Beverley Mitchell Warned Justin Timberlake When He Was Dating Jessica Biel

Beverley Mitchell had a warning message for Justin Timberlake when he first started a relationship with Jessica Biel.

Mitchell, 44, recalled on the Monday, July 7, episode of the “Pod Meets World” podcast when she would run around with the NSYNC bandmates — including Timberlake, now 44, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass — and their bodyguards. Mitchell noted that she’s “still very good friends” with “all of them.”

“It’s very funny that one of them ended up marrying my best friend,” she said, referring to Biel, now 43, and Timberlake. “I give Jessie so much crap because she used to make fun of me. She’s like, ‘You’re just hanging out with the NSYNC boys again,’ and I’m like, ‘Dude, they’re fun, we have fun.’ And she used to think I was so silly and lame and I’m like, ‘Now you’re married to one.’”

When the pair began dating, Mitchell — who starred on 7th Heaven alongside Biel from 1996 to 2007 — said Timberlake’s mom asked her about his new love interest.

Jessica Biel Honors ‘Sometimes Devolving’ Marriage to Justin Timberlake

“‘OK, Bev, tell me about her,’” Mitchell recalled Lynn Bomar Harless asking. “And I was like, ‘If he hurts her, I’ll kill him.’ And she’s like, ‘OK, so you love her?’ And I’m like, ‘I do. She is my sister.’ Those were the good times.”

Timberlake and Biel began dating in 2007, tying the knot five years later. The couple welcomed sons Silas and Phineas in 2015 and 2020, respectively.

After Timberlake was arrested for driving while intoxicated, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that his marriage with Biel was tested — but now the pair are better than ever. (Timberlake was held in police custody in 2024 before being charged with a single count of DWI and two traffic violations. He was released on his own recognizance the next day. He appeared in court for the DWI case later that year, accepting a lesser charge of a traffic violation. He agreed to a plea deal that included 25 to 40 hours of community service with a nonprofit, a $500 fine and a public safety announcement.)

Jessica Biel Is Remaining ‘Firm’ With Justin Timberlake After DWI Drama

“Jessica and Justin are spending more time together and are happier and more relaxed,” the insider told Us later that year. “Justin has taken time to reevaluate his priorities. He hasn’t been going out as much and is staying in more with Jessica and the kids.”

The source shared that Timberlake is “finding new ways to connect” with his friends and family while Biel is being supportive, but holding him accountable as they “rebuild trust.”

“Jessica is showing patience and compassion while also maintaining firm expectations of him,” the insider noted, adding that the pair are “prioritizing their strength as a family.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs twins, D’Lila and Jessie, are adding the title of “designer” to their respective resumes.

The twins, 18, took to Instagram on Monday, June 7, to announce that they’re launching their own fashion brand.

“We are launching our very own clothing line,” the girls said while dancing together. “This line is more than just fashion. It’s personal to us,” Jessie explained.

D’Lila added, “Everyone always asks if we really think alike, and the answer is definitely. That connection is the heart of our brand.”

They went on to explain that the brand is named 12TWINTY1 because their birthday is December 21st, but also because “the number one symbolizes boldness, leadership and the start of something new.” They added, “and the number two represents love, harmony, connection and together, these numbers represent who we are.”

The twins, whom Diddy shared with his late ex Kim Porter, described their brand as “comfort” meeting “confidence.” (Porter died in 2018 of lobar pneumonia. She was 47.)

“This brand is for everyone,” D’Lila gushed, noting that it includes everyday pieces that “look good, feel good and mean something.”

When fans checked out the brand’s official Instagram account, they were met with a promotional photo encouraging users to sign up on their website to be alerted for new drops and more info. At the time of publication, no imagery showcasing what the line has to offer has been released.

The twins’ announcement comes days after Diddy, 55, was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution during his federal trial. Diddy, who pleaded not guilty to all charges and allegations, was acquitted on one charge of racketeering conspiracy and two charges of sex trafficking.

Diddy’s sentencing date is set for October 3. Each of his guilty charges carries a maximum amount of 10 years in prison, however his attorneys are seeking a sentencing of 21 to 27 months in prison, which would include the time he served from his September 2024 arrest.. Prosecutors are seeking a sentencing of 51 to 63 months.

Diddy and Porter shared Quincy, 34, — who Diddy adopted — and Christian “King,” 27. Diddy is also the dad of Justin, 31, whom he shares with Misa Hylton, daughter Chance, 18, whom he shares with Sarah Chapman, and Love, 2, whom he shares with Dana Tran.

Olympian Cleared of Doping After Positive Test Came From Kissing Boyfriend

An Olympian’s doping suspension has been thrown out after it was deemed the silver medalist tested positive for a banned substance after kissing her boyfriend. 

French fencer Ysaora Thibus, who won a silver medal in team foil at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, had been given a four-year suspension after testing positive for ostarine, a prohibited muscle-building substance, in January 2024.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed the suspension on Monday, July 7, finding “that it is scientifically established that the intake of an ostarine dose similar to the dose ingested by Ms Thibus’ then partner would have left sufficient amounts of ostarine in the saliva to contaminate a person through kissing.”

Thibus’ then-boyfriend, United States fencer Race Imboden, was taking ostarine at the time of the positive drug test. 

All the Highs and Lows from the Wild 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris

The presence of ostarine in Thibus’ test was ruled “not intentional,” and CAS ruled she “bears no fault or negligence.”

CAS dismissed an appeal from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which was seeking a four-year suspension.

Thibus was still able to compete at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris after the International Fencing Federation’s doping disciplinary tribunal (DDT) found her not liable, where she finished fifth in the team foil event. 

She and Imboden, who was inducted into the U.S. Fencing Hall of Fame last month, have not been pictured together since last year. 

Thibus reflected on her unique Olympic journey in a social media post after the Summer Games in her home country. 

“This year, I have shown immense courage and unwavering perseverance!” she wrote in September 2024 alongside a picture of herself standing in front of the ​​Arc de Triomphe. “I have had to fight against injustice, injury, and time!! 👏🏽🥹.”

USA Olympian Yared Nuguse Publicly Comes Out, Hard-Launches Relationship

Thibus recognized those who “believed in me, in my truth, and who never stopped supporting me.”

In particular, Thibus thanked members of the French national fencing team for their faith in her story. 

“I can never thank you enough,” she wrote. “You made the courageous choice to keep me on the team, when everything seemed uncertain just days before the competition. This gesture is the greatest recognition of my career. You proved to me that, in this world of performance, there is also room for humanity.”

Thibus added, “Life is full of uncertainties, but I will never stop aiming high. Hard work, resilience, and hope have brought me to where I am. I am convinced that I still have many beautiful pages to write, in sport and beyond!✨🪐

Kyra Sedgwick Shares Silly Video With Kevin Bacon for His Birthday

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have been married for more than 30 years — and appear to be more in love than ever.

The twosome first crossed paths when Bacon, who is seven years older than Sedgwick, was doing a play in the ‘70s.

“A little girl was in there who had just seen the matinee, and her brother said, ‘You liked that actor, go tell him you liked him,’ and it was Kyra,” he recalled on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in 2014. “She was a little girl, yeah, she was 12 years old.”

A decade later, the pair worked together in 1987 on the PBS film Lemon Sky.

“He definitely wasn’t my type,” Sedgwick told Redbook in 2008. “In fact, I vividly remember looking at his butt when he walked away after we first met and thinking, ‘Well, I guess some girls like that.’”

