Local news anchor Olivia Jaquith was in for a surprise when she went on air for her latest broadcast.
The TV journalist, who works for CBS affiliate WRGB in Albany, New York, went into labor live on air on Wednesday, May 21. “We do have some breaking news this morning, literally. Olivia’s water has broke and she is anchoring the news now in active labor,” Jaquith’s coanchor Julia Dunn announced.
Jaquith, for her part, clarified she was only in “early labor,” adding, “Let’s not get carried away.”
Regardless of her labor progress, Dunn told viewers that Jaquith has begun timing her contractions, the last one being two minutes apart. “Well, there was one, but it’s been a few minutes since then, so we’re still in good shape,” Jaquith noted.
Dunn went on to praise her colleague for deciding to “stay on the desk” despite going into labor. The broadcast even celebrated Jaquith’s pregnancy by adding a “days past due date” counter at the top right corner of the screen.
“Well, I’m happy to be here and I’ll stay on the desk for as long as I possibly can,” Jaquith told viewers. “But if I disappear, that’s what’s going on.”
Dunn, who coincidentally is also pregnant, wrapped up the announcement by stating, “We’re so happy for you! She’s two days overdue, so she wants this baby out.”

Later in the episode, Jaquith stated that she would “rather be at work than at the hospital.” Three hours later at the end of the broadcast, the crew sent Jaquith well wishes with a breaking news bumper at the bottom of the screen which read, “Here comes Baby P, Good Luck Olivia.”
Jaquith is expecting her first child, a baby boy, with her husband, Tyn. Though the anchor has yet to announce she gave birth, WRGB teased via Facebook that she has become a mother. “You may have noticed, a new face on-air this morning, our News Director Stone Grissom slid into his familiar role on the desk to anchor alongside Julia Dunn CBS 6,” the outlet captioned a snap of Dunn reporting alongside Jaquith’s replacement coanchor.
Jaquith announced her pregnancy earlier this year while sharing photos of herself participating in the RunDisney Princess Half Marathon at Disney World via Instagram. “Crossed one finish line, still 3 months to go on the other,” she captioned the February 26 post. “Baby P coming soon .”
Jaquith has shared several snaps of her baby bump with her followers, even posing for a baby bump pic with Dunn in the news studio. “Bumpin’ ,” she captioned her March 12 Instagram upload.
Earlier this month, Jaquith and her husband celebrated their child’s imminent arrival with a Winnie-the-Pooh-themed baby shower. In her most recent Instagram upload, Jaquith shared sweet photos from their maternity photo shoot.
“Final days as a party of two ,” she excitedly captioned the Saturday, March 17, post.
And Just Like That star Nicole Ari Parker is teasing what’s in store for Lisa Todd Wexley next season — but will there be trouble in paradise for her happily married character?
When Max released the official season 3 trailer for the Sex and the City spinoff, fans saw Parker’s character asking Charlotte (Kristin Davis), “It’s OK to have a work crush, right?” Lisa’s husband, Herbert (Chris Jackson), however, has questions after finding a selfie she took with her handsome new colleague, played by Mehcad Brooks.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly for this week’s cover story, Parker revealed that she was surprised by the risky story line — but she couldn’t share many more details.
“I can’t say a word,” she told Us, joking that she “signed so many documents” to stay spoiler-free.
Parker did give credit where it’s due, shouting out Michael Patrick King and his “great writing team of women” behind the scenes.
“They really established the Wexleys [as a couple] … and they put a little danger in there,” she teased.

Viewers met LTW, a documentary filmmaker and mother of three, when AJLT debuted in 2021. Throughout the series, she’s struggled to balance her responsibilities at work and at home, especially as Herbert launches his political campaign. On top of their busy careers, the couple navigated Lisa’s unexpected pregnancy and miscarriage during season 2.
“I just wanted to do it justice,” Parker said of the emotional story line. “And it was difficult to act, in a way, because [the show is] drama and comedy, and you have to bounce back. So my next scene or next episode might be a little lighter. So how do you honor that? … You still have to carry the truth of what your character went through.”
With such a “female-centered” project, Parker knew her character’s journey would strike a chord. “You can feel other women on the page, at the table read,” she continued. “You can feel all the women that might be going through this particular thing or that particular thing. You can feel how responsible you are for the story line.”
Though she can’t spill many secrets about what’s to come when AJLT returns this month, Parker hinted that the drama won’t slow down any time soon. “Every year, I have to be deeper, funnier, sadder, more optimistic, sexier. It is everything. … [The fans] aren’t ready.”
Nicole Ari ParkerCraig Blankenhorn/Max
Joining the ranks of already beloved characters like Charlotte, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) in Samantha’s (Kim Cattrall) absence was no easy feat, but Parker told Us she was “just happy to be at the party” when her AJLT journey began.
“I was happy to work and to be in this iconic group of people,” she continued. “I could have been the waiter. I was very happy. But the writers and [Michael Patrick King], they just didn’t let one character be insignificant. They really gave them backstory in the moment, drama and comedy, and no one was unfinished right from the gate. It’s an actor’s dream.”
Parker hinted that there’s even “a little” bit of herself in LTW, but the character has some extra perks. “I’m jealous of her wardrobe,” the actress confessed. “I’m jealous of her apartment. I wish I had her art collection.”
As enviable as the outfits are, they unfortunately aren’t up for grabs when production wraps. “Everything goes back,” Parker told Us. “And some of the iconic pieces are put away.”
And Just Like That season 3 premieres on Max Thursday, May 29, at 9 p.m. ET.
Criminal Minds: Evolution didn’t just bring back Matthew Gray Gubler‘s Reid — but several other OG characters — for Will’s funeral.
During the Thursday, May 22, episode of the Paramount+ show, JJ (A. J. Cook) prepared for late husband Will’s (Josh Stewart) funeral with help from Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) and Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster).
The emotional day got nostalgic when Gubler’s fan-favorite character made a surprise appearance to support JJ. Emily, meanwhile, pointed out to Penelope that Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) and Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) sent flowers because they couldn’t be at the funeral.
While viewers knew to expect a cameo from Gubler, the Hotchner and Morgan mentions were unexpected. Criminal Minds: Evolution has previously found ways to acknowledge characters from the original show after making the move from CBS to Paramount+.
Criminal Minds, which debuted in 2005, introduced viewers to a group of criminal profilers who work for the FBI as members of its Behavioral Analysis Unit. The crime drama has kept exploring different fictional cases each season as cast members have come and gone.
After wrapping in 2020, Criminal Minds was revived with Cook, 46, Vangsness, 52, Brewster, 56, Joe Mantegna, Aisha Tyler and Adam Rodriguez returning.

