Vacation prep feels like an extreme sport at times. Booking hair and nail appointments and buying travel-sized products can be a lot. Don’t forget about the lengthy process of building a vacay-ready wardrobe.
Thankfully, Kyle Richards took one less thing off the vacation checklist by sharing her favorite travel outfit that’s marked down to $31 right now.
During an Amazon livestream, the TheReal Housewives of Beverly Hills star revealed this matching two-piece set is a surefire way to look “cute and put together” while on the go. Richards gushed about the “super stretchy” fabric and “flattering” side ruching. She even recommended styling it with sneakers for maximum comfort on the go.
This comfy-chic outfit set features stretchy and breathable fabric that makes the trek from TSA to your gate a breeze. According to shoppers, the fabric is lightweight but non-see through, so you can stroll confidently.
The duo features a short-sleeve shirt with flattering side ruching, while the wide-leg bottoms are high-waisted and ultra-roomy. This “tall girl-friendly” set is super versatile as the trousers come in 29” and 31” inch inseams, a detail fashionistas of varying heights love. Plus, it comes in shades ranging from army green to coffee and Richards’ go-to: black.
If a Bravo celeb’s stamp of approval isn’t enough to get you on board, wait until you see what Amazon reviewers have to say about this set. “This shirt is flattering with the ruched sides. It gives a very feminine, casual look,” one happy reviewer shared. “The fit of the pants is superb with just the right length.”
Others highlighted the “super soft” and “medium weight” fabric. “This is my new favorite comfy outfit,” one shopper who snagged it in two shades raved. “[The] fabric is soft and thick, and you can’t see underwear through it.”
Whether you’re traveling non-stop or looking for elevated loungewear, this two-piece set gets the job done.

