Kim Kardashian helped daughter Chicago celebrate her seventh birthday in style.

Kim, 44, took to Instagram Stories on Sunday, January 26, to share videos and photos from her daughter’s recent cowboy-themed birthday party, staged a little over one week after Chicago’s actual birthday on January 15.

Kicking off the memory dump with a lavish pink and white cake, shaped to resemble a cowboy boot, with the number 7 emblazoned across the front and a chocolate plaque that read, “Happy 7th Birthday Chi!,” Kim evidently went all out in creating a fun-filled soiree.

Further footage and pics captured a long table dressed in soft blooms and regular-sized pink cowboy boots, bays of hale in place of chairs and Chicago’s all-white outfit which incorporated a cowboy hat, fringed chaps and a fringed shirt with “Chicago West” bedazzled in silver diamantes at the back.

Kim Kardashian's Daughter Chicago Looks All Grown Up at 6th Birthday Party

Kim, who shares Chicago as well as North, 11, Saint, 9, and Psalm, 5, with ex Kanye West, got into the spirit of the theme herself. Further Stories from Kim revealed her cowboy-inspired ensemble, which comprised a black cowboy hat, leather button-down and a traditional bolo tie that hung long at the neck.

Kim’s sister Khloé Kardashian and her children, daughter, True, 6, and son, Tatum, 2, whom Khloé shares with ex Tristan Thompson, were also in attendance. Khloé shared her own snaps and videos via Instagram a few hours prior to Kim’s celebratory post.

In Khloé’s happy snaps, the cousins were seen dancing together on a pink and white starry dance floor set at the foot of a stage decorated with balloon arrangements, farm animals and “Chi” scrawled in giant rope.

A video from Khloé, 40, also captured Chicago’s guests singing “Happy Birthday” to her as Chicago gazed up at seven flickering candles and blew each of them out once the song ended.

In another of Khloé’s clips, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna’s daughter Dream, 8, was seen slapping a giant pink cowboy boot-shaped pinata with a fluffy stick before True took a stab at it herself as Khloé yelled from behind the camera, “Yes, harder!”

Chicago’s birthday party was just one in an endless string of extravagant celebrations and gifts enjoyed and exchanged within the Kardashian clan. Just under one month ago, Kim revealed via her Instagram Stories that Khloé had gifted her a bedazzled knee scooter for Christmas to help Kim make the most of a foot injury she’d experienced late last year.

“Merry Christmas Keeks! Love, Khloé, True and Tatum,” read the scooter’s tag, as revealed via an Instagram Story clip Kim shared on December 25. In addition to tagging Khloé, Kim captioned the video with laughing, diamond and star eyes emojis.

Showing the gift off in a second clip, Kim wrote, “I’ve literally never been more excited for something. This is so cute.” Khloé reposted both Stories via her own account, captioning the latter clip, “It was a hit!!! She said she’s gonna keep it forever .”

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes’ friendship continues to flourish.

Swift, 35, and Brittany, 29, shared a sweet hug and cheered with their arms around each other after their significant others, Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce and Brittany’s husband, Patrick Mahomes, helped the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Buffalo Bills during the 2025 AFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 26.

During the game’s post-win celebrations, Swift and Brittany took to the field at Arrowsmith Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, to catch Kelce, 35, make a speech amid formalizing the Chiefs’ entry into February’s Super Bowl LIX alongside his teammates.

Photos from the moment captured Swift wrapping her arms around a smiling Brittany as Swift gazed up at the Chiefs’ stage where proceedings were taking place. Further pics showed Swift raising her arm in the air as she slung her left arm around a laughing Brittany’s neck as Kelce’s mom, Donna, giggled beside them.

Brittany, who gave birth to her third child, Golden Raye, earlier this month and shares two other children, Sterling and Bronze, with Patrick, 29, also shared moments from the celebrations via her Instagram Stories on Sunday evening.

One Story showed celebratory confetti flying through the air as Brittany is heard cheering in the background, while another zoomed in on Patrick, 29, accepting his trophy and waving to the crowd.

Swift and Brittany’s friendship has blossomed since Swift began dating Kelce in summer 2023. The pair have supported the Chiefs during multiple games throughout this NFL season and Swift also gave the Mahomes family a thoughtful gift to celebrate the arrival of baby Golden.

According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly on Saturday, January 25, Swift crafted a blanket for Golden. “She makes a lot of things for the people she loves and cares about,” the source told Us. “She makes sentimental gifts that are more of value to her than expensive gifts.”

As for Swift and Brittany’s strong bond, another source told Us in October 2023 that the pair’s friendship accelerated quickly. “Brittany [was] thrilled to be building a genuine friendship with Taylor. They’ve hung out a couple of times and have grown fairly close in a short period of time,” the insider said at the time. “Brittany thinks Taylor is so sweet, and down to earth, and they get along really great.”

Just one month after Us spoke to the source, Brittany joined Swift on a girls’ night out in New York City alongside Swift’s famous friends Selena Gomez, Sophie Turner and Gigi Hadid.

Brittany and Patrick have also shown their support for Swift, celebrating the end of her Eras Tour in December 2024 by attending an Eras-theme party. “My people,” Brittany captioned a series of photos from the bask, posing with Swift and fellow Chiefs WAG Lyndsay Bell.

Travis Kelce has celebrated the Kansas City Chiefs’ nail-biting 2025 AFC Championship defeat against the Buffalo Bills by packing on the PDA with girlfriend Taylor Swift.

In a video posted via X on Sunday, January 26 — right after Kelce helped the Chiefs reach a final score of 32-29 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri — the couple were seen in a rare on-field PDA moment to mark the achievement. (The Chiefs are now set to advance to Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, February 9.)

The social media clip captured Swift, 35, leaning into Kelce’s chest as the athlete, also 35, wrapped a protective arm around the singer and briefly rested his chin against the top of her head.

Photos snapped on the field also caught the couple sharing a sweet kiss as Swift wrapped her hands around Kelce’s face.

Travis Kelce Sweetly Shouts Out Taylor Swift After Chiefs Playoff Win

The duo were joined on the field by Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, who appeared to be quietly soaking up the party atmosphere across the field and within the stands.

