people could never imagine that I would lack any confidence or belief in the simple things about who I am,” she claimed. “Yeah, everything was down to bits.”

Patrick and Rodgers dated from 2018 to 2020. Patrick’s rep confirmed to Us that they were “no longer together” after she unfollowed the NFL star on social media.

Rodgers has never publicly discussed the end of their two-year relationship at length, nor responded to Patrick’s abuse allegations. Us Weekly has reached out for comment.

“He leaves a trail of blood. I don’t think I’m saying too much earth-shattering stuff after there’s been enough out there,” Patrick quipped on Wednesday’s episode. “[The breakup] gave me the greatest gift, which was myself. I was, like, ‘Wow.’ It gave me the greatest gift of how much I needed to show up for myself and take care of myself.”

During her podcast interview, Patrick further admitted that she had ignored signs of the alleged abuse at the time.

Shailene Woodley: My Life Was 'S--tty' After Calling Off Aaron Engagement

“I would say, ‘I’m built for hard things. I can handle hard things,’ and so, I just saw it as a hard thing,” Patrick said. “My nature is to try harder and to do more, and I was like, ‘What if I don’t do it for the right person? What if I just get a stick up my a** about this and get too proud?’”

According to Patrick, she “wished [she] would have tried” to leave the situation earlier.

“I don’t have shame and I don’t have regret because I know that everything leads to the next thing,” she added. “It’s all part of the path of learning the lessons and becoming who you are again. It’s not that you’re not going to go through hard times again, but learn how to get through them quicker [and] learn how to get through them more peacefully.”

Patrick later moved on with Carter Comstock before they split in 2022 after nearly one year together.

“I’m like, ‘Is my judgment the best?’ I don’t know,” Patrick exclusively joked to Us Weekly in May 2022, referring to the split. “I think that you just have to follow your heart and trust your intuition.”

ESPN Anchor Thinks Taylor Swift Will Be at More Games Than Aaron Rodgers

She continued, “I think that’s something that increasingly over time, I’m doing a better job of. So just trust that intuition, look for … like right, if there are red flags at the beginning, like trust that [and] don’t just brush it off. I think those are the things that I’m beginning to realize are really critical. … I have no doubt that it’ll come along and [at the] perfect timing.”

Rodgers, for his part, was briefly engaged to actress Shailene Woodley after he and Patrick went their separate ways. Their on-off relationship ended for good in 2022, before he found love again with a currently unidentified partner.

“I’m in a different phase of my life,” Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee Show last month. “I’m 41 years old. I’m in a serious relationship. I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention. I have personal commitments not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year that are important to me.”

Rodgers is an NFL free agent who has not yet formally signed with a new team ahead of the 2025-2026 season.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spotted on Low-Key Date in Florida

24 May 2025 at 12:02

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reemerged from their hiatus from the spotlight for a low-key date in Florida!!! — three exclamation points obviously required.

Swift and Kelce, both 35, were spotted having dinner at Harry’s restaurant in West Palm Beach on Friday, May 23, according to photos obtained by TMZ. The pop star wore an off-the-shoulder floral sundress with a black handbag, while Kelce opted for a leaf-printed button-down, khaki pants and a black baseball cap.

According to the outlet, Swift and Kelce were seen holding hands as they entered the establishment but reportedly kept the PDA to a minimum.

Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, recently relocated to the Sunshine State — temporarily — to start training for the upcoming 2025-2026 NFL season. He’s been renting a $20 million abode in Boca Raton, which is approximately 25 miles from downtown West Palm.

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Spotted on Outing After Months in Privacy

Swift, for her part, has been flying under the radar since ending her history-making Eras Tour and cheering on Kelce in the 2025 Super Bowl in February. (The Chiefs ultimately lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.)

“Taylor and Travis are doing great, and they’re still very much together and in love,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in a cover story last month. “They’re just taking a break from the public eye.”

In addition to enjoying their well-earned downtime, Swift and Kelce stepped out for a handful of vacations in the likes of New York, Montana and Utah.

“Travis wants to take [a breather] from the public eye,” a second source told Us in April. “He was working too much last year, and he didn’t play as well as he wanted. He wants to have a good season and not have the focus be on his relationship with Taylor.”

How Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Are Spending 'Precious' Hiatus: Sources

Kelce has been dating the Grammy winner since summer 2023, shortly after he called her out on his “New Heights” podcast for not wanting to meet when he went to her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City. After hearing Kelce’s podcast pleas, Swift reached out, and the rest of their love story is history.

“We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she told TIME in a December 2023 profile, addressing her first appearance at his game the previous September. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

Swift kept stepping out at many of Kelce’s games, including back-to-back Super Bowls, all of which often stole attention and elicited criticism from football fans. No matter what, Swift has shaken off the haters.

“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,” she added to TIME. “I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once. “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

Kelce is equally proud of Swift, attending many of her Eras concerts and even organizing a post-tour party in December 2024.

Khloe Kardashian Introduces Her Kids to ‘Cheetah Girls’ Starring Rob’s Ex

24 May 2025 at 11:29

Khloé Kardashian is ready to usher in a whole new generation of “Cheetah sisters.”

“Girl sleepover and it’s about that time @adriennebailon,” Kardashian, 40, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, May 24, sharing a photo of her TV cued up to watch 2003’s The Cheetah Girls on Disney+.

