Jonathan Owens kicked off the Sunday, December 22, Chicago Bears football game with his usual pre-kickoff kiss from his wife, Simone Biles.

Biles, 27, met up with Owens, 29, on the sidelines of Chicago’s Soldier Field on Sunday afternoon before the game began where he gave the Olympic gymnast a sweet peck on the cheek.

Biles turned up to watch her husband’s NFL team take on the Detroit Lions in a cozy-chic outfit. She sported a black puffer coat with a matching fuzzy bucket hat from Prada.

For glam, Biles rocked her hair down in braided locs.

Simone Biles' Husband Gives His Best Gymnastics Salute After Forced Fumble

The gymnast and Owens have been married since April 2023 and they are frequent supporters of one another’s careers. For Biles, she’s a fixture at Owen’s NFL games, where they often share a kiss before kickoff.

Owens also likes to cheer on Biles at gymnastics meets, even receiving special permission to skip a few days of Bears training camp to watch her in the Paris Olympics this past summer.

“It is not much motivation you need to do, just because you don’t want to put extra, added pressure on anyone,” Owens exclusively told Us Weekly in July. “I just tell her, ‘Go do your thing, baby.’… As long as she’s there, she’s on the field, give her a kiss and we can go about our way.”

He continued at the time, “You get a different type of focus whenever you just have this one person that you’re focusing on. And I ain’t saying there’s something wrong with being single, but for me, knowing myself, I’ve played a lot better since [meeting Simone], I’ve just been focused and locked in, and you come home, talk about my day and play with the dogs, you know what I mean? That’s just kind of, like, our thing.”

Owens has come a long way as he initially did not even recognize Biles when they crossed paths on the dating app Raya in 2020.

“[I] had been on [Raya] for a couple days and then she pops up. I’m like, ‘Lemme see who this is,’” the NFL safety recalled on “The Pivot” podcast in a December 2023 episode. “I never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity [and I was like], ‘I’ll see what’s up.’”

When they first met, Owens played for the Houston Texans, which is based nearby to Biles’ gymnastics training facility. After Biles and Owens tied the knot last year, they started building their dream home in the Lone Star State.

“At this point, we’ve waited so long for it to be built, we’ll just wait until after the [NFL] season to move in,” Biles told Us last month. “Right now, they’re doing all of the backyard stuff. Jonathan wanted a half-basketball court, a barbeque pit, all of the good stuff. We did put an in-ground trampoline and a pool.”

Biles continued, “We should be closing fairly soon. I go in two weeks to check on it again to see where we are, but we’re literally almost there.”

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City newcomer Britani Bateman is dating Jared Osmond, a member of the prominent family of the same name.

“When an angel comes into your life that brings you happiness, peace and love, you hold on with both hands,” Osmond, 54, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, December 22, alongside a slideshow of photos from the couple’s relationship. “Introducing my beautiful girlfriend, Britani Bateman.”

He captioned his post, “Yes, life is good with Britani by my side.”

Bateman, 53, reposted her boyfriend’s upload via her own Instagram Story.

Jared is the son of Virl Osmond, who is the brother of famous siblings Donny Osmond and Marie Osmond.

When Bateman first joined RHOSLC season 5 earlier this year as a “friend,” she revealed that she had been involved in an on-off relationship with Jared.

“I’ve known Britani for a few years, we’ve seen each other at events and have some mutual friends. She’s a messed-up Mormon [who] has been divorced, [who] has been through the wringer,” costar Heather Gay in the season premiere. “She’s dating Jared Osmond as in Osmond Osmond, the nephew of Donny and Marie, which in Mormon culture is the equivalent of dating Prince Harry. Until today.”

Batemen then confessed to Gay, 50, that “as of this morning,” she is “single and ready to mingle.”

“It’s you and me, baby,” Bateman continued to Gay, who is the only other single RHOSLC personality.

Bateman further claimed that she and Jared had broken up nearly “16 times.”

“Jared and I have been dating eight months, and we’ve broken up 16 times, I want to say.  A lot,” Bateman later said in a confessional. “I feel like I’m on this hamster wheel of dating other people, breaking up, and getting back together. It’s like, ‘Ugh, I’m a crazy person,’ but there’s just something about him. Mm, he’s yummy.”

On-Again, Off-Again Celebrity Couples

In her debut season, Bateman has already made a splash amongst the Utah ladies. It is, however, too early to say if she could hold her own snowflake in a potential season 6.

“I think at this point, especially if you look at Miami Housewives, I think the lines between ‘friend’ and Housewife, you know, have become a little blurred,” executive producer Andy Cohen exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “I think that it means, we use you at our discretion a little differently, maybe, but I’m not sure that it matters as long as they’re part of the ensemble.”

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck had a good reason for scaling back her social media usage.

“Choosing to step away from social media has been one of the best things I’ve done for my mental health,” Affleck, 25, wrote via Instagram Story on Saturday, December 21. “I can’t lie — these months have been some of the toughest I’ve faced, but they’ve also helped me gain clarity about myself, my relationships and the mother and friend I aspire to be.”

Affleck is best known as an influencer in the “#MomTok” group, where she often posts social media content about her lifestyle as a young Mormon mom. (Affleck is a #MomTok member alongside Taylor Frankie Paul, Jessi Ngatikaura, Demi Engemann, Whitney Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews, Layla Taylor and Mayci Neeley.)

Jen, for her part, shares two kids with husband Zac Affleck: Nora, 2, and Luca, 16 months.

Is Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jen Affleck Leaving MomTok for Good?

All of the MomTokkers participated in season 1 of Hulu’s Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The show appeared to cause friction in Jen’s marriage as Zac claimed in the finale he was done after she nearly went to a Chippendales revue in Las Vegas. (Jen and Zac, like most of the cast members, are devout members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints.)

“I definitely think it was the best thing to happen to our relationship. While watching the show, a lot of people are going to think that maybe this would break our relationship apart. But if anything, it did the opposite,” Jen exclusively told Us Weekly in September. “Being on camera and having those moments happen made us take a step back and actually look at a relationship and make us just see what we have to change.”

She continued, “Ever since we finished filming, we’ve been doing nonstop therapy and it’s been great. So if anything, [watching the show] is just going to be exposure therapy at this point.”

Jen and Zac, whose family claims to be distantly related to Ben Affleck, have since left their Utah hometown for New York. Zac now attends medical school in the Big Apple.

