Astronomer Announces New Interim CEO After Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal

Astronomer has announced a temporary replacement for CEO  Andy Byron and confirmed he was put on leave in the wake of the viral Coldplay cheating scandal.

The company shared a statement confirming the news to Us Weekly on Friday, July 18.

“Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy is currently serving as interim CEO given Andy Byron has been placed on leave,” the statement read. “We will share more details as appropriate in the coming days.”

Andy, 50, and Kristin Cabot were caught cuddling up to one another by the kiss cam during Coldplay’s concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, July 16. Andy, who according to multiple reports, is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, immediately dropped his arms from Cabot’s waist and ducked away from the camera when he noticed that they were on the Jumbotron, while Cabot covered her face with her hands and turned around.

“Whoa, look at these two. Alright, come on. You’re OK. Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair, or they’re very shy,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin told the audience. “I’m not quite sure what to do. Holy s***. I hope we didn’t do something bad.”

Us Weekly reached out to Astronomer, Andy and Cabot for comment.

Two days after the footage of the moment went viral, sparking countless memes, reactions from celebrities and even fake statements from the players involved, Astronomer broke its silence with a statement on Friday.

“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,” the software company’s statement, which was shared via LinkedIn, read. “Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability. The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”

The company also confirmed that Byron, who was appointed CEO in 2023, has not “put out any statement” regarding the scandal despite speculation.

Cabot was hired to work for Astronomer in November 2024. Andy praised the human resources executive in a press release at the time.

“At Astronomer, our people are the most valuable asset in helping our customers do more to gain a competitive advantage with their data,” he said. “Kristin’s exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory.”

He continued, “She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.”

Meanwhile, Cabot said she felt “energized” to work with Andy’s team.

“I prefer to think of my role as people strategy versus traditional human resources, as the real magic happens when you align the people strategy with the business strategy,” she shared in a statement. “There are plenty of companies out there where a leadership team doesn’t recognize the value that a strong people leader and people team can bring to a company. It’s not just about benefits or catered lunches. There’s so much more to it, and I was energized in my conversations with Andy and the Astronomer leadership team about the opportunities that exist here.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt Wanted to Be 'Sexy Not Sexualized' in ‘IKWYDLS’

Jennifer Love Hewitt wanted to embrace her sexy side — without being “sexualized” — when it came to her wardrobe in I Know What You Did Last Summer.

In a new interview with Vulture, published on Friday, July 18, Hewitt, 46, and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, 37, spoke about how they wanted to shape her character Julie’s look for the reboot.

According to the outlet, Hewitt, her stylist and Robinson collaborated to conjure up a look “that felt right — sexy but not sexualized, in vintage T-shirts and blazers and jeans.”

Hewitt described the wardrobe choice in comparison to the sexualized outfits she wore in the 1997 original as “very healing.”

“Nobody’s going to be talking about my boobs. ‘Oh, you want me to flash you? They’re down here,’” she joked.

Acknowledging she does wear one low-cut top in IKWYDLS  “just to give some cleavage,” Hewitt added, “We were like, ‘Well, we’re back. Why not?’”

Earlier in the piece, Hewitt reflected on seemingly being sexualized as a teenager while working as an actress.

“Before I even knew what sex was, I was a sex symbol. I still don’t know that I have that fully defined for myself because it started so weird,” she said, noting that it “bothers me more now than it did at that age because I was in it.”

Robinson told Vulture that she wanted Hewitt to feel sexy onscreen but not solely for the benefit of men.

 “We cannot let men take away the fact that she is hot because they wanted to make it their thing,” she says. “We have to reclaim Jennifer Love Hewitt being hot for us!”

Jennifer Love Hewitt Addresses Sarah Michelle Gellar Feud Rumors

Mom of three Hewitt  — she shares Autumn, 11, Atticus, 10 and and Aidan, 4 with husband Brian Hallisay — has previously opened up about how it felt to get so much attention for her body in the 90s.

“In my 30s, I sort of went back and looked at that time again and I was like, ‘Oh my God,’” she told fellow teen star Mayim Bialik on her “Breakdown” podcast in January 2025.

She continued,  “There were grown men talking to me at 16 about my breasts just openly on a talk show, and people were laughing about it. I don’t even remember that, I really didn’t take that part in, but in hindsight it was really strange I think to become a sex symbol sort of for people before I even knew what that was.”

Ana De Armas Reads Novel About AI Girlfriend While on Trip With Tom Cruise

Ana de Armas’ latest beach read choice is an interesting selection.

Online gossip account DeuxMoi posted a photo of de Armas, 37, on a boat with Tom Cruise while on a getaway in Spain. The actress donned a sun hat and white cover-up. Cruise, 63, rocked a button-up shirt and fedora.

As the pair enjoyed the sunny day, de Armas had Sierra Greer’s book Annie Bot by her side while she sat across from the action movie star.

The science fiction novel, which was published last year, tells the story of an AI robot named Annie Bot. According to the synopsis, Annie Bot “was created to be the perfect girlfriend for her human owner” as she was “designed to satisfy his emotional and physical needs.” As Annie Bot adapts to life around her, she ends up becoming less perfect.

That same month, Cruise shared his excitement for de Armas’ new movie in the John Wick universe.

“I saw the movie, which kicks ass,” Cruise said via social media footage. “Oh, man, it’s right in that tone. It’s right in that big world, and you’re gonna love it.”

The following month, de Armas gushed about how great it was to have Cruise’s support.

Ana de Armas Says She and Tom Cruise Are 'Working Together' 

“You know what, he supports every movie,” she said to Variety in June. “He really wants the industry and cinema to do well and [wants] people going to the theaters. We’re working together, so he got to see Ballerina, and he actually really liked it. He loved the John Wick [franchise].”

She continued: “It is very special that someone like him is supporting [Ballerina.] It is really special, in general, to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together.”

That same month, Cruise and de Armas were spotted together again while traveling in Europe. The twosome were photographed while lounging together on a luxury yacht near Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain.

Billy Ray and Elizabeth Hurley Cozy Up at Noah Cyrus' London Show

Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley enjoyed a night out in London at daughter Noah Cyrus’ concert.

