Both People and Entertainment Tonight reported on Sunday, December 17, that the pair recently split. Neither Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio), 29, nor the model, 28, have publicly commented on the split.
The following month, Bad Bunny explained why he wanted to keep the romance under wraps. “I know something is going to come out,” he told Rolling Stone. “I know [people are] going to say something. People know everything about me, so what’s left for me to protect? My private life, my personal life.”

While many celeb couples have gone the distance in Hollywood, other romances haven’t stood the test of time. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott sparked an on-again, off-again relationship in 2017, welcoming two children: daughter Stormi and a son, whose name they have yet to reveal, in February 2018 and February 2022, respectively. Us Weekly broke […]
When pressed to define his relationship with Jenner on the record, he said, “That’s the only answer. In the end, the only thing I have is my privacy.”
One month earlier, a source told Us Weekly that Jenner saw “long-term potential” with Bad Bunny, noting that she “feels like he’s the complete package and he treats her like a total gentleman.”
Jenner was “really attracted” to Bad Bunny’s confidence, according to the insider. “They are having a great time together, and she appreciates that he gets along with all of her friends,” the source said. “They complement each other on so many levels and she’s enjoying getting to know him better every day.”
A second insider told Us in August that the pair’s “connection has grown even stronger” since the early days of their romance. “Kendall has been getting much closer with Bad Bunny over the past several months,” the source revealed. “Things were more casual when they first started dating, but after a short period of time she saw long-term potential in their relationship.”
Keeping things casual! Kendall Jenner has been linked to many famous musicians and athletes over the years and has managed to keep most of her romances private. From singers Harry Styles and Nick Jonas to basketball stars Ben Simmons and Devin Booker, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s dating history is made up of […]
The couple worked together in September after they were both tapped by Gucci creative director Sabato De Sarno to star in his debut Gucci Valigeria campaign. They sat together in the front row of the Gucci fashion show in Milan later that month.

Weeks later, Jenner traveled to New York City to support her boyfriend as he pulled double duty on Saturday Night Live. The SNL afterparty was their last public outing.
Prior to dating Bad Bunny, Jenner was in a relationship with Devin Booker on and off for nearly two years. Usconfirmed the duo’s split in November 2022. Bad Bunny seemingly shaded the Phoenix Suns player, 27, in March in his song “Coco Chanel,” with the translated lyrics, “But the sun in Puerto Rico is hotter than in Phoenix / She knows it.”
Kroy Biermann’s attorney Marlys A. Bergstrom has filed a lien against him for alleged unpaid bills amid his divorce from estranged wife Kim Zolciak-Biermann.
In documents filed and obtained by Us Weekly on Monday, December 4, Bergstrom’s law firm of Stearns, Montgomery & Proctor filed a Consent Attorney’s Lien in the amount of $801.01 against “all recoverable property” of Biermann’s “upon any judgments and decrees recoverable” in his divorce against Zolciak-Biermann, 45. (Liens are legal tools used to protect the interests of creditors and other people who are owed money by property owners, according to Forbes.)
The filing states that the “unpaid amount of fees and services” include Biermann’s ongoing legal matters through November 15, “including any interest that may have accrued pursuant” to Biermann’s August 24 agreement with the firm.
According to the documents, interest on the lien will “continue accusing” at the rate of one and a half percent on “all months due” until Stearns, Montgomery & Proctor is “paid in full for legal services performed and expenses incurred” on behalf of Biermann “in the above-styled matter as provided by law and with the express written consent” of Biermann.
Kim Zolciak-Biermann and estranged husband Kroy Biermann faced legal drama — and possible foreclosure — ahead of their 2023 split. Us Weekly confirmed in February 2023 that the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum and her then-spouse’s Georgia mansion was in foreclosure, after Zolciak-Biermann denied in November 2022 that she was having legal trouble. Zolciak-Biermann and […]
“No person shall be at liberty to satisfy any judgment or decree in this action until the lien of the Firm is satisfied,” the filing continues, noting that the lien “attaches to all recoverable assets” including but not limited to Biermann’s “money” and “personal or real property,” which includes his shared Georgia home with Zolciak-Biermann.
Both Biermann and Zolciak-Biermann, who tied the knot in 2011, filed for divorce in May but quickly reconciled that July. Biermann then filed for divorce a second time in August, stating that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.” The exes have since been caught up in a messy legal battle.
In his August filing, Biermann asked for full legal and physical custody of their minor children — Kroy “KJ” Jr., 12, Kash, 11, and twins Kaia and Kane, 9 – as well as exclusive access to their Georgia residence, which he put on the market days later. (Biermann also adopted Zolciak-Biermann’s two eldest daughters, Brielle, 26, and Ariana, 22.)

