Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and Fiancee Sarah Jane Ramos' Relationship Timeline

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s romance with Sarah Jane Ramos is worthy of a touchdown.

Shortly after Prescott teased in an August 2023 interview that his relationship status was “pending,” he went Instagram official with Ramos.

“Entering a new decade with so much gratitude,” Ramos wrote via Instagram in November 2023. “Blessed and thankful for my family and friends that celebrated with me in my new home ⭐ I truly have everything I could wish for and have a feeling this next chapter will be the best one yet 🥰🎂💘 #30.”

Prescott replied, “So much to love in this post! Welcome to [the] 30 club, my love.”

Weeks later, Ramos started attending Prescott’s Cowboys games on a regular basis.

“Blessed is an understatement,” she wrote via Instagram in September 2024, sharing a pic with Prescott on the NFL sidelines.

Prescott proposed in October 2024, months after they welcomed daughter Margaret Jane “MJ” Rose earlier that year. Their second daughter, Aurora Rayne, arrived in May 2025.

Ramos celebrated her 30th birthday with a November 17 Instagram photo of herself attending one of Prescott’s Cowboys games.

Less than one week later, she announced that she was pregnant.

“A little bit of Heaven sent down to Earth 🤍,” she wrote via Instagram, sharing maternity photos. “Our immeasurable blessing. I cannot wait to raise a strong, confident, beautiful baby girl with you.”

Prescott commented, noting that he was “thankful to do this with you.”

“God makes no mistakes and nothing is coincidental and for that, I thank Him Daily! ❤,” he wrote back. “I love you, and y’all can always count on me ♥🙏🏽 Let’s do this Mama 😍.”

February 2024

Ramos gave birth to MJ on February 22.

“I feel different, you wake up in the morning, you see that baby and understand the responsibilities,” Prescott told reporters the next month of fatherhood. “Everything that I’ve always wanted for myself, but to want that for somebody else even more. It’s special. Everybody’s healthy and at home. We’re blessed.”

Three months postpartum, Ramos later joined Prescott at his Faith Fight Finish Foundation’s annual gala in May.

“What a beautiful evening filled with so much positivity and hope,” Ramos wrote via Instagram at the time. “Thank you to the @faithfightfinish4 team for putting on such an amazing event and to the one and only @_4dak for the continuous GOOD you do in this world and your endless desire to fight for what you believe in. 😘 I think I can speak for everyone when I say this night exceeded its expectations!”

Prescott proposed to Ramos by dressing their then-8-month-old daughter in a onesie that read, “Hi mommy, daddy has a question for you!” The letter “o” in “you” was denoted with an image of a ring.

Ramos said, “yes,” accepting a sparkler valued at $1 million.

Two months later, Ramos announced that she was pregnant again as she and MJ continued cheering on Prescott at his football games.

“Until next year 💙💙💙,” Ramos wrote via Instagram in January 2025, sharing photos of the mother-daughter pair dressed in matching denim outfits.

What to Know About the Investigation Into Hiking Influencer’s Death

An investigation is underway into hiking influencer Hannah Moody’s death.

“Hannah was first reported missing around 7:50 p.m. on May 21 by concerned friends who had not heard from her,” the Scottsdale Police Department confirmed in a May 22 press release. “Scottsdale officers responded to the trailhead where she was last seen and located her vehicle still in the parking lot.

Search efforts continued for Hannah for approximately four and a half hours until around 11:30 p.m., when the search was called off for the evening.”

The search efforts resumed on May 22, with more than 20 officers participating on bicycles, foot and with the assistance of drones operated by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office search and rescue team and air unit. Her body was located around 12:05 p.m., about 600 yards off-trail.

How 'Duck Dynasty: The Revival' Will Pay Tribute to Phil Robertson

Duck Dynasty will pay tribute to Phil Robertson after the patriarch’s death days before the revival premiered.

Phil’s surviving son Willie Robertson will kick off the Sunday, June 1, premiere of the A&E series by reading from his labtop while seated in a living room chair.

“So ladies and gentleman, start your engines,” Willie says, according to the outlet. “Only one will earn the bandana, so let the games begin. What do you think, Phil?”

Phil then reportedly answers his son with a big thumbs up.

“Ah, that was awesome!” Willie replies, laughing as the screen reportedly fades to black, flashing an in-memoriam tribute to Phil featuring a photograph of the late patriarch.

One week before Duck Dynasty‘s return, the Robertson family confirmed that Phil died at age 79 following a battle with Alzheimer’s.

“We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord,” Korie Robertson wrote in the May 25 statement. “He reminded us often of the words of Paul, ‘You do not grieve like those who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.”

She added: “Thank you for the love and prayers of so many whose lives have been impacted by his life saved by grace, his bold faith, and by his desire to tell everyone who would listen the Good News of Jesus. We are grateful for his life on earth and will continue the legacy of love for God and love for others until we see him again. We know so many of you love him and have been impacted by his life.”

Reality TV Tragedies: The Saddest and Most Shocking Deaths

Phil’s diagnosis was originally confirmed by his family in December 2024 after news broke that A&E ordered Duck Dynasty: The Revival. The original show, which aired from 2012 to 2017, gave viewers an inside look at the lives of the Louisiana natives and their business, Duck Commander.

In addition to patriarch Phil and his wife, Kay Robertson, the OG series followed Phil’s brother Si Robertson and Phil’s sons: Willie, Jep Robertson and Jase Robertson.

A&E

Willie, 53, and his family — including wife Korie, daughter Sadie Robertson and son John Luke Robertson — were also at the center of the show’s initial run. Duck Dynasty faced backlash in 2013 when Phil was briefly suspended over homophobic and racist comments made in an interview with GQ.

Phil ultimately returned and when the show ended, he led his own series titled In the Woods With Phil and hosted the “Unashamed With Phil Robertson” podcast.

'Duck Dynasty' Cast: Where Are They Now?

Before Phil’s death, Willie reflected on how their family was cherishing the time they had left with him.

“I think it’s just [about] giving and caring about the people you love the most, and that’s the family and the grandkids,” Willie exclusively told Us Weekly in a May cover story. “I mean, every moment now I think about how special it is, like, one Saturday we were down fishing, and so I had ’em all there and just these small, tiny moments.”

