“I think it feels particularly good, particularly because my royal lines go through France,” Stone, 66, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, January 30, at the American Heart Association’s Red Dress Collection Concert. “My grandparents founded France.”
According to Stone, “King Hugh and Queen Nora founded France” — a country that also holds special meaning to her.
“[It] is the place that’s very dear to my heart. It’s, like, a second home to my home,” Stone told Us. “All the princes and princesses through Burgundy were my relatives. That’s really beautiful and it’s really touching.”
She added, “I think if my father was alive to know that he had princely heritage, it would really touch his heart. But whether he knew it or not, my father had the air of kings.”
Stone discovered her heritage during an appearance on Finding Your Roots that aired last month. Show host Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. informed the Basic Instinct star that her father’s family line dated back to medieval times. In fact, famed Holy Roman Empire monarch Charlemagne is Stone’s 38th great-grandfather.
“Well if you want to see someone whose mind is completely blown, here it is,” she quipped on the episode. “There wasn’t time or moments to even think about [whether] there [was] anybody before them; there wasn’t the luxury of imagining ‘who were your ancestors.’ It’s so important to know who your people are. It’s really nice to be able to find that out.”

Stone brought her newfound regal sensibilities as the host of the AHA’s annual Red Dress Collection concert, which supports the organization’s Go Red for Women campaign and fighting cardiovascular diseases.
Stone embodied old-school Hollywood glam in a red sequined jumpsuit, which she paired with silver pumps, a coordinating choker necklace and hoop earrings. She accessorized her ensemble with bright, red lipstick.
The gala, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, paid homage to a cause close to Stone’s heart as a stroke survivor. She previously suffered a brain hemorrhage in 2001.
“My recovery period was hell, quite frankly,” Stone recalled to Brain & Life Magazine in 2018. “I lost 18 percent of my body mass in nine days. I came out of the hospital looking like teeth on a stick. At that time, they didn’t have stroke recovery programs. Months later, I was really, really struggling.”
Stone’s condition steadily improved over time, helped in part by overhauling her diet, quitting alcohol and implementing a daily exercise regimen.
Taylor Swift will presumably walk the 2025 Grammy Awards red carpet solo, as it would be highly improbable for boyfriend Travis Kelce to attend the ceremony given his (possibly history-making) NFL schedule.
The Grammys will be held on Sunday, February 2, where Swift, 35, is up for six trophies and is slated to present another category.
It is, however, unlikely that Music’s Biggest Night will become her official red carpet debut with Kelce, also 35. The tight end is currently deep in Kansas City Chiefs practices ahead of Super Bowl LIX.
Kelce, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the rest of Chiefs are currently preparing for their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance. The NFL championship takes place in New Orleans, exactly one week after the Grammys on Sunday, February 9, but the team members have multiple practices and media appearances scheduled prior to kickoff.
The Super Bowl Opening Night is held one day after the Grammys, meaning that Kelce and the Chiefs will be traveling from Missouri to Louisiana in advance. Per the official media schedule, both teams arrive on Sunday. Upon their arrival, athletes will participate in a variety of interviews and practices at local facilities.
The Super Bowl LIX is a rematch of the 2023 game, in which the Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles. The next year, the Chiefs also took home the win over the San Francisco 49ers.
While Swift attended the 2024 game — and is presumably expected to step out at Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans — Kelce also missed last year’s Grammys. At the time, the pop star took home two trophies for Midnights and announced her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department,in her victory speech.

During his pregame press conference, Kelce expressed his pride in Swift’s accomplishments.
“She’s unbelievable. She’s rewriting the history books herself,” he gushed in February 2024, when asked about Swift winning her fourth Album of the Year accolade. “I told her I’ll have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware too.”
He added, “Taylor has an unbelievable fanbase that follows her and supports her throughout her life and it’s been fun to kind of gather the Swifties in the Chiefs Kingdom. It’s been cool to just experience all of that.”
Of course, Kelce was able to come home with some hardware of his own — his third Super Bowl ring. Swift watched in person, celebrating with her boyfriend on the field with a romantic sideline kiss.
In a now-deleted post from 2022, shared via X, Gascón, 52, commented on the rumored feud between Gomez, 32, and Hailey Bieber, according to The Latin Times. Gascón allegedly quoted a photo shared by the Mexican outlet Reforma featuring a photo of Gomez and Bieber, 28, reuniting at the Annual Academy Museum Gala in October 2022, appearing to refute rumors of a feud between them.
“She’s a rich rat who plays the poor b—— whenever she can and will never stop bothering her ex-boyfriend and his wife,” Gascón reportedly wrote at the time, referring to Gomez, her ex Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey. The post was allegedly shared via Gascón’s account, which has been deactivated.
Us Weekly has reached out to reps for both Gascón and Gomez for comment.
Gascón received widespread backlash in January 2025 when past social media posts started circulate online, some of which date back to 2016. In some of the posts, Gascón made derogatory comments about the Muslim population in her native Spain and criticized George Floyd, who was killed by a police officer in the United States in 2020. Gascón has since deleted her X account and apologized for the resurfaced posts.