Gubler, 45, who played Reid from 2005 to 2020, publicly discussed his interest in making a return. “I would be honored. I would absolutely love that,” he said of the series during an appearance on Ireland’s The Six O’Clock Show in September 2023. “They did a newer spinoff of the show, but it was filming during a time when I was shooting something else. But I can’t wait — hopefully it will soon work out.”
Showrunner Erica Messer exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2024 that they have had conversations with Gubler, saying, “We love [Matthew] and he’s always going to be a part of the family. We would love for an opportunity to arise to get him back. And we have tried — and he has tried.”
“It just hasn’t worked out timing wise. I can’t speak to [season 3 of Criminal Minds: Evolution] because we’re not there yet. But it’s not for lack of trying,” Messer said before pointing out how the show has still featured mentions of Reid. “I think the characters also are going to acknowledge it.”
She continued: “Even when [Felicity Huffman‘s character] Jill Gideon was like, ‘How are all these people doing?’ They’ve all been gone for a long time — but she wouldn’t not ask about them. That’s who she remembers on the team.”
While Gubler isn’t sticking around as Reid on Criminal Minds, he is marking his TV return with CBS’ Einstein. The upcoming series follows Lew Einstein, a.k.a the great grandson of Albert Einstein, as he spends his days as a comfortably tenured professor. His bad boy antics, however, land him in trouble with the law so he uses his skills to help a local police detective solve the most puzzling cases.
CBS picked up the show to series but it has been plagued with delays. In April, it was confirmed that CBS was moving Einstein from its planned premiere during the 2025-26 TV season to the 2026-27 season.
“At one point, Einstein was on the schedule,” the network’s Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach explained at the CBS Upfronts in May. “But then it just occurred to us that we had an opportunity with this show. We’ve had such great results with long term development. [At last year’s upfront press event], we announced that we were picking up Sheriff Country to series [for 2025-26]. They start production next week, we have been promoting the show for months, we have 12 scripts banked, and we have a ton of efficiencies for production, scheduling, etc.”
She added: “We felt like Einstein could really benefit from this path, even if it means changing course. We are not afraid to do that when it means that we are setting the show up for its best chances of success.”
Criminal Minds is currently streaming on Paramount+.
Influencer Alix Earle is officially joining the competition when it returns to ABC this fall. The big announcement was made during the Thursday, May 22, broadcast of Good Morning America.
“This is so surreal,” Earle, 24, said on Thursday as she walked onto the GMA set. “I mean, I’ve always been a fan of Dancing With the Stars. I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma … I was so in love with dance. When this opportunity came to me, it was like, ‘What can I do next? Where can I take this?’ I mean, I’m ready to challenge myself, I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun. It was a very obvious answer to say yes.”
Earle also noted that she has a background in competitive dance. “I would like to say I have some rhythm,” she joked. “I’m excited to get back in there and get training.”
Known for her “get ready with me” videos, Earle hinted that she was ready to go “above and beyond every week” for her fans. When it comes to her ideal partner, however, Earle doesn’t have a name in mind.
“I would be grateful to be with anyone,” she said. “I think they’re all so talented. I’m looking for a partner who’s gonna be a good time, a good friend and really push me to be my best.”

The reveal comes one month after Robert Irwin was confirmed to be hitting the DWTS ballroom. His sister, Bindi Irwin, a mirrorball champion herself, celebrated the casting news in April with a sweet Instagram tribute.
“DANCING WITH THE STARS SEASON 34 – LET’S GOOOO!” she wrote at the time. “Robert, you are going to absolutely shine in the ballroom. I wish I could express the magnitude of how proud I am of you and everything you have achieved.”
She continued, “[I] can’t wait to cheer you on each week as you inspire so many with your strength, kindness and determination. Here’s to an extraordinary journey ahead.”

Bindi, 26, won season 21 of the ballroom dance competition with her pro partner, Derek Hough, in 2015. Robert, 21, exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month that he’ll be utilizing his sister’s expertise.
“I’m just going to get real for a second, I’m so nervous,” he said of making his DWTS debut. “I’m really nervous. … I just don’t know what to expect.”
Robert told Us that he’s “grateful” to have watched Bindi go through the experience before him. “Not only did she do Dancing With the Stars, I mean, she won Dancing With the Stars and just was such an incredible shining light. I remember watching [her] on that show just thinking, ‘This is the coolest thing ever,'” he added, joking that Bindi has her “work cut out” for her when it comes to sharing advice.
Despite her brother’s nerves, Bindi is already predicting he’ll win over the fan base. “He has nothing to be worried about,” she told Us in the same interview. “All we have to be worried about is him breaking the internet every week.”
When DWTS returns, so will cohosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough. Additional casting has yet to be revealed, but Us isn’t alone in wanting to uncover all the secrets.
“I want to know everything. It’s very much my personality,” former DWTS pro Lindsay Arnold exclusively told Us last month. “I don’t really love to be surprised. I like to know things.”
DWTS has been through plenty of changes since it premiered in 2005, but its popularity hasn’t wavered. Season 33 broke viewing records, drawing in the biggest audience for its finale in three years. Bachelor Nation’s Joey Graziadei and pro Jenna Johnson were crowned the winners, with Olympian Ilona Maher and her partner, Alan Bersten, finishing in second place.
Us Weeklyconfirmed on Wednesday, May 21, that the X-Files icon, 64, has tied the knot with longtime girlfriend, Monique Pendleberry, 31.
The couple sparked marriage rumors after they were spotted walking around Malibu a day earlier wearing what appeared to be wedding bands.
Duchovny began dating Pendleberry in 2017 and they’ve made the rare public appearance together since then, including the red carpet premiere of Duchovny’s movie You People in 2023.
Before meeting Pendleberry, the actor was married to actress Téa Leoni, with whom he shares two adult children, including actress West Duchovny.

