Jennifer Garner and BF John Miller's Kids Had 'Casual' 1st Meeting Posted: 18 Apr 2022 06:02 PM PDT ![]() Coming together! Jennifer Garner and her boyfriend, John Miller, just hit a major milestone in their relationship. “John's kids finally met Jen's kids,” an insider exclusively tells Us Weekly of the 13 Going on 30 star, who celebrated her 50th birthday with a food drive on Saturday, April 16. “Lots of kids and family were invited, including John's kids, his parents, his brother and his [brother’s] wife.” The Alias alum shares daughters Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 13, and son Samuel, 10, with ex-husband Ben Affleck, from whom she split in 2015 after 10 years of marriage. Miller, for his part, shares two children with his ex-wife, Caroline Campbell. “They all had friends there,” the source adds of the Juno actress and her beau. “It was casual and easy.” Us broke the news in October 2018 that Garner had been seeing the CaliGroup CEO for six months. "Jen brings out the best in John, and he is the happiest he has probably ever been,” an insider told Us at the time. “It's a loving, healthy relationship.” Less than two years later, however, the duo called it quits. “He was ready for marriage and she just couldn't commit," a source told Us in August 2020. "They parted on very amicable terms." Within nine months, however, the duo decided to give their romance another shot. “Jen and John are back on,” an insider revealed in May 2021. “It started up a few weeks ago.” While the couple are happily reunited, they’re still taking things slow, which is one reason why their children hadn’t met before this past weekend. "They have been keeping their kids separate from their relationship for a long time, but now plan to incorporate their kids more,” a source told Us in September 2021. One month later, another insider revealed that the pair’s friends think an engagement could be on the horizon. “They are totally set on a long-term future together,” the source explained. “They've taken their time to get this committed." After finalizing his divorce from Garner in 2018, Affleck, for his part, has since moved on with Jennifer Lopez. The Argo director, 49, and the Hustlers star, 52, rekindled their romance in April 2021 after originally dating from 2002 to 2004. Earlier this month, the “Get Right” songstress confirmed that she and Affleck are engaged for the second time after calling off their wedding in September 2003. Shortly after Lopez broke the news of their second engagement, an insider told Us that the Oscar winner gave Garner and his family a heads-up before he popped the question. "His whole family knew a little before [the announcement]," the source explained, adding that the newly engaged duo "waited a few days before sharing the news" with the world. "They are both happier than ever." With reporting by Andrea Simpson |
Everything to Know About Blac Chyna’s Lawsuit Against the Kardashians Posted: 18 Apr 2022 05:40 PM PDT Following Blac Chyna‘s split from Rob Kardashian, the model experienced major ups and downs with her ex and his famous family — including a legal battle that’s been ongoing for years. Chyna and Kardashian originally confirmed their relationship in January 2016. The pair got engaged after three months of dating and announced that they were expecting their first child together. Their relationship was documented for their E! reality series, Rob & Chyna, from September to December 2016. After the show was renewed for a second season, the sock designer took to social media to announce the couple’s split. Amid the on and off relationship, E! told Variety that production on Rob & Chyna would be put “on hold” in July 2017. The network noted that the spinoff had "not been in production for several months” as they plan to "follow the [Kardashian] family's lead" on what to do next. Later that year, Chyna sued the Kardashians for allegedly interfering with her reality show’s future. The rapper’s attorney, Lynne Ciani, later offered an update on Chyna’s plans to go forward with the legal battle. "Blac Chyna will seek millions in compensatory and punitive damages from Kris [Jenner], Kim [Kardashian], Khloé [Kardashian], and Kylie [Jenner] for defamation, intentional interference with contract, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage," Ciani said in a statement to Us Weekly in October 2020. "Chyna is beyond thrilled that she will have her day in court." At the time, the lawyer claimed that Chyna's career in reality TV was "permanently damaged" as a result of the Kardashian family. Two months later, a judge ordered the production company behind Rob & Chyna, Bunim/Murray Production, to turn over any unaired footage that was shot for season 2. Chyna and Rob’s relationship made headlines again in March 2022 when the singer claimed that she didn’t receive any child support. "Yesterday I had to give up 3 of my cars … my reasons … morals, beliefs, being a single mother, no support I'm a MAMA," Chyna, who shares daughter Dream with Rob and son King with ex Tyga, tweeted at the time. Rob, for his past, pointed out that he has his daughter from Tuesdays through Saturdays while questioning his ex-fiancée’s allegations. "[I] pay 37k a year for my daughter's school," the California native wrote in an Instagram comment via the Shade Room. "I handle every single medical expense. I pay for all her extracurricular activities. Why would I pay child support? Lol." Less than a week later, Chyna offered an update on her plans to sue the Kardashian family. "I am so thankful that a jury will finally listen to what really happened behind closed doors — the lies that were told and the damage that was done," she tweeted in April 2022. "At the end of the trial, I'm going to be able to proudly tell King and Dream that I did everything I could to right the wrong that was done to me. And that, in life, it is my hope that they will be able to stand up for themselves when it matters too." Scroll down for everything to know about the upcoming trial: ![]() In 2017, Chyna claimed in court documents that the Kardashian family was responsible for her reality show with Rob ending. Kathy Hutchins/Shutterstock ![]() The TV personality originally named Kris, Khloé, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie. In documents obtained by Us in October 2017, Chyna alleged that she was planning to film a second season of Rob & Chyna with her then-fiancé before the famous family used their "power and influence over the E! network to kill the second season." Chyna claimed that the Kardashians contacted E! in February 2017 to “demand the network not proceed with a second season of Rob & Chyna.” Since the originally filing, Chyna has named solely Kim, Kris, Khloé and Kylie in the lawsuit. Matt Baron/Shutterstock ![]() In October 2020, a judge denied the famous family's motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The decision was based on “substantial evidence” submitted by Chyna in the form of unaired footage which was meant to be the show's second season. Courtesy of Hulu ![]() “I plan to re-focus my attention on my trial against Kris Jenner and her daughters Kim, Khloe, and Kylie which starts in 13 days,” Chyna tweeted in April 2022 about the trial. She added: “When they got my #1 hit show killed back in January 2017, that not only hurt me financially and emotionally, that hurt my beautiful KIDS. I’m taking them to court to stand up for my legal rights and to be an example to my kids that ‘what’s right is right, what’s wrong is wrong.’ And what they did was so wrong.” Andrew H.