Nelly has proudly declared that changing diapers is women’s business — or at least no business of his — as if he’s not capable of being an energetic, functioning modern dad in the year 2025.
The rapper, 50, made the stinker of an admission on We Belong Together, the new reality show he and wife Ashanti, 44, are starring in. The couple, who got back together in 2023 after first dating from 2003 to 2013, share son Kareem Kenkaide (known as KK), now 11 months — but maybe share is the wrong word, since it sounds like Ashanti is doing all the heavy lifting here.
“I’ma take you back to this conversation we had before you kicked me under the table,” Nelly told his unimpressed wife after they discussed the fact that he was about to head off on tour without them. “I said, ‘Baby, I’ll give you the world. I just ain’t changing no diaper.’”
“I ain’t going to even lie,” Nelly went on to say. “You know, I ain’t got nothing for him.” Oh yes, for many new moms there comes a moment when you realize that weaponized incompetence is very real, and that many men — not all men, of course NOT ALL MEN! — still think that taking care of their own child is “babysitting.”
Dads not changing diapers in 2025 is not a flex, if it ever was. Women aren’t born knowing how to change diapers, we have to learn it too — and quite often while our insides are falling out, our breasts are throbbing like fiery balls of milky fury and we haven’t slept in three days. Guess what guys, women get tired too! And women don’t love poop! But we know the mess and the eyebags and the chaos are a crucial part of caring for the person you love the most in the world — your baby. As one fan put it on X: “She waited all these years to have a baby by a teenager!” while another referred to the singer as a “married single mom.”
Later in the episode, the “Hot In Herre” star (you know what’s hot? Fresh 3am diapers), is seen bragging to his friends that he’s told Ashanti it’s all on her. “Until he can say, ‘I’m hungry,’ until he can say, ‘I need to use the bathroom,’ it’s gonna be a lot in your lap,” he regales them. “But as soon as he start walking, I told her I said, ‘Enjoy.’ Cause as soon as he get to walking and talking, he with the crew.”
Unusually for a professional musician with a string of global hits behind him and three Grammys, we learned that Nelly also seems to suffer from an ailment that takes down many new dads: selective hearing. “Do y’all really be up at night?” he asks Ashanti. “I’m blessed with the tune-out.” Ashanti quite rightly declares this “absolutely ridiculous.”
And here’s the thing: Ashanti doesn’t seem like the trad wife type. We don’t think she’s cooking up jam in a milkmaid dress while Nelly’s on the road. She’s a confident modern woman who’s had (and still having) her own success in the entertainment business. And hey, having your first baby in your 40s is no joke: she’ll be grappling with a mixture of gratitude at being blessed with a healthy son by the soulmate who got away, and total, all-consuming tiredness.
It could be that this is a lethal combination: is she too happy, or just too exhausted to complain? “I’m just trying to be a better father than I had,” Nelly told People last month, adding that Ashanti was nailing motherhood. “I wish all mothers could see the way she get down a little bit,” he said. “You wish every kid had that type of love.”
Or maybe she’s playing the long game. Maybe her girlfriends have told her to just deal with the diapers and the sleepless nights, because they’ll be over in the blink of an eye, and that’s when parenting gets really challenging. Yup, around about the time Nelly says KK can join his “crew” is when Ashanti should say “Bye babe! I’m going on vacation with the girls!” and leave him to it, knowing that, like all good parents, he has a supply of Band Aids on hand.
So really, when Ashanti said “I’m split about this tour. My first response is I’m super happy for him for putting it together. The wife and mommy side of me is like, ‘F—!’” The wife side of me and mommy side of me is a little sad. You know, Daddy’s gonna be gone for a long time,” maybe she knew exactly what she was doing. She can hunker down for a few months, watching Gilmore Girls with a cute, calm baby in her arms, safe in the knowledge that when that baby turns into a toddler, Nelly will be all over it.
Because there are actually a few things that are worse to deal with than late night diapers that we’re thinking Nelly is planning to lead on (right?): potty training, childcare costs, vomiting bugs taking whole kindergartens down, head lice, organizing birthday parties, awkward conversations with parents you have nothing in common with about how their kid bit your kid, getting your kid to put their shoes on, getting your kid to put down the iPad, telling your kid they can’t have Fortnite, being confronted by a teacher who wants to know why your kid asked another kid if they wanted to “Ride wit me,” puberty, underage drinking, college fees, getting roasted by your kid on TikTok because you wore your socks the wrong way. Yes, there’s a lot of fun in store, — hopefully while Ashanti gets her nails done.
Even Robert DeNiro, 81 — that’s right, more than 30 years older than Nelly — knows that dads need to step up too. He revealed in 2023 that he didn’t change his youngest daughter Gia’s diapers, but was also at pains to emphasize that he was a hands-on parent in many other ways.
In Nelly’s defence — look, we quite like the guy’s music so we’ve got to be nice here — he has done some serious parenting in his time. KK isn’t his first child: he has four more: daughter Chanelle, born in 1994, son Cornell, born in 1999, both with his ex Channetta Valentine, plus he did a truly amazing thing by adopting his sister Jackie Donahue’s kids, Shawn and Sydney, when she tragically died of leukemia in 2005.
In 2021, he spoke to People about fatherhood. “It wasn’t like I was Superman,” he said. “Obviously, Nelly wasn’t there every day, but whatever needed to be done, I was definitely there. I didn’t miss graduations, I showed up for sporting events and whatever I could and a lot of times, I had to be the disciplinarian.” He added: “As bad as I felt and whatever I was going through, I can’t imagine what they [Sydney and Shawn] were going through. It’s one of those situations that you don’t think about, it has to happen, that’s what family does.”
We guess we’ll know how Ashanti really feels about all this when we see what happens next. In February, she told the Today show that she wasn’t done with having babies. “I definitely want more kids, but maybe not right this second,” she said, adding that KK is her “best friend.” She said: “He’s like the sweetest little angel baby. He just laughs and smiles all day. I couldn’t even imagine my life without him now. I’m so happy.”
If she’s happy, then we guess it’s all good — for now. Just as long as she’s googling luxury adults only vacation destinations while she does all those night feeds, with Nelly obliviously sleeping beside her …
JoJo Fletcher — and her family — are officially at the top of their spritz game.
“We had a family dinner and we were like, ‘I’m tired of making these spritzes. They taste different every time, I’m tired of wasting a bottle of Prosecco. Surely this is already canned and ready to go.’ Turns out there wasn’t anything that we liked,” Fletcher, 34, told Us Weekly at a recent dinner for her alcohol brand, Saint Spritz, at the Butcher’s Daughter in New York City. “And so we were like, ‘Should we do this?'”
Noting her family is “very close in general,” Fletcher — who married her Bachelorette winner, Jordan Rodgers, in May 2022 — said “the coolest thing about working with your family is that there’s that trust factor.”
“You can’t find that everywhere. We all know each other better than anybody else,” she said. “So in any work situation, you could have a bad day, you could have a tough time, but they understand you. There’s that level of comfortability that just makes working together so much easier. And also on the other side of that, we can shoot each other straight and not be worried about offending anyone.”
Fletcher works with brother Ben, sister-in-law Mallory and Mallory’s sister, Jordan, on the business. “The two brothers that scared away Ben Higgins — [Mallory’s husband] was the oldest of the two,” she joked to Us, referring to her infamous hometown date on The Bachelor in 2016.
Saint Spritz just celebrated launching at Target and becoming the No. 1 wine cocktail at the retailer. “The fact that we were able to accomplish that within 60 days of launching in Target nationally was like, ‘Holy moly, I think we’re onto something.’ It was so freaking cool. So proud of our team,” Fletcher gushed.
Saint Spritz
So what makes their drinks — available in the flavors Saint Spritz Amalfi, Saint Spritz Hugo and Saint Spritz Sicily — so great?
“We want the consistency of the perfect spritz every time. And I think what we did that was a little different is we tried to make all of ours a little bit more palatable. Sometimes if you order an Aperol spritz at a bar, you’re like, ‘Whoa, this is too syrupy,’ or, ‘This is too bitter.’ We tried to make all of ours very light, refreshing and balanced across the board,” she said, adding that the drinks are free of added sugar and dyes. “We’re so much more aware of what we are putting in our bodies. When I was drinking traditional spritzes, I had no clue about all the things that were in them — Red 40, Yellow 6.”
Calling herself “the detail freak” of the group, Fletcher “spent so much time on the packaging, the aesthetic and the storytelling of the brand.”
Saint Spritz
“It’s the first thing that anybody sees,” she explained. “We went through so many different variations, but we came down to the stripes. We wanted [customers] to think of Italian, striped umbrellas and with those little pops of color to make you just feel happy when you think about your favorite spritz.”
As a reality TV vet herself, Fletcher is aware that she isn’t the first one to create a canned cocktail. On the last season of Summer House, star Kyle Cooke and Southern Charm personality Craig Conover were at odds when Paige DeSorbo’s then-boyfriend worked with a competitor (Spritz Society) to Cooke’s Loverboy.
“I need to call Paige DeSorbo and get her a spritz in her hand and throw it into the mix,” Fletcher joked of missing out on the reality TV spritz wars. “Maybe she’s moved on from that. It’s really funny in the Bravo world.”
If DeSorbo is looking for a drink to sip on, Fletcher would hand her the Hugo.
“Amalfi was our original, inspired by a love of the Aperol spritz. Hugo is the It Girl for me. When we were developing this, it was before Hugo even had its moment in the U.S. so we felt proud to be a little bit ahead of the curve,” she said. “I could drink way too many of these. But I, obviously, love all of them.
During the Sunday, June 29, episode of the hit Peacock series, Cierra, 25, and Iris Kendall sat down for a chat about having their beds next to each other following the Casa Amor recoupling.
“Did you hear me taking my journey?” Cierra asked Iris, 25, who is paired up with TJ Palma. “Well the journey was much longer this time than the first time.”
Cierra teased her encounter with Nic, 24, adding, “And we stopped for food on the way. Hotdogs and hamburgers were ordered. We both had a full course meal. Once we finished eating we ended at a waterfall. It was beautiful.”
Meanwhile over at the other side of the villa, Nic was telling Ace Greene and Taylor Williams about the “best 40 seconds ever.” He admitted it “was still subpar” as his last sexual experience with Cierra earlier this season only lasted 25 seconds (which he upped to 30 seconds in later conversations).

