| Puppy Love! Camila Talks Being ‘Thankful’ and ‘Grateful’ After Shawn Split Posted: 25 Nov 2021 02:11 PM PST  Feeling blessed! Camila Cabello reflected on all the positives in her life on Thanksgiving — less than two weeks after she confirmed her split from Shawn Mendes. "I have a lot to be thankful for, but I'm especially grateful that I gotta whole squad trying to hang w[ith] me while I meditate  The former Fifth Harmony singer shared a video of herself surrounded by dogs — including the former couple's puppy, Tarzan, who they got in November 2020. "Even though I haven't met a lot of you, you guys show me love, kindness, and support and I'm sending it to all of you right back! After all, we're all alive at the same time in this crazy, confusing, magical world and I do believe we're all interconnected and are never truly alone," Cabello continued. "Grateful for my human family and friends and my plant and animal family and friends The "Never Be the Same" singer's positive message came after she and Mendes, 23, announced their split on November 17. "Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever," the pair wrote in a joint statement at the time. "We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward. Camila and Shawn." Cabello and Mendes began dating in July 2019 after being friends for years. The Cuba native and the Canadian crooner grew even closer in 2020 when they quarantined together amid the coronavirus pandemic before calling it quits earlier this month. "It's not just the happy blissful moments you see in pictures and videos — when you're in a relationship with someone, it feels like they are this mirror reflecting yourself back to you," the "Havana" singer wrote via Instagram in November 2020 of her and the "Stitches" singer's romance. "I constantly have to confront my fears, my anxieties, my insecurities, my patterns of thinking, my beliefs about life and about myself. It's not as simple as it looks in pictures sometimes. Sometimes, it's messy and uncomfortable and ugly lol. But there's nothing like the pull, the FORCE that is love, to be the light in the darkness — to be the gravitational pull that gives you the relentless strength to be braver, wiser and better than you were yesterday." Despite having gone their separate ways, a source exclusively told Us Weekly in November that the musicians "still have a ton of love and respect for each other." The insider noted that Cabello and Mendes decided that they "need a break from each other to evaluate where each of them are at," adding that the former flames are "not saying never, just not now." |
| Madison Is ‘Thankful’ Her Fiance Brett Loves Her Even Though She ‘Can’t Cook’ Posted: 25 Nov 2021 02:01 PM PST Her Prince Charming! After going through a public relationship and breakup with her Southern Charm costar Austen Kroll, Madison LeCroy has made it clear that she found something special with fiancé Brett. LeCroy’s romance with Kroll was first introduced to Southern Charm viewers during season 6. The duo’s on and off relationship lasted for two years before Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that they called it quits in December 2020. "We are not together right now. I am 1,000 percent single, and so is he," the salon owner told Us at the time. "So, ladies, if you want him, you can have him." Following their split, LeCroy made headlines when she was linked to Jay Cutler after Kroll grew close to Kristin Cavallari. Later, rumors swirled that the South Carolina native had previously been in contact with Alex Rodriguez, who was engaged to Jennifer Lopez at the time. In April 2021, the salon owner teased on social media that she was seeing someone new. Two months later, LeCroy and the mystery man made their romance Instagram official. “Madhappy,” the reality star captioned a few adorable photos of her and Brett via Instagram in June 2021. That same month, LeCroy revealed to Us that she was in "the most grown-up relationship” yet. "We have adult conversations. We talk about the future and we have the same kind of ideas about where we want our lives to go," she told Us at the time. "When I was married before, you [have] to [remember] I was 19 years old, 20 years old, it was a different kind of love and this is something that just feels right." The hairstylist, who was previously married to Josh Hughes from 2010 to 2015, explained that her new beau is “actually a man” who “has his s–t together and is very respectful." LeCroy also noted that their relationship had already hit a major milestone when Brett met her son Hudson, who she welcomed in 2012 with her ex-husband. "My son's father knows a lot about him through my son and my son saying that I seem happy and he's really nice to mom, and all these things," she shared with Us. "One of my favorite things about him was on Mother's Day, he sent flowers to my house and said that they were from my son. Very sweet. Very thoughtful. And his family's wonderful as well. I'm very excited about this." As the pair’s connection continued to grow, LeCroy revealed that she wouldn’t mind walking down the aisle again. “I would love to get married again. I actually enjoyed being married,” the Bravo personality mentioned to Us in September 2021. “Just didn’t work out the first time. So hopefully second time is the charm.” One month later, LeCroy confirmed to Us that she was engaged to Brett after less than one year of dating. “I’m excited to announce that I am engaged!” she exclusively told Us in October 2021. “Oh, my gosh. I am so excited and I feel like I’ve been trying to hold this in for quite some time and it has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do.” At the time, LeCroy gushed about getting to have a proper wedding and a marriage. “There’s something about being married. That’s such a secure feeling that I can’t explain it,” she added. “It’s just a partnership and like a united front that you can’t break that I like. I look forward to that.” Scroll down to relive LeCroy’s sweet romance with Brett:  During Southern Charm's season 7 reunion in February 2021, Craig Conover claimed that LeCroy “flew to Miami to f–k an ex-MLB player.” She later confirmed that Rodriguez was the athlete mentioned during the episode, but denied that they ever hooked up. “He contacted me. And yes, we DMed,” LeCroy said at the time. “But other than that, there was nothing. I’ve never physically seen him, touched him. I am not a f—king liar and I will stand up for that.” In February 2021, a source close to the former New York Yankees player claimed that Rodriguez "never met" LeCroy. Two months later, Rodriguez and Lopez confirmed that their relationship was officially over. After a person wrote, “Mmmm A-Rod on his way girl get bags pack he coming for you,” on one of LeCroy's Instagram pics, she clapped back, writing, “I have a boyfriend!” That same month, another source noted to Us that "Madison is happy in her new relationship. She wanted to tell everyone she has a boyfriend because she was sick of hearing everyone claim she was hooking up with [Alex Rodriguez]." Courtesy of Madison LeCroy/Instagram  LeCroy and Brett made their relationship official when the Southern Charm star shared a photo of them cuddling on a boat. Another snap showed the duo sharing a kiss during their romantic trip. Courtesy of Madison LeCroy/Instagram  LeCroy detailed to Us how she first met Brett during a trip to Arizona earlier that year. “I did not know him at this time, but I go into this bar and we immediately lock eyes from across the room. It was, like, instant. And I mean you really can’t miss him. … He’s absolutely stunning,” she recalled in June 2021. “I said, ‘You can take me out, but you’ll have to take me out in Charleston, South Carolina.’ And he says, ‘I’m fine with that. When are you available?’” After the twosome's first date in Charleston, LeCroy admitted that she “fell in love instantly." “We had been together pretty much non-stop since then,” she shared with Us. “I just kept it private because I wanted to have a fair shot at being in love and, like, having no outside opinion. But I also am not going to hide my life because of trolls or people on social media who want to speak my narrative." Courtesy of Madison LeCroy/Instagram  The makeup artist noted that having a boyfriend who isn't active on social media allowed her to take a break from the online world as well. "It's been so nice to actually be with someone where I'm not worried about what's happening on the internet about me because I'm occupied with the man of my dreams,” LeCroy told Us at the time. “I'm not on my phone. I'm busy living my best life.” LeCroy gushed that Brett's outlook on life "makes me want to be a better person." “He always opens my door for me and in my opinion, he puts me before myself and I'm not used to that either. I kind of have always been the one being like, 'Oh well you need to do this and you need to do that,'” the TV personality explained. “He's not a big drinker, definitely not a partier at all, which I love." Courtesy of Madison LeCroy/Instagram  “Hiking, nature girl!” LeCroy said in one Instagram Story from her getaway with Brett to Park City, Utah in July 2021. At the time, LeCroy continued to post snaps of her and Brett having fun at the Utah Olympic Park. Courtesy of Madison LeCroy/Instagram  Although LeCroy and Brett are located in different places, the Bravo star detailed how they were able to make long-distance dating work. "Our goal for that is we always try to plan the next trip before we leave. So it's kind of, like, 'OK, where are we going next? Where are we meeting? Are you coming here? Am I going there?'" she exclusively told Us in September 2021. "That's what makes it work, I think." LeCroy also revealed that she was very serious about Brett because their relationship just felt different to her. "This is like my mom said, 'You'll know when you know.' That's exactly how I feel with this. It's crazy to have someone that respects you as much as I respect him," she mentioned. "Like for the first time in my life ... I feel like I'm finally grown up and found a man." Courtesy of Madison LeCroy/Instagram  After announcing her engagement news on Amazon Live, LeCroy gushed about the perfect proposal that included her son, Hudson. "We got home and he proposed to me in the living room and my son's behind him just clapping," she told Us. "I completely blacked out at that point of whatever he was saying. I had no idea. I was just crying [and] I'm like the worst crier too. So it was perfect." Having Brett and her son working on this special moment together meant a lot to the Southern Charm star. "I think my son looks up to him in so many ways. It's because he's such a good influence and not only on him, but even me as a person. He makes me want to be like the best version of myself," LeCroy noted. "I have, like, waited my whole life to find someone that treats me the way he does. So I'm very honored to be his bride and I'm so excited to marry him." Courtesy of Madison LeCroy/Instagram |
| Lauren Bushnell and Chris Lane Take Son Dutton to NYC for 1st Thanksgiving Posted: 25 Nov 2021 01:58 PM PST Three years after Bachelor viewers watched Lauren Bushnell get engaged on national television, the former flight attendant confirmed that she was set to be married again — and this time, she headed to the altar with country singer Chris Lane. Bushnell shared the happy news on Instagram on June 18, 2019, as she praised her future husband. "I can't stop smiling "PS he wrote me a song The pair married in Nashville in October 2019, after less than a year together. The Oregon native was previously engaged to Bachelor season 20 star Ben Higgins, whose proposal to her was telecast in the season's March 2016 finale. Higgins and Bushnell then starred in the spinoff show Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After? before ending their engagement in May 2017. That July, Bushnell started dating Devin Antin, but she and the real estate investor split in August 2018. Four months before calling it quits, she watched Lane perform at Stagecoach and even went backstage to hang out with him. She was attending the music festival with Antin, but he was not backstage during Bushnell's meet-and-greet with her future husband. All those romantics ups and downs are history, though, now that she and the "I Don't Know About You" crooner heard wedding bells. Scroll down to revisit the couple's relationship timeline, starting with one of their first public outings.  Us Weekly confirmed the duo were dating after they got close on the BMI Country Music Awards red carpet in November 2018. “Chris had his arm around Lauren as they walked onto the red carpet and they posed together,” an onlooker told Us at the time. “Lauren was standing front row during Chris’ performance.” Leah Puttkammer/FilmMagic  The following day, Lane and Bushnell walked arm-in-arm on another red carpet, that of the 2018 CMA Awards. Ethan Miller/Getty Images  Before he started dating Bushnell, Lane dated another Lauren B. — namely, Lauren Barr, another contestant from The Bachelor season 20. “Chris was dating LB right before Lauren,” a source told Us in November, adding that Bushnell had called Barr a couple of days prior “to tell her that they were together.” Getty Images (2); Sjodin/Walt Disney Television via Getty Images via Getty Images  Lane stoked engagement rumors in January 2019 when he raved about his “great day on the course with [his] potential future father-n-law,” i.e. Bushnell’s father. (“Y’all, just so you’re aware, I’m not engaged,” the singer later clarified in his Instagram Stories.) Courtesy of Chris Lane/Instagram  At the 2019 ACM Awards in April, Lane told Entertainment Tonight he was “working on” a proposal to Bushnell. “Don’t tell her that, though,” he joked at the time. Ethan Miller/Getty Images  The couple took a romantic trip to Saint Barthélemy in May 2019, and enjoyed the Caribbean waters, swimming with sea turtles, and trying their hand at stand-up paddle boarding. Courtesy of Lauren Bushnell  Lane made good on his proposal promise on June 16, 2019, popping the question at his future wife’s family home in Oregon. John Shearer/WireImage  “Do not expect a long engagement,” a source told Us in June 2019. “They want to start a family sooner rather than later.” AFF-USA/Shutterstock  Bushnell announced in August 2019 that they adopted a dog and purchased a home in Nashville. “It’s without shock to anyone who knows me well but, we have decided to make Cooper a permanent part of our family,” she wrote via Instagram. “So happy we get to love you Coop- now that we have adopted you I’ll start working on your dad and finding you a brother/sister, but for now it’s the 3 of us! Oh! And!! WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!” Courtesy of Lauren Bushnell/Instagram  The twosome celebrated their impending wedding at an engagement party in his native North Carolina in September 2019. “It’s been an incredible year in my career as well as my personal life,” he shared on Instagram. “Took the weekend off to celebrate our engagement in Kernersville with both of our families!! I’m a lucky lucky man!” Courtesy of Lauren Bushnell/Instagram  Lane and Bushnell tied the knot in Nashville in October 2019. Bachelor Nation alums Amanda Stanton, Emily Ferguson, Haley Ferguson and Jen Saviano were among the famous faces in attendance. Courtesy of Lauren Bushnell Lane/Instagram  A month after tying the knot, the newlyweds attended the Country Music Association Awards in November 2019. “It felt different walking the red carpet as a married couple, in the best way” the crooner told Us exclusively at the time. “We knew we really liked each other when we came to the CMAs together last year, but this time around it’s so special to step on the red carpet with someone I love so dearly and introduce her now as my wife.” Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  Ahead of the couple’s first married Christmas together, Lane told Us about his plans with his new wife and where they’d be spending the holidays. “This year, we won’t be starting any new traditions, however, our goal is to have both of our families in Nashville next Christmas in hopes of making that a new Christmas tradition,” the singer said in December 2019. “I’ve always loved family time during the holidays, but it makes it even more special to have the girl I love right by my side.” Courtesy of Lauren Bushnell Lane/Instagram  “Goes to Mexico, wears a flannel. 