They have also weathered divorce speculation when Jen appeared to post social media videos without her wedding ring. They have continually shut down the rumors.

“Is Zac perfect? No. Does he have flaws that we’ve needed to address? Yes. But I can confidently say he’s always supported and believed in me more than anyone else,” Jen wrote via Instagram in September. “We’re still young, we have two precious babies, and we still have struggles like so many marriages,” she continued. “But do we love each other? Yes. Are we willing to put in the work to be better? Yes. Have there been moments when we wanted to walk away? Of course. But there’s so much more to our marriage and what we offer to each other than people realize.”

Professional boxer Tyson Fury lost his big match to Oleksandr Usyk, subsequently storming out of the ring.

According to footage shared via Sky Sports, Fury, 36, hastily exited the boxing ring after the 12 rounds concluded on Saturday, December 21.

“I swear to God, I thought I won by three rounds,” Fury told reporters later that night. “I thought I won the fight again. I was on the front foot the entire time. When you don’t get the knockout, this is what can happen.”

Meet Boxer Tyson Fury’s Family: His Wife, 7 Kids, Famous Brother and More

Saturday’s fight was a rematch for Fury and Usyk, 37, in a bid to retain the world championship title belt. They first fought in May, which Usyk won in a split decision. He won in a landslide the second time.

“I feel like I won both fights. I know I had to knock him out but it’s boxing and this happens. There is no doubt in my mind I won this fight,” Fury said in a press conference that night. “I’m not going to cry over spilled milk, it’s over now.”

He added, “I’ve been in boxing my whole life but I’ll always feel a little bit hard done by — not a little bit, a lot.”

Fury had been so locked into the fight that he even ceased speaking to his wife, Paris, and their seven children during training.

“I’ve been away from my wife and kids for three months. I’ve not spoken to Paris at all in three months,” Fury told Queensbury Promotions earlier this week. “I’ve sacrificed a lot.”

Fury and Paris share daughters Venezuela, 15, Valencia, 7, and Athena, 3, as well as sons Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson, 8, and Prince Adonis Amaziah, 5. They have been among his biggest supporters.

Boxer Tyson Fury Hasn’t Spoken to His Wife in 3 Months During Training

“To get a woman who’s been with you all that time and gone through … the good times and the bad times … [for her] to still be there when you don’t want to be and when you’re being forced away and you’re being pushed out, that takes a very strong individual,” Tyson previously told The Overlap in a September 2021 interview.

Fury’s two losses to Usyk are the only two times he’s not proved victorious throughout his entire athletic career.

“I feel very good. I’ve sparred more than I’ve sparred in years and I’ve been able to do stuff that I’ve always been able to do,” Fury had told Queensbury Promotions ahead of the matchup. “I’d be the first one to say, ‘You know what, I’m finished,’ but I ain’t, I’m very far from that, feeling very good. I cannot wait for the fight Saturday night. I’ll end his career. You’ll never hear from Oleksandr Usyk after this.”

Teen Witch star Robyn Lively reacted to the news that her sister, Blake Lively, sued It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and intentionally trying to sabotage her career.

“FINALLY justice for my sister @blakelively,” Robyn, 52, wrote via Instagram Story on Saturday, December 21, sharing screenshots of a New York Times article about Blake’s recent legal filing.

In a follow-up slide, Robyn asked her social media followers to “please read” the Times coverage. She also tagged Blake’s account, drawing a rainbow heart around it.

News broke several hours earlier that Blake, 37, accused Baldoni, 40, of causing her “severe emotional distress” on the set of It Ends With Us. (Baldoni and Lively costarred in the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, which he also directed, about the abusive relationship between their characters.)

Blake Lively Claims Justin Baldoni Texted About Ruining Her Reputation

Blake further claimed that Baldoni fostered a “hostile work environment” and launched a “social manipulation” campaign to dry and destroy the actress’ reputation.

Baldoni categorically denied the allegations in a statement provided to Us Weekly by his attorney, Bryan Freedman. According to Freedman, the claims are “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” and the court motion was allegedly filed to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” regarding the film’s production.

Freedman also claimed that Blake made “multiple demands and threats” while filming It Ends With Us, including “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met.”

Blake, who also served as an executive producer, subsequently issued a response to Freedman’s claims.

“I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,” she said in a Saturday statement, denying Freedman’s accusations.

Before It Ends With Us premiered in theaters earlier this year, there were widespread rumors of a feud between Blake and Baldoni but neither ever publicly addressed the speculation.

“There were two camps on the film — team Blake and team Justin,” a source exclusively told Us at the time. “This creative struggle set the tone for the negative experience behind the scenes and grew into them not speaking anymore.”

Robyn Lively Cosigns Defense of Blake Lively Amid 'It Ends With Us' Drama

According to the insider, Baldoni felt “his vision wasn’t as important as Blake’s,” which apparently “stifled the creativity on set.”

Costar Brandon Sklenar was one of the few It Ends With Us actors to address the apparent situation.

“Vilifying the women who put so much of their heart and soul into making this film because they believe so strongly in its message seems counterproductive and detracts from what this film is about,” he wrote via Instagram in August. “It is, in fact, the opposite of the point. What may or may not have happened behind the scenes does not and hopefully should not detract from what our intentions were in making this film. It’s been disheartening to see the amount of negativity being projected online.”

Sklenar, 34, continued, “Ultimately it’s meant to spread love and awareness. It is not meant to once again, make the women the ‘bad guy,’ let’s move beyond that together. All I ask is that before you spread hate on the internet, ask yourself who its helping. Ask yourself if your opinions are based in any fact. Or if you simply want to be part of something. Let’s be part of something better together. A part of a new story being written for women and all people everywhere.”

Pregnant Brittany Mahomes honored the whole family with her outfit at the Saturday, December 21, Kansas City Chiefs game.

Mahomes, 29, stepped out in a winter-white ensemble of a turtleneck sweater, wide-leg fleece pants and matching boots.

To accommodate the chilly Missouri temperature, Mahomes topped off her look with a long, white peacoat. The jacket featured “15” and an illustrated football play on one shoulder in red thread. The other read, “Sterling,” Bronze” and “Baby Girl” to represent her and husband Patrick Mahomes’ three kids.

Brittany and 29-year-old Patrick, who wears No. 15 on his football jersey, are parents to Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 20 months. They are also currently expecting baby No. 3, another daughter.

