Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' Family Guide: Wife Allison Holker, 3 Kids and More

Stephen “tWitch” Boss is survived by his wife, children and more extended relatives after his December 2022 death at age 40.

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us,” Boss’ wife, Allison Holker, said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times at the time. “Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”

The So You Think You Can Dance alums began dating after competing on the dance competition in 2010. They shared three children together: Weslie, Maddox and Zaia. (Boss adopted Weslie, Holker’s daughter from a previous relationship.)

Though tWitch and Holker initially met in 2006, sparks didn’t fly until seeing each other again in 2010 on the So You Think You Can Dance: All-Stars competition. The pair tied the knot three years later and welcomed son Maddox in 2016 and daughter Zaia in 2019. The Stomp the Yard: Homecoming actor also adopted Holker’s daughter, Weslie, from a previous relationship.
Three days before his death, tWitch and Holker — who, in addition to her own career as a professional dancer, appeared as a cheerleader in the first two High School Musical films — celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary. “Happy anniversary my love @allisonholker #9years ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” the choreographer wrote via Instagram at the time, alongside a black-and-white photo of the two dancing at their wedding.
The following day, the couple uploaded a joint video of them rocking around the Christmas tree. “HOLIDAY SUNDAY FUNDAY DANCE !!!” the twosome captioned the sweet clip. Holker confirmed her husband’s death one day after his passing, paying tribute to him in her statement at the time.
Holker wrote her This Far memoir, which was released in 2025, that charted the couple’s relationship. She also claimed that Boss had struggled with addiction ahead of his passing, which sparked criticism from his other relatives and friends. Holker insisted that she only wrote the book to “help other people” and share the pair’s respective stories.

tWitch adopted Weslie, Holker’s daughter from a previous relationship. Based on the teen's Instagram account, which is run by her parents, she plays high school soccer and has done some modeling. ​While mourning tWitch, Jodie Sweetin told Entertainment Tonight that her daughter Zoie is friends with Weslie as they go to the same school.

The dancers welcomed their only son, Maddox, into the world in 2016. Their little boy — who began first grade in August 2022 — was frequently featured on his dad’s Instagram, including a sweet video where he was doing “the running man” dance move while tWitch picked him up.
“Okay this was a good idea until it wasn’t. Hindsight is 20/20…….and a lot less painful in this case,” the former Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ joked at the time. “Can’t front though, Maddox form is amazing. 🤣🤣.”

Holker and tWitch’s youngest child, Zaia, was born in November 2016. The couple celebrated their little girl’s 3rd birthday in November 2022. “This is 3!! Can’t believe how quickly this time has passed!So proud of our baby Z,” tWitch wrote at the time, alongside a clip of photos of their little one throughout the years. “We love you Zaia and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 🎁🎈🎊🎉🎂.”

Along with his other family members, tWitch often shared sweet photos and videos with his mom via social media. In October 2022, the ABC alum celebrated his mother’s birthday with a heartfelt post and a carousel of family photos.
“Mom thank you for life and thank you for love,” he wrote at the time. “Love you to the moon and back and back again.”
Earlier that month, Alexander danced with her son and daughter-in-law on the app. “Ayyyye you know it’s a good day when mom is out here grooving with us!!” tWitch captioned the video.
Days after her son's passing, Alexander took to her Instagram Story to thank everyone for their well-wishes and pay tribute to tWitch. "Stephen Laurel, your mother loves you to eternity and beyond," she penned.

In the wake of his brother’s death, Deondre shared multiple posts paying tribute to tWitch.
In September, he gave the Step Up: Revolution star a sweet shout-out. “This dude @sir_twitch_alot is the definition of a true brother,” Deondre captioned the image of him and tWitch smiling at the camera. “We can be completely honest with each other and allow for a difference of opinion. We build each other up by taking action. It’s amazing to have such a role model. Love you much you lame ass 😂.”

Stephen’s younger brother honored his late sibling with an Instagram video of the SYTYCD alum busting a move. “The King of this s—t. Effortless,” Cameron wrote days after his brother’s passing. “LONG LIVE STEPHEN TWITCH BOSS.”
tWitch, for his part, paid tribute to his “kid brother” on his 24th birthday in 2017 by sharing a photo of the two as kids via Twitter.
“Even though he is my kid brother, he isn't really a kid anymore especially that today is his 24th birthday,” tWitch wrote at the time. “I still remember this day in 93. Ganny came to pick me up from school and simply said ‘He's here’. From bottle feeds, power ranger games, tony hawk, dynasty warriors, living room dance sessions, fights, and deep talks, cheers to 24 and much love to 24 more!! Love you Brother!”

Both tWitch and his grandfather shared their love for one another in the days leading up to and after the DJ’s death.
“Shouting the BIGGEST HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GRANDFATHER (DADA)! I love you! IG fam help me wish him happy birthday @mreb38 ❤️❤️❤️ #OGBoss,” tWitch wrote via Instagram several days before his passing, sharing a recent photo of him and his grandpa, as well as a throwback image from his childhood.
Eddy, for his part, paid tribute to his late grandson in a Wednesday, December 14 interview with the Daily Mail. “All I can say is he was a beautiful person that contributed so much to this world and to everyone he met in a positive way,” Eddy told the outlet. “We miss him dearly and we're hurting tremendously.' The supportive grandfather also revealed tWitch’s final text to him. “His last words to me were a simple text that says ‘I love you Dad-Dad.’”

