Without even knowing it, she teaches me how to be a better person every day that I am with her.

| Jesse McCartney Marries Katie Peterson After 9 Years Together Posted: 23 Oct 2021 07:54 PM PDT He found the beautiful soul he wanted all along. Jesse McCartney and Katie Peterson got married on Saturday, October 23, Us Weekly confirms. Celebrity Weddings of 2021: See Which Stars Tied the Knot Read articleThe duo's friends and family chronicled their wedding day on social media. McCartney and Peterson, both 34, married in an outdoor wedding ceremony at Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel, California. The reception featured a salad course followed by a choice of pan seared alaskan halibut or slow roasted prime filet mignon. Of course, cake was had for dessert. Their big day comes two years after McCartney proposed. The "Kiss the World Goodbye" singer popped the question at Cut by Wolfgang Puck at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The duo were eating dinner with friends, and Puck started making the rounds in the dining room. When McCartney got down on one knee, the whole room went silent, an onlooker told Us exclusively at the time. The restaurant burst into applause after they got engaged. In August, McCartney revealed exclusively to Us that he was planning to sing at the wedding, but he wouldn't belt out his biggest hit. "I think I'm going to get up and play. I don't know what, but it will not be 'Beautiful Soul.' It will probably be something that I've written or something that I've yet to write," he said at the time. "I'm going to get up and probably play with some of my band. A lot of the guys from my band are coming to the wedding, so it'll be nice. We can get up there and interrupt the wedding band for a couple songs. If we haven't had too much wine at that point." 2000s Pop Stars, Then and Now: Jesse McCartney and More Read articleHe explained that there's a time and place for the 2005 single, adding, "I love playing 'Beautiful Soul' for the fans and on tour, but it might be a little cheesy at my wedding." The Summerland alum said that he let Peterson take charge of wedding planning, but he helped wherever she asked for his input. He was specifically in charge of music for the event, which had about 150 guests. "I know what my lane is. I'm not going to be in there saying, 'Hey, you should do this lace with this veil,'" he told Us. "She put me in charge of putting together the band, which was nice … Whatever she wants, that's just the attitude to have." Peterson and McCartney met at a bar in 2012 when the singer went to meet a friend and the actress was waiting for them to finish so she could close the restaurant. After waiting nine years between meeting and marriage, don't expect the duo to rush into having parenthood. 'Summerland' Cast: Where Are They Now? Read article"We haven't really talked too much about it," the former Dream Street member told Us about having kids with Peterson. "It's certainly an option for us. I think that we both have pretty demanding responsibilities and careers and definitely want to still do things that would require all of our attention. But, I mean, I think it's certainly something that we've talked about and we'll continue to talk about it. It's just a matter of timing, I think, and figuring out when it's right to take that path."  |

| Alec Baldwin Was Told Gun Was ‘Cold’ Before Fatal Shooting Posted: 23 Oct 2021 02:40 PM PDT While filming his movie Rust on Thursday, October 21, Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun that injured the director and killed another crew member. The incident occurred at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico. According to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department, the weapon was "discharged" by the 30 Rock alum, 63, and Deadline later reported that production on the Western was paused. "Mr. Baldwin came in voluntarily to speak with investigators," sheriff's office spokesman Juan Ríos noted in a statement, asserting that the situation would be treated like "any other investigation." Detectives were trying to determine "what type of projectile was discharged" as the set remained on lockdown. The victims — director Joel Souza and director of photography Halyna Hutchins — were rushed to receive medical attention after being struck. Hutchins, 42, was pronounced dead at University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque. The 48-year-old filmmaker, for his part, was taken to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center via helicopter. While his condition was initially unknown, Deadline was told by Souza's rep that he was released from the hospital on Friday, October 22. The movie's production company, Rust Movie Productions LLC, noted in a statement regarding the accident, "The entire cast and crew has been absolutely devastated by today's tragedy, and we send our deepest condolences to Halyna's family and loved ones. We have halted production on the film for an undetermined period of time and are fully cooperating with the Santa Fe Police Department's investigation. We will be providing counseling services to everyone connected to the film as we work to process this awful event." Hutchins was originally from the Ukraine and had been sharing updates about the filming process with her Instagram followers ahead of her death. "One of the perks of shooting a western is you get to ride horses on your day off:)," she captioned a video of herself on Wednesday, October 20, as she joined a group on horseback. The Emmy winner broke his silence on Hutchins' death on Friday via Twitter, writing, "There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours. I'm fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna." Before Baldwin addressed the incident, tributes poured in for the late cinematographer. "I'm in shock. I was so lucky to have had Halyna Hutchins as my DP on 'Archenemy,'" Joe Manganiello tweeted. "An incredible talent & great person. I can't believe this could happen in this day and age… gunfire from a prop gun could kill a crew member? What a horrible tragedy. My heart goes out to her family." Ava DuVernay left a