King Charles III is breaking Christmas tradition with his annual speech.

The royal family’s official Instagram account shared a photo from Charles’ prerecorded holiday broadcast on Monday, December 23, revealing that this year’s message was filmed in the Fitzrovia Chapel in London. The location appears to have a special connection to the ongoing health crisis Charles, 76, has been experiencing throughout the past year.

“Formerly the chapel of Middlesex Hospital, it is now a space for quiet reflection, discovery and celebration, connecting diverse communities from all faiths or none,” the Instagram caption read, noting that Charles’ grandfather King George VI “laid the foundation stone of the building” in 1928.

This year’s Christmas broadcast was the first time in 14 years that the speech was not filmed on a royal estate. Monday’s Instagram caption also revealed that the Christmas tree featured in the prerecorded package was donated to Croydon BME Forum and Macmillan Cancer Support’s ‘Can You C Me?’ project and will be placed in the Royal Trinity Hospice in London.

Palace Gives Update on Charles' Cancer Days Before Scheduled Royal Return

Every year, the reigning monarch records a Christmas broadcast that gets played via television and radio at 3 p.m. local time. This year’s message comes nearly a year after Charles announced in February that he had been diagnosed with cancer. (The following month, Princess Kate Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis as well.)

A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily)

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” Buckingham Palace shared in a statement at the time. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”

The type of cancer has never been publicly specified. However, Charles has returned to his public-facing duties.

The king is set to continue undergoing chemotherapy in the new year, a recent report revealed on Friday, December 20. The treatment is part of a “managed condition” as his health is already headed in a “positive direction,” ABC News shared at the time.

Look Back at the Royal Family’s Christmas Cards Over the Years

Charles proved he was in good spirits that same day when joking with reporters about his wellbeing.

“I’m still alive,” he joked while at Waltham Forest Town Hall on Friday.

In October, Buckingham Palace confirmed to Hello! Magazine that Charles’ rigorous schedule will not change going into the new year.

“We’re now working on a pretty normal-looking full overseas tour program for next year, which is a high point for us, knowing that we can think in those terms,” the spokesperson said at the time.

Patrick Duffy praised Step by Step for not shying away from the more adult implications about the relationship between his and Suzanne Somers‘ characters.

During an episode of Staci Keanan and Christine Lakin‘s “Keanan and Lakin Give You Déjà Vu” rewatch podcast, the former costars addressed how some viewers referred to the show as “horny” after watching it back over the years.

“I could not believe that anyone would say that,” Keanan, 49, said in an episode from earlier this month. “I thought, ‘What are they talking about? Our show is a very wholesome and sweet family show.’ Now I start [re]watching the show [and I understand].”

Duffy, 75, joked about the undertones, adding, “It’s not like we demanded it. But we always pushed for the reason these two families got together on a whim and on a vacation. They got married after knowing each other for two days.”

‘Step by Step’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

Step by Step chose to lean into the subtext. “It wasn’t because we were both good at playing poker. So every chance that we could, we wanted to go upstairs and we couldn’t because we had a house full of kids, you know. And they wrote to that — and we played to that,” Duffy recalled. “We thought it was important. We could be appropriately attracted to one another and also good parenting models.”

The sitcom, which aired from 1991 to 1998, followed single parents Frank (Duffy) and Carol (Somers) who each had three children from previous relationships. They met by chance and quickly married, blending their families together.

“People have come up to me and have said that watching that show was pivotal for them as a child. They wanted — if they didn’t have one — a dad like that,” Duffy recalled. “One young man came up and said, ‘I watched the show and ever since I started watching the show as a young person, I said, I want to be a dad like that. I wanna have a dad like that and then I wanna be a dad like that if I ever have children.’ So we fulfilled a certain function.”

'90s Stars Then and Now: Melissa Joan Hart, Macaulay Culkin and More

Duffy did have one plot point he wasn’t thrilled to explore on screen.

“I had a disagreement [with the writers] when Suzanne wanted to get pregnant,” he shared about his costar, who died in October 2023. “I thought it was irresponsible. I thought we were a six-child family of a woman who was theoretically a beautician — but we never saw her work after the first two seasons — and a struggling contractor.”

Somers, however, wanted the story line so their characters welcomed daughter Lilly in season 4. “It wasn’t so much that she wanted another child on the show,” Duffy explained. “She just thought she could act that out, being pregnant, and she could. It’s a funny thing to have her doing all the Lucille Ball stuff. She was in heaven, it made her happy. So I was fine.”

The holiday season is upon Us on and off the screen.

ABC, NBC, CBS and more networks have shared their upcoming programming and there’s plenty for fans to choose from. Before Wicked is released in theaters, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are previewing the highly-anticipated movie with a TV special. Over at Freeform, there is never a dull moment with daily festive films and premieres.

