The Dance Moms alum, 22, shared with People in an interview published Thursday, May 22, that her team “discouraged” her from signing up for the popular reality show, but she ultimately went with her gut.
“It’s funny because going into the experience, nobody on my team wanted me to do it and everyone tried to discourage me from doing it,” Siwa told the outlet.
“But for some reason, I was really set on doing it,” she continued. “Right before I went in, the last thing I told my mom is, I said, ‘Mom, I think this is going to be the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.’ And I wasn’t speaking about my career, I was speaking about my life and I think I was accurate on that.”
Siwa struck up a close friendship with former Love Island UK contestant Chris Hughes, 32, in the Celebrity Big Brother house, and in the weeks since the show ended, the costars have ignited speculation of a romance. (Siwa broke up with her girlfriend, Kath Ebbs, after appearing on Celebrity Big Brother UK.)
Photos obtained and published by The Sun on Thursday show Siwa and Hughes sharing a kiss on a pool floatie at an adults-only hotel in Mexico. Hughes appeared to hold a drink in his hand as he leaned in toward Siwa. (Us Weekly reached out to Siwa and Hughes’ reps for comment on Thursday.)

The kissing pic came 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 her 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 previously described their friendship as strictly “platonic” in an interview on the U.K.’s This Morning talk show.
Earlier this month, the “Karma” singer reiterated that she and Hughes were strictly friends in her Us Weekly digital cover interview. “We still speak all the time, obviously, naturally,” she shared. “No, 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.”
Chrissy Teigen has appeared on social media with a bandaged-up face.
In an Instagram Live uploaded via her account on Thursday, May 22, Teigen, 39, could be seen with bandages around her head and a swollen face while resting on what looked like a hospital bed.
While it’s unclear what type of procedure she may have been undergoing, fans expressed concerns in the comments during the Instagram Live.
“You okay?” one asked, while another commented, “Surgery face, oh girl.”
Teigen has previously been an open book in the past when it comes to her decision to partake in cosmetic surgery.
Speaking to Glamour UK in March 2020, the cookbook author shared details of why she opted for a breast augmentation surgery at about 20 years old to further her modeling career.
“It was more for a swimsuit thing,” the Sports Illustrated model told the outlet at the time. “I thought, if I’m going to be posing, laid on my back, I want them to be perky!”
Teigen noted that having children made her think differently about her implants. (Teigen and husband John Legend share daughter Luna, 9, son Miles, 7, daughter Esti, 2, and son Wren, 1.)
“Then you have babies and they fill up with milk and deflate and now I am screwed,” she added.

Teigen also touched on her breast augmentation during a January 2024 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen when she shared she’s had “three boob jobs.”
“I’ve had a lift, a put-in, a take-them-out. I don’t like them out,” she said.
Teigen has recently been candid about other health experiences she’s had throughout her life, most recently revealing her relationship with sobriety and alcohol.
Earlier this month, Teigen shared she had a “relapse” after cutting alcohol out of her life in 2017 and then again in 2020.
Posting via Instagram on May 15, Teigen wrote that she felt like she had let people down after letting alcohol “back into my life.”
“The truth is, I don’t know what I’m doing. I one hundred percent know I like me better sober,” she wrote in the lengthy and candid caption. “I one hundred percent know I get more done, I absolutely feel better in my body without it. And I am one hundred percent pissed that I can’t be normal and have a cocktail with my husband on vacay without it turning into 8 and feeling like sh**.”
As we age, collagen production slows down, which can make skin look dull, dry and tired. Even if you have a consistent skincare routine packed with serums and anti-aging treatments, you need a product that stimulates collagen and protects the skin barrier. Enter: the OneSkin Face Topical Supplement.
What sets the moisturizer apart is the proprietary OS-01 Senescence Peptide. As the brand explains, this is the only peptide scientifically proven to reverse skin aging at the cellular level. It also contains niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, allantoin and andiroba oil to achieve a plumper, firmer and brighter complexion.
This combination of ingredients improves skin texture, soothes irritated skin, promotes collagen production and supports epidermal regeneration for a revived, youthful complexion. Is there anything this moisturizer can’t do?
The moisturizer is simple to add to your skincare routine. For optional results, dispense one to two pumps onto your fingers and gently massage it into clean skin.
Reviewers of all ages and skin types praise OneSkin’s formula.
“I stopped using retinol, which caused me to have rough, red patches, but kept my skin supple and smooth…and now using OneSkin, I still have the wrinkle reduction effects and smooth skin without the negative effects,” one shopper said.
“I love this science-backed product,” another shared. “It truly makes a difference to my skin and has allowed me to pare down all the other lotions, potions, and products that were more reactive in nature vs this proactive approach. Not only have I saved money on my skincare routine, but I’ve witnessed even skin tone, more elasticity, and a reduction in forehead wrinkles.”
“It’s working great!!! It absorbs quickly,” a final reviewer raved. “I see and feel a significant difference in my skin’s texture and radiance. My skin looks smoother and feels firmer. I highly recommend it for anyone serious about maintaining youthful, healthy glowing skin.”
If you need to upgrade your skincare routine, make sure to snag the Face Topical Supplement. Though it’s a bit pricey, coming in at $120 (or $99 if you subscribe and save), the impressive results mean no more testing drugstore formulas to find what works. Your skin will thank you from the first use.
Even better, the brand is offering a Memorial Day weekend deal. You’ll score one free travel size item when you spend $125. Healthy, youthful-looking skin, awaits!
Zachary Levi is aware he’s ruffled some feathers by making controversial comments over the years.
In a new interview with Variety that was published on Thursday, May 22, the actor opened up about the professional fallout he’s experienced after publicly expressing his thoughts on topics such as President Trump and COVID-19 vaccines.
“I know that there are people that would prefer not to work with me now because of my opinions. My team has let me know,” Levi, 44, told the outlet.
He added: “They haven’t given me any specific names, but there are people who prefer not to work with me at this time. And it’s unfortunate. I knew that was probably going to happen. I didn’t make this decision blindly or casually.”
Last year, Levi’s former Broadway costar, Laura Benanti, expressed her dislike of the actor during an episode of “That’s a Gay Ass Podcast.”
“I never liked him,” Benanti, 45, said while appearing on the podcast in December 2024.
She recalled, “‘Everyone was like, ‘He’s so great!’ And I was like, ‘No, he’s not.’ He’s sucking up all the f***ing energy in this room.”
Benanti further claimed that Levi wanted to “mansplain everybody’s part to them” while they were members of the same cast.

The actress alleged Levi tried to get their She Loves Me castmates to have dance parties before each show, which she never enjoyed. (Benanti played Amalia Balash in the 2016 production while Levi portrayed Georg Nowach.)
“He really sucked everybody in with his, like, dance party energy. Like, ‘We’re doing a dance party at half-hour,’” Benanti remembered. “I was like, ‘Good luck. Have fun.’”
Benati also took issue with Levi’s comments about the death of their late She Loves Me costar Gavin Creel.
