Hailee Steinfeld Is 'So Proud' of Josh Allen After End of NFL Season

Hailee Steinfeld is beaming with pride after her fiancé Josh Allen’s 2024/2025 NFL season.

“To say the least, I am so proud of that man and everything he’s done and everything that team has done together,” the actress, 28, gushed in an interview with E! News published on Tuesday, January 28. “He is the hardest working person I know.”

This year, Allen, 28, surpassed Russell Wilson as the quarterback with the most regular season wins in their first seven NFL seasons with a total of 76. He also helped lead the Buffalo Bills to the AFC Championship, where they ultimately lost a close game to the Kansas City Chiefs. The latter team will compete against the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9.

While Allen and the Bills won’t be competing at the Super Bowl, Steinfeld will be featured in a breast cancer awareness commercial for Novartis aired during the big game. “It’s going to reach so many people — just knowing that it’s so empowering to know your body and know your risk. I’m really honored to be a part of this,” she told the outlet, calling her first-ever Super Bowl commercial a “bucket list” item.

Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen’s Relationship Timeline

Steinfeld and Allen first sparked dating rumors in May 20223, shortly after the athlete split from his ex-girlfriend Brittany Williams. “Hailee and Josh have been together for about a month and it’s going really great. … Josh is the first guy in a while she’s been really interested in,” a source exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly one month later.

The couple didn’t make their relationship Instagram official until July 2024. “Onward 🤘🏼,” Allen captioned a carousel of Instagram pics — several of which featured Steinfeld — at the time. Allen, meanwhile, didn’t make his Instagram debut on Steinfeld’s profile until that October, when she shared snaps from their circus-themed Halloween party. The pair dressed in matching ring master costumes while hosting several of Allen’s Bills teammates and their significant others.

Allen got down on one knee in November 2024 and the two announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post. “♾ 11•22•24 ♾,” they captioned a snap of the proposal, which took place underneath a grand floral arch surrounded by candles in front of picturesque ocean backdrop.

Allen detailed the proposal in a December 2024 edition of Steinfeld’s “Beau Society” newsletter, writing, “I said, ‘I couldn’t wait any longer.’ I said, ‘I can’t wait to start a family with you.’ I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said ‘please.’”

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

Steinfeld gushed about the pair’s engagement photos via her newsletter on Friday, January 24. “Over the past few years, Kat [Temkin] has photographed almost every big life moment: birthdays, work trips from London to Hong Kong, red carpets, and our ‘Beau Society’ launch party,” she told fans. “Thank God (and Josh), that Kat was there on the day I got engaged. … No one could have captured that moment like she did and I’ll cherish her photos forever.”

'Suits' Creator Addresses Concerns Spinoff Will Ruin OG Show, Teases Cameos

Suits Creator Addresses Concerns Suits LA Spinoff Will Ruin OG Show Not Trying to Replace

Suits creator Aaron Korsh directly addressed fans’ concerns about the Suits LA spinoff and how the series will affect the memory of the original show.

Korsh, 58, took to X on Sunday, January 26, to reply to viewers who asked whether Suits LA will “ruin” the original show.

“Not trying to replace our beloved originals. Just a new crew working in a different city handling different kinds of cases,” he responded, before elaborating further in a separate post, “It seems like people are all wishing it was the originals back. I expected this and can’t blame them. I can only hope they give #SuitsLA an open-minded try. If they do, I really believe they will grow to love it.”

Korsh maintained that NBC’s Suits LA is “100% its own thing” but it “does have overlap” with the OG series. In response to a question about Gabriel Macht reprising the role of Harvey Specter, Korsh didn’t rule out the possibility of more cameos from former Suits stars.

“The network very much wanted one original member. If you watch, you’ll see that from a story standpoint Harvey made the most sense,” he continued. “[Suits LA is] its own thing, not a Suits spinoff.”

Korsh specifically reacted to the possibility of Patrick J Adams, Sarah Rafferty or Meghan Markle appearing on Suits LA, adding, “It remains to be seen.” The executive producer is “open” to the idea but his priority is to “launch these characters on this show.”