Further X posts caught the lovebirds sharing adorable moments as celebratory confetti streamed around them. One user posted a moment from the game’s broadcast where Swift reached out to cup Kelce’s face within her hands as the pair beamed at one another.

The official NFL X account also shared footage of Kelce’s post-game speech, panning to Swift and Donna cheering him on from the on-field crowd.

Swift served as a pillar of support for Kelce during Sunday’s game, bringing her mom Andrea, dad Scott and brother Austin with her. The clan were spotted arriving in a golf cart just prior to kick-off.

Swift further demonstrated her adoration by rocking an oversized Louis Vuitton sweatshirt over a black miniskirt and red tights, seemingly paying tribute to signature Chiefs colors.

The Chiefs’ latest success comes after Kelce recently reassured fans that he is nowhere near slowing down his football efforts. The tight end told reporters on Friday, January 24, that he “laughs at” so-called concerns about his stamina on the field.

Taylor Swift Attends Travis Kelce’s Chiefs vs. Bills AFC Championship Game

“As long as I’m going out there and we’re winning, baby, that’s all that matters,” Kelce said during the press conference ahead of the Chiefs’ playoff against the Buffalo Bills.

It wasn’t the first time Kelce addressed claims that he is slower on the field. On January 13 he told ESPN’s Pat McAfee that he was “fired up” ahead of the team’s game against the Houston Texans on January 18. “I’m feeling 22 all over again, baby. Let’s go,” Kelce said, a reference to Swift’s hit song, “22.”

Janelle Brown is taking a second look at her marriage to Kody Brown after their split — including their finances.

“I never felt like I had much control over my own money because everybody was pulling from the same [account],” Janelle, 55, told Christine Brown during the Sunday, January 26, episode of Sister Wives.

Janelle, who was Kody’s second wife, noted that it was “great” to have a family fund when they were a plural unit. Looking back, however, she claimed money became an issue for everyone. (Janelle announced her separation from Kody, 55, in December 2022 after Christine, 52, left their mutual spouse in November 2021.)

“We set our family up that way. But, like, toward the end, it was just really hard,” Janelle said. “When we all first started, there was kind of like this thing [where] we weighed in on what bills should be paid, how we were going to pay, who got priority.”

‘Sister Wives’ Star Janelle Says Kody Is Blaming Her for Money Issues

She alleged, “And then the last several years, Kody would just take out funds and I don’t know what for. And the money was just being spent — and lots of it.”

Kody — who at one point was married to Janelle and Christine as well as Meri Brown and Robyn Brown — denied the accusations that he spent money without cause. (Meri, 53, and Kody confirmed their split in January 2023. He is still married to Robyn, 46.)

“I was a father to 18 and a husband to more than just Janelle,” Kody quipped. “So we had a lot of places that money needed to go that weren’t always Janelle’s business.”

He explained that since Janelle was “doing the bookkeeping” for the family, she saw all the transactions without the reasoning come across her desk. “So, some of the bills to be paid by all of us were supposed to be paid by her,” Kody added.

Sister Wives’ Meri Claims Her Child Wasn't 'Taken Care Of’ With Family Money

Janelle, meanwhile, argued that she didn’t have as much access to the funds as Kody claimed.

“He loves this mantra that somehow I was [the] all powerful one with all the financial control,” Janelle fired back, insisting, “I really was just the person who recorded the transactions and sent them to the CPA.”

Earlier this season, Janelle claimed that Kody had been spreading lies about how much sway she had with their family finances. She alleged that Kody told Meri during their marriage that Janelle was “controlling the money,” which wasn’t the case.

Sister Wives' Kody Admits He Considered ‘Screwing’ Janelle Over With Land

“I’m like, ‘Dude, man, if I controlled the money, we would have paid off [Coyote Pass and] built a house,’” Janelle told Christine during the November 24 episode. She alleged that she simply recorded “what was spent and sent it to the accountant.”

Kody didn’t clear up the misconception at the time, telling the cameras, “It’s funny, my other wives remember Janelle controlling the money.” He admitted that he “sort of guided where the money went” but claimed that they “all had access to the account.”

On Sunday’s episode, Janelle and Meri were finally on the same page about money — and their ongoing land dispute with Kody and Robyn. Kody’s ex-wives agreed to each get their own lawyers so they could get an equal share of the family’s Coyote Pass property in Arizona.

Following Christine’s split from Kody, she gave her portion of the land to her ex-husband and his fourth wife, Robyn. Janelle and Meri, however, are still on the deed and therefore want to sell and get money from their respective assets.

“I trusted it would all work out in the end. And looking back now, I’m like, ‘Wow, it’s really dumb. Why did I not insist that we were all titled on all the pieces?’” Janelle told the cameras. “I just was too trusting, I guess.”

While speaking with Meri about what they are each owed, the women both said that they “paid for the land out of the family account” and “paid for it equally.”

Kody, however, claimed that wasn’t true. “We didn’t pay for Coyote Pass all equally. I paid for an entire lot all by myself, at least 92 percent of it,” he alleged. “The rest of the property, we all chipped in.”

The different recollections led to even more tension between Kody and the women. “I feel like Kody and Robyn probably have some plan of what they want to do and how they want to handle it. I think that Janelle has some sort of plan, and I know that I do as well,” Meri explained. “And none of us are talking to each other because none of us trust each other.”

Kody told the cameras that he was “working on this” issue but “not rushing” to get it done. “I’m not your servant to boss around,” he said of his exes.

Janelle, meanwhile, revealed during a confessional that she just wants the land issues to be “done because this is the only thing that still ties me to Kody and Robyn.” She added, “I’m ready to just close that chapter.”

Sister Wives airs on TLC Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.

The series premiere of CBS’ Watson featured a shocking casting for the role of antagonist James Moriarty — but how will the twist continue to play out?

Warning: Spoilers below for the series premiere of Watson

During a sneak peek of the series, which aired on Sunday, January 26, John Watson’s (Morris Chestnut) acquaintance Shinwell Johnson (Ritchie Coster) had a secret meeting with the infamous Moriarty, who was responsible for Sherlock Holmes’ death. The role was revealed to be played by Randall Park, with Chestnut praising his costar’s performance ahead of the premiere.

