Terry and Heather Dubrowhave shared a brief update on Teddi Mellencampafter she underwent surgery to remove brain tumors.
Speaking to TMZon Saturday, February 22, the couple shared that things were looking “positive” at the moment for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum.
“Well, obviously any information about Teddi will be given out by her family but what we do know is that, we heard a little bit of good news today, which we’re really happy about and we’re sending all of our good wishes and thoughts to Teddi and her family,” Heather, 56, told the outlet.
While the couple didn’t share specifics about Mellencamp’s current condition, Terry echoed the sentiment that things are going as well as they can be, given the seriousness of the situation.
“What we do know is she’s extremely brave. And we heard that she’s turned the corner a bit,” Terry, 66, said, adding: “So it’s very… I think very positive right now. Things are definitely looking up, we understand.”
Mellencamp, 43, publicly revealed her health battle earlier this month, sharing via her Instagram that she was undergoing brain surgery after doctors found tumors.
“For the last several weeks I’ve been dealing with severe debilitating headaches,” Mellencamp, wrote on February 12. “Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization.”
She explained that after getting a CT scan and an MRI, “Doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months.”

In the post, Mellencamp added that two of the tumors were being removed in surgery that same day, while the others will be dealt with afterwards.
“The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date,” Mellencamp wrote.
Mellencamp’s estranged husband Edwin Arroyave and their children have been by the reality TV star’s side throughout her health battle. (Mellencamp filed for divorce from Arroyave in November 2024 after 13 years of marriage and they share kids Slate, 12, Cruz, 10 and Dove, 4. Mellencamp is also a stepmother to Arroyave’s eldest daughter Isabella from a previous relationship.)
Arroyave, 47, has been posting several updates about Mellencamp’s health, including revealing that she is “beyond grateful” after undergoing brain tumor surgery.
“Our family is thankful to everybody for your continued prayers and well wishes,” Arroyave wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 17. “Teddi is beyond grateful for the outpouring of love while she continues to recover.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is marking her 46th birthday by celebrating her natural beauty.
The actress reflected on ageing and self-love in a sentimental post alongside a makeup-free selfie she shared via her Instagram on Friday, February 21 to commemorate turning a year older.
“46 years old. No make up and no filter. (One of my besties hates a filter so this is for you ) It’s been a hard start to the year. I don’t quite feel myself. But yet I feel like maybe this is all to bring me closer to who I am meant to be,” she wrote in the caption.
“In this feeling of loss and being lost I have found a strange calm and letting go that doesn’t usually come easy to me,” she wrote. “I know that I have the greatest kids and husband ever. My brother’s hugs heal me. I feel my mom with me everyday. My friends make me want to be a better human daily.”
She continued: “I have all the things I really need and long truly for nothing other than joyful moments, continuing in the career I love, more time with friends, delicious food and to feel a shift to this year that brings clarity and hopefully the return of a little magic.”
Hewitt went on to state that society can be harsh towards women as their physical appearance inevitably changes as they get older, but countered it by explaining the benefits of ageing that she had also witnessed.
“I have experienced and seen how the world can be cruel to women as they age and yet seen the women I admire become happier, sexier and more powerful with every added number,” she wrote. “I am so deeply grateful for this life. I love all who choose to do it by my side and I am ready to give love today to the younger me and the older me because they are my ride or die’s. Sending love to all and cheers to 46! ”
It’s not the first time Hewitt, who has graced screens since her 1990s, has been candid about her thoughts on ageing in Hollywood and the unrealistic expectations placed on women.
“I feel like fans pick this age that they love that they think represents you, and you’re never supposed to grow beyond that,” Hewitt told Fox New Digital in December 2024. “For me, it was like me and my 20s. People seem to have a really hard time accepting that I don’t look that way anymore.”
She added, “Age is age. I think women really come into this acceptance of themselves and comfortability in their 40s that is beautiful.”

A crowd of Blue Jackets fans sang ‘happy birthday’ to Johnny Gaudreau Jr. in a touching moment in the wake of his father Johnny’s tragic death last year.
The Blue Jackets were facing off against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, February 22 at Nationwide Arena, Columbus when fans were informed during a stoppage midway through the first period that Johnny Gaudreau Jr. was celebrating his first birthday.
After the crowd was asked to sing the traditional birthday song, fans sang in unison while Meredith held Johnny Jr. up to soak in the emotional moment.
Johnny, 31, was killed, along with his brother Matthew, 29, in August 2024 when they were struck and killed by a driver while riding bikes in Oldmans Township, New Jersey. The tragic incident occurred the night before their sister Katie’s wedding.
As well as wife Meredith and son Johnny Jr., Johnny was survived by his daughter Noa, 2. For his part, Matthew was survived by his wife Madeline, who later gave birth to their first child, a son named Tripp Matthew, in December 2024.
Following Johnny’s death, Meredith revealed she was nine weeks pregnant with the couple’s third child during September 2024 memorial service for the late brothers.