Billy Ray, 63, and Hurley, 60, were seen snuggling up while in the audience at Noah’s show at the Islington Assembly Hall on Friday, July 18, according to an eyewitness. In photos obtained by Us Weekly, Billy Ray can be seen sitting next to Hurley with an arm sweetly wrapped around her.

In addition to supporting his daughter from the crowd, Billy Ray joined Noah, 25, on stage for an impromptu performance. The father-daughter duo sang her songs “With You” and “Stand Still” together. “With You” has a particularly special meaning to Noah and Billy Ray as it was inspired by their bond.

Billy Ray has been staying with Hurley while he enjoys his time across the pond. This was not the couple’s first outing to support their loved ones. Last month, the pair attended the London premiere of Miley Cyrus’ film Something Beautiful.

How Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus Are Bonding With Each Other’s Kids

“What a treat- a perfect way to celebrate the Summer Solstice with @mileycyrus Reborn from Something Beautiful,” Hurley shared via Instagram alongside a series of photos and videos showing her and Billy Ray supporting Miley.

Hurley posted a subsequent photo sharing that Miley, 32, met her son Damian. (Billy Ray shares Miley, Noah and son Braison with ex-wife Tish Cyrus. The country singer also adopted Tish’s two children, Trace and Brandi, from a previous relationship. Hurley welcomed Damian with ex Steve Bing.)

“The babies are all grown up 🥹❤ @damianhurley1 & @mileycyrus at the premiere of Something Beautiful in London last night ❤❤❤ #proudparents,” she captioned a snap of the twosome.

Billy Ray replied in the comments section calling the occasion a “night to remember.”

“This is what rock n’ roll is all about … the kids are together,” he added.

Billy Ray and Hurley hard-launched their relationship earlier this year on Easter Sunday.

“Happy Easter ♥,” the couple captioned a joint Instagram photo of them sharing a sweet smooch.

After sending the internet into a frenzy, Hurley shared some more insight about her connection to the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer.

“I think people found Billy and I being together a little surprising,” she told reporters while on the red carpet for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party in May. “It’s not surprising to me because we’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well. There has been quite a reaction. … We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country. And we both love country music, both love movies. We’ve got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely.”

Teen Charged With Parents' Murder After Asking TikTok Influencers for Help

A Georgia teen has been accused of killing her mother and stepfather after she first allegedly reached out to TikTok bloggers for help on solving the case.

According to court documents viewed by Us Weekly on Friday, July 18, Sarah Grace Patrick was arrested on July 8 in Carroll County on two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault. At the time, she was denied bond.

“We can confirm that an arrest has been made in this case,” the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office also wrote via Facebook on July 8. “Kristin Brock’s 17-year-old daughter, Sarah Grace Patrick, has been taken into custody and charged with two counts of Murder and two counts of Aggravated Assault in connection with the deaths of her mother [Kristin] and stepfather [James Brock].”

The arrest came more than one year after police first discovered the bodies of Kristin, 41, and James, 45, on the morning of February 20, 2025. According to police, they both died from apparent gunshot wounds in their home.

The Most Shocking TikTok Star and Influencer Deaths Through the Years

“While the case has not remained in the public spotlight in recent months, this investigation has never gone silent,” police said in their latest statement. “Real justice takes time, time to ensure that no detail is overlooked, no stone unturned.”

Even with the arrest, police said the case remains an active and ongoing investigation and additional arrests are possible as new evidence comes to light. Anyone with information is still encouraged to come forward.

“Our prayers remain with the families of James and Kristin Brock, and especially with their young daughter who was at home during this horrific crime,” police said. “We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the community that rallied for justice and never gave up hope.”

Before an arrest was made, Patrick reportedly reached out to multiple TikTok influencers to bring attention to the case, People reported.

Carroll County Communications Director Ashley Hulsey confirmed to FOX News Digital in a July 11 press conference that Patrick had a TikTok account that commented on posts related to the case and said investigators uncovered “mountains of evidence.”

Patrick’s grandfather Dennis Nolan has questioned the strength of the case and believes his granddaughter is innocent.

“It’s all speculative stuff,” he said in an interview with FOX 5 Atlanta. “Nothing puts the gun in her hand. They don’t have the gun.”

After Patrick’s arrest, Nolan said he received a phone call from his granddaughter in jail.

“What are they doing to me?” she reportedly told Nolan. “Why are they doing this to me? I didn’t do anything.”

‘IKWYDLS’ Features [Spoiler] Back From the Dead in Surprise Cameo 

The new I Know What You Did Last Summer featured more familiar faces than anticipated.

Warning: Major spoilers below for the plot of IKWYDLS 2025: 

The latest iteration of the beloved slasher flick, which hit theaters on Friday, July 18, follows a group of teens who find history repeating itself when they accidentally kill a man on the 4th of July. When a masked fisherman begins to murder them one by one, they enlist the help of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr.’s Julie James and Ray Bronson, the original survivors of the 1997 attacks.

Hewitt, 48, and Prinze Jr., 49, both starred in IKWYDLS alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe, with the latter two not making it to the sequel. Gellar’s onscreen death in particular has been lauded as one of the best in horror movie history, with many fans wishing her character, Helen, made it out alive after nearly escaping the fisherman’s clutches.

‘IKWYDLS’ Ending Explained: Is There a Post-Credits Scene? Who's the Killer?

Director and cowriter of the 2025 film Jennifer Kaytin Robinson clearly understands the love for Gellar’s character, honoring her in various ways in the new film. Madelyn Cline’s Danica is clearly meant to be Helen 2.0, a beauty queen and overall diva (in the best way). The new cast makes a stop by Helen’s grave amid the chaos, and podcaster Tyler (Gabbreitte) sports a Helen Shivers T-shirt throughout the film — “Oh god, isn’t she so hot? Sucks she’s dead,” Tyler says.

Tyler and Danica also have attack sequences that mirror Helen’s incredible fight for her life in 1997, although this time, Danica makes it out alive — but not before she’s visited by Helen herself.

