Joe Biden was a 33-year-old US senator, and Jill Biden, whose maiden name is Jacobs, was a 24-year-old college senior. Both had been married before. Joe Biden's wife and daughter died in a car crash in 1972, leaving him a widower with two sons, and Jill Biden and her husband filed for divorce in her junior year. 

"I was a senior, and I had been dating guys in jeans and clogs and T-shirts, he came to the door and he had a sport coat and loafers, and I thought, 'God, this is never going to work, not in a million years,'" Jill Biden told Vogue in 2016. "He was nine years older than I am! But we went out to see 'A Man and a Woman' at the movie theater in Philadelphia, and we really hit it off."

When she got home from the date, Jill Biden told Vogue, she called her mother and said, "Mom, I finally met a gentleman."

"I said, 'Not yet. Not yet. Not yet,'" Jill Biden told Vogue of Joe Biden's proposals. "Because by that time, of course, I had fallen in love with the boys, and I really felt that this marriage had to work. Because they had lost their mom, and I couldn't have them lose another mother. So I had to be 100 percent sure."

When she did eventually agree to marry him, they held their wedding ceremony at the United Nations chapel and a reception lunch at Sign of the Dove in New York City. They took sons Beau and Hunter on their honeymoon.

In a video shown at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, Jill Biden said that Ashley Biden's birth made the family "complete."

He announced his presidential run in Wilmington, Delaware.

His short-lived campaign had been enveloped in scandal, with allegations of plagiarizing his speeches and exaggerating his academic records from college and law school, The New York Times reported.

"'I made some mistakes,'' he said as he announced the end of his campaign.

The New York Times described Jill Biden's face as "a study in dejection." Jill Biden later wrote about controlling her emotions in her 2019 memoir, "Where The Light Enters."

"As a political spouse, I've found that my stoicism often serves me well," she wrote. "In 1988, when Joe's first presidential campaign started to look bleak, people were constantly looking for cracks in our team. We all felt scrutinized, but I refused to show weakness."

Joe Biden had a pulmonary embolism later that year as he recovered. In her book, Jill Biden writes about watching as "EMTs carried him down the steps of our house on a stretcher."

She became Dr. Jill Biden.

"She gave me back my life," he wrote. "She made me start to think my family might be whole again."

The "bromance" between the two politicians went viral.

Joe Biden supported her career, too. She made history as the first known second lady to hold a full-time job, teaching English at Northern Virginia Community College.

"As second lady, she was teaching full time for eight years, 15 credits a semester," Joe Biden said in a video shown at the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

"I said, 'I know I can do both jobs,'" she said.

She encouraged students to call her "Dr. B.," The Los Angeles Times reported. 

The plaque reads "Joe loves Jill. Valentine's Day 2010."

They took other trips together, such as attending the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.

An ABC News camera panned to Joe Biden, who could be seen laughing good-naturedly at the unintended double entendre as the audience cheered.

"It's in my remarks, really," she said, before continuing with her speech amid chuckles from the crowd.

"After Joe was elected vice president, people started questioning whether I could keep teaching," she said. "Not Joe. He was there standing by my side saying 'Of course you should. It's who you are, Jill.'"

As they had in 2009, they danced together at more inaugural balls.

Still reeling from the loss, Joe Biden decided not to run for president in 2016.

"After the disappointment of my divorce, I never wanted to feel so out of control of my heart again," she wrote. "But in the months that Joe and I were dating, that desire ran up against a new reality: I was falling in love."

For the first time since 1981, she took a break from teaching to help him on the campaign trail.

Jill Biden was gesturing behind herself as she spoke, barely missing Joe Biden's face as he pretended to dodge. Joe Biden then leaned forward while her arm was outstretched and bit down on the tip of her index finger. She appeared to laugh it off.

Jill Biden later reposted a video on X of the hosts of "The View" discussing the moment, where Meghan McCain said, "I thought it was silly, and they clearly still love each other and are playful," and replied, "Guilty, we do still love each other!"

"Whoa, you don't screw around with a Philly girl, I'll tell you what," he said after the protesters were removed from the stage on Super Tuesday. "I thought I heard on the news on the way over that the committee in charge of Secret Service decided they have to start providing Secret Service for us. I think that's because they're afraid Jill's going to hurt someone. I tell you what man, I married way above my station."

"Love makes us flexible and resilient," she said in the speech. "It allows us to become more than ourselves, together, and though it can't protect us from the sorrows of life, it gives us refuge, a home. How do you make a broken family whole? The same way you make a nation whole: with love and understanding and with small acts of kindness."

"Jill's a mom — a military mom — and an educator," he said. "She has dedicated her life to education, but teaching isn't just what she does — it's who she is. For America's educators, this is a great day: You're going to have one of your own in the White House, and Jill is going to make a great first lady."

In an interview on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," they responded to the controversy.

"That was such a surprise," Jill Biden said of the op-ed. "It was really the tone of it. He called me 'kiddo,' and one of the things I'm most proud of is my doctorate. I mean, I've worked so hard for it. And Joe came when I defended my thesis."

"I got to hand her her doctorate on the stage at the University of Delaware," Joe Biden added.

Colbert jokingly asked if Joe Biden ever wanted to "get out a length of pool chain and go full corn pop" on people who criticize Jill Biden's academic achievements. As he began to answer, she interjected with "No! The answer is no!" Joe Biden then quipped, "I've been suppressing my Irishness for a long time."

The Biden family Bible dates back to 1893. He has used it for his swearing-in ceremonies as a US senator and as vice president. 

The then-president and first lady were traveling to Atlanta for a rally in Plains, Georgia, to meet with former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter.

As they were boarding Marine One on the White House Ellipse, Joe Biden bent down and picked a dandelion for his wife. Jill Biden stopped to accept the flower, and she held on to it as she boarded the helicopter.

The Bidens entered the White House with two German shepherds, Champ and Major. Champ passed away at the age of 13 in June 2021, and Major was rehomed due to behavioral issues. 

The Bidens also adopted a cat, Willow, in January 2022.

Commander was moved out of the White House in October 2023 after numerous biting incidents.

While exiting Marine One on Valentine's Day, the then-first lady was photographed wearing a corsage of what appeared to be white gardenias, her favorite flower.

In an interview with People magazine shortly after Joe Biden took office, Jill Biden shared that the corsages began as a Valentine's Day tradition, and that he had surprised her with a corsage of gardenias at the inauguration.

"I don't know when it started — a long, long time ago. I think it was for Valentine's Day," she said. "I love gardenias and so Joe would buy me a wrist corsage of gardenias. I wore it to school to teach!"

Joe Biden also shared a Valentine's Day message for his wife.

"You're the love of my life and the life of my love, Jilly. Happy Valentine's Day," he wrote on X.

Jill Biden, who appeared on the June-July cover of Harper's Bazaar, told the magazine that she and Joe Biden fight via text in what they call "fexting" to avoid arguing in front of their Secret Service detail — a method they've used since he served as vice president.

In one particularly heated exchange, Joe Biden reminded her that presidential communications like texts and emails are kept as part of a historical record of each presidency.

"Joe said, 'You realize that's going to go down in history. There will be a record of that,'" she told Harper's Bazaar. "I won't tell you what I called him that time."

While they did occasionally "fext," Jill Biden also spoke about supporting her husband's work during his presidency.

"I try to be a support for Joe because I don't know how many people are saying to him, 'That was great. That was brilliant.' I try to be that person for him," she said. "Some days, I see Joe and I'm just like, 'I don't know how you're doing it.' It's the pandemic and then it's the war and then it's the economy and then it's the gas prices. You feel like you're being slammed."

The Bidens celebrated their anniversary at their beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. During their trip, Joe Biden fell off his bike but quickly got back up and chatted with reporters. A White House spokesperson said that the president did not require medical attention.

Jill Biden's support was widely regarded as a determining factor in Joe Biden's decision to run again in 2024.

South Carolina Sen. Dick Harpootlian, a former state party chairman and Biden 2020 finance committee member, told Business Insider in 2022 that "Joe Biden wouldn't have run in '20 if Jill Biden had not wanted him to run and he won't run in '24 if Jill Biden doesn't want him to run."

During the first presidential debate of 2024, Joe Biden spoke with a hoarse voice, offered convoluted answers, and appeared disoriented at times. His poor performance sparked panic among Democrats about whether he should stay in the race.

Jill Biden defended Joe Biden in the face of widespread criticism, telling Vogue that the Biden family "will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he's been president. We will continue to fight."

"When he gets knocked down, Joe gets back up, and that's what we're doing today," Jill Biden said at a New York City fundraiser the day after the debate.

Joe Biden also acknowledged that his age impacted his debate performance, but remained firm in his commitment to stay in the race.

"I know I'm not a young man, to state the obvious," he said during a rally the day after the debate. "I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know: I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. And I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done."

On July 21, Joe Biden announced that he was dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.

"While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term," Biden wrote in a letter posted on social media.

On July 24, Jill Biden posted her first public statement since her husband's announcement.

"To those who never wavered, to those who refused to doubt, to those who always believed, my heart is full of gratitude," Jill Biden wrote in a statement on X. "Thank you for the trust you put in Joe — now it's time to put that trust in Kamala."

The first night of the Democratic National Convention was dedicated to recognizing Joe Biden's legacy throughout his decades of public service.

"Joe and I have been together for almost 50 years, and still there are moments when I fall in love with him all over again," Jill said in her speech.

In his convention speech, Joe Biden said that his wife "still leaves me both breathless and speechless."

The Bidens greeted Donald Trump and Melania Trump at the White House before heading to the inauguration, which was held in the Capitol Rotunda due to frigid temperatures.

The cancer has metastasized to the former president's bones, Joe Biden's office said in a statement released on Sunday.

"While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management," the statement read. "The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians."

On Monday, Joe Biden posted a selfie on X of himself with Jill Biden and their cat, Willow, and thanked well-wishers for their support following his diagnosis.

"Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places," he wrote. "Thank you for lifting us up with love and support."

At the BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament in 2021, Gates was seated one row in front of Hurd next to his ex-girlfriend, Ann Winblad.

Hurd and Gates attended several games of the tournament in Indian Wells, California, and appeared to lean into each other in the stands of a match between Paula Badosa of Spain and Maria Sakkari of Greece.

Gates and Hurd are both deeply involved in tennis. Gates has played in charity matches with pros such as Roger Federer, and Hurd chairs the Universal Tennis Foundation, which helps college players transition into professional athletes and supports youth and wheelchair tennis programs.

Gates and Hurd sat in the front row of the men's singles final match between Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece.

Citing anonymous sources, the Daily Mail reported that Gates and Hurd were dating and had been spotted sightseeing together in Sydney in January.

The Daily Mail also reported that Hurd and her late husband had been seated behind Gates at the BNP Paribas Open as far back as 2015.

Gates and Hurd posed for photos together at the 2024 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony, nicknamed the "Oscars of science" for its recognition of scientific achievements.

The conference is known as a "billionaire summer camp" where top tech leaders and investors such as Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, and Warren Buffett attend industry sessions, play golf, and close deals.

Hurd and Gates attended the women's gymnastics final and team final events. They were joined by Gates' daughter, Jennifer Gates, and her husband, Nayel Nassar, an equestrian who competed for Team Egypt at the same Olympics.

Gates' memoir, "Source Code," chronicles his upbringing and the early days of Microsoft.

In the acknowledgements of "Source Code," Gates mentioned Hurd as one of the "dear and trusted friends" who "provided much-needed thoughtful and insightful feedback at critical stages in the writing" of his book.

In an appearance on "The Today Show" promoting his memoir, Gates said that he was "lucky to have a serious girlfriend named Paula."

"We're having fun, going to the Olympics and lots of great things," he said.

Gates and Hurd attended the star-studded ceremony at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.

Dean was driving by in his pickup truck when he saw Dolly Parton and "hollered" at her, she told The New York Times in 1976. She declined his request for a date but invited him over while she was babysitting her nephew the following day.

"He came up every day that week and we sat out on the porch. I wouldn't even take him in the house," she said. "Then my aunt got a day off, and she could keep the kid and that was my first chance to go anywhere with Carl and he drove me straight to his folks' house and introduced me to his mother and daddy. 'Cause he said he knew right the minute he saw me that that's the one he wanted."

At the time, Parton was 18 and Dean was 21.

Parton's record label asked her to wait a year before getting married for the sake of her career, but she and Dean couldn't wait. They went to Georgia so that the event wouldn't be reported in the Tennessee press.

"It was just my mother and Carl and me," she told CMT in 2016. "We went across the state line to Ringgold, Georgia. My mother made me a little white dress and a little bouquet and a little Bible. But I said, 'I can't get married in a courthouse because I'll never feel married.' So we found a little Baptist church in town, and went up to Pastor Don Duvall and said, 'Would you marry us?' We got pictures on the steps right outside the church."

Parton received her first songwriting award at 20 years old for "Put It Off Until Tomorrow" recorded by Bill Phillips, winning BMI's Song of the Year. She and Dean walked the red carpet and attended the dinner and award ceremony, but it wasn't Dean's style.

"After the dinner, we walked back out, and they brought us our car — I don't even remember what we were driving then — and we got in it and headed for home," Parton told audiences at the Marty Stuart Jam in 2011, The Boot reported. "Carl turned to me and said, 'Dolly, I want you to have everything you want, and I'm happy for you, but don't you ever ask me to go to another one of them dang things again!'"

"My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy" reached No. 6 on the US Top Country Albums charts.

Beyond this image, there are few public photos of the couple.

"She got this terrible crush on my husband," Parton told NPR in 2008. "And he just loved going to the bank because she paid him so much attention. It was kinda like a running joke between us — when I was saying, 'Hell, you're spending a lot of time at the bank. I don't believe we've got that kind of money.' So it's really an innocent song all around, but sounds like a dreadful one."

The auction benefited the Dr. Robert F. Thomas Foundation, which expands access to quality healthcare in Sevier County. The foundation is named for the physician who delivered Parton, and she serves as its honorary chairperson.

"I got all dressed up in the most beautiful gown you've ever seen and dressed that husband of mine up. He looked like a handsome dude out of Hollywood," she told Rolling Stone in 2016. "We had a few family and friends around. We didn't plan anything big at all because we didn't want any kind of strain, any kind of tension, any kind of commotion, so we planned it cleverly and carefully. We just had a simple little ceremony at our chapel at our place."

In his first public statement in honor of their 50th anniversary, Dean also expressed his love for Parton.

"My first thought was, 'I'm gonna marry that girl,'" Dean said in a statement of the moment they met, Entertainment Tonight reported. "My second thought was, 'Lord she's good lookin'.' And that was the day my life began. I wouldn't trade the last 50 years for nothing on this earth."

"I was just trying to think about all the different colors of love through the years," Parton told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'Well I'm going to write about mine and Carl's relationship. It's just a pure and simple relationship,' so it started with that and then I thought, 'Well why don't I just write a whole album of love songs?'"

Parton and Aniston worked together on the Netflix movie "Dumplin,'" with Parton writing six original songs for the soundtrack.

"I love her to death," she said of Aniston. "My husband is crazy about her. And he was more excited that I was gonna do a movie with her than he was that I got the chance to write all this music."

Parton confirmed that Dean, a retired businessman, is a real person, despite rumors of him being imaginary.

"A lot of people have thought that through the years, because he does not want to be in the spotlight at all," Parton told Entertainment Tonight. "It's just not who he is. He's like, a quiet, reserved person and he figured if he ever got out there in that, he'd never get a minute's peace and he's right about that."

Parton said that they each value their independence, and that Dean values his privacy and has no interest in fame.

"I've always respected and appreciated that in him and I've always tried to keep him out of the limelight as much as I can," she said. "He said, 'I didn't choose this world, I chose you, and you chose that world. But we can keep our lives separate and together.' And we do and we have. We've been together 56 years, married 54."

