When Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei tie the knot, they plan to make sure her late mother will be honored.

“I think that maybe I would take, like, a piece of some type of clothing of hers that meant a lot and somehow incorporate it into something in our wedding,” Anderson, 26, said on the Friday, February 21, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “I definitely want a piece of my mom in our wedding and I think that I’m a very sentimental person, so there’s a lot of ideas that I have [to incorporate] the people that went with us presently.”

Anderson got engaged to Graziadei, 29, during the Bachelor season 28 finale and are now in the midst of planning their big day. According to Anderson, her fiancé also wants to honor his late grandmother.

“She was very, very special to him,” Anderson said. “I’m trying to think of ways that we can still honor them because they were big people in our lives.”

Other than including special tributes, Anderson doesn’t have a ton of must-haves in mind when it comes to the ceremony.

“The only [thing] that Joey and I both have said is that we want it to just be a big party,” Anderson teased. “Like, after we say our vows we just want to have a big celebration. We want everyone on the dance floor [and] so I’m gonna find the perfect band, perfect DJ, whatever we choose.”

She added, “I’m pretty open, but I don’t think I want everything to be super traditional. I want it to just form to [what] we feel is right for us.”

Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson Thinks 'Orb' in Engagement Photos Was Late Mom

Kelsey is one of the daughters of Mark and Denise Anderson. Denise died in 2018 following a battle with breast cancer.

“My mom was somebody who was very positive and always found light in any situation, even whenever she was going through all these rounds of chemo and radiation and she was very sick,” Kelsey exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2024. “[My mom] initially got diagnosed because she found a lump in her armpit when she was doing a self-exam. She went in and she got it checked. They said it was fine. It wasn’t anything. She had this gut feeling and was like, ‘I just want it removed if it’s not supposed to be there.’ She ended up having stage three and stage four breast cancer.”

Kelsey has since become an advocate for early detection, telling Us that she’s previously undergone two lumpectomies that were “luckily” both benign.

Mark later went on The Golden Bachelorette in 2024 before meeting his current girlfriend, One Tree Hill alum Barbara Alyn Woods.

Lenny Kravitz Thought Daughter Zoe's Walk of Fame Speech Was 'Fabulous'

Everything Lenny Kravitz Has Said About Fatherhood and Raising Daughter Zoe

Lenny Kravitz is “Sittin’ on Top of the World” as a devoted father to daughter Zoë Kravitz.

Lenny and ex-wife Lisa Bonet welcomed their only child together in December 1988. The couple, who married one year earlier, ultimately split in 1993 but remained committed to coparenting Zoë. (Bonet also shares two younger children, daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf, with ex-husband Jason Momoa, whom she split from in 2022.)

“What you see is what it is. We are one family,” Lenny said during an October 2020 interview on the“Carlos Watson Show” podcast. “Yes, we split back then [but we] worked it out because that is what you do. There was no choice in that matter [and] it’s a blessing. Been wonderful for Zoë to be able to see her parents like that. I forget that people don’t operate that way in so many cases.”

As Zoë grew up, she followed both her parents into Hollywood and made her own name as an actress. According to Lenny, she even tried to change her name professionally.

“I understood it,” he told Esquire in a November 2023 profile. “But I was like, ‘That’s your name.’”

October 2010

“It makes it kind of impossible,” Lenny joked about dating as a single parent during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “[Zoë is] extremely critical. I thought I was the dad and I had to screen the boyfriends, but it’s kind of the other way around.”

June 2019

Lenny gushed to People that he’s learned about “love, respect, and hard work, honor, and discipline” since becoming a dad before theorizing what it will be like to watch Zoë get married.

“When that happens it’ll be a trip and emotional for all the reasons anybody would understand, but also because that’s the one thing my mother [Roxie Roker] talked about before she died that she wanted to live long enough to see her granddaughter get married,” he said of his mother, who died of breast cancer in 1995. “When my mother passed, [Zoë] was young. She remembers her and has really fond memories, but it didn’t get to the point where they’d get into deep conversation.”

Zoë got engaged to Karl Glusman in 2018, and they wed the following year. They split in 2021 after 18 months of marriage.

October 2020

Lenny revealed to Access Hollywood that parenting “came naturally to [him].”

“I knew what I didn’t want to be,” he said before referencing his estranged relationship with father Sy Kravitz. “Because our relationship was what it was, that’s fine. What I got to see was what a great grandfather he was. So, I got to see that and experience that and my daughter got to experience that.”

Lenny also discussed watching Zoë grow up in the shadow of famous parents. “What’s great about her is that she’s always been her own person,” he added. “She didn’t want people judging her and seeing her in a certain way because of who her parents were, and that’s wonderful because a lot of kids like to use that for the attention.”

November 2020

“People can’t believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zoë’s mom, how we all relate. We just do it because that’s what you do,” he told Men’s Health of his blended family. “You let love rule, right? I mean, obviously, after a breakup, it’s work — it takes some work and time, healing and reflection.”

Lenny hinted to Extra about the possibility of making music with Zoë.

“You know, that’s something I always thought about,” he explained. “The right thing at the right time [but] I’d love to work with my daughter one day on something just because I think she’s great. If she wasn’t my daughter, I would still feel the same way about her.”

Zoë also has musical talents, even helping pal Taylor Swift write songs for 2022’s Midnights.

“I wouldn’t think of it as this heroic feat. This is just normal to me,” he told Esquire about coparenting, going on to reveal if he wants to have more kids. “I could not, and I could. If it doesn’t happen, I’ve done the best with Zoë that I could ever dream to do. If I was with somebody that wanted to have kids, absolutely. A hundred percent.”

January 2024

Us confirmed in 2023 that Zoë had gotten engaged to actor Channing Tatum after two years of dating. (News broke in October 2024 that the pair ended their engagement.)

“Hey man, that’s life. When your family is happy, when your child is happy, that’s it,” Lenny gushed to Entertainment Tonight. “I’ve done well. Blessed.”

February 2025

During an interview with The Times of London, Lenny stressed, “I love being her father” before approving her remarks during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. (When Lenny received his star in March 2024, Zoë roasted his penchant for sheer, nipple-baring tops.)

“Oh, wasn’t that fabulous?” Lenny recalled to the outlet. “You see, that’s what your daughter’s supposed to do. That is absolutely exactly what your daughter is supposed to do, and she told the truth. She’s dry, but she told the truth.”

Elsewhere in the profile, Lenny addressed the possibility of becoming a grandfather. (Zoë, however, has previously been candid about her indecision in having children.)

“Of course. If it happens. Yeah, if it happens. It feels weird, just hearing the word,” he said. “Probably, because I still feel like a kid. I honestly still feel like a kid.”