While it’s not known who scored invites to the intimate sleepover, Kardashian shares daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 2, with ex Tristan Thompson. She also frequently babysits her 8-year-old niece Dream Kardashian, the daughter of exes Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna.

The now-classic Disney Channel Original Movie, based on Deborah Gregory’s book series of the same name, starred Raven-Symoné, Sabrina Bryan, Kiely Williams and Bailon-Houghton, now 41, as a teenage girl band. The musical’s success spawned two televised sequels in 2006 and 2008, respectively. (Bryan, 40, Williams, 38, and Bailon also went on multiple live concert tours and recorded several CDs as their onscreen personas.)

Adrienne Bailon Is 'Waiting' for Playdate With Kourtney Kardashian's Son

During the Cheetah Girls’ heyday, Bailon-Houghton dated Rob, now 38, from 2007 to 2009. Bailon-Houghton and her family even made cameos on his family’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians docuseries at the time.

“It really is the shortest relationship I’ve ever had,” Bailon-Houghton, who is now married to producer Israel Houghton, exclusively recalled to Us Weekly in December 2018 of her previous romance. “I was like, ‘Guys, but I’ve accomplished other things.’”

She added, “I think that even got misinterpreted as me saying at some point I wish I had never done the show. I don’t think it was that at all. … I just was annoyed that people tried to say that was the only thing I had accomplished. So, that was a sucky spot in my career.”

Bailon-Houghton rose to fame as a member of girl group 3LW before The Cheetah Girls came her way. She’s since starred in additional film projects, launched a jewelry line and cohosted The Real talk show.

While Bailon-Houghton has moved on from Rob and their one-time romance, she still keeps up with his famous siblings.

“I love those girls and I think that they’re amazing,” Bailon-Houghton told Us in January 2024. “They’re girls’ girls. They’re always there to lift you up and be like, ‘You’ve got this. You look amazing,’ give a compliment, and it’s awesome.”

At the time, the actress told Us that she was “waiting” to introduce her 2-year-old son, Ever, to Kourtney Kardashian’s youngest, Rocky. (Kourtney, 46, and husband Travis Barker welcomed their son in November 2023. They each have three older kids from previous relationships.)

“We’re definitely going to make it happen,” Bailon-Houghton quipped.

How Carey Mulligan's Pregnancy Affected ‘Ballad of Wallis Island’ Offer

24 May 2025 at 10:42

The offer to star in The Ballad of Wallis Island came amidst Carey Mulligan’s pregnancy with her third baby.

Marcus [Mumford, my husband] told me I needed to do the film before I even read the script because he was such a big fan,” Mulligan, 39, told The Times of London in an interview published on Friday, May 23. “I said, ‘Well, I’m going to read it first.’ But he just said, ‘Be in the film.’”

The Ballad of Wallis Island is based on Tom Basden and Tim Key’s 2007 short film of the same name, which was nominated for a BAFTA that same year. Since then, Mumford, 38, became a devoted listener of the Key’s Poetry Programme radio show on BBC Radio 4.

Mulligan had announced in January 2023 that she and the Mumford & Sons frontman were expecting their third child. (They also share daughter Evelyn, now 9, and son Wilfred, now 7.)

Carey Mulligan Confirms She and Marcus Mumford Quietly Welcomed 3rd Baby

While Mulligan was initially aware that joining Wallis Island meant that she’d be shooting the project newly postpartum, she couldn’t bear to turn down director Richard Curtis’ offer.

“I wanted to be in something fun,” Mulligan told The Times. “I wanted to be a part of something that would give people joy. I am aware that I’ve done lots of quite sad films. I thought, ‘Oh, I’ll be in something lovely, I’m not going to make anyone cry.’”

Mulligan and the crew shot Wallis Island in August 2023 in just 18 days on location in Wales.

“[It was] the shortest shoot I’ve ever done,” Mulligan recalled, noting her youngest child was 10 weeks old at the time. “My mum came [to help and] my family came. We saw lots of aunts and uncles. It’s a massive advert for Wales. It looks so beautiful.”

Mulligan also had Mumford’s support during production.

“He loved them all and was around for a bit of the rehearsals. He was a cheerleader in the background,” Mulligan gushed, also noting that she was a bit nervous about singing with Basden, 45, Key, 48, at a May screening, unlike her spouse on the set. “I did it, but it was excruciating. I can do it fine on set and in character, but that just pushed me completely over the edge.”

Mulligan revealed in October 2023 that she had given birth earlier that year, telling Vogue that life as a mom of three was “very normal.” (Mulligan and Mumford have not publicly shared their little one’s name or sex.)

The Pride and Prejudice actress and Mumford, who have been married since 2012, often keep details about their family private. While speaking with The Times, Mulligan did tease that she planned to have “a lovely summer off” with her kids in the forthcoming months.

British Influencer Says She Was Robbed, Lost 'Everything' on U.S. Road Trip

24 May 2025 at 10:10

British influencer Saffron Barker claimed that her recent vacation in Las Vegas ended with a robbery.

“This holiday was a nightmare,” she captioned a YouTube video posted on Friday, May 22. “Emergency surgery, we got robbed and they stole EVERYTHING.”

Before Barker, 24, shared the footage from her and boyfriend Josh Miln’s ill-fated getaway, she issued a disclaimer.

“Before this vlog starts properly, I just want to let you know that this video is a little bit all over the place,” Barker wrote at the start of her video. “You’ll understand why as soon as it gets started because it, honestly, was just bad luck after [bad] luck. However, I still wanted to post it as you’ll see throughout the video [that] we tried to make the best out of a lot of bad situations, which I think we did a good job of.”