Parton shared a video of herself on Instagram in a black bustier and pink-and-white collar with a bow tie. 

"Hey!" Parton said in the video. "You're probably wondering why I'm dressed like this. Well, it's for my husband's birthday."

She said that Dean had always loved her original Playboy cover, so to "make him happy" on his birthday, she decided to get a duplicate outfit and set up her own photo shoot. 

"He still thinks I'm a hot chick after 57 years," she said. "And I'm not gonna try and talk him out of that."

In the interview, Parton discussed her time working with country star and duet partner Porter Wagoner.

"My husband and I don't argue, but Porter and I did nothing but fight. It was a love-hate relationship," she told W magazine's Lynn Hirschberg.

The vintage photo appeared to have been edited to show Dean wearing a shirt from Parton's line of merchandise available on her website.

"Find you a partner who will support you like my Carl Dean does!" Parton captioned the post.

"You can't go wrong with fried chicken," Parton told Business Insider's Anneta Konstantinides. "I think everybody should really know how to make good fried chicken. No matter where people come from, they love good fried chicken. So you need to make good fried chicken!" 

Parton said she also makes him pork chops with green peas and mashed potatoes, biscuits and gravy, or chicken and dumplings — her specialty. 

"A lot of people like my chicken and dumplings," she said. "I'm pretty famous for that. Carl likes all my cooking. But he, like the rest of them, especially likes the chicken and dumplings." 

In March 2022, Parton was one of 17 artists shortlisted and one of seven first-time nominees.

"Even though I am extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I don't feel that I have earned that right," she said in a statement. "I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out."

She added, "This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock 'n' roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do! My husband is a total rock 'n' roll freak, and has always encouraged me to do one."

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame declined Parton's request to be removed from the ballot, saying in a statement, in part, "In addition to her incredible talent as an artist, her humility is another reason Dolly is a beloved icon by millions of fans around the world."

In April, she changed her tune and said she would accept the honor, if she was voted in.

"I'll accept gracefully. I'll just say 'Thanks' and I will accept it because the fans vote," she told NPR's "Morning Edition."

In May 2022, it was announced she had indeed been voted in.

In a red-carpet interview with E! News at her induction ceremony, Parton said that her upcoming album would feature some of Dean's favorite rock songs.

"We have a lot of favorite songs," she said. "He loves rock 'n' roll, he loves Led Zeppelin and he loves 'Stairway to Heaven.' So I'm going to do a lot of things like that for him."

The album featured duets with artists including Sting, Stevie Nicks, Steven Tyler, and Joan Jett. "Rockstar" reached No. 1 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart and became her best-selling album since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.

Dean's death was announced in a post on Parton's social media on March 3.

"Carl and I spent many wonderful years together," Parton wrote in the post. "Words can't do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy."

The post shared that Dean would be "laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending."

Haack and El Moussa met in the early 2000s when they were working together at a real-estate office in California.

They started dating and became a real-estate team in 2008, and they got married a year later. 

El Moussa and Haack welcomed their daughter, Taylor Reese, after a quick birth.

El Moussa and Haack initially pitched "Flip or Flop" in 2011, when El Moussa had a friend film their audition tape for HGTV.

The network signed the couple for a show in 2012, and episodes started airing in 2013. 

Haack and El Moussa struggled to conceive their second child, so she underwent IVF treatment, as People reported.

After suffering a miscarriage, Haack got pregnant again and gave birth to a son in 2015, Brayden James El Moussa.

In May 2016, police went to the couple's home because of "a call of a possibly suicidal male with a gun," TMZ reported at the time. El Moussa was seen running from his home with a firearm, which he dropped after police told him from a helicopter to release it, the outlet reported.

Seven months later, El Moussa and Haack announced their separation, acknowledging the incident in a statement to Us Weekly.

"Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage," the statement said. "We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago, and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution."

"There was no violence, and no charges were filed. We chose to get counseling to sort out our relationship. Together, we have decided to separate while we reevaluate the future of our marriage," the statement went on to say.

El Moussa reflected on the incident in his 2024 book, "Flip Your Life," writing that he took his gun with him on a hike because of wildlife in the area after an argument with Haack, though that was not clear to Haack when she saw him hop their fence with the weapon in tow. 

"That was the very last time we were together as a family: with Christina walking down the driveway, crying, and me sitting there in handcuffs, asking myself, 'What in the world is going on?'" he wrote of the incident, adding that he was taking testosterone at the time. He quit the next day and ended up living in a halfway house shortly after.

Speaking to BI about his life in January 2024, El Moussa said that hitting rock bottom helped him see his true priorities.

"I didn't even realize how obsessed I was with my kids until I hit rock bottom, until I was on my own, until I started rebuilding my life," he told BI.

"I wasn't present. I wasn't putting in the work," he added. "I wasn't putting in the time that I put into flipping houses. I needed to put that time into being a dad."

Before her divorce from El Moussa was finalized, a mutual friend introduced Haack and "Wheelers and Dealers" star Ant Anstead, as House Beautiful reported. Like Haack, Anstead had two children from a previous marriage.

They initially kept their relationship private and only revealed they started dating in October on their first anniversary.

Haack announced she and Anstead were dating with a casual photo of the duo biking on her Instagram that has since been deleted, as People reported.

She congratulated him on his new season of "Wheelers and Dealers" in the post.

A representative for the former couple confirmed to Page Six that the divorce was finalized.

The exes decided to keep filming "Flip or Flop" together.

Anstead and Haack didn't announce their engagement before their wedding, though Anstead did say they were "celebrating something special" in the caption of a photo of Haack that he posted on December 17, according to People.

They got married at their house in Newport Beach, California. 

"We pulled off the perfect surprise wedding," Haack told People at the time.

Haack and Anstead announced they were expecting in an Instagram post that has since been deleted.

Her ex, El Moussa, later accidentally announced the baby's gender during an appearance on TMZ Live.

A representative for Haack and Anstead then confirmed the news to People in a statement. "While Christina and Ant wished they could have shared the news themselves, they are very excited to welcome a baby boy in the fall," they said.

In another now-deleted Instagram, Haack announced that she and Anstead had welcomed their son, Hudson London, according to People.

"Ant and I are so excited to welcome Hudson London Anstead into the world. Our hearts are SO full of love and joy," she captioned the post at the time. 

Haack also documented Taylor and Brayden meeting their brother for the first time in her docuseries, "Christina on the Coast."

A year after they had Hudson, Haack announced she and Anstead were separating in an Instagram post that has since been deleted.

"Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate. We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority," she said in the statement, according to People. "We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future."

Anstead also posted about the separation on his Instagram, seeming to indicate that Haack decided to end the marriage. 

"Anyone who really knows me knows that I don't like to share private matters publicly. I have remained silent while holding on to hope," he captioned a selfie of the pair. "I never gave up on us. I pray Christina's decision brings her happiness."

Sometime in early 2021, Haack started dating Austin-based real-estate agent Josh Hall. According to US Weekly, the pair initially met at a real-estate conference a few years before they became involved.

The couple kept the relationship quiet, and it's unclear exactly when they started dating. But in March 2022, Haack confirmed they had been dating since at least March 2021 with a throwback photo of the pair on Instagram that has since been deleted.

A representative for Haack confirmed the marriage was officially over to USA Today.

Page Six published photos of the couple at LAX on their way to Mexico.

Haack posted a now-deleted photo of herself and Hall on Instagram later that day, confirming the relationship and critiquing the media's focus on her love life. 

"I met Josh when I wasn't in a state of fear or fight-or-flight," she wrote. "When we met this past spring, the synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore. I felt immediately crazy protective over him and wanted to keep him for myself and get to know each other before the tornado (media attention) hit."

"We decided whats in the past, is in the past. We aren't looking at all the nonsense online," she added. "So yes 'another relationship' and guess what. I'm 38 – I'll do what I want."

Haack announced the engagement with a series of Instagram photos from a trip the couple took to Mexico, which have since been deleted.

E! News initially reported that the couple got married in a "private ceremony" on April 5, 2022. Business Insider was able to confirm their marriage separately.

Haack also changed her Instagram name from "Christina Haack" to "Christina Hall." 

E! News reported that Haack's real-estate license had also been changed to "Christina Hall."

On April 28, 2022, Anstead filed an emergency request for full custody of Hudson. 

In his court filing, which BI reviewed, Anstead said he was Hudson's "primary parent" and that Haack only spent an average of "9 full days each month" with their son.

He also said that Haack had put Hudson in "dangerous" situations, including a sunburn so severe it made him cry.

On another occasion, Anstead said Haack returned Hudson to him without telling him her family had COVID.

"At the time, my partner was filming her new project and her covid diagnosis placed the whole production on pause," he said in the filing, referring to his current girlfriend, Renée Zellweger.

Anstead also said in the filing that Haack used her time with Hudson to post him on social media, sometimes for sponsored content. Anstead requested that a judge block Haack from posting Hudson in any "commercial endeavor" until they reached a new custody agreement.

Anstead requested a "regular" custody schedule that would give Haack visitation rights on "alternating weekends, Friday at 4 p.m. until Sunday at 6 p.m. commencing May 6, 2022, in California only, and except for vacations," according to the court documents.

"This will allow Christina's time to be stepped-up over the next several months to match the schedule she has with her other children," the filing said.

Anstead declined to comment on the matter when contacted by BI.

"What Ant is doing deeply saddens me," Haack said. "If this was really about Hudson, as he says, this should have been handled privately with a private judge or mediation, as myself and my attorney have suggested."

"I have had my share of ups and downs, but I am a good mom and I love my children with all my heart and I will always protect them," she added.

A judge denied Anstead's ex parte custody application on April 28, both because he did not give Haack enough notice and he did not provide sufficient evidence that Hudson was in danger, according to People.

Haack also filed a response to Anstead's motion on April 29, which BI reviewed. She said she was "shocked" by the filing and that Anstead was "misleading" the court regarding their custody arrangement.

"Mr. Anstead has now taken the position that he is the defacto primary parent of our son, which is not accurate," she said in the filing. "Anstead does not count any day wherein we exchange our son as a custodial day for me. He also counts days where I made an accommodation or gave a right of first refusal to him as his day."

"That is why there is a huge discrepancy in his mind from our accurate schedule. His attempt to mislead the court is transparent when presented with the true facts," Haack also said. "I do not count my accommodations as decreasing my custodial time, but as me being a supportive coparent."

Representatives for Haack and Anstead did not respond to a request for comment from BI on the filing.

Tarek El Moussa married Heather Rae El Moussa in October 2021, and she quickly became a huge part of his life and his children's lives. 

But she did not seem to immediately get along with Haack. The Daily Mail published photos of Tarek El Moussa appearing to pull the former "Selling Sunset" star away from Haack during an argument at Brayden's soccer game on May 9, 2022. The same article also featured photos of Hall and Tarek El Moussa arguing and being separated by a coach.

The two women shared a joint statement with BI at the time.

"A personal matter was discussed and has since been resolved," the statement said. "We are focused on co-parenting as a team moving forward."

The altercation took place after Heather Rae El Moussa appeared to confirm that her husband had called her a "hotter, richer version" of Haack during a fight, in addition to calling his ex a "washed-up loser," as People reported in July 2021.

Shortly after the Daily Mail published the argument photos, Brayden underwent an emergency appendectomy. 

Haack shared on her Instagram story that Brayden's surgery went well, adding that the experience was a "wake-up call" for her. She tagged Hall and the El Moussas in the post. 

"Stressful 24 hours but a good reminder how important team work / co-parenting is," she wrote on her story. "We are all under pressure but when it really matters we were all there for Brayden doing our part."

"Sometimes a scary situation can be a good wake up call," she said. "In the end all the other stuff is just 'noise,' what matters is the kids."

Heather Rae El Moussa echoed the sentiment in a selfie with Brayden and her husband that she shared on Instagram, in which she tagged Hall and Haack. 

"We all pulled together as a family during this stressful time," she wrote. "The kids will always be the main priority to all of us."

In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, Haack revealed she and Hall got married in September 2022 in front of their loved ones, including her children. 

"Shared vows in front of family and our close friends," she captioned the post. "Everything in life has led me to where I am right now, which is exactly where I want to be."

"My dream man on the dreamiest island," she added. "Maui holds a special place in my heart. What an amazing night filled with love."

After a monthslong custody battle, during which both accused the other of "exploiting" Hudson throughout their legal fight, Haack and Anstead were finally able to resolve their issues and retain joint custody in November 2022. 

Representatives for Haack and Anstead declined to comment on the matter when contacted by BI. 

On May 15, 2024, HGTV shared a promo video for a new show called "The Flip Off," starring the El Moussas, Haack, and Hall. 

The caption said the show would pit the two couples against each other in "a battle to see who can find, buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest financial gain."

"Be on the lookout for the spicy new series that'll have you saying, 'What the flip?!'" the caption said. 

According to paperwork reviewed by BI, Hall filed for divorce in Orange County, California, on July 12, 2024. He listed his date of separation from Haack as July 8. The documents said that he was seeking spousal support from Haack.  

Hall's filing also listed the date of their marriage as October 6, 2021, five months earlier than the April 5, 2022, date originally believed to be the day they got married. 

Haack submitted her own request to dissolve their marriage on July 23, 2024, and her request listed their separation date as July 7, one day earlier than Hall's paperwork.

Hall and Haack's divorce proceedings are ongoing. The exes have disagreed about ownership of properties in Tennessee and spousal support. You can read more about Haack and Hall's divorce here.

In a press release shared with BI, HGTV shared that Haack started the competition for "The Flip Off" with Hall but ultimately competed against the El Moussas solo after their split.

Speaking to BI in January 2025, Haack said she thinks it was a "major advantage" that she didn't have to collaborate with Hall on the show because he was inexperienced with house flipping and real estate compared to her.

"I think that without him, it's just easier," she said.

Hall posted a photo of himself with Stephanie Gabrys sitting on his lap on his Instagram story in January. He captioned the post, "Happy 35th to this real life 😇."

On her Instagram, Gabrys says she is a model who lives in Florida, Chicago, and Nashville.

She has not posted a photo of Hall on her Instagram grid, but Gabrys commented on a post Hall made on January 1, writing, "Proud of you and the strong, patient, hard working, generous, and kind hearted man you are! 2025 is going to be the best year yet!"

Hall appeared in the premiere of "The Flip Off," finding a house to flip with Haack for the competition.

The episode also included a tense conversation between the then-couple in a car, during which Hall called Haack "rude" after she didn't understand a reference he made to a billboard, adding that he wished she would "shut up" and that she was "pissing" him off.

Haack told producers Hall had been "a bit moody lately" when speaking of the conversation.

"Josh knows that Tarek and I have a history," she said. "I'm sure some of it is the stress of the competition."

Hall abruptly stopped appearing in the episode after their split happened off-screen.

Hall shared a sneak peek clip of the interaction to his Instagram story ahead of the premiere, writing that it was "manufactured drama." In response, Haack shared a photo of herself crying after a day of filming with Hall.

The first episode of "The Flip Off" also included an emotional conversation between Haack and El Moussa. She shared with him that she and Hall had split after a "blowup over nothing."

"Things with Josh have been bad for a long time. Not just kinda bad, like bad," Haack said on the show. "The kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he's not nice to me."

"You make him very insecure," she said to her ex. "Every time we would barely joke at soccer or if I laughed at you, he, like, would not speak to me for two to three days. I would get the silent treatment."

"He doesn't like me," Haack said of Hall. "He calls me cocky. He thinks I'm arrogant when we both know I'm not cocky or arrogant. I just do work."

Haack and El Moussa also reflected on their own relationship in the conversation, and Haack told BI she still gets emotional thinking about their talk.

