Kanye West‘s wife, Bianca Censori, received public support from her sister after she wore a daring, a completely sheer gown at the 2025 Grammys.
Bianca’s sister, Angelina Censori, reshared an Instagram video on Sunday, February 2, which showed the model and West posing at the event. Angelina specifically reposted footage of Bianca, 30, removing her fur coat on the red carpet to show off her see-through dress.
Angelina also commented on West’s since-deleted post about the outing with a fire emoji. The social media support came after West, 47, and Bianca made headlines for their wild entrance; multiple outlets later reported that the pair left before the event even began.
A source confirmed to Us Weekly that West and Censori departed “on their own accord” right after posing for photos, with the insider adding, “They just got in their car and left.” West and Censori’s exit from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles didn’t appear to be related to their attempt to replicate the cover of West’s Vultures album.
The couple stepped out later on Sunday night at a post-Grammys afterparty where they put on a PDA-filled display. While Bianca had an outfit change, she still left little to the imagination in a black mesh bodysuit.
West and Censori started dating after she started working for his clothing company Yeezy. They took their romance public in January 2023 two months after West finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian. (West, who was in a lengthy legal battle with Kardashian, 44, after the end of their six-year marriage, shares daughters North, 11, and Chicago, 6, and sons Saint, 8, and Psalm, 5, with his ex-wife.)
Us confirmed that same month that West and Censori previously had “a small marriage ceremony.” At the time, a second source teased West and Censori’s strong bond, telling Us, “Things couldn’t be better for Kanye and Bianca and they’re doing amazing. Kanye feels like he finally met someone who truly gets him and loves him for the person he is.”
The insider added: “Bianca complements Kanye on so many levels and he loves that they can work and collaborate together on projects. He appreciates and respects her opinions, even if they don’t always agree. She really keeps him grounded and he’s feeling better than ever.”
More recently, West and Censori sparked speculation that they were headed for a divorce.
“Their relationship is definitely rocky,” another insider shared with Us in October 2024 about how the duo is “working through” their issues. “Bianca knew what she was getting herself into when marrying Kanye, but, as months went on, the lifestyle took a toll on her.”
Green, 51, reposted an image to his Instagram Story on Sunday, February 2, that claimed MGK, 34, “calls out” a narrative about his relationship with Fox, 38.
“Bro. Just be honest for once in your life,” Green wrote. “Stop caring so much about how you’re perceived that you will try and drag other people.”
Alongside the message, Green paired the upload with Kelly’s track “Don’t Let Me Go.”
Before Fox pursued a relationship with MGK, she was married to Green from 2010 to 2021. The exes share sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8. (MGK is also dad to 15-year-old daughter Casie, whom he welcomed in a previous relationship.)
News broke in December 2024 that Fox and MGK (real name Colson Baker) called it quits one month before. The duo, who got engaged in 2022, shared in November 2024 that they were expecting their rainbow baby. (Fox previously shared that she suffered a miscarriage.)
Green, for his part, called it “a shame” that Fox and MGK were navigating a breakup during her pregnancy. “I’m heartbroken about it,” he told TMZ in December 2024. “Because I know she’s been so excited and the kids are so excited for life and the change and all of that.”
Green noted that the events are “a tragic situation” and that he “wouldn’t wish that on anybody.” He added, “I hope that the best outcome that could possibly happen happens for her and for the baby and for our kids.”
Green and his fiancée, Sharna Burgess, have been supportive of Fox amid her pregnancy. The former Dancing With the Stars pro, 39, reshared Fox’s pregnancy announcement via social media in November 2024.
“Welcome little one, we are all so excited to meet you,” Burgess, who shares 2-year-old son Zane with Green, wrote via her Instagram Story at the time. “Congratulations Mama.”
Following Fox and MGK’s announcement, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that their relationship has been full of ups and downs.
“Megan and MGK have broken up several times since the pregnancy was announced. This was just one of the bigger ones that people have heard about,” an insider told Us in December 2024. “Their relationship is so full of passion and that leads them to get back together over and over, but also to fight in the most toxic of ways.”
The source shared that the former couple’s arguments “have gotten less intense” since MGK is sober. However, the pair continue to have a “hard time” maintaining a “stable relationship.”
Even Nick Offerman is impressed by Ron Swanson’s amusing one-liners.
In an interview with Us Weekly, Offerman, 54, dished on his favorite moment featuring his beloved Parks and Recreation character. “One that always springs to mind [is] food-related,” the actor shared while discussing his new Pringles campaign. “We were at a bowling alley and there was a bulletin board with plastic letters [next to] a concession window, and it said something like, ‘Hot Dog, 85 cents, Hamburger, $1.15’ and I say, ‘This is my favorite restaurant in Pawnee.’”
“Rashida [Jones, who played Ann Perkins] says, ‘Aren’t you afraid to eat there?’ and I say, ‘When I eat, it’s the food that is scared,’” Offerman told Us, noting that a “great” Parks and Recreation writer Dan Gore came up with the line. “I remember the imitable smell of a bowling alley, and the red and blue leather shoes.”
The series’ fourth season episode, titled “Bowling for Votes,” features Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) recruiting her staff to join her for a fun night of bowling after she’s told by a local resident that he wouldn’t vote for her to be on the city council because she doesn’t look like someone he could go bowling with.
The NBC sitcom — which premiered in 2009 and aired for seven seasons — starred Offerman, Jones, Poehler, Aziz Ansari (Tom Haverford), Adam Scott (Ben Wyatt), Chris Pratt (Andy Dwyer), Aubrey Plaza (April Ludgate), Rob Lowe (Chris Traeger), Retta (Donna Meagle) and Jim O’Heir (Jerry Gergich) as the team overseeing the fictional Pawnee’s Parks and Recreation department.