While Cierra and Nic didn’t use the word sex, eagle-eyed viewers who read Us Weekly know that “journey” has another meaning for the Islanders. Hannah Fields, who was dumped earlier this season, recently revealed exclusively to Us how the Islanders find subtle ways to discuss intimate details about their personal lives.
“We had a code name for intimacy,” Hannah, 23, shared. “We would say, ‘How was your journey? What was this journey like?’ Huda [started it when she] said something like, ‘Oh, I had a journey. My journey went all the way.’”
Hannah acknowledged how her own “journey” with Pepe Garcia played out in a now-viral moment.
“We had not slept in, like, 24 hours. It had been three hours after we went to bed,” she told Us of the clip. “You kind of forget that you’re on camera. I literally always forgot that I was being recorded and it would dawn on me because I’d just see a camera and I’d be like, ‘Oh s*** I’m being recorded.’ I really didn’t think I remembered until the next day. I was like, ‘Just don’t talk about it. Nobody’s gonna know. Nobody’s gonna know what happened.’ I sit in the bathroom, like, ‘Do you think they caught that? … No.’ So when I watched the episode, I’m like, ‘Oh, I couldn’t have been less discreet.'”
In addition to Nic and Cierra — and Hannah and Pepe — there were also some obvious “journeys” between Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah Brown before his exit. The rest of the couples have yet to address their “journeys” ahead of the season 7 finale expected later this month.
New episodes of Love Island USA drop every day — but Wednesday — on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET.
Todd Chrisley is not holding back when it comes to his 28-month stay in prison.
Todd, 56, appeared on the Tuesday, July 1, episode of daughter Savannah Chrisley’s “Unlocked” podcast alongside wife Julie Chrisley, which they recorded three weeks following their May 28 prison release.
When Savannah asked her dad whether it felt “weird” returning to the podcast world after being incarcerated, he had quite the response.
“I feel like I did [a podcast] for 28 months with all the people that [were] around me,” Todd said, confirming Savannah’s account that he “ran that up in there,” referring to prison. “They called me Teflon Todd.”
Todd and Julie, 52, were convicted on federal charges of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud and conspiracy in June 2022. They were eventually sentenced to a combined 19 years in prison, with Todd being placed at FPC Pensacola in January 2023 while Julie started her sentence that same month in Kentucky.

President Donald Trump announced in May that he had pardoned Todd and Julie, and they were subsequently released from prison.
Keep scrolling to see what Todd said about his prison stay:
How He Coped
“In my head, I was still free,” Todd explained. “I did not take up residence there. I was in prison, prison was not in me.”
Todd said he made “great friends” during his time behind bars and used faith to help him get through.
“I prayed, I read my Bible, I worked out, I walked,” he said. “I wreaked havoc on anyone that was mistreating somebody else.”