Us Weekly confirmed on Wednesday, May 21, that Duchovny and Pendleberry had tied the knot.
The couple has largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight since they began seeing one another in 2017. At the time, it was reported that Pendleberry worked at the SunLife Organics juice bar in Malibu, which is owned by Duchovny’s friend, Khalil Rafati.
Over the years, Duchovny has been seen with his longtime love in a few rare public appearances together. In January 2024, they took in a Los Angeles Lakers game and were spotted together in New York City again that September. In 2023, Pendleberry supported Duchovny at the red carpet premiere of his Netflix film You People.

Téa Leoni
The X-Files star was previously married to actress Téa Leoni between 1997 and 2014.
The couple was initially introduced by their mutual agent, Risa Shapiro. “As an agent, you put things together all the time,” Shapiro told The Los Angeles Times in 1997. “They are both extremely good-looking people, they are both extremely well-educated, they went to private school in Manhattan, they went to Ivy League schools, and they are both about to have great movie careers. He wasn’t dating anyone, she wasn’t dating anyone…”
While Leoni initially turned down Shapiro’s matchmaking efforts, she and Duchovny eventually connected.
“She’s so smart and funny, and she’s so loyal. She’s honest and she’s kind,” Duchovny told the L.A. Times in October 1997. “The most gentle person I’ve ever met. And she really seemed to care about me. Which shocked me. I thought, ‘I don’t want to [mess] this up.’”
After a whirlwind romance, Duchovny asked Leoni to marry him.
“I ended up asking her every day until we got married. It was like our little thing. I still ask her. She’ll say, ‘Ask me,’ and I’ll ask her. She never said no,” he recalled at the time.
After a decade of marriage and two children together, Duchovny entered rehabilitation for sex addiction in the summer of 2008. In October that year, the couple confirmed they had separated.
“In light of continuous speculation over the lives and marriage of Tea Leoni and David Duchovny, the couple has confirmed that they have in fact been separated for several months,” they said in a statement to People at the time. “The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children.”
Duchovny and Leoni reunited in 2009, but by the summer of 2011, they had separated again. The couple filed for divorce in 2014.
“Listen, David gave me the two greatest gifts on the planet; I don’t know how I could ever hate him. We’ve always loved each other, and we adore these kids,” Leoni told Parade magazine in September 2014.
“I’m not playing stupid—I understand feelings can get hurt and things can get icky. We’ve had our moments like that. But these kids are too important, and he feels the same way. I know it,” the Madam Secretary star said.

West Duchovny
Duchovny and Leoni welcomed their first child together, daughter Madelaine West Duchovny, in April 2009.
Going by the stage name West Duchovny, the 26-year-old has followed in her famous parents’ acting footsteps.
In an August 2023 interview with WWD, West said she initially didn’t have any desire to go into acting and had gotten into college to study in a pre-med program. But before going off to college, she starred in a high school play and was bitten by the acting bug.
“And it was just like, ‘Oh, no.’ I had never felt that way about anything. I never loved anything I had tried so effortlessly,” she told WWD. “I felt like I had been pushing myself to love school and love academics. But [acting] felt like the first thing that I wanted to commit to really getting to know and doing.”
West said her parents were initially reluctant about her going into the entertainment world.
“When they saw the play, they were complimentary, but like, they’re my parents. But they were surprised just because it came out of nowhere,” she said. “My dad had less strong feelings about it than my mom. My mom definitely was trepidatious. She grew up in the industry; that was very difficult for women. That we are now talking about more and changing, slowly but surely. And you know, I’m her daughter, and she was scared for me to enter that world.”
Now, however, her parents are her biggest supporters in her career.
“I think it just took them a little bit to take me seriously,” she told WWD. “Because it felt so random. But [I told them], ‘No, guys, this is what I need to do.’”
West’s roles include Syfy’s The Magicians, Netflix’s Painkiller and Hulu’s Saint X.

Kyd Miller Duchovny
Duchovny and Leoni’s only son, Kyd, was born in June 2002.
Kyd, 22, is expected to graduate from Pitzer College, a liberal arts and science school in Claremont, California, this year.
Unlike his sister, Kyd remains largely out of the spotlight, though he did appear in an Instagram jam session with his famous dad in July 2017. In the clip, father and son can be seen playing the guitar. Duchovny captioned the video by highlighting the importance of music education.
“My son is a naturally gifted, funny guy,” Duchovny described Kyd in a June 2022 interview with Closer. “He’s a storyteller in that way, but has shown no interest in acting.”
In June 2024, the Californication actor lamented that he spent large amounts of time away from home working on various projects while his kids were growing up.
“I’ll always feel inadequate [as a parent],” the actor told People. “Maybe I was a good parent, because my kids are great people, and they probably want to think of me as a good parent, too. They don’t want to think of me as a failure. I’m sure I’ve done bad things, I’m sure I’ve made mistakes, but we all have. So, I try and give myself more of a break.”
“I was certainly working a lot when my kids were young,” Duchovny added. “That’s something I might have changed, but then again, it’s also cool to model a person who’s engaged with their life for a kid. It might not be the best thing to just devote your entire existence to your kid either, so it could go either way.”
He continued, “I don’t have access to the other road that could have been traveled. I just have the one that I did travel, so certainly not a perfect parent, but I love my kids. I love my kids so, so much.”
The explosion at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital could mean not every cast member is returning to Grey’s Anatomy for season 22.
During the May 2025 finale of the hit ABC series, Piper Perabo played a mother of a patient who brought a highly flammable acetylene tank into the operating room to force Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) to perform a high-risk surgery to save her daughter. The hostage situation included interns Simone (Alexis Floyd) and Adams (Niko Terho) at risk while Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) tried to save them before it was too late.
Despite performing the operation successfully, the tank was accidentally opened, which let the flammable contents leak onto the operating floor. The final moments of the finale showed an explosion that only Meredith and Warren (Jason George) officially survived — for now.
While showrunner Meg Marinis wouldn’t confirm who was injured in the blast, she made it clear that almost no one was guaranteed to return for season 22. Keep scrolling for a breakdown of which characters were where when the explosion went off — including their chances at survival:
Pompeo originally announced in November 2022 that she was stepping backGrey’s Anatomy after appearing in 400 episodes of the series. She has since reprised her role — and continued to provide voiceover for the show — throughout the seasons that followed.
“We don’t quite know the answer to [in what capacity Ellen will return in season 22] yet, but as much as she’s willing to come hang out and play with us, we will have her!” Marinis told The Hollywood Reporter in May 2025. “We try to do that just so that we can accommodate her schedule. She likes to develop and produce other projects.”
Marinis continued: “So what usually happens is that in the beginning of the season I talk to her about her availability and what she’s looking for, so it’s a cooperation between her and the show. I mean, she’s been there for 22 years. She is able to have a say in what it might look like.”
Dr. Miranda Bailey

