“I actually can’t believe how perfect it was. It was the best wedding I’ve ever been to,” Hoffman, 35, told Cosmopolitan in an interview published on Wednesday, March 5. “We got to spend our wedding truly together. We love to be together.”
Windey announced in August 2023 that she and Hoffman had been together for three months. Since then, the pair haven’t been shy about sharing their love with the world. When they evacuated from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in January because of the Pacific Palisades fires, the couple decided to get married — but kept it a secret.
“It was just us two. We did everything in two days,” Windey said. “We were just going to show up to a chapel, but then I said, ‘Oh, no. If it’s OK, I actually want you to ask me.’”
After that request, Hoffman started making moves on a proposal, and their wedding journey was officially underway. Keep scrolling for inside look at Windey and Hoffman’s Las Vegas nuptials:
The Engagement

“I had a friend make a crossword. I gave him the clues and the answers, and I said it had to say, ‘WILL YOU MARRY ME, GABBY,’” Hoffman shared. Windey said that “nothing was clicking” when she was doing the crossword puzzle.
“She said yes! And we were engaged for a day,” Hoffman said. Windey added, “We had our engagement dinner at the Wynn buffet over crab legs.”
The Chapel
Hoffman admitted that she looked up the wedding chapels that “good couples” used in Las Vegas. (They tied the knot in the same chapel as Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, who got married in 2022.)
“We did some shopping around for chapels. Robby is really good at admin,” Widney told Cosmo. Hoffman added, “The chapel I found had longer-standing relationships.”
The Outfits
Initially, Windey had plans to channel her inner Kardashian with “casual leather and Prada sunglasses” — but she eventually found the perfect white dress.
“I went into department stores and the first dress I saw on the mannequin was off-white lace, and I was like, ‘This is gonna be it.’ It was the only one they had in stock,” she recalled. “It was a little tight and made my butt look huge, but it was perfect. Everything just fell into place so naturally. It felt so serendipitous and so precious and so meant to be.”
The Photos — And Walking Down the Aisle

The couple spent maybe 15 minutes with their minister, Reverend Nature, who “wore red sneakers.” Windey and Hoffman then spent time with photographer Big Nate.
“Big Nate captured our essence. We walked down the aisle to ‘H-O-T T-O G-O,’ Chappell Roan. He was directing us the whole time,” Windey recalled. “He’d tell Robby, ‘My man, move an inch this way. Now hit a pose.’ But Robby, she always has so much swagger that he was like, ‘You do you.’”
Exchanging Their Vows
The couple didn’t want to make their wedding a “performance,” Windey explained.
“I feel like there can be so much pressure on whoever’s watching you at weddings,” she continued. “We were so nervous just having it be us, too. Even our vows, I’ve never heard you talk so fast.”
Hoffman admitted that they had to reread their vows. “We had no expectations. We just had love and openness,” she said.
The Price
“Our wedding was $799. That included the limousine That included the photos. That included the minister,” Hoffman shared, noting that they opted for “the most expensive wedding package they offered.”

When Shania Twain arrived in Nashville in the early 1990s, record execs didn’t quite know what to do with her. She was clearly beautiful and talented, but her music — with its country-pop sound and sassy and unapologetically pro-woman lyrics — didn’t fit into a neat little box. “It was its own thing,” the 59-year-old singer tells Us Weekly in the latest cover story of her unique style, admitting that there “wasn’t a lot of confidence” that she would strike a chord with audiences or the industry. “What I was saying, what I was wearing, how I was performing — all of it.”
Not staying true to her vision wasn’t an option for Twain, who will head back on the road this summer for the final dates of her aptly-titled Queen of Me Tour. (The Live Nation tour kicks off in Buffalo, New York, on July 19 and wraps August 1 in Hollywood, Florida.) “I only ever cared about being as original as possible and being myself,” she says. “There is no other me. That’s my biggest power.” Believing in herself paid off. With more than 100 million records sold worldwide, Twain is the best-selling female country artist of all time. She’s changed the music landscape by bridging the gap between mainstream pop and her country roots, paving the way for future crossover artists like Taylor Swift, Kelsea Ballerini and Kacey Musgraves, all of whom credit her as a major influence.
Along with professional triumphs, there have been personal tragedies. Her mom, Sharon, and stepfather, Jerry, died in a car accident in 1987, leaving Twain to care for her three younger siblings when she was still in her early 20s. She played local gigs for money, which she’d been doing since the age of 8, when she began singing in smoky bars near her childhood home in Timmins, Ontario. “I would go around midnight, when they closed the bar. Everyone in there was smoking and drinking,” she recalls. In 2008, heartbreak struck again when she discovered her producer husband of 14 years, Robert “Mutt” Lange, had been having an affair with her close friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud. (Twain and Lange are parents to son Eja, 23.) In an unexpected twist, Twain soon fell for Marie-Anne’s ex-husband, Frederic. They wed in 2011 and spend most of their time living at their lakefront Switzerland home.
With her 60th birthday coming up in August, Twain — who says body image issues plagued her for decades — is feeling more relaxed and confident than ever. “I’m really grateful that I’ve reached so many mental liberations,” she says. “I feel good.” Here, the trailblazing icon chats with Us about doing life on her terms.