She clearly had a change of heart, marrying the Footloose star on September 4, 1988. The next year, Sedgwick and Bacon expanded their family, welcoming son Travis. Daughter Sosie, who has since become an actress herself, followed in 1992.

“I proposed to my wife on Christmas Eve and I put the ring in the toe of the stocking,” Bacon recalled to PopEater. “Shockingly, she said yes!”

The duo became parents in 1989 when son Travis was born.
"The minute I had a child I was like, ‘God, I want to make sure there’s a good place here for him,’” Sedgwick told Glamour in 2019. "[Kevin and I] are both people who are spurred into action, and we like to be part of giving back. It's our responsibility."

“We've been married for so long and there are no secrets. But I never in a million years thought there would be sides to Kevin that I'm still learning,” Sedgwick told Redbook in 2008. “[Our relationship] is like a treasure; there are layers and layers of it. I'm constantly amazed that we are still surprised and interested in each other. When I look back at our first four years ... by that time we'd had our second kid, and I look back at those pictures and I think, ‘Gosh, I didn't know him at all!’ I loved him, but I didn't know him, and he probably didn't know me. But you grow together and learn more about each other. I think the trust gets deeper and the dependency gets deeper, which is scary. I think, because my father and mother split up when I was very young, there was a part of me at the beginning of our marriage that thought, ‘I’m cool alone. I love him, but I'm strong enough to handle life without him.’ But now he is the person I count on to live and walk through life with. It's a dependency that is there and large and real and profound.”

“I found her very beautiful and sexy and aloof and I was just immediately in love with her and she was immediately put off by me,” Bacon said on CNN in 2011, confirming he knew she was The One right away.
When the network played the clip for Sedgwick in 2012, the actress got emotional.

Sedgwick directed Bacon in the 2017 movie Story of a Girl.
“For years I encouraged Kyra to direct, because I really thought she’d be great at it and would enjoy it,” he told Glamour. “But directing is a big step to take because you go, ‘Oh, can I really stand there and tell all these people what to do?’ So I just kept saying to her, ‘I know you can do this.’ I knew she could do it because when she would visit my sets, she'd always be so close to blurting out some kind of direction or suggestion. Also, in the way that she would analyze the films and television shows she would watch. She’s incredibly opinionated about the way things are shot, the music, the casting, all of that. So when this book that she’d been developing [for film], Story of a Girl, came along, she was in this meeting and said, ‘’ll direct it.’ From the first time, she made that commitment, and they said, ‘OK, sure.’ I’ve never seen her in work situations to be as happy as she is when she's directing. She just absolutely loves it, and she's great at it.”

“30 years (yesterday),” Sedgwick captioned a photo with Bacon in September 2018 via Instagram. “Lucky Lady.”

“Her partnership is invaluable,” Bacon gushed ahead of their 32nd wedding anniversary in 2020. “I found someone I was meant to be with.”

“I’m incredibly lucky,” the Closer actress told Access Hollywood about her marriage in January. “There’s no secrets to this. I just got lucky really young at a time when I probably wasn’t that smart. I was married at 23 and I met him when I was 21. I was like, ‘This is The One, and I’ve got no question.’”

During a March appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Bacon revealed that he gave his wife an at-home bikini wax — to disastrous results.
“I’m one of those people that is cocky enough to think that I can probably do anything. You know what I mean?” the Footloose star explained. “I thought, ‘How hard could this be? I can put stuff together from IKEA. This is not going to be that hard.’”
Bacon admitted that he learned very quickly that it should only be done by "trained professionals."
"It can get really, really, frighteningly dangerous," he added. "She was a little bit mad at me, but you know what, it was OK. I gave it the old college try.”
Two months prior, Sedgwick also spoke to Jimmy Kimmel about the the “agonizing” experience.
“There were moments where I was like, ‘I thought you knew how to do this!’ And he was like, ‘I didn’t say I knew how to do this. You said I knew how to do this!' And I was like, ‘But you’re good at everything!’ And he was like, ‘Well, I’m not good at this,’” she recalled at the time.

“Happy #ValentinesDay to The One,” Bacon wrote via Twitter alongside a throwback photo of the couple in honor of Valentine’s Day in February. “Truth is, it’s more of a 365 kind of thing. @kyrasedgwick.”

Bacon and Sedgwick proved they still got it by performing the viral "Footloose Drop" dance trend on social media — and nailing it.
"I don’t remember this being part of the original #Footloose choreography 🤣 but figured we’d give it a spin," the Friday the 13th actor captioned his Instagram video, which shows him and his wife busting out the difficult dance move — in which Bacon "unfurled" Sedgwick's outstretched body just inches from the floor — and high-fiving each other for succeeding.

“I usually try to buy @kyrasedgwickofficial the flowers, but looks like she’s got that covered. Thanks @mileycyrus 💐,” Bacon captioned a February Instagram video with his wife as they duetted Cyrus’ “Flowers” single.

Ahead of celebrating his 35th anniversary with Sedgwick in March, the City on a Hall star reluctantly shared some advice on how to have a long-lasting marriage while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
"If I was to give some advice, I would say the one thing you don't want to do is take a celebrity's advice on how to stay married," he joked, with Kimmel noting, "It's kind of a cop out, but it's good.”

“[Kevin] was asked to play a dancing, singing M&M, [like] the candy. I have a thing with moving, talking food. I have a serious issue with this,” Sedgwick confessed during a joint appearance on the Late Late Show With James Corden, noting she asked her spouse to turn down the role. “It makes me sick to my stomach when I see commercials where, like, the Oreo slides down the cream slide, just the cookie part or any anthropomorphizing of food.”

The pair commemorated their 35th wedding anniversary with Instagram posts featuring throwback photos. “It was 1987 — on the set of Lemon Sky — I met a man named Kevin,” Sedgwick wrote. “Happy 35 my love.” In his own post, Bacon wrote that “35 years feels like a heartbeat.”

“This is a blurry Polaroid of where it all started, (on set shooting Lemon Sky in 1987),” Sedgwick wrote via Instagram on Valentine’s Day, sharing a pic of the pair in lawn chairs between takes. “And it’s been clear ever since…Love you forever.”

In honor of Bacon’s 67th birthday, Sedgwick posted a silly Instagram Reel of the pair lip syncing to Ace Hood’s song “Bugatti.”
“Told Kevin I had a surprise for his birthday … don’t think this is what he had in mind 🚗 😂,” she captioned the clip. “Happy Birthday @kevinbacon, thanks for being my forever partner in crime!”

How Candace Cameron Bure and Her Husband 'Stick Through' Challenges

Candace Cameron Bure is not afraid to keep it real when discussing the highs and lows of married life.

Before revealing on her own podcast that she previously went through a “rough season” with husband Valeri Bure, the Fuller House alum opened up to Us Weekly about overcoming challenges in her relationship.

“Communication’s the biggest one,” Cameron Bure, 49, exclusively shared with Us in November 2024. “And it’s trying to have honesty within the communication, but still be truthful in a loving way because truth hurts sometimes, but your spouse really should be there to help refine you.”

The actress argued that being open and honest with your partner is so important – even if the truth hurts.