Despite the series ending in 2015, Offerman’s character has gained a cult following. Ron Swanson has become revered for his deadpan personality, love of meat and, of course, his iconic mustache, which has become the Last of Us actor’s signature look.
“Over the years, I’ve been really lucky to get certain gigs simply because they like my mustache,” he told Us. “I could be any jackass where they’re like, ‘Can you come to this job and bring that mustache? because that’s all we really care about.”
The facial hair came in handy for Pringles’ Super Bowl campaign, “Call of the Mustaches,” which features Offerman, Adam Brody, James Harden and Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid starring in a hilarious commercial.
“There’s a bit of a snacking emergency, and Mr. Pringles — who insists that we call him Mr. P around the set — sort of sends out a clarion call and some of the great mustaches of the world come to answer the snacking emergency,” Offerman explained, joking that fellow ‘stache enthusiast Sam Elliot held a bootcamp for those featured in the Big Game spot.
“I never would’ve imagined that my mustache could do some of the things they got it to do,” Offerman added. “To be counted in this sort of Mount Rushmore of snacking mustaches makes me incredibly grateful.”
Let’s face it: We’re all chasing the fountain of youth. This is a main reason that the markets for anti-aging serums, plastic surgeries, ten-step skincare routines and rigid diets are so popular. Seeing how certain celebrities like Gisele Bundchen and Jennifer Aniston defy aging, however, can be a source of inspiration. With the right diet, skincare regimen and outfit choices, you too can hop on the bandwagon of women who seem to age in reverse!
If you have your nutrition and skincare routines dialed in, the last piece of the puzzle is having the proper wardrobe. Certain pieces can make you look either 20 years older or 20 years younger, so it’s key to find ones that do the latter!

Grosse Pointe Garden Society is filling our craving for murder, mystery, a star-studded cast — all set against a flowery backdrop.
In the official trailer, which Us Weekly can exclusively debut, the upcoming NBC introduces an unlikely friend group that has to cover up the fact that they killed someone.
“I can’t believe we are burying a body,” Melissa Fumero‘s character, Birdie, says before another scene shows her confession to Officer Joel (Matthew Davis), “My friends and I sort of murdered someone.”
The show features a voiceover from AnnaSophia Robb‘s Alice, who sets the scene for the crime. “People are like the flowers they plant. Some flowers are wild and without boundaries,” she notes. “We all may look perfect on the surface.”
Grosse Pointe Garden Society, however, is determined to pull back the curtain on everyone’s secrets. While Alice reveals that one of her students “threatened” her, Birdie wonders if the people in her life “hate” her. Aja Naomi King‘s character, Catherine, admits her life is a “mess” because she’s “cheating” on her husband. As for Ben Rappaport‘s Brett? He questions why his ex left him for another man.
“People always think they can get away with it,” Birdie says. “Maybe they shouldn’t.”
According to the synopsis, Grosse Pointe Garden Societyfollows four members of a suburban garden club “who find their lives intertwined by scandal, mischief and a shared secret — a murder no one wants to talk about.” As the dark truths “begin to rot their lives under the surface, they struggle to remain as perfect as the flowers blooming in their garden above.”
The first look at the show doesn’t reveal who gets killed but it becomes obvious that their identity won’t stay hidden for long. The friend group appears to be primarily at odds with newcomer Birdie.
“I don’t think she gets the first rule of garden club,” Brett suggests after Birdie runs to the police station while Alice adds, “She would 100 percent turn us in.”
Birdie, for her part, appears determined to help the group bury their secrets. “Every garden has unwanted guests,” she teases. “And when that happens, there’s only one thing left to do. Burn it all down.”
In addition to Fumero, King, Rappaport and Robb, Grosse Pointe Garden Society stars Alexander Hodge, Nancy Travis, Matthew Davis and Felix Wolfe. Before the show’s premiere, Fumero spoke to Us about finding herself drawn to spookier projects.
“They just happen to come up for me,” she shared after her darker arc on Peacock’s Based on a True Story. “So something about me screams mystery. But I’ll take it. It’s a genre that I enjoy and I’m not complaining.”
Fumero isn’t the only one commanding the murder genre. King rose to stardom for her lead role in ABC’s How to Get Away With Murder.
Grosse Pointe Garden Society premieres on NBC Sunday, February 23, at 10 p.m. ET and new episodes are available to stream on Peacock the next day.
Are you on the hunt for a way to spruce up your wardrobe amid winter’s frosty weather? Look to Sydney Sweeney for outfit inspo. The Anyone But You star showed Us just how much layering can transform a look during a recent appearance in New York City.
The weather may have been cold and dreary during Sweeney’s stroll through Midtown on January 20, but she was dressed to impress. The actor decided on a dreamy yet elevated look, layering a wool herringbone military jacket with a dainty mesh blouse, frilly sleeves, and wide-leg jeans. To top her ensemble off, Sweeney accessorized with an iconic Chloé belt and a leather hobo bag.
The look was an all-around slay, but we’re living for Sweeney defying the cold with a mesh shirt. All it took was one glance and it inspired Us to kick off a search for similar styles on Amazon.
Get the Wilholl Sheer Mesh Top for just $15 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, February 3, 2025, but are subject to change.
Recreate Sweeney’s style mash-up with the Wilholl Mesh Shirt. Delivering a similar style as Sweeney’s, the top is made with a see-through fabric and features fun details along the sleeves. While the actor’s style offered lively ruffles, this lookalike has more subtle pleats.
It comes in a slew of shades, including Sweney’s white style. However, you can snag it in a variety of other colors, ranging from red to apricot in fun prints and textures. You can even snag the polka dot style in black and white. Shoppers advise that this top runs a little small, so be sure to order a size up for a more comfortable fit.
There’s no denying it. This top delivers versatility to any ensemble. You can opt for an elevated look like Sweeney styling it with an oversized blazer and jeans. However, you can dress it down with flowy trousers and sneakers. Heading to a romantic date night? It pairs well with mini skirts, leather pants and heels.