There are even holiday-themed episodes for TV shows such as Ghosts, Abbott Elementary and more. For those looking for nostalgia, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and more movies are set to air multiple times throughout December.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck aren’t letting their ongoing divorce stop them from celebrating the holiday season together.

The exes reunited to exchange Christmas gifts at the members-only social club Soho House in West Hollywood on Sunday, December 22. In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Lopez, 55, channeled the winter season by sporting a patterned, oversized knit cardigan, wide-leg jeans and hoop earrings for the lunch outing.

Affleck — who donned a blue top with jeans, a black peacoat and sneakers — was photographed carrying a black tote bag seemingly filled with festive presents.

That same day, Lopez shared a sweet Instagram Story video of her 16-year-old child Emme singing along to Justin Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat” in the car with family. “When all the Kids Get Together For the Holidays,” she captioned the clip. She tagged her sister Lynda in the video, as well as pals Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Michelle Chiaravalle. (Lopez shares twins Emme and Max, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.)

What Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck Have Said About Each Other Post-Split

Affleck’s reunion with his former spouse comes four months after she filed to end their two-year marriage. In her divorce docs, Lopez listed their date of separation as April 26 and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.

Lopez filed for divorce on the second anniversary of the pair’s Georgia wedding ceremony. She and Affleck, 52, initially said “I do” in Las Vegas in July 2022 before holding a second celebration with friends and family one month later.

In August, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the pair’s split was “planned” and that they “had gone through all the details” for their separation before Lopez’s filing. “J.Lo finally pulled the trigger because that was their agreement that she would file, and she was the one who ultimately made the decision,” the insider explained.

A second source later told Us that Lopez and Affleck called it quits after it became “more and more apparent they weren’t a good match,” adding, “It boiled down to [the fact that] they are two different people.”

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s Relationship Timeline

Lopez and Affleck have been publicly spotted together several times since their split. Earlier this month, Lopez joined Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner at a play put on by their kids. (Affleck and Garner, 52, share kids Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.)

Despite continuing to support their blended family, Lopez and Affleck aren’t planning to get back together. “There’s still a lot of love between them, but the divorce is still going forward,” another source exclusively told Us in September.

The insider went on to note: “When they’re together as a family and see the kids together, it reminds them of how good they are as a team and what’s important.”

With controversy surrounding their relationship continuing to build, Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, have both excused themselves from the narrative. 

Hunter, 21, a two-way star for the University of Colorado, and Lenee, 23, both deactivated their Instagram and TikTok accounts over the weekend. The Twitch channel belonging to Hunter, where he routinely live streams, is still active.

The pair made the decision to cut the cord on social media in the face of growing debate about their pending marriage. 

Conversation shifted into overdrive at the Heisman Trophy ceremony on December 14 — where Hunter was recognized as the best player in college football — when viewers at home criticized Lenee for not standing up when Hunter’s name was called. 

Heisman Winner Travis Hunter and Fiancee Leanna’s Relationship Timeline

Videos from Heisman weekend also circulated showing Lenee allegedly getting upset at Hunter, with fans believing it was over him not paying enough attention to her at an Adidas pop-up shop. 

On Monday, December 16, Lenee took to her now-deactivated TikTok account to address the multiple controversies. 

“The things that I see people make up is truly crazy, because it’s not what happened,” Lenee said in the video. “I just think people are finding every single little thing and trying to make it something it’s not. Bird brain individuals are just accepting what they see online.”

Lenee attempted to explain her behavior at the Heisman ceremony, simply stating that she wasn’t quite sure how to act appropriately. 

“This is making me so mad because anyone who knows me knows I support Travis in every win, everything he does,” Lenee said. “Because I truly, truly love that man. He is perfect in my eyes.”

She continued, “When his name was called, if you watch the video, you can see me [start to stand], but his mom didn’t get up. So I was like, ‘Oh, maybe I don’t get up. Maybe I just sit here with her.’ So I sat there.”

Lenee also denied that she and Hunter had any sort of heated discussion at the pop-up shop. 

Elsewhere in the video, Lenee pushed back against the claim that Hunter was in a relationship when the two started dating. 

“I don’t do home-wrecking,” she said. “I’m not a side piece. I don’t stand for any of those things. I support women. I would never do that to another woman because I would never want it done to me.”

In fact, Lenee revealed she actually let Hunter’s initial correspondence with her sit unanswered for months because of his relationship status at the time. 

“Travis, when he first ever DM’d me — when we first met, I said I left him in my DMs for two months and people said, ‘Oh, she left him in DMs until she figured out who he was.’ That is not true at all,” Lenee said. “The real reason Travis sat in my DMs for two months is because he DM’d me when he had a girlfriend.”

Lenee continued, “I instantly knew he had a partner. So, I exited the message and he sat there until he was single.”

In the seven-minute TikTok video, Lenee also turned her attention to a previous comment she made about Hunter not being her “type.”