'BiP' Alum Ashley Iaconetti Breaks Down Her Top Plastic Surgery Procedures

Ashley Iaconetti has loved getting certain cosmetic procedures over the years.

“Well, forever and always [my] #1 [is] forehead tox,” Iaconetti, 36, revealed during  Friday, February 21, Instagram Story Q&A. “Botox is like saying the brand name Kleenex for tissue.”

Iaconetti also has a soft spot for lip filler, which she gets annually.

“My bottom lip is naturally full,” she explained. “Now, the top is perfectly balanced for my face IMO.”

The Bachelor Nation alum also recently underwent NeoGen PSR (Plasma Skin Regeneration), which is classified as a non-invasive skin treatment that targets acne scarring and promotes collagen production.

“I just did NeoGenPSR last month at @aiyanaatelier. It’s supposed to take six months to see full results, but basically, it’s the ultimate collagen booster,” she explained. “I feel like, despite Hayden getting me up three times per night, I’m still looking fresh and youthful lately.”

Iaconetti shares sons Dawson, 3, and Hayden, 7 months, with her husband, Jared Haibon. (The couple met during Bachelor in Paradise season 2 and got married in 2019.)

“It was actually easier than the first. I had two great deliveries and this one could not have been done better,” Iaconetti exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024 of Hayden’s birth one month earlier. “Like, I basically didn’t feel pain. I felt pressure and really [no] pain.”

She added, “With Dawson, I probably felt pain for like an hour — going from triage to the delivery room and waiting for the epidural for a little bit. [This time], I was induced and it was just kind of like a doctor’s appointment. It was awesome.”

Iaconetti and Haibon, 36, previously welcomed eldest son Dawson in 2022 — and they are not thinking of expanding their family further.

In January 2024, Iaconetti exclusively told Us that the couple are “very done with two.”

Inside Patrick, Brittany Mahomes' Bluey-Themed 4th Birthday for Sterling

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ daughter Sterling turned 4 with a blow-out bash worthy of Bluey herself.

“I can’t believe she’s 4 already,” Brittany, 29, gushed via Instagram Stories on Saturday, February 22, sharing snaps from the Bluey-themed party she hosted based on the popular animated children’s series.

To celebrate Sterling’s big day, the party venue was decked out in themed merch and colorful balloons.

Sterling is the firstborn daughter of Brittany and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick, 29. (They also share younger children Bronze, 2, and Golden, 1 month.)

“This sweetest, most kind little girl ever! I thank God every day for choosing me to be your mom, you have taught me so much about life and what matters most and I truly am so thankful you made me a mama,” Brittany wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 20. “You are the best big sister to Golden & Bronze and they are so lucky to have you guiding them your Mom and Dad love you beyond and more.”

Jason Kelce Says He and Kylie Have ‘Talked About' Him Getting a Vasectomy

Jason Kelce Says Hes Talked About the V Word With Wife Kylie After They Welcome 4th Baby

Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, have discussed whether their fourth baby will be their last.

“That’s not my decision. I got the easy part and I’ll keep doing my part,” Jason, 37, quipped during the Friday, February 21, episode of “The Steam Room” podcast. “I think Kylie’s about coming to the end of wanting to pop these things out. I think this pregnancy has been a long [one] for her. This is our fourth girl [and] this one might be it. We’ll see.”

Jason and Kylie, 32, have been married since 2018 and are parents to daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 23 months. They announced in November 2024 that they are expecting again.

According to the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, there “hasn’t been any firm decisions” made on whether their fourth baby will forever be the youngest Kelce child.

Why Jason and Kylie Kelce Are Only Considering 'Gender-Neutral' Baby Names

“We’ve talked about the V-word,” Jason teased on Friday, referring to a vasectomy procedure. “We’ve brought it up. I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but we’ll see.”

Jason had been specifically asked whether he and Kylie were eager to keep trying until they had a son.

“I don’t think it’s necessarily if we want to have a boy because, at the end of the day, we’re not shooting with good percentages,” Jason joked. “We got to give up on that idea. It’s like, ‘Do you want to have another child?’ Then, we’ll do that. But, I think as of right now, that’s not definitely happening.”

Kylie also wasn’t shocked that their soon-to-be fourth baby will be a girl.

Jason Kelce Says He and Kylie Are 'Pretty Set' to Welcome Baby No. 4

“We were not surprised at all. There was a lot of talk, and I think there still are rumors that we’re having a boy, or that we were trying for a boy,” the field hockey coach told Parents magazine earlier this month. “It’s very silly. We were not trying for anything but a healthy baby. We’re so excited to meet her.”

Rather than be fixated on the baby’s sex, Jason and Kylie find it more important to raise down-to-earth children.

“We stay surrounded by family and friends, so we keep the people around us very close to us,” Kylie exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2024 of how the couple keep their girls humble. “Then, we make sure that anything that we’re doing that they feel supported by their family and friends and then also not really putting them in any places of privilege.”

She added, “[We’re] trying our best to make sure that when they grow up and they turn 16, they will be driving a [used vehicle]. We can’t let them have a hand-me-down car at this point. You’re not getting dad’s [Tesla] CyberTruck as your hand-me-down. You will be driving a basic model, hopefully, having to roll the windows down with a crank.”

Jill Zarin’s Daughter Ally Clarifies Status With ‘Love Is Blind’ Alum Leo

Jill Zarin’s daughter, Ally Shapiro, is setting the record straight regarding her relationship with Love Is Blind alum Leo Braudy.

“So, our relationship starts where most Jewish couples do — when my mom DM’ed him on Instagram. I swear to God it was not for me,” Shapiro, 32, said in a Friday, February 21, TikTok video. “She loved him on the show [and] I’m a huge Love Is Blind fan. Literally told my mom to watch the show for Leo because [I] loved it so much.”

Braudy, 31, appeared on season 7 of the Netflix reality TV dating show, where he walked away single after a failed engagement with Brittany Wisniewski. Within weeks of the show airing in 2024, Braudy was spotted alongside Zarin, 61, and Shapiro at Art Basel Miami. (Braudy works as an art dealer.)

In her Friday video, Shapiro clarified that she was not interested in Braudy “romantically” and asserted that they are just friends.

“I just thought he was a great character and I could relate to him on a lot of levels,” Shapiro said. “[My mom] slid into his DMs and we planned to meet during Basel [in] early December. Right before Basel, Leo called me and I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ Apparently, he’s a big talker. Now that I know him well, [I know] he loves phone calls and voice notes.”

According to the influencer, she “really connected” to Braudy after they started chatting.

“Obviously, at the time, I wasn’t looking for anything serious. I had just gotten out of an engagement and so did he,” Shapiro said. “We were both at Basel and he didn’t really know that many people because he’s newer to the reality scene.”

