After leading an unbelievable comeback in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton celebrated the moment with his girlfriend, Jade Jones.
Jones posted a video via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, May 21, showing the moment she and Haliburton, 25, embraced on the court in an empty Madison Square Garden shortly after the Pacers’ 138-135 overtime victory over the New York Knicks.
“My baby ,” Jones captioned the video, which captured her getting on her tiptoes to hug her 6’5” boyfriend.
Jones also posted a photo of the moment to her Story, writing, “I’m so proud of you .”
Haliburton and Jones have been dating since 2019 after the couple met during their time at Iowa State University, where Haliburton was a star basketball player and Jones was a cheerleader.
Jones celebrated Haiburton’s birthday in February with a carousel of photos from their time together.
“Happy birthday to my best friend!!” Jones wrote via Instagram. “Words will never be able to fully express how special you truly are to me! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world I couldn’t have asked for a better partner to go on this adventure with! You’re my rock forever! I love you so much .”
As for the Pacers’ comeback win, Haliburton hit a buzzer beater at the end of regulation to force overtime, erasing a 14-point deficit with just over three minutes to play.

After his game-tying shot, Haliburton celebrated by mimicking a choke sign, a reference to former Pacers great Reggie Miller’s iconic celebration at Madison Square Garden during the 1995 NBA playoffs.
Haliburton performed the celebration as an homage to Miller, 59, who was sitting courtside calling the game for TNT.
“I wanted [Miller] to see it more than anything,” Haliburton told reporters after the game. “I think it’s just really cool to continue to make my own history and this group to make our own history while also showing respect and love to the ones that came before us. Definitely a special moment and something I won’t forget.”
The famously private Mary-Kate Olsenkicked off the summer season with an ultra-rare public outing in the Hamptons.
Olsen, 38, was spotted walking in the New York suburb on Tuesday, May 20, in photos obtained by Us Weekly. The actress-turned-designer dressed casually in a long black peacoat over wide-legged mauve trousers. She carried an armful of handbags and wore a pair of sunglasses to cover her eyes.
Mary-Kate and her twin sister, Ashley Olsen, have been household names since 1987 when they were both cast as baby Michelle Tanner on Full House. After eight seasons playing the pint-sized Tanner tyke, the Olsens launched their own direct-to-VHS empire and starred in a slew of beloved movies and TV shows, including Billboard Dad, Passport to Paris, Holiday in the Sun and So Little Time that made them a financial fortune.
As Mary-Kate and Ashley, also 38, grew up, they turned from entertainment to fashion, launching high-end, successful sartorial brands such as The Row and Elizabeth & James. While their careers continued to thrive, the twins kept much of their private life under wraps.
“We were raised to be discreet people,” Mary-Kate told i-D magazine in a rare joint interview published in June 2021.
At the time, Ashley also divulged why they often collaborate on professional projects.
“We like working together, and we like having that dialogue. I think it helps harden your ideas to be able to hear them out loud, to speak something through,” Ashley explained to the outlet. “You know, we definitely go by intuition and instinct and it can either confirm that feeling, or if we’re both not feeling right about something, for some reason, we just don’t do it. Our instincts are kind of the same. But I think what’s great is that we have each other to lean on.”

Save for rare outings like Tuesday’s stroll, fans haven’t heard much from either Mary-Kate or Ashley.
“Being in the spotlight as little kids really seems to have impacted how Mary-Kate and Ashley live their adult lives,” a source exclusively told Us Weeklyfor a July 2024 cover story.
A second source, meanwhile, told Us that Mary-Kate, in particular, sought solace after her 2020 divorce from Olivier Sarkozy. (The former child star and Sarkozy, 55, were married for nearly five years.)
“She felt hounded,” the second insider said at the time. “It was too much to handle.”
Now, Mary-Kate often spends her time in the Hamptons, Los Angeles and Europe, while Ashley is primarily based in New York with husband Louis Eisner and their son, Otto, who was born in 2023.
“They’re homebodies who would rather go over line sheets for The Row than be out on the town,” the first source added to Us. “And they’re extremely cautious of who they let in and what they divulge in public.”
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark knows what it’s like to be constantly under the microscope, and she hopes Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are enjoying a break from all the scrutiny.
Though Swift and Kelce, both 35, have temporarily receded from the spotlight, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year hopes both can make it to a Fever game this season.
“I feel like they’re also living — they’re in vacation mode right now,” Clark, 23, told USA Today in a story published Wednesday, May 21.
“So I hope they enjoy a nice little break out of the spotlight,” she added. “But I’m sure they’ll be cheering for the Fever either way.”
Clark struck up a friendship with Swift last year when she attended two of the “Cruel Summer” singer’s Eras Tour shows in Indianapolis. The Fever guard watched the concerts from Swift’s private suite at Lucas Oil Stadium alongside Kelce and Swift’s mom, Andrea.
After the shows, Swift gifted Clark some Eras Tour merch and left a note saying she was hoping to attend a Fever game. The singer also invited Clark to one of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games, which Clark took her up on during the 2024 NFL Playoffs.
Clark watched the Chiefs win the AFC Championship game at Arrowhead Stadium with Swift in a private suite as cameras caught the pair hugging and celebrating after Kelce scored a touchdown.
And as Clark revealed on a January 2025 episode of Travis and his brother Jason’s “New Heights” podcast, her cheers were real.
“I’m a midwest kid,” Clark explained. “I had family in Kansas City and I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, which is only three hours from Kansas City, so that’s the closest NFL team. My dad was a big Chiefs fan growing up. People think I’m a bandwagon Chiefs fan and I’m like, ‘No! I was there before! Before Patrick [Maholmes] and Travis. We were ride or dies.”
While Swift and Kelce are enjoying some time to themselves, the season is just ramping up for Clark and the Fever. With Clark as popular as ever, one of her new teammates, Sophie Cunningham, compared her to Swift in the offseason.
Cunningham, 28, joked in a February appearance on the “Sports and SHEnanigans” podcast that if Clark is the WNBA’s Swift, then she could be the league’s Sabrina Carpenter.
“It really was a joke,” she told Us Weekly in March. “I think that Taylor Swift has helped Sabrina Carpenter so much, and I think that Caitlin Clark has helped not only her teammates, but our whole league, our whole sport in general, not only here in America, but around the world.”
Rapper Kid Cudi is set to testify in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing trial — but not before the court questioned the relevance of his dog.
Judge Arun Subramanian briefly excused the jury on Thursday, May 22, to discuss Cudi’s testimony, according to TheWashington Post. Cudi, now 41, was called to testify about Diddy, now 55, allegedly orchestrating a 2011 burglary at his house. (Cudi dated Cassie that year during one of her breakups from Diddy.)
Diddy’s lawyer Brian Steel wanted Cudi (real name Scott Mescudi) to omit any testimony that his pet dog was “traumatized” by the alleged ordeal. (Diddy hasn’t publicly addressed his reported involvement in the burglary.)
Steel said he didn’t want any “dog lovers on the jury” to be swayed by Cudi’s remarks.
“‘The dog was never the same. The dog urinated on the floor.’ Why do we need that?” Steel asked.
Subramanian, meanwhile, stated that Cudi likely wouldn’t “testify about what the dog thought” before issuing a ruling on the matter. Per the judge, Cudi will be allowed to mention the immediate impact the incident had on his dog without mentioning any alleged “long-term consequences.”
Cudi’s dog has since died, with prosecutor Emily Johnson also agreeing to limit any dog-related questions to the “immediate aftermath” of the burglary.
Diddy was arrested in September 2024 on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all allegations against him and pleaded not guilty.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “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. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.”
Cassie, 38, took the stand in Diddy’s trial earlier this month, claiming that the disgraced music mogul threatened to blow up Cudi’s car when he found out about their romance. (Cassie shared the same claims in her 2023 lawsuit, which Diddy denied before they settled out of court the next day.)
Cassie (full name Casandra Ventura) alleged that Diddy “was going to hurt Scott and I” when he found out about their romance through email correspondence. The “Me & U” singer said that she broke up with Cudi after receiving a number of alleged threats from Diddy.
“Too much danger, too much uncertainty of what could happen if we continued to see each other,” Cassie said.