Candace Cameron Bure's Best Quotes About Her Marriage to Valeri Bure

“Sometimes, you just gotta stick through it and it just stinks for a season, but you’re like, ‘We can do this, we can do this,’ and that’s what we’ve managed to do,” she continued. “We have a lot of laughs and we have a lot of love for each other, and we genuinely enjoy being around each other.”

Cameron Bure and Bure, 51, tied the knot in 1996 and later welcomed three children: Natasha, 26, Lev, 25, and Maksim, 23.

Even as her kids get older, Cameron Bure remains strong in her belief that quality family time is important.

“I’m a workhorse. I love my work. I love what I do, and I do travel a lot,” she told Us. “But the pandemic really shifted a lot of that for our family. Once we were at home together for so long, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m missing out on more than I realize and my family’s so important to me.’ That’s really shifted and changed and it truly is a priority.”

During the Tuesday, July 8, episode of the “Candace Cameron Bure” podcast, the former Full House star invited Lev onto the show to discuss family milestones.

At one point in the episode, she revealed it was Lev who helped strengthen her marriage to Bure. The confession left Lev emotional.

“Even when my siblings and I talked about it, it was like, ‘Man, we want more than anything for our parents to be together.’ But, let’s get to the matter of fact, it’s only going to happen through Jesus,” Lev said during the episode. “That was all we could point them to. You had me emotional over here.”

Before they started to discuss other topics, Lev thanked his mom for opening up about the rough patch.

“We raised some pretty good kids,” Cameron Bure added when reflecting on her relationship with Bure.

Country Star Pat Green’s Brother and Family Are Missing in Texas Floods

Country singer Pat Green and his family have been personally affected by the deadly Texas floods.

“Over the weekend, during the devastating flooding that hit Central Texas, my family — like so many others — suffered a heartbreaking and deeply personal loss,” Green wrote in a statement shared via Instagram on Monday, July 7. “We are grieving alongside countless Texans whose lives have been upended by this tragedy.”

Green added that he and his family are asking for privacy as they “mourn, support each other and begin to process what comes next for our family.”

“Thank you for your love, prayers and compassion,” the statement concluded.

Celebrities React to Devastating Texas Floods: Jenna Bush Hager and More

Pat is a country artist best known for his song “Wave on Wave.” He released his first album Three Days in 2001 and dropped his latest record Miles and Miles of You in 2022. Throughout his career, he’s received three Grammy nominations. Pat’s wife, Kori Green, reshared the statement on her page and added some context to the tragedy.

“Pat’s little brother John, his wife, Julia, and two of their children were swept away in the Kerrville flood,” Kori captioned the post. “We are heartbroken and anxiously waiting for all of them to be found. Thank you for your prayers💗.”

Kerrville is located around 270 miles from Fort Worth. The floods started on Friday, July 4, when water swept through Texas Hill County. As a result, the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in just 45 minutes. A state of emergency was ordered on Sunday, July 6.

More than 100 people have been confirmed dead as of Tuesday, per the New York Times. Search and rescues are still going on.

Among the confirmed dead are at least 28 children who were attending Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp, at the time of the flooding. One of the victims in the Camp Mystic flood was Janie Hunt, a relative of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt. Clark’s wife, Tavia Hunt, spoke out via her Instagram Story about the loss of their young cousin.

“Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives — including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend’s little girls,” Tavia, 53, wrote on Sunday.

Hours before learning that they were personally affected by the floods, the Hunt family donated to the tragedy’s relief effort.

“Our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastation and loss of life caused by the floods in Kerr County and Texas Hill County, especially for the young girls and their families, as well as all of those lost and their loved ones,” Tavia wrote via her Instagram Story. “We hold everyone impacted in our thoughts and prayers. Standing side by side with The Salvation Army’s critical response, we are also donating $500,000 to provide immediate resources for rescue, relief and long term recovery efforts.”

I’m a Beauty Writer: These 33% Off Teeth Whitening Strips Are the Only Ones I Trust

I was a late bloomer when it came to coffee. While my friends and colleagues relied on the caffeine kick to make it through the work day, I staved off any desire to drink it until about a year ago at the ripe age of 27. Coffee has now become a little treat for myself, but along with the jolt of energy came the annoying and unsightly teeth staining.

In an effort to restore the pearliness of my pearly whites, I tested almost a dozen whitening strips. Nothing compared to the Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips. And you better believe I’m stocking up while they’re 33% off for Prime day.

My teeth aren’t necessarily sensitive, but I do have receding gums which causes some sensitivity. These teeth whitening strips are the only ones that don’t cause any pain or discomfort. This is probably because instead of utilizing peroxide — which can be pretty harsh on teeth — these dentist-developed strips incorporate natural botanicals, like coconut oil, dead sea salt, sage oil and lemon peel oil to gently lift stains caused by coffee, red wine and every day wear and tear.

I’m also pretty impatient. I’m the kind of person that wants to see results immediately, and I can see an instantaneous difference after one whitening treatment. My teeth started to sparkle after one 30 minute session, and by the time I used all the strips a week later, my smile was so blinding that friends asked if I’d gotten them professionally whitened.

Madison LeCroy’s $30 Jawline-Tightening Face Mask — And More Amazon Deals to Shop This Weekend

I’m not surprised that over 34,000 Amazon shoppers share the same sentiment. Those with extra sensitive teeth seem to be the happiest with their results. “These are the only whitening strips I’ve used that don’t cause any sensitivity at all. No zaps of pain, no lingering discomfort…just gradual, gentle whitening,” one reviewer writes.

“The strips are soft and flexible, so they’re easy to apply and comfortable to wear,” they continue. “After using these consistently, I’ve noticed my teeth look brighter and more even-toned without that too-white, artificial look. It’s a really natural result, and I can keep using them without worrying about sensitivity flaring up.”

The teeth whitener strips are currently 33% off for Amazon’s big sale, and I have no doubt these will sell out. While you’re stocking up, I also recommend checking out Lumineux’s other gentle whitening products, like toothpaste and even mouthwash. My smile has never been brighter, and I’m sure you’ll experience the same.

Diddy's Sentencing Date Revealed After Post-Trial Hearing

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sentencing date has been finalized days after a verdict was reached.

During a remote hearing on Tuesday, July 8, Judge Arun Subramanian agreed to a proposal from both prosecutors and Diddy’s legal team to have the rap mogul’s sentencing date remain on October 3, the BBC reported.

“The parties have met and conferred and have agreed to the following schedules for sentencing,” a court document viewed by Us Weekly stated.

The update in the case comes less than one week after a jury found Diddy, 55, guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution on Wednesday, July 2. He was acquitted on the additional charges of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking. (Prior to the trial, Diddy pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.)

A Complete Timeline of Allegations and Verdict in the Diddy Trial

Later on Wednesday, the judge scheduled Diddy’s sentencing date for October 3, though his defense team requested that the hearing be expedited. While each charge he was convicted of carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, Diddy’s attorneys are seeking a prison sentence of 21 to 27 months, and prosecutors have asked for a sentence of 51 to 63 months behind bars. He will receive credit for the time he has served since his September 2024 arrest.

Although Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo advocated for his immediate release from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, after the verdict, Subramanian denied the request for bail, ordering Diddy to remain in custody until his sentencing.

During a press conference held outside of the court after Diddy’s partial acquittal, his defense team maintained his innocence.

“Sean Combs has not sexually assaulted anybody, I’ve been saying this for months,” his attorney Teny Geragos said. “We’ve said this with each lawsuit that came out, and today that was proven true.”