Brittany brought both Sterling and Bronze to Patrick’s Saturday afternoon game against the Houston Texans. The Chiefs won 27-19.

“Feeling that Win a little extra today 15 we are proud of you,” Brittany wrote via Instagram on Saturday.

For glam, Brittany wore her signature blonde locks in a wavy ponytail and rocked a pale pink lipstick.

Ahead of the game, Brittany took the kids to the sidelines to give Patrick a trio of good luck hugs and kisses before kickoff. Saturday’s game was the Chiefs last home matchup of the regular season. Next, they play the Pittsburgh Steelers on their Pennsylvania turf on Wednesday, December 25, ahead of the playoffs.

Three-time Super Bowl champ Patrick has had the sideline support of Brittany since they started dating in high school.

“He doesn’t get nervous or stressed at all. That’s just what he likes to do,” Brittany said during an August appearance on the “WHOOP” podcast, noting she gets more anxious about the games. “I think he loves going into a new week having new game plans, having new challenges, having new people that he’s playing.”

’Tis the season for Colin Jost and Michael Che’s annual “Weekend Update” joke swap on Saturday Night Live — and this time Jost’s wife, Scarlett Johansson, was front and center in the audience.

During the Saturday, December 21, episode, Jost, 42, asked, “Why?” when he saw a photo of Johansson, 40, flash on the screen.

“I want to dedicate this next joke to my boo, Scarlett Johansson,” Jost said with a laugh.

The camera then cut to the actress backstage, shaking her head while holding a glass of water.

“No, oh no,” Jost continued. “She’s so genuinely worried. … Hey, boo. Y’all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday, which means I’m about to get up out of there.”

Jost and Johansson both burst out laughing, with the Black Widow star adding, “Oh, my gosh. Why?”

Che, 41, then pointed out that “there’s a little more” to the joke.

“Nah, nah, I’m just playing. We just had a kid together and y’all ain’t see no pictures of him yet ‘cause he black as hell,” Jost read aloud. “S—, I ain’t afraid of you mofos.”

Johansson, who shares 3-year-old son Cosmo with Jost, then took a sip of her beverage and added, “Oh, s—.”

Jost and Che have kept up with their annual holiday tradition throughout their joint tenure on SNL. During the final episode of the year, they secretly write jokes for one another. The two comedians only find out what the other penned live on the air, which often causes “panic” for Johansson.

“I now rarely watch [SNL] without having a sense of … not overwhelming panic, just like a slight underwhelming panic because I just feel like at any moment something’s going to fall apart,” Johansson said during a July 2021 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “And that’s the excitement of SNL and for all audiences, right? Because it’s absolutely live.”

Scarlett Johansson 'Fully Blacked Out' During ‘SNL’ Joke About Her Body

She continued at the time, “But when you’re emotionally invested in it and not just entertained by it, it takes on a little bit of a different life.”

Jost and Johansson initially met when she hosted an episode of SNL, later getting married in 2020. On Saturday, she also appeared in the cold open to celebrate emcee Martin Short.

Since the holiday show was former cast member Short’s fifth time hosting, he finally received an invite to the elusive Five-Timers Club. Johansson, Tom Hanks, Tina Fey and Short’s BFF-turned-collaborator Steve Martin helped welcome him to the ranks.

Saturday Night Live airs on NBC Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET.

Torrey DeVitto is officially a mom, welcoming her first baby just in time for the holiday season.

“Happy birthday to my husband, the man who makes all my dreams come true daily,” the Chicago Med alum, 40, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, December 21. “The greatest accomplishment I’ve ever achieved was giving our daughter an incredible dad like you. We love you so much .”

DeVitto uploaded a pic of husband Jared LaPine holding the infant skin-to-skin after her birth.

According to LaPine’s Instagram, his wife gave birth on November 21. They named their daughter Lyle-Josephine Alina.

LaPine, 34, also honored his wife in a social media post.

“As I sit on my hospital bed, watching my wife hold our gorgeous newborn baby girl, I would like to take a moment to praise this beautiful, strong, and amazing woman,” he gushed via Instagram late last month. “The past 9 months of her pregnancy, I have watched my wife put our baby first in EVERYTHING she has done. I have watched countless nights of no sleep, excruciating acid-reflux, horrible aversions, and intense hormones.”

LaPine continued, “We were induced Monday morning at 7:30am and little Lyle-Josephine didn’t come until Thursday at 4:19pm. It was a struggle like nothing I have ever seen before and it completely terrified me. Torrey is the strongest person I have ever met. Period. She did all of this so that our little girl would be healthy as humanly possible. She succeeded tremendously.”

LaPine further gushed that he felt “so lucky” to “watch and learn” from DeVitto, already calling her “the best mother in the world.”

“What a special gift that is and thank you for making me a dad! I love BOTH of you girls with everything I have,” he concluded.

Torrey DeVitto Hints at Not Liking 1 of Her 'Chicago Med' Costars

The actress and LaPine met through DeVitto’s cousin, going Instagram official in June 2023. Three months later, Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that LaPine proposed.

DeVitto and LaPine announced they were expecting a baby in May of this year and they tied the knot in September.

“It is definitely the most incredible, amazing, miraculous experience I’ve ever gone through,” she exclusively told Us Weekly of her pregnancy later that month. “To feel her roll and swish and kick and all those things, it’s truly mind-blowing. It’s something I could have never wrapped my head around without experiencing.”

At the time, DeVitto praised “supportive” LaPine for stepping up “in all the ways” throughout the journey.

“He’s always giving me leg massages, foot massages, back massages. And he definitely doesn’t make me feel dramatic,” she told Us. “He’s very, very, very supportive, which has been so lovely.”

Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky knew there was “speculation around [her] body transformation” before it was announced that she participated on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 3.

“[It] was a little difficult for me because I wanted to share with people [who] would be like, ‘How did you do it?’” Fedotowsky, 40, exclusively told Us Weekly. “I lost 20 pounds training for the show. I was working out two to three times a day. My whole day. This was my job for two months. I put everything else to the side.”

According to Fedotowsky, her husband, Kevin Manno, “even took over” parenting children Molly, 8, and Riley, 6, so she could get in shape for Special Forces.

“I was training hardcore. And so, for me, I kept saying to people online, I’m like, ‘Oh, well, I work out two times a day,’” Fedotowsky said. “I know that’s not possible for most moms out there. Moms are busy or people have jobs. I couldn’t tell people this was my job for two months.”