A rising trend among Amazon shoppers, this blouse has over 470 ratings, with detailed descriptions documenting the size and fit. “This shirt is so adorable! It’s exactly like the picture. I love it for layering, it adds a little extra flair to outwear,” one five-star customer shared before advising other shoppers to “be careful” when wearing it because “it seems like it’d rip easily.”
“I love this,” another reviewer raved. “It is not itchy and goes so well with my sweaters and t-shirts!”
Who says fashion has to be boring because the weather is ultra cold and wet? Take a page from Sydney Sweeney’s style book and use a mesh shirt as a layering basic to stay warm and chic!

Drake has yet to address Kendrick Lamar winning big at the 2025 Grammys with a diss track from their feud — but his dad had plenty to say.
During the Sunday, February 2, awards show, Lamar, 37, won Song of the Year and Record of the Year for his “Not Like Us” song, which took aim at Drake, 38. Dennis Graham was asked his reaction to Lamar’s win, telling TikTok user Joy of Everything, “I don’t care enough about that s—.”
Graham, 70, continued: “That ain’t got nothing to do with me. All the best to him, man. I don’t do that bulls—.”
Drake and Lamar’s feud has been years in the making. After initially starting out on good terms, Lamar took aim at Drake in a verse on Big Sean’s 2013 song “Control.”
“I didn’t really have anything to say about it,” Drake told Billboard at the time. “It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me. That’s all it was. I know good and well that Kendrick’s not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic.”
The back-and-forth continued for over a decade. Despite largely keeping their commentary to their music, Drake has made some rare comments about where he thought he stood with Lamar.
“I have no ill feelings toward that guy,” he told Vibe in December 2013. “It’s just like, it’s there for me if I wanna fall for it. I’m just too smart for that. … We haven’t seen each other [since the BET cypher], but I’m sure we’ll see each other and it’ll be cool. And if it’s not, then I guess that’s how our story unfolds.”
More recently, Lamar made headlines when he dropped “Meet the Grahams” in April 2024, which claimed Drake has a secret daughter, while “Not Like Us” accused Drake of pedophilia. Drake denied the allegations with “The Heart Part 6,” which was released one month later.
“We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information / A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it / We thought about giving a fake name or a destination / But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation,” he rapped.
Drake subsequently filed numerous legal complaints, including one in November 2024 alleging that Lamar’s record label, Universal Music Group (which is also his own record label), conspired to “artificially inflate” the popularity of “Not Like Us.”
UMG vehemently denied Drake’s claims in a statement, telling Billboard: “The suggestion that UMG would do anything to undermine any of its artists is offensive and untrue. We employ the highest ethical practices in our marketing and promotional campaigns. No amount of contrived and absurd legal arguments in this pre-action submission can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear.”
Last month, Drake filed a federal lawsuit accusing UMG of defamation, claiming the label spread a “false and malicious narrative” when it promoted Lamar’s song. UMG slammed the suit in a statement, telling Us Weekly that Drake’s allegations are “untrue” and “illogical.”
The statement continued: “We have not and do not engage in defamation — against any individual. At the same time, we will vigorously defend this litigation to protect our people and our reputation, as well as any artist who might directly or indirectly become a frivolous litigation target for having done nothing more than write a song.”
The 2025 Grammys was a star-studded evening, but some notable names skipped out on this year’s awards show.
Despite being up for three awards — Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Dance Pop Recording — Ariana Grande was a no-show during music’s biggest night. This marked the fifth year in a row that the singer decided not to attend the awards ceremony.
Grande previously took home two Grammys, winning Best Pop Vocal Album for Sweetener in 2019 and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her “Rain on Me” collaboration with Lady Gaga in 2021. She did not take home any awards during Sunday’s ceremony for her work on her LP Eternal Sunshine.
Keep scrolling to see which other stars decided to skip out on the 2025 Grammys:
Ariana Grande
While Grande’s Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo was present — and even performed — at the Grammys she decided to sit this one out. It’s unclear why the singer did not attend, as she did not publicly address the absence.
The singer was up for Best Música Urbana Album for his Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana album. (He lost to Residente’s Las Letras Ya No Importan.) While he hasn’t spoken about his absence from the Grammys, Bad Bunny did post a stunning video of a body of water which appeared to be recorded from a boat. It seems he simply wasn’t in the area.
Chris Stapleton
The celebrated country crooner racked up two nominations at the 2025 Grammys and took home the award for Best Country Solo Performance. Despite the win, Stapleton was not in attendance. It’s unknown why, as he’s not set to continue a tour in Australia until later this month.
Post Malone
Post might have performed at a pre-Grammys party the night before the ceremony, but he skipped out on the actual awards show despite having six nominations for his solo work and collaborations with both Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.
Jelly Roll
The singer is currently on his Beautifully Broken tour, which may explain his absence from the Grammys despite having two nominations.
With no new music under his belt, Bieber’s absence wasn’t a huge surprise. However, fans still love to see him when they can. It seemed that Bieber and wife, Hailey Bieber, were on the East Coast with their infant son Jack, so the Grammys weren’t on their priority list.
Dua Lipa
Her Radical Optimism album didn’t get nominated at this year’s awards show, so former Best New Artist winner Lipa’s absence isn’t a huge surprise. She’s also gearing up for her tour of the same name.
Selena Gomez
Similarly, Gomez didn’t have any new solo music this year, but she has been slaying the awards show circuit as of late for her acting in Emilia Perez and Only Murders in the Building, so there could have been a surprise appearance. Fans will surely be seeing Gomez at the Oscars in coming weeks.
André 3000
He was up for Album of the Year but pulled out of the Grammys last minute.
