Wendy Williams’ close family and friends continue to rally around the former talk show host amid her guardianship.

“She is in great shape mentally and physically,” Wendy’s brother Tommy Williams exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 12. “Let her out.”

Since May 2022, Wendy, 60, has been living under a legal guardianship that oversees both her finances and health. Speculation surrounding the former radio host’s well-being and absence from the public eye led to a 2024 Lifetime documentary titled Where Is Wendy Williams?

This week, however, Us Weekly confirmed that Wendy was transported from her assisted living facility to a New York hospital “for evaluation” after police were called to do a wellness check.

Wendy Williams Says She Passed Competency Tests With ‘Flying Colors’

Wendy later appeared on The Breakfast Club and said she underwent competency tests, which she claimed to pass with “flying colors.”

According to her brother, Wendy’s ability to pass those recent tests is a positive step forward.

“Now she has some direction and understanding of her functional abilities and cognizant abilities,” Tommy told Us. “It’s a win for Wendy, a big one. And she did it herself. It also shows she is fluid with her thoughts and actions.”

Wendy’s friend Ginalia Monterrosa — who accompanied the media personality to the hospital this week — recently sent a letter to Adult Protective Services formally requesting a probe into what she saw as “troubling circumstances” surrounding Wendy’s treatment.

In an exclusive interview with Us, Monterrosa — who is part of Connect Care Advisory Group — said those closest to Wendy are “just figuring out next steps of what’s going to happen.”

Everything Wendy Williams Has Said About Diddy Over the Years

“She is letting the public know it is unfair, it is unjust,” Monterrosa said of Wendy’s recent interviews. “She doesn’t need to be in a guardianship. She is not incapacitated. She will continue to voice her opinion.”

According to Monterrosa, Wendy is not allowed to have a cell phone at the facility she is residing in. Instead, she has a landline in her room that allows her to make outgoing calls, but doesn’t allow any to come in.

“We’d love for her to be in an unrestrictive environment — even at another facility — where she has freedom to come in and out, see her friends, people can call her, she can have an iPad, she can use a two-way phone — not just [a] one way [phone],” Monterrosa explained to Us. “[She has] the freedom to go to the store and supermarket, to go to the gym, to have a life and the things we take for granted.”

Before a judge makes a ruling in regards to Wendy’s guardianship, the former talk show host is expected to speak out on the Friday, March 14, episode of The View.

Those closest to Wendy hope good news is coming soon.

“It’s a wait and see,” Tommy said. “We want to root Wendy on. We watch and listen and cheer her on. And we are praying.”

Sailor Brinkley-Cook is more than confident that Billy Joel will be back on tour in no time.

“He’s doing great,” Brinkley-Cook, 26, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, March 11, while celebrating the grand opening of Planet Hollywood Times Square. “He’s totally healthy and it’s just some things that he has to deal with.”

Earlier in the day, the Grammy winner announced on social media that his upcoming concert dates will be rescheduled due to a medical condition.

“While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first,” Joel, 75, said in a statement via Instagram. “I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.”

Billy Joel and Ex-Wife Christie Brinkley’s Relationship Timeline

According to Brinkley-Cook, the musician she affectionately calls “Uncle Billy” is “really upset” about postponing the concerts “so I’m excited for him to be able to get back.”

In April 2024, Brinkley-Cook and her mom, Christie Brinkley, were able to experience Joel live in concert at the “Piano Man” singer’s 101st show at Madison Square Garden in New York.

“Sailor gave Uncle Billy a few pointers before his show,” Brinkley, 71, wrote via Instagram at the time. “You may be right, she may be crazy, but it was only show 101 in his historic run so she was just trying to be helpful! Lol!”

Brinkley and Joel wed in 1985 and welcomed their daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, in 1985 before divorcing in 1994. The supermodel later welcomed Sailor and Jack Paris Brinkley-Cook with now ex-husband Peter Cook.

While celebrating the grand opening of Planet Hollywood Times Square, Sailor was able to mingle with celebrity guests including 50 Cent, Pete Davidson and Alec Baldwin.

As Alec, 66, steps into the world of reality TV alongside his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, in the TLC series The Baldwins, Sailor admitted her family has also been approached to do a show.

“We always turned it down because we’re a little more private,” she shared. “But honestly, it’s inspiring to see someone like Alec, who I know is private, able to just kind of show off his family and go more deep into his life. It’s really fun to watch so you never know.”

Until then, Sailor is working on a few things in the health and wellness space. While she isn’t ready to announce anything officially, the digital creator is more than excited about the future.

“It’s a lot starting your own brand and business,” she said. “It might be a month or two, it might be a year or two, but it’s exciting stuff, and I’m excited to share with the world.”

Rory McIlroy may have Uber to thank for helping him stay on top of his golf game.

After trying some new golf clubs and not being thrilled with the results, the professional golfer decided to stick to what he knows and loves.

“He started the week here at Bay Hill with some newer model TaylorMade woods,” McIlroy’s coach and confidant, Brad Faxon, said on the Monday, March 10, episode of the “Sky Sports Golf” podcast. “On Sunday morning, he had his older set that he used to win at AT&T, he had them Ubered from his house Saturday night, which is pretty extraordinary to have those shipped up.”

Thanks to an Uber driver, who likely drove nearly two and a half hours to reach McIlroy’s location, the golfer was able to reunite with his clubs before The Players Championship kicks off Thursday, March 13.

Golf Pro Rory McIlroy and Wife Erica Stoll's Relationship Timeline

“I think he’s a little more comfortable with [the clubs] that he will use this week at the Players Championship,” Faxon, 63, explained. “Those clubs have slightly more spin for him. As we know, Rory doesn’t need more speed. You need a little bit more control.”

McIlroy, 35, is expected to compete in The Players Championship, which is an annual golf tournament on the PGA Tour. Located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, the course will feature some of the best athletes in the sport including Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa.

So far, Faxon likes what he sees as McIlroy prepares to compete in the tournament, which will be available to stream on Disney+ and ESPN+.

“There’s nothing prettier in golf than seeing Rory hammer a draw down a fairway or into a green,” Faxon shared. “I love his confidence on the greens and around the greens.”

One golfer who will not be competing in The Players Championship is Tiger Woods.