When you were starting out, where did you find the confidence to fight for your vision?
I was always like, “I need to be myself.” If anything, I was in a rush to get more and more authentic. Any artist’s greatest power is originality. I was insecure about lots of things, but I had conviction. I could see what was really good. I could see it in others and in myself. I had a lot of clarity with that.
Did you have any fear of failure?
I was willing to take the risk. I always thought, “I can go back to singing in bars if I really have to. I can always make a living with my voice.” I didn’t even know what my goals were. I just wanted to make a great record, and thankfully, it worked and the audience agreed and the industry didn’t have a choice but to get on board and give the fans what they wanted. I always say to young people, “Do not allow yourself to be intimidated.” I’ve always been quite strong and fearless in that sense.
You’ve talked in the past about having “crippling” stage fright. Do you remember when that started?
There have been many layers to that. There was a time when I did not want to be on stage at all. As a child, I was singing in primarily adult environments, house parties, bars that were heavily smoky. They didn’t want alcohol being served if a child was there, but at last call, everybody’s table is full of drinks. Most people were intoxicated. I didn’t want to be there. It was smelly, and I’m a kid, and I’m supposed to be in bed. I don’t think it was in my nature to want to be in the spotlight, and then you put me in a crummy environment and now I really don’t want to be there, right?
It sounds pretty intense.
I loved to sing, I loved my parents and I wanted them to be happy and proud of their little singer. So I was always torn. I went into this career with anxiety about being on stage. And then as all of my friends are going off to college, I’m already making a living as a singer. I’ve got a talent that gets me a paycheck… is it dumb of me to switch gears and start over? It was confusing. Then my parents died, and all of a sudden, [I] didn’t have a choice. Whether I wanted to stop singing or not, I really needed to make money. I can’t afford to go off to school to become something else anymore. I’ve got little kids at home. I have bills to pay.
Were you still feeling conflicted about performing live at that point?
Very shortly after my parents died, I get a recording contract and I’m still anxious about being on stage. I’m forcing myself through it. I’m capable of doing it. I can get out there and do what I have to do, but I cringe [thinking] about getting past the threshold [and] getting on stage. You’ll hear this from a lot of performers; you’ll hear it from athletes. Some people vomit before they go out for a match. I thought I was the only one like this. For a long time, I resent being admired. Now I’m getting big, I’m getting successful and my audiences are so loving and giving. The appreciation is pouring out at me. And the more adulation [I get], the guiltier I feel about not wanting to get up here every night.
How did you overcome that?
I realized the joy was not the adulation for me. The joy was their joy. They were having such a good time dancing and singing, and I realized it wasn’t about me at all — it was about the music. And that made me very happy. I felt like I became part of the audience. It just changed everything. I enjoyed myself, and I also started getting over body image issues. I’m so over that. All of those insecurities just got absorbed when I took on a different perspective. My only regret is that it took so long.
Did you feel pressure to be perfect?
I want to be excellent at what I do, but you cannot be perfect live. No one can because it is a living, breathing thing. I had to let go of [that]. I realized that everybody’s there for the live performance. They know they’re not listening to the record. They’re not there for me to show them how perfect I am.
Was body image something you’d struggled with since you were very young?
I was always insecure about my body. As a female, throughout my youth [I was] touched inappropriately so many times [and] I was in abusive situations where you hate being a woman. I hated being a girl. My mother goes, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and I said, “A bodybuilder.” I wanted to be a big, strong man that nobody was going to f— around with. No one was going to touch my arm or my ass or anything unless I was OK with it. I was hiding all through my teens. I hated having boobs, I hated having hips. I think a lot of that was also because a lot of the models when I was a kid were very, very thin. That was a sign of elegance and feminine beauty to me.

When did you start to become more accepting of yourself?
Once I got behind the camera and started looking at clothes and fashion, I was like, “Wow, I’m actually a woman after all, and I think I might like it.” When I wrote “Man, I Feel Like a Woman!,” it was an absolute celebration [of that]. And I felt empowered behind the camera. I was like, “They can’t grab me. I’m safe.”
What’s your advice for anyone struggling with body confidence?
I wish I’d come to this so much earlier, but I think referencing yourself to others is dangerous. For me, walking on the beach in a bathing suit is like, “What was I waiting for?” Of course I don’t have the body I imagined — because my image of the perfect body is a supermodel with no cellulite, perfect proportions and a beautiful stride. This is just not me. You can wish a lot of time away ignoring what you actually look like. Just get real with yourself.
You’re working on a biopic. Who do you want to play you?
It’s hard to say. For people to understand the life of Shania Twain, we need to look beyond the stage, and who is that actress? If we just think stage, then we’d naturally want to go to somebody that we know as a stage performer. So I don’t know. I keep thinking about who would play my mother because she was so much at the core of how my whole life unfolded. I imagine Robin Wright playing her.
You started the Queen of Me Tour in 2023. How does it feel to wrap up?
It’s like closing a chapter on a very amazing couple of years. It’ll be celebratory and, at the same time, a bit nostalgic. When you start preparing for an end, I tend to look back on how great it was. You start forgetting about how hard it was. It was amazing, but so much work goes into it.
You also finished your Come On Over Vegas residency in February.
It feels good and like I’m coming to the end of something really great. The “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” outfit is the original from the video, so I’ll be putting her away. If I pull it out in another 30 years, that would be something to write about. The idea is to at least preserve it, in case I’m able to wear it.
Do you have a favorite song to perform live?
I’d say “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” It’s a happy song, and it makes people jump up and sing along. It’s inclusive; I see little girls and little boys singing it. The joy and the spirit of the song makes me very happy.
What do you plan to do with your downtime?
It’s going to be a lot of writing and time with other musical people to put [a new] album together. Some mental break time too, because writing can burn you out. I’ll probably do some horse riding and walking in the sand and catch up with friends.
What does your ideal day off look like?
I love to be alone with my guitar. I could just write and not see anybody for days and be perfectly happy.