Throughout their adventure at Basel, Shapiro and Braudy connected over their respective reality TV stints — Zarin famously was an OG star on The Real Housewives of New York City — and the experience of navigating broken engagements.

“[We also connected] on a much deeper level,” Shapiro said. “He had a lot of death and cancer in his family; I lost [my stepdad] Bobby. … We’re both also only children and I feel like when you have a parent with cancer, you have a unique situation. We got very deep, very quickly.”

Per Shapiro, Braudy quickly “became the brother [she] never had” during the Basel weekend.

“I feel like I became his sister,” she stated. “I’ve had to rebuild my whole friend group, and he’s been a really big part of that. I think I’ve been a really good friend for him, as well, navigating this new world that he’s in.”

Shapiro further said that she speaks to Braudy — who later visited with the mother-daughter duo at their family compound in Boca Raton, Florida — on a daily basis.

“So grateful for you in my life,” he wrote via TikTok comment on Friday. “Friends that can relate on so many levels are rare and such a blessing.”

Anjelica Huston Says Ex Jack Nicholson Called Her Amid L.A. Fire Evacuation

Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson were together for 17 years — and they still have one another’s backs.

“I was in a car with three dogs, two cats, and the housekeeper [evacuating the wildfires], and he called and asked if I was all right and if I had someplace I was staying,” Huston, 73, told The Guardian in a profile published on Friday, February 21.

A string of wildfires broke out in Los Angeles last month, devastating thousands of acres and killing more than 20 individuals. Huston was among thousands of locals who were forced to flee their homes.

“It’s been kind of a scary month. My house almost burned down. It came very, very close,” Huston continued. “My electricity and water and power are still off, but we were safe.”

Huston evacuated with her pets — in addition to her dogs and cats, she owns seven donkeys and six horses — to safety. She said that in the midst of all the chaos, she was grateful that Nicholson, 87, reached out.

“That’s the bottom line with he and I,” she explained to the outlet. “When the chips are down, he’s there.”

The Towards Zero actress and Nicholson dated on and off for 17 years before they called it quits for good in 1990. The pair broke up when Nicholson fathered a child with another woman. (Nicholson has six children.)

While speaking to The Guardian, Huston revealed that she didn’t regret staying faithful to Nicholson for nearly two decades.

“I loved him. I think in the world that I was living in, it wasn’t disrespectful. It was how he was, and it wasn’t so personal. I think as soon as I clocked that, it was all right, I knew how to protect myself,” she said. “It didn’t make me happy, but I knew what I was doing.”

Huston continued, “I did what I wanted to do, and I did it with sureness. If I wanted something, I knew how to go after it, so it wasn’t as though anything was being done to me. I wasn’t a wilting flower.”

Jack Nicholson Through the Years: ‘The Shining' and Beyond

Huston went on to marry sculptor Robert Graham in 1992 and remained together until his 2008 death after a heart attack.

“I lost my husband a year before I made this movie,” she previously told Reuters in 2011 of signing onto 50/50, a movie about a cancer patient that also starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogan and Anna Kendrick. “It came from a deeply personal place. I took everything — all of my experience from the five months I spent with him in [intensive care] to day-to-day occurrences in the hospital — which was kind of ludicrous at the same time as being heartbreaking.”

She concluded at the time, “I don’t think it hurt that I’d had the experience. Although, God, I prefer not to have had the experience, no question about that. I didn’t accept the role because it was cathartic, I accepted it because it really touched me.”

'Southern Charm' Star Molly O'Connell Recalls 14-Year-Old Brother's Death

Southern Charm Star Molly OConnell Says Brother Died of Sepsis in My Dads Arms at Age 14
Michelle Watt/Bravo

Southern Charm newcomer Molly O’Connell will always remember her late brother, who died at the age of 14.

“His name was Patrick and he was severely intellectually disabled,” O’Connell, 37, said on the Friday, February 21, episode of the “Reality Life with Kate Casey” podcast. “He was quadriplegic [and] he could really only move his head a little bit, couldn’t speak. Once I was born, he was living in a facility that could take care of him because he needed a lot of care around the clock.”

O’Connell, who was adopted when she was an infant, further explained that Patrick “died of sepsis in my dad’s arms.” She was 6 years old at the time of his passing.

“He was sick all his life, in and out of [the] ICU,” O’Connell explained, noting that Patrick’s death inspired her to pursue a career in fashion, including an appearance on cycle 16 of America’s Next Top Model.

Molly O'Connell Compares ‘ANTM’ to 'Southern Charm': ‘Psychological Torture’

“[It gave me] the desire to [make the most of life],” she explained. “A lot of times I get paralyzed by my own fear, like, around music. I probably would have wanted to be a professional musician, singing [and on] Broadway, and I got very scared about that. I have a lot of guilt around not pursuing every single thing that I want to.”

According to O’Connell, her guilt is “subconsciously” based on “not taking advantage of all the things that I am able to do.”

“I really have done a lot and my parents have supported that,” she said. “They never cared if I was smart or good at anything, They just wanted me to be happy and funny. They wanted me to have a good sense of humor, which I think me and Ian — my other brother — do.”

Navigating Patrick’s death further “caused [O’Connell] to do the most” she can in life. O’Connell has also undergone therapy to help deal with his passing.

Southern Charm's Olivia Flowers Says Healing From Brother’s Death Is Gradual 

“I had a lot of death in my family when I was young,” she explained. “My brother died when I was 6 and, within about six months, two of my uncles and a cousin died of cancer. But, I was so young [and] I think they thought, ‘Oh, it doesn’t affect her much.’ I think it did.”

Dealing with the trauma of multiple familial deaths, amongst other challenges, led O’Connell to act out.

“I was told at a very young age that I was adopted before I could really quite comprehend that as a 3- [or] 4-year-old,” she told podcaster Kate Casey. “I was a relatively good child, they say, and then in middle school, I just started acting out a little.”

Regardless of O’Connell’s behavioral issues, her parents have “always stuck by” her and even paid for her therapy sessions.

“They’ve tried to figure out ‘what can we do to help her’ and they’ve continued to do that now [through my] late 30s,” O’Connell said. “They’re always helping me try and find new therapies and stuff.”

Rihanna Addresses Long Wait for 'R9' and Plays Coy About Genre

Rihanna Addresses Long Wait for 'R9' and Plays Coy About Genre: 'I Cannot Put Up Anything Mediocre'

Rihanna has “finally cracked” her highly anticipated next album — and will release it at precisely the right time.

“There’s no genre now. That’s why I waited. Every time, I was just like, ‘No, it’s not me. It’s not right. It’s not matching my growth. It’s not matching my evolution. I can’t do this. I can’t stand by this. I can’t perform this for a year on tour,” Rihanna, 37, told Harper’s Bazaar in a profile published Saturday, February 22. “After a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to count. It has to matter.”