Kardashian spoke publicly about her plans for the first time in her April 2019Vogue cover story, explaining she blocked out 18 hours of supervised study alongside lawyers Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney each week.
“First year of law school you have to cover three subjects: criminal law, torts, and contracts,” she told the magazine. “To me, torts is the most confusing, contracts the most boring, and crim law I can do in my sleep. Took my first test, I got a 100. Super easy for me. The reading is what really gets me. It’s so time-consuming. The concepts I grasp in two seconds.”
At the time, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s goal was to take the bar in 2022. However, she has to pass the First-Year Law Students’ Examination a.k.a.the “baby bar” before she can continue her education. During a May 2021 episode of her family’s former reality show, she revealed she failed the baby bar after her first attempt in the summer of 2020.
After multiple tries, Kardashian finally passed the baby bar while continuing on with her four-year apprenticeship program.
Scroll through for more on Kardashian’s law journey:
The Skims founder revealed that she secretly “registered with the California State Bar to study law” one year prior.
“I’ve seen some comments from people who are saying it’s my privilege or my money that got me here, but that’s not the case,” she wrote via social media at the time. “One person actually said I should ‘stay in my lane.’ I want people to understand that there is nothing that should limit your pursuit of your dreams, and the accomplishment of new goals. You can create your own lanes, just as I am. The state bar doesn’t care who you are. Everyone can take this route if you live in a state where this is allowed.”
After taking the baby bar for the third time, Kim told Kristen Bell and Monica Padman on their “We Are Supported By…” podcast that she would start to “question” herself if she failed again.
“I think I did well,” she said. “So if I don’t pass, I am going to be so f—king pissed, you have no idea.”
The KKW Beauty founder announced she passed the “baby bar” on her fourth try. “I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years,” she revealed via Instagram. “But I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!!”
She added, “I did have COVID on the 3rd try w[ith] a 104 fever but I’m not making excuses 😉.”
Kardashian revealed she still has a lot of studying to do before she takes the official bar exam.
“I’m probably going to take the bar in February 2025,” Kim said at the 2023 Time100 Summit in New York City. “I think it’s like a 36 percent pass rate."
Us Weekly confirmed that Kardashian graduated from her apprenticeship, which her family celebrated with a surprise brunch.
“They are all excited and proud of her and wanted to surprise her to celebrate this accomplishment,” a source told Us. “Her law mentors are also surprising her, and she has no clue they will be there.”
According to the insider, Kardashian also passed the multistate professional responsibility exam, which is a 60-question multiple-choice test that is a prerequisite to the bar exam. Once she passes the bar, she will be allowed to practice law in California.
After hinting at his plans to propose in the future, T.J. Holmes just referred to girlfriend Amy Robach as his wife.
While cohosting the “I Do, Part 2″ podcast on Wednesday, May 21, Holmes, 47, kicked off the episode by introducing him and Robach, 52, saying, “If you got love right the first time around, this ain’t the show for you. I’m T.J. Holmes, alongside my friend, my partner, my podcast cohost Amy Robach.”
Holmes stopped the introduction after noting it felt “so impersonal.” Robach agreed about how “very clinical” Holmes sounded as he tried to find other ways to refer to their relationship.
“With my person, my partner, my spouse. What’s the right way to put it?” he asked before Robach offered the term “love of my life” to him. “Love of my life — there it is! That you had to feed me that line is a little disturbing.”
“I think you probably avoided saying it because it’s overused all the time on all the reality shows we watch and you roll your eyes when people call each other the love of their lives,” she told Holmes. “Then we look up and two months later, they’re broken up. So I think you probably tried not to use that.”
While Robach and Holmes didn’t acknowledge him calling her his spouse, they circled back to their relationship later in the episode. Robach was breaking down the timeline of her past marriages to Andrew Shue and Tim McIntosh, respectively, when Holmes pointed out that he waited “longer” before getting married to his exes. (He was married to Amy Ferson from 2004 to 2007 and Marilee Fiebig from 2010 to 2023.)
Robach subsequently joked about how long Holmes would wait before his “third” marriage. The pair have not been shy when discussing their plans to tie the knot in the future. Since launching their podcast in December 2024, Robach and Holmes have been candid about their relationship, which made headlines when they were seen getting cozy outside of the GMA studio on numerous occasions.
At the time photos of them were leaked, Robach had been married to Shue, 58, since 2010, and Holmes had been married to Fiebig since 2010. They both filed for divorce after their relationship was exposed in November 2022.
Robach and Holmes have not been afraid of sharing the low moments in their romance. During a January 2024 episode of their podcast, Holmes and Robach released an episode where they worked through an issue in their relationship live.
“We just wanted to check in and let you know that, despite what you’ve been hearing, we are still together. We’re hearing from a lot of you all on our latest episode of the podcast,” Holmes said via Instagram video that same month. “It was something we really struggled and debated about whether or not we should even put out there — but at this point I’m glad we did.”
Robach added: “Our larger goal in putting out our latest episode was to show that, yes, we like to show pictures of us smiling like everyone else and laughing on social media, but if we want to be real and we want to be transparent, we wanted to show all the sides of us and I would say most relationships. So we hope that all you get something out of it, and we hope you keep coming back.”
If you were watching MTV in 2006 — or listening to country radio when Taylor Swift’s Fearless was at the top of the charts — there’s a strong chance you came across Cheyenne Kimball. After rediscovering the singer-songwriter on TikTok, Us Weekly reached out to speak to the former teen star about the days of getting advice from John Mayer, touring with Swift and picking up her guitar for the first time in a decade.
The ‘Cheyenne’ Days
After winning the TV show America’s Most Talented Kid at 12, MTV started documenting Kimball’s life for Cheyenne, an eight-episode docuseries, just shy of her 15th birthday. “No one in my life believed me that I was actually doing it,” Kimball told Us. “The show ended up coming out right around my 16th birthday, so it took like a whole year for that turnaround. … [It’s been] 20 years. I can’t believe it.”
At the time, MTV hadn’t completely transitioned from music content to full-on reality TV (though Laguna Beach and The Hills were top-rated shows), with The Osbournes, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, The Ashlee Simpson Show, Diary specials and, of course, TRL still keeping the music ties alive.
“I had watched Laguna Beach, I did watch The Ashlee Simpson Show, so I had an idea of what I was getting into. They stayed so true to me, which makes me very happy. I mean, there were some times when there was a little bit of drama made, but for the most part, it wasn’t super scripted or anything. That was my fear. I didn’t want things to come across fake. I didn’t want people to see just ‘drama, drama, drama’ because other than the fact that I was a child star, there wasn’t a whole lot of drama,” Kimball said. “I feel like they did that with Ashlee too.”
Back then, the production wasn’t what reality TV has become. “It was one or two guys with a big camera. I was always like, ‘Do you need to rest your shoulder? Do you wanna take a break and eat a hamburger? I feel really bad, you’re just following me around all day with this really heavy piece of equipment,'” Kimball recalled. “You get to know each other really well when you’re in the same room together, pretty much 24/7.”

