Drew Barrymore Is 50! Revisit Her Life Through the Years

Drew Barrymore has had her ups and downs — and they’ve all played out in the public eye. The former child star overcame a rough past and is now a Hollywood vet with more than 70 credits under her belt.

The California native launched onto the entertainment scene with the 1982 sci-fi E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which was directed by her godfather, Steven Spielberg. The following year, she presented at the Academy Awards at age 4.

Barrymore was born into an acting legacy thanks to her father, John Drew Barrymore, who was an actor. Her great uncle Lionel Drew famously played Mr. Potter in Frank Capra’s 1946 classic It’s a Wonderful Life.

Today, Barrymore is a box-office success. She’s starred in a string of hits — including Never Been Kissed, The Wedding Singer, Charlie’s Angels and He’s Just Not That Into You. She’s added director to her résumé and made a splash on TV with Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet, which lasted three seasons from 2017 to 2019. Barrymore also hosts her eponymous daytime show, The Drew Barrymore Show.

The actress was married to Tom Green for less than a year, divorcing in 2002. The pair reconnected in September 2020 on The Drew Barrymore Show, after 15 years of not speaking. “You’ve had a whole life and I’ve had a whole life, and it’s just really nice to come together and check in and talk about it,” Barrymore said at the time. “It thrills me to no end. I think the world of you and I celebrate you and I always have and I always will.”

“I don’t know how to date with kids. I’m not there yet. I have two young girls, and I don’t want to bring people home,” Barrymore said during a January 2022 episode of her talk show. “I think that it would take me a very long time to meet someone and get to know them before I could ever even introduce them to my daughters.”The Emmy nominee added: “I would maybe live with someone again. Maybe. But there’s no way I will ever, ever, ever be married again.”

Jenna Dewan Calls Her Kids the ‘Greatest Antidote’ for Overcoming Dark Roles

Jenna Dewan has been an actress for more than two decades — and it’s her children who have been the best medicine for shaking off her darker roles.

“Over the years, I’ve learned once I walk off the set, I sort of leave it on set,” Dewan, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting season 7 of The Rookie. “Mentally, it’s kind of [like] as soon as I’m done, I’m done.”

The actress, who plays firefighter Bailey Nune on The Rookie, noted that “sometimes it lingers” which is when she turns to her family to get her out of the funk.

“Having children is like maybe the greatest antidote to this because you come home and they don’t really care,” Dewan explained. “They’re like, ‘What am I having for dinner? And give me a bath and come read five books to me.’ And so you naturally have to switch your brain.”

Jenna Dewan Reveals Which 'The Rookie' Scene Scared Daughter Everly

Dewan shares daughter Everly, 11, with ex-husband Channing Tatum. She also shares son Callum, 4, and daughter Rhiannon, 8 months, with fiancé Steve Kazee.

During season 7 of The Rookie, Dewan faced one of her darkest story lines after her character, Bailey, was kidnapped by her ex-husband, Jason, played by Kazee, 49. After years of domestic violence against Bailey, Jason was killed, but he still haunted her — especially in the Tuesday, February 18, episode of the ABC series.

The latest episode revealed Bailey coming face-to-face with another domestic violence survivor who helped her understand that she was in fact a victim. While Bailey has learned to lean on her husband, Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion), Dewan told Us it’s not always easy to leave those stories at the office.

Do The Rookie’s Bailey and Nolan Still Want Kids After Hitman Drama?

Dewan has implemented a series of self-help tactics to better help her pivot from character back to herself quicker.

“I can either reach out to somebody and talk to somebody and call somebody on the phone or take a bath, take a long hot shower and [start] visualizing and sort of draining off me into the drain and down with the water,” she told Us. “There’s some visualization techniques that I’ve done with certain more intense days on set.”

The Step Up actress noted that she has a “toolbox of how to play intense roles and not let it linger.”

Although Dewan can step back into her home life after a long day on set, she knows that isn’t the case for many domestic violence victims. Dewan appreciates The Rookie shining a light on the truths that come with this type of situation.

Jenna Dewan Calls Coparenting With Ex-Husband Channing Tatum a ‘Journey’

“I felt like I gained a lot more insight and empathy into domestic violence victims just in the reading of the scenes and researching it,” she shared, adding, “I do hope that there are people, women and men that are watching this, that feel seen in some way and maybe even unlocks something they didn’t think of before and helps them in their own life.”

Dewan said that she has gotten a “couple messages” from people who have connected with the Jason and Bailey story line. Fans who have told her, “’I’ve been in a situation like this. I’ve had a [man] that’s really hunted me down and never let go. And you’re giving me hope that I can move on and find a relationship that’s healthy and that gets me and sees me.’”

While Dewan has been grateful that fans have reached out, she told Us, “It’s heartbreaking to think how many people are living with this kind of control and psychological [and] physical abuse in their [homes].”

The Rookie airs on ABC Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

If you or someone you know are experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.

Porsha Williams’ Ex Simon Guobadia Detained by ICE Amid Mass Deportations

Porsha Williams’ estranged husband, Simon Guobadia, has been detained by ICE, Us Weekly can confirm.

Guobadia, who was born in Nigeria, is currently being held at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s records, obtained by Us on Friday, February 21.

His status is listed as “in ICE custody,” meaning he is being held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (The detainment comes amid President Donald Trump’s mass deportation plan, which he signed into effect earlier this year after taking the Oval Office. Under the order, illegal immigrants could be deported back to their home countries.)

Guobadia, 60, came from Nigeria to the United States in 1982 and allegedly overstayed his visa and was declared deportable in 1985, according to Atlanta’s WSB-TV 2. Guobadia returned to America in 1986 and once again overstayed his work visa.

RHOA's Porsha Williams Files for Divorce From Husband Simon After 15 Months

He was arrested in 1987 and pleaded guilty to bank and credit card fraud. Guobadia was later arrested two more times and deported back to Nigeria in 1992.

Guobadia was able to return to the U.S. one month later, according to the news station, which reported on Friday that he applied for naturalization in 2016. However, Guobadia was denied by the U.S. government.

In February 2024, Guobadia made headlines again when the Atlanta Black Star reported that he had been repeatedly denied residency in the U.S. At the time, Guobadia seemed unbothered by his citizen status.

Andy Cohen Is ‘Surprised’ by Porsha Williams' Split From Simon Guobadia

“Happy Tuesday to all who ever overcame and persevered in life. You are winning👌🏾👌🏾#42yearsLivinginAmerica,” he wrote via Instagram in February 2024, sharing a photo smoking a cigar and riding on a golf cart in Georgia.

Days later Williams, 43, filed for divorce after being married to Guobadia for 15 months. The pair tied the knot in November 2022 after getting engaged in May 2021.

Porsha Williams Thanks Fans for 'Support' After Simon Guobadia Divorce News

Us reported in November 2024 that Williams was awarded “temporary, sole and exclusive possession, use and occupancy” of her and Guobadia’s shared residence in Georgia, meaning she could still film The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

The order included permission for Williams to have the “unrestricted right to film and produce television, film or social media” content on the premises. The docs obtained by Us also stated that Guobadia shall “execute any and all documents necessary to facilitate.”

Williams and Guobadia signed a prenuptial agreement prior to their wedding, but their divorce is ongoing.

Us Weekly has reached out for comment.

Where Elon Musk Stands With the Mothers of His 13 Children

Elon Musk is known for being a billionaire businessman who started PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX — but his life as a father has also made headlines.

“He hasn’t been a good dad,” Musk’s father, Errol, claimed in a February 2025 appearance on the “Wide Awake” podcast when asked about the tech guru. “They were too rich, too many nannies. Then he had five children with the same woman, five sons all brought up. Each one had its own nanny.”

When asked how Errol felt about his son’s past partners, he quipped, “Well, fathers are not terribly interested in any of their children’s husbands or wives more or less unless they go out of their way.”

Musk fathered six children with his first wife, Justine Wilson, before welcoming three kids with Grimes. He shares three more kids with Shivon Zilis and allegedly fathered Ashley St. Clair’s child, who was born in late 2024.

Elon Musk's Family Guide: Meet His Children and Their Mothers

While Musk claimed via X in June 2022, “I love all my kids so much,” not all of their moms seem to agree on how he parents.

Scroll down to meet the mothers of Musk’s children — and see where he stands with each one:

Justine Wilson

Musk was married to Wilson from 2000 to 2008. The pair welcomed their first child, son Nevada, in 2002. Nevada died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) when he was 10 weeks old. The pair later welcomed twins Vivian and Griffin in 2004 with the help of IVF. Musk and Wilson welcomed triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian in 2006 again using IVF.

Since their divorce, Wilson has kept quiet about her marriage to Musk for the most part. However, she wrote an essay for Marie Claire in September 2010, calling herself a “starter wife” for Musk.

“Although I am estranged from Elon — when it comes to the children, I deal with his assistant — I don’t regret my marriage,” she wrote. “I’ve worked through some anger, both at Elon for rendering me so disposable, and at myself for buying into a fairy tale when I should have known better.”

Elon Musk’s Estranged Daughter Says She Found Out About New Sibling Online

Wilson, who is an author, added, “But I will always respect the brilliant and visionary person that he is. I also can’t regret the divorce (our case was bifurcated, which means that even though the property issues aren’t settled, our marriage is legally dead). Elon and I share custody of the children, who are thriving. I feel grounded now, and deeply grateful for my life.”

While Wilson has stayed mostly out of the spotlight, her child Vivian, who is transgender, has publicly fought back against Musk. Vivian filed a name change request in April 2022 to legally be acknowledged as female and change her surname from Musk to Wilson.

“I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” she told a Los Angeles court in June 2022. A judge granted the request that same month.