On January 11, People reported that Haack was dating Christopher Larocca. According to the company's website, Larocca is the president and CEO of Network Connex and has worked in the business world for over two decades. He also has an MBA from the University of Southern California.

On Wednesday, she posted photos of herself and some friends on a private jet with the caption, "Some plane flights must be hard posted."

Haack included two photos of herself with Larocca in the post and tagged him. In one shot, they sit together in a plane seat, and in another, they have their arms wrapped around each other in front of the jet.

It's been widely reported that Gaga and Polansky were introduced by Sean Parker, the founder of Napster and cofounder of Facebook. (Polansky attended Harvard at the same time as Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's more famous cofounder. Polansky and Parker are longtime associates.)

However, Gaga revealed they actually met through her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, who runs Gaga's mental health nonprofit. According to Vogue, Germanotta and Polansky originally crossed paths by "philanthropic overlap."

"My mom met him and she said to me, 'I think I just met your husband,' and I said, 'I'm not ready to meet my husband!'" Gaga told the magazine. "I could never have imagined that my mom…found the most perfect person for me?"

In December 2019, Parker celebrated his 40th birthday in Los Angeles with a star-studded bash and performance from Stevie Nicks. Gaga was invited — and her mom said Polansky would be there, too.

"So I went to the party and I kept asking for him and he finally came over to me and we talked for three hours. We had the most amazing conversation," Gaga told Vogue.

"I didn't know much about her and honestly wasn't sure what to expect," Polansky added. "I was struck immediately by her warmth and openness — she was so genuinely curious about what my life was like growing up in Minnesota."

Gaga and Polansky welcomed the new year with a midnight kiss while attending a party in Las Vegas, as seen in a video shared on X (then Twitter) by Las Vegas Review columnist John Katsilometes. 

Fans waited outside the building in the hopes of snagging a glimpse of the singer. They eventually saw Gaga exiting the building with Polansky, who was holding her hand the entire time.

At this point, people weren't sure who the businessman was, and the relationship was shrouded in mystery. Many outlets referred to Polansky as Gaga's "mystery man."

Gaga was in Miami to perform at the AT&T TV Super Saturday Night show. In her downtime, the singer lounged on a balcony with Polansky, where they were spotted kissing. 

After photos of the couple surfaced online, Us Weekly identified Gaga's new love interest as Polansky.

A source told E! News that Gaga "has been dating the same guy for over a month. They've been seeing other since before the holidays and she's crazy about him."

The source also confirmed that Polansky spent New Year's Eve with the singer as "they had already been seeing each other for weeks" at that point. 

The day after Gaga performed at the AT&T TV Super Saturday Night show, she and Polansky watched the Super Bowl together from a box at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium.

In a video shared online by comedian Jeff Ross, Gaga clapped along to Jennifer Lopez and Shakira's halftime performance with Polansky by her side. 

After paparazzi photos and fan videos surfaced from the couple's time in Florida, Gaga shared her own memory from the trip on Instagram. In the photo, she's sitting on Polansky's lap with his arms wrapped around her.

"We had so much fun in Miami. Love to all my little monsters and fans, you're the best!" she captioned the photo. 

Gaga shared a close-up selfie of herself with Polansky on Instagram the day after the holiday.

"Happy Valentine's Day!! 'Babe, do I have lipstick all-over me?'" Gaga wrote in the caption, adding a crying-while-laughing emoji. "Happy v-day to all my monsters!!! I love you!!!"

After Gaga's split from talent agent Christian Carino in February 2019, the singer reportedly wanted to take things slow, a source told Entertainment Tonight. And while her intention was to keep things light with Polansky, they were "getting serious," according to the source. 

"Gaga is really getting serious with her boyfriend and the chemistry is undeniable. At first she wanted to keep it low key and quiet because she had just gotten out of a relationship and thought taking it slow would be good, but they had an immediate connection, so it was tough to keep under wraps. They were spending so much time together, she finally decided to post on Instagram to make it official," the source said.

They added that she "wasn't expecting to get so involved so quickly" but "started telling her friends she was completely in love with him."

"Anyone that has spent any time with them can see the connection. They are completely smitten. Her friends haven't seen her this happy in years," the source said, adding, "It didn't take long for her friends to adore him too."

While both the businessman and the musician both have packed calendars, the source explained that they're "supportive" of each other's schedules.

"He can often work remotely so even travels with her," the source said. 

Shortly after President Donald Trump declared a national emergency due to COVID-19, Gaga shared a selfie of herself with Polansky on Instagram.

"Day 6 of self-quarantining!" she wrote in her caption. "Going strong, playing video games and cards, and taking care of ourselves."

Gaga also encouraged her fans to stay home to help prevent the spread of the virus. "Important reminder: keep your mind as stress free as possible and your body moving," she wrote. "It's ok and so wonderful to stay home if you can! What a kind act for the world."

A source told Entertainment Tonight that Gaga and Polansky thought self-isolating together was "the right thing to do."

"It's given them time to spend together and focus on one another without work or any other distractions," the source said. 

Years later, Polansky said they spent the time "taking walks, making coffee, hanging out with the dogs, reading books together." He described it as an "amazing chapter of a weird kind of normalcy."

"She's really into him!" a source told E! News, adding that they "are opposites of each other, which all-around is a good thing for her."

The source also said that the businessman "cares a lot about Gaga." 

On an episode of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Gaga spoke about prioritizing mental health during the pandemic with hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough. During the interview, she nonchalantly referred to Polansky as "the love of my life."

"With Born This Way Foundation, my mother, Cynthia Germanotta, and our cofounder Maya, who I love so very much, they are working with my, the love of my life, on something for mental health," Gaga said.

Gaga raised $35 million in seven days for the WHO's global coronavirus response fund by calling philanthropists and corporate leaders. In an Instagram post, Gaga revealed that Polansky helped her fundraising efforts. 

"With some of my co-fundraisers @booconnor @michaelpolansky
#oneworld #togetherathome," she wrote on Instagram. Gaga tagged Polansky's Instagram account, which is private. 

As The New York Times reported, Gaga had long-standing ties to Biden before she endorsed him for president in 2020. After he was elected, she accepted an invitation to perform at his inauguration in Washington, DC.

Many viewers were so captivated by Gaga's powerful rendition of the National Anthem (not to mention her over-the-top Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown) that they may have missed Polansky, who was also present at the historic event.

The businessman attended to support Gaga, and photographers even captured a photo of the couple kissing with their masks on. Gaga later shared the image on her Instagram, adding a dove emoji in the caption.

After pandemic restrictions had lifted, Gaga went on a two-month global tour to promote her 2020 album "Chromatica."

The Chromatica Ball kicked off in Germany on July 17, 2022, and wrapped up in Miami on September 17, 2022. We later learned that Polansky joined Gaga on the road.

"Michael and I did that tour together," Gaga told Vogue. "I did it pain-free! I haven't smoked pot in years. I've, like, changed."

"On the 'Chromatica' tour, I saw a fire in her," Polansky added. "I wanted to help her keep that alive all the time and just start making music that made her happy."

Gaga confirmed her engagement to Polansky in her October 2024 cover story for Vogue.

According to interviewer Jonathan Van Meter, the couple officially got engaged a few months earlier, in April, after a low-key day spent rock climbing.

Just a few weeks earlier, on her 38th birthday, Gaga shared a selfie on Instagram with a sweet shoutout to Polansky in the caption.

"Today has been so special — I can't remember a time I was so happy on my bday. I am in love with my best friend, my family and friends are loving and kind and healthy," she wrote.

Gaga performed at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics on the bank of the River Seine. She sang a French circus tune, "Mon Truc en Plumes," in a cabaret-inspired routine.

After the ceremony, Gaga and Polansky met with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who shared a clip of their brief interaction on TikTok.

In the short video, Gaga introduces Polansky as "my fiancé" while Attal shakes his hand.

Polansky accompanied Gaga to the Venice International Film Festival premiere of "Joker: Folie à Deux," in which Gaga costars as Lee, an unhinged fan of Joker who becomes Harley Quinn.

The couple walked the red carpet together holding hands.

The aforementioned Vogue cover story included details about Gaga's relationship with Polansky that were previously unknown to the public.

Gaga told the magazine that she and Polansky fell in love after just one date. When the pandemic hit, and social-distancing guidelines were introduced, Polansky moved from San Franciso to Malibu in order to be with her.

"It was really kind of special," Gaga said. "I'd been so focused on my career since I was a teenager. And the gift of that time was that I got to completely focus on my relationship. I met this totally supportive, loving human being who wanted to get to know me — outside of Lady Gaga."

Gaga gushed about Polansky throughout the interview, describing him as "so smart and so kind," as well as protective of their personal life.

"He's a very private guy and he's not with me for any other reason than that we are right for each other," she said. But I think what I want my fans to know is that I'm just, like, so happy."

Gaga and Polansky attended the 2025 Grammys and posed for a photo together.

The singer won best pop duo/group performance for her duet with Bruno Mars, "Die With a Smile," which was released in August 2024.

During their acceptance speech, Gaga shouted out Polansky and thanked him for supporting her.

"Michael, I love you so much," she said, "all your support and love every single day."

Ahead of releasing "Mayhem," Gaga credited Polansky with inspiring her to make pop music again. "Like anyone would do for the person they love, I encouraged her to lean in to the joy of it," Polansky told Vogue.

Polansky was apparently hands-on during the creative process, too — he's credited as a cowriter on seven of the album's 14 tracks: "Disease," "Vanish Into You," "LoveDrug," "How Bad Do U Want Me," "Don't Call Tonight," "The Beast," and "Blade of Grass," which Gaga said was inspired by their engagement. Polansky is also listed as an executive producer alongside Gaga and Andrew Watt.

When asked what impact Polansky had on her new music, Gaga told The New York Times, "Michael was in the studio every day with me. He oversaw the whole process of making the record, completing it, helping me to shape the sound of the record creatively."

At one point, Gaga said, she had the urge to transform "Mayhem" into a grunge-pop album in the vein of track four, "Perfect Celebrity." Polansky convinced her to keep "Mayhem" as a mix of genres and sonic influences.

"He said, 'But there's so much other amazing music that you've made, and it's all you. You don't have to try to be something,'" she explained. "I thought that was really astute, and I was happy it happened because often I will run with my crazy idea and then sometimes regret that."

Tarek El Moussa married Christina Haack in 2009. They starred in HGTV's "Flip or Flop" and have two children, Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9.

The couple separated in 2016, seven months after police were called to their house because of "a call of a possibly suicidal male with a gun," TMZ reported at the time. Tarek was seen running from his home with a firearm, which he dropped after police told him from a helicopter to release it, TMZ reported.

"Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage," Tarek and Haack said in a statement to People on the matter. "We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago, and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution. There was no violence, and no charges were filed."

Tarek addressed the incident in his 2024 book "Flip Your Life," saying he decided to go on a walk after a fight with Haack and was carrying the gun to protect himself from wildlife.

In a February 2024 conversation with Business Insider, he also described his divorce from Haack as "the most difficult period" of his life, particularly because of the media attention their separation received.

"I don't know what it was about me and Christina, but we got so much press for years, and it just wouldn't slow down," he said. "It wouldn't go away."

Tarek and Haack's divorce was finalized in January 2018, and he went on to star in "Flipping 101" solo. "Flip or Flop" ended in 2022.

As the couple shared on the "Not Skinny Not Fat" podcast, Tarek and Heather first connected when he slid into Heather's Instagram DMs a few months before she started filming Netflix's "Selling Sunset." He asked her out, but she said no because she had a boyfriend at the time.

On July 4, 2019, Tarek and Heather, who was then single, were cruising on separate boats off the coast of Newport Beach, California, for the holiday, according to People.

When their boats were docked near each other, Heather came onto Tarek's boat to speak to a mutual friend. Sparks flew, and Tarek asked Heather on a date again. This time, she said yes.

TMZ captured photos of Heather and Tarek kissing in Redondo Beach, California. 

The pair announced their relationship with matching Instagram photos. 

"It's official," Tarek captioned his post. "After more than 3 years on my own I'm so PROUD to say that this beautiful, sweet and talented young lady is my girlfriend."

"I'll be honest and say I never thought I would meet someone special in my life after the last three years," he went on to write. "Then...out of the blue @heatherraeyoung walked into my life."

Heather said she was "so proud to call" Tarek her boyfriend in her post.

"This incredible man @therealtarekelmoussa came into my life at the perfect time and I haven't stopped smiling since," she wrote. "I am so proud to call him my boyfriend, I just look at him in awe at what an amazing, talented and kind human he is."

On the same day that they announced their relationship, Tarek and Heather did an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

In the interview, Tarek shared that he introduced Heather to his family, including his two children, the night before.

"I introduced her to my kids last night for the first time," he said in the interview. "My mom, my dad, my mom's husband, my sister. So, we're doing it! Very excited."

Tarek also said in the interview that Heather was everything he didn't know he had been missing.

"I just went through some pretty traumatic things in my life and honestly I was very happy being comfortable on my own and I didn't realize what I was missing until I found what I was missing," he told Entertainment Tonight at the time. "I was sad for a very long time; I was alone for a very long time, and I feel like she's really brought me back to life, which is very, very fun to say."

The crew members Tarek works with on HGTV surprised him with a birthday cake and rendition of "Happy Birthday" to celebrate his 38th birthday, as he documented in an Instagram post.

Heather was with him during the surprise, and Tarek introduced her to the crew as his "birthday present" after saying it was the "best birthday ever."

The "Flipping 101" star revealed that Heather and Haack had already met during an appearance on "GMA3."

As he told hosts Michael Strahan, Keke Palmer, and Sara Haines, Haack and Heather met when he and Heather went to pick up his kids. He only gave both women five minutes' notice that they would be meeting.

"I was like, 'Oh, I'm coming over to see the kids. By the way, my girlfriend is coming. See you in five!'" Tarek said of what he told Haack.

"I looked at Heather, and I was like, 'Are you ready?' And she was like, 'Ready for what?' I was like, 'Well, we're going to go see the kids, and my ex-wife is there,'" he said.

Tarek added that he and Haack had not formally discussed his new relationship before the two women met, but they "got along great."

"They both eat that healthy, hippie food," he joked. "They do that weird hiking stuff."

Heather and Tarek went to Amsterdam and Paris for their first Thanksgiving together, as they documented on Instagram.

A month later, they spent Christmas Day with Tarek's children. 

"My heart is so full of love," Heather wrote in an Instagram post about the day. "@therealtarekelmoussa and the kids have changed my life more than I can even describe. This is our first Christmas together and it's one I'll never forget."

"I just adore Tarek's family so much," she added.

Tarek announced on Instagram that he and Heather had been living together "for a while" at the end of January 2020. He said they split their time between a home in West Hollywood and another in Orange County.

"The best part is I now have someone to go to bed with and wake up to every day," he wrote. "The better part is that person is @heatherraeyoung."

Tarek later revealed in another Instagram post that he and Heather moved in together "less than a week after our first date."

Both Tarek and Heather took to Instagram to celebrate one year together.

"From the first day I met you, to our first date and our second date when we decided to commit 100% before we barely even knew each other. But we knew what we had was special. We had that butterflies in your tummy, can't eat, can't stop smiling soul mate love," Heather captioned her post. "You are my very best friend in the whole world. The man I look up to, admire, adore, best daddy, best heart, kind & most important loyal and honest."

"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you," she added. 

Tarek echoed Heather's post, saying he would be "lost" without her.

"The second our eyes connected and we smiled at each other I knew my life would never be the same," he wrote. "She is incredible in every way possible and most importantly she loves and adores Tay and Bray."

"I just love you to the moon and back. You are my everything and you complete me. I'd be lost without you," Tarek said of Heather.

The couple announced their engagement with matching Instagram posts.