In a shocking cameo appearance, Gellar reprises her iconic role and comes to Danica in a dream sequence. “You’re Helen Shivers,” Danica says in shock, to which Helen replies, “And don’t you f***ing forget it.” Dressed in her croaker queen dress, she warns Danica she’s going to die, telling her, “Stay in the dream as long as you can. Nothing good is waiting for you on the other side,” before she begins to bleed and transform into a ghoulish figure.

Prior to the IKWYDLS hitting theaters, Robinson swore she “tried” her best to get Gellar to return for the movie to no avail.

“I harassed her! But she is dead,” Robinson told Entertainment Weekly earlier this year. “I tried to pitch some crazy s*** too. I was like, ‘What if it’s like you weren’t dead and you’re actually alive, but in hiding?’ And Sarah’s like, ‘I was on ice. I was the most dead a person could be. You can see my frozen body.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, but what if?’ And she said, ‘I am dead. I am Sarah Dead Gellar.’”

With real-life husband Prinze Jr. back in action as Ray, however, Gellar did get to fly to Australia with the couple’s kids (Charlotte, 15, and Rocky, 12) to visit the set and serve an important role for Robinson.

“My best friend [Robinson] is directing it, so we joke that I have an unofficial job, which is, I am continuity,” Gellar joked to EW. “So I’m always the one telling her, ‘Well, that would happen, or that wouldn’t happen with those characters,’ so I do have kind of an unofficial job title.”

Prinze Jr., for his part, didn’t give any inclination his wife would be reappearing in the new film while speaking to Us earlier this month — but stood firm on the opinion that Helen had to die back in 1997.

“If she would’ve made it out, I don’t think people would be talking about it the way they do now,” the actor exclusively told Us Weekly. “That is one of the greatest chase scenes and death scenes in the history of horror films. And that’s all due to  Jim [Gillespie], the director, Denis [Maloney] the DP and Sarah the actor in it. And the way they put that scene together.”

Why Freddie Prinze Jr. Changed His Mind About Returning for New 'IKWYDLS'

Prinze Jr. noting that giving the audience “that much hope” that Helen would make it out alive — she nearly escapes to the 4th of July parade before the fisherman takes her down in an alley — only adds to the iconic moment.

“I love that it gets people worked up. It gets me worked up just talking about it now. Because it’s such an exciting scene to watch. I love that she died. I love the way she died. I love that audiences wish she didn’t die. That just means the director was right. That just means you wanted her to live so much because they executed at such a high level for you to believe she was gonna make it. … That’s what I love about horror films, is when I know they can make people talk about them this many years later.”

I Know What You Did Last Summer is in theaters now.

Justin Hartley's 'Tracker' Loses 2 More Main Cast Members Ahead of Season 3

Justin Hartley‘s show Tracker is losing two main cast members amid a season 3 reconfiguration.

Eric Graise, who played Bobby in the first two seasons, and Abby McEnany a.k.a Velma have both departed the hit CBS show, according to TVLine. This leaves only Hartley, 48, and Fiona Rene from the main cast as the series prepares to kick off production on season 3.

The shakeup comes after Tracker already lost Robin Weigert following the season 1 finale. Weigert’s character, Teddi, was written off in the season 2 premiere by having her wife, Velma, reveal that they needed some distance. Velma then started working with Reenie (Rene), and Teddi wasn’t discussed despite her prominent presence on the show’s first season.

Viewers previously had concerns that there could be more departures after executive producer Elwood Reid exclusively told Us Weekly about possible onscreen changes.

Which 'Tracker' Stars Are — And Aren't — Returning for Season 3?

“I do think it’s evolving. If I can’t evolve those characters — Randy or Reenie or Bobby — they’re not just people that just pick up the phone and go, ‘OK, here is the answer.’ That’s when the show is phoning it in,” he explained to Us in May. “The challenge is when you got to learn about them, which I thought was interesting. That’s the challenge of the show is not having it fall into a formula.”

Reid noted that they didn’t want Tracker to “fall into complacency.”

CBS

“The only rule I really have of the show is each week Colter is going to come to a new place and there’s going to be a new case. How he gets those answers and what he uses on the team, that’s all something that’s up for grabs,” Reid teased. “Meeting these [local] weird characters is something we’re going to try to do more of as the season goes on. Just Colter coming in and interacting with other characters. That’s fun to see Justin flex those muscles with really good guest cast members.”

Tracker, which premiered in February 2024, largely focuses on fictional survivalist Colter Shaw (Hartley) as he travels the country to help solve various missing persons cases. Since every episode shows Colter getting help from his team — handler Teddi, hacker Bobby and attorney Reenie — it came as a surprise when season 2 featured several episodes without Graise, 35.

'Tracker' Season 3 Will Be 'Reconfiguring' the Team: What to Know

Bobby’s cousin Randy (Chris Lee) was brought in to help Colter before Bobby returned, which caused backlash from viewers who grew used to seeing Graise on their screen.

“It’s one of those things where actor availability is always an issue. There have been shows where people don’t even notice [if a character is missing],” Reid added during his interview with Us. “You don’t [always] see Reenie. He talks to Velma for two seconds. He may talk to Bobby for one phone call. The show works because you are over Justin [Hartley]’s shoulder.”

At the time, Reid praised the show’s structure for allowing there to not be any “rules.”

“The only rule I really have of the show is each week Colter is going to come to a new place and there’s going to be a new case. How he gets those answers and what he uses on the team, that’s all something that’s up for grabs,” he teased. “Meeting these [local] weird characters is something we’re going to try to do more of as the season goes on. Just Colter coming in and interacting with other characters. That’s fun to see Justin flex those muscles with really good guest cast members.”

Tracker is currently streaming on Paramount+.

Pete Davidson and Pregnant Elsie Hewitt Weren't 'Planning' for a Baby

Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt didn’t have becoming parents on their bingo card, but it’s a welcome surprise.

“Pete and Elsie definitely weren’t planning on starting a family but are over the moon about it. They are so excited,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly of the parents-to-be. “Pete and Elsie have a really playful relationship, and things are going really well.”

The insider adds that while Davidson and Hewitt have been together for a “short amount of time,” they’ve become “inseparable” since they started dating earlier this year.