Cheyenne’s first single, “Hanging On,” pulled double duty as the show’s theme song and marked her debut on the Billboard Hot 100. “It was a dream come true,” she said. “Because at that age, I wanted so badly to be taken seriously.”
Like any young star, Kimball began to get more attention, both from commenters online and A-list celebrities.
“I remember having MySpace back then and getting some comments that I still have burned into my brain that have never gone away. And no matter how many good ones I got, those one or two really bad ones stayed with me — and that’s heartbreaking,” Kimball told Us. “John Mayer himself told me not to read comments. He said,’That’s like listening in on a conversation you’re not a part of. You gotta stop doing that.’ He had asked me what’s the hardest thing about being a teen star? And I was like, ‘People are really mean online.’ But I had no idea what was to come [with social media], so I consider myself lucky.”
“[Kelly] was the sweetest person ever, and we were talking about going bowling, which we never did. I would really still love to do that — I wanna go bowling with Kelly Clarkson and live out my 16-year-old dream,” she said with a laugh. “It was really cool touring with the Jonas Brothers. They were just starting out when I was, and we did a mall tour together. I won’t tell you which one I had a crush on — but I did end up getting to hang out with him again later at the White House.”
Joining Gloriana
Two years after her debut album, The Day Has Come, was released, Kimball was asked to join a country band with brothers Tom and Mike Gossin and singer Rachel Reinert after relocating to Nashville from Los Angeles.

“Things were kind of dying down. I could feel the momentum slowing. And I was like, ‘I just want to go hide for a moment,'” Kimball said. Up until that point, her mother was acting as her manager. (But don’t worry, it wasn’t like that. “I called myself a stage child ’cause [people would ask], ‘You have a stage mom?’ And I’m like, ‘No, I’m a stage child. I forced my mother into this,'” she noted.)
Kimball then met Doc McGhee, who managed Mötley Crüe and Darius Rucker (who had just transitioned from Hootie & the Blowfish vocalist to solo country artist). McGhee introduced her to her current manager, Gary Bowen, whose roommate was “looking for a Stevie Nicks kind of girl for a four-part harmony group.”
“I thought at the time it would be so cool to not have to carry everything on my own shoulders and share the vocals and the light and the experience with other people and share the experience with other people,” Kimball recalled. “I had to learn mandolin in two weeks.”
The foursome lived off pizza at an Oakwoods apartment in a “bootcamp” of sorts. “We were working on vocals, rehearsing, recording — it was very intense,” she said. “But we got so tight, like, our harmonies and everything we just clicked in.”
Gloriana’s first single, “Wild at Heart,” made waves on CMT and became the best-selling country music debut single of 2009. The band’s self-titled album also included the single “How Far Do You Wanna Go?” and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 2000. Gloriana subsequently hit the road with Swift and Kellie Pickler for The Fearless Tour, which ran from April 2009 to July 2010.
“The whole tour was a whirlwind,” Kimball said. “We were out for a year and a half [and] I feel like [at one point] we were on the road for 360 days [straight]. I went to my apartment for five days and I slept the whole time.”
Still, Kimball has fond memories of Swift. “Taylor was really wonderful,” she said, recalling the now-insanely famous pop star buying her birthday gifts from Anthropology and complimenting her perfume when Pickler and Gloriana would join Swift on stage for “I’m Only Me When I’m With You.”
One regret from that time period was not recording one of Swift’s songs when given the chance.
“When I was younger, I was very stubborn. I didn’t want to cut other people’s songs. I was like, ‘Oh no, I wanna write everything.’ Taylor had mentioned that she had pitched me some songs and I was like, ‘I’m so sorry. I told my management and my label don’t give me anything. I’m writing it all. … Don’t take any offense to that. I probably didn’t even hear any of it. I’m sorry!'” Kimball recalled before, naturally, admitting, “I should’ve cut her songs!”
While she didn’t take Swift up on the offer, Miley Cyrus recorded one of Kimball’s songs titled “Four Walls” for 2008’s Breakout. Kimball got the call about Cyrus’ interest while on the tour bus with Gloriana. “It was a surreal moment and she did such a good job with it,” she said. “[When we finally met], she was just an absolute angel and gave me the biggest hug. She’s like, ‘Thank you so much for letting me have your song.’ And I was just like, ‘You’re Miley Cyrus? Take whatever you want.’”
Out of the Spotlight