“I did not mean attractiveness,” Lenee said in the TikTok video. “I don’t have a physical type, period. No two men that I’ve previously dated look the same. My first one was a white cowboy. Second one was a Mexican soccer player. And then I dated a Black man who’s a SoundCloud rapper.”

Lenee continued, “I have never dated the same type physically. I don’t care about what people look like or what they can give me. I date people for who they are as a person, how they honor God and how they treat the people around them.”

Hunter, who is widely expected to be one of the top 5 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, and Lenee made their relationship Instagram official in February 2022 and got engaged two years later.

After Heisman weekend, Hunter took to Twitch and revealed that Lenee had cried herself to sleep following the backlash. 

“Y’all hate on me and then y’all go and hate on my girl,” Hunter said on December 15. “Bro, I feel the same thing that she feels. We’re inseparable, bro. We’re with each other. If she’s hurting, of course I’m going to be hurting. If I’m hurting, of course she’s going to be hurting.”

The couple received the support of Colorado quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, who criticized other athletes and celebrities for taking about Hunter in public. 

“All y’all athletes, entertainers, artist etc if y’all genuine trying to holla at trav y’all know how to get  in touch with him or someone around,” Sanders, 22, wrote via X on Sunday, December 22. “At this point y’all just posting for the algorithm trying to look cool.”

Alix Earle is asking the important questions.

Earle, 24, took to TikTok on Sunday, December 22, to ask her followers if she should have been using Pantene shampoo and conditioner all along, despite the infamous rumor that the product coats hair with wax and weighs it down, or makes it appear greasy.

“This might be crazy of me to say, but how come when I come home and I use my expired Pantene shampoo and conditioner, my hair feels softer than it’s ever felt?” she asked, showing off how shiny and smooth her tresses looked.

“I’m starting to think, maybe I need to switch back,” Earle continued. “I used to bleach the hair off my head and it was down to here,” she added, gesturing to her hips.

The influencer then pulled up a picture of her in high school, proving how long and healthy her mane was.

“That is no extensions, that is somehow my real hair,” Earle exclaimed. “So is it a myth that [Pantene] was bad for [your hair] or what?”

“Seeing my hair that long and healthy makes me sick,” she captioned the post. “I’d do anything.”

Fans agreed with Earle in the comments section, praising the drug store brand for keeping their locks healthy as well. “Expensive shampoos are a scam,” one follower claimed.

A second wrote, “I’m a hairdresser and I don’t believe in expensive hair products.”

More fans suggested that the nice water in Earle’s New Jersey house might be better than the tap in Miami, where Earle currently lives. “It’s the water. The water in Jersey is way better than the water in Miami,” the social media user commented. “My hair does the same.”

Alix Earle Shares Her New Go-to Product to Conceal Acne Breakouts

According to Pantene’s website, the shampoo and conditioner does not coat or weigh down your hair. “As a Pantene scientist, I’m often asked if Pantene is good for hair,” the site reads. “I have zero doubt that it is. I know from the many product test results and from my personal experience of using Pantene on my own hair that the products make hair more manageable, softer, and stronger. They are especially good for repairing hair that has been damaged by coloring, heat-styling, and normal daily life to look and feel healthy.”

The scientist added: “The formulas contain pro-vitamin B5, strengthening lipids and protective antioxidants that work from the inside-out to improve hair’s health.”

Below Deck’s Rocky Dakota and Eddie Lucas served as the guideline for crew members of what not to do while yachting. Chief Stewardess Kate Chastain revealed on the Bravo’s Daily Dish in January 2020 that the season 3 secret hookup “ruined it for everyone” moving forward.

Although Rocky and Eddie’s time together was rough for many on board the ship, the next season brought Ben Robinson and Emily Warburton-Adams’ sweet relationship. The couple lasted a while onshore as well, but ultimately ended called it quits in 2017.

Throughout its five seasons, Below Deck Med also gave life to many memorable couples, including Malia White’s two beaus. She briefly dated Wes Walton during season 2, and her boyfriend, Tom Checketts, joined the cast during season 5.

After dating for more than a year, Malia announced in September 2020 that she and Tom had gone their separate ways. “Yes, Tom and I have split.

Artem Chigvintsev is all smiles with 4-year-old son Matteo in his first Instagram post since Nikki Garcia split.

Chigvintsev, 42, shared four black-and-white photos with his son on Sunday, December 22. In the snaps, the father-son duo are laying down, with two images showing them both laughing with their mouths wide open. Matteo is hugging Chigvintsev, squishing their faces together, in a third image.

The former Dancing With the Stars pro shares Matteo with ex-wife Garcia, 41.

Chigvintsev and Garcia started dating in 2019, two years after they competed together during DWTS season 25. The former couple welcomed Matteo in 2020 and got married in 2022.