Ali Fedotowsky Worked Out 'All Day Every Day' to Train for 'Special Forces'

She added, “So, now I’m happy that I can finally tell people, ‘Look, my transformation is not normal. It was my job for two months. That’s why I was able to make this happen. Don’t compare yourself to me.’ That was difficult for me not to have that honest conversation.”

Fedotowsky wanted to get in better shape before she took on the Special Forces courses. In addition to focusing on fitness, the Bachelor Nation star also followed the advice she received from past recruits.

“I talked to Hannah Brown, Beverley Mitchell and Nick Viall, and Beverley told me, ‘Do breathing exercises, focus on the mental.’ That actually really helped me,” Fedotowsky told Us. “I looked into Wim Hof breathing exercises, I was doing meditation and I hired a breathing coach. I really went through it.”

Viall, 44, competed on season 2 of Special Forces with Mitchell, 43, and expressed to Fedotowsky that the show was “way harder than it looks.”

“He’s like, ‘You are going to be so upset when you watch the show and you see all the stuff they don’t show. It’s a TV show. They have to cut [it] down,’” Fedotowsky recalled.  “He’s like, ’It’s going to eat you alive.’ But you’re like, ‘Oh, I didn’t see that we were going through that.’ Or when you saw Tyler Cameron puke last season, you’re like, ‘Why do you puke? Didn’t look that hard.’ It’s, like, ‘Well, it must’ve been that hard vomiting.’ And so there was that. I think the overall sense I got from the past cast members is they were just so grateful to be a part of it. They’re like, ‘This is going to change your life.’”

How Bachelor Nation Has Performed on ‘Special Forces’

Special Forces changed Fedotowsky’s life too.

“I wanted to prove I was a badass. I’m like, ‘I want to prove myself physically. I want to train as hard as I can, make it to the end. There was no quitting in my mind,’” she told Us. “My girlfriend made me a ring and the inside said, ‘Keep beeping going,’ and she’s like, ‘No matter what.’ I couldn’t wear the ring on the show ’cause you can’t wear jewelry, but I kept thinking about it. ‘Keep going, keep going. Just keep beeping going.’”

Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test premieres on Fox Wednesday, January 8, at 8 p.m. ET.

Oliver Hudson has wondered about his identity through the years.

“As far as identity goes, like, I don’t really know who the f— I am,” Hudson, 48, said during the Friday, December 20, episode of his “Sibling Revelry” podcast. “I’m, like, ‘Well, what makes me happy? Fishing? I love to fish, I have a boat. Nature, yes, OK, but, like, who am I? What am I doing?’”

He added, “I’m almost 50, you know, I have existential crises, like, maybe six [to] eight times a day just trying to figure out, ‘Who am I, do I have ADHD — of course I do — wait, do I? Should I get tested?’”

Podcast guest Jennie Garth then asked, “What does it all really matter?” According to Hudson, “It doesn’t.”

Everything Siblings Kate, Oliver Hudson Have Said About Childhood, Family

“I put a lot of pressure on myself to provide [and] match the standards of my family, which [is] not put upon them in any way. That’s my own bulls—,” he explained. “Where Kate’s a star, my little brother now is a f—ing star, my parents are stars and, like, people would kill for my career.”

Oliver is the eldest child of exes Bill Hudson and Goldie Hawn, who also share daughter Kate Hudson. After Bill and Hawn, 79, split, Hawn moved on with longtime love Kurt Russell. Together, they share son Wyatt Russell, who is also an actor. (Oliver and Kate, 45, have been estranged from Bill, 75, for many years, often referring to Kurt, 73, as a parental figure.)

“In the same point, I’m, like, ‘Well, I’m the black sheep,’” Oliver added on Friday of the comparisons to his relatives. “It’s such a f—ing ridiculous thing to think. It’s all bulls—. It’s what you put upon yourself.”

According to Oliver, he “wouldn’t be me without” those thoughts.

“But at the same time, when I have those moments … where I am on top of the world, I don’t know why, I’m buzzing,” Oliver added. “I feel like I can do anything and I’m like, ‘I want to live in that space all the time.’ I can’t.”

Garth, 52, chimed in to ask whether Oliver ever “looked in the mirror and said, ‘I love you.’”

“No, no, [but] I should,” Oliver said. “It’s about self-love [and] self-worth, which I have been lacking all my life. So, to look at myself in the mirror and to actually feel that and say it honestly, I’d probably use humor to deflect those true emotions. I do wake up, like, ‘It’s gonna be a great f—ing day today.’ I try to create that energy.”

Dennis Rodman and his youngest daughter, Trinity, have had ups and downs over the years.

Rodman and ex-wife Michelle Moyer welcomed Trinity in 2002, one year after the birth of son DJ. (Rodman also shares eldest daughter Alexis with ex-wife Annie Bakes.)

More than 20 years later, Trinity declared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that the NBA legend was “not a dad” to her.

“Maybe by blood, but nothing else,” she said in December 2024. “ I don’t want to say negatively, but more realistic about it. We tried to be that foundation and to be the good people around him. Because in reality, we never really asked for anything unless we really needed it. … He’s never understood that people could actually just want to be around him and to just want to make him happy.”

According to Trinity, Rodman’s lifestyle impacted his ability to be a good husband and father.

“We tried to live with him, but he’s having parties 24/7. He’s bringing random bitches in,” she claimed. “My mom didn’t want — she was strong enough to deal with it because even to this day, I still believe that my dad hasn’t loved anyone after my mom. I think my mom just saw the situation of, ‘We love each other. It’s not gonna work, or my kids, I can’t have them seeing you treat me this way, embarrass me this way and have the party scene all the time.’”

After Moyer and Rodman split, the kids primarily resided with their mother.

Keep scrolling to revisit Rodman’s ups and downs with daughter Trinity:

May 2002

Trinity, the second child of Rodman and Moyer, was born in May. As noted on “Call Her Daddy,” she was Rodman’s “little princess.”

June 2006

Rodman and Moyer made a rare red carpet appearance with DJ and Trinity at the Los Angeles premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man’s Chest. They continued to support Rodman at his 2011 jersey retirement ceremony and more public events despite alleged drama at home.

2012

After Rodman and Moyer finalized their divorce, DJ and Trinity primarily lived with their mom.