Are there any artists you’d love to collaborate with?
I’d like to make a project of that — doing songs with my favorite artists over time. It would be a mashup of genres.
You turn 60 in August. What are your thoughts on this big milestone?
I feel like I’ve got this pass all of a sudden to care more about myself and say, “Hey, I’ve lived 60 frigging years. If you want to do [something], do it!” Whether you’re parenting or being a friend or a sibling or a child, there are all these responsibilities. And when I add fame to that, it’s a lot to keep up with. I’m a giver, and so I’d like to give more to myself.
You look amazing. What’s your secret?
I try to drink as much water as I can. I have always exfoliated. I don’t actually buy an exfoliator; I just make it. If I’m somewhere near the beach, I’ll use sand. I believe in old-fashioned things, like a bit of Vaseline. I always thought Bag Balm was the best of all things. The cosmetic one that’s been a staple for me is Crème de la Mer.
After all this time in the spotlight, with so many accolades and awards under your belt, do you feel like you have nothing left to prove?
I really don’t have anything left to prove. Even thinking about age, I don’t feel like I need to prove to anyone that I look younger than I am. I’d rather focus more on the things that I can change or contribute to — I can create magic through music, and I have a lot I want to achieve and have fun with, whether it’s music or film. I’d like to write and produce another artist’s album. There’s just so many things. I keep saying I’m going to have to live to be 120!

The couple secretly tied the knot in a 20-minute ceremony in Las Vegas earlier this year, Windey confirmed to Cosmopolitanin an interview published on Wednesday, March 5.
“We had just evacuated from the fires. Literally cue Rihanna, ‘We found love in a hopeless place,’” Windey, 34, told the publication. “What better time to get married than right now? Because if the world is ending, we want to be with each other.”
Windey announced on January 8 that she and Hoffman, 35, evacuated their L.A. home due to the Pacific Palisades wildfires. The couple headed to Las Vegas and checked into a hotel that looked like a wedding suite — which is what planted the seed. Hoffman already had plans “to propose in six months,” Windey explained, so this just sped things up.

“Gabby turned to me and she went, ‘Should we get married?’ And look: I’ve been proposing since the day I met her,” Hoffman explained. “We got to this room and it’s like out of a mafia movie, 12-foot ceilings, a separate bedroom from the living room, that type of hotel. And we were like, ‘Whoa.’ And then Gabby floated getting married.”

Windey added, “It was nice, it being my idea. Robby was literally ready to propose three weeks in and I’m always the one pumping the breaks, but when something feels right, it just feels right. I think it was better for the both of us that it was my idea.”
Hoffman explained that it “felt right” having a private wedding after living their relationship in the public eye. And yes, Hoffman did propose in a crossword puzzle before they walked down the aisle.
The former Bachelorette revealed in August 2023 that she had been dating the comedian for the past three months before going public with their relationship.

“[I’m] in a relationship like I feel like I’ve never had before,” Windey said in an Instagram Story video at the time. “But I wanted to tell you guys because I always just want to live my life honestly and have you all along with me.”
Prior to her relationship with Hoffman, Windey appeared on Clayton Echard’s season 26 of The Bachelor in 2022 and starred alongside Rachel Recchia as the co-lead for season 19 of The Bachelorette later that year. Windey got engaged to Erich Schwer on The Bachelorette, but the two split less than two months after his proposal aired.
Earlier that day, Windey broke the news about her relationship status during an August 2023 appearance on The View, sharing that she’d previously felt a “whisper” about being attracted to other women but it got “louder and louder” in recent years. Windey added that she could “see the future” with Hoffman in a way she hadn’t been able to in previous relationships.
“She is so special. She makes me feel so safe, so loved,” she raved. “Like, a love that I always wanted going on these dating shows, so now it’s like, ‘Yeah, exactly.’”
“I do want to get married. I think it’s another level of commitment to bring two people closer,” she said. “Whether I want to do it [again] right away — I think I’m just now getting on my feet, getting accustomed to this new life, really finding myself processing all the big change that’s happened in a couple of years. So I kind of want to revel in that and I don’t want to rush a relationship. I want to be in the beginning. I want things to look forward to.”
Meghan, the Duchess of SussexDiego Cuevas/Getty Images
Is it Meghan Markle, Meghan Sussex — or something else entirely?
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, clarified her last name during a conversation with Mindy Kaling in her new Netflix docuseries, With Love, Meghan.
In the lifestyle show, which premiered on Tuesday, March 4, Meghan corrected Kaling after she referred to the duchess by her maiden name, Markle.
“It’s so funny you keep saying Markle,” Meghan said. “You know it’s Sussex now. You have kids and you go, I share my name with my children. I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to go, this is our family name. Our little family now.”
Meghan, 43, and her husband Prince Harry share two children: Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. Though the couple share a last name with their kids, Archie and Lilibet actually have a second last name, which they inherited from Harry’s late grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
Why Archie and Lilibet Also Use the Name Mountbatten-Windsor
It’s not surprising that Meghan and Harry, 40, use the last name Sussex.
As royals with titles do not usually have last names, they typically use their title as their family name. For example, when Harry and Prince William were growing up, they used the surname Wales because their parents were the Prince and Princess of Wales.
When Harry and Meghan inherited the Sussex dukedom upon their marriage in 2018, their family name became Sussex.
Speaking to People in an interview published on Monday, March 3, Meghan said the Sussex name is part of her “love story” with Harry.
“It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognized how meaningful that would be to me until we had children,” she told the outlet. “I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me.”

However, Meghan and Harry’s two children were born without royal titles and only inherited their “prince” and “princess” titles after their grandfather, King Charles III, ascended the throne on September 8, 2022.
At the time of his birth on May 6, 2019, Archie’s legal name was Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, according to his birth certificate, which was published online.
Similarly, Lilibet was born Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor on June 4, 2021, according to her birth certificate, which was also published online.
Mountbatten-Windsor is a royal family name most commonly used by members without HRH (His or Her Royal Highness) or prince/princess titles. The name is a combination of “Mountbatten” from Philip’s side, and “Windsor” from Elizabeth II’s family.
While Harry and Meghan still use their titles, they stopped using HRH in an official capacity after stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
Meghan and Harry have never used the last name Mountbatten-Windsor. On Archie’s birth certificate, Meghan’s legal name was listed as Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.
Harry’s was listed as His Royal Highness Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex.
Meanwhile, on Lilibet’s birth certificate, Harry used the first name “The Duke of Sussex” and the last name “His Royal Highness,” while Meghan listed her full name as Rachel Meghan Markle.
It is not known whether Archie and Lilibet’s names have been legally changed to reflect their new titles. In the line of succession on the royal family’s official website, the children’s names are listed as “Prince Archie of Sussex” and “Princess Lilibet of Sussex.”
They are sixth and seventh in line to the throne respectively after Harry, who is fifth in line.