“This has brought them even closer. It’s a healthy relationship for Pete,” the source explains. “Pete has always wanted to be a dad and thinks the timing in his life is perfect. He couldn’t have done it a few years ago but is in a very different place in life now.”

According to the insider, Davidson, 31, has grown and “matured a lot.”

“He’s had a great year so far with two movies coming out soon, another in production, and a return to stand-up,” the source says.

As Hewitt and Davidson gear up to welcome their bundle of joy, the couple have gone into full nesting mode.

“He and Elsie live together now and are starting to get things ready, which has been very exciting for them to do together,” the insider shares.

What Pete Davidson Has Said About Wanting Kids as He Expects Baby No. 1

Many of the twosome’s friends expressed their excitement over the news, including Davidson’s good friend Machine Gun Kelly, who recently welcomed daughter Saga Blade with ex Megan Fox.

“These playdates bout to hittttt,” the rapper, 35, wrote in the comments section on Hewitt’s post.

Davidson and Hewitt sparked romance rumors back in March and confirmed their relationship on social media shortly after. Two months later, the pair made their red carpet debut at the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s annual fundraising gala.

Before dating Hewitt, Davidson candidly expressed his desire to settle down and become a father.

“I’m definitely a family guy. My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, I wanna have a kid. That’s like, my dream,” Davidson told Kevin Hart during a July 2022 preview for season 2 of Peacock’s Hart to Heart. “It’s like, super corny, [but] it would be so fun. Dress up the little dude. … I’m so excited for that chapter. That’s kind of what I’m just preparing for now, is just trying to be as good as a dude, develop and get better so when that happens it’s just easier.”

What We’re Hyped About: Hailey Bieber New Skincare, Hamptons Hot Spot, More

If you thought buying another skincare product or booking a trip to the Hamptons wasn’t in the cards for your summer, think again. Our current list of editor-approved, buzzworthy obsessions this week might just convince you otherwise.

For starters, let’s discuss the new Glazing Mist from Hailey Bieber‘s brand, Rhode. The smart spritz is essential for this time of year, as your skin still needs hydration to combat the dehydrating effects of sun exposure, chlorine and moisture-sucking AC units. So that’s why we love Bieber’s easy-to-use facial spray, as it’s enriched with important, moisturizing agents – including an amino acid called ectoin, a skin-smoothing ceramide trio and magnolia extract, an antioxidant — that work to leave the face glowing, soothed and looking healthy.

Another hot spot on our list has been visited by Bravo’s Summer House cast, as well as celebrities like Ashanti and Fat Joe. Between the impressive menu that features coastal Greek dishes plus award-winning wines, and a tropical-chic atmosphere boasting good vibes and a DJ, it’s practically a free ticket to Mykonos for people vacationing out east.

Sofia Mattsson Exits ‘General Hospital’ After 7 Years — Will She Be Back?

General Hospital has bid farewell to another character — Sofia Mattsson’s Sasha Gilmore — after seven years, Us Weekly can confirm.

“There was a good time in the story line for Sofia to leave to pursue other opportunities in film and TV,” a rep for the show told TV Insider on Friday, July 18, teasing, “But she is open for a return in the future.”

General Hospital’s Friday episode marked Mattsson’s last appearance after making her debut as Sasha in 2018.

During the episode, Sasha left Port Charles with baby Daisy to live with her parents, Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) and Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers). Once there, Sasha reflected on her time in Port Charles, giving fans a trip down memory lane as well.

“It was emotional for sure,” Mattsson, 34, told the outlet of her last day on set. “Cleaning out my room and knowing that I wouldn’t see all my friends there like usual every other day felt sad. But everyone was so supportive and excited for me.”

The actress noted that she has some “exciting new projects in the works,” but leaving General Hospital is still “bittersweet.”

Mattsson’s goodbye might not be permanent as she is open to returning to the soap opera space in time. “I’d have to see what the role was, but I’m definitely not opposed to coming back to the soap world,” she shared. “I think being on a soap is one of the best jobs you can have as an actress.”

Executive producer Frank Valentini told TV Insider that Mattsson will be missed. “I love Sofia, she is a great actress and a dear friend,” he said. “We will miss her, but we wish her the best in all of her future endeavors.”

Kelly Monaco, Alison Sweeney and More Shocking Soap Opera Exits

While those next steps have yet to be revealed, Mattsson hopes her fans know how much they meant to her each season.

“You guys are the best!” she said in a message to her fans. “I’m in awe of your commitment, and I’m so honored to have gotten to experience your love and support firsthand.”

General Hospital's Emma Samms Returns as Holly Sutton After 2023 Departure

Mattsson’s exit comes a few weeks after costar Kirsten Storms announced her temporary departure. Storms, 41, shared via Instagram on July 7 that after playing Maxie Jones for two decades she was taking a prolonged break while relocating to Nashville.

“It’s possible I will be back in December, maybe November,” Storms explained. “I promise you the story line they have going on until my return to Port Charles is kind of incredible. You guys are gonna freak out actually.”

General Hospital airs on ABC weekdays.

Priyanka Chopra 'Grateful' for Family on 43rd Birthday: 'Greatest Gift'

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s love story is one of a kind.

The twosome first got acquainted in September 2016 after the Jonas Brothers member slid into Chopra Jonas’ Twitter DMs. They continued to text from there and later connected in person at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, where Jonas got down on one knee to show his admiration for his future wife.

Us Weekly broke the news in May 2018 that the duo were officially dating. At the time, an insider revealed that they were “a good match and they are both interested in each other.”

Jonas proposed to Chopra Jonas on her birthday just two months later, and the couple tied the knot in two separate ceremonies in India that December.

“He swept me off my feet,” Chopra Jonas wrote in her 2021 memoir, Unfinished, about their whirlwind courtship. “Once we started dating, I felt like I was being carried by a giant unstoppable wave.”

Still, she admitted that she was “in shock” when he got down on one knee — but she was also excited to start their lives together. “Once I’d said yes, we stayed up until 8:30 in the morning FaceTiming our families and friends,” she wrote in her book. “Then the wedding planning essentially began.”

The duo announced via Instagram in January 2022 that they welcomed their first child.

“We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate,” a statement on their respective social media pages read. “We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much ❤.”