Recalling His 1st Night
Initially, Todd said that he “didn’t have any fear,” but the “hard part” came at night.
“It didn’t set in with me until that evening that I realized that I wasn’t going to see [Julie] again,” he recalled. “That was hard, that first night, and I was so angry with God. I remember when the lights went out, I laid there and I cried and I said, ‘God why have you forsaken me? What did I do in my life that warrants this?’”
He claimed that God then came to him in a dream.
“[He] said, ‘I have planted you where I need you and when you leave, they will rise,’” Todd recalled.
Why He Didn’t Work
“I did not work, I did not give them any labor,” Todd said, noting that he only “prayed for their demise” while in the prison chapel.
Elsewhere in the podcast episode, Todd referred to FPC Pensacola as “a bad, busted summer camp.”
When Todd got to his room on the first day, he said there was “all this stuff laying on my bed,” including clothes and a shaving kit.
“I had read that you [were] going to be taking nothing for free because then you got to give something up, and I’m too old to be fighting all these people off,” the reality TV alum recalled, noting that he received the items from a man named Jig.
Jig explained that a “good samaritan” sent word to make sure Todd was taken care of in prison.
“I said, ‘Well, I can take care of myself.’ He said, ‘I don’t have no doubt. … But I still got to do what I got to do,’” Todd added. “From that point forward, Jig and I became best buddies.”
Singer was “talking smack” about Savannah, according to Todd, which led to some words between the two.
“He was talking s*** about Savannah, because that’s when she had already started, you know, pulling the Barbara Walters and exposing everything in the [Bureau of Prisons]. He started talking smack,” Todd said. “I said, ‘I will rip your head off and s*** down your neck if you talk about my child again.’ And I meant what I said.”
Scarlett Johansson has seen roles for women in Hollywood improve since she started her career — but she remembers a time when things weren’t so rosy.
“You know, it’s a different time for young women,” Johansson, 40, told The Times of London in a recent interview. “The messaging is different — there are many more role models, women are visible in powerful positions and the opportunities I have had to play women who don’t have to just be one thing or another have increased.”
The Marvel star went on to say that many of the scripts she read early in her career were not so well-rounded.
“When I was younger, a lot of the roles I was offered, or I went for, had their ambitions or character arcs revolving around their own desirability, or the male gaze, or a male-centred story,” she explained. “That is less frequent, though — something has shifted.”
Eventually, she began to find movies that weren’t so focused on her sex appeal, but the process didn’t happen instantly.
“I just waited,” she said. “I had to become comfortable with the idea that it could take some time. Which is hard when you’re a young actor, but at that time I didn’t have any children.”
Johansson has since welcomed daughter Rose, 10, with ex-husband Romain Dauriacand son Cosmo, 3, with husband Colin Jost. She recently said she would let Rose see her in Jurassic World Rebirth — even though she’s heard it’s the scariest entry in the Jurassic Park franchise.
“It’s still appropriate for the family,” she told E! News at the film’s premiere in June. “You just gotta watch it through the crack in your fingers.”
Johansson’s Times of London interview isn’t the first time she’s opened up about feeling stereotyped for her looks. In 2022, she said she felt like she was “kind of being groomed” to be a “bombshell-type actor” after appearing in Lost in Translation and Girl With a Pearl Earring before she was 20.
“I was coming into my own womanhood and learning my own desirability and sexuality,” she explained during an interview on the “Table for Two With Bruce Bozzi” podcast. “I was playing the other woman and the object of desire and I suddenly found myself cornered in this place. I couldn’t get out of it.”
That same year, Johansson — who has earned two Oscar nominations — said she once felt like her career was over because she felt so “hypersexualized” by her early roles.
“I kind of became objectified and pigeonholed in this way where I felt like I wasn’t getting offers for work for things that I wanted to do,” she said on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast in October 2022. “I remember thinking to myself, ‘I think people think I’m 40 years old.’ It somehow stopped being something that was desirable and something that I was fighting against.”
American Idol alum Triston Harper and his wife, Paris Reed, have welcomed their first baby.
“Everybody my Grand Baby has made her Grand Entrance …. weighing a solid 6lbs and 6 ounces,” Harper’s mother, Hattie Mae Sullivan, announced in a Facebook post on June 23. “Brenley Lichelle Harper Has now arrived on the scene and she ain’t here to play. She’s already in boss mode!!!!! Feed me, Change me, Cut that bright light out. Yes ma’am whatever you want G MA is gonna make it happen!!!!!”
Harper, 17, revealed his marriage to Reed with a November 2024 Facebook relationship update, writing, “Iv [sic] got big news harpies .”
Two days later, Sullivan shared that the newlyweds were expecting their first child when she posted a selfie they had taken with a positive pregnancy test.
“Now Everybody has congratulated me on Triston and Paris getting married but to me that is old news but now I’m bout to be a ‘G Ma,’” Sullivan captioned the post, which Harper shared on his Facebook page as well.
American Idol fans met Harper during season 22 of the ABC reality competition series, which aired from February to May 2024. The Alabama native opened up about his difficult childhood on the show.

“By the age of 11 years old, my mom was with my stepdad. He was getting very abusive. We had to leave McIntosh, [Alabama], then everything, it went sideways, just like that,” he explained in a video package at the time. “The lowest part of my life was when me and my mom had [become] homeless and were sleeping on the sidewalk. I had just turned 12.”
Harper went on to express his gratitude for the opportunity to compete on the show, adding, “I never thought I’d be able to tell my story to American Idol, ever. It makes me happy just thinking about it.”
Judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie were impressed by Harper’s audition but also offered him some constructive criticism due to his young age.
“Anything that you’re doing technically-wise singing is ‘cause you’re 15,” Bryan said. “If I could [have] an afternoon with you and just say, ‘Don’t do that anymore,’ just like, ‘Don’t do those two things,’ and, man, I mean, you’re just …”
Perry then chimed in to finish Bryan’s thought, telling Harper, “You’re a shotgun. Just watch where you’re aiming it.”
Harper made it all the way to the top five before being eliminated alongside Emmy Russell during a May 2024 episode. After his Idol exit, he released his debut single, “H.O.P.E.,” later that month. (Abi Carter ultimately won season 22.)
In the months leading up to the pair’s big announcement, Harper shared an Instagram tribute to Reed in celebration of National Girlfriends Day. “I love you so much @reedgirl.101,” he gushed in August 2024. “There may be a 1 in a million kind of girl, but your [sic] my 1 in a lifetime time kind of woman. I love you 25.”