comment on casting director Sidra Smith's Instagram post about Hutchins, writing, "Devastating. Absolutely horrific. Blessings to you during this difficult time, Sidra. And may her soul be at rest." Scroll down for the latest updates on the Rust shooting:  Hutchins was working as director of photography on Rust and was named one of American Cinematography's "rising stars" in the profession in 2019. She previously contributed to 2019's Darlin' and 2020's Blindfire, as well as AMC's The Walking Dead. She was pronounced dead on Thursday at University of New Mexico Hospital. James Gourley/Variety/Shutterstock Souza is a California-based writer and director whose previous credits include 2015's Ghost Squad, 2017's Break Night and 2019's Crown Vic. According to Deadline, he was released from the hospital early Friday morning after sustaining injuries on set. Ron Adar/SOPA Images/Shutterstock As of Thursday, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's office was in the midst of an "open and active" investigation, but no arrests were made. Baldwin was questioned by investigators — as were other members of the crew — but no charges were filed. Andrew H. Walker/Shutterstock Only one round was discharged, and it grazed Souza but hit Hutchins in her shoulder, per The Los Angeles Times. Andres Leighton/AP/Shutterstock That is the question investigators are still trying to answer. The assistant director called out "cold gun" when handing Baldwin the weapon, the AD wrote in an affidavit, according to the New York Times. "Cold" means no ammunition is in the gun. The crew member "did not know live rounds were in the prop gun," Detective Joel Cano declared in an affidavit. Jae C Hong/AP/Shutterstock The LA Times reports that several crew members walked off set to protest working conditions hours ahead of the fatal accident. They accused the production of not properly following safety protocols, including gun inspections. The workers claimed that there were two accidental gun discharges on set before, with Baldwin's stunt double allegedly firing a gun that was announced as "cold" only to find a live round in it. "There should have been an investigation into what happened," a crew member alleged to the LA Times. "There were no safety meetings. There was no assurance that it wouldn't happen again. All they wanted to do was rush, rush, rush." Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP/Shutterstock Many film and TV sets are taking action and vowing not to risk having "hot" or "live" — meaning loaded — weapons on set. ABC's police drama The Rookie has officially banned live rounds. "As of today, it is now policy on The Rookie that all gunfire on set will be with Air Soft guns with CG muzzle flashes added in post," showrunner Alexi Hawley wrote in a memo obtained by The Hollywood Reporter on Friday, October 22. "There will be no more 'live' weapons on the show. The safety of our cast and crew is too important." Amazon Prime's The Boys, which is known for its violent action sequences, will also forgo live rounds. Showrunner Eric Kripke, who worked with Rust cast member Jensen Ackles on Supernatural and The Boys, announced the news on Friday via Twitter. "In [Hutchins'] memory, a simple, easy pledge: no more guns with blanks on any of my sets ever. We'll use VFX muzzle flashes. Who's with me?" he wrote. Eric McCandless/ABC/Kobal/Shutterstock This is not the first time a prop gun has led to fatalities on a film set. In 1993, the late Brandon Lee was killed during filming for The Crow after an improperly loaded prop gun was fired. His sister, Shannon Lee, reacted to the Rust incident on Thursday. "Our hearts go out to the family of Halyna Hutchins and to Joel Souza and all involved in the incident on 'Rust,'" she tweeted via a memorial account set up for her brother. "No one should ever be killed by a gun on a film set. Period." Pressman/Most/Kobal/Shutterstock |

| Joe Giudice Wishes Ex Teresa ‘All The Best’ After Engagement News Posted: 23 Oct 2021 02:10 PM PDT From cheating allegations to deportation orders, Teresa and Joe Giudice have gone through a lot of ups and downs throughout their 20-year marriage. The reality stars tied the knot in October 1999 and went on to welcome daughters Gia in January 2001, Gabriella in October 2004, Milania in February 2006 and Audriana in September 2009. The couple stepped into the public eye in May 2009 when The Real Housewives of New Jersey premiered on Bravo. After renewing their vows in September 2011, Teresa and Joe hit a rough patch, pleading guilty to 41 counts of fraud in March 2014. She served 11 months in federal prison in 2015, while he spent 41 months behind bars. Upon his release in March 2019, the businessman was transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. Joe was ordered to be deported to his native Italy in October 2018. While awaiting a decision on his appeal, he relocated to Italy in October 2019. Teresa hinted in March 2019 that divorce was on the horizon. "I'm not doing a long-distance relationship. I'm not doing it," she explained on the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. "You know, I want somebody with me every day. I know exactly what happens. You know, I'm sure he'll be with other women. It happens. We do the long-distance thing, it's not going to work. I'd be like, 'Bye bye.'" Us Weekly confirmed in December 2019 that the twosome had split. "Teresa and Joe talked about their future when she and the girls were in Italy and decided it was best for them to separate," a source revealed. "Neither of them wanted to be in a long-distance relationship. Joe has been dating in Italy, Teresa is busy taking care of their girls right now. They harbor no ill will toward each other and will continue to coparent their kids." Teresa and Joe finalized their divorce less than a year later. An insider told Us in September 2020 that they were "supporting each other 100 percent as they each pursue their happiness" and added that the duo's primary focus "will remain their four beautiful daughters." In April 2021, Joe told Us that he didn't think his marriage to Teresa would have lasted even if he hadn't been deported. "I mean, she's with her new guy and everything," the former construction business owner said at the time, referring to his ex's now-fiancé, Luis Ruelas. "Why would I want to go back to that? … There's a lot of other women out there." The Turning Tables author and Ruelas got engaged in October 2021 after more than one year of dating. "Don't ever stop dreaming," Teresa wrote via Instagram just before the news broke, adding the hashtag "#soulmate." Scroll through to relive the Real Housewives of New Jersey stars' highs and lows.  