Tom Holland and Zendaya made their love permanent.

After Zendaya, 28, showed off her dainty “T” tattoo at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5, TMZ reported that Holland, 28, got matching ink to honor his fiancée.

According to the outlet, the duo got inked at Boston Tattoo Company on November 27. Holland reportedly got a “Z” sketched into his ribcage.

Tattoo artist Lily Jarnryd later opened up to Us Weekly about tattooing the Spider-Man costars, gushing, “It was a lot of fun, it was lovely meeting them.” She continued, “They are both lovely and I wish them the best. I love my job so much!”

Fans Speculate Zendaya’s Golden Globes Tattoo Is Dedicated to Tom Holland

Zendaya’s side tattoo wasn’t the only thing she showed off at the Golden Globes. She also debuted her engagement ring, which Holland gave her over the holidays. 
Her east-west ring features a horizontal diamond set on a 18-karat white and yellow gold band, reported to be from London-based celebrity jeweler Jessica McCormack.

McCormack describes the cut as “a literal twist on a classic solitaire,” and calls it “the perfect modern engagement ring … beloved by cool brides for its pared-back, non-traditional aesthetic.”

While flashing her engagement ring at the annual awards show, Zendaya wore a burnt orange custom Louis Vuitton gown featuring a strapless sweetheart neckline and a column skirt glammed up with a Watteau train. The Challengers star added even more sparkle to her look with a gleaming Bulgari diamond necklace and a matching ring.

For glam, she pinned her brunette locks up into a chin-length bob that was styled in Old Hollywood curls. She tied her look together with winged eyeliner and long lashes.

That night, Zendaya, who attended the awards without Holland, was up for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for part as Tashi Donaldson in Challengers. Demi Moore ended up taking the trophy home for her role in The Substance.

Timothée Chalamet Gives Sports Radio Host the Ultimate Surprise

Why Timothee Chalamet Allegedly Slid Into the DMs of an ESPN Host

Timothée Chalamet just made one Bob Dylan megafan’s dreams come true — but he might have caused a little family discord in the process.

 

On Wednesday, January 8, sports radio host Chris “Mad Dog” Russo told his followers on social media that he’d been invited to the London premiere of Chalamet’s new Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown after the star slid into his DMs.

 

Russo, 65, a longtime Dylan fan who hosts his own Sirius XM sports radio show,  had spent the weeks ahead of the event sharing his frustration at being left off of the film’s press run. He told listeners that he even reached out to Chalamet’s father in an attempt to have the actor guest on his show and talk about Dylan’s music.

 

Despite those ups and downs, Russo’s efforts were ultimately successful. After Russo went on a lengthy rant about the upcoming premiere on Tuesday, January 7, Chalamet, 29, an avid sports fan, shared the clip and wrote in his Instagram Stories, “We gotta get Mad Dog a ticket to Paris or London or Rome premiere!!!!”

Timothee Chalamet 'Floored' by Bob Dylan's Praise of 'A Complete Unknown'

The next day Russo, who frequently appears on ESPN’s First Take, told cohost Stephen A. Smith that Chalamet had come through. “How about yesterday?” he said. “I go to Cablevision. You ready? I go to Cablevision and return a box. I get a phone call from [Jeff Saturday’s agent] Jill, your agent. She says, ‘Chris, you’re not gonna believe this.’ I says, ‘What’s that?’ ‘Mr. Chalamet called Searchlight, who called us and offered you two tickets to one of those premieres next week in Europe.”

 

Russo decided to take his daughter, Kiera, who will celebrate her birthday the day after the movie’s January 14 premiere in London, as his plus one. This decision prompted another outburst — this time from Chris’ son, Colin, who went off on his own rant about his dad on his show “Russo & Rizzo.”

Spencer Pratt Has His Taylor Swift Merch After L.A. Home Burns in Wildfires

Spencer Pratt may have lost his home in the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, but he still has some of his Taylor Swift merchandise.

Pratt, 41, took to his TikTok on Wednesday, January 8, to respond to a user who wrote, “All your [Swiftie] crap prob gone.” In the video, Pratt stared at the camera as he zoomed in on his white sweater with red writing that read, “TAYLOR SWIFT.”

In the background of the clip, which was set to Swift’s Reputation tune “…Ready For It?”, ocean waves were visible in the distance.

Pratt has been candid through the years about his obsession with Swift, 35. While attending her Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018, he met the pop star. He and his wife, Heidi Montag, also attended the record-breaking Eras Tour in August 2023.

Amid the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area, Pratt’s sister, Stephanie, revealed he and Montag, 38, lost their home. (TMZ was the first to report the news, with sources sharing that the “entire family was able to safely evacuate earlier in the day.”) Us Weekly reached out for comment at the time.

