Wynonna Judd is opening up about what life is like raising her granddaughter, Kaliyah.
“I don’t have a computer. I don’t watch television unless it’s planned ‘cause I’m raising my 2 ½-year-old granddaughter,’ Judd, 60, shared on the Thursday, January 30, episode of Today With Jenna & Friends. “I listen to her, so I don’t really do a lot of Instagram.”
While Kaliyah doesn’t tune in to the popular kids’ show Bluey, Judd said her granddaughter is a big fan of the popular children’s entertainer Ms. Rachel. “I’m about to lose my mind,” she joked. “I can’t talk like that. I wish I could be that animated, but I just don’t know how.”
One of Kaliyah’s favorite shows that Judd said she does enjoy is Peppa Pig. “I love Peppa, but we watch all those shows,” she shared. “So, I know all about that, but I don’t know about Severance. So, that tells you where I’m at at [60].”
Judd resides with her granddaughter on her Tennessee farm. “My life on the farm is simple and sweet, which is what we need more of, I think,” she gushed to Today’s Jenna Bush Hager. “We don’t do phones at dinner. … I do what I have to do to learn how to just live off the road ‘cause I was on the road at 17. So, I never got to learn how to do life outside of show business. So, now I’m learning.”
Judd went on to note that her ideal day at home involves cooking and spending time with her loved ones. “Food, family and fun is my goal,” she stated.

Judd shares her son Elijah, 30, and daughter Grace, 28, with her ex-husband Arch Kelley III. Grace gave birth to Kaliyah in April 2022, just days before the death of her grandmother, Naomi Judd.
Judd does not have legal custody of Kaliyah but has taken care of her granddaughter amid Grace’s recent legal troubles. In April 2024, Grace was arrested for indecent exposure for flashing drivers off a highway and was charged with soliciting prostitution, indecent exposure and obstructing governmental operations. Her soliciting prostitution was reportedly dropped, while indecent exposure charge was lowered to public lewdness, according to The Daily News. She was ordered to pay $2000 and spend 60 days in jail.
That August, Grace was arrested on three charges, including attempting to flee police, driving with a suspended or revoked license and not properly operating motorcycle equipment, per court documents obtained by Us Weekly at the time. She was released the following day on a $2,750 bond.
Grace was arrested once again in October 2024 for stealing a church van in Charlottesville, Virginia. According to local news outlet The Daily Progress, Grace pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor crimes after initially being booked on seven charges. Three of the charges were reportedly felonies, including testing positive for heroin.

Judd previously opened up to Us about raising Kaliyah in June 2024, revealing she and her granddaughter “started singing together.” She exclusively shared, “My favorite thing in life is to sit on the porch with her and eat ice cream. She’s in the rocking chair and she [says,] ‘Noni, where are you going? Noni, what are you doing?’”
She continued, “Being with her in those moments [is] where I realized no amount of money can ever make you this happy. I thought it would, but it doesn’t. Lying in the bed with her before bedtime and her putting her nose against mine and me singing to her, and she’s starting to sing back … [it’s] heaven on earth.”
Ant Anstead’s eldest children are clearly mad about their dad’s relationship with Renée Zellweger— and her role in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
Anstead, 45, attended the London premiere of Zellweger’s film on Wednesday, January 29 with daughter Amelie, 21, and son Archie, 18. (The TV personality shares his eldest children with ex-wife Louise Storey, as well as 5-year-old son Hudson with ex-wife Christina Haack.)
“Midweek movie night with the kiddos,” Anstead wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 31. “The movie was absolutely utterly brilliant and the lead actress was mesmerizing and smoking HOT (I have a mega crush on her!) I’ve let the missus know she’s my hall pass.”
Amelie replied in the comments section, writing, “Had the best time! Super proud of Ren !! .”
Zellweger, 55, reprises her famed role as lovelorn Bridget Jones in the fourth film sequel. She walked the red carpet without Anstead on Wednesday, stunning in a pink strapless gown, and posed with costars Hugh Grant and Leo Woodall.
Zellweger started dating Anstead in 2021 after meeting on the set of Discovery+’s Celebrity IOU: Joyride. Since then, she’s also gotten close to all three of his children.