Tarek popped the question on the beach, which Heather said was a complete surprise in a follow-up post.

Tarek told People he knew he wanted to make Heather his wife after seeing how she was with his children.

"We were sitting on the boat one day, and I looked over, and she had Taylor in one arm and Brayden in the other arm, and they're all three cuddling," he said. "That was the moment I knew I had to make her my wife and bring her into the family." 

People also reported that Tarek proposed with an eight-carat diamond. The emerald-cut ring sits on a gold band.

The pair bought a home in Newport Beach, California, where they first met, as People reported.

"Tarek originally bought it as a flip but then they decided to make it their new home," a representative for the couple told People at the time.

As US Weekly reported, Heather revealed on Instagram that she got a tattoo on her hip that read, "Yes sir, Mr. El Moussa" as a Valentine's Day present for her fiancé. 

She later deleted the post after fans reacted with mixed reviews, according to People.

People reported that Tarek yelled at Christina Haack on the "Flip or Flop" set and compared her to Heather.

"Look at me, look at me, look at me. It's called winning," Tarek said to Haack, according to People. The publication also reported that he called his ex-wife a "washed-up loser" during the incident.

The couple added their puppy Bugz to their family as a surprise for Taylor and Brayden, as Tarek wrote on his Instagram.

"It's one of those moments where you know your kids will look back on it and remember it forever," he wrote.

The couple got married near Santa Barbara, California, with Heather wearing a Galia Lahav gown. They filmed the wedding for an HGTV special, "Tarek & Heather: The Big I Do."

"I'm a WIFE!!! Yesterday feels like a dream… so perfect, filled with so much love and magic," Heather captioned an Instagram post about the event. "Truly everything I've ever wanted and more. I love you so much @therealtarekelmoussa and now I get to say we're officially MARRIED!!"

Heather also shared on Instagram that she and Tarek said vows to his children during the wedding.

"When your daddy and I decided to be fully committed, I was 100% committing myself to you too," Heather said she told the kids in her vows. "I am beyond honored to be your 'bonus' mommy. Thank you for allowing me to love your daddy with all my heart. I love you both more than you will ever know."

Heather told Today that she didn't think she wanted to have children until she met Tarek.

Heather went on to tell Today that she found out she had a low egg count in her 20s, so she decided to freeze her eggs and create embryos through IVF after they got married to transfer in the summer of 2022. Heather documented the process on social media.

"I'm glad I decided to share my story on Instagram because struggling with infertility can feel very isolating," she told Today. "I also want to encourage women to think about their fertility in their 20s."

On April 12, Heather posted a black-and-white photo on Instagram of fresh tattoos on her and Tarek's arms.

Both were inked with "10.23.2021," their wedding date, on their forearms. Heather's wrist had a smaller "TEM" tattoo, while Tarek's had "HEM" in the same place to represent each other's initials. 

In March 2022, "Flip or Flop" ended amid reports that filming had become "too intimate" for Tarek and Haack to film.

Then, Heather seemed to confirm that Tarek had compared her and Haack during the "Selling Sunset" reunion, which aired on May 6, 2022.

Just three days later, the Daily Mail published photos of Heather and Haack at Brayden's soccer game, in which the pair appeared to be arguing. In separate photos, a coach seemed to be separating Tarek from Josh Hall.

Heather and Haack released a joint statement on May 11, saying they had resolved "a personal matter." On May 13, they posed for a photo together and said they were focused on co-parenting after Brayden underwent an emergency appendectomy, which Haack said was a "wake-up call."

HGTV announced the series "The Flipping El Moussas" in a press release provided to Business Insider.

The press release said the show would document Tarek and Heather combining their home flipping and renovation skills, as well as their IVF journey, a move, and a renovation. 

"We are so excited to bring viewers into our world to see the ins and outs of our day-to-day lives," the El Moussas said in a statement included in the same press release.

"As busy parents and successful real estate experts, fans can watch us as we go from making breakfast for the kids in the morning, to making business deals by the afternoon," the statement said. "The cameras are capturing our journey like never before and we can't wait to share it all."

"Bringing our expertise together from each of our worlds has been so much fun," Tarek and Heather wrote in an Instagram post about the series. "We are working on all new flipping projects - from multimillion-dollar homes in Los Angeles to a tiny cabin in Big Bear, California, and everything in between that we cannot wait to share with you."

"We'll also be giving a little peek into our everyday lives with the kids, our loved ones and our journey to grow our family," the post went on to say.

The El Moussas announced on Instagram that they were expecting a baby in early 2023.

They opened up about the pregnancy to People, saying it was a "huge shock" because they were scheduling an appointment to implant an embryo via IVF when Heather found out she was pregnant naturally. 

"We just weren't expecting this," Heather told People. "We had just gone through IVF. We had embryos on ice. We had a plan."

"I think when you least expect it, and there's no stress in your life, the world just brought us what was meant to be," she added. "I'm so excited that it happened like this."

Tarek and Heather shared that their third child would be a son with an Instagram reel in which they popped blue confetti poppers alongside Brayden and Taylor. 

Heather posted on her story that she was "shaking" and her heart was racing ahead of the reveal.

Heather and Tarek announced on Instagram that their son, Tristan El Moussa, was born on January 31, 2023.

Speaking to Business Insider just over a month after Tristan's birth, Heather said her close bond with Taylor and Brayden made her want to have a child.

"They're very special kids, and I'm so in love with them, and that's what made me want to have a baby, as well as my love for Tarek," Heather said. "This is the kind of relationship you dream of and hope for. I found the love of my life, and I wanted to create a beautiful baby with him."

The series spotlighted the couple flipping homes, and it gave peeks at their home life together as well.

Ahead of the premiere, the couple told BI that working together only made them closer.

"We love being together," Heather told BI. "Tarek and I really trust each other, and we value each other and respect each other."

The show was confirmed for a second season in July 2023, and it premiered in December 2024.

HGTV announced it would reunite Haack and Tarek on-screen alongside their new spouses in a house-flipping competition series called "The Flip Off."

In the show, the El Moussas were set to compete against Haack and Hall to see who could make the most money off of a flip. However, Haack and Hall split in July 2024 after filming had begun, so Haack ended up competing in the series solo.

Tarek and Heather expressed their support for Haack amid her divorce to paparazzi on July 23, 2024, as E! News reported.

"We support her," Heather said.

"Whatever she needs, we're here to help," Tarek echoed.

The series premiere featured some dramatic moments, including an emotional conversation between Tarek and Haack about her divorce.

Although they're competing against each other on the show, Haack and the El Moussas seem to be on good terms, with Haack and Heather hugging each other on the show.

The El Moussas and Haack even told BI before the premiere that they were open to flipping a house as a team.

Anderson was photographed sitting behind Trump Jr., Guilfoyle, and other members of the Trump family on the third and fourth days of the Republican National Convention.

Guilfoyle was still wearing her engagement ring.

Anderson and Trump Jr. were photographed dining together at the Honor Bar, a restaurant located about 4 miles from Mar-a-Lago, The Daily Mail reported.

Neither responded to a request for comment in September about the nature of their relationship.

Tickets to the fundraising dinner cost $100,000 a couple and admission to a fireside chat cost $30,000 a couple, the Palm Beach Daily News reported. Serving on the host committee of the event required a $250,000 contribution.

Anderson and Trump Jr. were photographed holding hands as they left Buccan, a restaurant in Palm Beach, on Anderson's 38th birthday, The Daily Mail reported.

Anderson also shared a photo on her Instagram story of a bouquet of flowers and a card reading, "Many have said you're aging out but I think you're perfect...happy birthday!" She tagged Trump Jr. in the post, appearing to indicate that he was the sender.

Later that month, Anderson joined Trump Jr. at the Trump family's New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago.

While Trump Jr. did not officially confirm that he and Guilfoyle had broken off their engagement, he said in a statement to Page Six that they "will always keep a special bond" and that he "could not be more proud of her and the important role she'll continue to play in my father's administration" as ambassador to Greece.

Anderson and Trump Jr. attended an inaugural reception at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, DC, on January 18. On January 19, they held hands and danced to "YMCA" by The Village People at the Turning Point USA Inaugural-Eve Ball.

Anderson and Trump Jr. traveled to the Capitol Rotunda together on Inauguration Day but sat separately for the ceremony. Trump Jr. sat with his family members on the inaugural platform, while Anderson took her seat in the crowd.

Guilfoyle was also seated in the audience for the inauguration, but not with the Trump family as she had been at the RNC.

President Trump was the first sitting president to ever attend the Super Bowl. He was joined by Trump Jr., Anderson, and other family members and associates to watch the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

Trump Jr. and Anderson were photographed cuddling in their seats in the House chamber before Trump's speech began.

Trump Jr. and Anderson attended the mfAR Palm Beach Gala in support of the organization's AIDS research and global HIV prevention.

Other celebrities in attendance included Martha Stewart, who received mfAR's Award of Inspiration, Tommy Hilfiger, and Ricky Martin.

The gala was held days after People magazine reported that Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, is dating Tiger Woods. Vanessa Trump and Woods did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

JD Vance served as a public affairs marine in Iraq, liaising between service members and members of the press. After his military service, he majored in political science and philosophy at Ohio State University.

Usha Vance grew up in a suburb of San Diego. Her parents are Indian immigrants.

Usha Vance told Fox News in June that her parents' Hindu faith was "one of the things that made them such good parents, that make them very good people."

She was a registered Democrat until 2014.

In law school, Usha Vance served as executive development editor of the Yale Law Journal and managing editor of the Yale Journal of Law and Technology, according to a bio on the website of her former employer, Munger, Tolles & Olson, that has since been removed.

She also worked pro bono with the Supreme Court Advocacy Clinic, the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic, and the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project.

Usha Vance told NBC News in 2017 that she and JD Vance took all of their classes together and were friends before they started dating. When they were assigned to work on a brief together, Usha Vance said she was impressed by his diligence.

"I've never seen anybody so starstruck," their law school professor, Amy Chua, said of JD Vance in an interview with NBC News. "It was love at first sight."

Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019, The American Conservative reported. Usha Vance was raised Hindu.

When asked about their interfaith marriage in a June interview with Fox News, Usha Vance said: "There are a lot of things that we just agree on, I think, especially when it comes to family life, how to raise our kids. So I think the answer really is that we just talk a lot."

JD Vance's memoir details his working-class upbringing and the lives of poor, white Americans. He also wrote about how Chua, his professor, encouraged him to focus on his relationship with Usha Vance as a Yale law student.

When JD Vance asked Chua to recommend him for a federal clerkship, she warned him that it's "the type of thing that destroys relationships."

"Amy's advice stopped me from making a life-altering decision. It prevented me from moving a thousand miles away from the person I eventually married," Vance wrote.

"Most important, it allowed me to accept my place at this unfamiliar institution — it was okay to chart my own path and okay to put a girl above some shortsighted ambition," he continued. "My professor gave me permission to be me."

Vance worked at Mithril Capital, a VC firm backed by Peter Thiel, in 2016. One former coworker previously told Business Insider that Vance was often away from the job promoting his book, "Hillbilly Elegy."

Thiel ended up being instrumental in Vance's rise to power in politics, donating $15 million to his Senate campaign and encouraging Trump to choose Vance as his running mate, The New York Times reported.

Vance went on to work at Revolution, a VC firm in Washington, DC, before founding his own firm, Narya Capital, in 2019.

Meanwhile, Usha Vance worked as a litigator at Munger, Tolles & Olson before leaving to clerk for Judge Brett Kavanaugh in the US Court of Appeals and Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts. Following her clerkships, she returned to Munger, Tolles & Olson, according to a bio on the firm's website that has since been removed.

Their first child, Ewan, was born a month before Usha Vance began her clerkship with Chief Justice Roberts, NBC News reported. They also have another son, Vivek, and a daughter, Mirabel.

In the ad, Usha Vance described her husband as "an incredible father" and "my best friend."

In an interview with Newsmax about the ad, Usha Vance also responded to media reports about Vance's dramatic transformation from a "Never Trumper" to a staunch Trump supporter.

"Sometimes people say that he's changed a lot, but the truth is I've known him now for so many years and he's always been so true to himself," she said.

"I'm not raring to change anything about our lives right now, but I really believe in JD and I love him, so we'll see what happens with our lives," she told Fox News in June 2024.

On the first day of the Republican National Convention, when Trump announced JD Vance as his vice presidential pick, a spokesperson for Munger, Tolles & Olsen told ABC News that Usha Vance had left the firm.

"Usha has been an excellent lawyer and colleague, and we thank her for her years of work and wish her the best in her future career," the spokesperson said.

Usha Vance said that when they first met, JD Vance approached their differences "with curiosity and enthusiasm."

"Although he's a meat and potatoes kind of guy, he adapted to my vegetarian diet and learned to cook food from my mother, Indian food," Usha Vance said in her speech. "Before I knew it, he'd become an integral part of my family, a person I could not imagine living without."

After white nationalist Nick Fuentes questioned JD Vance's ability to "support white identity" with an Indian wife, he voiced support for his spouse.

"Look, I love my wife so much. I love her because she's who she is," JD Vance said in an interview with Megyn Kelly in July. "Obviously, she's not a white person, and we've been attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha."

He also hit back against the attacks on ABC News' "This Week," telling host Jonathan Karl in August, "Look, my attitude to these people attacking my wife is, she's beautiful, she's smart. What kind of man marries Usha? A very smart man and a very lucky man, importantly."

He continued, "Don't attack my wife. She's out of your league."

Usha Vance appeared alongside her husband and members of the Trump family at the campaign's election night event in Palm Beach, Florida.

"THANK YOU!" Vance wrote on X after the election results came in. "To my beautiful wife for making it possible to do this. To President Donald J. Trump, for giving me such an opportunity to serve our country at this level. And to the American people, for their trust. I will never stop fighting for ALL of you."

JD Vance was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Usha Vance's former boss when she clerked for him in the US Court of Appeals.

The vice president attended the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris and the Munich Security Conference. He and Usha Vance also visited the Dachau concentration camp in Germany.

They brought their three children along on Air Force Two.

Since winning a second non-consecutive term in the White House, Trump has doubled down on his intention to acquire Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory where the US has a military base. The governments of Greenland and Denmark have maintained that it is not for sale, but Trump has said he would not rule out using force.

In March, the White House announced that Usha Vance would embark on a solo trip to Greenland to "visit historical sites, learn about Greenlandic heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersua, Greenland's national dogsled race" in March. The government of Greenland said that they had not invited any delegations to visit, and Greenland's Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede called the trip "very aggressive." Trump said that Greenland had asked the US to visit.

Usha Vance's trip was subsequently scaled back to visiting Pituffik Space Base, the US military's northernmost installation in Greenland. In a video, JD Vance announced he would travel with her.

"There was so much excitement around Usha's visit to Greenland this Friday that I decided I didn't want her to have all that fun by herself, and so I'm going to join her," he said.

"Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance are proud to visit the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland this Friday," Taylor Van Kirk, JD Vance's press secretary, told Business Insider on Thursday. "As the vice president has said, previous US leaders have neglected Arctic security, while Greenland's Danish rulers have neglected their security obligations to the island. The security of Greenland is critical in ensuring the security of the rest of the world, and the Vice President looks forward to learning more about the island."

In the summer of 2010, Lively and Reynolds were cast as the lead roles in "Green Lantern" and made their first public appearance together at Comic-Con in San Diego.

They weren't a couple at the time — Lively was still dating "Gossip Girl" costar Penn Badgley, while Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson.

Shortly after filming started, Lively and Badgley ended their relationship. An insider told Us Weekly they had been keeping the news quiet for a while but were still friends.

Not long after, Reynolds and Johansson released a joint statement confirming their divorce.

It read, "After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage. We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."