🇲🇽 Vacation Chris really sticking to his roots,” the former reality star captioned a photo from the duo’s Mexican vacation in February 2020. Courtesy of Lauren Bushnell Lane/Instagram  In March 2020, Lane revealed that the coronavirus quarantine had only strengthened his bond with Bushnell. “I think going through a challenging time can bring people closer together or drive people apart,” the North Carolina native told Us. “I think for us, we’ve realized just how lucky we are to have each other during a time of uncertainty and it has definitely brought us even closer!” Courtesy of Lauren Bushnell Lane/Instagram  The “Hold You Tonight” singer and his wife aren’t planning on kids just yet, but he said “when it happens, it happens.” Although Lane told Us in May 2020 that he doesn’t know “if we’re completely ready for that yet,” he explained that “when it does [happen], it’ll be the right time.” When it comes to the number of little ones, Lane said he’s good with two, but the Oregon native has three siblings, so her number is higher. “She probably wants a lot from what I’ve heard,” he added. Courtesy of Lauren Bushnell Lane/Instagram  The couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary in October 2020. The Bachelor alum shared two photos of the happy couple on Instagram, while her husband posted a five-minute video of their nuptials and wrote, "Happy anniversary @laurenlane I can't believe it's been a year!! Love you Here's to getting old and grey together." Bushnell shared the post on her Stories and wrote, "This video still makes me cry." Courtesy of Lauren Bushnell/Instagram  The Bachelor alum announced in December 2020 that she was pregnant with the couple's first child. "A dream Except I’m not dreaming. I’m wide awake,” Bushnell captioned an Instagram video of her baby’s ultrasound. “Holding your dads hand, watching you dance around in my belly. Listening to your little heart beat. My new favorite sound. A miracle. New life. Our sweet baby. Thank you Jesus! All the glory belongs to You." The "Big, Big Plans" singer also shared the video and wrote, "Prayer works! Hope you look like your Mama." Al Wagner/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  One month after revealing their pregnancy news, the twosome announced that they're expecting a son. "Sweet baby BOY, we cannot wait to meet you! I already love you so much! 💙💙💙," Bushnell wrote via Instagram in January 2021 alongside footage from the day they found out the baby's sex with her family. "I’ve truly never seen Chris/my brothers so excited!" Courtesy Lauren Bushnell/Instagram  The couple enjoyed a babymoon in January 2021 amid Bushnell’s first pregnancy. "Honeymoon/Babymoon all rolled up into one. love you ," she captioned a post filled with several photos from their getaway. Photo by Delaney Royer  The couple welcomed their son, Dutton, in June 2021. Courtesy of Lauren Bushnell/Instagram  “HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!! Aging like a fine 🍷 Dutton and I love you so much,” the Oregon native captioned a gushing birthday tribute to her spouse via Instagram in November 2021, sharing a snap of him cradling their son.

| Gigi Hadid Steps Out for 1st Time Since Zayn Malik Split, Family Drama Posted: 25 Nov 2021 11:55 AM PST  Switching things up! Gigi Hadid stepped out in New York City for the first time since news broke that she and Zayn Malik split after dating on and off since 2015. The 26-year-old star was spotted in the Big Apple with sister Bella Hadid on Monday, November 22. Gigi wore a red Versace jumpsuit with a black turtleneck peeking out, according to photos published by Page Six on Wednesday, November 24. The California native, who shares 14-month-old daughter Khai with Malik, 28, donned a black face covering, matching black beanie and boots as she got into an SUV. Gigi also debuted long, blonde hair days after showing off auburn locks and dramatic bangs via Instagram. Bella, for her part, was seen wearing a black blazer, trousers and pink tee with a fuzzy brown hat as she followed her big sister into the vehicle on Monday. Gigi has been keeping a low profile in November, posting on social media only twice to promote different business ventures, in the wake of her family's drama with Malik — and their split. The One Direction singer reportedly got into a physical altercation with Gigi's mom, Yolanda Hadid, in September. The incident made headlines the following month when a report surfaced that Malik had "struck" the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 57, at his home in Pennsylvania. Malik released a statement via Twitter in October, hinting that Yolanda had "leaked" the story to the press amid his efforts to "create a safe and private space" for his daughter to grow up in. "In an effort to protect that space for her, I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner's who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago," the British crooner wrote at the time. "This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to coparent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves." The "Pillowtalk" musician went on to tell TMZ that he "adamantly" denied striking Yolanda and hoped she would "reconsider her false allegations." While the Netherlands native has yet to publicly speak about the alleged incident, a spokesperson for Gigi released a statement in October asking for "privacy" as she is "solely focused on the best for Khai." The family members did not immediately respond to Us Weekly's request for comments on the situation, but Us confirmed at the time that Gigi and Malik had "silently separated" after reconnecting in January 2020. The duo welcomed their daughter in September 2020 and a source exclusively told Us in October that Malik is still "very much involved in Khai's life." The insider added that while the pair had been "having problems for a while" before they called it quits, they still "care deeply about each other." In October, Malik was charged with four criminal offenses of harassment in relation to the Yolanda incident, which he pleaded no contest to, according to court documents obtained by Us. The "Dusk Till Dawn" singer was fined, ordered to complete an anger management class and a domestic violence program, and put on a 90-day probation for each of the four charges. He was also ordered to stay away from Yolanda and the security guard on the property during the incident. Malik's probation can be terminated by a judge if he meets all of those conditions within six months. In the meantime, a source exclusively told Us in November that Gigi "met with new lawyers to start helping with custody issues" post-split. |
