26 February 2025 at 10:47

Buffy the Vampire Slayer wasn’t just entertaining — the series also broke ground in many ways.

The supernatural drama starred Sarah Michelle Gellar as teenage vampire slayer Buffy Summers. Alyson Hannigan, David Boreanaz, Nicholas Brendon, Anthony Stewart Head, James Marsters, Michelle Trachtenberg and many more were in the cast.

The series, created by Joss Whedon, was based on the 1992 film of the same name and ran for seven seasons on The WB and UPN from 1997 to 2003. The show’s popularity led to the spinoff titled Angel, in which Boreanaz starred for five seasons.

Buffy was praised for featuring a strong feminist hero and showcasing an LGBTQ romance between Hannigan’s character Willow Rosenberg and Amber Benson’s Tara Maclay.

However, a dark cloud came over Buffy in February 2021 when Charisma Carpenter, who played Cordelia Chase, accused Whedon of creating a toxic work environment on the set. Whedon has yet to address the accusations.

Most Shocking Celebrity Deaths of All Time

Us Weekly News

The loss of a Hollywood great is never easy, but in certain cases, a star’s passing comes long before it was their time to go.

Talents like Amy Winehouse, Prince, Whitney Houston, Cory Monteith and Robin Williams all left this world abruptly and without warning.

Stars including Chadwick Boseman, Willie Garson and Norm Macdonald all fought private battles with cancer.

Boseman was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016. After quietly fighting the disease — and filming numerous movies, including Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom — he died in August 2020 at the age of 43.

While some of Hollywood’s greatest talents were taken too soon, including Bob Saget, who passed away in January 2022 at age 65, other stars left fans wanting more … even if they lived into their 90s. That was the case when Betty White died on New Year’s Eve 2021 at age 99.

Scroll down to see what other greats went too soon:

Liam Payne — In October 2024, Us confirmed that the former One Direction member died at age 31. He fell from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Argentina.

Charlie Colin — Colin, who was the bassist for the band Train, died in May 2024 at the age of 58. He died after accidentally falling in the shower, which his mother confirmed to TMZ.

Matthew Perry — In October 2023, Perry passed away at age 54 following an apparent drowning. He was found in a jacuzzi by law enforcement who had responded to a call about someone suffering from a cardiac arrest.

Angus Cloud — The Euphoria actor died in July 2023 at age 25. Cloud’s passing came one week after he buried his father. “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways,” the actor’s family said in a statement at the time. “Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend.”
Cloud’s loved ones added: “Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence. We hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss.”

Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss — The former So You Think You Can Dance contestant died at age 40 in December 2022. His wife, Allison Holker, addressed the news in a heartbreaking statement soon after.
"To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won't be a day that goes by that we won't honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children," she told People. "Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you."
The couple tied the knot in December 2013 and raised three children together.

Ray Liotta — Deadline reported in May 2022 that the No Sudden Move star died in his sleep. He was 67.

Bob Saget — The Full House alum was found unresponsive in January 2022 in his Florida hotel room while in town for a comedy show. He was pronounced dead at the scene at age 65. One month later, authorities concluded that Saget passed from “head trauma” after he “accidentally hit the back of his head on something,” according to a statement from his family.“Every day it feels a little bit better, but then it’ll hit you outta nowhere,” Candace Cameron Bure, who played Saget’s eldest TV daughter on Full House, told Us in February 2022 of his passing. “I will really greatly miss his friendship and the laughs and the hugs.”

Betty White — While the Golden Girls alum lived a long life — and had a very successful career in Hollywood — her death in December 2021 shocked her fans as it came just shy of her 100th birthday. The legendary actress passed away on New Year’s Eve at age 99. Her milestone birthday was on January 17, 2022.Us confirmed in January 2022 that White suffered a cerebrovascular accident, according to her death certificate.

He was a source of light, friendship and show business lore. He was a consummate professional — always.”

The comedian privately battled cancer for nearly 10 years before his passing. “He was most proud of his comedy,” his longtime producing partner, Lori Jo Hoekstra, told Us in a statement at the time. “He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the audience or any of his loved ones saw him. Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.”

Dustin Diamond — The Saved by the Bell alum died at the age of 44 in February 2021, just three weeks after being diagnosed with stage IV small cell carcinoma. “In that time, it managed to spread rapidly throughout his system; the only mercy it exhibited was its sharp and swift execution," his rep said in a statement to Us. “Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful.”

The Black Panther star died at the age of 43 in August 2020 at his Los Angeles home after secretly battling colon cancer for four years. “It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman,” the family said in a statement at the time. “Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016 and battled with it these last four years as it progressed to stage IV. A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther. He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.”

SAG Awards: Best and Wackiest Red Carpet Looks of All Time

Us Weekly News

21 February 2025 at 14:17

Unlike some other ceremonies, the SAG Awards give celebs a chance to show off their style and pack a little extra punch with their outfits.

While the show never fails to serve up glitz and glamour, it’s garnered quite a reputation for out-of-the-box outfits. There’s never a shortage of buzz-worthy ensembles, from jumpsuits to sequins or daring dresses.

Perhaps one of the show’s most iconic outfits came to pass in 2010 when Kate Hudson slayed in a backless Emilio Pucci gown that was seemingly a page of Andy Anderson’s playbook. The actress topped best-dressed lists across the board with a low hem that showed off her toned physique and delicate silver detailing.

Unfortunately, not all red-carpet moments are as amazing as Hudson’s. In 2014, Meryl Streep made headlines in a black dress designed by Stella McCartney. Even though the star can do no wrong in our eyes, many thought the gown looked like a skirt that was pulled up above her shoulders.

To see all these looks and more of the jaw-dropping fashion from SAG Awards show’s past, keep scrolling:

Ariana Greenblatt — The Barbie star commanded attention with a velvet red wine custom Vera Wang gown featuring an A-line skirt in 2024.

Emma Stone — Stone wowed in a Louis Vuitton number that was embellished with pearls, sequins and crystals in 2024.

Brie Larson — Larson flaunted her abs in a custom Atelier Versace look featuring a long-sleeved crop top and a low-waisted skirt in 2024.

Rachel Brosnahan — The actress opted for a bronze Tamara Ralph look with a tiered skirt and floral neckline in 2024.

Margot Robbie — Robbie got leggy in a black Schiaparelli mini dress in 2024. The pièce de résistance was her pink train, which was strapped to her shoulder and wrapped around her waist.

Danielle Brooks — Brooks wore an interesting look custom-designed by Christian Siriano in 2024. Her ensemble featured half of a long blazer and half of a billowing skirt that cascaded behind her.

Ali Wong was the talk of the night in 2024 in a black and white Iris Van Herpen Couture dress that protruded from her body in all angles.

Tan France — France elevated his black-and-white Amit Aggarwal look with a horizontal tie.

Best Glitz Moment — Lady Gaga rocked a stunning white Armani gown in 2022.

Worst Turtleneck Ensemble — Jada Pinkett Smith's navy blue vintage Gareth Pugh dress left a little more to be desired.

Best Sweetheart Neckline — For the 2021 event, Cynthia Erivo stunned in a blush-colored Alexander McQueen gown. She accessorized the look with Forevermark jewels.

Worst Footwear — While the Schitt’s Creek actress rocked the menswear-inspired look in 2021, her shoes should have made more of a statement.

Best Sequin — At the 2020 ceremony, Lupita Nyong’o dazzled in a black and white Louis Vuitton dress that featured 20,000 sequins and 12,000 glass beads. She accessorized the look with Forevermark jewels.

Worst Print — While Margo Robbie’s natural makeup looked stunning at the 2020 awards, her plaid Chanel Halter dress missed the mark.

Best Off-the-Shoulder — Mandy Moore looked gorgeous at the 2019 event in a sleek Jason Wu gown with a beaded off-the-shoulder neckline. She paired the dress with Jimmy Choo shoes and Niwaka jewels.

Best Princess Moment — Dakota Fanning stunned at the 2018 awards in shimmering soft peach Prada gown with diamante detail at the trim.

Best Jumpsuit — Yara Shahidi's jumpsuit isn't technically a gown, but that's one of the reasons it stood out! With a chic train and pockets, this Ralph Lauren Collection number was the star of the 2018 red carpet.

Best Metallic Moment — Michelle Williams' striped silver and gold sequin Louis Vuitton number with neck piece was as chic as was flattering.

Best Use of Feathers — Nicole Kidman’s plunging emerald sequin Gucci gown with parrot shoulders was a showstopper.

Worst Panty Show — Kate Hudson’s Christian Dior gown's caped sleeves looked luxe but the visible underwear band detracted.

Best Nearly Naked Dress — Taraji P. Henson turned heads in a sheer-top Reem Acra nude gown with silver embellishments and Nirav Modi jewelry.

Worst Jumpsuit — While Gwendoline Christie’s Vivienne Westwood Couture sequin one-piece looked chic, it failed to flatter the Game of Thrones’ actresses body.

Best Glam Cutout Gown — Julianne Moore shimmered on the red carpet in a pistachio Givenchy Haute Couture dress and jewelry by Chopard.

Worst Shoe Pairing — Gaby Hoffmann’s long sleeve sequin column gown was glamorous, but the green suede heels threw off the whole look.

