The Love Is Blind season 8 cast showed off their personal style at the show’s reunion.
While going over all the drama on the show, Madison Errichiello, Meg Fink, Devin Buckley and more came dressed to impress. Take Madison, who opted for a black Ver Luisant cutout design. After seeing photos Netflix revealed to fans of their chosen outfits, however, she took to Instagram to promise fans hers was better than it seemed.
“Guys, do we think the netflix photographer is mad at me?” Madison captioned a mirror selfie of her look, proving it was actually chic.
Devin, who wore a silky cropped blazer, was also not happy with how his professional photos turned out. He shared snaps of his look via Instagram following the reunion, showing that it looked nicer in different lighting. “How I was supposed to look vs how Netflix made me look… ,” he captioned a pic of him inside his house.

Madison — who swore her look was better off camera — showed off her figure in a cutout Ver Luisant dress complete with a plunging neckline and mesh fabric over her chest and thigh.
“Guys, do we think the netflix photographer is mad at me?” Madison wrote alongside pics of her look.
Meg wore the “dress of [her] dreams” at the reunion, rocking a royal blue Deme by Gabriella frock featuring a sheer top that exposed her bralette and a ruched skirt.
Devin had a shiny moment in a silk cropped double-breasted blazer and straight pants. He added a pop of color to his ensemble with black-and-white loafers with a red kiss mark on the toe.
Devin admitted his look didnt photograph well via Instagram, captioning a shot in different lighting, “How I was supposed to look vs how Netflix made me look… 😅🫠.”
Nick mixed a terracotta suit with a crimson red shirt as he hugged Vanessa, who stunned in a sand-colored strapless dress and Christian Louboutin shoes.
After a multitude of cast exits in the One Chicago universe, Eamonn Walker is returning in the role of Wallace Boden — but for how long?
Walker, 62, is coming back in the April 16 episode of the hit NBC series. According to the log line, Boden is “tasked by Commissioner Grissom (Gary Cole) to run a post-incident analysis following a house fire that collapsed with a firefighter inside.”
Showrunner Andrea Newman has confirmed the appearance, which marks the first time Walker returned nearly a year after his exit.
“[We are] so excited to have our beloved Chief Boden back, and the episode, titled Post-Mortem, is a thrill ride unlike any we’ve done before,” Newman teased on Wednesday, March 5, in a press release. “Told with flashbacks and unique POVs, Chief Boden leads our team on a search to discover the how, who, and why of a fierce firefight that ended in disaster.”
Walker played Boden for 12 seasons as a series regular before exiting the show. In May 2024, Deadline reported that it was Walker’s decision to officially step back after a brief absence.
“Eamonn was the first actor cast on Chicago Fire, and we knew once he said yes, that we were off and running,” producer Dick Wolf shared in a statement at the time. “His character Chief Wallace Boden was the undisputed leader of Firehouse 51 and, offscreen, Eamonn has filled the same role with our ensemble cast.”
Prior to his upcoming return, Boden’s last appeared in a May 2024 episode where it was revealed that his character was promoted to Chief to Deputy Commissioner of the city’s fire department. Boden appointed Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg) as his replacement before Dermot Mulroney was introduced as the new chief for the fire department.

“Eamonn is the most big-hearted, passionate, hard-working and dedicated actor (and human) I know, and he is like a father to every cast member and crew member of this team,” showrunner Newman told Deadline. “He is loved like no other. Any change in his position on Fire is going to be like an earthquake coming through. The vibe on set for the finale was just, hold onto Eamonn as tight as you can. Every minute with him is a gift.”
The One Chicago franchise has been making headlines as several cast members across all three shows announced exits. Despite the large amount of cast changes, NBC’s president of program planning Jeff Bader isn’t concerned about the future of the franchise.
“Cast comes in, cast goes out,” Bader told TVLine in an interview published in July 2024.“It’s interesting. Because every year there are cast changes, and every year someone asks the same question” about what’s going on within the One Chicago universe. “But [those shows] just keep going on.”
Bader noted that each of the Chicago shows has continued to find success, adding, “We’re thrilled with how the Chicagos do on Wednesday. We have no plans on changing anything on that night.”
“I’ve been to every Puff party,” Rose, 41, said on the Wednesday, March 5, episode of the “Club Shay Shay” podcast. “I’ve been to every White Party since 2009. I’ve been to every party.”
After vowing with host Sharon Sharpe to be “very transparent” in her interview, Rose said she was unaware of the alleged “freak offs” that allegedly occurred at some of Diddy’s parties.
“If these freak offs are happening, it’s on a completely different day than the actual Puff parties,” Rose claimed. “It’s not that day because every time I was there, Puff was there the whole time. He’s got the Ciroc. He’s on the DJ booth. He’s the host of the party. I will say that.”
In September 2024, Diddy, 55, was indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. A 14-page indictment detailed a barrage of accusations against the rapper — all of which he denies.
According to the indictment, Diddy would orchestrate what were called “freak offs” that were described as “elaborate and produced sex performances.” The music mogul and his business associates would allegedly “lure female victims” into his inner circle “often under the pretense of a romantic relationship.”
In her latest interview, Rose said she’s had conversations with “one of my best friends” Ray J and asked him about the alleged “freak offs.”
“I said, ‘Ray, did they invite you to a freak off? Because they never invited me and I’ve been at these parties. Why didn’t I get the invite?’ Maybe they know I don’t get down like that,” Rose recalled. “But you would think maybe an assistant would come up and be like, ‘Hey, you like girls?’ Never! No one ever asked me that or Ray J either. Me and Ray J were talking about it, and I’ve been to the party, the afterparty, after-afterparty. I’ve never seen none of that stuff. But that’s not to say it does not happen or invalidate people.”

Diddy is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, and is awaiting trial on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all allegations against him and awaits a trial set for May 5.
When asked about her relationship with Diddy, Rose said they didn’t talk on the phone or hang out. Instead, “the extent of our relationship” was getting invited to his parties.
Rose added that it’s hard for her to know what’s true and what’s false when it comes to Diddy’s legal battle.
“It really depends on the evidence because they did say that there were drugs in the baby oil. That’s allegedly,” she said. “I don’t know because the internet is fake. You just don’t know, but if that is in fact true, then that is a problem.”
According to the indictment, law enforcement seized various “freak off” supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.
“Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo previously said in a statement to Us Weekly. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. … Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Kim Kardashian and Damon Thomas’ whirlwind romance came to an end three years after they exchanged vows.
Kardashian and Thomas tied the knot in 2000 when she was 19 years old. “I used to be so dependent on the guys I was in a relationship with,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in 2011 of her first wedding. “I don’t know why, because I wasn’t raised that way. If I looked at myself at 19, I would shake myself and be like, ‘Wake up; you are way too smart for this.’”
She continued, “We went to Vegas, he said, ‘Let’s get married!’ and I said, ‘OK.’”
The pair, who have a 10-year age-gap, were married for three years before calling it quits in 2003. The Kardashians star moved on with Kris Humphries, with whom she was infamously married to for 72 days in 2011. The twosome officially split in April 2023 following a messy court battle.
The next year, Kardashian began dating longtime friend Kanye West. The pair said “I do” in 2014, one year after they welcomed daughter North. Kardashian and West are also parents to sons Saint and Psalm and daughter Chicago, born in 2015, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Us Weekly confirmed in 2021 that Kardashian filed for divorce after six years of marriage.