She added, “I’m very grateful to have had Josh with me throughout this whole thing because it made me realize how now matter what life throws at you, you have to find happiness within it.”

Barker and Miln, who turns 24 later this month, traveled from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in a hired car.

“I think [it] is going to be the most incredible thing. I mean, I have done that with my parents before,” she said. “Like the fact that I’m doing it with Josh, I just think it’s going to be the best thing ever. Something we are dying to do is a road trip around America.”

Before Miln joined the YouTube star in California, Barker was briefly hospitalized for an ear infection after undergoing root canal surgery. She was discharged ahead of his arrival. The pair then set off to Sin City, stopping for lunch at the legendary Peggy Sue’s diner.

Why Nick Viall and Wife Natalie Joy's Honeymoon ‘Felt Like a Nightmare’

“Little did we know, whilst we were having food in the diner, someone broke into our car and stole EVERYTHING,” Barker wrote in a caption.

Once Barker and Miln went back out to the Jeep SUV, they discovered that the back window had been smashed and all of their belongings were no longer stored inside.

“We walked outside, and the car was completely smashed in,” she recalled. “Obviously, this is a car that we had rented. And inside was every single thing, I feel, that I own. I mean, our passports, cards [and] the list could go on and on. I mean, I genuinely have nothing, like handbags. The only thing we brought into our restaurant was our phones.”

Barker added, “Although it’s really sad that we’ve lost all that money and all the things that we’ve worked really hard for … it’s also just the inconvenience now of we can’t even get home [and] we don’t even have cards to pay for anything.”

According to Barker, she and Miln don’t even have their IDs on them, which also caused an issue when they arrived at their hotel.

“They didn’t actually even want to let us into the hotel because they were like, ‘But you don’t have a physical ID, even though I have my picture,’” Barker alleged. “That was a hassle, but at the same time, we keep saying how lucky we are that we could have been held at gunpoint [or] these people could have been following us.”

The hotel ultimately allowed Barker and Miln to check into their reserved room as they tried to figure out their next steps — including how to get back home.

“We were very naive because I’d never been there before,” Miln added, reflecting on the burglary. “You don’t really second-guess these things. We’re not really used to that way of life with expecting things to be taken for granted — like the safety of your things in a car. Looking back on it, we didn’t leave the car with things out in the spotlight. It just seems really bizarre.”

Sophie Turner Praises Joe Jonas' Solo Album After Divorce: 'Go Go'

24 May 2025 at 09:15

Joe Jonas’ post-divorce solo album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, seemingly has the approval of his ex-wife, Sophie Turner.

“Go go @joejonas,” Turner, 29, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, May 24, sharing a Spotify link to the record.

Jonas, 35, released his second solo LP on Friday, May 23, featuring many songs about his new normal since he and Turner separated in 2023.

“It was scary at times, and also freeing,” Jonas told Billboard in August 2024 of his decision to write and sing about his private relationship. “I’m not trying to come for anyone on this album. I’m not trying to put stuff on blast. … I’m a happy person, and the music needed to resemble that — but also, the journey to get here.”

Joe Jonas Finds Dating ‘Scary and Intimidating’ After Sophie Turner Divorce

He added, “I was going through a lot of life changes, finding out who I was as a person and father and friend, and living under the microscope of what the music industry can be. And I think, at such a crazy time in my life, I looked to music as an outlet.”

Us Weekly confirmed in September 2023 that the Jonas Brothers singer filed for divorce from Turner after four years of marriage. They subsequently went toe-to-toe over custody arrangements of daughters Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2. (The kids have dual citizenship in the United States and Turner’s native England.)

Jonas and the Game of Thrones alum eventually reached a settlement in September 2024, agreeing to share custody.

“After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the U.K.,” the now-exes told Us in a joint statement at the time. “We look forward to being great coparents.”

While Jonas has remained relatively quiet about the breakup and resulting custody battle, Turner called the situation “incredibly sad” in a Harper’s Bazaar profile.

‘The Final Straw’: What Led to Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s Divorce

“We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard,” she recalled last year. “I’m so happy to be back. It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England. I just never really feel like myself when I’m not in London, with my friends and family. I was away for so long — six years — and it was when my friends were getting engaged, and when I got pregnant. I went for dinner with someone the other day, and she said, ‘I never got to touch your belly.’ We didn’t have those key experiences with each other.”

Throughout most of their marriage, Turner lived with Jonas in both Los Angeles and Miami.

Joe Biden Spotted for 1st Time Since Revealing Cancer Diagnosis: Photo

24 May 2025 at 08:46

Former President Joe Biden is spending time with his loved ones amid his recent cancer diagnosis.

Biden, 82, made a low-key appearance at grandson Hunter’s high school graduation on Friday, May 23. (Hunter and his sister, Natalie, are the two children of Joe’s late son, Beau Biden, and wife Hallie Olivere.)

“Proud Nana and Pop,” Joe’s wife, former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, sharing a photo of their family.

In addition to Olivere, Hunter and Natalie, Joe and Jill, 73, were joined by their daughter, Ashley Biden. (Joe shared sons Hunter and Beau, as well as late daughter Naomi with first wife Neilia Hunter, who died in 1972.)

Ashley, 43, also shared several photos of the Bidens at the ceremony via her Instagram Story, adding a heart sticker to the post.