Not long after the success of the song “Wanna Take You Home” in 2011, Kimball abruptly left Gloriana before the release of their second album.
“I struggled a lot just trying to find myself,” Kimball recalled. “It wasn’t even about the fact that I’d already had prior success or anything. I thought I would have something to relate to, but I didn’t feel like I had anyone to relate to. I felt very lonely sometimes. … I don’t think a lot of people realized how young I was. I didn’t realize how young I was. By the time I was 21, I had just gotten to a point where I needed a break. That’s why I disappeared for a while.”
“I didn’t really have those normal experiences of finding myself,” Kimball continued. “I had other people kind of telling me what I was. … I snapped a little bit and I didn’t have anything else to give.”
Kimball went on a “whole journey” of “really deep diving into Cheyenne,” which included several different types of therapy (one-on-one therapy, group therapy and equine therapy).
“I had some brutal talks with people who made me realize that I had a mask on. I had no idea that I was just this all the time,” she said. “I went full blown Hannah Montana. I dyed my hair dark and just was like, ‘I’m hiding you.’ People didn’t recognize me anymore. And I think that was probably healthy for me at the time.”
During Kimball’s “massive break,” she didn’t even pick up her guitar once. “The first time I played after my break, I cried,” she told Us.
What’s Next
Now, after having daughter Nico, 8, Kimball is back with manager Bowen and writing music again.
“For the first time in my life, I feel like I’m solid and I’m ready to go and I have so much to say,” she said. “One song I’m working on right now is about being in a long-distance relationship ’cause that’s what I am with my honey right now. He lives in Los Angeles [and we’re in Tennessee]. He and I are actually writing it together. I have a song that I’m writing for my daughter, ‘I Hope You Dance’-esque. But also the Cheyenne in me is always there and she’s always gonna be there — the breakup songs it’s never gonna go away. Call it daddy issues, I don’t know. … I’m just like, ‘Gosh, why am I so angry?’ I’m actually a really happy person!”

Kimball describes the sound as country-pop. “I’m always gonna have pop in there, but country is just such a wonderful genre and they’re so open to female singer songwriters,” she said.
She’s also posting videos on TikTok and Instagram, covering her old music and other music under a series titled “Songs I Want My Daughter to Know.”
“I was so scared to put myself back out there again. I’m not gonna lie, I was terrified. I was like, ‘I’m gonna be eaten alive.’ But I’m shocked in the most positive way,” Kimball said of the response. “Everyone’s been so amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better response.”
She concluded, “I’m healed. I did the work. I think I could handle most of anything that life threw at me at this point.”
Since 1990, model and actor Pamela Anderson has been making headlines for her legendary looks. And now in the last few years, the model and actor has made headlines for her jaw-dropping “no makeup” looks. And most recently, she stunned all of us with her new ‘do. Now, we’re dying to style our hair like Pamela.
We spoke with celebrity hair stylist Angela Calisti, who’s styled major Hollywood stars like Sophia Richie, Bella Thorne, Olivia Culpo and more. She tells us that although the haircut itself requires regular trims, styling it daily is pretty simple.
“Pamela’s transformation is daring, chic, and modern,” Calisti says. “This sharp, chin-length bob with micro bangs breaks away from her iconic sexy beachy waves.”
Going Under the (Scissors): Getting Pamela Anderson’s New Hair Cut
Calisti says Pamela’s new hair style is like “a power suit for your face.” While you likely aren’t going to be doing this yourself — and should definitely show your stylist a picture for reference, she explains how she’d go about doing it.
“I’d start by cutting the bob just below the chin, slightly angled to give softness around the jawline. I’d use a feather razor or texture scissors to texturize the micro fringe for softness,” she explains. “[For upkeep], short haircuts like this require a trim every 4–5 weeks. I’d also recommend a monthly gloss or clear gloss treatment to keep it looking rich and smooth.”
“With short hair texture is everything,” Calisti explains. “It’s gentle, adds shine, and leaves the hair [calm].”
2. Protection is Key: Next, you’ll want to evenly work in Color Wow Dreamcoat. Brush it out from the middle of your strands to the ends, to make sure your hair is moisturized and soft.
“This acts like a raincoat for your hair,” she says. “I love it on bobs because it keeps the strands sleek and frizz-free
3. Style It: Unless you have a good hair day everyday, styling a short ‘do without heat is tricky. That’s why Calisti recommends using Olivia Garden Ceramic / Ion Round Brush (1.75”) and a blow drier or blowout brush.
“Use these tools to smooth the ends and slightly flip them under or out depending on the vibe,” Calisti tells Us Weekly. “For the bangs, I recommend using a mini flat iron
4. Add Body: Nobody wants flat hair… that’s why you’ll want to spray in a generous amount of Living Proof, The Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo next. It’s a dry shampoo that actually cleans your hair!
“I spray this lightly at the roots to give a bit of movement and volume,” she adds.
5. Shine, Baby: Finally, work in a drop of Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil, starting from the top, and working down to the ends.
“Just a drop to define the ends and add a healthy shine,” Calisti says.
Reneé Rapp is raising some eyebrows with certain lyrics in her latest single that appear to reference her time on Sex Lives With College Girls.
Rapp, 25, surprised fans with the release of “Leave Me Alone” on Wednesday, May 21, the first song from her upcoming record, Bite Me. Listeners have speculated that the song’s second verse is a pointed shot at the entertainment industry as a whole — including Rapp’s past role as Leighton on Sex Lives With College Girls since the show was canceled after she left the series.
“My manager called me, said ‘Where’s the single?’ / Leave me alone, bitch, I wanna have fun / Oh, you’re breaking up, babe? I don’t got no signal,” Rapp sings. “Sign a hundred NDAs but I still say something / Leave me alone, bitch, I wanna have fun / I took my sex life with me, now the show ain’t f***ing.”
Rapp even went as far as to flip off the camera with two middle fingers in the “Leave Me Alone” music video, which was also released on Wednesday.
Fans have since related to the lyric on social media while also praising the catchy tune.
“Reneé Rapp ur not real,” one listener shared via X, while another added that they were “so ready for summer” with Rapp’s new music coming soon. (Bite Me will be released on Friday, August 1.)

As for the Sex Lives of College Girls shade — Rapp has quite the history with the show, which debuted on HBO Max in November 2021. The singer played Leighton for two seasons, announcing her departure from the show in July 2023. (The show was canceled in March after three seasons.)
“College Girls moved me out to LA and introduced me to some of my favorite people. 2 and a half years later — it’s give me y’all and this community,” Rapp shared via Instagram at the time, thanking the show’s creators, including Mindy Kaling. “A lot of queer works gets belittled — but playing Leighton has changed my life.”