“We’re actually a family of five,” Meredith said at the September 9 , 2024 ceremony held at St. Mary Magdalen Parish outside Philadelphia. “I’m in my ninth week of pregnancy with our third baby. A total surprise, but again, John was beaming and so excited.”
Meredith added, “I was so nervous because this was, again, a total surprise. But his reaction was just immediately kissing me and hugging me even though I was driving the car. After the initial excitement sank in, every time he looked at me, he would say, ‘You’re nuts, you know that? Three kids?’”
During her speech, Meredith also vowed to keep her late husband’s legacy alive on the ice.
“John, I promise to have baby Johnny on skates soon and to be a dedicated hockey mom that drives any distance to all the tournaments,” she said. “I’ll wake up early for the games, even if that means baby Johnny shows up in Winnie the Pooh pajamas and sleeps on the bench, just like you did.”
A month later, Meredith posted a poignant tribute to her late partner, who she was married to just shy of three years prior to his death.
“John, we love you so much,” Meredith wrote via Instagram in October. “I grow more and more proud of you every single day, (I have since the day I met you) and it continues even though you are in heaven. Thank you for giving me our hockey family, our children and such a beautiful life as your wife.”
She continued: “You are and will always be my everything. I love you so much. I love you more every day. I always told you there are no words to describe my love for you. There just aren’t. ‘You know how much I love you, right?’ .”
The Stranger Things actress took to social media on Saturday, February 22, to share a series of happy snaps via her Instagram which showed her celebrations in Long Bay Beach in Turks and Caicos Islands.
Brown stunned in a bikini in a photo showing her relaxing in a hammock while reading a magazine as the ocean water glistened behind her.
Another photo featured Brown and her friends making sandcastles while yet another showed them on a boat checking out the marine life below.
Brown simply captioned the post, “birthday magic ”
The vacation destination is located between the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic and is a British Overseas Territory.
The islands are known for their surrounding turquoise blue water, pristine beaches, luxury resorts and array of activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, water sports, fishing and chartered boat rides.
Earlier this year, Brown clapped back at internet trolls who criticized her looks, claiming she appeared older than she is in reality.
“Women grow!!” she wrote in a since-expired Instagram story in January. “Not sorry about it :).”
Away from the bright lights of Hollywood and her acting career, the Enola Homes star has been embracing a more low-key lifestyle.
Brown and husband Jake Bongiovi, who she wed in May 2024, are living in on farm in Georgia, a lifestyle she’s wholeheartedly embracing.
“I’m not doing it for the aesthetic,” Brown told Vanity Fair in an interview published earlier this month. “I’m doing it because I love it.”
The actress admitted that she feels her happiest while on the farm, and regularly goes off the grid by rarely checking her phone and allowing others to handle her social media.
Brown added that she doesn’t subscribe to the “trad wife” trend — a concept that rejects being a modern feminist in favor of glorifying an old-fashioned lifestyle with a “traditional” housewife.
“There are maybe some trad wives out there doing it because it seems wholesome, but it is not,” Brown said. “If you’re not picking up horse sh— or washing a cow with your bare hands, then that life is not made for you. At all.”
Bongiovi, who is the son of musician Jon Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea Hurley, has also embraced farm life since tying the knot in May 2024 with Brown after two years of dating.
“We were pretty united going into it,” Brown said of Bongiovi. “We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we’re looking for, the kind of careers we want. It’s such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was. It always felt right with him.”
Craig also said the relationship is “the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
When asked why Collins wasn’t at the invitational tournament as well, Craig explained she wasn’t able to attend and go against him — yet. “We would love to,” he continued. “She would love to have been here, but the logistics just didn’t work out. So hopefully next time.”
Craig first appeared on the show in 2010. He set a single-day record of $77,000 on the second day of his running, besting Jenning’s own single-day record of $75,000. After seven days on the show he lost to Jelisa Castrodale, but ultimately earned $231,200.
Collins made her debut on Jeopardy! in 2014 and won over $400,000 during a 20-day run from April 21 to May 30 that year.
The headlines are definitely happier news for Jeopardy!. In November 2024, the show came under fire after contestant Heather Ryan answered a sexist clue. Ryan appeared on the October 28, 2024, episode of the show and was confronted with a clue in the “Complete the Rhyming Phrase…” category that read, “Men seldom make passes…”
Ryan completed the sentence, answering with “girls who wear glasses.”
Jennings immediately apologized to Ryan, who was wearing glasses. In an interview published in Binghamton University’s student newspaper on November 4, Ryan said the clue was “definitely an odd choice.”
“I think it made everybody in the audience and on stage, and Ken Jennings too, a little uncomfortable,” she said at the time. “It was like, ‘Oh, that was unexpected.’ Maybe we choose better rhyming phrases in 2024. Unfortunately, there are still girls who are [in] middle school and they don’t want to wear their glasses and they’re losing out on their education. So, I think it’s much better to be able to see than anything else.”
Ryan ultimately came in second during the game, losing by $1 to Ian Taylor, a food sales rep from Cleveland, Ohio. Despite the clue controversy, she assured the newspaper, “I had a great time. Everybody there was very welcoming.”
OnlyFans star Lily Philips is laughing off claims that her pregnancy is fake.
Philips, 23, was spotted out with friends in West Hollywood on Friday, February 21, per a video shared by TMZ, where she was asked about mounting online speculation that she is lying about her pregnancy. When asked by a photographer if the pregnancy was indeed fake, she said, “No.”
Philips, who was dressed in a black off-the-shoulder catsuit, and her friends got a good laugh out of the question. One of her companions responded to the photographer by saying, “She’s pregnant, leave her alone,” adding, “She’s having my baby,” which was met with giggles from the group.
The British influencer seemingly announced her pregnancy via Instagram on Tuesday, February 18, when she posted two photos, one of which featured Phillips cradling a rather large baby bump, while the second showed two positive pregnancy tests.
“The secret is out,” Phillips captioned her post. “Baby Phillips 2025.”
While social media users flocked to Philips’ comment section to speculate on the truth of the announcement, multiple U.K. outlets reported that Phillips’ pregnancy is not real. The Mirror reported on Thursday, February 20, that her pregnancy was part of a “role play” for “her job.” This news appeared to come from a source, though a separate outlet shared a similar quote, claiming it was a rep statement.
Philips made headlines last year after she slept with 100 men in one day, an experience she later detailed in a December 2024 YouTube documentary.
“It’s not for the weak. If I’m honest, it was hard. I don’t know if I’d recommend it,” she said at the time. “Just one in and one out, it feels intense.” Since then, Philips has shared her plans to be the first person to sleep with 1,000 people in 24 hours.
The content creator has been open about the possibility of one day becoming a parent, speaking about the prospect as a guest on “The Shizzio Show” podcast last month.
“I would want children, but definitely later down the line,” she said in January. “I know with that comes a lot of backlash. I understand that. … I think when I started doing [OnlyFans], I didn’t want kids at the time, and so, it wasn’t a problem to me ‘cause I thought through all this.”
She added, “I knew if I started this I wouldn’t be able to get a normal job and it would affect my family’s life and my kids’ life and stuff like that. I think over the past year or two, I’ve started to get a little bit more broody and want kids.”
Philips noted, however, that she’s not worried about her future children learning about her OnlyFans career. “The thing is you can’t live for a future that hasn’t even happened yet,” she said, adding that she wasn’t “going to put my unborn child before my own needs.”
“I do get that my own kids will be scrutinized so much and … I’d like to think I’d do as much to protect my kids as possible,” she concluded.
Mini bags can be tricky. The goal is to find a practical option for holding your essentials that looks grown-up and sophisticated. You want something that works for your daily needs but doesn’t look like it belongs in a teenager’s wardrobe or a toddler’s hand.
Luckily, we’ve found a selection of mini bags that hit the mark. These structured options are produced from high-quality materials, and tout elevated designs that make them feel far from juvenile.