Kardashian and Thomas tied the knot.
2003
The pair split after three years of marriage.
2018
Years later, Kardashian claimed that she was on ecstasy when they eloped. “I got married on ecstasy. … The first time,” Kardashian said on a 2018 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “I did ecstasy once and I got married. I did it again, I made a sex tape. Like, everything bad would happen [when I was on drugs].”
Thomas, for his part, claimed to not “remember that at all” about Kardashian being on ecstasy during their wedding. “I think it’s unfair to make those kind of blanket statements because we have kids now, you know? I have children,” he said during an interview with VladTV in 2022. “My kid goes to the same school her kid goes to. So imagine him when he has to deal with that at school.”
Thomas explained he was upset that his ex-wife wanted to blame their marriage on her alleged intoxication and impaired judgement. “Because it happened in the past, you can try to sweep it under the rug, but you don’t stay married to somebody or be with somebody for four to five years and it’s just based off you getting high off of ecstasy, you know what I mean?” he said. “That doesn’t make any sense at all.”
He added, “I’ve been very responsible in not talking about what that marriage was or what it meant to me.”
Kardashian made a rare comment about her relationship with Thomas, and subsequent split, during a 2025 episode of The Kardashians.
“When Khloé [Kardashian] was maybe 4 or 5 years old, she got this piggy bank in the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle. We would put so much money in it,” she recalled. “When I was getting my first divorce, I moved out and had no money. I was like 21 and she gave me her Coke bottle.”
Kim, who relocated to a new place, added, “We were up all night counting it and it was $6,000, and it was enough for me to get a downpayment on my apartment. She gave me her life savings at age 21.”
In a separate confessional, Khloé, who is four years younger than Kim, explained her decision to give her sister the money. “She was crying in my room and I was just like, ‘I have this so let’s take what is in here and go to the bank to cash it. Let’s use this money for your divorce,’” she shared. “I gave her all that I got and hopefully helped her.”
Culinary enthusiasts are well-aware that quality kitchen items are crucial for success. However, your appliances and tools don’t need to cost you an arm and a leg. Of course, you can rack up a pretty penny from high-end retailers. But we’ve figured out how to put a chef-quality kitchen together on a budget from Amazon, Walmart and more. Check out our favorite items, below.
Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale, Amazon, $12
Even if you aren’t weighing your macros for weight loss, owning a kitchen scale is crucial to follow recipes that list measurements in the metric system. It also helps portion ingredients properly, and can even help reduce cleanup. All scales will pretty much get you the same results, so opt for the Amazon Basics’ version, which costs less than $20, over a more expensive brand.
Pioneer Woman Standing Mixer, Walmart, $129
KitchenAid’s standing mixers are cute, but sometimes they can cost you up to $500. So opt for the Pioneer Woman’s Standing Mixer, which is significantly cheaper but still delivers 600 watts of mixing power. It still has a nice aesthetic but it doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars. And unless you’re starting an at-home bakery, the brand likely won’t make a difference in performance and how long it lasts.
Mainstays 6-Quart Slow Cooker, Walmart, $20
Generally, the qualities we look for in a slow cooker are: it’s easy to clean, it has more than one cooking setting, and it has a decent rating — and Mainstay’s 6-Quart Slow Cooker from Walmart is all of the above (4.7 stars!). When compared to a high end one from Williams-Sonoma, which can cost a few hundred, we’re content with opting for this $20 option.
Mainstays Four Slice Toaster Oven, Walmart, $20
We know that Smeg toasters are all the rage, but Mainstays’ $20 toaster from Walmart will truly get the same job done. It may not have the retro look, but with three settings and room for four pieces of bread, you’re going to be able to make the same quality toast — it’s just toast.
Mainstays High Speed Corded Hand Mixer, Walmart, $13
Hand mixers are essential items for anyone baking bread, cookies or even perfectly scrambled eggs. But something like this doesn’t require anything fancy. We promise Walmart’s house brand will do, and it will only cost $13.
Invest in Quality Pots and Pans That Will Last a Lifetime
If you’re truly a home cook, you’re most likely using your pots and pans every single day. This and kitchen knives are worth saving up for, because it’s essential to purchase a reliable set that will be able to withstand loads of washes, without corroding or rusting. Below we’ve selected a few options that will seem like a large investment short-term, but will ultimately save you quite a bit in the long run.
HexClad Nonstick Frying Pan, Amazon, $179
Even though it may seem like a large price to pay for a pan, HexClad’s frying pan is non-stick, so as long as you treat it right, it’s going to remain that way for years to come. It’s both dishwasher- and oven-safe, so it can withstand all kinds of conditions. And it’s scratch resistant, so if your S.O. uses the wrong spatula a few times, it isn’t the end of the world, and it has a lifetime warranty, anyway.
Cuisinart eight-inch Stainless Steel Pan, Amazon, $15
If you don’t want to pay for nonstick and are happy using olive oil or butter in your cooking, you don’t have to spend a lot for quality pots and pans. Cuisinart’s eight-inch stainless steel pan from Amazon is currently 25% off, bringing the price down to just $15. Its aluminum base makes it heat up quickly and evenly, preventing hot spots. And while the stainless steel look is super sleek, it doesn’t change color based on the ingredients you cook it with — we love that.
KitchenAid 1o-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set, Amazon, $170
Invest in your morning eggs with KitchenAid’s 10-piece stainless steel cookware set. Each piece is super durable with a stainless and aluminum sandwich base, heats up quickly and evenly, and should work great on all stovetops—it’s induction cooktop compatible. And they’re dishwasher safe so you don’t need to worry about ruining them by accident but if something ever goes wrong, KitchenAid has a limited lifetime warranty on the set.
Best Choice Products 7.5 QT Cast Iron Dutch Oven Amazon, $70
Whether you’re baking bread or a hearty soup, Best Choice Product’s $70 Dutch Oven is bound to come in handy for a variety of situations. The thick cast iron is highly durable, while the enamel interior makes for easy upkeep. You can put it on the grill, in the oven, or on the stove — regardless, it’s going to last you a lifetime. Here’s a little secret: You can pay more for fancy cast iron, but it all performs the same.
Pick Wood Cutting Boards Over Plastic, to Stand the Test of Time
Even though most people think of plastic as indestructible, its a little different in the world of cutting boards. Over time, plastic cutting boards degrade from abrasions from your knives. This leads to microplastics infiltrating our food, and eventually, it requires replacement. But wood cutting boards last a long time and are naturally antimicrobial, too. So if you’re truly looking for a safe, quality kitchen, you can definitely find wood cutting boards that won’t cost too much.
Hiware Bamboo Cutting Board Three-Piece Set, Amazon, $16 Hiware’s cutting boards are made from 100% organic bamboo. Bamboo is extremely hard but knife-friendly and hand-crafted, with a “juice groove” to ensure you don’t spill while slicing a hearty tomato or a juicy steak. We love how hard and durable (and sustainable) bamboo cutting boards are, but make sure you don’t soak them in water, because all bamboo cutting boards are made from many laminated (glued) strips.
BoosBlock Reversible Cutting Board, Wayfair, $95
If you want a thicker, butcher-block style, use a maple cutting board for a stable, lifetime work surface. It’s sturdy, with a guarantee to last several years. It’s available in more than one size and has a hand grip, which makes it a little easier to lift (especially if you’re transporting a significant amount of chopped veggies!).
Mainstays Bamboo Cutting Board, Walmart, $11
Walmart’s house brand Mainstays to the rescue! Mainstays’ bamboo cutting board is highly durable and not only provides a smooth cutting experience — it’s also easy to clean, and has antibacterial properties. This one also has a juice groove, keeping your countertop clean, and its relatively large size gives you enough space to prepare anything you want.
Freshware Bamboo Cutting Boards, Amazon, $12 for a set of three
This three-for-$12 deal on cutting boards is truly everything we could ask for. Each board comes with a handle for convenience, they’re knife-friendly, and each one is a different size. They’re on sale from $20 as a limited time deal so it’s definitely worth getting yours ASAP. Lots of different sizes are available, too—you can get a huge, 24-inch one (great for making bread) for under $40.
Similar to pots and pans, good quality knives and kitchen tools are essential for a next-level kitchen. But, you can totally find them on sale. Below, we’ve listed a few sale items to help you prep your food to the best of your ability.
Caphalon Premier 15-Piece Knife Set, Wayfair, $200 (from $240)
Considering Caphalon’s quality, this 17% sale is a big deal.