General Hospital’s Eva LaRue broke her silence about her exit — and shared how fan backlash contributed to her departure.
LaRue, 58, confirmed on Monday, June 30, that she was leaving the show after playing Natalia Ramirez on the long-running soap opera.
“I was originally only supposed to be on the show for a couple of months,” LaRue told Soap Opera Digest. “And it ended up being a much longer run, which was great — and really fun because there are so many All My Children actors there and so it felt like home.”
LaRue, who made her debut on General Hospital in February 2024, will have her last episodes air this week. She was originally introduced as Blaze’s (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) mom before General Hospital’s writers tried to set Natalia up with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
“People just weren’t buying it, because they just hated my character so much,” LaRue explained. “I was so vilified that no matter what [the writers] did, it just wasn’t a solid enough rehabilitation that they were gonna buy me with Sonny.”
LaRue knew her time on the show was coming to an end after they “finally let that idea go” of Natalia and Sonny together.
“I realized, OK, I’m probably not much longer for this world,’” she noted. “It was hard for me, actually — for me as a person. Because in daytime, when you play a character like Maria Santos [on All My Children], love her or hate her, she was not ever meant to be a vilified character. And so it was hard from being that character, being a fan favorite, to being, like, literally hated.”
LaRue admitted it was “tough” to see herself being “rooted against” off screen. She went on to praise those viewers who were “just so loyal to their show.” LaRue acknowledged that the “majority” of fans “see the whole picture, and they don’t have to love you to love what’s going on, because they know it all serves the story.”
“I had a blast at General Hospital,” she said. “I loved being there and I had a lot of really great scenes and I loved everybody that I got to work with. It was just an awesome experience, and I was really glad that I got to stay longer than I was supposed to.”
After news broke about LaRue’s stint in Port Charles coming to an end, executive producer Frank Valentini released a statement about her time on the show.
“Eva’s been a dear friend for years and I am so pleased we found an opportunity to work together!” he said. “What originally was meant as a guest star arc turned into a longer and more satisfying arc, in thanks to Eva’s terrific work and chemistry with our cast. I was thrilled Eva was available to us in this extended role. I wish her all the best in her upcoming projects.”
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC and is available to stream on Hulu.
Below Deck couples haven’t had long lasting success — until Mediterranean‘s Gael Cameron and Nathan Gallagher.
The couple, who met on season 9, got off to a rocky start as Gael navigated a breakup from an offscreen boyfriend. Nathan, meanwhile, was clear about his immediate attraction to Gael, which blossomed as they continued to work together on deck.
Bravo viewers were in for a surprise when Nathan and Gael’s growing connection caused them to nearly hook up off screen before production stopped them.
“[The cameras] weren’t on my mind,” Nathan exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2024. “I was 10 tequilas deep. I didn’t even know what a camera was exactly.”
Nathan added that he had “no game plan” when it came to his attraction to Gael, who was not single at the time. As season 9 came to an end, it remained unclear whether Nathan and Gael’s romance would go the distance since every other former Below Deck boatmance fizzled out after production wrapped.
Despite the odds, Nathan and Gael’s whirlwind romance resulted in some major milestone moments — including a surprise pregnancy.
“The moment our hearts grew even bigger… Our little boy,” Gael wrote via Instagram in January 2025. “We can’t wait to share our world, our laughter, and all of life’s wild adventures with you, little one. Our greatest journey yet is just beginning.”
Their costar Aesha Scott celebrated the good news, adding, “My little nephew I’m so insanely happy!!!!”
Meanwhile, Below Deck Med showrunner Nadine Rajabi shared her excitement as well. “I am bursting with happiness for you both!!! Love you both a ton! Here’s to your new addition and your newly forming family ,” she wrote.
Nathan and Gael welcomed their first baby — a son — in June 2025. Keep scrolling to relive their romance:

After meeting on the Mustique, Nathan and Gael immediately developed a palpable chemistry that even their coworkers picked up on. Gael was initially resistant, since she already had a boyfriend at the time, but as that relationship started to deteriorate Nathan made his move. During a June episode of the show, the duo returned to their individual cabins after a crew night out where at first they went to bed. But Nathan ultimately texted Gael while their cabin mates were fast asleep.
“Where should we meet that has no cameras?” read a message from Nathan to Gael. “The starboard bow locker has no cameras. Let’s go there.”
Gael asked Nathan to tell her when he was there and if he got “caught.” She was then filmed leaving her cabin and heading to the front of the boat.
“What is right and what is wrong? Am I doing the right thing or the wrong thing?” she said in a confessional. “Maybe I like him a little tiny bit. Maybe I just want to hang out with him a little bit. I’m not harming anyone.”

Gael’s coworker Aesha came to her defense when it came to her connection with Nathan.
“It is what it is. That’s what they felt like doing at the time. The one thing that I will say in Gail’s defense because I know that she probably will get a lot of heat online of like, ‘Well, it didn’t take you very long,” Aesha exclusively told Us while weighing in on the season 9 drama. “As someone who was her roommate and witnessed her relationship with her current boyfriend — when she came on [the boat], that relationship was not in a great stable situation.”
“Some of the messages that he would send her and the way that he would speak to her wasn’t very nice,” the chief stew noted. “And I think that whole thing was very insecure to start with and they’d only been together a few months.”
July 2024
“With Gael, it just happened insanely fast. We connected and we grew a very, very strong bond. As time went on, we were just going with the flow,” Nathan explained to Us. “I was going with the flow. I didn’t want to put too much pressure on her. I didn’t want to set us up to hook up in certain areas or certain times. It was more of what was happening in the moment.”

