Ruby Franke’s 11-year-old daughter is speaking out about the negative impact her mother’s vlogging had on her life.

Kevin Franke, Ruby’s ex-husband, appeared at a hearing for the House Business, Labor and Commerce Committee in Utah on Tuesday, February 18, where he read a statement on behalf of his 11-year-old daughter, per The Salt Lake Tribune. (Kevin and Ruby share kids Shari, Chad, Abby, Julie, Russell and Eve.)

“I thought nothing was wrong,” the 11-year-old’s statement read. “I felt ‘happy,’ but I really wasn’t. When I started getting older, I realized the YouTube channel had ruined my childhood. But at least I got some money, right? Oh, right, I actually didn’t, because my mom withdrew all of it in 2023. I worked hard for that money. I acted like someone I wasn’t in front of the camera, and I earned that money. But I feel like my mom used me for money.”

Her statement continued, “You all might be saying right now that my dad told me to say these things, and is using me, but that is not true. If anyone is using their kids, it’s the YouTubers filming them for money.”

Kevin was at the committee meeting in support of a state bill that would financially protect child influencers and the earnings they make via their parents’ content. The bill would require online creators earning more than $150,000 annually from content featuring children to set aside a portion of the earnings into a trust the children can access when they turn 18.

“I know I am stuck with the trauma of YouTube,” the child’s statement continued. “Even now, I can barely make friends, because my whole life I was the center of attention. But now, without even realizing it, I seek attention from others, or I feel like they don’t like me. Then those people think I’m mean.”

She added that she hoped the bill would keep “the children of Utah more safe,” adding that she knows “more than anything” about “the horrible situation that a lot of kids are in right now.”

Kevin also read a statement from his 16-year-old daughter, who noted that “as kids, you don’t realize what you’re subjected to” when discussing being front and center on her mother’s YouTube channel.

Ruby was convicted of child abuse and sentenced to four consecutive prison terms in February 2024, which range from one to 15 years each.

“You’re selling your life, your privacy, your body and stories to the entire world,” the 16-year-old’s statement continued. “And as a child, you’re involuntarily giving up all of that. You’re selling your childhood. Though there is no amount of money that can make up for that loss, the least that can be done now is making sure the child is getting paid for her work and has the right to remove it and walk away if she wants to.”

Kelsey Anderson is paying tribute to her grandmother, who died exactly seven years and one day after her mom.

“Rest in peace, Gangsta Granny 2.12.25,” Anderson, 26, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 22. “Seven years and a day after my sweet mom passed, it brings me comfort knowing you’re together again.”

She continued, “Thank you for raising my mom the best you could, for the memories with Papa Jack, and for my curls — I’ll wear them with pride, thinking of you and your free spirit. Love you always. .”

Alongside the message, Anderson shared several throwback pictures of her grandmother and a screenshot of a text message about the significance of the number seven.

“Kelsey that is so crazy!!! The number 7 I feel like is so significant and I can’t believe it was so close to your mom’s passing,” a text message read, alongside a screenshot of a google search explaining that the number is “often considered a symbol of ‘completeness’ or ‘perfection’ across many cultures.” Anderson replied, “Aweee omg that’s so special.”

Bachelor Nation met Anderson when she vied for the affections of Joey Graziadei on The Bachelor season 28 in 2024. While on a one-on-one date with Graziadei, 29, Anderson opened up about her late mom’s battle with breast cancer. While discussing her personal tragedy, Anderson said her dad had an encouraging message for her before leaving for the ABC reality show.

How Kelsey Anderson Plans to 'Incorporate' Her Late Mom Into Joey Wedding

“On the way to the airport, I was on the phone with dad, and I was like, ‘What do you think mom would think about all of this?’ He was like, ‘You’re your mother’s child. You’re so brave.’ He was like, ‘That’s something your mom would do.’ He just felt like I was exuding my mom’s energy, I guess,” she said, to which Graziadei replied: “With how you’re describing her energy, 100%.”

Anderson ultimately accepted a proposal from Graziadei in the season finale. Now, as she and the season 33 Dancing With the Stars winner prepare for their upcoming nuptials, Anderson is making sure to pay tribute to her mom during the ceremony.

“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 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 noted that she and Graziadei are also planning 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.”

Cynthia Erivo and Lena Waithe made a splash together while attending the NAACP Awards on Saturday, February 22.

Erivo, who wore HardWear earrings, Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany brooches, a Sixteen Stone ring and a ring in platinum featuring a green tourmaline and diamonds, was nominated for Entertainer of the Year and Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture for her role in the hit movie Wicked.

The outing came amid engagement rumors that sparked after Erivo was spotted wearing a giant diamond ring on that finger at the Grammy Awards. (It was later revealed that the ring was not an engagement ring, and the pair have not made any public announcements regarding the future of their relationship.)

Erivo also made headlines after she was photographed sharing a seat with Taylor Swift at this year’s Grammys. The giggling pair used the moment to reenact Erivo and Ariana Grande’s viral “holding space” moment from their whirlwind Wicked press tour.

Cynthia Erivo Explains Why 'Wicked' Is Split Into 2 Movies

Erivo and Waithe have never publicly confirmed their relationship, but it’s believed they’ve been dating since 2020 – before Waithe and ex-wife Alana Mayo filed for divorce 10 months after they got married.

“After careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways,” the pair’s representative told Us Weekly in January 2021. “We have nothing but support for one another and ask that you respect our privacy during this time.”