During the Wednesday, March 5, episode of “New Heights” — cohosted by his brother, Jason Kelce — Travis, 35, opened up about why he didn’t think it was the right time to retire.
“I think the biggest thing is that I f—ing love playing the game of football,” he explained. “I love playing, I still feel like I can play at a high level. And possibly at a higher level than I did last year, I don’t think it was my best outing. I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and how I’ve been in years past. I just, you know, I wanna give it a good run.”
Travis said he has “a bad taste in my mouth” after last season, adding, “I love so many people in Kansas City … it’s home for me now. I don’t wanna leave that life yet. I put in a lot of hard work and I put in a lot of focus into being the best that I can for KC and last year it didn’t end well for us.”
“I feel like there’s a responsibility in me to play out the contract that I initially signed, to give Kansas City and the Chiefs organization everything that I got, and that’s what I’m gonna do, man,” he said.
Jason, 37, joked that his own 2024 retirement swayed Travis in the other direction before asking for more details about his decision-making process.
“It’s similar to all the other decisions I make, it’s just off of feel. I’m not a big measure the pros and cons [person] and all that. I just go off of feel, pure gut feeling. And I f—ing love this game, man,” Travis said. “And not only that, I love going into the building with the guys that are there.”
Head coach Andy Reid played into the decision as well. “Coach Reid has been one of the biggest influences on my life, not just in the game of football. And I don’t wanna stop going to work with him, I don’t wanna stop learning from him. I don’t wanna stop being the reason why he has success or being part of the reason he has success,” Travis continued. “I want that guy to have the most success in the world because of who he’s been in my life, and that’s the same with Pat [Mahomes]. … I wanna keep living out those dreams.”

Speculation swirled about Travis’ NFL future last month after the Chiefs lost Super Bowl LIX to the Philadelphia Eagles. The defeat capped off an underwhelming season for Travis, who previously declared that he didn’t pay attention to commentary about his stats. During the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans, Travis only made four catches for 39 yards — his worst Super Bowl performance to date.
Travis spoke candidly about his mindset post-Super Bowl during a February episode of “New Heights,” revealing that he wasn’t ready to be “making any crazy decisions.” He said on Wednesday that losing the Super Bowl “was probably the biggest factor” in his choice to come back.
“I never once kinda second-guessed it, it was always in the back of my mind,” he explained. “Even when it got tough last year on the body or when it got tough after the Super Bowl, you know, you’re at your all-time low. There’s just something in a motivating factor that you can do this and you wanna do this. I pulled the trigger as soon as I had that feeling. … I can’t say whether or not this is going to be the last year because I still love a lot of what I do for the city of Kansas City and the Chiefs organization.”
The Chiefs reportedly gave Travis a deadline of March 14 to inform them of his plans for next season, and he made the call with time to spare. Pat McAfee revealed on the Thursday, February 26, episode of ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show that he received a text from Travis that read, “My dawg!!! I’m coming back for sure.”
The text continued: “I’m gonna try to get to the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop. Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and how I got the guys ready for battle.”

Travis’ decision was celebrated in an Instagram post shared by the Chiefs with the caption, “YEAR 13.” The official “New Heights” account wrote in the comments section, “LETS GOOOO.”
Before Travis’ return made headlines, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that he had the support of his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, regardless of his decision. Swift, 35, attended her first Chiefs game in September 2023 and has become a staple at Arrowhead Stadium as her romance with the tight end continues. She attended the 2024 Super Bowl, cheering on Travis and the Chiefs as they defeated the San Francisco 49ers. In February, Swift made her second Super Bowl appearance.
“Taylor and Travis work so well [together],” a second insider revealed last month. “They’re still madly in love, and their relationship just keeps getting better and better.”
Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy has opened up about her grief in her first television interview since his death.
Cassidy, 25, appeared on the U.K. morning show, Lorraine, Wednesday, March 5, and said, “I find myself talking about him so much in the present tense. I don’t even feel the need to correct myself.”
“That’s part of my healing journey. I’m still working on accepting the fact that he’s not here anymore. It’s hard for me to refer to him in the past tense. It almost stings that little bit more because it’s more official. It’s very hard to accept,” the model and influencer added.
Payne died in October 2024 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasSur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was 31. Cassidy was in Argentina with Payne but returned to her native U.S. just days before his death.
Since the One Direction star’s death, Cassidy said she has experienced a mix of emotions.
“I am trying to do my best,” she said. “I have my better days, I have my harder days, but I am surrounded by such a great support system that I cannot thank enough. Having Nala [her and Payne’s dog] has helped me so much with my healing journey. I just couldn’t thank everybody enough, all of my friends, my family, for being supportive and helping me be productive.”
“I really am trying to be as productive as I can with not just being stuck in my bedroom all day. Doing small things like yoga, going for a long walk … I’m trying my best to do that,” she added.
An emotional Cassidy also shared with host Lorraine Kelly how Payne’s death was the first major loss she has experienced.
“It is really hard. I’ve never lost anyone before close to me so this is my first time going through this grief and healing journey,” she said. “He has impacted so many people in this world and I know I’m not alone in this, so many other people are grieving. It shows how much of an impact he had throughout his life.”
Remembering the singer, Cassidy continued, “He would light up any room he walked into and he had this sense of humour where he could make anything better. His presence was just comforting and warming, and that is something I will never forget about him, ever.”
Cassidy appeared on Lorraine to help support the program and network ITV’s new mental health initiative, March4March, noting that Payne “was so open about his mental health.”
“Anybody should not be afraid to speak out. … I know he would want me to be able to help anybody because he can no longer help people,” Cassidy added.
Last month, Argentinian prosecutors dropped manslaughter charges against Payne’s friend, Roger Nores, and two CasaSur employees in connection with the singer’s death.
Two men accused of selling Payne drugs, Ezequiel Pereyra and Braian Nahuel Paiz, remain behind bars while they await trial on manslaughter charges. Paiz previously denied selling Payne drugs. It isn’t clear whether Pereyra has entered a plea in response to the charges against him.