In September 2024, Levi made headlines when he claimed Creel’s death was caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.
“To use his memory for his political agenda and to watch him try to make himself cry until he had one single tear, which he did not wipe away, I was like, ‘F*** you forever,’” Benanti during the podcast as she referenced Levi’s comments about Creel.
Us Weekly confirmed in September 2024 that Creel died at the age of 48. The Tony Award winner’s cause of death was metastatic melanotic peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma. Creel was diagnosed with the very rare form of cancer in July, a mere two months prior to his passing.
Machine Gun Kelly has given his followers a peek at his baby daughter, eight weeks after he and ex Megan Fox welcomed her into the world.
The musician (real name Colson Baker) shared a new photo via his Instagram on Thursday, May 22.
In the photo, MGK, 35, was in ultimate dad-mode as he posed with his baby girl strapped to his chest in a baby carrier. In the selfie taken in the reflection of a car, MGK managed to keep his daughter’s face hidden while sharing a glimpse of the baby with his fans.
“Stop what you’re doing. These pictures are v important,” the “Lonely Road” singer captioned the post.
The post comes one day after Fox, 39, posted about their daughter via her own Instagram account, revealing it was an “unplanned” pregnancy.
“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.”

MGK shared the news in March that he and Fox had welcomed their daughter, announcing via Instagram, “She’s finally here!!”
In the caption of the Instagram post, he referred to their daughter as “Our little celestial seed.” Following confusion from fans MGK was later forced to clarify that they did not name their daughter “celestial seed.”
Fox announced her pregnancy in November 2024 after opening up about suffering a past miscarriage. “Nothing is ever really lost,” she captioned an Instagram post at the time. “Welcome back .”
In the first photo, a naked Fox cradled her baby bump while covered in what appeared to be black paint, tagging MGK on her belly. A second picture featured her positive pregnancy test.
The Transformers star and MGK met in 2020 on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass and their relationship had its ups and downs over the years. The former couple became engaged by 2022 but called it quits in late 2024.
Despite sharing 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 also shares sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex Brian Austin Green. For his part, MGK and ex Emma Cannon share 15-year-old daughter Casie.

Farmer Wants a Wife’s third season has come to a close — and at least one couple is still going strong.
Warning: Spoilers below for the season 3 finale of Farmer Wants a Wife.
During the season 3 finale of the hit Fox series, which aired Thursday, May 22, all four farmers were asked to make a choice between their final two women. While drama sprouted from certain decisions, it was smooth sailing for John Sansone, who ultimately chose Claire Dirette over Lily Ayres.
“Claire and Lily and I, leading up to [the final decision], had been knowing what this [show] was and knowing what we were all in for,” John, 25, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the finale. “I was trying to keep the camaraderie as strong as possible throughout it. I would’ve been shocked if Lily or Claire in a different situation had just blown up on me.”
John and Claire walked into the sunset unscathed, but the couple confessed that their initial meeting was far from spectacular. Their attraction, it turns out, came as a surprise to both of them as the season progressed.
“I didn’t have a first impression of Claire personally at all,” John confessed. “Afterwards we have these things called OTFs, which [are] on-the-fly interviews about each and every date. And after the speed dates in Alabama, I remember saying to the camera something like, ‘Yeah, Claire was a great girl. She seemed very sweet and nice and soft-spoken, but the date was just kind of dull.’”
Claire, for her part, recalled being “extremely nervous and anxious” about being on the show, which affected how she presented herself.
“I don’t remember our first conversation by any means. So I had no first impression of John at all,” she told Us, noting that she was on “autopilot” at the start of the season.

While John said he “immediately” noticed how well Claire got along with the other women — something that made him want to “keep her around” — it wasn’t until the pair got more comfortable together that things took a romantic turn.
He told Us, “Toward the end [of the season everybody started to loosen up more and get more casual and just started basically being themselves and not worrying about all the cameras and all that nonsense, so that’s when I think I really started to like Claire and really started to get along with her into a level that would stem to a relationship.”
Claire echoed John’s sentiment, admitting there were times she thought she might need to “leave” — “I can’t be here, this is too hard,” she recalled thinking — before bonding with John and the other women changed her mind.
“It did kind of quickly change as soon as I got close with the girls. And then John made it easy on me too,” she continued, pointing to the show’s Nashville mixer, which all four of the farmers and their contestants attended, as a big turning point.
“I had to pull him for a conversation and I was super anxious, like, I couldn’t really get a word out, and he just made it really lighthearted and joked around,” she recalled. “I think that really helped me just loosen and open up and be more myself.”
After John picked Claire for a solo date toward the end of the season, the twosome realized they had different values. Being opposites, however, only brought them closer together as John appreciated learning from someone with an alternate point of view.

“I think that’s a very beneficial thing to have in any relationship,” John said. “Personally, I’m not a big fan of echo chambers. I can’t stand them. I gotta get away from them. So, I think it’s pretty interesting and fun to go through this with somebody who has a different outlook on certain things in life.”
Some differences, of course, were slightly bigger obstacles than others. John’s desire to marry someone who stays home with the kids didn’t fully line up with Claire’s life plans, but it wasn’t something she worried too much about.
“I guess I wasn’t super surprised that he felt that way,” she told Us. “And I mean, I don’t think it was anything I was immediately, adamantly against. I’m happy to learn from him and I think he learns from me. And that’s one really strong point we have is our ability to communicate. So any difference or problem that we’ve had, we’ve been able to talk through. And I think that I would be surprised if there was something that we couldn’t figure out and talk through in the future.”
Claire’s mom, on the other hand, was more taken aback by John’s traditional outlook, asking him during the finale what he felt women “are for.” Thankfully, the duo were able to have a respectful exchange — but that didn’t mean John wasn’t anxious going into it.
“I was insanely nervous. Her mom is a decorated college professor who does public speaking events and a very strong woman and very set in her ways,” he explained. “It was pretty interesting and nerve-racking to talk to her. But I think it was very cool that we were able to just talk through stuff and just learn each other’s outlooks and perspectives and have a friendly conversation and just talk about our differences. I think that was really neat and something that a lot of people should take a note from that old notebook.”
So, where do John and Claire stand now? Us is pleased to report the two are still happily together and currently spending some time in Chicago — “I’m extremely uncomfortable and I wanna leave, I want my mom to pick me up,” John joked of the location change — and are focused on taking it “day by day.”
That means while they are loving spending time together, a permanent move for Claire to the farm isn’t in the cards quite yet.
“[We’re] not putting any pressure on ourselves. I think that’s why we have such a strong relationship,” John revealed. “We’re not trying to force anything or put all these dates or timelines or plans on us, because that’s just gonna build a lot of unnecessary pressure for us right now. We’re still in the very early stages of the relationship.
We’re both very young. We’re just gonna keep riding this out and see how it goes.”
As for those “differing” values, John said they’ve had “those conversations” and they always “go over very well,” but it’s nothing they’re stressing out over right now.