Teresa met Joe when she was only 14 years old. After going on their first day when she was 17, they started "seriously dating" when she was 23, the reality TV personality told Bravo in 2016. The pair wed on October 23, 1999. Getty Images Teresa and Joe share daughters Gia, Gabriella, Milania and Audriana. Getty Images Bravo cameras started following the Giudice family in 2009. Their relationship came under fire during season 4 when cameras caught Joe calling Teresa "my bitch wife" and "c–t" during the Housewives' trip to Napa in 2012. While the other Housewives accused Joe of cheating and talking to his "girlfriend" on the aforementioned phone call, he told Andy Cohen at the reunion he was on the phone with a "longtime friend," noting "if I was talking to a girlfriend I probably would have ripped my mic off and threw it in the bushes." Teresa's on-off friend Jacqueline Laurita also accused the pair of having an abusive marriage during the season, which they both denied. Getty Images After a rocky season, Teresa told Cohen during the October 2012 reunion that the duo are "happy together." Months later, Teresa and Joe showed off their love on vacation with their daughters in the Dominican Republic, packing on the PDA underwater. Getty Images Four years after filing for bankruptcy, Teresa and Joe were indicted on 39 counts of fraud and tax charges in July 2013. More than a year later, the couple were both sentenced to prison for fraud in October 2014. While Teresa was given a 15-month sentence, Joe was set to serve 41 months after his wife was released. Getty Images The Bravo star reported to prison in Danbury, Connecticut, in January 2015. "I cry more than the girls," Joe told Us about the family's six-hour visits to see Teresa in April 2015. "I pretty much cry every time I leave. Like a little baby." Getty Images Joe denied allegations that he cheated on his then-incarcerated wife with a woman named Jamie Jackson exclusively to Us Weekly in March 2015. "No, I did not flirt with her. I did not make out with her, nothing happened between us," he told Us at the time. Getty Images After serving 11 months, Teresa was released and reunited with her family two days before Christmas 2015. Shortly after her return, Joe began his 41-month sentence in March 2016. The reality TV personality admitted exclusively to Us in September 2017 that she has "no idea" if she will "still be married to Joe in 40 years." INSTAR Images During Joe's stint in prison, Teresa's former pal Kim DePaola accused her of cheating on her husband. "They've been pretty cozy I'm going to say in the last five months," Kim alleged to Us in July 2017 (and on season 8 of RHONJ). Teresa's attorney, James J. Leonard Jr., Esq told Us at the time that his client "vehemently denies these allegations." Months later, fans thought the twosome were headed for divorce after Teresa posted she's "getting great advice" from a divorce attorney in January 2018. (She later clarified she was simply promoting her friend's services.) Getty Images Teresa opened up about visiting her spouse during his sentence in February 2018. "I saw him last Saturday. He was 245 when he went in, and now he weighs 185," she told Us exclusively at the time. "He looks so hot and I just can't wait for him to come home. I'm really ready for him to come home." Getty Images In October 2018, Joe was ordered to be reported to his native Italy, according to Radar Online. "I don't understand how I can be deported on this case. If you will, I'll tell you my side. I shouldn't even be here right now," he told the judge via teleconference at the time. "I have to go back and tell my kids this, and they've been waiting to hear from me." A source told Us at the time that Teresa was surprised by the verdict. "Teresa never talks about Joe's deportation to her friends. She doesn't like to bring up their legal problems very often, but Joe being deported to Italy is very high up on her 'never discuss' list," the source explained, noting everyone, including Teresa thought that they would make an exception for Joe since he has been in this country for so long." Getty Images Teresa revealed during the RHONJ season 9 reunion taping in January 2019 that the couple will "go [their] separate ways" if Joe is deported to Italy, a source confirmed to Us Weekly. Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images A source told Us in January 2019 that Teresa has "been feeling conflicted for a little while now" despite her revelation that she would split with Joe if he were to get deported. The insider added that the reality star is "doing really good despite all of this and is putting her daughters' best interests first and her own." Bruce Glikas/Getty Images Teresa was spotted "aggressively flirting with" New Jersey realtor Blake Schreck during a New Year's Eve bash in January, a source told Us at the time. Though her lawyer, James Leonard Jr., said the get-together was just "a night out with friends, nothing more than that," the two were later spotted getting cozy in Miami in February. Teresa and Schreck held hands as they left an event at the time, and spent the next day at a beach together. MEGA Us confirmed in March 2019 that Joe was released from prison and transferred into the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Bravo personality may remain in the detention center for up to a year until he is either deported to his native Italy or wins the appeal he filed in November. Hours after Joe was transferred to ICE, Teresa attended her brother Joe Gorga's book release party in New York City, smiling slightly as she arrived at the event. Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images Us confirmed in April 2019 that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement denied Joe's appeal in his deportation case. After the news broke, Teresa and Joe's lawyer James J. Leonard Jr. released a statement vowing to keep fighting for the former construction business owner to stay in the country. "We are extremely disappointed that the Board of Immigration Appeals has denied Mr. Giudice's appeal," the statement read. "We have filed a stay with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and will continue to fight to keep Mr. Giudice in the United States, the only country he knows, and reunite him with his wife and four daughters." Theo Wargo/Getty Images; Earl Gibson III/Getty Images The couple's lawyer, James J. Leonard Jr., revealed in April 2019 that Teresa and her daughters were unable to visit Joe in ICE custody after his release from prison. "The facility where Joe is being held does not allow for contact visits," he told Us in a statement. "Joe does not want to put Teresa and the girls through the horrific ordeal of driving several hours to visit him and not be able to hug him. They would be restricted to talking on a phone while separated by Plexiglass. It's inhumane that this man cannot hug his wife or kiss his daughters." Getty Images (2) In an emotional letter obtained by Radar Online in April 2019, Teresa begged the court not to deport Joe. "My husband is the true love of my life and the most amazing father that I could ask God for our daughters," she wrote. "I cannot imagine life without him. He is our everything and we desperately need him." Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock "If he gets deported, he'll never be able to go to their graduation[s], celebrate their birthdays, anything," the reality star said in a Bravo Insider video posted in June 2019. "He's going to be missing out on so much." Courtesy of Teresa Giudice /Instagram After the businessman's bond request was denied in September 2019, Teresa admitted she wasn't in a good place. "It's a sad time with my husband and everything so we're going to try and work it out as best we can," she told reporters. "The most important thing is our four daughters, so I'm hoping Joe is able to stay in the United States." Julio Cortez/AP/Shutterstock In October 2019, Joe was granted permission to leave Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and travel to Italy while his deportation appeal is decided. In an interview with Us Weekly on the day of that decision, Teresa said it was difficult to raise the couple's daughters solo. "It's like I have to be the mom and the dad," she said. "So I'm doing it all by myself. Everything. Taking care of the house, the kids, my dad lives with me, just everything. Being the breadwinner, doing it at all." Mediapunch/Shutterstock A source told Us in October 2019 that the Fabulicious! author had already planned a trip to visit Joe in Italy, adding, "Teresa and all the girls will be visiting sooner rather than later. It's fast approaching." Mediapunch/Shutterstock After a RHONJ season 10 trailer spurred speculation that Teresa cheated on Joe, the reality star's lawyer cleared up the matter in October 2019, telling Us, "The clip in the newer supertease is Teresa, her brother and a lifelong friend named Tony talking about Teresa and Tony kissing when they were in high school more than 25 years ago." Curtis Means/Shutterstock Later that month, the former construction worker shared a video greeting to his family. "At the end of the day, people make mistakes," he said in the clip. "Nobody's perfect. I've learned a valuable lesson from all this, and I know my family is the most important thing to me, but it's better that I'm out here than in there. I just want to let you know that I love you, and I'm always here for you. You know that." Courtesy of Milania Giudice/Instagram Teresa, Joe and their daughters posed for pics in Italy during their first family visit in November 2019. Courtesy of Gia Giudice/Instagram "Maybe this summer," the Standing Strong author told Andy Cohen later that month when asked about her plans to return to Italy. "The girls are going to go back. They wanted to go back for Thanksgiving, but Joe's just getting his passport so we don't know. We were gonna meet in the Bahamas, but he's gonna get his passport right around that time. [They] are definitely going for Christmas. I have to work around that time, so that's why I can't go. So, summer. That'll be my next break. Then the girls have school." YouTube Teresa and Joe have split after 20 years of marriage, Us Weekly confirmed on December 17. "Teresa and Joe have separated, but have no plans to divorce yet. Teresa and Joe talked about their future when she and the girls were in Italy and decided it was best for them to separate," a source told Us. "Neither of them wanted to be in a long-distance relationship." The insider added, "Joe has been dating in Italy, Teresa is busy taking care of their girls right now. They harbor no ill will towards each other and will continue to coparent their kids. The girls will be going to Italy is December, Teresa will be staying home." Jeff Daly/Invision/AP/Shutterstock In March 2020, Joe commented on his estranged wife's Instagram photo with a series of fire emojis and a rose emoji. One day prior, the Italy native admitted that he "failed" in his marriage with Teresa. "I did my best and put all efforts into making this a great experience for my family," he wrote via Instagram. "My key role was to always be a great father and husband."

Andrew H.

"Thank you for being a guiding light—your experiences and knowledge helped us navigate day-to-day challenges," he wrote via Instagram. "Thank you for your wit—your daughter got the best of that. Now, Your ❤️ and my dad are smiling in this tough time because they get to enjoy your good food and funny jokes. Cin cin." Courtesy of Joe Giudice/Instagram Us confirmed in April 2020 that Joe had lost his most recent deportation appeal to return to the U.S. "This cause came to be considered on a petition for review from the Board of Immigration Appeals and was submitted on November 21, 2019," the court documents read.