Earlier this week, Woods, 49, announced via social media that he is on the mend after undergoing surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Tiger Woods Reveals His Bizarre Starbucks Order After Rory McIlroy Match

Despite his competitor’s latest injury, McIIroy remains hopeful that he can one day compete with the 15-time major champion once again on the PGA Tour.

“He’ll try. I know he’ll try,” McIlroy told reporters of Woods during a Wednesday, March 12, press conference. “But that’s a question for him, not for me. I obviously don’t know what’s in his head, but judging by prior behavior, he’ll definitely try.”

He added, “[I’m] hoping he’s in good spirits and hoping he’s doing OK.”

Khloé Kardashian wishes she could forgive and forget one vivid childhood memory involving Kris Jenner.

“I believe I was under the bed one time when you and your ex-husband were trying [to get pregnant],” Kardashian, 40, said on the Wednesday, March 12, episode of the Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast. “I still go to therapy over that.”

According to The Kardashians star, the incident occurred when she was playing an innocent game of hide and seek with her friend, Francesca.

“Nobody found me, and I fell asleep,” Kardashian said. “It was gross.”

Most NSFW Revelations on 'The Kardashians' — Including Sex While Dilated

Kris, 69, — who was married to Caitlyn Jenner at the time — had a sense of humor about her daughter’s revelation and pointed to the positive fact that she never got caught playing hide and seek.

“You decided to stay there because it sounded exciting and you got an earful and you being tortured for the rest of your life is exactly what you deserved,” Kris joked. “Those sounds will never leave you.”

Kardashian said she was ultimately able to run out of the room undetected. At the same time, she’ll never forget what she heard under the bed.

“I ran out and you guys were like, ‘What was that?’ At first, we were like, ‘Oh my God’ and a little giggling, and then you guys were like, ‘I think I hear something,’” Kardashian recalled. “When you guys said that, we ran.”

While Kris tried to think of an innocent explanation for her sexy rendezvous like “we were wrestling” or training for an Olympic medal, she had a feeling her daughter wouldn’t buy into it.

“I knew what was happening,” Kardashian confessed. “I can’t even think about this anymore.”

Kris was married to late husband Robert Kardashian from 1978 to 1991 and to ex Caitlyn, 75, from 1991 to October 2013.

Currently, she is dating Corey Gamble and they have been together since the fall of 2014. When asked if her mom would ever get married again, Kardashian said she was unsure.

“Nothing like a 70-year-old bride,” she joked to E! News in February 2025. “I’m down. I don’t know if she’s going to wear white, but we’ll see.”

As for planning the bachelorette party, Kardashian said her mom’s friends may have a little extra cool factor to organize the special day.

“Her friends are so much cooler than — no offense to my friends — than me and my friends,” she explained.

Married at First Sight’s David and Madison continue to surprise viewers with their relationship updates.

During the Tuesday, March 11, episode of Lifetime’s reality show, the pair reunited with the cast for the first time in nearly a year. As part of the reunion show, both David, 37, and Madison, 31, confirmed they are still together and now living under the same roof.

“We’re very happy,” Madison told host Kevin Frazier. “He makes me feel like the most special person in the world without even trying. He’s the best.”

After some cast members noticed some new rings on the pair’s fingers, both Madison and David assured them they are not engaged. Instead, the new bling is a symbol of their committed love for each other.

‘Married at First Sight’ Stars Write Valentine’s Day Notes to Their Spouse

“We had our one-year anniversary and I’m just living life,” David said when confirming his relationship status.

During season 18 of Married at First Sight, viewers watched experts Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Pastor Cal Roberson and Dr. Pia Goff initially match Madison up with Allen. David, meanwhile, was paired up with Michelle.

As cameras rolled, David and Madison started forming a connection and ultimately chose to end their respective marriages to pursue each other.

At one point in the season, the experts questioned why David sent a text message to Madison saying he “wanted to eat her up” during his marriage to Michelle. (In a previous episode, David claimed that he was just shooting his shot and was a man with “needs” that weren’t being met.)

When asked to share if they had any regrets, both David and Madison acknowledged they could have handled the cheating scandal better.

“Obviously, I think we would both change everything,” Madison shared. “I will never regret following my heart, but I will regret not having the courage and the confidence to say it loudly when I should have.”

David added, “I should have been stronger. I would like to apologize to you Michelle sincerely.  And to you Allen as well. You’re a great man, and I should have manned up.”

During the reunion show, Allen confirmed he has moved on with a new girlfriend. As for Michelle, she’s single and doesn’t see a future friendship with Madison.

“We’re not going to be friends — her and I — and I appreciate the apology,” she acknowledged. “But I’m pretty sure we’ll never see each other again.”

Bre Tiesi may get a little jealous of the other women in Nick Cannon’s life — but not for the reason you think.

“I think I’ve gotten jealous about holidays. Holidays are hard,” Tiesi, 33, shared on the Tuesday, March 11, episode of the “We Need to Talk” podcast. “I’d be like, ‘OK, well, if you’re gonna do this, can you take Ledgie?’ And it’s not for me. I’m not jealous. Say they go on a trip and I’m like, ‘Well, that would’ve been nice, could you have just brought Ledgie with you guys?’”

According to the Selling Sunset star, the bouts of jealousy truly have nothing to do with her. Instead, she just wants her son to feel included.

“I’m looking more out for him, per se, and really because I care, and I want him to have relationships with his siblings,” Tiesi explained. “I know at some point, Nick will be able to take the kids and do what he wants to do with just the kids and make it more of a family unit.”

Bre Tiesi Explains Why Open Relationship With Nick Cannon Is Healthy

Cannon, 44, and Tiesi share 2-year-old son Legendary. Alongside Legendary, Cannon is also dad to 11 other kids: 13-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey, Golden Sagon, 7, Powerful Queen, 3, and Rise Messiah Cannon, 2, with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, 3, and Beautiful Zeppelin, 2, with Abby De La Rosa; and Onyx Ice Cole, 2, with LaNisha Cole.

The Masked Singer star is also father to two children with Alyssa Scott: Zen, who died at 5 months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer, and Halo Marie Cannon, 2.

While Tiesi admits her son doesn’t interact with too many of his siblings because they are “young right now,” she said she makes gift baskets on behalf of Legendary for his siblings during major holidays.