Grimes

The tech billionaire revealed in May 2018 that he was dating Grimes (real name Claire Boucher). Two years later, the musician gave birth to their son X AE A-XII. News broke in December 2021, that Musk and Grimes welcomed their second baby, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, via surrogate. The couple, who split in 2022, also share son Techno Mechanicus, born that same year.

Grimes has been very vocal about her ups and downs with Musk over the years. In October 2023, she sued her ex over parenting rights of their three children. The following year, Grimes claimed she didn’t see one of her children for five months because of Musk.

“Spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers rights having my Instagram posts and modeling used as reasons I shouldn’t have my kids and fighting and detaching from the love of my life as he becomes unrecognizable to me, with a fraction of his resources (or iq/ strategy experience), all the while I didn’t see one of my babies for 5 months,” she alleged in November 2024, adding, “Most of my experiences these last years should remain behind closed doors.”

Meek Mill Jokes Elon Musk Can’t Have ‘More Baby Mothers’ Than Him

Grimes hinted at more trouble with Musk in February 2025 when she publicly urged him to respond to her about a “medical crisis” involving one of their kids.

“I am sorry to do this publicly, but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation,” Grimes wrote via X at the time. “This requires immediate attention. If you don’t want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can do that [so] we can move forward on solving this. This is urgent, Elon.”

In the since-deleted tweet, she claimed that Musk refused to answer her privately. “I’m not giving any details, but he won’t respond to texts call or emails and has skipped every meeting and our child will suffer lifelong impairment if he doesn’t respond asap, so I need him to f—ing respond and if I have to apply public pressure then I guess that’s where we are at,” she alleged.

Shivon Zilis

Musk and Zillis welcomed twins Strider and Azure in November 2021. Bloomberg reported in June 2024 that the pair recently welcomed a third child together.

Zillis has remained somewhat quiet about her kids and her relationship with Musk. However, in Walter Isaacson’s 2023 biography about the Tesla founder, she said, “He really wants smart people to have kids. Zillis said that Musk offered to be her sperm donor so her children “would be genetically his.”

As of February 2025, Zillis appeared to be in good standing with Musk. She posted a photo with their twins on Valentine’s Day, writing via X, “Lil loves of my life.” Musk commented on the post with a smiley face with hearts emoji.

Ashley St. Clair

St. Clair surprised fans in February 2025 after she announced via X that she allegedly gave birth to Musk’s 13th child, their first together.

“I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” the author alleged. “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”

She continued, “I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.”

Despite her allegations of being silenced by Musk, her representative claimed via a statement on X that St. Clair and Musk “have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time.”

The February 2025 statement continued: “We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation, and Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share.”

Musk has yet to publicly acknowledge St. Clair’s child as his own.

‘Heavyweights’ Came Out 30 Years Ago: Where Is the Disney Cast Now?

Before Kenan Thompson and Judd Apatow were household names — and Ben Stiller was still on the rise — they teamed up for 1995’s Heavyweights.

The Disney big-screen comedy about youngsters at a “weight loss camp” and the manic fitness guru Tony Perkis (Stiller) who takes over has since become a cult classic.

“Somehow, I don’t think this will be at the head of the Disney+ queue ever. In fact, I’m not sure they are aware they made it,” Stiller wrote via X in February 2025 while honoring the film’s 30th Anniversary. “But that was an incredibly fun summer in North Carolina 30 years ago. #Heavyweights.”

Thompson, who played one of the campers, also reflected on its staying power via Instagram. “The history books will say this squad instilled a level of fear not yet known to man, and certainly not to @benstiller,” he teased in February 2025. “THIRTY YEARS of #Heavyweights and it still feels like just yesterday I was packing up for camp. What a time!!!”

Holly Scarfone Claims Her Ex Scott Disick 'Pressured' Her to Get Surgery

Holly Scarfone pulled back the covers on her relationship with Scott Disick — and shared alleged details about their highs and lows.

“This is where my journey actually began, is when I had my first very public relationship with somebody in Hollywood,” Scarfone, 26, began her first “Holly in Hollywood” podcast episode, which aired on Tuesday, February 18.

She noted, “I’m not gonna name any names, I don’t wanna get sued” but throughout the podcast she hinted it was Disick, now 41, calling the mystery man “Rot Shnisnick.”

“Disclaimer, I don’t wanna put anybody down. I have been silent about this for years. … I was really young when this happened and the whole thing was quite scary to me,” she recalled. “But I feel like now I feel a little bit more comfortable in front of the camera and maybe my story can help anybody else out there.”

Scott Disick’s Dating History: From Kourtney Kardashian to Amelia Hamlin

Scarfone gained fame after being on season 3 of Too Hot to Handle back in 2022. Following her breakup with contestant Nathan Soan Mngomezulu, she was spotted spending time with Disick in February 2022. The pair fueled romance speculation for several months, including exchanging cheeky Instagram messages that May.

The twosome, however, never publicly confirmed their status. Scarfone appeared to break her silence on the relationship on Tuesday. She recalled the relationship starting “literally two weeks after I landed in L.A.” and revealed that the man was one of her “celebrity crushes.”

Scarfone said she met the man in question after her friend posted photos of her out in Los Angeles on his Instagram. “This guy literally texted my friend and was like, ‘Who is this girl in the photos?’’ and the mutual friend agreed to set up a dinner between Scarfone and an unidentified male.

Scott Disick's Ups and Downs Through the Years

“I remember being so shy. It was a good time,” she recalled of their hang out, which included two other friends in Malibu. The next day, Scarfone woke up to pictures of her out with the celebrity posted everywhere.

“This was during the time that this celebrity, their ex that they dated for a long time was getting married. So there was a lot of media following ‘What is this guy up to now? Has he moved on? What is he doing?’” she said, seemingly referring to Disick’s ex Kourtney Kardashian marrying Travis Barker in spring 2022. (Disick shares three children with Kardashian, sons Mason, 15, and Reign, 10, and daughter Penelope, 12.)

She claimed that after she jetted off to Paris for a trip, her new beau sent her flowers before he too was set to arrive in France. “It was insanity,” she recalled of that time in her life.

Scarfone and Disick allegedly hung out in Paris days after they met in person. “That was the beginning of uncovering everything and the darkness of Hollywood. It was so electric to me,” she mused.

Once she spent personal time with Disick she said it “forever changed the course of my life” and shined a light on the “dark” side of the entertainment industry.

“I feel like this is the first time that I was used to be a product,” Scarfone claimed. “I genuinely was so naive to the fact that I thought I had a genuine connection with this person, and I thought they were so misunderstood, and I can help him and he’s just going through it.”

She further alleged that during her time with the Kardashians star made her second guess her body.

“I was pressured to get surgery — by the way, disclaimer, I’ve gotten my nose done since, but at the time, I had never gotten anything done. I felt pretty secure in myself, I felt good in myself,” Scarfone said. “But this older gentleman said to me — I remember sending him a Happy Easter text, and he goes, ‘Oh, can we get that boob job we were talking about? Why don’t you just take some of that fat and throw it in the back? And we can do it all in one sitting.’” (She also shared the alleged texts between the pair via her TikTok.)

It wasn’t until she got out of the relationship that he was “trying to mold me into like a template and like perhaps this is something that runs in his family and is a common theme.”

Scarfone explained that her “breaking point” was when she was invited to a birthday party in L.A. and the paparazzi was waiting outside. She claimed the photographers were yelling his “sister-in-law’s name,” because Scarfone was called a Kylie Jenner lookalike in the media.

She recalled being photographed falling and her butt being plastered all over the tabloids. “It got to the point where I was shutting off my phone for like 24 hours at a time. I was sitting in my apartment in L.A. and it got to the point I didn’t want to go outside,” she confessed, noting around that time she underwent a few plastic surgery procedures.

Scarfone confirmed that the relationship “fizzled out” following that “dark time.”

‘Southern Charm’ Cast Weighs In on Shep Rose’s Ex-Girlfriend Sienna Evans

Shep Rose made it clear he was all-in on girlfriend Sienna Evans on season 10 of Southern Charm — but most of his castmates weren’t as convinced.

Shep had a whirlwind romance with Sienna, who is nearly 20 years younger than him, in 2024. But by November of that year, Shep revealed he was single. The ups and down of his short-lived relationship with Sienna have been front and center on season 10 of the Bravo series, which began airing in December 2024.

During the February 20 episode, fans got a look at just how deep Shep’s feelings were for Sienna when he and his castmates were on a trip to her native Bahamas. Shep, for his part, professed his love for Sienna and sent her a long text about their possible future.

The episode also shined a light on Sienna’s feelings — which appeared to be less strong. “Were we together? Maybe, I don’t know,” Sienna told the girls when asked flat out if she was dating Shep.

She later explained, “We’re so similar in terms of being noncommittal. And it works for both of us.”

Craig Conover

Craig told the cameras during the February 13 episode that “you shouldn’t have to force someone into liking you” after seeing Shep get ghosted by Sienna. Once he finally met Sienna in person during day one of their Bahamas trip, Criag was convinced it was a one-sided romance.

“I have never felt someone’s aura like this in my entire life. I feel like I can sense people’s energies right away,” Craig explained. “I know any hope that I had that Sienna was genuine with her feelings with Shep disappeared as soon as she walked in the room.”

During the “Text Message in a Bottle” episode, which aired on February 20, Craig expressed his concerns to the group.

“The tension, you could cut it with a knife,” he claimed before telling the cameras, “I watch enough 90 Day Fiancé to know it just didn’t feel right.”

Looking back at the trip, Craig revealed that he could sense that Sienna would get a stomach ache and need to leave early — which she did on night one.

“Her body language is not … romantic. She’s basically like, ‘Just so you know, I’m going to have a stomach by the end of this dinner,’” he quipped during the Southern Charm: After Show while watching back Sienna’s arrival to dinner with the cast.

