Chris Pratt offered an update on his family amid the ongoing L.A. fires, revealing that ex-wife Anna Faris’ home has burned down.

“Alright, I’m going to go check out my house. Miraculously it’s still standing,” Pratt, 45, said in an Instagram video uploaded on Wednesday, January 22. “By the grace of God, we have four walls and a roof.”

Pratt said he was “going to check out the town,” noting he hadn’t been back to his home since the Palisades fires.

“It’s truly devastating, as you know. Silver lining is my house was saved but, at the same time, so many people’s houses were burned around us and the community’s gone,” he continued. “My son’s school is gone. My son’s mom’s house burned down.”

Celebrities Share Personal Photos of Heartbreaking Los Angeles Wildfires

Pratt shares 12-year-old son Jack with Faris, 48, whom he was married to from 2009 to 2018. Following their divorce, he moved on with Katherine Schwarzenegger. Pratt and Schwarzenegger, 35, tied the knot in 2019 and have since welcomed three kids. (Faris married cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021.)

The Guardians of the Galaxy star concluded his video on Wednesday telling Instagram followers that he would keep them updated as they deal with the aftermaths of the fires.

“It’s been a tough few weeks, but we’re resilient,” Pratt captioned the video. “Praying for LA and all those impacted, we’ll get through this together. God bless.”

On January 7, an extreme wind storm caused by Santa Ana gusts sparked fast-burning brush fires that quickly spread through Los Angeles. The fires are 70 percent contained, and more than 23,000 acres of land have burned, as of Wednesday. At least 27 people have been killed by the blaze.

Celebrities have been speaking out in the wake of the devastation, sharing updates on their homes, some of which were burned to the ground. Pratt is one of the lucky ones whose house is still standing. Earlier this week, Nina Dobrev spoke candidly about “feeling survivor’s guilt” after her home survived one of the fires.

“I put myself in the shoes of all these people whose homes have burned down to the ground with their belongings, their memories, their everything that made them feel safe in the world now gone, and their insurance dropped them,” the actress said in an Instagram video on January 19. “For some of them, the level of tragedy is immeasurable and it’s really hard to comprehend. They’ve lost everything.”

FBI: International’s midseason premiere is full of tension and fear as Vo’s life continues to hang in the balance.

“How is she?” Special Agent in Charge Wes Mitchell (Jesse Lee Soffer) asks a surgeon about Cameron Vo (Vinessa Vidotto) in Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek at the Tuesday, January 28, episode, after she was shot during the midseason finale.

The doctor explains that while Vo is “stable” but due to “extensive soft tissue damage” around her collar bone (where she was shot) the “risk of infection is extremely high.”

The wound is currently free from bacteria, but the doctor warns, “If an infection does take hold especially in that area …” it won’t be good.

A worried Andre Raines (Carter Redwood) tries to get more details, asking, “Then what? What happens?” The surgeon ominously says that’s “all I can share” for now.

Despite their fear of losing Vo, Wes reminds his team that they have to find fugitive Greg Csonka (Beau Knapp) who killed his former partner. While the Fly Team had the evidence they needed to put Csonka away for 30 years, he managed to escape transport during the midseason finale, which aired in December 2024.

During his escape, Csonka shot Vo from behind which resulted in a fractured collar bone that needed immediate surgery.

When the series picks up on Tuesday, Wes and his team must put aside their feelings and find Csonka before he does more harm.

“OK. I know we all want to stay here. And leaving feels like the wrong thing to do right now, but Greg Csonka is out there,” Wes tells his crew, which includes longtime friend Tyler Booth (Jay Hayden), who joined the Fly Team during season 4, episode 7.

Wes explains in the preview that Csonka is “on the run and he’s willing to do God knows what to avoid capture.”

He notes, “Cam would want us to go get him. I know I would” before having one of the FBI’s computer techs come in to stay at the hospital and give them “constant updates.”

Agent Amanda Tate (Christina Wolfe) then confirms that Csonka’s plane was located on the border of France and Germany.

“That narrows it down to about a million square miles,” Tyler quips, before Megan “Smitty” Garrison (Eva-Jane Willis) adds that Interpol has officially issued a red notice for the fugitive.

According to CBS, the Fly Team’s hunt for Csonka will lead them to Paris during the episode, titled “The Kill Floor.”

While in the City of Lights, Raines gets kidnapped and is held hostage by Csonka, per photos of the episode that have been released. Other pictures from the midseason premiere show Wes and Tyler seemingly talking to the fugitive on the phone and a worried Smitty coordinating with local police.

Sting is on the mend after an illness kept him from performing.

“Thanks so much for all of the well wishes. I am steadily improving from a temporary throat infection which has prevented me from singing, though I’m looking forward to resuming my performances and rescheduled shows soon,” the singer, 73, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, January 22. “Love, Sting.”

The health update came one day after Sting canceled an upcoming appearance and postponed three shows in a statement that read, “On advisement from his doctor, due to illness, it is with sincere regret that Sting must cancel his appearance at the Bass Magazine Awards this Thursday.”

Sting was expected to accept the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Bass Magazine Awards at the event on Thursday, January 23. Two dates of his ongoing STING 3.0 concert tour were pushed back to the summer to accommodate his health, with performances in Arizona and California being postponed.

Celebrity Health Scares Through the Years

In addition to the tour stops, Sting was slated to perform at the Cherrytree Music Company’s 20th anniversary on Saturday, January 25, which has since been delayed to Thursday, May 29.

“Fans should retain their tickets for the postponed shows, as they will be honored on the new dates,” the initial statement concluded. “Sting sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience and extends his gratitude to the fans for their understanding.”

Sting’s next appearance is currently set to take place in February. The Police vocalist will return to the stage at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis alongside Billy Joel before traveling to South America as part of the STING 3.0 tour.

Before his health battle, Sting did an interview with the Sunday Times during which he and wife Trudie Styler revealed that their son, Joe, lost his home in the Los Angeles wildfires.

“He’s got three little ones so it’s devastating,” Styler said. “They’ve found a pet-friendly hotel for them and the dogs.”

Wildfires broke out in the Pacific Palisades on January 7 and quickly spread throughout other parts of Los Angeles. Many celebrities who live in the area have offered updates about losing their homes and personal belongings.