Once filming on season 9 wrapped, Nathan and Gael’s relationship status remained unknown. They seemed to still be going strong before fueling rumors of a brief split that ended after the pair rekindled their connection.
“I know a little late for the end of the year but 2024 was hardly a year to forget So many amazing times to reflect on: Covered 4 continents, became a dive instructor, got my MOY 200gt, landed on on your teli – Below deck S9 and reunited with my other half just to name a few,” Gael wrote via Instagram. “But also so many challenges and lessons served [throughout] the joy. Coming off a bike in a head on collision, scooping to some of the hardest emotional lows and doing it alone are some of the parts you don’t see. But as I said, lessons … and there is nothing more valuable than an opportunity to grow.”
Gael continued: “So for that 2024, I thank you. For the friends, the opportunities, the highs, the lows and the lessons. 2025 I know your going it to flip me on my head and flying kick me with brand new challenges but I honestly can not wait .”
Later that month, Gael confirmed that she was still with Nathan and they were expecting their first child.
“The butterfly effect in motion… If we hadn’t said yes to a boat covered in cameras, we wouldn’t be here,” Gael wrote via Instagram alongside photos of her and Nathan. “Life’s wild like that. Forever grateful for every twist that brought us to this little miracle.”

Gael reflected on her romance with Nathan, adding via Instagram, “We met on a boat, crossed over 12 countries, done things we never imagined and now we’re gearing up for our wildest adventure yet… becoming parents. Happy birthday to the one I get to do life with.”

“Welcome to the world my love,” Gael announced alongside a photo of her and Nathan holding their newborn. “3.562 kg and 52 cm” — or 7.8 lbs and 20 inches.
She added: “The love it took to bring you into this world. Couldn’t be more perfect.”

From setting hairstyle trends to rocking effortless fashion looks, there hasn’t been one Jennifer Aniston look fans haven’t been obsessed with. Now that it’s summer, it’s the actress’ sandals we can’t get enough of. The bad news? Most of the shoes she wears cost over $200. However, we did find a pair of espadrilles for only $45 that are nearly identical to a pair she was spotted in.
The Drop Zuki Wedge Espadrille Sandals are similar to pairs that Aniston has been spotted wearing, except they don’t cost hundreds of dollars. And even though they’re just $45, they don’t sacrifice support or style. The sandals are designed with high-quality materials and feature fabric lace-up ankle straps, offering a resort-like style that you’ll reach for all summer.
The espadrilles have racked up glowing five-saar reviews. Here’s why shoppers can’t stop talking about them.
“I purchased based on other reviewers commenting on their comfort,” one shopper said. “Glad I read reviews. These ladies are so comfortable. I have enjoyed them for shopping days, a graduation, or when I want to feel a little extra cute. They are squishy and seemingly well made. I am not easily impressed, but these did it.”
“I have big calves, and, at first, I thought that put me at a disadvantage when it came to these sandals,” another reviewer explained. “The straps that wrap around the legs are shorter than expected (are my calves too big or are the straps too short?). It all ended up ok because I wrapped them and tied them in the back with a low bow, and they still looked super cute.”
If you’re tired of wearing the same uncomfortable shoes, grab these wedge espadrille sandals before they sell out!
On Sunday, June 29, Bristowe posted a video of herself listening to the heartbreak ballad via her Instagram Story and appeared to dispel the fan speculation.
“I’ve been seeing a lot of people guess who this song is about. But it’s not about that person. I wasn’t in love at the end,” she wrote over the video, alluding to the song’s lyrics about navigating the end of a relationship and still having feelings for the other person.
Bristowe and fellow Bachelor Nation alum Tartick, 36, were engaged when they announced in August 2023 that they were going their separate ways after four years together.
“After sharing the news with family and close friends first, and taking the time to properly process it ourselves, we are saddened with heavy hearts to share that we have decided to end our engagement,” the former couple shared in a joint statement. “We are thankful for all of you who gave us the time and space to process this life-altering decision as there are many emotions and changes to navigate.”
The statement concluded, “Continuing our friendship is incredibly important to both of us. We feel grateful to be ending our engagement with love and respect for each other. It’s heartbreaking and sad to say goodbye, but our care and admiration for one another will never die.”
Bristowe introduced “Lonely in Love” to her followers last month, describing her journey of writing a new song five years after she released her last single.
“Have you ever been lonely in love? It’s a really sad, hard, heartbreaking feeling. I love writing, and singing about things I can reflect on,” Bristowe captioned an Instagram post showcasing the single’s cover art. “Things that broke me, and built me. Recently, I had @melrobbins on my podcast. She had me promise her that I would create more music. I told her I had a fear of looking stupid. I tell myself, ‘You’re not a singer.’ And if someone wants to make me feel stupid, ‘let them’. But I am a singer. I’m also a writer. And I’m also 40 today.”
“Continuing to always push myself to get comfortable being uncomfortable. I hope this song makes you feel something. Either empowered to leave, proud you got out, or just simply going through something right now that could also pass. I love you all so much. Thank you for supporting my dreams, big or small,” she concluded.
On the track, Bristowe laments a relationship that has reached its end. “Perfect / If you just looked at the pictures, it was perfect,” she sings. “If you took the time / to look behind the curtain / you’d see the reason I felt stranded.”
Bristowe later croons, “You took my heart and everything for granted / And I just ran through the motions / Burned out and broken / You’d think you’d notice me / Lying awake in a bed we just sleep in / Dreaming of reasons to not give it up.”
Sure, most peopledon’t own palaces or have a royal title. But when it comes to outfit repeating, Kate Middleton is basically all of Us. At this year’s Order of the Garter service, she pulled out her favorite Strathberry Multrees Chain Wallet — the same one she wore to the same event in 2023.
The $425 compact clutch is the type of bag you reach for when you need your phone, credit cards, lipstick and not much else. We all could use a bag just like it (especially for wedding season) and thankfully, Amazon is quietly selling a version that gives you the same structured silhouette, sleek envelope flap and gold-toned hardware for just $18.
This elegant Amazon lookalike checks all the same boxes: minimalist, elegant and super functional. The compact purse is the perfect size for night-out necessities, from your keys to your pressed powder. And it comes with a detachable chain, so it can easily be carried as a clutch for a more dressed-up feel.
One reviewer who brought it to her daughter’s wedding said it “looks elegant and quite a nice quality for the price.” Another loved the surprise interior zipper pocket, calling it “cute, good quality, and great value for money.” The only minor complaint? The chain could be a bit longer — but it still works great for an evening out.
So if you’ve been eyeing Middleton’s designer clutch but want to stay under budget, this $18 Amazon option is a chic way to channel your inner princess — no coronation required.
Keith Urban appeared to end an Australian radio interview following a risqué question about his wife Nicole Kidman’s intimate movie scenes.
Urban, 57, was a call-in guest on Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max in the Morning on Tuesday, July 1, to promote his upcoming High and Alive World Tour. However, the interview took a turn when hosts Hayley Peterson and Max Burford tried to introduce a game called “Wall of Truth” into the segment.
“In our ‘Wall of Truth,’ Keith, we often get put into this situation where we have to answer a very tricky question, deeply personal question,” Peterson introduced the game to the country singer, per clips published by Australian outlet Radio Today. “I get really uncomfortable, to be honest, asking our beautiful guests something they might be uncomfortable [answering].”
Burford then took over, quizzing Urban about his wife’s film and television work, particularly her 2024 Netflix rom-com, A Family Affair, with Zac Efron.
“I thought, ‘What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV?’” Burford asked.
However, the hosts were left hanging for an answer as it appeared that Urban and his team ended their Zoom call with the pair.