Hunter’s graduation marks Joe’s first public outing since revealing that he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” a Sunday, May 18, statement read. “On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”

Stars React to Joe Biden's 'Aggressive' Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

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.”

At the time, Joe’s office revealed that he and his family were currently “reviewing treatment options with his physicians.” The former politician broke his silence on his health scare the following day.

“Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places,” Joe wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 19. “Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.

Former President Joe Biden’s Cancer Battle: A Complete Timeline

Joe’s office confirmed earlier this month that a “small nodule” was found on his prostate during an annual physical exam.

Joe, a longtime senator, served as the Vice President during Barack Obama’s two-term presidency. He was later elected as the Commander in Chief in 2020, defeating incumbent Donald Trump. While Joe initially sought reelection, he ended his campaign and endorsed then-VP Kamala Harris more than 100 days before the election. (She was defeated by Trump last November.)

Throughout his political career, Joe has had his family by his side.

“He’ll pick up our calls no matter where he is,” Hunter’s daughter Naomi, now 31, told PBS in an August 2020 interview. “He’ll be onstage, giving a speech, and we’d call him and he’d be like, ‘What’s wrong?!’ He’s made sure that every single tradition, every holiday, we’re all together. I don’t think there’s been any decision, no matter how big or small, that we haven’t decided as a family.”

Elisabeth Moss Dishes on Theory Taylor Swift Made 'Handmaid’s Tale' Cameo

24 May 2025 at 08:10

The penultimate episode of The Handmaid’s Tale offered fans a glimpse of Taylor Swift’s long-awaited Reputation (Taylor’s Version), prompting speculation that there were even more hidden Easter eggs onscreen.

Elisabeth Moss’ June led an army of Handmaids into a rebellion to a soundtrack of “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” during the Tuesday, May 20, episode. Fans quickly theorized that one of the shadowed figures exiting a truck behind them was Swift, 35, because the actor’s gait presumably mimicked the pop star’s own stage-worthy strut.

Amid fans’ fervent hopes for an unexpected Swift cameo amid her professional hiatus post-Eras Tour, Moss is clearing the air about the onscreen performer’s identity.

“Of course it’s not her,” Moss, 42, told TVLine in an interview published on Friday, May 23, joking that she found the fan theory to be “amazing” despite its inaccuracies.

Taylor Swift Drops Major ‘Reputation (TV)’ Hint on ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’

“Oh my God, that’s hilarious. I love that idea, though,” Moss, who also directed the episode, told the outlet. “But this is one of the reasons we were so excited about this moment, just the fan engagement on Handmaid’s is so intense, and then marrying that with the Swifties is, like, ‘Jesus Christ.’ It’s so fun!”

According to Moss, Swift was likely too “busy” to play an unnamed, mysterious extra on the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale.

“I’m afraid that’s not Taylor. She’s pretty busy,” Moss quipped. “I feel like if she was going to come do our show, we would’ve made sure we saw her face.”

Many Swifties played into the speculation because Swift brought her Eras Tour to Toronto last fall, which aligned with the filming dates and locations of The Handmaid’s Tale finale.

“I’ll clear up that incredibly astute observation. A lot of us went to the Eras Tour in November in Toronto, which is partially why Taylor was very top of mind for me,” Moss said. “But also [her original version of] Reputation came out at … I think it was [during] season 4, and we were obsessed with that album on set, as a cast.”

Every Hint Taylor Swift Is About to Announce ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’

She continued, “It’s been a long mutual love affair between her and a lot of our cast. I mean, Josh Charles was in her [‘Fortnight’] music video [and using her music] was something that I’ve wanted to do, well, from the beginning.I was going to say, ‘Since I’ve been a director,’ but from the beginning!”

Moss, who attended an Eras Tour show with costars Bradley Whitford and Yvonne Strahovski, wanted to use a Swift song in an earlier episode — but is ultimately happy it panned out the way it did.

“I’m so glad that we didn’t do it before and waited until now,” Moss said. “Now that we have it, I’m so glad it happened the way that it did.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton's Dog Orla Reportedly Welcomes Puppies

24 May 2025 at 07:42

Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton’s family compound just got a little bigger — and furrier!

William, 42, and Kate, 43, along with their three children — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 6 — reportedly welcomed a litter of puppies, according to The Sun.

The British outlet reported that the family’s cocker spaniel, Orla, gave birth to a handful of puppies and that the children were “very excited” about the family’s newest canine companions. Neither William, Kate nor the palace have publicly addressed the arrival of the new pets.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were initially gifted Orla by Kate’s brother, James Middleton, in 2021 after the death of their beloved pooch, Lupo.

“Very sadly last weekend our dear dog, Lupo, passed away,” William and Kate wrote via Instagram in November 2020. “He has been at the heart of our family for the past nine years and we will miss him so much.”

Lupo was also a present from James, 38, who has multiple dogs of his own. Many of James’ pets, including late dog Ella, have helped him manage his mental health struggles.

“Nothing can ever prepare you for the loss of a dog. For those who have never had a dog, it might be hard to understand the loss,” James noted in his own Instagram tribute after Lupo’s death. “However, for those who have loved a dog know the truth: a dog is not just a pet; it is a member of the family, a best friend, a loyal companion, a teacher and a therapist.”