“Honestly looking for advice. I’m frozen in shock. How horrible for my sweet little nephews to watch their house disappear like this. They must be so scared and confused,” Stephanie, 38, shared on Tuesday, January 7, that she was devastated for her family. (Pratt and Montag, who wed in November 2008, share sons Gunner, 6, and Ryker, 13 months.)

Stephanie shared that she was devastated for the family. “I am beyond heartbroken for my brother, Heidi & the kids,” Stephanie added, alongside an image of Spencer watching the fire. “Just spoke to my dad — he tried to save my brother’s house but the wind is so strong there was nothing he could do.”

The next day, Pratt shared a photo of his security camera from one of his son’s rooms. “The one positive sign i saw as our house burned down was ours sons [sic] bed burned in the shape of a heart,” he wrote via Instagram. “A sign of how much love was in this house so thankful for all the years.”

Heidi Montag Shares Tearful Video After L.A. Fires Destroyed Her Home

Later that day, Montag shared insight into her mindset. “The craziest thing when you’re packing for a fire is that your brain just freaks out,” Montag said via her Instagram Story on Wednesday. “You’re like, ‘What do I need? What do I not need?’ It’s so overwhelming packing up a house. I mean, I only have, like, two pairs of jeans, two shirts. I got so much more clothes for the kids.”

Montag said she asked herself, “‘Why didn’t I grab more?” While beginning to get emotional, Montag said, “The main thing is that we’re safe. Got out.”

“You really just panic and then a part of you [thinks], ‘I’m coming back.’ You know, ‘Of course I’m coming back for all [our things].’ So I’m praying for everybody else who’s going through this and all my friends and loved ones,” she said. “Thank God we have our health and our children — and I know that. Just trying to focus on the gratitude. It just kind of comes in waves.”

Kayla Nicole candidly expressed why she was overcome with emotion during a recent food run.

Nicole, 33, the ex of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, posted a video via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, January 8, showing the model clearly upset while sitting in her car. 

“Oh my God, y’all. Can I just be honest for a second?” Nicole said “I just pulled over to get some food in this restaurant. Had to take my food to go because I started just crying uncontrollably, which is very on brand for me.”

Nicole added, “I said it once, I said it again. I am an empath through and through. I feel things so deeply.”

Travis Kelce and Ex-Girlfriend Kayla Nicole: The Way They Were

At the root of Nicole’s emotional state, she explained, were the wildfires that continue to ravage the greater Los Angeles area.

“The state of my city right now,” Nicole continued. “I have family members that are displaced. I have people in my life whose homes are in danger. I know people directly whose homes have burned down.”

Nicole did not mention if she was under threat of evacuation, but noted how the fires have allowed her to feel gratitude for everything she has. 

“I don’t think until moments like this we truly understand the magnitude of the blessing it is to have a home, to have a place to call home,” she said. “A lot of people lost everything last night and I can’t imagine what that feels like.”

Nicole then led a prayer for “anyone else that may still be in harm’s way. I want to pray for our first responders. I want to pray for the people that have been impacted, who already wil have to put their lives back together.”

After the prayer, Nicole wiped away tears before ending the video. 

Nicole, who dated Kelce, 35, on and off for five years before breaking up for good in 2022, is currently appearing on season 3 of the Fox reality series Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test

During the Wednesday, January 7 premiere episode, Nicole addressed the scrutiny she’s faced given Kelce’s relationship with his new A-list girlfriend. 

“He’s dating Taylor Swift,” Nicole said. “I just get a lot of s— online because he’s dating such a mega superstar.”

Which Stars Have Been Affected by the Los Angeles Fires?

Later in the premiere, the Special Forces soldiers pulled up an article from The Independent with the headline: “Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole asks trolls to ‘leave her alone’ as Taylor Swift releases new album.”

The article came out shortly after the release of Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department in April 2024, Nicole posted via X: “There’s just no way I can fully digest all these new albums. I’m still on Cowboy Carter.”

Nicole then fired back at critics who perceived her message to be a direct shot at Swift. 

“I’m unproblematic. Mind my business. Never respond to the constant vitriol,” she posted. “Solid as they come & don’t expect a pat on the back for it either. Just know everyone has a breaking point & would love for ‘yall’ (because you know exactly who you are) to leave me alone.”

Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ Mom Breaks Silence Amid Allison Holker Backlash

Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ mom, Connie Boss Alexander, is breaking her silence one day after her late son’s wife, Allison Holker, included personal details about his life in her upcoming memoir.

“Our family is absolutely appalled by the misleading and hurtful claims made about my son, Stephen Boss,” Boss Alexander wrote via Instagram on Thursday, January 9. “The recent publications spreading untruths about Stephen have crossed every line of decency. As his mother, I will not let these accusations go unanswered. We will not stand by while his name and legacy are tarnished. He doesn’t deserve this, and the kids don’t deserve this.”

Boss Alexander explained that she had “remained quiet and away from the public eye to protect my family” for the past two years.

“My primary focus has been on healing and attempting to remain connected to my grandchildren,” she continued. “But when I read these dreadful claims about my baby, our beloved Stephen, I realized I could not stay silent any longer. Our family will ensure his name and memory are protected, and we are committed to defending his honor.”