In April, Us confirmed their daughter’s name — Malti Marie Chopra Jonas.

Jonas revealed during an interview with Vogue in November 2018 that he first reached out to Chopra Jonas via her Twitter DMs. "I'm hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet,” Jonas wrote to his future love on September 8, 2016. “She responded day of with a message that said, 'My team can read this. Why don't you just text me.’”

The duo had a texting relationship for months before meeting up multiples times in early 2017, including at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty and at Chopra’s home. 
“We hung out for a couple of hours,” Chopra Jonas told Vogue in November 2018. “He patted my back before he left.”
Jonas added: “There was no kiss. There was nothing. She’s still upset about that. … Your mom was in the house! I thought it was a respectful first night.”
The singer may have kept things “respectful,” but he also was falling for Chopra Jonas, telling the magazine that he got down on one knee at the Vanity Fair party. “I put my drink down,” he recalled. “Get on one knee — this is in front of a bunch of people — and I say, ‘You’re real. Where have you been all my life?’ Like, loud.”

The couple were first spotted together when they walked the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City. He sported a black and white tuxedo, while she wore a trench coat with a long train. “We were both wearing Ralph Lauren, and we decided to go together,” Chopra Jonas later explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live! before insisting that their relationship was purely platonic at the time.

One year after the Met Gala, Us exclusively revealed that Jonas and Chopra Jonas had started dating. “It’s brand new,” a source told Us. Another insider noted that Jonas, who is 10 years younger than Chopra Jonas, “loves women who are mature like him, [which] usually means he dates a little outside of his age bracket.”

The pair exchanged flirty comments on Instagram. After Chopra Jonas shared a photo of herself having dinner at In-N-Out with two friends, Jonas commented, “That smile,” adding a heart emoji. Three days later, he posted a video of himself with a koala bear at a zoo in Australia. “Who is cuter? Lol,” Chopra Jonas wrote.
That same month, Jonas brought Chopra Jonas as his date to his cousin Rachel Tamburelli’s wedding in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The duo walked arm-in-arm as they arrived at the beachside ceremony. The next morning, they had brunch with his family and other guests.
They later flew to Chopra Jonas' native India, where Jonas met his then-girlfriend’s mother, Madhu, and attended a pre-engagement party for businessman Akash Ambani.

The pair were spotted wearing matching gold bands on their right hands during their trip to Mumbai. “They are obviously serious enough to the point that they are meeting each other's families, which is clearly a huge deal,” a source told Us at the time. A second insider predicted, “No one would be surprised if Nick proposed to her in the next year.”
The couple later enjoyed a romantic double date with Nick's brother Joe Jonas and Joe’s then-fiancée, Sophie Turner, at 34 Mayfair in London. Nick and Chopra Jonas held hands as they left the restaurant. Chopra Jonas also celebrated her birthday at the hotel Chiltern Firehouse in London with Nick by her side.
Us confirmed that same month that Nick popped the question to Chopra Jonas, much to her surprise. “She was thrilled,” a source told Us. “Nick really loves her. They want to get married very soon.”

Nick and his parents, Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr., flew to India to meet Chopra Jonas' family. “It’s a tradition to go and meet the family before the wedding,” a source exclusively told Us of their visit. “Priyanka wants an Indian wedding. He’s super supportive of her and he’s thrilled.” 
The lovebirds made their engagement official with a traditional Roka engagement ceremony, an Indian service that takes place before a wedding to signify the unification of the bride and groom’s family members and friends. Both Nick and Chopra Jonas' parents attended the big event, which the couple documented with a sweet photo posted to their respective Instagram accounts on August 18. “Future Mrs. Jonas. My heart. My love,” Nick wrote, with Chopra Jonas adding, “Taken … With all my heart and soul.”

The duo shared photos from their visit to Oklahoma, where they got down and dirty in matching camouflage ensembles. “Ranch life,” Chopra Jonas captioned her Instagram pics, while Nick wrote, “Out on the ranch.”

A source told Us that “the wedding is coming soon," adding that the couple "really want to blend wedding traditions from both of their cultures that are important to them." The insider noted that Chopra Jonas "is having a really good time planning the wedding because it’s a mix of Indian and American styles and customs, which she knows so much about.”

A source told Us that despite not being married yet, the happy couple "keep talking about starting a family together," adding "they have amazing chemistry and can't wait to have kids." The insider noted that the two "are going to wait till after the wedding to start trying." Chopra Jonas revealed that she has babies on the brain during an interview with E! News in mid-October. “I just have a few of my friends who are having babies right now and I’m like, ‘God, I need to catch up!’” she said, a nod to pal Meghan Markle’s first pregnancy with Prince Harry.

A group of gal pals — including Chopra Jonas' future sister-in-law Turner — honored the bride-to-be with a bachelorette party in Amsterdam. (Chopra Jonas and Turner even called each other “#TheJSisters.”) A week prior, Kelly Ripa, Lupita Nyong’o and other celebs celebrated Chopra Jonas at a bridal shower at Tiffany’s Blue Box Café in New York City.

Chopra Jonas poked fun at her hubby during Netflix’s Jonas Brothers Family Roast. "I'm from India, a country rich in culture, in music, in entertainment," she joked. "So clearly the Jonas Brothers didn't make it over there."
She later reflected on the difficulties of a long-distance marriage as Nick toured and she filmed a series in the U.K. in 2021.
"We didn't have a dramatic separation but because he was in and out, we had to be really careful. He had to quarantine, I had to quarantine whenever we saw each other at that time. And that's usually not conducive to a production schedule because you don't really have much time. You have, like, two days off," she said on the InStyle's "Ladies First With Laura Brown" podcast. "It was all really tricky but we managed. He flew down a bunch of times, I flew down a couple of times. My mom came and stayed with me for almost five months, which was really nice.”
She added that the pair “talk all the time” when they aren’t together. "We know each other's hearts and we prioritize each other in everything that we do. We've had individual careers and we're both very clear about never interfering in each other's professional lives because we're always partners and assets. We'll have an opinion on each other's things, we'll be each other champions but those decisions are predominantly for both of us to take, because we've built our careers by ourselves for such a long time," she explained. "But I think at the same time, it's very important to keep a check on another person's heart and how they're feeling. And I have to say, my husband's amazing at doing that. Like I said, this year was hard for me being in London. He would just drop everything — come in for even, like a day — just to have dinner with me and fly back. Stuff like that, you just have to prioritize each other and then everything feels right."