Taylor Ann Green

Taylor, who dated Shep from 2020 to 2022, exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2024 that she was happy to be far removed from Shep’s relationship drama this season.

“It’s something that I just kind of look at and go, ‘I’m glad that’s not me.’ And I mean that respectfully, but I’m in such a happy place where I go, ‘Everything does happen for a reason, and I’m very happy with the person that I’m with,’” she said, referring to her boyfriend, Gaston Rojas. “And so seeing that I’m just going, I’m just glad it’s not me.”

During a January episode of the show, Taylor grilled Shep over his romance with Sienna and appeared to take her side. However, she later comforted Shep when it became clear that she wasn’t that into him.

Austen Kroll

During the “Red Flags” episode, Austen got real with Shep, telling him, “You’ve only hung out with her for like six weekends. This is a 26-year-old girl who’s like, ‘I don’t know what the f—k I want.’ And that’s what it’s sounding like to me.”

The following episode, which aired on February 6, Austen was even more wary of Sienna’s intentions. “I think that Sienna told Shep that she loved him so that she could keep him on the hook. That kinda gave her a longer leash to do what she wanted,” he said in a confessional. “Clearly whatever she wants to do is ghosting Shep for days at a time.”

When the group arrived in the Bahamas, Austen continued to be skeptical of Sienna. “I am not doctor love, but you fly to the Bahamas and you call your girlfriend upon landing. You’d be in the airport waiting for that person to arrive!” he told the cameras during the February 13 episode.

While talking to Shep on the February 20 After Show, Austen called BS on Sienna having a “stomach ache” on night one that made her leave their hotel early.

“She was like, ‘I don’t feel well, I have to go home.’ Get the f–k out of here. That is the oldest trick in the book,” Austen quipped. “It was so clear, not to you apparently.”

Madison LeCroy

Madison teased in an exclusive interview with Us that she did “enjoy the ending” to Shep and Sienna’s relationship, confirming it got messy.

“Shep and I have this relationship where at this point, we can kind of just poke fun at each other, even if it’s like me bringing up things I’ve said in the past, and he doesn’t take offense to it because he’s actually kind of the same way,” Madison explained in December 2024. “So I definitely poke him a little bit this season, especially when I see a girl that I don’t know likes him as much as he likes her. So I have fun. He’s meddled in my relationships. So back at ya.”

Madison made her feelings about Sienna clear from the start of the season as well. She described her as “way too pretty for Shep” during Sienna’s Southern Charm debut. Madison claimed during the “Bahama Blues” episode, which aired on February 13, that Sienna was “not that into you, that’s the deal.”

She also told Shep to his face the next episode, “She doesn’t like you. I’m just saying.”

Leva Bonaparte

During an interview with Us, Leva broke down Shep’s state of mind to start the season — which was filmed in spring and early summer 2024 — and recalled his thoughts about his possible future with Sienna.

“He’s like, ‘Can you imagine me and my curly haired babies running down the beach? I’ll be Warren Buffet, except for without the guitar,’” Leva exclusively told Us on February 5. “I was like, ‘Wow, you have this planned out.’ I think he was literally thinking he was going to own a hotel in The Bahamas with all his little kids.”

Leva also revealed that she thinks Shep’s breakup with Taylor — which was his longest relationship to date — left him more vulnerable with Sienna.

“I do think he still loves Taylor. I don’t know if he’ll end up with Taylor, but I do think that that was a very special love,” she shared. “And I think he was so excited to have some version of that again, that he got ahead of himself.”

Leva noted that Sienna was pretty transparent about her intentions when the group met her for the first time. “She was like, ‘I’m here for a good time, not a long time.’ I was like, ‘Wow, then you’re perfect for Shep.’ Both just out here having a good time,” the Southern Hospitality star recalled. “And then when he started to talk about how in love was then it was a little bit different.”

Looking back, Leva told Us that Sienna felt like someone who “wanted to be on the show” and was interested in the “idea of Shep” because he’s so “fun.”

“She knows Shep for what she sees, and then all of a sudden Shep’s like, ‘Oh no, I’m into commitment.’ She’s like, ‘Wait, what? This is not the narrative you have sold me thus far as a viewer,’” Leva added. “I think that jarred her too.”

Patricia Altschul

During the “Red Flags” episode, which aired on January 30, Patricia revealed to Madison that her son, Whitney Sudler-Smith, had allegedly been messaged by Sienna on Raya before she connected with Shep. (Sienna claimed via TikTok in February that Whitney messaged her and she had no idea he was friends with Shep until she was visiting Charleston and dating Shep.)

“As far as I’m concerned, it screams ulterior motives to me,” Patricia said. “It sounds like she’s working a lot of angles here. Stalker!”

Whitney Sudler-Smith

One episode later, Whitney slammed Shep over his relationship with Sienna and claimed that “she just liked me first” but he allegedly “didn’t respond” to her on Raya.

When Shep confessed during the February 6 episode that he didn’t know where he and Sienna stood, Whitney went off on him. “I’ll tell you exactly where you stand. Shep. Not rich enough. Boring,” Whitney quipped. “Not famous enough. That’s the overriding issue.”

Rodrigo Reyes

“I thought it was extremely weird that she wanted to come hang out with us without Shep. She wanted to go with us [in the Bahamas],” Rodrigo told Taylor during the February 20 Southern Charm: After Show. “I was like, ‘Listen girl, you kinda were rude to me the first night.’ I was like, ‘I don’t even want to be around you.’ It’s kinda annoying to be quite honest.”

Rodrigo claimed that during their trip, Sienna was “not that nice” to him even though he was one of the only people in the group that had spent time with her in the past.

“Every experience that I had with her was so lovely,” he said, referring to their past hangouts. Rodrigo then claimed, “There was a definite switch that was flipped. She was very standoffish.”

Venita Aspen

Venita didn’t comment much on Sienna herself, but she did reveal in the February 20 After Show that Shep was “obsessed” with the model. “This was loverboy Shep. He was confessing his love,” she recalled.

“A woman does deserve to be loved the way that she was loved by him,” season 10 newbie Salley confessed during the February 20 Bravo After Show.

Salley alleged that Sienna, “Just didn’t want it back,” admitting, “I think it was s—y of her not to respond.”

Jenna Dewan Jokes 'The Rookie' Team 'Gave Up' Trying to Hide Her Baby Bump

Jenna Dewan Jokes The Rookie Team Gave Up Trying to Hide Her Baby Bump

Jenna Dewan became part of the “actresses who hid a pregnancy on set” while pregnant with her third baby in 2024 — and it was a challenge for The Rookie’s costume team.

“Oh my god, well I got so big at the end, they just put me under the covers in the bed because I think they all gave up,” Dewan, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, February 19, while attending the LA Art Show Opening Night in Los Angeles.

The actress, who plays firefighter Bailey Nune on The Rookie, recalled hiding “behind counters” and wearing a “lot of crossbody bags” filming season 6 of the ABC series.

“There was a lot of Amazon packages being carried or plants. I remember … a lot of [it] being in the car,” Dewan said. “I mean, honestly the wardrobe deserves an Emmy just for that alone. I kept growing and growing and growing, and [they were] finding unique ways to set up scenes.”

Jenna Dewan Says Getting Dressed While Pregnant Is a ‘Workout of Sorts’

Dewan announced in January 2024 that she was pregnant with her third baby, her second with fiancé Steve Kazee. By March of that year, the actress revealed that getting dressed on set was a “workout of sorts,” sharing Instagram videos from her trailer for fans to see her growing baby bump.

“I was just happy when I was in a fitting and we put on a sweater or some shirt and we would all gasp and go, ‘OMG! You can’t even tell,’” she told Us of the experience. “It was nice to not rely on purses and boxes and plants, when the sweater, you know, feels concealing, it’s nice to find these easy to wear outfits.”

Dewan remembered that “sometimes it would work” and other times they would “have to be more creative.” She joked, “Depending on how much breakfast I ate that morning, there was like, you know, you really had to play around with it.”

Dewan finished out season 6 pregnant, giving birth to daughter Rhiannon in June 2024. (She and Kazee, 49, also share son Callum, 4. Dewan and ex-husband Channing Tatum share her eldest child, daughter Everly, 11.)

After welcoming Rhiannon, Dewan took about two months off before The Rookie started filming season 7. While she no longer had to hide her baby bump, Dewan said there were challenges to having a newborn on set.

“It was a juggle, she was 7 almost 8 weeks and I brought her to set with me,” Dewan recalled, giving the producers and show creators a shout-out for being “incredible” and giving her “breaks to just run back” to nurse.

She remembered timing her breaks “around turnarounds and scenes [where she] would breastfeed or they would come up to me with Rhiannon and I would breastfeed her.”

Although it was “crazy” at times, Dewan said they all just made it work. “It is one of those things you don’t really know when you’re in it, you are just doing it,” she shared. “Afterwards you’re like, ‘How did I do that?’”

Looking back, Dewan told Us it didn’t feel rushed, and she was ready to return to set.

“There was a part of me, where going back to work, I think, turns your brain on in a way post-baby that is good,” she explained. “You kind of break the brain fog for a minute, you feel like yourself slowly but surely.”

The actress said she was “able to get hair and makeup done and feel back in my character,” adding that she felt “lucky” to bring Rhiannon along for the ride.

“Getting to have her close is a luxury I know not every woman has and I was grateful for that and I just felt it helped me get back,” Dewan continued, confessing, “There [were] days where I was obviously exhausted, but luckily it is an ensemble show so I am not in every single scene, every single day, so I did get a lot of breaks.”