Best Pop of Color — Sofia Vergara wowed in a hot pink bodycon column dress by Vera Wang, accessorizing with a matching Jimmy Choo clutch and a statement collar necklace by David Webb.

Best Color-Blocking — Winning! Alicia Vikander, who took home an award for her performance in The Danish Girl, sparkled in a mixed-metal color blocked column gown by Louis Vuitton.

Worst Cutout — Hey, cut it out! Kaley Cuoco picked a one-shouldered black cutout dress by Ramona Keveza that showed off her ab muscles. Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Jimmy Choo heels completed her sultry ensemble.

Best Draping — TKO! Supporting her husband Matthew McConaughey, Camila Alves stunned at the 2015 ceremony in this eggplant-hued dress by Donna Karan Atelier, tailored and draped to perfection. She finished with an Aldo clutch.

Worst Sleeves — Boyhood&apos;s Lorelei Linklater hit the 2015 carpet in a black dress with lace-trimmed bell sleeves so large, they completely obscured her arms.

Best Non-Maternity Maternity — Keira Knightley concealed her baby bump in this tiered, purple lace Erdem dress with a sheer neckline.

Best Embellishments — Just one of her stunning 2014 awards season looks, Lupita Nyong'o's teal Gucci dress scored points not only for its vibrant hue, but also for its gorgeous floral neckline. Bonus: She added matching eyeshadow.

Worst Feathers — Perhaps Angie Harmon was inspired by Black Swan when she chose a pink Monique Lhuillier strapless gown adorned with fluffy feathers in 2011.

Best Color Choice — While some fashion critics accused her of copying Michelle Williams' marigold-hued 2006 Oscars dress, it's undeniable that Diane Kruger looked incredible in her vibrant Jason Wu gown in 2010.

Worst Cake Topper — We applaud Sarah Paulson for taking big style risks, but her 2014 Rochas dress—just a bit too ruffled and twee to be taken seriously—just didn't do it for Us.

Worst LBD — We know—Meryl Streep can do no wrong! Nevertheless, she did make a slight style misstep when she chose this unflattering LBD by Stella McCartney in 2014. The elastic waistline made it look like a skirt pulled up to her shoulders!

Best Lace Look — Lovely in lace! Naomi Watts looked gorgeous in a strapless, floor-length, silvery, lace mermaid gown by Marchesa, which she paired with a sweeping side wavy hairstyle and bold red lips in 2013.

Worst Accessory — While fashion critics were divided on Claire Danes' floral-print strapless Louis Vuitton look in 2011, most agreed that she should've ditched the black velvet buckled belt.

Best Print — Mila Kunis wowed in a red Alexander McQueen gown with a strapless sweetheart neckline and dramatic print in 2011.

Worst Tuxedo Style — Mad about this look? Not quite. January Jones turned heads in a black jersey wrap gown with a white organza halter bodice by Prabal Gurung in 2013, but it was her hairstyle and makeup that truly made this overall look a fashion miss.

Best Red on the Red Carpet — Jessica Chastain with the red carpet win! The actress flaunted her va-va-voom figure in a rouge Alexander McQueen gown in 2013.

Worst Fit — The sparkly L'Wren Scott robe-style dress Mad Men's Christian Hendricks wore in 2011 did little to flatter her amazing curves.

Best Backless — Kate Hudson kicked off the red carpet trend of long-sleeve, backless gowns when she rocked a white Emilio Pucci design that showed off her incredible body in 2010.

Worst Draping — America Ferrera wore an unflattering nude Vera Wang design with biazarre black criss-crossing pieces in 2009.

Best Curves — Kate Winslet's figure looked sexier than ever when she hit the 2009 red carpet in a form-fitting cobalt blue Narciso Rodriguez gown.

Best Maternity Style — In 2011 mom-to-be Natalie Portman showed off her growing bump in a clingy white strapless Azzaro dress and $2 million worth of dazzling Tiffany jewels.

Worst Faux Bridal — The one-shoulder Monique Lhullier gown Teri Hatcher wore in 2009 looked more suitable for walking down an aisle than a red carpet.

Best Ombre — After a few years out of the spotlight, Julia Stiles made a stunning return to the red carpet in a Monique Lhullier navy and white ombre gown last year.

Worst Embellishment — As if the pea green color of Jane Krakowski's Catherine Malandrino dress in 2008 wasn't bad enough, the neckline looked like it was made out of exotic fruit.

Best Sparkle — Weeks after wearing a fussy pink ruffled look at the 2011 Golden Globes, Glee's Lea Michele showed off her sexy side in a plunging beaded Oscar de la Renta number.

Worst Ruffles — The tiered skirt on Toni Collette's strapless, blush-colored Rafael Cennamo gown took away from her gorgeous hair, makeup and jewelry.

Best Strapless — Amanda Bynes took a break from her favorite skintight bandage dresses in a boho-glam teal Marchesa gown with an embellished bodice back in 2008.

Worst Bow — Sandra Oh got slammed for wearing a couture version of a traditional Korean hanbok with a giant pink bow in 2008.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' Relationship Timeline

Us Weekly News

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were once just two friends out on a double date — with other people.

“We went on a double date,” Reynolds told Entertainment Weekly’s SiriusXM show in February 2016. “She was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl — and that was, like, the most awkward date for the respective parties because we were just like fireworks coming across.”

Still, Reynolds said he was glad that the two started off as “buddies” before things turned romantic. “I remember it was funny, because for about a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and all that stuff, we were both single,” he said of their shared 2010 film. “I think the best way to have a relationship is to start as friends.”

Not only did they go to tie the knot in September 2012, but they have since welcomed four children. Reynolds and Lively share daughters James, Inez and Betty, who were born in 2015, 2016 and 2019, respectively. They welcomed their fourth child, son Olin, in 2023.

Scroll through to relive their romance:

July 2010 — Lively and Reynolds made their debut as Green Lantern costars at 2010 Comic-Con at the San Diego Convention Center. At the time, Reynolds was still married to Scarlett Johansson, and Lively was dating Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley.

November 2011 — Reynolds was seen leaving his apartment in Boston with Lively and his dog Baxter. "I've been with very few people," Lively told Marie Claire in June 2012. "If I'm not with somebody who really excites or inspires me, then I'd rather be by myself."

December 2011 — The couple spent the holidays with Reynolds' family in Vancouver, Canada. They held hands while walking through the Granville Island Public Market.

January 2012 — Reynolds and his girlfriend Lively were seen going for a stroll in New Orleans but tried to keep hidden from cameras. "I've been in relationships pretty much since high school," Reynolds told Details magazine in May 2011. "Some people look at that as a good thing. I think wiser people might see that as a house of cards."

May 2012 — The happy pair visited the Ferry Terminal in Nanaimo, British Columbia. "I don't want to date someone just to date someone," Lively told Cosmopolitan in September 2008. "I want to be with a guy who's going to better my quality of life, better me."

January 2015 — Three months later, the actress gave birth to the couple’s first daughter, James, slightly ahead of schedule. “The baby came early but everyone is happy and healthy,” a source told Us at the time.

Reynolds later praised his spouse for her humor throughout the delivery. “My wife is the real, I mean she is a mercenary,” he told Conan O’Brien in August 2015. “At one point in the middle of the delivery, the doctor’s cell phone went off and she said, ‘Oh, no. Go ahead, take a personal call. Feel free.’ She was cracking jokes in the delivery room.”

April 2015 — By April, Lively joked during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she and Reynolds had gone from lovers to adversaries as they began to fight over their daughter’s first word. “We’re total rivals, by the way. I hear ‘dada, dada,’ all the time, and then I walk in the room and he’s like, ‘mama,’" she said. "And I’m like, ’How dare you do that?’”

One month later, they gave the world its first glimpse of their little girl with an Instagram photo of James holding her “dada’s” hand.

June 2016 — Lively gushed about her significant other to Marie Claire in July 2016. “I knew he would always be my best friend for my whole life,” she told the magazine at the time. “That was the biggest thing for me.

September 2016 — The duo welcomed a second daughter, Inez. A source told Us at the time that their visitors to the hospital included Lively’s sister, Robyn, as well as close pal Taylor Swift.

Lively, Reynolds and their two daughters made their debut as a family of four in December 2016 to celebrate the Golden Globe nominee’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “Proud is a pitiful word to describe how I felt today,” Lively captioned an Instagram photo from the event. “@vancityreynolds The permanence of your impact is undeniable …Always has been, but now we have a fancy [star] to show for it.”
Reynolds opened up about how he knew his wife was “the one” to GQ one month prior. “Probably after the sex,” he teased, adding, “No, we were hanging out at this little restaurant in Tribeca that’s open really late, and this song came on and I was just like, ‘Want to dance?’ No one was in there, so it was just totally empty. And it was just one of those moments where halfway through the dance, it was like, ‘Oh, I think I just crossed a line.’”

January 2017 — By January, the twosome were back to glamming it up for the cameras, hitting the 2017 Golden Globes together in their red carpet finest — a black and gold Atelier Versace halter gown for Lively and a crisp black suit with a white undershirt for Reynolds.
That same month, the producer opened up about how his love had helped him navigate Deadpool fandom. “By the time we were in post[-production], we’d been to Comic-Con, and people went crazy for it. The expectations were eating me alive. Blake helped me through that. I’m lucky to have her around just to keep me sane,” he told Variety.