He added, “There isn’t much of a rule book on how to grieve for a dog, but I’ve said a prayer, lit a candle and taken Ella (Mum) for a long walk to spend time remembering Lupo. Rest in peace, Lupo. Tilly and Mini will be waiting for you. You will always be remembered and your legacy will live on forever. Good Boy.”

Orla has since been able to provide William and Kate solace since Lupo’s passing. In October 2024, the couple even teased that she often sleeps in their bed.

Prince William Reveals the Messy Chore He Always Does When His Kids ‘Forget’ 

“[William] said that his little dog sleeps on the bed with them at night, with him and Kate,” a royal fan told Hits Radio Cornwall in October 2024 after meeting the prince on a local walkabout.

Orla has also joined William and Kate, who is currently in remission after an undisclosed form of cancer, at numerous public events through the years like charity polo matches.

'Rust' Armorer Released From Prison After Manslaughter Conviction

24 May 2025 at 07:33

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who worked as the armorer on Rust and was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, has been released from prison.

Gutierrez-Reed, 27, was released on Friday, May 23, a spokesperson for the New Mexico Corrections Department confirmed to NBC News. She was released in Arizona to a region near the Nevada and California borders with dual supervision under probation and parole authorities.

According to the police rep, Gutierrez-Reed will be on parole for one year.

Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in April 2024 after the accidental shooting death of 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. She was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

‘Rust’ Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Appeals Conviction

“My heart aches for the Hutchins family and friends. … Helena has been and always will be an inspiration to me. I understand she was taken too soon and I pray that you all find peace,” she said during her sentencing. “My heart goes out to the film industry for the devastating pain that this tragedy caused. …When I took on Rust, I was young and I was naive, but I took my job as seriously as I knew how to do. Despite not having proper time, resources and staffing, when things got tough, I just did my best to handle it.”

As a film armorer, Gutierrez-Reed was responsible for the firearms on the set of Rust. During production in October 2021, a gun held by actor Alec Baldwin was discharged and killed Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.

Gutierrez-Reed was charged in January 2023 with one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of tampering with evidence for allegedly handing off a bag of cocaine following her police interview after the shooting. She pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Alec Baldwin's Involuntary Manslaughter Case Is Dismissed by Judge

In the trial, Gutierrez-Reed was found not guilty of evidence tampering but guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Afterward, her attorney said that she planned to appeal her conviction.

A legal team representing Hutchins’ family — she is survived by her husband and young son — reacted in a statement to Us Weekly.

“Halyna’s parents and her sister have always wanted everyone who is responsible for Halyna’s death to be held accountable,” attorneys Gloria Allred and John Carpenter said in a statement to Us at the time. “Today was the first trial and conviction in the criminal justice process. We are satisfied that the jury, based on the evidence, found Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for her part in the taking of Halyna’s life.”

The statement concluded: “We look forward to the justice system continuing to make sure that everyone else who is responsible for Halyna’s death is required to face the legal consequences for their actions.”

Baldwin, 67, was also charged with involuntary manslaughter. He pleaded not guilty and fervently maintained his innocence. The charges were dismissed in July 2024.

“The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never,” Baldwin previously said in an ABC interview in December 2021. “I have no idea [how a bullet got in there]. Someone put a live bullet in a gun. A bullet that wasn’t even supposed to be on the property.”

Britney Spears Addresses Drinking and Smoking on a Plane: I 'Apologize'

24 May 2025 at 06:29

Britney Spears has addressed the recent reports that she smoked a cigarette and drank alcohol while on an airplane.

“It’s actually incredibly funny. Some planes I’ve been on you can’t smoke mostly, but this one was different because the drinkholders were on [the] outside of the seat,” Spears, 43, wrote via Instagram on Friday, May 23, sharing footage of herself on a private jet that was taken the day before. “Confession: It was my first time drinking VODKA!!! I swear I felt so SMART!!! I was like, ‘Wow what the heck is in there.’ I felt so clear and smart, and said, ‘I want a cigarette so bad!!!’”

According to Spears, her friend subsequently put a cigarette in the singer’s mouth and “lit it up for [her].”

“I was like, ‘Oh, so this is a plane where you can smoke,’” the pop star explained in her social media post. “I do so apologize to anyone I offended, but the flight attendants always make sure I’m way at the back of plane anyways 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ !!!”

Britney Spears Warned About Conduct After Smoking on Private Jet

News broke on Thursday, May 22, that Spears was allegedly seen drinking alcohol and smoking a cigarette while traveling on a private plane to Los Angeles from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. TMZ reported that flight attendants allegedly ordered the “Toxic” singer to put out the cigarette, which she did. When the plane landed, TMZ claimed Spears was met by authorities, who issued her a warning about her conduct.

“I thought officials greeted me as support and I was like, ‘WOW, I feel special!!!’ I’ve never been to an international airport,” Spears quipped via Instagram. “Am I famous or something??? The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette!!!”

She added, “And embarrass me, which, jeez, I thought was kinda much, but she didn’t like me the moment I got on the plane!! Nobody was on the plane for the first 20 minutes, and she wouldn’t let me get out of my seat. I wanted to stand up!!! She acted so weird about making sure I sat down, and it was weird!!!”

Britney Spears Reveals in Memoir Her ‘Drug of Choice’ Was Adderall

Spears also claimed that she “didn’t like the way” the currently unidentified flight attendant put the seatbelt on her and reportedly “invaded [her] space.”

“Oh well, you guys like my flower choker???” Spears concluded her social media upload, referring to her necklace and changing the subject. “B tiny is coming soon and that’s something we have added. It’s honestly adorable!!!”