The knob is easy to turn and the handles are soft for added comfort. It includes a bottle opener, comes in 14 colors and right now, it’s on sale for $12 and up, depending on color.

If your food storage solutions are dishwasher safe, they’ll last longer, and glass containers can last literally thousands of years. That’s why we’ve included several options for both ingredients and leftovers that will endure the heat from your dishwasher, and will never break down and contaminate your food (ahem, plastic!).
Pyrex Food Storage Containers, Amazon, $38 for a set of nine
Keep your leftovers fresh, sans the microplastics, with Pyrex’s glass food storage containers. Each pack comes with nine containers, each in different sizes and with BPA-free plastic lids. They’re also dishwasher- and microwave-safe, so they’re bound to last a while. Pyrex offers many different sets in beautiful colors to meet your storage needs (and shelf and fridge capacity).
Libbey Stackable Glass Jars, Wayfair, $35 for a set of four
Storing your pantry ingredients properly is crucial to ensure each item stays fresh, and safe from pests. Libbey’s stacking jars from Wayfair come in a pack of four, and they’re both freezer- and oven-safe. And since they’re made from glass, they’re both free of BPAs and won’t leave behind nasty microplastic residue.
Mainstays 32-ounce Glass Jars, Walmart, $9 for a set of four
Jars are a basic necessity for any kitchen, whether you’re canning homemade jelly or simply making an airtight storage solution for brown sugar. Mainstays’ 32-ounce glass jars are both dishwasher safe and better-for-you (and the planet) than plastic. And they come in a pack of four, so it’s a pretty nice deal.
Stasher Silicone Reusable Bags, Amazon, $42 for four
While the zero-waste community has known about Stasher bags for a minute now, they’re becoming mainstay staples in kitchens nationwide. Reminiscent of a Ziploc, they’re made from silicone, and can be resealed, put through the dishwasher, and even the microwave or oven. Walmart is currently selling 2 for $20, so if I were you, I’d hop on this now.
Paper towels are so 2000-and-later. Instead, wash up with a quality apartment-sized dish washer, use dish wands with durable handles, and quality sponges that you won’t need to toss after only a few uses.
Honeywell 18-Inch Dishwasher, Amazon, $400
Although a dishwasher seems like yet another large investment, it saves on water, time, and energy. Honeywell’s 18-inch dishwasher is currently 11% off on Amazon right now, so if you need a replacement for a tight space like a condo or apartment, now is a better time than ever to get a new one.
Scrub Mommy Dual-Sided Cleaning Sponge, Amazon, $14 for three
A sponge may seem like a small matter. However, you’ll save money over time by opting for a sturdy kind, as opposed to cheap flimsy ones. There’s a reason Scrub Daddy has a cult following, and the Scrub Mommy is just as good — we promise.
Lola Soap Dispensing Wand with Reusable Sponge Head, Amazon, $10
Even though the sponge heads are replaceable, Lola’s sponge wand will likely last you a very long time. It has a soap dispenser than can wash as you clean and it makes for a gentle-yet-strong scrub, working on both non-stick and non-scratch cookware.
Mainstays Reusable Kitchen Dish Cloth Towels, Walmart, $5 for three
There’s no denying that transitioning away from paper goods can be a challenge, but it will ultimately save you money in the long run. And items like Mainstays’ reusable dish cloths are worthy replacements. They’re made from sustainably materials, and absorb just like a regular paper towel. They come in a pack of three for $5, too, so you’re definitely getting a better bang for your buck, in comparison to paper towels.