“We were seeing him once, two, three, four times a year,” Trinity recalled on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in 2024. “Every time they were together, it was the same s—. It was my mom being valid and ‘What the f— are you doing? Help us and help your children.’”

At one point, Trinity claimed that her family lived in a car because Rodman stopped financially providing for them.

“That was all the fight was ever about, in front of us at least,” she said. “It was just the money party and helping your children.”

Later that year, Rodman was ordered to pay Moyer $500,000 in back child support.

“He’s kinda rad,” Trinity wrote in an Instagram tribute, sharing a pic of the father-daughter pair.

November 2021

Rodman attended one of Trinity’s pro soccer matches during her rookie year with the Washington Spirit. While they were photographed hugging ahead of the match, she later broke down in tears.

“I think it’s like halfway through the first half and I hear [his voice],” she recalled on her “Call Her Daddy” episode. “I’m like, ‘Oh my f—ing gosh, like, there’s no way this is happening right now.’ Mind you, I haven’t seen him in or talked to him in months. I was like, ‘You took this happy moment for me, like, you f—ed with my head again.”

After the soccer game, Rodman allegedly stopped reaching out to Trinity.

April 2022

“I love you, dad,” she wrote via Instagram.

December 2024

During Trinity’s “Call Her Daddy” appearance, she claimed that Rodman resumed communication earlier that year.

“I answer the phone now for my conscience. If something does happen, God forbid, I want to know that I did that,” she said. “Or if he needed to hear my voice before anything happens. That’s why I answer the phone, not for me.”

Trinity’s claims sparked a response from Rodman, who apologized in a lengthy Instagram note.

“Sorry I wasn’t the dad you wanted me to be but either way I still tried and I still try and never will stop. I will keep trying even when you’re being told as an adult not to respond to my phone calls,” he wrote. “I will try even when it’s difficult and if it takes a long time. I’m always here and tell you all the time, whether it’s your voice or voicemail, how proud I am.”

Rodman added, “I always had one wish and it was I wish my kids would call me and come see me. Hopefully, one day I can get that. I’m here and I’m still trying to pick up the phone you have my number, You see me calling, I’m still here.”

In response to Rodman’s message, Trinity alleged it was all done for “the attention.”

“Wiping my hands with it. I’m done,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “Thank you.”

Mauricio Umansky began casually dating after he and Kyle Richards separated in July 2023 — and hasn’t stopped.

“He is dating around and is having fun,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2024. “He’s a happy-go-lucky kind of guy and can’t sit still when it comes to dating and traveling right now. He likes his freedom. Mauricio doesn’t want anything serious.”

Umansky married The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Richards in 1996, subsequently becoming stepfather to her daughter Farrah from her first marriage. He and Richards later welcomed daughters Alexia, Sophia and Portia.

After two decades together, Umansky and Richards confirmed that they were taking time apart without ever filing for divorce. Umansky moved into a new home in May 2024.

“I’m, like, thinking about you in this condo with no dogs, no gates ringing,” Richards told Umansky in a December 2024 episode of RHOBH. “You literally have, like, no responsibilities over there. Free as a f—ing breeze, aren’t you?”

According to Richards, the Agency founder signed a six-month lease so that they could have time to “assess where [they’re] at.”

“You live your life, I live my life, and maybe we’ll reconvene in six months or so and see what happens. I don’t know,” Richards added in a confessional, later agreeing with Camille Grammer that Umansky’s actions appear to align with a “mid-life crisis.”

For Umansky, living his life includes dipping his toe back into the dating pool. Keep scrolling for a breakdown of all the women he’s been linked to amid the separation:

Emma Slater

Umansky danced with Slater on Dancing With the Stars season 32, sparking dating rumors off the ballroom floor. They were spotted holding hands at a dinner in Beverly Hills in October 2023 and shut down the romantic speculation within days, explaining that they simply formed a “very special” friendship.

Umansky and Slater were eliminated several weeks later, telling Us that they planned to stay in touch.

“I really think that Mauricio is someone who’s going to be in my life forever,” Slater told Us in May 2024. “We really do click. We sort of went through difficult times at the same time together and were each other’s confidants. It was a really nice season. Difficult for both of us, but we’re really really grateful that we had each other.”

Slater came up on RHOBH when it was revealed that Umansky replaced an old photo of him and Richards in his home office with a photo of him and the dancer.

Mystery Blonde in Austin

An eyewitness told Us in November 2023 that Umansky flirted with an unidentified woman at Soho House Austin.

“He was all over her,” the source said. “There was no kissing, but they were getting very close. … They were definitely having fun together, and she was into it. They left together with the group.”

Anitta and Lele Pons

Umansky spent the 2023 holidays skiing in Aspen with Pons, who he met during DWTS season 32, and Anitta. In an Instagram selfie, the two women wore towels. It was then presumed that Umansky had been dating the singer since Pons is married. Richards subsequently claimed that the dating rumors were “not true.”

Alexandria Wolfe

Elsewhere in his 2023 Aspen getaway, Umansky enjoyed dinner with influencer Wolfe.

Nikita Kahn

The Buying Beverly Hills star was photographed kissing Kahn at the Mykonos airport in July 2024.

Klaudia K

Umansky and the model were seen kissing in Aspen in December 2024, but a source asserted to Us their connection was “not serious.”

Eryl Masters

Umansky was spotted cuddling up to local model Masters in Aspen in December 2024, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail.

UPDATE: 12/20/24, 1:03 p.m. ET — During a Friday, December 20, public appearance at a reception at the Waltham Forest Town Hall, King Charles III was asked about his wellbeing.

“I’m still alive,” he joked, per online footage.

Original story continues below:

King Charles III is reportedly expected to continue his cancer treatment going into the new year.

ABC News confirmed on Friday, December 20 via a source that Charles’ continued treatment is part of a “managed condition” and already headed in a “positive direction.”

Charles, 75, is also expected to continue participating in public-facing engagements and duties in 2025.

Buckingham Palace confirmed earlier this year that the king had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer.

Palace Shares Update on King Charles' Travel Plans Amid Cancer Battle

“I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,” Charles said in February. “As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.”

He added, “It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations [that] support cancer patients and their families across the U.K. and wider world. My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience.”

Charles briefly paused his public duties to undergo an undisclosed type of treatment. He made his public return in April.