Nikki Garcia Claims Artem Grew 'Increasingly Angry' After 'DWTS' Cut

This past August, shortly after Chigvintsev and Garcia celebrated their second wedding anniversary, the professional dancer was arrested for domestic battery and booked on a felony domestic violence charge after an apparent altercation with his then-wife. (The charges against him were dropped in September following a “thorough” investigation, Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley shared at the time.)

Both Chigvintsev and Garcia subsequently filed for divorce following the incident with the former WWE Diva asking for full custody of Matteo and Chigvintsev requesting joint custody. They both filed for restraining orders against each other, which have since been dropped.

Us Weekly confirmed in November that their divorce had been settled.

“Nikki and Artem have settled their divorce and will not be going to court,” Garcia’s rep shared in a statement. “Both parties decided to drop the domestic violence restraining orders against each other in an effort to move on with their lives and effectively coparent their son.”

Garcia broke her silence on the divorce in a December episode of her podcast, “The Nikki & Brie Show,” which she hosts alongside twin sister Brie Garcia.

“I’ve been heartbroken,” Garcia told listeners. “You dream of having this family and you have this incredible love, and it just goes the other way. You go from having a great love story to having a terrible one.”

Garcia further explained her silence, noting that she wanted to “disconnect” to put Matteo’s needs first.

“I’m a mom and my son’s protection and privacy is the most important,” she said. “I was going to do whatever it took for that most importantly, and then just needing space for healing, for facing trauma head-on.”

She said dealing with the divorce was “a struggle” over the past few months.

“I know being a public figure, I have to say a little bit about this, right?” Garcia noted. “After this, I don’t want to ever talk about [it] again, because I truly do want privacy for Matteo. That has been the most important part.”

Tennis pros Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter are engaged!

Boulter, 28, announced the news via Instagram on Monday, December 23.

“We’ve been keeping a small secret … ,” she captioned a photo of her and de Minaur, 25, standing cheek to cheek. Boulter posed with her arm around de Minaur in the snap, showing off an emerald cut diamond engagement ring.

In a post that Boulter shared one week prior, she was dressed in the same clothes and posing at the same waterside location seen in the engagement announcement.

“Today was a good day,” she captioned the picture of herself, seemingly hinting at the proposal.

2024 Olympic Athletes and Their Famous Partners

The tennis power couple began dating in March 2020. Boulter previously shut down engagement speculation when celebrating the duo’s anniversary earlier this year.

“4 years with you (calm down not engaged just the only finger that ring fits. ),” she captioned a March Instagram photo of her and de Minaur smiling at each other. She wore a gold band on her ring finger in the picture.

Boulter, who is currently the British No. 1 in women’s singles, took a moment to gush about her now-fiancé in September.

“Couldn’t be prouder of this man. My forever inspiration,” she captioned several photos of the twosome’s trip to New York City for the U.S. Open. At the event, de Minaur reached his third consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal of the season before losing in straight sets to Jack Draper.

The Australian athlete, who reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of No. 6 in July, told reporters on Sunday, December 22, that despite having his “best year to date” he is “not satisfied” yet.

“I want more. I want to keep pushing myself,” de Minaur said, per Nine’s Wide World of Sports. “I want to one day finish my career knowing that I gave the absolute max and everything I could do to be the best possible tennis player.”

Despite being united by their recent engagement, de Minaur and Boulter will soon be rivals when Great Britain takes on Australia at the United Cup in Perth on New Year’s Day.

Celebrities Who've Dated or Found Love With Athletes

“I don’t think he’s going to be out there cheering for me. Obviously, I’m always supporting him, I support what he does,” Boulter admitted while discussing the upcoming match with Sky Sports on Sunday. “In that match, it’s a very unique situation and something that I’m not that used to. We’ll just try to handle it the best we possibly can, and I’ll be supporting him every single time from the box for the rest of the year.”

While the pair will be rooting against each other on January 1, de Minaur previously celebrated when he and Boulter won titles on the same day. In June, de Minaur won his second grass-court tour-level title in Hertogenbosch, beating Sebastian Korda just hours before Boulter defeated Karolina Pliskova in the Nottingham trophy match.

“Double trouble X Another unreal week @katiecboulter,” de Minaur captioned side-by-side photos of him and Boulter on the court at the time.

One Direction may have hit pause on their music together, but band members Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik continued to hit play when it comes to romance.

Malik’s relationship with fellow English singer Perrie Edwards was a fan-favorite as the couple started dating in 2011 and got engaged two years later. The pair later announced the end of their relationship in 2015. Since then, Malik dated Gigi Hadid on and off from 2015 to 2021. The pair welcomed daughter Khai in September 2020.

Styles, for his part, has dated Taylor Swift, Olivia Wilde and more A-listers both before and after going solo. Horan has also romanced a few stars since signing with 1D, including Hailee Steinfeld in 2018.