'90 Day Fiance' Tragedies: The Saddest and Most Shocking Deaths

23 May 2025 at 09:12

Several 90 Day Fiancé stars have experienced tragedies and loss since appearing on the TLC franchise.

Season 7 couple Anny Francisco and Robert Springs announced in April 2022 that their 7-month-old son, Adriel, had died. (Robert, who has five older children from previous relationships, and Anny welcomed daughter Brenda two years before.)

“It is really tough. You just have to lean on each other, put your faith in God’s hands, and there’s going to be a lot of lashing out. You may not understand,” Robert exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2024. “Going through those obstacles that we went through of losing a child — and like I said, my wife can lash out — but it’s like, ‘Hey, are you going to throw gas to the flame or are you going to just put a blanket over it?’”

He added, “And I’ll just put a blanket over it, try to ease the conversation, just not talk about it, just so that it can die down. You just got to look for brighter days. It’s not going to rain all the time.”

Angela’s mother, Glenda, died several days after her wedding to now-ex Michael Ilesanmi in January 2020. The TLC star’s mom had been found unresponsive shortly before Angela and Michael’s wedding day.
“It’s driving me crazy, I wish I could leave tonight, but I can’t,” Angela said in a confessional on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?. “And it’s upsetting to me that I can’t go. So, I’m trying to get a plane to get to the States because we don’t know the condition of my mother, and all I know is she can not be there when I get back.”

Teen Mom's Tyler and Catelynn Haven't Listened to Carly's Song After Drama

23 May 2025 at 09:03

Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell have opted against listening to their biological daughter Carly’s original song.

“We never chose not to listen to the song. We were actually super excited, very touched and couldn’t wait to hear it,” Tyler, 33, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, May 22. “But, this was all thrown onto us out of nowhere with MTV’s setup. … This was all MTV’s idea since their producers were the only ones that our biological daughter’s parents were willing to speak with about all of this.”

He added, “Their original plan was to have MTV film them and their family, as long as MTV didn’t have them talk about the adoption while filming. MTV didn’t think it made sense, so they compromised behind the scenes with this song idea.”

In Thursday’s episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Dr. Drew Pinsky told Tyler and Catelynn, 33, that he had a video of Carly singing from her parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis, who adopted her in 2009. The MTV stars said that they did not want to hear the footage while filming the show.

Tyler Baliterra and Catelynn Lowell Vow Not to Mention Carly Anymore

“[This was] the first time Cate ever heard her sing prior to this, became a very emotionally intense day. So recognizing this and wanting to prepare ourselves, all we asked was to first give us a moment to listen in private,” Tyler added. “That way we could collect/process ourselves a bit, and then we could listen and play it on camera afterwards, like they wanted.”

During Thursday’s episode, MTV alleged that when Catelynn asked for the link to hear the performance in private, Brandon and Teresa denied the request. (Us Weekly has reached out for comment.)

“It was truly heartbreaking to have something so special just dangled in front of us, to then have it ripped away like that,” Tyler said. “Navigating an open adoption as a birth parent is so difficult, especially with such a constant, imbalanced power dynamic. Birth parents are always at the mercy of the adopters (which is understandable, since we’re the ones who relinquished our baby to them), but that still doesn’t make it any less hard or painful.”

Tyler further noted that he and Catelynn were touched by Brandon and Teresa’s offer.

“It is such a beautiful gift and so meaningful,” he wrote. “We just asked if we could listen to it in private first because it brings a lot of emotions and sadness. For us, it’s so beautiful to listen to her, but it also brings up a lot of feelings.”

Tyler also said that he and his wife were “incredibly sorry” if any of their comments about adoption upset Brandon, Teresa or Carly.

“We will always speak about adoption, share the facts, share adoptees’ great stories and adoptees’ bad stories,” he continued. “We will always speak about adoption, [but] we just won’t speak about our adoption journey moving forward.”

Inside Tyler and Catelynn’s Relationship With Carly and Her Adoptive Parents

He added, “We’re the adults here and it’s our job to put everything aside for the best interest of Carly, which requires open, honest and transparent communication. So, we hope moving forward, you will participate in that requirement.”

Tyler and Catelynn placed Carly for adoption upon her birth in 2009. While they initially planned to have an open adoption, the 16 and Pregnant alums later claimed that Brandon and Teresa kept pushing back on any involvement. In a March episode, Catelynn also claimed that they were blocked on social media.

“The last time I saw Carly was, like, two years ago,” Catelyn exclusively told Us Weekly in January. “It’s very hard. At the end of the day, I really just want whatever she wants and whatever that looks like for Carly, that’s all that I want. They basically have closed the adoption on us. That’s hard.”

Brandon and Teresa, meanwhile, have never publicly addressed any drama with Tyler and Catelynn, who also share younger daughters Nova, 10, Vaeda, 6, and Rya, 3.

23 May 2025 at 06:56

Today cohost Sheinelle Jones was married to her college sweetheart, Uche Ojeh, for nearly two decades before he died in May 2025.

“With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our dear friend and Today cohost Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma,” Savannah Guthrie said during the show’s Friday, May 23, broadcast. “There are no words for the pain that we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children. Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him.”

She added, “We just want to say [to] the Ojeh family, we are with you. We love you. You are our family and we are just sending all of our love to you right now.”