He continued: “I think a lot of us just forget about ’em. We don’t think about how special they are. And so, you realize that once you see someone getting really towards the end of their life and won’t be here — or certainly are not in the mental capacity to even have a conversation — those moments are special, and you just want to enjoy ’em and live in that moment, live in the small things and don’t get too caught up in just running after all the things that we run after and we get busy.”

Duck Dynasty: The Revival airs on A&E Sundays at 9 pm. ET.

Brian Austin Green and Sharna Burgess Discuss Moving to Australia

Brian Austin Green and fiancée Sharna Burgess have contemplated relocating Down Under — at least part-time.

Green, 51, and Burgess, 39, revealed in a Stellar magazine cover story published on Sunday, June 1, that they have been mulling over whether to purchase a second house in Australia.

Green and Burgess primarily live with their children — they share son Zane, 2, while the actor is the father of four older kids from past relationships — in Los Angeles. At times, Burgess returns to her native Australia to film seasons of Dancing With the Stars Australia as a judge.

“It’s been really, really cool, especially after being away for such a long time,” Burgess told the Australian magazine of returning home. “We’ve loved the beach time. Bri and two of the kids climbed the Harbour Bridge — they loved it. The photo we have in our kitchen is [of them with] massive smiles and windswept hair. It’s the cutest thing.”

She jokingly added to Green, “Aussies are awesome, you know this.”

Green generally agreed with his fiancée — except on one core point.

“Vegemite makes me question that a little bit, but whatever,” Green quipped, referring to the country’s notorious thick, dark brown spread made from leftover brewers’ yeast extract and various vegetable and spice additives.

Green and Burgess have been together since 2021, getting engaged two years later. According to the former DWTS pro, son Zane completely “bonded everyone together.”

“I was always incredibly close with the kids as our relationship grew,” Burgess added to the outlet. “When Zane came along, it was like that piece locked in where they were, like, ‘Oh, this is forever.’”

Green shares son Kassius, 23, with ex Vanessa Marcil, as well as children Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex-wife Megan Fox.

“One of the things that I fell in love with about Brian very early on was the way he is as a father to his children,” Burgess exclusively told Us Weekly in May. “He is the kind of father that I honestly wish that I grew up with.”

She added, “He is the kind of man that I watch every day with our children, and the way that he parents, and the way that he is not just parenting but living as an example of what a good man should be — in his conversations, in the way he loves me, in the way that he loves our children. He’s a phenomenal human being. The respect that he gives the people around him. He’s the kind of man that I want my kids to grow up watching.”

Kristin Cavallari Says Her Kids Wanted to Be on Her Social Media 'For Years'

Kristin Cavallari is defending her decision to post images and videos of her kids on social media.

“They have been asking me for years to post them,” she explained in an interview with People published on Sunday, June 1, referring to her children Camden, 12, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, 9, who she shares with ex-husband Jay Cutler.

“I guess it was maybe a year and a half ago that I finally posted Camden,” she continued. “He’s almost 13, Saylor is 9 — she’ll be 10 in the fall. It’s sort of the curse of being the second or the third kid. They just sort of naturally do what the oldest is doing. In my perfect world, would they all be 12 [before] deciding if they were posted? Sure. But also, it’s just not realistic.”

Cavallari spent most of her children’s lives hiding their faces from social media, but she said that now that they’ve grown up a little she enjoys sharing them with her followers online.

Kristin Cavallari Shares Rare New Photos of Son Jaxon on His 11th Birthday

“It is nice for me to be able to show that with people because my kids are the biggest part of my life. They always have been since I became a mom,” she explained. “And I could only let people in so much without showing my kids, so to be able to now share that world with everybody? People [can] see at the end of the day, I am just a normal mom. That is my life.”

Cavallari also emphasized that when she isn’t working, she’s doing things with and for her children.

“I’m going to basketball practice and games like every other parent. I’m at school. I was on a field trip last Friday. I am doing all the normal mom things,” she said. “And I think it’s probably good for people to see because I think people’s idea of me is very different than who I actually am.”

Kristin Cavallari Defends Showing Son Camden’s Face on Instagram

Back in 2023, Cavallari spoke with Us Weekly about her children’s relationship with social media. “I just joined TikTok and my oldest is, like, checking my numbers constantly. Like, ‘How many followers do you have now?’ So I get all of that,” the Hills alum revealed to Us at the time. “I still think they’re a little young to be on that stuff, but the day is coming, of course. Selfishly, I’m excited for them to join all this stuff because then that means I can start posting them ‘cause, I mean, of course, I wanna share that whole part of my world with people.”

She added: “I just wanna respect their privacy until they’re old enough to make that decision. I think I wanna keep them off of social media for a few more years. I mean, my oldest is almost 11, but I think that’s really young to be on social media.”

Derek Hough Reveals Whether Taylor and Tay Lautner Could Be on 'DWTS'

Derek Hough is weighing in on whether Taylor and Tay Lautner could be heading to the ballroom for season 34 of Dancing With the Stars.

“I’m bored,” Hough, 40, wrote in a Saturday, May 31, TikTok. “Cast someone I’d have no choice but to go from judge back to pro again for. Make it realistic but also go big. Don’t hold back. DWTS casting team is listening.”

Social media users quickly took to the comments section to suggest possible contestants, including Taylor Swift (Hough replied, “OK twist my arm”), Britney Spears (He wrote, “Ultimate”), Sabrina Carpenter (He claimed, “We used to work out together”) — or the Lautners.

“Taylor Lautner himself or his wife Tay,” one user wrote, to which Hough replied, “This might actually happen.”

Tay, 28, has been vocal about her desire to compete on the show, sharing in a January 2024 episode of her and Taylor’s “The Squeeze” podcast that being cast “would be really fun.” Taylor, 33, chimed in to add that being on DWTS is his wife’s “dream.”

Hough, for his part, won six Mirrorball Trophies during his time on DWTS before exiting from the ABC reality dancing competition in 2016. He returned four years later as a judge. Hough is expected to return as a judge for season 34 of DWTS, which is set to premiere in the fall.