“Unfortunately, I’m not able to attend the Grammys tomorrow but some of the New Blue Sun musicians, friends and supporters will be in attendance,” he shared in an Instagram statement on Saturday, February 1. “Our album was conceived and recorded in Los Angeles with the spirit of openness and creative collaboration.”
The statement continued, “We hope that the rebound of Los Angeles is swift and renewing. Congrats to all the musicians and collaborators being acknowledged. Keep playing.”

Swift, 35, continued her trend of dancing at awards shows by partying it up during several performances at the Sunday, February 2, awards show. She took the energy to the next level when Charli XCX stepped out on stage, grabbing a bottle of champagne and swiping an accessory from her producer and pal Jack Antonoff.
“Taylor wearing Jack’s glasses while dancing at the GRAMMYS!” an X account captioned a clip of Swift jumping up and down next to Antonoff’s wife, Margaret Qualley, who was also out of her seat and dancing.
A second fan pointed out how Swift and Qualley’s behavior differed from other attendees around them. “She is so unbothered while everyone is having stan wars,” the X user wrote alongside another angle of the moment.
In addition to sporting Antonoff’s specs, Swift slipped on a black blazer with sequin trim over her sparkling red mini dress by Vivienne Westwood. Her monochromatic look was complete with matching red jewels and heels.
Swifites quickly made connections between the “Fortnight” singer’s ensemble and her relationship with Travis Kelce, noting that she sported Kansas City Chiefs red one week before the team’s Super Bowl appearance. Swift had a letter T charm attached to a chain on her dress skirt, which some fans interpreted as a nod to Kelce, 35, while others wondered whether Swift was hinting at another rerecorded Taylor’s Version of one of her albums. (Kelce did not join his girlfriend at the Grammys.)

Swift’s fun night out wasn’t dampened by her not taking home any awards. She was nominated in a total of six categories including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Music Video for The Tortured Poets Department and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her and Gracie Abrams’ collab “Us.”
Swift’s champagne dancing was not her only viral moment from the night. At the top of the show, she shared her chair with Cynthia Erivo, who was unable to find her own seat. In one X video, Swift was seen hilariously recreating Erivo, 38, and Ariana Grande’s iconic “holding space” meme from the Wicked press tour by grabbing one of Erivo’s fingers.
In pics from inside the event, Swift was spotted catching up with friends such as Sabrina Carpenter and chatting with Beyoncé’s eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, 13. Swift presented Beyoncé, 43, with the Grammy for Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter, which also earned Beyoncé her first-ever Grammy for Album of the Year.
Swift is expected to follow up her Grammys appearance by watching Kelce and the Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles at the Super Bowl on February 9. Swift’s former “Bad Blood” collaborator Kendrick Lamar will headline the halftime show with special guest SZA.
Beyoncé made sure to find the time to thank younger daughter Rumi after winning big at the 2025 Grammys.
The singer, 43, offered her 6-year-old a sweet shout-out on Sunday, February 2, telling Entertainment Tonight, “Rumi, who’s on the album, our youngest daughter, she’s at home watching and I forgot to thank her so I get to thank her now, thank you Rumi.”
Beyoncé was thrilled that her and Jay-Z’s older child, 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, was there to celebrate her big night. (The couple, who have been married since 2008, also share Rumi’s twin brother Sir, 7.)
“She’s taller than me, I don’t like it at all,” Beyoncé joked. “I’m so happy she was here.”
The awards show on Sunday was a big night for Beyoncé, who took home the trophies for Best Country Album, Album of the Year and Best Country Duo/Group Performance. (Rumi, for her part, made her recording debut on the “Protector” track from the Cowboy Carter album.)
“I really was not expecting this. I want to thank God that I’m able to still do what I love after so many years. I’d like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album, we worked so hard on it,” she said after Taylor Swift gave her the award for Best Country Album. “I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about, and to say, stay persistent.”
Beyoncé’s transition into country music hasn’t been without its challenges. After releasing Cowboy Carter in March 2024, Beyoncé reflected on her experience entering the country music genre as a Black woman.
“I feel honored to be the first Black woman with the number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart,” she wrote via Instagram . “That would not have happened without the outpouring of support from each and every one of you. My hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist’s race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant.”
Cowboy Carter debuted to critical and fan praise but some award shows — specifically the CMAs — caught backlash for snubbing Beyoncé’s music. Beyoncé has not yet addressed her country album receiving zero nods at the CMAs but her father, Mathew Knowles, had plenty to say.
“There’s more white people in America and unfortunately they don’t vote based on ability and achievements,” he explained to TMZ in September 2024. “It’s still sometimes a white and Black thing.”
Knowles, 73, said the snub “speaks for itself,” adding, “In America, there’s no accountability for people not being accepting of other cultures.”
Kanye West and Bianca Censori might have ditched the 2025 Grammys but that didn’t stop them from stepping out for the afterparty — where they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
A photo obtained by Us Weekly on Monday, February 3, revealed that Censori, 30, had an outfit change, but kept the night’s nearly naked theme as she stepped out in a black mesh bodysuit that left little to the imagination (although we had already seen it all earlier that same evening). Separate images published by the Daily Mail on Monday showed the couple making out while attending a post-Grammys soiree on Sunday, February 2.
West, 47, was all over Censori, according to the images. He continuously has his arms wrapped around her waist while they danced together. At one point, the rapper’s hands even traveled to his wife’s backside, which was completely bare in her outfit.
Censori made headlines on Sunday, when she arrived at the Crypto.com Arena wearing a giant fur coat. She took the jacket off while posing for photos, revealing a completely sheer dress that left her naked on the red carpet. West, meanwhile, posed next to her in black T-shirt and black pants. The pair held hands as they walked away from the cameras. The look was reportedly to recreate his Vultures album cover. (At Sunday’s show, West’s “Carnival” was nominated in the “Best Rap Song” at the 2025 Grammys, but he lost to Kendrick Lamar, who took home the award for “Not Like Us.”)