She added, “I have to show them the worth in the wait. I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more.”

Rihanna’s fans have been clamoring for an update on R9 — their nickname for the singer’s next album — for years. According to the pop star, she needed all the pieces of the LP to fall into place before proceeding.

Rihanna's Boyfriend ASAP Rocky Confirms She's 'Working On' New Album

“This feels right. It feels like it digs right into where I need to be, and I want this,” Rihanna stressed. “This body needs to come out, and I’m ready to go there. This is becoming my new freedom because when I’m in the studio, I know that my time away from my kids is to blossom something that hasn’t been watered in eight years.”

Rihanna, who shares sons RZA and Riot with partner ASAP Rocky, further confirmed that she’s “been in the studio the whole eight years” trying to brainstorm the album’s direction.

“It didn’t hit me. I was searching for it. I went through phases of what I wanted to do. ‘This kind of album, not that album.’ I know it’s not going to be anything that anybody expects,” she recalled. “And it’s not going to be commercial or radio digestible. It’s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I’ve finally cracked it, girl!”

Rihanna Clarifies Her Status After Wearing ‘I’m Retired’ Shirt

While Rihanna promises that R9 will eventually be released, her top priority is her family.

“Every decision I make revolves around them, but everything that I do that I love robs me from them,” the Fenty founder told Harper’s Bazaar of her young sons. “I have a weird resentment with the things that I love. You almost feel like something is always suffering for you to show up somewhere. And even when you show up there, it’s not 100 percent because there’s something else on the wheel. It’s actually given me a lot more self-guilt.”

She concluded, “I don’t like letting people down, but I also know that most of that is me letting myself down, which means something has to change, but everything is on the wheel at all times. I have to keep reminding myself that I asked for this, I love this. I try to figure out a balance so that I can feel fulfilled when I show up to something, so I can feel I don’t have any guilt.”

Britney Spears Reportedly Paid Over $2 Million for Dad Jamie's Legal Bills

New details from Britney Spears and her father Jamie Spears’ conservatorship settlement have been revealed.

In court documents recently obtained by People, Britney, 43, reportedly agreed to cover Jamie’s outstanding legal bills totaling $2.12 million. The outlet also claimed that the pop star paid her dad’s fees in full within 60 days, as stipulated in the agreement.

According to the settlement filing, Britney and Jamie, 72, agreed that the payments resolved any lingering disputes regarding the status of the since-terminated conservatorship.

Britney has not publicly addressed the settlement, while Jamie’s attorneys noted in a statement that the patriarch “is thrilled that the case was settled.”

Britney Spears’ Ups and Downs With Jamie Spears

“He has only ever wanted what is best for Britney, whom he loves very much,” his attorney claimed in a statement to People. “Jamie’s work as conservator has ultimately been vindicated and the world knows how hard he worked to protect her.”

Britney was placed under a guardianship run by Jamie in 2008 after a series of personal struggles. For many years, Jamie had control over the singer’s estate and person until Jodi Montgomery took over the role in 2019. The 13-year conservatorship was eventually terminated in November 2021. Britney and Jamie officially settled their dispute in April 2024.

“It has been our honor and privilege to represent, protect, and defend Britney Spears, Ms. Spears is and always will be an icon and a brilliant and brave artist of historic and epic proportion,” Britney’s attorney Mathew Rosengart said in a statement to Us Weekly at the time. “Although the conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, her wish for freedom is now truly complete.”

Britney Spears’ Mental Health, Conservatorship Battle Explained

The statement continued, “Britney Spears won when the court suspended her father, and Britney Spears won when her fundamental rights and civil liberties were restored.”

Britney has since been estranged from Jamie, but recently reconciled with her mom, Lynne Spears. (Exes Jamie and Lynne, 69, share children Bryan, Britney and Jamie Lynn.)

“Britney understands that her mom would have loved for her to visit for Christmas but she just felt like it was too soon,” a source exclusively told Us in December 2023. “Britney is open to repairing her relationship with Lynne but she wants things to unfold organically and not force anything.”

According to the insider, the Crossroads star is “in a really good place” and “would love to continue maintaining her relationship with her mom.”

Britney had claimed in her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, that she realized she “never wanted to see” her parents again after learning they disposed of her Madam Alexander doll collection without warning. Lynne has since denied donating the toys, even asking Britney via Instagram if she wants the collection returned. Britney denied the request.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Pee-Wee’s Playhouse alum Lynne Marie Stewart has died. She was 78.

“My heart is breaking upon hearing the news of my dear friend @lynnestewart78’s passing,” Cassandra Peterson, who previously costarred with Stewart in her 1988 film Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, wrote via Instagram on Friday, February 21. “One of the kindest, sweetest, funniest women who ever lived. The iconic Miss Yvonne of Pee-wee’s Playhouse: She’ll always be ‘the most beautiful woman in Puppetland.’ 💔.”

In addition to her accomplished acting career, Stewart portrayed Miss Yvonne on Pee-wee’s Playhouse from 1986 to 1980 and several of its franchise spinoffs.

A cause of death for Stewart has not been revealed.

Actor Paul Reubens Dead at 70: Cher and More Stars React

Stewart had met Pee-wee’s Playhouse star Paul Reubens, who died in July 2023, when they were both members of the famed Los Angeles improv troupe, The Groundlings, in the 1970s. Stewart also visited with Reubens shortly before his death.

“I got to be in the hospital with him,” she told People in July 2024. “He said, ‘I have loved deeply, and I’ve been loved in return.’ I said, ‘Paul, you’re loved all over the world.’ And I was so glad to be able to tell him that.”

Stewart added, “He was funny to the end. I said to him, ‘You fulfilled a little girl’s dream.’ He was like, ‘Oh, do I have to hear this story again?’ And so he never lost it. He never lost his sense of humor.”

Many famous faces joined Peterson, 73, in mourning the late actress’ legacy.

“Our dear sweet friend, the great Lynne Stewart passed away today. You may know her as Miss Yvonne from Pee Wee’s Playhouse, and we met her through Paul Reubens,” Somebody Feed Phil star Phil Rosenthal wrote via Instagram on Friday. “We all fell in love and they became family. Lynne was always charming, wonderful, even magical- funny and bawdy as hell and sweet to everyone, especially the kids, who adored her.”

He continued, “How could you not? An angel. I love you Lynne, will miss you terribly, but so happy and lucky to have known you at all. You’re so much more than the most beautiful woman in Puppetland.”

Actor Drew Powell also expressed his condolences.