While the full cast — and returning pros — have yet to be announced, ABC revealed in April that Robert Irwin had been slated as the first celebrity contestant. The next month, Robert, 21, exclusively told Us Weekly that he would be seeking the advice and support of sister Bindi Irwin while appearing on DWTS. (Bindi, 26, won with Hough in 2015.)

“I remember watching [her] on that show just thinking, ‘This is the coolest thing ever,’” Robert told Us.

In May, influencer Alix Earle was announced as the second star competing for the Mirrorball Trophy.

“This is so surreal,” Earle, 24, said while appearing on Good Morning America at the time. “I mean, I’ve always been a fan of Dancing With the Stars. I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma … I was so in love with dance. When this opportunity came to me, it was like, ‘What can I do next? Where can I take this?’ I mean, I’m ready to challenge myself, I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun. It was a very obvious answer to say yes.”

When asked whether she has a partner in mind, Earle noted that she’s open to any of the pros.

“I would be grateful to be with anyone,” she said. “I think they’re all so talented. I’m looking for a partner who’s gonna be a good time, a good friend and really push me to be my best.”

'BiP' Alums Jade Roper, Tanner Tolbert Enlist Kids for DIY Reno Project

Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert are fixing up their new house, with a trio of special helpers in tow.

“We are doing our first little renovation ‘project’ on the new house and thought what a fun thing to include the kids in on,” Roper, 38, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 1, referring to children Emmy, 7, Brooks, 5, and Reed, 4. “Today, we are ripping some wallpaper down and celebrating with a little chicken-banana dance!! Emmy has been asking us to do this dance for a while now and was super excited if you can’t tell.”

In the video, Roper and Tolbert, 38, joined forces with Emmy and Brooks — all wearing sunglasses — for a hilarious dance. (Reed was off-camera, filming the family shenanigans.)

The Bachelor Nation alums purchased a new property in Kansas City, Missouri, in April.

“Still doesn’t feel real,” Roper wrote via Instagram at the time. “So many things had to fall into place for this to happen, and I truly, really feel at home here. Like it’s always belonged to us. Who’s ready for the renovations? We have no idea what we’re doing.”

Tolbert, meanwhile, jokingly replied, “What are we doing? I don’t even own tools ⚒ 🧰.”

The couple apparently figured out how to fix up the house by Sunday.

“We’re at the new house and we figured it would only be appropriate and fun to do our first little reno project with the kids,” Roper said in an Instagram Story video. “So, what did we do, Emmy?”

Emmy chimed in to note that they ripped “out wallpaper” in the dining room.

“It was a lot of fun,” Roper added.

The dining area initially had burgundy-colored walls with white crown molding around the ceiling and two rounded windows.

“The dining room is one of my favorite rooms in the whole house,” Roper added via her Instagram Stories. “Can’t wait to make it ‘us.’”

Roper and Tolbert moved back to his native Missouri from California in late 2024. At the time, they planned to build a new property from the ground up.

“We bought 10 acres. This is a dream come true for me,” Roper, who hailed from Nebraska, wrote via Instagram in November 2024. “I grew up in the country and have so many fond memories of my childhood playing outside in nature and exploring with my brothers. Can’t wait to give our kids this kind of childhood. We’re so excited for this journey to build our dream home.”

She revealed earlier this year that they decided to sell the land and purchase an already-built home instead.

Honey Boo Boo Says Julie Chrisley Looks 'Older' With 'Jailhouse Dye Job'

Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson is sharing her unfiltered thoughts on Julie Chrisley’s appearance following her presidential pardon and release from prison.

“She looks, I mean, she’s been in jail for two years,” Thompson, 19, said in a Saturday, May 31, interview with Page Six Radio. “Like, what did you guys expect?”

After the reality TV star and former beauty pageant contestant was shown some headlines about Julie, 52, which claimed she left prison with a “shocking look” that simply showed her gray roots, Thompson and the reporters lamented the difficulty that must come with having a so-called “jailhouse dye job.”

“I don’t even know if I would want a jailhouse dye job,” Thompson added, before clarifying that she doesn’t believe Julie looks “bad” post-incarceration.

Julie Chrisley Spotted for 1st Time With Gray and Brown Hair After Prison Release

“I don’t think she looks bad,” she explained. “I can say, I do think she looks a lot older. One-hundred percent. I do think before she went to jail she looked very young, but I don’t think she looks bad. She’s an older woman.”

Julie and her husband Todd, 56, were serving federal prison sentences for bank fraud and tax evasion when they were pardoned by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, May 28. Hours later, Todd was released from a minimum-security prison camp in Pensacola, Florida, while Julie left a facility in Lexington, Kentucky.

“We just want to get home. We want to be reunited,” the pair’s daughter, Savannah, told reporters outside the Florida prison as she waited to greet her father upon his release. “My parents have not spoken to each other, heard each others’ voices or seen each other in the past two-and-a-half years.”

Thompson, whose family has had their own legal troubles over the years, said that while she has some “thoughts” on Julie she doesn’t actively hope for the worst for her or her family.

Julie Chrisley Has No Plans to Return to Blonde Hair After Prison Stay

“I do have thoughts on her, but I’m not wishing any harm on the family,” she continued on Saturday. “I’m not gonna lie, I seen Todd and he’s the only one that, like, if I seen a picture of him, I would know. He’s the only one. I mean, he’s very — you can tell who Todd is. So I’ve seen him and Savannah and they had a paper bag, a Nordstrom bag, over his head. I’m like, what?! He’s hilarious.”

In March 2019, Thompson’s mother, June Shannon, and her then-boyfriend Geno Doak were arrested in Alabama on drug charges, including felony drug possession of crack cocaine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

“Mama June,” as she is called, ultimately avoided jail time by agreeing to community service and to maintain her sobriety. Doak was sentenced to 16 months and placed in a community corrections program that allowed him to work and be at his own residence, also avoiding jail time.

Chris Hughes Shares Bed Selfie With JoJo Siwa Amid Romance Rumors

Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa are cozying up to each other amid romance rumors.