Selling Sunset's Bre Tiesi Shares How Nick Cannon ‘Manages’ His 12 Kids

“I just want to make sure that I’m keeping the door open and that everyone involved is happy, so our kids can have a relationship because you don’t have to like me,” she shared with host Paul Carrick Brunson of Cannon’s additional baby mamas. “We don’t have to have a relationship, I don’t need to at all, but I want you to know that I genuinely love and accept your kids and they’re welcome in my home.”

Tiesi is proud to say she’s “cool” with the majority of the other women in Cannon’s life. After all, she just wants to make it “as easy and pleasant” as possible for all parties involved.

“Obviously there’s emotions involved, and I can’t help how other people feel,” she explained. “But if I’m invited, if you are OK with me being around, I will happily bring Legendary. I will come and say hi. I will drop a gift. I will leave him and I will come back.”

The best way to describe Denise Richards’ reality is simply wild.

After the March 2025 premiere of Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, fans have been granted a rare look inside her family life and the friendships she continues to maintain.

During the March 4 episode, Denise casually invited Brooke Mueller to enjoy her family’s picnic in Malibu. Before viewers could question the reason behind the invite, Denise explained why they have remained in touch after they both split from Charlie Sheen.

“I wanted to include Brooke, Charlie’s other ex-wife,” she said in her confessional. “There’s a lot of history there. Her sons are my daughters’ brothers. We are a big, blended family.”

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller’s Ups and Downs Through the Years

As Brooke continues to make appearances on the Bravo reality show, keep reading to learn more about this unexpected bond.

Denise Richards’ History With Charlie Sheen

Long before marrying her current husband, Aaron Phypers, in September 2018, Denise was in a romantic relationship with Charlie.

The couple were married from 2002 to 2006 and welcomed two children together including Sami and Lola.

“It’s surreal when you start to see your kids become adults. It makes me cry,” Denise said during an April 2019 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “I just feel like I f—ed up a lot with their dad. I don’t want them to look back at their childhood and remember [arguments].”

Brooke Mueller’s Past With Charlie Sheen 

After Denise filed for divorce from Charlie, the Two and a Half Men actor moved on with Brooke.

The couple tied the knot in May 2008 and welcomed twin sons Bob and Max on March 14, 2009. Both Charlie and Brooke faced many public ups and downs in their relationship as they both struggled with addiction issues.

The pair ultimately filed for divorce in November 2010. Following the split, Brooke and Charlie’s kids were placed into the temporary custody of Denise.

Brooke has since publicly thanked Denise for “stepping up” and being “very helpful” when it came to taking care of her kids before she regained custody.

While every family unit has some speed bumps, Denise is happy to report she’s in a good spot with Brooke.

“It’s a blended family, and there were times things were not great with their dad, and then him and Brooke, and then me and Brooke,” Denise exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2025. “It’s always up and down, so I always try to keep it as harmonious as possible. When it’s peaceful and great, we’ll take it and it’s good. It’s really good right now.”

Brooke and Denise’s friendship extends to their children. As seen on Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, Bob hung out with Lola and Sami during a family BBQ.

“I’m not the closest with Brooke, but when I do see her, we pick up where we left off and she’s so funny,” Sami exclusively told Us Weekly. “She’s just good company and she’s really sweet. She means well.”

American Idol’s current showrunner is reflecting on Carrie Underwood’s performance at Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration.

“That was her decision,” Megan Michaels Wolflick shared with The Wrap in an interview published Sunday, March 9. “Katy Perry, who was a judge on our show, sang at the last inauguration as well, so isn’t that great that two American Idol judges sang at the last two inaugurations?”

Back in 2021, Perry, 40, performed her hit single “Firework” at President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ inauguration.

As for Underwood, 42, she sang “America the Beautiful” alongside the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club for Trump, 78, and Vice President J.D. Vance on January 13.

What Carrie Underwood Thinks Her Judging Style Will Be on 'American Idol'

During her performance, Underwood experienced technical difficulties that forced the singer to make a quick decision to sing a capella.

“She held her own, and she remained cool, calm and collected,” Michaels Wolflick said of the viral moment. “I think a lot of that has to do with Idol and all of her live experience, starting at a young age, being on live television for Idol.”

Before becoming a judge for season 23 of American Idol, Underwood won season 4 of the singing competition series in 2005.

Although some fans initially questioned the country singer’s decision to perform at the inauguration, Underwood explained why she wanted to be part of the event. (She would later get support from fellow country singer Jason Aldean.)

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement shortly after her performance was announced, per a CNN correspondent. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

As viewers begin to see Underwood behind the judges’ table, Michaels Wolflick is hopeful that fans will get to see a new side of the “Jesus, Take the Wheel” singer.

“It’s going to be an amazing discovery for people when they watch Carrie and see how warm and kind and funny she is,” Idol’s showrunner explained. “People might have an opinion about her, of what kind of personality that she is and what her interests are, and it’s like an onion — you discover so many layers throughout the season.”

A Look Back at Carrie Underwood's 'American Idol' Winning Season

While Michaels Wolflick acknowledged that you “can never replace” Perry as a judge, she’s hopeful Underwood will provide a new perspective alongside returning judges Lionel Richie and Luke Byran.

“It just made so much sense to put [Carrie] in there, because she was bringing something new to the table that we never had before,” she explained. “That firsthand experience is something that any other judge who’s ever been on the show can talk for years about what it’s like to stand on the oval, though they don’t know.”

American Idol airs on ABC Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.

John Mulaney and Olivia Munn won’t forget their wedding celebration — thanks in no small part to their son’s smelly interruption.

“He turned 3 in November,” Mulaney, 42, said of his son, Malcolm, while appearing on the Monday, March 10, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! “Over the summer, he was a 2-year-old. He was at our wedding in a little tuxedo and shorts. He actually went to the bathroom in his diaper during [the ceremony] and announced it mid-vows. A very sweaty little 2-year-old in a tuxedo just went, ‘I’m pooping!’”

When host Jimmy Kimmel pointed out the unique timing of the confession, Mulaney took it in stride.

“It’s really an in-the-moment declaration,” he joked when defending his son’s behavior.