Diddy Trial Ends With Partial Guilty Verdict: Daily Updates

The press conference concluded with remarks from Agnifilo.

“Today’s a great victory,” he said. “It’s a great victory for Sean Combs, it’s a great victory for the jury system.”

Agnifilo added, “We are not nearly done fighting. We are just getting started.”

Everything We Know About the Diddy Jury Who Decided the Rapper’s Verdict

Following the verdict, Mark Chutkow, a former federal prosecutor not affiliated with Diddy’s case, spoke to Us Weekly about his potential sentence.

“The prostitution charges were the least serious of the counts in the indictment,” he said. “While each has a 10-year statutory maximum, which could be imposed consecutively for a possible 20-year sentence, it is unlikely that the court would impose such a high sentence given the acquittal on the more serious charges. When imposing a sentence, the court will consider the fact that the prostitution charges did not involve a criminal enterprise nor allegations of force, fraud or coercion.”

LeAnn Rimes Opens Up About Her Dental Issues From Veneers: ‘It Was Awful’

LeAnn Rimes is getting candid about her teeth problems throughout the years — which started when she got veneers as a teenager.

In a July cover story with Flow Space published on Monday, July 7, Rimes, 42, shared that she had to get her dental veneers redone by a dentist who didn’t bond them right, which led to multiple root canals and oral surgeries.

“I look at my pictures from that time, and my face was so different — it was just so swollen,” the “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” singer told the outlet. “Oh, it was awful. I was in chronic pain for, like, two-and-a-half years.”

Less than one month ago, Rimes was in the middle of a performance when her teeth fell out of her mouth on stage.

Dental Experts Talk Aimee Lou Wood, Veneers and the ‘Hollywood Smile’

“So last night, I was on stage in the middle of ‘One Way Ticket,’ [and] I feel something pop in my mouth,” she shared via Instagram in June. “And if you’ve been around, you know I’ve had a lot of dental surgeries, and I have a bridge in the front. It fell out in the middle of my song last night.”

Rimes admitted that she “panicked” and told the audience to “hold on” before running to the side of the stage and putting her teeth back into her mouth.

“I just had to get real with everybody and tell them exactly what was happening, or else I would have had to walk off stage,” she shared, noting that for the rest of the show she had to keep pushing her teeth back into place “every couple of lines,” but it ended up being “the most epic experience ever.”

The singer revealed she doesn’t “usually have firsts” in her career, but that incident was “a first and hopefully a last.”

“In case anybody has an issue on stage ever and feels embarrassed by it, just watch this video again and it will remind you that the show can go on in the midst of sheer, utter embarrassment,” she said.

LeAnn Rimes Is Us Weekly’s Woman Crush: 5 Reasons Why

Aside from her dental issues, Rimes has also faced some other serious health issues, including undergoing surgery after finding precancerous cells in her cervix from a regular Pap smear.

“I consulted with my doctor and we jointly decided that a LEEP procedure would be in my best interest in order to remove the high grade, abnormal, pre-cancerous cells,” Rimes said in an Instagram post in January 2024, later emphasizing the importance of getting an annual physical because “early detection can be lifesaving.”

Rimes later shared that her decision to share information about the surgery came because she feels no one talks about it.

“[It’s] something so many women feel so much shame around,” she told Flow Space on Monday.

What Is OnlyFans? Answering Burning Questions

While OnlyFans offers users more than just NSFW services, the subscription-based platform has established itself as a place for fans to interact with celebrities and adult content creators.

Australian star Annie Knight exclusively told Us Weekly she began making content for OnlyFans in 2022, earning about $10,000 per month. Since then, she has only seen her monthly income soar.

In May 2025, Knight revealed that she slept with 583 men in six hours — a pace that was on track to beat Bonnie Blue’s 1,057 men in 12 hours. (Fellow creator Lily Phillips has since alleged to top that feat, having sex with 1,113 men in 12 hours.)

After Knight tried her hand at the “competitive sex” trend, she told Us that she’s seen a significant increase in her fanbase and, therefore, her finances — meaning, she makes about $600,000 per month. “My earnings have tripled since doing the event,” Knight told Us in June 2025, one month after her challenge. “It’s been pretty amazing.”

But what even is OnlyFans? Scroll down to learn more about the platform:

What Is OnlyFans?

British businessman Tim Stokely launched the platform in November 2016, allowing adult influencers and sex workers to monetize their content with fans directly. Leo Radvinsky, who founded adult streaming website MyFreeCams in 2004, bought OnlyFans in 2018 and is currently asking for as much as $8 billion for the platform, The Wall Street Journal reports. Today, more than 4 million creators are catering to 400 million worldwide users.

How Much Can
Creators Make?

Racking up more than $1 million on OnlyFans is something 4,500-plus creators can put on their résumé. Content creator Sophie Rain, 20, claimed on X that she made more than $43 million in 2024, making her a top earner. The platform gets 20 percent of stars’ earnings.

What Type of Content Is Allowed?

OnlyFans permits creators to communicate with subscribers, share intimate videos and more — but some acts are completely off-limits (think: sexual assault, whether actual or role played, hateful content and violence). A spokesperson tells Us that “extreme ‘challenge’ content” is not permitted under the Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service: “Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation.”

Remi Bader Shows Off a Cheeky Thong Bikini After Weight Loss Surgery

Remi Bader showed off her bikini body.

Bader, 30, took to Instagram on Monday, July 7, to show off her figure after undergoing weight loss surgery in December 2023. In the snap, she rocked a gingham bikini by For Love and Lemons while promoting her mini fan, which launched on Tuesday, July 8.

Her blue-and-white set was complete with a triangle top that tied in bows on her shoulders and behind her back with delicate florals attached. She teamed the delicate design with coordinating bottoms, which also tied in bows on her hips and was finished with a thong back.

In a separate snap, the TikTok influencer dressed up her look with a matching gingham blouse, which she wore unbuttoned. She added a pop of color to her ensemble with cherry red nails.

Remi Bader Cleans Out Her Closet After Surgery: ‘Denial About My Size’

While sitting poolside, Bader wore her brunette hair down and in beachy waves.

Bader’s influencer fans were quick to compliment her in the comments section. “Okayyyyyy girl I see you!!!” Elyse Myers wrote, as Danielle Pheloung added, “Damnnn. I’m a fan of that fan.” Alix Earle gushed, “Okurrrrrr,” while Avery Woods praised, “Omfg 🤤🤤🤤.”

After denying allegations she was using Ozempic to lose weight, Bader opened up about getting a single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) surgery, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, creates “less time and distance for the body to absorb fat and calories.”

Bader called the recovery process “brutal” while chatting with Self in March. “You cannot drink and eat within the same 30 minutes. Sometimes I’m out to dinner with friends, and I run to the bathroom,” she explained. “It’s also hard; I’m going to these events and dinners, and I’m constantly getting sick.”

Bader also opened up about her new size, sharing, “I’m still uncomfortable. I’ve never looked like this. I’ve never felt this way. I’ve never been this size.” She continued, “So when people comment now, ‘Tiny, skinny. Oh my God, your legs, your arms, this, this,’ that’s really triggering for me.”

Country Star Sam Hunt's Rare Quotes About Fatherhood

Sam Hunt is the proud father of three kids with wife Hannah Lee Fowler — and he can’t stop gushing about his little ones.