In a Sunday, June 1, Snapchat post, Hughes, 32, shared a selfie showing him and Siwa, 22, in bed together. Siwa gave a soft smile with her eyes closed while she rested her head on Hughes and lay a hand across his chest. Hughes, who was shirtless, had his arm wrapped around Siwa’s head as he pressed a kiss to her forehead.

“Sleeepinnn beauty,” Hughes captioned the post.

The post comes amid speculation that Hughes and Siwa are more than friends after the pair formed a bond on the most recent season of Celebrity Big Brother UK. After Siwa departed from the competition, her relationship with then-partner Kath Ebbs came to an end.

Siwa exclusively told Us Weekly in a May cover story that her friendship with Hughes had “absolutely nothing to do with my breakup.”

“We still speak all the time, obviously, naturally,” Siwa told Us of her status with Hughes at the time. “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.”

As Siwa rang in her birthday later that month, Hughes was featured in her Instagram carousel — which included several photos of the pair cozying up, including one of him holding her leg.

“This years birthday week was more magical than anything🤍🪄,” Siwa captioned her post. “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.”

JoJo Siwa Fuels Romance Rumors With Chris Hughes After ‘Magical’ Trip

After the celebration, The Sun obtained photos of Siwa and Hughes locking lips while on vacation in Mexico. (Us Weekly reached out to both Siwa and Hughes’ reps for comment at the time.)

Days later, Siwa appeared on ITV’s Lorraine and was asked by the show’s host, Andi Peters, whether Hughes was her boyfriend. “No,” Siwa said, while laughing. “It’s so funny to me how straight-up people get nowadays.”

Peters went on to ask Siwa whether there’s been “a chat” about their exclusivity, referencing Love Island, which Hughes previously starred on.

“Christopher and I have had a lot of chats,” Siwa responded. “We have never gone into the kitchen and said, ‘My head’s not turning any way.’ We’ve never had that version of a chat.”

She continued, “Chris is doing the furthest thing from letting us down. He couldn’t let me down even if he tried. He couldn’t let anybody down. He’s the best man.”

Jenna Dewan brought out all the “cool mom” vibes to celebrate her daughter Everly’s 12th birthday.

The actress shared photos via Instagram on Saturday, May 31, from Everly’s party, which appeared to have a Labubu theme. (The grinning Pop Mart collectible creatures have been soaring in popularity as of late.) Treats included a pink Labubu cake by Los Angeles-based Cakes by Claritza and a sweets setup by Cocoa & Candy. Dewan, 44, also decorated with Labubu and heart balloons, and hosted an outdoor picnic-style screening of Clueless.

“She’s 12,” Dewan wrote alongside a photo of Everly via her Instagram Stories. “There are too many emotions to even begin to express and process today but I am overwhelmed with pride. Evie, you are beautiful inside and out, the sweetest most empathetic and gorgeous shiny soul and forever and ever the most fun to be around. I am the luckiest mama in the world!!! Thank you for forever changing my life, sweet girl!”

The Rookie star also posted a sweet tribute to Everly via Instagram. Alongside a carousel of photos, she wrote, “I get so emotional on your birthdays Evie because there are just no words to express it all. You made me a mama, you have always been my catalyst north star, magical spirit, soul baby that there is just no way to express how much you mean to me! You are light, you are everything magical and special and amazing and I am so lucky to be your mom! Thank you for being you in this world. We all love you so much, you are everything to all of us and I can’t wait to continue celebrating you today and every day!! Happy Birthday, Monkey!”

Jenna Dewan Calls Coparenting With Ex-Husband Channing Tatum a ‘Journey’

Dewan shares Everly with ex-husband Channing Tatum, whom she was married to from 2009 to 2018. She is now engaged to Steve Kazee, with whom she shares son Callum, 5, and daughter Rhiannon, 11 months.

Callum and Rhiannon were in attendance at their big sister’s party, with Dewan sharing photos of the pair enjoying the balloon decor.

Dewan and Tatum, 45, have prioritized their daughter as they’ve worked out a coparenting relationship.

She told Romper in 2024: “It’s always a journey. It never ends. You just learn as you go and get better at certain things, and for me, Evie will always be my top priority. I just continually put her first. That’s how I can manage all hard things.”

Tatum opened up a bit about their dynamic in a 2023 Vanity Fair profile, admitting he and Dewan had different approaches to parenting.

12`q“I think we told ourselves a story when we were young, and we just kept telling ourselves that story, no matter how blatantly life was telling us that we were so different. But when you’re actually parents, you really understand [the] differences between the two of you,” he said. “Because it is screaming at you all day long: how you parent differently, how you look at the world, how you go through the world.”

Tatum added that although divorce was hard, it’s made him a better father.

“It was probably exactly what I needed. I don’t think I would’ve ever done the work, I think, on myself in the way that I had to do the work on myself to really try to figure out what next. And really, it just started with my daughter,” he said. “I just dropped everything and just focused on her. And it was truly the best possible thing that I ever could have done. Because in the alone time that I have with just me and her, we’ve become best friends.”

50 Cent Will 'Reach Out' to Stop Diddy From Getting a Presidential Pardon

50 Cent is about to take political — and legal — matters into his own hands.

“He said some really bad things about Trump, it’s not OK,” the rapper, 49, said via Instagram on Friday, May 30, after President Donald Trump claimed he would consider pardoning Sean “Diddy” Combs before or if he is convicted of his alleged crimes, and if the president is asked.

“I’m gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy,” 50 Cent continued.

The rapper, born Curtis Jackson, has had a long-standing feud with Diddy. In March 2024, 50 Cent told fans he was working on a project about Diddy’s legal troubles. Alongside cover art of Diddy, 50 Cent, who is now an acclaimed TV producer, wrote on X: “This is gonna break records when this drop.”

50 Cent Shares Post Claiming Fans Are Paid to Wear ‘Free Diddy’ Shirts

Trump was asked about the imprisoned Diddy, who is currently on trial for sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering conspiracy, on Friday. “Well, nobody’s asked,” the president said in response to a question from Fox News’ Peter Doocy regarding a potential pardon. “I know people are thinking about it.” (Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.)

“First of all, I’d look at what’s happening,” Trump continued on Friday. “I haven’t been watching it too closely, although it’s certainly getting a lot of coverage.”