Olivia Munn Supports John Mulaney at Star-Studded ‘SNL 50’ Celebration

Bathroom antics aside, Mulaney and Munn, 44, — who also share 5-month-old daughter Mei — enjoyed their “simple” ceremony that took place after three years of dating.

“We were married by Sam Waterston from Law & Order and a costar of Olivia’s from The Newsroom who once said to Olivia, ‘If you ever get married, I’ll perform the ceremony,’” Mulaney shared. “I think it was chit-chat but you take people up from what they offer.”

In August 2024, Mulaney first confirmed reports that he was indeed married to Munn after experiencing a private wedding event.

“I got married. Thanks a lot. It’s the best,” the comedian shared on Late Night With Seth Meyers. “It’s the greatest single time in my life.”

“I’ve been in a lot of interesting situations, but marrying into a large Vietnamese family is one of the most fun things I’ve ever done,” he continued. “They’re the best, man. One of them will come with you anywhere, and they call me John Mulaney — full name. Full name all the time: ‘Olivia’s here with John Mulaney.’”

While the pair try to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, both Mulaney and Munn recently stepped out for the 22025 Vanity Fair Oscars Party earlier this month.

Munn was also spotted sitting next to her husband in the SNL 50: The Anniversary Special crowd in February.

Comedian John Mulaney’s Sweet Quotes About Fatherhood

“[She is] wildly, wildly out of my league,” Mulaney joked to Page Six in December 2024 about his wife. “She’s somehow with this working comedian when she could be with Mr. Richard Kind, who is single. … Look at him! He’s a magnet.”

In a separate interview with GQ, the comedian also tried to summarize his life as a husband with two kids.

“It was like a tornado picked me up, head to toe, hip to hip,” Mulaney told the publication in November 2024. “And I landed somewhere extremely lucky and nice, where I’m having the best time in life.”

Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright certainly aren’t the only couple struggling in The Valley.

In the first trailer for season 2 of Bravo’s hit reality show released Tuesday, March 11, the cast continues to deal with the fallout of both long-term relationships dissolving and the rumor mill continuing to run wild.

“Jax has been seeing people,” Brittany shares in one scene. “He had a girl staying here in the house again last night. There is a thong on my bathroom sink. Why was there a baby wipe on top of it?”

Later, Jax is seemingly served with divorce papers as Brittany shares what she wants from him and their relationship going forward.

'The Valley' Is Filming Amid Brittany and Jax's Divorce: What to Know

“I already told him — filing, restraining order and custody,” she explains before accusing her estranged husband of having “people watching me.”

In August 2024, Brittany filed for divorce from Jax after five years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple share 3-year-old son Cruz. One month earlier, Us Weekly confirmed that Jax entered a 30-day treatment program to address his ongoing mental health struggles.

Most recently, the former Vanderpump Rules star admitted in the March 4 episode of Alex Baskin’s “Hot Mic” podcast that he was an addict and had been sober for 83 days.

“I’m at the point where I’m so in love with the man I want to become,” Jax tearfully shares in one scene, “that I’m just not satisfied with who I am anymore.”

While Jax and Brittany try to coparent, Jesse Lally and Michelle Saniei are struggling to keep the peace as they move forward with their divorce while raising daughter Isabella, 4.

“You’re a f—ing drunk,” Michelle claims in an explosive argument with her ex. Jesse responds, “Well she’s a hooker so it’s fine.”

Michelle, however, has the last word when she reminds Jesse, “I’m the mother of your f—ing child.”

Even couples who appeared stronger than ever in season 1 now find themselves facing rumors and wild accusations.

Kristen Doute accuses Janet Caperna’s husband Jason of taking his wedding ring off when he goes out. As for Nia Sanchez’s husband Danny Booko, rumors spread that he gets “wasted and handsy and inappropriate.”

‘The Valley’ Cast Weighs In on Brittany Cartwright, Jax Taylor’s Split

In a surprise turn of events, Kristen’s relationship appears to be in a strong spot as she accepts a romantic proposal from Luke Broderick.

“Who would have thought Kristen and Luke had the best relationship out of all of us?” Jax asks at one point in the season.

Season 2 of The Valley — which will feature appearances from Lala Kent, Tom Schwartz, Scheana Shay and Brock Davies — premieres on Bravo Tuesday, April 15, at 9 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.

Nadya Suleman is reflecting on the controversial actions she made days after welcoming eight babies.

In the Monday, March 10, episode of Lifetime’s Confessions of Octomom, Suleman, 49, looked back on her decision to sit down with NBC News journalist Ann Curry for her first sit-down interview.

“[The hospital] let me pick what interviewer so I opted [for] a news anchor and I didn’t know who she was. I never watched anything she did,” Suleman said. “So I picked Ann Curry. She was one of the only women. I thought I’d feel comfortable talking to a woman.”

When sitting down with Curry, 68, for an interview that would air on Today and Dateline in 2009, Suleman said she was stressed for a variety of reasons including the way she looked.

Biggest Takeaways From Octomom's Return to the Spotlight

“I felt horrible about myself,” she said. “I gained 150 pounds during the whole pregnancy so at that point, I was still about 100 pounds heavier than normal. … I had no idea what she was going to ask me. I had never done an interview before.”

As recapped in Confessions of Octomom, Curry asked questions many Americans wanted answered at the time. At one point, the journalist asked Suleman to respond to people who thought she was being “irresponsible and selfish” for having so many children. (Before welcoming octuplets, Suleman was already a mom to six kids.)

“I was foggy in my head. I really wasn’t lucid. I was also ripped open and I was on Vicodin for pain,” Suleman explained to Lifetime cameras. “Can you imagine being interrogated and interrogated while you have just given birth, all those hormones? You’re very, very depressed. You’re in a state of shock. I was not there.”

Suleman went on to claim she was in “survival mode” and not ready to take accountability for her actions.

“I felt under attack. I was under attack,” she said. “When a human is under attack psychologically, they’re not in the frame of mind to be transparent or honest. They are going to protect themselves and I utilized every coping mechanism.”

According to Sulman, who went on to appear on the Today show again for another chat with Curry in 2011, the hospital where she gave birth wanted to set up an interview to “set the record straight” about her journey. But for the Orange County, California, resident, she simply wanted to go home and see her kids.

“It’s a blur to me,” she said about the interview. “I just don’t even remember. I just know I was in constant defense.”