Biermann stated that the sale of the house would hopefully provide “enough income to secure their own individual residences, thus taking the children out of the toxic environment.”
Biermann and Zolciak-Biermann’s home was set to go into foreclosure on November 7, however, according to October documents obtained by Us, both Biermann and Zolciak-Bieramnn wrote affidavits at the time outlining ways in which the foreclosure would be “devastating” to their family. In their filings, they noted that their home is currently on the market for $6 million.

The estranged couple have also been facing various other financial woes. Last month, Biermann was sued by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, according to documents obtained by Us at the time. Chase claimed that the former NFL star is $13,071.88 in credit card debt, sharing various account statements dated as far back as November 2022. (Zolciak-Biermann, for her part, was sued by a debt collection company for $156,000 after she allegedly stopped making payments on her HSBC/Saks credit card.)
Already getting messy. Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann shocked Bravo fans and stars alike with their May 2023 split. Us Weekly confirmed at the time that the former NFL player filed for divorce after more than a decade of marriage. The now-estranged couple tied the knot in 2011. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum and […]
Chase’s lawsuit came just one month after Biermann and Zolciak-Biermann were ordered to pay nearly $230,000 to Simmons Banks after receiving a final default order. The suit was initially filed in July and involved a home equity line of credit, which theReal Housewives of Atlanta alums defaulted on. The exes also reportedly owe the IRS $1.1 million in unpaid taxes.

Fans were shocked by Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton’s seemingly abrupt split, but an insider tells Us that there’s more to the story.
“Lukas cheated on Chris and Chris found out over the weekend,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “That’s the reason [Chris] filed.”
The insider adds, “They were never in an open relationship.”
The estranged couple were married for six months before Us confirmed that Appleton, 40, filed for divorce from Gage, 28, on Monday, November 13. Appleton cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, according to court documents obtained by Us.
The duo’s date of separation was listed as November 10, one day after Appleton and Gage’s wedding was featured on an episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians. The insider notes that their breakup had “nothing to do” with the show.
Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton‘s romance made headlines months before they revealed they were an item. The White Lotus star and Appleton first sparked dating speculation in February 2023 when they shared vacation pics together at the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort in Mexico. While neither Gage nor the hair guru addressed their relationship status at the […]
Fans watched Kim Kardashian officiate Appleton and Gage’s wedding during the November 9 episode of The Kardashians. Before the twosome exchanged vows, the Skims founder, 43, offered Appleton sage advice about marriage.
“Wait, you have to get a prenup,” she told the hairstylist before quoting the song “Gold Digger” by her ex-husband Kanye West. “We want prenup, we want prenup.”

As Appleton did Kardashian’s hair, the reality star FaceTimed Gage to share her thoughts.
“Can I just give you one tip from a lawyer? Prenup,” she told Gage. “Just super general, I think I can maybe even write it for you guys.”
Us confirmed the former couple had a postnuptial agreement, which was signed on May 3.
Appleton and Gage first sparked romance rumors earlier this year. The pair confirmed their relationship in March, sharing their love for each other in respective interviews.
“I feel very happy, very lucky and very much in love. He’s a good-looking man,” Gage said on the Today show at the time. “There’s something about being in London. I think I got a taste of the Brits.”
The pair got married at Las Vegas’ Little White Chapel in April. “We did it 💍,” Appleton wrote via Instagram alongside photos from the event. Appleton and Gage wore matching black fur coats during the wedding, while Kardashian, as their officiant, opted to wear a black dress.
“This is not where they wanted this to end up,” the insider shared earlier this week. “It will take time for both to get to a place where they can move past this and get on with their lives.”
Jason Tartick is opening up about the first time he saw Kaitlyn Bristowe since the pair called off their engagement.
“I would describe it that there was a lot of energy that we were both holding, and it wasn’t maybe the best energy. And when we saw each other, [I] didn’t know what to expect but it was great,” Tartick, 35, explained on his “Trading Secrets” podcast episode on Monday, November 13. “It was friendly, it was cordial, it was respectful.”
Things got hotter in Bachelor Nation when Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick kickstarted their headline-making relationship in January 2019. The Dew Edit designer and the former banker met during an interview on Bristowe’s “Off the Vine” podcast. They confirmed they were dating just two months after the former Bachelorette and her ex-fiancé, Shawn Booth, called […]
Tartick noted that there was an audience, including Bachelor in Paradise bartender and former contestant Wells Adams, when Tartick and Bristowe, 38, had their first conversation
“They’re all, like, kind of f–king with us,” he recalled. “And I just start laughing. Kaitlyn’s like, ‘What are you laughing [at]?’ I’m like, ‘The peanut gallery.’”