“That’s just one of those things that’s, like, way too big of unnecessary pressure walking in,” he said, while Claire added, “I think every time we’ve had a difficult conversation or something more serious, we’ve been better afterwards.”
With the show behind them, John and Claire are looking toward the future and taking what they’ve learned with them.
“I’m so glad I did that because it was kind of, like, free therapy all the time when you’re sitting and talking to the camera and the producer is asking you questions. Even doing that you learn a lot about yourself,” Claire said. “So I was really grateful for the entire experience.”
John also has no regrets and said putting himself in “uncomfortable situations” is the “absolute best way to grow.”
“The coolest thing that I learned is just how easy it is to actually just talk to people with different views and values,” he told Us. “Not only Claire, but people in production, other people on different farms and all that stuff. As long as you just go into it with a good attitude and recognizing that that’s just another human being on the other side of the conversation, then you know you’re gonna go far in life.”
Farmer Wants a Wife is available to stream on Hulu.
“I think we should address what people have been saying about us,” Reynolds, 48, kicked off the FX show’s latest episode, which premiered on Thursday, May 22. “You know, the Disney thing.”
McElhenney, 48, explained that “people in the U.K. and all over the world” have started referring to their Wrexham soccer team as “Disney FC,” referring to Welcome to Wrexham being on FX (which is owned by Disney). Not to mention, McElhenney’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia airs on the same network and Reynolds’ Deadpool franchise falls under the Disney umbrella.
“We get it, there’s similarities. We like parades, we like fans, we like costumed characters, merch, I could go on,” Reynolds said. McElhenney added, “I’m going to be dead honest with all of you, I wanted with all of my heart to hate Disneyland.”
McElhenney admitted to being “transported like a child to the happiest place on Earth,” and goes every year for his birthday. He also had some choice words for those Disney FC critics.
“We invite you all to come experience that magic with us through the tale of Disney FC,” he said. “The rest of you jaded pricks can go f*** your f***ing selves.”
Wrexham falls into another major Disney category: happily ever after.
For those not keeping up, McElhenney and Reynolds bought a losing Wrexham AFC in 2020 with the hopes of turning it into a Premier League team. Over the past four seasons, the actors have created a winning squad that made history earlier this year after being promoted to a higher league for the third year in a row. This is, basically, unheard of.
Despite the highs and lows, the wins and losses, Wrexham is always coming out on top. A happily ever after indeed.
As the rest of this week’s Welcome to Wrexham continued, McElhenney and Reynolds took the Disney FC bit about as far as they could. The episode did, indeed, come to an end with CGI fireworks over the Wrexham stadium and Tinker Bell waving her magic wand.
New episodes of Welcome to Wrexham premiere on FX Thursdays at 9 p.m. and are streaming via Hulu the following day.
Fellowes died in July 2024 at age 82 from “undisclosed causes”, leaving behind a £1.5 million (USD$2 million) fortune. According to a Hello! article published on Wednesday, May 21, court documents showed that most of the assets left behind was left to his widow, Baroness Fellowes.
According to the outlet, the will stated that Baroness Fellowes would receive her late husband’s possessions and income from his estate. There was also an inclusion that requested the estate support the wider family, which includes the couple’s son Alexander, 42, and two daughters, Laura, 44, and Eleanor, 38. Friends and local charities were also beneficiaries and received small cash gifts or donations.
Per the outlet, Prince Harry, 40, and Prince William, 42, both did not receive anything from their late uncle in the will, which was made in June 2012.
Us Weekly has reached out to Harry and William for comment.
Fellowes was their mother Princess Diana’s brother and the late Queen Elizabeth II’s private secretary from 1990 to 1999.
Harry and William both attended their uncle’s funeral in August last year, but according to reports, the two kept their distance from each other amid their ongoing feud.
According to The Sun in August 2024, a family friend said they were “very happy to confirm both princes were there,” but that the brothers did not sit near each other.
A separate source told The Sun that “William and Harry were both there but we never saw them speak to each other and they were keeping their distance.”

The brothers have been in a state of discord reportedly since 2016, which escalated when Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, announced their exit from royal duties in 2020.
Following their departure from the royal family, Harry and Meghan poured fuel on the fire by publicly airing their grievances against family members in a bombshell tell-all interview on CBS in 2021.
Harry elaborated further on his family issues when he released his memoir, Spare, in 2023.
As well as having issues with brother William, Harry confirmed that his father, Prince Charles, 76, “won’t speak to him” amid the drama.
“There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,” Harry told the BBC earlier this month. “But I’ve forgiven them.”
During the interview, Harry commented on his father’s mortality and expressed a desire to make up. (Charles was diagnosed with cancer in February 2024.)
“I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore,” Harry said. “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
On the Thursday, May 22, episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Dr. Drew Pinsky had a virtual meeting with the couple to recall a private conversation he had with Carly’s adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis.
“I can tell you what was expressed to me about Carly,” he shared on the MTV reality show’s season finale. “Brandon said she is thriving and she has friends and she’s athletic and musical and she’s doing all these wonderful things.”
Catelynn tried to hold back tears as she wondered why Dr. Drew was sharing the update and not Carly’s adoptive parents.
In 2009, Tyler and Catelynn — who also share Nova, 10, Vaeda, 6, and Rya, 3, — placed their newborn daughter Carly, now 16, for adoption. What started as an open adoption changed over time with Brandon and Teresa limiting in-person visits between Carly and her birth parents.
“In terms of being unblocked and a visit, I don’t see that not happening, frankly,” Dr. Drew shared. “You got to go through the baby steps. But you are encouraged to send gifts on Christmas, birthdays and when gifts are completely appropriate.”
While Tyler expressed his belief that it’s “weird” to be getting this information from someone other than Brandon and Teresa, Dr. Drew explained that no situation is perfect.
“What Teresa kept saying is she absolutely wants what you want and wants to maintain a relationship, but she feels like she needs a reset and for everybody to calm down and let all the negativity [settle],” he said. “[Carly] sings in church. She’s quite an accomplished singer and they recorded a song of hers. I would love to listen with you because it’s so moving. It does feel like Carly is sending a message of, ‘I’m good.’ Do you guys want to hear it?”

Citing her mental health, Catelynn said she wanted to listen in private. According to MTV, when she asked for the link to hear the performance, Brandon and Teresa denied the request.
Us Weekly has reached out to Brandon and Teresa for comment.
In a joint statement on social media, both Carly and Tyler promised to not speak about Carly, Brandon and Teresa publicly moving forward.
“Birthparents are always at the mercy of the adopters (which is understandable since we’re the ones who relinquished our baby to them) but that still doesn’t make it any less hard or painful,” Tyler and Catelynn wrote via Instagram on Thursday. “As I’ve stated before, we won’t be mentioning our biological daughter or her parents anymore & that’s why we’re actually relieved that this episode is airing, so that way we can all just finally move forward.”
In addition, both Catelynn and Tyler apologized if past comments on Teen Mom or other platforms had a negative impact.