“His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis,” the palace noted in a statement at the time. “His Majesty’s medical team are very encouraged by the progress made so far and remain positive about the King’s continued recovery.”

Per the statement, all of Charles’ engagements would be “adapted where necessary to minimize any risks” to aid his recovery.

King Charles III Says He's 'So Proud' of Kate Middleton for Her Courage

Weeks later, Charles and wife Queen Camilla met with other cancer patients at a Cancer Research UK site. When one asked how Charles was doing, he replied, “Not too bad.”

By June, Camilla, 76, also gushed that her husband was “doing fine.”

“[He] won’t slow down and won’t do what he’s told,” she quipped.

Charles isn’t the only member of the royal family presently battling cancer as daughter-in-law Princess Kate Middleton confirmed her own diagnosis in March. She underwent chemotherapy treatment, which she finished in September.

“I didn’t know this year was going to be the year that I’ve just had,” she told attendees at her Together at Christmas carol service earlier this month. “The unplanned … but I think lots of people this year have had such challenging times, many who are here today.”

Kate, 42, has not publicly shared further details of her cancer battle and treatment.

Before The Gilded Age returns with its third season, star Kelli O’Hara is giving Us a peek into the “exciting” batch of new episodes.

“What can I tease? Without being sued,” O’Hara, 48, joked while speaking to Us Weekly exclusively at the opening night of Gypsy on Broadway on Thursday, December 19, in New York City. “You’re going to see some of the same players. You’re going to also see some fantastic new guest artists. My story line, I should say, changes a lot.”

She added, “That’s pretty exciting for me. We’ll see what everybody thinks about it.”

Created by Downton Abbey’s Julian Fellowes, the HBO drama is set against the backdrop of 1880s America in the “Gilded Age,” a historical period marked by immense economic change. The show follows Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) as she relocates from rural Pennsylvania to New York City to live with her wealthy aunts (played by Christine Baranski and Cynthia Nixon) after her father’s death.

From New York, With Love! What ‘The Gilded Age’ Cast Looks Like Off Screen

O’Hara, for her part, portrays socialite Aurora Fane, who struck up a friendship with Marian upon her arrival in the Big Apple. Aurora has more notable connections than just the Manhattan newcomer.

“Last season I got to interact with Oscar Wilde, which is pretty fantastic. Let’s see more of that,” O’Hara told Us, referring to Jordan Waller’s role as the acclaimed poet. “People that were kind of groundbreaking at the time. Aurora Fane always likes to just skirt on the edge. So, I think that more of [the] Oscar Wilde-types [in the new episodes would be interesting].”

Since The Gilded Age takes place in the 19th century, the Tony Award winner and her castmates film in historic settings for added authenticity.

The Gilded Age's Louisa Jacobson Wants More 'Delicious Drama' in Season 3

“One of the things that really pissed me off, excuse my language, was that they would have these opulent six-hour dinner parties that went from 9:00 p.m. to 3 in the morning or whatever it was,” O’Hara quipped on Thursday. “And with 22 courses of crazy food brought in from Europe and the islands, but the women weren’t expected to eat a thing. Woo … that chaps my hide.”

In addition to The Gilded Age, O’Hara is renowned for her work on the stage. While speaking with Us, she teased her hopes for future theatrical roles.

“Right now, I’m deeply in the middle of Sally Field‘s masterpiece of a memoir and it sort of makes me want to play that [in] some very dramatic way,” O’Hara mused. “I don’t know if it would be musicalized, but the stories of most of the actresses that really thrill me and that have emotionally exploded me have to do with some really hard living. I mean, even Julie Andrews had a harrowing childhood.”

As part of Liam Payne’s death investigation, the singer’s friend Roger Nores testified about his drug history.

“I was a friend who loved him very much, who helped him selflessly in everything I could, who spent my own money to help him, and even then it was not enough,” Nores wrote in a recent court filing obtained by Rolling Stone. “I do not consider that I deserve the accusation that is being leveled at me.”

Nores had been accused of abandoning Payne ahead of his death. The One Direction singer, who was 31, suffered a fatal fall from a third-story hotel balcony in Argentina in October. An autopsy revealed that Payne sustained multiple injuries and had various drugs in his system.

Payne had previously been candid about his struggles with substance abuse and past visits to rehab facilities. Nores detailed his knowledge of Payne’s history in the court filing, which is not a deposition.

5 Men to Be Questioned in Liam Payne Death Investigation Later This Month

“Because of his addictions, Payne continued to attend rehab centers of his own free will in an attempt to overcome them,” Nores said. “Unfortunately, these treatments were not successful and his addiction worsened as he began to use harder drugs, such as heroin.”

Citing one incident in September 2023, Nores claimed that Payne “suffered from a severe intoxication that left him close to death”, and apparently left him hospitalized in Milan. Nores further alleged that Payne was hospitalized twice in London later that year.

“Professionals had to resort to resuscitation maneuvers to save his life, without his family or friends being able to do anything to avoid these situations or help him,” the documents add.

According to Nores, Payne’s addiction struggles then began to worsen.

“Liam suffered a new relapse in his addiction, so he was again taken to the hospital in serious condition, and the professionals had to resort to resuscitation maneuvers to save his life,” Nores claimed, adding that Payne only started to use drugs again by August of this year.

Inside Liam Payne's Legacy: From One Direction to His Haunting Final Days

Nores further denied that he abandoned Payne while knowing the musician wasn’t able to care for himself, reiterating comments he made last month.

“I never abandoned Liam. I went to his hotel 3 times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened,” Nores told the Daily Mail in November. “There were over 15 people at the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left. I could have never imagined something like this would happen.”

He added at the time, “I wasn’t Liam’s manager; he was just my very dear friend … I’m really heartbroken with this tragedy, and I’ve been missing my friend every day.”

Payne was laid to rest in November after his body was repatriated back to his native England. He is survived by his parents, his sisters and his 7-year-old son, whom he shared with ex Cheryl Cole.

Many star athletes know there’s no “I” in team and go all-out to celebrate their fellow players on holidays.

Patrick Mahomes, the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, makes sure to show his appreciation for his fellow members of the team’s offense.

“I got the o-line a gift that they got today. I got them some golf clubs, some designer luggage to take on the road and some other little things here and there that they could have,” Mahomes revealed during a December 2022 appearance on Audacy’s “The Drive” radio show. “I tried to get everyone a little something. All the o-line’s telling me they wanna golf, so I got them all custom fitted golf clubs, so hopefully they can pick up their game and they’ll be able to go out and play a few rounds with me.”