Last viewers saw Miranda (Chandra Wilson), she was on the operating floor, which puts her at risk of being a casualty of the explosion.
Dr. Richard Webber
Disney/Anne Marie Fo
According to Marinis, the future of most of the staff hasn’t been decided.
“Well, I feel like a lot of people are probably sitting in operating rooms,” she told THR. “So unless you saw them and where they were when that explosion went off, I don’t think we can say anyone is necessarily safe.”
Dr. Owen Hunt
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
Before the cliffhanger, Teddy (Kim Raver) officially ended her marriage to husband Owen (Kevin McKidd).
“That book is very long, and obviously, they’re forever tied to one another, when you’re in war with one another and have children together. But I am interested in it. It was really interesting to see that story play out this season and to see both of those characters still able to kind of light up and smile with other people,” Marinis shared. “I think a lot of people were wondering where their [open marriage] experiment was going.”
She continued: “But Nora [Floriana Lima] really fell in love with Owen and I think Teddy really had something for Cass [Sophia Bush], even though Cass is happily married. It was really fun to see those two characters have chemistry with others and I feel like they really did have chemistry between the actors, too.”
Dr. Teddy Altman
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
Raver could also not return to season 22 after going through major personal changes on screen.
Dr. Amelia Shepherd
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
Amelia is another character who isn’t exactly safe ahead of the new season.
“But even in the last two seasons with what you saw this year, we had to reduce the cast a little bit [because of industry-wide budget cuts], and everybody has very passionate feelings about their favorite characters,” Marinis shared. “But if we can get the writers upset then we know we’re doing it right. It’s not as satisfying a story if people aren’t upset when someone leaves. It’s supposed to make people upset and sad, so I’m sure there’ll be some arguments. But I’ve been persuaded before to change my mind on things.”
Marinis was asked about Jo — who revealed she is pregnant before the cliffhanger — during the tell-all with THR. “We saw Jo outside the building,” she added. “But we didn’t see her leave, so it just depends on what exit she took, I guess.”
Dr. Ben Warren
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
Marinis told THR that Warren was seen running back into the building so he is safe, adding, “Well, he’s alive, but he doesn’t have a job. But he is still married to Bailey!”
Dr. Levi Schmitt
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
Jake Borelli, played Dr. Levi Schmitt on Grey’s Anatomy for seven seasons. He left the long-running ABC medical drama during season 21 — but returned for Jo’s wedding.“I have a big enough cast as it is!” Marinis explained to THR. “We will maybe have people who guest a couple times. But no, we have plenty of people that we’re very happy with.”
Dr. Atticus Lincoln
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
Since Atticus wasn’t seen outside of the hospital, he is also on the list of possible victims.
“I hope we get to next season, right?” Carmack told Us in May 2025. “I mean, hey, I’m not gonna give anything away.”
Dr. Winston Ndugu
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
Winston is the other addition to the unclear cast status heading into season 22.
Dr. Simone Griffith
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
“We will see him in season 22, yes. Even though he was in both of these episodes for just a little bit, he walked in with such a presence where we know it’s going to be dynamic. He is someone who has that confidence that not many young interns have,” Marinis confirmed. “That’s really interesting to see someone at the lower level of their career acting like he’s chief at the hospital. Also, what is that going to mean for this class above him [that includes Simone and Adams] who will be having to supervise and teach him?”
Dr. Benson “Blue” Kwan
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
Despite the unclear future for season 22, Marinis has spoken with the cast about what to expect, telling THR, “I’ve had conversations with some of them, but they all know it’s a Grey’s Anatomy cliffhanger and they know every year they never know what to expect. They’re here for it. They like to keep our stories exciting and fresh.”
Jules was also on the operating room floor, with Marinis saying, “When I wrote the script and I was going through that final montage, I was just like, ‘I’m going to put these people here.’ Then even after the table read, I added somebody on that OR floor. I put Jules going up there.
Dr. Mika Yasuda
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
During the interview, Marinis revealed that no decisions on who could return have been decided.
“We go back in the writers’ room on Monday. I definitely have thoughts,” she teased. “Whether or not those thoughts change, that can always happen. I haven’t put pen to paper yet, but it’ll be very soon that I do.”
Dr. Lucas Adams
Disney/Anne Marie Fox
Marinis confirmed to THR that Adams “was also running up to the operating floor, so we have to add him to the list then.”
Dr. Monica Beltran

Can you guess where Monica was when the explosion happened? The operating room floor.

They feature a natural cork footbed for all-day support, plus a durable, non-slip sole for enhanced traction that grips the ground, giving you more confidence with every step.