Tomlinson, meanwhile, shares son Freddie with ex Briana Jungwirth, while Payne shares son Bear with former flame Cheryl Cole. In October 2024, Us Weekly confirmed that Payne died at age 31.

Below Deck has followed various relationships and flings throughout the franchise — but some stars found love with one another outside their seasons.

Malia White‘s introduction to Below Deck Mediterranean in season 2 came with a love triangle between Adam Glick and Wesley Walton. Although Malia and Wes gave their romance another try offscreen — the couple later pulled the plug on their relationship.

When the now-bosun returned in 2020, she revealed that she was dating chef Tom Checketts. The twosome were reunited when the U.K. native joined season 5 of the show after Hindrigo “Kiko” Lorran was fired by Captain Sandy Yawn.

After the season aired, Malia confirmed that she was no longer dating Tom. In August 2021, Malia hinted that she was dating an engineer that worked alongside her on season 6. That same month, Jake Barker, who only appeared on camera once, posted an Instagram photo of the duo kissing with a heart emoji.

Lindsay Hubbard defended her decision to make her pregnancy announcement a paid partnership.

During the Monday, December 23, episode of Jason Tartick‘s “Trading Secrets” podcast, Hubbard, 39, was asked about the response to her announcing that she was expecting her first baby while promoting Clearblue pregnancy tests.

“People were very torn up about this,” Hubbard, who welcomed daughter Gemma with her boyfriend earlier this month, shared. “They were like, ‘I can’t believe she monetized her pregnancy announcement.’ And it’s like, why not? I’m gonna make the announcement anyway, why not make money from it?”

Hubbard said she was “already going to” share the news of her pregnancy when she saw an opportunity, adding, “I used Clearblue, I used the digital test — that was the test I used back in April when I found out I was pregnant. So why not go to them and say, ‘Hey, I used your test, I’m about to announce my pregnancy, do you want to sponsor this?'”

Summer House’s Lindsay Hubbard’s Dating History: Costars, Bravo Crossovers

After rising to stardom on Bravo’s Summer House, Hubbard has continued to look for ways to bring money into her household.

“This is how I’m making my money,” she noted. “I’m not doing PR anymore, I’m not sitting behind a desk. That was by far the biggest announcement of my entire life. At that point, I think it was the biggest deal [I ever did]. It tied another deal I’d done in the spring.”

Hubbard revealed to Tartick that she brought in $100,000 in social media deals last year alone. She announced her pregnancy in July.

Pregnant 'Summer House' Star Lindsay Hubbard Shows Off Baby Bump in Bikini

“Trigger Warning: This post contains more fireworks than the 4th of July! WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!!,” Hubbard, who has preferred to leave her significant other out of the public eye, wrote at the time. “I truly believe the universe has a bigger plan and this is it! The second I had a feeling, I took a @clearblue Early Digital Pregnancy Test and getting a clear result, in words, made the next steps sooo much easier. My boyfriend and I are beyond excited to welcome our little #HubbCub this Holiday season 2024!!”

Hubbard then shared a post from a social media user that read, “Lindsay would have to make a pregnancy announcement at some point, so why not cash in? What was she supposed to do? Say no, to keep the bitter internet hags happy?”

The reality star added her own thoughts on the matter, writing alongside the post, “My thoughts exactly. “My expenses just doubled so…. Let’s goooo!”

Nearly 15 years after their scandalous divorce made headlines, Tiger Woods and his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, reunited on the golf course. 

Woods, 48, and his 15-year-old son, Charlie Woods — who he shares with Nordegren, 44 — played side-by-side in the PNC Championship in Orlando, Florida over the weekend. 

After walking off the 18th green on Sunday, December 22, Nordegren was there waiting for her ex-husband and son. 

In a video captured by Golf on CBS, Nordegren hugged Tiger before turning her attention to Charlie and the couple’s 17-year-old daughter, Sam, who acted as Tiger and Charlie’s caddy for the weekend. 

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren: How They Got Over Scandal to Coparent

Tiger and Nordegren finalized their divorce in August 2010 after getting married in October 2004. The couple’s relationship unraveled after it was revealed Tiger had been carrying on multiple affairs during their marriage.

A post shared by Golf on CBS (@golfoncbs)

In November 2009, Elin infamously chased Tiger out of the family’s home with a golf club after she found out about her husband’s infidelity. Tiger crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant in front of the house, which would become the catalyst for the couple’s relationship drama becoming public fodder for months. 

Nordegren has since moved on with former NFL player Jordan Cameron, who she has been dating since 2017. The couple share three children together — son Arthur, 5, and daughters Zeta, 2 and Freya, who was born in 2024. Cameron is also the father of a son from a previous relationship. 

Tiger and Charlie, a rising golf star in his own right, lost a sudden-death playoff to two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer and his son, Jason Langer, for the PNC Championship title on Sunday. The tournament is an annual 36-hold exhibition that features familial pairings, usually fathers and sons. 