“We are incredibly sorry if anything we have said about our truth as birthparents has hurt you or Carly or negatively impacted your life. That was never our intention,” the pair said in a letter to Brandon and Teresa. “We’re the adults here & it’s our job to put everything aside for the best interest of Carly. Which requires open, honest & transparent communication. So we hope moving forward, you will participate in that requirement.”
Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs on MTV Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
Cheyenne Floyd and Zach Davis are ready to expand their family one final time.
On the Thursday, May 22, episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, the couple confirmed they are expecting their second child together later this year.
“I think we were in shock,” Cheyenne exclusively told Us Weekly when recalling the scene when she found out she was pregnant. “It wasn’t expected, like, at all. God’s plan is always bigger than ours.”
As seen on the season finale, Cheyenne was preparing to start fertility treatments in less than a week. Everything changed, however, when a Clear Blue pregnancy test confirmed she was pregnant.
It’s exciting news for a couple who have bravely documented their journey in expanding their family on reality TV.
“This has been quite the journey for me and Chey,” Zach told Us. “We definitely kind of teetered back and forth on wanting a baby. I wanted one, and then she went through the phase of wanting one, and I wasn’t on the same page as her, but then we kind of came to the same chapter, and we tried to make it work.”
Along the way, the couple experienced infertility issues with Zach learning his sperm wasn’t “swimming.” As for Cheyenne, she discovered she has PCOS, a common hormonal disorder in women.

With help from therapy, their faith and the support of family and friends, the MTV reality stars never gave up hope.
“It’s God’s timing,” Zach explained. “God gave us a child right before we’re going to start. And I’m hella happy. I’m excited. I just want 10 fingers, 10 toes, and I’m happy.”
While Cheyenne admitted that she’s “constantly nauseous” and tired, she’s grateful she doesn’t have to hide the news anymore.
“On Snapchat is the hardest because I share so much on Snap,” Cheyenne joked. “People on Snap are like, ‘Why do you have a blanket on and it’s hot outside?’ or ‘Why do you have on a hoodie and it’s hot?’ I’m very happy that we’re sharing. … It’s like, I can’t hide it anymore.”
Throughout the season, both Cheyenne and Zach have been overwhelmed with supportive messages from people who have found themselves in similar situations.
After pushing through highs and lows, the couple hopes their story is a reminder to viewers to proceed with caution when asking others about their fertility journeys.
“Always give that person grace and allow them to share what they want to share before you’re asking a million questions and you’re prying,” Cheyenne said. “I just think that you have to be very mindful when you’re talking about fertility, and watch the trigger warnings. You just don’t know what can trigger a woman or a man when having these conversations.”
Now that another season of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter has wrapped, both Cheyenne and Zach are looking forward to making special family memories all summer long. (Cheyenne shares Ryder, 8, with ex Cory Wharton and Ace, 4, with Zac.)
They are also hoping to continue sharing their family’s reality for many more seasons to come.
“We’ve been so blessed to be able to share our story with the Teen Mom family now for eight years, and it’s a huge blessing,” Cheyenne explained. “The fact that we’ve built such a strong family, which is like an internet family, I want to keep sharing with the internet aunties and uncles, and I just hope that people continue to watch our journey and watch our family grow.”
Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs on MTV Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
Cattrall and Parker costarred on Sex and the City from 1998 to 2004 and later reprised their roles for two movie sequels in 2008 and 2010. During negotiations for a third SATC movie in 2010, Parker claimed Cattrall made requests from the studio that didn’t come through, so the cast decided not to move forward without her. That is when Parker and Cattrall’s rift allegedly began.
In 2017, Cattrall claimed during an interview with Piers Morgan that the two have “never been friends.” Cattrall alleged that Parker “could have been nicer,” during their time on set, claiming, “I don’t know what her problem is.”
The following year, Cattrall slammed Parker after the actress offered condolences to Cattrall after her brother died. “Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend,” Cattrall fired back via social media in 2018. “So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.”
In response, Parker told Extra in October 2018, “She has felt perfectly comfortable to say lots of things. That’s the beauty of living in a democracy, but I have no apologies, meaning, this isn’t a catfight. This is someone who chose to talk about something, and myself, I remain grateful for her work and the role she played on and off camera for all the years we spent together.”
When Parker revived her SATC character, Carrie Bradshaw, for HBO Max’s And Just Like That sequel series in 2021, Cattrall did not sign on. She did, however, make a cameo during a 2023 episode.
Franco and Rogen met while starring on the 1999 series Freaks and Geeks. They went on to work together on several movies, including Pineapple Express, This Is the End, The Disaster Artist and The Interview.
Their decades-long friendship hit a snag in 2018 when Franco was accused of sexual misconduct by five women, four of whom were his acting students. Franco, who later confessed to sleeping with different students while teaching college courses, settled a sexual misconduct lawsuit with two of the former students in 2021.
After the legal drama simmered down, Rogen told The Sunday Times in 2021, “The truth is that I have not and I do not plan to [work with Franco] right now.” That December, Franco confirmed that their personal and professional relationship had stalled.
In October 2024, Franco gave an update on their dynamic, telling Variety, “I haven’t talked to Seth. I love Seth, we had 20 great years together, but I guess it’s over. And not for lack of trying. I’ve told him how much he’s meant to me.”
Jenner and Woods were inseparable for years until news broke in February 2019 that Woods was spotted getting cozy with Tristan Thompson. It was later revealed that Woods kissed the NBA player. At the time, Thompson was dating Jenner’s sister Khloé Kardashian and they already shared one child. (Thompson now shares daughter True and son Tatum with Kardashian.)
Kardashian took Thompson back after the scandal, but they called it quits for good in June 2021. Jenner, meanwhile, chose to take a break from Woods following the incident.
“She was very conflicted initially, but after observing all the chaos across the board, she knew she had no choice to step away from the friendship,” a source exclusively told Us in February 2020 of Jenner’s decision.
After three years apart, Jenner reached out to Woods in July 2023 to reconnect. The following year, Jenner revealed during an episode of The Kardashians that she had “a lot more healthy distance in the relationship” with Woods, noting that they talk “once a month.”
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costars' friendship took a turn for the worst after getting into an argument over the PuppyGate scandal in 2018. After the fight, Vanderpump stopped talking to Richards and exited the Bravo series one year later.
In May 2022, the Halloween Kills star got candid about how much she "missed" her former friend while appearing on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “On a scale from one to 10 … two to three,” Richards quipped.
Rumors of an alleged feud between the two actresses began in November 2022 after Gomez said that Taylor Swift was her only friend in the industry.
Raisa — who donated her kidney to the Only Murderers in the Building star in 2017 amid her battle with lupus — expressed her disappointment in being left out and commented "Interesting" on a post that included Gomez's quote and unfollowed her.
Gomez clapped back on a TikTok explaining the drama and said, “Sorry I didn’t mention every person I know."
In July 2023, the pair appeared to be back on track after Gomez wished Raisa a happy birthday via Instagram, calling her a “special human being.” Gomez added, “No matter where life takes us, I love you. ❤️ @franciaraisa."