Set in a fictional New York City corporate law firm, the original Suits followed associate lawyer Mike Ross (Adams), who started working with Harvey Specter. The legal drama, which ran from 2011 to 2019, focused on Harvey and Mike winning lawsuits and closing cases while simultaneously hiding Mike’s secret that he didn’t go to law school.

The show had a resurgence in popularity in 2023 when it was added to Netflix and Peacock. As a result, NBC developed a spinoff starring Stephen Amell, Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott Davis and Bryan Greenberg.

“We want to play the hits. We want to have a lot of fun,” Amell told Entertainment Weekly in December 2024. “We are only sitting in Black Lane Law group conference room at the moment right now because of Gabriel and Patrick and Sarah and Meghan and Rick [Hoffman] and all of the people that comprised the original Suits cast. So all of them are welcome.”

Amell also confirmed that his character has a special connection with Harvey Specter.

“You’ll notice behind my desk that there’s a picture of a young Ted Black with what can only be a young Harvey Specter so there’s clearly a history between the characters,” he teased. “We came up together in the D.A.’s office. So if I was going to have anyone [from the original cast] come back, I would want it to be Gabriel.”

He continued: “I would really hope that that happens, because I am very much a fan of his character and I think that that dynamic would be something that the viewers would really enjoy. … I’m not the one that invites [past actors for cameos], but as far as I’m concerned, all of them are welcome. We’re going to do our own thing, and that’s OK. We do things on this show that they couldn’t do on the original.”

Where the Cast of Grant Ellis’ Season 29 of ‘The Bachelor’ Stands

Grant Ellis is narrowing down his list of potential partners as he hands out roses on The Bachelor season 29.

Grant was crowned the lead of The Bachelor after Jenn Tran sent him packing on season 21 of The Bachelorette in summer 2024. Ahead of his season premiere in January 2025, a trailer showed host Jesse Palmer encouraging the lead to make a decision about who he thinks is The One — something that Grant exclusively told Us Weekly he doesn’t typically struggle with.

“In my life, I’m a really decisive person, but when it comes to matters of the heart and when it comes to letting people down, I struggle with that sometimes,” Grant told Us ahead of the first episode. “So even from night one, I didn’t wanna send people home, but it’s something I had to do. And then when you couple that with the amazing women that are on the season, it becomes really hard. And then you add the absence and the lack of time that you have — it’s definitely difficult.”

Grant has remained tight-lipped about the ending of his season but teased to Us that he’s “always happy.” He added, “I’m happy with life and I’m happy with the way that things are going and the way that things played out.”

Jesse Solomon Jokes About Dating Paige DeSorbo After Craig Conover Split

Summer House’s Jesse Solomon is trying to find the humor in Paige DeSorbo’s recent breakup.

After enjoying a trip to Colombia with close friends, Solomon, 31, decided to post a collection of memories via social media on Monday, January 27.

“Okay this dump is better,” DeSorbo, 32, commented via Instagram after seeing her costar’s pictures.

One fan saw the comment and decided to express their hopes that DeSorbo could consider dating Solomon in the future. “@paige_desorbo @jessesols pls d8 <3,” the user wrote.

Jesse Solomon Shares 'Poorly Timed Comment' Amid Paige and Craig Split

Solomon replied, “@taylorpederson I know what jesse solomon would do.”

When he first joined Summer House for season 8 in 2023, Solomon was called out for playfully flirting with DeSorbo while she was in a relationship with Craig Conover.

“I wouldn’t say that Craig is a jealous person but he has his moments,” DeSorbo shared in a confessional interview at the time. “And I want Craig to be friends with everyone I live with so I don’t ever want Craig thinking, ‘Oh there’s the guy who likes my girlfriend.’”

In December 2024, however, DeSorbo confirmed her romantic relationship with Conover, 35, had come to an end after three years of dating.

“I love him, I think he loves me,” she said on her and Hannah Berner’s “Giggly Squad” podcast. “I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing. I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real-time and what you want for your future.”

Nearly a week later, Conover addressed the split in a candid social media post, thanking fans for their “kind messages” as he adjusts to his newly single life.