Shortly after their jaw-dropping Grammys appearance, the couple decided to leave the awards ceremony — before the show even started. A photo obtained by the Daily Mail on Sunday showed them getting into West’s car.
Despite reports that they were escorted out, a source confirmed to Us Weekly shortly after that West and Censori left “on their own accord” after walking the red carpet. “They just got in their car and left,” the insider said.
Censori continued to make waves on Sunday, even though she wasn’t in the Grammys crowd. She made a return to Instagram after walking the red carpet, and offered a closer look at her outfit (or lack thereof).
Two posts have since been uploaded to Censori’s newly reactivated Instagram. The first shows her revealing her naked dress on last night’s red carpet. The second post is a collection of polaroid photos of her outfit. West — who is the only person Censori follows on Instagram so far — is featured in some of the images.
West and Censori have been romantically linked since January 2023 and Us confirmed that same month they previously held “a small marriage ceremony.” News of West’s nuptials came two months after he and Kim Kardashian — who share kids North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5 — finalized their divorce following a six-year marriage.
“He rose up as quickly as he burned down,” Amanda, 33, exclusively told Us Weekly of Jesse, 29, who fans will see flirt with Ciara Miller while also pursuing a romance with newbie Lexi Wood when the show premieres on Wednesday, February 12.
Kyle, 42, explained that Jesse is a “goofball” and a “big flirt,” but things get out of hand this season.
“On one hand, he doesn’t mean any harm, but on the other hand, if you’re pursuing someone, you’re going to get yourself in a whole bunch of hot water,” Kyle teased during a joint interview with his wife, Amanda.
Amanda revealed that although she and Kyle “were trying to help guide” Jesse during summer 2024, he didn’t exactly heed their warnings.
“Ultimately Jesse just had to learn from his own mistakes. He had to learn by doing and he had to figure it out for himself and realize that we are always right,” Amanda said with a laugh. “And by we, I mean me, Paige [DeSorbo], Ciara and Lindsay [Hubbard]. The advice we were giving, he should listen to us.”
She noted that Lexi, who is a self-described “lover girl,” gave “110 percent from day one” as did Jesse.
However, Amanda pointed out that Jesse “watched” his bestie West Wilson crash and burn during season 8 with a Hamptons house romance so he should’ve known better.
“[I was like], ‘Have you talked to him at all?’ This is the path you’re going down right now,” Amanda said of Jesse not learning from West’s mistakes.
During season 8, West, 30, sparked a romance with Ciara, 29, and the two were hot and heavy quickly. When their relationship ended in December 2023, Ciara claimed that West played “games” with her, which he apologized for during the season 8 reunion.
This season, Kyle and Amanda said that West was not his usual self — but played coy as to whether it was a “redemption summer” for the reality star.
“I kind of felt bad just because he was a little stifled and muted just because I feel like he was like, ‘I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t,’” Kyle told Us of West.
Amanda, meanwhile, said that she “supports Ciara’s feelings” about West but confessed that the internet was “really hard on him.”
“Everyone was like, ‘West is the best’ [and] the No. 1 guy. [Then] It’s like, ‘Screw West,’” Amanda recalled of the fallout.
Kyle explained that after West made a “big splash” on his debut season and had fans “rooting” for him and Ciara, their split didn’t sit well with many viewers.
Looking back on summer 2024, which is the focus of the upcoming season, Amanda said “Jesse had a messier summer” than West.
In fact, she teased that Jesse and Lexi will most likely have the most to “discuss” at the future reunion.
“Even as a friend who’s literally watching their relationship kind of evolve in the first person. I was still confused,” Kyle confessed. “I feel like they’re probably going to get a little bit of confusion as to the ups and downs and confessionals will factor in. The internet will factor in.”
Summer House premieres on Bravo Wednesday, February 12, at 9 p.m. ET.
Miley, 32, and Beyoncé received the Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for their Cowboy Carter collab, “II Most Wanted,” on Sunday, February 2. Billy Ray, 63, was quick to celebrate his daughter via social media.
“Congratulations @mileycyrus and @beyonce on their well-deserved @recordingacademy Grammy wins! Couldn’t be prouder!!! ,” he captioned an Instagram post on Sunday, tagging the Recording Academy.
Miley — who won her first two Grammys in 2024 — attended the ceremony on Sunday with her mom, Tish Cyrus, and boyfriend Maxx Morando. She stunned on the red carpet in a custom leather Saint Laurent dress with skin-baring cutouts and turned heads with an edgy new ‘do. When she stepped out onto the Grammys stage to present the Record of the Year category, Miley rocked a black Maison Alaia gown with a plunging neckline.
The awards show appearance comes weeks after Trace Cyrus expressed concerns for Billy Ray in an emotional Instagram message. “Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away. … 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,” Trace, 35, claimed on January 22, adding that his sister Noah Cyrus “still idolizes” their father.
Trace noted that his plea came “from a place of love,” adding, “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.”
Billy Ray has yet to directly address Trace’s claims, which made headlines shortly after the “Achy Breaky Heart” artist’s performance at President Donald Trump‘s inauguration. Trace’s brother Braison Cyrus, however, insisted via his Instagram Story on January 24 that Billy Ray is “happy” and “healthy” following a previous hospitalization.
Trace went on to allege that his father was seeking “legal action” against him for publicly voicing his concerns. Billy Ray subsequently shared a cryptic message to his loved ones.
“Sunday callin. Giving thanks for the California Rain,” he wrote via YouTube Shorts on January 26. “Praying for the brokenhearted and their pain. Praying for my family. For my children … sons and daughters…and their mother. Let this moment be the start of healing for us all. ‘The past does not equal the future.’ Amen .”