The styling options are endless when it comes to these cute slip-on sandals. Pair with cropped jeans and a breezy blouse for casual weekend vibes, or dress them up with a flowy midi dress and a straw hat for a dressier summer affair. The single adjustable buckle lets you customize the fit for a secure yet flexible feel, perfect for busy days or laid-back weekends.
During a recent appearance on the “Hot Smart Rich” podcast, Arnold, 31, was asked why so many recognizable ballroom dancers — especially those who go pro on DWTS — have connections to Utah and the Mormon lifestyle.
“I feel like in Utah, it’s very common, parents definitely want their kids to be doing an activity,” she explained. “That’s just something that is very prominent. Like, you put your kid in something and you really put them all in.”
In her own experience, Arnold noted that her parents “loved pushing” her and her siblings in their passion areas “because it kept us out of trouble” after school. (Lindsay’s younger sister Rylee Arnold followed in her footsteps as a DWTS pro.)
“The Mormon culture is very much, like, we want our kids to be good kids and to not get into trouble and to not explore different things that could lead them in troubled areas,” she continued. “So I feel like a lot of parents put their kids in something and then push it hard.”
Lindsay ArnoldHot Smart Rich/YouTube
Another factor? “The dance culture in Utah is just very intense, in the best way,” Lindsay added. “I also think there’s been so many of us [from Utah] that have kind of paved the way that these dancers and parents see what’s possible, and so they’re more willing to put [in] money, time. Because dance is a full-on investment.”
Lindsay made her television debut on So You Think You Can Dance season 9 in 2012, joining DWTS one year later as one of the franchise’s youngest pros. She won a mirrorball trophy in 2017 with season 25 partner Jordan Fisher. Lindsay last appeared on the show during season 30 in 2021. (Rylee, meanwhile, competed on DWTS for the first time in 2023.)

The phenomenon of Mormons in ballroom dance has fascinated fans — and Us — as more DWTS pros highlight their hometown connections. When season 33 was underway last fall, there were eight dancers from Utah at both the pro and troupe level, including Jenna Johnson, Witney Carson and Ezra Sosa.
“Literally all from the same studio is INSANE,” Ezra commented on a TikTok video shared by sister Stephani Sosa in September 2024.

According to fellow pro Brandon Armstrong, there’s a simple answer as to why ballroom dance attracts so many young Mormons in Utah.
“There’s nothing else to do,” he teased on the “Lightweights” podcast in October 2024. “What else do you do? You talk about our biggest cities, like Salt Lake, ain’t nothing there. … You play sports, go to school, date super young — these guys get married when they’re 19, 20 years old — and then you dance.”
If we’re being honest, I think we all wish we could age like a celebrity. They’re able to delay crepey neck and skin for longer, thanks to top estheticians and skincare brands at their fingertips. Well, our wish is finally coming true thanks to PCA skin. They’ve bottled up a firming cream that targets delicate skin — and it doesn’t require a Hollywood budget, in-office visits or a waitlist to start reaping the benefits.
The perfect example of aging as flawlessly as a celebrity? Gabrielle Union, who is 52-years-old, and still looks just as young today as she did at 27-years-old when she starred in Bring It On. Her go-to esthetician Candice Miele relies on PCA Skincare to keep Union’s skin glowing — and totally endorses their Perfecting Neck and Décolleté Cream.
Made for women over 40, this bestselling, neck-firming cream rewinds aging — just as if you had a celebrity esthetician in your back pocket. It’s specifically formulated to strengthen, firm, reduce redness and discoloration on delicate skin like the neck and chest. Yyou can kiss loose, sagging skin behind in as little as one week.
Way more potent than your average drugstore find, this cream contains ingredients like palmitoyl tripeptide-38 and palmitoyl tripeptide-5, which zap fine lines and wrinkles. It also includes calcium hydroxymethionine, which improves sagging neck tissue, and grape fruit cell extract, which is an important skin antioxidant.
When you use a dime-size amount twice daily in the morning and night, you’ll start seeing real results in as little as seven days’ time. Simply press it onto the chest and spread evenly onto the neck while moving hands in an upward motion.
Who says you need a celebrity esthetician on speed-dial to age like a Hollywood icon? Firmer, glowing skin is possible — all from the comfort of your own vanity. This cream may just win the award for best supporting actress in your skincare regime.
Unlike its rival streamer Netflix, Hulu doesn’t share its most popular movies and shows as separate lists. Instead, Disney’s more mature streamer runs a roundup of the top 15 movies and TV shows at any given time.
As you might expect, there are a lot of choices on this week’s updated list that had high positions on Hulu’s chart a week ago.
Rather than simply repeating last week’s choices, the Watch With Us team has narrowed this week’s selections down to just three.
So if you need guidance, these are Hulu’s most popular movies and shows that you should watch right now.
The Rookie recently wrapped season 7 on ABC, and it will be back for season 8 at some point in the future. The reasonable question to ask about this show is simple: At what point does John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) stop being the rookie? He’s actually a training officer by season 7, but at the beginning of the series, John was the oldest rookie police officer in the history of the LAPD.
Some of John’s fellow officers really don’t like him because of his age, and he did join the force during what could be accurately called his mid-life crisis. But he’s also a dedicated officer who has proven himself time and time again. The show has built a large supporting cast around John, including new rookies whom he gets to show the ropes. This is a very bingeable series, and with 126 episodes, it could keep you busy all summer long.
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is technically the second M: I collaboration between Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie, who wrote the script for Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol four years earlier. But this is the movie that took the franchise to another level and gave it enough juice to run for another decade. For Ethan Hunt, getting blacklisted and branded a traitor must seem like old times by now. But it’s not every day that you meet a high-caliber woman who can take your breath away.
The woman in question is Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), a disavowed MI6 agent secretly undercover with Ethan’s current adversaries in The Syndicate. Someone created The Syndicate using a network of burned spies and operatives to create a dangerous criminal and terrorist organization. Ilsa is in so deep that she can’t get out of The Syndicate alone, and Ethan can’t bring it down without her.
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is streaming on Hulu.
‘Tucci in Italy’ (2025 – Present)
Actor Stanley Tucci has had a lot of memorable roles over the years, but his latest part is as a tourist and the host of his own travel show on National Geographic. As explained by Tucci himself, Tucci in Italy is his attempt to better understand the country by meeting its people and consuming its food. Italian food is very prevalent in the United States, but there’s nothing quite like getting the genuine dishes from the people who have sustained Italy’s food culture for generations.
If this show doesn’t make you hungry, you haven’t been watching it long enough. Five mouth-watering episodes await any foodies who want to follow Tucci’s journey through June 8.