'Octomom' Nadya Suleman's Family Photos Over the Years With 14 Kids

Confessions of Octomom is a six-part documentary series that follows Suleman as she provides an intimate look at her history and her life today as a mom of 14.

With her octuplets turning 16 this January and her other six children ranging from 17 to 23 years old, Suleman has been out of the public eye for years. Now, she’s hoping to provide a side of her family many haven’t seen.

Nadya Suleman is ready to share her parenting journey on her own terms.

Sixteen years after welcoming eight babies in a Los Angeles area hospital, earning her the name “Octomom,” Suleman, 49, is returning to the spotlight and showcasing what life is really like raising the longest surviving group of octuplets — along with six additional children.

“I’ve been hoping and praying to one day have the opportunity to actually share my true story, to have a voice when I didn’t have one at the beginning,” Suleman said on the Friday, March 7, episode of The View. “Now my kids are older. My octuplets are now 16 and they’ve been strongly encouraging me.”

Throughout the six-part documentary series Confessions of Octomom, viewers will watch Suleman provide an intimate look at her history and her life today as a mom of 14. Along the way, she’s hoping to provide viewers with a look at the side of her family many haven’t seen.

Whether she’s driving in the car, working out in a gym or grocery shopping in a supermarket, Suleman prefers to keep her entire face and body covered for a variety of reasons.

“I was very consistent for decades since I was in my early 20s with sunscreen and I’m really into protecting my skin from the sun,” she explained in the opening scene. “That’s not the only reason. For sure, it helps with my social anxiety. Nobody knows. They look and they look away. It doesn’t draw any attention because people don’t want to look and stare.”

While her kids acknowledged that it may be weird to some, their mom’s public attire is normal to them.

How Nadya Suleman’s Tell-All Interview Came to Be

Days after welcoming eight kids, Suleman reluctantly chose to participate in a televised interview with former NBC News journalist Ann Curry.

“I felt horrible about myself. I gained 150 pounds during the whole pregnancy so at that point, I was still about 100 pounds heavier than normal,” she shared. “They let me pick what interviewer so I opted [for] a news anchor and I didn’t know who she was. I never watched anything she did.”

As for why she picked Curry, Suleman said “she was one of the only women” who was on the list of available journalists and she thought “I’d feel comfortable talking to a woman.”

Ultimately, Suleman said she wasn’t in the right “frame of mind to be transparent or honest.”  Instead, she felt like she was “under attack” and just wanted to be reunited with her kids.

Why Nadya Suleman Wants to Be Called Natalie Today

Throughout the docuseries and in recent interviews, Suleman has been called by her birth name, Natalie.

“I chose to go back to my birth name,” she explained, “because Nadya at the time was intertwined with the pain affiliated with Octomom.” Future episodes promise to dive deeper into how and why Suleman was able to emotionally move away from her “Octomom” identity.

Nadya Suleman’s Thoughts on Having a Husband

According to Suleman, being a single mother left her the target of more salacious headlines and public outrage than what she believes she would have endured had she welcomed her children alongside a partner.

“I guarantee that If I was more conventional and led a more traditional lifestyle, a husband would have acted as a buffer in the public hatred,” she claimed. “It would be far less severe. There may have been judgment, but it wouldn’t have been this public outrage.”

In simpler terms, Suleman stated, “If I had a husband, there really wouldn’t have been much of a story.”

Nadya Suleman’s Difficult Decision

When she was 31 weeks pregnant, Suleman remembered receiving the terrifying news that one of her babies had stopped growing.

Not feeling any contractions, she expressed hopes to wait until at least 34 weeks gestation before delivering her children. Ultimately, she had to make a decision.

“Either to save [Jonah’s] life [and] within 24 hours, deliver all of them or allow him to stop growing and then pass and then allow the others to grow bigger, stronger so they could fight,” she said. “I couldn’t allow him to die.” Days later, Suleman welcomed eight healthy babies.

Nadya Suleman’s Painful Delivery

When recalling the birth of her octuplets, Suleman described the delivery as “horrible.”

“I had to get induced. They did the epidural and the anesthesiologist had come up to me and said, ‘I’m so sorry, but the circumference of [your] abdominal cavity is a little too large for all the epidural to cover so [you] might feel a little bit,’” she recalled. “That was a euphemism really, because I felt everything.”

Nadya Suleman’s Big Surprise

While numerous doctors — including an ultrasound technician — only expected seven babies to be delivered, Suleman had a “mother’s intuition” or a “gut feeling,” that she was expecting eight.

After the seventh baby was born, Suleman recalled the moment “a resident went and examined the uterus to make sure everything was ok and he felt a hand.” Sure enough, the nearly 45 hospital workers working on Suleman’s delivery had one final baby to deliver.

Adam Levine and Kate Hudson’s friendship goes all the way back to the classroom.

“We’ve known each other since high school,” Levine, 45, shared on the Monday, March 10, episode of The Voice.

Hudson, 45, replied, “I actually might have been at one of your first gigs.”

Although the actress attended Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in Santa Monica, California, and Levine went to Brentwood School nearby in West Los Angeles, the pair have remained in touch through the years.

We Found the Very Best Blind Auditions From ‘The Voice’ Season 27

When Levine needed a mentor to help guide his team for season 27 of The Voice, he knew just who to call.

“Kate Hudson is a household name and has been for years, and now she’s venturing into this new career, which is awesome,” he said in a confessional interview. “It’s actually kind of annoying because she’s good at everything.”

Perhaps the cherry on top of Hudson’s involvement is that she’s been a viewer of NBC’s long-running singing competition show for many years.

“I’ve been a fan of the show, watched the show,” she explained. “So much of my life has been in acting and performing, but music was always my love. To be here connecting through music is really special.”

While Hudson first found success on the big screen with hits like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and the Oscar-winning film Almost Famous, she dipped her toes into music when she released her debut album Glorious in May 2024. The body of work ended up on the Billboard charts.

When asked about Levine’s success in Maroon 5, Hudson said she wasn’t surprised he turned into a rockstar.

“His first band, they were always playing somewhere,” she told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published on Tuesday, March 4. “It’s amazing to see his success and then to be here doing this with him, it feels very familiar, yet surreal at the same time.”