In addition to Jones, Ojeh, who was 45, is survived by their son Kayin, 15, and twins Clara and Uche, 12.

Sheinelle Jones Pretended to Be a College Tour Guide to Meet Uche Ojeh

During Jones’ first year at Northwestern University in Chicago, she met Ojeh when he was visiting the campus during his last year of high school.

“I was a fake tour guide … I was just walking to class,” Jones joked to Northwestern’s alumni magazine in 2024. “[I was like, ‘Are you guys lost?’ I told him I would take him around because he was cute. I was like, ‘This is the Black House. … This is the Plex [Foster-Walker Complex], and if you need real tidbits, I’m probably not the one.’”

Ojeh ultimately opted to attend Northwestern, too, studying computer science and economics. He graduated in 2001, later returning to the school to propose to Jones. They got married in 2007.

Uche Ojeh Worked as a Consultant

According to Ojeh’s LinkedIn page, he served as a Managing Partner for UAO Consulting. He previously worked for IBM and Accenture.

Jones and Ojeh shared three children. In a tribute on Today, cohost Craig Melvin reflected on watching his late friend as a parent.

“One thing he always talked about — he talked about those kids. He loved those kids more than anything else in this world, and was just so proud,” Melvin said. “He was that dad who was on the sidelines at every soccer game. He was at all the concerts, the recitals. He was that guy, and they had such a beautiful love story.”

Jones congratulated her husband for running his first triathlon race.

“I think it’s so important to celebrate the wins of the people you love — this weekend it was all about ‘The Uche’s,’” Jones wrote via Instagram in October 2023. “My youngest son’s soccer team took first in their tournament. Meanwhile dad a.k.a. big Uche — conquered a triathlon. It’s something he’s always wanted to do …. and he trained really hard for it. I’ve watched both of them, day in and day out, running and kicking balls all over the place. It all paid off.”

She continued, “The rest of us in the house (me, Kayin & Clara) are super proud of them.”

Uche Ojeh Battled an ‘Aggressive’ Form of Glioblastoma

Five months after Jones took a sabbatical from her Today duties following an undisclosed family matter, her colleagues revealed in May 2025 that Ojeh died at age 45.

According to Guthrie, Ojeh had navigated a “courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, glioblastoma starts when cancerous cells grow in the brain or spinal cord. It can spread quickly, destroying healthy tissue in the process.

Joe Jonas Finds Dating ‘Scary and Intimidating’ After Sophie Turner Divorce

23 May 2025 at 06:17

Joe Jonas opened up about diving back into the dating scene after he and ex-wife Sophie Turner settled their divorce.

“I was seeing somebody at the time, and I was kind of having this idea of dating again. It was really scary and intimidating,” Jonas, 35, said during a Wednesday, May 22, TalkShopLive stream, while discussing writing his new song “Only Love” from his latest solo record, Music for People Who Believe in Love.

He added, “Love takes different shapes and forms, and I was rediscovering what that was.”

According to Jonas, the person he was dating — whom he has not publicly identified — tried to soothe his concerns.

Sophie Turner Details 'Unfathomable' Backlash After Joe Jonas Divorce

“I was like, ‘Well, when you put it that way,’ [and] so, we wrote a song about it,” the singer added. “Like, it was not a big deal, but it was a big deal to me, and a big deal to them, too. But it’s OK to take a leap of faith and just try again and put yourself out there.”

Jonas was married to Game of Thrones alum Turner, 29, from 2019 to 2023. They finalized their divorce one year later in September 2024, ultimately agreeing to split custody of daughters Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2, after a messy legal battle about primary residencies. (The kids have dual citizenship in the United States and Turner’s native England.)

“After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the U.K.,” the now-exes told Us Weekly in a joint statement at the time. “We look forward to being great coparents.”

While Jonas has since remained quiet about the divorce and custody battle, Turner called the situation “incredibly sad” in a Harper’s Bazaar cover story published in late 2024.

Joe Jonas Says He’s ‘Not Trying to Come for Anyone’ on Post-Divorce Album

“We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard,” she recalled. “I’m so happy to be back. It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England. I just never really feel like myself when I’m not in London, with my friends and family. I was away for so long — six years — and it was when my friends were getting engaged, and when I got pregnant. I went for dinner with someone the other day, and she said, I never got to touch your belly. We didn’t have those key experiences with each other.”

Turner had lived with Jonas in the U.S. states of California and Florida, respectively, during their marriage. She returned to her native England upon their separation.

Hailey Bieber Marks Son Jack's 9-Month Milestone With New Pic: 'Sweet Baby'

23 May 2025 at 05:00

Justin and Hailey Bieber’s son, Jack Blues, is growing up before their very eyes.

“My sweet baby is 9 months old today,” Hailey, 28, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, May 22, sharing a new photo of her son.

In the black-and-white pic, baby Jack sat on the floor, playing with a black mesh bag while he sat opposite the camera with his face hidden from view. The infant wore a casual white T-shirt and a pair of gray sweatpants.

The Rhode founder gave birth to her and Justin’s first child in August 2024.

Hailey Bieber Details 'Difficult' Postpartum Life Amid Justin Split Rumors

“Giving birth was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Hailey recalled to Vogue in a profile published earlier this week, noting she prepared by doing breathing exercises, acupuncture, yoga, pelvic-floor therapy and more. “I was on that s***. I was doing everything. I felt stronger physically than I ever had before.”