The statement was signed with her name, “Connie Boss Alexander.”

In the comments section of the post, former Ellen DeGeneres Show producer Andy Lassner replied, “Sending you so much love.” Us Weekly reached out to Holker’s rep for comment.

Holker received backlash after a Tuesday, January 7, interview about her late husband and her upcoming memoir, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light, in which she discussed his alleged drug issues and childhood sexual abuse. Boss died by suicide in December 2022 at age 40.

Holker, for her part, released a statement explaining her reasoning behind sharing intimate details in her book.

“To fans of Stephen and our family and friends, I want to be clear that my only intention in writing the book is to share my own story as well as part of my life with Stephen to help other people,” Holker wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday. “Just like you, I never really knew what happened, and even as I am trying to put the pieces together I will never really know.”

Allison Holker Defends Book as She's Criticized by tWitch's Family, Costars

Holker added that she hopes readers will be able to see she intended to “celebrate the love and life” she and Boss had with their family. (Holker and Boss shared daughter Zaia, 5, and son Maddox, 8. He was the adoptive father of Holker’s eldest daughter, Wesley, 16.)

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

Holker also claimed that she spoke with several mental health nonprofits over the past “two years” to ensure she accurately detailed the subject. She plans to give proceeds from the memoir to the foundation she created in Boss’ memory.

“My hope is that that we won’t need to lose another husband, brother, father, or friend to suicide,” she said. “I believe that if Stephen were able to choose, he would choose to have his story told if it meant saving even one life. Much love to all those who have supported our family these many years.”

Pamela Anderson has been slaying rich mom style this winter! First, she wore a tailored and timeless winter coat that’s a must-have for any closet. Now, she’s showing Us how to do elegant cozy loungewear — and we found a similar version of her look for just $40!

The 57-year-old actress and model was just spotted arriving at the SiriusXM office in New York City on January 8, 2025. Pulling off the cozy-chic rich mom aesthetic, she wore a simple matching set that consisted of a cream button-up cardigan, some wide leg pants and some black pointed-toe boots. While we’re inspired by her full Chanel look, what we’re not so thrilled by is the high-end price point. Thankfully, we can still get her style with this lookalike version on Amazon for just $40!

Get the Merokeety 2 Piece Waffle Knit Sweater Set (Originally $50) on sale for just $40 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, January 9, 2025, but are subject to change.

Channel Anderson’s rich mom winter style in the Merokeety 2 Piece Waffle Knit Sweater Set. Similar to the I Love You: Recipes from the Heart cookbook author’s pick, this two piece set features a v-neck cardigan and wide leg pants. They also similarly have a front button design and relaxed fit. It’s made of a PBT, viscose, acrylic and polyamide fabric blend, which makes it soft, stretchy and durable too. This also means it can be machine washed, however, the brand recommends washing it in cold water on a delicate cycle to keep it in its true shape.

What we love about this set is that it has a slightly more wearable design that can be used beyond just one occasion! It also has ribbed details on the hems and wrists, which better help to keep cool air out — perfect in the winter! You can get it in Anderson’s color pick of cream, but it also comes in several other options as well like navy, green and black too. Find it in sizes XS to XL.

Meghan Trainor Details 'Panic Attack' 1 Month After Welcoming 2nd Son

Meghan Trainor dealt with mental health challenges after welcoming baby No. 2 in 2023.

“A month after having my second baby, I hit a breaking point,” Trainor, 31, wrote in an essay for Today published on Thursday, January 9. “I’ll never forget it, it’s like it was yesterday — I’m sweating, just thinking about it. I was holding Barry, my newborn, and he was crying and crying. My husband was with our toddler, Riley, putting him to bed, so I was alone with Barry and he would not stop crying and then I was crying.”

She added, “I was having a panic attack and I was just over-exhausted, but I felt like I was dying. I felt if I stood up, I would pass out. I didn’t feel safe holding the baby and at the same time I felt like my body was giving up on me.”

Trainor and her husband, actor Daryl Sabara, welcomed sons Riley and Barry in 2021 and 2023, respectively. Shortly after Barry’s arrival, the singer was aware that something felt different.

Meghan Trainor's Best Quotes About Motherhood, Parenting With Daryl Sabara

“I said to my husband, ‘Daryl, I need help.’ And he said, ‘Yeah, I’m here, no worries.’ And I said, ‘No, no, no, something’s wrong. I need you to take the baby and I need to make some calls. I need to call my mom. I need to call a doctor. I need help,’” Trainor recalled. “So I called everyone. I knew I would get through it, but I needed to hear from my support team that I would get through it. My doctor wrote me a prescription for a medication that would help me that night. I took it and I felt much better.”

Trainor had previously been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after eldest son Riley was born.

“It was months after the birth and I was having nightmares that I was still on the surgical table and I could feel the doctor’s hands inside of me,” she said, referring to her C-section delivery. “She said, ‘Right, so this is a form of PTSD and we’re going to have to talk through this and get through this.’”

Trainor previously struggled with her mental health while she was growing up.