Trump also spoke about his former friendship with Diddy. “He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics … that relationship busted up, from what I read,” Trump added. “I don’t know — he didn’t tell me that, but I’d read some little bit nasty statements in the paper all of a sudden.”

“I would certainly look at the facts,” he said. “If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me.”

Diddy’s trial began at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in New York City on May 5. Trump has the ability to pardon Diddy during the trial or after its conclusion, and the question about pardoning Diddy might have been raised as a result of his recent pardons for reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley.

The Chrisley Knows Best couple were indicted on fraud charges in 2019. While they each maintained their innocence, Todd and Julie were found guilty in 2022. Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while his wife was set to serve seven years. Their sentences were reduced by nearly two years in 2024.

Patti LuPone Offers 1st-Ever Apology for 'Demeaning' Interview Comments

Patti LuPone has responded to backlash over her recent wide-ranging interview, which included pointed digs at many other Broadway stars.

“For as long as I have worked in the theatre, I have spoken my mind and never apologized. That is changing today,” LuPone, 76, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, May 31. “I am deeply sorry for the words I used during The New Yorker interview, particularly about Kecia Lewis, which were demeaning and disrespectful.”

While speaking to the outlet, LuPone brushed off Lewis’ Broadway credits while lamenting about sharing a wall between their respective theaters. (Lewis, 59, performed in Hell’s Kitchen next door to where LuPone and Mia Farrow’s The Roommate was played in the New York theater district.)

“I regret my flippant and emotional responses during this interview, which were inaccurate,” LuPone added in her apology statement. “I am devastated that my behavior has offended others and run counter to what we hold dear in this community.”

Revisiting Patti LuPone's Shadiest Comments About Other Stars

Elsewhere in her New Yorker profile, LuPone claimed that fellow Broadway superstar Audra McDonald was “not a friend” for undisclosed reasons.

“I hope I have the chance to speak to Audra and Kecia personally to offer my sincere apologies,” she stressed, going on to address the open letter many stage actors signed, hoping to bar LuPone from attending the 2025 Tony Awards later in June. “I wholeheartedly agree with everything that was written in the open letter.”

She continued, “From middle school drama clubs to professional stages, theatre has always been about lifting each other up and welcoming those who feel they don’t belong anywhere else. I made a mistake, I take full responsibility for it, and I am committed to making this right.”

In the end, LuPone stressed that the “entire theatre community deserves better.”

While Lewis has not publicly addressed LuPone’s remarks, McDonald, 54, responded to the feud speculation during a May appearance on CBS Mornings.

“If there’s a rift between us, I don’t know what it is,” McDonald said. “That’s something you’d have to ask Patti about. I haven’t seen her in about 11 years just because we’ve been busy with life and stuff, so I don’t know what rift she’s talking about, but you’d have to ask her.”

While neither Lewis nor McDonald has reacted to LuPone’s apology, many other stars were proud of the Agatha All Along star for owning her behavior.

“Well said, Patti ❤👏,” Andy Cohen replied via Instagram comment, while Sarah Paulson and Kristin Chenoweth each sent heart emojis.

Kaity Biggar ‘Said Yes to the Dress’ Before Zach Shallcross Wedding

Kaity Biggar is one step closer to tying the knot with former Bachelor Zach Shallcross.

In a Friday, May 30, social media post, Biggar, 30, was all smiles as she walked into a bridal shop and lifted her hands above her head in excitement. In the clip, Biggar perused a rack of dresses while glasses were filled with champagne.

Biggar proceeded to try on five gowns in the upload, which ranged in style from lace to strapless with a tight bodice. At the end of the clip, Biggar gave a thumbs up for the camera.

“Tried on the most stunning gowns with @pronoviasofficial at their Austin location and…I can finally say I’ve said YES TO THE DRESS!” she captioned the post. “I can’t wait for you to see the exact one I chose!! Let the countdown begin.”

Shallcross, 28, weighed in in the comments section of her Instagram post, writing, “Soon 👀❤.”

Biggar accepted a proposal from Shallcross on season 27 of The Bachelor in 2023.

“I can no longer say I’m falling in love with you, because, Kaity Lane, I am so in love with you. You are my world,” Zach said during the finale before getting down on one knee. “The love I feel for you is something I could’ve never imagined and something I thought a lot of my life I would never be able to deserve. I love you so much. I love you with all my heart. You’re the face I want to wake up to every morning. I want to go through life with you and only you. Kaity, I want to be with you forever. … You’re the only one I want in my life. … Kaity, will you marry me?”

Less than two years later, Shallcross popped the question to Biggar again.

In March, Biggar shared that she and Shallcross locked down a date for their upcoming wedding.

“OFFICALLY [sic] have the date we are getting married!! 💍 📅 🤍,” she captioned a joint Instagram post with Shallcross, which included a compilation of moments from their relationship. She wrote over the video alongside a middle finger emoji, “When they say you’ll never make it as a couple.”

‘Love Is Blind’ Alum Raven Ross Shares Staggering Cost of Pilates Training

Before Raven Ross went on Love Is Blind season 3, she started building her fitness empire.

“Oh my gosh, it was not easy,” Ross, 32, said on the Sunday, June 1, episode of the “Sunday Sports Club” podcast. “Because Pilates is so popular, a lot of people have the aspiration to become an instructor, and I’m, like, ‘Girl, are you well?’”

She added, “I think my training was, like, $10,000 [and] literally at some points I was like, ‘Am I in med school?’ Learning so much about the body [and taking] all these tests, all the time. Then, on top of that, we had to get private instruction from our instructors.”

According to Ross, her “very exhausting” journey included taking classes, getting practice teaching and more.

‘Love Is Blind’ Season 3 Cast: Where Are They Now?

“So, I did that and then, years down the line, I had to redo it to become a master teacher trainer, so I can now teach courses,” Ross said. “I did that a few years ago, but it was so worth it. It was so draining [and] a lot of work went into it.”

Ross started her Pilates training during the COVID-19 pandemic, which preceded her stint on Love Is Blind. (On the show, she got engaged to Sikiru “SK” Alagbada before he broke up with her at the altar. They briefly dated after the show but eventually split over cheating allegations that he denied.)