Cynthia Bailey is ready to share her new romance with the world!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 58, was recently spotted at Los Angeles International Airport with her new man, LePrince, a musician from the Netherlands.
“He’s a musician. He has music out. He’s from Amsterdam,” Bailey shared with a photographer in a video published by TMZ on Tuesday, March 4.
“It’s good,” she added of their relationship. “We’ve been dating for almost a year now. It wasn’t easy [to keep it under wraps].”
LePrince told the outlet that he is a singer, producer and DJ. According to his website, he is 38 and specializes in a fusion of reggae and electronic music. LePrince was inspired to become a musician after seeing Michael Jackson perform.
Bailey has previously teased her romance with LePrince, however, she kept his identity a tight secret.
“I’m very much in love,” Bailey exclusively told Us Weekly on the Bravo Fan Fest red carpet in Miami last November “You know, dating is really not easy, especially at this point in my life.”
She continued, “I am, you know, a little up there, [a] woman of a certain age, but I will say that I just said to God, send me my person. I didn’t give him a list or anything, and Amsterdam showed up, and it’s been almost eight months now, and I’m really happy.”
During a panel later in the night, Bailey gushed over her new beau and revealed that he is on the younger side. “I’m dating an amazing young guy, from Amsterdam,” she said. “I wasn’t looking for a young guy. He found me.”
Speaking with Us, Bailey shared the story of how she first met the younger man. “Well, we actually saw each other for the first time at an event in L.A. and we didn’t talk, but he did slide into my DMs a couple of days later, and it worked,” she said.
Bailey returns as a “friend” on the Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16, which premieres on Bravo on Sunday, March 9, and shared with Us that we might see LePrince make an appearance.
“You might see some snippets,” she teased. “I come back as an official ‘friend’ for season 16 and there was, like, several times where I was FaceTiming with him. They may have caught him on the show.”
Bailey was previously married to Peter Thomas from 2010 to 2017 and Mike Hill from 2020 to 2022. Both marriages were captured on RHOA.
“I still care about him. He’s my nieces’ father. He’s been wonderful with Farrah,” Kathy, 65, said on the Tuesday, March 4, RHOBH After Show. (Mauricio, 54, and estranged wife Kyle Richards, 56, share daughters Alexia, 28, Sophia, 25, and Portia, 17. Mauricio is also stepfather to Kyle’s oldest daughter, Farrah Aldjufrie, 36.)
“Him and Kyle were a great couple and we used to have so much fun,” Kathy added.
“It’s sad. I’ve called to check on him [on] their anniversary. He was on a trip, a holiday … I called [and said], ‘Is everything OK? I was just calling to see how you are doing,’” she said.
While Kathy has been a source of support for her sister since her separation, she said that the split has also been hard on the Agency founder.

“I felt bad for him too. I could see in his face that he was sad, confused … I felt this was just as tough on him. I just wanted him to know that no matter what, I care and we’re here,” Kathy said.
For her part, Kyle said during Tuesday’s RHOBH After Show that her and Mauricio’s separation has been difficult for her older sister to process.
“Kathy has been very supportive of me, but she’s also been oddly emotional about it,” Kyle revealed. “She’s broken down crying to me about my separation many times. She struggles to talk about it, and I think it’s so interesting. Sometimes she’s so emotional, I’m like, I can’t talk about it with her.”
“She wants to see me happy and move on, of course, but she’s also a little bit heartbroken that it’s come to this,” the RHOBH veteran added.
During Tuesday’s episode of RHOBH on Bravo, Kyle was seen dealing with the aftermath of photos leaking of Mauricio kissing another woman at Mykonos airport. (Multiple outlets published the photos in July 2024, one year after Kyle and Mauricio announced their separation.)
Speaking to Kathy, Kyle decided to remove the word “wife” from her Instagram bio during Tuesday’s episode.
“Do you know what I do need to do? I’m going to do it right now,” Kyle said. “I am not going to be sitting here, having ‘wife’ on my Instagram bio with him running around with people. Why would I?”
“Why am I still going to have [‘wife’] on there after seeing that? I feel stupid to have that on there,” Kyle told Kathy. “He clearly did not know that his photo was being taken but it looked like someone was taking that photo intentionally.”
“In the past, it’s been hard for me to think about taking ‘wife’ off my bio or my married last name, but the picture changed that for me,” Kyle added during her confessional.
The talk show host, 57, called out stars including Megan Thee Stallion, Zoë Kravitz and Julia Fox, who all wore partially nude dresses at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills, California, on Sunday, March 2.
“You could see everything,” Shepherd said on the Tuesday, March 4, episode of her eponymous talk show. “Zoë Kravitz graced us with her butt crack. You could see everything. Megan Thee Stallion wore a dark green gown with only matching green pasties to cover up her breasts.” (Fox, meanwhile, channeled Lady Godiva in a sheer dress with strategically placed strands of hair covering her crotch and part of her cleavage, though her nipples were on display.)
Shepherd continued, “This is where I have to put my Auntie Sherri wig on, and I say this with all the love that I have: ladies, this is not it.”
Shepherd said that celebrities should be more discerning about their image because there are “young girls who are looking up to all of you” who might emulate their looks.
The former View cohost said she was particularly upset by Megan’s appearance in an emerald gown that exposed one of her breasts. The star covered up her nipple with a pastie in the same color as her gown.