Waithe and Mayo wed in San Francisco in secret. “We snuck and did it,” the Master of None alum told The Ellen DeGeneres Show guest host John Legend in November 2019, while showing off her wedding ring. “You know, we didn’t make any announcements.”

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Are Wickedly Stunning at Paris Olympics

Only weeks before the announcement, Waithe told Us that she and Mayo were working on finding balance in their marriage. “Now it’s like, I think we’re just doing the best we can, trying to figure it out. Nobody has all the answers, you know what I’m saying?”

“It’s just like, OK, I think this is what is needed now, you know what I mean?” she continued. “I think as you get older and you mature, you try and figure things out. But yeah, it’s like one of those life things that you do, and you hope you get it right.”

Erivo will next be seen in the second installment in the Wicked franchise, Wicked: For Good. She will also star in the film adaptation of Children of Blood and Bone. The 2018 book by author Tomi Adeyemi debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list. The movie will also star Thuso Mbedu, Amandla Stenberg, Violet Davis, and more. Erivo will play Admiral Kaea, who is opposed to the maji, citizens who have magical powers.

Denise Richards likes to keep her beauty regimen au natural — unless Jennifer Aniston swears by an unorthodox hack, that is.

“For the exterior, I see a dermatologist doctor. He’s awesome, he’s very subtle, Dr. [Robert] Dorfman. I did do that salmon sperm facial. It was good,” Richards, 54, told People in an interview published on Sunday, February 23. “I had to after I heard Jennifer Aniston did. Who’s not going to do that?”

She added, “I was like, ‘If she did it, I’ll do it.’ But by the way, I am not one that does a bunch of stuff. I want to look like myself, so I don’t do a bunch of fillers. I do a little Botox. I want to move my face because my eyebrows are very expressive, so I want to keep all that. But I try to do subtle.”

After Richards heard that Aniston, 56, tried the unconventional facial, she was willing to step outside her comfort zone. (Salmon sperm facials are said to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin while creating a glowy complexion. Results can reportedly last up to six months.)

Ariana Grande and More Stars Who Opened Up About Plastic Surgery

“If I could do a little laser or that salmon sperm thing or whatever, I’ll try it,” Richards told the outlet. “I know it sounds weird.”

Aniston previously revealed in a 2023 WSJ. Magazine cover story that she had the unconventional facial after learning about it from a local aesthetician.

According to the Friends alum, she’s willing to “try almost anything” in order to maintain a youthful look, whether it’s a salmon sperm facial or weekly anti-aging peptide injections.

“I do think that’s the future,” Aniston said, specifically referring to the injections.

Richards and Aniston aren’t alone in trying the salmon-featured treatment.

Jennifer Aniston Admits to Trying a Salmon-Sperm Facial

“I got a salmon sperm facial,” Kim Kardashian said in a 2024 episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians. “With salmon sperm injected into my face.”

90 Day Fiancé alum Stacey Silva, for her part, told Us Weekly in December 2024 that the facial gave her a special glow.

“Do you see the glow? Well, there’s this new procedure called salmon sperm and I injected it in my face,” Silva, 50, exclusively told Us. “I have salmon sperm in my face. Well, salmon, DNA. … I guess it just gives you a glow. It’s really popular in Korea, so it’s like this new hot thing everybody’s doing and I love it.”

Silva further noted that she didn’t feel any pain during the procedure because doctors “numb you up.”

“It was just a bunch of little injections in the face,” Silva added at the time. “Didn’t really hurt. It gives you an instant glow. You wake up glowing.”

Hollywood is full of enviable high-profile romances, but none can compare to the relationship between Emily Blunt and John Krasinski.

Blunt and Krasinski began dating in 2008 after meeting through a mutual pal. During a 2011 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Office alum revealed that it was love at first sight for him.

“It was one of those things where I wasn’t really looking for a relationship and I was thinking I’m going to take my time in L.A.,” he explained at the time. “Then I met her and I was so nervous. I was like, ‘Oh God, I think I’m going to fall in love with her.’ As I shook her hand I went, ‘I like you.’ It’s one of those things where as soon as you meet someone you kind of know.

The Devil Wears Prada actress has also gushed about how her now-husband has impacted her. “Meeting John really changed my life,” she told InStyle in 2013. “When I feel the support that I have from him, I feel invincible. There’s someone behind you on your good days and someone in front of you on your bad days.”

The couple were engaged by August 2009 and tied the knot in Italy the following summer. They welcomed daughter Hazel in 2014 and daughter Violet in 2016.

Jessica Alba is honoring late hairstylist Jesus Guerrero.

Alba reposted an Instagram Story on Sunday, February 23, of her, Guerrero and Daniel Martin posing for a selfie. “We love you @jesushair,” Martin wrote alongside a white heart and dove emojis.

News broke on Saturday, February 22, that Guerrero died at the age of 34 when sister Gris set up and shared a GoFundMe page. His cause of death was not shared via the page. With a goal of $80,000, the GoFundMe page reached over $77,000 at the time of publication.

“My name is Gris, Jesus’s younger sister,” she wrote in the description. “It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven. He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more.”

“Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top. Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly,” she continued. “Currently, his family is taking care of his personal belongings and accommodations to bring him home to Houston. We hope that you find it in your heart to help in any way and/or share this GoFundMe.”

During his career, Guerrero’s Hollywood clients included Kylie Jenner, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez and more. Following news of his death, fellow celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin took to her Instagram Story to mourn the loss of Guerrero and shared a link to the GoFundMe page.