The pair dated on and off for nearly a decade before tying the knot in April 2017. Nearly five years later, Fowler revealed in divorce docs that she was pregnant with her and Hunt’s first baby. Fowler dismissed the divorce filing in April 2022, one month before she and Hunt welcomed their daughter, Lucy.

“I recently had a baby girl named Lucy Lu. I think being out here — and in the music business and being out on the road — has sort of hardened my heart,” Hunt told fans during a June 2022 show in Nashville. “My heart’s definitely a lot harder in a lotta ways since I left that small town. It’s amazing how that little girl melted that all away overnight a couple of weeks ago.”

Hunt and Fowler have since welcomed sons Lowry Lee and Weyman Allen in November 2023 and May 2025, respectively.

Scroll down for more of Hunt’s rare insights about fatherhood:

The pair kept Fowler's pregnancy largely under wraps, but Hunt revealed while cohosting "Country Countdown USA" that they were expecting a daughter. "I blocked out two months at the end of May and early June," he said. "Really this year revolves around that big news in my life. ... Over the last four to five years, I've had a lot of buddies who've had their first kids. So I feel [like] I'm ready for it."

While performing at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the songwriter announced that Fowler gave birth weeks prior. "I think being out here — and in the music business and being out on the road — has sort of hardened my heart," he told the audience. "My heart's definitely a lot harder in a lotta ways since I left that small town. It's amazing how that little girl melted that all away overnight a couple of weeks ago."

"[Fatherhood] has given me such a sense of purpose — at home and out on the road. A new appreciation for life in general. I think I leveled up overnight, evolved 10 or 20 years overnight," Hunt reflected during an interview on the "Kate and Company" podcast, adding that he'd been "hanging out with my new baby girl as much as possible."

Hunt gushed over his baby girl's milestones ahead of the 2022 CMA Awards. "She's coming to life, she's starting to smile bigger and recognize me," he told Audacy's Katie Neal. "She's been smiling, I've been counting. I've gotten her to smile as soon as she sees me 21 times in a row. I'm assuming that means she likes me!"

“There were years there where, you know, maybe I didn’t realize how much growing up I had needed to do,” Hunt told ET Canada. “And having a child forces you to do that. It shifts something in your nervous system. There’s a skin that I needed to shed, and I did that when I had my child.”
The musician noted that becoming a father “woke me up out of this, I wouldn’t say I was sleepwalking, but I had definitely gotten into a routine after years of doing the same thing over and over.” He added, “I was just at a place in my life where I really needed that, and I’m grateful for it and I feel like I leveled up in a lot of ways.”

“It’s about to get real,” Hunt quipped during an appearance on Audacy’s “Katie & Company” podcast, revealing that his wife was pregnant with their third baby. “I’m elated. I can’t wait.”
As he prepared to be a father of three, Hunt said he is hoping to “take a break” from touring in the next few years to focus on family.
“The crowds have been so great and I want to get out there and tour while my kids are young and they’re able to come with me, they’re not in school and I’m not gonna miss too much yet at home,” he said. “And while people are interested in hearing us play, I don’t want to take that for granted.”

After welcoming his third child, son Weyman, that May, Hunt opened up about how Fowler and the kids were doing. "They're good," he told Taste of Country. "A little sleep deprived. Our most recent child got here in May, so he's finally starting to sleep a little better."
The country crooner confessed, "We got spoiled with the first two — they were fairly easy — but Weyman, my third one, Weyman's his name, he likes to beat to his own drum, I guess you could say.”

Erika Jayne’s Divorce From Tom Girardi at Risk of Being Dismissed After 4 Years

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne’s never-ending divorce from Tom Girardi, who was sentenced to seven years in prison last month, is at risk of being thrown out of court, Us Weekly can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by Us, a hearing was held in the case on June 26 in Los Angeles Superior Court. The Bravo star’s lawyer was present but there was no appearance by a representative for Girardi. The judge set a hearing for August 1 for the parties to explain why no judgment has been entered.

Jayne filed for divorce from Girardi, a once-prominent L.A. attorney, in November 2020 after 21 years of marriage.

Back in April, one of Jayne’s lawyers Jim Wilkes spoke to The Sun about the pending divorce. He said, “I don’t think that the divorce will go anywhere. He’s not competent to defend it.”

Erika Jayne's Ex Tom Girardi Indicted for Embezzling $15 Million

Girardi was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in March 2021. His family placed him under a conservatorship around the same time. Girardi was moved into a senior assisted living facility in August 2021.

“I don’t know that you could have a divorce in these circumstances,” Wilkes said. He claimed Jayne may have to wait until Girardi’s death to make it official.

Us reached out to Jayne’s divorce attorney for comment on their next steps.

When Will Tom Girardi Report to Prison? What to Know After His Sentencing

As Us previously reported, Jayne’s divorce came as Girardi was facing several lawsuits over alleged debts. His law firm was forced into involuntary bankruptcy. Court documents showed his firm owed tens of millions to creditors.

Various former clients accused him of winning them a large financial settlement but then failing to pay them in full.

Last month, Girardi was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison after being found guilty of wire fraud and embezzlement. Prosecutors claim that between 2010 to 2020 Girardi and associates ran the law firm like a Ponzi-scheme.

In court, the prosecutors said Girardi embezzled over $15 million over the time period.

The prosecutors claimed Girardi used his clients’ settlement proceeds to pay bills, including bills of Jayne’s company EJ Global.

Jayne was sued as part of Girardi’s bankruptcy. The trustee presiding over Girardi’s law firm’s bankruptcy demanded the RHOBH star return millions.

Jayne argued she had no reason to believe her husband was doing anything wrong. She asked that the lawsuit be dismissed.

As part of the case, Girardi’s lawyers claimed he was not competent and did not believe he should have to endure a trial. The judge was not deterred, and the trial started on August 5, 2024.

After his sentencing, Jayne revealed on her podcast that she found out the news while in London, where she is working.

“And then 10 minutes before the second show, I get the news that Tom is being sent to prison … It just hurts. It reopens old healing wounds,” Jayne said. “And it is something that, you know, I had a sold-out crowd in a theater just for me, and I was so grateful. My happiest place in the whole world to be is on stage.”

Candace Cameron Bure's Best Quotes About Her Marriage to Valeri Bure

All thanks to Uncle Joey! Candace Cameron Bure and husband Valeri Bure have been married for more than 20 years — and still like packing on the PDA.

The Full House star was introduced to the hockey player through her costar Dave Coulier while filming the ’90s sitcom. After less than a year of dating, Bure proposed. The twosome wed in 1996.

“He makes me laugh a lot, which is a very good quality,” she gushed to Us Weekly exclusively in 2019. “He’s just such a bold person. We always have interesting conversations. I love his passion and his strength so very much. He’s so supportive of me and our children.”

The couple share daughter Natasha (born 1998) and sons Lev (2000) and Maksim (2002).

My kids are young adults and teenagers and I’m OK in their eyes,” Cameron Bure told Us. “They don’t mind hanging out with me. I don’t care if I’m cool in their eyes, but the fact that they actually enjoy hanging out and want to be my friend is, like, the biggest win for me ever.”

While Cameron Bure often gushes about her man, she isn’t afraid to admit that they’ve hit rough patches.

“Marriage is a wonderful, beautiful thing but there’s always going to be tough times,” she told Us in 2018. “There’s no one that has this amazingly perfect marriage. … You just hang in there and stick with it.”