Kardashians Show United Front at Jury Selection for Blac Chyna Case Posted: 18 Apr 2022 05:39 PM PDT ![]() Family first! The Kardashians showed a united front on day one of the jury selection in Blac Chyna's defamation case against the group. Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian sat beside mom Kris Jenner and sister Kylie Jenner at a Los Angeles courthouse on Monday, April 18, as potential jurors were questioned before being put on the panel for the upcoming trial. The 33-year-old model was also in attendance as her lawsuit against the former Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars got underway. Rob Kardashian, who split from Chyna in 2017, was not at Monday's proceedings. The exes share 5-year-old daughter Dream. Chyna is seeking "millions in compensatory and punitive damages" from Kris, 66, Kim, 41, Khloé, 37, and Kylie, 24, for "defamation, intentional interference with contract and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage," the rapper's attorney, Lynne Ciani, told Us Weekly in a statement in October 2020. The lawsuit, which was initially filed in 2017, is pegged to the women's alleged interference with Chyna and Rob's reality series, Rob & Chyna, which was put on hold that year and never revisited. "Chyna is beyond thrilled that she will have her day in court," Ciani previously stated, claiming that her client's career on reality TV was "permanently damaged" as a result of the Kardashian-Jenner family. The Kardashians filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, but a judge denied the request in October 2020 based on "substantial evidence" submitted by Chyna of unaired footage she claimed was supposed to be used on season 2 of the show. The "Cash Only" rapper doubled down on her claims against her ex-fiancé's family earlier this month, tweeting about her plans to hold them responsible for the cancellation of Rob & Chyna. "When they got my #1 hit show killed back in January 2017, that not only hurt me financially and emotionally, that hurt my beautiful KIDS," she wrote via social media on April 2. "I'm taking them to court to stand up for my legal rights and to be an example to my kids that 'what's right is right, what's wrong is wrong.' And what they did was so wrong." Chyna noted that she is "so thankful that a jury will finally listen to what really happened behind closed doors — the lies that were told and the damage that was done." She concluded: "At the end of the trial, I'm going to be able to proudly tell King and Dream that I did everything I could to right the wrong that was done to me. And that, in life, it is my hope that they will be able to stand up for themselves when it matters too." |

Is Lili Reinhart Dating Spencer Neville? 5 Things to Know About Him Posted: 18 Apr 2022 05:16 PM PDT Friends or something more? After keeping her dating live under the radar, Lili Reinhart sparked romance rumors when she was spotted with Spencer Neville at Coachella 2022. The Riverdale star, 25, was photographed holding hands with Neville, 31, as they left the music festival’s Neon Carnival on Saturday, April 16. Reinhart held on tight to the actor as he led her away following the event, according to photos obtained by Just Jared. The outing comes shortly after Reinhart’s ex Cole Sprouse opened up about their relationship nearly two years after their split. Late last month, the Disney Channel alum, 29, called his past with the Chemical Hearts star “as real as it gets” during a rare interview with GQ Hype. The photographer also said the “public currency” that came with their breakup wasn’t always easy to deal with. The former couple dated on and off for three years before pulling the plug on their relationship in May 2020. Sprouse later took to social media to confirm the pair’s decision to part ways. “Lili and I initially separated in January of this year, deciding to more permanently split in March,” he wrote via Instagram in August 2020. “What an incredible experience I had, I’ll always feel lucky and cherish that I had the chance to fall in love. I wish her nothing but the utmost love and happiness moving forward. All I’ll say about it, anything else you hear doesn’t matter.” That same month, the Swimming Lessons author referred to that period of time as a "black tunnel” that felt like it would never end. "I couldn’t see the light. I was like, ‘I feel like I’m dying.’ It was f–king rough, and there’s no other way through it than just through it,” Reinhart told Refinery29 at the time. “I’ve seen a lot of people when it comes to heartache and grief and breakups, and they try to get that void filled with sex, with coke, with food, with drinking, [but] the void is still there. I took the road less traveled and just dealt with my s–t. I had to face my own pain head-on.” Since the breakup, the CW star has kept her dating life private. Sprouse, for his part, has been linked to Ari Fournier since February 2021. During his interview with GQ Hype, the Italy native opened up about the negative response from his fanbase. “Followers report everything about Ari and me as bullying, and it gets taken down pretty immediately,” the Suite Life of Zack & Cody alum said in March. “Even on my other friends’ accounts, it gets taken down.” Scroll down for everything to know about Neville after his fun night out with Reinhart: ![]() The Tennessee native has appeared in Ozark, Good Trouble, Days of Our Lives and American Horror Story. He is set to star alongside Joe Jonas and Daren Kagasoff in the upcoming Korean War drama titled Devotion. imageSPACE/Shutterstock ![]() Neville previously competed at the NPC Teen Nationals in Pittsburgh in 2010. Courtesy Spencer Neville/Instagram ![]() The Obituary of Tunde Johnson star's social media feed has several photos from his travels with his pet. In December 2021, Neville shared a compilation of memories from a visit to Angeles National Forest. "Got all up in my feelingz and wrote some things down by the campfire. I’m inspired by nature. It is loving. It is warm. It is harsh. It is bitter. It is healing. It is dangerous. Much like us," he wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. "Which confirms, for me, the interconnectedness of it all. My nose runs quicker than my mind here. The ground is firm, my feet are rooted. The cold reminds me what it is to be present. I feel alive amongst these trees."