After months of reports, a source confirmed to People that the "Green Lantern" costars were "very much a couple" and that they were "really happy together."

Lively was also spotted leaving Reynolds' apartment on his birthday weekend.

After months of keeping things relatively low-key, the pair got married at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, in front of their family and friends.

Although they did not release photos, they shared details about Lively's couture ball gown by Marchesa, their giant dessert table, and the bouquets.

Years later, in an interview with Fast Company, Reynolds apologized for his and Lively's choice to get married at that plantation, which had enslaved Black people.

"It's something we'll always be deeply and unreservedly sorry for," he said. "It's impossible to reconcile."

In an interview with Allure, Lively spoke about how happy she was with Reynolds, saying, "Right now, I'm so peaceful. I've never been happier in my life."

She also made it clear she wanted kids, saying, "I've always wanted a big family. Oh, I'd love 30 (children) if I could."

The couple hit the red carpet for the first time together as a couple at the Met Gala in 2014. They both wore Gucci.

In an interview with Vogue, Lively wasn't shy when it came to expressing her love for her husband.

She said, "Everything we do in life we do together. If I'm working on a movie, he helps me with my character; I do the same with him. Picking out a coffee table. What we're going to eat. He's a beautiful writer — he's written a lot of stuff for us. And he's got a great barometer and he knows me, so he will tell me if it's not as good as it can be."

Lively took to her then-new lifestyle website, Preserve (which has since been deleted), to announce her first pregnancy. She posted a photo of herself among other photos of other pregnant people.

"Congratulations to all the expecting mothers out there," she wrote at the time. 

In January 2015, Lively gave birth to the couple's first child,

After a few months without many details about the baby, Reynolds revealed their daughter's name on "The Today Show."

He said, "It's James. Everyone knows. I didn't want to be the first guy screaming it out to the media, because as we know, little girls turn into teenage girls and little teenage girls sometimes scan through the archives and go, 'Why did you do that?'"

At an amFAR New York Gala, Reynolds told Entertainment Weekly they were "buddies" when they first met.

Apparently, they went on a double date together, except she was with another man and he was with another woman.

He added, "That was the most awkward date ... it was weird at first, but we were buddies for a long time. I think it's the best way to have a relationship is to start as friends."

In October 2016, the couple welcomed their second child. 

Us Weekly later confirmed that the couple had named their second daughter Inez.

In an interview with O magazine, Reynolds talked about the date when he knew he wanted to marry Lively.

He said, "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.' And then I walked her home."

"And, uh, you know, I don't really need to go into what happened after that," he added. 

Lively seemed to announce her third pregnancy in May 2018 while attending the "Detective Pikachu" premiere to support her husband, who voiced the lead character in the film. 

In October, multiple publications confirmed that the couple welcomed their third child.

Swift, who wrote the song "Betty" for her album "folklore" that features the names of Lively and Reynolds' other two kids, James and Inez, seemingly confirmed the couple's third child's name is Betty.

"I met Blake on the darkest crease in the anus of the universe called 'Green Lantern,'" Reynolds recalled on the "SmartLess" podcast in July 2021, per HollywoodLife.

He said he made the first move when they were both going on a train to Boston. 

"Next thing you know, she was going to Boston, I was going to Boston and I said, 'Well, I'll ride with you,'" he said. "We got on the train and we rode together. I was just begging her to sleep with me."

In September, Us Weekly confirmed that Lively was pregnant with the couple's fourth child. 

The actor seemed to reveal her pregnancy while attending the 10th annual Forbes Power Women's Summit. She wore a gold minidress and an onlooker told Us Weekly that she was not "trying to hide" her pregnancy. 

According to E!, she seemed to allude to her growing family during the event, saying, "I just like to create. Whether that's baking or storytelling or businesses or humans, I just really like creating."

They welcomed their fourth child on the day of the 2023 Super Bowl. 

The couple attended the premiere of Reynolds' film "Deadpool & Wolverine" together.

While walking the carpet and sending love to his kids, Reynolds revealed their fourth child's name is Olin, according to People. 

In August, the couple attended the New York premiere of Lively's film "It Ends With Us."

Lively starred in the romantic drama alongside Justin Baldoni, who was also the film's director.

Months after the release of "It Ends With Us," Baldoni and Lively became involved in a lot of public controversy. Reynolds has also become a part of the ongoing feud and legal battle. 

In December, Lively filed a legal complaint against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment, conspiring to damage her public reputation, and retaliation. The New York Times detailed her allegations in an article that same month.

Shortly after, Baldoni filed a libel lawsuit against the Times for its story about Lively's complaint. The same day, Lively filed a suit against Baldoni, his team, and others. 

In January, Baldoni filed a countersuit against Lively, Reynolds, and others. Baldoni pushed back on claims he sexually harassed Lively and orchestrated a smear campaign against her, instead accusing her and Reynolds of trying to damage his career. 

The controversy and legal battle is ongoing. For more details, read Business Insider's in-depth timeline of the Lively and Baldoni feud. 

Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston and Jolie had recently filed for divorce from Billy Bob Thornton at the time of filming around 2003.

People reported that in a 2006 interview, Jolie confirmed to Vogue that they began developing feelings for each other. She said, "I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, 'God, I can't wait to get to work.'"

She added: "It took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe. And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration."

After months of rumors that Pitt and Jolie had an affair on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," Pitt and Aniston released a statement about their separation to People: "For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media."

Shortly after the announcement, People reported that Aniston filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."

A month later, Us Weekly published photos of Pitt and Jolie with Jolie's son, Maddox, in Kenya. 

In September 2005, Aniston told Vanity Fair: "The world was shocked, and I was shocked."

The now-iconic spread included many photos of the two as a couple with a family. 

That same month, People reported that Jolie adopted 6-month-old Zahara from Ethiopia with Pitt by her side.

Less than a year after Pitt's divorce from Aniston was finalized, People confirmed Jolie and Pitt were expecting a child.

That same month, a judge granted a request to change Maddox and Zahara's last names to Jolie-Pitt.

In May, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was born in Namibia. Their obstetrician told People that Pitt was in the operating room the whole time.

In March, Pax, 3, became the newest member of the Jolie-Pitt family, after the couple traveled to Vietnam to adopt him.

Reuters reported that Jolie supposedly filed the papers without Pitt because Vietnamese law does not allow unmarried couples to adopt children, but single individuals can. 

Jolie announced she was expecting twins at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival,

She told Access Hollywood, "We weren't expecting twins. So it did shock us."

Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline were born in Nice, France in July.

A month later, they appeared on the cover of People. Jolie talked about their family life in an interview with the magazine, saying, "It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time."

In February 2010, News of the World reported the couple had split. The couple later sued the publication for the false report.

In July, BBC News reported that the couple was paid damages from the company that owns the newspaper and planned to donate it to their charity, the Jolie-Pitt foundation. 

Pitt's manager confirmed to People that the couple was engaged, saying: "It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy. There's no date set at this time." 

Jolie wrote a New York Times op-ed about undergoing the surgery, writing: "I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive … Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries."

She added: "We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has."

Pitt and Jolie privately wed at their Chateau Miraval in France and all of their six children were involved in the ceremony.

Maddox and Pax walked their mom down the aisle, Zahara and Vivienne were flower girls, and Shiloh and Knox were ring bearers. Jolie wore an Atelier Versace gown and a veil that featured designs from her kids' drawings embroidered into the fabric.

Pitt and Jolie starred in their second film together, a relationship drama called "By The Sea" which Jolie directed.

After an annual blood test showed markers that could be "a sign of early cancer," Jolie decided to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed as a preventative measure.

One of the last times Pitt and Jolie were publicly spotted together as a couple was in July 2016, when they were photographed with Shiloh.

Prior to this, they had been apart for months while working on various projects.

Citing irreconcilable differences, Jolie officially filed for divorce. She petitioned for primary custody of the six children.

In September, during a family flight on the couple's private jet, Pitt was reportedly "drinking heavily." Early reports alleged that Pitt physically hurt 15-year-old Maddox Pitt-Jolie during the flight, but later reports stated that Jolie separated Pitt from their kids.

Pitt was later investigated by The LA Department of Children and Family Services and the FBI, but both cleared Pitt of all charges in November.

The couple then hired a private judge and reportedly signed agreements to keep the details of their case private. After that, they were relatively quiet about their split for a while. 

Jolie's attorneys said in a court filing that Pitt hadn't paid any "meaningful" child support since they split. It was not clear at the time of the filing what constituted "meaningful" support.  

Pitt's lawyers said in return that Pitt had in fact paid Jolie more than $1.3 million in contributions over the past two years and that Pitt gave Jolie an $8 million loan to buy a new property. Her camp denied that he was meeting his legal obligations for child support. Pitt's attorneys also accused Jolie via court filing of trying to "manipulate media coverage" of their divorce. 

Though their divorce was still in progress, Judge John W. Ouderkirk entered a judgment saying the couple was no longer married. Her name was also restored to Jolie, not Jolie Pitt.

Business Insider reported that the private judge hired by both stars awarded Pitt more custody of his children following months of witness testimony.

"Pitt has always been seeking the opportunity to have more time with his children and prioritized their well being while the other side did everything to try and stop that," a source familiar with the situation told BI in May 2021.

Pitt and Jolie purchased a controlling stake in Château Miraval and its vineyard behind the popular wine in 2008. The two were also married on the estate in 2014. 

According to court documents, lawyers for Pitt say Jolie sold her stake in the Château to the Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler without her ex-husband's knowledge.

"She sold her interest with the knowledge and intention that Shefler and his affiliates would seek to control the business to which Pitt had devoted himself and to undermine Pitt's investment in Miraval," the lawsuit claimed.

The lawsuit continued to state that Jolie's sale was intended to cause Pitt "gratuitous harm" after he had "poured money and sweat equity" into the business. Pitt's lawyers also said that the pair had previously agreed to never sell their respective financial interests in the Château without the other's consent.

According to a leaked FBI report obtained by Rolling Stone and Puck, Jolie alleged in an interview with the FBI that Pitt "grabbed her by her head," shook her, "pushed her into the bathroom wall," and repeatedly punched the ceiling of the private plane during an "outburst" about 90 minutes into a flight from Paris to Los Angeles on September 14, 2016.

The report added that Jolie alleged Pitt was intoxicated during the flight, saying that he poured beer on her at one point. Jolie told the FBI that by the time the plane landed, there was $25,000 worth of damage from Pitt spilling red wine, Rolling Stone reported.

Rolling Stone reported that Jolie alleged her children were scared at the time of the incident. She told the FBI that one child called Pitt a "prick," prompting him to lunge at the kid, only to be stopped when Jolie grabbed him from behind "like in a choke hold."

As previously mentioned, BI reported in 2016 that the FBI cleared Pitt of child abuse allegations regarding that incident.

Jolie and Pitt signed off on their divorce on December 30, 2024, People reported.

No details of the divorce settlement were revealed.

"More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family," Jolie's lawyer James Simon told BI in a statement. "This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over." 

Pitt's representative declined to comment when contacted by BI. 

Three-year-old Jimmy met Rosalynn Smith when she was just a newborn. Lillian Carter, Jimmy's mother, worked as a nurse and helped deliver Rosalynn.

Jimmy's younger sister, Ruth, became best friends with Rosalynn. In the 2020 book "What Makes a Marriage Last" by Marlo Thomas and Phil Donahue, Rosalynn shared that Jimmy's sister is in part responsible for their relationship.

"I always said I fell in love with a photograph of him on her [Ruth's] bedroom wall," Rosalynn said.

"Ruth and I plotted to get me together with [Jimmy]. She'd call and say 'Come over! He's here!' and I'd go flying over to her house, but he'd be gone again," she told the authors.

Before his final year at the Naval Academy, and before Rosalynn's second year of college, the future couple went on their first date.

"I was cruising around with my sister Ruth and her boyfriend, just looking for a date, and I picked up Rosalynn in front of the Methodist church," he told the authors for "What Makes a Marriage Last."

The two then went out to the movies. "I kissed her on that first date. I remember that vividly," he said in the book.

He also recalled telling his mother the next morning that Rosalynn would be his wife one day.

"Rosalynn was the one I wanted to marry," he said.

Less than a year after their first date, Jimmy asked Rosalynn to marry him. She initially rejected his proposal, because she wanted to prioritize completing her education. 

Later that year, in May 1946, he proposed to her again. This time, she said yes.

The couple tied the knot when Jimmy was 21 and Rosalynn was just 19. They got married in Plains, Georgia, at a Methodist church.

Rosalynn gave birth to their first child, Jack, in Portsmouth, Virginia, in 1947 while Jimmy was still serving in the US Navy. 

Jack went to law school at the University of Georgia, and he later ran for senate in Nevada in 2006. Although he succeeded in becoming the Democratic nominee, he lost against the Republican incumbent.

Chip was born in Honolulu, where Carter was stationed with the Navy at the time.

After working on his family's peanut farm, Chip Carter served on the city council in Plains and later worked on the Democratic National Committee. He then worked at Friendship Force, a nonprofit organization focused on building international connections between people.

He was born in New London, Connecticut.

Jeff spent the first years of his marriage to his wife, Annette, living in the White House.

In 1978, he graduated from George Washington University, where he studied geography with a specialty in computer cartography. Later, he became a co-founder of Computer Mapping Consultants, the Bryan Times reported.

After his father died in July 1953, Jimmy Carter left the Navy to move his family back to Plains, where he worked for the family's peanut farm.

"We developed a partnership when we were working in the farm supply business, and it continued when Jimmy got involved in politics," Rosalynn told the Associated Press in 2021. "I knew more on paper about the business than he did. He would take my advice about things."

Once home, Carter eventually turned his attention to politics, serving as a Georgia state senator from 1963 to 1967.

In addition to being the only daughter of Jimmy and Rosalynn, Amy is the only Carter child who spent their younger years in the White House.

She initially attended Brown University, but she eventually completed her bachelor's degree at Memphis College of Art in 1991 before earning her master's in art history from Tulane University in 1996, The Washington Post reported. She is now a board member for The Carter Center.

Carter served as the governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1957. During her time as the first lady of Georgia, Rosalynn focused on helping Georgians suffering from mental health issues. She served on the Governor's Commission to Improve Services to the Mentally and Emotionally Handicapped.

Jason James Carter was born in 1975 to parents Jack Carter and Julie Langford. In 2010, Jason James Carter was elected to the Georgia Senate, although his grandfather didn't campaign for him until just before the election.

"I needed to be more than Jimmy Carter's grandson and I needed to be sure that I could introduce myself and my vision for this state in an effective way," Jason James Carter told ABC News in 2010.

In 2014, he followed in his grandfather's footsteps and ran for governor of Georgia, albeit unsuccessfully. 

James Carter IV, the son of Chip and Caron Carter, also works in politics as an opposition researcher.

The Carters have a total of 25 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Carter announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination on December 12, 1974. Rosalynn was on board from the beginning.

"My wife is much more political," he told the Associated Press in 2021.

She added, "I love it. I love campaigning. I had the best time. I was in all the states in the United States."

The White House's official website says Rosalynn's "belief in her husband's ability to lead the nation was communicated in a quiet, friendly manner that made her an effective campaigner."

Carter defeated incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford to win the presidency.

At the 1977 presidential inauguration, the couple shared a kiss after Carter was sworn in as the 39th president of the United States in Washington, DC.

As the first lady, Rosalynn focused on mental health advocacy. For one year, between 1977 and 1978, she was the honorary chairperson of the President's Commission on Mental Health. In this role, she oversaw a team of social workers, doctors, and lobbyists to enact policy change related to issues of mental illness.

Rosalynn was a political activist whose guidance Carter frequently solicited on both foreign and domestic policy decisions.