The Rookie airs on ABC Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Southern Hospitality’s Maddi Feels ‘Pressure’ From Joe After Fake Wedding

Southern Hospitality Recap Maddi Admits She Feels Pressure From Joe After Fake Wedding 656
Charles Sykes/Bravo

Maddi Reese didn’t legally marry Joe Bradley in Las Vegas, but that didn’t stop him from calling her his “wife” on Southern Hospitality — with or without her approval.

“That Vegas wedding wasn’t real, and I think Joe thinks it was,” Maddi confessed during the Thursday, February 20, episode of the Bravo series.

Maddi revealed that Joe can’t stop calling her his “wife” now that they are back in Charleston, which didn’t appear to sit well with her. “The wedding was for fun. I don’t think it was serious,” she said. “Vacation’s over, but maybe not for Joe.”

Joe and Maddi, who began dating in April 2024, had a fake ceremony with their friends while in Las Vegas that summer. The nuptials were featured on Southern Hospitality earlier this season — and came as a total surprise to Maddi.

Southern Hospitality's Joe and Maddi Get Married in Vegas — But Was It Real?

On the latest episode, the group reflected on the Sin City wedding and revealed that Joe was taking it much more seriously than his bride. Emmy Sharrett claimed that Joe got “pissed” at Maddi on their fake wedding night because she stayed out with the girls.

“He’s like, ‘You’ve just been down their gambling and left me alone on our wedding night,’” Emmy recalled to her boyfriend, Will Kulp.

Joe admitted that he was “ready to go home” with Maddi after the ceremony and have a “romantic night in our honeymoon suite.” When his plans were thwarted, he didn’t react well.

“I get laid most other nights, how do I not get laid on our actual wedding night?” he quipped. Maddi pointed out, “It’s not our actual wedding night!”

Later in the episode, Maddi told her Republic Garden & Lounge boss Leva Bonaparte about the “commitment ceremony” calling it “hilarious.”

Southern Hospitality’s Joe and Maddi Reveal They’ve Been Dating Since April

Joe, meanwhile, confided in pal Bradley Carter at a hotdog event that he’s on a “one-year plan” and he wanted to “propose pretty soon.”

At the time, the couple had been dating four months, but Joe said it felt like they’d been together for a year.  “If she goes on the road [to DJ] and I’m not with her I like the feeling of being engaged,” Joe confessed.

Maddi, for her part, had a heart-to-heart with her mother about the faux nuptials and Joe’s intensity about their relationship.

“I don’t think we’re ready to get really married. We don’t even live with each other. I just think my No. 1 priority is my career to me right now,” Maddi shared, noting, “As much as I love Joe, my independence is the most important thing to me.”

When Maddi attempted to share her feelings with Joe, it didn’t go as planned. After telling Maddi, “You are my wife” she revealed that she was looking into buying a house as an investment.

“At what point do we move in together?” Joe asked. She replied, “I just hate this pressure right now. Everything is so great. We’re in this honeymoon phase.”

Joe claimed, “I’m not pressuring you,” but told her their current living situation “isn’t going to last forever” and he was frustrated having to constantly drive to her place and her not returning the favor.

Maddi revealed that she was worried about moving in too soon because of her last relationship with Trevor Stokes, which ended badly. She even pointed out that Joe was the one who “gave me a hard time” over the choice to live with Trevor.

“Now you’re sitting here putting me in the same situation,” she explained, reminding him that he “ripped [her] apart” when she lived with Trevor.

Joe fired back that she had “no future with that guy” and got upset that she was comparing their relationship to her past romance.

“I feel like I just got out of living with a boyfriend and watching the turmoil and the hell to get out of that. I’m so scared that’s going to happen to me again,” Maddi confessed. “I don’t even want to risk that. It’s almost too fast for me.”

Southern Charm’s Shep Rose and Girlfriend Sienna Evans’ Romance Timeline

Shep Rose fell hard for Sienna Evans after only dating for a couple of months — but their romance was short-lived.

“Sienna and I met on this dating site. I was enthralled with her,” Rose said during a December 2024 episode of Southern Charm. “I just think she’s so sexy.”

The couple, who sparked a romance in early 2024, dated long-distance for the duration of their romance and before calling it quits that fall.

After their relationship fizzled out, Rose detailed one of their biggest fights that transpired after Rose purchased two tickets for the Miss Bahamas to travel to Charleston. Ahead of her third visit, Rose was surprised to learn that Evans — who was 26 years old at the time — hadn’t booked her flight.

“She was like, ‘Hey, I’ve been really busy. Will you just get my flights?’ … I said yeah, OK, and I bottled it up,” Rose recalled during a December 2024 appearance on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast. “And then after the weekend, I said something to her… I said, ‘I really need to get this off my chest … I just don’t appreciate the way that was handled.”

He noted, “I made a lot of plans and I took care of everything” and asked her to “meet me somewhere in the middle.” Rose pointed out he was “not a desperate man who’s flying girls around.”

Evans allegedly responded, “Where I come from, the man takes care of everything,” which led to a brief split. The twosome eventually reconnected before calling it quits for good.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Shep started to comment on Evans’ social media posts in the new year. “Love grows,” Evans captioned a photo of roses blooming on January 7.

“I’ve never heard that song before in my life. But it has my last name in it. So I’ll support,” Rose replied, referring to Edison Lighthouse’s full song title, “Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)” from their 1970 hit.

Evans cheekily wrote back in the Instagram comments, “‘You’re so vain … you probably think this song is about you …’”

Rose revealed during a season 10 episode of Southern Charm that he first told Evans he “loved her” when they were in Palm Beach, Florida in March 2024. “I meant it. I felt it,” he said of the big moment.

April 2024

The model met the bulk of Rose’s friends during a visit to Charleston, which was filmed for season 10 of Southern Charm. During her trip, she attended a Doggy Parton birthday bash for Rodrigo Reyes’ pooch.

Rose brought his Bravo castmates down to the Bahamas to see Evans while they were dating. The getaway was captured on film for season 10 of the reality show. During the episode, which aired in 2025, Rose revealed he hadn’t seen Evans in person in “over a month and a half.”

November 2024

Rose teased his and Evans’ relationship status at Bravo Fan Fest, saying, “I don’t know if I want to reveal because of Season 10, but I was right there and I got pretty cut down, let’s just say. And it’s all out there for everyone to see, so.”

He seemingly confirmed he was single again, revealing that he was back on the dating app Raya. Rose noted this time around that he upped his minimum dating age to “28 and above,” whereas it used to be 26 years old.

Evans made her Southern Charm debut during season 10, episode 2, while on a FaceTime call with Rose. The following episode, Evans showed up in person to attend a dog party in Charleston where she was introduced to his ex Taylor Ann Green. (Green and Rose called it quits in July 2022 after two years of dating.)

“Nice to meet you. I’ve heard so much about you,” Evans told Green in the episode. Green replied, “Oh, thank you. Well, hopefully good things. Were they good?” Evans then responded, “Mostly.”

As Rose and Evans’ relationship played out on the Bravo series, the TV personality got real about his feelings for her pre-split.

“She was a very interesting girl,” Rose revealed during a December 2024 appearance on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast. “I really liked talking to her and spending time with her, and we had a lot of very lovely, tender moments, and it was not for nothing. I mean, don’t believe everything you see on TV.”

January 2025

The cracks in Rose and Evans’ relationship became more evident during the January 30 episode of Southern Charm. Rose explained to pal Austen Kroll that after Evans traveled to Africa, she started to ghost him.

“I was kinda spiraling,” Rose explained, noting that when Evans eventually texted him, she said she needed “space.” Rose later confessed, “My fear, my paranoia is there’s some f—ing dude.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Patricia Altschul told Madison LeCroy that Evans approached her son, Whitney Sudler-Smith, before Rose started pursuing her. “It screams ulterior motives to me,” Altschul said of Evans “angles.”

Rose admitted during the February 6 episode of the Bravo series that he wasn’t “quite sure” where he and Evans stood. “There’s a part of me that thinks … we kinda remember how much we make each other happy, and we move from there,” Rose said of his hopes for his trip to the Bahamas to see Evans.

Once the group was in the Bahamas, which was highlighted in multiple February episodes, it became clear that Rose was more excited about Evans than she was about him.

“I know where I stand. I don’t know where she stands,” Rose told his friends during the February 13 episode, while Craig Conover and Kroll claimed that Evans was leading Rose on.

When Evans showed up to the resort, Rose told her how much he loved her and missed her, and she didn’t give back the same energy. “I’m wildly, wildly attracted to you and I’m actually in love with you,” Rose confessed. Evans responded, “I feel like we never kinda defined what the relationship was.”

'Southern Charm’ Cast: A Complete Guide to Who Has Dated Each Other

Evans broke her silence about the relationship on February 19, first clearing up Sudler-Smith’s claims that they connected on Raya before Evans met Rose. Evans alleged via TikTok that it was Sudler-Smith who “direct requested” her first.

She explained that it felt like a “total catfish” when she did meet Sudler-Smith in person while visiting Rose in Charleston because she “did not recognize him” based on his photos. It wasn’t until she was stateside with Rose that she allegedly realized they knew each other — or that Sudler-Smith previously messaged her.

Evans also claimed that despite her grandmother being a Southern Charm fan, she didn’t know Rose was on the series when they first connected on Raya. “He messaged me and he was like, ‘Oh, you’re from the Bahamas? I always go to the Bahamas, I love the Bahamas,’” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Oh, he’s cute,’ or whatever, and that’s how we met. And then he followed me on Instagram and we started talking on Instagram and that’s kind of how things started.”

Why George Clooney's Wife Amal and 2 Kids ‘Hate’ Him Dyeing His Hair

George Clooney can already hear the laughter coming from his family after having to dye his hair for his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck.