“Renée gets along really well with Ant’s children and they spend a lot of quality time together,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2023. “Despite being in the public eye, Renée and Ant love just hanging out at home with the kids, watching movies and making dinner together. They enjoy a very low-key lifestyle.”
“It’s not like Heather [Rae El Moussa] and I, where we spend a lot of time together,” Haack told Us. “It’s mostly just on the soccer field or at drop-off, but she’s super nice. She loves Hudson, and Hudson loves her. And she and Ant are happy.”
Before Haack and Anstead’s brief romance, she was married to Tarek El Moussa. Together, they share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9. Tarek, 43, is now married to Selling Sunset alum Heather, 37, and they welcomed son Tristan in 2023.
Haack’s bond with both of her ex-husbands improved amid her 2024 divorce from third husband Josh Hall, which is still ongoing.
“[After my divorce], I was dropping Hudson off at Ant’s house, and he gave me a big hug and was like, ‘I’m here for you and I’m so sorry you’re going through this,’” Haack recalled. “He said, ‘I feel like Josh is the source of the problem [and why] I couldn’t communicate.’ Now we’re back on track.”
I may be a beauty expert, but I’ve never been able to confidently apply lip liner. Every time I try, my lips end up looking clownish and harsh rather than full and defined. I couldn’t figure out if this was because of the formulas I was using or if I was just inept at outlining my lips. Turns out it was the former. As soon as I got my hands on Rhode’s new Peptide Lip Shape, I transformed into a modern-day Michelangelo. (Except instead of sculpting marble, I became a pro lip sculptor.)
Technically the Lip Shape isn’t a lip liner — it’s more of a liner-crayon hybrid that feels soft and nourishing like a lipstick. It has a creamier texture than your standard lip liner, which makes it more seamless to apply and blend. The tip, while thin and precise, isn’t pointy, to also enhance the ease of application. The rounded edge glides along the contours of my lips and never leaves any harsh lines — a major upside when completing an over-lined look.
On the off chance my lips end up looking a little too sharp, the silicone smudger on the flip side of the Lip Shape helps me to buff out the edges for a diffused appearance that helps my lips look naturally full. It’s really all in the little details.
You probably wouldn’t wear lip liner and nothing else on your lips. However, because this is a hybrid lippie and infused with skin-enhancing moisturizers, it can certainly be worn on its own. (I now wear it alone all the time!) After outlining my pout, I like to fill in the center for a cohesive, soft-focus finish. In the photos included, I’m wearing the shades Lunge (a rosy beige) and Bend (a soft peachy beige) with nothing on top. If I want a little shine I’ll add some gloss. Otherwise, the peptides in the formula keep my lips soft, supple and comfortable throughout the day.

I want just about every color in the 11-hue lineup, too, and I applaud Hailey Bieber for creating a vast range of shades that will complement all skin tones. She really thought of everything when creating this product!
I never fully understood the hype behind Rhode until I swiped this across my lips. The Lip Shape is so comprehensive to use that if you’ve never picked up a lip liner, you’ll still manage to beautifully define and contour your lips in one go. Now that Bieber’s secret to her enviable lip combos has been revealed, there’s no doubt in my mind that this will go mega-viral. Do yourself a favor and stock up before they inevitably sell out. Your lips will thank you.
Let Us make one thing clear — there’s no pitting these two powerhouses against each other. Both women have broken records and shattered ceilings throughout their careers, and they each dominate at the annual awards show in their own lanes. However, Swift and Beyoncé have frequently gone head-to-head in categories including Album of the Year and Song of the Year, with only one artist capable of coming out on top.
The trend continues with the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 2. Beyoncé earned more nominations than any other artist, racking up 11 nods for her album Cowboy Carter. Already the artist with the most wins in Grammys history, Beyoncé’s 2025 entries bumped her career total to 99 nominations, breaking yet another record.
Swift, for her part, became the first woman to earn seven Album of the Year nods following the release of her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department. She scored an additional five nominations at the 2025 awards, including Song of the Year, marking her eighth time competing in the category.
As Beyoncé and Swift prepare to fill their trophy cases even further, Us is breaking down the duo’s history at the Grammy Awards dating back to 2010. (And once again, there’s no comparison here. Just the facts.)

“Well, the moment that I saw the Aladdin Sane cover for the first time, I was 19 years old, and it just changed my perspective on everything, forever,” she said on NPR in 2016, shortly after her Grammys appearance. “It was an image that changed my life.”
She added: “That was just the beginning of my artistic birth. I started to dress more expressively. I started to go to the library and look through more art books. I took an art history class. I was playing with a band.”
Another star who isn’t afraid to be the talk of the night is Doja Cat, who covered herself in tattoos at the 2024 Grammys. The rapper added even more funk to her look with super arched razor thin brows and a bold red lip.
Scroll down for the most daring Grammys looks over the years:
Arthur Golden’s 1997 book, Memoirs of a Geisha, inspired this look on the pop star, who scooped up three awards at the show, including Best Pop Album for Ray of Light.
“This is all my hair,” she joked of her wig. “At night, if I press a certain button, my hair grow up. I press another button, it activates the color in it.”
Nominated for Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, the newlywed (her then-husband was Russell Brand) wore a custom Armani gown complete with angel wings.
McKee wore her fiery hair down with her crown spun into a wide bun, styled by Alyssa Champion. Makeup artist Lindsey Torres made sure to tie her neon orange eyeshadow to her mane and Alex Perry dress.
The singer reached new heights with her half-up coif, which was twisted into swirls. Her makeup artist, Sean Harris, coordinated her glam to her Miss Claire Sullivan gown, which showed off the perfect amount of skin with a high-low bubble skirt and beaded corset.
Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas and hairstylist Jared Henderson created an edgy look on the singer, who donned razor thin eyebrows, a bold red lip and smokey eyeshadow. Her hair was dyed platinum blonde hair and styled in a neat pixie cut. Doja also made a statement with her faux tattoos, which covered her arms, chest and face.

Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Law Roach, may have just give Us a first glimpse at her wedding shoe.
Roach, 46, snapped a pic of a bridal-esque pair of Christian Louboutin pumps on Thursday, January 31, leaving fans wondering what Zendaya, 28, will wear while tying the knot with Tom Holland.
The white suede shoe, from Zendaya’s collection with the luxury shoe label , featured a steep four-inch stiletto with a curved silhouette and a pointed toe.
“The biggest debate on the internet….. is she or isn’t she?” Roach captioned the post. “The Miss Z! We love you Christian @louboutinworld What do y’all think???”
Fans eagerly shared their excitement in the comments, speculating that the actor, who got engaged to Holland, 28, before the holidays, would walk down the aisle in the Louboutins.
“THIS IS THE WEDDING SHOE????” one follower wrote. A second questioned, “Is that a WEDDING shoe??,” as a third fan commented that it was giving “bridal” vibes. “ please be the wedding shoes,” another begged.

More followers compared the “Miss Z” (which can be preordered on christianlouboutin.com now), looked more comfortable than Zendaya’s usual go-to, the “So Kate” style, (inspired by the inimitable supermodel Kate Moss), which the Dune: Part 2 star has been wearing since she was just 14 years-old.
“The curved heel is everythingggg so much more comfortable than the so Kate’s,” the fan noted.

Along with four-inch stilettos, the “Miss Z” collection also features peep-toe styles, two-inch kitten heels and more. Zendaya’s collection ranges from timeless black patent-leather styles to neon metallic pumps. The election ranges from $1,295 to $895.
According to the official Christian Louboutin site, “Miss Z” embodies “the spirit of the 2020’s” and “sets itself apart with its innovative design.”
“The signature décolleté, slightly elongated toe and elegant curve give it a modern and refined look,” the brand noted. “Its unique sculptural heel, designed to elongate the silhouette, showcases the Maison’s signature red sole from every angle. Thanks to innovative technology, this iconic sole is now ‘Everlasting Red’ and more resistant to daily wear and tear, highlighting the Maison’s expertise.”
As winter continues, so does cold and flu season. Many of Us have seen first hand as our coworkers, friends and family members have come down with stuffy noses, sore throats and even respiratory viruses. Staying up-to-date on wellness checks and getting the necessary vaccines are all helpful ways to dodge wintertime illness. Daily supplements are another tool to keep your immune system in tip-top shape.
The Manukora Superhoney Starter Kit is a great place to start. Rich in antibacterial methylglyoxal, the manuka honey promotes gut health and features micronutrients that help balance inflammation. Ethically sourced from New Zealand, this honey boosts immunity and provides natural energy. Best of all? it’s harvested in a way that prioritizes the care of the bees and their environment.
The one-month supply comes with a 1.1 l jar of raw Manuka honey, five on-the-go packs, a wooden dose spoon and a manuka guidebook. Each starter kit even includes a guide card with instructions to help users participate in a 21-day challenge.
In terms of taste, it has a creamy distinct flavor that makes it a delightful addition whether you take it solo or add it to foods or beverages as a sweetener. For optimal results, take one heaped teaspoon each morning. Manukora recommends taking the honey on an empty stomach to get the most out of the formula. The brand also advises against adding it to boiling water but notes that it’s safe for use with hot water.
Looking to make your health and wellness a priority this year? Start out by adding helpful supplements like this Superhoney to your routine to boost immunity and energy and aid in gut health.