Hudson got to work quickly on Monday’s episode of The Voice when she mentored Levine’s contestants for the Battle Rounds, including Darius J and Britton Moore.

Blake Shelton and Adam Levine's Friendship Through the Years

After acknowledging how “competitive” Levine is, Hudson joked that she wasn’t sure if she had what it takes to be a full-on coach.

“I can’t wait to hear this,” she shared before realizing Levine has to pick only one contestant from each Battle Round to advance. “I’m so glad I don’t have to make that decision.”

Bravo’s longest running Real Housewives show remains juicy as ever.

After a dramatic season 18 filled with lawsuits, paparazzi allegations and an unforgettable cast trip to London, the ladies of The Real Housewives of Orange County are gearing up for season 19.

One cast member ready to film once again is Shannon Beador.

“I look at where I am today, after a year, and I thought I was in a hole that I could not get out of, and it’s possible because I am, probably, in one of the best places that I’ve ever been,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2025. “I’m so grateful to those close to me that have supported me and the fans that have supported me.”

Former ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

As excitement continues to build for season 19, here’s everything Us knows about the show’s future:

Has ‘RHOC’ Season 19 Filming Started?

Cameras officially started rolling on season 19 in February 2025, according to Beador.

“We’ve just finished week three,” she told Us on February 25 when promoting The Wives on the Waves cruise by Fans at Sea, “and the drama’s already starting.”

Which ‘RHOC’ Cast Members Are Returning for Season 19?

The gang appears to be getting back together! Although Bravo has not confirmed the official cast, Beador along with Emily Simpson, Katie Ginella, Jennifer Pedranti, Gina Kirschenheiter and Heather Dubrow have all been photographed filming at various locations.

Fan sites have spotted the group filming a cast trip in New Orleans, but also enjoying events closer to home including a meal at Nice to Meet You Skewer Hot Pot in Irvine, California.

What Is Tamra Judge’s Status With the Show? 

In the middle of filming season 19 in New Orleans, Judge seemingly quit the show. “It was a long run!” she wrote via her Instagram Story in March 2025. “When life gives you real problems this reality s— doesn’t make sense. Peace out … I’m out.”

Andy Cohen later reacted to the speculation saying, “I can’t comment on what’s going on while we’re filming shows.”

He was also quick to remind viewers that Judge’s close friend, Teddi Mellencamp, is going through a challenging health crisis, which could make filming more challenging.

“I guess the only thing that is at the top of my mind is that one of her best friends, if not her best friend, is going through an incredibly intense health crisis,” he shared on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. “So maybe keep that in mind, otherwise I really don’t have anything to say on the subject.”

Is Gretchen Rossi Returning to ‘RHOC’ Season 19? 

A source close to production confirmed to Us in January 2025 that Rossi will appear as a “friend” of the cast for season 19. The Bravo star first joined the show in season 4 when she was engaged to Jeff Beitzel. By the time the season premiered in November 2008, Beitzel had died after a battle with cancer.

Rossi went on to fall in love with original cast member Slade Smiley. During season 8, which aired in 2013, Rossi proposed with help from a helicopter. She would exit the show soon after.

“I am excited about it, and she’s very kind,” Beador told Us in February 2025 about Rossi’s return. “She’s been nothing but sweet to me, so I think she’s going to be a good addition.”

Another cast member likely excited to have Rossi join is Ginella.

“I met Gretchen, and she’s a lovely woman,” she told Us in January 2025 at a Let’s Help LA fundraiser benefiting Emergency Network LA. “We’ve become really good friends. Jenn [Pedranti] and I hang out with her all the time. I love Gretchen.”

Will Alexis Bellino Return to ‘RHOC’ for Season 19?

A post shared by Alexis Bellino (@alexis_bellino)

In December 2024, Bellino confirmed she would not be returning to the show for season 19.

“I was not asked back next season,” she said on iHeartRadio’s “Going Rogue” podcast. “I can’t say it came as a shock, it did not come as a shock … I guess I wasn’t really prepared [because] I didn’t think contracts were coming out — like, I thought we had more time. … [So] it was a shock when the call came, but I was never shocked about that information.”

Beador later reacted to her former costar’s exit telling Us Weekly exclusively, “I have zero power with the network or production or anyone, and I would never want to interfere with someone’s livelihood. But, Alexis Bellino is a TV star, and she’s been a TV star for 15 years, so I’m sure she’ll get a new gig sometime very soon.”

Andy Cohen is playing coy about Tamra Judge’s future on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

“I got the report of what happened last night,” Cohen, 56, said on the Monday, March 10, episode of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. “All I will say is this. I can’t comment on what’s going on while we’re filming shows.”

On Sunday, March 9, Judge, 57, seemingly announced she was quitting The Real Housewives of Orange County while filming a cast trip in New Orleans.

“It was a long run!” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “When life gives you real problems this reality s— doesn’t make sense. Peace out … I’m out.”

Tamra Judge Cries Over Teddi Mellencamp's 'Health Stuff' Amid Brain Tumors

The next day, Judge posted a selfie from an undisclosed airport with the message, “Mental health is health.” (Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment.)

Cohen was quick to remind listeners that Judge’s close friend, Teddi Mellencamp, is going through a serious health scare, which could have an impact on her outlook on filming season 19.

“I guess the only thing that is at the top of my mind is that one of her best friends, if not her best friend, is going through an incredibly intense health crisis,” he shared. “So maybe keep that in mind, otherwise I really don’t have anything to say on the subject.”

Although Bravo hasn’t confirmed the final cast for the new season, Judge has been spotted in New Orleans with castmates including Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Katie Ginella, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti and Emily Simpson.

Gretchen Rossi, who was previously confirmed to return to the Real Housewives of Orange County as a “friend” of the group, was also photographed with the ladies attending the New Orleans Dog Parade.

In the middle of filming season 19, Judge learned Mellencamp, 43, was going to have surgery to remove brain tumors.

While the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star continues to recover from surgery at home, Judge is vowing not to share any personal updates about her close friend.

Vicki Gunvalson Puts Aside Drama to Pray for Teddi Mellencamp

“You know, a lot of people are reaching out to me and they want me to get them an update,” Judge said during the February 19 episode of iHeartRadio’s “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast. “It’s not my place. What do you guys want me to do? Do you want me to take pictures from the hospital and post them? I’m not doing that.”