May 2017 — The couple returned to the scene of their first red carpet — the Met Gala — in 2017. Lively opted for a gold Atelier Versace gown with blue feathers, while her man coordinated in a blue tux and tie.

March 2018 — Ever the wise guy, Reynolds had the perfect response to reports of marriage trouble between the pair: “I wish. I could use a little ’me time,’” he tweeted.

Reynolds told Mr. Porter magazine in May 2018 that he credited his significant other with helping him to mend his relationship with father James “Jim” Reynolds ahead of his death (Jim lost a long-fought battle with Parkinson’s disease in 2015). “She has a gift for foresight,” he said at the time.
He shared a similar sentiment while commenting on an Instagram photo from Humans of New York in May 2017: “She always responds with empathy,” he wrote of his wife. “She meets anger with empathy. She meets hate with empathy. She’ll take the time to imagine what happened to a person when they were five or six years old. And she’s made me a more empathetic person. I had a very fractured relationship with my father. Before he died, she made me remember things I didn’t want to remember. She made me remember the good times."

“They have such a solid relationship,” an insider told Us of Lively and Reynolds in August 2018. “They truly couldn’t be happier and more in love.”

April 2019 — Lively joked about getting it on with her husband’s Detective Pikachu character, Pikachu. “Is it wrong to say I’d tap that?” she captioned a mock audition video he posted on Instagram on April 10, 2019.

The Shallows star joked that she conceived baby No. 4 after watching a clip from her love’s 2010 movie Buried, which became available on Hulu in July 2020. In the clip, the Canadian actor drinks from a flask with “Aviation Gin” written on it and guzzles it down before a light shows even more gin next to him. “10 years later, it really holds up! Although I don’t recall the aggressive product placement. #Buried,” Reynolds wrote via Instagram.
Lively was quick to comment, writing, “I think this just got me pregnant,” to which the father of three replied, “@blakelively I will be out of the office starting July 22nd throughout the middle or forever and ever. If you need immediate assistance during my absence, please contact someone. Anyone. Otherwise I will respond to your message as soon as possible upon my unlikely return. Thank you.”

August 2020 — Swift sparked speculation that Lively and Reynolds named their third child Betty after her song, “Betty” dropped in July 2020. In the track, the artist references the couple’s oldest daughters James and Inez in addition to Betty. A month later, Swift confirmed in a radio interview that she “named all the characters in this story after my friends’ kids” and added, “I hope you like it!”

November 2020 — “I love being a girl dad,” Reynolds told Access. “I have three daughters, which I never in a million years would have imagined.” The Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place alum noted that he and Lively try to be “as present as possible” while raising their girls.

April 2021 — The couple attended a New York Yankees game without their little ones, which they documented on social media. Both actors received new baseball caps that were signed by outfielder Clint Frazier while at the stadium. “Mom&Dad Girl Summer,” Lively wrote via Instagram alongside a series of photos from the night out. “Thanks @clintfrazierr for being my personal stylist. This hat is a vast improvement from the 💩 I showed up in. After 14 years in NY, I think tonight made me an official Yankee...⚾️🍎.”

June 2021 — Reynolds showed his wife support via social media after news broke of her dad, Ernie Lively’s death.

July 2021 — The 6 Underground actor gave fans insight into the early days of his romance with Lively during an appearance on the “SmartLess” podcast. “We were friends and buddies, and about a year and a half later, we actually went out on a double date.

I was going to Boston and I said, ‘I’ll ride with you.’ … I was just begging her to sleep with me.”
The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard star called their relationship something “out of a fairy tale,” noting things moved quickly between them. “A week later I was like, ‘We should buy a house together.’ And we did,” he continued. “We’ve been together almost 10 years. That’s, like, 45 years in Hollywood terms.”

August 2021 — Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Reynolds and Lively walked the red carpet together for the first time in two years at the New York premiere of his film Free Guy.

The Most Romantic Movies That Will Make You Cry: 'Ghost' and More

The Most Romantic Movies That Will Make You Cry Ghost The Last Song and More 361 Lead — Cover Images ; Touchstone Pictures and Offspring Entertainment

Everyone needs a good cry from time to time, and several romance movies will do just the trick.

Some of the most tear-jerking films in recent years have one thing in common. The Notebook, Dear John, The Last Song and A Walk to Remember, to name a few, are all adaptations of Nicholas Sparks books. While Sparks has a talent for making readers and viewers cry, he is a much tougher nut to crack.

“It is tough to make me cry,” the author told The Charlotte Observer in February 2013. He went on to note, “By the time I get to see the film, look, I’ve seen dailies, I’ve seen the script, there’s no surprise, I don’t get that magical feeling of discovering a story. Plus, I wrote the story in the first place.”

While Sparks doesn’t get emotional revisiting his old work, he enjoys seeing others connect to his stories. “Apologies for making you cry for decades!” he jokingly wrote via Facebook in April 2024. “I can’t believe it’s been 30 years since I wrote #TheNotebook! I wrote the ending first, and once I knew I could make that work, I wrote the reunion, the prologue and then the rest of the novel.”

30 of the Most Romantic Movies of All Time: 'The Notebook' and More

At the time, he noted that the Broadway musical adaptation of his 1996 novel and the 2004 film version handed out “special tissues” for emotional theatergoers.

Scroll down for romantic movie recommendations that will make you shed a tear:

‘The Notebook’

The 2004 adaptation of Sparks’ novel of the same name ensured that romantics everywhere gained a newfound appreciation for making out in the rain. As World War II–era star-crossed lovers, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams offer emotional performances, which may have been helped by the fact that their real-life relationship was fiery from the start: Gosling tried to order McAdams off the set, but the two began dating after the shoot was finished, ultimately parting ways in 2007.

‘Titanic’

Our hearts could not go on after watching this 1997 heartbreaker about Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet), who fall in love while aboard the doomed ship. Of course, they didn’t make it in the long run since that wooden panel would only support the weight of one person when the ship went down (though the show Mythbusters disagrees with this logic). The real-life actors remain friends, however, and costarred again in 2008’s Revolutionary Road.

‘Dear John’

Sparks can always be relied upon for inspiring a cathartic sob session. This adaptation of his 2006 novel of the same name follows John (Channing Tatum) and Savannah (Amanda Seyfried), a couple who keep their love alive through letters while John serves in the military post–9/11. She ends up dumping him in one of her notes — harsh — but as with any good romance, that’s not the end of the story.

‘Love Story’

If you haven’t heard of it, ask your mom about this 1970 film. No doubt she can rattle off the famous tagline: “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” Oliver (Ryan O’Neal) and Jennifer (Ali MacGraw) meet as students at Harvard University and Radcliffe College, respectively. Once they marry and try to conceive, they discover the tragic reason why they can’t have kids. We won’t spoil it for you — just grab the tissues and prepare to bawl.

‘Ghost’

Everyone knows the famous pottery wheel scene that’s been spoofed a million times over, but this 1990 film about a woman (Demi Moore) who’s followed by the poltergeist of her murdered lover (Patrick Swayze) is an especially devastating meditation on grieving. Just check out the scene where the ghost, via a medium played by Whoopi Goldberg, offers his love a penny for good luck.

‘Brokeback Mountain’

The tender performances of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, who play two cowboys fighting their love for each other in the conservative 1960s and ’70s Midwest, earned both actors Oscar nominations (Ledger for best actor and Gyllenhaal for best supporting actor) in 2006.

‘The Way We Were’

Opposites attract, but can they make it work long-term? That’s the dilemma for strident political activist Katie (Barbra Streisand) and charming, lackadaisical screenwriter Hubbell (Robert Redford) in this 1973 drama. Though initially drawn to each other’s differences, the couple’s dynamic threatens to tear them apart as they marry and have a daughter. In the end, all that’s left is Streisand’s title song, which many a brokenhearted soul has bawled over.

‘The Last Song’

While the love story of this Sparks book-to-movie adaptation centers around Miley Cyrus’ Veronica “Ronnie” Miller and Liam Hemsworth’s Will Blakelee, the emotional center of the film lies with Ronnie’s relationship with her father, Steve (Greg Kinnear). Ronnie falls for Will while spending the summer in Georgia with her dad, who she doesn’t know is secretly battling cancer (bet you can guess what happens next).

‘A Star Is Born’

There have been several versions of A Star Is Born over the years, but none have such an emotional punch as the 2018 version starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. After musician Jackson Maine (Cooper) falls in love with aspiring singer-songwriter Ally Campana (Gaga), the pair’s relationship faces ups and downs as Ally’s star begins to rise. On top of it all, Jack is forced to deal with his own internal demons, which ultimately lead to a tragic end for the couple.

‘A Walk to Remember’

In one of the most famous Sparks adaptations, popular guy in school Landon Carter (Shane West) catches feelings for the quiet and conservative Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) while being forced to participate in their high school play — going against Jamie’s request for him not to fall in love with her. Landon eventually comes to learn the reason behind Jamie’s rule, as she reveals that she has leukemia. The 2002 movie follows the couple’s romance as Landon vows to stay by Jamie’s side until the end.

Several romantic movies have continued to pull on fans’ heartstrings — and not just on Valentine’s Day.