“As someone in a marginalized community, I know this suffering all too well and I am deeply sorry to those I have caused pain,” she shared in a statement via Netflix, per the Associated Press. “All my life I have fought for a better world. I believe light will always triumph over darkness.”
Gascón’s Emilia Pérez costar Zoe Saldañaaddressed the controversy during a Q&A in London on Friday, January 31, saying she was “still processing.” She explained, “It makes me really sad because I don’t support [it], and I don’t have any tolerance for any negative rhetoric towards people of any group.”
Saldaña, 46, continued, “I can only attest to the experience that I had with each and every individual that was a part, that is a part, of this film, and my experience and my interactions with them was about inclusivity and collaboration and racial, cultural, and gender equity. And it just saddens me. It saddens me that we are having to face this setback right now.”
Emilia Pérez is a musical drama starring Gascón as the leader of a Mexican cartel who fakes her death and transitions into a woman.
Gascón’s posts aside, the film is already shrouded in controversy. While Gascón is the first transgender woman nominated for Best Actress at both the Golden Globes and Academy Awards, Emilia Pérez was notably left out of the nominations for the GLAAD Media Awards in January. In one article, the LGBTQ+ non-profit had called the film “a step backward for trans representation.”

It’s becoming very pricey to attend an NFL game — even if you are a family member of a player.
The prices have continually increased through the years, with an average regular season ticket costing upwards of $375 in 2023.
Football’s biggest day of 2024 is no exception, with Super Bowl LVIII being the most expensive game on record. To watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas, tickets cost about $8,000.
The sticker shock has kept some NFL athletes and their families from buying tickets, including 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey’s mom, Lisa McCaffrey, who confessed she couldn’t afford it.
“We looked into a suite and none of us can afford it,” Lisa said on the “Your Mom” podcast in January 2024. “Not even Christian, moneybags over there nor moneybags Olivia [Culpo]. So, we are not in a suite. I’ll tell you that right now.”
Shortly after Lisa’s admission, Culpo revealed she bought a Super Bowl suite for her fiancée’s mom’s birthday.
Scroll down for what NFL athletes and their families have said about game day ticket prices:

Donna Kelce
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, knows all too well the struggles of attending the Super Bowl after her sons famously faced off against each other in 2023.
“If your child has a heartbeat, you have to pay for them,” Donna told Today in February 2024. “It doesn’t matter if they just were born. If you have a child, even if you’re holding them the whole time, you have to pay the full price.”
Donna noted that “it’s a little pricey” for NFL families to bring their children to the game, but it’s a special moment that’s hard to miss.
“You want them to know that you were there when your father was in the Super Bowl, so that you can tell them that later on in life,” she said.
During an appearance on the Today show later that month, Donna shared that she’d be cheering on Travis at Super Bowl LVIII from the stands rather than a suite.
“You can understand that the boxes in Vegas are multimillion dollars, so I have a feeling I’m not in a box,” she said. “I have a feeling I’m in the stands.”

Travis joked about the steep price of Super Bowl tickets during a February 2024 episode of his and Jason’s “New Heights” podcast.
“Just counting how much money I’m spending on this damn Super Bowl for family and friends to come. Just making sure I’m on top of those finances and losing all this money,” he said when asked how he was prepping before the big game.
49ers linebacker Fred Warner’s wife, Sydney Warner, shared in a February 2023 TikTok that all tickets for home and away games aren’t free. She noted that her husband’s team is offered seats at a discounted rate.

Kylie Kelce
Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, candidly discussed their decision to buy their children tickets to watch their dad play in Super Bowl LVII during their Kelce documentary.
“We are going to pay almost $4,000 for a f–king kid who’s not going to sit in a seat,” Kylie said in the Prime Video film, which dropped in September 2023. “To watch her dad play in a game. That’s bananas.”
When their daughter Elliotte appeared on the screen with her baby doll, Jason asked her whether she wanted to go to the Super Bowl. Elliotte shook her head before adding, “My baby [doll] wants to go to the Super Bowl, too.” (Jason and Kylie also share daughters Wyatt and Bennett.)
Britton Colquitt
The former Denver Broncos punter welcomed his third child just days before the team was set to play in the Super Bowl in 2016. While each player was allotted 15 tickets for the game, each one was worth $1,800 — even for babies.
“There’s no age limit to tickets,” Britton Colquitt told the Denver Post at the time. “It’s $1,800 for our week-old daughter we just had. It’s kind of crazy.”
He explained that while his daughter wouldn’t remember the day, he made the decision to include her.
“If we win and my wife and two kids are there, but she’s not, how do I explain that to her?” Colquitt explained to CBS Sports. “In the pictures, if we win, I’d like her to be in it.”