“This has all been very, very unexpected to say the least,” he shared via Instagram on January 7. “But I guess I gotta start living again, whatever that looks like. Whatever my new normal looks like — I have to start.”

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s Relationship Timeline

With season 9 of Summer House premiering next month, viewers will watch Solomon enter the house single and presumably ready to mingle. According to Bravo, however, he quickly finds himself infatuated with the new girl, Lexi Wood.

As for DeSorbo, she begins to question whether a future with Conover is still viable as her career flourishes with a podcast tour and new book.

Tim McGraw Reportedly Exits Scripted Bull Riding Show Due to Surgery

Tim McGraw Exits His Upcoming Scripted Bull Riding Show Due To Surgery

Tim McGraw reportedly will no longer be the lead in Netflix’s upcoming bull riding drama.

McGraw, 57, was set to star in the upcoming series but stepped back after a tour-related injury, according to Deadline. The health issue resulted in orthopedic surgery on both knees, which was performed in August ahead of McGraw’s separate back surgery. As a result, McGraw opted not to appear in the physically demanding role in the scripted rodeo show.

The country singer was originally announced as the star — and executive producer — during Netflix’s upfront presentation in May 2024. Us Weekly has reached out for comment but so far McGraw and Netflix haven’t commented publicly on the future of the untitled project.

According to the synopsis, the show was set in the high-stakes world of bull riding and revolved around a champion rider “at a life-changing crossroads.” The character’s world is turned upside down by a “fearless young competitor who challenges his beliefs and uncovers buried secrets, forcing him to confront his past.”

Shocking TV Exits Through the Years

McGraw is no stranger to appearing in front of the camera after skyrocketing to fame for his music. Over the years, McGraw has expanded into acting with roles in movies like Friday Night Lights, Tomorrowland, The Blind Side, Country Strong and more.

More recently, McGraw and wife Faith Hill shared the small screen on Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone prequel 1883. McGraw, who exchanged vows with Hill, 57, in 1996, praised her for remaining by his side and helping him amid his sobriety journey.

“I don’t think I could stand up straight without leaning on her in everything that I do,” McGraw, 56, told Yahoo Music in August 2023. “It is not a linear path. There’s setbacks and there’s times you move forward and do great, and there’s times you set back.”

He continued: “And that’ll probably be a process throughout the rest of my life and something that I have to be diligent about and really continue to work at. And I think [my song ‘Hey Whiskey’] is helpful in that regard. It was very cathartic to me, in a lot of ways.”

McGraw recalled hitting rock bottom with his drinking before turning to his wife for help.

Tim McGraw Shares Vintage Faith Hill Photo on NYE: 'Still Goin Strong'

“I remember a moment when I was getting out of bed and going to the liquor cabinet and taking a big shot at 8:00 in the morning and thinking, ‘I have to wake the kids up,’” McGraw, who shares daughters Gracie, 27, Maggie, 26, and Audrey, 23, with Hill, told Esquire in 2021. “I went straight to my wife and said, ‘This is where I’m at.’ I was scared. She just grabbed me and hugged me and changed my life.”

McGraw said his outlook on love changed because of Hill, adding, “My wife always says, ‘You’re not scared of anything.’ I say, ‘Ehhh, one thing. I’m looking at it right now.’ I didn’t know love could feel so good. Was it an emotion? Was it a lifestyle? Was it an imaginary thing? But love is all of those things.”

He concluded: “Love is being angry. Love is not talking for a day. Love is getting in each other’s face. Love is accepting that I’m wrong. Love is a 360-degree thing. It’s not linear. They always say you’re not supposed to fight in front of your kids. Everybody fights in front of their kids. That’s part of the deal.”

Patrick Mahomes’ Dad Throws Shade at Bills Fans After AFC Championship

The war of words between the Mahomes family and Bills Mafia is showing no signs of slowing down. 

Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, took to social media to gloat just hours after the Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, January 26.

“Today is a great day to not be from Buffalo…,” Mahomes Sr., 54, wrote via X on Monday, January 27. 