Kail Lowry, Briana DeJesus' Lawsuit Dismissed, But the Drama Is Far From Over Posted: 18 Apr 2022 04:58 PM PDT ![]() The legal baby mama drama may be over, but the ongoing scandal continues. After nearly nine months of battling it out in court, Kailyn Lowry's defamation lawsuit against her Teen Mom 2 costar Briana DeJesus has been dismissed in the Florida native's favor, Us Weekly can confirm. "I won," DeJesus, 27, said in a statement to Celebuzz on Monday, April 18. She also shared several screenshots on her Instagram Story of her buying a clown costume and a mirror from Amazon, alluding that she was going to send the items to the “Coffee Convos” podcast host. “Alexa play ‘bitch better have my money’!” DeJesus wrote in the gift message. Lowry, 30, shared her own thoughts on the ruling in an Instagram Story statement. “While today’s ruling is unfortunate, I have to respect the judge’s decision. With that being said, I stand by my truth and the information spread about me is still not true,” she wrote. “I would like to thank my legal team for fighting for me, and I am looking forward to life after this lawsuit so I can focus my energy solely on my boys and my future business endeavors.” The mother of four, who has been feuding with DeJesus for years, filed the lawsuit against her rival in June 2021. The Pride Over Pity author sued DeJesus for defamation at the time, alleging that the Teen Mom 3 alum falsely stated that Kail physically assaulted Chris Lopez, the father of Lowry's two youngest sons, Lux, 4, and Creed, 20 months, and broke into his home. (Though Lowry was arrested after the alleged assault, the charges were later dropped. She also denied via Instagram "ever [having] been charged with breaking & entering. Ever," and maintained she never broken into and entered a home "in my life.") The judge noted in the court documents obtained by Us, “Soto's statement about ‘breaking and entering’ does not change the gist of the statement that Lowry had been arrested. It was widely publicized that Lowry had been arrested for domestic violence and Soto's comments on the issue were substantially true. The damage to Lowry's reputation, if any, had already occurred when the incident was publicized by news media.” According to the documents, the judge further claimed, "Even if the isolated statement regarding 'breaking and entering' can be considered defamatory, there is insufficient evidence to establish that Soto [DeJesus] knew the statement was false at the time it was made." ![]() Ultimately, "as a matter of law, Lowry has not met her burden regarding the issue of malice," declared the judge. The Teen Mom 2 stars' feud first kicked off in 2017, when DeJesus began dating Lowry’s ex-husband Javi Marroquin — with whom Kail shares son Lincoln, 8. (The Pennsylvania native is also mom to son Isaac, 12, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Jo Rivera.) Even though Marroquin and DeJesus' relationship only lasted for a few months, the drama between the Love Is Bubblegum writer and the Teen Mom: Family Reunion star was just getting started. The two not only continued to trash each other on social media, they also attempted to engage in a physical fight at one of the Teen Mom reunions. Their relationship only grew worse as the various players in the Lowry/DeJesus drama appeared on each other's podcasts. Marroquin, 29, spilled the tea on his and DeJesus’ breakup on Lowry’s "Coffee Convos" podcast in 2018. Three years later, the Hustle & Heart author invited Devoin Austin (the father of DeJesus’ oldest daughter, Nova) to be a guest on the podcast, during which he spoke about his fractured coparenting relationship with the mom of two. For her part, DeJesus — who also shares daughter Stella, 4, with ex Luis Hernandez — flew to Philadelphia to appear on Chris Lopez's podcast in 2021 in a much-discussed scene that was filmed for season 11 of Teen Mom 2. The lawsuit alone has not been without its fair share of drama. In December 2021, DeJesus sent Lowry a treadmill amid the legal war, which many fans interpreted as a body-shaming dig. "I know u are fantastic at RUNNING YOUR MOUTH SO I THOUGHT UR FEET WOULD RUN JUST AS FAST!" Briana wrote via her Instagram Story at the time. Three months later, in March 2022, the Sunshine State resident filed a motion to prevent Lowry’s legal team from being able to ask any questions about DeJesus’ sex life. (The “Baby Mamas No Drama” cohost claimed that DeJesus slept with Lopez, 28, which DeJesus has denied.) "We had to file this motion because our unilateral extensions of professional courtesy, class, and decency were not reciprocated. That’s okay," DeJesus’ attorney Marc J. Randazza explained to Us Weekly at the time. "We will conduct ourselves according to our high standards and we will let them choose their own standards for themselves.” Us Weekly has reached out for comment from Lowry and DeJesus' respective legal teams. |

Helen Mirren's Stepson Rio Hackford Dead at Age 51 After Long Illness Posted: 18 Apr 2022 03:34 PM PDT ![]() Rio Hackford, the son of director Taylor Hackford and stepson of Helen Mirren, has died at age 51 after a battle with an unspecified illness. The late star’s brother, Alex Hackford, confirmed the news on Friday, April 15. Rio died one day earlier in Huntington Beach, California. He is survived by his wife, Libby Grace, and their two children. The Los Angeles native was an actor who starred in films including Trumbo and Jonah Hex and TV series including American Crime Story. In 2010, Rio had a small role in Love Ranch, which was directed by his father, 77, and starred his stepmother, 76. Earlier this year, Rio appeared alongside Sebastian Stan and Lily James on Hulu’s Pam & Tommy. One of his biggest credits was providing motion capture for the droid IG-11, voiced by Taika Waititi, in The Mandalorian. Rio is Taylor’s