Some Bachelor Nation splits hit harder than others. The Bachelor franchise has been matchmaking since 2002. Back in 2003, Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter became the first Bachelor Nation couple to walk down the aisle. The twosome, who met while filming the first season of The Bachelorette, celebrated 19 years of marriage in December 2022. […]
“After sharing the news with family and close friends first, and taking the time to properly process it ourselves, we are saddened with heavy hearts to share that we have decided to end our engagement,” the duo wrote at the time. “We are thankful for all of you who gave us the time and space to process this life altering decision as there are many emotions and changes to navigate.”
They continued: “Continuing our friendship is incredibly important to both of us. We feel grateful to be ending our engagement with love and respect for each other. It’s heartbreaking and sad to say goodbye, but our care and admiration for one another will never die.”
Bristowe later claimed that Tartick “didn’t protect” her from online hate surrounding their breakup. (Tartick posted a video moving out of their home, and included clips of their dogs looking sad as he packed boxes.)
Between The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelor Winter Games, multiple couples have found true love — and a select few have made it down the aisle. On The Bachelor, a winning couple didn’t get married until season 17. Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici married in a TV wedding in 2014. However, […]
“When he was, kind of, leaning into that sad — I was like, ‘Bro,’” she shared on her “Off the Vine” podcast in September. “It didn’t protect me because it made me look like I was taking the dogs away from him.”

Later that month, Us Weekly confirmed that Bristowe unfollowed Tartick on Instagram. Tartick, for his part, took to his page in October and seemingly alluded to the breakup in a post celebrating his birthday.
“Dear 35, you’re off to a great start … please be better than 34,” he wrote. “Love, me.”
Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann appeared to enjoy an Italian dinner to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary — despite their impending divorce.
Kim, 45, took to her Instagram Story on Saturday, November 11, to show off their meal at Mezza Luna Pasta and Seafood in Smyrna, Georgia.
“This is the best bruschetta I’ve ever had in my life,” the Real Housewives of Atlantaalum said as she showed off a variety of plates. This is the lasagna. This is amazing.”
Kroy, 37, chimed in, “Unreal.” Kim and Kroy also shared a toast with restaurant management.
Kim and Kroy married in 2011 and share children Kroy “KJ” Jr., 12, Kash, 11, and twins Kaia and Kane, 9. Kroy also adopted Kim’s eldest daughters — Brielle, 26, and Ariana, 22 — following their nuptials. Both Kim and Kroy filed for divorce in May.
Court docs obtained by Us Weekly at the time listed the pair’s date of separation as April 30. The split quickly got messy. Kim requested to have Kroy drug-tested and alleged that she she had “serious concerns” for the kids’ safety. Kroy, who was seeking sole custody of their children, alleged that Kim had a gambling problem and needed a psychological evaluation.
Despite all the drama, it seemed like they worked out their differences when they called off their divorce in July. However, their reconciliation was short-lived. Kroy filed for divorce again in August, seeing full custody of their children, alimony, child support and exclusive use of their Atlanta-area home.

Weeks later, Kim took to Instagram to claim that they were fine. “I’m living here [and] not going anywhere! Been working on our marriage and have been living as husband and wife,” she shared via Instagram Story on September 8.
Days later, a source exclusively told Us that the couple are “all over the place,” adding, “It’s a constant yo-yo that never seems to end.”
Kim claimed in court documents later that month that she and Kroy had sex several times since filing for divorce in May. Kroy’s legal team, however, fired back by saying he still wanted a divorce.
A match made in Georgia! Kim Zolciak-Biermann and her husband, Kroy Biermann, were together for more than a decade prior to when she filed for divorce in May 2023 and later dismissed the request. When Bravo fans first met the “House of Kim” podcast host in season 1 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, she […]
“The fact that he engaged in sexual relations with [Kim] does not indicate a desire to reconcile,” Kroy’s September court documents stated. “[Kroy], after this second filing, remains steadfast in his desire to leave [Kim], leave the marital residence, with the children, and provide a home for them that is calm and stable; the opposite of their current environment.”

They seemed to be on friendlier terms last month when Kroy accompanied Kim to Los Angeles for a vaginal rejuvenation procedure.
“Kroy came with her to help her out. It’s a big surgery,” a source exclusively told Us at the time while acknowledging that the exes’ have a “bizarre” bond. “They’re going through a divorce, talk badly about each other, then travel together.”
AJ McLean and Rochelle McLean have always put their marriage first — even in the wake of their temporary separation.
While the couple first met in 2008, their connection didn’t blossom until later. AJ asked out for the first while Rochelle worked as a waitress at Saddle Ranch in West Hollywood. While she rejected him the first time, AJ asked her out again one year later and she said yes.
AJ proposed in January 2010, and the pair walked down the aisle nearly two years later. After one year of marriage, AJ and Rochelle became parents for the first time when they welcomed their daughter Elliott in 2012. Five years later, the family of three expanded their brood with the arrival of daughter Lyric in 2017.
In March 2023, they decided to briefly separate after more than a decade of marriage.