“My wife [Amal Clooney] is going to hate it because nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair,” George, 63, said during an interview with The New York Times published Thursday, February 20.

To accurately portray CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow, George will have to cover up his salt-and-pepper hair with a black dye. The costume change is necessary, but the actor knows he’ll get flack at home for it.

“My kids are going to just laugh at me nonstop,” he revealed, referring to his and Amal’s 7-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella.

George also had to perfect his “inhaling” for the role. Murrow had a three-pack-a-day habit of smoking cigarettes before he died in 1965 after a battle with lung cancer. The broadcaster was 57.

“I go outside so the kids don’t see and smoke a little bit,” George said of his Broadway prep, noting he planned to use herbal cigarettes while on stage.

The actor noted that he’s personally not a fan of smoking because “eight uncles and aunts all died of lung cancer,” while his father, who is 91, didn’t smoke and is still alive and kicking.

Everything George and Amal Clooney Have Said About Parenthood

While George previously starred in the 2005 movie Good Night, and Good Luck, he’ll be switching things up in its Broadway adaptation. He played nonsmoker and TV producer Fred Friendly in the film, but this time around he’s tackling the See It Now host Murrow, who famously connected with radio listeners during his WWII broadcasts before becoming a TV anchor.

When he’s not preparing for the Broadway show, which premieres in March, George said he’s soaking up every moment with his wife and children — even if his kids don’t really care about his career accolades.

“My son’s favorite hero is Batman. I’m like, ‘You know I was Batman.’ He’s like, ‘Not really.’ I go, ‘You have no idea how right you are,’” George quipped. “If he knew that I was that Batman, he’d never have respect for me.” (George portrayed Batman/Bruce Wayne in 1997’s Batman & Robin. He has since apologized for being the Batman with nipples.)

Although Alexander doesn’t care about who his dad has played in a movie, the Oscar winner is happy to go along with whatever activity he and his sister want: including bowling.

“I haven’t been bowling in 30 years. Oh my God! It’s an amazing thing, getting older, where you think you can still do stuff that you love,” George said after recently hitting the bowling alley with his family.

The ER alum added that as he gets older, his children have managed to keep him young.

“We’re riding in the car to school, and I make them listen to heavy metal because I just like it when they sing,” George said of his go-to bonding tactics. “My daughter has fallen in love with tragic songs. She loves Billie Eilish’s ‘What Was I Made For?’ and Harry Nilsson’s ‘Without You.’ But they’re happy kids, so I’m really lucky.”

‘Southern Charm’ Star Shep Rose’s Dating History: Bravo Costars and Beyond

Shep Rose has become Southern Charm’s eternal bachelor after romancing several costars and dating on and off for the past decade.

“I’ve kinda given up. I’ve kinda thrown in the towel with Shep,” original Southern Charm star Cameran Eubanks exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2018. “Shep likes the ladies. He’s not ready for just one, and it’s OK.”

Eubanks teased that Rose is a “George Clooney,” meaning if he settles down it’ll be later in life. (George married Amal Clooney in 2014 at the age of 53.)

“I make jokes and say that maybe Palmer will be the one. By the time he’s, like, 70!” she added, referring to her daughter, who was born in November 2017.

‘Southern Charm’ Cast’s Dating History: Inside the Bravo Stars' Love Lives

All jokes aside, Rose has become one of Charleston’s “Peter Pans,” as he appears to like not growing up — like a lot of the men in the city. Rose, however, has dated a few promising suitors over the years.

His longest relationship to date was with costar Taylor Ann Green, but after their 2022 split, he was back on the market.

Baird and Rose dated prior to joining the cast of Southern Charm, which premiered in 2013. During season 6 of the show, which aired in 2019, Madison LeCroy claimed that Baird got chlamydia from Rose during their relationship. They both denied the hurtful allegations.
Baird moved on with Nick Volz, with whom she shares one child, son Yates, who was born in December 2023.

During season 3 of the Bravo series, Clements professed her feelings for Rose after years of friendship. “I was getting jealous [of your other relationship]. Well, maybe I love you,” she told him during a 2016 episode. “I’ve loved you for a long time. Of course, you’ve known.”
Rose claimed he “didn’t know,” and the pair’s relationship never turned romantic despite their continued flirtation. To this day, the pair still have a platonic friendship.

Rose attempted to pursue costar Meissner during season 4, which aired in 2017. He was shut down on several occasions. Meissner briefly dated castmate Austen Kroll that same season, but things later fizzled out.
Following her reality TV romances, Meissner became a mom, welcoming her first baby in September 2023.

Rose confirmed in July 2018 that he and Dennis had slept together “six or seven times” throughout their friendship. He revealed during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that the first hookup happened during season 1 of the Bravo series, which aired in 2013, when Dennis was pursuing Thomas Ravenel. Dennis now shares daughter Kensie and son Saint with ex Ravenel. (It was later revealed that Dennis and Rose hooked up after the birth of her daughter Kensie, which was in March 2014.)
“Originally I was [her booty call],” Rose explained on the talk show. “But then she [got] back with Whitney [Sudler-Smith] and Thomas and I was just like ‘No, no, no!’”

Rose fell for Clark during his Bravo dating series RelationShep, which premiered in 2017. Although Clark left the show early to return to her job in New York City, Rose picked her as the winner during the January 2018 finale.
Once the finale aired, Rose confirmed that he and Clark called it quits once the cameras stopped rolling. “We sort of just drifted apart, by no real fault of anyone,” he told People at the time. “I went home and we were sort of texting a little less. And then I came back to New York one last time to see her, and it was clear there that it was over.”
Clark is now married to Jake Grayston, whom she wed in September 2022.

Rose and Green began dating in early 2020, and the start of their relationship was documented on season 7 of Southern Charm. During the season 7 reunion, which aired in January 2021, Rose confessed to cheating on Green, but the pair pushed past the infidelity.
Us confirmed in July 2022 that Rose and Green called it quits. During the season 8 reunion, which was filmed in September 2022, Green accused Rose of sleeping with “over 300 women” during their two-and-a-half-year romance. He apologized for hurting her and denied being a chronic cheater.
Green exclusively told Us in October 2023 that she had a new boyfriend, Gaston Rojas.

Rose sparked a romance with Evans in early 2024 after meeting on the dating app Raya. The pair were hot and heavy during the spring months — Evans even came to visit him in Charleston from her native Bahamas multiple times — but the relationship began to fizzle that summer.
Fans watched the downfall of their romance during season 10 of Southern Charm, which transpired after the group went to the Bahamas. At the time, it became clear that Rose was more serious about Evans than the model was about him. Rose confirmed in November 2024 that he was single.

Kate Bosworth and Justin Long’s Relationship Timeline

Kate Bosworth and Justin Long kept their romance under wraps after connecting on a 2021 film project — but fans were quick to notice their chemistry.

The couple hit it off while working on the movie House of Darkness in spring 2021. Things between Bosworth and Long seemingly became romantic after Bosworth announced in August 2021 that she and husband Michael Polish had called it quits.

Bosworth and Long fueled speculation that they were in a relationship in fall 2021 after being spotted together on multiple occasions. The Art of More alum began “liking” a variety of snaps on the Lady of the Manor actor’s social media accounts, including a November 2021 photo of him making “the traditional Thanksgiving hummus.”

In January 2022, Us Weekly confirmed that the stars had been an item for a “few months” after becoming friends on their movie. Later that month, Long seemingly confirmed his relationship with Bosworth while attending the Sundance Film Festival premiere of her movie Bring on the Dancing Horses.

The following year, Long and Bosworth got engaged and tied the knot in secret.

Bosworth gushed over Long after wrapping their untitled project in the south. “THANK YOU for lifting us up ... you kept it light & full of laughter daily, even through the toughest moments,” she wrote via Instagram of the Accepted actor. “You gnome how much I love ya 💛 (sorry had to ;).”
The California native thanked the city of Fayetteville for being so hospitable, noting “everyone was so darn nice” before joking about the quirky murals in town. “The signs in particular were unique, as you all can see in pic 1 (in which I tried to be a creepy doll & couldn’t stop laughing :).”

Two months after the Remember the Titans actress was spotted without her wedding ring, she announced her split from husband Polish. The estranged couple began dating in 2011 after meeting on the set of Big Sur. They tied the knot two years later in Philipsburg, Montana.
“Our hearts are full, as we have never been so enamored and deeply grateful for one another as we do in this decision to separate,” Bosworth wrote via social media. “Together, over the last ten years, Michael and I have chosen love, every time. We hold hands as tightly today as we entangled fingers on our wedding day.”

"It's weird. I want to [talk about it], but I also want to be protective," Long said of his relationship with Bosworth during an appearance on the “Viall Files” podcast. "I want to scream it from the rooftops, but I also want to be protective. It's sacred."
The Just Add Water actor pointed out that before he met the actress, he “didn’t know” how ready he was to find his person. Now, however, Long revealed he has “found” The One with Bosworth.

Long shared a rare glimpse of Bosworth via his Instagram Story after they visited Kauai to celebrate Australian magazine editor Laura Brown’s wedding to comedian Brandon Borror-Chappell. “@laurabrown99 congratulations on participating in this EPIC first hug (…and also on your wedding, I GUESS!),” the New Girl alum captioned a photo of himself hugging Brown, with the Blue Crush actress looking on adoringly.The Jeepers Creepers star also posted a second Instagram Story of Bosworth gazing at a parrot the same day. “@kaktebosworth admires two tiny tourists (and a regular-sized Miligold Macaw),” the Connecticut native wrote with a heart-eyes emoji.

Long gushed about Bosworth during an appearance on Chelsea Handler’s “Dear Chelsea” podcast.
"There's something about it, for me, that I feel like I need to protect and keep sacred because it feels sacred," he said when the comedian asked whether she could use Bosworth’s name. “I’ve never had anything like this before; I've never experienced this. So it's something I want to protect and keep, you know?"