“Lynne Marie Stewart was just the kindest most affirming most supportive person I’ve come across. Always in my corner. Always beaming with positivity and love,” Powell, 49, wrote via Instagram on Friday. “What a legacy she leaves. We will miss her very much… Farewell Miss Yvonne. You’re the most beautiful woman in puppetland, inside and out!”

Porsha Williams Addresses Estranged Husband Simon Guobadia's ICE Detainment

Porsha Williams Reacts to Estranged Husband Simon Guobadia's ICE Detainment: 'Disheartening'

The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Porsha Williams has broken her silence after her estranged husband, Simon Guobadia, was detained by immigration officials.

“It’s disheartening to see my estranged husband make choices that have led to this outcome,” Williams, 43, wrote in a Friday, February 21, Instagram statement. “At this moment, my priority is moving forward with my family.”

Us Weekly broke the news earlier on Friday that Guobadia, who was born in Nigeria, is currently being held at Georgia’s Stewart Detention Center, per U.S. Department of Homeland Security records. Guobadia’s status is listed as “in ICE custody,” referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (President Donald Trump signed a mass deportation plan into effect earlier this year, which means that illegal immigrants could be deported back to their home countries.)

According to Atlanta’s WSB-TV 2, Guobadia, now 60, immigrated to the U.S. in 1982 and allegedly overstayed his visa. He returned to America in 1986 and apparently also overstayed a work visa. Guobadia was arrested the next year, pleading guilty to bank and credit card fraud. After two more arrests, Guobadia was deported in 1992.

Guobadia was later able to return to the U.S., eventually meeting Williams in 2021. They got engaged within one month of dating and tied the knot in November 2022. News broke in February 2024 that Williams filed for divorce after 15 months of marriage.

“Thank you for your prayers & support. – PW,” she succinctly wrote via Instagram at the time, adding a broken heart emoji to the post.

Simon was previously married to RHOA alum Falynn Guobadia, initially denying that there was any overlap in the two romances. (Simon announced his engagement to Williams less than one month after revealing his divorce.)

“I’d like to seize this opportunity to thank every well-wisher of Porsha and I, whether via phone, text or DM,” Simon wrote via Instagram in May 2021. “You affirm my [belief] that finding love is possible for everyone who genuinely seeks one. Getting married again was never a question in my mind, but when. Did not expect to be blessed with a mate so soon. The interesting thing about life is that it is an individual journey.”

He added at the time: “We travel this road not lightly considering we have [been] in relationships that have [taught] us to want and do better for ourselves. I asked her to marry me because we checked ALL of each other’s boxes, and then some. We have done the individual work to sustain a healthy relationship, and I stand next to her, proud that we found each other.”

Williams, for her part, was previously married to Kordell Stewart from 2011 to 2013 before moving on with Dennis McKinley, with whom she shares daughter Pilar. Williams and McKinley split in 2018 and have continued to coparent their 5-year-old daughter.

“Pilar Jhena’ love of my life,” Williams gushed via Instagram of her child earlier this month. “You make every day brighter and I thank God for you endlessly.”

How Jason Kelce Could Initially Tell Travis ‘Really Liked’ Taylor Swift

Jason Kelce Says He Could Tell Brother Travis ‘Really, Really Liked’ Taylor Swift ‘From the Get-Go’

According to Jason Kelce, brother Travis Kelce was “down bad” as soon as he started dating Taylor Swift.

“I remember the first time he said he was hanging out with her and I remember just being, like, ‘Are you kidding me? You’re hanging out with Taylor Swift, like, that’s insane [and] that’s awesome for you,’” Jason, 37, recalled during the Friday, February 21, episode of “The Steam Room” podcast. “You meet a lot of people [and] I think this felt different.”

Travis, 35, famously shot his shot with Swift, also 35, during a July 2023 episode of his and Jason’s “New Heights” podcast. At the time, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end called out Swift for “not wanting to meet” — and exchange phone numbers — when he attended her Eras Tour show in KC. Soon enough, Swift listened to Kelce’s “metal as hell” podcast shout-out and got in touch. They started quietly dating for several months before making their public debut at one of his Chiefs games in September 2023.

After Travis began hanging out with Swift, he informed his family of the blossoming romance.

“What also felt different is the way he talks about her and talked about her from the moment he was with her,” Jason said on Friday. “You could tell how much he really, really liked her right from the get-go and just first impressions. I think that level early on of that was something that was very eye-opening to me when we first had discussions.”

Jason initially learned of Travis’ connection with Swift long before the romance became a mainstream headline.

“We knew before everyone else knew but it was not, like … it did not hit the group chat,” Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, joked during an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast earlier this month. “Jase and I found out together, but we knew before they hard-launched with her going to a game.”

Jason and Kylie, 32, met Swift in person for the first time at a 2024 playoff game and later linked up for an intimate double date.

“It was at home,” Kylie added on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “I don’t know that I really ate the meal. This is going to sound terrible. I didn’t really eat the meal because I was eight weeks pregnant.”

Kylie, who is currently pregnant with her and Jason’s fourth baby, later clarified that she didn’t refuse Swift’s cooking.

“I wouldn’t refuse anything, especially if I was without child,” Kylie said on the Thursday, February 20, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “The home-cooked meals that I did not get to enjoy were not because I refused to eat them, but because the child in my womb overwhelmed me with hormones that suggested if I consume anything other than crackers, that it might be seen again if you catch my drift. Anyone who has experienced pregnancy nausea knows that it’s not a choice. At eight weeks, that’s not a choice.”

Kid Rock and Fiancee Audrey Berry Split After 7-Year Engagement: Sources

Kid Rock and fiancée Audrey Berry have broken up after their seven-year engagement, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.

A source exclusively tells Us that Kid Rock, 54, has separated from Berry and has moved on, with a second insider noting the pair called it quits late last year.

“He is venturing into the dating pool,” per the source.

Neither the singer nor Berry has addressed the breakup. Us has reached out for comment.

Celebrity Couples Who Have Filed for Divorce More Than Once

Earlier this month, the “Born Free” crooner was spotted getting into a cab with Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert, according to Page Six. The duo reportedly left a party together in Washington, D.C. at 2:30 a.m. TMZ, meanwhile, reported that the pair were spotted chatting at an inaugural event for President Donald Trump.

Kid Rock (real name Robert James Ritchie) had reportedly proposed to Berry seven years earlier in April 2017, according to the Detroit Free Press. They were first linked in 2011 and long kept their relationship private.

“This is somebody who is not a celebrity. It can really be a tough thing to deal with,” he said during a 2011 interview with Piers Morgan. “I’m thinking of somebody else, trying not to be so selfish.”

Kid Rock initially crossed paths with Berry in his native Detroit shortly after his divorce from ex-wife Pamela Anderson. (Rock and Anderson, now 57, were married from 2006 to 2007.)