15. The No-Fuss Option: Some days, you just need a bag that gets the job done. Lightweight, durable, and surprisingly roomy, this one makes life way easier.
In a sweeping interview with Harper’s Bazaar published on Saturday, February 22, the singer and entrepreneur admitted that the “greatest thing” about her partner A$AP Rocky is “is seeing him be a dad.”
The pair’s sons, RZA, 2, and Riot Rose, 1, seem to agree. “I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for him more than they live for me,” she continued. “And I’m like, ‘Did you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?’ And they love him, but when I see it, oh, it’s the best.”
The duo, who finally connected romantically in 2019 after years of friendship, go way back. The family of four lives in New York City — something they both appreciate.
“We like to eat with people. We like to shop with people. We like to walk the streets with people,” Rihanna, 37, explained to the outlet. “I don’t like a private room. I don’t have them shut down stores. I don’t like the Rapunzel life. It’s very isolating. It’s very lonely. And what am I protecting myself from? I’m actually allowing people to dictate the robbery of the life that I could actually be living.”
Rihanna also spoke about her other babies: her massively successful businesses, including Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. She adds that she’s interested in expanding to home design and even wine at some point. (“We would want to have our own family vineyard.”) She said that part of her success is due to the fact that she’s “never underestimated my consumer.”
“I think a lot of people underestimate the consumer,” Rihanna added. “They think that they can maybe pull the wool over the consumer’s eyes and sell them what the ideal of beauty should be. And I don’t know if it’s the era of social media or just time, but people are not dumb.”
In the same interview, Rihanna also assured fans new music will be on the way… one day.
“There’s no genre now. That’s why I waited. Every time, I was just like, ‘No, it’s not me. It’s not right. It’s not matching my growth. It’s not matching my evolution. I can’t do this. I can’t stand by this. I can’t perform this for a year on tour,” she explained.
“After a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to count. It has to matter.”
“I have to show them the worth in the wait,” she added. “I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more.”
Zachary Levi has some thoughts on whether or not Timothée Chalametwill play Flynn Rider in the live-action movie Tangled.
“Oh, I think he would be great,” Levi exclusively told Us Weekly of the rumored casting while attending the New York premiere of The Unbreakable Boy on Wednesday, February 19 at AMC Lincoln Square.
“I would totally sign off on Timothée,” he added.
Levi, 44, lent his voice to the 2010 animated film, alongside Mandy Moore’s Repunzel and Donna Murphy’s evil Mother Gothel. Levi went on to tell Us that he doesn’t know if the powers that be will “ever make a Tangled 2 movie.”
“We did a Tangled series,” he added, referring to the 2017 series Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure that featured the returning voices of both Moore and Levi. The series ran for two seasons.
In December 2024, Deadline and Variety reported that Disney’s 2010 Tangled was getting a live-action remake. According to the outlets, The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey is in talks to direct.