"You were born today and the world lit up brighter than it had known," Bosworth wrote via Instagram in a sweet tribute to Long. "Years later you met a girl who’s [sic] life was disassembled / rearranged but you were patient and with time she fell in love now she has a glow (one that was forgotten long ago) she is so grateful more than you’ll ever know 💛 Happy Birthday @justinlong you make me smile so big my face hurts xx Thank you for creating peace in my heart since the day we met."
In response, Long wrote, "Loving you is easily the best gift I’ve ever received."

Sparks flew between the duo in the first trailer for 'House of Darkness', the film that initiated their real-life romance. "This guy meets this amazing girl. ... They drive back to her place, this mansion in the woods. And then they kiss like he's never kissed before," Long says in the clip before things take a frightening turn.

Following the release of his film Barbarian, Long took to social media to show his appreciation for the people who helped create the movie — including Bosworth, who costars in the horror flick. 
“I wanted to acknowledge my gratitude for everyone who made the movie such a special experience. #1 my favorite acting coach + scene partner who ran lines with me and helped me feel so prepared for such a fun but demanding role,” the New Girl alum gushed via Instagram alongside a carousel of images of the couple.

During an appearance on Today, Long referred to Bosworth as “Catherine” while opening up about his love.
“It’s a little more personal,” the actor said before joking, “Even though it's longer and a pain in the ass to say.”
Long later gushed: “She makes me glow. This is making me blush because it's so … It's the best. It's so nice to talk about.”

The Accepted actor penned a heartfelt birthday tribute to Bosworth via Instagram.
"She is 40!   She is also the best part of my day, every day — even when we’re not together. She laughs with abandon. She makes me laugh the same — all the time. She sees beauty everywhere and in everyone. She thanks everyone — even when she’s suffering, she’s kind," Long captioned a series of photos of the Before I Wake actress.
He continued: "She has the best softest lips I’ve ever kissed. She loves beer and football more than I do (and I love beer and football). She is the strongest person I’ve ever known. She’s fiercely committed to the truth. She’s so fun to work with. She’s the most fun to do everything with. She is genuinely curious about people and the world. She makes everything in my life better — all my favorite songs and movies, vacations and sunsets and Chinese food."

The twosome looked as in love as ever at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, sparking engagement speculation as Bosworth rocked a giant diamond ring on her left finger. 
That same month, Us broke the news that Bosworth's divorce from Polish was finalized.

The twosome confirmed that he proposed “in a very organic way” after the couple went to therapy together.
“We had just gone through this really hard thing and we had spoken to a therapist and we were trying to move through things at the time and she gave us a really great piece of advice which was: ‘Make sure that you’re pretty consistently asking the other what you need, or asking the other what they need,’” Bosworth explained on Long’s “Life is Short with Justin Long” podcast. “I remember waking up not so many mornings after that therapy session and I looked at Justin and I said … I smiled at you, and I said, ‘What do you need?’ And he, like, really looked at me and he said, ‘To spend my life with you.’ And I smiled and I said, ‘Well, yeah, you have that. Oh my gosh, you have that,’ and he said, ‘No, I mean I really want to spend my life with you.’”

Secretly married? Long referred to Bosworth as his "now-wife" on an episode of his "Life is Short With Justin Long" podcast.
"I was [in Bulgaria] while I was like really falling in love with my now-wife," the actor told guest Kyra Sedgwick, referring to Bosworth's on-set visit to Barbarian.

The Along for the Ride star took to social media to celebrate her beau’s birthday while on a tropical getaway in the Galápagos Islands. 
“I know from your mother that, as a little boy, you used to study images in books from a land far, far away … and you would dream of visiting that place one day: one of tortoises and iguanas and sea lions and penguins,” she wrote via Instagram alongside a series of photos of the pair on their adventure. “Colors of sea life that make up underwater rainbows, and countless star fish lining the ocean floor, a marine constellation. Watching you experience your childhood dream these last few weeks has been the greatest honor Hansee 💛🐢🇪🇨.” 
She continued: “Our world is better and brighter for your endless curiosity, your willingness and drive to seek and explore, your profound empathy for our planet’s creatures, your shining exuberance for life, and your deep, deep ability to love. Every morning I am filled with excitement to open my eyes because I know they will greet my favorite smile and every evening, I fight sleep because I never want to leave you and the joy we experience in the day, even to the dream world :) ✨ To know you is to love you Justin Jakob. You are my Christopher Robin forever. You make life better. You make me better. HAPPY BIRTHDAY @justinlong 🎂🌻🎈!!!”
Bosworth concluded her sweet tribute by promising the New Girl alum that they are “just getting started not his big, beautiful adventure” together.

In a special birthday tribute for Bosworth, Long shared his hopes for the couple to have a family one day.
“You fell in love with your first silent retreat and the last Beatles song. You felt a playful poltergeist shake your bed in Stockbridge, and you made so many people smile with your warmth and curiosity. … You overwhelmed a boy when you first called him ‘husband’ and made him feel luckier than he’s ever felt,” he wrote via Instagram. “One day our kids might ask me, ‘Dad, why did you write sappy things about Mom on that old Instagram app? The one you won’t let us use?’ I’d say ‘Because she completed all of your Dad’s favorite love songs. Even ones he hadn’t thought about since he was a kid.’”

When Long’s birthday rolled around, Bosworth returned the favor with a touching message.
“I loved you long before I knew you. And now that I know you, I wish there was another better word for love because that word seems to pale in how I feel for you today,” she wrote via Instagram alongside a Reel of the pair. “Happy Birthday to my favorite person. You are so good. So incredibly decent. So kind and deep and curious and wild. I will always be waiting, as you drive home to me.”

The couple revealed that they were going to be working together again on a new thriller titled Coyote.
“Like the road runner before us… we took on a wily coyote! (And his rabid friends… and slowly encroaching wild fires… and marital strife). Thank you to @variety for the nice announcement,” Bosworth captioned a pic of her and Long on set. “(Though you’ve got these ‘newlyweds’ wondering how long that term lasts and if we’re now not just two regular ol’ ‘weds’…?🐺👍🏻🔥) Regardless! Be sure to see COYOTE when it comes out because it’s sure to be one heck of a ride (with my favorite on and off-screen wed 🥰).”
 

Patricia Heaton Doesn’t Want 'Everybody Loves Raymond,' 'The Middle' Reboots

Patricia Heaton joked she wants to know “where’s my reboot?” because of Hollywood’s latest TV trend — but confessed an Everybody Loves Raymond or The Middle revival would be a hard pass on her end.

“Why didn’t I ever get on a show that could be rebooted?” Heaton, 66, playfully asked during an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment published Tuesday, February 18. “Because it seems like everybody [else is].”

While Heaton teased that she felt left out, she revealed she has no real desire to reboot Everybody Loves Raymond, which originally aired from 1996 to 2005.

“It was just sort of perfection — and you don’t wanna mess with perfection,” Heaton, who portrayed Ray Romano‘s TV wife, Deborah Barone, on the comedy all nine seasons, explained.

A Guide to TV Reboots and Revivals Through the Years

While much of the younger cast, including Romano, who played Raymond Barone, are still acting, Heaton noted the older stars aren’t still with them.

“You know, we’ve lost so many cast members, you couldn’t reboot it because it won’t be the same show,” she said.

The 90s sitcom was based on the comedy of Romano and followed Ray and Deborah’s life as the parents of three kids. Ray’s dad, Frank (the late Peter Boyle), and mom, Marie (the late Doris Roberts), lived next door and had no issue butting into their daily lives — and neither did Ray’s older brother, Robert (Brad Garrett).

Romano previously told Yahoo! Entertainment that he didn’t like the idea of reviving Everybody Loves Raymond either, saying he was “a little protective” of the series.

“Just because it was very personal to me,” he explained in December 2024. “I mean, it was based on my life, and I was such a part of the creative side of it and all.”

Heaton might not want to film another version of Everybody Loves Raymond, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t think about the show often.

Actors Who Walked Back on Their Decision to Retire: Kathy Bates, More

“It was so much fun because almost everybody [on the cast] was having kids. Ray had kids while we were on the show. And I did, Brad Garrett did, Monica Horan did, [creator] Philip Rosenthal [as well]. So it was a crazy busy place,” the actress exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, February 19, while attending the New York premiere of The Unbreakable Boy.

She recalled the sitcom being “so much fun” to do. “The scripts were so good and Phil created a really wonderful atmosphere,” Heaton gushed. “He’s a big foodie, as you know. So the food was always great. We had a great time.”

Heaton joked, “I did not have to do any research or acting. I was furious at my own husband that entire time, so I channeled my anger and got paid to express it on TV.”

Since her time on Everybody Loves Raymond, Heaton has been on several TV series. The Middle, which ran on ABC from 2009 to 2018, is probably her second-biggest role of her career. Despite its success, Heaton told the outlet on Tuesday that she has “the same” feelings about rebooting it.

Heaton called the show “perfection,” especially because of how they “wrapped it up.”

“We got to flash-forward in the lives of the Heck family and see where they all ended up, it was so beautiful, and I think people have such a good feeling about the show,” she recalled.

Heaton portrayed the matriarch, Frankie Heck, for all nine seasons. The comedy followed the daily mishaps of the hot mess Heck family — which also includes dad Mike (Neil Flynn), sons Axl (Charlie McDermott) and Brick (Atticus Shaffer) and daughter Sue (Eden Sher) — as they lived in the small town of Orson, Indiana.

What ‘The Office’ Cast Has Said About a Revival

While Heaton doesn’t want to mess with a good thing, she noted that The Middle has had a “resurgence on TikTok” where kids are “rediscovering or discovering it for the first time,” calling it “a beautiful thing.”