The Notebook, for example, has become a classic watch for those looking to shed a happy tear. The 2004 movie adaptation of the beloved Nicholas Sparks novel follows the love story of Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams) from their first meeting in the 1940s to their final days together.

While the movie turned Gosling into a Hollywood heartthrob, the actor previously revealed he wasn’t cast with that status in mind. “[Director Nick Cassavetes] straight up told me, ‘The fact that you have no natural leading man qualities is why I want you to be my leading man,’” Gosling revealed in a May 2023 interview with GQ.

The film quickly became known for its iconic rain kiss scene. According to McAdams, however, the scene wasn’t as glamorous to shoot as it looked on screen. “It didn’t rain when we needed it to,” she told Good Morning America in April 2024. “They had to pump rain from the bottom of the lake through fire hoses and then pelt us with it.”

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s romance has endured plenty of ups and downs over the years — but they’ve weathered the storms together.

The couple, who went public with their relationship in January 2007, briefly split in February 2011. They reconnected in July of that year and tied the knot in October 2012.

Us Weekly broke the news in November 2014 that the 7th Heaven alum and former ‘NSync singer were expecting their first child together. In April 2015, the duo welcomed their son Silas and second son Phineas followed five years later.

The pair’s relationship was tested in November 2019 when photos surfaced of Timberlake holding hands with his Palmer costar Alisha Wainwright. The musician publicly apologized for a “strong lapse in judgment” and privately worked to make it up to Biel.

“He’s bending over backwards to get Jessica to forgive him,” a source exclusively told Us in February 2020. “And to make sure he’s there for her.”

Scroll down to relive Timberlake and Biel’s ups and downs over the years.

August 2007 — Timberlake and Biel first took their relationship public in January 2007, shortly after the singer split from actress Cameron Diaz. "She's the perfect girl for him," a Timberlake pal told Us after the two first began dating. "It grew from friendship to full-on romance. Now they're serious and monogamous."

April 2009 — Amidst split rumors, the two went on a PDA parade at the L.A. Lakers home game. After Dustin Hoffman made the crowd go wild by smooching his wife on the Lakers' Kiss Me Cam, Timberlake had to outdo the actor: "So I mounted my girlfriend in front of 18,000 people."

May 2009 — One month later, the hot Hollywood couple attended the Met Costume Institute Gala in NYC. "I just love it!" Biel told Us of her red-hot Versace gown. Timberlake looked handsome in a William Rast tux.

August 2009 — Several months earlier, the lovebirds relocated to a new loft in NYC's Tribeca neighborhood. "The apartment is great. He is loving it," his mom, Lynn Harless, told Us.

May 2010 — Hours before seeing the Broadway show In the Heights, the pair strolled in NYC's West Village. "Jessica loves how funny he is," a source once told Us. "Plus, let's face it: Justin is gorgeous."

February 2011 — One month after cuddling at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in West Hollywood, their reps confirmed their split to Us. "They mutually have decided to part ways. The two remain friends and continue to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other."

October 2012 — Marriage bliss! After a 10-month engagement, Timberlake and Biel said "I do" in southern Italy in October. That same month, they shared a rare public kiss while attending Variety's 4th Annual Power of Women Event in Beverly Hills.

September 2013 — A smooch in the stands! Biel snuggled up to her beau as the pair attended a match between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at the U.S. Open in NYC. "It's nice to marry your best friend. It suits me," Timberlake told Ellen DeGeneres a few months earlier in April.

March 2014 — Hanky-panky! The Blunderer actress couldn't keep her hands off the "Mirror" singer following her birthday trip to Barbados. "Justin wasn't very good at wakeboarding. Jessica was much better!" an onlooker told Us. "They looked madly in love as they joked around."

Biel gushed about her husband on Good Morning America in September 2015, saying, “He supports everything that I do, and that’s, I think, why he’s a wonderful partner.” The following month, Timberlake returned the praise as he was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, calling Biel his rock. “Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write,” he added.

October 2016 — TMI alert! When Extra’s Mario Lopez asked Timberlake if he and his wife were thinking about working on giving Silas a little brother or sister, the singer replied, “I’m having a lot of fun practicing.”

July 2017 — In a cover story for Marie Claire, the actress explained why her and Timberlake’s marriage works so well: “We have similar values; we believe in loyalty, honesty. We like to have fun. We like a lot of the same things. Also, in the business, we’re all very career-oriented, and you have to be a little selfish. I understand that about my peers — about being focused and driven — and if you can find that and someone who shares the same values as you, it’s like: Score!”

A source exclusively told Us in July 2018 that Biel and Timberlake’s marriage was rock-solid. “Justin and Jessica are really in love, and their marriage is so strong right now,” the insider said. “Even with Silas, they still make their relationship with each other a major priority and have fun with each other.”

Happy birthday to the man of my blue ocean dreams. I love you.”

A source told Us exclusively that despite the pictures that surfaced, the two are “just friends.” The images caused fans to think Timberlake’s marriage to Biel was on rocky terrain since he didn’t appear to be wearing his wedding ring at the time.

A month after PDA-filled photos surfaced of Timberlake and his Palmer costar, the musician issued a public apology to his wife and his fans. “A few weeks ago, I displayed a strong lapse in judgment — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my costar,” Timberlake wrote in a statement posted on Instagram in December 2019. “I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son.”
The Grammy winner added: “I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that.”

The couple were spotted having dinner at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles in January 2020, two months after Timberlake’s PDA scandal. “Jessica and Justin kept to themselves and other restaurant-goers left them alone,” a source told Us at the time. “Justin had his attention focused on Jessica and after they had dinner they left together.” The pair enjoyed a staycation at the hotel with their son, a second source confirmed to Us.

The couple attended the season 3 premiere of The Sinner in West Hollywood in February 2020. “They happily posed with their arms behind each other’s backs,” an eyewitness told Us of the event, noting Biel arrived solo but was later joined by Timberlake.

The Friends With Benefits actor threw his wife a pajama-themed party for her 38th birthday at their L.A. home amid the coronavirus pandemic. “Justin was dancing and making everyone laugh and doting on Jessica,” a source told Us in March 2020. “He really made the night all about making her happy.” The birthday girl thanked Timberlake for the bash on social media, writing, “Thank you, you wonderful human, for really listening to me, and for throwing my kinda party. And thank YOU ALL for the birthday wishes. Feeling the love.”

January 2021 — Timberlake confirmed during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that he and Biel welcomed son Phineas in 2020. He joked that the pair “don’t see each other anymore” after expanding their family. “It’s a lot of fun but I guess the saying goes, ‘Go from a zone defense to a man-to-man very quickly,’” he quipped. “‘You go get that one, I’ll get this one.’”

March 2021 — Timberlake shared a sweet tribute for Biel on her 39th birthday that included multiple photos of the couple through the years. “Happy Birthday to my favorite person in the world,” the singer wrote via Instagram. “The strongest, funniest, best, brightest and most beautiful mom/partner/BOSS there is. I’m lucky to learn from you and laugh with you and celebrate you every day. But, today we do it with 🎂!!!! Here’s to more slow-mos in the wind, jumping into bushes to save our kid’s toys, and timing out jump pics perfectly... I ❤️ U with all that I know.”

September 2021 — Timberlake shared a rare photo of he and his wife at dinner via Instagram. The pair seemed to be enjoying a romantic dinner in the selfie.

January 2022 — Biel marked Timberlake’s 41st birthday by posting a photo of the pair on the beach in neon outfits. “Happy birthday, '80s baby,” she wrote via Instagram.

April 2022 — Months before celebrating 10 years of marriage, Biel gushed over her relationship with the pop star. "I sometimes feel like 10 years has just flown by in the blink of an eye and other times I feel like, 'Oh, my gosh, 10 years, that's a really substantial amount of someone's life,'" she Access Hollywood. "I just feel really proud of it. ... We've had our ups and downs like everybody and I'm just really proud of it, and I'm still the happiest and loving my life."

January 2023 — Biel took to social media to celebrate her hubby turning 42.
"Happy birthday to the person who challenges and inspires me every day. The person who keeps me laughing and creating and risking it all," she wrote via Instagram alongside a carousel of images of the twosome enjoying a day on a boat. "The person who makes the ordinary extraordinary. You know who you are. I love you 🫶.”

January 2024 — “POV: Trying to get anything done the past 24 hours,” Biel wrote via TikTok alongside a video of her brushing her teeth, doing some casual yoga and lip-syncing to the camera while listening to Timberlake’s new song, “Selfish.” “ON 👏🏻 REPEAT 👏🏻@Justin Timberlake,” Biel captioned the video.
Days later, Biel shared a video montage via Instagram of her life with Timberlake in honor of his 43rd birthday. “I ALWAYS got you,” she captioned the clip, which was set to Boom Forrest’s rendition of “I Got You Babe.” She added, “Happy birthday, babe.”

February 2024 — In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Timberlake penned a heartfelt note to his wife.
“Love at first sight isn’t limited to the first time you lay eyes on your person,” he wrote via Instagram. “You make me believe that because every time I look at you, I fall in love bigger and better than I ever could have imagined. Every day I get to share with you reminds me how lucky I am to experience love without limits or conditions. You make me laugh like a child and love with a fierceness that takes me aback.”