“First of all, Randall Park — aside from being an incredible actor — he’s a great person. He did a great job on the show,” the 56-year-old actor exclusively told Us Weekly. “He quite possibly will reappear multiple times throughout the entire first season.”

Did You Catch Sam Smith's Cameo on 'And Just Like That'?

Chestnut teased that Moriarty will be “definitely looming” over Watson, adding, “He’s definitely had his effect on all of us — not just Watson. He’s definitely affected all of us. Throughout the course of the season, I would say the pilot is probably not the last you’ll see of Moriarty.”

Based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s Sherlock Holmes stories, Watson takes place six months after Moriarty kills the legendary detective. Watson must come to terms with the loss of his best friend and partner by resuming his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders.

“I did not consult any other [past] Watson [performances]. I did, of course, read some of the books and I looked at some of the other projects out there. For me, I felt that this character was different because the other Watsons are primarily not the focus,” Chestnut explained to Us of his preparation. “The story is always told from Sherlock’s perspective, so this story is being told from Watson’s perspective in a very specific way. We’re part of the mythology, but the clinic and being a detective is not part of the mythology.”

Us Investigates How the New Slate of Medical TV Shows Differ From Each Other

While Watson mentions Sherlock Holmes numerous times, the character has only been seen from behind. According to Chestnut, it remains unclear whether the show will cast someone to play Holmes. “I wish I knew if we were ever going to see Holmes in any type of capacity,” he told Us.

Chestnut’s character will share the screen with numerous other newcomers. Eve Harlow plays a highly skilled neurologist named Ingrid with a questionable past, while Peter Mark Kendall plays twin brothers — Stephens and Adam — who are infectious disease and functional medicine specialists. The show also features Inga Schlingmann in the role of Sasha, a specialist in rheumatology and immunology. Rochelle Aytes rounds out the cast as Watson’s ex-wife, Mary.

“Watson is not going to fully be able to do everything by himself. He needs his team,” Chestnut noted. “There are going to be moments throughout the season where certain things may have created some space between and his team and there may be some things that happen to draw them all closer together under a common cause.”

Viewers shouldn’t trust everyone, though — especially with Moriarty still at large.

“We cannot trust everyone on the team. But I would definitely say all of these doctors are very special in their own way. They’re very special and extremely smart doctors. Watson has assembled them because he can no longer just look at a person and just not see anything,” he explained. “There are a number of things that Watson sees when he has interviewed all of them that intrigued him a little bit. They are mysterious and … we don’t know everything about them because they’re secretive. But there’s something in them that’s really piqued Watson’s curiosity.”

Watson returns to CBS Sunday, February 16, and new episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ hopes of a Super Bowl three-peat are still alive after their win over the Buffalo Bills in the 2025 AFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 26.

The Chiefs ultimately defeated the Bills at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, with a final score of 32-29. They will advance to Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9, and will play the Philadelphia Eagles after their victory over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game earlier on Sunday.

Prior to the playoffs, the Chiefs clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC for the 2024-2025 NFL season, while the Bills trailed behind them at No. 2. During the postseason, the Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans on January 18 to advance to the championship game after earning a bye week. The Bills, meanwhile, beat the Denver Broncos and the Baltimore Ravens on January 12 and January 19, respectively, to earn their spot in the championship game against the Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have been rivals ever since they became quarterbacks in 2018 for the Chiefs and the Bills, respectively. Throughout their professional careers, the two have met five times in the regular season, with Allen, 28, besting Mahomes, 29, four to one. However, in the playoffs, Allen has yet to defeat Mahomes, with a 0-3 record prior to Sunday’s game. The Chiefs previously beat the Bills in the 2021 AFC Championship Game and the 2022 and 2024 divisional playoff games.

While Allen has yet to make it to a Super Bowl with the Bills, Mahomes has won three titles with the Chiefs. After his first victory in 2020, Mahomes became a back-to-back Super Bowl champion when he bested the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023 and the San Francisco 49ers in 2024.

Ever since Super Bowl LVIII last February, the Chiefs have been vocal about their desire to achieve a three-peat, which would make them the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive titles.

“Next year in New Orleans, we’re gonna do it again,” Mahomes said on the “Impaulsive With Logan Paul” podcast in May 2024. “I’m putting it on the table. We’re gonna do it again. I’m telling you now.”

As for Allen, he emphasized his own Super Bowl dream in a 2024 press conference, telling reporters of his plans for this season, “There’s one job to get done and that’s win a Super Bowl.”

Bachelor alum Madi Prewett and her husband, Grant Troutt, are officially parents following the arrival of their first baby.

Prewett, 28, took to Instagram on Sunday, January 26, to reveal she gave birth to a baby girl named Hosanna on Monday, January 20. Sharing a carousel of images that showed the child delicately bundled in a white blanket and pink bow, Prewett simply captioned the series, “Hosanna Rose Troutt 1.20.25.”

Troutt, also 28, was seen throughout the snaps, too, lovingly cradling Prewett’s face as she nursed the couple’s baby and posing for several photos alongside his girls. Troutt simultaneously shared the Instagram post via his own account.

Prewett announced her pregnancy via Instagram in August 2024. “WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!” she captioned photos of herself and Troutt holding sonogram images and showing off her baby bump. “Baby Troutt we are SO ready for you and can’t wait to meet you .”

Pregnant Madi Prewett and Husband Grant's Relationship Timeline

Later that month, Prewett explained that the couple — who tied the knot in October 2022 — had only just started “trying” for a baby when she learned she was expecting.

“We said we don’t wanna put any pressure on it, we don’t know what this journey’s gonna look like,” she said on her “Stay True With Madison Prewett Troutt” podcast. “Again, we didn’t want to just expect that we were gonna be able to get pregnant. We’ve walked our friends through a lot of really hard things.”

A post shared by Madison Prewett Troutt (@madiprew)

The pair noted that they were “very surrendered” and “had hope” that Prewett would get pregnant, but her positive test came as a surprise since they had not been trying “hardcore” to conceive.

“There was nothing in my mind that even for a second was like, ‘This could be pregnant,’” she recalled of taking the test. “I don’t know why my mind just didn’t even go there.”