“I was on antidepressants before I had kids. I’m kind of grateful that I had mental health issues before going into pregnancy,” she wrote in Thursday’s essay. “I had already figured out how my brain works. Going into pregnancy, I knew I would need to ask for help and be prepared.”

With her doctors’ recommendations, Trainor continued taking her antidepressant medication throughout both pregnancies.

“In the hospital, a lot of the nurses would look at me and say, ‘Oh, it’s probably because of your antidepressants.’ My doctors and my psychiatrist reassured me that wasn’t true.” Trainor added. “But then, during my second pregnancy, every day I was questioning myself, ‘Was that why Riley went to the NICU?’ I felt crazy. But I, again, stayed on my antidepressants the whole time, and my second baby was also born via C-section and came out crying — perfect.”

After struggling with postpartum changes the first time, Trainor knew to ask for help when Barry arrived.

“My husband and I communicate about everything, even if it’s ruthless and honest,” she stressed. “I told him that during our first postpartum experience, getting up equally as much as he didn’t feel fair because I was recovering from a major surgery. I said, ‘I never told you, but I definitely resented you while you were sleeping and I was pumping and in pain.’ So for our second baby, he got up all night, every night, with Barry, and fed him formula.”

How Kylie Kelce Got 'Roped Into' Being on Jason Kelce's Late-Night Show

How Kylie Kelce Got Roped Into Being on Jason Kelce Late Night Show

Kylie Kelce did not expect to be appearing alongside her husband, Jason Kelce, on his very own late-night talk show.

Kylie, 32, reacted to fan comments about her debut on They Call It Late Night With Jason Kelce on the Thursday, January 9, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, one of which read, “Kylie always looks like she has no idea how she got roped into the next thing,’ like, ‘Damn it, I did not want to do this.’” The comment sparked Kylie to begin a new segment on her podcast dubbed “Places Kylie Has No Business Being.”

“Getting ‘roped into’ this is the perfect way to express how I ended up as the announcer for this,” she joked. “My husband asked me to participate, and being the supportive wife that I am, I said yes, hesitantly.”

She went on to note that she “did not know” that a “Kylie’s Korner” poster would be hanging from her commentary box. “I do appreciate that because you guys know how I love to hide in a corner,” she quipped. “Although it’s not really hiding when you have spotlights and a camera on you. So, I might need to discuss that with someone.”

Every Time Jason Kelce and Wife Kylie Kelce Hilariously Trolled Each Other

They Call It Late Night premiered on ESPN on Saturday, January 3. During the episode, Kylie hilariously read a disclaimer to young viewers, warning them that “this evening’s program is intended for mature audiences. Young viewers, such as your children, may hear language that is inappropriate for them.”

Kylie and Jason, 37, wed in 2018 and share daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 22 months, and are currently expecting their fourth baby girl.

On Thursday’s podcast, another fan asked in a comment if Kylie was nervous to make her late-night debut, to which she said she was not. “I do find it [similar] to our wedding day when I was nervous about walking down the aisle because everyone’s eyes were going to be on me, and then the minute I could see Jason, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m fine. I can get down the aisle. I’ll just focus on him,’” she explained.

Kylie said she had a similar feeling watching her husband host the show. “He is the main focus, and all of that, and he’s crushing it, I didn’t need to get nervous,” she stated. “I had very few lines, luckily. Love that for me. And I also did PA in college for men’s lacrosse games, so I had a little bit of experience.”

Jason Kelce Says His Couch Is 'Broken In' after Poking Fun at Wife Kylie

While Kylie is keeping busy with her podcast and her They Call It Late Night gig, she recently clapped back at online trolls who stated they’re “tired” of her projects. “A while ago, I had talked to my producers, like, ‘Do we do a segment on algorithms and explain to people that if you engage with the content and if you write my name and s—, you’re just going to keep getting me on your timeline?’” she joked on the January 2 episode of “Not Gonna Lie.”

Kylie also reacted to another comment which asked, “Who the f— is Kylie Kelce?” She replied: “I can’t get over the fact that [someone] actually typed this into Twitter when you could have typed this into Google. Also, you typed my name, so you know what you’re going to get? More Kylie Kelce content.”

They Call It Late Night airs Saturdays on ESPN at 1 a.m. ET.

Reality TV Stars Who Evacuated Los Angeles Amid Wildfires

Many reality TV personalities evacuated Los Angeles amid the ongoing wildfires that started in the Pacific Palisades on Tuesday, January 7.

“My heart goes out to those impacted by the fires here in L.A. County,” former Bachelorette Katie Thurston wrote via Instagram Story on Wednesday, January 8. “Waking up this morning and seeing all the updates breaks my heart. I couldn’t sleep this morning hearing the constant emergency vehicles and strong winds and realizing just 10 miles away, destruction is happening.”

She captioned a follow-up post, “This is f—ing scary.”

Within hours, Thurston, 34, packed a go-bag and waited to find out whether she and fiancé Jeff Arcuri needed to evacuate. The New York-based couple were in town for one of Arcuri’s comedy shows and ultimately left home later on Wednesday night.

The Traitors season 3 star and her girlfriend, Robby Hoffman, left early on Wednesday morning.