LaVar Ball remains in good spirits after being forced to have his right foot amputated.
Ball, 57, who rose to fame with his Big Baller Brand and big plans for sons Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo, was seen dancing to Haddaway’s “What Is Love?” in a video posted via Instagram on Wednesday, March 5.
Wearing a Big Baller Brand t-shirt while sitting at a glass table, Ball moved his hands and sang some of the words before the camera panned down to his amputation.
“Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me … .my foot,” Ball said, before letting out a big laugh.
Since the procedure, Ball has managed to have a good sense of humor about his situation.
In a TikTok video posted on Saturday, March 1, Ball showed his still-intact left foot and joked, “Guess who grew the foot back? I did! Who else you know who has three sons in the NBA … and an ability to grow their feet back? Nobody!”
Ball shares his three sons with his wife, Tina Ball, who he married in 1997 after they met as students at Cal State Los Angeles. In February 2017, Tina suffered a stroke which left her with aphasia, a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate effectively.
In a December 2017 episode of their Facebook Watch reality series, Ball in the Family, Tina’s mother, Noni, helped explain her daughter’s affliction.
“She understands all the conversations everyone has. The thing is, she can’t speak back,” Noni said. “Because some of that was destroyed during the stroke, she knows all of the words, but getting them back out, that is part of the frustration.”

As for Lavar and Tina’s sons, all three boys have helped make their father’s grandiose aspirations for them become reality.
Lonzo, 27, is currently a point guard with the NBA’s Chicago Bulls. Drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers, Lonzo also played two seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans before being traded to the Bulls in 2021.
LiAngelo, 26, played basketball overseas — including time in the Junior Basketball Association (JBA), a league founded by his father — before making his debut in the NBA’s G League in 2021. While a career in the NBA never took off, LiAngelo has made a major name for himself on the music scene as GELO, with his viral song “Tweaker” becoming massive on TikTok and hitting No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.
LaMelo, 23, was selected No. 3 overall by the Charlotte Hornets in the 2020 NBA Draft. He was named Rookie of the Year in 2021 and made his first All-Star team in 2022 and is widely regarded as one of the best young players in the NBA.
“I remember losing,” Roberts, 68, told Us Weekly exclusively at the premiere of The Righteous Gemstones season 4 at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on Wednesday, March 5. “It’s devastating because you don’t really want to win, because you don’t think your speech will ever hold up.”
Roberts was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category following his role as Buck McGeehy in Runaway Train. Fellow nominees included Don Ameche for Cocoon, Klaus Maria Brandauer for Out of Africa, William Hickey for Prizzi’s Honor and Robert Loggia for Jagged Edge.
Before Ameche took home the win, Roberts speculated that he or Brandauer would get the award.
“Probably [Brandauer] because his movie was a bigger hit,” Roberts told Us. “I thought, ‘Maybe I’m second and maybe I’ll get lucky.’ Then, I was wrong on all accounts.”
This was Roberts’ only Oscar nomination in his 40-plus years in Hollywood. However, the actor told Us on Wednesday that he has learned some lessons along the way throughout his career.
“I’ve learned one thing,” he stated. “Work, work, work. Smile, smile, smile.”

Roberts also dished on saying goodbye to The Righteous Gemstones. The actor played Glendon “Junior” Marsh Jr. in the HBO show’s second season, which aired in 2022.
“This is my favorite job I ever had in my life,” Roberts told Us. “Because I was playing with my family, who I know very well.”
He continued, “I got the part through an audition and then had the best day with John Goodman. Had the best day every day going to work. Every day was like a vacation for me. It was so much fun.”
The Righteous Gemstones stars Danny McBride, Adam DeVine and Goodman, among others. Roberts worked closely with Goodman on set, since their characters were old friends.
Roberts was told “less than nothing” about the project before nabbing the role, he recalled in a 2022 interview with Collider.
“When I got the part, they told me nothing. They just let me go,” he added.
According to Roberts, everyone on set was “very accessible, approachable and creative,” making for a “wonderful” working environment.
“I had it made because I have a character with lots of backstory, but it’s all backstory concerning John. We have a past history,” Roberts said. “So, I just got to follow John for the pacing, and I got to play this great character.”
The Righteous Gemstones season 4 premieres on HBO Sunday, March 9, at 10 p.m. ET.
“It’s a lot,” Grant, 31, said on the Thursday, March 6, episode of “The Viall Files” podcast. “Fantasy suites is really tricky, but I think I handled myself very well.”
Grant acknowledged that he was one of the Bachelors with the most night 1 kisses. “I do feel like there were a lot of kisses [this season], but fantasy suites, I really reserved myself because when you get physical intimacy involved, it changes things,” he said. “Your connection with somebody, there could be red flags and then you have sex and everything could be wonderful.”
Keeping that in mind, Grant really “tried to be responsible” going into the coveted final days.
“My expectation was [that] I didn’t go in saying, ‘I’m not going to,’ but I had to know that this person was my person in order for me to engage,” Grant explained to podcast host Nick Viall. “At that point, I didn’t know who.”
Grant’s final three women are Juliana Pasquarosa, who he referred to as “Jules,” Litia Garr, who he referred to as “TiTi,” and Zoe McGrady.
When Nick’s wife and cohost, Natalie Joy, speculated that his prior response meant that he “didn’t f—” any of his finalists, Grant played coy.
“I didn’t say that directly,” Grant quipped. “I didn’t say I did other things, but I handled myself well, you know.”

According to Grant, there was also “the pressure and the stereotype” that came with his mantle as the second Black Bachelor lead. (Matt James was the first Black man to helm the franchise.)
“People are going to think I’m a player or this or that — or that I’m trying to get my rocks off,” Grant said. “I wasn’t. I went in there with real intentions and prior to that, I was celibate for a year. I got out of a seven-year relationship and I was hurting, so, like, sex is great but I wanted to make sure it was with someone who was my person and then we could f— all the time.”
“To me, being the second Black Bachelor means giving a voice to people that might not typically watch this franchise. They might see me and resonate with the way I speak or some little things that I say,” he said earlier this month. “Sometimes in culture, it’s not looked at as cool to be really smart. I want people to see that and be like, “OK, you could be a Black man and you can take your education seriously.” I just want to be a role model. What excites me is people seeing my story — my life struggle, everything I’ve been through that led me to be the man that I am.”
“I, honestly, was 100 percent sure because that’s what I came there for,” Grant shared in his exclusive Us cover story earlier this month. “I knew I was going to make things work.”
The cast of Southern Hospitality sure knows how to celebrate prom — in dramatic fashion.
In an exclusive sneak peek of the Thursday, March 6, season 3 finale of Bravo’s reality show, Emmy Sharrett hosts a dance party for her friends and coworkers from Republic. Instead of dancing the night away, however, her boyfriend, Will Kulp, continues to be the talk of the group.
“Austin [Stephan] shows up here and he’s like, ‘Well Will’s been on the phone all day, calling around having conversations with people,’” Michols Peña tells Will and Emmy. “He said you were calling around and because of that, she’s not here — his girlfriend.”
Earlier in the season, Austin claimed that his girlfriend’s brother attends the same law school as Will. While studying, he heard Will has been unfaithful to Emmy — claims Will has strongly denied all season long.
While attempting to celebrate prom with his girlfriend, Will confirms that he did reach out to someone in hopes of getting closure.
“I texted one person saying, ‘If you don’t want to be involved in this, let me know because it seems like Austin is involving you,’” Will shares in the clip. “I just wanted to hear what he had to say.”
According to Emmy, any and all allegations of cheating are false.
“He said, ‘None of it is true. I can’t believe this,’” she recalls. “He denied everything.”
Will also reiterated he’s been a good boyfriend by adding, “It’s so attenuated from any sort of reality that I don’t want to even give it a breath of air.”
Ultimately, the cast still has plenty of questions about Will and Emmy’s relationship that has been documented since season 1.