The actress added at the time that her business schedule helps keep the spark alive. “Because I travel a lot, that’s the secret!” she told Us. “Because, you know, being away from each other makes the heart grow fonder.”

“[Lori Loughlin and I] were looking at these two cute men on the ice, and I was like, ‘I wanna meet that one, the blonde one,’ which was Val,” she recalled in 2014 of seeing Bure for the first time. “We went on a date the very next day, and in less than a year we were engaged.”

"My husband is a natural-born leader. I quickly learned that I had to find a way of honoring his take-charge personality and not get frustrated about his desire to have the final decision on just about everything,” Cameron Bure wrote in her 2013 book Balancing It All. “I am not a passive person, but I chose to fall into a more submissive role in our relationship because I wanted to do everything in my power to make my marriage and family work."

"The definition I'm using with the word submissive is the biblical definition of that,” the actress said on HuffPost Live in 2014 after backlash over her admission. "So, it is meekness, it is not weakness. It is strength under control, it is bridled strength. And that's what I choose to have in my marriage."

“[We have] sex any time of the day, even if the kids are home. We just make sure our kids can’t pick the lock on our bedroom door!” Cameron Bure quipped in 2014 before revealing her secret to a happy marriage. “Love, respect, communication and keeping a healthy and active interest in your spouse’s passions. We all grow and evolve. It’s important to make sure you do that together.”

“Let’s be real for a second. We are celebrating 20 years of marriage today. 22 years together as a couple,” she wrote on Facebook in 2016. “I couldn’t be more proud to be here and love my man the way I do. But let me assure you it hasn’t been all roses the whole journey. There have been several tough years, in a row, ups and downs, bad attitudes and bad decisions, but we’ve persevered. We rode them out. We loved each other through them. We kept the focus; God’s glory. We are both better for it. I’m so grateful and thankful for the man I married. Neither of us are perfect, far from it, and will continue to make mistakes because we are human. But God’s Word and His grace see us through- striving to be the best of ourselves in Him. To God be the glory. Thank you for an awesome 20 years together. I pray for another 60. Amen.”

“I always say, put your spouse on a pedestal,” she told Us in 2018. “And in return, you’re hoping, which my husband does, we have the same respect for one another other … and some days neither of us deserve it, but we do it because we honor one another and respect each other. You hang in there, you’re always going to come back on the upswing if you’re in a low spot.”

“My parents have been such a role model for me in my own marriage. You know, you see the ups and downs,” Cameron Bure told Us exclusively in 2019 of her parents, Barbara and Robert Cameron. “I’ve seen [their marriage go] through the tough times and when you see people that are committed to each other to stick through those tough times and be willing to grow and learn and not walk away because that could be the easier choice, I mean, it’s incredibly inspirational.”

The Fuller House star defended her decision to post a photo of Bure with his hand on her breast in 2020.
“I like PDA if it's done tastefully. I like to be affectionate publicly with my husband, with my children, like whoever that is, and I think that's part of why we are such a close family,” she said on Fox News at the time. “And after 24 years of marriage, I mean, you hear more about people saying, 'Ah, you've been married. Ah, you stopped having sex. Oh, it's so boring.' And I'm like, 'No, but it doesn't have to be that way.' So the fact that I'm still having fun and it's spicy and it's sexy and we have a good time, I mean, that's a huge part of why we're still married."

Cameron Bure revealed in 2020 that the quarantine caused by the coronavirus pandemic strengthened her marriage.
“It totally tested us but in the best of ways,” she exclusively told Us. “I'll be honest because we try. We both travel so much. And so we were like, ‘This might be the most amount of time we've actually spent together in years. This is either going to make us or break us.’ And you know what? It’s made us.”
The pair used the opportunity to discuss, “What the things we have to work on? What are the things that are working well?” as well as reevaluate her work schedule so she could be with her family more.

After more than one year of quarantining together amid the coronavirus pandemic, Cameron Bure spoke to Us exclusively about how her approach to marriage has shifted.
“When you’re all in a house together for [over a year], you have to start talking about the things you kind of avoid because of work and travel and all that stuff,” she said in April 2021. “We just pushed through some of the things that were eating away at both of us. There’s hurt feelings for a minute. And then there’s pouting for a minute and there’s anger for a minute. And then you kind of go, ‘Well, how are we going to figure it out? And what decisions are we going to make? How do we come to a compromise in a way that you feel good?’”
The Hallmark Channel star continued: “So, that’s just what we did. And that’s what marriage is really all about, but it was kind of thrown in your face during quarantine. I feel like we were always working hard to have our schedules meet, to spend more time together. It was such an effort … to the point where that was part of our issue. We were getting cranky with each other.”

The Aurora Teagarden Mysteries star and the former hockey player celebrated 25 years of marriage in June 2021. Ahead of their silver anniversary, the actress told Us about their romantic plans. “We are exchanging gifts, although I’m terrible at anniversary gifts. I’m the worst,” Cameron Bure admitted. “Val always comes up with something that’s wonderful and theme related, meaning it’s 25 years. … It’s silver. So he will for sure get something that has silver.”
The mother of three noted that she had something “custom made” for the marriage milestone. “So that felt a little extra on my part, but it’s not extravagant,” she explained. “We are going to go away to northern California for a few days to just spend a couple of days together. We have some dinners at [our] favorite restaurants, and we’re just going to enjoy the coast and the beach and one another.”

The Christmas Town actress revealed her and Bure’s “secret” to a successful marriage while celebrating their 25-year anniversary in June 2021. “Grace. Grace. Grace. Communication (which is so important but difficult when one partner isn’t willing.),” she wrote via Instagram alongside photos of the couple on a romantic getaway. “Sex. Laughter. Patience. Lots of patience. Love (a verb. which must be put into action, it’s not just a feeling.) No marriage is picture perfect. Not one. And certainly not ours.”
Cameron Bure added: “But through thick and thin, ups and downs, God has blessed us tremendously with guidance and perseverance. I believe God is the secret sauce 😉. I have more love for this man today than the day we married each other 🙌🏼❤️ And I know he does for me ❤️❤️. Praise the Lord 🙌🏼.”

"He can take a bite outta me any day ❤️!" Candace joked via Instagram in June 2022, along with a photo of her and the former hockey player posing goofily on paddleboards during a summer trip. "Val and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary 🥂with our boys doing what we love most together; having fun in the sun☀️!"

The actress opened up about how "important" it is for her and the retired athlete to "make time for one another" in all aspects of their lives — especially when it comes to being intimate. "I'm a happier person and my husband's a happier person when we've had sex. ... We don't have a schedule for that," she teased on the "Mayim Bialik's Breakdown" podcast in September 2022, adding that her husband's sense of humor is one of the things she loves most. "When there's that playfulness, like, there is nothing that makes me happier and more attracted to him."

Candace told Us exclusively in April 2024 that it’s “by the grace of God” that she and Valeri are still together after decades of marriage “because you go through ups and downs.”
“No one has a perfect marriage, and there are trials along the way, but I’m grateful we’ve stuck through them,” she told Us. “Above all, we just want what’s best for each other. We want to do everything we can to stay together. And a lot of times it just means being selfless and putting your sense of control aside and going, ‘How do we work on this together?’”
She continued: “It’s like there’s a lot of humility in marriage, let’s just say that. You’ve got to put your pride aside.”