“We evacuated at 4 a.m. due to heavy smoke and no power,” Windey, 34, wrote via her Instagram Story. “Feel incredibly lucky we have somewhere to go and praying [for] everyone losing their homes, firefighters, medical staff and patients.”

The Selling Sunset star, 43, revealed late on Wednesday night that there was an “immediate evacuation” in her neighborhood.

“Me, G [Flip] and Gracie are safe and out of the house,” Stause wrote via her Instagram Story, referring to her spouse and their pet dog.

The Hills alums lost the home they share with young sons Gunner and Ryker to the blaze after they had already left the L.A. city limits.

“The craziest thing about packing for a fire [is] your brain just freaks out,” Montag, 38, said in a Wednesday TikTok video. “It’s so overwhelming packing up a house. I mean, I only have two pairs of jeans, two shirts. I got so much more clothes for the kids. I’m like, ‘Why didn’t I grab more?’ Thankfully, I grabbed anything and that’s such a blessing and the main thing is that we’re safe.”

Pratt’s parents also learned their home was leveled in the devastating fires, which they watched via security footage after their own evacuation.

The Dancing With the Stars host, 36, revealed via her Instagram Stories late on Wednesday that a fire had broken out “right near [her] house.” She and her dog, Sunny, got in a car and started driving out of the city.

“The reason I say evacuate now, even if it’s not close to you if you have somewhere to go because there’s traffic and you’re gonna be stuck in traffic,” Hough explained in a video. “That is not good. So, everybody please be safe and send prayers to all the first responders and firefighters.”

Kate Middleton’s a Proud Outfit Repeater: See Her Best Recycled Looks

Princess Kate Middleton is an outfit recycling queen.

Take one of her go-tos, for example: her blue Alexander McQueen coat that’s made several appearances over the years. She debuted the pretty closet staple in 2014 and it’s earned a total of four public appearances, which is truly impressive for a royal.

It just so happens that the brunette beauty is a big fan of the luxury British label. Another piece that’s made headlines is the white-and-gold polkadot gown she wore to the BAFTAs on February 2, 2020. The stunner styled the look with a matching gold clutch and dangly earrings. Eight years prior, Middleton wore the same dress to a fancy state dinner while on a royal tour of Malaysia. From a glance, it even looks like she accessorized with the same pieces.

We don’t know about you, but Us Weekly’s dying to know Middleton’s secret to holding on to nearly every fashion item she’s acquired in the past 15+ years.

Keep scrolling to see some of the duchess’ best outfit rewears, including the aforementioned looks and more:

Diddy Documentary Producer Hopes to 'Share More' of Al B. Sure!'s Story

Al B. Sure! has long been an outspoken critic of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Now, in the new Peacock documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, the songwriter and record producer is sharing more of his story.

“Al B. has been through a lot,” executive producer Ari Mark exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the film’s Tuesday, January 14, premiere. “There are definitely more layers to his story, for sure. And hopefully we get the opportunity down the road to share more of that story.”

Sure, 56, was married to the late Kim Porter from 1989 to 1990. The former couple welcomed a son, Quincy Brown, in 1991. Porter later dated Diddy, 55, off and on from 1994 to 2007. Before her death at age 47 in November 2018, the duo welcomed son Christian, 26, and twin daughters Jessie and D’lila, 18.

It’s long been reported that Diddy adopted Quincy, 33, as a toddler, but Sure (whose real name is Albert Joseph Brown) claims in the documentary that it never happened.

Singer Al B. Sure! Wants Death of Diddy’s Ex Kim Porter to Be Investigated

“There’s no adoption. None,” Sure alleged in the film. “And if you haven’t noticed, his name is still Brown. People thought I was absent and things of that nature.”

Sure didn’t share all of his grievances with Diddy in the documentary, but Mark understood that he shared what he felt like he could during filming.

“He definitely has history with Kim and with Sean, and this is part of his family,” Mark told Us. “For him, it just hits really, really close to home. He definitely has a lot of strong opinions about it, and I think a lot of those were shared in the film. And for the ones that weren’t shared, I think you can probably glean how he feels.”

Later in the film, Sure didn’t hesitate to share his belief that Porter did not die of natural causes. (The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office confirmed her cause of death as lobar pneumonia in January 2019.)

Diddy Insiders Speak Out in Trailer for New Peacock Documentary

“That’s just a day that will never, never leave my mind,” Sure said in the film. “And just that empty feeling of like, ‘Nah, something is not right with this.’”

As the documentary notes, medical professionals have found no evidence that Porter died of unnatural causes. Her children, meanwhile, said last year that they accept the official cause of her death.

“Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother. She was our world, and nothing has been the same since she passed,” Quincy, Christian, Jessie and D’lila said in a joint statement in September 2024. “While it has been incredibly difficult to reconcile how she could be taken from us too soon, the cause of her death has long been established. There was no foul play. Grief is a lifelong process, and we ask that everyone respect our request for peace as we continue to cope with her loss every day.”