See you at the altar my love In the photos, the HGTV personality wore a black brocade blazer over a coordinating shirt. The former Playboy model, for her part, wore a tulle Galia Lahav strapless dress that had her "feeling like a princess," she noted via Instagram Story at the time. Completing the look, she added a pair of heels that said "Wifey for Lifey" on the soles and a side braid with white butterfly hairpins. During the rehearsal dinner with their family and friends, the happy couple enjoyed speeches from both of their fathers, good friends and El Moussa's 11-year-old daughter, Taylor. "Heather told my dad that he had chicken legs," Taylor noted during a brief speech captured via her dad's Instagram Story on Friday.

He even admits that until they die he will never forget what she said … about his chicken legs." The couple, who are set to wed on Saturday, October 23, shared their excitement that morning while getting ready. "On our wedding day … Our forever [red heart emoji]," the Netflix star wrote via Instagram Story on Saturday, alongside a quote that read, "Everything you are going through right now is exactly what you need.

| She's the One! Jessica Batten's Fiance Recalls How He Knew It Was Love Posted: 23 Oct 2021 11:06 AM PDT  From the DMs to happily ever after! After initially connecting via Instagram, Love Is Blind's Jessica Batten and Dr. Benjamin McGrath dated for more than one year before getting engaged on September 10, and nearly one month later, she learned how her beau knew she was "The One." 'Love Is Blind' Season 1 Cast: Where Are They Now? Read article"When did I know? I've got two kids, and just seeing her with the kids just felt like family," the foot and ankle surgeon, 35, exclusively told Us Weekly during a joint interview with the reality TV personality, 36, while attending Whitney Cummings' Touch Me standup show in Anaheim, California, on Friday, October 22. "[It] just was natural. That was the biggest thing." The California native — who has two children, Poppy, 6, and Ethan, 5, from a previous relationship — and his soon-to-be bride gushed about how the little ones handled meeting the Illinois native. "[They're] so sweet," Batten told Us while dishing on their bond. "They love everything and everyone, which made it easy for me. "It's funny because we all share the same birth week. They bookend me, so we all have this weird kindred spirits thing going on." The couple already lives with his kids and the Love Is Blind: After the Alter alum has been ready to step into the stepmother role, though McGrath joked that she was "one of the kids." Celebrity Engagements of 2021: Stars Who Got Engaged This Year Read article"It's fun," Batten explained. "It's weird [because] doing things for the first time now is really exciting [because] you think about them and they're experiencing things totally differently. But all the things that I would do like in the closet before, like, drink chocolate milk and watch cartoons in bed all day Saturday — they want to do that! So it's actually a lot of fun." McGrath popped the question to the former Atlanta resident last month, to her complete astonishment.  "It was a complete surprise, she had no idea," he revealed to Us. "One day, I was just, like, 'I'm going to do it, we gotta make this happen.' … We'd never talked about a ring or anything like that, so I kind of planned it around her dad coming into town, with him kind of facilitating the surprise. And it turned out pretty good, I think we got her pretty good." Batten recalled feeling completely "overwhelmed" after seeing her beau down on one knee. "It took me a minute, but I recited a line from Suits," she remembered. "When we were [doing] long-distance, we were watching Suits, and we would just be on FaceTime and set the phone there and we'd just be watching together. So instead of saying yes, I said, 'Do I have a brain in my head? Do I have a heart in my chest?' And he liked that. Then, he forgot to put the ring on, so I reminded him, 'You have to put the ring on now.'" While the reality TV star has found her dream wedding dress, the pair haven't begun wedding planning just yet. Batten was previously engaged to Mark Cuevas after he popped the question sight-unseen on the Netflix dating show in 2018. After a tumultuous journey out of the pods, she eventually walked away from the personal trainer during the finale, which aired in February 2020. The 27-year-old recapped their would-be wedding day shortly after the finale aired. "I went into the wedding day just being like, 'I'm going to be in the moment.' I, like, blacked out. I think I was just so nervous," Cuevas exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. "Everyone's just staring at you until she walks in. And then I'm like, 'Oh, damn.' I still remember it. I'm playing it back right now in my mind. I just felt what I felt. … I refer back to when we first saw each other and that was, like, the best moment. That moment will always resonate in my head because I felt like I was on top of the world. I kind of felt the same thing when I was up there. I was on top of the world." Most Tumultuous Relationships in Reality TV History Read articleThe Meta Training Athletics founder, for his part, later got engaged to Aubrey Rainey in November 2020 before welcoming son Ace in April. The couple announced they are expecting their second child on Friday, October 22. Months before Cuevas announced his engagement, Batten and McGrath made their love Instagram official in July 2020. Before they started dating, McGrath knew exactly who she was, having seen the first season of the pod-based dating show. "I love that he watched it because I felt like he got to see what I went through," Batten noted. "Now on the other side of it, obviously we're much happier with how things turned out on this last little blip of LIB. And he's been part of the journey and he's super accepting and super supportive of all of it, so I can't imagine anyone better." With reporting by Hannah Kahn  |