She added, “I love who I am 10x more than I did before knowing her. I hope she gave y’all a little bit of that too. She’s such a tiny part of the representation but even the tiny parts count. I wouldn’t be half the person I am without her and y’all. I’m so excited for this season and I can’t wait for you to see what we have coming for her and the girls.”
Rapp briefly appeared in the first two episodes of season 3, which premiered in November 2024, before her character ultimately transferred to another college. Gracie Lawrence joined the show as Kacey following Rapp’s absence. However, Lawrence made it clear she was not “replacing” Rapp on the show.
“I think Kacey’s very different,” Lawrence, 27, told Us Weeklyexclusively in December 2024. “Leighton is a beloved iconic character. I don’t think anyone — from the creators of the show to any of the actors — would want to step on the toes of that.”
The sportscaster shared that her surrogate had a miscarriage with her second baby during the Thursday, May 22, episodes of her podcast, “Calm Down with Erin and Charissa.”
“We got some real s***ty news today that our surrogate had miscarried. So I have dealt with this before, but things were going really, really well. And her little heartbeat and her numbers were really good — so much so I even told you guys a couple weeks ago because we thought we had such good news,” Andrews, 47, said, noting that the podcast has been a safe place for her to share updates on growing her family.
Andrews, who is already mom to 2-year-old son Mack with husband Jarret Stoll, explained she hadn’t yet shared the news publicly but was hopeful since it seemed to be a healthy pregnancy.
“Been sitting here thinking about Taylor Swift’s song, ‘I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.’ I’m really good at doing this s*** with a broken heart,” Andrews said, noting that although her producer gave her the option to stay silent on the topic she wanted to bring it up.
“I think I kinda made a promise to myself that when I was really open with how s***ty infertility has been and our journey with two surrogates, because we did lose … we had loss with our first surrogate and then luckily with our second one, we had Mack, that I was just going to be honest with people.”
She continued: “But, like I said, when I was first dealing with all these infertility issues and loss that I just wanted to let other people know that we’re dealing with them, that I get it and I understand. And I’m going to do that again. This really, really sucks but so many people are dealing with it so if you feel alone and you feel like a failure, I do too. But you’re not the only one.”

Andrews added that many families share their successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) stories but not everyone is honest about their losses.
“I just wanted to be open with people and be like, ‘This sucks.’ And today, this really does. It makes you really realize when I have my little boy, and today he was throwing a fit royale with us, it’s like, you know what? It doesn’t matter,” she said
Andrews and Stoll, 42, welcomed their first baby, Mack, via surrogate in July 2023, after years of fertility ups and downs. Andrews has been open about her journey to motherhood, telling Us Weekly in January 2023 that it was “not easy.”
“It’s been one of the most challenging things in my life, and I know in my husband’s life as well,” she told Us at the time.
Reflecting on the biggest lesson she’s learned from her experience with IVF, she said, “I can take about 50 needles in my stomach and just handle it better than my husband ever could. He’s always in the other room watching Seinfeld. I’m like, ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got this, just stabbing myself for the 50th time.’ You know that you’re strong and that you can deal with it and it will get better.”
Andrews and Stoll tied the knot in June 2017 after nearly five years of dating. In 2016, amid hoopla surrounding her stalker trial, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer and received treatment. She continued on with her career as an NFL analyst and, after two surgeries, she was pronounced cancer-free.
“After the trial everyone kept telling me, ‘You’re so strong, for going through all of this, for holding down a job in football, for being the only woman on the crew,’” Andrews told Sports Illustrated in 2017. “Finally I got to the point where I believed it too. ‘Hey, I have cancer, but dammit, I am strong, and I can do this.’”
Andrews is keeping the same mentality when it comes pushing through pregnancy loss.
“We’ll be good. I was saying to Jarret today .. .this is like the hardest part,” Andrews admitted on her podcast. “But I just didn’t want to be back here in the loss column.”
Kylie Jenneris sizzling in one bikini pic at a time.
Jenner, 27, took to Instagram on Wednesday, May 21, to show off her figure in a sexy one-piece by Roberto Cavalli, which retails for $647. While catching some sun rays, she modeled the blue-and-white floral swimsuit, featuring a barely-there design with small cups that exposed her underboob and massive cutouts on her side. The rest of the design was equipped with high-cut legs and a cheeky back.
Jenner glammed up her chic swimwear with silver accessories, including chunky rings, which she stacked on her fingers and Silent Opus’ Silver Chunky Huggie earrings.
For glam, Jenner donned a full beat with dewy skin, warm brown eyeshadow blended to her crease, long lashes and pink-lined lips. She completed her makeup with sun-kissed cheeks, courtesy of her Kylie Cosmetics Hybrid Blush, which launched on Tuesday, May 20.
“Ready for summer ,” Jenner captioned the post. Fans were quick to praise The Kardashians star in the comments section.

This is hardly the first swim moment Jenner has shared with her fans since vacationing in Turks and Caicos. On May 20, she looked super stylish in a black Gimagus triangle top adorned with silver studs. She teamed the top with matching boy shorts and splashed in the ocean with her son Aire, 3, whom she shares with ex Travis Scott.
Elsewhere on her getaway, Jenner rocked a nearly $10,000 vintage red crystal-adorned Chanel bikini once worn by Claudia Schiffer, as well as a gold one-shoulder set by Cult Gaia.
Clearly, Jenner has one of the most stylish bikini collections of all time.
In photos obtained by The Sun, the Celebrity Big Brother UK costars were recently spotted kissing on a pool floatie at an adults-only hotel in Mexico. Hughes, 32, appeared to hold a drink in his hand as he leaned in toward Siwa, 22.
Us Weekly has reached out to Siwa and Hughes’ reps for comment.
The kissing pic comes shortly after Siwa and Hughes fueled relationship speculation by sharing several photos of each other via Instagram. “This years birthday week was more magical than anything,” Siwa captioned a carousel of photos on Wednesday, May 21, many of which featured herself and Hughes looking loved-up.
She continued, “Full of surprises, family time, performing, chilling, laughing, loving, smiling, and good meaningful cries. Absolutely beautiful, wouldn’t change a single thing a week I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”
Siwa’s snaps included one in which she and Hughes hold hands, as well as photos of them sharing breakfast, cuddling on a couch together and Hughes placing his hand on her leg.
In an Instagram post of his own, Hughes shared a pic of he and Siwa hanging out in a pool. “The previous 7 days have been the prettiest.. ,” he captioned the Tuesday, May 20, post, which featured more snaps of Hughes with Siwa and her family.