According to the outlet, Hailey was induced at 39 weeks when she started leaking amniotic fluid.

“That was not fun. They broke my water,” she told the magazine in a cover story. “I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing.”

Jack was born after 18 hours of labor, shortly before Hailey experienced a postpartum hemorrhage.

“[It] was a little bit scary,” she said. “I trust my doctor with my life. And so I had peace that I knew she would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind. You start to get a little freaked out.”

Once Hailey recovered from the procedure, she needed to adjust to her new normal as a parent.

“Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I’ve ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult,” she stated to Vogue. “And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, ‘They’re getting divorced and they’re this and they’re not happy’: It is such a mindf***. I cannot even begin to explain it. It’s a crazy life to live.”

Hailey and Justin, 31, have been married since 2018, recently sparking breakup speculation after fans thought they unfollowed each other on social media. Both Hailey and the “Peaches” singer have fervently clapped back and denied the accusations.

“I’ve learned so much from Justin, really,” she added to the outlet. “He’s been doing this literally since he was a child, and he has had to face the most scrutiny of any person that I know. He was like, ‘Baby, trust me, I’ve been here before many, many times. You’re not going to win. There is no winning.’”

In his own emailed conversation with Vogue, Justin called marrying Hailey “the smartest thing” he’s ever done.

“I’m walking in the days I always dreamed of,” Justin gushed.

Prince William Reacts to Being Called 'Beautiful' Like Wife Kate Middleton

23 May 2025 at 04:30

Prince William knows his wife, Princess Kate Middleton, is stunning.

As William, 42, and Kate, 43, left their joint appearance at the naming of the HMS Glasgow ship on Thursday, May 22, a waiting fan called the Princess of Wales “beautiful.” Once the individual got a glimpse of William, they added, “You too!”

William, meanwhile, jokingly downplayed the compliment.

“You don’t have to say that,” the Prince of Wales quipped in social media footage as the couple walked toward their waiting car.

Prince William Says Kate Has 'Long Way to Go’ Despite Being Cancer Free

William and Kate made a joint appearance at Thursday’s naming ceremony at BAE Systems’ shipyard in Scotstoun, Scotland. Kate also brought the nautical vibes with her outfit, looking pristine in a navy-and-white dress with a matching fascinator. William, for his part, opted for a classic suit.

The outing comes amid Kate’s sponsorship of the HMS Glasgow, for which she was appointed in June 2021. The boat is a state-of-the-art Type 26 anti-submarine frigate that can protect the U.K.’s nuclear deterrent and aircraft carriers. During their visit, William and Kate received a tour of the facilities and met with local employees.

Kate has steadily been returning to official duties after navigating an undisclosed form of cancer in 2024.

“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown,” she wrote in a September 2024 statement, revealing that she completed her chemotherapy treatment. “With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything. This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”

Kate had battled cancer with her family, including William and their three children, by her side. During that time, she took a step back from her public duties. The duchess confirmed earlier this year that she was in remission.

“It is a relief to now be in remission, and I remain focused on recovery,” she wrote in an Instagram statement in January. “As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am, however, looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.”

Why Jessica Biel's 'Notebook' Audition With Ryan Gosling Was ‘Strange’

22 May 2025 at 11:34

Jessica Biel brought a unique take to her audition with Ryan Gosling for Nicholas SparksThe Notebook.

Reflecting on the experience during the Wednesday, May 21, episode of The View, Biel, 43, revealed that she was also “covered in blood” for her screen-test with Gosling, 44.

“I’m racking my brain to make sure I didn’t accentuate this story,” Biel quipped. “I was shooting The Texas Chainsaw Massacre [when] I was super young.”

According to Biel, she was still wearing the fake blood when she went to read for the role in the 2004 romantic drama.

“It was going to be the greatest option for me in my career,” Biel recalled. “Ryan and the director, [Nick Cassavetes], came to my trailer. They came to us on location, and we auditioned in my trailer at work — and I didn’t get it.”

She added, “In my mind, I just remember having blood on me and being in that white tank top. [I] took my cowboy hat off and was, like, ‘OK, I’d love to fall in love with you. Let’s do this.’ It was [a] very strange, very Hollywood moment.”

Gosling portrayed Noah Calhoun in the feature film, starring opposite Rachel McAdams as leading lady Allie Hamilton. While Biel didn’t get the part, she did end up falling in love offscreen with now-husband Justin Timberlake, who coincidentally has his own association with Gosling.

Timberlake, 44, and Gosling both got their start on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club in the early 1990s.

“Funny enough, his mother had to keep her job in Canada [during] the second year that we were on the television show, and my mom was his guardian for, like, six months,” Timberlake previously said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2011. “We actually lived together … [and] we were probably a little bit closer than the rest of the kids [who] were on the show just because we had to share a bathroom.”

At the time, Timberlake gushed that Gosling was “one of the best actors of our generation.”

“We used to do, like, terrible things. We thought we were so cool,” Timberlake added at the time. “Looking back on them, it wasn’t as bad as I thought they were at the time. We, like, stole a golf cart. We were like, ‘Yeah, man, we’re stealing a golf cart.’ Meanwhile, it’s on a back lot [and] there’s just golf carts everywhere.”

According to the former ‘NSync singer, he and Gosling would then drive their borrowed vehicles over to get milkshakes between takes.

Timberlake started dating Biel in 2007, three years after The Notebook was released, before they got married in 2012. Together, they share two sons.