During an exclusive interview with Us in November 2024, Candace shared the tools she uses to overcome any relationship hurdle.
“Communication's the biggest one,” the Fuller House alum explained. “And it's trying to have honesty within the communication, but still be truthful in a loving way because truth hurts sometimes, but your spouse really should be there to help refine you.”
While the truth may sting, it provides countless benefits in the end, Candace argued.
“We have a lot of laughs and we have a lot of love for each other,” she added. “And we genuinely enjoy being around each other.”

In July 2025, Candace revealed on her eponymous podcast that she went through a low point in her marriage to Valeri.
“Val and I went through a really, really rough season in our marriage,” she said. “We were like, ‘I don’t know, don’t think … we’re gonna make it through.’ But at one point, [our son] Lev preached, like, a 45-minute sermon on marriage to us. Just had his Bible open on the couch and just talked about it.”
Candace said her son spoke with “such a calm voice that had so much wisdom behind it.” She and Valeri later “walked away” thinking, “We raised some pretty good kids.”

Teddi Mellencamp’s Boyfriend Identified After PDA-Filled L.A. Outing

Teddi Mellencamp’s new boyfriend has been identified one month after she was spotted getting cozy with a mystery man in Los Angeles.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 44, is dating Ricci Rea. While Rea doesn’t appear to have a social media presence, he isn’t a stranger to the Hollywood scene. (The Daily Mail was first to report Rea’s identity.)

Rea has worked in production for unscripted TV, live shows and various national networks, including ABC, TBS and NBC, according to his LinkedIn profile. After working as an event producer, experiences and design for Fox Entertainment for two years, Rea was an event producer for AppleTV+ and later Done + Dusted as part of their unscripted and originals division in North America.

He has been a senior producer at Dorothy, a boutique creative agency, since November 2024 and lives in Los Angeles, per LinkedIn.

Mellencamp sparked romance speculation with Rea in early June when she was photographed cuddling up to the then-unknown man during a walk in California.

Mellencamp, who is battling cancer, smiled for the camera in one picture while Rea’s arms wrapped around her, according to photos obtained by Page Six.

In another June 1 photo, Rea helped Mellencamp put a baseball cap on as they walked side by side.

A few weeks later, the reality star confirmed that she was dating someone and gave rare insight into her new beau.

“I’ve had to make it clear to people I’ve dated [that] this is where I am. This is what I’ve got,” Mellencamp said during the June 20 episode of iHeartRadio’s “Diamonds in the Rough” podcast, referring to her cancer diagnosis. “If it’s enough for you, great. If it’s not enough, I won’t be upset. I mean, yes, my feelings will probably be hurting, but this is all I got to give. And if that’s enough, great.”

She noted that she was “dating the same guy” that she was photographed with weeks earlier.

“I haven’t had to say any of those things, but he is really sweet and kind,” Mellencamp continued. “He came and picked us up this week from the show, and he could tell that I was down. He sat and watched, like, one million hours of horse show rounds. He’s just a good guy. I know I deserve it, and it’s really nice.”

Teddi Mellencamp Is Living With Kyle Richards Amid Edwin Arroyave Divorce

Mellencamp’s new romance comes following her split from Edwin Arroyave in November 2024. Mellencamp and Arroyave, 48, were married 13 years before she filed for divorce.

The exes put their divorce on hold five months later when Mellencamp was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. The former Housewife had previously battled melanoma but revealed in February that it had metastasized to her brain and lungs.

As Mellencamp has continued her cancer battle — many of her tumors have shrunk — Arroyave has been there for her and their three children. The estranged couple share daughters Slate, 12, Dove, 5 and son Cruz, 10. (Arroyave is also the father of Isabella, 16, from a prior relationship.)

“We’re just trying to be each other’s friend right now and be the best parents we can be [for] our kids,” Mellencamp exclusively told Us Weekly in her April cover story, explaining, “I don’t think that either of us are going to rekindle our marriage.”

Mellencamp also told Us that she and Arroyave were excited to see who the other dated moving forward because of their strong friendship.

“He’s been there for me a hundred percent, he’s been there for the kids, and we’re back to laughing,” she said of her and Arroyave’s dynamic. “We call it the ‘Divorce Chronicles.’ And I want to talk [to him] about the kind of girls [he’s] going to marry … because if these people are going to take care of my kids, this is what I want, and this is the definition of what I don’t want.”

She teased she might let Arroyave “pick the next partner” she has, but confessed, “I’m not going to listen” to him.

Kyle Richards Shares Advice for Teddi Mellencamp Amid Divorce

Mellencamp isn’t sure what the future holds, but she said on the June 20 podcast that her current boyfriend has been nothing but supportive of her health journey as well.

“If for some reason you realize you need somebody that doesn’t have three kids, 1 million activities to do, 87 podcasts, you want more time than I’m able to give? I understand,” Mellencamp told Erika Jayne on the podcast, revealing she had an honest conversation with Rea. “I would not be mad at you for not even a second. He’s like, ‘I am willing to do anything to be able to spend time with you.’”

Jayne, 53, approves of Rea after meeting him prior to Mellencamp’s podcast appearance.

“Do you know what he said to me in the driveway when I first met him? ‘Teddi’s such a really good girl.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, she really is,’” Jayne recalled. “He knows you differently than the rest of the people that watch you.”

Buckingham Palace Guards Played ‘Pink Pony Club’ to Celebrate Pride

The royal family wanted to honor pride month in a special way — but not everyone appreciated the gesture.

On Saturday, July 5, the royal family shared an Instagram video of the Coldstream Guards playing Chapell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” outside of Buckingham Palace.

“Happy Pride! 🌈🪩✨,” the caption read.

Several people took to the comments section to applaud the royal family for openly supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

“We stan a royal ally 👏🏳️‍🌈,” one user wrote, while another shared, “Look at that. The king himself who believes strongly in God can also celebrate pride. Without any doubt or fear or prejudice. Shame millions of other people can’t! 🌈 🌈.”

While many people enjoyed the royal family celebrating pride month, others thought the royal family should not have participated due to their religious beliefs. (It should be noted that many people who identify as religious also identify as LGBTQ+.)

“Defender of the faith? Lol not so much,” one user responded.

Some even questioned the royal family’s motives, with one person writing that the royals would do “anything to stay relevant.”

While the royal family has not always been supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, the new generation of royals have been vocal about their views.

William and Kate ‘In Awe of Each Other’ After Year of Royal Drama

In 2016, Prince William became the first-ever British royal to appear on the cover of a gay publication when he posed for Attitude magazine.

“No one should be bullied for their sexuality or any other reason, and no one should have to put up with the kind of hate that these young people have endured in their lives,” William, 43, told the outlet at the time. “The young gay, lesbian and transgender individuals I met through Attitude are truly brave to speak out and to give hope to people who are going through terrible bullying right now. Their sense of strength and optimism should give us all encouragement to stand up to bullying wherever we see it.”

Nearly three years after William publicly supported the LGBTQ+ community, he opened up about how he would feel if his and Kate Middleton’s kids came out as LGBTQ+. (The pair, who wed in 2011, share Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.)

“I’ve been giving that some thought recently,” William said while visiting the Albert Kennedy Trust in June 2019 to speak to youth left homeless because of their sexuality. “I think you really don’t start thinking about that until you are a parent, and I think — obviously, absolutely fine by me.”