Mahomes, an avid golfer himself, upped the ante the next year. For the 2023 holidays, Mahomes gave the entire o-line customized golf carts.

Celebrities Who Are Great at Gift-Giving: Photos

“I was trying to get out of the parking lot and everybody’s just flying around [in the carts],” teammate Travis Kelce revealed during a December 2023 episode of his “New Heights” podcast. “Those things are street legal, so they’re going about 35 miles per hour.”

Patrick Mahomes

Mahomes gave his fellow offensive players custom golf carts in December 2023.

“I got that golf cart, the club car, at home and I’m like, ‘Man, this is sweet.’ I was thinking of [gift] ideas and I wanted to change it up from what I’ve done in past years,” he said in a Chiefs press conference. “I figured I’d get them something I really enjoy. … They enjoyed it [and] were going around Arrowhead [Stadium in them].”

He added: “They do a lot for me, so I’m gonna take care of them as well.”

In December 2024, Mahomes presented his offensive line teammates with a red Yeti cooler packed with a variety of luxurious goodies including a silver Rolex watch and Normatec Elite compression boots.

Shohei Ohtani 

Before the Japanese pitcher signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2023, Dodgers player Joe Kelly’s wife, Ashley, lobbied hard for Ohtani to join the team with her #Ohtake17 social media campaign. After Ohtani officially signed with the Dodgers, he gave Ashley a new car.

“It’s yours. From Shohei. He wanted to gift you a Porsche,” a delivery driver told a stunned Ashley in a December 2023 Instagram video.

Aaron Rodgers

Back when Rodgers played for the Green Bay Packers, he celebrated his teammates during Christmas 2017 by giving them ATVs.

“So you could call this the best Christmas gift ever. Thank you @AaronRodgers12 for this awesome @PolarisORV! These things are ridiculous,” Packers star Bryan Bulaga tweeted the following May.

The ATVs came in green and yellow to match the Packers’ colors.

Derrick Henry

The running back gave the Tennessee Titans o-line custom gold chains in December 2021. The braided chains were centered with a round “2K” medallion and a crown. The pendants had each athlete’s name, jersey number and core stats emblazoned on the back.

Christian McCaffrey

McCaffrey gave every member of the San Francisco 49ers offensive squad a fitted set of golf clubs and a bottle of tequila for the 2023 festive season.

“Any time you’re getting gifts, it’s always tough. You’ve got to get creative, you’ve got to do something that panders to everybody,” he said during a postgame press conference that December. “And I figured if they don’t play golf, they will at some point in their life, so better to be prepared than not. It’s nice to have a bag of clubs in your garage.”

Jalen Hurts

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback is a well-known fashion star, passing on his trendy styles to his teammates. For Christmas 2022, Hurts gave the offensive linemen Louis Vuitton duffle bags.

“Yeah, I’m not a big designer guy, [but] when we got those for Christmas, I was like, ‘That’s not bad … This is really nice,” offensive tackle Jordan Mailata said during a November 2023 episode of the “New Heights” podcast.

The next year, center Jason Kelce noted on “New Heights” that Hurts handed out white luxury watches to their teammates.

Russell Wilson

Before Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos, he never missed a beat in celebrating his Seattle Seahawks peers. In December 2019, Wilson gave the entire o-line $12,000 in Amazon stock. (Amazon is headquartered in Seattle.)

“You sacrifice your physical and mental well-being to protect me, which in turn allows me to provide care for my family,” he wrote in a letter at the time. “Now it is my turn to return the favor.”

Brock Purdy

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback gave out white Toyota trucks to the offensive line in December 2024.

“Alright, so we got five Sequoias, five Tundras,” he said in a social media video. “You guys can check ‘em out, but these are yours, so Merry Christmas. Appreciate you guys. Thanks for all you do.”

90 Day Fiancé star Shaeeda Sween has given birth to her and husband Bilal Hazziez’s rainbow baby, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal.

“After two days of labor, we joyfully welcomed our handsome son, Ayaan, on December 14, 2024, at 10:40 p.m.,” the couple shared in a statement. “Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude and love as we embrace this new chapter of parenthood. Welcome to the world, Baby Ayaan!”

In the family’s first portrait with their baby boy, Bilal, 46, cuddled the newborn while sitting on a couch. Shaeeda, 40, was all smiles as she was perched beside Bilal, resting a hand on Ayaan’s blanket.

Bilal and Shaeeda first chronicled their journey down the aisle on 90 Day season 9, often debating whether they wanted to expand their family.

Stars Who Welcomed Rainbow Babies After Miscarriages

“I have been trying to have this conversation with Bilal, but it’s always on deaf ears,” Shaeeda said in a November 2022 episode. “Every time I blink my eyes, I hear tick-tock. I feel as if I continue to wait, I could wait a lifetime.”

Bilal, for his part, has two older children from a previous relationship and thought he was done having kids when he met Shaeeda.

During season 7 of the Happily Ever After? spinoff reunion, Bilal announced that he changed his mind.

“When it comes to having children, I just realized, like, how much it’d mean to her,” Bilal said during the January 2023 tell-all.

Shaeeda suffered multiple miscarriages before the couple confirmed her pregnancy earlier this year.

“Happy Birthday to my lovely wife! Celebrating you and our new bundle of joy coming soon!!” Bilal wrote via Instagram in August. “This year, you’ve given us the most precious gift of all — our little one on the way.”

He added, “After experiencing two miscarriages we are beyond excited for our new addition to the family. As we prepare to welcome our child, I am filled with awe at the thought of our family growing and sharing our love in a new way. I feel incredibly blessed to walk this journey with you. Thank you for being the heart of our home and the light of my life. Here’s to celebrating you today and every day, and to the beautiful adventure that lies ahead.”

Bilal and Shaeeda found out in October that they were expecting a baby boy, gushing via Instagram that they couldn’t wait to “meet our little miracle.”

British singer-songwriter Joss Stone and her husband, Cody DaLuz, are expecting their fourth baby just one month after adopting a son.

“Honestly. Shocked was an understatement ,” Stone, 37, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, December 19, sharing a video of herself looking at a positive pregnancy test. “Nothing and no one can take our joy now. We are so chuffed !!!!”