“I started my YouTube channel [after] only the first season had come out,” she said on Sunday’s episode, acknowledging that her eventual reality TV fame “100 percent” helped her business. “It’s not like this was a sure thing. [My season] could very well not have ever come out. I was, like, living my life post-Love Is Blind. I was like, ‘Who knows what’s going to come of this?’”

Love Is Blind’s Raven Ross and Sikiru ‘SK’ Alagbada’s Ups and Downs

She added, “You do this life-altering thing and then you go back to your normal life, so that’s what I did. I started my YouTube channel, so by the time Love Is Blind came out, over a year later, I already had [an audience] and a TikTok talking about Pilates. … When the show came out, it was a huge propeller, like, God bless.”

In addition to her usual classes, Ross launched a 14-day “Revenge Body” program on Playbook after season 3 hit Netflix.

“It’s something that I’ve, like, literally poured my heart and soul into,” Ross exclusively told Us Weekly of the program in February 2023. “It’s really helped me to kind of, like, overcome mental and physical challenges and I hope that it inspires other people to do the same.”

Tiffany Haddish Swears By This 1 Private Ritual Before Performing

Tiffany Haddish knows how to deliver the laughs, but there’s one part of her getting-ready routine that she says is essential to get into the right headspace.

“It’s my personal feel-good music,” Haddish, 45, told Us Weekly at FGI’s 29th Annual Rising Star Awards in New York City. “Not even my team hears it. It’s in my AirPods.”

So, what’s on the top secret playlist? “None of your business!” the Girls Trip star quipped before spilling the real surprise. “It’s basically Hz tones — 420, 480, 550.”

Haddish, who hosted the Rising Star Awards ceremony, says it typically takes her two hours to get ready to emcee a high-profile event — and that’s with a team handling hair, makeup and wardrobe.

“A lot of people will be pulling on you, and you need to be in a good space mentally and spiritually in order to handle that,” she explained. “Especially on those lady days! You really just want to fight people because you’re dying. There’s a funeral happening, and nobody knows but you!”

Tiffany Haddish Says a Fan Randomly Auditioned for Her on Ring Camera

FGI’s star-studded luncheon honored rising talents in fashion, beauty, accessories and fine jewelry. Among them was Texas-born designer Lee Evans Lee, founder of Mrs Momma Bear, a brand redefining modern workwear with a blend of ranch-ready durability and runway-inspired style. A fifth-generation West Texas rancher, Lee transitioned from life on the ranch to the fashion world, creating a line that combines the comfort of activewear with the elegance of high fashion.

“I’m actually here to promote dreamers, creativity, and working together,” Lee said. “The core of the brand is reaching a hand down and lifting everybody up. My brand statement is we’re with love. So everything I do is with love.”

This year’s ceremony drew a stylish crowd of designers, executives, and tastemakers, including Elie Tahari, Dennis Basso, Fern Mallis, Gary and Cole Wassner, Cyril Verdavainne, Frederick Anderson, Jonathan Cohen, Ken Downing, James Aguiar, Joanna Coles, Micaela Erlanger, NJ Falk and many others.

The 2025 Met Gala Red Carpet Fashion: See Every Celebrity Look

Robert Chavez, former president and CEO of Hermès Americas, received the Lifetime Achievement Award. With over 45 years of experience in the retail industry, including 24 years leading Hermès Americas, Chavez highlighted how the fashion industry’s ability to adapt and pivot during changing times has been crucial to enduring success.

“Whatever’s on the horizon, they’re always looking at that horizon and saying, ‘OK, so this is changing, that’s changing,’” Chavez said. “If you look at what’s happened over the decades, brands that have popped up were created for a reason. It’s still happening today — and that’s what this business is all about. And it’s very inspiring to see how quickly people can adapt and pivot.”

Miley Cyrus Shares Her True Thoughts on Eventually Becoming a Mother

Miley Cyrus will proudly admit she’s a mama’s girl —but when it comes to her own life, she has little desire to become a mother herself.

“It’s not something I’m focused on. For being such an opinionated, sure person, this is an element in my life that I’ve never been super attached to a yes or no answer,” Cyrus, 32, told The New York Times in a far-ranging interview published on Saturday, May 31.

“I was talking to my stepdad [Dominic Purcell], and he said, ‘Why are you the only celebrity without a makeup line?’ And I said, ‘’Cause I’m not passionate about it.’ And he said, ‘That’s the right answer.’ I feel that way about motherhood. It’s just never been something that I’ve been overly passionate about,” she continued, pointing out her strong bond with her own mom, Tish Cyrus. “It’s a lot of responsibility and devotion and energy, and if you’re not passionate about that, I don’t know how you do sleepless nights and 18 years of what my mom dealt with. And when I say 18 years, I mean 33, ’cause I’m still a baby. So I’ve never felt the burn, you know? And I think for me, the burn is everything.”

Miley has shared her thoughts on motherhood before, telling W Magazine in June 2024, “I’m 31 now, and I still don’t know if I want kids or not. I feel like my fans kind of are my kids in some way. I’ve heard Dolly [Parton] say that too, because she didn’t have kids.”

Miley Cyrus 'Owned a Lot' of Mom Tish's Pain Throughout Billy Ray Marriage

Parton, 79, is Miley’s godmother, whom she told NYT she admires for “staying true to herself.”

“You see the celebrities that don’t have joy in their life. She’s someone who obviously had a superprivate relationship and a private life, and it was just something I always admired,” Miley said. “More than the way that she looks or the way that she performs, I admired her staying true to herself and being at home with her husband, Carl [Dean], who she just lost, and having a real life and having a lot of love in it.”

Miley, who was briefly married to Liam Hemsworth after a long on-off relationship, is currently dating musician Maxx Morando. She admitted, however, that despite being a full-blown adult, she still feels overly attached to her mother — so much so that now that Tish, 58, isn’t on the road with her anymore she feels a loss of “safety.”