| Supportive Fiances! How Katie Thurston, Blake Moynes Navigate Long-Distance Posted: 23 Oct 2021 08:50 AM PDT  From roses to real life! Following Katie Thurston's whirlwind Bachelorette romance with Blake Moynes, the pair have since focused on navigating real life, balancing careers and residing in separate countries. Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes' Relationship Timeline Read article"I'm, like, totally winging my life right now," the former Bachelorette, 30, told Us Weekly of her excitement to reunite with the Canada native, 31, while backstage at Whitney Cummings' Touch Me Tour on Friday, October 22. "I literally leave tomorrow in San Diego at, like, six in the morning. So I'm driving back home after [the comedy show in Anaheim, California] at some point." Since the pair's televised engagement — which aired in August on ABC — they have been working on blending their real lives and navigating long-distance.  "We're figuring it out," the Bachelor season 25 alum said. "We don't know. This is very new to us still. I'm just focusing on myself, he's focusing on him, and if we work doing that, great." Moynes, who is based in Canada, has been rescuing rhinos in Africa earlier this month, but still found time to support his partner, who made her stand-up debut during the 39-year-old Female Brain star's Friday night tour stop. Mic Drop! Katie Thurston's Fiercest Clapbacks on Social Media Read article"The face you make when you realize your fiancé has bigger balls than you! While gushing over her beau's support, the Washington native noted that she was the most excited about "not traveling back and forth" and settling down together "eventually." "I was surprised [over his post]," Thurston told Us. "I mean for him to be so supportive publicly, it actually meant a lot. For him to be, like, 'you have such big balls.' No, it's p—sy power, okay?" Moynes, who originally appeared on season 16 of The Bachelorette, returned to the franchise during the fifth week of the following journey to meet the popular TikToker. After a whirlwind courtship, the pair got engaged during the season 17 finale. "I think everyone can agree that this is exactly who I was supposed to be with," Thurston noted during the After the Final Rose special, which aired in August. "He fought to be here for me and chose to stay even when I'm telling him to his face that I considered leaving. That he was confident enough to hold both of us till the end, I'm just so lucky. I love him so much." Status Check! Bachelor Nation Couples Who Are Still Going Strong Read articleSince then, the pair's relationship has continued to flourish, as Moynes met Thurston's cat, Tommy, and they each visited each other's respective home countries. "I don't think people fully understand what it's like to date someone from another country and the rules behind that and the visas behind that," the former bank marketing manager explained via Instagram Story video on August 25. "I think right now Blake can only be here for 60 days before having to go back to Canada, so we really do have a lot we have to look into — and we just haven't yet — before we can plan really anything else." Friday's standup gig at the City National Grove of Anaheim marked the first time that the Bachelorette season 17 lead tried her hand at comedy in front of a live audience after the "Good for You" podcast host convinced her to open up for her during a September episode. "Look, I wanted to bail a thousand times, and somehow I am still sitting right here about to do it," Thurston admitted. "Truthfully, I think [Whitney] believed in me more than I believed in me. I was like, okay, she's pushing me, and I'm, like, 'I can't say no to this opportunity.' This will never come again. So I'm here. I don't know how I made it here, but I am here at this moment."

| Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' Relationship Timeline Posted: 23 Oct 2021 06:15 AM PDT These days, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are royalty as far as Hollywood couples go, but the Detective Pikachu star and the Age of Adaline actress were once just two friends out on a double date — with other people! As Reynolds told Entertainment Weekly's SiriusXM show in February 2016: "We went on a double date. She was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl — and that was, like, the most awkward date for the respective parties because we were just like fireworks coming across." Still, the Critics' Choice winner said he was glad that the two started off as "buddies." "I remember it was funny, because for about a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and all that stuff, we were both single," he said of their shared 2010 film. "I think the best way to have a relationship is to start as friends." It's certainly worked out for the duo. Not only did they go to tie the knot in September 2012, but they have since welcomed three children together. The pair share daughters James and Inez — born in 2015 and 2016, respectively — and a third daughter, born in the summer of 2019. Us Weekly broke the news of baby No. 3's arrival in October 2019. Nearly a year later, Taylor Swift released "Betty" on her Folklore album, sparking speculation that the couple named their youngest daughter Betty — she also sang about Inez and James on the track. In August 2020, the musician confirmed that she "named all the characters in this story after my friends' kids." Ahead of becoming a family of five, Reynolds joked about the couple's relationship trajectory. "One of the most common things in the world is making out, having a couple of drinks, and then doing it, and then having a baby. I was perfectly sober for this one, though. I gotta say," Reynolds told EW in his 2016 interview, after the pair's second child was born. "It's amazing." As for the Shallows star, she told Vogue in August 2014: "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." They also famously troll one another on social media: Lively razzes Reynolds about his parenting skills, while he teases her cooking abilities, ranking them beneath pal Jake Gyllenhaal's.

"We hung out and we always kind of kept in touch sort of casually and, next thing you know, she was going to Boston. I was going to Boston and I said, 'I'll ride with you.' … I was just begging her to sleep with me."

"She was essential in every part of the making of this film, creatively and emotionally, and the cameo everyone is talking about was entirely her idea. #WorkWife" Courtesy of Ryan Reynolds/Instagram When Reynolds announced that he would be taking "a little sabbatical from movie making" after wrapping the film Spirited, his wife couldn't resist jumping into his Instagram comments section for a little teasing.

| Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ Most Savage Trolling Moments Posted: 23 Oct 2021 06:14 AM PDT All's fair in love and trolling wars — just ask Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. The couple, who got married in 2012, are known for their spot-on social media snark, which is more often than not aimed at their famous significant other. For much of the duo's relationship, the two have been savagely one-upping each other. Reynolds has poked fun at his wife for closing her eyes in photos, committing supernatural infidelity and unfollowing him on Instagram. The Shallows star, for her part, has thrown her husband under the bus for his less than stellar motorcycle skills, flexing his muscles while saving a turtle and wanting pie instead of cake on his birthday. When Lively and the Deadpool star's trolling quickly escalated to include jokes about them splitting up or cheating on each other with Anna Kendrick or Gigi Hadid, fans were nervous, but they realized it was just par for the course. The parents of daughters James, Inez and Betty are "two extremely proud and private people and keeping their relationship low-key and off radar is what's worked so well for them over the years," a source exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2020. "Away from the cameras, people may find it surprising to hear they're just a regular couple who love to hang out and do the normal things together without making a song and dance about it all." However, playful ribbing on Instagram and Twitter is fair game for this internet savvy pair, which is why no one is all that surprised if the Free Guy star posts a happy birthday message to his wife featuring a video of Mariah Carey. It's also totally normal for the Gossip Girl alum to mock Reynolds' performance in Detective Pikachu. "I mean, he didn't even change his voice," she joked on Twitter in 2019. "It just sounds like him." The loving wisecracks might be standard practice for these two, but that doesn't mean it isn't hilariously funny for the A Simple Favor actress to make fun of her husband's celebrity alcohol brand, Aviation Gin, only to have him throw shade her way when she launched her own line of non-alcoholic mixers in September 2021. Occasionally, the couple even team up to troll for a good cause. After Gerard Butler admitted he didn't know what Free Guy was because he doesn't watch Reynolds' movies in a September 2021 interview, the Definitely, Maybe actor and Lively used the headline-making fake feud to raise money for the American Civil Liberties Union and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Keep scrolling to relive Lively and Reynolds' most savage trolling moments.  Ah, the early days of the Reynolds' savagery. The Deadpool actor told David Letterman shortly after the couple's first daughter, James, was born that his priorities had shifted. "I used to say to [Blake], 'I would take a bullet for you. I could never love anything as much as I love you.' I would say that to my wife," he said during a February 2015 appearance on The Late Show. "And the second I looked in that baby's eyes, I knew in that exact moment that if we were ever under attack, I would use my wife as a human shield to protect that baby." Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic Reynolds shared an Instagram photo of a man riding a motorcycle without holding on with the caption, "Don't try this at home," in May 2015. His wife quickly took him down a peg with her reply: "…Because he already tried!! @vancityreynolds just posted some great advice, but he forgot to mention one small detail. #Hypocrite#I'dGive70dollarsColdHardCashToWhoeverCouldResistHim #TooInLike." Kevin Mazur/WireImage Lively shares a birthday with the country singer, a fact that Reynolds had fun with in August 2016. "Just want to wish Billy Ray Cyrus the most special, magical birthday ever. I love you with all my heart," he tweeted. "Also, Happy Birthday to my wife." Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images "My wife is very good at cooking, and Jake might just be a little bit better," Reynolds said of his Life costar during a March 2017 Good Morning America appearance. When host Michael Strahan suggested the Gossip Girl alum might not be happy about his assessment, the Definitely, Maybe actor quipped: "I'm moving out at the end of the month. I'm actually moving out right now, under this desk. I'm already making plans." Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images Being recognized as one of Time's 100 most influential people should be an honor, but Legend totally stole Reynolds' thunder in April 2017. "Congratulations to the most influential person in my life," Lively teased on Instagram. "The best man I know… you deserve this @time 100 honor … If only my husband wasn't blocking you in this shot. I'm so sorry @johnlegend." Patrick McMullan/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images The Proposal star shaded his wife when he cropped her out of an Instagram photo on her birthday, but the Age of Adeline actress got her revenge once her husband's b-day rolled around in October 2017. "Happy birthday, baby," Lively captioned a pic of Reynolds and Gosling, with the former cropped out of the shot. Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Lively poked fun at Reynolds over not knowing how to use a cellphone in February 2018. "Why won't this damn app swipe right?!?!!" she wrote in his Instagram comments, to which he wittily replied: "Because it's the E-Harmony app." The Shallows star played along. "Can you show me how to download that? Ever since Ashley Madison closed I've been so lonely," she responded. The Just Friends actor cheekily retorted: "Awww. Happy Valentine's Day." Bennett Raglin/WireImage When a news outlet reported in March 2018 that the couple were having trouble spending quality time together, Reynolds did not miss the chance to laugh about it. "I wish," he replied on Twitter. "I could use a little 'me time.'" VALERY HACHE/AFP/Getty Images Lively applauded an intricate braid she styled in an April 2018 Instagram post, completely overlooking Reynolds in the process. "If there's one thing I'm infinitely proud of in this picture, it's the incredible hair styling that I did on myself," she wrote. He commented: "I was so happy back then." Mike Coppola/Getty Images This was more than a trolling moment. It was a work obligation! Lively briefly unfollowed a number of accounts — including her husband's — to promote her film A Simple Favor in May 2018. "Definitely stings. It's a terrible way to find out that I've been kicked out of the house, to be honest," the Green Lantern actor said when asked about the move. "Absolutely terrible. I don't know where rage like that comes from." Gilbert Carrasquillo/FilmMagic Reynolds jokingly prodded his wife to share the plot of A Simple Favor in May 2018, but the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star didn't fall for his pleas. "Oh darling, of all the secrets I'm keeping from you, this should be the LEAST of your concerns," she tweeted. "trust me." Dia Dipasupil/WireImage "@annakendrick47 is the hotter, female(r) version of my husband… so would it reaaaally count as cheating??" Lively asked her Instagram followers about her Simple Favor costar in June 2018. Reynolds took the blow in stride. "The most ambitious crossover event in history," he replied. "I'll miss you both. Tell my story." Ethan Miller/Getty Images Lively posted a promotional photo from her film A Simple Favor — an image of her character standing over a scantily clad man offering her a martini — to Instagram in September 2018. Reynolds commented on the pic, writing, "He seems nice." Photo By Tim Palen In November 2018, after a news outlet tweeted a story about a woman who says she has had sex with 20 ghosts and now claims to be engaged to one, Reynolds replied, "THIS is how I find out?" INSTAR Images In a video Reynolds posted to Twitter in February 2019, Lively ragged on her husband's job voicing the titular critter in the film Pokémon Detective Pikachu. "I mean, he didn't even change his voice. It just sounds like him," she said. And when Reynolds suggested that his daughters would respect his work in the movie, the actress laughed and said, "We're not going." Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock The Free Guy actor marked Lively's 32nd birthday in August 2019 by posting an Instagram slideshow of photos in which she has her eyes closed or is cropped out of the frame. Courtesy of Ryan Reynolds/Instagram After a fan commented "Get that baby outta there!" on a photo of Lively's baby bump in August 2019, Reynolds responded to say he had a message for the couple's third child: "I keep whispering, 'Stay in …'" Courtesy of Ryan Reynolds/Instagram Lively poked fun at her husband for his choice of birthday "cake" when he turned 44 in October 2020. "1) Who is the lost soul that selects birthday PIE," she captioned two Instagram photos showing Reynolds smiling as he was presented with a pie studded with candles. "2) What ANIMAL eats their cake (pie) without first blowing out the candles. @vancityreynolds that's who. Happy Birthday. I honestly can't believe we're still married." Courtesy Blake Lively/Instagram The Los Angeles native shared in December 2020 that four of her "favorite things in the world" come from Vancouver, Canada, which is her husband's hometown. The first three things were delicious desserts from the city, including ice cream, doughnuts and pie. "And the 4th of course is @askforluigi," she wrote alongside the photo of cake, cookies and more from Ask for Luigi restaurant. "…Who did you think I was gonna say??" Lively teased her husband a little more by adding a Deadpool gif in the corner of the image. Dave Allocca/Starpix/Shutterstock Lively celebrated the model's 26th birthday in April 2021 by poking fun at Reynolds. "Happy Birthday @gigihadid," she captioned an Instagram Story photo of herself sitting between her husband and her pal. "I think you and I make a much better couple." Courtesy of Blake Lively/Instagram "Are we supposed to believe this isn't a post about your fine ass arms?" Lively wrote in an Instagram direct message to her husband after he posted a photo of a turtle hiding under his car, which he later removed. During the rescue mission, Reynolds' arm muscles were on full display, which Lively pointed out via her Instagram Story in July 2021. "But wait, there's more," she captioned one of the zoomed-in snaps. "You're welcome." The California native added a whipped cream and cherry on top GIF alongside one muscle photo, while adding fireworks to another. Courtesy Ryan Reynolds/Instagram; Courtesy Blake Lively/Instagram "My favorite thing that's ever happened on August 25th," Reynolds wrote via his Instagram Story in August 2021, alongside a TikTok video with Carey, not his wife, on her 34th birthday. In the clip, Carey is singing "Fantasy" while Reynolds is "loading" his page. When the actor begins lip-syncing and making butterfly motions with his arms, the Grammy winner gives him a major look of disappointment, which he loves. "I'm still recovering from that side-eye," he commented on Carey's original post. Courtesy Ryan Reynolds/Instagram Lively referred to Reynolds' Aviation Gin when she launched her Betty Buzz sparkling non-alcoholic mixers in September 2021. "Well, at least it's not a celebrity alcohol? Meet @BettyBuzz mixers," she tweeted, to which he replied, "Luckily they pair deliciously with @AviationGin. Coincidence? Conspiracy? Hard to say." Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock After the Spirited actor announced via Instagram that he was taking a little break from acting to spend more time with his family, Blake took a playful jab at his big news in the comments. "Michael Caine did it first," she joked on October 17, making a reference to the British actor who alluded he may soon retire from acting in an interview from earlier that same month.