After Bravo dropped the first look at new episodes earlier this week, social media sleuths claimed they recognized Kenya’s silhouette in one frame.
“Not me,” Kenya, 54, responded to the rumors in a Thursday, January 30, X post.
Kenya joined the cast of RHOA in 2012 and held onto a peach for six seasons. Ahead of season 16, Us Weekly confirmed in June 2024 that the Bravo star would be leaving the series. It was rumored that Kenya was suspended indefinitely after allegedly sharing explicit photos of show newcomer Brittany Eady. Kenya denied the claims.
“Nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail,” she wrote via X at the time. “I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news.”
“Thank you for all the support #teamtwirl. My heart is full and my conscience is clean,” Kenya wrote in a June 2024 Instagram post. “So many false claims hiding behind anonymous sources. All this conversation and no facts being reported. If a claim or source was valid, would they need to hide? The rumors and narrative about me randomly showing nudes or revenge p[orn] is 1000% untrue. I have proof and will share soon.”
Months later, Kenya exclusively told Us Weekly how she handled the fallout from the alleged drama.
“I know I’m a tough cookie,” she told Us in November 2024. “I think for me, in the history of me in this whole TV world or reality TV world, I think that what I say always comes to light. The truth always comes to light, and I’m always right. … No one wants to be in a situation where you’re painted in a way that you know isn’t the truth or is rooted in the truth.”
She continued, “No one wants to read awful things about themselves, not be able to speak up and not be able to tell your truth. I’ve learned in my age that I have survived much worse. It’s fun to be able to take anything negative and put it behind you and focus on only things that are positive.”
While the drama is now in Kenya’s rearview mirror, she hasn’t ruled out a potential reality TV return down the line.
“I never say never,” Kenya quipped. “Hell, I never say, ‘I’m not going to have another child.’ Who knows.”
Kenya shares 6-year-old daughter Brooklyn with ex-husband Marc Daly.
Meghan Markle’s best friend Abigail Spencer is weighing in on Netflix’s With Love, Meghan — and teasing what viewers can expect to see.
“What I’m so excited about is that people will really get an authentic look at the woman that I love and know,” Spencer, 43, told People in an interview published on Friday, January 31. “Also, you’re gonna learn a lot.”
Spencer noted that she’s already “learned a lot” from Markle, 43, over the years and that will continue on the forthcoming show. (Their friendship kicked off after Spencer guest starred alongside Markle on Suits.)
“She actually gets to teach me something on the show,” the actress teased. “I’m just so grateful.”
Spencer added that With Love, Meghan is “really from her heart” and was truly made “with love.”

Markle joined Instagram to kick off 2025 and, in the days that followed, announced her new Netflix series. (The upcoming series is the second show Markle and husband Prince Harry have launched as part of their wider deal with Netflix. Their first show, Polo, premiered last month.)
“In each episode, we join Meghan in the kitchen, garden — and even at the beehive — as she prepares to host friends both old and new,” Netflix’s description for the show read. “Whether Meghan is sharing personal tips and tricks, or taking the opportunity to learn something new, it’s a time for connection.”
Netflix also shared that the series shows how Markle, a producer on the show, “reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming” with how-tos and candid conversations with friends.
The show’s trailer, which dropped on January 2, showed Markle in the kitchen alongside some famous friends, including Spencer, Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters and more. And yes, Prince Harry, 40, was also present.
“I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it,” she could be heard saying in a voiceover. “Surprising people with moments that let them know I was thinking of them.”
With Love, Meghan was initially set to premiere all eight episodes on January 15, but the release was pushed nearly two months amid the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
“I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California,” Markle said in a statement shared with Netflix’s Tudum on January 12.
With Love, Meghan is set to premiere via Netflix Tuesday, March 4.

One reviewer in their mid-40s wrote, “my neck elasticity is increasingly becoming a concern of mine.

“It’s been overwhelming,” Hamilton, 66, said through tears during the Friday, January 31, episode of the Today show. “It’s beyond the skating community. So many people see this tragedy and the loss of these brilliant young skaters who have poured their lives into building an identity in our sport. For their lives to be taken … is just devastating [and] shocking. It just doesn’t make any sense.”
He added, “This is where the community comes together. It’s a very tight-knit, very close-knit, very wonderful, caring, supportive community. We’re no stranger to tragedy, but this is just beyond devastation.”
News broke on Wednesday, January 29, that a commercial flight traveling from Wichita, Kansas crashed into Washington, D.C.’s Potomac River after a collision with a military helicopter. The U.S. Figure Skating organization later confirmed that 14 of its young athletes were onboard.
“U.S. Figure Skating can confirm that several members of our skating community were sadly aboard American Airlines Flight 5342, which collided with a helicopter yesterday evening in Washington, D.C.” a statement from the skating organization read on Thursday. “These athletes, coaches and family members were returning home from National Development Camp held in conjunction with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas.”
The statement added, “We are devastated by this unspeakable tragedy and hold the victims’ families closely in our hearts. We will continue to monitor the situation and will release more information as it becomes available.”