“Our hearts will never be the same. Such a loving light and talent we lost too soon,” Atkin wrote on Saturday. “Jesus gave his all to everything he did and he left such an impact on all that knew him. He showed up 10 years ago from Texas with all of this insane talent and warmth and an unforgettable SMILE. He was the first to come and bear hug you, play with your hair, and ask how you’re doing.”

She continued, “Once you met him all you could do was root for him and hope for the best for him. Truly. The whole Glam Fam all loved him. As I try to make sense of this all I can think to do is help his mothers grieving heart in this moment. I love you Jesus and I hope you’re witnessing all of the tears we’re all crying.”

Chris Appleton shared a similar sentiment via his Instagram Story on Sunday while paying tribute to Guerrero. “Heartbroken to hear about the passing of @jesushair. His talent was undeniable, and his creativity was always ahead of its time,” Appleton wrote. “He had a way of making hair an art form, and his passion inspired so many. The industry has lost a true visionary, but his legacy will live on through his work and the people he touched. Rest in peace, Jesus.”

Richard Gadd became an awards show darling thanks to the success of his debut Netflix miniseries Baby Reindeer — but he doesn’t proudly display most of his hard-earned trophies.

“I tend to give most of them out to people if you can believe that,” Gadd, 35, told Variety while attending the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday, February 22. “I never want to reveal where they are in case people break into the house because some of them are obviously very valuable now, but [mom has] got a few, I’ll put it that way.”

He added, “I think I’ve got about two awards in my house. I think I’ve got one of the three Emmys and I think I’ve got an Olivier.”

Gadd’s Baby Reindeer, based on his alleged personal experience with abuse, has earned him accolades at the Emmy Awards, Critics Choice Awards, Golden Globe Awards and more award show ceremonies. On Saturday, he took home the Independent Spirit trophy for Best Lead in a New Scripted Series.

Whenever Gadd hands off a new trophy to another recipient, he makes sure to convey his gratitude for all the support.

“[I say], ‘Thanks for everything you’ve done for me. I’m here and I’m alive because of you. Here’s an award to say thanks,’” Gadd added to Variety. “I’ve had some tough times in my life. A lot of good people have got me through them and I wouldn’t be accepting these awards if it weren’t for them.”

The Scottish performer is hoping to add to his collection at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, February 23, where he’s up for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series.

“Weirdly, I’m listening to a band called Rap Bag at the moment,” Gadd told the outlet of his pre-SAG preparation. “They’re quite obscure, but they’ve got this amazing song I cannot stop listening to. They’ve got this amazing sort of ethereal, slightly shrill — not shrill, that sounds bad — but it’s haunting.”

Gadd is up for a SAG Award against Javier Bardem (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), Colin Farrell (The Penguin), Kevin Kline (Disclaimer) and Andrew Scott (Ripley).

Gadd’s Baby Reindeer costar Jessica Gunning, who played Martha in the Netflix limited series, is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series on Sunday. Her category is rounded out by Kathy Bates (The Great Lillian Hall), Cate Blanchett (Disclaimer), Jodie Foster (True Detective: Night Country), Lily Gladstone (Under the Bridge) and Cristin Milioti (The Penguin).

Alex Dutton has quite the journey ahead of her in 1923. Not only does she have to cross an ocean in the hopes of reuniting with husband Spencer Dutton in Montana, but the season 2 premiere revealed she’ll be embarking on the journey while pregnant.

In an exclusive interview, Julia Schlaepfer, 29, dished on what kind of challenges the mother-to-be will face en route to Bozeman, where she and Brandon Sklenar’s Spencer were headed before he was taken away for throwing her ex-fiancé Arthur (Rafe Soule) overboard in the season 1 finale. “It’s certainly going to make her journey a lot more difficult,” the actress told Us. “There’s so much more at stake for her being pregnant and knowing that there is a child on the way.”

“If you’re just taking care of yourself [while] moving through the world, you can make choices for yourself that feel right, but now she has a child to take care of,” she explained. “It’s going to be tricky, especially being a pregnant woman in the 1920s alone. That adds a level of intensity to the situation.”

Though the fan-favorite character is known for being brave and fearless, Alex “has to be a lot more careful with how she’s treated and how she takes care of herself along the way,” Schlaepfer continued. “It becomes her ultimate priority to make sure that this child stays alive and that they can all be reunited as a family.”

Brandon Sklenar Teases What Will Happen to Spencer in Final Season of ‘1923’

It remains to be seen what kind of roadblocks Alex will encounter in the rest of the season, but Schlaepfer believes the former Countess of Sussex will face a reality check during her travels. “She’s lived a very privileged life,” the Politician alum said. “I don’t think that she quite [understands] the dangers that exist in different parts of the world, so there’s a lot of learning.”

Playing the “feisty woman” has been “a dream role” for Schlaepfer. “Alex pounces on everything that she wants and she’s very strong,” she told Us. “She’s been very sheltered, but she is determined, and we see a lot more of that in season 2 as well.”

In real life, Alex has motivated Schlaepfer — who jokes she would also “would run away to Africa with a man that I fell in love with after a day” — to follow her own dreams: The actress moved to Montana after falling in love with the state following Taylor Sheridan’s legendary cowboy camp.

“I was feeling so inspired by Alex and how she just follows her happiness wherever it leads her,” she explained, noting she was “so happy” working in Big Sky Country. “I [thought], ‘Why wouldn’t I follow that happiness and take a leap?’”

Now, “I live on a ranch in Montana,” she added. “I’m so happy and I never want to leave.”

Season 2 of 1923 airs Sundays on Paramount+.

Lenny Kravitz has seen all of Netflix’s Emily in Paris — and he loves it.

“I’ve seen the whole thing,” Kravitz, 60, told The Sunday Times in an interview published on Saturday, February 22. “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?’”

For those who may be surprised that Kravtiz has the time to watch a popular Netflix series, he told The Sunday Times, “Oh, sometimes you’ve got to watch some telly, man. Sometimes you’ve got to watch a bit of telly.” Emily in Paris, which premiered in October 2020, has since been renewed for a fifth season on Netflix.

Like the show’s main character Emily (Lily Collins), Kravitz also lives in Paris, but unlike Emily, Kravitz has been single for almost a decade — and likes it that way.

Lenny Kravitz Thought Daughter Zoe's Walk of Fame Speech Was 'Fabulous'

“I’m good on my own. There’s nothing like a relationship with… You know,” he told the outlet. “But right now, I’m good where I am.” (Kravitz shares daughter Zoe Kravitz with ex Lisa Bonet, to whom he was married from 1987 to 1993.)

Kravitz has previously discussed his decision to remain celibate until he finds the right partner. In a 2008 interview with Maxim, Kravitz said, “[It’s] just a promise I made until I get married. Where I’m at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that’s the way it’s going to be. I’m looking at the big picture.”

In May of last year, Kravitz spoke again about his choice to be celibate, telling The Guardian at the time, “Yes. It’s a spiritual thing.”

The following month, the Grammy winner said in an interview with InStyle that he was ready to meet the right person and was looking forward to one day getting married again.

Ice-T Disses Lenny Kravitz’s ‘Weird’ Celibacy Commitment: ‘I Love to F–k’

“I love love. I love relationships, I love that whole dynamic, and it’s been something that’s been challenging for me,” he told the outlet in June 2024, adding that marriage is “something I really fantasize about [and] long for in reality.”

“It’s not just a fantasy, it’s something that I long for, but you cannot, everything takes the time that it takes, and I’ve had lots of lessons to learn,” he continued. “You truly must be ready with anything in life that you long for. When you’re ready, it will come.”

The Golden Bachelorette alum Jonathan Rone and Michelle Zimmermann have called it quits.

“Hello everyone, Jonathan here. I have some news to share. I’ve been waiting for the right moment to do this and I believe today is the day,” Rone, 62, said in a Saturday, February 22, video shared via Instagram. “I just want to share with everyone that I am no longer in a relationship. It was fun, it was fast and it just didn’t last.”

Rone noted that he’s “grateful for all of the experiences” that he shared with his ex, adding that he met her “amazing” friends and family.

“Nothing is wasted in the universe of time and so I think moving forward I only hope and wish the best for both of us,” he continued. “And so that being said, I’m just left with these feelings and these reflections of thinking. Why is it that my relationships always end in a way that I don’t see coming? Where do I fall short? Am I not enough? Am I not worthy enough? So those are silly things to think about because I know that I am.”

Golden Bachelorette's Jonathan Introduces Girlfriend After 'Men Tell All'

Rone recalled ex Joan Vassos giving him “some validation,” noting that it “meant a lot” to him. (Rone vied for the affections of Vassos, 62, on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, which aired in 2024. Vassos ended her season engaged to Chock Chapple.)

“So I know that I am worthy, I know that I have enough,” he said. “I have a big heart and I show up. I’m open. I’m loyal. I’m honest. I’m committed.”

Rone noted that “things will get better” in time. “If it’s meant to be I’ll find the right person who will truly see me for who I am and will value me and love me and not let go and not break my heart,” he said. “So that’s it. Kitten caboodle. Single as a dollar bill. So I wish you all the best today. Cheers.”

“With a heavy heart, I want to share that I’m no longer in a relationship ,” Rone captioned his post. “Thank you all for your support as I continue my journey toward happiness. I know my person is out there, and I’ll find them when the time is right. Thank you all for the love and support @joan_vassos.”

Golden Bachelorette’s Jonathan Rone Met GF Michelle on a Dating App

After not finding The One in Vassos, Rone revealed during the November 2024 Men Tell All episode that he had moved on with another woman.

“I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity,” Rone told Vassos in the episode. “I mean, I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t have started the journey if it wasn’t because of you. And so I just kind of wanted to give an update that on this journey that I have met someone and the most important thing about that is that I’m happy.”

Days later, Rone got candid about his connection with Zimmermann. “‘So I Dropped The Bomb’… I started my journey looking for love, a love that is a forever love. A love I thought I once had but this was my second chance! So, I went all in with no walls to protect my vulnerability! I had no other intentions than that!” he wrote via Instagram. “This journey can be full of expectations but the unexpected happened and ‘The Bomb’ is the second chance I’ve been looking for! I am so grateful for all of the support and kind words from all you in the Bachelor Nation! I’m happy to say that Michelle is truly ‘My Bomb.’”

The 50th season of Survivor will pull fans into the show like never before.

On Saturday, February 22, host Jeff Probst announced the newest season of the long-running reality season will be led in part by votes cast by viewers at home. “From the very first season, Survivor has been evolving. Now, for our 50th season, it’s time for the next evolution,” Probst explained in a statement.

“Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans is unlike anything we’ve done before,” he continued. “For the first time ever, our loyal fans will take control — deciding key elements of the game, from twists to idols to advantages. I can’t wait to see what the fans choose for our returning players.”

This means fans at home will be able to vote on different parts of the game, including whether or not idols will be included, if the traditional fire-making challenge will be part of the show this year and more.

Jeff Probst Says ‘Survivor’ Returning Players Won’t Be Limited to New Era

Voting will take place before the 50th season finishes filming.

In April 2024, Probst confirmed the 50th season of the show will also include some familiar faces. “I just got an idea,” he told the crowd during a Survivor Q&A event held that month.

“Survivor 50 is coming down the corner. The truth is, we really do focus on 47 and 48, that’s what we’re heading out to shoot next, and then we have to shoot 49. But we know 50 is coming, so I am curious, is there a feeling, should 50 be another season with new players and don’t make it a big deal?”

After the audience replied in the negative, Probst, who also serves as the showrunner on the series, asked, “Or should it be returning players?”

Jeff Probst Reveals the 'Survivor' Auction Won't Return for Season 46

“In the spirit of, sometimes letting the game be in the hands of the fans, I feel like — and there are a couple of people from CBS right now going, ‘Oh my God, what is happening?’ — I feel like we should just commit and make this the moment where we decide that Survivor 50 will be returning players,” he said. “I don’t know what is going to happen after this, but I’m pretty sure we’re committed.”

The 50th season will begin filming around Memorial Day this year — 25 years after the show originally debuted on CBS. It airs in the spring of 2026.

The move contradicted Probst’s previous declaration that returning players would not be brought back through season 48. “Why would we want returning players?” he told Entertainment Weekly in February 2024. “Not yet. Time is on our side. Let’s just keep going here. And that’s how I feel about seasons 47 and 48. We’re already meeting the people who are going to be playing months from now and we are jazzed about it.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania is about to be a mother-of-the-groom!

Catania’s son, Frankie Jr., proposed to his girlfriend, Nicole Perricho, on Saturday, February 22.

Perricho, for her part, shared the engagement news via Instagram on Sunday, February 23, using Saturday’s date and red heart emoji as her caption. In the snap, Frankie Jr., 26, got down on one knee at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City.

Frankie Jr. looked dapper in a black suit, while his soon-to-be bride opted for a white sweater dress with feathered accents dotting the sleeves.

Dolores, 54, shares her son with her ex-husband, Frank Catania. (The exes, who divorced in 1998, are also parents to daughter Gabrielle, 29.)

The RHONJ star was secretly present during the proposal.

“Me incognito waiting for the proposal,” Dolores wrote via Instagram Story on Saturday, later sharing a video of herself waiting outside the church dressed in a winter coat, a pair of oversized sunglasses and a face mask.

Frankie Jr. and Perricho, who works as a nurse, have been together since at least 2023 and have managed to keep most of their courtship private.

Frankie Jr.’s family, meanwhile, has been offering insight into their lives since Dolores joined RHONJ season 7 in 2016 after appearing as a guest in the debut season. The Bravo show has captured Dolores and Frank Sr.’s post-divorce dynamic — and her current relationship with boyfriend Paulie Connell.

RHONJ’s Dolores Catania Will ‘Definitely’ Go to Ex-Husband Frank’s Wedding 

“It wasn’t hard. It came easy after all the fighting,” Dolores exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2024 of her relationship with her former spouse. “I tell everybody, ‘You’re not going to remember the things you fought about. So, stop fighting [about it]; they’re not important. It’s just not, let things go and just move on with life.’”

She added, “I remember all the good memories we’ve had, the trips we’ve taken together [and] the holidays we’ve shared together. Those are my memories of me, Frank and the family after my divorce.”

At the time, Dolores also told Us that she wasn’t expecting a proposal of her own from Connell, 50, whom she’s been dating since 2021. (Frank Sr., for his part, is now engaged to Brittany Mattessich.)

“Isn’t that, like, a societal thing? It’s got to stop.” Dolores added to Us. “Why doesn’t everybody just ask, ‘What’s our next trip? What’s your next plan?’ Does it have to be marriage? Does it have to be [an] engagement? Happiness is the goal. Peace in our lives is the goal. We’ve had that.”

It’s been one week since Prince Harry wrapped the 2025 Invictus Games — and Us Weekly spoke to a photographer who was there to capture the best moments.

Karwai Tang is a freelance entertainment and royal photographer based in London, U.K. He captured some of Harry and Meghan Markle’s sweetest PDA moments during the Invictus Games’ opening ceremony in Vancouver, Canada, on February 8.

“I always enjoy photographing them,” Tang said in an interview with Us Weekly from London after the 2025 games. “They photograph really well, genuine… They’re very demonstrative.”

Tang snapped the Duke and Duchess of Sussex kissing and snuggling close together as they watched performances from Chris Martin, Katy Perry, Noah Kahan, Nelly Furtado and Roxane Bruneau.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Best Photos at 2025 Invictus Games

“I photographed them from the start, so it’s actually nice just to photograph them along their journey,” Tang said.

Tang has been photographing Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, since before their wedding at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor, England, on May 19, 2018.

He told Us that the couple “haven’t changed” since their public nuptials.

“They haven’t changed. They are what they are, you know,” Tang said. “She’s very handsy, very touchy, you know, touchy feely with Harry, which is good that she hasn’t changed. She wasn’t the person that wanted to change anyway when she married into the royal family,” he added.

Meghan and Harry were often pictured holding hands and being affectionate at public engagements before stepping back from royal duties in 2020.

Tang said it’s possible that the couple’s affectionate conduct may have influenced other members of the royal family to follow suit.

“I think with Harry and Meghan being in the royal family for those few years, it’s sort of relaxed a lot of the other members, because every now and again you see Kate and William, not hold hands, but like a hand on the back or on the knee,” Tang said.

Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton have certainly shown more PDA in recent years.

Most recently, the palace shared a photo of William kissing Kate Middleton’s cheek in a candid photo to celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14.

The couple has also become more open in their social media exchanges. For Kate’s 43rd birthday on January 9, William shared a loving tribute on social media, writing, “To the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable.”

As for Harry, the 2025 Invictus Games officially came to an end with the closing ceremony on February 16. The prince created the event for injured or wounded service personnel in 2014 after spending a decade in the British army.

Dominic Reid, CEO of the Invictus Games, previously told Us that the prince’s commitment to the games is “unparalleled.”

“He once described [The Invictus Games] to being his second child,” he said. “This was before [his daughter] Lilibet was born, and then he quickly corrected himself, ‘my first child.’ It’s a very important thing to him.”

Peter Facinelli isn’t waiting to walk down the wedding aisle and say “I do” before calling his fiancee Lily Anne Harrison “my wife.”

“I mean, right now, it feels like the wedding is more of a party than making anything official,” Facinelli exclusively told Us Weekly while attending the New York Premiere of The Unbreakable Boy on Wednesday, February 19 at AMC Lincoln Square.

“I call her my wife. I treat her like my wife,” he continued. “So we’ll get to the paper and the party eventually.

Facinelli further explained that the pair — who got engaged five years ago in December 2019 — are “busy with the baby right now.” (Facinelli and Harrison welcomed son Jack in September 2022.)

Why Peter Facinelli Isn't Rushing to Plan His Wedding to Lily Anne Harrison

“It’s like, at some point we’ll get to it,” he continued of their future nuptials. “But every day is a celebration of love with her … right now, we’re just enjoying parenthood, being partners and when we get a minute we’ll throw a party and make it official.”

Us confirmed in January 2020 that the Twilight star and Harrison were engaged a month after Facinelli got down on one knee. Facinelli was previously married to Jennie Garth from 2001 to 2013. The pair welcomed three daughters — Luca, Lola and Fiona – before calling it quits.

Facinelli was also romantically linked to Jaimie Alexander — the pair were engaged for a year before calling it off in 2016.

“Due to conflicting family and work commitments on opposite coasts, and after much consideration, Peter and Jaimie have chosen to part ways amicably and remain friends,” a representative for the former fiancés told Us at the time.

When asked how fatherhood has changed for him now that he has a young child at home, the proud dad simply said that “every kid is different.”

“So it’s not, like, ‘Oh, I know exactly what I’m doing now,” he told Us on Wednesday. “But I’ve found that this time around, I’m really trying to hold onto every moment because I know how fast it goes. I mean, my oldest is 27. I have a 21-year-old … I have an 18-year-old who is back in LA. They grew up in the blink of an eye, and so every moment that I have with him — even the hard ones – I appreciate that much more.”

Facinelli went on to explain that his 2-year-old “gets frustrated easily,” which is something the actor sees in himself, too.

“How can I deal with my frustrations when walls get up or things don’t come my way?” he continued of what he is forced to ask himself when he sees parts of his personality mirrored in his son. “You’re always striving for things and it’s not always easy. Also, I get cranky when I’m hungry. He gets cranky when he’s hungry. So it reminds me to make sure I eat more consistently during the day, which helps when I’m feeding him, too.”

Now that Facinelli has a son after having three daughters, he adds that he’s “looking forward to that experience.”

“I see a lot of Marvel movies in my future,” he added.

Chynna Phillips is still deeply in love with her husband, Billy Baldwin, amid ups and downs through the years.

“Happiest of birthdays to you, Billy. Sharing my life with you has been a privilege and a blessing,” Phillips, 57, gushed via Instagram on Friday, February 21. “You truly are a GREAT man. I love you eternally, and yes, it’s deep.”

Phillips also uploaded a photo where she packed on the PDA with Baldwin, 62, on a beach.

Baldwin also replied to his wife’s tribute, commenting, “Truly, madly, deeply Mama!!! .”

Billy Baldwin and Chynna Phillips’ Marriage, Relationship Ups and Downs

The singer met Baldwin in 1991, four years before they tied the knot. Phillips and Baldwin went on to welcome children Jameson, Vance and Brooke in 2000, 2001 and 2004, respectively.

The actor and Phillips first hit a rough patch when they separated in 2010 — the Wilson Phillips musician filed for divorce before withdrawing her petition — only to reconcile several days later.

“I started to feel a little flatlined, like, I need more and want more, and I know we deserve more from our marriage,” Phillips exclusively told Us Weekly upon their reunion. “It became so about the children and so about my business, his business, and I missed him. I really missed him. I missed laughing together, taking our little vacations together.”

Fourteen years later, Phillips and Baldwin made headlines when they revealed that they had been living in separate houses but remained married.

Chynna Phillips and Husband Billy Baldwin Are No Longer Living Separately

“Billy and I are sort of in this new kind of arrangement that is actually really working for me. I don’t know if it’s working for Billster, but I’m very happy with what we’re doing,” Phillips said in a November 2024 YouTube video. “I just really felt like, where in the Bible does it say that I have to live under the same roof 24/7 with my husband? Can you please find me that scripture?”

Phillips further noted that she and Baldwin still often met up for date nights, therapy sessions and other joint outings.

“We enjoy each other’s company. That’s what is so hard to articulate to people: that we’re madly in love, we really enjoy being around one another, we cherish our marriage, we don’t ever want to separate,” she explained. “We just need a little bit of time apart because we are sort of an allergy to one another. And it’s OK, I’m sure lots of different couples [have] allergies to each other.”

The next month, the couple had a change of heart.

“At that time I felt like I needed a little bit of space and really felt like that would be the most logical answer, but I have reneged,” Phillips said in a December 2024 vlog. “I am retracting that comment, and I am now saying that is probably a very foolish, very unwise, very destructive, stupid decision because that’s not going to solve our problem with the allergy.”

After cohabiting once again, Phillips found that they were in a “way better place.”

“It’s being kind and gentle … and being more playful,” she said late last year. “I need more playfulness in my life, and I feel like Billy sometimes struggles with playfulness, but you know what? He’s not me, and I have to grow up and I have to realize that just because Billy is not always as playful as I consider myself to be, that is not something that I need to come down on him for.”

Jesse Eisenberg shocked his former Zombieland costar Emma Stone with a sweet shout-out during his Best Screenplay acceptance speech at the Independent Spirit Awards.

On Saturday, February 22, Eisenberg, 41, took home the writing trophy for his film A Real Pain, which Stone, 36, produced alongside her husband, Dave McCary, under their Fruit Tree production company.

“I met Emma when we were in Zombieland together in 2009 and since then I write little magazine articles and little things on McSweeney’s, and she’s the only person, I’m including my mom here, who would take little screenshots of it over the last 15 years and send me things like, ‘This is such a funny line!’” he said in his speech. “At the time, she was definitely, and still [is], the most famous I know, and yet also the most dedicated to encouraging me as a writer.”

The camera then panned to Stone, who shyly smiled as Eisenberg continued to praise her talent and efforts in the industry. She even mouthed “oh my God” as he deemed her his “fairy godmother.”

Kieran Culkin Gushes About Working With 'Wonderful' Ex Emma Stone

“I think about her not as my producer, but like a fairy godmother that I am riding the coattails of her goodwill,” he added. “And I think it’s so important that somebody like her, who is so unbelievably successful in mainstream movies, look for people like me and Julio [Torres], and Jane [Schoenbrun], to try to produce our movies with all the goodwill that she’s amassed so rightly and deservedly over the last several years. Thanks, Emma.”

Stone looked teary-eyed as the camera found her once again. She threw her hands up and seemingly told Eisenberg from her seat, “Stop. What the hell?”

The Oscar-winning actress looked lovely in an Emilia Wickstead ensemble, which featured a beaded and plunging black top and coordinating green skirt. She paired the look with black heels, Irene Neuwirth jewelry and her new pixie haircut.

Stone was at the Santa Monica award show in celebration of A Real Pain as well as I Saw the TV Glow, Problemista and Fantasmas, which she also executive produced. Fruit Tree recently signed a first-look film deal at Universal.

“I’ve long admired Emma’s versatility as an actress, fearlessly embodying every role. Paired with Dave’s distinctive comedic voice and creative instincts, we’ve seen the incredible work they have accomplished together. We’re thrilled to support the creative ambition and vision that Emma and Dave will continue to bring to projects behind the camera,” said NBC Universal chairman Donna Langley.

Stone and McCary, 39, added, “Fruit Tree was founded with a passion for supporting ambitious filmmakers and bold storytelling. Working with the amazing team at Universal allows us to push those boundaries even further. We couldn’t be more grateful to Donna, Peter, and Erik for their partnership, and we are looking forward to what the future holds together.”

The duo tied the knot in September 2020 and welcomed daughter Louise Jean in March 2021. Prior to marrying McCary, 42, Stone dated A Real Pain star Kieran Culkin as well as actor Andrew Garfield.

Culkin — who is nominated for an Oscar for his role in A Real Pain — said Stone was a major reason why he did the movie, admitting to Vogue in September 2024 that he almost dropped out due to family obligations. (He shares two young children with his wife Jazz Charton.)

Emma Stone and Dave McCary's Relationship Timeline

He recalled talking to Stone just weeks before the shoot was due to start: “She goes: ‘If you don’t do it, the entire movie falls apart. But that’s not your responsibility. You shouldn’t feel that burden at all.’”

Culkin marveled at her approach: “She was nice enough to let me off the hook. So I guess I’m…in?”

When he flew to Poland to film, Stone made sure she and McCary were even on the same flight for extra support.

Eva Longoria couldn’t resist coveting a few items from the on-set wardrobe of her Desperate Housewives costar Teri Hatcher.

“I used to steal Teri Hatcher’s clothes,” Longoria, 49, quipped during an interview with The Sunday Times published on Sunday, February 23. “Gaby had crazy outfits and I didn’t want any of them.”

She added, “When the show wrapped, I went into Teri’s closet because she didn’t want anything and it was all cashmere sweaters, which was much more my vibe.”

Desperate Housewives aired for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012 and followed the dramatic lives of a group of neighbors after one of their pals mysteriously died. Longoria portrayed Gabrielle “Gaby” Solis” opposite Hatcher’s Susan Meyer. The Emmy-winning drama was rounded out by Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, Nicollette Sheridan, Dana Delany, Vanessa Williams and Brenda Strong.

Eva Longoria Reveals the 4 ‘Desperate Housewives’ Costars She Talks To

According to Longoria, she “didn’t fall in love with fashion” while appearing on Desperate Housewives.

“They would put clothes on me and I was like, ‘Meh,’” Longoria recalled in Sunday’s profile. “There was a lot of leopard print. I’m about classic styles and comfort, so I tend to be a little more muted in my style.”

While it’s been more than a decade since Desperate Housewives wrapped, Longoria has remained tight with her former Wisteria Lane neighbors.

“I talk to Felicity all the time. I talk to Marcia a lot. But the one probably I talk to most is Ricardo [Antonio Chavira, who played] my husband. And Jesse [Metcalfe],” Longoria told the Daily Mail in September 2024.

Several of the stars also shared advice with Longoria when she was pregnant with her son, Santiago. (Longoria shares her son, now 6, with husband José Bastón.)

“Oh my gosh, Marcia and Felicity have given me advice,” Longoria exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2018. “We talk a lot. They’re always supportive and amazing moms.”

In addition to Hatcher’s set style, Longoria also sought fashion inspiration from her relatives and pals like Victoria Beckham.

“[I admire] my mom, my aunt and my sisters. I never had to look far for an example of what a woman should be,” Longoria told The Times. “I had really great role models in my family. My aunt was well-traveled and always wore a scarf and perfume. She was — and is — so glamorous. That’s what I wanted to be like.”

Longoria also called Beckham, 50, her “style icon” in the profile, teasing, “I aspire to be like her one day, and I never will.”

Princess Charlotte’s birth announcement was lost in the streets of London for hours before the public knew she was born — but luckily, no one found it.

Jason Knauf, a former aide to Prince William and Kate Middleton, shared the story as part of a 60 Minutes interview released on Sunday, February 23. Soon after Charlotte was born on May 2, 2015, Knauf was given a piece of paper with all the details the public would want to know, such as the time of her birth and her weight.

However, Knauf lost the piece of paper.

“We were gonna announce it for another couple hours, and I had this piece of paper to get right this press release,” he explained.“I’m still out there with the hundreds of journalists trying to have a game face. And then I couldn’t find the piece of paper.”

Princess Charlotte's Royal Life in Photos

To complicate things, Knauf believed he had “dropped it somewhere on the street.”

Luckily, “we managed to get through without an upset,” he continued. “But somewhere on that street the entire time was a piece of paper that said there had been a little princess born, what time and how much she weighed.”

Knauf never recovered the piece of paper, which is likely in a landfill somewhere in the U.K. by now.

Knauf also worked for another famous royal pair: the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In fact, Knauf is the aide who first lodged a bullying complaint against Markle. He later rescinded the complaint in August 2021

A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan denied the report at the time. “Let’s just call this what it is — a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation,” they said in a statement to The Times. “We are disappointed to see this defamatory portrayal of The Duchess of Sussex given credibility by a media outlet.”

Prince Wiliam’s Former Aide Recalls ‘Lowest’ Moment for Royal

The couple’s team also pointed to the timing of the report, which came out days before the Duke and Duchess sat down for a tell-all interview on CBS in March 2021.

The statement continued, “It’s no coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining The Duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and The Duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent years.”

Markle’s representative told Us Weekly at the time, “The Duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma.”

Steve Irwin’s daughter, Bindi Irwin, shared a sweet message in honor of her late father’s birthday.

“Happy Birthday, Dad,” Bindi, 26, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 22, on what would have been Steve’s 63rd birthday. Her post included a sweet throwback photo of Bindi with her dad when she was a child.

“To the world, you will forever be remembered as the greatest Wildlife Warrior,” Bindi’s post continued. “To me, you’ll always be the most incredible dad and now our family’s guiding light. I love you and I miss you every day.”

Steve — a wildlife conservationist and beloved television personality — died in September 2006 at age 44 after being pierced by a stingray barb. He is survived by his wife, Terri Irwin, and their two children, Bindi and her brother Robert.

Robert also shared a tribute to his dad via Instagram on Saturday, sharing a photo of a younger Steve holding a crocodile. “Always my greatest inspiration,” Robert captioned the post.

Both Bindi and Robert were young — ages 8 and 2, respectively — at the time of Steve’s passing. Robert, for his part, celebrated his 21st birthday in December 2024, and paid tribute to his dad on social media. In his post, Robert noted that “it can be hard to celebrate the milestones when there’s someone missing.”

“Today I turn 21,” Robert wrote via Instagram at the time, alongside several throwback photos of Steve. “I was looking through the archives a few days ago and I found these pictures of my dad on his 21st. It can be hard to celebrate the milestones when there’s someone missing, but I will carry his memory and passion with me in this new chapter of life. I am one lucky guy to be surrounded by my amazing family today. Time to celebrate!”

Bindi continues to run the Australia Zoo with Robert and their mother Terri, 60, as well as Bindi’s husband Chandler Powell, with whom she shares 4-year-old daughter Grace.

“He was the same person in real life as he was on screen, so I feel like Grace is able to grow up knowing him,” Bindi exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2024, revealing that she often plays footage from The Crocodile Hunter for Grace. “As soon as we turn Dad on, she starts doing her imitation, yelling ‘Crikey!’ through the living room.”

She added, “If I had the chance, the one thing I’d say to my dad is, ‘I love you, and I miss you. Every day that you aren’t here is hard. But we hope to be making you proud.’ I think when there’s love that is that great, it never truly goes away. He’s always with us.”