“My mom no longer travels with me, because I’m 33 years old, and it was getting ridiculous,” she said. “I never want to detach from my mom, because we’re so close. I’ll get tears in my eyes even talking about her. But if nature plays its course in the way that it does, I will be an individual without my mom at some point, and that used to completely paralyze me. So I guess the reason I said ‘I mother me’ is because I don’t have my mom with me the way that I used to. And now I just go, ‘What was it about her that made everything better?’ It was safety, because I knew any situation that I didn’t feel safe in, my mom would get me out of it or make it better. And so now I just imagine what soothed me about her, and then I do it for myself.”

The Grammy winner also discussed how her song “End of the World” is about a “completely ridiculous” time when she and Tish were separated.

“She went on a vacation to Italy without me for one week, and it felt like the end of the world to both of us,” Miley admitted. “That’s what it’s about. I had never had my mom leave the country without me before. I’m too old to feel that way, but that’s how I felt. And my mom called me and said: ‘I don’t know why, but I want to cry today. I’m looking out my window, and there’s nothing out there for me, because you’re back home.’ The first lyric is, ‘Today you woke up and you told me that you wanted to cry,’ and that was my mom.”

Miley Cyrus Emotionally Explains How Dad Billy Ray Is 'Wildly Different'

Further in the interview, Miley gave insight into her relationship with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, whom Tish was married to from 1993 to 2022. (They share children Miley, Braison, 30, and Noah, 25. Billy Ray, 63, also adopted Tish’s two eldest children from a previous relationship, Brandi, 38, and Trace, 36, and is father to son Christopher, 33, whom he shares with Kristin Luckey.)

“As I’ve gotten older, I’m respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents — because my mom’s really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard. And so I think I took on some of my mom’s hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain,” she explained. “But now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness [with Elizabeth Hurley], too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing.”

She added: “I’m being an adult about it. At first it’s hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, ‘Yes, that’s your dad, but that’s just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.’ My child self has caught up.”

Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden’s Low-Key Relationship Timeline

Actors Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden generally keep their relationship on the private side, but have started to offer fans a look at their love via social media.

News of Ronan and Lowden’s romance broke in December 2018 when Page Six was the first to report they had become more than friends. A year later, Ronan replied “just no” when asked to address the speculation surrounding her romance with Lowden.

“Am I allowed to ask if you’re going out with the person that everyone thinks you’re going out with?” a reporter for The Telegraph asked in December 2019. Ronan said, “No,” putting an end to the discussion.

Lowden had already played coy in a separate interview that same year.

“Oh I’m not going to talk about that. I don’t like talking about that side of life,” he told ES Magazine in February 2019. “Most of the actors I know live pretty normal lives, it’s just every now and again they have to do something ridiculous or extraordinary. My life hasn’t changed. People seem more interested — I guess that’s changed, for sure.”

Ronan made various appearances on Lowden’s Instagram in 2022, but all of those images have since been deleted. She showed up in a social media snap once again in May 2023, but this time it appeared to just be the back of Ronan’s head. Since then, Lowden has started sharing images of her face.

Everything to Know About the Manzo Family Feud: Love, Divorce and a Hit Man

The Manzo family has a long history of drama that dates back to at least 2012 – and it’s full of tales of love, divorce and even the hiring of a hit man.

Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Dina Manzo married ex-husband Tommy, the brother of her sister Caroline’s husband Albert, in 2007. The pair separated in 2012 and divorced in 2016. Tommy is currently in jail after being found guilty of “hiring, then assisting, a soldier in the Lucchese Crime Family to assault” Dina’s second husband, David Cantin, in 2015.

The crime caused an understandable rift in the family — something that Caroline’s daughter Lauren recently said they avoid speaking about because of the impact it has on multiple branches of the family tree. However, Lauren was forced to address elements of the story after her cousin Lexi Ioannou told Gia Giudice that her stepfather, Tommy, allegedly forced her and her mom (Dina) to move out of their home after he was sent to prison.

Here’s a look at the long-running feud and how it’s impacted the Manzo family.

Dina Manzo's Daughter Speaks Out After Stepfather’s Conviction

Dina and Tommy married in 2007 and divorced in 2016

Dina and Tommy Manzo wed in 2007 when Dina’s daughter Lexi was 6. Lexi began writing about the dynamic in the family’s home in October 2024, when she blogged about Tommy allegedly kicking her and her mom out of the house on her Substack.

“Don’t poke the bear,’” Ioannu wrote via Instagram on October 23. “For the last decade I have stayed silent in fear of poking the bears in my life. With clarity I now can share this truth not only for myself, but for my mother, and for all of those who quietly endure their pain. My story is now available for you to read at the link in my bio.”

“For over a decade, I have kept silent in fear of poking Tommy Manzo, my stepfather of 15 years — a proven to be dangerous man, who won the loyalty of my blood family,” she continued. “I could write a novel as to what made Tommy such a complicated man to be raised by, but instead I’ll speak to how I came to fear a man who promised to keep me safe and what it feels like to lose the love of my extended family. Many of these family members were also figures I feared to confront, leaving me emotionally stranded.”

She also accused Tommy of being “an unavailable husband, a notorious cheater, and a workaholic.”

Lexi Ioannou accused Tommy Manzo of having a “weird obsession” with her

While speaking on Giudice’s podcast in May 2025, Ioannou said of Tommy, “He had this, this, like, weird obsession with me. For years, people would tell me that he kept my room exactly the same because he thought I was going to come back. I can’t even begin to understand why he would think I would ever come back there.”

Ioannou added that Tommy kept her belongings for a decade after he and her mom separated.

“He never had children of his own and I was the closest thing he had to it. So, he really loved me,” shecontinued. “He was never inappropriate, but he definitely was very affectionate. And that was something I was very uncomfortable with because neither of my parents are that way. To receive it from a stepfather is kind of, like, extra strange when you don’t receive it from your actual father.”

Tommy’s trial was a shock

Ioannou also spoke about Tommy Manzo’s trial.

“I went to the trial last year and I sat there for a week, and I listened to everybody testify,” she told Giudice. “My mom and I are so different like that. She couldn’t even stomach being there for, like, 30 minutes. I went every day, all day, for seven days. I needed to know everything. The word that came up a lot was obsessive. There was some kind of obsessive disorder going on there with the fact that he lost his ‘family’ — my mom and I — and he just lost control.”