Three months later, Raisa poked fun at her alleged feud with Gomez by creating sweatshirts that read, “No Beef, Just Salsa.” She later posted a photo with Gomez wearing the cheeky merchandise together.
The Bachelor Nation alums had a falling out after Bristowe took on a role as a mentor following Harrison's exit from the franchise in 2021.
“They offered me the position to come in, and what the Bachelor franchise said [I was there to do] was to mentor Katie,” the former Bachelorette explained during a January 2023 episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast. “[They said] I wouldn’t be replacing Chris. Then all these articles started coming out, saying, ‘Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe replacing Chris Harrison.’”
Bristowe said she reached out to the former host about the situation and never heard back. Harrison, for his part, explained his silence on a February 2023 episode of the “Most Dramatic Podcast Ever" with the Dancing With the Stars alum.
“I was the mentor — somewhat of a father figure — where I listened. And I asked questions, and I was all about you and your life, because that was my job and I care. And I took a lot of pride in that and that’s how our relationship started,” he said. “This time, I needed that flip of just the, ‘Hey, how are you? Are you OK?’ Not, ‘Are you OK with me taking the show and you’re irreplaceable.’ And I appreciated those words, but it was just at that time, I didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with all of that.”
The former producing partners, who had been friends since the ‘90s, called it quits on their professional and personal relationship in 2019.
In an interview with Vanity Fair two years later, McKay explained that he thought a casting decision is what hurt their friendship. He cast John C. Reilly in a series about the Lakers over Ferrell — and didn’t let the Stranger Than Fiction star know.
“I f***ed up on how I handled that,” McKay explained in 2021. "[Ferrell] took it as a way deeper hurt than I ever imagined and I tried to reach out to him, and I reminded him of some slights that were thrown my way that were never apologized for.”
He continued, “The whole time it was like I was saying it out loud, ‘Let’s not become an episode of Behind the Music. Don’t let it happen.’ And it happened.”
The heiress and the Freaky Friday star were inseparable until 2006, when Lohan started dating Hilton’s ex, Stavros Niarchos. The frenemies spent years taking shots at each other until June 2017 when it seemed as if the two had made amends.
However, later that year, Hilton threw a bit of shade Lohan’s way, accusing the Parent Trap actress of crashing her infamous 2006 night out with Britney Spears. She did it again in May 2019 after Andy Cohen asked her to list three nice things about Lohan on his talk show Watch What Happens Live. “She’s beyond, lame and embarrassing,” Hilton replied.
Soon after, Lohan fired back at the time through her spokesperson, who told Us Weekly, “Obviously, Paris needs to feel relevant and is desperate for attention.”
The two appeared to be on the road to reconciliation in December 2021, when Hilton congratulated Lohan on her then-recent engagement to Bader Shammas via her podcast.
In January 2022, Hilton confirmed that they were back in good graces. “I just feel that we’re grown-ups now,” Hilton said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. “I’m married [to Carter Reum], she just got engaged. We’re not, like, in high school. I think it was very immature and now everything is all good.”
Holm slammed his ex-friend in September 2017 after it was announced that the race car driver would be the season 22 Bachelor. "Oh, the stories I could tell …" he tweeted. "I stopped being friends with him years ago because he's disgusting."
The two appeared together on Emily Maynard's season of The Bachelorette in 2012. Maynard picked Holm, while Luyendyk Jr. was the runner-up. However, Maynard and Holm called it quits later that year.
Thiessen told Howard Stern in 2012 that when she first joined the cast of Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1994, “the girls were not very nice to me.” However, after Garth “actually apologized” for her behavior towards her, “Jennie and I became very good friends,” the White Collar actress revealed.
However, it wasn’t meant to last. Thiessen didn’t go into detail as to what led to their breakup, but she told Stern, “I was the one who was hurt, let’s just say that. I was the one who was hurt.”
What caused the former BFFs to split? "Ken is sick of her cycle of dumping friends when she's with a guy," a source told Us in 2010 of Simpson. "She doesn't care about the world, only herself. All she talks about is men, love, and sex."
Though they've been friends since 1999, a source close to both stars claimed the women had a major falling out in June 2010. "They don't speak," the insider told Us. "I can't tell you exactly why they had the falling out, but Gwyneth can be jealous and competitive."
In April of that same year, the Goop founder hinted that she and the “Material Girl” singer weren’t as close as they once were. When talking to British Vogue about Madonna’s former trainer Tracy Anderson, Paltrow sniped, "Yeah, it's good that [Tracy] doesn't train Madonna anymore. It was too much. She keeps people waiting — it takes up your whole day.”
After being shut out of Charlotte Ronson's private Hollywood party at Chateau Marmont in 2009, Richie reportedly dissed Lohan by ignoring the actress as she walked by her. "Everyone's turned on me," Lohan later told Us.
Five years later, the Simple Life alum opened up about her brief friendship with the Mean Girls star on a 2014 episode of Watch What Happens Live, saying, “[I] haven’t spoken to her in a while,” choosing not to elaborate any further.
After Pratt's violent outbursts got him kicked off The Hills, Jenner opened up about his rift with his former castmate. "Lately, it's hard for me — even as someone who used to be best friends with him — to see what's real and what's not as far as he goes," Jenner explained.
Nine years later, the two came to blows during a 2019 episode of The Hills: New Beginnings.
Gosselin became fast friends with Lindsay Lohan's estranged dad in the Hamptons in July 2009. But their friendship was doomed after Michael began dating Gosselin's ex, reporter Kate Major, later that year. (The couple divorced in 2018 after four years of marriage.)
One year later, Michael accused the Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum of cheating him out of money.
"Jon knows what the deal was. I kept him out of harm's way... and he stabbed me in the back," the amateur boxer told Access in 2010. "When you open your door to somebody and you give them a safe haven and a place to go and then they turn around and bite the hand that feeds or stab you in the back, that doesn't sit well with me."
Though Goreski claims his professional split with Zoe was amicable, a source close to the styling duo says otherwise. "Brad has gotten a little big in the head and Rachel is not happy," a source told Us. As for Zoe? "She's so focused on everything else that he was doing all of the work."
During a July 2021 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Zoe admitted, “I don’t see him,” later adding, “People should be professional. They should.”
The once inseparable BFFs reportedly grew apart when Gomez befriended Swift. When Lovato was asked in January 2010 if they were still close to their Princess Protection Program costar, they shot back coldly: "Ask Taylor."
A decade later, the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer told Harper’s Bazaar that they no longer keep in touch with the Only Murders in the Building actress.
"When you grow up with somebody, you're always going to have love for them. But I'm not friends with her,” Lovato said in April 2020. "I will always have love for her, and I wish everybody nothing but the best."
"All my cast members hate me," Spelling told Ryan Seacrest of her former Beverly Hills, 90210 pals. The problem? Spelling believes the actors — especially Thiessen — disapprove of how she met her husband, Dean McDermott. "She doesn't talk to me anymore," Spelling said.