“It’s a family affair y’all,” she wrote via Instagram with photos from life on the road.

June 2024 — While celebrating Father’s Day weekend, Biel took a moment to share just how great of a father Timberlake is.
“You’re so many things to so many people. But to us you are THE ROCK,” she wrote via Instagram. “The rock we climb on, we lean against. The rock that shades us from the sun. And when we recline on you, as we always do, hopefully our butts will keep you eternally grounded and warm. We LOVE YOU 🪨❤️.”

Doja! Miley! Most Daring Grammys Beauty Looks Over the Years

Over the years, stars have left their mark on the Grammys red carpet with their over-the-top beauty looks.

Lady Gaga made a name for herself by wearing some outrageous ensembles to high-profile events. The singer turned heads when she arrived at the 64th Grammy Awards wearing a one-shoulder black and white gown by Armani Privé. The look featured a sweeping white train and open back — which she completed with an updo that showed off her jewelry by Tiffany & Co.

Gaga’s stunning appearance at the awards show came after she previously paid tribute to David Bowie‘s Life on Mars music video with bold blood orange hair and fierce eye makeup. For the New York native, the late musician “changed” her life with his music.

“Well, the moment that I saw the Aladdin Sane cover for the first time, I was 19 years old, and it just changed my perspective on everything, forever,” she said on NPR in 2016, shortly after her Grammys appearance. “It was an image that changed my life.”

She added: “That was just the beginning of my artistic birth. I started to dress more expressively. I started to go to the library and look through more art books. I took an art history class. I was playing with a band.”

Another star who isn’t afraid to be the talk of the night is Doja Cat, who covered herself in tattoos at the 2024 Grammys. The rapper added even more funk to her look with super arched razor thin brows and a bold red lip.

Doja Cat in 2024 — Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas and hairstylist Jared Henderson created an edgy look on the singer, who donned razor thin eyebrows, a bold red lip and smokey eyeshadow. Her hair was dyed platinum blonde hair and styled in a neat pixie cut. Doja also made a statement with her faux tattoos, which covered her arms, chest and face.

I watch reality TV or I read some dumb articles or try not to focus and hyperfocus on something.”
As a dutiful member of Bachelor Nation, the actress tuned in for Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia’s joint season.
“This whole season to me was a little wonky because it was one of these weird things where you didn't even have time to invest in anybody's relationship because they were showcasing two separate people falling madly in love,” Kunis said during an appearance on Sirius XM’s “The Jess Cagle Show” later that September. “And you're, like normally within the span of a season, you watch the people fall in love and you are invested.

Jessica Simpson’s Love Life: Nick Lachey, John Mayer, Eric Johnson and More

Us Weekly News

By: Us Weekly Staff

14 January 2025 at 04:42

Jessica Simpson‘s relationships have made headlines through the years, from brief flings, marriages and more.

The “Take My Breath Away” singer notably began dating Nick Lachey in 1999. After an on-and-off romance, they went on to tie the knot in October 2002 and subsequently landed their own Newlyweds reality TV show. After nearly four years of marriage, they ultimately called it quits.

“It breaks my heart that I couldn’t make Jessica happy. I wanted to be everything to my wife,” Lachey — who later married Vanessa Lachey (née Minnillo) in July 2011 — recalled to Rolling Stone in April 2006. “I wanted her to look at me with love in her eyes, the way she did at the beginning, and have her feel like I was the most wonderful, awe-inspiring man on the planet. And when that stopped, it was the worst feeling in the world.”

The Texas native has been equally candid about their short-lived marriage, even calling Nick her “first love” in her Open Book memoir.

“Nick loved the fact I was so strong in my faith and that I had this wide-eyed innocent approach to life. When he proposed in 2002, I said yes,” Simpson wrote in the book, which was published in 2020. “We were young and pioneering our way through reality television, always mic’ed and always on. We worked and we were great at it but when it came time to being alone, we weren’t great at it anymore.”

She added at the time: “I was 22, and I had just pledged my life and destiny of this man. And I don’t regret it. Nick was meant to be my husband. No one else was supposed to have my virginity.”

After their divorce was finalized in 2006, the Employee of the Month actress dated the likes of John Mayer, Tony Romo and Billy Corgan. Simpson went on to meet former football player Eric Johnson in 2010, who proposed six months later that November.

Simpson and the NFL alum — who share daughters Maxwell, born in 2012, and Birdie, born in 2019, and son Ace, born in 2013 — wed in July 2014. In January 2025, Simpson announced the duo’s separation after 10 years of marriage.

Scroll below to see Simpson’s complete dating history through the years:

Jensen Ackles — The singer dated the Supernatural actor in the late '90s around the time she became a household name with her debut album Sweet Kisses. It was rumored that Simpson was speaking of the hunk when she later recalled her "first heartbreak" on an episode of MTV's Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica years later.

Nick Lachey — The twosome began dating in 1999, married in October 2002 and starred in three seasons of MTV's Newlyweds. But after divorcing Lachey in June 2006, Simpson had only fond memories of the experience. "I believe it did not affect our marriage. Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish," she told Vanity Fair in 2009.

Adam Levine — Simpson was rumored to have hooked up with the Maroon 5 frontman in 2004, while she was still married to Lachey. That January, the two reportedly spent the night at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont together. Simpson was seen wearing his T-shirt as pal CaCee Cobb picked her up the next morning.

Bam Margera — The famous prankster said he and Simpson did the deed during a chat on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show in September 2006. "We were just drinking margaritas and stuff, and you know, from there," he said. "It was when her parents were away and Nick was away," he claimed. "It's not a secret."

Johnny Knoxville — Simpson was accused of cheating on Lachey with her Dukes of Hazzard costar in 2006.
While both Simpson and Knoxville denied allegations that they had an inappropriate relationship at the time, the singer detailed their alleged emotional affair in her 2020 memoir, Open Book.
“I felt a force drawing us together,” Simpson wrote about Knoxville, who was married to his first wife, Melanie Lynn Clapp, at the time. “To me, an emotional affair was worse than a physical one. It’s funny, I know, because I had placed such an emphasis on sex by not having it before marriage. After I actually had sex, I understood that the emotional part was what mattered. And Johnny and I had that.”
She added that the twosome wrote “love letters” to each other. “It’s like Johnny and I were prison pen pals, two people who wanted too much to be with each other but were kept apart — by bars, by our stars, by our respective spouses,” Simpson wrote.
Knoxville has yet to publicly react to Simpson’s book claims.

Tony Romo — The NFL Dallas Cowboys player ended their relationship the night before Simpson's 29th birthday in July 2009 after nearly two years of dating. "It's been a long time coming," a pal of Romo's told Us. "They go from one fight right into another, without a second break," another added. "It's always something with Jessica."

Billy Corgan — Though the two were first spotted together in NYC in December 2009, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman played coy about the nature of their brief courtship. "The stuff that I've seen doesn't have any bearing to the reality that I'm in," he said to the Chicago Tribune in 2010. "It's like being in a cartoon. It has nothing to do with what's really going on or how I feel."

Jeremy Renner — Their short-lived spring fling came to an abrupt halt when the Hurt Locker star simply stopped calling the singer in 2010. Afterward, a source said a confused Simpson "showed up at his house one day" — and came to face-to-face with another woman! He was a "dirtbag," an insider told Us.

Eric Johnson — Simpson and the former NFL player began dating in May 2010 and got engaged six months later, ultimately tying the knot in July 2014. The couple welcomed daughter Maxwell in May 2012, son Ace in June 2013 and daughter Birdie in March 2019.
In January 2025, Simpson announced their separation after 10 years of marriage. “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” she told Us in a statement. “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

Justin Timberlake — Simpson revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in January 2020 that the “Suit & Tie” singer once kissed her on a bet from former All-New Micky Mouse Club costar Ryan Gosling. “After [my] divorce and he was out of a relationship, he was, like, over at my house, and we shared a nostalgic kiss,” she recalled. “Apparently, him and Ryan Gosling had a bet on who would kiss me first when they were 12 years old, so he texted Ryan and said he won the bet. And I was like, ‘Oh, OK, um, so we don’t kiss again? That’s done.’”

Hollywood is full of power couples such as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, but there are also plenty of stars who found love outside the spotlight.

Some of the industry’s longest-standing twosomes met before achieving life-changing fame, such as Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman, who met in college, or childhood sweethearts Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley.

Others — including Christina Aguilera and Matthew Rutler, Julia Stiles and Preston J. Cook, and Jimmy Kimmel and wife Molly McNearney — met on the job.

Scroll through to find out which other stars have found love with non-famous people:

Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene — The “Born to Die” singer married the alligator tour guide in September 2024, according to photos and videos published by The Daily Mail.
The couple were first linked one month prior to their nuptials, but Del Rey shared photos of herself and Dufrene via Facebook as early as 2019.

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon — Pitt and de Ramon, a jewelry designer, were first linked in November 2022 following de Ramon's divorce from Vampire Diaries alum Paul Wesley. One year later, a source exclusively told Us that Pitt and de Ramon were "in love" — and that marriage might be on the table.
"Brad and Ines have an easygoing [relationship]," a second source revealed in November 2023. "They don't stress each other out."