The singer, who also is the father to 31-year-old son Robert James Ritchie Jr. from a past relationship, offered rare insight into his romance with Berry in a 2021 profile with Hook & Barrel magazine.

“Every day I pinch myself. I give many, many thanks. I do give a lot of attribution to the hard work that I’ve put in, but at the end of the day, I’ve been a very lucky person,” he told Hook & Barrel. “My fiancée, Audrey, says I have a golden horseshoe up my a–. I don’t take anything for granted, and I think that’s because it took me so long in the trenches to make it, and I worked so hard, but there’s no question I give thanks every day to the position I’m in.”

At the time, Kid Rock also noted that he and Berry enjoyed going hunting together.

“I’ve really gone to a lot of bird hunting, a lot of ducks and a lot of doves, but my favorite time of the year is the fall when I can go up to Montana and run the mountains for elk. There’s something so rewarding about it,” Kid Rock said. “She took right to [deer hunting], but I’m too impatient. I get anxious, and if I see a monster 10-pointer, and he’s 180 yards away, and I’ve got a compound bow, I’m just pissed off.”

He added, “People say they do it for the adrenaline rush or whatever, but I get that every time I step onto the stage. When I’m hunting, I want to get something.”

Turkish influencer Gizem Özmen has reportedly died following a car crash. She was 24.

Özmen, best known as Lavinia Özmen on TikTok, died following a traffic collision in Manisa, according to a Monday, February 17, report by CNNTurk. The social media star and another individual, who has not been publicly identified, allegedly died when their car crashed into a tanker parked in the emergency lane.

CNN further reported that law enforcement and first responders had been dispatched to the scene, where Özmen and the vehicle’s driver were both pronounced dead.

Further details have not been revealed and an investigation is ongoing.

Özmen was active on TikTok, amassing 200,000 followers. She last posted on Monday ahead of the CNN report, and the comments have since been flooded with “RIP” messages.

She also had more than 26,000 followers on Instagram, where she often opened up about hardships faced during childhood. Özmen last posted on Instagram on February 9 to share a similar story about a woman named Ela.

In the comments section, many of Özmen’s followers expressed their condolences.

“Rest in peace ❤😢,” one translated message reads, while another says, “We have a new story. The name of our story is Lavinia [who] lost her life in a car accident.”

Another social media user felt a specific kinship to Özmen due to similar upbringings.

“I talked to her for a while, we didn’t really know each other, but we became friends on social media,” the fan replied. “I knew her story, our story was almost the same, but now after her death, it is really very painful and very sad that his videos come across us like this. I get emotional whenever I see it. Rest in peace and rest in peace 🤍 May Allah give patience to her relatives.”

Other social media users called Özmen “a very good person [and] sister.”

“May God rest her soul in peace 🤍 It took a long time 🥺🥀,” another message reads.

As Özmen would share a series of anonymous stories of trauma, she nicknamed herself “Lavinia, the Voice of Silent Battles.”

“She was so strong, always talked about fighting. She said that no matter what happens, one must fight on in life,” another Instagram commenter added earlier this week. “Maybe that was the reason I liked her out of all the thousands of influencers. So strong, such a warrior, I can’t believe she’s gone.”

Angelina Jolie and Dad Jon Voight's Relationship in Their Own Words

Everything Angelina Jolie and Father Jon Voight Have Said About Their Complicated Relationship

Angelina Jolie and her father, Jon Voight, have been candid about navigating ups and downs through the years.

Jolie is the daughter of Voight and late actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died in 2007 after a battle with ovarian and breast cancer. Six months after the pair welcomed Jolie, they called it quits. Jolie and her brother, James Haven, were primarily raised by their mother.

“My mom married at 21, and by the time she was 25 she was divorced with two little kids,” Jolie recalled to The Guardian in 2021. “She couldn’t be the artist she wanted to be, but she raised her children with art and creativity. Even if it was a birthday party, she found a way to put those talents to use.”

She added, “While I loved her softness, she loved my strength. She was very still, and I’m constantly in motion. I was very sexual, and she was much more of a lady. But she saw my true self and encouraged it fully, and she taught me to do that for my own children.”

Jolie — who shares six kids with ex-husband Brad Pitt — has since gone through periods of estrangement from her father.

Despite any father-daughter drama, Voight still remains a proud grandfather.

“The kids are great. They’re growing up. They’re doing very well. It’s just amazing to have kids and watch them grow,” he exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2019. “You realize the preciousness of time and how short our lives are really. Kids don’t know that. When they’re young, they think life is endless and they’re always anxious to get to the next age.”

Jolie and Voight initially reconnected in 2001 when he played her onscreen father in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. While promoting the film, Jolie told USA Today, “If we weren’t related, we’d be friends. I like who he is.”

The next year, Jolie claimed in a Vogue profile that they were on the outs.

“My father would not be a good person to interview,” she said with a laugh. “God only knows what he’ll say. We don’t really speak that much anymore.”

In a separate conversation for the Vogue story, Voight acknowledged their “ins and outs.”

“Angie and I are a lot alike, and for whatever reason, we speak our piece,” he said. “We’re very passionate people, and we’ve had our ins and outs, but mostly there’s a lot of love between us.”

February 2010

Voight exclusively told Us that he had recently gone on vacation with Jolie, Pitt and their children.

“It’s nice to have something that’s positive,” he gushed. “It’s a very beautiful trip. A lot of fun. … I love the possibility of spending time with the family. It’s a very beautiful thing.”

Three years later, Voight told the New York Daily News that he had recently spent time with Jolie and Haven — but he was out of the loop about Jolie’s then-recent preventative double mastectomy.

“I saw her two days ago with my son Jamie. We all got together for his birthday, with her and Brad. But I didn’t know. It wasn’t obvious at all,” he said. “I found out [about her procedure on Tuesday] morning. I was as surprised as anyone and deeply moved by the way she’s handled this. She’s a very extraordinary person, the way she examined it and what she shared.”

At the time, a source confirmed to Us that only “very, very few [people] knew” about her mastectomy plans.

August 2014

Voight wasn’t present when Jolie and Pitt tied the knot, learning the news during a sit-down with Inside Edition.

“It seems like it was very nice, and with all of the kids involved, it must have been a lot of fun and very beautiful,” he told Us that same month. “I’m happy for them. …  I didn’t know it was happening — it was Emmys week, so I wasn’t able to go.”

July 2017

By 2017, Jolie and Voight appeared to reconcile on the heels of her divorce from Pitt.

“He’s been very good at understanding [that my kids] needed their grandfather at this time,” she told Vanity Fair. “I had to do a therapy meeting last night and he was just around. He knows kind of the rule — don’t make them play with you. Just be a cool grandpa who’s creative, and hang out and tell stories and read a book in the library.”