While a source told Us Weekly in 2016 that the two had ended their 10-year feud, Spelling’s appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race one year later reignited the rumors that the two weren’t on the best of terms.
After a performer paid homage to Thiessen’s 90210 character, Valerie Malone, her former costar Jennie Garth refused to say the Saved by the Bell alum’s name. Spelling then chimed in, "Just say, 'That which we don't speak of.'
Mascara-tears galore! Conrad and Montag's friendship fell apart as the cameras rolled on the set of their smash reality series The Hills. The former roommates and BFFs memorably feuded over Montag's boyfriend-turned-husband Spencer Pratt, along with the infamous accusation from Conrad, that the couple had leaked a sex tape.
In August 2021, Montag accused her former costar of treating her like a “dog,” but also said she feels “so much love” for the designer.
“It didn’t have to go that way,” she said during an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast of their long-running feud. “She chose and wanted it to go that way, and then kept following up with that, and then kept blaming things on me and blaming her [rumored] sex tape on me.”
When Paltrow and Ryder dated Ben Affleck and Matt Damon respectively, the actresses were inseparable in the '90s — until Paltrow reportedly stumbled upon the script for Shakespeare in Love at Ryder's home. Adding salt to the wound, Paltrow won an Oscar for the role she allegedly stole from her BFF.
Influencer Kindra Hall had a frightening encounter when out and about in New York City.
“On Wednesday, May 14th, around 10:30am I was punched in the head by a passing stranger,” the author, 44, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, May 22. “I wasn’t going to post this as a reel … but there are a few pieces of the story I hadn’t shared and I think they are important for my UES community and fellow NYers to know.”
In the post, Hall included a clip of surveillance footage from the event which showed her getting punched and knocked down on the ground while on a walk.
“FIRST. I wasn’t on my phone when it happened. I wasn’t distracted,” she continued. “It wasn’t an unsafe hour. I even made note of the guy when I saw him, but it wasn’t until I saw a strange flick in his hand (you can see in the footage) that I realized something wasn’t right.”
Hall grabbed her phone and recorded the stranger who then threatened to “slit” her throat, according to the footage. The stranger also shared a location where Hall could find him. The motivational speaker then called the police and wanted to file a report. Hall claimed to have issues with the authorities.
“SECOND. The police took [approx] 30 min to arrive and once they did, even after showing the video with the guy shouting threats, acted like it wasn’t a big deal,” she alleged. “I remember saying, ‘So since I’m not bleeding, a punch to the head is ok?!’”
She continued: “THIRD. When I refused to back down and only after I told them I had a headache … They agreed to go to the address the man shouted in the video and MADE ME GO WITH THEM, despite having video footage clearly identifying him.”
Hall added that making her confront her assaulter was a “terrifying” experience. She also claimed that the police did not assist in getting the security footage, that was something she and her husband, Michael, accomplished.
“The cops walked into the nail salon when I pointed out the camera, but said only the owner had access to the footage,” she said. “Michael, my husband, went back later and the salon happily put him in touch with the owner who immediately found the footage and sent it to him. It took five minutes.”
While the incident was scary for Hall, she expressed how “grateful” she was that it wasn’t “worse.” Hall sustained “some swelling at the point of impact” near her jaw and ear. She also had ”a headache.”
“I’m grateful it was me and not someone who couldn’t take the hit or the fall. I’m hopeful the man gets the help and services he clearly needs. And I’m heartbroken and furious that this is how it is — so much apathy,” she wrote. “Stay safe and stay aware. And if it happens to you, don’t let anyone convince you to let it go. The problem is SO big and SO layered but pretending nothing can be done is not the solution. I NYC.”
“It’s a really intense situation,” Dier, 35, told Fan Mail in an interview published on Thursday, May 22, confessing, “I probably shouldn’t say much, but I’ll say this: I always loved Justin.”
Dier shared that Baldoni, 41, has “always been an amazing friend to me.” He noted, “I’m just hoping everything resolves in time.”
Baldoni and Dier have been friends since they costarred on The CW’s Jane the Virgin from 2014 to 2019. Dier played Gina Rodriguez’s first husband, Michael Cordero, while Baldoni played her character Jane Villanueva’s other romantic love interest, Rafael Solano.
Dier confirmed on Thursday that even though the show ended six years ago, he stays connected with a “good amount” of his former castmates from the series, which he recalled being a “wild ride.”
Although Dier didn’t identify Baldoni — or anyone specific from the cast — as someone he is close with, he previously supported the actor when his movie It Ends With Us hit theaters.
Dier and Yael Grobglas, who played Baldoni’s first wife on Jane the Virgin, went to the theaters together in August 2024 to see the film. “Our genius friend @justinbaldoni made a phenomenal film,” Grobglas, 40, wrote via Instagram at the time. “I cried an embarrassing amount and tried to hide it but probably failed.”
She shared a photo with Dier inside the theater after the showing, adding, “I am so proud of you, and I love you friend !!!!”
While Baldoni — who was the director and one of the movie’s stars — received praise from his former castmates, the project has since been a source of contention. Baldoni has been embroiled in a messy legal battle with his It Ends With Us costar Lively, 37, since December 2024 when she filed a sexual harassment complaint against him.
Baldoni has denied all accusations made against him in Lively’s lawsuit, which included accusations of him creating a hostile work environment and causing her “severe emotional distress” while making the film.
Baldoni later filed his own $400 million lawsuit against the Gossip Girl actress, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Lively’s publicist Leslie Sloane. He accused the trio of trying to “destroy” him, his team and their respective companies by “disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media.”
Lively and Reynolds, 48, have denied the allegations and filed to dismiss the motion completely.
“The entirety of Mr. Baldoni’s case appears to be based on Mr. Reynolds allegedly privately calling Mr. Baldoni a ‘predator,’ but here is the problem, that is not defamation unless they can show that Mr. Reynolds did not believe that statement to be true,” Reynolds’ attorneys Mike Gottlieb and Esra Hudson said in a statement shared with Us Weekly in March. “The complaint doesn’t allege that, and just the opposite, the allegations in the complaint suggest that Mr. Reynolds genuinely believes Mr. Baldoni is a predator.”
The statement continued, “Mr. Reynolds’ wife has accused Mr. Baldoni — privately and in multiple complaints — of sexual harassment and retaliation, and as pointed out by Mr. Reynolds’ motion, Mr. Baldoni has also openly spoken about his past of mistreating women and pushing the boundaries of consent. Mr. Reynolds has a First Amendment right to express his opinion of Mr. Baldoni, which should be comforting to a group of people who have repeatedly called Ms. Lively and Mr. Reynolds ‘bullies’ and other names over the past year.”
Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman told Us in a statement at the time that Reynolds was allegedly actively involved in the situation “far beyond just being a ‘supportive spouse.’”