Billy Ray and Tish, 57, were married from 1992 to 2022. The former couple welcomed Miley, Braison and Noah, 25, before calling it quits. Billy Ray adopted Tish’s eldest children, Brandi and Trace, and shares son Christopher Cody with ex Kristen Luckey. (Billy Ray was briefly married to Australian singer Firerose following his split from Tish.)
As Miley and her mom celebrated at the Grammy Awards, Billy Ray attended a fundraiser for the Nashville Humane Association on Saturday, February 1, his first public event since the inauguration.
The world is seemingly coming to an end — and fire is all around — in the upcoming 9-1-1: Lone Star series finale.
In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek at the Monday, February 3, episode, the firefighters from the 126 have a lot on their plate following an asteroid hitting Austin.
“The nuclear reactor is on fire,” one caller tells the 9-1-1 dispatch center, while another screams, “There’s bodies everywhere.”
The 9-1-1 call center appears to be overwhelmed with emergencies after the catastrophic disaster, which fans were warned about during the Monday, January 27, episode of the Fox series.
“I need a fallout shelter,” a third caller says in the clip. A fourth resident reveals, “You gotta send help!” revealing that the local university was struck by a part of the asteroid.
As the 126 arrives on scene, led by Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe), there are loud sirens and flames coming off multiple buildings. Not to mention, several bodies are strewn about on the quad.
“Anybody else getting end of days vibes?” firefight Marjan Marwani (Natacha Karam) says as the engine rolls in.
Texas native Judd Ryder (Jim Parrack) begins to quote scripture as he takes in the horrific scene. “And it caused fire to come down from the heavens to earth,” he says.
Once out of the truck, Owen jumps into action telling his team to assess the wounded and put out the spot fires. “What are we looking at here?” Owen asks 9-1-1 dispatcher Wyatt Harris (Jackson Pace), who is also Judd’s son.
Wyatt admits, “It’s pretty bad,” noting that there is a nuclear cooling tank on campus that is overheating and must be turned off before it’s too late.
“At this rate, we’re looking at total meltdown in less than 10 minutes,” Wyatt reveals, telling Owen they haven’t been able to reach the professor in charge of the nuclear science department.
Owen doesn’t waste any more time, telling his squad, “126, we’re going in. We’re looking for the shutoff valve or this place is uninhabitable for the next 10,000 years.”
The ominous warning doesn’t deter his team, but it does get a playful response from Marjan, who fires back, “Alright, but no pressure.”
Ronen Rubinstein, who plays Owen’s son and paramedic T.K. Strand, exclusively told Us on Friday, January 31, that it shouldn’t be surprising to fans how intense the finale is — and how much danger the team gets put in.
He joked that Austin “must have a hellmouth under it” because of all the disasters they’ve encountered during the show’s five-season run.
“I’m very anxious, in a good way, to see what the final product looks like,” Rubinstein, 31, teased. “I do think people will be relieved and happy with where we end the show.”
The 9-1-1: Lone Star series finale airs on Fox at 8 p.m. ET.
The 2025 Grammy Awards were about celebrating so much more than the best music of the past year.
As the annual awards show kicked off Sunday, February 2, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles — with Taylor Swiftleading a star-studded carpet — host Trevor Noah set the tone of what music’s biggest night would be about.
“As usual, we’re coming to you live from Los Angeles. What’s unusual are the circumstances this evening,” Noah said. “Just a few weeks ago, we weren’t sure tonight’s show would even happen. This city has just been through one of the biggest natural disasters in American history.”
With several wildfires — including the Palisades and Eaton Fire — now 100 percent contained, Noah explained why the city of Los Angeles also deserves to be celebrated.
“In the darkest of times, the best of humanity shines through, and the people of Los Angeles right now are the perfect example of that,” he said. “Tonight we decided we’re not just going to be celebrating our favorite music. We’re also celebrating the city that brought us so much of that music.”
Us Weekly kept track of all the best and worst moments on the red carpet and in the show (check out the full winners list here). Keep reading to see all the jaw-dropping memories that will have everyone talking:
Best Tribute to Los Angeles: ‘I Love L.A.’
Throughout the broadcast, the Grammys and CBS took steps to honor those affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles. In addition to inviting first responders, highlighting local businesses in commercials and raising funds for victims throughout the show, the Grammys also opened up the event with a special rendition of Randy Newman’s 1983 song “I Love L.A.”
Sheryl Crow, Brittany Howard, Brad Paisley, John Legend and St. Vincent joined Dawes for the star-studded performance. Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith, who make up Dawes, both lost their homes in the wildfires and have since been involved in relief efforts.
Later on in the show, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars came together for a rendition of The Mamas & the Papas’ “California Dreamin’.”
Best Performance: Sabrina Carpenter
For the record: Shakira, Chappell Roan, Janelle Monáe, Charli XCX and more artists brought the house down with their performances. Witnessing Carpenter’s dream of performing at the show come true, however, was extra special. While taking the stage, the singer performed a medley of “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.” While she started her set in a bedazzled suit, she quickly changed into a powder blue leotard for a theatrical, cabaret-inspired performance.
Moments after her impressive set, Carpenter won Best Pop Vocal Album for Short & Sweet.
Best Acceptance Speech: Doechii
After becoming the third woman to win the Grammy for Best Rap Album, the Alligator Bites Never Heal artist couldn’t hold back tears when she received the award from Cardi B, who previously won the honor in 2019. (Lauryn Hill was the first woman to win in the category in 1997 when she triumphed as part of the Fugees.)
“I know there’s some Black girl — so many Black women — watching me right now. And I wanna tell you, you can do it,” she said through tears. “Anything is possible. Don’t allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you.”
Best Speech With a Message to the Industry: Chappell Roan
“I told myself if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stand up here in front of the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels and the industry profiting millions of dollars off artists would offer a liveable wage and healthcare, especially to developing artists,” she said. “Labels we got you, but do you got us?”
Best Diss Track Win: Kendrick Lamar
After winning Record of the Year and Song of the Year for “Not Like Us,” his diss track againstDrake, the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show performer dedicated his trophy to the communities of Los Angeles.
“Compton, Watts, Long Beach, Inglewood, Hollywood, out to the Valley, Pacoima, IE, San Bernardino, all that,” he said. “This is my neck of the woods that held me down since I was in the studio scrapping to write the best raps and all that, in order to do records like these. I can’t give enough thanks to these places that I rolled around since high school. And most importantly, the people and the families out in the Palisades and Altadena. This is a true testament that we can continue to restore this city. We gonna keep rocking.”
To make the night even more special, Lamar experienced the whole crowd shouting out the line “A minor” as his Grammy-winning song played in the stadium.
Best Reaction to Grammys Win: Beyoncé
Swift had the honor of presenting the award for Best Country Album. As soon as Beyoncé’s name was called as the winner for last year’s Cowboy Carter, nobody was more surprised than the Queen Bey herself. Her reaction quickly went viral on social media after she delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech in front of husband Jay-Z, daughter Blue Ivy and thousands of attendees.
“I really was not expecting this. Wow!” Beyoncé said after making history as the first Black woman to win in the category. “I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about and to stay persistent.”
Best Seatmates: Taylor Swift and Cynthia Erivo
In a viral video posted to X during the show, Erivo was spotted wandering through the venue looking for her seat. Fortunately, she caught the eye of Swift, who waved her over to her table.
Once Erivo was seated on the chair next to Swift, the pair shared a laugh as they enjoyed Noah’s opening monologue.
Best Finally Moment: Beyoncé
Sometimes, they truly save the best for last. Los Angeles firefighters had the honor to present Beyoncé with her very first Album of the Year trophy thanks to Cowboy Carter.
“I just feel very full and very honored,” Beyoncé said during her acceptance speech. “It’s been many, many years, and I just want to thank the Grammys and every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer — all of the hard work. … I just hope we keep pushing forward and opening doors.”
Worst Entrance: Kanye West and Bianca Censori
As West celebrated his nomination for Best Rap Song thanks to his “Carnival” collaboration with ¥$, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, his wife quickly grabbed the attention of photographers when she took off her fur coat to reveal a completely sheer dress. (Censori wasn’t the only star going semi-naked on the red carpet, of course.)
A source later confirmed to Us Weekly that West and Censori departed “on their own accord” right after posing for photos. “They just got in their car and left,” the insider added.
According to multiple reports, the pair attempted to replicate the cover of West’s Vultures album.
Worst Red Carpet Moment: Reporters Snub Babyface to Interview Chappell Roan
While the red carpet can get a bit stressful and chaotic — especially during awards shows — fans were not impressed with how two reporters handled their interview with Babyface. As the 12-time Grammy winner was answering a question mid-sentence, Babyface was cut off as one red carpet reporter noticed Roan in the background.
“You guys want to do that?” he asked before walking away. “Go do that.”
Worst No-Show: Ariana Grande
Although Grande likely has a perfectly good reason why she didn’t attend Sunday’s show, fans were hoping to celebrate her multiple nominations, including Best Pop Vocal Album thanks to Eternal Sunshine.
The singer, however, hasn’t been the biggest fan of the Grammys. In 2019, she criticized a Grammys producer who claimed she pulled out of the show because she couldn’t organize her performance in time. “I’ve kept my mouth shut but now you’re lying about me,” she later wrote via X. “I can pull together a performance overnight and you know that.”
Worst Production Choice: A Nearly 4-Hour Show
Yes, we know it can’t be easy celebrating a whole year of music in just one awards show. But it’s hard for viewers to commit to more than 210 minutes of nonstop television — and stay up past 11:30 p.m. on a Sunday if you’re on the East Coast. While we’re not advocating for winners to have their speeches wrapped in record time, we can’t help but wonder if there’s a way to make the show just a little shorter.
Worst Omission: No Primetime Awards for Charli XCX
Although Charli XCX was the final star to perform during the very long awards show, fans wish they could have witnessed the singer accept any of her three wins: Best Dance Pop Recording for “Von Dutch,” Best Dance/Electronic Album for Brat and Best Recording Package for Brat. While Brat Summer may be over, the recognition shouldn’t stop.
The biggest names in music were honored at the 2025 Grammy Awards — but it’s what went on behind the scenes that really lit up Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena.
Gathering in style on Sunday, February 2, the industry’s most celebrated musical talents partied and mingled between tables as the night’s prestigious awards were handed out and acclaimed acts took the stage.
From a heartwarming Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter post–Eras Tour reunion to Miley Cyrus and mom Tish Cyrus cuddling up on a girls’ night out, a string of backstage and untelevised antics helped celebrate a glittering year of outstanding musical achievements.
Check out the best photos of the night — plus moments observed inside by Us Weekly‘s reporters — below.
With another year’s worth of Grammys handed out, it’s high time to check in on Grammy Award records and all the big names who have broken them over the course of the awards show’s six-decade history.
Taylor Swift skipped the 2019 Grammys — instead opting to attend the British Academy Film Awards with boyfriend Joe Alwyn — but she broke a Grammy record back in 2010 when she was still verging on the country side of pop music. Swift was barely out of her teens at the time, but the record holder for youngest Grammy winner was 12 years younger when she won.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z were also no-shows at the 2019 ceremony, but they returned in 2021 — and have always remained legends in the Recording Academy’s eyes. Jay-Z tied with Quincy Jones for most nominations (80), and Beyoncé broke a record in 2010 that Adele tied in 2012, as detailed in the gallery below. Queen Bey is also the most decorated female artist of all time.