| Andy Cohen Says Son Benjamin ‘Makes It Really Easy’ to Be a Single Parent Posted: 25 Nov 2021 10:48 AM PST Dad mode! Andy Cohen opened up about being a single parent to son Benjamin, noting that his little guy makes his life better. "It’s great. So far, so good," the 53-year-old TV personality told St. Louis' KMOX radio on Tuesday, November 23, while in town for Thanksgiving. "I have a lot of support. I have a lot of women in my life who are helping me out." The Watch What Happens Lives With Andy Cohen host added that his 2-year-old son "makes it really easy" to be a successful parent.  "He’s a cheerful, great kid. He makes it fun. I learn things every day,” Cohen, who welcomed Benjamin in February 2019 via a surrogate, continued. “I think also having a kid later in life is really fun, because you do sweat things, [but] I’m trying to be as laid back as I possibly can.” Earlier this month, the Glitter Every Day author spoke about how he's been able to manage his career and raising his son solo during the past two years. "I just really am vigilant about trying to balance out my schedule," Cohen told Forbes in November. "The good thing about my schedule is I'm in and out all day." The Real Housewives producer explained that he wakes up with Benjamin every morning before going dealing with his work obligations. "I get him ready and then today, I went to radio, did that for a couple hours. I was home in time for lunch," Cohen said. "[I] was home for the next few hours, then I ran out and now I'm home again waiting for him to take a nap. Then, I'll leave again about six o'clock to do what I have to do." The Missouri native noted that "having the consistency" of him being around the house all the time is "the most important thing." Shortly after welcoming his son, Cohen exclusively told Us Weekly how his priorities have shifted. "I just take it day-to-day and I only say yes to things that I'm passionate about and I want to do," the talk show host told Us in July 2019. "I was turning down [opportunities]. They were like, 'Do you want to present an award at the Billboard Awards,' I'm like, 'Yes! But I can't go to Vegas for 24 hours.' I would've in the past." When Cohen does need to jet off, however, he has a variety of babysitters to choose from. When asked whether he would let any of the Real Housewives stars watch his little guy, Cohen exclusively told Us in August 2020 he would "call all of them" for the job. "I think they're all smart enough to know that if they messed up, it would not go well for them," the Most Talkative author said. "They're all moms and they're all good moms." |
| Dolly Parton Shares Rare Photo With Husband Carl in Honor of Thanksgiving Posted: 25 Nov 2021 09:53 AM PST  Have a holly, Dolly Thanksgiving! Dolly Parton celebrated the fall holiday by sharing a throwback photo with husband Carl Thomas Dean. "Happy #Thanksgiving from me and mine to you and yours The "Jolene" songstress wore a black dress with a white ruffle down the front in the vintage photo as her iconic blonde hair stood high atop her head. Dean, for his part, wore a suit, purple shirt and purple and black striped tie.  "Carl Dean was hot! A third fan praised the "Coat of Many Colors" singer for her and Dean's ability to make their marriage last more than 55 years. "I love how wholesome and true you have stayed all these years," the user wrote. "So happy that your marriage has outlasted so many. Parton's throwback photo, which featured the couple sitting on what appears to be a velvet couch, is the second time this month that the singer has given fans a glimpse at her life with Dean, now 79. Earlier this month, the Grammy winner sang her husband's praises while promoting her new apparel launch. "Find you a partner who will support you like my Carl Dean does!" the Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics author captioned an edited throwback photo of the pair via Instagram on November 2. The Dollywood owner smiled while holding hands with her man in the snap. Dean, for his part, wore one of the tees from her new vintage merchandise collection. Over the years, Parton, who married Dean in May 1966, has opted to keep her marriage out of the limelight as much as possible. Earlier this year, however, she honored her love on his birthday by recreating her Playboy magazine cover more than 40 years after she first put on the bunny ears and corset. "Today is July 20. It's my husband Carl's birthday and you're probably wondering why I'm dressed like this," Parton explained in a video via Twitter in July while wearing a black body suit, bunny ears and a bowtie. "Remember some time back I said I was going to pose for Playboy magazine when I was 75? Well, I'm 75 and they don't have a magazine anymore." The "Here You Come Again" musician revealed that her "husband always loved" her original 1978 cover, which is why she decided to slip back into the outfit for his special day. "I was trying to think of something to do to make him happy. He still thinks I'm a hot chick after 57 years — and I'm not going to try to talk him out of that," she added. The "9 to 5" singer may have shown Dean some love on his birthday, but she rarely shows him off in public. In fact, she revealed in October 2020 that part of the key to their successful marriage is keeping her career separate from her relationship. "When people ask me why it's lasted this long, I say, 'Because I stay gone.' And there's a lot of truth in that — the fact that we're not in each other's faces all the time," Parton told Entertainment Tonight at the time. "But we do have a great respect and admiration for each other. We both have a great sense of humor. So, we have a lot of fun." |
| Aaron Rodgers’ COVID-19 Vaccine Controversy: Everything to Know Posted: 25 Nov 2021 09:10 AM PST The fallout from allegations that Aaron Rodgers lied about his vaccination status continues. The Green Bay Packers quarterback came under fire in early November after he tested positive for COVID-19, months after telling reporters he was "immunized." During an August press conference, Rodgers spoke about the National Football League's guidelines ahead of the 2021 season. "You know, there's a lot of conversation around it, around the league, and a lot of guys who have made statements and not made statements, owners who have made statements," he said at the time. "There's guys on the team that haven't been vaccinated. I think it's a personal decision. I'm not going to judge those guys. There are guys that've been vaccinated that have contracted COVID. It's an interesting issue that I think we're going to see played out the entire season." After news broke that Rodgers had contracted coronavirus in November, he claimed that he underwent his own protocol and treatments to "stimulate my immune system to create a defense against COVID" following his own "research" into the COVID-19 vaccine. "I didn't lie in the initial press conference," the football player claimed on The Pat McAfee Show on November 5. "And at the time my plan was to say I've been immunized. It wasn't some sort of ruse or lie … I found an immunization protocol that could best protect me and my teammates. And it was a long-term protocol that involved multiple months." Infectious disease epidemiologist Tara C. Smith subsequently told The Washington Post: "People like Rodgers and others who are publicly doubting vaccines take the opposite tack and just find research that already confirms their preexisting biases. And that's not how science works. … Sometimes treatments can reduce the severity of illness or reduce the length of time you are sick, but vaccination prevents you from becoming sick in the first place." During his lengthy appearance on the SiriusXM show, Rodgers claimed that the NFL was aware of his vaccination status, and he was following the guidelines as an "unvaccinated person" despite attempting to appeal the league's ruling with "500 pages of research." According to Rodgers, he was forced to wear a yellow wristband during practice and events with the team to identify his unvaccinated status, is not allowed to leave the hotel or eat with the team during road games, must work out on his own in the weight room and cannot use the sauna. "Some of the rules are not based in science at all. They're based purely in trying to out and shame people," he argued. "Personal health decisions should be private. The shaming and the outing … Everyone has their own story. This shamming, cancel society, that is wrong." In addition to missing at least one game of the season, Rodgers has faced backlash and lost a partnership with a health care company. Scroll through for a breakdown of the controversy:  Rodgers will pay $14,650 for breaking COVID-19 protocols. Though the NFL was aware of his unvaccinated status, he spoke to reporters without a mask multiple times. He also attended a Halloween party despite the rule that unvaccinated players can't gather with more than three teammates outside a team facility. His team, the Green Bay Packers, will have to pay $300,000 for not disciplining him or reporting his violations. Rick Scuteri/AP/Shutterstock  Rodgers claimed that he is allergic to an ingredient in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines and cited blood clot concerns