In 1979, then-President Carter announced that he would run for reelection. "Let us commit ourselves together to a rebirth of the American spirit," he said in the last leg of his speech, before planting a kiss on Rosalynn's cheek.

He lost the 1980 election to his Republican opponent, Ronald Reagan.

In a discussion about the then-upcoming 1984 election with UPI, Rosalynn said, "I think the most important thing is to beat Reagan. I think it's a tragedy what he has done. I feel sorry for who follows him in office."

She praised the decisions her husband made while in office, saying, "Jimmy made the world a safer place with the Panama Canal Treaty, the Camp David agreement, and SALT 2."

In her memoir, "First Lady from Plains," she added, "I would be out there campaigning right now if Jimmy would run again. I miss the world of politics."

"I'd like people to know that we were right, that what Jimmy Carter was doing was best for our country, and that people made a mistake by not voting for him," she wrote.

After Carter lost the 1980 election, the couple moved back to Plains, Georgia, in January 1981.

In 2018, The Washington Post reported that Carter is the only president in recent history to return to the house he lived in before the White House. The couple moved back to the ranch-style home they'd built, which was valued at $167,000 — less than the cost of the Secret Service armored cars that follow him around. 

The Carter Center aims to increase human rights, put an end to human suffering, and promote democracy worldwide. Included in The Carter Center's provisions is a Mental Health Program, which aimed to continue the work that Rosalynn started while her husband held office.

Thirty years after its founding, in 2012, the Carters were interviewed by Georgia Trend, and the former president discussed his intentions for the organization.

"I imagined something like a small Camp David, where a nation that had a civil war going on or where a civil war might break out, could come, and we would negotiate between the two opposing sides to try to bring peace, or prevent a war," he said.

The accomplishments of the organization, such as monitoring elections around the world and nearly eradicating the Guinea worm disease, exceeded the couple's wishes.

"But we never dreamed when we started 30 years ago that we'd be involved in elections around the world — no one had ever done it before. And we never dreamed that we'd get involved in tropical, neglected diseases, and that has become the overwhelming thing we do," he said.

After helping on a project in Americus, Georgia — 10 miles from their hometown, Plains — the Carters "quickly realized that our mission closely aligned with their values," according to Habitat for Humanity.

Later that year, the couple established the Carter Work Project — it would later become known as the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project — by helping renovate a building in New York City.

According to the organization, the Carters have since worked alongside 104,000 volunteers in 14 countries to build and repair more than 4,300 homes.

When asked in the joint People interview for the secret to a long marriage, Rosalynn said, "I'd say space. One of the hardest times was when we came home from the White House. It was the first time we'd been together in the house all day every day. So I got my office in what was a bedroom, and his is in what was the garage."

As for his secrets to a long life, Carter credited exercise and his wife's cooking.

"I exercise and eat right," he said. "My wife is an expert dietitian and a good cook."

Rosalynn added, "I fix fruits and vegetables. Cereal. He never turns down ice cream."

In 2019, Carter became the longest-living president in US history. George H.W. Bush, who died in 2018, had lived until 94.

"It's hard to live until you're 95 years old," Carter told People magazine. "I think the best explanation for that is to marry the best spouse: someone who will take care of you and engage and do things to challenge you and keep you alive and interested in life."

The Carters continued to make appearances at high-profile political events including Democratic National Conventions and presidential inaugurations — the last inauguration they attended was Donald Trump's in 2017. The couple also publicly supported Democratic candidates, including Raphael Warnock in the 2020 Senate race. 

"President Jimmy Carter and First Lady Rosalynn Carter's legacy as human rights champions and humanitarians is an inspiration to us all," Warnock wrote on Facebook following the endorsement.

"At the end of the day, we try to become reconciled and overcome all the differences that arose during the day," he said in a 2021 interview with PBS.

"We also make up and give each other a kiss before we go to sleep still in bed. And we always read the Bible every night, which adds a different aspect to life. So, we really try to become completely reconciled each night before we go to sleep," Carter added.

In their 2014 interview with People, Carter confirmed they had been reading to each other every night for 40 years.

In a statement in February 2023, the Carter Center said he "has the full support of his family and his medical team" while receiving at-home hospice care.

In May 2023, their grandson Jason Carter said Carter remained in good spirits and was enjoying peanut-butter ice cream, the Associated Press reported.

"The Carter family is sharing that former First Lady Rosalynn Carter has dementia," the organization wrote in a statement on its website in May 2023. "She continues to live happily at home with her husband, enjoying spring in Plains and visits with loved ones."

It added, "We hope sharing our family's news will increase important conversations at kitchen tables and in doctor's offices around the country."

In a statement, the Carter Center wrote that Rosalynn Carter died "peacefully, with her family by her side" at home in Plains, Georgia.

"Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished," Jimmy Carter said of his wife of 77 years. "She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me."

At Rosalynn Carter's memorial service in Atlanta, Carter attended the event with a blanket over his legs embroidered with images of himself and Rosalynn, captioned "The Carters."

The blanket's design also honored their hometown with the words "Plains, Georgia, Est. 1855" and dogwood flowers that grow throughout Georgia.

Carter slept at the Carter Center the night before the memorial service because "he never wants to be very far from her," Paige Smith, the Carter Center's CEO, told the Associated Press.

Carter died in Plains, Georgia, at the home he once shared with Rosalynn.

"My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love," Chip Carter said in a statement released by The Carter Center. "My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs."

Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. were photographed together at events in New York City in 2007 and 2008. At the time, they were in other relationships.

Guilfoyle was married to Democratic politician Gavin Newsom from 2001 to 2006, and she was first lady of San Francisco during his time as mayor. After they divorced, she married businessman Eric Villency in 2006 and had a son in 2007. The couple divorced in 2009. 

Trump Jr. married model Vanessa Haydon in 2005. They divorced in March 2018 and share five children.

The Washington Post reported that Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. became friends when her son, Ronan, went to the same private school in Manhattan as his oldest daughter, Kai.

Guilfoyle started as a legal analyst at CNN and eventually became a co-host on the Fox News show "The Five." She left Fox News in 2018 amid reports of sexual harassment, for which the network paid her former assistant a multimillion-dollar settlement, and joined the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action.

Guilfoyle had been connected to the Trump family for years and was in talks to become the White House press secretary, USA Today reported.

Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle began dating in April 2018. That May, Page Six reported that they made their debut as a couple at a send-off party for the Trump administration's ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell.

Trump Jr. posted their first Instagram photo together with Bret Michaels of the band Poison. Guilfoyle also shared the image on her profile.

Trump Jr. thanked Guilfoyle in his convention speech as his "significant other," Vanity Fair reported.

"We're going to take her fishing tomorrow, then shooting," he said. "This is a miniature test to see if she really likes it, or if she's going to pretend to like it, but either way we're going to have a good time — or at least I will."

Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. were overheard calling each other pet names during a weekend in Southampton, New York, Page Six reported. Guilfoyle reportedly called Trump Jr. "Junior Mint," which Page Six speculated was a reference to his bank account, and Trump Jr. dubbed Guilfoyle "Pooh Bear."

Rosendale lost the 2018 midterm election, and Tester was reelected to a third term in the US Senate.

The tree lighting featured performances from Abby Anderson, "The Voice" contestant Spensha Baker, and "American Idol" contestant Gabby Barrett, according to the event's official website.

Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle sat in the front row at a Zang Toi runway show.

Guilfoyle spoke at a rally at the Williamsport Regional Airport in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, in May 2019, and Trump's 2020 campaign kick-off rally in Orlando that June. She and Trump Jr. were side-by-side at the events.

"She's definitely made Don Jr. more serious," R. Couri Hay, a New York publicist, told Business Insider as part of a profile on Guilfoyle. "She's had years and years on TV. She's helped guide and train and been very influential in Don's increasingly very secure, very formidable, very opinionated television personality."

"They are like the prom king and queen of MAGA land," a senior Trump advisor told Business Insider.

Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle were paid $50,000 from student activity fees for their appearance, The Washington Post reported. The event drew hundreds of student protesters outside the auditorium.

"You and your family have hurt a lot of people and put a lot of people through a lot of pain," co-host Meghan McCain said to Trump Jr., naming Trump's attacks on a family whose son was killed while serving in the US Army in Iraq. "Does all of this make you feel good?"

Trump Jr. replied, "I don't think any of that makes me feel good, but I do think that we got into this because we wanted to do what's right for America."

In an attempt to "end on a light note," co-host Abby Huntsman asked Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. about when they're getting married.

"Oh my God," Guilfoyle said, grinning at Trump Jr. and saying they were more focused on getting Trump reelected.

"President Trump is the leader who will rebuild the promise of America and ensure that every citizen can realize their American dream!" Guilfoyle said in her RNC speech. "Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for freedom and liberty and the American dream, the best is yet to come!"

Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle — both avid hunters — marked the launch of a coalition called Sportsmen for Trump.

Trump Jr. held the book signing at a Marriott Hotel in Long Island, New York.

As they expressed their gratitude to veterans and members of the military, Trump Jr. also joked on the Facebook Live stream that he was "reasonably thankful for Kimberly."

He also called Guilfoyle the "voice of reason" who makes sure that his tweets stay in check.

Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle kissed during a Republican National Committee Victory Rally at Dalton Regional Airport in Georgia.

Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock beat respective Republican challengers David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in the runoff election.

Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle skipped Biden's inauguration along with most of the Trump family, instead flying to Mar-a-Lago on Air Force One.

Upon arriving in Palm Beach, the couple began looking for waterfront homes in Admirals Cove, a gated community in Jupiter, Florida, The Palm Beach Post reported. They were reportedly in contracts to buy an $11 million seven-bedroom, 12-bathroom home that featured a wine room, theater, chef's kitchen, and guest wings. Guilfoyle herself was also looking at the $9.5 million two-story home next door that had six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

Trump Jr.'s speech, titled "Reigniting the Spirit of the American Dream," covered cancel culture, Liz Cheney, and "the MAGA movement as the future of the Republican Party."

The 9,200-square-foot Bridgehampton home sits on nearly 4 acres in a private gated community. It has seven bedrooms plus a heated outdoor pool, spa, and waterfall. 

The 11,300-square-foot waterfront estate features six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, People magazine reported.

"Tonight was extra special celebrating @donaldjtrumpjr's birthday," Guilfoyle captioned the Instagram photo. "Don, you are strong, smart, courageous, funny and the love of my life. I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together. Love you."

An unnamed source told The Daily Mail in January 2022 that the pair quietly got engaged on New Year's Eve in 2020, but neither Trump Jr. nor Guilfoyle had confirmed their engagement publicly.

"Kim has been wearing her engagement ring and both are very excited about blending their families," a source told People magazine.

"Falling in love with my fiancé more and more every day," Guilfoyle wrote in a Valentine's Day Instagram post. "@donaldjtrumpjr, you're my best friend, my support system and my forever guy. Happy Valentine's Day, I love you and can't wait for the adventures that lie ahead."

Eric Trump, Lara Trump, and Jared Kushner were also in attendance, but Ivanka Trump skipped the event, saying in a statement that she was stepping back from politics.

"I love taking care of Don, the way I saw my mother lovingly take care of my father," Guilfoyle told Metropolitan Palm Beach magazine. "I go out of my way to make sure he has everything he needs — making coffee in the morning, cooking our favorite meals, doing our families' laundry, and caring for our home."

Guilfoyle also said that Trump Jr. loves that she is "traditional yet fiercely independent."

"America is Trump country!" Guilfoyle said in her speech.

"Thanks for always being there no matter what the haters are throwing our way," Trump Jr. wrote on Instagram. "I love you."

The caption was accompanied by photos of Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle engaged in their hobbies of fishing and shooting, as well as a photo of them at the White House.

Guilfoyle delivered a forceful RNC speech, warning viewers that the country is "closer to World War III than any time in my life."

Trump Jr. was introduced by his daughter, 17-year-old Kai Trump. He praised his father's bravery after the Pennsylvania shooting, calling him "Trump tough."

In September, the Daily Mail reported that Trump Jr. was seen eating brunch with Bettina Anderson, a model, socialite, and founder and executive director of the wildlife conservation nonprofit Project Paradise. The outlet reported that Anderson was seen kissing Trump Jr. during their meal, raising questions about his relationship status with Guilfoyle.

Anderson did not respond to a request for comment.

Amid rumors about their relationship, Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. continued to appear publicly together. They joined other Trump family members in celebrating Trump's victory on election night in Palm Beach.

Trump Jr. and Anderson were photographed leaving a Palm Beach restaurant while holding hands on Anderson's birthday, the Daily Mail reported. Anderson also tagged Trump Jr. in a photo on her Instagram story of a bouquet of flowers with a card reading, "Many have said you're aging out but I think you're perfect...happy birthday!"

The following day, Donald Trump announced he'd chosen Guilfoyle to serve as ambassador to Greece in his second White House administration.

"For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics along with her sharp intellect make her supremely qualified to represent the United States, and safeguard its interests abroad."

Trump Jr. congratulated Guilfoyle in a post on X.

"I am so proud of Kimberly," he wrote. "She loves America and she always has wanted to serve the country as an Ambassador. She will be an amazing leader for America First."

Trump Jr. told Page Six that he and Guilfoyle "will always keep a special bond" and that he "could not be more proud of her and the important role she'll continue to play in my father's administration."

"She's been an undefeated prosecutor, national TV news star, a leader of the MAGA movement and close advisor to the president," he added. "The people of Greece are getting an absolute star and now the whole world will see it more than ever."

Guilfoyle did not share a statement with Page Six and did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

In September 2023, Keoghan and Carpenter attended a fashion show hosted by Givenchy during Paris Fashion Week.

E! News and DailyMail.com previously reported that this is when the rumored couple first met.

On December 3, 2023, DailyMail.com published pictures of Keoghan and Carpenter together and reported they went on a dinner date in Los Angeles.

Fans were confused by this news since Keoghan had yet to confirm whether he had split from longtime girlfriend Alyson Kierans. The pair have a son, Brando, and there were unconfirmed reports that the couple split in July 2023.

In January 2024, Keoghan mentioned Kierans in a cover story for GQ magazine in a way that suggested they were more co-parents than partners.

"She's done a great job, and she's an incredible mother," Keoghan said.

People reported, citing unnamed sources, that Keoghan and Carpenter went on a date to Luna Luna, an art exhibit in LA, on January 15.

A witness told People that the pair kissed during the date. Neither addressed the dating rumor.

A month later, Carpenter and Keoghan attended W Magazine's Grammys afterparty separately, but W reported that they hung out together inside.

"Meanwhile, Barry Keoghan chatted with friends as Sabrina Carpenter perched on his lap," a W staff member wrote.

The magazine also shared a picture of the pair on Instagram.

Later that month, People reported that Carpenter and Keoghan went on two more dates in LA.

In March, Carpenter performed her last few opening-act shows for Swift's Eras Tour.

During one of Carpenter's performances in Singapore, fans noticed Keoghan in the crowd and shared videos of him.

Then, on March 10, several outlets reported that Keoghan wore a friendship bracelet with Carpenter's name on it to the Oscars.

Later in March, Carpenter refused to comment on the dating rumors during an interview with Cosmopolitan, dodging a question about her dating life.

"The relationships that I actually want to put my energy into have to be so interesting or invigorating because they take me away from the other things I love," Carpenter said. "So yeah, it's fun and it's messy. I think I'm still just at this place where I'm really enjoying the newness of all of it."

In April, Carpenter performed on both weekends at the 2024 Coachella music festival.

During the first weekend, Keoghan was in the crowd, and fans shared multiple videos of him recording Carpenter or dancing to her songs.

In a video shared on social media, Carpenter seemed to wave toward Keoghan in the crowd during her performance.

Later in the day, fans posted a video on TikTok showing Keoghan and Carpenter hanging out with Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce.