While Tiger and Charlie might not have emerged victorious, the weekend was still a momentous one for the duo. On Sunday, Charlie hit his first-ever hole-in-one with his Dad there to bear witness.

“It’s the most fun I’ve ever had,” Charlie told NBC Sports after the tournament. “On top of that, made an ace. I don’t think I can top that. It was awesome.”

Tiger was asked what it was like to watch Charlie sink the hole-in-one. 

“It’s one of the highlights that we’ve ever had,” Tiger gushed. “We were talking on the hole previous, he made his first eagle. And now he just made his first hole-in-one. It was a magical two hole stretch. I’m just so happy for him and for the enjoyment that we had as a family.”

Tiger added, “It was a lot of fun, As Charlie said, it was back-and-forth. No one made a mistake today. We had to earn it, and that was the joy of it.”

Michelle Randolph knows Landman viewers are confused by her character Ainsley’s behavior — but she has no regrets about how she chose to play her.

“It’s hard to not be aware of it,” Randolph, 27, told The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday, December 22. “But I disassociate and the thing is, I got the script. I read it. I had my moments, my thoughts.”

Randolph, however, doesn’t disagree that Ainsley’s actions can be confusing. “Some of the things that Ainsley has to say are shocking and there were moments where I thought, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to pull this off,'” she admitted. “I want to find the most human version of this character that I can, and I work really hard at doing that.”

Despite the online backlash, Randolph notes that she sticks to what’s on the page.

Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman’ Unveils 1st Look and Premiere Date

“My job ended when I finished my last day on set, and then I released it. The show went out,” she continued. “I can’t tell people how to interpret my character, but at least it’s sparking conversation. And I’m really proud of the show that we made.”

In Landman, which premiered on Paramount+ in November, Billy Bob Thornton plays a corporate fixer for an oil titan (Jon Hamm). The West Texas-set drama has life-and-death stakes but its Thornton’s scenes with Randolph, who plays his 17-year-old daughter, have gone viral for moments such as her talking to her father about her sex rules while walking around his house — which he shares with two men of similar age — in bikinis and her underwear.

“I worked with a dialect coach, a movement coach and an acting coach and I just studied like crazy. I had about a year almost to prep for her,” Randolph told The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday about her approach to Ainsley. “It was incredibly helpful to kind of sit with that character. I worked really hard to find ways to justify her behavior and make a full human out of something that doesn’t always seem like what a 17-year-old would say, but people like that exist.”

First appearing in Taylor Sheridan‘s 1923 series, Randolph said Landman “required 10 times more prep” for her.

Actors Who Keep Appearing in Taylor Sheridan's Shows: 'Yellowstone' and More

“I wanted to be very careful about the way that Ainsley comes across. There’s only so much that I can control, but you also can control a lot as an actor,” she shared. “And just being around Ali [Larter] and Billy [Bob Thornton] and Jacob [Lofland] and being in Texas really helped create this full person that Ainsley is. She has this free essence about her and she’s wild, and I loved every second of it.”

Randolph urged viewers to give Ainsley the space to evolve, saying, “She’s 17 and she’s growing. I think she gets it more than the audience gets to see. There are moments where your realize that she can be, not manipulative, but she knows how to play her dad, and also her mom. She knows how to get what she wants. She loves her family.”

She concluded: “She is figuring out who she is and meeting different peers and going to school. She’s not just the bratty young daughter; she is a person. We get to see 5 percent of who Ainsley is. Hopefully as the show goes on, we get to see all of who she is.”

New episodes of Landman premiere Sundays on Paramount+

Justin Baldoni’s rise to fame wouldn’t be complete without a supportive family by his side.

The actor gained popularity after playing Rafael Solano on Jane the Virgin from 2014 to 2019. Baldoni has since nabbed various directing roles, allowing him to expand his horizons behind the camera as well. Throughout his ups and downs in Hollywood, Justin has had wife Emily Baldoni by his side.

“I’m so grateful that I get to choose to wake up every day and love this woman,” Justin captioned a July 2024 Instagram post. “But after 11 years of marriage, what has made things so sweet, and what has allowed our relationship to get better and better over time is the fact that I don’t just love her … I also like her. Like, a lot.”

The pair share two kids, Maiya and Maxwell, but the actor’s support system goes way beyond his immediate family. (Justin’s loved ones did not immediately respond when his It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively sued him for sexual harassment in December 2024. Justin denied the “outrageous” claims through his lawyer at the time.)

Sharon and Sam Baldoni

Justin’s parents welcomed their firstborn son in January 1984. The couple raised their family in Los Angeles as part of the Baháʼí Faith, which encourages universal peace and harmony, and Justin has been open about continuing to follow that religion.