The Bates Motel actress, 30, shared several updates via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, May 21, including a sweet image of a cherubic angel ornament, which she posted to honor the people who have supported her.
“Grateful for the angels in my life,” she captioned the image.
Later Wednesday, Nicola documented her intimate date night with husband Brooklyn Beckham, 26, amid an alleged rift between the couple and Brooklyn’s family, including his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
“I love you so much baby,” Nicola captioned a photo of a laidback Brooklyn enjoying an array of takeout dishes. Brooklyn can be seen casually lying on the grass, wearing a backwards baseball cap, and smiling at his wife.
In another photo, Nicola posted a zoomed-out image of the couple’s spread and tagged interior designer Michelle Finkelstein, suggesting that she joined them for dinner.

“Best kind of night,” Nicola wrote alongside the image.
The source said that there has been “bad blood” since before Nicola and Brooklyn got married in April 2022.
“Things never really got smoothed over, and you can tell it still affects everyone,” the source explained. “The tension is still present and it’s hard for Brooklyn at times. Brooklyn’s having a tough time with it. He’s super stubborn and just wants space from his family right now.”
The insider added: “He completely supports and stands by Nicola, and it has put a rift in his relationship with his parents. Nicola is outspoken and that is what has caused tension with his parents. She will defend Brooklyn a lot and is defensive. Brooklyn will always be on Nicola’s side, and that’s made things even more tense between him and his parents.”
Adding to the speculation, Brooklyn and Nicola were conspicuous by their absence at various celebrations to mark Brooklyn’s father, David, turning 50 on May 2. Brooklyn’s siblings, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and sister Harper, 13, all attended a black-tie dinner in London and a lavish birthday party at the Beckhams’ home in the Cotswolds.
The Beckham brood has yet to publicly address the alleged family drama. However, earlier this week, Victoria included her eldest son in a sweet Instagram Story post celebrating her four children and her own parents, Jackie and Anthony.
“We both love you all so much,” the former Spice Girl captioned a photo of her four kids posing with their grandparents.
If you’ve ever drooled over a celeb’s handbag only to discover it costs more than your rent, you’re not alone. But there’s one brand quietly winning in the “looks expensive, costs under $100” category — and it’s JW Pei. Known for its sleek, minimal silhouettes and rich-looking vegan leather, the brand has graced the arms of stars likeKyle Richards, Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez. While you could easily pay full price and still feel like you’re scoring a deal, we just found out that select JW Pei styles are 40% off at Nordstrom.
The standout of the moment? JW Pei’s Joy Faux Leather Shoulder Bag, which is basically the perfect plus-one for spring and summer. It’s got the clean lines and shiny hardware of a much pricier piece, but it’s currently marked down to just $53 (originally $89). The pale pink shade feels fresh and feminine, while the 90s-inspired silhouette gives it that cool-girl edge. Whether you’re pairing it with a sundress or just jeans and a tee, it adds polish without feeling like you’re trying too hard.
Besides looking like a designer gem, the bag is super functional. It’s small enough to carry around without weighing you down but still roomy enough for your phone, cards, keys and a few extras. The adjustable strap lets you wear it as a shoulder or handbag, depending on the vibe. And since it comes with its own box and dust bag, it even feels like a fancy unboxing experience — without the fancy price tag.
Reviewers are just as obsessed. “This little purse is absolutely charming,” one Nordstrom shopper raves. “Not too small, not too big, but exactly right for what you need with you if you go to a restaurant, theater, party.” Another called out the elevated details, saying, “Love the neutral green and chic style. You can dress this bag up or down… it arrived with its own labeled box and dust bag.” For under $60, those kinds of little luxuries really hit.
Bottom line: If you’ve been wanting to get in on the celeb-favorite handbag game without breaking your budget, now’s the time. JW Pei is the rare brand that delivers on aesthetics, quality and price. With pieces like this marked down at Nordstrom, you’ll want to hit ‘add to cart’ before the bag inevitably sells out.