Riz Ahmed and Fatima Farheen Mirza — The actor, known for his work in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Sound of Metal, met Mirza by chance when sitting at the same table at an NYC cafe. Ahmed revealed in January 2021 that he and the novelist tied the knot.

Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant — News broke in November 2019 that the actor and the artist are an item. However, a source exclusively told Us at the time that they had “been dating for years,” noting: “It wasn’t a secret.”
In March 2020, another source told Us, “Keanu and Alexandra are head over heels for each other. They fit together perfectly, and he really fawns over her when they’re together.”

Jon Stewart and Tracey McShane — Stewart met then–veterinary technician McShane on a blind date at a Mexican restaurant in 1996. In February 1999, Stewart proposed to McShane through The New York Times using clues specific to the couple. The pair wed in 2000 and went on to welcome son Nathan in 2004 and daughter Maggie in 2006.

Jerry Seinfeld and Jessica Sklar — Soon after meeting the comedian in August 1998, Sklar ended her marriage and became engaged to Seinfeld. They wed one year later, after he proposed at Soho’s Balthazar.

Vince Vaughn and Kyla Weber — Vaughn’s movie-producer friend reportedly introduced him to Weber at a wedding in 2008. According to Vaughn, they started their relationship by exchanging emails and phone calls, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
"I met the best girl in the world. It gives you such a great purpose in your life. If I would've met her, I would've done it a long time ago so I'm very, very happy," the actor said in 2011 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

George Clooney and Amal Clooney — Clooney fell in love with the human rights lawyer when a mutual friend brought her by his Lake Como home. After getting married in Venice in 2014, the couple welcomed twins, Ella and Alexander, in 2017.

Kevin Jonas and Danielle Jonas — The former hairdresser had no idea what she was in for when she met the Grammy nominee in 2007, just as the Jonas Brothers were becoming household names. The New Jersey natives tied the knot in December 2009 and went on to welcome two daughters: Alena in February 2014 and Valentina in October 2016.

Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry — "He was so charming and charismatic," Sperry told Vogue of the night she was introduced to her now-husband. "I adored him from the first moment we met." The pair, who have kept a low profile since exchanging vows in September 2019, bonded over their shared love of travel and music.

Jimmy Fallon and Nancy Juvonen — Though Juvonen’s isn’t a household name, she’s been on the Hollywood scene for some time as a film producer for Flower Films, which she co-owns with Drew Barrymore. In fact, it was on the set of the company’s Fever Pitch film, which starred Fallon and Barrymore, that she met the late-night talk-show host.

Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn — The “Shape of You” singer may be one of the biggest artists in the world, but his wife, Seaborn, has a much-less glamorous title as an “advisory consultant.” Though the couple, who met as teenagers, didn’t date as kids, only reconnecting in New York City in 2015, their hometown connection proved strong: Sheeran confirmed his marriage in 2019’s “Remember the Name.”
The pair welcomed daughter Lyra in August 2020 and announced their second daughter's birth in May 2022.

Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer — Schumer’s now-husband had his own claim to culinary fame as one of Massachusetts’ top chefs ahead of his marriage to the comedian, but his star rose exponentially once the pair tied the knot in February 2019. The couple, who were introduced by Fischer’s sister Molly Fischer, a.k.a. Schumer’s assistant, share son Gene, who was born in May 2019.

Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney — McNearney was a writer’s assistant on Jimmy Kimmel Live when she fell for the host — and vice versa. She told Glamour in February 2014 that though Kimmel initially insulted her upon meeting, calling her penchant for triathalons “really stupid,” his mastery of the kitchen won her over. “We really liked each other as friends, and then it just kind of turned. He cooked for me, and that was it,” she joked. “It sealed the deal.”

Julia Stiles and Preston J. Cook — Cook not only landed the job of a camera assistant on the set of 2015’s Go With Me, but a future spouse in leading lady Stiles. The couple got engaged in December 2015 and exchanged vows nearly two years later, while the actress was pregnant with the couple’s first child, Strummer.
After giving birth to their son in October 2017, Stiles later welcomed son Arlo in January 2022, and a third baby, whose name and sex haven’t been shared, in late 2023.

Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley — The Bon Jovi frontman may have “seen a lot of faces,” but it was Hurley’s that made the biggest impression: The twosome were high-school sweethearts in Sayreville, New Jersey! They tied the knot in April 1989 and haven’t looked back since. The couple share four kids.

Jennifer Garner and John Miller — Us Weekly exclusively revealed in October 2018 that the Peppermint star was dating the businessman. “They’ve been together six months — and it’s getting pretty serious,” a source told Us of the new couple at the time. The lovebirds were reportedly introduced by mutual friends.

Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney — The Oscar winner had tongues wagging over her new mystery man when she stepped out with the New York City art dealer in June 2018 after being introduced by Lawrence’s BFF Laura Simpson. Seven months later, they got engaged.
Following their 2019 nuptials, Lawrence and Maroney welcomed their first child in February 2022.

Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe — The British star didn’t let his star status stand in the way of his relationship with the financial publicist, whom he began dating in 2012 and married in 2014. "They have a very relaxed and supportive relationship,” an insider told Us of the couple in December 2014. “They seemed to have always known they were going to spend the rest of their lives together.” The couple share two kids.

Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutler — The “Genie in a Bottle” singer was swept off her feet by the production assistant while working together on the set of 2010’s Burlesque.

Patrick Dempsey and Jillian Fink — The pair first met at a hair salon where Fink worked in 1994. Though they’ve had their ups and downs, filing for divorce in January 2015, they worked it out, calling the legal request off in November 2016. They share daughter Tallula and twins Darby and Sullivan.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tasha McCauley — Gordon-Levitt hinted to Howard Stern in 2013 that he and McCauley, with whom he shares two kids, met through mutual friends. "I have a girlfriend but I tend not to really like to talk about it in public," the 500 Days of Summer actor said at the time. "She is not in show business." He wed the Robotics CEO one year later in December 2014.

Brendon Urie and Sarah Orzechowski — Orzechowski, who has been married to Urie since 2013, proved dreams do come true when she made a big impression on the Panic! at the Disco singer at one of his shows. He told fans in a Reddit AMA in 2014: “I met Sarah while touring for Pretty. Odd. She was dating someone else at the time, but I couldn’t get her out of my mind. By some good fortune and some help from mutual friends, we met up again 8 months later when she happened to be single.”

Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman — The Hunger Games star admitted to Allure in May 2015 that she didn’t expect to marry sports writer Handelman when she first hooked up with him as a teenager. Their love went the distance, however: They got married in 2003 and welcomed kids Felix and Magnus in 2011 and 2012, respectively. “Really, what happened was I’ve never met anyone that I liked more,” she said. “In the early years, did I have crushes or little interests here and there? I know my husband did, and so did I, but we stayed together.”

Julianna Margulies and Keith Lieberthal — Good husband! The Good Wife actress married the New York-based lawyer in November 2007 and welcomed son Kieran in January 2008. The family reside in Manhattan, where the ER alum filmed her CBS drama. "I met my husband at a dinner party that I wasn't going to go," Margulies said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in February 2011. "I feel bad because people objectify him and they're like, 'Oh, your husband is so hot.' The truth is, he is unbelievably bright and smart and went to Harvard Law."

Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro — Undergaro, who said his “I dos” to the former E! co-anchor in a live, on-air ceremony on New Year’s Eve in 2017, was by Menounos’ side long before her rise to fame — she told Yahoo in December 2018 that “it was love at first sight” when she met her man as a 19-year-old college student. Two decades later, they got engaged.
The pair exchanged vows in 2017 and again one year later.

"That's how much he supported me from the very, very beginning." She joked in her speech: "I read an article that said that winning an Oscar could lead to living five years longer. If that's true, I'd really like to thank the Academy because my husband is younger than me."

Paul Rudd and Julie Yaeger — Yaeger was working as a publicist in New York City when the Ant-Man star, who was a client of her coworker’s and a transplant to the Big Apple, walked in.

Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso — Barroso opened up about her fateful meeting with the Martian star to Vogue Australia in May 2018. “I was working as a bartender in South Beach [Miami] and he was shooting a movie there and the crew ended up in the bar one Saturday night,” she said. “So I put him to work with me! … He had trained as a bartender for a film years before, so he started making drinks.

So it turned into a really fun night and then 15 years later here we are!” Damon and Barroso share four daughters.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren — The duo met when Warren was a production assistant on the actress' 2005 film Fantastic Four.

Golden Globes' Most Memorable Moments

Us Weekly News

From tears to laughter to full-on cringes, the Golden Globes has always served up plenty of memorable moments.

Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield stole the spotlight when they both lost an award to Ryan Gosling during the 2017 ceremony and immediately embraced in a passionate kiss.

“I just wanted Ryan to know that I loved him no matter whether he won or lost,” Garfield said days later while on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. “It doesn’t matter, it’s how you play the game. He showed up, he gave his all. It doesn’t change anything in my heart.”

In December 2021, Garfield reflected on the surprise smooch. “It was a really fun moment. I said to him, ‘If you win, kiss me instead of Blake [Lively], your wife, because Blake was on the other side.’ He was like, ‘Amazing, let’s do it,'” Garfield recalled during Wired’s auto-complete interview video series.