During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Chopra Jonas revealed that her husband helped her craft the zingers she delivered on Netflix's Jonas Brothers Family Roast. "I had a great time," she said of the TV special. "I'll be honest — I'm going to give Nick credit where it's due. He wrote half my jokes because I was so nervous. But I delivered them!"

In a Vanity Fair cover story, Chopra Jonas revealed that she and her husband definitely want children at some point. "They’re a big part of our desire for the future,” she said. “By God’s grace, when it happens, it happens.”
Later that month, the twosome welcomed their first child via surrogate.

A source exclusively told Us how the new parents were "adjusting to" their new roles, explaining, "They're making it work as new parents as best as they can. They've always loved each other but seeing each other become new parents is special to both of them. They're spending time focusing on their newborn and are keeping the baby very private and away from the public and social media."

“To be able to find some joy at a time when the world feels so scary is such a blessing,” Chopra Jonas wrote via Instagram on March 18, sharing snaps from her Holi celebrations with the singer. “Happy holi everyone.

“Babe, you inspire me and every way, and you are taking to this new role with such ease and steadiness,” Nick wrote in a Mother’s Day tribute to his wife. “I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. You are already an incredible mother. Happy Mother’s Day. I love you.”
The pair also revealed that their daughter spent months in the NICU after she was born.
“On this Mother’s Day we can’t help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we’ve been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced,” Chopra Jonas wrote via Instagram. “After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home. Every family’s journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is.”

"First Father’s Day with my little girl. Thank you @priyankachopra for the incredible Father Daughter sneakers and for making me a daddy," Nick wrote via Instagram, showing off his shoes, labeled MM's Dad, and Malti's matching kicks with her initials.

His wife penned a tribute of her own, gushing via Instagram, "Find yourself a guy that reminds you everyday that you’re loved. Happy anniversary babe. ❤️."

Nick admitted that he needed some liquid courage before proposing to his wife. "I wanted to propose like, the day after her birthday — birthday was on the 18th, I proposed on the 19th, but I just did it at basically midnight to make it two separate days," Nick shared during an On Air With Ryan Seacrest interview. "At that point, we'd had a had a bottle of wine, so I was a little loose and I was feeling — feeling good."
During an interview, Chopra Jonas gushed about her husband's presence in her life, telling British Vogue, “He’s a wise man beyond his years. I get affirmations from him all the time, to remind me of my value when I forget or when I get insecure. He just sees through the fog for me. He sees the best in people.”
She also revealed that she and Nick have matching tattoos that were inspired by Nick's sweet proposal. “I have a check and a box behind my ears,” she explained. “My husband has them on his arms because when he proposed, he asked me, that I checked all his boxes, and would I check another one.”
Later that month, Nick gave a shout-out to his wife when he got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "To my beautiful wife, you are the calm in the crazy, the rock in the storm, and I love being married to you,” he said. “It is the greatest gift. And I love being a parent with you.”

Chopra Jonas exclusively told Us that "scheduling" is the key to her marriage success. "We have scheduling meetings every month with all our team and we maximize our time together because it's a priority to us," she added. "Work can always be navigated, but eventually, the priority is being able to be with your family as much as you can."

Chopra Jonas revealed her husband’s first time seeing her was on TV during her Miss World competition.
“That's a crazy story. When I was 17, actually when I was 18, I had just turned 18, I won the Miss World pageant,” she told Jennifer Hudson on her eponymous talk show. “My mother-in-law one day was like, 'I remember watching you when you won.’ I was like, 'There's no way,' and she was like, 'I remember it so clearly because it was November, Nick was on some Broadway show at 7 years old, his brother was on some Broadway show at 8 or 9,’ and she said, 'I remember this clearly because Kevin Sr.,' my father-in-law, loves watching pageants. And he, I remember, was watching it and Nick came and sat down and watched you win.’”
She quipped: “Like that was 22 years ago or something. He was 7, I was 17. And he was sitting there, and he was watching.”

Priyanka shared a montage of clips with her husband and daughter via Instagram one day before marking her 43rd birthday.

My family is my greatest gift and all of my incredible well wishers around the world. Thank you. So with immense gratitude I go into 43 baby! 🧿❤️💋.” 
 

Scott Wolf’s Restraining Order Against Ex Kelley Tentatively Dropped

Scott Wolfs temporary restraining order against his estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, was tentatively dismissed this week after the exes reached a deal in their ongoing divorce, Us Weekly can exclusively report.

According to court records obtained by Us, on Thursday, July 17, a proposed order was submitted that would dismiss the temporary restraining order and adopt a stipulation and agreement that Scott, 57, and Kelley, 48, had worked out.

Based on the records, it does not appear that the proposed court order has been signed by the judge yet.

As Us first reported, Scott filed for a temporary restraining order against Kelley, days after filing for divorce, on June 24.

Scott Wolf’s Ex Kelley Seen Out for 1st Time Since Restraining Order Drama

The petition, which included an affidavit by the Party of Five alum, was sealed, but the court order was initially made public.

In the order, the judge granted Scott’s request and ordered Kelley not to have any contact with him or their three kids, Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11, until a future court hearing.

The order said Kelley had “engaged in an escalating pattern of behavior that poses a substantial threat of immediate and irreparable harm to the parties’ minor children.”

Everything to Know About Scott and Kelley Wolf's Divorce and Police Drama

In the order, the judge also noted that Kelley allegedly tried to take the three kids out of the country. In addition, the order noted that Kelley’s behavior was “sufficient” for her to have been “detained by law enforcement and subsequently placed on an involuntary psychiatric commitment.”

The court awarded Scott temporary sole custody of their kids and exclusive use of their home in Park City, Utah. At the time, a source told Us, “It’s so sad for the kids, but Kelley is ready to fight like hell for her children.”