Do Revenge and Thor: Love and Thunder writer Jennifer Kaaytin Robinson reportedly wrote the latest version of the Tangled script.
Revisiting his work on Tangled – whether via a live-action movie or simply a 2010 animated film re-watch — is certainly in Levi’s future, as he is preparing to become a father. In December 2024, Levi announced via Instagram that he and girlfriend Maggie Keating are expecting their first child together.
“I’ve wanted to be a dad since I was literally a kid,” Levi wrote at the time, alongside a picture of an ultrasound. “I’ve always felt that call on my life. This desire in my heart. A strange feeling of incompleteness by not having that level of love and responsibility in my journey. That the best years of my life would be on the other side of finally being a father. But deep down I knew that there were things in my life that needed to shift before I was ready for the blessing of something so special and the responsibilities that come with it.”
Levi went on to say that “last November” that aforementioned shift occurred, which he credited to “loving and valuing myself more.” He also praised his girlfriend Keating, calling her a “wonderful woman on the same journey of self discovery and love, ready to step into a new and amazing chapter of life with me.”
“We can’t wait for ya’ll to meet our little bambino,” he continued in the post’s caption. “We’re waiting until the birth to know the sex, but I’ll be stoked out of my mind either way. Keep ‘em original, but not TOO original. We don’t need them being bullied more than their theater-nerd father.”
When asked how his recent role in The Unbreakable Boy – a movie about a boy and his parents finding courage, joy and gratitude in a trying circumstance in which Levi stars alongside Jacob Laval – prepared him for impending fatherhood, the actor said that working with “anyone, be they a child or another adult, teaches you empathy.”
“It teaches you that there is another soul out there that is not you, that is living an entirely other existence and another life, and they’re doing their best,” he told Us. “And particularly with children, whether with children or adults, may we always walk more patiently. May we always walk in more kindness and more love. Jacob has this incredible energy that we all got infected by as he brought Austin to life. For us, we were so blessed to find somebody as talented because child actors, it’s tough. They haven’t had a lot of experience acting, so they’re coming with a lot of their own raw talents, and Jacob was wonderful.”

Salma Hayek is celebrating stepdaughter Mathilde Pinault on her birthday.
“Happy Birthday Tildie , Wishing you a year as bright, beautiful, and full of promise as you are,” Hayek, 58, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 20, alongside several sweet photos of the actress and her stepdaughter, including a throwback photo from when Mathilde and daughter Valentina, 17, were children.
“So proud of the woman you’ve become!” Hayek’s heartfelt message continued. “We love you @mathildepinault .”
Hayek and Mathilde stepped out together last year for the 60th annual Venice Biennale for the event’s Fondazione Cini, Isola Di San Giorgio gala dinner in Italy. The stepmother-stepdaughter duo stunned in sparkling gowns, with Hayek donning a bright blue fitted number with a plunging sweetheart neckline. Meanwhile, Mathilde dazzled in a sparkling silver dress adorned with tassels.
Mathilde, 24, is the daughter of Hayek’s husband, François-Henri Pinault, whom she married in 2009. Pinault was already a father of three by the time they met. Pinault shares Mathilde with ex wife Dorothée Lepère, along with son François, whom the pair welcomed in 1998. Pinault also shares a son Augustin, born in 2006, with model Linda Evangelista. Hayek and Pinault welcomed Valentina together in 2007.
“I had a child late in life,” Hayek said to Red magazine about being a mother in 2017, noting at the time that she “identified” with her character in the 2015 film Tale of Tales who had a “desperate desire to have a child and maybe feeling that you could never be happy or complete, that your life is not complete, without this.”
She continued, “I’ve had that yearning, that longing, and that pain… I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to. My body, as a miracle, had one. The huge blessing I’ve had is that my husband has three other children. So I have four. And they are all so different.”
Hayek takes her role as a step mom seriously, previously gushing over her stepson Augustin for his 18th birthday in October 2024.
“Happy 18th bday Augie you’re officially a full grown up man who just became legal at least in Mexico and France,” she wrote, alongside several sweet family photos.
“Your gentle heart is like healing caress in our lives because you bring warmth and light to everyone around you,” her post continued. “Keep bringing the laughter and joy. We love you so much.”
“I think that maybe I would take, like, a piece of some type of clothing of hers that meant a lot and somehow incorporate it into something in our wedding,” Anderson, 26, said on the Friday, February 21, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “I definitely want a piece of my mom in our wedding and I think that I’m a very sentimental person, so there’s a lot of ideas that I have [to incorporate] the people that went with us presently.”
Anderson got engaged to Graziadei, 29, during the Bachelor season 28 finale and are now in the midst of planning their big day. According to Anderson, her fiancé also wants to honor his late grandmother.
“She was very, very special to him,” Anderson said. “I’m trying to think of ways that we can still honor them because they were big people in our lives.”
Other than including special tributes, Anderson doesn’t have a ton of must-haves in mind when it comes to the ceremony.
“The only [thing] that Joey and I both have said is that we want it to just be a big party,” Anderson teased. “Like, after we say our vows we just want to have a big celebration. We want everyone on the dance floor [and] so I’m gonna find the perfect band, perfect DJ, whatever we choose.”

She added, “I’m pretty open, but I don’t think I want everything to be super traditional. I want it to just form to [what] we feel is right for us.”
Kelsey is one of the daughters of Mark and Denise Anderson. Denise died in 2018 following a battle with breast cancer.
“My mom was somebody who was very positive and always found light in any situation, even whenever she was going through all these rounds of chemo and radiation and she was very sick,” Kelsey exclusively told Us Weeklyin October 2024. “[My mom] initially got diagnosed because she found a lump in her armpit when she was doing a self-exam. She went in and she got it checked. They said it was fine. It wasn’t anything. She had this gut feeling and was like, ‘I just want it removed if it’s not supposed to be there.’ She ended up having stage three and stage four breast cancer.”
Kelsey has since become an advocate for early detection, telling Us that she’s previously undergone two lumpectomies that were “luckily” both benign.
Mark later went on The Golden Bachelorette in 2024 before meeting his current girlfriend, One Tree Hill alum Barbara Alyn Woods.
He might be the object of many a heart’s desire (who could forget thatworkout photo?!), but Lenny Kravitz has been single for 10 years — and he’s happy that way.
“I’m good on my own. There’s nothing like a relationship with… You know,” Kravitz, 60, told The Times in an interview published Saturday, February 22. “But right now, I’m good where I am.”
Kravitz’s relationship history is a storied one — he was married to Lisa Bonet from 1987 to 1993, at which time the pair welcomed their daughter Zoe Kravitz in 1988. After the pair’s split, he went on to have a five-year relationship with Vanessa Paradis, and was at one point even engaged to Nicole Kidman.
In May 2024, Kravitz also said he’s chosen to remain celibate until he finds the right partner, something The Times noted he appeared to wave off in this interview.
He was much more willing to talk about daughter Zoe, 36, who hilariously noted that her father’s “relationship with the netted shirt is probably your longest one — and it works” when Kravitz received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March 2024.
“So now people come up to me when I’m wearing [one]: ‘What did your daughter tell you?’ I’m like, ‘What?’ And I look down and I’m, like, ‘Oh my God. I’m a caricature of myself,’” he told the publication.
The singer and actor also shared where he likes to shop for furniture (Paris flea markets, something Paradis introduced him to in the 1990s) and clothes (“I have certain vintage dealers that I deal with. They curate things, they know what I like.”) before he revealed he has a fondness for the Netflix series Emily in Paris.
“I’ve seen the whole thing,” he said. “I love a bit of camp every now and again. I know the creator [Darren Star], who I met after I’d watched it. We were at a dinner in LA at a friend’s house. She said, ‘He does Emily in Paris.’ I was like ‘You do?’”
Though Kravitz might have been single for a decade, it doesn’t seem that it’s completely for lack of trying — but maybe for lack of following through. In November 2024, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey, 57, claimed Kravitz asked for her number, but never actually called her.
“He was really nice,” she said on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast at the time. “He didn’t use my damn number.”
Perhaps it was for the best, Bailey continued, because she “didn’t feel any sparks” either way.
Lenny and ex-wife Lisa Bonet welcomed their only child together in December 1988. The couple, who married one year earlier, ultimately split in 1993 but remained committed to coparenting Zoë. (Bonet also shares two younger children, daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf, with ex-husband Jason Momoa, whom she split from in 2022.)
“What you see is what it is. We are one family,” Lenny said during an October 2020 interview on the“Carlos Watson Show” podcast. “Yes, we split back then [but we] worked it out because that is what you do. There was no choice in that matter [and] it’s a blessing. Been wonderful for Zoë to be able to see her parents like that. I forget that people don’t operate that way in so many cases.”
As Zoë grew up, she followed both her parents into Hollywood and made her own name as an actress. According to Lenny, she even tried to change her name professionally.
“I understood it,” he told Esquire in a November 2023 profile. “But I was like, ‘That’s your name.’”

October 2010
“It makes it kind of impossible,” Lenny joked about dating as a single parent during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “[Zoë is] extremely critical. I thought I was the dad and I had to screen the boyfriends, but it’s kind of the other way around.”
June 2019
Lenny gushed to People that he’s learned about “love, respect, and hard work, honor, and discipline” since becoming a dad before theorizing what it will be like to watch Zoë get married.
“When that happens it’ll be a trip and emotional for all the reasons anybody would understand, but also because that’s the one thing my mother [Roxie Roker] talked about before she died that she wanted to live long enough to see her granddaughter get married,” he said of his mother, who died of breast cancer in 1995. “When my mother passed, [Zoë] was young. She remembers her and has really fond memories, but it didn’t get to the point where they’d get into deep conversation.”
Zoë got engaged to Karl Glusman in 2018, and they wed the following year. They split in 2021 after 18 months of marriage.

Lenny revealed to Access Hollywood that parenting “came naturally to [him].”
“I knew what I didn’t want to be,” he said before referencing his estranged relationship with father Sy Kravitz. “Because our relationship was what it was, that’s fine. What I got to see was what a great grandfather he was. So, I got to see that and experience that and my daughter got to experience that.”
Lenny also discussed watching Zoë grow up in the shadow of famous parents. “What’s great about her is that she’s always been her own person,” he added. “She didn’t want people judging her and seeing her in a certain way because of who her parents were, and that’s wonderful because a lot of kids like to use that for the attention.”
November 2020
“People can’t believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zoë’s mom, how we all relate. We just do it because that’s what you do,” he told Men’s Health of his blended family. “You let love rule, right? I mean, obviously, after a breakup, it’s work — it takes some work and time, healing and reflection.”
Lenny hinted to Extra about the possibility of making music with Zoë.
“You know, that’s something I always thought about,” he explained. “The right thing at the right time [but] I’d love to work with my daughter one day on something just because I think she’s great. If she wasn’t my daughter, I would still feel the same way about her.”
Zoë also has musical talents, even helping pal Taylor Swiftwrite songs for 2022’s Midnights.

“I wouldn’t think of it as this heroic feat. This is just normal to me,” he told Esquire about coparenting, going on to reveal if he wants to have more kids. “I could not, and I could. If it doesn’t happen, I’ve done the best with Zoë that I could ever dream to do. If I was with somebody that wanted to have kids, absolutely. A hundred percent.”
January 2024
Us confirmed in 2023 that Zoë had gotten engaged to actor Channing Tatum after two years of dating. (News broke in October 2024 that the pair ended their engagement.)
During an interview with The Times of London, Lenny stressed, “I love being her father” before approving her remarks during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. (When Lenny received his star in March 2024, Zoë roasted his penchant for sheer, nipple-baring tops.)
“Oh, wasn’t that fabulous?” Lenny recalled to the outlet. “You see, that’s what your daughter’s supposed to do. That is absolutely exactly what your daughter is supposed to do, and she told the truth. She’s dry, but she told the truth.”
Elsewhere in the profile, Lenny addressed the possibility of becoming a grandfather. (Zoë, however, has previously been candid about her indecision in having children.)
“Of course. If it happens. Yeah, if it happens. It feels weird, just hearing the word,” he said. “Probably, because I still feel like a kid. I honestly still feel like a kid.”
“Well, forever and always [my] #1 [is] forehead tox,” Iaconetti, 36, revealed during Friday, February 21, Instagram Story Q&A. “Botox is like saying the brand name Kleenex for tissue.”
Iaconetti also has a soft spot for lip filler, which she gets annually.
“My bottom lip is naturally full,” she explained. “Now, the top is perfectly balanced for my face IMO.”
The Bachelor Nation alum also recently underwent NeoGen PSR (Plasma Skin Regeneration), which is classified as a non-invasive skin treatment that targets acne scarring and promotes collagen production.
“I just did NeoGenPSR last month at @aiyanaatelier. It’s supposed to take six months to see full results, but basically, it’s the ultimate collagen booster,” she explained. “I feel like, despite Hayden getting me up three times per night, I’m still looking fresh and youthful lately.”

Iaconetti shares sons Dawson, 3, and Hayden, 7 months, with her husband, Jared Haibon. (The couple met during Bachelor in Paradise season 2 and got married in 2019.)
“It was actually easier than the first. I had two great deliveries and this one could not have been done better,” Iaconetti exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024 of Hayden’s birth one month earlier. “Like, I basically didn’t feel pain. I felt pressure and really [no] pain.”
She added, “With Dawson, I probably felt pain for like an hour — going from triage to the delivery room and waiting for the epidural for a little bit. [This time], I was induced and it was just kind of like a doctor’s appointment. It was awesome.”
Iaconetti and Haibon, 36, previously welcomed eldest son Dawson in 2022 — and they are not thinking of expanding their family further.
In January 2024, Iaconetti exclusively told Us that the couple are “very done with two.”
Director Justin Baldoni’s religious beliefs are reportedly playing a part in his ongoing legal drama with It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively.
Baldoni, 41, is a member of the Baha’i faith, a religion founded in the 19th century that focuses on the unity of humanity and the elimination of prejudice. Both of the directors’ parents converted to Baha’i before he was born. His religious beliefs, however, allegedly played a role in the on set drama between him and Lively, 37, during the production of It Ends With Us.
In Lively’s initial December 2024 sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni, the actress claimed she felt “alarmed” upon learning the actor cast as the doctor in her character’s birth scene, Adam Mondschein, was Baldoni’s “best friend.” A feature published by The Hollywood Reporter on Friday, February 21, noted that Mondschein, like Baldoni, was a member of the Baha’i community as well. (Lively’s December 2024 sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni does not mention the religion by name.)
Per THR, a source who worked on Baldoni’s 2019 film Five Feet Apart claimed the director “talk[ed] about his religion a lot” on set, adding, “This had shades of Scientology but with less of the prominence and people hovering at all times.”

Keep scrolling to find out more about the Baháʼí Faith:
When Did Bahá’í Start?
The Baha’i Faith was established in Iran under the Universal House of Justice in 1963, the same year that founder Baháʼu’lláh claimed to be the prophet foretold by the Báb, an Iranian religious leader who died in 1850. Per the religion’s official website, the origins of the Baha’i Faith began in 1819, the same year the Báb was born.
The Bahá’í World News Service reports that there are currently more than 5 million members around the world. Besides Baldoni, other Bahá’í celebrities include Rainn Wilson and Penn Badgley.
What Is the Universal House of Justice?
Established in 1963, the Universal House of Justice is the elected head and international governing council of the Baháʼí Faith. The functions of the body are defined by Baháʼu’lláh, which cover how to implement Baháʼí laws, teaching and education, addressing social issues and taking care of the weak and poor.
Per the official website, the Universal House of Justice “is charged with applying the Bahá’í teachings to the requirements of an ever-evolving society.” Baháʼu’lláh’s guidelines for the council — the members of which are elected — were further clarified by his son, Abdu’l-Bahá, after his death, who wrote that the “equality of men and women is an established fact.”
Despite the so-called established fact, the website notes that membership for the Universal House of Justice is men only.
“While this may be surprising, it is a provision that was ordained by Bahá’u’lláh Himself,” it reads. “Abdu’l-Bahá has stated that its wisdom will be clearly understood in the future. Because the Bahá’í Writings are filled with unequivocal statements about the equality of men and women, however, the question of male membership of the Universal House of Justice can in no way be regarded as a sign of the superiority of men over women.”
What Do Baha’is believe?
A pillar of the Baha’i Faith focuses on teaching the essential worth of all religions and the unity of all people. Per the official website’s overview, their beliefs address what are called “essential themes” including the “oneness” of God, religion and humanity, harmony between religion and science, equality of the sexes and the importance of education.
Bahá’ís also believe in the “inherent nobility of the human being,” the “development of spiritual qualities,” the “integration of worship and service,” with particular importance paid to the “dynamics of the relationships that are to bind together individuals, communities, and institutions as humanity advances towards its collective maturity.”
What do Bahá’ís do?
For a Bahá’í, the purpose of the faith is to “inspire individuals and communities as they work to improve their own lives and contribute to the advancement of civilization,” per the website, which also states that many followers have “sought to apply Bahá’í principles to their lives and work.”
Bahá’ís are encouraged to better their communities, sometimes through volunteering and outreach, all with the intention of “serving humanity and refining their inner lives.” A lot of focus is paid on the betterment of the “human soul” and working toward the “realization of Bahá’u’lláh’s stupendous vision for humanity’s coming of age.”
Additionally, as part of their devotion, followers are encouraged to take a pilgrimage to the religion’s holy site in Haifa, Israel. Baldoni shared a snapshot from his own pilgrimage via Instagram in December 2022, writing, “So grateful to be back in Haifa visiting the #bahai holy land on a three day pilgrimage. Praying in the Shrines of `Abdu’l-Bahá and The Báb was the spiritual cleanse I needed. Overflowing with gratitude tonight.”
Do Bahá’ís Pray?
Pilgrimages and prayer is integral to the Bahá’í Faith, “whether at the level of the individual, the community, or the institutions.” Followers are encouraged to “turn their hearts in prayer to God repeatedly throughout the day.”
The official site notes that “in addition, meetings of consultation and gatherings where friends have come together to undertake one or another project commonly begin and end with prayers.” Bahá’ís also host gatherings and “devotional meetings” for friends and other Bahá’ís to “unite together in prayer, often in one another’s homes,” which are meant to “serve to awaken spiritual susceptibilities within the participants, and in concert with the acts of service they perform, lead to a pattern of community life that is infused with the spirit of devotion and focused on the attainment of spiritual and material prosperity.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Friday feature, a source who previously worked with Baldoni on the 2019 film Five Feet Apart claimed they had “never worked with a male director who was so worried about everyone’s emotional and mental well-being.” The source stated Baldoni had an “openness and emotionality to his style that was more typical of a woman, and it probably wouldn’t be an issue if it was a [female director] because of the preconceived notions of gender.”
However, other sources told the outlet that because Baldoni was both leading man and director of It Ends With Us, the influence of his religion on set was more pronounced, allegedly leading crew members in prayer on the first day of production where he would “ask God for guidance” before making creative decisions.
“I can’t believe she’s 4 already,” Brittany, 29, gushed via Instagram Stories on Saturday, February 22, sharing snaps from the Bluey-themed party she hosted based on the popular animated children’s series.
To celebrate Sterling’s big day, the party venue was decked out in themed merch and colorful balloons.
Sterling is the firstborn daughter of Brittany and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick, 29. (They also share younger children Bronze, 2, and Golden, 1 month.)
“This sweetest, most kind little girl ever! I thank God every day for choosing me to be your mom, you have taught me so much about life and what matters most and I truly am so thankful you made me a mama,” Brittany wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 20. “You are the best big sister to Golden & Bronze and they are so lucky to have you guiding them your Mom and Dad love you beyond and more.”

“That’s not my decision. I got the easy part and I’ll keep doing my part,” Jason, 37, quipped during the Friday, February 21, episode of “The Steam Room” podcast. “I think Kylie’s about coming to the end of wanting to pop these things out. I think this pregnancy has been a long [one] for her. This is our fourth girl [and] this one might be it. We’ll see.”
Jason and Kylie, 32, have been married since 2018 and are parents to daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 23 months. They announced in November 2024 that they are expecting again.
According to the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, there “hasn’t been any firm decisions” made on whether their fourth baby will forever be the youngest Kelce child.
“We’ve talked about the V-word,” Jason teased on Friday, referring to a vasectomy procedure. “We’ve brought it up. I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but we’ll see.”
Jason had been specifically asked whether he and Kylie were eager to keep trying until they had a son.
“I don’t think it’s necessarily if we want to have a boy because, at the end of the day, we’re not shooting with good percentages,” Jason joked. “We got to give up on that idea. It’s like, ‘Do you want to have another child?’ Then, we’ll do that. But, I think as of right now, that’s not definitely happening.”
Kylie also wasn’t shocked that their soon-to-be fourth baby will be a girl.
“We were not surprised at all. There was a lot of talk, and I think there still are rumors that we’re having a boy, or that we were trying for a boy,” the field hockey coach told Parents magazine earlier this month. “It’s very silly. We were not trying for anything but a healthy baby. We’re so excited to meet her.”
Rather than be fixated on the baby’s sex, Jason and Kylie find it more important to raise down-to-earth children.
“We stay surrounded by family and friends, so we keep the people around us very close to us,” Kylie exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2024 of how the couple keep their girls humble. “Then, we make sure that anything that we’re doing that they feel supported by their family and friends and then also not really putting them in any places of privilege.”
She added, “[We’re] trying our best to make sure that when they grow up and they turn 16, they will be driving a [used vehicle]. We can’t let them have a hand-me-down car at this point. You’re not getting dad’s [Tesla] CyberTruck as your hand-me-down. You will be driving a basic model, hopefully, having to roll the windows down with a crank.”
In another universe, Patrick Renna could have been cast in another iconic role after his portrayal of Ham in 1993’s The Sandlot.
“I auditioned for Entourage,” the Sandlot star, 45, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the release of his new children’s book A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseball and Life. “I’ve been in Hollywood my whole life, so, you know, if there’s a movie out there, I’d probably audition for it.”
Renna explained that he was under consideration to play Salvatore “Turtle” Assante on the HBO dramedy, which ran from 2004 to 2011. Turtle is the childhood best friend of Vincent Chase, who was played by Adrian Grenier.
Ultimately, Renna lost the role to Jerry Ferrara, who portrayed the character throughout the show’s entirety. Despite not booking the gig, Renna has been able to find some silver lining.
“I loved the way [Jerry] did it,” Renna said of Ferrara’s performance. “So, I got to have a favorite show back in the day.”
Turtle wasn’t the only timeless character Renna almost landed. The actor was also up for multiple parts in The Lord of the Ringstrilogy.
“I auditioned for Samwise Gamgee. And then I also auditioned for Merry and Pippin,” he recalled. “When you did it, you kind of auditioned for all of them. Anyone that sort of fits.”