Not every joke is memorable for the laughter, however. Seth Rogen made audiences cringe when he presented an award alongside Kate Beckinsale in 2011 and said, “Hello, I’m Seth Rogen, and I am currently trying to conceal a massive erection.” Beckinsale chuckled uncomfortably. “How nice,” she replied.

Scroll down for more of the most memorable moments from the Golden Globes throughout the years:

The Year of the Rat Pack — When the Golden Globes first started in 1944, the trophies were presented exclusively by journalists. Then, in 1958, during the first-ever telecast of the awards, Rat Packers Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis Jr. stormed the stage -- whiskeys in hand -- and hijacked the show. Much to the delight of their fellow attendees, the trio were invited back for a repeat performance in 1959.

Thank U, Next? — Oliver Stone’s 1979 best screenplay acceptance speech for Midnight Express turned into a rant about the United States’ drug policy. Though host Chevy Chase requested for Stone to “just say ‘thank you’ and leave the stage” and the audience began to boo him, he continued to make his point. Security guards ultimately escorted him off the stage.

Bette’s Other Globes — After her double win at the 1980 Golden Globes -- for Best Actress in The Rose and Best New Female Star -- Bette Midler drew the audience&apos;s attention to two other trophies: her breasts! "I&apos;m reminded of when Joan Crawford actually won her Golden Globe and she said...&apos;I&apos;ll show you a pair of Golden Globes,&apos;" Midler joked, pretending to grope herself. Covering her face in embarrassment after, she said, "Excuse me, I&apos;m sorry. I&apos;m different now. I&apos;m a good girl!"

Potty Humor — Accepting the Best Supporting Actor award for 12 Monkeys in 1996, Brad Pitt started off his speech not by thanking his director, co-stars, or then-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow but by acknowledging "the makers of Kaopectate," a medication that treats indigestion and diarrhea. "I have a nervous stomach, and it works," the A-lister explained later. "I&apos;ll be expecting those calls from Kaopectate any minute now."

Bathroom Break! — Chicago Hope star Christine Lahti almost missed her big moment in the spotlight when Michael J. Fox announced her as the 1998 winner of Best Actress in a TV Drama -- while she was in the bathroom! Running onstage to accept the award, she confessed she had been flushing the toilet when her name was called. The next year, when she presented at the show, Lahti stuck a piece of toilet paper to her shoe as a joke.

A Golden Gift — During his tearful acceptance speech for Don King: Only in America in 1998, Best Actor winner Ving Rhames surprised the crowd by giving away his trophy to fellow nominee Jack Lemmon. "I feel that being an artist is about giving," Rhames said as he handed the award to the 12 Angry Men star, "and I&apos;d like to give this to you, Mr. Jack Lemmon." Lemmon accepted, saying, "That is one of the nicest, sweetest moments I&apos;ve ever known in my life."

Ending the Night on a High Note — When Jack Nicholson accepted the Golden Globe in 2003 for best actor in a drama for About Schmidt, he admitted that he “took a Valium” earlier that evening. The medication helps with treating anxiety, muscle spasms and seizures.

Tough Break — When Richard Gere won the Golden Globe in 2003 for his role in Chicago, he initially couldn’t get through his speech without Sharon Stone repeatedly interrupting him.

Fantastic Mr. Foxx — Jamie Foxx&apos;s 2005 acceptance speech for Ray is widely considered one of the most heartfelt speeches in Golden Globes history. "I wish I could take what I&apos;m feeling right now and put it in the water systems...we would all love each other a whole lot more," he began. Later, he fought back tears as he paid tribute to his late grandmother Estelle Talley. "I used to think it was corny when people would say that people were looking down on you," he said. "I didn&apos;t believe it. But I got a feeling."

Luck of the Draw — House actor Hugh Laurie deserves an award just for his creativity during his 2006 acceptance speech for Best Actor in a TV Series. Realizing he had too many people to thank -- 172! -- and too little time in which to do it, the star wrote down all 172 names on little pieces of paper and drew three at random to acknowledge on stage. The lucky few? His script supervisor, hairstylist, and agent.

Borat Scores Big — Staying true to his trademark no-holds-barred-style of comedy, Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen had the audience doubled over with laughter as he described "the dark side of America" -- a.k.a. the private parts of his co-star Ken Davitian, with whom he filmed an infamous nude wrestling scene. The actor also memorably alluded to the many lawsuits that had been leveled against him after the film by thanking "every American who has not sued me so far."

The F-Bomb Heard ‘Round the Press Room — Former Grey's Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington stunned both his cast mates and reporters in the 2007 Golden Globes press room when he used a slur while discussing an alleged incident between himself and fellow Grey's star T.R. Knight, who came out as gay in 2006. "I did not call T.R. a f----t," he said. "Never happened." Responding to Washington's statement, Knight's pal Katherine Heigl said angrily: "I'm going to be really honest right now. [Isaiah] needs to just not speak in public. Period."

The Host With the Most Insults — During his three-year reign as the host of the Golden Globes, British star Ricky Gervais managed to insult or offend nearly everyone in Hollywood. Nothing was off-limits -- he took aim at Mel Gibson's alcoholism, Charlie Sheen's meltdown, Robert Downey Jr.'s rehab stays, and even Salma Hayek's accent. Addressing the comic's acerbic remarks onstage in 2011, Downey Jr. said sarcastically: "Aside from the fact that it's been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I'd say the vibe of the show is pretty good so far."

TMI, Seth! — Taking the stage to present the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture in 2012, Knocked Up star Seth Rogen couldn't contain his excitement. "Hello, I'm Seth Rogen, and I am currently trying to conceal a massive erection," he deadpanned, as his co-presenter, Kate Beckinsale, chuckled uncomfortably. "How nice," she joked.

By George! — Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who hosted the Globes in 2013, 2014 and 2015, repeatedly roasted George Clooney during their tenure. In their final year as hosts, Fey quipped, "George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year. Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, was an adviser to Kofi Annan regarding Syria and was selected to a three-person U.N. commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza Strip. So tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award." One year earlier, she mocked his tendency to date younger women, joking, "Gravity is nominated for best film. It&apos;s the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age."

Giving Her Feet a Break — Dame Emma Thompson kept it real when she arrived onstage at the 2014 Golden Globes to present the award for best screenplay. She carried her Louboutins in one hand and a martini glass in the other. “I just want you to know, this red, it’s my blood,” she said to the audience, looking at the red bottom of her designer heels.

Eyes Up Here! — While presenting with Jennifer Lopez at the 2015 ceremony, Jeremy Renner remarked on her cleavage in her glam Zuhair Murad gown. After he asked her to open the envelope, she noted that she had the nails for it, to which he replied, "You&apos;ve got the globes, too." Lopez laughed it off, but people watching from home were not as amused, with some saying the comment was inappropriate. He later responded to the backlash on Twitter, writing, "A reminder not to take this s--t so serious. Thanks Jennifer -- You&apos;re a gem.x #goldenglobes #hadtosayit #jlo"

Leo’s Face, Though! — Leonardo DiCaprio’s reaction when Lady Gaga bumped into him during the 2016 ceremony immediately went viral. "That's trending, huh?" he later told Entertainment Tonight. "I just didn't know what was passing me. I was like, 'Oh!'"

Bromance Alert! — Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield decided to kiss as Ryan Gosling walked to the stage to accept an award during the 2017 ceremony. Reynolds would later joke that wife Blake Lively — who laughed during their intimate moment — was a better kisser than the Hacksaw Ridge actor.

Giving T. Hanks — After grimacing throughout host Ricky Gervais’ no-holds-barred opening monologue, Tom Hanks charmed the 2020 Golden Globes audience with his emotional Cecil B. DeMille Award acceptance speech. “[I’m] a man [who] is blessed. … Blessed with a family sitting down front like that,” he said, tearing up. “A wife, [Rita Wilson], who is fantastic in every way, who has taught me what love is. Five kids who are braver and stronger and wiser than their old man is, and a loving group of people who have put up with me being away months and months at a time.”

(Almost) 99 and Feelin’ Fine — Jason Sudeikis was in awe of Norman Lear as the legendary TV writer noted that he was “close to 99” while accepting the Carol Burnett Award in 2021. “He’s 99? Wow,” the Ted Lasso star mouthed on camera during the virtual ceremony.

Nikki Glaser’s Digs — Glaser made jabs at several stars during her opening monologue at the 2025 Golden Globes. “So, tonight, we celebrate the best of film and hold space for television,” she said. “Yes, Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch: These are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms. These are some of the incredible movies nominated tonight.”
Glaser also made a comment about Diddy, who was arrested for sex trafficking and more charges in September 2024. (He pleaded not guilty and has denied all allegations.)
“Zendaya is here. Zendaya, you were incredible in Dune [2]. Oh, my God, I woke up for all of your scenes. You were so good,” Glaser said. “And Challengers, girl? It was so good. I mean, that movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card.”
She continued, “Oh, I’m upset too. The afterparty’s not going to be good this year. But, we have to move on. A Stanley Tucci freak-off just doesn’t have the same ring to it. No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.”

The Golden Globes is one of the biggest nights in Hollywood, and it wouldn’t be complete without stars celebrating their wins with their loved ones.