Voight told Us that Jolie was a talented actress and he wanted them to share the big screen again.

“I like to be with my children working,” he said. “We haven’t found anything since Tomb Raider, but maybe we will.”

Voight also praised watching Jolie becoming a parent, adding, “She’s a really good, good mommy. Well, it’s the way she has to do it herself. It’s just how she lives her life. And she does! She’s very open.”

December 2023

Jolie opened up about her upbringing in a WSJ. Magazine feature.

“Because I grew up around Hollywood, I was never very impressed with it,” she confessed. “I never bought into it as significant or important.”

The Oscar winner further claimed that she often “wanted to escape” from the limelight throughout her early years in the spotlight amid mental health challenges.

June 2024

Jolie produced The Outsiders musical alongside daughter Vivienne. After the Broadway production won Best Musical at the Tony Awards, Voight shared his congratulations.

“I’m very proud of Vivienne. I’m really proud of Angie because she really tries to encourage each of the kids to be what they want to be,” he told TMZ. “It’s interesting because I just worked with Francis [Ford] Coppola on Megalopolis. During the filming of Megalopolis, I got a call from Angie and she said, ‘I’m doing Outsiders.’ Vivienne read the book and then went down to see this pre-Broadway version close to San Diego. She went down four times and said, ‘Mom, you’ve got to see this.’ Angie was very interested. It showed something of Vivienne she’d never seen before.”

July 2024

In a Variety profile, Voight confirmed his latest reconciliation with Jolie as he hinted that much of their estrangement revolved around differing political ideologies.

“She has been exposed to propaganda,” he claimed to the outlet. “She’s been influenced by antisemitic people. Angie has a connection to the U.N., and she’s enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees.”

Jolie never publicly addressed her father’s comments, though a source told Variety that she “wishes [Voight] well.”

OnlyFans Star Bonnie Blue Addresses Pregnancy Rumors

OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue clarified online speculation that she is expecting a baby.

“I am not pregnant,” Blue, 25, said in a Thursday, February 20, YouTube video. “I’d say, about a week ago, [there were] rumors about me being pregnant and quite a lot of the media approached me and said, ‘Look, can you add [a] comment?’ At the time, I was like, ‘A comment on what?’ Because I’m not pregnant [and] I haven’t even hinted at it. Nothing has been mentioned.”

According to Blue, she only started to lean into the speculation — the influencer teased via her Instagram Stories earlier this week that she was having “cravings” — as a way to “start giving back” to her followers.

“The last 24 hours I’ve hinted at being pregnant,” Blue said. “I have never confirmed I was pregnant because I would never ever lie about pregnancy. Lying about pregnancy is a step too far.”

OnlyFans' Bonnie Blue Says She Had Sex With 1,057 Men in 12 Hours

She added, “Like, for me, back before I was a massive slut, I tried to get pregnant [for] a long amount of time. It was, honestly, the most lonely experience because you don’t really tell family and friends. It’s not something that’s spoken about much.”

Blue, who is best known for her goal to sleep with 1,000 men in a day, had dealt with fertility struggles before signing up for OnlyFans and documenting her sex challenges.

“Also, IVF is expensive and even buying pregnancy tests — at the time I was living in Australia, living off savings — every month is expensive,” she recalled. “And then you’re buying your ovulation test and all these vitamins, doing anything possible to try and get yourself pregnant. It’s expensive.”

OnlyFans' Bonnie Blue on How Much She Makes, Her Ex-Husband and More Revs

According to Blue, “it’s hard” to also see multiple negative pregnancy tests while everyone around her was announcing their own baby news.

“It’s something [you think] as a woman, ‘Why can’t I get pregnant? I should be able to get pregnant,’” she explained. “I knew my only sort of options was, potentially IVF or looking at other options and I didn’t have money for that.”

Blue now wants to use her newfound media attention and “extra income” to help cover a stranger’s IVF costs.

“I want to do good and I want to do better,” she stated. “I want to pleasure people — and I don’t just mean guys. I think paying for someone’s IVF journey is something I’m passionate about, something I want to do and something that’s going to do good with my money.”

Blue’s pregnancy denial comes days after fellow sex-positive influencer Lily Phillips claimed to be expecting her first baby. Phillips, 23, has not addressed rumors that her alleged pregnancy is fake.

Blake Lively Says She Got 'Violent' Messages Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

Blake Lively Says She Got Violent Messages Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

Blake Lively reportedly requested a protective order in light of her and It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal battle.

Lively, 37, and husband Ryan Reynolds submitted a letter to a judge on Thursday, February 20, Us Weekly can confirm, to ask for a stronger protective order than the one they were granted. (Lively was previously issued a standard PO after the lawsuits were initially filed.)

“As detailed in Ms. Lively’s Amended Complaint, Ms. Lively, her family, other members of the cast, various fact witnesses, and individuals that have spoken out publicly in support of Ms. Lively have received violent, profane, sexist, and threatening communications,” the letter reads, adding Lively is now seeking “additional protections.”

Team Baldoni responded to Lively’s protective order request on Friday, telling Us in a statement, “Anyone receiving violent messages by anonymous parties is abhorrent. When private parties were wrongfully accused by Lively and her paid team of wrongdoing, they received continuous death threats and visits to private homes where young children reside after their addresses were leaked on her initial complaints. No one should have to face that, especially private parties who do not have means for security detail. We do not condone dangerous rhetoric targeted toward anyone no matter the situation.”

How Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Are Coping Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuits

Lively named Baldoni, 41, in a December 2024 lawsuit, claiming that he sexually harassed her and fostered a “hostile work environment” on the set of 2024’s It Ends With Us. She amended her complaint earlier this month, also detailing the “emotional impact” of the legal fallout.

“The emotional impact on Ms. Lively has been extreme, not only affecting her, but her family, including her husband and four children,” court docs obtained by Us read. “There are days when she has struggled to get out of bed, and she frequently chooses not to venture outside in public.”

Lively’s attorneys further claimed that the actress has “fought to maintain her personal life and business interests” despite the legal proceedings.

“Behind closed doors, she has suffered from grief, fear, trauma and extreme anxiety,” the filing adds. “She also has been experiencing repeated and painful physical symptoms as a result of this experience.”

The documents also mention alleged “threats and harassment” that Lively has received on social media.

“The threats and harassment are not limited to Ms. Lively,” the docs continue. “Any individual with even a tangential connection with the underlying events faces attack and the inevitable emotional consequence of feeling targeted and shamed. … Other cast members have received threats, online harassment, and floods of comments to their social media accounts.”

Blake Lively Responds to Justin Baldoni’s New $400 Million Lawsuit

Lively further claimed in the complaint that Reynolds, 47, and the couple’s four young children were also affected by the drama.