“He’s just disconnected from Zoom,” said another person, presumably a producer. “I think his team hung up on us because they didn’t want us to ask that question.”
Peterson reacted, “That’s 100 percent what’s just happened. Oh, my God!”
“I knew that would happen,” she continued. “We’ve upset him! He’s gone.”
“He doesn’t like talking about his wife,” she added, while Burford said that he thought they were “vibing” with the “Somebody Like You” singer.
Burford then asked, “Does Keith Urban hate us? Do we have beef with Keith Urban?”
Another producer said they were checking in with Urban’s publicist but hadn’t yet heard back.
Us Weekly has reached out to Urban’s representative for comment.
Urban and Kidman, 58, recently celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary via social media.
The Oscar-winning actress posted a black-and-white photo of herself and Urban in a sweet embrace via Instagram on Wednesday, June 25. “Happy Anniversary Baby @KeithUrban,” she captioned the photo. Urban commented with a red heart emoji.
The happy couple tied the knot in 2006 and share two teenage daughters, Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14. Kidman also shares two adult children with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.
Tubi’s July 2025 programming slate is so impressive, Watch With Us is seriously considering canceling all of our other streaming subscriptions.
We’re kidding, of course, but not about the quality of what Tubi will bring to everyone’s screens this month.
From Oscar-winning classics like Amadeus with F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce and Forrest Gump with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright to genre gems like the Final Destination movies and Under the Silver Lake with Andrew Garfield, Tubi has enough great content to please anyone.

HBO Max is a little light on new show releases in July 2025, but some of our favorite series will be releasing new episodes throughout the month.
If you’re a crime or period drama fan, you should definitely be keeping up with Duster.
Meanwhile, romantic comedy lovers are watching — or in some cases, hate-watching — And Just Like That.
But if you’re in the mood to revisit a classic (or watch it for the first time), Watch With Us is recommending one HBO series that’s about to become super relevant again in July.
Josh Holloway (Lost) and Rachel Hilson (The Good Wife, Love, Victor) star in this explosive 1970s period piece about Nina Hayes, a Black female FBI agent, and her quest to bring down crime kingpin Ezra Saxton (Keith David). Hayes teams up with Saxton’s driver, Jim Ellis (Holloway), whose beloved Plymouth Duster gives the show its name and becomes a character unto itself.
Lost creator J.J. Abrams created Duster with Into the Badlands writer LaToya Morgan. As Ellis, Holloway is just as captivating as when he played Sawyer on that now legendary ABC mystery series. His chemistry with Hilson is engaging and propulsive, and the combination of great writing and action with a groovy ‘70s look makes Duster irresistible. The season 1 finale airs July 3.
If light and breezy is your thing, And Just Like That might be the perfect show for you. The sequel series to Sex and the City stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis as Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte, respectively. Nothing can ever truly make up for the loss of Kim Cattrall’s Samantha, but And Just Like That does its best to capture the fun, fluffy tone of the original series as well as the over-the-top fashion choices.
Some viewers of the show are more like hate-watchers than actual fans, but we still can’t resist tuning in every week. Even if you don’t like the show, it’s pretty darn fun to text your friends and say “Miranda would never have done that in the original series!” each week. The season 3 finale airs July 31.
Somewhere between Duster and And Just Like That lies Girls, which is a bit more substantive in its social commentary than AJLT while remaining firmly in the comedy genre. We’re recommending Girls for July because the series creator and star, Lena Dunham, has a new romantic comedy series coming to Netflix on July 10 called Too Much.
If you’re psyched to see Dunham’s new work, now is the perfect time to refresh your memory about what made Girls so great. (Clever writing, bold storytelling and great casting are a few of the show’s attributes.) Time will tell if Too Much will live up to its predecessor, but the NYC adventures of Hannah (Dunham), Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke) and Shoshana (Zosia Mamet) are totally timeless.