The drama between Kelley and Scott erupted in public on June 11 when he announced their split, two days after filing for divorce.

“After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,” Scott said in a statement. “Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter.”

Kelley Wolf Says 'Heinous' Allegations Are Keeping Her From Seeing Kids

As Us previously reported, Kelley was detained by police while on Instagram live on June 13. She was taken to a hospital and released a short time later.

This month, Kelley claimed she was placed on a second involuntary hold by law enforcement. Kelley wrote, “I was held for 7 days and they tried to keep me for 90 days.”

On social media, she posted a photo of alleged bruises she claimed were caused by officers. The agency she named in her posts denied responding to any calls regarding Kelley.

As Us previously reported, Scott and Kelley wed in 2004. The divorce is ongoing.

For Amanda Seyfried, no makeup look is complete without pigmented blush. During an appearance on Vogue‘s Beauty Secrets, the 39-year-old opened up about discovering the game-changing makeup product she’d been going without for so long.

“The thing that I never understood was blush. And it took me until my mid-thirties to discover that blush — it’s the secret weapon! It’s incredible,” she began. According to Seyfried, who only sports “rosy cheeks” when she’s freezing, a blush from her longtime makeup artist’s brand does the job. “Monika Blunder is a beautiful makeup artist that I’ve been working with since Mamma Mia!,” she explained before displaying Blunder’s Liquid Flush Cheek Tint. “I’m obsessed with this. It looks like moisturizer, but it’s the most beautiful color.”

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Feud Rumors Explained

I Know What You Did Last Summer costars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt have been rumored to have a frosty offscreen relationship since the horror classic’s 1997 release.

The controversy started over persistent rumors that Hewitt asked producers to kill off Gellar’s character Helen Shivers in the original IKWYDLS so her costar couldn’t return for 1998’s sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. (Hewitt has always denied having any part of Gellar’s character being written out of the franchise.)

All of the drama bubbled back to the surface in 2025 with the release of legacy sequel I Know What You Did Last Summer, which features Hewitt reprising her role as Julie James opposite Gellar’s husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., as Ray Bronson. Gellar announced prior to the new IKWYDLS going into production that she wasn’t returning because of Helen’s onscreen death.

Fans of the horror franchise were disappointed when Gellar and Hewitt did not reunite at the July 2025 premiere, even though both were in attendance. Gellar was quick to squash any suggestion of a feud, while Hewitt insisted in a separate interview that she was “good” with her former costar.

The rumors of a rift between Gellar and Hewitt date back to when they were filming I Know What You Did Last Summer. Some fans have speculated that the two didn’t get along on set, so Hewitt encouraged producers to kill off Gellar’s character.

Hewitt addressed the accusation head-on during an appearance on the “I’ve Never Said This Before” podcast in December 2024 in order to dispel stereotypes that “girl actresses don’t like to work with girl actresses.”

“I was 18. They were not taking script notes from me, guys,” Hewitt insisted, before saying that she was “totally” friends with Gellar back in the day.

She went on, “All of us were in that experience together and, kind of, figuring it all out and everything. I root for her and Freddie and think it’s the cutest thing in the world that they’ve been married for 100 years, and have kids. It’s adorable. It’s just been really funny to see all of this stuff that people think.”

Gellar announced in October 2024 that she was not returning for director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel even though Prinze was involved. She bluntly explained to People at the time: “I am dead.”

The actress was otherwise enthusiastic about the project, revealing: “My best friend [Jennifer] is directing it, so we joke that I have an unofficial job, which is I am continuity. So I’m always the one telling her, ‘Well, that would happen, or that wouldn’t happen with those characters,’ so I do have kind of an unofficial job title.”

However, there was an awkward moment two months later at the premiere of her show Dexter: Original Sin when Extra asked Gellar for an update on the new IKWYDLS.

“I have nothing to do with that,” she responded before walking away.

Hewitt’s return as Julie was announced only two days after Gellar’s awkward red carpet response, leading fans to once again suggest that there was friction between the pair.

Gellar attempted to clarify that situation by sharing a photo from the I Know What You Did Last Summer set, in addition to explaining why she’d been so reticent to discuss the movie.

“Aspiring actors please note: This ‘deer in the headlights’ reaction is perfect for when you are excited to see so many old friends in one project but have already stupidly forgotten what NDA means once this month,” she wrote via Instagram in December 2024.

‘We’re Good’

Hewitt next tried to squash the feud “narrative” during an interview with Vulture in July 2025. The former Party of Five star insisted she hadn’t really been in contact with Gellar since they worked on I Know What You Did Last Summer back in the day.

“I honestly don’t even know what that was or how that all came to be,” Hewitt said. “I just think people don’t want the narrative to be easy. Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other?”

When asked directly about her relationship with Gellar, Hewitt replied: “I haven’t seen Sarah. Literally, we’ve not talked since I  saw her at 18 years old when the first movie came out. That’s why it’s so funny to me. People were like, ‘Say something back.’ And I’m like, ‘What am I going to say? I’ve not seen her.'”

“On my side, we’re good. I have no idea where this is coming from,” she clarified.

Fans were quick to theorize that there was an ulterior explanation for why Hewitt and Gellar didn’t pose together at the IKWYDLS red carpet premiere in July 2025. This time, Gellar was the one trying to downplay theories that she was intentionally kept away from Hewitt.

“For everyone asking — I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie,” Gellar wrote via Instagram. “I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately, JLH didn’t come to the after party.”

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum also assured her social media followers that it wasn’t unusual for people to completely miss one another at Hollywood premieres.

“If you have ever been to one of these, it’s crazy. I sadly didn’t get pics with most of the cast,” Gellar wrote. “But that doesn’t change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately, some things happen only in real life and not online.”

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’s Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal: What to Know

Every so often, social media users are treated to a legendary day of jokes and memes — and a video from a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium provided one of those days on Thursday, July 17.

At the concert one day prior, a jumbotron kiss cam settled on Astronomer CEO Andy Byron appearing to hug the company’s chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, from behind in an intimate moment neither thought would become public. Their shocked reaction caused frontman Chris Martin to speculate to the stadium of 65,000 people that they were having an affair.