Naturally, the replies to Mahomes Sr.’s post were not kind, with many Bills fans referencing his multiple drunk driving arrests. Mahomes Sr. served a 10-day jail sentence in October 2024 after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated in February 2024.

In 2018, Mahomes pleaded guilty to a previous DWI arrest and was sentenced to 40 days in jail.

Mahomes Sr. attended Sunday’s AFC Championship to watch his son in person. After the game, he was pictured with the Chiefs star on the field at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium alongside Mahomes Sr.’s ex-wife, Randi Mahomes, his younger son, Jackson Mahomes and his daughter-in-law, Brittany Mahomes

The group was also joined by Randi’s daughter, Mia, from another relationship after she and Mahomes Sr. divorced in 2006. 

“All glory to God for this incredible opportunity to witness history in the making,” Randi wrote via Instagram alongside the family photo on Monday. “So grateful to watch you pour your heart into what you love, son!”

Mahomes Sr.’s social media dig came on the heels of Brittany, 29, airing her own grievances with the Bills fan base. Via her Instagram Story, Brittany shared a photo of a Kermit the Frog doll wearing a No. 15 Mahomes jersey hanging from a pole, presumably orchestrated by Bills fans.

Chiefs’ Drue Tranquill and Dave Portnoy Are Feuding Over AFC Title Game

“Do we remember this Buffalo? Absolutely disgusting,” she wrote. “So as you go home tonight, I pray we become better people.” 

In the moments after the Chiefs’ victory on Sunday, Brittany was able to savor the win with her friend Taylor Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce

After the pair made their way down to the field, Swift, 35, was caught on camera thanking Brittany for being her support system through the playoffs. “You kept me so calm the last couple of weeks,” Swift told her. 

“I did not know what to do,” Swift added. “I was like, ‘Tell me it’s going to be OK.”

The Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9.

‘Deal or No Deal Island’ Cast Gets Cut Throat in Axe Throwing Game: Watch

The Deal or No Deal Island season 2 cast is not playing around when it comes to getting immunity.

“I have to throw an axe into my face,” Dr. Will Kirby explains in Us Weekly’s exclusive first look at the Tuesday, January 28, episode. “I really need immunity. If I don’t I’m going to be out pretty quickly.”

In the video, the contestants are challenged by the banker in an axe-throwing competition. Each remaining player has their picture on a target with two bullseyes in the dead center. If an axe makes it directly into the target circles, they’ll be safe from facing off against the banker in the nightly game of Deal or No Deal. If the axe doesn’t land in the zone, there’s a chance they will go home.

The Big Brother legend declares that the “pressure is on” as he steps forward to throw his axe. Dr Will tosses the tool aiming for his face. While the axe hits Dr. Will’s face, it’s resting just outside the bullseye.

Parvati Shallow Calls Dr. Will 'A Stalker' With 'Weird Fashion Choices'

“A hit,” host Joe Manganiello declares, adding that while it was “not on the bullseye” another one of the players could try to hit Dr. Will’s face again and attempt to hit the center.

Joe then calls up Alexis Lete — who goes by her last name — to go next. Instead of going for immunity for herself, Lete decides she’s going to help out ally Phillip Solomon.

“I think Phil is a really likable guy,” the former volleyball player says in a confessional. “He’s an athletic trainer. I think he’s someone who could do really well in this competition.”

Lete throws the axe and hits right outside of the bullseye. Joe calls up Parvati Shallow to toss next. The former Survivor winner explains that she’s going to try to keep herself safe after castmate La Shell Wooten hinted she was a potential target.

“La Shell came up to me and said that I’m the biggest threat,” Parvati says in a confessional. “So it’s possible that people have me in their targets. And clearly, I’m a threat.”

Parvati hurls the axe at her portrait and directly hits it in the center. Several of her fellow competitors applaud the reality legend for making the impressive shot.

“There you go easy!” Joe shouts as David Genat gives Parvati a subtle thumbs up.

Next, Phillip is called up to play and he explains he’s going to go aim for Seychelle Cordero, who has found herself on the bottom of the totem pole so far.

“I think I’m gonna go for Seychelle, just based on trying to get the bottom two instead of the top two,” he explains of his strategy.