only child with Georgie Lowres, whom he divorced in 1972. The Oscar nominee shares Alex with ex-wife Lynne Littman, whom he was married to from 1977 to 1987. The Ray director has been married to Mirren since 1997. In addition to acting in various film and TV roles over the years, Rio was also the proprietor of several successful bars in New Orleans: One Eyed Jacks, El Matador and Pal’s Lounge. He owned a bar called Homestead in San Francisco as well and renovated The Monty in Los Angeles. Rio’s friend D.V. DeVicentis paid tribute to the late actor in a heartfelt post shared via Instagram. “Rio was more attuned to experience than anyone I've ever known,” the producer wrote on Thursday, April 14. “He would stop what was happening to point it out, compel you to pay attention.” The screenwriter also highlighted Rio’s love for film and music. “He would put an experience for you on the stereo, then start it over and play it again for you because we were talking over it the first time and ‘Pal, you really have to listen to it,'” DeVicentis wrote. “Not simply obsessed with movies and how they mirrored and compelled, he was something more: a superfan of enumerable scenes, of particular gestures of unsung actors, weird career turns, roaring comebacks, cinema swan songs — all real experiences for you, when beheld consciously.” DeVicentis’ post garnered many stunned and moving reactions from friends and colleagues who also knew him. “I was so sad to hear about Rio passing,” Robin Tunney wrote in the comments section. “He was too nice to be that handsome. Too cool to be that relatable. My [God] that man was special. RIP Rio.” Lake Bell, who directed two episodes of Pam & Tommy, added, “This is a massive loss.” |
Prince Harry Details 'Great' Visit to See the Queen With Wife Meghan Markle Posted: 18 Apr 2022 03:32 PM PDT ![]() After his recent reunion with Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry reflected on the “great” stop that was made prior to his appearance at the Invictus Games with Meghan Markle. “She had plenty of messages for Team U.K., which I have already passed on to most of them,” the Duke of Sussex, 37, told BBC One reporters during a TV special dedicated to the Invictus Games, which aired on on Monday, April 18, referring to the international sporting event. “So, it was great to see her. I’m sure she would love to be here if she could.” Harry’s comments come after a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, 40, confirmed on Friday, April 15, that the couple stopped by Windsor Castle to spend time with the monarch, 95. Their surprise visit marks the first time that Harry and Meghan have made a joint trip to the U.K. since stepping backing from their senior royal duties. The pair, who tied the knot in 2018, originally made headlines when they announced their plans to step away from their roles in 2020. They confirmed that the decision was made permanent in February 2021 and moved to Montecito, California, amid the coronavirus pandemic. The California native later opened up about how much she struggled during her time in the U.K. “I just didn’t see a solution. I would sit up at night, and I was just, like, I don’t understand how all of this is being churned out,” Meghan said in a CBS tell-all interview in March 2021, referring to the British press. “I realized that it was all happening just because I was breathing. I was really ashamed to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry, especially, because I know how much loss he’s suffered. But I knew that if I didn’t say it, that I would do it. I just didn’t want to be alive anymore. And that was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought.” Harry, for his part, reflected on his late mother Princess Diana‘s death and the role that the U.K. press played. “I know the story all too well. I lost my mother to this self-manufactured rabidness, and I don't want to lose the mother of my children to the same thing,” he added at the time about his mother’s 1997 car crash. Since their move, Harry has returned for his late grandfather Prince Philip‘s funeral in April 2021. Three months later, he traveled back again to unveil a statue of Princess Diana with his brother, Prince William, in July 2021. Meghan, for her part, remained in the U.S. amid her second pregnancy last year. The Suits alum shares son Archie, 2, and daughter Lilibet, 10 months, with her husband. |
Will Smith’s Controversial Moments: The Slap, a ‘Fresh Prince’ Feud, More Posted: 18 Apr 2022 02:11 PM PDT A controversial career. Will Smith has found himself at the center of several scandals over the course of his decades-long career, some of which even date back to his time on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. When Janet Hubert, who played Aunt Viv on the first three seasons, left the ’90s sitcom due to “creative differences” in 1993, the “Summertime” rapper slammed his former costar during a radio interview. “I can say straight up that Janet Hubert wanted the show to be The Aunt Viv of Bel-Air Show,” Smith said at the time, per E! News. “She’s mad now but she’s been mad all along. She said once, ‘I’ve been in the business for 10 years and this snotty-nosed punk comes along and gets a show.’ No matter what, to her I’m just the Antichrist.” Though he later apologized for his comments, the Philadelphia native’s remarks marked the start of a years-long feud with Hubert. “There will never be a [Fresh Prince] reunion … as I will never do anything with an a–hole like Will Smith,” the Love Life actress told TMZ in December 2011. Two years later, Hubert claimed that Smith was spreading “lies” about her behavior on set. “I think what happened, because the audience was so on my side at that time, that Will probably felt like he needed to go out, and he needed to tell a lot of lies. … I have proof that a lot of that didn’t happen,” she told The Grio in March 2013. The pair continued their back-and-forth for years before eventually burying the hatchet during the 2020 Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion special, where Smith acknowledged that he “made the set difficult” for Hubert during the third season. “Words can kill. I lost everything. Reputation. Everything, everything. I understand you were able to move forward,” she told the Ali star during the HBO Max special. “Calling a Black woman 'difficult' in Hollywood is the kiss of death. It's hard enough being a dark-skinned Black woman in this business. I felt it was necessary for us to finally move forward. And I'm sorry I have blasted you to pieces.” While he was able to settle one of his Hollywood feuds, Smith started a brand new one at the 2022 Oscars by slapping Chris Rock during the ceremony. After the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith‘s shaved head, the Oscar winner stormed the stage to defend his wife (who has alopecia) and hit Rock in the face. After he returned to his seat, Smith shouted at Rock, telling him to “Keep my wife’s name out your f–king mouth.” The “Gettin’ Jiggy With It” rapper apologized the following day for his behavior in a statement shared via Instagram. “Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable,” Smith wrote in March 2022. “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.” Keep scrolling to relive Smith’s most controversial moments: ![]() A source told Us Weekly exclusively that Smith "immediately took action" to react to Rock's joke about Pinkett Smith after he noticed that she was "visibly upset" by the remark. During his emotional acceptance speech later in the night, Smith apologized for his reaction. “I want to apologize to The Academy, I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees,” he said in part, after winning best actor for his performance in King Richard. "But love will make you do crazy things." In the wake of the controversy, Smith resigned from The Academy while awaiting the results of a disciplinary hearing about the altercation. "My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home," he said in an April 2022 statement to Variety. "I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film." One week later, the Academy announced that Smith would be banned from all Oscar-related events and ceremonies for 10 years. "I accept and respect the Academy’s decision," he said at the time. Rob Latour/Shutterstock ![]() After nearly three decades, Smith sat down with Hubert in November 2019 as part of the Fresh Prince HBO Max reunion to clear the air. "During that third season when I got pregnant, there [were] a lot of things going on in my life and Will’s life as well,” Hubert recalled, claiming that her salary had also been cut. “Home life was not good at all. I was no longer laughing, smiling, joking because there were things going on that nobody knew about. [The] cast had no idea what was going on." In response, Smith admitted that he "wasn't sensitive" to his costar at the time. “Now that I’ve had three kids, I’ve learned some things I did not know at the time,” he said. “I would do things very differently. I can see where I made the set very difficult for Janet.” Belen Diaz/DYDPPA/Shutterstock; Kobal/Shutterstock ![]() In November 2013, Smith was rumored to be hooking up with Margot Robbie on the set of their film, Focus, after photos were leaked of the pair joking around and fake-flashing the camera in a photo booth. "Been working nonstop, just catching my breath. There's absolutely no truth to the ridiculous rumor," the Australia native wrote via Twitter at the time. "It's disappointing that goofing around on set could be taken so out of context." A source close to Smith echoed those sentiments to Us at the time: "They were just goofing around. Will is just like that. There's nothing more to it." David Fisher/Shutterstock ![]() During an interview with GQ in September 2021, Smith revealed that he and his wife haven't always been monogamous. "Jada never believed in conventional marriage … Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up," he explained, later hinting that both parties had taken advantage of the "trust and freedom" in their relationship. "There were significant endless discussions about, what is relational perfection? And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection." Matt Baron/Shutterstock ![]() Musician August Alsaina brought the Smith's relationship into the spotlight in July 2020, when he revealed that he was romantically involved with Pinkett Smith and that the I Am Legend actor knew about it and had given them his blessing. Though she initially denied the claims, the Matrix star eventually confessed to being in an "entanglement" with Alsaina when she and her husband were separated. "We decided we were going to separate for a period of time and you go figure out how to make yourself happy and I’ll figure out how to make myself happy," Smith said during an appearance on Red Table Talk in July 2020. “I really felt like we could be over.” Shutterstock (3) ![]() Smith's unusual parenting style has raised eyebrows over the years, but he and his wife faced backlash in April 2013 when he revealed that they didn't believe in punishing his younger two children, Willow and Jaden. "We don't do punishment," he told Metro UK at the time. "The way that we deal with our kids is, they are responsible for their lives. Our concept is, as young as possible, give them as much control over their lives as possible and the concept of punishment, our experience has been — it has a little too much of a negative quality. So when they do things — and you know, Jaden, he's done things—you can do anything you want as long as you can explain to me why that was the right thing to do for your life."