In a preview for the reunion show, which also airs Thursday night on Bravo, host Andy Cohen questions where Will is at the taping by asking, “So, he’s quitting the show?”
The cast also demands answers about what’s really going on between Emmy and Will.
“I think Emmy and Will have some things they need to answer for and that’s unfortunate,” Bradley Carter previously told Us at the Us Weekly + Pluto TV Reality Stars of the Year Party in October 2024. “But we love them both and wish them nothing but the best.”
The season finale of Southern Hospitality airs on Bravo Thursday at 9 p.m. ET followed by the dramatic reunion special. Both episodes can also be streamed the next day on Peacock.
When 25-year-old Breanna Nix stood in front of the American Idol judges, she had the support of her family with her.
As her husband played the piano for audition in a teaser for the Sunday, March 9, season premiere, her son Emerson sat on new judge and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood’s lap. When asked about herself, Nix told the judges she was “just a stay-at-home mom.”
“Never say ‘I’m just a stay-at-home,’” Underwood, 41, told Nix. “That’s such a major job. You have the most important job.”
Nix did what few are confident enough to do, singing Underwood’s song “Jesus, Take the Wheel” in front of Underwood.
As Nix sang for Underwood and fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, her son nodded off in Underwood’s lap, making Underwood emotional.
“Luke,” Underwood said through tears after Nix finished singing. “You OK over there?” Bryan asked.
“I’m sorry. He’s just adorable and sweet,” Underwood, who is a mom of two, said.
Underwood wasn’t the only one left in tears while watching the audition. Fans in the comments section of the teaser video noted that they got emotional as well.

“Not the baby falling asleep in Carrie’s arms listening to his beautiful momma singing while dad plays the piano! My heart just melted and I actually cried! Congratulations,” one comment read.
“Watching him sleep to his mommas voice was the best thing I’ve seen on the internet in awhile,” another added.
“So beautiful!! Well done! I loved Carrie’s reminder of how important motherhood is. It is the hardest, but most rewarding calling to raise beautiful human beings. Be proud of that,” wrote another.
Also in the comments section, Nix called that time in the spotlight “the scariest…but BEST moment of my life!!!!!! .”
“I’ll never ever forget this,” she added. “Don’t forget to tune in March 9th to see if I got that golden ticket!!!!”
“Thank you guys so so much,” Nix concluded. “I really appreciate everyone, & I am truly so humbled for this opportunity.”
Underwood herself once stood where Nix was standing 20 years ago. This is the singer’s first year judging on the show since winning it in 2005 at 22 years old.
American Idol premieres on ABC Sunday, March 9, at 8 p.m. ET.
These days, eggs are considered a hot commodity. With such a limited supply, grocery stores haven’t been able to keep them in stock, and when you do find a dozen, they can be pretty pricey (some even cost upwards of $13 per carton!). If eggs used to be your primary source of protein in the morning, there’s no need to panic. Shoppers have started using this meat substitute to solve their breakfast woes and up their daily protein intake.
Eat Meati is a plant-based meat alternative that offers a realistic meaty flavor and texture. It’s the perfect way to get the protein you need also works for those who eat a vegan diet. The brand’s breakfast patties have become a mealtime staple for many. Each one is packed with protein (8 grams per patty) and has similar textures to real breakfast meats. Meati’s hero ingredient is mycelium, which has a root-like structure and gives its food that “meat” feel. Aside from offering protein, the brand’s products are clean and filled with fiber, B vitamins and other essential components of a healthy diet. The good news is that, unlike eggs, there’s no worry of shortage here — Meati notes that mycelium grows remarkably fast in the soil of a forest or field, making it an abundant source.
Aside from breakfast patties, Meati is also available in cutlets, classic steak and carne asada, and fans enjoy how easy each one is to make for breakfast or dinner.
“So love this product!” an impressed shopper wrote. “As a plant-based chef, I’m always looking for new products to try in my kitchen. This product here is a game changer!!! So far I have made birria tacos that came out amazing and I made a steak salad which was to moist and delicious!!!!”
“I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and texture of Meati,” said another. “It tasted very similar to real meat and was very satisfying.”
Vegans who struggle to find realistic meat substitutes also sing the products’ praises.
“I’ve tried a lot of plant-based meats, but Meati is by far the best,” one person admitted. “It has an authentic meaty flavor and texture.”
Next time you’re out of eggs, head to your local grocery store to pick up a few options from Meati. The “meats” are sold at Whole Foods, Harris Teeter and more!
Bravo stars had a score to settle during The Traitors reunion after most of them were eliminated very early into season 3.
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly while promoting her, Teresa Giudice and Shannon Beador’s upcoming Fans at Sea Wives on the Waves cruise, Dolores Catania hinted that her fellow Bravolebrities had issues they wanted to address.
“The Bravo people are not gamers. I don’t know why [the other contestants] felt the need to kill all my friends off,” she noted. “They should have left them there because they had no idea what they were doing. And Chanel [Ayan] is mad. She’s so mad. Dorinda [Medley] is so mad.”
Dolores, 54, noted that her fellow reality stars went “guns blazing” into the special, adding, “I feel sorry for those Traitors when they match up with the Housewives at the reunion. They’re in trouble.”
Inspired by Dutch series De Verraders, The Traitors brings together celebrities, especially reality TV stars from different franchises — including Survivor, Big Brother, Real Housewives and more — as they compete in a mafia-style game for up to $250,000. Despite having a mix of familiar faces from various shows, Bravo personalities have usually not lasted long because the other Faithfuls would banish them out of fear of a secret alliance.
Dolores, however, pointed out that she “didn’t really know the game that well” when she joined season 3. She also proved the claims of a Bravo alliance wrong after voting to banish Vanderpump Rules‘ Tom Sandoval multiple times — even though it was obvious he wasn’t a Traitor.
“When I watched it, I was like, ‘Why did I do that?’ Dolores told Us about how she regretted wasting her vote on Sandoval, 42. “But listen, it is what it is. You can’t take things back in this world — as we all know. Once it’s out there, it’s out there.”
Dolores also pointed out that Sandoval had it out for her first.
“It’s the stupid thing to do because everyone knows I’m the utmost faithful. There’s not a lot of time to get rid of the Traitors that are there. So Tom is coming for me, and then I emotionally vote,” she explained. “So I go after him because emotions don’t travel in rational channels — as we all know. I go for him instead.”
“But hey, maybe he could have been a traitor. I didn’t know at the time. We know Tom can be a traitor,” she said, referring to his cheating scandal with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.
After various twists and turns, Dolores ultimately made it to the Thursday, March 6, finale. It remains to be seen whether she actually won the entire show, but in addition to appearing on The Traitors finale and reunion, Dolores will be sailing off with her fellow Housewives and fans for the Wives on the Waves cruise from September 19 to 24. The five-day trip, which will take place on the new Norwegian Cruise Line Escape ship, embarks from New York City and stops in Bermuda. Packages for the Wives on the Waves cruise, planned by Fans at Sea, start at $900.
“I’m looking forward to the bonfire on the Pink Beach. And just like me, I’m like, ‘Oh, kumbaya this is so nice.’ And bringing everyone together — I just can’t wait,” Dolores told Us. “I want people to know that even a lot of people have a trepidation about going away by themselves. And this is not going to be the type of trip that you can’t do if you come — just come with yourself, bring your bags. A lot of single people are coming, and it’s just a fun time to get together and meet people that are like you.”
New episodes of The Traitors will be released on Peacock Thursdays until March 6.
“Interviewing Megan Thee Stallion was a dream of mine. I love her music and It’s my go to whenever I need to boost my confidence before a show,” Berner, 33, shared in an Instagram Story statement on Thursday, March 6. “Looking back. at the interview, I wish I used any other word except ‘fight’ to describe how her songs impact me.”
The Summer House alum continued, “It was a careless choice of words and though there was no ill intent, I recognize and acknowledge that what I said has a deeper meaning and I am so sorry to Megan. I appreciate everyone who brought this to my attention.”
Berner interviewed Megan, 30, alongside “Giggly Squad” podcast cohost and former Summer House costar Paige DeSorbo on the Vanity Fair Oscars red carpet on Sunday, March 2.
“I start my day with you and only you,” DeSorbo, 32, said. Berner added, “No, your music has literally — when I want to fight someone, I listen to your music.”
Megan responded, “Because you want to throw that fighting s— out the window and you want to get cute and be a bad bitch.”
“When people are talking s—, I go, ‘Turn on Megan Thee Stallion!’” Berner added, noting that she was a huge fan of Megan’s In Her Words documentary, which premiered via Prime Video in October 2024.
Fans were quick to criticize Berner’s choice of words on social media, with some Reddit users calling out the racist undertones in Berner’s comments.
“It’s just super disappointing and disrespectful to see the blatant racism in such public spaces,” one person wrote. “Especially by these influencers who just love to ignore any sort of criticism or refuse to take any level of accountability for their words.”