“Marriage is hard, but worth it. We have mutually decided to separate temporarily to work on ourselves, and on our marriage with the hope of building a stronger future,” AJ and Rochelle told Us Weekly in a joint statement at the time. “The plan is to come back together and continue to nurture our love for one another, and our family. We ask for respect and privacy at this time. Separation is hard enough without the commentary, please be kind and remember there are children involved.”

“I believe in always looking forward and keeping your eye on the prize,” Spelling, 50, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, November 8. “But, this morning I took a pause for self-reflection. It’s important to look back once in a while and remind yourself how far you’ve come and what a badass you truly are.”
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum added “Strength” and “Live in the Moment” captions to her post.
Spelling’s social media upload featured a selfie of herself posing against a tree. The actress sported a white tank top and a nameplate necklace with her bicep tattoo on full display. Spelling’s ink reads, “Tout mon couer, tout ma vie.”
Tori Spellingand Dean McDermott have been making headlines since their scandalous start. The two actors met on set of Lifetime’s Mind Over Murder in 2005, a year after Spelling married her first husband, Charlie Shanian. McDermott, for his part, had been married to Mary Jo Eustace, with whom he shares son Jack, for more than […]
Spelling got the tattoo — which translates to “all my heart, all my life” from French — in 2016 as a matching piece of art with McDermott, now 56. The ink commemorated their 10th anniversary.
Since then, Spelling and McDermott’s relationship has gone through the wringer. McDermott, who wed Spelling in 2006, announced in June that the twosome had split after nearly two decades of marriage.
“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways and start a new journey of our own,” McDermott wrote via Instagram at the time. “We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time. We ask that you all respect our privacy as we take this time to surround our family with love and work our way through this.”

Spelling — who shares kids Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and Beau, 6, with McDermott — did not address the actor’s statement. McDermott deleted the post several hours later and a source subsequently told Us that the duo did not plan to divorce.
Nearly four months later, breakup speculation grew rampant after McDermott was spotted holding hands with Lily Calo. A second insider told Us in October that the romance between McDermott — who also shares son Jack, 25, with ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace — and Calo, 32, only began when he realized that “things were over with Tori.”
Amid their new relationships, Spelling and McDermott are currently on “fairly icy terms” with one another, according to a third source who earlier this month claimed that McDermott doesn’t buy Spelling’s new romance.
Lori Harvey and boyfriend Damon Idris have called it quits after less than one year of dating.
“We are at a point in our lives where our individual paths require our full attention and dedication,” the pair noted in a joint statement to Us Weekly. “We part ways remaining friends with nothing but love and respect for each other and the time we shared together.”
Harvey, 26, and Idris, 32, sparked split speculation earlier this week when fans realized they unfollowed each other on Instagram and deleted all of their photos of each other. The duo were also spotted arriving — and leaving — Odell Beckham Jr’s90’s-themed 31st birthday celebration separately on Monday, November 6, a source exclusively told Us Weekly.
After initially playing coy about their relationship status, Lori Harvey and Damson Idris were all smiles after going public. The couple sparked romance rumors in December 2022 when they were spotted on multiple outings following Harvey’s split from Michael B. Jordan. One month later, the socialite took to social media to make her new relationship […]
That same month, Harvey clapped back on social media when a troll claimed she and Idris had “no chemistry” together when they were photographed standing far apart at an event. “Or maybe I just had on body makeup and told him don’t stand too close to me because I didn’t want to get it on his suit lol,” she snapped back via Instagram. “Yall try to find a problem with everything.”
Before she began dating Idris, Harvey made headlines for her relationship with Jordan, 36, whom she dated for nearly two years before Us confirmed their split in June 2022. At the time, she got candid about how her parents, Marjorie Elaine Harvey and Steve Harvey, helped shape her perspective on romance.
“They’re definitely my couple goals,” she exclusively told Us. “I literally was just talking to my mom on the phone earlier and she was telling me what she got my dad for their anniversary tomorrow and I’m like, ‘Wow, you guys are literally goals.’ This is what I want one day.”