Phllip hits Seychelle’s photo but nowhere near the bullseye. As Seychelle gears up to take her turn, she declares to Joe she’s aiming for herself to avoid being in the bottom — which rubs Phillip the wrong way.

“My axe is in there. She looks over at me as if to be like I’m sorry,” Philip shares. “And I look over at her to be like, ‘Hey quick question. What the f—?’”

Deal or No Deal Island’s Rock Says Castmates ‘Talked So Much S—’

Seychelle lightly tosses the axe and hits directly into the center of the target. The rest of the players are astonished but also cheer her impressive shot. Joe looks surprised himself and gives her a high five. The flight attendant approaches Phillip to explain her decision.

“I had to try to be safe, and I hope you understand that,” Seychelle says to Phillip who ultimately gives her a side hug before saying, “Yeah I got you.”

Deal or No Deal Island airs on NBC on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. and is available to stream on Peacock the next day.

Erin Lichy Reacts to Brynn Whitfield's 'Sister' Comment After 'RHONY' Finale

Erin Lichy Reacts to Brynn Whitfield Sister Comment

Erin Lichy has a lot of thoughts about fellow Real Housewives of New York City star Brynn Whitfield’s actions following the show’s explosive season 15 finale.

Erin, 37, said during her Tuesday, January 28 appearance on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast that Brynn’s Rolling Stone interview “triggered the f—” out of her — and she “lost it.”

When she read the article, which was published on January 22, Erin was shocked that the drama was “still going on” and couldn’t believe Brynn referred to her as “a sister.” (Erin addressed this in an Instagram comment at the time.)

“Like we’re still doubling down and calling me like a sister when you hadn’t spoken to me at all,” Erin continued. “Not only [not] spoken to me, blocked me.”

Erin speculated during the podcast episode that Brynn, age, blocked her following a past text conversation in which Ubah Hassan’s name was brought up.

Where Do 'RHONY' Stars Stand With Brynn Whitfield After Season 15 Finale?

Brynn’s relationship with the RHONY women became fractured following the finale, which aired earlier this month. During a cast vacation to Puerto Rico, Ubah made a comment alleging that Brynn had slept with someone to get on the show. In a later scene, Brynn then detailed her past sexual assault to some of the other women, claiming that Ubah had known about it ­— which a visibly upset Ubah then denied. Brynn eventually admitted that she didn’t know if Ubah had “clocked it” when she detailed the trauma during a past phone conversation.

“I guess she had remembered the other times that she had texted me and I’d said, ‘You know, Ubah’s really upset about what happened.’ I guess she didn’t like that,” Erin said during Tuesday’s podcast appearance. “She didn’t like that I was saying that Ubah was upset because she was the one who’s supposed to be upset, I guess, after this whole thing. So, she blocked me. I didn’t speak to her for months until my father passed away [in October 2024].”

Erin said that Brynn has “since reached out” to her.

“I was like, ‘I’m sorry, but I don’t have the capacity right now to have these conversations. You blocked me like as though I did something wrong.’ She was like, ‘I’m sorry, I blocked you. I mean, I got an apology,” she said, returning to Brynn’s “sister” comment.

“How are we sisters? Like, you hate me, apparently. I’m blocked,” Erin continued. “Sisters? I talk to my sister every single day. That’s not like my version of sisterhood here.”

RHONY's Brynn Teases 'Friendships and Relationships Change' This Season

Erin also addressed the possibility of Brynn’s return to RHONY for season 16 — but did not confirm anything.

“I think it would be really hard for me to trust anything. I mean, how do you do that? How do you, how do you like overlook something like the finale? How do you overlook an event like that?” Erin wondered, adding that she doesn’t think anyone from the RHONY cast still talks to Brynn after the shocking revelations of the finale.

“I really, truly from the bottom of my heart, wish her in the best. I really, really do,” Erin continued. “She’s got qualities that are incredible, and she’s really intelligent, and she’s very charismatic. It’s a shame for someone with all these talents to not go far in life.”

The Real Housewives of New York City airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET, with part one of the season 15 reunion premiering January 28.