While speaking through tears, Judge added, “All I can do is pray on her and love her like all of her friends are doing. And that’s it.”

Fans first met Judge when she joined The Real Housewives of Orange County for its third season in 2008. The Vena CBD cofounder remained a main cast member on the reality series for 12 seasons until her exit in 2020, but she returned to the show in 2022 for season 17.

NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. and comedian Druski are denying allegations made in an amended lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

In court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Ashley Parham alleged that Diddy, 55, heard her saying she believed he was involved in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. (Diddy has denied any involvement and has never been charged in the case.)

As a result, the rap mogul allegedly met up with Parham in 2018 to “pay” for her statements made about Shakur.

Parham alleged in court documents that Diddy sexually assaulted her before Druski, 30, and Beckham Jr., 32, allegedly raped her. Both public figures, however, deny the claims.

Diddy’s Attorneys Claim Videos of Him and Cassie ‘Confirm’ His Innocence

“This allegation is a fabricated lie,” Druski wrote via his Instagram Story on Sunday, March 9. “I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 — I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish.”

While Druski said his “heart breaks for actual victims of abuse,” he is “fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood and the individuals who are maliciously trying to game the legal system to peddle false narratives.”

In response to Druski’s statement, Beckham Jr. spoke out via X writing, “Boy I’ll tell u what. This world makes absolutely no sense. I am covered by God. He will prevail. I kno who am I, I kno who u are, keep ur head. That name will be cleared. S—s stupid.”

In a separate tweet on Monday, March 9, Beckham Jr. further denied the claims writing, “I have been informed of the allegations about me in a suit in CA. I really can’t even believe that my name is mentioned in that matter. There is absolutely no truth to those allegations. I do not know and have never met this person that filed the suit. I was not anywhere near Orinda, CA at that time. In fact, I don’t think I have ever been to Orinda, CA. I have never done anything like that, and I would never do anything like that to anyone. I’m confident that these ridiculous claims against me will be dismissed. ” 

Parham’s lawsuit was originally filed in a federal court in California in October 2024. At the time, Diddy’s team denied her allegations.

In response to her amended complaint, Diddy’s legal team described Parham’s claims as a “far-fetched tale.”

“Mr. Combs was nowhere near Orinda, California on the day Ms. Parham claims she was assaulted there, and the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department has already confirmed Ms. Parham’s claims were determined to be unfounded following a thorough investigation,” Diddy’s legal team said in a statement to Us on Monday. “In an attempt to salvage her claims following the investigation debunking them, Ms. Parham has now invented an even wilder narrative, alleging a vast (and facially implausible) conspiracy between law enforcement, local civilians, and media industry players.”

The statement continued, “Her far-fetched tale contains it all: fake cops, cash bribes, and an alleged victim of the late Michael Jackson who was purportedly kidnapped across state lines and forced to ‘sign paperwork at gun point’ while shepherded through a web of ‘safe houses.’ No sane person reading this complaint could credit this story. Mr. Combs looks forward to having his day in court where these lies — and the perverse motives of those who told them — will be revealed.”

Diddy Pleads Not Guilty Following Arrest and Unsealed Indictment

In January 2025, Diddy filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against one of his accusers and their attorney Ariel Mitchell for the “false and defamatory statements” they have caused. (Mitchell is also the attorney for Parham.) Mitchell has not publicly commented on the lawsuit.

Diddy is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, and is awaiting trial on various charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He has denied all allegations against him and awaits a trial set for May 5.

If you can’t handle the heat, get off of Temptation Island.

In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of Netflix’s reality dating series premiering Wednesday, March 12, Grant finds himself hot and bothered by a tempter named Natalie.

“There’s definitely something brewing between Natalie and I,” he says in the clip. “She’s giving me that soft love that I want and she’s beautiful. She’s funny and she’s really smart.”

The only problem is Grant, 28, came onto the show with his girlfriend, Ashley.

Most Tumultuous Relationships in Reality TV History

“It’s an internal battle I’m dealing with,” he explains. “My heart just wants to be intimate with Natalie and just see what happens, and then my brain is fighting me because I’m worrying about what Ashley might think of this.”

Ashley, also 28, may want to look away as Natalie, 23, begins to question why Grant doesn’t want to get closer to her in the bathroom.

“You’re not joining me in the shower?” she asks.

After a bit of hesitation, Grant begins to strip down to his Hanes underwear as Natalie warns him, “You know these cameras have, like, night vision?”

Ultimately, Grant is already tempted and decides to heat things up with his new love interest.

In the new season of Temptation Island — hosted by Mark L. Walberg — viewers will meet four couples who are at a crossroads in their relationships. They will put their commitments to the ultimate test through emotional challenges and next-level seduction.

Along the way, 24 eligible men and women known as “tempters” will stir up relationship chaos for the four couples, who will have to decide if they want to stay together or go off into the sunset with a new love interest.

Ashley and Grant have been on-again, off-again for a year and a half. According to Netflix, the couple’s dramatic cycle of breaking and making up stems from Grant’s infidelity early in their relationship, giving Ashley major trust issues.

Nudity, Instant Marriages and TMI! Wildest Dating Shows

Despite his track record, Grant is determined to demonstrate that he’s a changed man.

“I have given into temptation in the past, but going into this experience, I feel ready to hold up to the temptation,” he shared with Netflix before revealing what he’s attracted to in a woman. “If she can have fun, be adventurous and has a good head on her shoulders at the same time, it’s likely only a matter of time for her to catch my eye.”

Watch all the drama unfold when Temptation Island begins streaming on Netflix, Wednesday, March 12.

Windy City Rehab’s Alison Victoria is ready to bid a fond farewell to her Chicago dream home.

The HGTV star confirmed in the latest issue of Us Weekly that her property has been listed on the market for $2.9 million more than two and half years after she transformed the space.

“Having 7,000 square feet to yourself seems opulent and dreamy, but in reality, it became a bit lonely, so I decided to downsize and find something that suited my lifestyle better,” Victoria, 43, exclusively told Us. “I travel so much for work and wasn’t really there to enjoy it as much as the space deserves to be enjoyed.”