While Diddy did not participate in the film, his attorneys issued a statement to producers, saying, “Sean Combs unequivocally denies the baseless allegations being circulated in connection with this documentary. Regarding the legal cases referenced, Mr. Combs will not comment on pending litigation. He will fight them in court, where the facts will be distinguished from fiction.”

In a statement to Us, Diddy’s team added, “This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months. It is disappointing to see NBC and Peacock rolling in the same mud as unethical tabloid reporters. By providing a platform for proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations, the documentary is irresponsible journalism of the worst kind.”

Diddy’s Ups and Downs Over the Years: Indictment, Home Raid and More

Diddy is currently in jail awaiting trial after his September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has repeatedly denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Mark, for his part, praised “the courage” it took for Sure and other participants in the documentary to speak out.

“So many have resisted speaking up for years, so this is really the first time they’re opening up,” he told Us. “I hope audiences recognize how tough that must be and that they feel like they have the producers’ and the network’s gratitude. Seeing the man behind the mugshot is something I think that is valuable and important, not just because of an audience’s curiosity. … There is a societal responsibility to tell these types of stories.”

Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy premieres on Peacock Tuesday, January 14.

This Brand-New Dry Shampoo 'Puff' Will Replace Your Current Go-To

People set some lofty goals around the New Year. From cutting sugar and hitting the gym eight days a week to having fewer cocktails, spending less money and going to bed earlier, everyone seems to have a multitude of ambitions for 2025. If you haven’t set goals yet, have fun with it! Your goals don’t have to be life-altering; just things you can stick to and measure.

As someone who already eats healthy (most of the time) and exercises daily, my goals look a little different. While I have a generally healthy lifestyle, I’m lacking in the clean beauty department — like, severely lacking. I rarely check the laundry list of ingredients in my soaps, shampoos, makeup products, moisturizers or dry shampoos.

Your Hair Won't Grow Back Thicker With This Bestselling $14 Dermaplane Razor

Dry shampoos are particularly chemical-laden, especially the sprays that contain aerosol, drying alcohols, silicones, talc and other harmful additives. I’ve been using the same dry shampoo spray for years, but it wasn’t until I tried this Dry Shampoo Powder Puff that I realized how unnecessary the chemicals really are. This puff works ten times better and is much healthier for my hair, my lungs and the environment. What a win!

Instead of chemicals, this powder contains refreshing milled starches, biotin, copper peptides and an antioxidant-filled energy complex to support the hair without clogging your scalp. Almost all of the ingredients are naturally derived! And yes, it really works. In addition to instantly absorbing oil and refreshing roots, 90% of study participants noticed fuller, denser roots, added volume and less oiliness over time.

While some dry shampoos are formulated for specific hair textures and types, this puff provides a convenient refresh for any hair, whether straight, wavy, curly, thick, fine or some combination of the above. The talc and benzene-free powder comes in two shades, translucent and tinted. As a hardcore brunette, I typically opt for tinted, however I’ve been loving the translucent shade; it’s clean, mess-free, blendable and universal, so I can share it with my girls when they need it!

Something else that makes this mattifying formula a must-have is the smell. It smells like citrus and flowers without going overboard (if you know what I mean) and has a musky vanilla finish. If I didn’t know that this was a dry shampoo scent, I’d probably think it was perfume!

Before your first use, be sure to remove the internal sticker and pat the puff upside down a few times to get the powder flowing. From there, you’re set to pat it directly onto your scalp, massage it in and watch the magic happen. I’ll be living in my clean beauty era this year . . . join me!

Lily Allen Admits She's 'Really Not in a Good Place,' Denies Rehab Rumors

Lily Allen Admits Shes Really Not in a Good Place Denies Rehab Rumors
Lily Allen Shane Anthony Sinclair/Getty Images for Mission 44

Lily Allen candidly addressed her ongoing mental health struggles — and shut down rumors she was going to rehab following a relapse.

During the Thursday, January 9, episode of her “Miss Me?” podcast, Allen, 39, announced she was stepping back while “finding it really hard to be interested in anything” at the moment.

“I’m really not in a good place,” she explained. “I know I’ve been talking about it for months, but I’ve been spiraling and spiraling and spiraling and it’s got out of control.”

Allen recalled having a “panic attack” at an event recently, adding, “I went to see something at the theater the other night with my [friends] Carlo and Claire, and I had to leave at halftime. I just can’t concentrate on anything except the pain that I’m going through.”

Lily Allen and David Harbour Go on Christmas Safari

The singer, who is married to actor David Harbour, didn’t specify what was causing the personal decline. “It’s really, really hard,” she added before discussing her break from podcasting. “I’m going away next week. You’re not gonna hear me for a few weeks, listeners.”

Allen also used the opportunity to shut down “vicious rumors” she had relapsed and was going to rehab. She has often used her podcast as a platform to discuss mental health — revealing in December 2024 that she had been having difficulty eating for the last three years after suffering from bulimia in the past.

“I’ve been going through a tough time over the last few months and my eating has become a real issue,” she said on her show about how she didn’t tell her therapist about the issues. “It’s just because it hasn’t seemed at the top of the list of the important things that I need to talk about. I’m really not in a great place mentally at the moment.”