When Netflix has a loaded lineup of films like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and the Twilight flicks, it’s easy to see why some of its originals don’t get the same attention.
The streamer’s made-for-Netflix films may not always enter the most popular movies list, but they’re still worth watching.
As we head into the final weeks of the season, the Watch With Us team has selected the three must-watch Netflix movies that you may have missed this spring.
Our picks include an action thriller, a disaster movie and a drama that goes off in some dark and comedic directions.
If Tom Cruise ever returns in another Mission: Impossible movie, he may want to team up with German actress Jeanne Goursaud following her starring turn in Exterritorial. This action thriller casts Goursaud as Sara Wulf, an ex-Special Forces soldier and the single mother of a young child named Josh (Rickson Guy da Silva). During a routine visit to the U.S. consulate in Germany, Sara attempts to line up a work visa while Josh waits in a play area for kids. When Sara returns, Josh is missing, and no one believes she came with her child.
Sara’s pleas for help fall on deaf ears when even the security footage suggests she arrived alone. Since German police have no authority in the consulate, Sara goes rogue and risks her life to search the complex for her son. What she discovers is a shocking conspiracy and an excuse to unload on any of the soldiers who are foolish enough to get between Sara and her child.
There’s a reason why the premise for Bullet Train Explosion sounds a lot like Speed on a train. That classic 1994 Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock action flick was partially inspired by the 1975 Japanese film, The Bullet Train. Bullet Train Explosion is a loose sequel to that film, and it takes place on the Hayabusa 60, a bullet train under a threat to maintain its speed or else everyone on board will be killed by a bomb.
The enigmatic bomber also demands an exorbitant amount of money from everyone in Japan in exchange for the lives of the people on board the train. Since the bureaucrats don’t have a solution, conductor Kazuya Takaichi (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi) and his team on the train have to find a way to save as many people as possible. You may be tempted to watch the English dub for its unintended comedic value, but the original Japanese language track has better performances.
Any comparisons to Parasite or Saltburn are apt for Delicious, a German film that recently debuted on Netflix. For the main characters, Esther (Valerie Pachner) and John (Fahri Yardim), anything other than the good life is an inconvenience to them. Even accidentally hitting a young woman, Teodora (Carla Diaz), with their car isn’t a problem that can’t be solved by throwing money at it.
When Teodora returns and asks for a job, it seems like a fair exchange. But the film reveals pretty quickly that Teodora faked the full extent of her injuries. Teodora is so good at insinuating herself with Esther, John and their children that there has to be a reason why she went through so much to get there. Without giving away any major spoilers, there is some bad karma heading John and Esther’s way, and Teodora is at the center of it.
Clinton Kelly and Stacy London were known for their brutal honesty in What Not to Wear, a popular reality show where they gave makeovers to people whose friends and family nominated them because of their perceived “bad” style. In Wear Whatever the F You Want, the fashion gurus take a very different approach. Briefed in advance on their subjects’ dream aesthetic, they help them create a new wardrobe that helps their outside appearance reflect how they see themselves.
Wear Whatever is a warmer, fuzzier program, but it still showcases Kelly and London’s style and talent. It’s a positive spin on the makeover show, one that seeks to make the participant more themselves, rather than transforming them into someone else.
Thinking of downsizing? In Tiny House Hunters, real estate pros take prospective home buyers to view the best in tiny houses. From portable micro-homes to woodsy mini-cabins, this show gives you an inside look at the creative ways the tiny house movement maximizes space while minimizing square footage.
It’s House Hunters with a miniaturized twist, and you’ll be surprised how quickly you get invested in the hopeful homeowners’ dreams, “small” as they may be.
Brent Street Academy is Australia’s best dance academy, but even if you graduate from there, you’re not guaranteed a job as a dancer. In Dance Life, watch 90 high school seniors work relentlessly to achieve their dreams. The talent and dedication on display will amaze you, but so will the brutal nature of the dance world.
Competition is fierce in this series, which follows a year in the life of these incredible students. Dance Life is the perfect show for viewers who want to go behind the scenes of the performing arts world.
Iconic fashion figures Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, hosts of Project Runway, reunite for another fashion competition show, Making the Cut. In this series, Gunn and Klum don’t just test competitors on their design skills, but on their business abilities as well. Designers need to prove they have what it takes to run a global fashion brand.
The show culminates with the winner receiving $1 million to invest in their brand, along with the opportunity to sell their final collection on Amazon, providing both a financial and commercial launching pad. Competitors produce big-budget runway shows and travel to fashion capitals like Paris and Tokyo to complete their challenges.
The judging panel features prominent industry figures, including designers and fashion executives, adding a layer of authenticity and insight to the series. Fans love Making the Cut for its glamorous settings, high-stakes competition, and the familiar dynamic between Klum and Gunn.
We all love our furry friends, but sometimes their neuroses can make them downright annoying—or even dangerous. When this happens, it’s best to call in an expert like Cesar Millan, a professional dog trainer known for his unique ability to rehabilitate unruly and aggressive dogs. Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan involves Millan traveling to various locations to help dog owners address behavioral issues with their pets. Each episode typically features multiple cases, ranging from minor disobedience to severe aggression, highlighting Millan’s expertise in understanding and communicating with dogs through what he describes as a ‘calm-assertive’ approach.
Millan’s techniques often involve demonstrating how owners can establish themselves as pack leaders, employing body language and energy to influence their pets’ behavior. Throughout its run from 2004 to 2016, “Dog Whisperer” captured the hearts of many viewers by not only showcasing dramatic transformations but also offering practical advice to improve the human-canine relationship. It’s a must-watch for dog owners seeking solutions or those who simply enjoy a fascinating view inside the animal mind.
As anyone who’s ever taken a middle school art class can tell you, painting accurate portraits of people is really hard! This British series takes the best painters from around the U.K. and challenges them to not just paint accurate portraits, but to elevate them to creative heights. Each season, the talented painters are challenged to create likenesses of celebrity “sitters” like Sophie Turner, Sir Ian McKellen, Hannah Waddingham and many more.
Portrait Artist of the Year blends high-stakes competition and artistic exploration. The series appeals to audiences with its behind-the-scenes peek into the creative process and the personal stories of the artists, which add depth to the competition. It’s a beautiful examination of painting as a storytelling medium that fosters an appreciation for the arts.
The Only Murders in the Buildingstar, 32, “liked” an Instagram post shared by Hailey’s Rhode Skin beauty brand, which announced on Tuesday, May 20, that it would soon be stocked in Sephora stores.
To break the news, Rhode shared a black-and-white picture of Hailey, 28, posing with a Rhode product.
Fans quickly spotted that Gomez was among the 400,000-plus social media users who liked the post. “Selena Gomez liked it!!” commented one person. Another wrote: “Selena gomezzzzz what a classy queen u R.”
The “Call Me When You Break Up” singer’s understated show of support was spotted on Wednesday, May 21, the same day she posted a cryptic Instagram Story expressing words of wisdom with an unidentified person.