Heaton concluded, “It’s like a great work of art — you don’t need to go in there and touch it up or change it or do anything to it. Just let it be what it is. And the wonderful thing about TV and about streaming [is] you’ll be able to enjoy it as much as you want.”

Heaton exclusively told Us on Wednesday that while she’s put Everybody Loves Raymond and The Middle in her rearview mirror, she’s not done with sitcoms. “I’m developing — trying to develop some other ensemble comedies for myself,” she revealed.

Hugh Jackman and Ex Deborra-Lee Are ‘Moving Forward’ Despite ‘Hurt Feelings’

Hugh Jackman and ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness are finding their rhythm after separating in 2023 — but it hasn’t been easy.

“Hugh and Deborra-Lee’s separation has been stressful, hard and not fully amicable,” a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly, noting that the exes had disagreements about “certain” things after their split.

The former spouses, who share son Oscar, 24, and daughter Ava, 19, have since figured out how to coexist, the insider adds.

“They’re moving forward as [best they can] despite hurt feelings and pain,” the source says. “[But] it will take a while to recover because they were together for so long.”

Jackman, 56, and Furness, 69, met on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli in 1995 and quickly became an item. They tied the knot in 1996 and expanded their family in 2000 when they adopted their son. The pair adopted their daughter five years later.

Throughout their 27-year marriage, Furness shut down rumors that Jackman was gay on multiple occasions.

“If he was gay, he could be gay!” Furness joked during the “Not an Overnight Success” podcast in April 2022. “He didn’t have to hide in the closet anymore, and he’d be dating Brad Pitt, or whatever. Not that Brad’s gay, but you know what I’m saying!”

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' Relationship Timeline

Jackman, meanwhile, publicly professed his love for Furness just months before they announced their split.

“I love you Deb. Today is our 27th wedding anniversary. 27 YEARS!! I love you so much. Together we have created a beautiful family. And life,” the Wolverine actor wrote via Instagram in April 2023. “Your laughter, your spirit, generosity, humor, cheekiness, courage and loyalty is an incredible gift to me. I love you with all my heart.”

While their marriage appeared to be strong, Jackman and Furness revealed in September 2023 that they were getting divorced.

“We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” they said in a joint statement at the time. “Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”

One year later, Jackman raised eyebrows when he was romantically linked to Sutton Foster.

Gossip blogger Tasha Lustig claimed in October 2024 that Jackman “blindsided” his ex-wife by “running off with the mistress.” Furness “liked” the post from a private account, hinting that the intel was correct.

Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman’s Relationship Timeline

Us reported in November 2024 that Jackman and Foster, 49, were dating after their friendship turned romantic during their 11-month run of Broadway’s The Music Man. (The show began in 2022.)

“Sutton and Hugh’s relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced,” a source told Us at the time, claiming, “A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”

Foster, meanwhile, was married to screenwriter Ted Griffin when the alleged affair began. Foster, who shares 7-year-old daughter Emily with her estranged husband, filed for divorce in October 2024.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster Are 'Happier Than Ever'

Despite the messy foray into their relationship, Jackman and Foster appear to be happy since going public in January. The couple were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles at the start of the year. Foster was also seen supporting Jackman at the opening of his Broadway show From New York, With Love, on January 24.

“They’re not officially living together but spending a lot of time together,” an insider exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us, noting that the pair are “relieved and happy” to be out of hiding.

The source adds that Jackman and Foster are “madly in love” with each other and although they aren’t “rushing into marriage,” they are “committed” to one another.

'Summer House’ Recap: Paige Feels 'Bad' for Craig Now That She's 'Different'

Summer House Recap Paige Desorbo Feels Bad for Craig Conover
Noam Galai/Bravo; Zack DeZon/Bravo

Paige DeSorbo shed more light on her long-distance relationship with Craig Conover in the latest episode of Summer House, admitting that she “changed” prior their split.

“Mark the day, ‘cause I’m gonna say it,” Paige, 32, told the cameras during the Wednesday, February 19, episode of the Bravo hit. “I feel a little bad for Craig because I am a completely different person than the girl he started dating three years ago.”

Paige’s confession came after she FaceTime’d her then-boyfriend, Craig, 36, to try and figure out when they’d see each other that month. The twosome realized that Craig couldn’t come up to New York City for another week, while Paige’s calendar was so booked that she couldn’t pop down to Charleston despite Craig’s request.

“I’m busier. I’m not around as much. I’ve changed my mind [on] a lot of things,” Paige said during the episode, which was filmed in summer 2024.

She revealed that some of her opinions on things like “marriage and moving and a baby” had evolved since they began seeing each other in 2021.

“I’m not going to apologize that my life got busier and that I think differently on certain topics,” Paige continued. “But also, I am trying to recognize that I changed a lot.”

Throughout their relationship, which ended in November 2024 after three years, Paige and Craig openly discussed their potential future.

Breaking Down Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's Split: What They've Said

While Craig claimed he was OK waiting to have kids and settle down, he also confessed on Southern Charm that “the version of life that I saw myself living isn’t what I’m living.”

During the season 10, episode 4, which aired in January, Craig said that the “stable home” he grew up with was his vision for a happy life. “Every night at dinner, my mom and dad were there with my brother. I just loved that,” Craig said.

The Sewing Down South founder noted that he had to adjust his timeline when he fell in love with Paige. “But I think If you find the right person and they happen to be a feisty Italian from New York things aren’t always going to go how you have them planned,” Craig concluded.

Craig and Paige’s ‘Southern Charm’ Season 10 Moments That Didn’t Age Well

Paige, meanwhile, broke down crying over the idea of getting engaged to Craig during season 7 of Summer House, which filmed in summer 2022. Two years later, she confessed during season 10 of Southern Charm that she felt “a little pressure” from Craig to have kids even though she was in her early 30s.

During Wednesday’s episode of Summer House, Paige admitted that after seeing housemate Lindsay Hubbard pregnant she was even more sure she wasn’t ready to have kids. (Lindsay, 38, welcomed her first baby in December 2024.)

“Lindsay’s pregnancy is actually giving me anxiety,” Paige told the cameras. “Let’s just put it in perspective. Craig and I started dating then Lindsay and Carl [Radke] started dating. Then they got engaged. Then they planned a wedding. Then they called off a wedding.”

She continued: “Then [Lindsay] got a new boyfriend. Then she got pregnant and I’m still dating Craig. So, I’m feeling stressed that I have to have a baby, and I don’t want to do it.”

Since breaking up with Craig in November 2024, Paige has faced backlash for allegedly moving on too fast. She denied in February that she allegedly cheated on Craig during their romance — or that she was dating someone new.

Craig Conover Hinted at Marrying Paige DeSorbo 2 Months Before Breakup

Paige then pointed out that her feelings about marriage and motherhood had changed and questioned why that wasn’t OK.

“There’s this thing where women aren’t allowed to change their mind,” she told Elle in an interview published on February 12. “And I feel that with the kid thing a lot — people being like, ‘You said you wanted to get married and you wanted to have a baby [young].’ And I’m like, ‘OK, well, I also used to go in a tanning bed.”

Paige explained that men don’t face the same scrutiny when they hit the age of 30, but they “expect different things” from women of a certain age.

“I have a ton of guy friends who are turning 40, single, no kids, and it’s like, ‘You’re such a hot bachelor.’ I mention I want to get a second cat, and it’s like, ‘She’s crazy.’”

Summer House airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Olivia Munn Claims She Was Offered ‘7 Figures’ to Keep Quiet After Set Drama

Olivia Munn recalled a “traumatic” experience on a past movie set that resulted in her turning down an NDA — and over $1 million — to allegedly silence her voice.

“There were other things that happened on this movie set personally to me that was really not OK, and it was so traumatic that I had to file complaints with the studio,” Munn, 44, recalled during the Tuesday, February 18, episode of the “Reclaiming” podcast.

The actress didn’t reveal what movie set was toxic, but she told host Monica Lewinsky that it was so bad that she was “offered a lot of money” to stay quiet.

“[It was] a lot of money — seven figures to accept, I guess, their apology and them taking acknowledgement of it,” Munn claimed, noting that the offer came with an NDA.

She explained that she wouldn’t have “talked about it” because she “just wanted to move past it all” but that wasn’t the point.

“I said, ‘I’m not signing an NDA,’ and they said, ‘You have to,’ and I just felt that it was so wrong,” Munn said, adding that the incident took place at the beginning of the #MeToo movement when Harvey Weinstein was coming under fire. (Weinstein was found guilty of rape and sexual assault charges in February 2020 and sentenced to 23 years in prison. He was later sentenced to an additional 16 years for more rape and sexual assault convictions.)

The Newsroom alum remembered it as “the reckoning” in Hollywood when “people were targeting anyone who signed an NDA, saying, ‘Oh, you only did it for the money.’”

That perception made Munn “afraid that my voice and speaking up would reverse any kind of validity to my voice.”

She was equally “concerned” that the movie studio would “leak out that I had signed an NDA for money” in “an effort to diminish my voice.”

Despite her hesitation, Munn met with the studio’s legal team. She ultimately turned down the offer — and made sure she was able to tell off the lawyers herself.

“I turned to my lawyer and I said, ‘I’m not taking it,’” Munn recalled. “I told my lawyer, ‘I’m just not gonna do it. I want to say no now.’ And he was like, ‘Let’s think about it.’ And I said, ‘I want to say no now!’”

She pointed to that quick decision as part of the “feistiness of not thinking things through” she has carried with her throughout her life.

“[I was] so upset and frustrated that this would be offered to me that I did not think about negotiating, I did not think about anything besides how disrespectful that was,” Munn confessed.