Bachelor's Hannah Ann Sluss: Why I Kept Jake Funk Romance Private Posted: 18 Apr 2022 01:39 PM PDT ![]() Just for them. Hannah Ann Sluss wanted to keep her relationship with boyfriend Jake Funk out of the spotlight — especially after her very public split from former Bachelor Peter Weber. “I wanted to wait to share [our relationship] with everyone because it was our decision,” the model, 25, told Us Weekly exclusively at the DIRECTV Space at the Neon Carnival on Saturday, April 16. “We’re very private and, you know, that just seems to be the best for us right now. With my past, things have been public and nothing really necessarily good has come from it, in my opinion.” She continued: “And so keeping things private and just having our own lives outside of social media [makes] it more of a true, meaningful relationship for us.” ![]() Sluss confirmed her romance with the Los Angeles Rams running back, 24, in February when she shared videos of herself cheering him on at Super Bowl LVI. While she hasn’t yet revealed when she and Funk began dating, the Bachelor Season 24 alum told Us that their relationship quickly became serious. “We met a couple months ago and as soon as we met, we just had an instant connection and basically [we’ve been] inseparable since day one,” Sluss said. “Just getting to know him and us being together and incorporating our lives together, it’s just been very seamless and easy.” ![]() She added: “After a few short weeks, I met his parents and then he met my parents, and our parents are really close friends now, which is really neat. But it’s just truly, like, a meant-to-be situation and we’re both very happy.” Though the Tennessee native confessed that she and Funk “see a future together,” she made it clear that they’re focused on “just enjoying each other and enjoying living in L.A.” at the moment. The couple are also not worried about each other’s pasts — including Sluss’ time on The Bachelor. “Back then, everyone watched the show and everything was so blown up, so he definitely knew [about it],” she recalled. “But [he] didn’t really know [or go into any] detail. Honestly, that was almost three years ago so it’s not anything that’s, like, [relevant] or present in my life.” Sluss competed for the 30-year-old pilot’s heart on Season 24 of the ABC dating series, which aired in 2020. Though Weber proposed during the finale, the pair split shortly after filming wrapped. “I haven’t spoken to him since the last time everyone else saw me speak to him. There’s nothing to say,” she told Us about her former fiancé, seemingly referring to their tense confrontation on After the Final Rose Special. “I’ve created my own life and, you know, you move on in life.” For Sluss, moving on includes leaving The Bachelor franchise behind. “I haven’t really watched the show in years,” she confessed. “My season was the last season I really watched.” Reporting by Diana Cooper |
Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant: A Timeline of Their Relationship Posted: 18 Apr 2022 01:32 PM PDT A lasting love. Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant's decades-long romance came to a tragic end when the NBA legend died on January 26, 2020. Despite their relationship's heartbreaking conclusion, their romance was filled with many highs over the years. The love between Kobe and Vanessa began not long after the duo first met in November 1999. The couple were engaged six months into their whirlwind romance, and they later tied the knot in the spring of 2001. During the course of their marriage, the pair welcomed four daughters: Natalia, Gianna, Bianka, and Capri. In January 2020, Kobe revealed the key to his marriage's success during an appearance on Showtime Basketball's All the Smoke. He noted on the YouTube series that "commitment" and the "competitiveness of 'We're going to succeed'" kept the couple going throughout the years. "We've seen couples that have been, like, 85 years old and you look and you're like, 'Oh man, such an old, sweet couple,' and I'd go talk to them because I wanna know … ," the Los Angeles Lakers star said at the time. "One time a guy goes, 'Yeah it's great, but she just kicked me out of the bed last night, I was sleeping on the couch last two nights.'" Kobe argued that the highs and lows are an essential element to a lasting marriage. "That's all the beauty of it: having the persistence and determination to work through things — very, very tough things — and we've been able to do that," he admitted. The pair's marriage has survived many hurdles, from Kobe's sexual misconduct allegations to a devastating miscarriage. The pair initially announced their plans to separate in 2011, but they later called off the divorce proceedings and opted to stay together in 2013. "We are pleased to announce that we have reconciled," Vanessa wrote via Instagram in January 2013. "Our divorce action will be dismissed. We are looking forward to our future together." Kobe and his second eldest daughter Gianna died in a helicopter accident in Calabasas, California, in January 2020. Authorities confirmed that the pair died along with seven others while flying in the late athlete's helicopter. When the rotorcraft crashed onto a hillside, it erupted into flames.

Travis Barker Gushes Over 'Best Friend' Kourtney Kardashian on Her Birthday Posted: 18 Apr 2022 01:24 PM PDT ![]() So in love. Travis Barker celebrated Kourtney Kardashian‘s birthday with a typically gushing tribute to his fiancée. “My best friend, my lover, my everything,” the Blink-182 drummer, 46, wrote via Instagram on Monday, April 18. “Happy Birthday @kourtneykardash I love you The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum turned 43 on Monday, just two weeks after she and Barker had a wedding ceremony in Las Vegas following the Grammys. The musician’s son, Landon, also took to Instagram to send his best wishes to his future stepmom. “Happy birthday @kourtneykardash love you!” the Meet the Barkers alum, 18, wrote in an Instagram Story, sharing a photo of the Poosh founder on Grammys night. (Barker shares Landon and daughter Alabama, 16, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, whom he divorced in 2008.) The Box Car Racer founder popped the question in October 2021, less than one year after Us Weekly confirmed that the duo were dating. The engagement was filmed for the Kardashian-Jenner family’s new reality show, The Kardashians, which premiered on Hulu Thursday, April 14. The former E! personality and the Famous Stars and Straps founder made headlines when they exchanged vows earlier this month, but Kardashian later revealed that the marriage is not technically legal because they didn’t have a license. “It's not called fake married," the wellness guru told Jimmy Kimmel on April 6. "There was no possibility to get a marriage license at that hour." ![]() When the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host, 54, expressed surprise that it was so hard to get a license in Vegas, Kardashian said that she and Barker were also shocked. “I'm like, 'Are you guys serious?' We asked, like, five times,” she recalled. “'What do we have to do to make this happen?' It was 2 a.m. and they were like, 'It opens at 8 o'clock.'" While the couple saw their Vegas wedding as the real deal, they still plan to have a separate ceremony in the future with their families and kids present. The Hulu personality shares Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7, with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. "They will have a bigger celebration with more of their families there, but this was a special night just for the two of them," an insider told Us earlier this month. “[Las Vegas] was totally impulse. They had had such an amazing night and thought it would be fun." In the meantime, the duo are working on expanding their family, and they’re planning to share the process on The Kardashians. "Travis is fully supporting her every step of the way," a source told Us earlier this month. "The journey just affirmed their bond and love for each other." |