“Megan Thee Stallion, I love you. I’m so upset because God gave you a legitimate gift,” Shepherd said, addressing the “WAP” rapper. “You’re amazing with your lyrical rhymes and how smart you are. A lot of these celebrities say they don’t wanna be a role model, but here’s the thing: it comes with the territory. You can’t escape it.”
“Megan, when you said you graduated from college, do you know how many girls you inspired to go to school also? You didn’t ask for that, but they were watching you,” Shepherd continued.
Later, Shepherd added, “I’m not trying to shame anybody. I’m just concerned where this is going.”
The daytime star also brought up Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, who wore a sheer look at the Grammys in February. “It wasn’t just her cookie jar — we saw cakes and croissants too,” Shepherd said, adding that she thought Censori “looked very uncomfortable.”
Shepherd concluded by reiterating that the celebrities in question are role models for younger women who may be influenced by their red carpet looks.
“All y’all who are sitting out there, these young girls are emulating you. They don’t have security around them. They’re emulating you and they go to these parties and something tragic could happen,” Shepherd said. “These are our future, these young women and young men. I love all of y’all but Auntie Sherri has spoken.”
“Just think about it when you’re putting on this stuff. ‘Who am I influencing? Who’s going to be watching me?’ You never know,” she added.
During the Tuesday, March 4, episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, which aired right after a new episode of RHOBH, Garcelle, 58, and Sutton, 53, got into a tense conversation about the nature of Kyle’s friendship with Wade, 30.
After Kyle, 56, was spotted stage-side at a recent performance by Wade, Garcelle and Sutton discussed why Kyle was in attendance, with Sutton saying that she asked Kyle if the appearance was a retaliation to published photos of Kyle’s estranged husband Mauricio Umansky kissing a mystery woman in July 2024. (Kyle and Umansky announced their split in October 2023.)
Garcelle hinted that she believed Kyle’s appearance was indeed a retaliation before adding that she thought Kyle was also motivated by the fact that she enjoys fan speculation surrounding her and Wade. Garcelle then asked Sutton if she agreed with her and when Sutton struggled to answer, Garcelle told her, “You’re just dodging it.”
It all began when Garcelle was asked to detail her theory behind Kyle’s concert appearance. “Do I buy it? I think standing side-stage, when you know there’s so many rumors, I just wouldn’t do it,” Garcelle explained. “You say you don’t want it but then you’re standing there.”
A producer was then overheard trying to get Sutton to share her own thoughts on the matter, with an off-camera voice asking Sutton, “Are you worried about this affecting your relationship with Kyle?” to which Sutton said no.

“I don’t believe it,” Garcelle quickly responded before turning to Sutton to pose her controversial question. “I’m asking you. If you did not want people to continue a rumor about you … and you knew every time you’re with that person, it creates a lot of buzz … are you out and about and letting yourself be photographed?”
While Sutton told Garcelle that she wasn’t dodging the question by struggling to answer it, Sutton admitted that if she “were in a relationship that I didn’t want known,” she would plan to “hide out at my house.”
“I rest my case, your honor,” Garcelle subsequently concluded.
Kyle told Us Weeklyexclusively in November last year that it wouldn’t be fair to publicly discuss her friendship with Wade. “What’s hard is that I can only speak on my behalf,” Kyle said at the time. “I’m not here to speak on anyone’s behalf but my own, especially someone who’s not signed up to do this show and doesn’t want to be spoken about on the show. So that puts me in a very different position.”
Kyle continued, “With that said, what I do address is about me personally and my journey and what I’m going through and where I am at and just not addressing her in particular, because it is just not fair to. Yeah, I have to let her speak for herself.”
Both Kyle and Wade have denied they are romantically involved.

Golnesa ‘GG’ GharachedaghiHollywood to you/Star Max/GC Images
The ex-fiancée of Shahs of Sunset star Mike Shouhed has allegedly filed a temporary restraining order against Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi.
According to People, who obtained legal documents and reported on their findings Tuesday, March 4, Paulina Ben-Cohen accused Gharachedaghi, 43, of assaulting her in a Los Angeles shopping mall on Friday, February 28.
Ben-Cohen, who dated Shouhed, 46, during 2020’s season 8 of Shahs of Sunset and announced his engagement to her via the former reality TV series in August 2021, alleged in the reported filing that Gharachedaghi “approached her from behind while she was shopping” at a Bloomingdale’s outlet and “forced” her to leave the store for a conversation Gharachedaghi “wanted to take place out of sight of cameras.”
Us Weekly has reached out to both parties for comment.
People detailed that the alleged restraining order also included claims that Gharachedaghi “began recording her on her phone, hurling derogatory and offensive remarks,” including “I’m going to f— you up, you will pay for this.”
The legal documents also include an alleged recount of the two women engaging with a security guard stationed in the shopping mall who witnessed the altercation. Ben-Cohen allegedly asked the guard to “escort her to her vehicle,” however, the “toy cop” gave her “a blank stare” before speaking into a walkie talkie.

Ben-Cohen also claimed she felt “scared” for her life as a result of the incident, and phoned 9-1-1 to file a police report before she was advised by an officer to “ask a judge for a temporary restraining order.”
The alleged filing has ordered Gharachedaghi to maintain 100-yard distance from Ben-Cohen and her two children, of whom she welcomed with ex-husband Tal Bahari prior to her relationship with Shouhed.
It is unclear when Shouhed and Ben-Cohen called off their engagement, however, the pair share a distressing history. Ben-Cohen sued Shouhed in March 2024 over an alleged 2022 domestic violence incident.
Married at First Sight’s stars Madison and David are vowing to continue their love story despite their dramatic start.
During the Tuesday, March 4, episode of Lifetime’s reality show, the pair proved they are growing their romance long after the dramatic Decision Day shakeup.
“David and I are being very intentional with each other and setting boundaries and being vulnerable and honest,” Madison, 30, told her costars. “He’s making me feel really special.”
David, 36, added, “We are special. … You can’t fight fate. It’s in the past now. I just want to continue moving forward with you and being honest with you and building that friendship and that foundation. Here we are.”
During season 18 of Married at First Sight, viewers watched Madison develop feelings for David while she was married toAllen and David was married to Michelle.
While the cheating scandal is not what the show’s experts Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Pastor Cal Roberson and Dr. Pia Goff predicted — or wanted to see — both parties made it clear that they want to continue to see where their relationship goes.

During the season finale, David celebrated Madison’s 30th birthday by planning a date and hotel stay. During the celebrations, the pair said “I love you” to each other for the first time.
“I feel like I won the lottery,” Madison said in a confessional interview. “We all deserve happiness and I hope that people see the true genuine connection that David and I have is something some people spend their whole lives looking for. I’m ready for this. I want a partner. I want David, and he wants me back so we’re doing the damn thing.”
Sixteen days after Decision Day, David went as far as to tell cameras, “I want to be married to Madison one day.”
Lifetime/Kinetic Content
While the honeymoon phase of the relationship continues, David and Madison’s bond certainly wasn’t supported by exes — perhaps understandably so.
In Tuesday’s episode, Michelle, 38, had a tense conversation with Madison as she questioned why she lied about the relationship for several weeks.
“I thought you were my friend and the fact that you lied to me is what hurt me,” she said. “You acted like my friend and you were texting David. Do you not understand that?”
While David offered to leave the room because he didn’t like the back and forth over “my mistake,” Madison shocked her costars by proclaiming their love story is “not a mistake.”
“Where are my devil horns,” she joked after leaving the cast event with David. “Put me in the ring with Michelle baby. She won’t last two seconds.”
Married at First Sight (produced by Kinetic Content) airs on Lifetime Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Gwyneth Paltrow noticed a serious spike in her menopause symptoms when she increased her alcohol intake amid the stressful Los Angeles wildfires.
“In January when the fires were happening in L.A., I, like, used alcohol for its purpose, of, like, medicating,” Paltrow, 52, shared on the latest episode of her “Goop” podcast. “And normally I don’t drink a lot at all but those two weeks I think I drank every night. And my symptoms were completely out of control.”
The Oscar-winning actress noted that although she is “in the thick” of menopause and “all over the place,” her symptoms are typically “well under control” when she isn’t drinking often. “It’s the first time I really noticed causation in that way,” she added.
Paltrow also shared that she began to feel anxious at night, an issue she never struggled with before perimenopause and menopause. “There were nights where my anxiety … I would just wake up, I would get crushed with anxiety which I’ve never had in my life,” she told Dr. Mary Claire Haver.
Sharing that she’s always been a “real sleeper,” Paltrow said she was surprised by the new symptom as she thought sleep issues during menopause would only come because “you don’t have enough progesterone.”
“I’ve had a particularly bad time with it and hopefully I’m coming out the other side,” she continued. “[But] I would lie in bed and think about every mistake I’ve ever made, every person’s feelings I ever hurt. I would be up for, like, six hours. It was crazy.”
Anxiety has spiked for many Los Angeles residents these past few months as wildfires swept the city and destroyed homes and businesses, forcing thousands to evacuate. Although Paltrow’s home – which she shared with husband Brad Falchuck and was sold for $22 million weeks later — remained “safe,” the actress took to social media in January to express her condolences over watching loved ones lose everything.
“Our beloved Los Angeles… We are in deep grief for so many of our close friends who have lost everything,” Paltrow wrote via Instagram at the time. “Thank you to those inquiring, we are currently safe.”
She continued, “When the fires are out there will be more to say and everything to do. The city of angels will need angels of all kinds. Please everyone, stay safe and vigilant.”
Paltrow and Falchuck, 53, tied the knot in September 2018. Paltrow was previously married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, with whom she shares 20-year-old daughter Apple, and 18-year-old son Moses. Falchuck, for his part, has two children, Brody and Isabella, from his first marriage.
As Paltrow continues to navigate her way through menopause, she’s been candid about speaking on her experience in hopes to normalizing the conversation.
“Admittedly, I’ve been spending an inordinately large amount of time on this subject just because there’s so much on postpartum, there’s so much on marriage,” she shared on the podcast. “There’s so much that we go through … but for some reason, even me, with all the access that I have, I’ve found that it’s a very difficult subject to crack.”
Paltrow added that she thinks it’s “amazing” progress around the subject is being made, noting that there are more women who are “happy to be the face of menopause” after she rarely heard about it growing up.
“There was just no mention of it,” she explained. “When I started to go into perimenopause, I just felt so isolated, and alone.”
The second episode of Denise Richards and Her Wild Things featured Denise, 54, meeting up with Tori, 51, for lunch. The pair caught up about life when Denise brought up her dad, Irv Richards, and how he was almost set up with Candy Spelling.
“You know that a hairdresser, a long time ago, wanted to set my dad up with your mom,” Denise said. Tori responded, “Nope, didn’t know that.”
Denise said that her dad was “so intimidated” by the possibility.
“I mean, they’d be cute together,” Tori said. Denise added, “How great would that be? We could have been stepsisters.”
Denise explained that her and Tori’s connection went way back — but they didn’t become friends until recent years.
Albert Michael/startraksphoto.com
“The first time I met Tori was on Beverly Hills, 90210. Then, Tori and I, we would just see each other at different events or shoots that we had,” Denise shared in her confessional. “We actually got to know each other, I would say in the last 15 years.”
“So, you’re single now?” Do you have a date?” Denise asked. “I think your divorce came at such a great time.”
Tori noted that it came at the “right time.” (The actress filed for divorce from Dean, 58, in March 2024. She listed their date of separation in June 2023.)
“Do you ever miss him there?” Denise asked. Tori replied, “I really miss someone fixing s— around the house.”
Denise said that her current husband, Aaron Phypers, is the “only” man she’s been with who can change a lightbulb.
“I can’t imagine [Denise’s ex-husband] Charlie [Sheen] screwing in a lightbulb,” Tori joked. “How many hookers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?”
Denise added, “I think I was a little more handy than he was. I grew up with my father who could build houses.”
The pair also talked about their mutual ex-boyfriend, actor Patrick Muldoon — and called him on the phone. (Denise said in her confessional that she and Patrick were together for “almost” five years when they broke up.)