Gomez reshared a post that said, “You matter. Your voice matters. Your heart matters. You are worth so much more than you know.”
“You know who you are and I’m cheering you on,” the actress and singer wrote in her Story.
Gomez previously dated Justin on and off from 2009 to 2018. Justin married Hailey in a courthouse wedding in September 2018. The couple welcomed their first child, son Jack Blues, 8 months, in August 2024. Gomez, meanwhile, is now engaged to music producer Benny Blanco.
Earlier this week, Hailey landed her first-ever solo U.S. Vogue cover, prompting her husband, Justin, 31, to make a candid confession about an argument he once had with his wife.
“Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight,” Justin captioned a photo of Hailey’s cover via Instagram on Tuesday. “I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue. Yikes, I know, so mean.”
The “Baby” singer said he made the remark to “get even” with Hailey after feeling disrespected.
However, Justin admitted that he was in the wrong, writing, “I think as we mature, we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even, we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want, which is intimacy and connection.”
“So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken,” he concluded, celebrating Hailey’s big achievement.
Justin later deleted the caption after being criticized by fans in the comments. He replaced the text with a series of emojis.
In her Vogue cover story, Hailey opened up about persistent speculation of a rift in her marriage to Justin.
“It’s not real,” she told Vogue of most of what’s written about her. “And that’s the thing: I have a real life,” she continued. “My real life is that I get to wake up to my beautiful family and my son and my friends and I have people that know me and love me and I love them.”
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has died at the age of 65.
The NFL team broke the news via its social media accounts late Wednesday, May 21, sharing that Irsay died “peacefully in his sleep this afternoon.”
“We are devastated to announce our beloved owner & CEO, Jim Irsay, passed away peacefully in his sleep this afternoon,” said the statement. “Jim’s dedication and passion for the Indianapolis Colts, in addition to his generosity, commitment to the community, and most importantly, his love for his family, were unsurpassed. Our deepest sympathies go to his daughters, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt, Kalen Jackson, and his entire family as we grieve with them.”
The statement continued: “Some of Jim’s fondest memories came from his youth working training camps in Baltimore and growing relationships with players, coaches, and staff whom he considered his extended family. He worked in every department before he was named the youngest general manager in team history in 1984 when the Colts arrived in Indianapolis. After he took sole ownership in 1997, he led the Colts to a long series of division titles and brought the city its first Super Bowl Championship.”
“Jim’s love and appreciation for the NFL, in addition to its history, tradition, and principles, influenced him to become a steward of the game throughout his 50-plus years in the League. Jim’s generosity can be felt all over Indianapolis, the state of Indiana and the country. He made philanthropy a daily endeavor. He never hesitated to help countless organizations and individuals live better lives,” the Colts added. “Music was one of Jim’s passions and the ability to share his band and collection with millions of people across the world brought him tremendous joy. Simply put, he wanted to make the world a better place and that philosophy never wavered.”
“Jim will be deeply missed by his family, the Colts organization, and fans everywhere, but we remain inspired by his caring and unique spirit,” the statement concluded.
Irsay was the principal owner and chairman of the Colts from 1997 until his death after inheriting the team from his father, Robert Irsay, who died in 1997.
Under his watch, the Colts advanced to two Super Bowls and won Super Bowl XLI in 2007.
Colts icon Peyton Manning was among the first people to mourn Irsay’s death. “I am heartbroken to hear about Jim Irsay’s passing. He was an incredibly generous and passionate owner and I will always be indebted to him for giving me my start in the NFL,” the retired quarterback shared via Instagram late Wednesday. “His love for the Colts and the city of Indy was unmatched. His impact on the players who played for him will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and everyone in the Colts community. He will be missed. Jim, rest in peace my friend, #18.”
The former cheerleader, 24, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, May 21, and shared a pic of what she and Belichick, 73, were eating for dinner: Buffalo wings, spiced with Old Bay Seasoning.
“OLD BAY WITH MY OLD BAE,” she captioned the photo, adding emojis of a red heart, a sweaty face and heart hands.
While posting on social media, Hudson did not confirm reports that she and the University of North Carolina football coach are headed to the altar.
In a story published Tuesday, May 20, The New York Times reported that Hudson has ”told at least one person that she and Mr. Belichick are engaged to be married.”
Us Weekly reached out to Hudson and Belichick for comment.
Jordon Hudson’s Instagram Story on May 21.Jordon Hudson/Instagram
The couple went public with their relationship in October 2024 after months of dating rumors. They reportedly met for the first time on a plane in 2021.
Weeks later, journalist Pablo Torre dedicated an episode of his podcast, “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” to Hudson and Belichick, stoking speculation that Hudson has been lying about her age and that she had been banned from football facilities at the University of North Carolina.
“While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,” their statement read. “Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.”
Belichick has recently spoken about Hudson while promoting his new book, The Art of Winning: Lessons From a Life in Football.
“She’s been through the whole process, she’s been very helpful to me,” Belichick said on the May 16 edition of Good Morning America. “She does the business things that don’t relate to North Carolina that come up in my life so I can concentrate on football, and that’s really what I want to do. You know, I acknowledged her in the book, she was very helpful on all that … and also, giving a perspective of the book from the business side. Sometimes I get a little football technical and she did a good job of keeping me on balance there.”
He noted that he and Hudson “have a good personal relationship.”
The sisters discussed Caitlyn (formerly Bruce Jenner), who was married to their mother Kris Jenner from 1991 to 2015, on the Wednesday, May 21, episode of the “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast. (Kris, 69, divorced their father Robert Kardashian in 1991. Robert died in 2003.)
“[Caitlyn] never tried to be Dad and I always appreciated and respected that,” Khloé, 40, said on the podcast.
“OK, so, that wasn’t my experience, but maybe that’s why it became your experience,” Kourtney, 46, replied. “So [I’m] grateful for that for you.”
Kourtney recalled feeling like Caitlyn, now 75, “tried to be controlling and bossy” and would tell her that “certain friends” couldn’t come over.
For Khloé, Kourtney’s memories helped explain why her sibling “didn’t connect” with their stepparent. Khloé previously assumed that Kourtney disliked Kris’ second husband because “he was replacing Dad – not that he did, no one could replace Dad.”

Kourtney recalled fighting with Caitlyn.
“I would be like, ‘I wanna call my Dad,’ and [Caitlyn] would hang up the phone,” Kourtney said. “We would have yelling wars.”
Khloé was surprised to learn from Kourtney that her tension with Caitlyn was the reason that she moved in with Robert.
Besides Khloé and Kourtney, Caitlyn also step-parented Kris and Robert’s two other children, Kim and Rob. Caitlyn and Kris have two children together, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
The Olympian has had a strained relationship with Kris and some of her stepchildren since the couple separated a decade ago amid Caitlyn coming out as transgender.
In 2023, Caitlyn said on an episode of the U.K.’s This Morning that she no longer speaks to Kris.