LOL! Dax Shepard Jokes Kristen Bell Will Divorce Him for 'Yellowstone' Star Posted: 18 Apr 2022 01:17 PM PDT She’s got a crush! Dax Shepard knows Kristen Bell is a Yellowstone fan, and meeting star Luke Grimes was a huge moment for her. “Well, that's a wrap on my marriage!” Shepard, 47, captioned a snap via Instagram on Sunday, April 17. Grimes, 38, and the Veronica Mars alum, 41, tightly embraced each other. Bell gave a slight smile while the Yellowstone star looked pensive and brooding — very much like his character, Kayce Dutton. ![]() The “Armchair Expert” podcast host added, “I wish you both well, and I don't blame either of you. Fair play @lukegrimes.” Bell shared the photo the following day, revealing that her husband didn’t have to worry about a divorce. He just had to accept a third person in their marriage, she joked. “Sister wives? Nah, let's go with Brother husbands,” she wrote via Instagram on Monday, April 18. “@lukegrimes welcome to the family and @daxshepard, as usual, thank u for being so supportive. We're all Duttons now!!” Sadly for both Bell herself and Yellowstone fans, Grimes is off the market. He and model Bianca Rodrigues Grimes married in 2018. Grimes and Shepard previously worked together on the movie El Camino Christmas, a 2017 Netflix comedy starring Tim Allen. However, it wasn’t until the following year that Paramount debuted Yellowstone. The Punk’d alum met Bell in 2007 and proposed in 2009. The pair exchanged vows in a courthouse ceremony in 2013 and share daughters Lincoln, 9, and Delta, 7. The duo doesn’t mind each other’s celeb crushes, and Bell has been just as supportive of her husband’s infatuations. Shepard revealed in a November 2021 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show that after only having eyes for Brad Pitt for years, he finally had a new crush: Australian Formula One driver, Daniel Ricciardo. After Ricciardo appeared on an episode of "Armchair Expert," he said the two of them “kind of hit it off.” Shepard "pushed hard, got a phone number," he joked, and they eventually became inseparable. The ChiPs star added, "We’ve just really been building this thing that’s culminated in us seeing the world together, really.” Bell told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, “They’re really cute. I fully support this.” The Frozen voice actress and her husband don’t just dole out compliments to other stars. The duo still exchange plenty of flirty comments with each other after nearly more than 15 years together. “Isn’t he a hunk? Look at this guy!” Bell gushed about her hubby’s muscular frame during their Ellen appearance. “Now he’s a big boy. I’ve got no complaints!” Shepard gushed over his gorgeous partner in return. “I don’t want to objectify you, but we are married," he told Bell. "Look at the buns! This outfit, I couldn’t get my eyes off. Look at the buns!” |

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller’s Ups and Downs Through the Years Posted: 18 Apr 2022 01:08 PM PDT Finding common ground. Charlie Sheen‘s relationship with ex-wife Brooke Mueller has continued to make headlines years after their split. Sheen was previously married to model Donna Peele in the ’90s before tying the knot with Denise Richards in 2002. After settling his divorce from the Bravo star in 2006, the Spin City alum moved on with Mueller, to whom he was introduced by mutual friend Rebecca Gayheart. The couple exchanged views in 2008 welcomed their twin sons one year later. They called it quits in 2010. The Emmy nominee publicly disclosed his HIV-positive status in November 2015. “It started with what I thought was this series of crushing headaches and migraines and sweating the bed,” he said during an interview with Matt Lauer. “I thought I had a brain tumor. After a spinal test, they said, ‘This is what’s going on.'” Sheen, who also shares two daughters with Richards and a daughter with ex Paula Profit, noted that he told people that he “trusted” after being diagnosed four years prior. “I am here to admit that I am, in fact, HIV-positive. I have to put a stop to this mirage of attacks of sub-truths and very harmful and mercurial stories that are about me that are threatening the health of so many others,” he added. “I think I release myself from this prison today.” At the time, Sheen confirmed that Richards and their daughters, Sam and Lola, are not HIV-positive. Mueller’s rep Steve Honig also clarified in a statement to Us Weekly that their sons were not infected. "Brooke has been inundated with calls from friends and family,” Honig told Us. “To put their minds at ease, Brooke can confirm that she and the boys are not HIV positive.” Through the years, Mueller’s issues with addiction prompted her to seek professional help on several occasions. Following multiple drug-related incidents, the Witchouse star voluntarily entered an East Coast treatment center in August 2019. A source told Us at the time that her children were "doing fine" as they were relocated to live with Mueller’s parents. Sheen also opened up about how his twin boys were adjusting to the major change. "Between myself and the boys' two amazing sets of grandparents, we continue to seamlessly love, shelter and protect Bob and Max from the haphazard choices and unsightly behavior their mom refuses to extinguish once and for all," he told The Blast in August 2019. "These wonderful boys need their mom, and hopefully one day soon they will finally have one. Until then, on every front, we got this." Since Mueller’s departure from the facility, the former pair have worked on coparenting their children. In April 2022, they settled their child support case after a lengthy legal battle. “Mr. Sheen and Ms. Mueller recognize together the great benefit to their children in peacefully, privately coming to terms focused on the family's overall best interests. They should be applauded for making that happen,” the Anger Management alum’s attorney, Gregory J. Pedrick, shared in a statement to Us.