for his reason for not getting the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. (The J&J shot was briefly pulled due to side effects in adult women younger than 50 years old before the CDC recommended resuming the administration of the shot.) Rodgers also cited fertility issues around vaccines as a concern. According to the CDC, “there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccination causes a loss of fertility.” Jed Jacobsohn/AP/Shutterstock  Ahead of week 9 in the NFL season, Rodgers was placed on the COVID-19/reserve list on November 3 after he tested positive for the coronavirus. He said on November 5 that he was feeling better after experiencing symptoms on November 2. AJ Mast/AP/Shutterstock  The NFL announced on November 3 that the league was “reviewing” possible breaches from Rodgers of COVID-19 protocol, including attending press conferences without a face mask and the alleged lack of face masks in facilities. The NFL is also looking into a Halloween party attended by several Packers players. The league also disputed Rodgers’ claims that an NFL doctor told him “it would be impossible for a vaccinated person to catch or spread COVID.” "No doctor from the league or the joint NFL-NFLPA infectious disease consultants communicated with the player,” the NFL said in a statement to Pro Football Talk. “If they had, they certainly would have never said anything like that." Stephen B Morton/AP/Shutterstock  After a nine-year partnership, the Wisconsin-based health care organization announced on November 6 that Rodgers is no longer working with the company. "Prevea Health remains deeply committed to protecting its patients, staff, providers and communities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic," Prevea's statement shared via Twitter read. "This includes encouraging and helping all eligible populations to become vaccinated against COVID-19 to prevent the virus from further significantly impacting lives and livelihoods." Mike Roemer/AP/Shutterstock  Rodgers was unable to play in the Packers’ November 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Backup quarterback Jordan Love stepped in and Green Bay lost 13-7. The earliest Rodgers can be cleared to return is November 13 after a 10-day quarantine. While that makes him eligible to take on the Seattle Seahawks on November 14, he wouldn’t be able to practice with the game at all before the week 10 matchup. The Packers have yet to name a QB for week 10. Ed Zurga/AP/Shutterstock  Rodgers joined "The Pat McAfee Show" again on November 9 and explained that while he stands by what he said during his first interview, he understood why people feel "misled" by his past remarks. "I take full responsibility for those comments. I’m excited about feeling better, I’m excited about moving forward," he said at the time. As for the backlash he received, he recognized that everyone has different views. "I respect everybody’s opinion,” the athlete shared. “I’m human, stuff can definitely hurt your feelings. I shared an opinion that is polarizing. … In the end, I have to stay true to who I am and what I’m about and I stand behind the things that I said." He concluded, "I’m an athlete, I’m not an activist. So I’m going to get back to doing what I do best, and that is playing ball." Willy Sanjuan/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  Rodgers can return to the locker room on November 13 after quarantining for 10 days. He said during his November 9 interview that he will "hopefully" be playing November 14, as long as his body is ready. "There's a possibility, but a small possibility [that I won't play that day]," he shared. "There's a health hurdle that I have to [clear] ... as far as movement, sweating, getting into it, making sure that my body, especially [my] heart is fine with physical exertion. ... I've been doing some walking and some yoga and I'll just amp it up this week." Aaron Gash/AP/Shutterstock  After saying he had "COVID toe" during a November 2021 interview, Rodgers clarified his remarks during a press conference. “I’m glad you asked just so I could show you the lesions of my foot here, so if I have enough room on this camera, let me see if I can,” he said on November 25, lifting his foot up to the camera. “Oh, oh, there’s no lesions whatsoever. Oh, what a surprise! No, that’s actually called disinformation when you perpetuate false information about an individual. I have a fractured toe.” YouTube |
| What Is 'Covid Toe'? Aaron Rodgers Shows Off Bare Foot at Press Conference Posted: 25 Nov 2021 09:07 AM PST  The proof is in the … toes? Aaron Rodgers raised eyebrows once again during his latest interview on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “I’m thankful that I felt good in just a few days and didn’t have any lingering effects other than ‘COVID toe,'” the quarterback, 37, told the hosts before laughing on Tuesday, November 23. However, he didn’t realize “COVID toe” is a real medical condition. It quickly began trending on social media, with fans wondering if he was physically OK. “Covid Toe is a casual name for something medically known as pernio or chilblains, which is a condition that causes symptoms as discoloration and lesions,” the Wall Street Journal reported following his admission. “It can be extremely painful and turn the toes purple.”  On Wednesday, November 24, the athlete cleared up his remark, explaining that he doesn’t have “COVID toe,” but actually fractured his pinky toe. “I’m glad you asked just so I could show you the lesions of my foot here, so if I have enough room on this camera, let me see if I can,” Rodgers said during a press conference, lifting his left foot up to the camera. “Oh, oh, there’s no lesions whatsoever. Oh, what a surprise! No, that’s actually called disinformation when you perpetuate false information about an individual. I have a fractured toe.” He added, “I did get a kick out of reading that article. That was very, very interesting, but I had never heard of ‘COVID toe’ before. Pat made a joke about it on the show, and I mentioned yesterday that it's worse than turf toe and it must be a bone issue. I can't believe I have to again come on here and talk about my medical information.” The Super Bowl champion was amused by the joke, changing his Twitter profile photo to a screenshot of him holding up his foot at the press conference. The California native tested positive for coronavirus in early November, months after claiming he had been “immunized.” He confirmed in a November 5 interview that he chose not to get vaccinated because he had an allergy to an ingredient in both Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. The comments created a great deal of backlash, as well as an investigation by the NFL. Ultimately, Rodgers was fined $14,650 for breaking protocols. While the league was aware he was not vaccinated, he was able to speak to reporters without a mask and attend a gathering with multiple teammates. The Packers were fined $300,000 for not reporting his violations. After 10 days of quarantine in Green Bay, he was able to return to the field on November 14, which he described as an emotional experience. "[I felt] a lot of emotions for sure," the football player told reporters following the game. "Good to be back with the guys, good to be back at home, good to be on the field, really. The most emotions from the whole night was probably walking off the field after the game. It definitely got me a little misty. It was good to feel those types of emotions and good to be back with the guys. … I just don't take these things for granted, walking off the field as a winner. It's fun beating that squad. We've had some battles over the years. Just walking out with Preston [Smith], who I have so much love and appreciation for, and then hearing that type of response from the crowd — it was a little extra special today." |