When the studio’s team reminded her how much money she would get in a “disrespectful” tone and called her “crazy” for not taking the deal she was even more sure of her decision.

“I said to [the attorney], ‘I know this is a lot of money to you, but it is not a lot of money to me to lose my voice,’” she shared. “And we walked out of there, and I remember feeling so proud when I walked out — so proud of myself.”

Munn noted that NDAs became illegal shortly after this incident. She explained that if they were still allowed, she would make the same choice she did then.

“Look, was it the right thing to do and do the people in my life think that I did the right thing and are proud of me for that? Yes,” she reflected.

Munn concluded, “It’s not that I wouldn’t have ended up with the same decision, it’s that I made that decision based on anger, and that is something I had to learn how to rein in and use for my benefit.”

'Hollywood Squares' Preview: Drew Barrymore Details Last ‘Stick and Poke’

Drew Barrymore gets real about her tatted past — and shares a wild celeb story — during the upcoming episode of Hollywood Squares.

Barrymore, who is the center square on the rebooted game show, isn’t afraid to tattoo and tell in Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek at the Wednesday, February 19, episode of the CBS series.

“The term ‘stick and poke’ refers to a typically cheap and easy method of getting what?” host Nate Burleson asks Barrymore, 49, in the clip, which makes panelist Ross Mathews raise his eyebrows.

Barrymore doesn’t skip a beat, answering, “It is a tattoo of which I have many. I’ve even had a stick and poke kind.”

Panelist Oliver Hudson then cheekily asks, “When was the last time you had a stick and poke?” hinting at the sexual connotation of the phrase in question.

“Weirdly in like a hotel bathroom with Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day and my ex-boyfriend Justin Long,” Barrymore responds rather matter-of-fact.

The Never Been Kissed actress insists the “stick and poke” session was “so innocent.” Barrymore adds, “It doesn’t sound like it, but it was.”

Mathews shakes his head from his own square, adding, “No, it doesn’t.” Fellow panelist Yvette Nicole Brown, meanwhile, lets out a big laugh from her cubicle.

The rest of the celebrity guests for the “You Like Granny Panties” episodes include Whitney Cummings, Akbar Gbajabiamila, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Sam Jay.

Barrymore dated Long, 46, from 2007 to 2008 before rekindling their romance while filming 2009’s He’s Just Not That Into You. The exes split for good that same year.

The pair have remained friends over the years regardless of their relationship status.

“I don’t think love — unless there’s some, like, great offense; some criminal offense — I don’t think love disappears,” Long explained during a May 2024 episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s “Dinner’s on Me” podcast, before speaking about Barrymore. “I mean that about her. When I think about her, I have such deep affection and, you know, always root for her. I love her.”

Long said, “At the end of the day, we are dear friends.” He noted that he continues to be fond of his ex-girlfriend because of her personality.

“When you’re with Drew, she is so hyper-present and loving,” he continued. “But it’s not a schtick — it’s not an act. So being on her show was that experience and the reminder of that, and how just wonderful that glow feels.”

Long, who married Kate Bosworth in 2023, proved that he still has a connection with Barrymore when he appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2022. He was also a panelist on two episodes of Hollywood Squares earlier this year.

Barrymore, meanwhile, is the center square on the game show so she is part of each episode. (Romantically, the actress is single. She shares daughters Olive and Frankie with ex-husband Will Kopelman.)

Hollywood Squares airs on CBS Wednesdays with back-to-back episodes at 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET. Fans can also stream new episodes on Paramount+ the next day.

The game show will air at a special time on Wednesday, February 26, 10 p.m. ET and 11 p.m. PT. following the season premiere of Survivor.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster Are 'Committed' to Taking Next Steps Together

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are “madly in love” with each other after going public with their romance earlier this year.

“They’re not officially living together but spending a lot of time together,” a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly, noting that the pair are “relieved and happy” to be out of hiding.

Jackman, 56, and Foster, 49, were first romantically linked in late October 2024. Us previously reported that the actors’ longtime friendship turned romantic while they were costarring in the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man — when they were both still married. (Jackman and ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness announced their divorce in September 2023. Foster, meanwhile, filed for divorce from Ted Griffin in October 2024.)

The Wolverine actor and Foster went public in January when they were spotted kissing outside a fast-food restaurant in California. The twosome then traveled back to New York City where Foster was seen supporting Jackman at the opening of his Broadway show From New York, With Love, on January 24.

“It felt like the right time as their relationship has gotten stronger,” the insider tells Us of the couple’s choice to step out publicly.

The source notes, “They’ve known each other for so long that it’s easy to fall into the next stage of their relationship.”

The next steps don’t include living together just yet, the source adds, but Jackson and the Younger alum are thinking about their relationship in the long-term.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster Are 'Happier Than Ever'

“They’re not rushing into marriage but are committed to taking the next steps together,” a separate source tells Us.

Jackman was married to Furness, 69, for 27 years before their split in September 2023. Prior to their breakup, Jackman grew close with Foster while working together on The Music Man.

Us previously reported that Foster and Jackman’s romance — which unfolded during their 11-month Broadway run — is the “reason” he and Furness “got divorced.”

“A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people,” a source told Us in November 2024, claiming, “Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”

Everything Hugh Jackman, Sutton Foster Said About Each Other Before Romance

Rumors of Jackman and Foster’s relationship swirled after gossip blogger Tasha Lustig alleged via Instagram in fall 2024 that the Greatest Showman actor “blindsided” Furness by “running off with the mistress.”

A source later told Us that Jackman’s alleged affair with Foster was “Broadway’s worst-kept secret and Deborra-Lee was the last to know.”

Despite the messy end to his marriage, Jackman doesn’t appear to be letting the scandal ruin his budding romance with Foster. (Foster, for her part, has yet to finalize her divorce from screenwriter Griffin, 53, with whom she shares 7-year-old daughter Emily.)

“They’re happier than ever,” an insider told Us in November 2024 of Foster and Jackman.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster Hold Hands After Going Public With Romance

Two months later, Jackman and Foster let their relationship speak for itself by upping their public appearances.

Jackman was spotted at Foster’s Los Angeles performance of Once Upon a Mattress on January 4. Two days later, the couple was photographed holding hands while on a date in Santa Monica. The pair packed on the PDA later that month while driving through In N Out in San Fernando, California.

Do The Rookie’s Bailey and Nolan Still Want Kids After Hitman Drama?

Jenna Dewan Reveals If The Rookie Bailey and Nolan Still Want Kids After Hitman Drama and Jason Death

Bailey Nune and John Nolan have weathered many storms on The Rookie — but has their latest snag derailed their future parenting plans?

Warning: Spoilers below for The Rookie season 7, episode 7.

“Right now, we’re focusing on that — the healing and their love,” Jenna Dewan, who plays firefighter Bailey on the ABC series, exclusively told Us Weekly of Bailey and Nolan’s future.

She noted that the TV couple are also dealing with the “complexities of their very intense life-threatening jobs that always bring something to the playing field that they have to contend with.”

During the Tuesday, February 18, episode of The Rookie, Bailey finally admitted to herself that she was a victim of domestic violence. The revelation came after she spoke with another female survivor, who gave Bailey permission to call herself a “victim” after years of being terrorized by her ex-husband, Jason (Steve Kazee).

While Jason was killed earlier this season, he continued to haunt Bailey and her marriage with Nolan (Nathan Fillion). Bailey and Nolan argued over the fact that Bailey was in contact with the hitman who ultimately killed Jason, as Nolan is a member of law enforcement and said she was breaking laws.

“Psychologically that’s not the easiest thing to just, you know, snap your fingers and be over. Even though the physical threat of Jason is gone, psychologically and emotionally he lives on,” Dewan, 44, explained to Us. “It takes work on Bailey’s part to heal from that. Nolan has a huge part in that because he accepts her, and he shows her that he will love her no matter what.”

She revealed, “Unconditional love, you know, at the end of the day is one of the greatest healing forces.”

Dewan noted that when Bailey was able to accept the label of “victim” she was also able to fully let Nolan in, which was part of their struggle as a couple.

“That moment of vulnerability for her is huge. [It] is the key that unlocks the future healing that comes for her,” the actress said, adding that although the trauma is “not gone” and will “take a bit of time” to work through, Jason’s death does push Bailey forward.

Dewan pointed out, “There is a freedom without the physical presence of her nightmare.”

Nolan’s ability to put aside his bruised ego — he was upset she kept the hitman conversation a secret — and think about his wife as a victim also helped the couple heal together.

“He ultimately goes, ‘OK, the person I love was a victim. And the person I love was given a reason to have her nightmare not be a part of our life anymore. Now, how that went down is complicated, but I can at least understand her and see and have empathy for her because I love her,’” Dewan shared.

At the end of the episode, Nolan apologized for making Bailey feel unsupported in her quest to get Jason out of her life once and for all. Their conversation marks the end of that dark chapter, according to Dewan.

“I think they are deciding, in that moment, to move forward together,” she told Us, adding that while the couple’s trust issues still linger “a tiny bit” their ability to admit to and acknowledge “each other’s vulnerabilities” help them “move forward and just sort of accept” what happened.

That positive trajectory, however, won’t include expanding their family — at least not right away.

“I wouldn’t say it’s off the table just at the moment,” Dewan said of Bailey and Nolan’s choice to press pause on their efforts to have or adopt a baby. “I think they realize, ‘Hold on, we have some really intense lives, and I don’t think either of us are really in the position to be taking care of a baby. So we don’t want to bring something into our life that therefore we’re not able to be the most responsible for.’”

She added: “They have that recognition of like, ‘timing is everything,’ and maybe right now is not the right time.”

Dewan teased, “But they ultimately still desire that next step.”

The Rookie airs on ABC Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