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s Relationship Timeline Posted: 18 Apr 2022 01:07 PM PDT Sometimes the best romances start off as friendships! While Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's new relationship may come as a surprise to many, the pair have known each other for years. After Barker spent time with Kardashian at her mom Kris Jenner's Palm Springs, California, home in January 2021, Us Weekly confirmed that the pair were dating. "Kourtney and Travis are officially a couple," the insider told Us. "They have been close friends for years and have been dating for a couple months. Travis is very smitten with Kourtney and has been for a while." Shortly before the dating news broke, the Blink-182 drummer left multiple flirty comments on the Poosh founder's Instagram posts. As she shared a steamy selfie from her closet, Barker commented with a rose emoji. He dropped a mermaid emoji beneath a pic of her walking into the ocean. He also wrote, "You’re So Cool," after she shared screenshots of the 1993 film True Romance. (The rocker has previously stated that True Romance is his favorite movie, and he even named his daughter after Patricia Arquette's character, Alabama.) Kardashian and Barker's bond goes way back. The duo, who live in the same Calabasas, California, gated community, have been spotted out together on numerous occasions including in 2018 when they grabbed dinner and later attended evening church service. The musician has made appearances on her family's long-running show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, alongside his ex-wife Shanna Moakler. Barker once gushed to Us exclusively about how he was attracted to the mother of three's sister Kim Kardashian when she was still Paris Hilton's assistant. "How could you not stare at Kim? Mind you, I enjoyed hanging out with Paris, but I love curvy girls," he explained in October 2015. "Kim was eye candy. I was no way disrespectful to Paris, but I couldn't keep my eyes off Kim!" Since the pair both live in Calabasas, they would casually get together sometimes. "We would go out to eat, just hang out," he said, noting that he "had a crush on her and we were flirtatious, but nothing ever happened." The former Dash owner shares children Mason, Penelope and Reign with ex Scott Disick. The pair forged a friendship after ending their rocky on-and-off romance in 2015 after nine years. While Disick went on to date Sofia Richie for nearly three years before moving on with Amelia Gray Hamlin in late 2020, Kourtney was previously linked to Younes Bendjima and Luka Sabbat. The Meet the Barkers alum, for his part, was married to Moakler from 2004 to 2008. The exes share daughter Alabama and son Landon. Barker briefly dated Rita Ora in 2015.

David Beckham Gushes Over 'Amazing Wife' Victoria on Her Birthday Posted: 18 Apr 2022 12:28 PM PDT Through thick and thin. David and Victoria Beckham are one of Hollywood's longest standing couples for good reason: These two have been through the ringer together. From raising four children — sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, and daughter Harper — to navigating their spotlight-filled careers, which sometimes intertwine (you may recall the pair's eye-popping Emporio Armani ad in 2009), they rely on each other to get through whatever adventures life throws their way. They also rely on each other to overcome struggles, including the never-ending gossip mill that seems to revolve around their love life: Allegations of infidelity and rumors of divorce have plagued the twosome throughout the course of their marriage, but the English duo remains united. "People have been making things up about our relationship for 20 years," Posh Spice told British Vogue for her October cover story in September 2018. "We both realize that we are stronger together than we are as individuals." David spilled a similar sentiment to the BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs in January 2017. "We’re a strong family unit,” he said on the show. “We’ve got strong parents. We were brought up with the right values. Of course you make mistakes over the years, and we all know marriage is difficult at times. It’s about working through it. We know each other better than anybody. People have talked about, ‘Do we stay together because it’s a brand?’ Of course not. We stay together because we love each other, because we have four amazing children.” Scroll through to relive all of the power couple's highs — and lows! — since they first laid eyes on each other in the Manchester United players' lounge way back in 1997! ![]() The lovebirds first crossed paths in early 1997 while attending a charity football match at the Manchester United players’ lounge. The former Spice Girl described their meet-cute in a letter she wrote to herself for British Vogue in September 2016. “Love at first sight does exist,” she wrote. “It will happen to you in the Manchester United players’ lounge – although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy. While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family. (He’s not even in the first team at this stage – you are the famous one.) And he has such a cute smile. You, too, are close to your family, and you will think how similar he feels to you. He’s going to ask for your number. (He still has the London-to-Manchester plane ticket on which you wrote it.)" Matthew Ashton/EMPICS via Getty Images; ARNAL/CHARRIAU/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images ![]() The singer was all smiles one year later while announcing her engagement to the soccer star at a press conference. “It’s lovely, it’s a surprise, as well,” she said of her engagement ring. John Giles - PA Images/PA Images via Getty Images ![]() The twosome had more exciting news to share in 1998: They were expecting their first child!

Owen Humphreys - PA Images/PA Images via Getty Images ![]() Six months later, a second son was born to the couple via C-Section: Romeo James Beckham. "He looks like Brooklyn,” proud dad David told reporters outside Portland Hospital in London. “He's got Brooklyn's nose and Victoria's chin.” Scott Barbour/Getty Images ![]() The family began a new adventure when David was transferred from his Manchester United team to Real Madrid, with the group moving to Spain to be centrally located. Ian West - PA Images/PA Images via Getty Images ![]() The twosome were subject to rumors of infidelity in Spain after David was photographed leaving a Madrid nightclub with a mystery woman. Though she was later revealed to be his assistant, Rebecca Loos, Loos' brother John Charles reportedly told the Daily Mail in 2004 that the buzz was true. "She has confirmed to me she had an affair with David,” Charles claimed. David, meanwhile, dismissed the allegations as false. "During the past few months I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life," he said in a statement. “The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts." Lalo Yasky/WireImage; Bruno Vincent/Getty Images ![]() Having survived the infidelity scandal, the pair continued to grow their family: The Spice World star announced in late August that she was pregnant for a third time. Frazer Harrison/Getty Images ![]() The couple’s little one made his grand entrance into the world on February 21, 2005. "We've got a baby boy. His name is Cruz," David shared with reporters outside a Madrid hospital, according to Reuters. "He is beautiful. He is in there with his brothers now and he is very happy."