During the second weekend of Coachella, Carpenter made a reference to Keoghan's hit film "Saltburn" during her performance.

During the outro for Carpenter's song "Nonsense" from her 2022 album "Emails I Can't Send," Carpenter normally ad-libbed a funny, risque verse.

That time she sang: "Made his knees so weak he had to spread mine / He's drinking my bath water like it's red wine / Coachella , see you back here when I headline."

The "drinking my bath water" line seemed like a reference to a scandalous scene in "Saltburn," where Keoghan's character drinks bathwater after it has been used by the man he is obsessed with.

On May 6, Keoghan and Carpenter arrived together at the 2024 Met Gala, making their first joint appearance on a red carpet.

After the event, Vogue published a video of the pair getting ready for the gala. In the clip, Carpenter is happy to see Keoghan when he walks in, and Keoghan appears to lean in for a kiss.

A few days later, Carpenter celebrated her 25th birthday.

People reported, citing an unnamed source, that Keoghan threw her a party on May 11 in Brooklyn.

The party featured a cake with Leonardo DiCaprio's face and the caption: "Nooo don't turn 25 [you're] so sexy aha." This refers to the internet joke that DiCaprio is only attracted to women under 25.

Later in the month, Carpenter traveled to the UK for the BBC Radio 1 Weekend music festival.

Fans think they saw Keoghan backstage in a video of Carpenter's performance — pointing to a blurry figure in purple that resembles him.

Carpenter took on the dating rumors in the best way possible — casting Keoghan as her criminal boyfriend in her latest music video.

In the video for "Please Please Please," which received more than three million views in its first 14 hours, Keoghan plays a convict who keeps getting locked up for violent crimes.

In the first verse, Carpenter seems to tease Keoghan's identity, signing: "I heard that you're an actor, so act like a stand-up guy."

In the second verse, Carpenter appears to reference her initial attempt to keep her relationship with Keoghan private.

"And we could live so happily, if no-one knows that you're with me — I'm just kidding, but really," she sings.

In the video, Carpenter's character falls for him at first sight and dates him after he is out of prison. However, their relationship goes wrong because he keeps bringing her along whenever he commits a crime.

At the end of the video, Carpenter handcuffs Keoghan and puts tape around his mouth before kissing him.

On August 6, Variety asked Carpenter about Keoghan's appearance in the "Please Please Please" music video in its cover issue interview.

Carpenter did not give any details about their relationship but had a lot of praise for Keoghan.

"I don't want to sound biased, but I think he's one of the best actors of this generation. So getting to see him on the screen with my song as the soundtrack made the video better and all the more special," she said.

Carpenter also said Keoghan was a fan of the song.

"He loved the song. He's obsessed with the lyrics, and I'm so grateful for that," she said.

In the days following People's report, a rumor spread on social media that Keoghan had cheated on Carpenter with an LA-based influencer.

The rumor began after Deux Moi, the blind-item gossip account, shared an anonymous message that said an "A-list singer who's having her breakout year and her foreign boyfriend are done for good" because the boyfriend cheated on her with a "blonde, semi-famous, LA based influencer (who's particularly big on TikTok)."

Fans believed the post was about Keoghan and Carpenter and thought Brekkie Hill was the other person involved.

Keoghan deleted his Instagram account on December 7 and wrote in a statement on X: "My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don't respond to. I have to respond now because it's getting to a place where there are too many lines being crossed."

Keoghan said people had turned up where his son and grandmother live.

Carpenter has not said anything about the breakup reports or cheating rumors.

San Francisco attorney Art Groza introduced the couple at a fundraiser for John Burton, who was then a member of the California State Assembly and went on to be elected to the House of Representatives, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Newsom and Guilfoyle wed at St. Ignatius Church in San Francisco. At the time, Newsom worked as a county supervisor, and Guilfoyle was an assistant district attorney.

Months later, Newsom told the San Francisco Chronicle that living on different coasts had "taken a huge toll personally."

"The transcontinental marriage is tough — the only godsend is that we don't have kids," he said. "You give up your life in the traditional sense."

One image from the Harper's Bazaar spread showed Guilfoyle and Newsom lying together in formalwear on a rug at Ann and Gordon Getty's house.

In the accompanying article, Newsom described their relationship as "a wonderful combination of being in love and extraordinarily proud."

Newsom and Guilfoyle released a joint statement announcing the end of their marriage "with great sadness," The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

"Unfortunately, the demands of our respective careers have made it too difficult for us to continue as a married couple," the statement said. "Over the past 10 years, we have developed a tremendous bond of love and respect for each other. That will never change. We will remain close friends. We ask for your understanding and consideration during this difficult time."

After the two were spotted together at Newsom's birthday party, a golf championship, and an outing with then-Prince Charles and Camilla during their royal visit, The San Francisco Chronicle described their marriage as "on-again, off again."

When former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown asked about his marital status at the royal gathering, Newsom replied, "I have a very confusing life," the Chronicle reported.

Guilfoyle gave a vague answer to the Chronicle when asked if she and Newsom had gotten back together.

"If I was standing back and looking at the situation, I would say it went great — these two people obviously love each other and get along very well," she said. "But I don't have an answer for you. We are not back together."

Guilfoyle told The San Francisco Chronicle that the divorce was amicable, and that she and Newsom shared a lawyer throughout the proceedings.

"We're very close, and we're going to remain that way," she said.

Guilfoyle and Newsom did not have any children together during their marriage.

Villency and Guilfoyle welcomed a son in October 2006. They divorced in November 2009.

After Newsom's campaign manager, Alex Tourk, abruptly resigned for "personal" reasons, Newsom publicly apologized for the affair the next day, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"I want to make it clear that everything you've heard and read is true, and I'm deeply sorry about that," he said at a press conference. "I've hurt someone I care deeply about — Alex Tourk, and his friends and family. And that is something I have to live with."

Newsom and Siebel wed in Stevensville, Montana, on a ranch belonging to Siebel's parents, People magazine reported. Nancy Pelosi, former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown, and actor Jason Lewis were in attendance.

The couple now shares four children.

In a profile of Newsom in The Sacramento Bee, Guilfoyle described him as "an amazing 'ideas guy' in terms of having an idea, developing it and seeing it to fruition."

She also recalled his dedication to an array of small businesses he operated, including wine shops, bars, and cafés. Guilfoyle told The Sacramento Bee that Newsom handled "everything from food selection and menus" to "all of the personnel decisions."

Newsom won the race for California governor in the 2018 midterm elections and took the oath of office in 2019.

Guilfoyle told The Washington Post that she joked with Newsom about directing Trump Jr. to campaign against his bid for governor, and that the two men discussed the hair products they use to keep their styles intact.

"Gav's hair is slicked back, and Don's hair is slicked back," she said.

Newsom told KQED host Lily Jamali that he was "still trying to come to grips with all of it."

"I wish her well, and them well," he said of Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. "And we see the world, clearly, with a different set of eyes politically."

In an interview on PROFILE by BuzzFeed News, Newsom was asked if then-President Trump had ever mentioned Newsom's past marriage to Guilfoyle in their conversations.

"We may have had a private moment on that conversation, which in and of itself, makes life just interesting," Newsom said.

When host Ben Smith asked Newsom for details, he simply said, "Life's interesting."

"If you want to see the Socialist Biden Harris future for our country, just take a look at California," Guilfoyle said in her speech. "It is a place of immense wealth, immeasurable innovation, and immaculate environment, and the Democrats turned it into a land of discarded heroin needles in parks, riots in streets, and blackouts in homes."

Fox News host Elex Michaelson asked the California governor if he had a response. Newsom opted to "respectfully defer to the next question."

When MSNBC host Alex Wagner asked if he and Guilfoyle still spoke, Newsom replied, "Nope. Not lately."

"It must be weird for you," Wagner said.

"Yeah, of course," Newsom replied.

As speculation swirled that Newsom might run for president in 2024 if President Joe Biden didn't seek a second term, Guilfoyle appeared to allude to her past with Newsom in a speech at Turning Points USA.

"In California, they have vowed to get rid of gas-powered cars with no explanation of how they are going to fund and power alternatives," Guilfoyle said. "A bunch of winners over there, folks. Ask me how I know."

"He ain't making it to the White House," she added, seemingly referring to Newsom.

On an episode of CNN's "The Axe Files" podcast, Newsom said Guilfoyle was "spending a lot of time in Democratic circles" while they were married, citing her work for a progressive district attorney and former friendship with fellow California attorney Kamala Harris, who went on to become vice president.

"She fell prey, I think, to the culture at Fox in a deep way," Newsom said of Guilfoyle. "She would disagree with that assessment, she would perhaps suggest that she found the light."

On an episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show" later that week, Guilfoyle called Newsom's comments "absurd," adding that she was a registered Republican while they were married and that it was Newsom who had changed drastically.

"I didn't change, he did," she said. "He used to be so proud to fight for small business, for entrepreneurs, for those hardworking men and women. And he's fallen prey to the left, the radical left, that is pushing him so far to the left that it's unrecognizable."

Guilfoyle also said that she thought Newsom would run for president in 2024 and that it's something he "wants very badly."

A mutual friend set them up on a blind date at Soho House's Dean Street Townhouse.

In their first sit-down interview as a couple, Meghan told the BBC in 2017 that she knew little about the prince or the royal family before the date.

"Because I'm from the States, you don't grow up with the same understanding of the royal family," she said. "I didn't know much about him, so the only thing that I had asked [our mutual friend] when she said that she wanted to set us up, was, 'Well, is he nice?' Cause if he wasn't kind, it just didn't seem like it would make sense."

In an interview with James Corden on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in February 2021, Prince Harry recalled how serious the pair got within their first two months of dating. 

"The second date I was starting to think: This is pretty special," Prince Harry told the host.

"Dating with me, or with any member of the royal family I guess, is kind of flipped upside down," he said. "All the dates become dinners or watching the TV or chatting at home. And then eventually, once you become a couple you venture out to dinners, to the cinema, and everything else. So, everything was done back to front with us."

"There were no distractions, and that was great, that was an amazing thing. We went from 0 to 60 like in the first two months," the royal added.

The Sunday Express reported that the country's single prince was dating American actor, philanthropist, and blogger Meghan Markle. A source told the publication that he was "happier than he's been for many years." 

While they still had not publicly announced they were dating, Meghan made headlines when she told The Vancouver Sun in a Q&A that "my cup runneth over, and I'm the luckiest girl in the world!"

While The Star reported that the pair attended a Halloween party in the city, Us Weekly reported that Meghan and Harry stayed put in her apartment all weekend.

People reported that Meghan met Harry's dad, Prince Charles — now King Charles — and that an "engagement was a possibility."

Harry released a statement confirming that he was dating Meghan but slammed the press coverage surrounding her and their relationship. He said that much of the coverage had been sexist and racist, as Meghan is a biracial woman.

The statement said, in part, "Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle's safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her. It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm. He knows commentators will say this is 'the price she has to pay' and that 'this is all part of the game'. He strongly disagrees. This is not a game — it is her life and his."

After reports that Prince William was not happy with Harry's decision to go public about his relationship with Meghan, William disputed the claims and said he was supportive of Harry's decision to speak out about Meghan and the abuse she was receiving in the press. 

"The Duke of Cambridge absolutely understands the situation concerning privacy and supports the need for Prince Harry to support those closest to him," the statement read. 

The Sun shared photos of Meghan and Harry ringing in some holiday cheer by picking out a Christmas tree and seeing the Christmas lights in London. Later, they attended the play "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime."

Prince Harry introduced his girlfriend to his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, and her daughter at the beginning of 2017. Meghan apparently "adored" Charlotte.

Prince George was away at nursery school, so she missed meeting him, The Sun reported. 

Norwegian media reports at the time said they stayed at the luxurious Tromvik Lodge, which gives panoramic views of the Norwegian Sea and the northern lights.

A friend reportedly told The Sun, "Harry wanted to make this first holiday something Meg will never forget."

Meghan announced that she was shutting down her lifestyle blog, "The Tig." Her post was sweet yet vague, so many assumed this meant she and Harry would be getting engaged. But People reported that she was just too busy to keep it up. 

Us Weekly reported the pair were spotted kissing in the parking lot after the annual Audi Polo Challenge in Ascot, England. Harry was participating while Meghan cheered from the sidelines. 

Harry took a three-hour, 100-mile round trip to pick up Meghan and bring her to Pippa Middleton's wedding reception.

Meghan did not attend the ceremony because Pippa had a "no ring, no bring" policy, but the break between the ceremony and the reception allowed Harry to pick her up and bring her later for the "less formal" reception. 

"We're a couple," Meghan said in the October issue of Vanity Fair. "We're in love. I'm sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. This is for us. It's part of what makes it so special, that it's just ours. But we're happy."

She added that they had been "very quietly dating" for six months before reports of the relationship emerged.

After more than a year of dating, Meghan and Harry attended a tennis event during the Invictus Games in Toronto. They were seen holding hands, whispering to each other, and smiling. 

The couple said the proposal happened quite spontaneously. 

"It happened a few weeks ago, earlier this month, here at our cottage; just a standard typical night for us," Prince Harry later told the BBC.

Meghan added, "[We were] trying to roast a chicken and it just — just an amazing surprise, it was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee."

Harry continued, "She didn't even let me finish; she said, 'Can I say yes, can I say yes?' and then were hugs. I had the ring on my finger, and I was like, 'Can I — can I give you the ring?' She goes — 'Oh, yes the ring.'"

The world was delighted when the couple announced their engagement on November 27. 

The news came via a statement from Kensington Palace and Clarence House, and the couple posed for celebratory photos.

The statement also announced they would be getting married on May 19, 2018.

For their first official public engagement, the pair greeted onlookers in Nottingham, England.

Royal fiancés are not typically included in official royal Christmas activities, but Queen Elizabeth invited Meghan to join the family at her Sandringham estate.

"It was fantastic. She really enjoyed it," Harry told BBC Radio 4 in an interview a few days later. "The family loved having her there."

It was also the first time that Meghan was photographed with Prince William and Kate, now the Prince and Princess of Wales.

They traveled all over the United Kingdom and even made a surprise appearance in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in March.

Celebrities, including Oprah, Serena Williams, and Elton John, were invited to the celebrations, while thousands of well-wishers lined the streets to wave at the couple, who arrived at the reception via a horse-drawn carriage.

Meghan's wedding dress was designed by Givenchy, one of her favorite designers. Her veil featured a motif of different embroidered flowers, including the California state flower. Her bouquet contained forget-me-nots, which were Princess Diana's favorite flower.

In a March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan said she and Harry had actually said their vows to each other three days before the wedding at Windsor Castle.

"No one knows that, but we called the archbishop and we just said, 'This thing, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us.' So the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury," she said.

The Archbishop of Canterbury later confirmed the couple wasn't legally married until their ceremony at Windsor Castle.

Rather than live in Apartment 1 at Kensington Palace, the couple decided to move slightly further afield from the royal family and settled at Frogmore House.

The couple spent millions of dollars in taxpayer funds renovating the home for their growing family, which they eventually paid back in full by making a contribution to the Sovereign Grant.

During the jam-packed tour, Meghan performed a traditional greeting, the Hongi, with the governor-general of New Zealand, pictured.

The couple also cuddled with koalas in Sydney, met with youth mental health organizations, took part in traditional ceremonies, met foreign leaders, and laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Wellington, New Zealand. 

The couple's appearance at Christmas services temporarily halted rumors that they were on the outs with the royal family, namely Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Though they looked the picture of happiness from the outside looking in, Meghan would later reveal in her tell-all interview with Oprah in March 2021 that just before attending this event at Royal Albert Hall on January 16, 2019, she had expressed concern to Prince Harry over her mental health and not "[wanting] to be alive anymore."