Now, Victoria hopes someone can live in the home full-time and “enjoy every square inch of sexiness and sophistication.”

HGTV Star Alison Victoria's Getting-Ready Routine Includes Lots of Laughter

“When I purchased the property and had it as my office and design center for years, I would always sit in there and think about how dreamy this space would be as someone’s home,” she told Us. “When I had the opportunity to turn it into that, my dreams truly came true.”

In 2023, fans watched the Briefly Gorgeous Productions founder transform her office and design center in Chicago’s West Logan Square into the ultimate live-work space on the HGTV special Windy City Rehab: Alison’s Dream Home.

As her business empire continues to grow with the launch of Sin City Rehab, Victoria can’t help but reflect on all the happy memories she created in her “dreamy” Chicago space.

“When I was there, I literally never left,” she said. “Everything you could ever want all under one roof makes that very easy to do.”

The next lucky buyer will experience plenty of special touches, including a bar that feels like a “speakeasy in Paris.”

After stepping into the master bedroom, the next homeowner will enjoy a main bathroom that feels like you are escaping to Victoria’s favorite resort in Mykonos, Greece.

“The heated marble herringbone floors spill into the wet room floors with an accent wall of raw stacked stones and the most beautiful blush, neutral tones,” she described.

HGTV’s Alison Victoria and Boyfriend Brandt Tell Us About ‘Honest’ Romance

And whether snow days or heat waves are your preferred weather, Victoria believes all guests will enjoy the home’s atrium fireplace.

“Living in Chicago is tough and rough during the winter months, so I wanted to create an indoor space that felt like you were always outdoors,” she said. “The heated black-and-white marble floors and the custom spool married so beautifully with the original brick walls. The fireplace is the perfect spot to cozy up while the snow falls on the eight massive pyramid skylights above.”

The Duggar family is growing once again!

Jessa Duggar announced she is pregnant and expecting her sixth baby with Ben Seewald later this summer.

“Halfway to holding you in our arms ,” Jessa, 32, wrote via Instagram on Friday, March 7, with photos from a recent sonogram appointment.

Soon after sharing her family news, Jessa received well wishes from fans and family members. “Congrats. So happy for y’all ,”  Jill Duggar wrote in the comments section. Hannah Duggar added, “Yayyy!!! Can’t wait to meet this sweet baby! .”

'My Girls'! See Jessa Duggar's Sweetest Shots With Her Kids Over the Years

Months before announcing her pregnancy, Jessa — who shares Spurgeon, 9, Henry, 8, Ivy, 5, Fern, 3, and George, 14 months, with Seewald — found herself to be the topic of discussion online.

After posting about her family beach day in September 2024, the former 19 Kids and Counting star faced comments from fans questioning if she could be growing her family once again.

After seeing one of the comments, Jessa decided to set the record straight writing, “Not pregnant. Just too much ice cream on vacation .”

Fans met Jessa in 2008 when her family appeared on 19 Kids and Counting. When the show was canceled in 2015, Jessa and her sister, Jill, started appearing in a new show titled Jill & Jessa: Counting On.

When the series came to an end in 2021, Jessa chose to focus on being the best mom possible away from the cameras.

Although she was raised with many siblings, Jessa realized that raising kids of your own is a whole new experience.

“When it’s your own kid, it’s totally different,” she shared with Us Weekly in July 2020. “For one, it’s your responsibility, it’s not like, ‘Here, Mom, the kid stinks, change the diaper.’ Waking up in the night, I think that was probably one of the hugest adjustments for me. Feeling that responsibility of checking on their fever and making sure they’re OK. Like, when do I know to go to the doctor?”

Duggar Family: Meet the Next Generation

One person who has been by Jessa’s side through it all is her longtime husband. Married since November 2014, the couple often document their family vacations and milestone moments via social media.

One week before announcing her pregnancy, Jessa called Seewald, 29, “my fav person in the whole wide world” after enjoying a date night.

“Never stop showing gratitude to your spouse for all the things they do to help out,” Jessa told Us in 2018. “It doesn’t matter how big or small. Sometimes couples come to expect things of each other and they stop noticing and appreciating things the other one does to help out with the kids or keep the household running smoothly.”

Blake Lively won’t let any legal drama prevent her from supporting her next big project.

On Friday, March 7, the actress stepped out at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, for the SXSW world premiere of Another Simple Favor.

Lively, 37, chose to wear a ’50s-inspired mauve Renée Massoomian dress with a full skirt as she celebrated the A Simple Favor’s sequel with director Paul Feig and her costars, including Anna Kendrick, Bashir Salahuddin, Henry Golding, Michelle Morrone and Elizabeth Perkins. Kendrick hit the red carpet first, wearing a black LaQuan Smith bustier with matching satin tuxedo trousers and Bulgari jewelry. Feig, meanwhile, embraced the Lone Star State vibes in a cowboy hat and western-inspired jacket with fringe.

On February 26, Prime Video shared the first trailer for Another Simple Favor. As seen in the preview, the film tells the story of Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) traveling to the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, to celebrate her friend Emily Nelson’s (Lively) extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman.

Everything Blake Lively's Costars Have Said About Working With Her

Along with the glamorous guests, viewers can expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square.

The film marks Lively’s first movie release since her ongoing legal drama with former costar and It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni.

The Gossip Girl alum first filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni, 41, in December 2024, months after reports that the two faced creative differences while making the August 2024 film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel It Ends With Us. She also alleged that Baldoni attempted to launch a smear campaign against her.

Baldoni denied Lively’s allegations and filed his own lawsuit against the actress, her publicist, and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, in January. He is seeking $400 million in damages after accusing the trio of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and other claims. Lively and Reynolds, 48, deny his claims. Lively’s publicist has also asked to be removed from the suit.

Paul Feig Addresses Rumor 'Simple Favor 2' Was Scrapped Due to Blake Lively

The pair’s trial is set to begin on March 9, 2026. One person who appears to be supportive of Lively is the director of Another Simple Favor.

“I’ve now made two movies with Blake and all I can say is she’s one of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented and kind people I’ve ever worked with,” Feig, 62, wrote via X in December 2024. “She truly did not deserve any of this smear campaign against her. I think it’s awful she was put through this.”

Another Simple Favor premieres on Prime Video Thursday, May 1.