Another added, ‘Megan has a lyric in one of her songs that quite literally says ‘bitch do it look like I fight?’. I remember seeing an interview where she said something along the lines of she’s too pretty to fight (which is correct).”
In a March 2020 interview Megan did with Genius, breaking down the lyrics to her song “B.I.T.C.H.,” she explained why she doesn’t believe in physical violence.
“Have I beat somebody’s ass for a man? No. Oh, my God let me tell you fighting is so ugly,” Megan said at the time. “Look, nails long. Girls is paying $80 to get their nails done. … Do you know nails just go up.”
She continued, “Bitch, you want to fight me with these expensive ass nails on? No.”
Rudy Pankow and Madison Bailey became close friends before playing love interests — JJ and Kiara — on Outer Banks.
The Netflix series, which debuted in 2020, follows the conflict between two groups of teenagers in a coastal North Carolina town. The social divide is introduced through the Kooks a.k.a the wealthy residents and the working class, who are also known as the Pogues. The search for a lost treasure causes the groups to be even more at odds while a found family forms between the Pogues at the center of the show.
Outer Banks has primarily filmed in South Carolina, which gave the cast an opportunity to develop a bond. Bailey and Pankow, along with Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Jonathan Daviss, Carlacia Grant, Drew Starkey and Austin North have often discussed how working on the show brought them all closer together.
“We spent so much time working together. It was really great because the entire cast all lived in the same apartment complex,” Stokes told Nylon in 2020. “On the weekends everybody would come over, play games, blast music, eat food. We had a lot of time collectively as a cast to really sink our teeth into. It was kind of this natural organic thing for everybody.”
Pankow and Bailey, however, caught everyone’s eye not only because of the scenes between their characters. The pair often posted photos and videos together while spending time on — and off — set.
“We both have this rambunctious energy to do random things and say random things all the time and not take anything too seriously,” Bailey shared with Pop Sugar in 2020. “Based off that, we vibed immediately because we were just joking around and having a good time.”
As Outer Banks found more success, the demand for their fictional characters to get together became very strong. Fans got what they wished for in season 3 when JJ and Kiara finally got together after two seasons of build-up. That didn’t last long though thanks to a time jump and the shocking decision to kill JJ off at the end of season 4.
Pankow and Bailey’s dynamic was called into question after his departure from the show. Some fans pointed to social media activity that hinted at a divide between the cast’s significant others (Pankow is dating Elaine Siemek, while Bailey has been in a long term relationship with Mariah Linney since 2020.) Others have noticed that Bailey and Pankow didn’t do any joint press to promote their characters getting together, which was a departure from how Stokes and Cline (and Daviss and Grant) approached their respective romantic arcs on screen.
Several romantic JJ and Kiara scenes that went viral after fans pointed out that stunt doubles were seemingly used instead of Bailey and Pankow during pivotal moments. Neither Bailey nor Pankow have previously addressed their friendship status. They have been photographed together at promotional events for the show alongside their fellow costars.
Keep scrolling to see the sweetest moments from Pankow and Bailey’s friendship before his exit from Outer Banks:
The first season of Outer Banks introduced Kiara and JJ as best friends. While it was obvious that JJ had a crush on Kiara, the timing wasn't right — yet.
"I can always count on @rudeth to make post pro just as fun as filming 😂🤍," Bailey wrote alongside a video of her sitting on Pankow's shoulders.
During an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Bailey revealed she knew of Pankow through a mutual friend but they didn't meet in person until a run-in on a plane to South Carolina. Pankow was on his way to start filming while Bailey was going for an Outer Banks callback. Pankow reached out to Bailey on the plane after they briefly greeted each other.
"I had a DM from him," she recalled. "He was like, 'I knew you were Kiara the second I saw you.' And I was like, 'Oh my God, did this guy three seats up really just DM me?' He went and found our mutuals, found my page, and messaged me."
The costars enjoyed goofing off while filming season 1 of the hit Netflix series.
Pankow shared his thoughts about JJ and Kiara's future after the show debuted, exclusively telling Us Weekly, "I think it's cute. I don't think it should happen immediately in season 2. And I know some people would be a little mad at me for saying that, but I think just to have Kiara go from John B to Pope to then JJ within two seasons would be a little like she wants all three of them. So I think it'd be a little much."
He continued: "But I think the end game, the end game of the Outer Banks, I can see JJ and Kiara being like, 'All right there's something here.' Because it starts out with JJ saying that he had tried getting with Kiara. So, who knows?"
Pankow and Bailey reunited with the rest of the Outer Banks cast for season 2. The actress later spoke with Us about getting to work with Pankow on Kiara and JJ's onscreen journey.
"I'm on the edge of my seat with where the writers are going to take this. I'm honestly so passionate about Outer Banks," she shared. "I feel like they can't go wrong with the story line anywhere, and if me and Rudy teamed up as actors, I think [it] will be really sick."
During the third season, Pankow and Bailey played up Kiara and JJ's undeniable chemistry. They even won the coveted Best Kiss category at the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards for their performance.
Bailey got emotional while reflecting on Pankow's journey on — and exit from — Outer Banks, saying, “We all read the character on the page and we know what you brought to it. And you turned it out and really made something of it and paid respect to the depth of the character while bringing a lightheartedness that the show desperately needed.”
Travis then removed his baseball cap, revealing his pushed back caramel strands, which he’s been growing out. “Maybe just a little,” he playfully admitted, tossing his strands around.
“Look at that hair,” Jason gushed. “Gosh. I can’t believe you haven’t started balding.”
Travis then asked his brother what he was talking about because their Kelce bloodline has such luscious locks.
Jason then shared that he noticed his own mane is “getting thin up there.”