Freedman claimed, “Mr. Reynolds was a key player in the scheme, defaming Justin around Hollywood, strong-arming WME into dropping Justin as a client, and trying to destroy Justin’s career however possible. His fingerprints have been all over this smear campaign against Justin and the Wayfarer team since day one.”
Lively and Baldoni’s trial is scheduled for March 9, 2026.
For former Bachelor Grant Ellis, navigating online comments about his relationship with fiancé Juliana Pasquarosa can be “tough.”
“Whatever people have to say, they’re always going to talk. So just lead with love,” Grant, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Wednesday, May 21, Bringing the Beach to Beverly Hills to Rebuild Malibu event. “That’s what me and Jules do really well. So whatever people say, they don’t really know like that.”
Grant gushed that he’s been enjoying “really settling in” the relationship with Juliana, who he got engaged to in the season 29 finale of The Bachelor. The pair are eyeing a destination wedding in Italy, where Juliana has family roots.
“We were in DR on my season, so we’re going to do something for Jules and be in Italy,” he said, noting that their special day will include “really close” friends and family. “We’ve been through a lot with the show and the public opinion, so I think the people that know us and love us, we’re going to have a nice close wedding. It’s definitely going to be extravagant, but it’s going to be just family and friends, people that know us and love us.”
While Grant popped the question, the pair have plans to redo the proposal closer to their wedding day. As for when that wedding could actually be, Grant did not have an answer for Us.
“We’ve been taking our relationship just day by day, honestly. She is a person that has a lot of support with family and friends. She’s spending a lot of time with them and with me,” he explained. “We’re just now getting into taking things slow, moving together now.”
As he gears up for wedding planning with Juliana, Grant showed up to support the Los Angeles community and pal JD Slajchert — who he also noted as someone who leads with love — at the Bringing the Beach to Beverly Hills to Rebuild Malibu event.
“I think showing support for LA and showing support for the community is big, and to have somebody spearhead an event like this and kind of show me what LA is about,” he noted. “I’m from Houston. So it is been really important to do that and to give back. And that’s what this is all about and that’s what JD is all about. So it’s a really big thing for me.”
Grant explained that the couple have plans to team up with JD to raise awareness about addiction, which is something near and dear to their heart.
“We’ve both been through that and with JD’s help and his philanthropy, we’re going to do a lot,” he said. “So this is the first of many endeavors that we’re going to go on. Look forward to it.”

Professional boxer Georgia O’Connorhas died at age 25, just months after doctors diagnosed her with cancer and two weeks after she married her longtime boyfriend.
Pro boxing promoter Boxxer confirmed her death in a statement to The Guardian on Thursday, May 22.
“We are heartbroken by the passing of Georgia O’Connor,” the statement read. “A true warrior inside and outside the ring, the boxing community has lost a talented, courageous and determined young woman far too soon.”
“Georgia was loved, respected and admired by her friends here at Boxxer,” the statement continued. “Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this difficult time.”
O’Connor announced via Instagram on May 12 that she and boyfriend Adriano Cardinali had gotten married, writing, “09.05.2025.The day I married the love of my life. .” She wrote the caption alongside a photo of the couples’ hands with rings fully in view.
In January, O’Connor revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer after she claims doctors ignored her symptoms, including debilitating pain, for months.
“For 17 weeks since the start of October, I’ve been in constant pain, going back and forth between Durham and Newcastle RVI A&E knowing deep down something was seriously wrong,” O’Connor wrote via Instagram on January 31. “I said from the start I felt it was cancer. I KNEW the risks. I have colitis and PSC, two diseases that dramatically increase the chances of getting it. I KNOW how high my risk is and they do too. They always did.”
She continued, “But not one doctor f***ing listened to me. Not one doctor took me seriously. Not one doctor did the scans or blood tests I begged for whilst crying on the floor in agony. Instead, they dismissed me. They gaslit me, told me it was nothing, made me feel like I was overreacting. They refused to scan me. They refused to investigate. They REFUSED to listen. One even told me that it’s ‘all in my head.’ And now? Now the cancer has spread.”
One month after revealing her diagnosis, she confirmed via Instagram that her cancer was “incurable.” She also told her followers in February that she had suffered a miscarriage.
O’Connor was undefeated in her boxing career since turning pro in 2021. As an amateur, she was a gold medalist at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games, won the silver at the same year’s Youth World Championships and took home bronze the next year.
“My heart goes out to Georgia’s parents and partner, who I know did everything they could tirelessly and are going through so much right now,” Boxxer CEO Ben Shalom wrote via X.
O’Connor had not fought professionally since 2022, revealing in February 2023 that she was suffering from ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease that results in ulcers in the colon.
A source exclusively told Us Weekly that David, 50, and Victoria, 51, “feel betrayed” about the current state of things, which came to a head when Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, skipped David’s 50th birthday party in London earlier this month.
At the crux of the estrangement is “very deep tension rooted in control and different plans for Brooklyn’s future.”
“Nicola comes from a powerful family,” the source explained. “David and Victoria are used to being in control [of situations like this] and there has been a shift.”
The actress’ father, Nelson Peltz, is a billionaire American businessman who cofounded Trian Partners, a hedge fund management firm. Nicola’s mother, Claudia Heffner, is a former fashion model. The couple got married in 1985 and have 8 children.
“Friends and people around them see a long road to mending this,” the source explained. “But there is a desire to mend on David and Victoria’s part.”
In spite of the current friction with his parents, a second source said that Brooklyn and Nicola, who got married in April 2022, are stronger than ever.
“Nicola and Brooklyn are incredibly happy together, dedicated to building a marriage based on unconditional love, caring, support and family,” the insider said. “It seems this exposure to a healthy relationship has made Brooklyn question his own family and upbringing.”
The source explained how Brooklyn’s reluctance to attend David’s birthday party — which centered around Brooklyn’s dislike of his younger brother Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull — was really just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
“After recent years of attempting to set boundaries with his family and encourage honest and positive change in their relationship to no avail, he’s become discouraged and disheartened,” the source said.
Nicola has “tried to have a close and positive relationship with David and Victoria,” the source said, but recent developments have forced that to “come to an end.”
The insider added, “Nicola and Brooklyn have a mutual desire for Brooklyn to explore his interests and grow as a person. That is what is causing the family rift.”
Sister Wives stars Kody Brown and Janelle Brown are no longer married but after the death of their son Garrison, they have been united in their grief.
“Janelle and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” Kody wrote in a joint Instagram statement with Janelle in March 2024. “He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. Our loss will leave such a big hole in our lives, that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”
The former couple’s statement came shortly after Us Weekly confirmed Garrison died by suicide at the age of 25. (Kody and Janelle, who split in 2022, share six children including Garrison.)
Since Garrison’s passing, Janelle has been vocal on social media about her ups and downs with grief. Kody, meanwhile, expressed his heartbreak on several episodes of Sister Wives, season 19 of which documented the family’s initial reactions and eventual burying of Garrison.

Coming Out of the Fog
“It’s been hard to get my brain to work properly again,” Janelle explained via Instagram in March 2024, sharing photos from Garrison’s celebration of life. “I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and support I’ve received these last three weeks. The support has been overwhelming. I am honored.”