Though the alleged affair remains unconfirmed, Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, who is, notably, not Cabot.

As the viral video vaulted Thursday into the pantheon of great internet days, up there with the llamas escaping and 30 to 50 feral hogs, it’s easy to get lost in the noise. If you’re still wondering what exactly this is all about, keep scrolling for everything you need to know about the Coldplay kiss cam scandal.

Who Is Andy Byron?

Byron is the CEO of New York–based tech company Astronomer, which focuses on mission-critical analytics, AI and software, according to the company’s LinkedIn page. Byron joined the company in 2023 after serving as president of tech company Lacework from 2019 to 2022.

Who is Kristin Cabot?

Cabot has been Astronomer’s chief people officer since late 2024, when she joined from graph database management company Neo4j.

“There are plenty of companies out there where a leadership team doesn’t recognize the value that a strong people leader and people team can bring to a company,” she said in a press release announcing her hire. “It’s not just about benefits or catered lunches. There’s so much more to it, and I was energized in my conversations with Andy and the Astronomer leadership team about the opportunities that exist here.”

Coldplay introduced a kiss cam, a popular jumbotron promotion at sporting events, during their show. The camera settled on Byron and Cabot as Byron appeared to be holding her by the waist. When the two realized they were on camera, Byron immediately dropped to the floor and Cabot covered her face.

Their frantic reactions prompted band frontman Martin to wonder aloud whether the two were having an affair.

“Whoa, look at these two. Alright, come on. You’re OK,” Martin, 48, said. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy. I’m not quite sure what to do.”

He added, “Holy s***. I hope we didn’t do something bad.”

The video appeared online by the next morning and quickly went viral, seemingly causing Byron and Cabot to deactivate their LinkedIn pages and Kerrigan Byron to deactivate her Facebook account.

What Have Byron and Cabot Said?

Neither Byron nor Cabot has broken their silence about the incident. A statement circulated on Thursday that appeared to be from Byron, but Astronomer told TMZ that it is “not real.” Us Weekly has reached out to both for comment.

What Has Astronomer Said?

Astronomer released a statement via its Linkedin page on Friday, July 18, announcing it has launched an investigation into the incident.

“Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the statement read. “The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”

Astronomer also confirmed that the statement from Byron circulating the previous day was, in fact, fake.

Adam Sandler Lets Julie Bowen Drive the 'Train' for Kissing Scenes

Julie Bowen is dusting off her golf shoes — and her onscreen romance with Adam Sandler.

“I love Adam. He’s a very respectful person, especially when it comes to, like, a kissing scene or something,” Bowen, 55, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of Happy Gilmore 2’s release. “I always feel like I can drive that train. He’s like, ‘Oh, you’re gonna gimme the tongue?’ And I was like, ‘I might! I might do it.’ … He’s wonderful. I love this person. I mean, I’m not married to him. That’s [his wife] Jackie. He has a beautiful family. But I love him deeply. [It’s] so easy to play with him.”

Nearly 30 years after first teeing off as tour publicist Virginia Venit in the 1996 slapstick comedy Happy Gilmore, Bowen is back for the long-awaited sequel that hits Netflix on Friday, July 25. But thanks to her son, she wasn’t always sure she’d make the cut.

“[My son] said, ‘Who are you gonna play in [the sequel]? And I said, ‘Well, I would play, if it happened, Virginia Venit, of course,’” Bowen recalled saying. “He goes, ‘But how? You’re so much older.’ I said, ‘But Adam and Happy, they’re old [too]!’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, I think he would have a younger girlfriend.’ I was like, ‘Huh. He might.’”

The conversation ultimately planted a seed of doubt in Bowen’s mind, which only grew over time as she and Sandler kept missing each other’s phone calls. Eventually, Bowen shot her old costar a text telling him she “understood” if he wanted to go in a different direction.

“I said, ‘If this is about a sequel and I’m not in it, don’t worry. I get it. You need to evolve and change. I love you. I’m always rooting for all your success.’ And he calls me, like, ‘Can you just shut up so I can tell you — I want you in the movie!’”  she said with a laugh.

Bowen is not the only familiar face to reprise their role in the sequel. Christopher McDonald comes back as Happy’s archenemy Shooter McGavin, and Ben Stiller once again plays Hal L., among many other returning stars. Some of the impressive new faces include The Substance’s Margaret Qualley, Travis Kelce and Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, a.k.a Bad Bunny, as Happy’s caddy.

As for Bowen’s role, Virginia is now Virginia Gilmore, and she and Happy share five children — the couple clearly have a “strong physical connection,” Bowen joked. In the film, Happy comes out of retirement to help pay for their daughter Vienna’s (played by Sandler’s 16-year-old daughter, Sunny) dream of attending an elite ballet school in Europe.

In true Sandler fashion, fans can expect plenty of laughs from the sequel, but according to Bowen, the movie’s emotional core hits closest to home as it’s rooted in family — something that reflects her own life as well as her leading man’s.

“[Virginia and Happy] both really connected over having a family and having kids and putting them first,” Bowen explained. “And that is ripped out of Adam’s life and mine. We both feel the same way. Like, it doesn’t really matter as long as the kids come first.” (Bowen shares son Oliver, 18, and twins John and Gustav, 16, with ex-husband Scott Phillips, while Adam shares daughters Sadie, 19, and Sunny with wife Jackie Sandler.)

Still, returning as Happy’s love interest was a little intimidating. “It was a lot less scary in 1996 [when] we shot Happy Gilmore, because Adam, he wasn’t unknown, but [he] didn’t have Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore and this list of people that he’s worked with over and over again,” she joked. “I was, you know, a little intimidated to be playing his girlfriend!”

Despite any nerves, the pair’s chemistry is still as strong as ever, both on screen and off. Bowen credits that bond to Adam’s upstanding and kind nature. It’s something she said hasn’t changed a bit over the past three decades.

“Everybody wants to feel like they’re home, and Adam does that for hundreds of people,” she told Us. “When he talks about all the cameos and the guest stars, he doesn’t talk about getting a good performance out of them. He talks about thanking them for giving up their time, for standing around for 12 hours and doing their part. That has never changed.”