“Mr. Reynolds, too, has been affected mentally, physically, and professionally by his wife’s and children’s pain,” the docs argue. “Worst of all, however, has been the impact on their young children, who have been traumatized and emotionally uprooted in ways that have substantially impacted their well-being.”

Lively also alleged that two of her It Ends With Us colleagues previously accused Baldoni of misconduct on set, which he vehemently denied.

“Our clients have been transparent in providing receipts, real time documents and video showing a completely different story than what has been manipulated and cherry-picked to the media,” Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman said in a statement to Us on Wednesday, February 19. “Our clients have taken this matter and these issues very seriously notwithstanding the jokes made publicly by the plaintiff and her husband.”

The statement continued, “Her underwhelming amended complaint is filled with unsubstantial hearsay of unnamed persons who are clearly no longer willing to come forward or publicly support her claims. Since documents do not lie and people do, the upcoming depositions of those who initially supported Ms. Lively’s false claims and those who are witnesses to her own behavior will be enlightening. What is truly uncomfortable here is Ms. Lively’s lack of actual evidence.”

Baldoni has denied all of Lively’s allegations, filing a $400 defamation suit in January that claimed the Gossip Girl alum was “determined to make Baldoni the real-life villain in her story” to mask her reported “tone-deaf” promotion of the film. Lively denied the accusations.

Love Is Blind's Kylie Details Brian Romance, Being Cut From Season 8

Love Is Blind Kylie Shuelke Jokes About Brian C Sumption Romance Being Cut From Season 8

Love Is Blind participant Kylie Schuelke has jokes about her romance with Brian Sumption being cut from season 8.

“Love is blind … and so was my screen time,” Kylie, 28, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 20. “Trust me — I had a great time and wouldn’t trade this experience for anything!”

The medical student uploaded a series of screenshots from her time in the women’s lounge and in the pods, setting the post to Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) vault track “Is It Over Now?”

Kylie was one of the Minnesota singles cast on season 8 of the Netflix experiment, where she fell in love with Brian, 30, sight unseen. Their romance, however, was not featured in the new episodes. (While viewers saw five couples get engaged, EP Chris Coelen later confirmed that two other couples similarly popped the question but weren’t shown on the broadcast.)

Couples Who Were Edited Out of Love Is Blind — And If They’re Still Together

“From the pods to reality — what a journey,” Kylie and Brian wrote in a joint Instagram post earlier this week. “Grateful for every moment, every lesson, and everyone I met along the way. Love Is Blind — you were a wild, unforgettable ride.”

In the pair’s social media hard launch, Kylie and Brian shared a kiss in front of his Troubadour Wine Bar.

In addition to finding love with Brian, Kylie also left the pods with a crew of new friends.

“You got bars. I just wanted to see you saying ‘Aren’t we all boyfriends and girlfriends?!’” Brittany Dodson wrote via Instagram comment on Thursday, to which Kylie confessed she was “still confused by this concept.”

Molly Mullaney also concurred that the ladies had a blast behind the scenes.

“Someone give us a funny moments reel and put that in there stat,” Molly, 30, replied. “Along with the lime moment lmao.”

Fellow pod alum Ashley Suter also chimed in, writing, “Love you.”

'Love Is Blind’ Couples Status Check: Who Is Still Together?

Kylie also reposted Tiera Shavone and Casandra Ann’s own tributes about their similarly cut LiB journeys.

“Dear God, When You told me I’d get the Love Is Blind opportunity, I believed You. When You told me I was on an assignment, I understood—but I still held onto hope that I might find love. I went into the experience hopeful, but I left feeling so fulfilled,” Tiera, 34, wrote via Instagram. “Without even trying, I reflected Your glory and all You’ve done for me. I praised You, but I never judged those who didn’t. I moved in love. I moved in light. And hearing people say their lives were changed just by witnessing my love for You — it made me feel so unworthy. But isn’t that just like You? You don’t call the qualified; You qualify the called.”

She added, “To all the women I had the privilege of being cast with — I love you all! You were lights in my life when the world felt so dark.”

Casandra, 30, meanwhile, gushed that she “found something even more special in the pods.”

Love Is Blind is currently streaming on Netflix. New episodes drop weekly.

NPR Host Addresses Girlfriend's Death in D.C. Plane Crash: 'Emotional Hell'

NPR host Adrian Ma has been navigating an unimaginable “emotional hell” since his girlfriend, Kiah Duggins, died in the recent American Airlines plane crash in Washington, D.C.

Ma, who cohosts NPR’s “The Indicator” podcast, was supposed to pick Duggins up from the local D.C. airport after her flight landed from Wichita, Kansas. When he never received a text about his girlfriend’s arrival, he asked for further details from an employee.

“The person at the counter just sort of gives me, like, a blank expression,” Ma recently recalled to NPR, noting he then received a text from a friend. “She says, ‘I think you’re supposed to pick Kiah up at the airport tonight. Do you know what flight she was on?’ And I tell her the number and she starts breathing faster. And she says, ‘Well, I’m seeing this thing on the internet about a crash near the airport.’ And my stomach drops.”

News broke on January 29 that an American flight traveling from Wichita to D.C. had collided with a military helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River. There were no survivors among the 60 passengers and four crew members on the commercial flight.

Since learning of Duggins’ passing at age 30, Ma noted to the outlet that it has “basically felt like being in emotional hell.”

“There are reminders of Kiah everywhere. Her glasses are on the nightstand. Her clothes are in the closet. Little curls of her hair are scattered around,” he said. “I hear echoes of her voice sometimes, especially when I see something and I want to turn to her and say, like ‘Hey, check this out.’ Then, I realize I can’t do that anymore. So it’s just been a new level of pain that I didn’t know I could experience.”

While addressing Duggins’ death, Ma explained that he wanted to “exorcise the pain that keeps building in [his] chest.”

“I also wanted to talk about Kiah,” he said. “I think the more that I can plant just a little sense of who this person was in people’s minds, the more that she can live on, in a sense.”

Duggins was a civil rights attorney and an incoming law professor at the Howard University School of Law. In addition to her impressive career, Ma wants people to remember her positive spirit.

“She loved to ask you, ‘What was a magical moment from your day?’” he recalled, further highlighting their multiple trips to Disney World. “She loved to say, ‘I have some issues with the company, but you go there and it’s just kind of awesome to get lost in this very fantastical place where everybody is kind of doing the same thing.’ It was really, really, really fun.”

He added, “The combination of those two things is one of the many reasons that I fell in love with her.”

Duggins has also been mourned by the likes of Tina Knowles and more.

“So very saddened by the loss of this beautiful accomplished young woman,” Knowles, 71, wrote via Instagram last month. “Rest in peace to her family sending condolences and love to you. God bless your soul, Kiah❤❤❤.”