Siwa and Hughes met while competing on Celebrity Big Brother UK earlier this year. In addition to frequently being shown snuggling in bed together, writing each other secret messages and giving each other makeovers Hughes came to Siwa’s defense when she faced homophobic comments from fellow housemate Mickey Rourke.
Siwa also got candid about her sexuality with Hughes, revealing she no longer identified as a lesbian but as queer. Siwa broke up with her ex Kath Ebbs shortly after the show’s end, exclusively telling Us in her digital cover story earlier this month that Hughes “had absolutely nothing to do with my breakup.”
While Ebbs, 27, doesn’t believe any actual cheating went on between Siwa and Hughes on the reality series, they told Betches earlier this month that they were still hurt by their onscreen and closeness.
“I genuinely just thought that because of the Mickey Rouke thing, she had kind of trauma bonded a bit to Chris as he was the only one that stood up for her and didn’t gaslight her,” Ebbs told the outlet in an interview published on May 14. “So I thought that was a trauma bond that had kind of gone too far because of the environment in which they were in.”
Siwa gave an update on her bond with Hughes in her Us digital cover story. “We still speak all the time, obviously, naturally,” she shared. “Now to be out of the house, we just exist, and it is what it is. We’re happy, and we have each other. It’s a great little special friendship that we have.”
The Dance Moms alum also called herself the “No. 1 JoJo and Chris stan,” adding, “I see all the edits and I’m like, ‘I wanna see more dancing. I wanna see more of what’s happening.’ I am the scroller on TikTok now. I understand why the people are enjoying it.”
JJ’s husband, Will, just died on Criminal Minds — but did her reunion with Reid hint at their future romance?
During the Thursday, May 22, episode of the Paramount+ show, Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) appeared at Will’s (Josh Stewart) funeral to show support to JJ (A. J. Cook) and her sons. The group shared a hug before Reid joined the rest of his former team: Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), Luke Alvez (Adam Rodriguez), David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) and Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler).
The church service moved to the cemetery, which showed everyone trickling away after Will’s body was buried. The only people left at his grave were JJ and Reid, who embraced before walking away together as Bruce Springsteen‘s “If I Should Fall Behind” played in the background.
“I’ll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me,” Springsteen sang as JJ held onto Reid’s arm. The emotional moment serves as a reminder of JJ and Reid’s relationship, which could be explored further in future episodes of Criminal Minds: Evolution.
Criminal Minds debuted on CBS in 2005 with JJ introduced as the communications liaison for the Behavioral Analysis Unit while Reid was an agent. Reid’s crush was known by most of the people on their team — and they even went on a date — but the pair ultimately remained friends.
Throughout the seasons, Reid’s feelings for JJ were mentioned at some points but it wasn’t until season 15 that JJ professed her love for Reid. They admitted that they were in love with each other — except JJ was married to Will by that point and Reid was the godfather to their sons.

Showrunner Erica Messer explained at the time that JJ and Reid would remain “best friends.”
“It will never be discussed the way it was discussed in [the premiere], but there will still be sort of ‘knowing looks’ and moments through the end,” Messer teased to TVLine in 2020. “[We are introducing a new love interest for Reid]. This was our version of giving Reid a shot at some kind of romance, which has always been a big sticking point with the show.”
Messer defended exploring Reid’s love life — outside of JJ.

“I think that creatively, people wanted to go down that path with him, but realistically introducing a new love interest for anyone can become difficult because you have to give it this ‘energy’ that takes away from the crime solving of the week,” she continued. “But again, it was one of those things on the wish list of, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if we saw Reid meet somebody who’s worthy of him?'”
Following Will’s death, JJ will need time to process but fans have already questioned if Reid’s return — however brief — was a set-up for something bigger down the line. It remains to be seen since Gubler is focused on filming his CBS seriesEinstein.
Criminal Minds is currently streaming on Paramount+.
Everyone wants to look and feel young. It’s why the rich, famous and everyday people like Us search for anti-aging remedies — everything from supplements and therapies to treatments, diets and skincare. But the mature skincare market is particularly saturated, making it hard to separate fleeting fads from effective, research-backed formulas. This is 10 times harder with serums; everything claims to “tighten,” “firm” and “turn back the clock.”

If you’ve tried standard retinol serums with little to no luck, this Crystal Retinal Serum has you covered, using an upgraded form of vitamin A that the brand says acts 11 times faster than traditional retinol.
Retinaldehyde is the superstar in this formula, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tones and rough textures. It also contains vitamin E, glycerin and hyaluronic acid, a hydration powerhouse that retains moisture like a sponge. Together, these ingredients nourish, hydrate and improve elasticity, yielding a dewy, youthful complexion that’s visibly supple, shoppers say.
There are five Crystal Retinal strengths to choose from, allowing you to customize your skincare regimen and gradually incorporate more retinaldehyde as your skin adjusts.

Whether you’re just starting your anti-aging skincare journey or use vitamin A on the daily, there’s a formula with your name on it.
Unlike a lot of anti-aging serums on the market, this serum has results to back it up. The formula is clinically proven to reduce wrinkles in seven days, minimize dark spots, increase firmness and boost clarity, making it an all-around winner for any age-related skin concerns. After using one tube of the crowd-loved Retinol 6, 97% of study participants noticed a more youthful appearance and 100% agreed it felt gentle.
And it’s not just study participants getting results: This serum has earned thousands of five-star reviews. One reviewer calls it one of the “best decisions” they’ve “ever made” for their skin, adding, “A friend that lives in another country texted me asking what I’m doing to have such a radiant and beautiful skin, just by seeing some pics I posted.”
Another calls it the “best vitamin A product on the market,” writing, ” I decided to try Medik8 Crystal Retinal and see if it was worth the hype. I was amazed that my sensitive skin handled this really well with no adverse reaction, definitely feels clearer, smoother and more even as a result.”

Australian OnlyFans star Annie Knight had the support of her fiancé, Henry Brayshaw, from afar while sleeping with 583 men in six hours.
“He was actually at work the day of the event, but he called me in the morning, wished me luck, said, ‘Make us proud. Have fun. Be safe,’” Knight, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly after completing the challenge on Sunday, May 18. “And then called me the night of and was like, ‘How was it?’ And I told him all about it.”
Knight said that Brayshaw, to whom she got engaged in March, was “just really stoked” that she “went above and beyond” her initial goal of 200 men showing up to the event.
“He was proud of me for completing it, because I think he was a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to and that I’d be upset that I couldn’t do it,” she told Us. “He was just really happy for me.”
Knight, whose previous record was 24 men in a day, admitted she was “a little bit worried” that she was “gonna really struggle with it.” However, Knight told Us that the experience was “fine,” adding that she was “shocked by how easy it was.”
The shocking stunt, however, ultimately landed Knight in the hospital, she shared days after the event. The OnlyFans star — who suffers from endometriosis — confirmed to Us that she underwent blood tests and further medical testing.