Two months later, she revealed that she was searching for “transparency, openness and communication” from a partner.
While many celeb couples have gone the distance in Hollywood, other romances haven’t stood the test of time. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott sparked an on-again, off-again relationship in 2017, welcoming two children: daughter Stormi and a son, whose name they have yet to reveal, in February 2018 and February 2022, respectively. Us Weekly broke […]
“I didn’t really know myself, I didn’t really know what I liked, what I didn’t like. I just feel like I hadn’t really experienced life,” she recalled on Bumble’s Luv2SeeIt YouTube series of feeling uneasy in a past relationship. “So, at that point I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to date on my terms.’ However, I want to move, whatever I want to do, I’m going to do it. And if it’s no longer serving me, I’m going to move on.”
“I asked Janelle once, ‘What is it? Why can’t we reconcile? Let’s try and reconcile. Why can’t we?’” he said in a confessional on Sunday, November 5, after visiting Janelle’s new apartment. “[She says], ‘Well, I don’t know what your relationship with Robyn and Meri are, but I’m just not interested in being involved with those people.’ And that’s sad. Because that’s the deal we made about plural marriage.”
Tensions have been high between Kody and Janelle, both 54, throughout season 18 after the pair had a blowout argument. They accused each other of “gaslighting” during their screaming match, which aired in September, and their status has remained up in the air on camera.
Kody confessed on Sunday that “it’s sad” to see how his marriage to Janelle has “unwound” over time. “I can’t get the puzzle pieces back together,” he said. “But I’m gonna ask her again next week if we might be able to reconcile. And it’s painful every time. Maybe I should get more serious about it, but every time, it’s like, ‘Nope.’”
Sister Wives star Kody Brown has his hands full with wife Robyn Brown and his three former partners, Meri Brown, Janelle Brown and Christine Brown. Kody’s family — which includes 18 total children— was thrust into the spotlight in September 2010 when Sister Wives premiered. At the time, Kody was courting his fourth wife, Robyn, […]
In an interview of her own, Janelle admitted she wasn’t that interested in trying to “nurture a relationship” with fellow sister wives Meri Brown and Robyn Brown. (Kody’s third wife, Christine Brown, left the family in late 2021.)
“It feels like something he’s trying to use to excuse his behavior,” Janelle said of Kody expecting her to get along with Meri, 52, and Robyn, 45. “‘Why would I want to get back together with you? It’s your fault. You’ll be a bad sister wife. I have to protect Robyn.’ Because he doesn’t have a relationship with Meri.”