The new docuseries The Fall of Diddy features interviews with people who’ve known and worked with Sean “Diddy” Combs over the years — including his ex-girlfriend Kat Pasion, who is speaking out for the first time.

Pasion shared her story in the finale episode of the four-part docuseries, which premieres on Investigation Discovery Monday, January 27. “I wasn’t sure if I wanted to speak my story and make it public,” she explained. “Over the last probably 11 months I’ve decided to speak my truth and take my power back.”

According to Pasion, she first connected with Diddy, now 55, following his split from on-off girlfriend Cassie and the November 2018 death of his ex-partner Kim Porter. Pasion noted that she’d recently lost someone as well, so they initially bonded over their grief.

“He would say certain things like, ‘I’m trying to do things differently this time,’” she recalled. “Which at the time, I didn’t understand what he meant. What was different from now than before? And then it started to filter out as I started to see this other side of him as the months progressed — a different side that I didn’t like.”

Eyebrow-Raising Quotes About Diddy's Alleged Behavior Over the Years

At one point, Pasion alleged, Diddy pantomimed grabbing her neck after a verbal disagreement.

“He put his hand up on my neck but he wasn’t, like, touching my neck yet — it was just kind of hovering,” she claimed. “We were looking each other in the eye, and I was like, ‘Don’t you f—ing dare,’ and like, ‘You wouldn’t, because I’ll call the police, I’ll do whatever.’ And he just started laughing and he kind of played it off like it was a joke and he was just kidding, and we were back to having fun.”

Later, Pasion was thrown by something Diddy allegedly said during a 2019 vacation to the Bahamas. The pair had been watching some of the Lifetime docuseries Surviving R. Kelly, which detailed sexual assault allegations against Kelly, 58.

“He’s walking out of the room and he says, ‘There’s a little bit of R. Kelly in all of us’ and then walks out the door,” Pasion claimed. “I remember being like, ‘What? There is not a little bit of R. Kelly in all of us.’ But I wasn’t absorbing really the severity of that statement until later.”

Breaking Down All of the Allegations Against Diddy

Later that year, Pasion moved back to her native Canada, where she was living when the coronavirus pandemic began. As a result, she ended up staying there for a year and a half and didn’t see Diddy again until 2021. When she returned to the U.S., Diddy allegedly asked her to join him in California as he worked on The Love Album: Off the Grid.

“At that point, it was more of like a friendship,” Pasion said of her relationship with Diddy, noting that they spent “all night” in the studio before having a pool party in the daytime. “It wasn’t till the last night when he went dark.”

Pasion claimed that she was in bed while Diddy was snorting what she thought was tusi, otherwise known as pink cocaine.

“He was in the bathroom for hours and I’m sleeping, and he comes out of the bathroom and wakes me up,” she alleged. “He’s telling me I can’t go to sleep, he’s expecting X, Y and Z from me, and he forces himself.”

Pasion didn’t want to “relive that memory” in too much detail, saying, “It was just scary to be honest. Because his whole tone, everything changed.”

While she didn’t say what happened, she claimed it “wasn’t consensual.” She added, “The person who came out of that bathroom and woke me up was someone that was — I didn’t even recognize him. And I knew I was never gonna see him again and I never wanted to remember or repeat what happened, and I just was numb and I suppressed it.”

After the alleged incident, Pasion wrote about it in her journal. Two weeks later, she claimed she received a call from Diddy’s assistant, who said that the mogul wanted to speak to her.

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

“He gets on the phone, he starts to threaten me and my livelihood,” Pasion alleged. “‘I can call the embassy and get you deported back to Canada, you don’t know who you’re f—ing with, you don’t know what I can do to you.’ And he’s yelling at me, he is full-throttle pissed off, I can’t even get in a word. I think towards the end of the conversation, which was under a few minutes, I said, ‘You’re a demon.’ And he hung up.”

In response to Pasion’s claims, a rep for Diddy issued the following statement: “As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous. Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that the accusations against Mr. Combs are pure fiction.”

Diddy has been in jail since September 2024 following his arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The Fall of Diddy premieres on Investigation Discovery Monday, January 27, and Tuesday, January 28, at 9 p.m. ET. Episodes will also be available to stream on Max.

Turns out Gavin Rossdale can wield more than just a guitar and a microphone — the Bush frontman is a rockstar in the kitchen as well!

“Hey, I’m Gavin Rossdale, welcome to my kitchen,” the rocker, 59, says in the trailer for his new cooking show, Dinner With Gavin Rossdale, which Us Weekly can exclusively debut.

Set against the backdrop of his Hollywood Hills home, Rossdale personally designs, cooks and serves a three-course meal for each of his celebrity guests — including Brooke Shields and Serena Williams — on the series, which premieres on February 13, 2025, via Vizio on WatchFree+.

But for Rossdale, the most important element of the show is the conversation.

“It’s not my nature to, like, pat myself on the back,” Shields, 59, reveals in the trailer. When Rossdale responds, “You’re so mean to yourself. We’ve got to work on that,” Shields jokingly changes the subject: “Can I eat some cheesecake? Jesus, are we getting into life again?”

Rossdale told Us that developing a cooking show was a full circle moment for him, as his first breakout song with Bush, “Everything Zen,” begins, “There must be something we can eat.”

Gavin Rossdale Jokes His and Gwen Stefani's Sons Keep Him as a ‘Caterer'

“The best part about food is that it’s a bit like music in a sense because there’s no particular competition in music or food,” he said. “I’m really happy if I can have three great new records to play, and so it’s really always about the battle itself. If I can make a really fantastic dinner for you, you can make a fantastic one for me tomorrow.”

While he doesn’t consider himself a professional chef by any means, he acknowledged he “has a bit of a knack for this.” But at the end of the day, he says “food was a secondary thing to talking to these great people.”

Among the many topics discussed with his esteemed guests was parenting children with privilege, something he and Williams, 43 — who is mom to Olympia, 7, and Adira, 17 months — could relate on.

“[My kids] have this incredible life, but it’s always a balance with how to keep the values and work for things and not expect things to happen overnight,” Rossdale — who shares sons Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 10, with ex-wife Gwen Stefani and is dad of daughter Daisy, 33, from a previous relationship — told Us. “I’m really proud of all my children, all individuals with really good values and very sweet, amenable good people.”