The young skaters were joined by parents, coaches and approximately 40 other passengers and four crew members. Among the victims were Skating Club of Boston coaches Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, whom Hamilton met during the 1994 Olympics.
“When you’re in skating, there are no national boundaries,” Hamilton, who won one Olympic gold medal in the sport, recalled of the “wonderful and kind” couple. “We all have a shared experience and we understand what it takes to get to that level. Shishkova and Naumov were amazing champion skaters [who wanted] to build their professional lives in America.”
He continued, “To think that they’re gone. … I can’t wrap my head around the last 36 hours. It’s just been devastating. The loss is just beyond description and my heart is shattered.”
“Max, he’s an extraordinary talent. A few years ago at one of our Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer events, he put on a skin-head wig and skated to ‘Walk This Way’ in tribute to me,” Hamilton said, referring to his cancer battle. “He’s got a great sense of humor. I actually sat with him for a nice visit in Wichita. … It’s just unthinkable what’s happened.”
Lindsay Arnold has shared a major update on her recent breast augmentation.
The former Dancing With the Stars pro, 31, uploaded a before and after video via TikTok on Thursday, January 30. Arnold captioned the clip with a series of monkey emojis with their hands covering their eyes and two happy face emojis.
Arnold also included a series of hashtags in the caption, noting that she was two weeks post-op. Several of Arnold’s former DWTS costars offered her words of encouragement in the comments section.
“They look SOOOO good!!! Babe so natural,” Emma Slater wrote. Ezra Soza commented, “THEY LOOK SO GOOD IM OBSESSED.”
Arnold first shared her plans to get a breast augmentation in December 2024, revealing that it was her Christmas present.
“It’s something I’m very excited about,” she said in a TikTok video at the time. “I know there’s mixed opinions on this type of thing, and so I get it. … If it’s not for you, it’s not for you.”
“I just decided I didn’t want to wait,” she continued. “Obviously, [I] know there are chances I’d maybe need to get a lift later on in life or whatever, but I just don’t want to wait anymore. … We’re just putting [family planning] on pause a bit longer.”
“I can’t believe this is actually happening!” she told followers on January 14, before sharing a “fun fact” from her childhood that was related to her surgery.
“When I was in high school there was a rumor that went around that I got a boob job and that my dad is the one who gave me my boob job,” she recalled. “My dad is not a plastic surgeon.”
Hailey Bieber is no stranger to delivering fashion inspo. Whether she’s posing for beauty campaigns or hitting the town, we can always count on the Rhode Skin founder for emerging trends. Her latest look is chock full of spring inspo — and we found a lookalike for her classic outerwear pick on Amazon!
On January 30, Bieber was spotted strolling through NYC in a rich mom-approved look. She used a cognac brown suede jacket as the perfect pop of color breaking up her barely visible brown sweater, black suit trousers, and matching black loafers. We don’t have the deets on Bieber’s official look, but we can only assume it’s a pricey find. Since we’re on the hunt for finding affordable replicas, we found a lookalike style under $50!
Get the Allegra Moto Jacket for just $43 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, January 31, 2025, but are subject to change.
Slay preppy yet elevate style the Bieber way in the Allegra Moto Jacket. Similar in color and fabric, this Amazon find fits the bill. While Bieber’s original look featured an oversized silhouette, this rich mom-style jacket has a fitted design. Bieber’s OG look has a similar style colloar, but features a zip-down closure.

Grohl, 56, and his fellow surviving Nirvana members, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear, were joined by several celebrity guests during their set at the Thursday, January 30, benefit concert. Filling in for the late Kurt Cobain on vocals were St. Vincent, Kim Gordon and Joan Jett for performances of “Breed,” “School” and “Territorial Pissings.” For their final song, Grohl’s eldest daughter, Violet, 18, took the mic to sing “All Apologies.”
“Violet Grohl, come on down,” Novoselic, 59, said while welcoming Violet on stage. “Hi, L.A.,” Violet, who was dressed in a long-sleeved black mini dress, told the audience before glancing back at her father on the drums.
Violet showed off her vocal chops by singing the 1993 track off Nirvana’s album In Utero, with Grohl joining her on backup vocals. After finishing the song, an emotional Grohl beamed with pride at his daughter and his bandmates.
Grohl shares his Violet, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10, with his wife, Jordyn Blum. Violet is no stranger to performing with her dad, as she previously joined him and the Foo Fighters on stage at the Glastonbury music festival in June 2023. Violet also performed a cover of Adele’s “When We Were Young” with Grohl on guitar at an Oakland, California, benefit concert in May 2018.
Grohl, Violet and Nirvana were among many musical acts who performed at Thursday’s FireAid show, which helped raise money for those affected by the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, which began earlier this month. (Check the LAFD website for local wildfire alerts and click here for resources on how to help those affected.)

The father-daughter performance also comes three months after Grohl revealed he had welcomed his fourth child with another woman. “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” he shared in a September 2024 Instagram post. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”
He added: “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.” In the wake of the news, Violet and Harper deactivated their social media accounts. Violet’s Instagram has since been made public, while Harper’s remains private. Grohl, meanwhile, has not posted on Instagram since his baby announcement.