According to Janelle, Kody hadn’t made it clear that he wanted to repair their marriage. “He’s never come to me and said, ‘Hey, I love you. I miss you. I wanna get back together,’” she claimed. “It’s always about, ‘Don’t you want to get the family back together,’ so that his life can run smoothly again? And I’m done with that, I really am.”
Janelle joined Kody’s plural family in 1993, three years after he tied the knot with Meri. Christine entered a spiritual relationship with Kody in 1994, and Robyn followed in 2010. Kody shook up the family’s dynamic in 2014 when he chose to legally divorce Meri and become Robyn’s lawful husband in order to adopt her children from a prior marriage. (Kody is the father of 18 kids between his four spouses.)
Sister Wives‘ Janelle Brown and Kody Brown’s plural marriage was anything but conventional ahead of their 2022 split. Janelle and Kody’s lives were intertwined well before they spiritually tied the knot in 1993. Janelle’s late mom, Sheryl Brown, and Kody’s dad, William Winn Brown, were married for years before William’s death in 2013, making the eventual […]
While Kody and Meri initially stayed in a spiritual union, they confirmed earlier this year that they called it quits. Janelle, for her part, revealed in December 2022 that she and Kody had been “separated for months.”
“I can talk to Janelle all the time and say, ‘Hey, what are we going to do? Are we going to reconcile this?’ And she doesn’t sound like she’s interested in reconciliation,” Kody told Us. “I mean, time changes things, and if you move forward with grace and forgiveness, maybe you’ll find love in the end … even if not staying in the marriage.”
It had all the makings of a modern fairy tale: girl meets boy on summer vacation, they become best friends, fall in love and get engaged, with reality TV cameras capturing every intimate moment along the way. So when Carl Radke suddenly ended his engagement to Lindsay Hubbard less than three months before their November wedding date, Summer House fans were shocked — and so was Hubbard.
“I was completely blindsided,” says Hubbard, 37, explaining that Radke never gave her a concrete reason for calling off the nuptials. “He blew up my entire life. I was crying, I was angry, and I had to find closure on my own. Now I’m at a place where I feel really good about moving on.” Hubbard sat down with Us at Daintree Rooftop & Lounge in NYC to share more about her devastating breakup, the healing process and how she’s beginning to find joy.
How have you been doing since confirming your split in September? The first month, I allowed myself to feel all of the feels: go through the sadness, the pain, the whiplash. I process [things] by talking about my emotions, and my friends allowed me that space. I was able to regain my strength and [the] confidence of like, OK, I can do this. The way that Carl handled everything was such an absolute betrayal of my trust, and when that happens, it makes it easier to pick yourself up and put yourself out there again.
So you didn’t have any idea this was coming? Every couple has normal arguments, but nothing that would’ve been so drastic as to break up. It was literally the last two weeks of summer that his demeanor and tone changed. There was a lot of combativeness and aggression on his end, and I was very confused.
“I want to have this weight lifted off my shoulders,” Hubbard says of breaking her silence on the split.Kevin Sturman/MEGA
Planning a wedding is often stressful. It’s high-stress. [Plus, we were] filming all summer. I think people got in his ear, [but] it’s not normal to call off a wedding because you had a couple of arguments.
Can you share more about the breakup? It was absolutely humiliating. It would’ve been one thing if this conversation happened over the summer during the normal filming schedule. But for [Carl] to call up producers and then set up cameras and manipulate me into sitting down [so he could break up with me] after we’d already wrapped is scary. The whole world found out within 30 minutes of me.
Who did you turn to for support? I have the most amazing group of girlfriends who rallied around me. We talked, we cried. And women are detectives, right? So we sat for the first week just, like, psychologically dissecting every bit and piece of this entire breakup.
Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke have been through it all on Summer House — from breakups to makeups and more — before calling off their engagement in August 2023. When the series premiered on Bravo in January 2017, Hubbard and Radke were part of the OG cast of Summer House and have since returned for […]
You and costar Danielle Olivera are close again. Was she there for you as well? She really has been so incredible in this entire process. I had a great time rebuilding my friendships with different girls in the house, and they were there for me throughout the summer. Whenever something happened with Carl, they were right there to validate me and give advice. It became a story about sisterhood.
How is your relationship with Kyle Cooke, considering he was critical of your and Carl’s relationship? Kyle has always had it out for me. He thinks that I’m some master manipulator who controls the universe and he’s good friends with Carl. I think part of him wants to give Carl an ally, and part of him just always thinks I’m the one who’s in the wrong. I’m used to it at this point.
Even though your costars questioned your and Carl’s romance, were they just as shocked as you by how it ended? No one saw it coming, not one person. There were no red flags. Two weeks before he called it off, I was at my bridal shower and he showed up. One week before, I was at my dress fitting and he was fitting for his suits with all of his groomsmen. It had nothing to do with wedding planning. There was no cheating.
“I deserve to be loved with a full heart, the way that I love,” Hubbard says. “I’m excited to find that person.”Kevin Sturman/MEGA
Your Summer House costars had said you were moving too fast. Looking back, do you agree? No, because when you create a friendship that we had over eight years, you know this person; you know their quirks, flaws and boundaries. You bypass that getting-to-know-you phase.
Was the breakup even harder, considering the history you and Carl had? That’s the hardest part of it all. And even now, if I have feelings that pop up in my mind or heart, it’s more that I lost my best friend than my fiancé.
Did you leave it up to him to handle the logistics of canceling the wedding? Correct. Since Carl decided to call off the wedding, he can be responsible for sending the email [to the guests]. Why would it be on me? This was not my decision.
What did you do with the ring? I gave it to my jeweler to sell it. I need to make up for all the lost money on the wedding.
Are you still at the apartment the two of you shared? I live there. I love my apartment. I spent a lot of time, money, and effort to make this home comfortable for us, for him to then burn it down. And at this point, I’m not in the mind space to think about, “Oh, where am I gonna live now?”
“I wish [Carl] a lot of healing and growth,” says Hubbard.Kevin Sturman/MEGA
Your November 17 wedding date is coming up. Will you do anything special?
I’m gonna start writing my book. It’ll be a mixture of career, dating and family [anecdotes]. I’ve got a lot of stories to tell.
Do you have any regrets about your relationship? No. I absolutely will never have regrets about being with him [and] loving somebody with everything that I have. Every experience, you learn and grow and navigate better the next time.
What has this breakup taught you about yourself? That I’m stronger than I ever thought, because if I can get through this, then everything else is peanuts to me. I’ve gotten a lot of [messages] from girls saying that it’s an inspiration to see how I’ve put one foot in front of the other to get back out there, starting with the bachelorette trip, which was just three weeks [after the split]. I feel like I’m getting the momentum to find happiness and joy.
Filming is well underway for Summer House season 8. Throughout summer 2023, the Bravo stars have been spotted partying and filming in the Hamptons following the drama that ended last season. Lindsay Hubbard confirmed that production on the reality show had resumed in July 2023 when responding to a fan’s Instagram comment. At the time, […]
You’ve always said you want the happy ending of marriage and kids. Do you still feel that way? Yes. I will never give up on love. I have a very big heart; I’m not going to shut myself off from somebody else who would appreciate it. [And] in the last month, all I could think was thank God I froze my eggs.
What kind of guy are you looking for? Somebody ambitious, emotionally intelligent, who makes me laugh, can be intimate with me and lets me be me. I have a lot of friends looking to set me up [and] there’s definitely been some people sliding into my DMs. I’m excited for this new chapter. I think it’s gonna be really good.
Sophia Bushopened up about how her most “interesting paranormal experience” involved ex-boyfriend Austin Nichols.
“Back in the early days of our show [One Tree Hill], all of us were partnered and then I very publicly was not,” Bush, 41, shared on a Thursday, October 26, episode of the “Drama Queens” podcast, seemingly referring to her split with Chad Michael Murray. “The first date I went on was with a very sweet boy named Austin Nichols when I was 23. We dated on and off for years.”
The actress went on to explain to her podcast cohosts Hilarie Burton Morgan and Bethany Joy Lenz that Nichols, 43, joined the cast of One Tree Hill after he told Bush that he’s “not going to let [her] tell him that they can’t date because the long distance was too hard.”
“Bold, gorgeous, romantic gesture,” Bush gushed. “We laugh about it all the time. We’re still good friends.”