Heavenly Birthday
“Happy Birthday Sweetheart,” Janelle captioned an Instagram post in April 2024 on what would have been her son’s 26th birthday. “We are missing you terribly today. It’s hard to believe you aren’t here anymore.”
She shared, “We talked a lot about you today and even went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (your favorite place ) I still feel you nearby sometimes. And I’m grateful we will see each other again when my journey is completed.”

Mother’s Day Memories
Janelle revealed in May 2024 that she “felt the grief so close to the surface” while celebrating her first Mother’s Day without Garrison. “It was especially poignant when I made this simple pie,” she wrote via social media. “Our strawberry picking excursion combined with the fact that I randomly found rhubarb at the local farmers market made it feel like this pie was destined.”
Janelle continued: “Maybe no one loved it more than Garrison. And that made this pie a little bittersweet. I love you honey and miss you every day.”
Getting Through It
“Every day is a day,” Janelle exclusively told Us at the Us Weekly + Pluto TV Reality Stars of the Year Party at the Dream Hotel in October 2024. “You just take it one day at a time, one moment at a time.”
She explained, “I just think you do what you can to support mental health, especially men’s mental health. And we just continued to try to honor him and remember him.”
Janelle mourned her son in March 2025 on the anniversary of his death, revealing via Instagram, “I stay busy but in EVERY quiet moment you are first and foremost in my thoughts. It’s been a year baby. We miss you so much. I miss you so much.”
Gone Too Soon
Sister Wives documented the family’s reaction to Garrison’s death during a May 2025 episode, including Kody’s response to the news. “Grief comes in waves. It just wasn’t supposed to be this way. You know what I’m saying?” Kody said during the May 4 episode. “It’s just heartbreaking.”
He confessed, “I didn’t get a chance to really just make things right, just not being able to say goodbye.”
After butting heads with Garrison prior to his death over his COVID-19 rules, Kody confessed, “It’s, like, I’ve got to do something different because I could have had more time with him, and I thought there would be more time. Everybody thinks they got more time.”
Kody broke down to wife Robyn Brown, asking, “How am I going to do this? How do I do the rest of my life with every holiday and every birthday?”

Last Conversation
During the same May 2025 Sister Wives episode, Janelle recalled the hours before Garrison died. She remembered texting and talking with him throughout the day and when he stopped around 8 p.m., Janelle asked his brothers to check in on him and then she went to bed.
She woke up to a call from her son Gabriel Brown telling her that Garrison was dead. “I don’t know what happened that night he did that because he’s had other nights like this where he would drink and then pass out and he would go kind of radio silent, but he’d be back in the morning,” Janelle explained. “I don’t know what happened this time.”
Janelle later told her sister Carrie that Garrison had “anxiety and depression and then he started drinking as a way to sort of soothe that” during the coronavirus pandemic. “And then just became the animal he couldn’t get a hold of. We did everything we could. And I know that,” she concluded.
Brotherly Love
Janelle recalled during a May 2025 episode of Sister Wives that Garrison was “very much involved with the young kids.” She fondly remembered him being “very mindful” of Kody and Christine Brown’s youngest daughter, Truely.
“Robyn would comment that he would come over every day to see Sol and Ari,” Janelle explained in the May 11 episode, referring to Kody and his fourth wife’s two children, Solomon and Ariella. Janelle gushed, “He was always very much about his younger siblings.”
During the same May 2025 TLC episode, Kody detailed his desire to take Garrison’s ashes and bury them in his ancestral state of Wyoming as a sort of “pilgrimage.”
“Sometimes out of the blue, out of the blue, it’ll overcome me. Almost, like, some kind of anxiety attack,” Kody said of the process. “Just a deep, overwhelming feeling that I’ll never see him again. There’s so much left unsaid, so much left undone.”
He noted that in order to mourn, he planned to bury Garrison “next to his grandma and his grandpa and, you know, just kind of … finish the circle.” Kody teared up, saying, “I was the first one that held him. This is my son. I rocked him to sleep. This is part of my mourning process.”
Digging the Grave
“I talked to the sexton of the cemetery and he’s the one that would normally dig the graves,” Kody explained in a separate May 2025 episode of Sister Wives. “And I just asked him permission if I could dig it. It means something to me. I don’t know why.”
Kody proceeded to dig Garrison’s grave in an “old west country cemetery” in Wyoming, calling it, “One of the most important things I’ve ever done.” He revealed, “It’s the last ode to my boy. … This is my duty, my job.”
Blake Lively showed she has Taylor Swift’s back after the subpoena against her friend was dropped.
“We are pleased that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties have withdrawn their harassing subpoenas to Taylor Swift and her law firm,” a spokesperson for Lively, 37, said in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, May 22. “We supported the efforts of Taylor’s team to quash these inappropriate subpoenas directed to her counsel and we will continue to stand up for any third party who is unjustly harassed or threatened in the process.”
The statement also acknowledged what a powerhouse Swift, 35, is in the world.
“The Baldoni and Wayfarer team have tried to put Taylor Swift, a woman who has been an inspiration for tens of millions across the globe, at the center of this case since day one,” the statement continued. “Exploiting Taylor Swift’s celebrity was the original plan in Melissa Nathan’s scenario planning document, and it continues to this day. Faced with having to justify themselves in federal court, they folded. At some point they will run out of distractions from the actual claims of sexual harassment and retaliation they are facing.”
Us confirmed on Thursday, that the subpoena against Swift was dropped. A source close to the matter told Us the summons for Swift was dropped “because information was voluntarily provided” to Baldoni’s legal team.
Us reached out to Swift and Baldoni for comment at the time.
Swift was brought into Lively and Baldoni’s ongoing legal drama after being mentioned in their respective lawsuits. In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni accusing her It Ends With Us director and costar of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment and orchestrating an alleged smear campaign against her.
The following month, Baldoni, who vehemently denied the allegations, countersued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds. He accused the couple of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and more. Lively and Reynolds denied the allegations and filed to dismiss the $400 million lawsuit.
Sony
Baldoni’s lawyer claimed that they spoke to an ally of Swift. The attorney alleged that Lively urged Swift to delete any personal text messages between them and allegedly asked the singer to publicly back her amid the drama.
Earlier this month, Baldoni’s legal team subpoenaed Swift. Swift reacted to the legal situation via a statement through her representative and denied having any creative involvement in the movie.
“Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film,” the rep said in a statement to Us at the time. “She did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history.”
The statement continued: “The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, ‘My Tears Ricochet.’ Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did. This document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.”
While Lively publicly defended Swift amid her legal issues, a source told Us that the lawsuits have made an impact on the pair’s friendship.
“Taylor and Blake have spoken, and Blake [said she’s sorry],” an insider revealed in a recent Us cover story. “Taylor is very forgiving, and in her eyes, she still considers Blake a friend. But the lawsuit is still ongoing, and until it’s resolved, [things are] difficult.”