Jordyn was spotted without her wedding ring shortly after news of the cheating scandal broke. However, she and Grohl reportedly spent the holidays together. “They are all spending Christmas as a family,” a source told People in December 2024. (Us Weekly reached out to Grohl’s rep for comment at the time.”
Violet wished her Instagram followers a “merry christmas x” on Christmas Day by sharing a blurry video of a building lit up in holiday colors.
The duo tied the knot in 2012 and welcomed their first child, son Silas, three years later. In January 2018, the “Rock Your Body” singer admitted he was ready to give his little boy a sibling soon.
“I want to have as many kids as we can, if I’m being honest,” he said during an interview with Beats 1’s Zane Lowe at the time. “I’ve never felt more inept my life. You wake up and all of a sudden there’s this human being you’re responsible for. … I feel like the success of parenthood is feeling like I failed all day today, but I get to wake up tomorrow and do it again … and hopefully they turn out to be a good human being.”
One year earlier, Biel opened up about how becoming a mother changed her perspective on life.
“You think you’re a selfless person, and then you realize you’re not. These little people come around, and they require so much, and your schedule is really not your own, nor is it important anymore, and it’s very clear that it’s your life now revolving around this dude,” she told Marie Claire in July 2017. “I’m not that person who feels like, ‘Oh, my whole life changes for my kid,’ but it does.”
Three years later, singer Brian McKnight confirmed that Timberlake and Biel secretly “had a new baby” after fans noticed that the actress hadn’t shared full-body photos of herself on social media since March. The couple named their son Phineas.

Biel penned a thoughtful tribute to her own mom as she celebrated one of here earlier Mother's Days with son Silas. "I only, just now, understand what you did for me.

"And when I say champagne I mean seltzer water cause mama's gotta do carpool in the am. #momlife."
The family of three was "Trollin'" on Halloween in 2016, dressed as Poppy, Branch and "lil Branch" from Timberlake's animated Dreamworks musical.
"To all the dads out there, including mine, who selflessly give their time and love to their families, I appreciate and salute you," the Sinner actress gushed on Father's Day in 2017. "And to my beloved husband, my adventure companion, my road dog, who works tirelessly for THIS family and gives of himself energetically and spiritually every day, I am eternally grateful for you and your love. As Silas likes to say, 'you are so much cool.' I love you to the moon and back."
Three years after his son's birth, the Social Network star still couldn't get over the blessing of fatherhood. "The last 3 years of my life have brought more joy than I could ever imagine. Being a father is such a trip... an amazing discovery every day," he shared in a lengthy Instagram post in June 2018. "My son: it is my honor to be your Daddy. You make me feel a love that I didn't know existed. ... And to all the Dads out there: Keep on keeping on! Our children are watching and listening more than we know."
On the road! Biel shared an adorable snapshot of Silas imitating his pop star dad in her Father's Day 2018 tribute. "To my husband who I watch with awe every day as he guides and teaches, encourages and supports, and above all, LOVES the sh$t, out of his own young man," she wrote via Instagram. "Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. We can't do this parenting thing without you."
Timberlake didn't let his Man of the Woods tour keep him from sending his wife a little Valentine's Day love. "Valentine’s ALL DAY, EVERY DAY since I found you. ❤️," he captioned an Instagram post in February 2019.
The I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry star gave her two Valentines a simple shout-out in 2019, sharing a photo of Timberlake holding Silas before a big concert. "Love you guys to the 🌙," she wrote.
"This little man is 5 today!!" the Total Recall star wrote in April 2020 alongside a photo of her son slung over her shoulder. "We're at home, covered in legos and birthday cake right now... but I just found this pic on my phone from last summer and it made me so happy."
The "Suit & Tie" singer gushed over his "love" on Mother's Day 2020, two months before news of their second child made headlines. "You continue to keep me in complete awe every day. This family works because of your love and soulfulness," he wrote via Instagram. "You are a dream to share all of this with. Your boys love you!! Happy Mother’s Day, ya 🦊!!"⠀
Timberlake shared photos of himself and Silas visiting Disney World’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in May 2021. “I don’t know who was freaking out more… me or my six year old,” he wrote via Instagram. “This was the coolest. Big thank you to @waltdisneyworld for an amazing trip.”