Caroline defended Tommy at the trial

Dina and Caroline experienced their own disconnect after it was revealed during the trial that Caroline wrote a letter of defense in support of Tommy. Caroline’s son Albie later defended his mother’s decision off her written support..

“This is why I respect my mother so much. She made a choice that she knew going in was going to be extraordinarily unpopular — that could’ve been easily twisted into something that it isn’t — but she made it anyway because she felt it was the right thing to do,” Albie said on his “Dear Albie” podcast in June 2021.

“Put yourself in my mother’s shoes,” Albie continued. “Knowing full well this is going to happen, do you know how much you got to believe in what you’re doing, knowing this is going to be the blowback? That’s why I admire my mother and the courage she had, doing what she did. ”

Teresa Giudice Texted Dina Manzo After Ex-Husband Thomas’ Conviction

Tommy Manzo was sentenced to seven years in prison

The conclusion of the trial saw Tommy sentenced to seven years for his role in the attempted assault against Cantin. He was convicted by a jury on June 4, 2024, after a two-and-a-half week-long trial held in Newark. He was found guilty on one count of committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering, one count of conspiracy to commit a violent crime in aid of racketeering and one count of falsifying and concealing documents related to a federal investigation.

One day after Thomas was found guilty, Dina shared a social media photo of herself raising her hands up to the sky as the sun shone down on a large monument. When one of her followers commented on the image, “Light always wins!!!!! ✨✨✨✨✨,” Dina replied, “ALWAYS ✨.”

The Perfect Baggy Jeans For Petite Women Do Exist — And They’re Under $60 At Nordstrom Rack

Finding wide-leg or baggy jeans that don’t completely swallow you whole when you’re petite can be a struggle. Most pairs are either way too long, too boxy through the hips or just plain overwhelming. But the Levi’s 94 Mid Rise Baggy Wide Leg Jeans? Somehow, miraculously, they get it right.

These jeans are a dream for petite women who want that laid-back, ‘90s-inspired denim look without looking like they’re playing dress-up. Even better? They’re just $60 right now at Nordstrom Rack.

Get the Levi’s 94 Mid Rise Baggy Wide Leg Jeans for just $60 (originally $80) at Nordstrom Rack! 

These Under-$40 Barrel Jeans Are 'Short Girl Perfect'

Designed with a mid rise that hits right around the belly button, they give just enough shape without sacrificing the chill, wide-leg silhouette. One petite shopper raved, “I’m only 5’1 and a half and they are just perfect on me. They do hug all the perfect spots! I’m so in love with them.” That’s not a sentence you hear every day when it comes to baggy jeans and petites in the same breath.

What makes these work so well is the thoughtful design. The non-stretch denim holds its shape (so no sagging or stretching out midday). And while they are full-length, they don’t drag or pool excessively on shorter frames — a rare find when you’re under 5’4. One reviewer mentioned ordering the 24×31 and getting a spot-on fit at just over 5 feet tall, which feels almost too good to be true.

Even shoppers who aren’t petite have commented on the surprising versatility. “Love these jeans! They are light weight and super comfortable. I’m 5’5 and they are a perfect length!” says another reviewer. That means if you’re somewhere between short and average height, you’ve still got a strong chance of hitting that just-right, relaxed-but-still-put-together vibe.

So if you’ve been avoiding wide-leg jeans because they never seem to work on your frame, these might just be your denim redemption story. It turns out, the perfect baggy jeans for petites really do exist — and they’re majorly marked down!

Saoirse Ronan Is Pregnant, Expecting 1st Baby With Husband: Report

Saoirse Ronan and her husband, Jack Lowden, are reportedly expecting their first baby.

Ronan, 31, and Lowden, 34, were recently spotted taking a walk in London in photos published by the Daily Mail on Saturday, May 31. The Little Women actress appeared to dress what seemed to be a baby bump in a black bodysuit, which she accessorized with a cozy puffer jacket and a baseball cap. Lowden, for his part, wore a pair of black sweatpants and an Adidas hoodie.

Neither Ronan nor Lowden has publicly shared details about her reported pregnancy. The Irish Independent, meanwhile, confirmed the news via a source earlier in May. Us Weekly has reached out for comment.

The two actors have been together since 2018 after costarring in that year’s Mary Queen of Scots. 

Saoirse Ronan Talks Married Life With Jack Lowden After Secret Wedding

“It was remarkable working with Saoirse,” Lowden gushed during an AOL panel, promoting Mary Queen of Scots. “The woman is a force of nature on and off-screen, and utterly fearless and a brilliant leader as well. For being 24 years old, it’s just constantly amazing to me, not just her work, but how she is on a set is amazing.”

Ronan and Lowden tied the knot six years later in early 2024.

“I got married. I’m 30 now. I’m old,” Ronan quipped on a November 2024 broadcast of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “I’ve been desperate for myself and my husband Jack to do a cheesy karaoke duet,” she shared. “It’s ‘Shallow’ from A Star is Born. I want him to be my Bradley [Cooper], and I’ll be his [Lady] Gaga. And he won’t do it. He hasn’t committed. And I’m sort of like, well, what’s marriage for? You know what I mean? What are we doing here?”

While Lowden politely passed on a duet, they have shared the screen since their nuptials. He produced Ronan’s movie The Outrun, which came out late last year.

“He handed the book to me, and he said, ‘You have to play this,’” Ronan recalled to the Sunday Times in September 2024. “If you find people that you love and you trust creatively, why would you not want to keep working with them?”

According to Ronan, she and Lowden had “very high expectations for one another” on set.

“When I tried out Rona’s Orcadian accent on him for The Outrun, he said, ‘You’re not doing that, are you?’” she told the outlet. “[Jack] and I were trying to keep an eye on the representation of Rona, how nothing else matters to her except alcohol, but also remembering that she is human, so anyone can see themselves in her.”

The next month, Ronan gushed about her eventual parenthood dreams.

“I became successful when I was quite young,” Ronan told British Vogue in October 2024. “So it meant that, actually, by the time I found my partner, I’m now at the stage where if it happened, I would like to have a kid. I feel fortunate enough that if I step out of this for a minute, I’m hopefully not giving it up forever. But, yeah, I’ve always wanted that.”