“I’m balding, Travis,” he said, prompting his brother to ask “where” he was talking about, because Jason still has thick tresses. Jason then tilted his head down for the camera to see the top of his scalp.
“That’s just a widow’s peak,” Travis reassured his brother. “You’re good up top.”
Jason then explained that his locks were “going in” through the middle of his head, which prompted Travis to ask whether that was why he started pushing his strands to the side.
“I don’t do s— to my hair,” Jason quipped. “I just wake up.”
Travis has been growing out his hair, which he previously always wore cut short, after his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, encouraged him to. His Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes shared that Swift, 35, was the mastermind behind Travis’ new look while chatting with Bruce Murray and Alex Smith on an August 2024 episode of their SiriusXM NFL Radio show.
Sierra Hull.Bethany Brook Showalter and Spencer Showalter
Sierra Hull has been recording music since she was a teenager, but for her latest album, she got to try something totally new: being an independent artist.
“Unlike most people’s stories, mine kind of feels a little bit backwards because I started so young,” Hull, 33, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the release of her new album, A Tip Toe High Wire. “But I signed with [Rounder Records] when I was 13, so I never really have done the independent thing.”
For most artists, the trajectory follows the opposite path: grind it out on your own, then hope that a label takes notice and writes you a big check. Instead, Hull, now on her fifth album, is finally finding out what it means to be in control of every part of the process.
“I felt like I owed it to myself to go through this journey,” she explained. “It’s scary, but it’s also really empowering. … When you’re independent, you’re able to oversee the whole thing in a different way. And yeah, it’s a little intimidating, but also empowering to know that in the long run, this is music that will forever be mine. I’ll have ownership of it for as long as I choose.”
A Tip Toe High Wire is perhaps Hull’s most eclectic album yet, blending traditional bluegrass with contemporary folk, country and Americana sounds. Finding that perfect mix is something that happened in part by working independently — she’s quick to note that “it still takes a village” to produce an album and plan a tour, but she’s now able to be more intentional about her decisions.
Her last album, 25 Trips, dropped in February 2020, so by the time she was able to tour it, she felt like she “was already in a new chapter of inspiration.” Taking a breather after completing her contract with Rounder allowed Hull to really think about what she wanted to do next. She started recording some of the songs on A Tip Toe High Wire as far back as 2021 without knowing where they might end up.
“Being in the independent space gave me the freedom to go ahead and just start recording, because why not?” she recalled. “I could just do it when I felt like it and not have to worry about, ‘Oh, can we get the funding for this? Or do we wanna have a plan for this?’ It was sort of like, ‘I’m gonna capture this moment in time with these musicians.’”
Sierra Hull.Bethany Brook Showalter and Spencer Showalter
She also knew she wanted to stretch herself beyond what she’d done before. “I grew up this bluegrass girl here in Tennessee in a small town, and being a mandolin player, traditional bluegrass is my heart and soul and forever will be,” she explained. “But I’ve always had this desire to explore outside those walls too and try to push the boundaries of what the instrument does.”
So there are instrumental jams like “Lord, That’s a Long Way” — named for a phrase coined by her husband’s late grandma — as well as harder-to-classify bangers like “Let’s Go,” a duet with Aoife O’Donovan. On “Come Out of My Blues,” Hull deliberately mixed old school and new school, enlisting her bandmate to play clawhammer banjo while using a progressive split tuning on her mandolin.
“This record, I felt like I was stepping out in this new space but trying to juggle in one hand my roots — my traditional lover of a simple song — and the effectiveness of something that’s very lyric-forward and isn’t overly complex,” Hull told Us. “But also there’s other things on the record that I was trying to search for something that would feel new and interesting for me in this new space that I’m in and not be afraid to explore that.”
The album’s title, A Tip Toe High Wire, reflects that attempt to balance the old and new. The name comes from a lyric in the track “Spitfire,” which Hull wrote about her late grandmother, whose spirit permeates the whole LP.
“She was this fiery woman who wasn’t scared of anything, it didn’t seem like,” Hull said. “The songs can feel a little sad and raw, but it’s sort of about the hardships and tragedies that she went through. The undertone is the celebration of her resilience and her fearlessness to just move forward in life regardless of what’s going on. So in thinking about this record and this new chapter of moving into the independent space and doing things for the first time, that lyric kept sticking out to me, a tip toe high wire.”
Hull has been incorporating many of the album’s songs into her setlist, but she’s excited for fans to hear the rest of them this spring and summer. Following her solo dates, she’ll be hitting the road with the legendary Willie Nelson for his Outlaw Music Festival tour, which also features Bob Dylan and Billy Strings.
“The vibe is so fun, and getting to see Willie each night — I mean, he’s still sounding good as ever,” she said, recalling earlier Outlaw dates she played with Sturgill Simpson. “It’s just amazing, the trajectory of his career from being this young guy till now. He’s stayed relevant and beloved. So what an honor to get to join some dates with him.”
And this time, she’ll be doing it on her own terms: “This record is about stepping out and trying to be bold — and fearless of this new chapter.”
David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff has died at age 62.
Bach-Hasselhoff died by suicide, according to the L.A. County Medical Examiner. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that paramedics were called to Bach-Hasselhoff’s house in response to a report of an unconscious female after 10 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5. (TMZ was the first to break the news.)
The outlet noted that family had not heard from her and wanted to check in on her. She was pronounced dead at the scene. There was reportedly no note.
Hasselhoff mourned the loss of his ex-wife in a statement to TMZ. “Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,” he said. “We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time but we kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time.”
Us Weekly reached out to Hasselhoff’s rep and LAPD for comment.
After Hasselhoff and Bach-Hasselhoff met on the set of Knight Rider when she was a guest star, the pair tied the knot in 1989 before splitting in 2006. The exes share daughters Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32.