| Jeff Dye Addresses Clare Crawley Dating Rumors Posted: 25 Nov 2021 07:49 AM PST  Keeping it casual! Jeff Dye and Clare Crawley may be spending time together but they’re not a couple, the comedian told Us Weekly exclusively. "Since my breakup, I basically just do comedy, write, yoga and watch late-night short films about romance,” Dye, 38, told Us. “I met Clare and she's awesome but if sitting by someone at a Lakers game means I'm dating someone, I guess me and my friend Richard have been in a relationship for years.” The Girl Code alum noted that there were three women with him at the game earlier this month and it “was hardly a date” with the 40-year-old former Bachelorette. The pair were set up by mutual friends, a source confirmed to Us earlier this month. "Clare agreed to go on the date because she thought he was handsome,” the insider shared. “They met for coffee after the Lakers game when he was doing shows in San Diego.” While the source noted that the Bachelor in Paradise alum and the Seattle native are “still talking,” they’re not in a “serious” romance since they live in different cities. A second insider added, “They’re just friends.” The California native was previously engaged to Dale Moss after meeting on season 16 of The Bachelorette in 2020. Moss, 33, proposed to the hairstylist two weeks into filming the series, but the duo briefly split in January. The reality stars reconciled one month later but ultimately called it quits for good in September. "At this very moment, I'm OK. Things are up and down for me just in general in my life. Sometimes it's minute to minute," Crawley explained on Jana Kramer's “Whine Down” podcast in October. "[But] right now, I'm OK. And I feel like I'm OK because I'm sitting with a woman that understands my life. We've had similar paths with a lot of things and it's comforting.” The Bachelor Winter Games alum added that she doesn’t really have any regrets about the situation, telling Kramer, “If my biggest regret is trusting the process, trusting a man's words and who he showed me he was, I don't think that that's a regret. I trusted somebody, I believed somebody that they were who that they said they were [and] that they would hold up to the promises that they make when they get down on one knee.” Dye, for his part, was briefly linked to Kristin Cavallari in 2020 following her split from Jay Cutler. Us confirmed that the Uncommon James designer, 34, and the “Jeff Dye’s Friendship Podcast” host split in March after five months. With reporting by Diana Cooper |

| 'Siesta Key' Cast's Dating Histories: A Guide to Who's Hooked Up With Who Posted: 25 Nov 2021 06:06 AM PST Finding love on the beach! Since its 2017 debut on MTV, Siesta Key has featured hookups, breakups, makeups and everything in between. When the show debuted, Alex Kompothecras was at the center. He was introduced as the most popular guy in the Florida town and had worked his charm on many of the women in the area. Before the show began filming, he had a relationship with his lifelong friend Madisson Hausburg and went on to date Juliette Porter and Kelsey Owens before settling down and starting a family with Alyssa Salerno. Madisson, for her part, had an up-and-down journey of her own, dating Brandon Gomes until he cheated. She eventually settled down with the last person anyone expected: the show’s former producer Ish Soto who is 20 years older than her. "It's been a really, really tough journey with, like, social media and just, like, having everyone, you know, constantly tear something that you cherish so much," Madisson told Us Weekly exclusively in May 2021. "It's really tough. I mean, I'm so grateful that people care and want to, you know, put their two cents in and have their opinions and, like, are so invested in our show. But at the same time, like, it's really hard to put ourselves out there and then to get so much criticism in return.” Over the course of the show, fans saw her get emotional when talking about the couple’s future with her family, who didn’t always support the relationship. Eventually, her parents came around and the twosome got engaged in 2020, but had a difficult time planning amid the coronavirus pandemic. "It's a struggle for sure," she said at the time. "It's weird to plan a wedding. We can't have, you know, groups of a hundred people. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that. And I know he wouldn't. So it's tough to plan the dream wedding when you're in COVID." After a season of talking about how much she couldn’t wait to become a mother, Madisson announced her first pregnancy in August 2021. Scroll through the gallery below for a breakdown of everyone who’s dated on Siesta Key:  The original star of Siesta Key dated Madisson throughout high school, then moved on to Juliette during the first season of the show. He also had flings with Kelsey and Cara Geswelli before getting into a relationship with Alyssa Salerno. The pair welcomed a daughter in June 2020. (Alex was cut from the show midway through season 3 following racially charged comments.) Courtesy of Alex Kompothecras/Instagram  When Juliette was first introduced on Siesta Key, she was hooking up with Alex. The pair had an on-and-off relationship for years, even hooking up in Nashville during a group trip when he was in a relationship with Alyssa. She briefly went on to date Garrett Miller and later Robby Hayes before meeting Sam Logan. The pair dated for less than two years, splitting in August 2021. Courtesy of Juliette Porter/Instagram  For the most part, Chloe has kept her relationships private. In May 2021, she revealed she's dating Christopher Long and has since been vocal about their romance on Instagram. The pair announced their engagement in November 2021. Courtesy of Chloe Trautman/Instagram  Madisson dated Alex on and off throughout high school in Siesta Key. During season 1, she sparked a romance with Brandon, but they later split after he cheated. She ultimately moved on with Ish, who was a producer during the show's first season. The duo announced their engagement in August 2020. One year later, they revealed they were expecting their first child. The pair tied the knot in October 2021. Courtesy of Madisson Hausburg/Instagram  When she moved to Siesta Key, Kelsey began dating Garrett Miller. During the first season, she fell for Alex while he was dating Juliette. Since 2020, she has been dating Max Strong. Courtesy of Kelsey Owens/Instagram  During the fourth episode of Siesta Key, Brandon began dating Madisson, who was his best friend Alex's ex. He ultimately cheated on her and the pair split. Brandon went on to have a fling with Amanda Marie Miller and dated Camilla Cattaneo. During an August 2020 reunion special, it was revealed that Brandon had cheated on Camilla and welcomed a child with Delainey Shae. Courtesy of MTV  When Siesta Key began, Garrett was dating Kelsey. After the pair split, he briefly dated Juliette and Cara. In September 2020, he began dating Makenna Quesenberry. The couple revealed their relationship via social media the following month and got engaged in November 2021. Courtesy of Garrett Miller/Instagram |