Lisa McCaffrey
Before Culpo surprised Lisa with a Super Bowl LVIII suite to watch Christian, the NFL star’s mom opened up about her struggles to secure a ticket and shared that her family was able to “negotiate” a group of tickets in a specific section of the stands.
“I don’t exactly understand what it is, but anyway we are in [that area]. Part of the problem is I wanted eight tickets together because I felt strongly about everybody being together,” Lisa said, adding that her husband, Ed McCaffrey, and other sons would be joining her and Culpo. “[Tickets are] outrageously expensive.”
She continued, “[Christian’s] best friends, they can’t afford it, and Christian used all his [allotted] tickets to get these other seats for us. All his good friends, they’re gonna come out and they’re going to go have a watch party somewhere and we’ll find them later.”
When asked via TikTok whether there is a “family room inside the stadium” for player’s families to watch the game, Saints tight end Juwan Johnson’s wife Chanen Johnson quickly set the facts straight.
“No,” Chanen said in the November 2023 video. “I feel like this is a common misconception because a lot of the times whenever you see families on TV it’s because they’re catching a glimpse of them in their suites or where they’re sitting at with their families. But it’s not free. The regular bad seats aren’t free, let alone the suites.”
Channen explained that “cheaper” stadium suites cost about $20,000, whereas others can cost up to $50,000.
Kelly Stafford
Ahead of the NFC Championship game in January 2022, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford’s wife Kelly Stafford announced she was going to purchase tickets for fans after seeing how cost prohibitive they were.
During an episode of her podcast, “The Morning After With Kelly Stafford & Hank,” she shared that she purchased tickets for about 240 people, ranging in price from $850 to $1,200 each.
Emily Bushman
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Matt Bushman’s wife admitted during a February 2024 TikTok video that the pair’s daughters, Andie and Micah, who were born in 2020 and 2023, respectively, would not be present to cheer on their dad during Super Bowl LVIII.
“Just like it was explained in the Kelce documentary, even newborns count as a ticket. So thankfully, my mom’s gonna watch my girls during the game,” Emily said, noting that Super Bowl tickets cost “about four times as much” as tickets to a regular game.

Orlando Brown Jr.
Ahead of the 2024 Super Bowl, former Chiefs player Orlando Brown Jr. spoke out against the NFL’s high ticket prices for the big game. “They’re kind of taking advantage of the players knowing that guys like Christian McCaffrey’s family members are public figures — with his dad [retired NFL pro Ed McCaffrey] being who he is and obviously who he’s with, [Olivia Culpo],” the Cincinnati Bengals player told Page Six in February 2024.
Brown Jr., who spent “60 grand” on 2023 Super Bowl tickets for his family, went on to call the ticket pricing “unfortunate,” adding, “I think they should be able to make suites more affordable for people.”

Reid, a safety for the Kansas City Chiefs, hails from Louisiana. He purchased 30 tickets for his hometown crew to watch the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans.
“Ticket prices are running up, man, like I got 30 of ‘em,” Reid said during a pregame press conference in January 2025. “I mean, we’re excited to go play and we’re chasing glory, but we gotta win just so I can break even.”
Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid is aware how expensive seats are at the 2025 Super Bowl.
“Ticket prices are running up, man, like, I got 30 of ‘em,” Reid, 27, said during a Thursday, January 30, press conference. “I mean, we’re excited to go play and we’re chasing glory, but we gotta win just so I can break even.”
The Chiefs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9 in a rematch of the 2023 championship. (Kansas City won the first matchup in 2024, clinching the franchise’s second consecutive Super Bowl victory.)
February’s matchup will be held at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome. According to Ticketmaster, the cheapest ticket price is $4,000 while other seats are retailing for more than $15,000.
All of the athletes and coaches competing in the Big Game are required to purchase tickets to accommodate their guests, just like other fans. At 2023’s championship, now-retired Eagles center Jason Kelce paid $4,000 per ticket for his wife, Kylie Kelce, their eldest two daughters and her OB-GYN to attend the game in Arizona. (Kylie, now 32, was pregnant with baby No. 3 at the time. She is now expecting again.)
The next year, Jason’s brother, Travis Kelce, shelled out $3 million for a private suite at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium for girlfriend Taylor Swift, their two families and respective friends to watch the championship against the San Francisco 49ers.
For Reid, he gets that a Super Bowl ticket is a hot commodity and, as a result, has tried to advise newer teammates to get their own logistics squared away as early as possible.
“Put the work in early, so you’re not playing catch up next week when you’re already doing 50 interviews and your schedule is crazy and everything’s different,” he said on Thursday. “Have your tickets set up, your family settled. Take care of all of that this week, so that way you can focus on ball. We’re not there to have a vacation; we’re there to win a football game and that’ll be the focus.”
“I mean, [it was the] most exciting thing that happened over the last couple of weeks, for me,” he gushed on Thursday of daughter Cielle’s birth. “We’re trading off getting some sleep right now, but it’s just the usual things [of] feeding, sleeping, cleaning diapers. We’re getting a lot of practice at those.”
It is not presently known whether Rand and the couple’s baby girl will attend the Super Bowl.