“Thankful for my guys… Merry Christmas everybody!! 🎁🎄,” the Sinner alum captioned a pair of Instagram snaps in December 2021 while walking with Timberlake and their two sons.
"Thinking of birthdays past and remembering all the amazing ones Justin and I spent solo,” Biel captioned a February 2022 Instagram slideshow. “Now celebrating 40 with [cake] and [balloons] with my other two favorite guys on the planet.”
“There’s no way my life … would exist without the two wonderful nannies that take care of my beautiful kids,” Biel said on The Drew Barrymore Show during a joint appearance with her Candy costar Melanie Lynskey in May 2022. “Thank you to everyone out there who's making everyone else’s life possible outside of the house, we could not do it without the support teams that we have — and we shouldn’t be ashamed to tell the truth about that.”
"To the world, you are a dad. But to your family, you are the world," Biel wrote via Instagram in June 2022 to celebrate Father's Day, sharing a photo of their brood hugging. "I don’t know who said that, but whomever it was, they bodied that s--t. We love you baby. Thank you for being our everything!"
Biel shared new snaps of their sons on Father’s Day in June 2023.
“Major love to all the Daddy’s out there today! And to one, very near and dear to us, who loves us for who we are no matter how many times we interrupt the sports, the sleep, the silence or the sanity,” the actress gushed about Timberlake via Instagram. “We love you and your tender heart more than we can say. Happy Father’s Day, baby!”
In the comments section, the singer called his kids his “greatest gifts.”
In honor of Mother’s Day 2024, Timberlake shared an Instagram montage of Biel and their sons backstage at one of his concerts. Silas and Phineas were each decked out in their dad's The Forget Tomorrow World Tour merch.

Austen Kroll might think he has details on Paige DeSorbo’s dating life, but according to her, that’s not the case.
Austen, 37, appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Thursday, January 30, and addressed rumors that Paige, 32, already moved on with a new guy following her split from Craig Conover.
“I don’t think that those are rumors. I think that they’ve been substantiated, and I think that Craig knows as such,” Austen claimed. “He didn’t know for a minute, but yeah, I think that he’s fully come to terms with that. That’s not a rumor.”
When the clip was shared via the WWHL Instagram page, Paige was quick to clap back.
Paige made headlines on January 12 when she was photographed sitting next to a mystery man at the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Green Bay Packers game. Fans have continued to speculate about the man’s identity and his relationship to Paige following her recent split.
Paige announced on the December 30 episode of the “Giggly Squad” podcast, which she cohosts with Hannah Berner, that she and Craig, 35, ended their three-year relationship.
“Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” she said at the time, noting that there was no drama behind their decision to split.
“I love him, I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” she said at the time. “I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real time and what you want for your future.”
A source told Us Weeklyat the time that Craig was “ready for the next steps and had plans to propose” before he and Paige called it quits. The pair were in a long distance relationship with Paige living in New York and Craig living in Charleston.
“He was really pushing for the next steps and wanted to settle down with her,” the insider added. “Paige does not want to move to Charleston, and logistically it was never going to work out long term. Many of their friends are not shocked at all, but everyone is sad for them.”
Janelle Brown has seemingly turned over a new leaf since her separation from Kody Brown — which means taking shots with BFF Christine Brown is no longer off the table.
In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek at the Sunday, February 2, episode of Sister Wives, Christine, 52, and her husband, David Woolley, take Janelle, 55, to a bar to celebrate their new lives.
Christine tells the bartender they are toasting to “a purchase of property and a purchase of a new home.” (David and Christine recently bought a rental property in Moab, Utah, where they got married in October 2023. Janelle and her daughter Maddie, meanwhile, purchased land in North Carolina to build a flower farm and homes.)
Janelle, however, is totally unsure of how to order, since she confesses, she’s never actually had an alcoholic shot.

When Christine tells David to “make it fun” he decides that the trio should have a “slippery nipple” shot made up of butterscotch and Bailey’s.
“These drinks always have these really crazy names. I’m always like, ‘Who makes up these names?'” Janelle teases during her confessional.
While Christine admits she’s “never had a slippery nipple” she thinks it’s a “great title for a first drink.”
After Janelle confirms she’s “never” taken a shot, Christine confesses, “I’ve done shots with your kids.” (Christine and Janelle each welcomed six children during their respective marriages to Kody, 55. Christine left Kody in November 2021, while Janelle confirmed her own split in December 2022.)
TLC
David, meanwhile, warns Janelle that sipping a shot is a big no-no. “This isn’t a tea for a tea party,” he jokes.
Janelle is visibly worried at the prospect of drinking alcohol in one fell swoop, telling her friends, “What if I can’t keep it down? Oh, my gosh, I’m seriously worried about this.”
Christine doesn’t give Janelle another second to think about the shot, instead she raises her shot glass up and cheers to “new beginnings” and their respective purchases.
“That’s not bad,” Janelle reveals while making a puckered face with her lips. Once the liquid goes down she admits, “That is really yummy.”
Janelle — who Christine said was part of her packaged deal when marrying David — ultimately took her first shot experience in stride.
“I didn’t know what to expect because you always see people on the TV, and they shoot it and then they cough,” Janelle tells the cameras.
She reveals that David “took it easy” on her when choosing the slippery nipple since it “had a lot of sugar” in it. “Yes, it burned, but it was pretty sweet,” Janelle concludes.