Bush then dove into her and Nichols’ spooky experience when they were living together in Wilmington, North Carolina, which is where OTH was filmed.
“When we were properly able to date because we were living in the same city for the first time in a decade. We were sleeping and this was when I had that creepy apartment. I just knew it was haunted,” she shared. “I hear this noise [one night] and it wakes me up … it’s in the floor. I turn the light on and Austin looks at me and goes, ‘What is that noise?’ We both start to make our way over to it. A volleyball size orb pops out of the floor. We both start to scream. The two of us lept up and ran. This thing went from round to tall and then evaporated.”
Although it was a scary situation, Bush was “so happy that one of her friends was with her.”
“We still are like, ‘Wasn’t that so weird?’ It’s nice to know we’re not crazy,” Bush joked.
Sophia Bush isn’t afraid to admit her past romances weren’t all perfect. “My first experience with love was incredibly pure. The boy I loved had been one of my best friends from the time we were 9 years old,” the actress wrote in a personal essay published on Cosmopolitan in 2017. “In my 20s, when […]
Bush and Nichols — who were also a couple on One Tree Hill — officially split in February 2012 after six years of dating on-and-off. “She didn’t think he was the one,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “She’s moving on.”
Nichols was not the only One Tree Hill star that Bush dated — she also had romances with Murray, 42, and James Lafferty.
Murray and Bush tied the knot in April 2005, however, five months later the duo announced their split amid cheating speculation. Several years later, Bush shared she’s “not allowed” to talk about Murray because of people’s reactions from the past.
“I’ve tried to poke fun at being a dumb kid and whenever I’ve done that, it gets twisted into I’m talking s—t about somebody who I don’t even know anymore, who’s clearly a grown-up,” she explained on the “Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum” podcast in August 2021. “I think you have to, like, laugh at who you used to be, but when people ask me about history that involves someone else … it’s not worth my time. It’s not a place where I harbor ill will or anything. I was a very naïve 21-year-old kid, and that’s all there is to it.”
In the words of the great Peyton Sawyer, sometimes all you need is one — but it may take a while to get there. The characters on One Tree Hill were in countless love triangles, went on romantic excursions and even got married in high school. In real life, things weren’t always so magical. Although […]
Following their divorce, Bush struck up a brief romance with Lafferty, 38, in 2008.

Bush recently made headlines in August when it was revealed that her and Grant Hughessplit after 13 months of marriage. Following her divorce, multiple outlets reported in October that Bush had moved on with soccer star Ashlyn Harris.
“It’s only been a couple of weeks since their first official date, but things already feel really natural between them,” a source told Us. “They love being together. They love sports and want to do good in the world.”
Swift, 33, dropped her much anticipated 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on Friday, October 27 — the fourth of her six planned re-recordings. In addition to all 19 original tracks, the album features five extra never-before-heard songs “from the vault” — including a few that fans think could hint at her split from Styles, 29, whom she dated prior 1989’s initial 2014 release.
In “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Verison),” a synthy pop ballad, Swift appears to be singing about the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship when both people are living in the public eye.
“And did you think I didn’t see you? / There were flashin’ lights,” Swift sings, seemingly about her ex being photographed with a new partner. “At least I had the decency / To keep my nights out of sight / Only rumors ’bout my hips and thighs /And my whispered sighs,” she adds.
Swift goes on to call the former flame a “lying traitor” before accusing them of searching in “every model’s bed for something greater.” (Styles was linked to Kendall Jenner from 2013 to 2014.) Elsewhere in the song, Swift calls the ex’s “new girl” her “clone” and makes quips about their mutual inability to let the romance go.
“Let’s fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later,” she croons. “If she’s got blue eyes, I surmise that you’ll probably date her.”
Swift’s biggest tease that the song could be about Styles, however, comes in the second verse, where she paints a picture of past memories. “When you lost control / Red blood, white snow,” she recalls. The images seem to parallel “Out of the Woods” off of 1989’s original tracklist, in which Swift recounts the ordeal, singing, “Remember when you hit the brakes too soon/Twenty stitches in a hospital room/When you started crying, Baby, I did too.”
Swift revealed in a2014 Rolling Stone interview that she and an ex were once involved in a snowmobile accident. “You know what I’ve found works even better than an NDA?” she told the outlet. “Looking someone in the eye and saying, ‘Please don’t tell anyone about this.” Styles, meanwhile, was photographed with a bandage on his chin just days after the incident took place.
Also in the second verse, Swift remembers a “blue dress on a boat.” In 2013, Swift and Styles reportedly called it quits during a getaway to the Virgin Islands. “They had a fight,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time, adding that Styles “said something he shouldn’t have.” At the time, Swift was photographed leaving the vacation on a boat while looking forlorn and donning a now-famous royal blue dress.
Swift and Styles were first linked in late 2012 before their split in January 2013. While their whirlwind romance appeared brief, 1989 — which was released in October 2014 and marked Swift’s official transition into the pop world — is believed by fans to be largely inspired by her relationship with Styles, with tracks like “Out of the Woods,” “Style” and more.
Swift has never officially confirmed any of her music is about the former One Direction singer — as she famously doesn’t “name names” when it comes to her songwriting — but she has heavily teased the idea. After 1989 hit shelves, she told Rolling Stone that “Style” should have been titled, “I’m Not Even Sorry.’” In December 2014, she opened up about her inspiration behind the track during an appearance on The Morning Show.
“‘Style’ is actually bout those relationships that are never really done,” she quipped of the tongue-in-cheek track. “You always kind of have that one person who you feel like might interrupt your wedding and be like, ‘Don’t do it, we’re not over yet.’ I think everybody has that one person who kind of floats in and out of their life and the narrative is never truly over.”