“If I could have selected two people to be my parents, I would go back in time and choose them,” Justin gushed during a 2021 interview. “I don’t think a lot of people can say that. My parents are amazing.”

Sara Baldoni

Fans have gotten to know Justin’s younger sister, Sara, through his Instagram posts.

“Sara, I’m not just proud of you, I’m proud of who you are and everything you stand for,” he captioned a social media post in 2016. “Maiya is so lucky to have such a powerful force of positivity as an auntie. I love you so much and I’m so excited to see what you’re going to do next.”

The It Ends With Us star also called his sister “one of the most kind, thoughtful, authentic, loving, generous, happy, and overall incredible women I know.”

Emily Baldoni

Justin and Emily took their relationship public in April 2013, when his 25-minute proposal video went viral. The couple got married that summer.

“We chose someone who is on a lifelong search for growth, who never stops being curious, who stays accountable, and who never, ever gives up,” Justin captioned his July 2024 anniversary post. “We both have these same qualities, and while so many things about us are opposite, no matter how far the world tries to pull us apart, each of those things brings us back together like glue.”

Justin’s wedding vows to his wife have also made headlines, with the actor apologizing for “anything I’ve ever said or done that has hurt you” and his “faults, shortcomings, insecurities and my ego” during the July 2013 ceremony. He got emotional in his speech, promising to “cherish, listen to you, honor you and respect” Emily throughout their marriage.

Maiya Baldoni

Justin and Emily welcomed their first child, a daughter, in June 2015.

Maxwell Baldoni

In October 2017, the couple expanded their family with son Maxwell.

“At the end of the day my goal is to raise good humans,” Justin said about parenting in 2021. “The only way I think we can do that is if we actively teach them the things the world is going to tell them they can’t be. And then they get to decide what qualities they want to have.”

Fans didn’t expect to see Candice Accola and Steven Krueger find love years after finding fame in The Vampire Diaries universe.

Accola rose to fame playing Caroline Forbes on TVD from 2009 to 2017. Krueger, meanwhile, played the role of Josh Rosza in The Vampire Diaries spinoff, The Originals. During her time on The CW series, Accola started dating Joe King. The couple, who got married in 2014, expanded their family with daughters Florence in 2016 and Josephine in 2020.

Us Weekly broke the news in May 2022 that Accola filed for divorce from King. She later started spending time with Krueger at TVD fan conventions and cast reunions.

In December 2023, Accola subtly launched her romance with Krueger on social media when she uploaded a video that included a clip of them kissing. Accola and Krueger have since offered glimpses into their romance.

That same month, Krueger hinted at his plans for parenthood, telling 26 Magazine, “A family is definitely in my future, as well.”

“I’ve been dating. I am going to say that out loud. That feels very personal and new and interesting and super cool and casual to say out loud. But I have,” Accola said on an episode of her “Superbloom” podcast. “Not multiple people — only one. And I don’t even want to get into it.”

Accola hinted she had a “really nice person” in her life, adding, “This is not brand new. This is the most you are going to hear me talk about it. It is good. There’s a smile on my face and joy in my heart.”

Blake Lively followed in her family’s footsteps by joining the entertainment industry.

Born in Los Angeles in 1987, Blake is the youngest of Ernie and Elaine Lively’s five children. Elaine previously welcomed her eldest three children — Lori, Jason and Robyn — with her ex-husband, Ronnie Lively, before marrying Ernie in 1979. The couple later welcomed a son, Eric, and Blake.

Ernie — who adopted his wife’s last name — and Elaine both worked as actors throughout Blake’s childhood, with Elaine also taking on the role of a talent manager. Just like her siblings, Blake also caught the acting bug and became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars with her roles in Gossip Girl, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, A Simple Favor and more projects.

She found her own happy ending with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, whom she married in 2012. The couple share three daughters — James, Inez and Betty — and son Olin.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ Inner Circle: A Complete Guide

Several of Blake’s family members had her back after she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her It Ends With Us costar and director, Justin Baldoni, in December 2024. (Lively also accused Baldoni of creating a “hostile work environment” on set and attempting to ruin her reputation with a smear campaign. (His lawyer denied the “outrageous” accusations in a statement to Us Weekly, claiming the actress filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and threatened not to show up on set or do press for the film “if her demands were not met.”)

Scroll down to get to know Blake’s family:

Ernie Lively

Ernie got his acting start in the ‘70s with roles on TV shows such as The Waltons, McCloud, Fantasy Island, Fame and Falcon Crest. Over the years, he’s appeared in notable projects such as Turner & Hooch, Quantum Leap, Passenger 57, Murder, She Wrote and The West Wing, among others. He even shared the screen with Blake, playing her onscreen father in 2005’s The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and its 2008 sequel.