| Everything Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves Have Said About Their Relationship Posted: 25 Nov 2021 06:00 AM PST Fans have been shipping Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock since they first starred together in the 1994 blockbuster Speed — but, unfortunately, these Hollywood stars are just friends. However, Bullock offered the internet a little bit of hope in November 2021 when she told Esquire that she thinks they could have made it work if they were more than costars. "Nope," she told the magazine when asked if they ever dated. "But who knows." The pair, who reunited on screen in 2006 for The Lake House, have long denied that they ever hooked up off screen — but they may have wished they had. "Keanu’s a guy who, I feel like, is friends with every woman he’s ever dated," the Miss Congeniality star gushed to Esquire. "I don’t think there’s anyone who has something horrible to say about him. So maybe we could have survived [as a couple]. I don’t know.” Oh, what could have been, especially, since both have publicly admitted to having crushes on each other when they shot Speed. “I think about how sweet Keanu Reeves was and how handsome he was,” Bullock said during a December 2018 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The following year, the Matrix star responded to the news that he had a secret admirer, telling host Ellen DeGeneres, "She obviously didn’t know I had a crush on her either.” Yet Bullock still believes that choosing friendship over love was the best decision for them — even if he does still drive her crazy. "When I first met him, I would spend as much time as I could filling a silence, just to feel comfortable. And the more I jibber-jabbered on, the quieter he would get. And I thought, ‘I don't understand what's happening! He's looking at me with eyes of confusion. He's quiet. Did I say something to offend him?’" she said. Turns out, the John Wick star was just a very intense listener — something Bullock wasn't all that used to at the time. Following their deep conversations, she told Esquire that Reeves "would arrive with a note or a little package, saying, 'I thought about what you said.' … How many people do you know like that?" While they could have made an impressive couple, both have found love with others. Following her 2010 divorce from Jesse James, the Virginia native moved on with photographer Bryan Randall in 2015. She is also the mother of two kids Louis and Laila, born in 2010 and 2012, respectively. Meanwhile, Reeves has been dating visual artist Alexandra Grant since 2018. Keep scrolling to see what else the costars have said about their relationship:  Like everyone else, Bullock had a thing for the action star. “It was hard for me to really be serious [on set],” she admitted during a December 2018 appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. “He would look at me and I'd be like …,” she said before trailing off in giggles. When DeGeneres asked why they didn’t date, Bullock joked, "There's just something about me that I guess he didn't like.” Richard Foreman/20th Century Fox/Kobal/Shutterstock  Unfortunately, Reeves was unaware of Bullock’s feelings for him. “She obviously didn't know I had a crush on her either,” he told DeGeneres in May 2019. “It was nice to go to work, she's such a wonderful person and a wonderful actress." Kevork Djansezian/AP/Shutterstock  While filming Speed, Bullock revealed to Reeves that she had never had champagne and truffles. In the moment, it seemed like an inconsequential conversation, but the producer told Esquire in November 2021 that days after they initially spoke, the Point Break actor showed up at her house on his motorcycle with the items in question. “He’s a listener,” she explained. “And it drives. People. Crazy.” Peter Brooker/Shutterstock  If Bullock had dated Reeves, she thinks there’s a possibility they could have been endgame. “Maybe we could have survived. I don't know,” the Gravity star told Esquire in November 2021. “But we didn't have to survive anything. We just get to grow up together on parallel roads and tip our hats and meet for dinner and try to work together.” She continued, “And the longer time goes on, the more in awe I am of the human being. Would I have been able to say that if he had dumped me and made me angry? Probably not." Masatoshi Okauchi/Shutterstock  While they may never date IRL, Reeves is hopeful that they’ll be able to team up again on film. "She's such a wonderful artist and person. And, you know, I think we have good chemistry," he told Esquire in November 2021. "And it would be really exciting and interesting to get the chance to perform with her again." Bullock also believes they have another collaboration in them — and even pitched a possible idea for their next project: a road trip comedy. “It’ll be the bookend of Speed!” the Practical Magic actress told the magazine. “We’ll just be driving really slowly. Pissing the world off. There’s our movie.” Peter Sorel/Warner Bros/Village Roadshow/Kobal/Shutterstock |
| Paige DeSorbo Jokes About Tricking Craig Conover Into Proposing Posted: 25 Nov 2021 05:58 AM PST Two Bravolebrities walked into a Winter House? Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover were friends for years before their relationship took a romantic turn. The Southern Charm star and the Summer House personality crossed paths while starring on their respective Bravo shows. "I met Craig, actually, three years ago and he was single. I had a boyfriend and I absolutely respected that I was in a relationship," DeSorbo told Us Weekly in October 2021, referring to ex Perry Rahbar. While they initially struck up a friendship, DeSorbo and Conover spent more time together in 2021 when they filmed Winter House. The Sewing Down South founder was dating Natalie Hegnauer at the time. "When we got to Vermont, I didn't know he had a girlfriend. So, I was a little bummed when I first got there. But, of course, he was absolutely respectful to his girlfriend," DeSorbo told Us. "And I'm so happy now looking back that he had a girlfriend because we built just a very platonic friendship, which is, like, the base of our relationship now. Everything really does happen for a reason." After wrapping the crossover series, Conover and Hegnauer called it quits. He confirmed he was single in May 2021. Things between him and the fashionista were on by the summer, per insiders, and by the fall, the twosome were officially dating. "We actually love long-distance. We're two people that are very independent and have so much going on during the week," DeSorbo told Us in October 2021, noting she's likely to pop up on Southern Charm, which was currently in production on season 8 in South Carolina. "When we get, like, Monday through Friday to get all of our things done and then I hop on a plane Friday morning, it's fun. I feel like we're more present with each other when we are together. We're not on our phones and we plan and do fun things." Conover, for his part, admitted that the twosome were crushing on each other ever since he filmed an episode of Summer House for Kyle Cooke's birthday in 2019. “We are pretty happy now,” he said in October 2021. “I don’t think either of us has ever dated someone else in the industry. We get each other, it’s nice. We really are each other’s biggest fans, which is something that I’ve always looked for.” Scroll through for a complete timeline of their relationship:  The twosome were joined by Cooke, Amanda Batula, Lindsay Hubbard, Luke Gulbranson, Ciara Miller, Austen Kroll, Andrea Denver, Julia McGuire, Gabrielle Kniery and Jason Cameron to film season 1 of Winter House for 17 days in February 2021. Bravo (2)  After filming on the crossover series wrapped, fans were convinced something went down between DeSorbo and Conover in Vermont after she traveled to Charleston with friends. She denied they were dating during an April 2021 interview with Us. Shutterstock (2)  According to insiders, things started to heat up between the twosome in May 2021. Shutterstock (2)  The pair were hooking up during the summer of 2021. Conover was also spotted filming Summer House season 6 on multiple occasions. PGA TOUR  The duo confirmed their relationship at Batula and Cooke’s September nuptials. “We did get a little drunk at the wedding and threw a Story up there from the photo booth,” DeSorbo told Us one month later. “[But] I’m just waiting [for] the right scenery to happen to snap [an official] pic.” Paige DeSorbo / Instagram  While promoting season 1 of Winter House, DeSorbo gushed about Conover during an exclusive interview with Us. “You’ll just have to see how it kind of plays out toward the end of our vacation. It sounds so cliché, but Craig just gets me,” she said. “There’s a lot of things I don’t have to explain to him because we look at things very similarly. It just fits, like, it just is very natural and it’s a lot of fun.” Paige DeSorbo / Instagram  During an interview with E!'s Daily Pop, Paige shared that the pair celebrated Thanksgiving together with Craig's family in Delaware and her family in New York. When asked about a possible engagement in the future, she quipped, "I mean, we have only been dating for a couple of months. But if I can trick him into a diamond ring, I'm going to do it!"