Renna walked away from the fantasy trilogy without a part. Sean Astin ended up playing Samwise, while Merry and Pippin went to Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd, respectively.
Much like his respect for Ferrara, Renna doesn’t have any hard feelings — especially since he’s a big fan of the J. R. R. Tolkien fantasy.
“That’s one of my favorite trilogies. So I would’ve ruined it for myself. So there’s the silver lining,” he told Us. “Now it can be one of my favorites. I can’t watch myself like that.”
While Renna didn’t get the parts he wanted, he’s still been booked and busy. In addition to being a movie star, he can now add children’s book author to his impressive resume. His book A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseballand Life hits shelves on Tuesday, February 25. Renna shared that being a dad was one of the main reasons why he wanted to write the story. (Renna shares sons Flynn and Liam with his wife, Jasmin who is currently pregnant with baby No. 3.)
“I think being a dad and having two young boys made the idea of writing a kid’s book a no-brainer,” he told Us. “I read them every night with my wife and, um, we tell them stories or read them stories.”
What sealed the deal, however, was being able to utilize his baseball expertise. Renna famously played Ham in The Sandlot — a film famously based on a group of little league baseball players — and has since become a baseball icon. When approached with the opportunity, Renna told Us that “there was no question about whether it would have baseball” in the book.
“When you read the book and you see the rules, it sort of writes itself,” he explained of the concept. “Sports and life are so similar and they have such a symbiotic relationship. You start writing it and all the analogies come to life.”
Jill Zarin’s daughter, Ally Shapiro, is setting the record straight regarding her relationship with Love Is Blind alum Leo Braudy.
“So, our relationship starts where most Jewish couples do — when my mom DM’ed him on Instagram. I swear to God it was not for me,” Shapiro, 32, said in a Friday, February 21, TikTok video. “She loved him on the show [and] I’m a huge Love Is Blind fan. Literally told my mom to watch the show for Leo because [I] loved it so much.”
Braudy, 31, appeared on season 7 of the Netflix reality TV dating show, where he walked away single after a failed engagement with Brittany Wisniewski. Within weeks of the show airing in 2024, Braudy was spotted alongside Zarin, 61, and Shapiro at Art Basel Miami. (Braudy works as an art dealer.)
In her Friday video, Shapiro clarified that she was not interested in Braudy “romantically” and asserted that they are just friends.
“I just thought he was a great character and I could relate to him on a lot of levels,” Shapiro said. “[My mom] slid into his DMs and we planned to meet during Basel [in] early December. Right before Basel, Leo called me and I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ Apparently, he’s a big talker. Now that I know him well, [I know] he loves phone calls and voice notes.”
According to the influencer, she “really connected” to Braudy after they started chatting.
“Obviously, at the time, I wasn’t looking for anything serious. I had just gotten out of an engagement and so did he,” Shapiro said. “We were both at Basel and he didn’t really know that many people because he’s newer to the reality scene.”

Throughout their adventure at Basel, Shapiro and Braudy connected over their respective reality TV stints — Zarin famously was an OG star on The Real Housewives of New York City — and the experience of navigating broken engagements.
“[We also connected] on a much deeper level,” Shapiro said. “He had a lot of death and cancer in his family; I lost [my stepdad] Bobby. … We’re both also only children and I feel like when you have a parent with cancer, you have a unique situation. We got very deep, very quickly.”
Per Shapiro, Braudy quickly “became the brother [she] never had” during the Basel weekend.
“I feel like I became his sister,” she stated. “I’ve had to rebuild my whole friend group, and he’s been a really big part of that. I think I’ve been a really good friend for him, as well, navigating this new world that he’s in.”
Shapiro further said that she speaks to Braudy — who later visited with the mother-daughter duo at their family compound in Boca Raton, Florida — on a daily basis.
“So grateful for you in my life,” he wrote via TikTok comment on Friday. “Friends that can relate on so many levels are rare and such a blessing.”