While Prewett was “shaking” when she discovered she was pregnant, she opted not to tell Troutt right away because he was preoccupied with his last week of work as a youth minister at Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas.

“So I’m like, in my mind, thinking, ‘OK, I’ve gotta just keep it cool, I’ve gotta show up at church and just focus on serving [Grant] this whole week,” she recounted. “And what I’ll do is I’ll order a really cute little gift to present him with when I tell him that we’re pregnant. That’ll take some days to get in anyways and so it’s all gonna work out.’”

She added, “I got to take that time during the week to just pray and process with Jesus and, of course, I wish I could’ve told Grant a little sooner but it worked out.”

Troutt then revealed how Prewett shared the news with him. “The first thing I see is this wooden frame and it says, ‘We’re having a baby,’” he said. “And I look down and it’s the pregnancy test, and it says ‘pregnant,’ and then right next to that is this little baby Jordan shoe, and behind the Jordan shoe is the same type of shoe but my size.”

Troutt confessed that he “could not believe what I was seeing,” describing it as “one of the most surreal moments of my life.”

Prewett previously competed on Peter Weber’s season 24 of The Bachelor in 2020. Although she finished as the runner-up when she eliminated herself, she and Weber briefly gave their relationship another shot after reconnecting at the After the Final Rose special in March 2020. However, they split for good days after the finale aired.

Drew Barrymore was the breakout star of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial — and she left a particularly significant impression on the film’s director.

Steven Spielberg, who produced and directed a then-seven-year-old Barrymore in the 1982 film, revealed during an appearance at New York City’s TCM Film Festival on Saturday, January 25, that the actress, 49, inspired fresh ambition in him at the time.

“Up until that point … I was just making movies,” Spielberg, 78, said during a panel at the festival moderated by Dave Karger, per People. “That was my life. I was obsessed with telling stories, but making E.T. made me want to be a father for the first time. I never even thought about that until E.T.”

Barrymore, who appeared alongside the iconic filmmaker, said in response, “I didn’t ruin that for you?” to which Spielberg sweetly replied, “The opposite.”

Ross Mathews Plans to Watch ‘ET’ With Drew Barrymore and Her Kids

Starring as Gertie, the kind hearted younger sister of Elliot, played by Henry Thomas, and Michael, played by Robert MacNaughton, in E.T., Barrymore was also profoundly impacted by the filming experience at the time.

“I think E.T., for me, is the [film] I’m the most proud of,” Barrymore said, “because it’s the one that changed my life.”

She continued, “There’s no question about that. Everything in my life is about how I got believed in by one human being, and that is the life that I try to honor every day.”

The duo’s trip down memory lane also saw Spielberg, who is a father to seven children aged between 28 and 48, reveal that E.T. serves as one of his most-watched projects. He told the panel’s crowd that he’s seen the film, “probably more than I’ve seen any other movie I’ve ever directed, partially because I’ve shown the film to all my kids.”

Spielberg shares Max, 39, with ex-wife Amy Irving, as well as Jessica, 48, Theo, 36, Sasha, 34, Sawyer, 32, Mikaela, 28, and Destry, 28, with wife Kate Capshaw. He is also a grandfather to six children.

“I’ve shown the film to all my kids and a couple of my grandkids,” he detailed. “Some of them are still too young, because I’m always worried about them being worried about E.T. and I want to let them know before they turn the corner and are surprised by something, what to expect.”

Drew Barrymore Still Supports Mother Jaid Financially After Emancipation

Spielberg said in April 2022 while interviewed at the Turner Classic Movies Film Festival that E.T. and the alien character itself was partly inspired by his parents’ divorce. “What if the creature was part of a foreign-exchange program?” said Spielberg at the time. “What if I turn my story about divorce into a story about children, a family, trying to fill the great need and creating such responsibility?”

He continued, “A divorce creates great responsibility, especially if you have siblings; we all take care of each other. What if Elliott … needed to, for the first time in his life, become responsible for a life form to fill the gap in his heart?”

In 1983, E.T. surpassed Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film production of all time. According to a New York Times article published in July 1982, E.T. made $87 million at the box office, with the outlet labeling it as the “hit of summer.”

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is celebrating the NFL team’s NFC Championship win.

“Well that was fun, these dudes are ridiculously good!” Kelce, 37, wrote via X on Sunday, January 26. “GO F——- BIRDS!!”

Kelce’s shoutout came minutes after the Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders and advanced to the 2025 Super Bowl on Sunday, February 9. The Eagles will face off against the winner of Jason’s brother Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. If the Chiefs defeat the Bills on Sunday, the NFL team will have the opportunity to become the first in history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. (The Chiefs won back-to-back Super Bowls in 2023 and 2024.)

Ahead of the matchups on Sunday, Jason admitted he was struggling to decide which NFL conference championship to attend — AFC or NFC.

Jason Kelce Is 'Still' Figuring Out How to Attend Both NFC, AFC Title Games

“This is something that I’m still trying to figure out,” Jason said on the Saturday, January 26, episode of ESPN’s They Call It Late Night. “I’m working [for ESPN] at the tailgate for the Birds game, which I’m excited about. Initially, they were gonna make me go up to Bristol, but then they were like, ‘Do you just want to stay down there and be a reporter on the scene?’ I’m really fired up to be there.”

Jason, who played for the Eagles from 2011 until his retirement in 2024, said he wanted to attend his former team’s game but was “kind of torn.”

“I want to be there for the Eagles, but I also want to be there for my brother,” Jason explained. “I don’t know how many more he has. We’re flying by the seat of our pants!”

Jason shared that he might “be able to see both” depending on travel plans. Travis, for his part, has faced retirement speculation for the 2024-25 season but has continued to shut down the idea.

Jason Kelce Still Doesn't Know ‘What's Going to Happen’ With His NFL Future

One day before Travis, 35, took the field for the AFC Championship game, he told reporters that he “laughs at” concerns that he’s showing his age. “As long as I’m going out there and we’re winning, baby, that’s all that matters,” the Chiefs tight end said during a press conference on Saturday, January 25.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes weighed in on the idea that the game on Sunday could be Travis’ last at Arrowhead Stadium.

“I have no idea. He hasn’t said anything to me if he’s thinking that,” Mahomes, 29, said Tuesday, January 21, on Kansas City’s 96.5 The Fan. “I know he signed a two-year extension before the season. It seems like he still loves football. But he also has a great life, as well.”

Mahomes continued, “Either way, I just appreciate every time I step onto the field with that guy knowing that he’s a true legend of not only the Chiefs, but of the NFL. If it is his last game, let’s go out there and get him a win. If it’s not his last game, let’s go out and get him a win anyway.”

Taylor Swift made boyfriend Travis Kelce’s AFC Championship game a family affair.

Swift, 35, stepped out at the Sunday, January 26, Kansas City Chiefs versus Buffalo Bills game with mom Andrea, dad Scott and brother Austin in tow. The family was seen arriving in a golf cart ahead of the matchup at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Eras Tour performer showed her support for the Chiefs by rocking an oversized Louis Vuitton sweatshirt over a black miniskirt and red tights.

The winner of the Chiefs versus Bills game will advance to the Super Bowl LIX at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on February 9, to play against the Philadelphia Eagles, who defeated the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship game hours earlier. If the Chiefs advance, they have a shot at becoming the first NFL franchise to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles.

Ahead of the game, Kelce, 35, told reporters that he “laughs at” the idea that he’s showing his age on the football field. “As long as I’m going out there and we’re winning, baby, that’s all that matters,” Kelce said during the press conference ahead on Saturday, January 25.

As Kelce and the Chiefs have made their run for the Super Bowl, Swift has been in the crowd cheering him on. Swift attended the Chiefs game on January 18 alongside her family and WNBA star Caitlin Clark, watching from a private suite. After Kelce scored a touchdown, Swift was spotted celebrating by hitting her hand on the glass window of the suite and bobbing her head.

When Swift publicly spoke out about her relationship with Kelce in December 2023, she opened up about the pair’s decision not to hide their romance. (The NFL star, who began dating Swift in summer 2023, has supported her at several of her Eras Tour performances.)

Taylor Swift's Family Is Decked Out in Chiefs Gear for Travis Kelce's Game

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift told TIME for her 2023 Person of the Year profile. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

Swift noted that she didn’t want to take away from Kelce’s spotlight when she attends his NFL games. “I’m just there to support Travis,” she said at the time. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

TikTok stars Campbell “Pookie” Puckett and Jett Puckett have a reason to celebrate.

The couple shared an update on Campbell’s health via TikTok on Friday, January 25, following her recent health scare earlier this month.

“As a lot of you know, Pookie had some surgery about two weeks ago to remove some pre-cancer that we had known about for months,” Jett, 34, said in the video. “We got the results back from the doctor and the lab. They were able to confirm they got all of the pre-cancer out.”

He added, “I’m just so so thankful that my wife is now okay, the mother of my child is now okay. She’s been the most incredible mother.” Campbell, 32, gave birth to the couple’s first child, daughter Paloma, in October 2024. In the Friday video, the TikTok star gushed, “I love being a mom.”

Jett added, “She loves it I think even more than we could have possibly ever imagined. Every time Paloma’s placed in Campbell’s arms, Campbell lights up like a Christmas tree. It’s just the most magical thing, I can’t really believe it.”

The couple initially rose to fame when Jett dubbed his wife “Pookie” in one of her day-in-the-life videos in January 2024. Since then, Campbell has amassed over 1 million followers on both TikTok and Instagram. Jett revealed earlier this month that Campbell had undergone a procedure and that the doctor was “cautiously optimistic” about her condition.

“I’m just so grateful to have this community, you guys mean so much to us,” Campbell continued. “I don’t know what I did to deserve so many people that are so sweet to us. There’s one thing that I want to share, this kind of like the motto that I’ve lived by the last year: ‘Live in faith, not fear.’”

Jett said that had “been praying about this every day for months,” noting that “the doctors didn’t want to do the surgery” while Campbell was pregnant.

“We had to wait for nine months,” Jett explained. “During that time it was possible it could turn into real cancer. Thankfully it didn’t, we got through the birth [and] we were able to confirm at that time that it did not turn into actual cancer.”

He continued, “Once they removed it, then the fear was, ‘Did they get it all? Will they have to go back in?’ We finally got the results back. They did get it all — they had what’s called clean margins. It’s such an unbelievable blessing.”

Brittany Mahomes came to slay the AFC conference championship, sizzling in a chic game day ‘fit in honor of husband Patrick Mahomes’ NFL team.

Brittany, 29, wore a cream-colored, fuzzy cropped jacket paired with a matching top, black bottoms and a bright red handbag for a pop of color. She joined Patrick on the field ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Buffalo Bills where she gave him a good luck kiss.

For glam, Brittany donned her blonde locks in loose waves and went with a subdued makeup look topped off with Clarins lip oil. She shared a glimpse of her makeup application via Instagram Stories on Sunday, January 26, set to Taylor Swift‘s “Ready for It.” (Swift, 35, also attended Sunday’s title game, dressed to impress in Louis Vuitton.

Quarterback Patrick, 29, and the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, January 26, in a home game that determined which AFC team will represent the conference in the Super Bowl LIX.

Patrick arrived at Arrowhead Stadium in an equally stylish ensemble, opting for a black two-piece with a matching bomber jacket. Of course, he traded his athleisure wear for his Chiefs uniform in time for kickoff.

Sunday’s game is Brittany’s second public outing since giving birth to daughter Golden earlier this month. The former soccer star previously attended the Chiefs divisional playoff game on January 18.

For the occasion, Brittany wore a beige puffer coat that was cinched at the waist and featured “15” patches on each pocket in honor of Patrick’s jersey number. She completed her outfit with red, wide-leg trousers and a matching cherry-colored Mix Miu handbag.

“@LauraBethArtistry and @RPArtistryKC [thanks for] bringing me back to life and making me feel human again,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories the next day. “Love y’all.”

The glam squad styled Brittany’s tresses in big, bouncy curls that accentuated her blush-colored makeup.

Brittany has been husband Patrick’s No. 1 cheerleader since they started dating in high school. Brittany, who married the NFL star in 2022, now brings their kids to football games, too. In addition to Golden, they share daughter Sterling, 3, and son Bronze, 2.

“These are moments I’ll have with my family for the rest of my life,” Patrick told reporters earlier this month of having his family in the stands. “It’s a growing family, but [I] hope we are done growing for a little while. It’s cool that I’m able to play in these big games and the Kansas City community has brought me in to be a part of their family.”

Bill Gates is finally addressing his reported friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“In retrospect, I was foolish to spend any time with him. And he, sort of, got time with various people by spending time with other people,” Gates, 69, told the Wall Street Journal in a wide-ranging interview published on Friday, January 24. “So yes, I think I was quite stupid. I thought it would help me with global health philanthropy. In fact, it failed to do that it was just a huge mistake.”

Gates went on to say that the controversies surrounding Epstein prior to his 2019 arrest and subsequent death in August of the same year have made him more cautious about meeting new people now. “Definitely,” he told the Wall Street Journal. “I mean, are you kidding?”

Bill Gates and Melinda Gates' Former Marriage in Their Own Words

In 2022 Gates’ ex-wife Melinda French Gates cited his alleged relationship with Epstein as one of the factors that led to their divorce. “It’s not one thing, it was many things. But I did not like that he’d had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein,” she told CBS Mornings at the time. “I made that clear to him.”

French Gates also told Gayle King she met with Epstein “exactly one time” so she could get an understanding of what he was like. “I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door,” she added. “He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. I had nightmares about it afterwards. … It was awful, and he was awful.”

Authorities began to investigate allegations of sexual abuse against Epstein in 2005. Three years later he was convicted of hiring an underage girl for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute. He spent 13 months in prison before he was arrested again in July 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking involving minors. He died by suicide while incarcerated at the age of 66 one month after his arrest.

His friendship with Epstein is not the only relationship Gates is revisiting. In an interview with The Times of London published on Saturday, January 25, Gabes described his divorce from French Gates as “the mistake I regret the most.”

He tried to imitate his own parents’ marriage, he added, with his own. “I encouraged Melinda to be a little calmer than my mother was, but we were both quite driven. I spent more time with the kids than my dad did, but the ratio was still 10:1, with Melinda doing most things for the kids. We had a great time.”

Melinda Gates Resigns From Her and Ex-Husband Bill Gates’ Joint Foundation

Gates also said he thinks there is a “certain wonderfulness to spending your entire adult life with one person.” He added, “When Melinda and I met, I was fairly successful but not ridiculously successful — that came during the time that we were together. So, she saw me through a lot. When we got divorced, it was tough and then she made the decision to leave the foundation — I was disappointed that she took the option to go off.”

Apart from the divorce, he also said, he’s experienced other failures — “but none that mattered.”

Bradley Cooper brought his daughter as his cheering squad while rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles at the NFC Championship.

Cooper, 50, walked hand-in-hand with his 7-year-old daughter, Lea, as they stepped out at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday, January 26. In a video shared via the NFL’s official Instagram account, Cooper gave a thumbs-up to the crowd and waved as the audience erupted into cheers.

“Bradley Cooper in the house to watch his birds,” text over the video read, while the NFL wrote in the caption, “Lifelong Eagles fan.”

Cooper and Lea were both decked out in Eagles merchandise, with him sporting a green hat and her rocking a green and white varsity jacket. (Cooper shares his daughter with ex Irina Shayk.)

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid Cheer on Philadelphia Eagles at NFL Playoffs

The Eagles took on the Washington Commanders on Sunday for a spot in the 2025 Super Bowl, while the Kansas City Chiefs prepared to face off against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship hours later. The winners of both games will compete in the Super Bowl at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on February 9.

Cooper was spotted one week earlier at the NFL team’s game against the Los Angeles Rams in Philadelphia with his girlfriend, Gigi Hadid. The pair were seen screaming in excitement as they rooted for the home team.

Cooper, a longtime Eagles fan, was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia and famously played Pat Solitano in 2012’s Silver Linings Playbook. (Cooper earned an Oscar nomination for his role.)

Hadid’s mom, meanwhile, owns a farm in Pennsylvania. (Us Weekly confirmed in December 2023 that Cooper purchased a home close to the farm, but an insider said that his purchase “has nothing to do with Gigi or her family.”)

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid’s Relationship Timeline

Cooper and Hadid sparked romance rumors in October 2023 after they were photographed together in New York City. A source exclusively told Us at the time that Cooper and Hadid “have a lot in common” including being single parents. (Hadid is mom to daughter Khai, 4, with whom she welcomed with Zayn Malik.)

Cooper and Hadid have since made several appearances together, including traveling for pal Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in May 2024. After Cooper was absent from the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in October 2024, Hadid made a rare comment about their relationship.

“He’s watching from home tonight,” she told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “He is on dad duty.”

The Valley star Brittany Cartwright welcomed her 36th trip around the sun with open arms.

“It’s no secret that the past year has been incredibly tough for me,” Cartwright, 36, exclusively told Us Weekly on Sunday, January 26. “I feel like I’m starting my 36th year almost as a new me in a way, and so I decided to throw myself a little birthday celebration with some of my closest friends.”

Some of Brittany’s “closest friends,” of course, include Kristen Doute and her fiancé Luke Broderick — who are expecting their first child together — as well as Nia Sanchez, Janet Caperna, Zack Wickman, Jasmine Goode, Melissa Marie, Scheana Shay, Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz.

“I asked everyone to make a donation in honor of the Los Angeles wildfires instead of bringing a gift,” Brittany told Us. “So all the funds we raised are going towards the American Red Cross Fire Relief. I also have another really exciting initiative I’m working on to raise funds for the people affected by the fires here in L.A. that will be announced soon.”

Brittany Cartwright Teases Next Chapter Amid Jax Taylor Divorce

She continued, “Anything I can do to help, I will.”

Earlier this month, numerous wildfires tore through the greater Los Angeles area, devastating neighborhoods including the Palisades and Eaton. To date, the fires have destroyed more than 12,000 structures and killed at least 27 people. As many as 200,000 residents were forced to flee their homes in order to escape the flames.

Many celebrities, including Mandy Moore, Paris Hilton, Spencer Pratt and more, either lost their homes or were forced to evacuate.

In addition to raising funds for the ongoing L.A. wildfire relief efforts, Brittany is focusing on a new year as she says goodbye to a tumultuous 2024. The reality television star celebrated her birthday exactly one week after her and her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, separated and she moved into an Airbnb. The party, which was planned, designed and styled by Picnic + Petal, took place at Brittany’s house.

6 More Takeaways From Us Weekly's In-Depth Interview With Brittany Cartwright

After five years of marriage, Brittany filed for divorce in August 2024 — six months after she announced she and Jax were taking “space” from each other. According to court documents obtained by Us at the time, Brittany listed their date of separation as January 24 and cited “irreconcilable differences “ as the reason for their split.

The pair share 3-year-old son, Cruz.

In October 2024, Brittany gave Us an exclusive update on her relationship with Jax and how she is navigating the couple’s very public divorce.

“I’m trying to just like, you know, focus on my son and he is, like, the light of my life,” Cartwright told Us at the time. “We’re having so much fun together. And it’s a lot, but I’m just smiling my way through it all.”

Justin Baldoni’s sister is singing his praises amid his ongoing legal drama with his It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively.

“Happy birthday JB, I love you and I celebrate you – the man you are, the love you embody, the strength of your connection to God, the essence of your being, your dedication to truth, to service and to love – today and all days,” Baldoni’s sister, Sara, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, January 25. “I am so proud to call you my big brother and annoyingly squeeze the hell out of you until the end of time. Xx.”

Alongside the message, Sara shared a snap of her and Baldoni, 41, sweetly embracing as they smiled for the camera.

Sara’s upload comes one day after his mom, Sharon, celebrated him while sharing set photos from his time on Jane The Virgin. (Baldoni starred as Rafael in the CW drama, which aired for five seasons from 2014 to 2019.)

Justin Baldoni’s Mom Tells Him to ‘Keep Your Integrity' Amid Legal Battle

“Happy Birthday Justin ~ remembering a wonderful moment after the final ending of Jane The Virgin,” Sharon wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 24. “[It was] a moment where joy and love permeated the set, where friendships and family were born and kindness and integrity permeated the hearts of all the actors and crew, where sadness only entered because it was the final scene of a wonderful journey ~ and the beginning of the rest of our lives.”

Sharon noted that the 2019 series finale of Jane The Virgin was marked by a “happy, loving and generous memory with hearts exploding with possibilities.”

“Life has its moments and also its surprises — as you keep your integrity through it all justice and truth will shine today and into eternity,” Sharon concluded. “I love you more than you will ever know! Happy Birthday, my beautiful boy! May God continue to bless you in truth.”

The tributes come amid Baldoni’s public legal battle against Lively. Months after speculation swirled of a rift between the pair on the set of It Ends With Us, Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment in December 2024. He denied the allegations and fired back with his own $400 million lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as well as her publicist, Leslie Sloane.

Amid the ongoing drama, Baldoni has been spending time with his family. “We’re grateful to be with the family, man,” he told photographers on January 17 in footage obtained by TMZ. “We have amazing friends and family and faith.”

While Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne has purposefully kept her son, Tommy Zizzo Jr., out of the spotlight, she has some of the sweetest things to say about him.

“My son and I, we’ve really come together,” Jayne, 53, said of her son in 2020, after experiencing legal and financial troubles following her split from Tom Girardi. “He’ll be 30 in June. Jesus. I just remember walking around here in New York being pregnant with him, but he’ll be 30. And so asking him what he thinks about things, you know, you get this adult perspective, and it’s really nice.”

Jayne shares Tommy — a Los Angeles police officer — with her ex-husband Thomas Zizzo. The pair divorced in 1992, shortly after Tommy was born.

Erika Jayne Says Discussing Tom Girardi Feels Like ‘Cutting Open’ a Wound

In 2025, Tommy made headlines after he testified at A$AP Rocky’s assault trial. Rocky, 36, faces two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm relating to a 2021 shooting incident. He is accused of firing two shots at Terell Ephron, a childhood friend and former collaborator.

Zizzo was one of the first officers to respond to the scene. Rocky has pleaded guilty and denied all allegations against him.

Jayne has admitted that she keeps her son out of the spotlight “out of respect for his privacy as a police officer. Keep scrolling for everything she’s said about her son.

He’s Supportive of Her

After she separated from her ex-husband Girardi in November 2020, Jayne revealed that both her former husband Zizzo and her son have supported her through her own legal and financial ups and downs. “People don’t understand this, but we’re actually pretty tight,” she said of the pair. “They have been very supportive of me, and I’m very grateful.”

She added that the separation helped her become closer to Tommy. “My son and I, we’ve really come together. He’ll be 30 in June. Jesus. I just remember walking around here in New York being pregnant with him, but he’ll be 30. And so asking him what he thinks about things, you know, you get this adult perspective, and it’s really nice.”

They Look Alike

Earlier in 2020, Jayne shared a rare photo of her son on social media along with the caption, “People say we look alike.”

She’s Defensive of Him

Zizzo’s job as a police officer has drawn the ire of some people on social media. After one person tweeted that he should be shot in February 2019, Jayne fired back, “This is disgusting.”

After a commenter again attacked Zizzio for his profession in 2020, Jayne insisted her son is a great cop (and person). “My son was brought up NOT to be racist,” Jayne, who is from Georgia, wrote in response. “His job is to protect and serve ALL not just people that have his skin color. F–k you and stay off my page.”

RHOBH's Erika Jayne Learned to Be Own ‘Safety Net’ After Tom Girardi Split

She Says She’s Been a Good Mom

Though Jayne has admitted she wasn’t a great wife, in her 2018 book Pretty Mess she insisted she was a good mom. “I knew I was a good mom. I thought I was adult enough to be a wife and a mother, but really I wasn’t,” she wrote. “Tommy bore the brunt of that. It was this constant pressure and it was hard for both of us to take. We broke up when my son was a little more than 18 months old. I came out of a divorced home. I did what I knew, which was to take my son and leave.”