Figure skater Spencer Lane’s father, Douglas Lane, is remembering the 16-year-old following his death in the recent American Airlines crash.
“Whether he was in his home club in Boston, [Spencer] was just loved by everyone,” Douglas told local Rhode Island news outlet WPRI 12 on Thursday, January 30. “From adults running the club to smaller skaters, to the people that are competing for a shot at the Olympics, they all adored him.”
Douglas and his wife, Christine Lane, adopted sons Spencer and Milo from South Korea. In high school, Spencer found a passion for figure skating. He attended the U.S. Figure Skating team’s development camp in Wichita, Kansas, earlier this month. Christine accompanied Spencer to the program before they both died in the Wednesday, January 29, plane crash.
“About four years ago, Spencer saw Nathan Chen in the Olympics and decided, ‘Hey, I could do that,’ even though people train since they’re a small child and [it] takes them years and years to get skills,” Douglas tearfully recalled. “He started and learned to skate and three years later, he’s in Wichita, Kansas on the National Development Team with U.S. Figure Skating training with former world champions. He was just a phenom and just loved it.”
According to Douglas, his eldest son had “natural talent” but still “worked every day” to improve his skills on the ice. Spencer was a member of the Skating Club of Boston, which had five other students on the American Airlines flight. (The commercial aircraft collided with a military helicopter and crash-landed in the Potomac River. There are no presumed survivors.)
“He went up to Boston every day, did high school online and was just all-in on figure skating and was great at it,” Douglas said. “His coaches were also on the flight with him. [They] were wonderful world champions from Russia and some other skaters. It’s just devastating.”
Spencer was one of Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov’s students. The married couple previously competed at the 1994 Olympics against Nancy Kerrigan, who visited the Skating Club of Boston on Thursday to pay her respects.
“I’ve seen [Evgenia and Vadim] a lot of times over the years, but everything I’ve heard of them was maybe they’re a little tough, but with a smile on their faces,” Kerrigan, 55, recalled in a press conference. “Any time I walked [into a room], it was, ‘Oh, hi, it’s so good to see you,’ and [they were] welcoming and happy to see one another. To walk into here and not see that, I think would be very strange for anyone that comes here day in and day out.”
Figure skating coach Natalya Gudin is mourning the death of her husband, Alexandr Kirsanov, and their students after the American Airlines plane crash.
“I lost everything. I lost my husband. I lost my students. I lost my friends,” Gudin told ABC News on Thursday, January 30.
Kirsanov, who coached young skaters in Delaware alongside his wife, accompanied two students to the U.S. Figure Skating’s development camp in Wichita, Kansas, earlier this month. Their flight home on Wednesday, January 29, collided with a military helicopter and crash-landed in the Potomac River.
“We are husband and wife,” she told the outlet. “We decided who’s going, who’s staying home. We decided he would go to the development camp.”
According to Gudin, she last spoke to Kirsanov before he boarded the aircraft with the young athletes. Kirsanov had told Gudin on the phone, “It’s time for boarding,” and was due to call her back when the flight landed at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Virginia.

After the plane crashed, Gudin never got a phone call from her husband. She learned of the incident from another parent whose child was on the flight and “immediately” wanted to go to D.C. Gudin told ABC News that she was waiting for additional information about Kirsanov’s remains.
“I need my husband back. I need his body back,” she stated.
At least 14 figure skaters were onboard the aircraft, which also serviced approximately 46 other passengers and four crew members.
“U.S. Figure Skating can confirm that several members of our skating community were sadly aboard American Airlines Flight 5342, which collided with a helicopter yesterday evening in Washington, D.C.” a statement from the skating organization read on Thursday. “These athletes, coaches and family members were returning home from National Development Camp held in conjunction with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas.”

The statement continued, “We are devastated by this unspeakable tragedy and hold the victims’ families closely in our hearts. We will continue to monitor the situation and will release more information as it becomes available.”
The students traveling with Kirsanov were named Sean Kay and Angela Yang, according to Delaware Senator Chris Coons.
“I’m devastated to hear the news that at least three Delawareans died during last night’s air collision. Sasha Kirsanov, Sean Kay and Angela Yang went to Wichita to pursue their passion for figure skating,” Coons said in a statement. “It is a tragedy that none of them returned home to our state. Delaware is a state of neighbors, and tonight we hold all of our neighbors a little closer. My heart goes out to Sasha’s wife Natalya, the University of Delaware Figure Skating Club and every other Delawarean touched by the three of them.”