Ernie died at age 74 of cardiac complications in June 2021 with his family by his side. Blake’s drink company, Betty Buzz, is a nod to her late father, whose mother and sister were named Betty.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' Relationship Timeline

In her December 2024 lawsuit against Baldoni, Blake accused her castmate of exhibiting “shocking and emotionally distressing” behavior, including “[claiming] he could speak to the dead.” Baldoni allegedly told Blake “on several occasions” that “he had spoken to her dead father,” which Blake believed was “off putting and violative.”

Elaine Lively

Blake has joked about inheriting traits from her mother, an actress and talent manager.

“I would like to replace the term ‘hoarder’ in favor of ‘maximalist’. It makes me feel better. Wonder where I get it from,” Blake jokingly captioned a December 2023 Instagram selfie with her mom sporting Tiffany & Co. jewelry. “Me: mom come take a pic for Tiffany with me. Which necklace do you want to wear? Mom: All of them. Me: no. pick your favorite. Mom: ALL of them. Turn on The Makeup Light. … the woman wins. Every time.”

Lori Lively

Born in 1966, Lori is the eldest of Elaine and Ronnie’s three children. Lori has appeared in a number of TV shows and movies over the years, including Working Girl, The Bold and the Beautiful, Melrose Place, ER, Two and a Half Men and The Mentalist.

Lori, Elaine and Robyn joined Blake on the red carpet at the New York City premiere of It Ends With Us in August 2024. “The only thing I loved more than celebrating this magical night with my sister and family was seeing her in this film,” Lori captioned Instagram pics from the event. “If you thought you loved her before, it won’t compare to how you’ll feel after experiencing the pain and joy that she brings to this role. It embodies all that she is in the most beautiful way.”

Jason Lively

Elaine and Ronnie welcomed their second child in 1968. Jason appeared in a number of shows and films throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, including The Dukes of Hazzard, 21 Jump Street and Class of Fear. He took a brief break from acting after appearing in the 1993 video game Return to Zork. His most recent credits are the 2017 films Hickok and The Possessed, per IMDb.

Jason has been married to his wife, Lani Lively, since 2005, and the pair reportedly share three children.

Robyn Lively

Born in 1972, Robyn is the youngest of Elaine and Ronnie’s kids. After a number of small TV gigs, Robyn scored her breakout role as Louise Miller in the 1989 film Teen Witch. She has built a lengthy Hollywood career over the years with roles in The Karate Kid Part III, Twin Peaks, Doogie Howser, M.D., Chicago Hope, Savannah, JAG, Letters to God, 9-1-1: Lone Star and Landman.

She tied the knot with fellow actor Bart Johnson in 1999. The two share sons Baylen and Wyatt, as well as daughter Kate.

The couple each shared messages of support for Blake after she sued Baldoni in December 2024. “FINALLY justice for my sister @blakelively,” Robyn wrote via her Instagram Story at the time, sharing screenshots of The New York Times’ article about the lawsuit.

Blake Lively and Sister Robyn Are All Smiles at 'Deadpool 3' Premiere

Johnson, meanwhile, defended Blake in the comments section of The New York Times’ Instagram post about the drama. “Her complaints were filed during the filming. On record. Long before the public conflict. The cast unfollowed him for a reason. Read this article before spiting [sic] ignorance. His PR team was stellar,” he wrote. “Gross and disgusting but highly effective. Read the article, their text message exchanges and his PR campaign strategy to bury her by any means necessary. No one is with out [sic] faults. But the public got played.”

Eric Lively

Elaine and Ernie welcomed their first child together in 1981. Much like his parents and siblings before him, Eric began his acting career in the early ‘90s with roles in Full House, American Pie and So Weird. In recent years, Eric has starred in shows and movies such as A Minute With Stan Hooper, The L Word, Modern Men, A Madea Christmas and BFFs.

Eric has been married to his wife, Angelina Davydova, since 2005.

Ryan Reynolds

Blake and Reynolds met playing love interests in the 2011 superhero film Green Lantern and began dating shortly after Reynolds finalized his divorce from Scarlett Johansson in 2011. The two tied the knot one year later.

Blake hilariously shut down breakup rumors in July 2024, responding to an Instagram comment which read: “You and Ryan need to post more of each other, there were rumors going around that you two got divorced and I didn’t believe it because you two are literally the perfect couple.” Blake replied: “Haha they wish .”

How Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Parent With 'Working Class' Youth in Mind

James, Inez, Betty and Olin Reynolds

Blake and Reynolds became first-time parents with the birth of their daughter James in 2014. They welcomed Inez and Betty in 2016 and 2019, respectively, and Olin in 2023.

Blake and Reynolds’ close pal Taylor Swift is the godmother of their three girls, and she famously incorporated their names in her 2020 track “Betty.” Director Shawn Levy, meanwhile, is Olin’s godfather.

Reynolds told The Hollywood Reporter in December 2024 that he and Blake “try to give” their children “as normal a life as possible” despite his and Blake’s celebrity status.