“I’m not doing very well, I’ve been bleeding a lot since the challenge,” Knight told Us. “It was definitely a bit raw down there and I did get a small cut.”
Knight went on to tell Us that her body “just hit a wall,” noting that she’s “exhausted” from organizing the event while simultaneously buying her “dream house.” She explained that her endometriosis became “worse,” noting that “hormonal imbalances can cause irregular and heavy periods” — which is what she has been “dealing with since.”
“The prognosis is good, and it looks like I’m going to have to take a week off, try and relax a little bit, sit out in the sun, just take it easy for a little while,” Knight said. “But I’ll definitely be OK. I’m not letting this slow me down.”
Knight and Brayshaw first crossed paths a decade ago when they were working at a pub. The pair continued a friendship outside of work and tried dating a few years later but it “just wasn’t really the right time.”
“We’ve just grown closer and closer and been best friends the past few years,” she told Us. “It wasn’t really till the end of last year where we kind of like, ‘Hmm, I wonder if there’s something else here.’ We both were sort of feeling it. But we were like, ‘No, it’s not time yet, I’ve got my job and I’ve got my work.’ We had different goals.”
In March, the twosome traveled to Cancun with OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue, and Brayshaw told Knight he was “in love” with her. One week later, the couple were engaged — and are not looking back. Knight and Brayshaw are set to tie the knot in Australia’s Gold Coast in October 2026.

“I’ve known him forever, and we just were so perfect for each other in an unconventional way. A lot of people are like, ‘I don’t understand how this works.’ But we do and that’s what’s important and that’s why it is so perfect, because we understand it,” she told Us. “I just immediately knew it was a yes. I’m really excited to marry him.”
As they gear up to say “I do,” Knight explained that the couple is sleeping in separate rooms for the time being — but plans to switch up their sleeping arrangement soon with a new move.
“The house is a lot bigger, so we’re gonna get a king bed and sort of give that a go. But we’ll have a lot of spare bedrooms, so if he’s ever snoring, I can always sneak off and sleep in one of them,” Knight quipped.
While Knight is intimate with other people as part of her job, she clarified that their personal relationship is monogamous.
“He definitely doesn’t sleep with other people. Obviously, with my work, it’s part of my job and I need to so he understands that. But he also understands that I’m getting married to him,” she said. “If he was to go and be with other girls, it would be very different because it’s not work for him, so it would be because he wanted to. A lot of people have question marks around that but we understand how that works.”
Out of respect for Brayshaw, Knight initially implemented a kissing boundary with the men she sleeps with since she finds that to be “the most intimate” component of having sex. After the couple had a conversation, however, Knight explained that she’s “open” to kissing her participants.
“I definitely kissed a few of the guys on Sunday who — that’s what they wanted,” she said. “They really wanted to kiss me and I was open to it because I’d had that conversation with Henry, and he said that that was fine.”
Amy Robach is looking back on her relationship with ex-husband Andrew Shue — calling their whirlwind engagement “embarrassing.”
While cohosting the “I Do, Part 2” podcast on Wednesday, May 21, with boyfriend T.J. Holmes, the couple discussed how long they dated their respective exes before tying the knot.
“[My] first one I was so young, but it was a year engagement,” Robach, 52, recalled about her romance with Tim McIntosh, whom she was married to from 1996 to 2008. “I dated for a year and then got engaged after a year. So I got married after two years.”
Robach called her next marriage — to Shue — a “little embarrassing,” adding, “I got engaged after four months and I got married after 10 months of meeting him.”
Holmes, 47, meanwhile, waited “longer” before getting married to his exes. He was married to Amy Ferson from 2004 to 2007 and Marilee Fiebig from 2010 to 2023.
Elsewhere in the episode, Robach joked about how long Holmes would wait before his “third” marriage. (The pair have been quite candid about their eventual plans to walk down the aisle after dating for more than two years following their scandal.)

In November 2022, news broke about Robach’s split from Shue, 58, after she was spotted spending time with Holmes, her then-GMA3 coanchor. Us Weekly broke the news in January 2023 that Robach and Holmes were officially axed from ABC and the network later confirmed their departure from GMA3.
“To be clear, we were outed as being in a relationship, but everyone else thought we were being outed as adulterers — being outed as cheating on our spouses — and it wasn’t the case because the odd thing is, the day those pictures were taken and the day that article was released, we both, at that point, were in divorce proceedings,” Holmes said in the debut episode of his and Robach’s “Amy and T.J.” podcast in December 2023.
Robach, meanwhile, claimed that her marriage to Shue was over before she started dating Holmes. (Shue and Holmes’ ex-wife Fiebig are now currently dating.)
“We had attorneys, mediators, we were in the middle of divorces,” she shared at the time. “We thought we were protecting our children and our families and we thought we had time and we thought we had a right to privacy and maybe that was foolish and silly.”

When it comes to a potential engagement, Robach and Holmes have explained why they aren’t in a rush.
“It’s not an if, it’s a when. I like that. I actually appreciate that,” Robach said on their podcast in December 2024 before revealing how Holmes turned her down when she asked about proposing to him. “T.J., you told me that I should never propose to you.”
Holmes seemed surprised by Robach’s statement, to which she added, “Remember, we were talking about women proposing to men? But I’m just saying that if I answer this, I feel like that’d be kind of in part me saying when I would like to get married.”
Robach continued: “We don’t have a date, obviously, and we haven’t even decided what we’re going to do. [But] I said I want to and I’d like to in the fall [and] that would be akin to me proposing to you.”
Earlier this year, the duo spoke with Usabout their strong connection. “I haven’t found somebody I want to grow old with. I’ve found the person to stay young with,” he gushed during a joint interview in March. “She literally is someone who stops and smells the roses.”
Robach, meanwhile, said she was grateful to have found Holmes.
“This guy is my favorite person to do anything and everything with,” she added. “He brings so much joy and so much laughter into every situation. I have never laughed so much with one person in my entire life. So if you can find someone to laugh with, that’s your person.”
Meryl Streep‘s daughter Louisa Jacobson shared her honest thoughts on Martin Short amid his rumored romance with her mother.
Jacobson, 33, was asked about Short, 75, while speaking to Elle in a profile published on Thursday, May 22. “I don’t know him super well,” she replied, referring to Short as a “great, great guy.”
While Jacobson didn’t elaborate on the speculation surrounding Short and Streep, 75, the pair have been spotted together recently filming Only Murders in the Building. The twosome originally crossed paths on the set of the hit Hulu series before spending more time together off screen.
Along with Jacobson, Streep shares kids Grace, Henry and Mamie with Don Gummer. The actress announced in 2023 that the couple called it quits more than six years prior. Short, for his part, met actress Nancy Dolman in 1972 and they tied the knot eight years later. Short shared three kids, Katherine, Oliver, and Henry, with his late wife, who died in 2010 from ovarian cancer.
Streep portrays Short’s love interest on Only Murders in the Building, and the duo’s public appearances off camera sparked speculation that they are dating. A rep for Short denied the rumors in a January 2024 statement.
Short and Streep’s characters, Oliver and Loretta, got married during season 4 of the series, which also stars Selena Gomez and Steve Martin. Ahead of season 5, which is currently filming in New York, creator John Hoffman explained why Loretta left for a job overseas shortly after exchanging vows with Oliver.