Billie Eilish, for her part, swept the 2020 awards show with wins in the biggest categories of the night, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist. Plus, she was just 18 years old at the time.
“[Billie] was very grateful, obviously, and a lot of her friends were there,” her brother, Finneas O’Connell, told Vogue in February 2020. “She has more ‘go with the flow’ than I do, but we were both kind of embarrassed to win so much; you hope that it will be kind of equal, but after the third in a row … Well, we love all our fellow nominees.”
The producer noted that he was pulling for Lizzo or Lil Nas X. “If I’d bet on anyone, I would have lost money in us winning everything,” he said.
O’Connell continued: “I thought ‘Truth Hurts’ would win Record of the Year. And I thought ‘Old Town Road’ would win Song of the Year because it was. I was hopeful about Album of the Year, and that’s one that I’m really proud of because I love listening to that album front to back. That was the only one that I was like, ‘Maybe!’”
And though Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Kanye West and Stevie Wonder have all earned 20 or more Grammy Awards so far, not one of those artists are close to beating the record for the most lifetime Grammy wins. Scroll down to see that record holder and several more stars whose award shelves must be needing reinforcements.
The Album of the Year category at the 2025 Grammy Awards was stacked with talent, but only one artist walked away with the trophy.
Beyoncé ultimately earned the honor for Cowboy Carter during the Sunday, February 2, ceremony at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, marking her first-ever Album of the Year win. André 3000’sNew Blue Sun, Sabrina Carpenter’sShort n’ Sweet, Charli XCX’sBrat, Jacob Collier’sDjesse Vol. 4, Billie Eilish’sHit Me Hard and Soft, Chappell Roan’sThe Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and Taylor Swift’sThe Tortured Poets Departmentwere also nominated in the category.
Beyoncé, who was joined on stage by her daughter Blue Ivy, 13, was presented the award by members of the Los Angeles Fire Department. She began her acceptance speech by thanking the first responders who have kept people “safe” amid the L.A. wildfires.
“I just feel very full ad very honored. It’s been many, many years, and I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work,” she continued. “I want to dedicate this to Ms. [Linda] Martell, and I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors. God bless y’all. Thank you so much.”
Album of the Year is one of several awards Beyoncé, 43, took home on Sunday, including Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her and Miley Cyrus‘ Cowboy Carter Collab “II Most Wanted.”
Her fellow nominee Swift, who presented her with Best Country Album earlier in the evening, has a long history with the Album of the Year category. In February 2024, she became the first artist to ever receive the award four times when she won for Midnights. Swift, 35, previously dominated the category with Fearless in 2010, 1989 in 2016 and Folklore in 2021.
“I would love to tell you this is the best moment of my life, but I feel this happy when I write a song, or crack the code to a song I love, or when I’m shot-listing a music video or I’m practicing with my band or rehearsing with my dancers or getting ready to fly to Tokyo to perform,” Swift said in her 2024 acceptance speech. “For me, the reward is the work.”
Elsewhere during the 2024 Grammys, Jay-Zslammed the awards show for never recognizing Beyoncé with an Album of the Year win.
“I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has the most Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work,” Jay-Z, 55, said while accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. “Think about that: The most Grammys. Never won Album of the Year. That doesn’t work.”
Prior to Sunday’s ceremony, Beyoncé had 32 Grammys and six nominations for Album of the Year — including for I Am… Sasha Fierce in 2010, Lady Gaga’sThe Fame Monster in 2011, Beyoncé in 2015, Lemonade in 2017, Renaissance in 2023 and Cowboy Carter in 2025 — throughout her career.
Of the remaining 2025 nominees, both André 3000, 49, and Eilish, 23, are past Album of the Year winners for OutKast’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below in 2004 and Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? in 2020, respectively. André 3000 was also previously nominated in the category for Stankonia with OutKast in 2002, as a producer on Gwen Stefani’sLove. Angel. Music. Baby. in 2006 and as a featured artist on Frank Ocean’sChannel Orange in 2013, while Eilish received a nod for Happier Than Ever in 2022.
Collier, 30, was also previously nominated for Album of the Year twice: for Djesse Vol. 3 in 2021 and as a producer, songwriter and featured artist on Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres in 2023.
As for Carpenter, 25, Charli, 32, and Roan, 26, each received their first Album of the Year nods in 2025.
As the most-nominated artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards, Beyoncé was bound to have a memorable night.
The singer, 43, ultimately won a total of three awards during the Sunday, February 2, ceremony at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, taking home Album of the Year, Best Country Album and Best Country/Duo Group Performance for “II Most Wanted” With Miley Cyrus. The evening represented several major milestones for Beyoncé, who finally won her first Album of the Year trophy, becoming only the fourth Black woman in Grammys history to receive the honor. She also became the first Black woman ever to win Best Country Album and the first Black woman in 50 years to win in any country category with “II Most Wanted.”
“I just feel very full and very honored,” Beyoncé said while accepting her Album of the Year award. “It’s been many, many years. I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work. I wanna dedicate this to Ms. Martell and I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors. God bless y’all, thank you so much.”
Prior to the 2025 awards show, Beyoncé received more Grammy nominations than any other artist. In addition to her three wins, her 11 nods included Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Country Song for “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Best Pop Solo Performance for “Bodyguard,” Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Levii’s Jeans” featuring Post Malone, Best Melodic Rap Performance for “Spaghettii” featuring Linda Martell and Shaboozey, Best Country Solo Performance for “16 Carriages” and Best Americana Performance for “Ya Ya.”

In the Album of the Year category, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter faced off against André 3000’sNew Blue Sun, Sabrina Carpenter’sShort n’ Sweet, Charli XCX’sBrat, Jacob Collier’sDjesse Vol. 4, Billie Eilish’sHit Me Hard and Soft, Chappell Roan’sThe Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and Taylor Swift’sThe Tortured Poets Department.