In January 2018, Kevin Bacon and wife Kyra Sedgwick shared a smooch on the red carpet as they kicked off their 30th year of marriage. They’re not the only ones who’ve packed on the PDA over the years.

In January 2020, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban showed that their romance was still red hot while attending the Golden Globes. The country crooner playfully lifted up the Big Little Lies alum, whom he wed in 2006, as they posed for pictures together.

While the 2021 broadcast was done via Zoom amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it didn’t stop couples from sharing intimate moments with viewers. In fact, when Sacha Baron Cohen won his two awards that evening for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, his then-wife, Isla Fisher, gave him a big kiss on camera. (The pair announced their separation in April 2024 after 14 years of marriage.)

Over the years, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has selected the child of a celebrity to carry the torch into awards season and assist with the annual Golden Globe Awards.

The coveted title of Miss and Mr. Golden Globes dates back to 1963 when Donna Douglas and Eva Six shared the honor. The tradition of the role going to a celebrity kid, however, didn’t start until 1971 with Anne Archer, who went on to become a successful actress in her own right.

Being Miss or Mr. Golden Globes — or the Golden Globes Ambassador as it was changed to in 2018 — does include a few in-show responsibilities. Throughout the event, the ambassador assists the presenters in handing out awards and escorting the winners from the stage.

While many stars have held the role over the years, the ambassador program was discontinued in 2021.

Carrie Fisher's Life in Pictures and Memorable Quotes

Us Weekly News

By: Us Weekly Staff

27 December 2024 at 09:32

Carrie Fisher left behind a legacy that friends and fans will never forget following her December 2016 death at the age of 60.

The actress was best known for her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars, which daughter Billie Lourd (whom Fisher shared with ex-husband Bryan Lourd) has consistently been in awe of through the years.

“I wanted to hate [Star Wars] so I could tell her how lame she was,” Billie said during her mother’s posthumous Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in May 2023. “Like any kid, I didn’t want my mom to be hot or cool — she was my mom. But that day, staring at the screen, I realized no one is, or will ever be, as hot or as cool as Princess Leia.”

She continued, “People of all ages from all over the world were dressed up like my mom, the lady who sang me to sleep at night and held me when I was scared. Watching the amount of joy it brought to people when she hugged them … was incredible to witness.”

Billie later joined the Star Wars universe herself, costarring with her mom in 2015’s The Force Awakens and 2017’s The Last Jedi both filmed before Fisher’s death.

Scroll down for more of Fisher’s iconic photos and quotes:

A Star Is Born — Carrie Fisher was born on October 21, 1956, to Hollywood star Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. Her dad scandalized Hollywood when he infamously left her mother for Elizabeth Taylor. Reynolds surprisingly stayed friends with Taylor, who even left her some of her jewelry after her 2011 death.

A Scholar — Fisher, a self-proclaimed bookworm, attended Beverly Hills High School (pictured above in 1972 during her sophomore year) before appearing alongside her mother, Reynolds, in the 1973 Broadway revival Irene.

Wedding Bells — After a brief relationship with Dan Aykroyd, Fisher went on to date and later marry Paul Simon in 1983, but they split up a year later. The musician’s song “Hearts and Bones” is about their relationship.

Three Generations — Fisher welcomed her only child, daughter and Scream Queens actress Billie Lourd, in July 1992. After three years together, Carrie’s ex and Billie’s dad, Bryan Lourd, left her and came out as bisexual, and is now married to Bruce Bozzi.

Her Affair With Harrison Ford — In her memoir The Princess Diarist, Fisher revealed she had an affair with Star Wars costar Harrison Ford. “It was so intense,” she wrote. “It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.”

The actress was open about suffering from bipolar disorder. In her book and show Wishful Drinking, she said that “living with manic depression takes a tremendous amount of balls” and it's “something to be proud of, not ashamed of.”

Never a Dull Moment — The When Harry Met Sally actress, pictured above with Bill Murray on Saturday Night Live, was known for her witty remarks. In her book Wishful Drinking she joked, “I feel I'm very sane about how crazy I am.”

A Jokester — “People are still asking me if I knew Star Wars was going to be that big of a hit,” Fisher once said. “Yes, we all knew. The only one who didn’t know was George [Lucas].” She also once joked that her “life is like a lone, forgotten Q-Tip in the second-to-last drawer.”

Woman’s Best Friend — The actress never went anywhere without her beloved pooch, Gary. The bulldog was even by the star’s side when she suffered a massive heart attack while aboard a flight from London to LAX in December 2016.

Her Final Role — The trailer for Fisher's final film, Wonderwell, was released after several delays. The late actress played Hazel, a mysterious leader from a magical land. She wrapped filming six weeks before her December 2016 death.

Elton John and David Furnish's Relationship Timeline

Sir Elton John and David Furnish have an everlasting love story after connecting right off the bat.

“He was very well dressed, very shy,” the “Rocketman” crooner told Parade in early 2010 of their first meeting in 1993. “We fell in love very quickly. He was independent. I didn’t need to take care of him. I thought, ‘God, this is new territory for me — someone wants to be with me just because he likes me.’”

After spending nearly a dozen years together, the pair made their relationship official in December 2005 shortly after same-sex civil partnerships were declared legal in England.

The twosome — who tied the knot in December 2014 — eventually expanded their family, welcoming sons Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John in 2010 and 2013, respectively.

John — who publicly came out as gay in 1996 — opened up about his journey and meeting the “love of [his] life” in an open letter to Zachary and Elijah.

“Looking back over the past 75 years, there is so much I am proud of, so much I have learned. As you are the two most precious parts of my life, I want to share some of those lessons with you,” the songwriter penned in a Time magazine essay in March 2022. “Being true to myself is what gave me my voice and helped me face my greatest fears. I’ve forged deep friendships, found the love of my life and became your Daddy. Whoever you grow up to be, just be you — fully and completely you.”

Scroll below for the pair’s complete relationship timeline:

1993 — Music superstar John met film director and producer Furnish at a dinner party. "He was very well dressed, very shy," John told Parade in early 2010. "We fell in love very quickly."

2000s — "We've never been jealous," John told Furnish. "We talk about ... things that normally would have frightened me before."

March 2001 — They greeted Prince Charles at a bash.

November 2003 — The pair posed with their dog, Arthur.

February 2005 — The duo met longtime pal and fellow AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor.

August 2008 — John and Furnish kicked back in Saint Tropez.

2009 — How does the couple keep the love alive? "Every Saturday for 16 years, we've sent each other a card," John said at the time. "No matter where we are in the world, to say how much we love each other."

December 2010 — The spouses attended the 9th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation's "An Enduring Vision" benefit in NYC in October, just two months before the Christmas Day birth of son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. Born via surrogate, their little boy weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces.
“For many years we have talked about fulfilling one of our greatest wishes by becoming parents," John exclusively told Us at the time. “And now this wish has been granted to us, we feel so blessed and lucky.”
The following month, John told Us that he “never felt anything” like holding Zachary for the first time, adding, “You’re so awestruck. What can you say? You take it in. The feeling, the joy, the warmth of his body, his breathing. I will never forget that experience ever.”

January 2013 — The pair welcomed son Elijah via surrogate.
“Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable,” the couple gushed to Hello! magazine. “The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way. It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time; we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement."

December 2014 — The pair wed at their Windsor, England, home.

March 2017 — They celebrated John’s 70th birthday with a star-studded bash in Los Angeles.

2018 — The pair stepped out at the Grammy Awards, several weeks after the “Tiny Dancer” performer announced his retirement.

March 2019 — “They know that daddy is famous but … when we are out in the summer and people are taking our photograph or asking for a photograph, they say, ‘Why do they want your photograph?’ And we always say, ‘Because people like my music,’” John told Us and other reporters at the time, while attending his annual Oscars bash with Furnish. “They know what Daddy does, but I never bring Elton home. I try to leave Elton on the stage. They’re quite grounded, as far as that goes. They love their daddy’s music, but they also like a lot of other people’s music.”

March 2024 — Furnish penned a sweet tribute to John via Instagram in honor of his 77th birthday, which falls on March 25. "Happy Birthday to my irrepressible husband @eltonjohn. You are the best father, hardest working artist and musician, bountiful humanitarian, loving partner, and most loyal friend," he captioned a photo of the "Tiny Dancer" singer, adding, "Love you forever."
In response, John commented, "I love you and am so incredibly lucky to have you in my life, thank you for everything."

December 2024 — The couple took to social media to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary (and 19 years of their civil partnership).
“Happy Anniversary to us 🚀❤️,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post at the time alongside a selfie of them at the beach.

Not every former Bachelorette found The One on the ABC series — but they’ve all captivated audiences with their search for love.

The Bachelor spinoff started off strong with Trista and Ryan Sutter, who got engaged during the first season of The Bachelorette in 2003. The couple, who have been married since December of that year, have since welcomed two children.

“I do not [regret it],” Trista exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2021 of her nuptials. “It was the best day ever. A close second to my children’s births. … But no, I don’t regret it at all. It was a beautiful day and I feel very lucky to have had the experience.”

While everlasting love has been the end result for some of the Bachelorettes, others haven’t been as lucky.

Scroll down to see which Bachelorettes maintained their relationships after the final rose — and which ones found love outside the show:
