Becca Kufrin is adding “tattoo artist” to her resume after giving husband Thomas Jacobs some permanent ink.
In a joint video shared on Saturday, January 18, to the couple’s respective Instagram accounts, Kufrin, 34, was seen blowing air into a black glove and placing it on her hands. “Things you don’t want to see your tattoo artist doing,” Jacobs, 32, said, to which Kufrin laughed.
“I’m more nervous that Mama J’s here,” Kufrin said, as the camera panned to Jacob’s mom who sat in the room. “I’m nervous that she’s giving him a tattoo today,” Jacob’s mom said with a smile.
Kufrin proceeded to give Jacobs the tattoo, sitting in front of him as he sat in a chair with his forearm outstretched. “Your hand is shaking so much,” Jacobs told his wife, who concentrated on the ink.

A close-up shot of the tattoo revealed “9/21,” the date of their son’s birthday. (Kufrin and Jacobs welcomed son Benson in September 2023.)
Jacobs kissed Kufrin’s head before she continued. “Is that OK?” Kufrin asked, to which Jacobs quipped, “You nailed it. It’s the worst I’ve ever seen your penmanship, though, but you nailed it.”
“NO RAGRETS! Would you let your S.O give you a tattoo?” Jacobs captioned his Saturday post, adding in the comments section, “By FAR the worst I’ve ever seen your handwriting and it’s perfect.”
Kufrin, who got engaged to Arie Luyendyk Jr. on The Bachelor season 22 and Garrett Yrigoyen on The Bachelorette season 14, tried to find The One on the beaches of Mexico for Bachelor in Paradise season 7. On the spinoff show, Kufrin met The Bachelorette season 17 contestant and the pair formed a connection.

After a brief breakup on Bachelor in Paradise, Kufrin and Jacobs continued to pursue their romance outside of the show and got engaged in May 2022. The pair welcomed son Benson before tying the knot in October 2023.
Years after appearing on TV, Kufrin teased a possible return for her and Jacobs centered around home renovations.
“We’ve actually been talking to some producers for different shows,” Kufrin exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024. “We’ve been in talks with some people about potentially doing something like that. … I think it would be fun because Thomas and I balance each other well. He likes the, ‘I’m gonna tear this up and we have to pull the walls down and rip everything out.’ And then I panic and go, ‘Let’s just go have some wine and pick up some paints.’”
Julia Stiles is known as a former teen film queen — and perhaps her most famous character is Kat Stratford from 10 Things I Hate About You.
The smart, strong-willed high school feminist always spoke her mind and tried to avoid what others thought about her in the process. Stiles, 43, believes she’d still be doing the same today.
When asked where she thinks Kat would be now, Stiles told Vogue, “Hopefully, a lot happier out of high school. She’s either touring in a rock band or lives in a cabin in Costa Rica, makes her own sourdough bread, and has no screens around her. And, she’s totally surfing.”
Sounds right to Us!
In the 1999 coming-of-age film, Stiles and the late Heath Ledger played star-crossed lovers Kat and Patrick Verona, respectively. The pair reluctantly fall in love with each other amid a backdrop of high school angst. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Cameron James), Gabrielle Union (Chastity), Allison Janney (Ms. Perky), David Krumholtz (Michael Eckman), Larisa Oleynik (Bianca Stratford), Andrew Keegan (Joey Donner) and Susan May Pratt (Mandella) made up the star-studded supporting cast.

When recalling what it was like to work with Ledger — who died at age 28 on January 22, 2008, following an accidental drug overdose — Stiles said the Oscar winner was “such a bright light.”
“He was such an energetic, kind force. He was very magnetic, very charismatic, and we all had a great time working on that film,” she told Vogue. “I really am grateful that he was so kind to me. For my first experience being the lead in a big studio movie, and, particularly, in romantic situations, you have to really feel comfortable with the person that you’re acting opposite, and he very much made me comfortable.”
People are still as obsessed with their partnership and the Gil Junger-directed movie in general. Twenty-five years after its release, Stiles thinks fans still hold the film in high regard because “the writing was so good.”
“It was a really whip-smart team of female writers, Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith, who in many ways — like Kat Stratford — didn’t bend their wit, humor and observation to trends,” Stiles told Vogue. “They were very much pioneering, and they were like, ‘This is our personality and our sense of humor and that’s what the movie is going to be,’ and that authenticity, I think, is what audiences respond to.”
After the success of 10 Things, Stiles went on to star in Down to You, Save the Last Dance, O, The Prince and Me, and the Bourne Identity franchise. Nowadays, she’s a busy mom of three kids, whom she shares with husband Preston J. Cook, on top of being an actress, writer and director.
She recently released her directorial debut, the rom-com Wish You Were Here, starring Isabelle Fuhrman and Mena Massoud, and based on the 2017 novel by Renée Carlino.
Julia Stiles Remembers What It Was Like Working With Heath Ledger
“I wanted to make a romantic movie that was really all about the human characters,” Stiles told Us Weekly about the project, which premiered on Friday, January 17.
She also admitted that being a mother was the best “training for being a director.”
“You have to be good at time management, you have to be a multitasker. You have to be present but also think 10 steps ahead. You have to be able to operate really well with sleep deprivation,” she joked.
The actress added that with both directing and parenting you must “manage people’s emotions and needs but also guide them,” concluding, “A hundred percent [it’s] the best training.”

Olympian Ilona Maher is nursing a brutal injury following a violent collision in a recent Bristol Bears rugby match.
Maher, 28, shared an update via Instagram on Saturday, January 18, writing, “When people keep asking me if I’m OK but I just broke my nose.”
Maher included a video of herself holding up a bag of ice to her face. She also lip-synched, “Been better, Carrie Ann.” (The athlete previously said the phrase last year after Dancing With The Stars judge Inaba asked why Maher was crying after she received tough feedback on her performance.)
In her post caption, Maher further revealed how she was recuperating.
What Is Ilona Maher Doing After ‘DWTS’? Olympian Announces Rugby Return
“No sir, I am truly not OK,” she wrote.
Maher’s facial swelling went down within hours, but she was still left with a slight purple mark around her eye. In a Sunday, January 19, video, she speculated what people would think happened to her.
“Guys, stop fighting over me,” Maher joked. “There’s enough to go around. What? I am a model. Thank you so much. Oh, you’ve already fallen in love? It’ll pass.”
Maher, who won a bronze medal with the U.S. Women’s Rugby Team at the 2024 Summer Olympics, recently moved to England after signing with the Bristol squad.
“I am invested in what I’m doing now,” Maher exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2024. “Dancing with the Stars was all I was focusing on. I was in the studio every day. With rugby, with social media, it’s all I’m focused on.”
Ilona Maher Says the Olympics Were Harder Than 'DWTS'
Fresh off her Olympic triumph, Maher competed on DWTS season 33 and finished in second place with pro partner Alan Bersten. Amid her athletic training, Maher’s gone viral for online content about dating. She, however, is not searching for love at the moment.
“I think it would just take somebody very special, somebody who, as we say, enhances my life for me to want to do it,” she told Us. “I saw one video of a girl who’s like, ‘As we know, Ilona hasn’t been on a date in years.’ Wrong. I go on dates. I just don’t like a lot of people. … I always love making connections and meeting people. I think first dates are fun.”
Maher continued at the time, “You can immediately know if you don’t like somebody, but then it can also be, really, a cool experience. So, whatever happens. I’m looking for a British babe, I guess.”