| Kanye West: 'I've Made Mistakes' in My Marriage to Kim K. Posted: 25 Nov 2021 05:55 AM PST Still worth discussing. Kanye West has not remained mum about his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, since their split. Us Weekly confirmed in February 2021 that the Skims founder filed for divorce from the rapper after six years of marriage and months of rumors about an impending separation. A source revealed that the pair "had a big fight" in December 2020 that pushed her to her breaking point. Kardashian hinted at the reasons behind the split during a June 2021 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. "I just think he deserves someone who will support his every move and go follow him all over the place and move to Wyoming. I can't do that," she explained. "He should have a wife that supports his every move and travels with him and does everything, and I can't. I feel like a f–king failure. It's my third f–king marriage. Yeah, I feel like a f–king loser. But I can't even think about that. I want to be happy." The reality star elaborated on how West's relocation to Wyoming affected their marriage during an episode that aired later that month. "After turning 40 this year, I realized like, 'No, I don't want a husband that lives in a completely different state,'" she noted. "To me, I thought, 'Oh, my God, that's when we're getting along the best,' but then that is sad to me and that's not what I want. I want someone that we have the same shows in common. I want someone who wants to work out with me. … I have all the big things. I have the extravagant everything you can possibly imagine and no one will ever do it like that — I know that, and I'm grateful for those experiences — but I think I'm ready for the smaller experiences that I think will mean a lot." The KKW Beauty founder insisted during the June 2021 Keeping Up With the Kardashians reunion special that there was not "one specific thing that happened on either part" to cause the breakup. Instead, "a general difference of opinions on a few things" led to the decision. Kardashian and West — who share daughters North and Chicago and sons Saint and Psalm — remained friends after their split. They reunited publicly on multiple occasions: He advised her on her 2021 Met Gala ensemble and her Saturday Night Live hosting debut in October 2021 (during which she joked about their divorce) and she agreed to recreate their wedding at one of his Donda listening parties in August 2021. "They have more of a friendship and working relationship as they coparent," an insider told Us in October 2021, adding that she "will be involved with Kanye's work ventures and he will be involved with hers." Scroll through the gallery below to revisit everything West has said about Kardashian since their split.  The Grammy winner seemingly admitted to cheating on the TV personality during their marriage in his August 2021 song “Hurricane.” The lyrics read, “Here I go actin’ too rich / Here I go with a new chick / And I know what the truth is / Still playin’ after two kids / It’s a lot to digest when your life always movin’.” A source told Us the following month that the track was “a testimony from Kanye about everything that went wrong [in his relationship with Kardashian] and him taking accountability,” noting that the “lyrics really speak for themselves.” Another insider revealed that Kardashian was warned about the song’s content. “She wasn’t blindsided, but it is what it is,” the source said. “She’s known her whole marriage/life with Kanye that he’s an open book and there’s nothing she could ever do to stop him from saying whatever he wants. But she had a heads-up.” Shutterstock (2)  Kardashian’s black Balenciaga bodysuit caused a stir at the Met Gala in September 2021, but West showed his support by posting photos of the ensemble — which he helped create — via Instagram. His friend Fonzworth Bentley added in the comments section, “’Look at what my kim did’ – @kanyewest.” Matt Baron/Shutterstock  The musician teased a possible reconciliation with Kardashian in November 2021. “SNL making my wife say ‘I divorced him’ on TV because they just wanted to get that bar off and I never have seen the papers. We’re not even divorced,” he claimed during part one of his Revolt’s “Drink Champs” appearance. “So how we — because [it’s] no joke to me, my kids want their parents to stay together. I want their parents — I want us to be together.” Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  West claimed in November 2021 that people around the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum are sabotaging her attempts to become an attorney. “I feel like there’s people who might not want Kim Kardashian to become a lawyer,” he alleged during part two of his “Drink Champs” appearance. “Because you know what happens if Kim Kardashian becomes a lawyer? That shirt gets a little bit higher, that cleavage gets a little bit more covered up.” Courtesy of Kim Kardashian/Instagram  The “Heartless” rapper once again hinted at a reunion with Kardashian during part two of his “Drink Champs” appearance. “But at the end of the day, I ain’t got the paperwork yet, so I’m [going to] come on this joint and try to save my family and keep my family together,” he said.

I’ve made mistakes. I’ve publicly done things that were not acceptable as a husband, but right now today, for whatever reason — I didn’t know I was going to be standing right here, I didn’t know I was going to be in front of this mic — but I’m here to change that narrative.” He added, "I have to be next to my children as much as possible. So when I’m out [of] the house, I’ve got a house right next to the house. I’m doing everything to be right next to the situation." Later in the speech, he hinted that God will bring them back together, telling the crowd, "If the enemy can separate Kimye, there’s going to be millions of families that feel like that separation is OK … [but] when God — who has already won and is so — brings Kimye together, there’s going to be millions of families that are going to be influenced and see that they can overcome the work of the separation, of trauma of the devil that’s used to capitalize and keep people in misery while people step over homeless people to go to the Gucci store."

| Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes Have ‘Ton of Love’ for Each Other Post-Split Posted: 25 Nov 2021 05:00 AM PST A new normal. Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes may have decided to go their separate ways, but a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly that the pair “still have a ton of love and respect for each other.” “At this point they've decided they need a break from each other to evaluate where each of them are at. They're not saying never, just not now,” the insider says. “It does hurt, but they're both certain this is for the best. Otherwise they wouldn't have done it. Even though the friendship between Cabello, 24, and Mendes, 23, “will never change,” their loved ones saw the split coming. “Their friends are all pretty much of the opinion that it was a classic case of too much, too soon,” the source notes. “The attention became overwhelming, and it did irritate them, Shawn in particular, to keep getting grilled on how serious they were and whether or not they were going to get engaged.” The Cuba native and the “Stitches” performer originally met while opening up for Austin Mahone on tour in 2014. They stayed friends before taking their relationship to the next level five years later. The 100 guest star previously revealed that he thought about proposing to the Cinderella actress sometime in the future. "Yeah, absolutely. I think for me it's always been if I'm not willing to talk about that stuff then I kind of check out a little bit, and I don't know, I really think when you know, you know," he shared with Entertainment Tonight in December 2020. Earlier this year, the twosome sparked engagement rumors after fans noted that the former Fifth Harmony star was wearing a ring on her left hand in a TikTok video, which she attributed to a miscommunication. “I mean, I’d actually like you to enlighten me – which hand is the engagement hand? Because I don’t know,” Cabello said during an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden in August. “My parents are married, and they both lost their ring. Literally, my mom couldn’t tell me, either. She could save me from this, but she doesn’t because she doesn’t know, either!” Two months later, the “Havana” singer got honest about how the twosome utilize therapy to improve their mental health. "For better, for worse, we're very transparent with each other. I think that's why we can trust each other so much, because it's a very 3D human relationship," she told Glamour in her October cover story. "I'll be venting or ranting about something, and he'll be like, 'Have you talked to X about it?' And I'll be like, 'No. I've got to do a session.' And he'll do the same thing to me. I think even just the language of being like, 'Hey, I'm sorry that I've been distant with you or snappy with you. I'm just struggling and I'm feeling kind of anxious.' That level of transparency really helps a lot." Mendes, for his part, reflected on how the duo "give each [other an] extreme amount of patience and understanding." "I think the truth is that when you're struggling with mental health, it turns you sometimes into the version of yourself that you don't like to be — and kind of loving and accepting your person through that, and being there for them through that, is life-changing. We give each other so much space and understanding and patience," he noted to Glamour at the time. The following month, Cabello and Mendes released a joint statement addressing their breakup, which read, "Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever. We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward. Camila and Shawn." According to the source, the exes are “staying in touch and there's no trash talking going on or bitterness on either side.” The insider continued, “It wouldn't surprise anyone if they just take a breather, enjoy the holidays then look to get back together down the line, For more on Cabello and Mendes’ split, watch the video above and look for the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now. |