After their divorce was finalized, Bach-Hasselhoff told The Associated Press, “I’ve always loved him and always will, and have love and compassion for him. It’s a very, very sad day, but a day to move on.”
Hasselhoff was previously married to actress Catherine Hickland from 1984 to 1989. He is currently married to model Hayley Roberts, whom he wed in 2018. “I told my girls what I was going to do and they were both really supportive,” Hasselhoff told Hello! magazine in 2016 after proposing to Roberts. “It’s tough. No one wants to see their parents split up. But they love Hayley and they’re just happy for me.”
In Bach-Hasselhoff’s most recent Instagram post, she gushed over her new granddaughter — and her hope for 2025.
“Happy New Year, everyone! As we step into 2025, my heart is full of gratitude, especially for my precious grandbaby, London,” she wrote via Instagram. “Watching her grow and seeing her smile light up my world is truly the greatest blessing. My wish for all of you this year is health, happiness, and an abundance of love. May 2025 be filled with beautiful moments, laughter, and all the blessings your hearts can hold. Here’s to a year of making cherished memories, spreading joy, and embracing every precious moment!”

While real-life couple Michael Fassbenderand Alicia Vikander costar in the upcoming Korean drama Hope, they didn’t actually film their scenes together.
“It’s great, we’re big fans of director Na [Hong-jin]. He’s directing this movie, Hope,” Fassbender, 47, said on the Thursday, March 6, broadcast of the Today show. “It was actually Alicia, who reached out to him and then he approached us to be in the movie. We are in the scene together, but we were never on set together.”
He further joked, “It’s a stipulation that we insist on: ‘We can’t be on the same set together.’ Trying to keep our marriage intact.”
Fassbender and Vikander, 36, met on the set of 2016’s The Light Between Oceans and eloped one year later. While Hope will be their second professional collaboration, there is a logistical reason why the actors didn’t run into one another on set.
“It was down to scheduling ‘cause I was shooting Black Bag and The Agency, so I had to go out earlier,” Fassbender explained on Thursday. “I shot my stuff with a stand-in for her and she did the same for me.”
Fassbender and Vikander have only offered small glimpses into their relationship over the years.
“I feel I’m more happy and content than I’ve ever been,” Vikander previously told Vogue in 2018. “The happy-and-content thing, that’s talking about my private life.”
At the time, the Swedish actress called The Light Between Oceans a “great experience” in part due to Fassbender’s contributions.

“I think he’s one of the absolute best actors I’ve worked with,” Vikander told the outlet. “Of course, he’d done more films than me, but immediately when we started to work together, he was so open to wanting me to chip in new ideas and thoughts. He would be like, ‘I’m stuck, what should I do?’ and I would say, ‘You’re asking me?’ That was such a sweet thing.”
She added, “Life is about a lot more than work, but if it’s also your biggest passion, of course it’s something you enjoy talking about.”
Fassbender and Vikander also share two children. Vikander gave birth to baby No. 2 shortly before she and Fassbender went to shoot Hope.
“When I met you in Korea, you had literally just had your second baby, and the stuff we had to do in the film was so physical,” costar Taylor Russell told Vikander in a July 2024 interview for Elle. “I just thought, this is somebody who is clearly so in tune with her body, who knows how to take care of herself and has stamina. I was so impressed by how you showed up after doing something so intense.”
The mother of NFL star Joey Bosa is attempting to rally the troops after her son was released by the Los Angeles Chargers.
Cheryl Bosa supported a call to action to get Joey, 29, to San Francisco to play with his brother Nick, 27, after the Chargers announced they were moving on from Joey after nine seasons with the franchise on Wednesday, March 5.
“BREAKING NEWS: Can we get a petition going on bringing @jbbigbear to the bay #bosabrothers ,” Cheryl reposted via her Instagram Story on Wednesday.
Joey, a linebacker, and Nick, a defensive end, both played college football at The Ohio State University, but their tenures did not overlap. Joey was drafted with the 3rd overall selection by the Chargers in the 2016 NFL Draft. Nick started his freshman year in Columbus that fall.
The brothers have not been teammates since their time together at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, when Joey was a senior and Nick was a freshman.

Cheryl also reposted a “thank you” message from the Chargers organization via her Story, writing, “Could not be [any] prouder of my son, Joey.”
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Cheryl’s wish isn’t exactly a far-fetched pipe dream. Rapoport, 45, reported on Wednesday that the 49ers are potentially interested in uniting the Bosa brothers.
“The #Chargers star will have options — joining his brother Nick in SF is one of them,” the NFL insider posted via X. “His release saved the Chargers $25M against the cap.”
Joey was rewarded with a five-year, $135 million contract extension by the Chargers in 2020, making him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history at the time.

Since that time, however, injuries have plagued Joey’s career. In the past three seasons, he’s played in a total of just 28 games.
The Chargers paid tribute to Joey via Instagram on Wednesday, posting a carousel of photos and videos from his time with the franchise.
Prior to his release from the Chargers, Joey was asked about playing in the NFL with his brother one day. “It’d be cool at some point,” he said.
Still, Joey expressed his commitment to the Chargers organization, for whom he had played his entire career.
“I always thought of myself being somebody that will play here and retire here, which I think not many people do on one team,” he said. “I think it would be a cool thing to accomplish, but you never know.”