“There are a lot of reasons [for that decision]. I’ll cop to that for sure. But I think, ultimately, I delighted in it, and we said yes to it because it felt like a funny, believable thing now. If you’re working in TV and film, again, it’s a little bit of a tweaking joke to the industry that overseas is cheaper, or overseas makes sense, or overseas is fresher,” Hoffman told The Hollywood Reporter in October 2024. “Things are happening like that all the time around productions that are either just getting going or are making a move, or whatever they can do to hold on to things and keep the costs down. So a little bit of that wink was a part of that decision.”
“I just love the two of them together. Marty and Meryl and Oliver and Loretta dancing and talking and Loretta realizing, ‘I don’t know how I do this. I don’t know how I take you away from this.’ All that felt really sweet,” he continued. “And the whole idea of an unconventional relationship, and her sensing, ‘You’re going to come to New Zealand and this could very well be the end of this beautiful marriage.’ Her knowing that about him and saying, ‘Let’s roll with this.’ It’s a beautifully sweet and heartbreaking scene. It is very adult to make a call like that.”
In a separate interview with Decider, Hoffman explained the significance of Loretta and Oliver’s romance. “I remember one night we were shooting on the ferry in episode 5 of season 3. We shot until about two in the morning on the most gorgeous night in Manhattan,” he recalled. “I got off to gangplank there and Meryl was waiting, and she had tears in her eyes, and she said, ‘I just had to wait here for you to get off the boat to say thank you.’”
He added: “I was like, ‘What?’ and she said, ‘I just got to play a scene I really thought that the likes of which I wouldn’t have a chance to do. To play romantic scenes at this age with this band in this way, it’s just the greatest thing ever.’”
Earlier this month, Streep and Short were photographed filming scenes in which their characters shared a steamy kiss on the streets of New York.
Megan Foxshared a rare comment about her and Machine Gun Kelly’s daughter while making her return to Instagram.
“38 years old six weeks pregnant (unplanned but a happy surprise),” she captioned an Instagram Story video on Wednesday, May 21. “Please stop listening to the patriarchy. Women are eternal light beings.”
She continued, “We do not have an expiration date. Don’t let them rob you of your power.”
The video Fox shared was from Hulu’s new comedy Overcompensating, in which she makes a brief cameo. Fox also urged fans to watch the show, which debuted via the streaming service earlier this month.
Fox’s return to Instagram comes after she cleared all the images from her feed, including the November 2024 post that announced her pregnancy. MGK, 35, announced in March that he and Fox had welcomed a daughter.
“She’s finally here!!” he captioned an Instagram post at the time. “Our little celestial seed.” (He later confirmed that the baby girl’s name was not “celestial seed.”

Fox and MGK met in 2020 on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass. They were engaged by 2022 but split late last year. Even though they share a child together, Fox and MGK are “absolutely not getting back together at this point in time,” a source told Us Weekly exclusively earlier this month.
Fox is, however, “grateful” that MGK has been by her side following their daughter’s birth, the insider added. The musician has been “coming and going” to help out with the newborn as he and Fox don’t live together. She is the one who “makes the rules” and MGK is “very aware of this” as they continue to coparent.
“Megan thinks MGK has stepped up and is being a good dad but doesn’t think they have a future together romantically,” the source continued. “Megan is in heaven with her baby girl and is really focused on being a mom right now.”
Their relationship is “all about the baby” at the moment but MGK has “expressed he wants to make it work” in the future.
“The baby is already wrapped around his finger,” the same source shared. “Megan has noticed his energy is different, the look in his eyes is different, his aura has changed. She feels the baby is exactly what he needed, and she is hoping it sticks.”
Neither Fox nor MGK is a stranger to parenthood. She shares sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex Brian Austin Green (who has had his own issues with the “Bloody Valentine” singer). MGK and ex Emma Cannon share 15-year-old daughter Casie.
The Another Simple Favor actress and Blake Brown founder took to Instagram on Wednesday, May 21, to gush over her husband’s support of her beauty venture. The brand recently launched a new collection of hair and body mist scents that Reynolds, 48, loves.
“He legitimately uses [the products],” she wrote via Instagram. “His favorite is the Wild Nectar. I thought he was just being the best and most supportive husband, but he genuinely loves to wear them,” she said, adding the hair and body mists smell “so yummy and sexy” on him.
Blake Brown also debuted two other mists: Bergamot Woods, with notes of fresh citrus and subtle woodiness, and Sandalwood Vanille, a crisp take on creamy vanilla with a hint of jasmine.
“His skin picks up the more woody and masculine notes, with the lighter sweetness falling in the background, creating an overall smoothness,” Lively shared of her significant other, while also noting how well the hair and body mist complements his cologne. (Per GQ, Reynolds wears Labo Patchouli 24, because “it combines masculine musky scents with lighter tones of vanilla and birch,” which explains why it pairs perfectly with Blake Brown’s Wild Nectar, which is a lightweight scent with vanilla and cedarwood.)
“It’s amazing how versatile fragrance can be and how it adapts to the wearer for any age and gender,” Lively continued. “Smelling so differently on him than me and different on us than our mom or our teenage family members.”
She prefaced this with another Instagram post on Tuesday, May 20, that waxed poetic about the transformative effects of scent whenever you need a “boost of joy and vibrance when you’re not feeling your best.”
Lively can undoubtedly relate. This is Blake Brown’s first new product launch since she became involved in an ongoing legal battle with her It Ends With Us director and co-star, Justin Baldoni.
In the meantime, Lively says she’s feeling “grateful” and “proud” to share the latest hair and body mists with her followers and “their husbands,” too. She also tagged her hubby, who was already busy hyping up Blake Brown on his own Instagram account, and then called him her “favorite fan.”
The couple met in 2010 on the set of Green Lantern and began dating in 2011. They were married in 2012 and have since welcomed four children: James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 2. According to Lively, Blake Brown is “a staple” in all of her family’s purses and backpacks.”
Blake Brown Hair & Body Mists are in stores and online at Target and blakebrownbeauty.com.
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.”