“He said he was dating you and could not see you,” Denise recalled. “And I was very jealous.”
Denise Richards and Her Wild Things airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
The first episode of Denise’s highly anticipated Bravo reality show, which aired on Tuesday, March 4, featured her hosting a picnic in Malibu with family and friends. Brooke, 47, attended with 15-year-old son Bob.
“I wanted to include Brooke, Charlie’s other ex-wife,” Denise, 54, said in her confessional. “There’s a lot of history there. Her sons are my daughters’ brothers. We are a big, blended family.”
Richards shares daughters Sami, 20, and Lola, 19, with Sheen, 59, whom she was married to from 2002 to 2006. Brooke welcomed twins Bob and Max, 15, during her marriage to Sheen from 2008 to 2011.
“I wish you were still at that unit, because I rented three there,” Denise could be heard saying to Brooke at one point, referring to the three condos that she’s currently renting. (It was revealed earlier in the episode that her husband, Aaron Phypers’ family is living in their home. She has three condos — a home, a studio and an office.)
The show’s premiere also introduced viewers to the feud between Sami and Lola, who aren’t speaking because of a boy. Apparently, Sami dated and subsequently broke up with one of Lola’s friends. Lola has not stopped talking to the boy, which upsets Sami. (The girls told Us Weekly exclusively late last month that they blocked each other on social media for a year over the fight.)
“The reason why I wanted to do a family environment is because Sam and Lola have not spoken for a long time,” Denise told Brooke at one point. “They’ve always been really close.”
Brooke replied, “I don’t know what it is about siblings sometimes just being complete opposites. Bob is more of an introvert like Charlie and Max needs a playmate, wants to do something.”
“Bob looks like Charlie and Sami looks like Charlie,” she added before an aside about squirrels. Denise then noted that Sami and Lola were sitting at the same table and asked Brooke to go with her.
Eventually, Denise sits with Sami and Lola alone — but their feud is anything but solved.
Denise Richards and Her Wild Things airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer GarnerPascal Le Segretain/Getty Images
Ben Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner spent quality time together at son Samuel’s recent paintball birthday party.
In a photo obtained by TMZ and published on Tuesday, March 4, Affleck, 52, was seen flashing a wide grin at Garner, also 52, while attending “a paintball bash for their son.”
The former couple, who were married from June 2005 to October 2018 and share three children — Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13 — appeared relaxed in each other’s company, walking beside one another while clutching paintball gear including camouflage vests and face masks.
Affleck, whose divorce from Jennifer Lopez was finalized in January, has attended a string of family outings in recent months, most recently appearing courtside with Samuel at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on February 6 to witness the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors, 120-112.
According to a source who spoke exclusively to Us later that week, Garner is still happily dating businessman John Miller as she provides support to Affleck amid his divorce and their respective coparenting duties.
“Everything is fine with John and Jen,” the insider told Us on February 12, contradicting recent rumors that Miller, 47, was jealous of Garner spending increased time with Affleck. “Those close to them haven’t heard of any issues.”
Garner and Affleck were married for 10 years before ending their marriage in 2015 and finalizing their divorce three years later. Affleck went on to wed Lopez, 55, in 2022, before the singer filed to divorce Affleck in August 2024.
When Lopez and Affleck’s divorce was announced, a separate source told Us that Affleck had “confided in [Garner] in a lot of ways,” adding, “Especially lately when things with J.Lo haven’t been so great in recent months.”
In November 2024, Garner reunited with Affleck to celebrate Thanksgiving with their children and volunteer together with the charity organization Midnight Mission. The exes were spotted again just one month later, grabbing breakfast and attending a play put on by their kids, which Lopez also attended.
As for Garner and Miller, the couple were recently seen together during a rare public outing early February. In photos obtained by the Daily Mail on February 2, Garner was seen wrapping her arm around Miller during a walk in L.A., while he placed his hand on her waist. In one snap, Garner cheekily touched one of Miller’s back pants pockets as he reached his hand into the other.
The decision to remove the title of “wife” from her Instagram bio wasn’t an easy one for Kyle Richards.
“Do you know what I do need to do? I’m going to do it right now,” Kyle, 56, said during the Tuesday, March 4, episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills while talking to sister Kathy Hilton. “I am not going to be sitting here, having ‘wife’ on my Instagram bio with him running around with people. Why would I?”
“In the past, it’s been hard for me to think about taking ‘wife’ off my bio or my married last name, but the picture changed that for me,” Kyle said during her confessional.
She told Kathy that Mauricio had previously removed “husband and father” from his own Instagram bio at some time following their separation.
“Why am I still going to have [‘wife’] on there after seeing that? I feel stupid to have that on there,” Kyle added. “He clearly did not know that his photo was being taken but it looked like someone was taking that photo intentionally.”
Elsewhere in the scene, Kyle speculated that Mauricio is “freaking out” over the photo being published online.
“I would think that he would text and say something though, I don’t know why,” she added. Kathy responded, “When people are quiet, that tells you a lot.”

For years prior to their separation, there were widespread rumors that Mauricio had cheated on Kyle — all of which they both denied.
“We’ve heard all those rumors about him. It’s embarrassing, it’s humiliating, but really, we’ve never seen a picture,” Kathy said in her confessional. “Nobody’s ever comes out. He’s not in a position financially to pay anybody off.”
Kyle also noted to Kathy that she doesn’t want to “dig” into the mystery woman’s identity.
“I don’t care who she is. That doesn’t matter,” she continued. “I need to move on. I don’t want to keep talking about her so much. Who cares? It doesn’t even matter.”
Kyle added, “It could be somebody else next week. … I have to move forward.”