She added, “Maybe we should call the ‘Less is More Tour’ the preggo tour .”

Stone announced her Less Is More: An Evening With Joss Stone tour earlier this month and is scheduled to perform eight concerts in the United States in February 2025.

Joss Stone Says She's 'Getting to Know' Husband Cody Through Parenting

Stone and DaLuz, 34, are already parents of three: Violet, 3, Shackleton, 2, and newborn Bear. The married duo formally adopted Bear in November, later telling Hello! that the process took nearly 18 months.

“He’s the best Christmas gift ever,” Stone told the magazine in an interview published on Monday, December 16. “What’s crazy is that we brought him home the night before Thanksgiving. So we woke up in the morning with our son — and that is something to be thankful for.”

The couple, who got married in 2023, were interested in adopting because of DaLuz’s family history.

“The reason why Cody even exists is because his bio mum loved him enough to make an adoption plan for him and the same goes for Bear,” Stone wrote via Instagram on December 2. “Honestly, bio mothers do not get the gratitude they deserve. It is a more selfless love than I knew existed. Truly. We are just so happy to be part of this beautiful cycle.”

Celebrities Who've Welcomed Babies Back-to-Back

Bear was born 11 weeks early and his older siblings were quickly thrilled to meet him.

“Violet knows Bear is a boy but she keeps calling him ‘her,’” Stone gushed to Hello. “It’s almost like she wants to put a little bow on his head. It’s such a lovely space for him to be in and I hope he’s feeling that love.”

Stone and DaLuz feel the same. The Grammy winner recently told Us Weekly how parenthood strengthened their marriage.

“It’s funny because we never had a big relationship before we had kids,” she exclusively said in May. “So, our entire time has been having children. We’re getting to know each other at the same time as doing a very difficult job. Parenting definitely, you know, [is] like having no sleep and all that kind of stuff. So it’s really crazy. And we wanted to be married, but we wanted to be married before we had kids, but that just didn’t happen.”

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy went all out for his team holiday present, opting to give out brand-new cars to the entire offensive line.

“Boys, I just want to say Merry Christmas [and] I got some gifts for you guys,” Purdy, 24, said in a Thursday, December 19, video shared on the team’s social media page. “Sorry for the wait, but if you want to follow me outside. Let’s go.”

As the 49ers athletes headed outside their practice facility, they were shocked to see a fleet of white Toyota trucks. Each vehicle was topped with a big, red bow on the hood.

“Let’s go, Toyota, baby,” Purdy quipped. “Alright, so we got five Sequoias, five Tundras. You guys can check ‘em out, but these are yours, so Merry Christmas. Appreciate you guys. Thanks for all you do.”

Purdy further stressed that he “wanted to” do this for his NFL teammates.

Purdy handed over the keys to new Tundra TRD Pros and Sequoia TRD Pros, respectively. While they all had white exteriors, the inside fabric of each was cherry red in honor of the 49ers’ team colors.

Purdy was drafted last by the 49ers in 2022, leading them to the Super Bowl earlier this year, though they narrowly lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. As the San Francisco squad kicked off the 2024-2025 football season, Purdy insisted on gifting cars to the team.

“I mean, I saw your Applebee’s commercial, you’re an actor,” tight end George Kittle quipped during an October game. “Can I get a discount code?”

Moments later, Purdy inquired about another teammate’s “ghost sleeves” before joking about his Toyota endorsement.

“Are you making fun of it? You know we don’t have Toyota sponsorships, bro,” his teammate said.

Purdy replied, asking if the guys wanted “some Toyota Camrys.”

“I got you,” the quarterback proclaimed.

Fans on social media were quick to praise Purdy’s selflessness for following through on his promise.

“He did that with a rookie contract,” one social media user wrote, as another added, “Not a Niners fan but Brock Purdy is a class act.”

A third chimed in, “For a QB that doesn’t make a lot more money than the other high-paid QBs put there, he’s very generous to his teammates.”

According to ESPN, Purdy earns an annual salary of $870,000 while several other league quarterbacks rake in multimillion-dollar earnings for a single season.

Trinity Rodman seemingly did not find father Dennis Rodman’s social media apology to be genuine.

“A joke. The response alone. And the attention,” Trinity, 22, wrote via Instagram Story on Thursday, December 19, sharing a screenshot of Dennis’ comments. “Wiping my hands with it. I’m done. Thank you .”

Earlier this week, the Olympic soccer star detailed her estrangement from Dennis, 63, during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

“He’s not a dad. Maybe by blood, but nothing else,” Trinity, who is the daughter of Dennis and ex-wife Michelle Moyer, explained during the episode. “We never really asked for anything unless we really needed it.”

She added, “I think, for him, he’s never understood the fact, because he’s never experienced it. … He’s never understood that people could actually just want to be around him and to just want to make him happy.”

By Thursday, Dennis issued a social media response directly to Trinity.

“Sorry I wasn’t the dad you wanted me to be but either way I still tried and I still try and never will stop. I will keep trying even when you’re being told as an adult not to respond to my phone calls,” the NBA legend wrote via Instagram alongside throwback family photos. “I will try even when it’s difficult and if it takes a long time. I’m always here and tell you all the time, whether it’s your voice or voicemail, how proud I am.”

Dennis continued, “I always had one wish and it was I wish my kids would call me and come see me. Hopefully, one day I can get that. I’m here and I’m still trying to pick up the phone you have my number, You see me calling, I’m still here Dennis RODMAN- Dad.”

Dennis further noted that he watches Trinity’s soccer games “all the time.”

“[I] actually flew in to watch you play and was told not to show up [because] who I was with instead and me just wanting to support you,” he claimed. “So I watched you from my hotel balcony just to make everybody happy. I love all my kids.”

In addition to Trinity, Dennis shares son DJ, 23, with Moyer and daughter Alexis, 36, with ex-wife Annie Bakes. He’s previously been candid about his parenting ups and downs.

“I think the only major demon I have right now is trying to convince myself that I’m a good dad,” Dennis told ESPN in 2020.  “It’s very hard for me to try to break out of that cycle. It’s just one of those things where I never had anyone to ever do that [be a dad] for me and I think sometimes, ‘Why am I doing it for somebody else?’ Knowing that’s my child, that’s my wife or that’s my mother, that’s my sister and it’s hard for me to just gravitate to people, like, that’s close to me. It’s difficult even though inside I love them.”