"We had to go to an official event. We had to go to this event at the Royal Albert Hall, and a friend said, 'I know you don't look at pictures, but, oh, my God, you guys look so great...'" she said. "I zoomed in, and what I saw was the truth of what that moment was, because right before we had to leave for that, I had just had that conversation with Harry that morning, and it was the next day that I talked to the institution."

"It was like, 'These are the thoughts that I'm having in the middle of the night that are very clear ... And I'm scared, because this is very real. This isn't some abstract idea. This is methodical, and this is not who I am.' But we had to go to this event, and I remember him saying, 'I don't think you can go.' And I said, 'I can't be left alone,'" she said. 

"And that picture, if you zoom in, what I see is how tightly his knuckles are gripped around mine. You can see the whites of our knuckles, because we are smiling and doing our job, but we're both just trying to hold on. And every time that those lights went down in that royal box, I was just weeping, and he was gripping my hand."

Meghan and Prince Harry broke from royal tradition by skipping the post-birth photo call on the hospital steps. But outside Windsor Castle, Harry gushed to the media about his newborn son and how proud he was of his wife.

"It's been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined," he told the media. "How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension. But we're both absolutely thrilled and so grateful [for] all the love and support from everybody out there. It's been amazing."

They appeared for their photo call with Archie three days later. Archie also did not receive a royal title, and details about his christening or godparents were not released publicly.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted their son to be as normal as possible to begin with, hence no use of the title Earl of Dumbarton," royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said at the time.

However, Meghan told Oprah Winfrey in March 2021 that the decision not to give Archie a royal title was not their own and that he was also refused security upon his birth.

"Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences — a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son," the prince wrote in a statement.

It added, "Though we have continued to put on a brave face—as so many of you can relate to — I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been."

While touring South Africa, the royal couple met with Nelson Mandela's widow, Graca Machel.

Archie accompanied the royal couple on the trip, which took them to Auwal Mosque, the oldest mosque in South Africa, and other famous sites. At the time, Archie was only 6 months old, which made him one of the youngest royals to ever go on a royal tour.

"It was three, maybe four weeks later that I managed to persuade her to come join me in Botswana, and we camped out with each other under the stars," Prince Harry said in the couple's engagement interview. "She came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic."

Meghan's engagement ring features two diamonds from Princess Diana's collection and a center jewel from a conflict-free diamond supplier in Botswana.

When the reports were published, a royal source told CNN that the couple was planning to split their time between the UK and Canada.

Though the royals themselves didn't confirm this report, Markle did speak about how the pressure of constantly being in the public eye was affecting her. 

"Not many people have asked if I'm OK, but it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes," she told ITV reporter Tom Bradby, CNN reported.

"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen," the statement read. "We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honor our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.

"This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity." 

In the couple's tell-all interview with Oprah, Prince Harry revealed that the primary reasons for their leaving their royal roles were a "lack of support and lack of understanding" from both the media and the royal family.

"It brings me great sadness that it has come to this," the duke said during a private dinner for his charity Sentebale. "I know I haven't always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option."

In an iconic photo taken by photographer Samir Hussein, the pair wore coordinating blue outfits while looking happier than ever. The romantic snap, taken at the 2020 Endeavour Fund Awards in London on March 5, was quickly shared by fans across the internet.

"I've taken many photos I'm really proud of, but in terms of the huge interest in the subjects and the response I've had, this is probably the most iconic photo I've taken," Hussein said in a statement.

It was the first and final official engagement the "Fab Four" — the nickname given to the two royal couples — participated in after Meghan and Harry announced they would be stepping back from their royal duties.

Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator, told Business Insider that the interactions between the couples, or lack thereof, were visibly "frosty." The couples acted noticeably cold to one another, barely making eye contact or speaking to one another, despite being seated just one row apart.

On April 20, Prince Harry and Meghan announced they would no longer engage with or respond to inquiries from journalists from the Sun, the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, and the Daily Express, explaining they no longer wished to "offer themselves up as currency for an economy of clickbait and distortion."

That same month, they also announced their plans to launch a non-profit, Archewell, named after their son.

Vogue reported that the pair settled in the private and exclusive neighborhood of Montecito. The publication also reported that, according to property records, the royal couple bought their 14,500-square-foot home for $14.65 million.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into their family home in July of this year," a spokesperson for the couple confirmed to Business Insider in August 2020.

"They have settled into the quiet privacy of their community since their arrival and hope that this will be respected for their neighbors, as well as for them as a family."

Harry and Meghan planted forget-me-nots, which is widely known as Princess Diana's favorite flower, alongside children at the Preschool Learning Center in Los Angeles, which provides support to local low-income families.

Princess Diana died more than 23 years ago, on August 31, 1997, from injuries sustained after a car crash in Paris. Prince Harry has been vocal about the impact his mother's death had on him and receiving therapy to help process his grief.

The New York Times reported that the couple plans to produce documentaries, docuseries, feature films, scripted television shows, and children's programming under their new business. 

"Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope," Harry and Meghan told the outlet. "As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us."

In a New York Times essay titled "The Losses We Share," Meghan opened up about the "unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few" she had after having a miscarriage over the summer. 

"I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second," she wrote. "Hours later, I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband's hand. I felt the clamminess of his palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears. Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we'd heal."

In the same month the couple sent out their family Christmas card — which was not shared publicly — they also won one of their first legal battles over paparazzi pics of their son, Archie.

"As explained in today's hearing, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have successfully settled a legal claim brought at the beginning of this year against the paparazzi agency Splash UK," a spokesperson for Schillings, the legal representation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, said in a statement to Town & Country.

"After two long years of pursuing litigation, I am grateful to the courts for holding Associated Newspapers and the Mail on Sunday to account for their illegal and dehumanizing practiced," she wrote in a statement.

"These tactics (and those of their sister publications MailOnline and the Daily Mail) are not new; in fact, they've been going on for far too long without consequence. For these outlets, it's a game. For me and so many others, it's real life, real relationships, and very real sadness. The damage they have done and continue to do runs deep," she continued.

In the statement, she thanked Harry and others for their support.

At the time, a newspaper spokesperson told Business Insider, "We are very surprised by today's summary judgment and disappointed at being denied the chance to have all the evidence heard and tested in open court at a full trial."

"We are carefully considering the judgment's contents and will decide in due course whether to lodge an appeal," the spokesperson added.

The news that Meghan and Harry were expecting their second child was first reported by People and later confirmed in a statement to Business Insider. 

"We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child," a spokesperson for the couple said.

In Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah, the couple revealed they were expecting a girl, due in the summer.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed to Her Majesty The Queen that they will not be returning as working members of The Royal Family," Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "While all are saddened by their decision, The Duke and Duchess remain much-loved members of the family."

In addition to losing their involvement with numerous UK charities and patronages, Prince Harry will lose his honorary military appointments with The Royal Marines, the RAF Honington, and the Royal Navy Small Ships and Diving.

People reported that the couple will retain their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles and will still be referred to as His/Her Royal Highness, though they do not actively use either of their titles.

In a statement released by Prince Harry and Meghan, the couple said they "remain committed to their duty and service to the UK and around the world, and have offered their continued support to the organizations they have represented regardless of official role."

"We can all live a life of service. Service is universal," they concluded.

On March 7, Prince Harry and Meghan's first sit-down interview since leaving the royal family, titled "Oprah with Meghan And Harry: A Primetime Special," aired on CBS in the US. The next day, the special interview aired in the UK.

The couple talked about everything from parenthood to life after leaving the royal family and the pressure they faced prior to doing so. 

In one part of the interview, Prince Harry compared himself to his mother, Princess Diana, and discussed the struggles they both faced as members of the royal family.

"For me, I'm just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side because I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for [Diana] going through this process by herself all those years ago," he said in the interview. "Because it has been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we have each other."

Markle also opened up about how she was "naive" before entering the royal family, her struggle with mental health while serving as a senior royal, and "concerns" from the royal family about "how dark [Archie's] skin might be."

In response to the interview, Buckingham Palace in a statement on behalf of the Queen that "the whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan."

"The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately," it continued.

Meghan had intended to travel to the UK with her husband to attend Prince Philip's funeral but was not given clearance to fly because of her pregnancy.

Prince Philip died, age 99, on April 9.

"My grandfather was a man of service, honor and great humor," Prince Harry said in a statement sent to Business Insider. "He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm—and also because you never knew what he might say next."

"He will be remembered as the longest reigning consort to the Monarch, a decorated serviceman, a Prince and a Duke. But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa," Prince Harry continued.

He also called the late royal a "master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right 'til the end."

"Meghan, Archie, and I (as well as your future great-granddaughter) will always hold a special place for you in our hearts," he added.

Prince William and Kate Middleton wed on April 29, 2011.

People reported that Meghan and Harry privately congratulated the couple on the milestone. Queen Elizabeth also publicly congratulated the couple on social media.

Three years after their Windsor Castle royal wedding, Prince Harry and Meghan celebrated the milestone at their new home in Santa Barbara, California.

The couple released an official statement announcing that Lilibet "Lili" Diana was born on Friday, June 4, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. 

"She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home," the statement read. 

The name "Lilibet" is the royal family's longtime nickname for Queen Elizabeth, but the couple will call their daughter Lili for short. 

"Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet," the couple said. "Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales."

It's traditional for most royal births to have an announcement posted outside Buckingham Palace (pictured). However, the birth of Lilibet Diana was much more subdued, with the couple releasing a statement on their Archewell website.

"It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world," the statement read.

"She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we've felt from across the globe," the couple said. "Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family."

Unlike when Markle gave birth to Archie, there was no official photo call with the press.

The children's book spoke about the relationship between a father and son from the perspective of a mother. The book featured illustrations by Christian Robinson and became a New York Times bestseller within a week of its release.

Prince Harry could be seen placing his hand on Markle's leg during a volleyball game. Meghan also wore jeans, a far cry from the more dressed-up style she had as a working royal.

"Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are excited and honored to attend The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children," the spokesperson said in a statement shared with Business Insider.

However, while the couple and their two children planned to attend the 70th-anniversary celebration of the Queen's reign, Prince Harry and Meghan announced they would not join the Queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the Trooping the Colour parade alongside other members of the royal family.

Prince Harry and Meghan were married four years ago on May 19, 2018. Here are some photos of what other royal couples looked like when they first started dating versus now.

The royal couple was spotted at the Trooping the Colour parade, which celebrated Queen Elizabeth's historic 70-year reign. However, they did not appear alongside other members of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. 

Following a thanksgiving service at St. Paul's Cathedral, which they attended along with Prince William and Kate Middleton, the couple could be seen being booed by fans as they exited. They did not attend a royal luncheon following the service, The Mirror reported.

Prince Harry and Meghan celebrated their daughter Lilibet's first birthday during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in London.

A spokesperson for the royal couple told Page Six that Lilibet's birthday party was a "casual, intimate backyard picnic" for "close friends and family" at Frogmore Cottage, the couple's previous residence.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were reportedly invited to the family affair but didn't attend due to a planned trip to Wales. Lilibet was introduced to her namesake, Queen Elizabeth, following the Trooping the Colour parade.

"It's simply a coincidence they fell on the same day," a source told Entertainment Tonight. "There was no intended slight."

Representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince William, and Middleton did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.

Meghan said she was teaching her son, Archie, that the polite way to pass salt and pepper shakers across a table is by holding them together. She then told the outlet that this reminded her of the way she and Prince Harry are navigating their new life together in Montecito, California. 

"'You never move one without the other,'" she told The Cut. "That's me and Harry. We're like salt and pepper. We always move together."

Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully at Balmoral Castle on September 8, 2022. Her eldest son, King Charles, immediately ascended to the throne following her death.

Prince Harry, Meghan, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other members of the royal family attended her funeral on September 19. Some 2,000 people also gathered at Westminster Abbey to pay their respects to the Queen.

The couple's new documentary series, "Harry & Meghan," consisted of six episodes and was released on Netflix on December 8. The trailer for the series featured interviews with the couple and behind-the-scenes photos from their royal life. It promised to give an in-depth, personal look at their decision to "step back" from royal life.

"When the stakes are this high, doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?" Markle asks in the trailer.

"I had to do everything I could to protect my family," Harry says during an interview. 

The title of the book reflects Harry's position as the "spare" in relation to his older brother, William, the heir to the throne, and his unlikely path to kingship. In the book, Harry discussed his complex relationship with William, describing him as both a "beloved brother" and an "arch nemesis."

The tell-all memoir also detailed his relationship with Markle, including concerns that his sister-in-law Kate Middleton was "going to be compared to, and forced to compete with, Meg." 

Reports emerged in June 2023 that Markle and Harry had ended their partnership with Spotify and would no longer produce content on the platform.

Reports also said that Meghan and Harry would not receive the full $20 million payout from their Spotify deal. 

"The podcast will no longer be produced at Spotify as we are mutually parting ways," a spokesperson for Archewell Audio, the couple's production company, told Business Insider.

In February 2024, Meghan announced that she had signed a new partnership with Lemonada Media, Deadline reported.

The tabloid Radar Online originally reported that the couple was facing "tremendous financial pressure" and a "trial separation" after the end of their Spotify deal, citing an unnamed source who said "that stress coupled with their emotional issues has likely made life a living hell. Taking time apart on different continents will hopefully help them find whatever they need to move on."

However, Page Six disputed the rumors, citing a source close to the couple who said, "It's not true. It's literally made up."

The pair attended a basketball game during the Invictus Games and a Beyoncé concert at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, dispelling speculation that the couple had separated.

The couple, wearing matching silver outfits, was spotted dancing together and kissing in a private box at the concert. 

The New York Post reported that, according to a trademark application filed by Meghan's lawyers and reviewed by the outlet, Meghan's new brand will sell tableware, drinkware, kitchen linens, jams, marmalade, cookbooks, and other products. 

Tatler also reported in June 2024 that the first product available for purchase by the public will be rosé wine. Meghan joins a long list of celebrities who have their own alcohol brands. 

"These trips are about us being able to go out and go and focus on the things that mean so much to us," Meghan, who recently found out she is part-Nigerian, told People. "And being able to be on the ground, to us, is what it's all about."

People reported that Nigeria's chief of defense staff, General Christopher Musa, invited the couple to visit the country. The trip was not meant to compensate for other royal family members stepping back from public duties — both King Charles and Kate Middleton were battling cancer. Kate is now cancer-free and plans to resume public work next year.

People reported that the couple had not received invitations from Harry's family to attend the annual event, which celebrated King Charles' second birthday as monarch. 

"I was thinking about, in the past few years of having Thanksgiving here, like many of us, I think you always make sure there's room at the table for your friends who don't have family, which is really key," Meghan told Marie Claire in a recent interview.

"We're always making sure we have something fun to do," she said. "Like any other family, you spend time having a great meal, and then what do you do? Play games, all the same stuff, someone brings a guitar — fun."

In a conversation with New York Times columnist and DealBook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin during a panel at the 2024 DealBook Summit hosted by The New York Times, Harry joked about the constant reports and attention he and his wife receive from the press — positive and negative. 

"Apparently we've bought or moved house 10, 12 times. We've apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well," he said, laughing, People reported. "So it's just like, 'what?'"

"It's hard to keep up with, but that's why you just sort of ignore it. The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls," he continued. "Their hopes are just built and built, and it's like, 'Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,' and then it doesn't happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do."

Harry also said that he enjoys his life in the US and doesn't regret leaving the UK, adding it's what he believes his mother, Princess Diana, would have wanted for him. 

 "I very much enjoy living here and bringing up my kids here. It's a part of my life that I never thought that I was gonna live," he told Sorkin. 

"I feel as though it's the life that my mom wanted for me," he continued. "To be able to do the things I'm able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn't be able to do in the UK — it's huge. I'm hugely grateful for that."