Gavin Rossdale Takes Us Backstage on Bush's 'Loaded: Greatest Hits' Tour

In fact, his children were part of the reason he pursued the show.

“I wanted to find a way to not have to travel for work and leave my kids all the time,” he told Us. “I love traveling and I love playing. The sacrifice is that I just miss my kids horribly. … [The show] is a great lesson in being tenacious and just holding onto an idea and hoping it works. A bit like my music career, everything takes time.”

In addition to Shields and Williams, Rossdale engages in spirited conversation over dinner with Selma Blair, Tom Jones, Common and Jack McBrayer on the show.

Tom Sandoval may not be a Traitor but his fellow contestants still had their suspicions about his behavior on season 3 of The Traitors.

The season started with Sandoval asking to be a Faithful — to the surprise of Us and fellow viewers. Sandoval was still hit with digs about his controversial past when host Alan Cumming notably told him, “Would you feel I’d betrayed you, Tom. Doesn’t feel so good, does it?”

Sandoval’s tumultuous time continued with offscreen memes about his notable sweat stains and some shade from his costars about his ability to play the game.

“He’s terrible. To be honest with you, there was no other reason for him saying my name,” Chrishell Stause exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2025. “He just said it so blatantly that he knew I was a Traitor. Of course he’s going to act like, ‘Oh, I really was just playing the game.’ To me, it felt personal and you probably can’t change your mind at this point.”

All Rules and Behind-the-Scenes Secrets You Didn’t Know About ‘The Traitors’

Chrishell, who noted on the show that she’s friends with his ex Ariana Madix, added that she didn’t ask Ariana for advice about dealing with Sandoval.

Keep scrolling for what Sandoval’s fellow contestants on The Traitors have said about his behavior while filming season 3:

Chrishell Stause

Once filming wrapped in 2024, Chrishell Stause shared a series of promotional photos of all her fellow contestants — except Sandoval. The audience got more insight into their issues when The Traitors showed Sandoval accusing Chrishell of not being a Faithful despite no evidence to support his theory. The pair faced off at the first roundtable banishment meeting where Chrishell claimed Sandoval only named her because she’s close with Ariana.

“I thought it was ridiculous,” Chrishell exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2025. “I just felt like of all the people and all the minds at this table, do we really think Sandoval solved the puzzle in 0.5 seconds of leaving the room? No.”

Chrishell noted that Sandoval’s decision to name her right off the bat “worked” in her favor, adding, “I felt like he was so loud and so wrong. It really felt like whoever he says [the Traitor] is, we probably know it isn’t. So I think it helped in my case, to be honest.”

Jeremy Collins

“Tom would look at me all the time. Tom was following me around the castle,” Jeremy told Us in January 2025. “I said, ‘Tom, I’m not a Traitor. Why do you think I am a Traitor?’ He replied, ‘Because you said you were nervous.’ I said, ‘You’re not nervous? If you’re not a Traitor, you can die. You should be nervous.’ But Tom is Tom. I thought, ‘I’m going to put a bell on this dude so I know when he’s coming.'”

The Most Hilarious 'Traitors’ Aftershow Moments

Wells Adams

During an interview with Parade in January 2025, Wells poked fun at Sandoval’s swearing. g, “Watching it back, I was like, ‘Man, he’s got two faucets just running at full steam.’ I wish I clocked [his sweat stains], because then I could have been like, ‘You’re a Traitor because you’re sweating a lot,’” he said. “And then I probably wouldn’t be banished on the second episode. It’s a calamity of errors on my part.”

Sam Asghari

Peacock fans noticed an Instagram interaction between Britney Spears’ ex and Real Housewives of Dubai’s Chanel Ayan about Sandoval.

“Omg how cute and I thought at some point you might have been a traitor ,” Ayan wrote, to which Sam replied, “@chanelayan never. I would be sweating like that other guy .”

Ayan quipped, “@samasghari oh no that was nasty.”

Dorinda Medley

“The fact that Tom Sandoval is still there and we are not — now that is really bad,,” Dorinda told Wells during The Traitors after show after they were the first ones out.

Gabby Windey

The season 3 premiere kicked off with Gabby and Nikki’s reaction to Sandoval being captured on film.

“Oh my gosh, do you see who it is?” Nikki asked Gabby who replied, “Is that Sandoval? I am not saying hi to him.”

Nikki laughed at Gabby’s reaction, adding, “I know, right?”

Is Selena Gomez back in her pop star era? Signs are pointing to yes.

Gomez, 32, shared a video via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, January 22, that showed her wearing large headphones in what appeared to be a home recording studio. The clip began with the camera facing Gomez before she turned the focus onto a computer monitor. She covered the screen with a red heart emoji.

As Gomez panned the camera once again, her eyes got wide with excitement. Large speakers and a keyboard could be seen in the background.

It’s been nearly a year since Gomez has released new music. She dropped the single “Love On” in February 2024 following her 2023 hits “Single Soon” and “Calm Down,” a collaboration with Rema.

Why Selena Gomez Feels She Is ‘Finally at a Good Place’ in Her Life

Earlier this month, producer Benny Blanco hinted that he was cooking up something new in the studio with Gomez, his now-fiancée, while replying to a fan who asked Blanco, 36, to “make some new songs for our queen.”

In Blanco’s TikTok video, uploaded January 17, Gomez adjusted a microphone as she sat on a couch. She smiled as Blanco approached and playfully said, “Hi.”

This wouldn’t be the first time the couple — who announced their engagement in December 2024 — have teamed up in the studio. Blanco coproduced “Same Old Love” and “Kill Em With Kindness” from Gomez’s 2015 album, Revival, and was also a collaborator on “Single Soon.”

Gomez previously opened up about her future in the music business during a 2024 appearance on the “SmartLess” podcast. “The older I get, the more I’m kind of like, ‘I would like to find something to just settle on,'” she admitted at the time. “I do feel like I have one more album in me, but I would probably choose acting.”

When podcast cohosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett reminded Gomez that she didn’t need to choose between the two passions, she replied, “You’re right, but I am going to want to chill, because I’m tired.”

Selena Gomez Rings in 2025 With New Benny Blanco Pics

Gomez has been leaning into acting thanks to the success of the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building, which premiered in 2021. She’s earned widespread praise for her role as Mabel Mora, garnering multiple Golden Globe nominations. Last year, she was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the Emmy Awards.

Along with her hit TV show, Gomez sparked conversation with her performance in the movie Emilia Pérez, which also stars Zoe Saldaña and Karla Sofía Gascón. The film earned 10 nods at the 2025 Golden Globes, becoming the most-nominated comedy or musical movie in the awards show’s history. Emilia Pérez won a total of four trophies at the ceremony earlier this month, including Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy.

After Justin Baldoni fired back against It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively with a $400 million lawsuit, legal experts are breaking down how the amount was likely chosen.

Months after speculation swirled of a rift between the It Ends With Us costars, Baldoni, 40, filed a lawsuit against Lively, 37, and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as well as her publicist, Leslie Sloane on January 16. The filing came one month after The New York Times broke the news that Lively was suing Baldoni for sexual harassment, which he has since denied. (Baldoni and other plaintiffs also sued The New York Times in a separate December 2024 lawsuit.)

When it comes to breaking down the numbers, Joseph A. Brown Esq exclusively told Us Weekly that Baldoni and his companies “will be seeking damages for money lost and potential lost future earnings because of the actions of Blake, Ryan and their teams.”

“These numbers are based on calculating the total economic losses from the box office, loss of future wages for a sequel and future losses on other endeavors,” Brown shared.

Justin Baldoni's Studio Sues Blake Lively, Reynolds, Rep for $400 Million

Brown said that Baldoni’s legal team are “very much focusing on the NYTs piece as a major factor in this smear campaign,” based on the high dollar amount “they are asking from them.”

“The $400 million suit against Blake, Ryan and their teams will be asking damages of them all together,” Brown explained.

David J. Finkler, Esq. Law Offices of David J. Finkler, P.C., however, has a different take, alleging that it could be more about public perception. “In a New York federal court the only monetary pleading requirement is that the damages exceed $75,000.00,” he told Us. “If an attorney chooses to sue for more it is for ‘shock value’ only.”

Finkler noted that there is “no explanation” at this stage. “Basically it is a random number hoping to shock the Plaintiff,” the lawyer shared. “Has no definable support at this early stage in litigation. It is simply another allegation related to the counterclaim.”

Blake Lively Breaks Silence on Justin Baldoni 'It Ends With Us' Footage

Amid the pair’s legal battle, Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, released footage from the set of It Ends With Us in an attempt to disprove Lively’s side of the story. The footage obtained by Us on Tuesday, January 21, began with a statement that read, “Ms. Lively’s complaint alleges that during a scene Mr. Baldoni and Ms. Lively were filming for a slow dance montage, Mr. Baldoni was behaving inappropriately. The following videos captured on May 23, 2023, clearly refute Ms. Lively’s characterization of his behavior. The scene in question was designed to show the two characters falling in love and longing to be close to one another. Both actors are clearly behaving well within the scope of the scene and with mutual respect and professionalism. These are all three takes filmed of the sequence.”

The dancing scene shows footage that is debated in their lawsuits — including the moment where Baldoni claimed in court docs that Lively told him to get a nose job and the pair discussing the smell of her spray tan.

After the video was released, Freedman said in a statement to Us: “Us received this video from legal counsel, Bryan Freedman who has gone on record numerous times and told the public that Justin Baldoni and team has nothing to hide and this video, once more proves this. Justin and team have the right to defend themselves with the truth and this is what we will be continuing to show with the upcoming website containing all correspondence as well as relevant videos that directly quash her claims.”

Lively’s legal team subsequently slammed Baldoni and his team for choosing to publicly share the raw footage.

Blake Lively Responds to Justin Baldoni’s New $400 Million Lawsuit

“Justin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning. Every frame of the released footage corroborates, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described in Paragraph 48 of her Complaint,” Lively’s legal team said in a statement to Us on Tuesday. “The video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms. Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character.”

The statement continued: “Every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance and no intimacy coordinator present. Mr. Baldoni was not only Ms. Lively’s costar, but the director, the head of [the] studio and Ms. Lively’s boss. The video shows Ms. Lively leaning away and repeatedly asking for the characters to just talk. Any woman who has been inappropriately touched in the workplace will recognize Ms. Lively’s discomfort. They will recognize her attempts at levity to try to deflect the unwanted touching. No woman should have to take defensive measures to avoid being touched by their employer without their consent.”

The message concluded, “This matter is in active litigation in federal court. Releasing this video to the media, rather than presenting it as evidence in court, is another example of an unethical attempt to manipulate the public. It is also a continuation of their harassment and retaliatory campaign. While they are focused on misleading media narratives, we are focused on the legal process. We are continuing our efforts to require Mr. Baldoni and his associates to answer in court, under oath, rather than through manufactured media stunts.”

Us also confirmed that Lively and Reynolds, 48, filed a letter in court on Tuesday asking for Freedman to stop engaging in “improper conduct” such as an alleged “harassing and retaliatory media campaign” against the couple. The letter alleged that Lively previously issued Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios a cease-and-desist letter and a second one to Freedman in December 2024. Us reached out to reps for Lively and Baldoni at the time.

David Beckham opened up about his connection to Prince William, saying he’s “always been there” when the royal needs him.

Beckham, 49, spoke about the Prince of Wales, 42, during an appearance at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, January 21.

In a video shared by the Daily Mail, the self-described royalist gushed about being able to do charity work and volunteering with William and his father, King Charles III, 76.

“Over the years, I’ve done a lot with the Prince of Wales,” Beckham said.

David Beckham Says He and King Charles Shared ‘Beekeeping Tips’

“I’ve always been there when he’s asked me to get involved with things. Whether it be veterans, whether it be the London Air Ambulance Service, which we raised funds to get two new helicopters for London,” he said.

Beckham continued: “These are the things … when I was a kid, I used to see the helicopters going over, and you knew exactly what they were going to do. They were on their way to an emergency. So to be involved in that has always been a ‘yes’ for me.”

“Whenever the Prince of Wales sends me a message and says, ‘I need you to do this,’ or ‘Be there,’ it’s always a ‘yes,’” he added.

Beckham also spoke about his involvement with Charles’ charity, The King’s Trust, of which he was appointed an ambassador in June. The organization provides resources and support for young people in the U.K. between the ages of 11 and 30 to “develop essential life skills, get ready for work, and access job opportunities,” according to its website.

“When the king asked me to be part of his foundation, I was very honored, very privileged,” Beckham said, revealing that his mom “burst into tears” when he shared the news.

“Our king is an incredible man,” he said.

The soccer star’s relationship with the royals spans more than a decade. Beckham and his wife, Victoria Beckham, attended William and Princess Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011 and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018.

After Queen Elizabeth’s death in September 2022, Beckham waited in line for more than 12 hours to see the royal’s coffin at Westminster Abbey in London.

More recently, David and Victoria Beckham attended a state banquet at Buckingham Palace in December 2024.

Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg are learning first hand that imitation is the best form of flattery when it comes to their kids.

“When we’re away, we FaceTime sleep with each other,” McCarthy, 52, exclusively shared in the latest Us Weekly cover story of her relationship with her husband. “My son [Evan], who’s now 22 years old, I’ll go in his room to just check on him and he’s sleeping and he’s got the FaceTime, pillow, girlfriend.”

McCarthy, who tied the knot with Wahlberg, 55, in 2014, explained that her son can be seen “doing the little things that Donnie does for me” in his own relationship. McCarthy, who had previously received advice from Wahlberg to put their romance “at the center,” said seeing her son imitate her and Wahlberg provided clarity.

“That’s where I went, ‘Donnie was so right,’” McCarthy said. “No matter how butt-hurt your kids are initially, you’ve got to make you the priority. And then love always wins.”

Donnie Wahlberg, Jenny McCarthy Sleep Together on FaceTime While Traveling

McCarthy shared that she was previously “trained to hide” her love, but Wahlberg taught her otherwise. “That’s something that he would teach me of going, ‘No, no, no, we need to model,’” she said. “It’s OK if the kids are uncomfortable, they’ll get over it, because kids need to see what a healthy, loving relationship looks like.”

McCarthy admitted that she had to warm up to the idea of PDA around their kids. (McCarthy shares son Evan with ex-husband John Asher, while Wahlberg is dad to sons Xavier, 31, and Elijah, 23, whom he shares with first wife Kimberly Fey.)

“Sometimes it took me to be like, ‘Oh my God, your son’s here, don’t kiss me.’ That kind of thing,” she said. “It took me a little bit to adjust to it and then I realized once we did that, our kids fell in love with each other and became best friends.”

Wahlberg gushed that their childrens’ relationships mirror him and McCarthy. “It looks like little us. It looks like us in our 20s,” Wahlberg said, to which McCarthy replied, “It’s true!”

Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy on How They Keep Marriage and Sex 'Hot'

“I think it’s something that it took us trial and error to learn,” Wahlberg added. “But we’ve seen how successful and what an impact that’s had on our children and to see how they are now with their loved ones, it’s like, it’s very cool.”

Wahlberg noted that he and McCarthy, who are teaming up on the ID true-crime special Very Scary Lovers, work at keeping their marriage “hot.”

“Of course we love each other and we’re attracted to each other, but we also give it care,” Wahlberg said. “That’s how you keep [the spark] alive. We don’t take for granted that it’s been 10 years and we don’t have to do that stuff anymore. Keep doing it.”

For more on McCarthy and Wahlberg, watch the exclusive video above and pick up the latest issue of Us Weekly — on newsstands now.

Very Scary Lovers airs on ID Sunday, February 2, at 10 p.m. ET after the 9 p.m. ET finale of Wahlberg’s Very Scary People.

Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller are always team Paige DeSorbo — especially after her split from Craig Conover.

“I love all versions of Paige,” Batula, 33, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting her and Miller’s partnership with KIND Snacks. “I love Paige in a relationship and I love single Paige.”

Batula explained, “She’s our friend at the end of the day, so whatever makes her happy [we support].”

Miller, 29, agreed with her Summer House castmate, noting that “whatever choice and decisions” DeSorbo, 32, ends up making, “We’re on her side no matter what it is.”

The model teased that she’s ready for single DeSorbo to come out and play. “Honestly, I’m excited for her to kind of spread her wings outside of this relationship and hit the streets with me,” Miller said, adding that she is also single.

Batula confessed that she’s “jealous” that her two best friends are single in New York City at the same time, since she has been married to Kyle Cooke since September 2021.

“I think I might have to leave Kyle now so that I can join,” Batula joked.

Miller told Us that she texted Batula in their group chat days after news broke in December 2024 that DeSorbo and Conover, 35, split to see if she was going to be next.

Paige DeSorbo Shares Update on Her Friendship With Amanda Batula

“I was like, ‘Amanda, how are you doing over there?’ I’m like, ‘Do you feel like you want to join the single girls club?’” Miller teased, confirming that they all “love Kyle” and don’t want the married couple to break up.

She joked, “He can still be around, but maybe we just search for your second husband.” Miller laughed, but confessed that “Kyle’s going to kill me” for even thinking about making Batula a single lady.

Miller added that Batula will just have to be their “wingman,” and she is OK with that plan. “Yes. I [will] just be there just hanging out,” Batula chimed in.

Conover and DeSorbo began dating in summer 2021 after getting close during season 1 of Winter House.

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s Relationship Timeline

After confirming their romance, Conover began making cameos on Summer House while DeSorbo popped up on Southern Charm. While they were one of Bravo’s favorite couples, their long-distance relationship eventually took a toll.

DeSorbo announced in December 2024 that she and Conover had parted ways ahead of the holidays and after three years of dating. She told her “Giggly Squad” podcast listeners at the time that “no one did anything” and it “wasn’t a bad thing,” but they were over.

While a source exclusively told Us that month that Conover was “ready for the next steps and had plans to propose” before the breakup, living in separate states made things hard on their relationship. (DeSorbo resides in New York while Conover lives in South Carolina.)

“Paige does not want to move to Charleston, and logistically it was never going to work out long term,” the insider explained. “Many of their friends are not shocked at all, but everyone is sad for them.”

Conover, meanwhile, waited until the new year to speak out about the end of his relationship.

Craig Conover Hinted at Marrying Paige DeSorbo 2 Months Before Breakup

“This has all been very, very unexpected to say the least,” he said via his Instagram Story on January 7. “But I guess I gotta start living again, whatever that looks like.”

DeSorbo, for her part, has made headlines earlier this month for allegedly cheating on Conover with Saturday Night Live star Marcello Hernandez — an allegation she has denied.

DeSorbo was later spotted with a mystery man at the January 12 Philadelphia Eagles vs. Green Bay Packers game. After footage of her sitting in the stadium circulated, she replied via social media, writing, “Ima be outside a lot get used to it.”

While DeSorbo is entering her single girl era, her costars Batula and Miller are continuing to embrace the art of “bed rotting” with the help of KIND Snacks.

“We’re the bed routing queens. We welcome people and I feel like it gets a bad rap sometimes, but everything’s great in moderation,” Miller told Us of the partnership. “Why not have the best snack for being in bed? It leaves no crumbs. The KIND bars are a hundred percent crumb free, which we love [in] bed.”

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover Had Our Vote for Best Bravo Couple of 2024

KIND Snacks is kicking off 2025 by applauding Gen-Z’s form of self-care called bed rotting, which means lounging in bed as a way to reset. The brand is launching the KINDest Bed Rotting Experience sweepstakes, giving fans a chance to win a “cozy day of rest” in a luxurious hotel bed with bed rotting essentials and KIND Snacks.

“Rotting 101 is to only consume snacks that leave no mess and no crumbs and KIND bars are perfect,” Batula told Us. “You got the salty, you got the sweet. It’s the perfect mix. KIND just really gets it. … So we love [a] good bed rotting session.”

Billy Ray Cyrus’ son Trace Cyrus has shared an emotional message to his father.

Trace, 35, posted a throwback photo of himself on stage with his father via Instagram on Wednesday, January 22. Alongside the photo, Trace wrote an emotional caption that centered around his famous father, offering him support amid the issues he might be “struggling with.”

“Since my earliest memories all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever,” he wrote. “I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life.”

In the emotional post, Trace detailed the way Billy Ray has changed in his eyes, admitting that he and “the girls,” including sister Noah Cyrus, are worried about their dad. (Billy Ray has six children.  He adopted Trace and Brandi, 37, the biological children of ex-wife Tish Cyrus. He welcomed Miley, 32, Braison, 30, and Noah, 25, during his relationship with Tish. He also shares son Christopher Cody, 32, with Kristen Luckey.)

“Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you,” Trace continued.

He added, “You may be upset with me for posting this but I really could care less at this point. Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away. Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life and you haven’t even been there for her. That’s your baby girl. She deserves better. Somehow just like me she still idolizes you though.”

Trace went on to add that he and the rest of Billy Ray’s loved ones have noticed the “Old Town Road” singer has been struggling recently.

“We are all hanging on to memories of the man we once knew & hoping for the day he returns. You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it. Just like I showed up for you at mamaws funeral when you didn’t expect me to, I’m still here right now,” he wrote. “As I write this with tears in my eyes I hope you realize this message only comes from a place of love and also fear that the world may lose you far too soon. I love you Dad. We haven’t talked in a while but I’m over a year and half clean from alcohol. Guess what? I feel amazing..”

Trace concluded the post by publicly extending an offer of help to his dad.

“I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly but I think I have a pretty good idea & I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help. You know how to reach me. Till that day comes I will continue to pray for you. Billyraycyrus,” he wrote. (Us Weekly has reached out to Billy Ray Cyrus’ team for comment.)

Miley and Dad Billy Ray Cyrus’ Ups and Downs Over the Years

Billy Ray has been a fixture in the headlines in the past year, most notably for his messy divorce from Firerose, which was finalized in August 2024. A month prior, leaked audio and texts from a fight with Firerose, during which he appeared to slam his ex-wife Tish and daughter Miley also put him under the spotlight. Meanwhile, when Miley won her first Grammy in February 2024, she omitted Billy Ray’s name in her acceptance speech, fueling rumors of a feud between the pair.

Trace’s emotional plea came shortly after Billy Ray performed at the Liberty Ball on Monday, January 20, in honor of President Donald Trump’s inauguration. He sang “Achy Breaky Heart” after experiencing technical difficulties, but the performance received mixed reviews. Billy Ray responded to the criticism via social media on Wednesday, claiming, “You just had to be there.”

Robert Pattinson has a message for the Twilight haters.

“I love that people keep telling me, ‘Man, Twilight ruined the vampire genre,’” the actor, 38, said in an interview with GQ Spain published on Tuesday, January 21. “Are you still stuck on that s––t? How can you be sad about something that happened almost 20 years ago? It’s crazy.”

Pattinson shot to fame for his role as vampire Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga movies, the first of which hit theaters in 2008. He starred alongside Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner in all five movies in the saga, which grossed over $3 billion worldwide, though critical and fan reaction remains mixed to this day.

Though Twilight gave Pattinson his big break, the franchise could have looked very different, according to filmmaker Catherine Hardwicke, who directed the first film.

'Twilight’ Cast’s Dating History: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and More

During a November 2023 appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Hardwicke revealed that movie studio Summit Entertainment didn’t initially think Pattinson was the right choice for Edward.

“They called me back and go, ‘Do you think you can make this guy look good?’” she said of the studio’s reaction to Pattinson’s audition video. “I said, ‘Yeah, I do. Did you see his cheekbones? We’re doing a makeover on the hair and everything and he’s going to start working out and he’s going to be gorgeous.’”

Hardwicke then had to convince the execs that Pattinson was the man for the role after he failed to impress them in person.

“They didn’t believe it at first. He walked over there with a stained shirt,” she said. “It was Rob.”

Most Memorable Movie and TV Vampires Through the Years

Pattinson, too, struggled with the studio’s direction for the original movie, which he wanted to lean into a more angsty aesthetic. “I wanted to make it as arty as possible,” Pattinson told GQ (per Variety) in February 2022. “We had this strange tension where the studio was scared to make things a little bit too emo and stuff. I thought that was the only way to play it. I spent so much time [on set] infuriated… I can’t believe the way I was acting half the time.”

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a big-time gym girlie who aims to hit her body weight in grams of protein. Whether that means staying up to meal prep or spending a little extra at the grocery store, I always have high-protein meals and snacks on hand to support my training. Yes, it’s a hassle, but it’s a hassle well worth it!

When it comes to pre-made snacks, I’m also a big-time ingredient snob — especially when it comes to protein bars. If something has too many chemicals, hard-to-pronounce ingredients, added sugars or saturated fats, I won’t be buying. The protein-to-calorie ratio also has to be close to one gram of protein for every 10 calories — as a general rule of thumb — to ensure I’m getting the biggest bang for my buck. In case you can’t tell, I’m as picky as it gets!

The Best Protein Bar on Amazon Is 24% Off Right Now

And yes, of course, the taste is important. The snack has to be “worth it” in terms of price, calories and value — that is, how much high-quality protein I’m actually getting. While I typically opt for whey or milk protein-derived bars, I’ve been obsessed with these vegan protein bars that you’d never know are vegan. They taste like a decadent treat — without any guilt!

These caramel fudge bars are made with pea and soy protein isolates, dairy-free chocolate and vegan caramel, but here’s the kicker: they’re completely free of sugar! Unlike most protein bars on the market, which are candy bars in disguise, natural (sugar-free) sweeteners give these bars their dessert-like taste. It’s a dream come true for sweets lovers with protein and health goals to reach.

In addition to having less than one gram of sugar, the bars are made with very little saturated fat — only three grams. They’re also packed with five grams of hunger-curbing fiber and 15 grams of protein! It’s a satisfying snack, to say the least; you’ll probably prefer it over your current go-to dessert. The texture is chewy and soft, perfect for candy lovers, chocoholics and and baked good connoisseurs.

Even if you aren’t a chocolate and caramel fan, there are four other swoon-worthy flavors to choose from: cookie butter, brownie batter, peanut butter and cookie dough. All of the flavors have between 14 and 15 grams of protein and only 190 calories, so they’re pretty darn close to the protein-to-calorie ratio I shoot for. Each pack comes with 15 bars, too, so consider your snack, dessert, breakfast and 3 p.m. slump needs covered.

Hoda Kotb may have left the Today show, but she’s proving that her friendship with her former cohosts is here to stay.

Kotb, 60, shared a photo via Instagram with Jenna Bush Hager, 43, and Savannah Guthrie, 53, on Wednesday, January 22. The trio can be seen smiling at a restaurant in the image.

“I love Wednesdays!! @savannahguthrie @jennabhager. Also remember when you had that big goodbye party and now I am like…… HIIIIIIIIIIII!” Kotb wrote in the caption.

Bush Hager reposted the image to Instagram Stories, writing: “Love these babes.”

Guthrie also shared the image via Instagram Stories. She captioned it: “Reunion.”

The outing comes less than two weeks after Kotb’s last episode on the NBC morning show on January 10.

Following the star’s exit, Today With Hoda & Jenna relaunched as Today With Jenna & Friends. Bush Hager will host with a rotating selection of celebrity guests until Kotb’s replacement is selected.

“Whoever sits in this seat is going to have the easiest job in the world ‘cause they’re sitting next to you,” Kotb said in a September 2024 episode of Hoda & Jenna after announcing her plans to leave the show.

“I mean, the only thing they have to do is not laugh so hard they pee their pants. That’s it. They just have to hang on. You are this bright light, you always have been, and it’s your turn,” she added.

Savannah Guthrie Reveals How Hoda Broke News to Her About 'Today' Exit

Bush Hager responded: “If I’m bright, it’s because I’m sitting in your glow.”

As for Kotb, the TV personality won’t be completely retiring from news. In an interview with Page Six published on January 9, Kotb revealed that she will serve as a special correspondent for Today and NBC and has signed a deal to cover the next two Olympics.

Kotb also shared plans to start a wellness app and company during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on January 6.

Hoda Kotb Is Overwhelmed by Fan Support After Today Show Exit News

“[It will] involve retreats and a podcast and all kinds of things that we can get together [and do] … It’s not like going to Mexico with your girls, which is fun, but something that when you leave, you’ll go like, ‘Oh my gosh, I feel transformed. I feel different,” Kotba said at the time.

“She’s going to earn way more than she did at the Today show,” a source exclusively shared in the latest issue of Us Weekly.

“Now that she’s not full-time at NBC, Hoda’s going to be working with brands and can be paid to endorse them. She also could make several hundred thousand dollars for speaking engagements on subjects like, ‘changing your life at 60,’” the source added.

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ daughter Lola Sheen is opening up about her spiritual journey.

Lola, 19, revealed Wednesday, January 22, that she recently got baptized after turning to Christ amid a difficult period in her life.

“When I was in my deepest depression, there was a moment where I realized I hit rock bottom. I felt so lost and hopeless, and was just doing my best to make it to the next day,” Lola captioned a series of photos of her baptism via Instagram.

“I just accepted my life was going to be like that forever, and thought I would never genuinely laugh again. Until, I met not only my Savior but my best friend, Jesus,” she continued. “I can’t really explain it other than it was supernatural, but Jesus met me exactly where I was, and He forever became my sun. I began to trust Jesus with my life, when He chose me when no one else did, and loved me when I didn’t feel worthy of love. He gave me a light, when I couldn’t find my own, and rescued me from the darkness.”

Lola went on to detail her recent health struggles, including “battling severe anxiety,” and said turning to religion helped her find “peace.”

“I now find myself laughing again, in places I only had cried. Jesus fulfilled His promise of making me new, and completely renewed my mind. Jesus is the only reason why I’m here today and made my life worth living,” she wrote.

Lola added, “I chose to get baptized at the beginning of this year, because I made it through this year only by the strength of Jesus, and I am so happy to go into this next year, after publicly declaring Jesus as my Savior. I am forever saved by His grace, through Faith.”

“I thank you Jesus for everything, I love you, and I hope you are proud of me,” she concluded.

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ Ups and Downs Through the Years

Lola is the youngest of Sheen and Richards’ two daughters. She has an older sister, Sami, 20.

In December, Richards, 53, shared details of her new reality show featuring her daughters — Sami, Lola and adopted daughter Eloise, 13 — and her husband, Aaron Phypers.

“It’s a big glimpse into our family,” Richards told Us Weekly exclusively about her new show, Denise Richards and the Wild Things. “We’re finishing up everything. I’m excited, but I’m also like, ‘Oh my gosh, everyone’s gonna see my family.’”

Richards added that fans shouldn’t expect the new series to be similar to Denise Richards: It’s Complicated, which ran from 2008 to 2009 and when her kids were much younger. Even though Eloise wasn’t born yet when the show originally aired, Richards said she was the “easiest one to film” this time around.

“I’m not perfect and they will see I make mistakes,” Richards continued. “Our family is not perfect by any means, but hopefully they can relate to some things that our family goes through too.”

Julia Fox thinks The Real Housewives of New York City needs a shakeup — and she’s just the person to do it.

The model and actress, 34, revealed Wednesday, January 22, on the Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen After Show that she would join the long-running Bravo franchise. She also wants another famous face to join her.

“You know what, I would do a season and see how it goes,” Fox told host Andy Cohen when he asked if she’d consider joining the cast. “I just need to shake it up a little bit.”

The topic of conversation came up after Fox recommended Cohen — an executive producer on the Real Housewives franchise — cast convicted felon Anna Delvey on the NYC iteration.

Former ‘RHONY’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

“I love her. She’s an icon. She’s funny. She has a very dry sense of humor,” Fox complimented Delvey, 34, before having a sudden brainwave.

“Put her on RHONY!” Fox enthusiastically told Cohen, before adding, “Put me on RHONY!”

The idea went down well with fellow WWHL guest Bronwyn Newport, one of the stars of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. “Chaos! Put both of them, please!” Newport enthused.

The current cast of RHONY comprises Jenna Lyons, Ubah Hassan, Brynn Whitfield, Jessel Taank, Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy and Racquel Chevremont.

Julia Fox's Dating History: Kanye West, Peter Artemiev and More

During the Tuesday, January 21, season 15 finale, Brynn and Ubah got into an explosive fight that threatened to fracture the group. Brynn claimed that she had privately revealed to Ubah she had been sexually assaulted in the past, something Ubah denied knowing about. The majority of their costars supported Ubah and accused Brynn of lying.

“Brynn, I love her, but she kind of lost me this season a little bit,” Fox weighed in on Wednesday’s episode of WWHL. “She’s really kind of demonic a little bit,” she added of the season finale, while Cohen agreed that the episode was “very dark.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone Wednesday, Brynn stood by her version of events. “It’s not right to assume that everyone remembers everything that you say all the time and then hold them accountable for that,” Brynn explained to the publication. “I know for a fact that I said it, but when someone’s screaming into the phone, the other person might not necessarily hear them. … I know what I said and I know that I did say it.”

If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

Carice van Houten is setting the record straight about her relationship with Guy Pearce.

The Game of Thrones actress took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday, January 22, to confirm that she and Pearce, 57, have not been together “for years.” The revelation comes after Pearce recently described ex-wife Kate Mestitz as the “greatest love” of his life.

“I don’t usually engage in discussions about my personal life, but because of a number of conclusions in the media last week regarding my relationship with Guy, I wanted to make something clear,” van Houten, 48, wrote alongside a photo of her and Pearce.

She continued, “He and I are great friends and love each other very much, but we haven’t been a ‘couple’ for years. (Sorry not to mention it earlier.)”

“I am, however, very proud to say we are in a wonderful partnership raising the true love of our lives — our beautiful son and his hamster. The end,” van Houten concluded, referring to the couple’s son, Monte.

In an interview with The Guardian published on Saturday, January 18, Pearce made an admission about his relationship with his ex-wife.

“My ex-wife, Kate, was the greatest love of my life, but I’ve moved on from her now and the greatest love of my life is my child, Monte,” the Brutalist actor said.

While opening up about his “biggest disappointment,” Pearce said he “felt like I messed up my marriage.” He added, “I don’t feel that way anymore, but at the time I was devastated.”

Pearce and Mestitz, 58, met in 1980 when they attended Geelong College in Australia and tied the knot in 1997. In January 2015, the couple shared that they had parted ways.

“Kate and I will always love and support one another and be the best of friends,” Pearce said in a statement at the time. “No one knows me like Kate does, and we’ll forever be appreciative of our mutual respect. We’ve both grown enormously through our relationship, but sadly, the time has come to part ways.”

Pearce moved on with van Houten — best known for playing Game of Thrones’ Melisandre — and the couple welcomed son Monte in 2016. “A cute little package arrived and told us his name’s Monte Pearce. We think we’re gonna keep him. Placenta smoothie anyone?” Pearce wrote via X in 2016, tagging van Houten.

Ryan Reynolds made his first public appearance since It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni’s latest lawsuit against the actor and his wife, Blake Lively.

The Deadpool star took to social media on Wednesday, January 22 to share photos via his Instagram Story of an outing at Harvard Business School. During the event, he and Shark Tank guest star Matt Higgins spoke to the prestigious college’s students.

“If my dad were even remotely alive enough to see me speaking at Harvard Business School, he’d be pretty impressed,” Reynolds, 48, wrote via the caption, referencing his late father,  James Chester Reynolds.

Using his trademark humor, Reynolds then quipped, “More due to his sudden aliveness.But also, what an opportunity to withhold affection AND see your child speak at Harvard.”

Ryan Reynolds All Smiles in NYC Amid Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni Drama

“Thank you [Matt Higgins] for the thoughtful conversation and tee up,” captioned another photo from his Harvard visit. “This class has megawatt talent. The questions alone made me wiser.”

The Marvel star’s speaking event at Harvard comes amid the ongoing It Ends With Us legal battle that sees Reynolds and Lively, 37, up against Baldoni, 40.

Lively sued Baldoni in a December 2024 lawsuit, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment, creating a “hostile work environment” and causing her “severe emotional distress” while working together. (Baldoni has denied all accusations in the lawsuit, which was obtained by Us Weekly.)

Following the news breaking via The New York Times, Baldoni was among 10 plaintiffs who, days later, launched a $250 million lawsuit against the publication for its coverage of Lively’s accusations. (A spokesperson for The New York Times told Us that the outlet is planning to “vigorously defend against the lawsuit.”)

Lively filed a lawsuit that same day against Baldoni in a New York federal court which mirrored her earlier claims — which were filed with the California Civil Rights Department.

Baldoni’s studio filed a new lawsuit on Thursday, January 16 against Lively, Reynolds and Lively’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, seeking damages of $400 million. The lawsuit includes accusations of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and other claims.

Several days later, on Tuesday, January 21, Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, released behind-the-scenes footage from the It Ends With Us set in an attempt to disprove Lively’s side of the story.

In response, Lively and Reynolds filed a letter in court on the same day, asking for a protective order to stop Baldoni’s lawyer from engaging in “improper conduct” such as an alleged “harassing and retaliatory media campaign” against the couple.