Taylor Swift showed her support for Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs as they faced the Buffalo Bills in the 2025 AFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 26.

The pop star, 35, was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, as the tight end, also 35, and his teammates hit the field. Swift stunned in an oversized Louis Vuitton sweatshirt over a black miniskirt and red tights, arriving with mom Andrea.

The AFC Championship Game will determine whether the Chiefs or the Bills advance to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on February 9. Earlier on Sunday, the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles faced off in the NFC Championship Game for a spot in the upcoming Super Bowl.

Last weekend, Swift was in attendance as Kelce and the Chiefs began their playoff run at Arrowhead Stadium after clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC, which earned them a bye week for the wild card round. In the January 18 divisional playoff game, the Chiefs overcame the Houston Texans with a final score of 23-14.

Swift was joined by her family — mom Andrea, dad Scott and brother Austin — and WNBA star Caitlin Clark in a private suite for the divisional playoff game. Swift was spotted celebrating after Kelce scored a touchdown, hitting her hand on the glass window of the suite and bobbing her head. She also hugged Clark, 23, and grabbed Kelce’s father Ed’s hand after the big play.

This is Swift’s second year by Kelce’s side throughout the playoffs. When the Chiefs took on the Bills in the divisional round in January 2024, Swift got the opportunity to spend time with Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, for the first time.

Every Time Taylor Swift Attended an NFL Game to Cheer for Travis Kelce

After their interactions in the suite at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, went viral, Travis told Jason, 37, during an episode of their “New Heights” podcast, “Tay said she absolutely loved you.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline

Swift notably shared a special moment with Travis after the 2024 AFC Championship Game, joining him on the field for the first time to congratulate him on the Chiefs’ victory against the Baltimore Ravens. The couple, who have been dating since the summer of 2023, hugged and kissed as they enjoyed the triumph alongside Travis’ teammates and family.

The Chiefs went all the way to the Super Bowl last season, ultimately defeating the San Francisco 49ers in February 2024 to win their second consecutive title. The Chiefs have been vocal about their hopes for a three-peat, which would make them the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row.

In October 2024, Swift performed three sold-out shows at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, with some fans speculating that she blessed the stadium where the 2025 Super Bowl will be played. During each concert at the venue, she made a nod to Travis as she mimicked throwing a football, mouthed “touchdown” and copied Travis’ first-down hand gesture before kissing three fingers and holding them up.

Ricki Lake shared a heartwarming update after her home and several irreplaceable mementos were destroyed in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

“One of the things I lost, among everything I lost, but one of the things that really was so painful for me [was] I lost my birth videos, my pictures, my album of my home birth to my son,” Lake, 56, said in a video shared via Instagram on Sunday, January 26.

Lake shares sons Milo, 27, and Owen, 23, with ex husband Rob Sussman. Owen’s 2001 water birth was the subject of Lake’s 2008 documentary The Business of Being Born.

“I consider it my most meaningful piece of work I’ve done in my 37-year career, but it’s very personal,” she explained. “It was on my own money, it was my own experience, and when I had my son, I had pictures during that birth. It was a beautiful album. It was really important to me.”

“She reached out and offered to make copies of the photos of my birth,” Lake wrote in the video’s caption. “One of the many priceless things I lost in the fire. I am so deeply moved by this kind gesture. .”

In the video, Lake noted, “I haven’t talked to [Lickson] in years, but she reached out and sent me a message that she saw I lost my house.” She added, “It’s like the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for me. I can’t believe that I’m going to be able to have those back.

Lake’s Malibu home was destroyed by the Pacific Palisades wildfire on January 7. She and husband Ross Burmingham evacuated their home after exhausting all efforts to save it. She is one of several celebrities— including Paris Hilton, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, among others — who have lost their homes as a result of the ongoing fires.

“Grateful to have made it out alive and uninjured. Forever grateful to @kirbykotler_ our absolute angel,” Lake wrote via Instagram at the time. “He did everything to try to save our precious property. No doubt had we stayed, we would not have survived. Sharing for all who have been asking. Thank you for the love and well wishes.”

She added, “Again, please pray for those impacted by this catastrophic event and help if you are able.”

Idris Elba is recalling how he prepared to play Nelson Mandela in the 2013 film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

“In 2013, when I was preparing to play Nelson Mandela in the film Long Walk to Freedom, I spent the night in a prison cell on Robben Island, 12 km outside Cape Town, where Mandela was imprisoned from 1964 to 1982,” Elba, 52, wrote in a Sunday, January 26, article for The Sunday Times.

He continued, “I’d been given the incredible honour to portray this great man and up until that night, I hadn’t quite grasped the significance of having over 20 years of life stolen from him. I had to persuade the authorities to let me stay there, and they finally agreed.”

Elba explained that the place “holds a lot of bad memories” and is “definitely haunted,” adding that he “heard strange noises throughout the night” even though he was “the only person there.”

Idris Elba Reveals He Was Once Kicked Out of Robert De Niro's Office

“I had a bucket, a thin mattress and a blanket; they kept the lights on because that’s what they used to do and I didn’t sleep much,” Elba recalled. “It was a scary experience, but it definitely gave me a stronger connection to Mandela.”

The biopic chronicled Mandela’s life journey, including spending 27 years in prison before serving as the first Black president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

Mandela died in 2013 at the age of 95. The news of his death was formally announced when the credits rolled during the London premiere of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. The entire auditorium held a two-minute moment of silence at the end of the film. After the screening, the audience applauded and gave a standing ovation.

When the movie was released in 2013, Elba recalled being nervous to show the film to a South African audience.

Idris Elba Says He’s Been in Therapy for a Year Due to ‘Unhealthy Habits’

“In South Africa, they were very silent and I wondered what that was about,” he recalled, per Variety. “I thought maybe they didn’t like it, but they were just absorbing. You’ve got to remember, the whole freedom struggle in South Africa is about 25 years old. When we got there, the reaction was real.”

Producer Anant Singh also showed a scene of the movie to Mandela and shared his reaction to seeing Elba. “He saw Idris Elba as the old Mandela in the Mandela prosthetics and he says, ‘Is that me?’” he said, per the outlet. “And it was very cute and he smiled and laughed, so it was very good.”