The emotional update came after Allen previously opened up about her journey to being five years sober.

“I think that addiction runs deep in my family, so self-medicating was going to be on the cards. For me, it didn’t really feel like an ‘if,’ it was a ‘when,’” Allen, who is the daughter of comedian Keith Allen, told The Times in November 2024. “The journey of sobriety isn’t singular, and it isn’t linear. So if sharing my own experiences and struggles helps even just one person process what they’re going through, then it’s all worth it.”

Drew Carey Reflects on His Battle With Depression and 2 Suicide Attempts

Allen, who shares daughters Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 12, with ex Sam Cooper, elaborated on how her sobriety affects her marriage to Harbour, 49.

“We don’t really talk about it,” Allen explained. “I don’t think I’d ever had sex with anybody not drunk before I got together with him. So that was different for sure.”

She continued: “It’s a totally different thing. It’s unavoidable, conscious and real. He had a lot of experience with it, so it’s been helpful to do it with someone that’s long-in-the-tooth in that game.”

Teddy Swims, Raiche Wright Announce They're Expecting 1st Baby

Teddy Swims is going to be a dad!

The “Lose Control” singer and his partner, fellow performer Raiche Wright, are expecting their first baby together.

The couple shared the big news in an Instagram post on Wednesday, January 8.

Alongside photos of Swims (whose birth name is Jaten Collin Dimsdale) and Wright on the beach, Wright wrote, “We can’t wait to meet you baby.”

Over the last year, after making their relationship known to the public, the singers have been seen on stage performing together quite a bit, Billboard reports.

While talking about Wright in a July interview with The Kyle & Jackie O Show, Swims opened up about dating someone also in the music industry.

Lindsay Hubbard, Mandy Moore and More Stars Who Welcomed Babies in 2024 

“She does what I do, which is great. Because it’s, like, maybe 3 a.m., and I’m calling her and she’s like, ‘Yeah, yeah, I’m in a session. I’m recording vocals.’ And I’m like, ‘Girl, yeah, handle your business, baby.’”

On Wright’s 29th birthday, Swims praised his partner, calling her “my sweet girl.”

“My sweet girl. You are truly the divine feminine,” he wrote alongside a handful of photos of the two of them together.

“You are the most perceptive and caring person I’ve ever met. You’re so beautiful inside and out. So nurturing yet so tough. You coddle me and challenge me. I’m looking forward to loving you forever and ever and I’m so thankful and lucky to call you mine.”

“I love you. Happy birthday angel,” he continued, adding her 29th year “is going to bring you everything you desire, need, and so much more! I’m so happy to be by your side and support you through it all.”

In May 2024, Wright shared a video of her and Swims sharing the stage.

Fans gushed over how Swims looked at Wright.

“Omg I’m SO obsessed with you two!!!! Get you a man who looks at you the way (Swims) looks at Raiche,” a comment read. “I [expletive] love you girl, and I love watching your happiness and success. Literally fills my heart with so much joy.”

“Do you know how difficult it is to go through a tube of lip gloss, or any lip product for that matter? It’s such a rarity for me to make any sort of dent, yet I’ve completely used up three tubes of this lip plumper because it’s simply that good. The substantial gloss stays put for hours and it provides my lips with a natural plumping effect that rivals professional injections — sans needles or any stinging sensation.” — Mary Honkus, Commerce Writer

Other stars such as Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Diane Warren, Anna Faris, Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal and Melissa Rivers have lost their homes. The fires began to spread on Tuesday, January 7, as a result of Santa Ana wind gusts, causing devastation and forcing thousands to evacuate the area.

Lively’s support for the fire victims marked her return to social media after filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni, 40, last month. In docs first obtained by The New York Times, she accused Baldoni of acting inappropriately on the set of It Ends With Us and alleged he attempted to launch a smear campaign against her to “destroy” her career.

In a December 2024 statement to Us, Lively noted, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”

Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman denied the actress’ “outrageous” accusations in a statement of his own, instead alleging that she threatened not to show up on set or promote the film unless certain demands were met. (Lively officially filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel, and Wayfarer Studios on December 31, 2024.)

Baldoni, meanwhile, filed a $250 million lawsuit against the Times, further accusing Lively of trying to ban him from an It Ends With Us premiere and kicking him out of the film’s editing process. A spokesperson for the outlet defended their “meticulously and responsibly reported” story in a statement to Us last month.

During a recent interview with NBC News, Freedman insisted that Baldoni never wanted to “hurt” Lively but confirmed that the actor “absolutely” plans to countersue and “release every single text” exchanged between the costars.

Lively’s attorneys denounced the “attacks” from Baldoni and his team in a statement to Us on Monday, January 6, alleging that they “engaged in unlawful, retaliatory astroturfing against Ms. Lively for simply trying to protect herself and others on a film set. And their response to the lawsuit has been to launch more attacks against Ms. Lively since her filing.”

The statement that they “will continue to prosecute her claims in federal court, where the rule of law determines who prevails not hyperbole and threats.” Freedman issued a response one day later, calling out Lively’s “painfully ironic” accusations and reiterating, “We have all the receipts!”