Katy Perry got emotional on Monday, June 30, as she wrapped the Australian leg of her Lifetimes Tour amid her split from Orlando Bloom.
“Thank you for always being there for me, Australia. It means the world,” a teary-eyed Perry, 40, told the audience at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, South Australia, as she made a heart symbol with her hands.
“Now let’s sing ‘Firework!’” Perry then said, seguing into one of her signature hits to close the show, per fan footage shared via social media.
Perry spent the majority of June in Australia on her Lifetimes Tour, first performing in Sydney on June 4 before traveling across the country, including dates in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. She performed four nights in Adelaide to wrap the Australian leg of the tour.
Perry is next set to perform on home soil as she returns to the U.S. for a July 10 show in Denver.
While Down Under, news broke that Perry and Bloom, 48, have called it quits after nearly a decade together. The couple share a daughter, Daisy Dove, 4.
“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” a source told UsWeekly on Wednesday, June 25. “It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”
The source added that the separation had been a “long time coming” and that things between the former couple had been “tense for months.”
Earlier in June, insiders told Us that the couple had been on the rocks for some time.
“They have been spending more and more time apart. They’ve grown apart and aren’t living the same lives anymore,” one insider said, while another said their inner circle was aware they were going through a difficult time in their relationship.
While Perry was performing in Australia, Bloom attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s glamorous wedding in Venice over the weekend.
On Monday, Bloom shared a motivational quote about courage and fear via his Instagram Story amid his split from Perry.
“The important thing is to take that first step.” the actor wrote, crediting Buddhist author Daisaku Ikeda for the quote. “Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.”
Bloom also posted a similarly inspiring quote from the Buddha, which read, “Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters the most.”
If Hulu is your streaming service of choice, you have plenty to look forward to when it comes to fun and engaging television series this summer.
Whether you’re turning up the heat in the kitchen on The Bear or fantasizing about the summer compound of your dreams on Beach Hunters, the platform has plenty of options.
Check out Watch With Us’ selections for must-watch Hulu shows that are perfect to stream in the summer. They’re all available to view now.
Nothing says summer like a freshly grilled burger, and the Belcher family knows burgers — even if they don’t know much else. Patriarch and grill master Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and his enthusiastic wife, Linda (John Roberts), run a burger joint with their three kids Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman) and Louise (Kristen Schaal).
This sweet animated sitcom has become a beloved classic for many reasons, but the relationships within the family are what truly bring the flavors together. Bob’s Burgers is a perfect summer show — light, breezy and colorful with a heaping side of heart.
Like Bob’s Burgers, The Bear also takes place in a restaurant. The kitchen setting is pretty much the only thing those two shows share, but The Bear is also a beloved hit that you should definitely watch this summer. (The fourth season premiered on June 25.)
Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), a gourmet chef, returns to his hometown of Chicago after his brother’s (Jon Bernthal) death and attempts to turn the family’s greasy sandwich shop into a fine dining establishment. The ragtag crew of restaurant employees includes everyone’s scrappy “cousin” Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), talented sous chef Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), acerbic line cook Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas) and many more colorful characters. It’s a pressure cooker of a show, full of tension and high stakes, but it’s also a story about family, community and the way food brings people together.
Toby Fleishman (Jesse Eisenberg) is a newly single divorced father in New York City, who’s preparing to spend his summer sleeping his way through dating apps whenever his two kids are with their mother, Rachel (Claire Danes). One hitch in this plan? Rachel never arrives to pick the kids up.
As the pressure on Toby increases and Rachel’s absence stretches on throughout the summer, Toby and his two best friends (Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody) are forced to examine their lives and their relationships. This Hulu limited series packs a serious punch, sizzling with the heat of a Manhattan sidewalk in July. The cast is excellent, and the twists are unexpected. Fleishman Is in Trouble is a fascinating examination of upper-middle-class parenthood and the expectations that come with it.
Do you dream of a saltbox cottage on Cape Cod? Or perhaps a modern manse in Malibu? No matter what your dream beach house looks like, the Beach Hunters team is going to help you find it. In this House Hunters spinoff, families seek out their ideal vacation (or year-round) home that’s within their budget but still checks off all the boxes they need.
For real estate fans, it’s the perfect way to spend a rainy summer day (or a day when all you want is air conditioning.) Ocean breezes meet backsplashes and built-ins. Feeling relaxed yet?
Loath as we are to admit it, summer always comes to an end. But if you want to get excited about going back to school (literally or metaphorically), watch Abbott Elementary. This mockumentary series from writer Quinta Brunson (who also stars as second-grade teacher Janine Teagues) is about a hardworking and lovable group of teachers who spend each day at their under-funded elementary school trying to create the best place for their kids to learn.
Janine is alternately helped and hindered by principal Ava Colman (Janelle James) an outrageous and self-centered hustler who’s hiding a heart of gold, as well as her fellow teachers Barbara Howard (Sheryl Lee Ralph), Melissa Schemmenti (Leslie Ann Walter), Jacob Hill (Chris Perfetti) and Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams). It’s a warmhearted and inspirational sitcom that will make you laugh and cry.