Camilla! William! Kate! All the Royals at Charles' Trooping the Colour

William noted that the “one thing” he would be “worried about is how — particularly [with] the roles my children fill — that is going to be interpreted and seen.”

“Catherine and I have been doing a lot of talking about it to make sure they were prepared,” he shared. “I think communication is so important with everything. In order to help understand it you’ve got to talk a lot about stuff and … how to support each other and how to go through the process.”

Gary Coleman’s Ex-Wife Didn’t Do Well on a Polygraph Test About His Death

Gary Coleman’s ex-wife, Shannon Price, took a polygraph test about the late actor’s fatal fall — and the test administrator wasn’t impressed with her results.

Price, 39, sat down with former FBI agent and veteran polygraph examiner George Olivo for the polygraph test conducted by A&E’s Lie Detector: Truth or Deception, which airs on Thursday, July 10. She was asked multiple questions about Coleman and the 2010 fall down the stairs that killed him at age 42.

“The [polygraph] recording is 100 percent accurate. It’s like a tape recorder. It records exactly every word, doesn’t change anything,” Olivo said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Tuesday, July 8. “So you can’t argue with me, ‘Hey, those aren’t my words.’ But what you could say is — if I play that recording for you of our conversation — you could say, ‘Yeah, those are my words, but here’s what I meant by them.’”

While the episode has yet to air, Price revealed the questions he asked Price and how she performed to the outlet. During the test, Price was questioned if she ever struck Coleman in their relationship and if she intentionally decided to withhold medical help that could have aided Coleman after he fell. While Price answered “no” to both questions, Olivo’s results were inconclusive, which meant that Price didn’t score high enough to pass or low enough to fail.

Olivo acknowledged that Price’s inconclusive results could have been caused by a fidgety demeanor, an “inability or unwillingness to focus” or some other “outside issue.”

“So we have a lot of anomalies, and that’s going to bump the score one way or another. Again all of those things could be inadvertent or intentional,” he explained. “We have a lot of ways of determining intentionality on a test. We can kind of read between the lines and read the tea leaves — they’re called countermeasures when someone tries to cheat on a test. And I’ve received a lot of training on specifically identifying countermeasures. You can’t figure out exactly what somebody’s doing, but you can tell if physiology is being manipulated.”

Price was also asked if she physically caused Coleman’s fall. Price replied “no,” but she “failed with deception.”

“Those reactions are 100 percent [Price’s] reactions; [the polygraph] doesn’t change anything, it’s exactly what her body is saying,” Olivo said of Price’s results. “Now I have to interpret it, and there’s where there’s a little bit of — you know, you can’t say it’s 100 percent. But I’m confident because that’s the result I got. I’m not gonna say, ‘Hey, I’m 90 percent sure you’re not telling the truth.’ I have to be confident in my work and in the results.”

Olivo added that he trusts his charts and the polygraph “process.”

Because Olivo doesn’t know for sure what happened between Price and Coleman — despite the polygraph test — he says he can only theorize.

“Only Shannon knows what happened in that house. So I’m not here as a professional or even as a layperson to throw her under the bus in any way and call her a murderer or anything,” he shared. “I’m not saying anything like that. I don’t know what happened in that house, but what could have happened is that she and Gary got into a shouting match or an argument that turned into a shoving match, he fell and hit the ground. It doesn’t have to be any more sinister than that. That could’ve happened. It could have been 100 percent an accident that she doesn’t want to explain how the whole thing unfolded. All I know for sure, what I’m 100 percent certain of — at least through my process — is that there is more to the story than she’s telling.”

Price agreed to undergo the lie detector test to “address persistent public suspicion regarding her potential involvement in his death, even though she was never charged in connection with it,” according to A&E. Price has denied any wrongdoing in connection with her ex-husband’s death.

Price told Us Weekly that she was “extremely disappointed with the overall experience” of the polygraph test.

“The testing situation was unfair and very uncomfortable, and the testing was performed non-verbally — which I should have refused,” Price said. “From the beginning, it was apparent they cared more about ratings than finding the truth.”

Coleman and Price got married in 2007 but filed for divorce the following year. After their split, Price claimed that she and Coleman continued to live together and had a common-law marriage until his death. Price was at the house the day Coleman fell and called 911.

“I was in bed and Gary was already downstairs. To me it sounded like pants that hit the floor. I got out of bed and I went downstairs and there he was on the floor with blood around his head,” Price recalled in the 2024 documentary GARY. “I did not want to intervene with where all the blood was because I knew help was coming.”

Ryan Lochte Claims Ex Wants 'Pity,' Denies Cheating With New Girlfriend

Ryan Lochte is calling out his estranged wife for insinuating that he cheated on her with his new girlfriend.

Lochte, 40, went Instagram official with Molly Gillihan over the weekend, one month after Kayla Rae Reid announced she had filed for divorce from Lochte after seven years of marriage. 

Reid recently posted an inspirational quote via her Instagram Story, which read, “Sometimes God allows the betrayal…because it leads to the breakthrough.”

“I want people to understand that Molly didn’t take me away from my ex-wife,” Lochte told the Daily Mail on Monday, July 7. “She didn’t take me away from my kids. We got a divorce and I left. I moved down the street because I wanted to be in my kids’ lives and I will always be in my kids’ lives.”

Ryan Lochte’s Alleged 6-Figure Income Revealed by Estranged Wife Amid Divorce

Lochte and Reid got married in 2016 and welcomed three children together: son Caiden in 2017 and daughters Liv and Georgia in 2019 and 2023, respectively. 

“’There was no infidelity with Molly, like nothing,” Lochte continued. “Molly didn’t do anything wrong. She didn’t pursue me, I pursued her. It was after I got served with the divorce papers. I was out of the house and living by myself. It was all after the fact.”

He added, “Kayla has blocked me on social media. She’s the one that wanted this divorce in the first place and now she’s playing this pity party.”

Reid filed for divorce in March, claiming the marriage was “irretrievably broken” in court documents. 

Despite the divorce filing coming earlier this year, Lochte insisted he and his estranged wife had been “having complications for a long time.”

“What people don’t really realize is that me and my ex haven’t really been together for a very long time,” he alleged. “Basically, since my littlest girl was born, which was around two years ago.”

Reid and Lochte’s youngest daughter, Georgia, was born in June 2023. 

Lochte met Gillihan, 37, a kindergarten teacher, at the Gainesville, Florida, school attended by his two eldest children, Caiden and Liv. Two of Gillihan’s children attend the same school.

“She has the patience of a freaking saint,” Lochte gushed. “It’s awesome being with her. We’re just living our best lives and having fun.”

Gillihan, who finalized a divorce of her own earlier this year, said she is “extremely happy” in her new relationship. 

“He pursued me some time after Kayla served him with divorce papers and he was living on his own,” Gillihan explained. 

Gillihan was “attracted” to Lochte’s parenting skills but admitted she was not super knowledgeable about the 12-time Olympic medal–winning swimmer’s career in the pool.  

Ryan Lochte’s Estranged Wife Demands Exclusive Use of Home Amid Divorce

“I do not know much about his history in swimming but when I saw how he was with his kiddos I decided to give him a chance,” she said. 

A source exclusively told Us Weekly that Reid had “trust issues on her end” before she filed for divorce from Lochte. 

“Ryan betrayed Kayla’s trust in numerous ways,” a second insider said. 

Us Weekly has reached out to Lochte’s lawyers and Reid for comment.