Styles, for his part, shared his thoughts on potentially being the subject of Swift’s songs during a 2014 interview with Google Hangout. “We always say that we write from personal experience, and I think everyone does. So, it would be hypocritical to say ‘Oh, you can’t write songs.’ And she’s really good, so, they’re good songs,” he said of the 12-time Grammy winner. “I’m really lucky in that sense.”

While speaking to Rolling Stonein 2017, he expanded on his thoughts further, telling the outlet, “I’m lucky if everything [we went through] helped create those songs. That’s what hits your heart. That’s the stuff that’s hardest to say, and it’s the stuff I talk least about. That’s the part that’s about the two people.”
Swift and Styles have seemingly remained on good terms since their split — often seen chatting it up at awards shows over the years — and have both gone on to date other A-list stars. Swift was linked to Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris and Joe Alwynbefore moving on withTravis Kelceearlier this year. Styles, meanwhile, split from Olivia Wilde in November 2022 after nearly two years of dating. In June, he sparked romance rumors with Taylor Russell after the twosome were spotted together in London.
“Tonight’s Dance on @dancingwiththestars is about life and how it’s not always perfect and when you think it’s impossible to move mountains and you’re at your lowest moment and you think all doors are closed you need to rise up and rise unafraid and move mountains,” Umansky, 53, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, October 24, ahead of the ABC series’ latest episode. “My time was 1996 when Kyle and I got married and Alexia was born.”
Richards, 54, was already the mother of daughter Farrah, 34, whom she shares with ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie, when she met Umansky. The Buying Beverly Hills star recalled the early days of his marriage to Richards as difficult, in part because money was super tight.
“We had Farrah and Alexia. I was 26 when I was fired from my job and was broke,” Umansky recalled. “Kyle was my rock and together we rose up and we rose up 1000 x and we moved mountains a lot of them. It’s been an incredible journey. Tonight’s dance is dedicated to Kyle and my Family.”
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have shared insight into their sudden split after 27 years of marriage. Us Weekly confirmed in July 2023 that the couple were taking time apart. “Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while, but are still currently living together,” a source revealed at […]
Umansky and Richards went on to welcome daughters Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15.

In July, Us Weekly confirmed that Umansky and Richards separated after 27 years of marriage. “Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while, but are still currently living together,” a source told Us at the time, noting that the twosome “are amicable while they figure out the next steps.”
The pair later confirmed they “had a rough year” but denied reports that they were divorcing. “We both love and respect each other tremendously,” they added in a joint statement shared via Instagram. “There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately.”

“We’re in the middle of dealing with our life and our marriage and we have not thrown in the towel,” he explained. “We are still working on it. And it’s hard and it’s hard in the public eye and it’s hard while everybody’s asking because the reality is that when a couple’s going through the times that we’re going through right now, what you need is time.”
Umansky went on to say that he and Richards “do not know” what the future of their relationship looks like. “We’re not hiding anything,” he continued. “We legitimately do not know what that looks like.”
A Real Housewives success story. Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky were married for more than two decades before shocking fans with their separation in 2023. The Halloween star was previously married to Guraish Aldjufrie from 1988 to 1992. Before calling it quits, the pair welcomed daughter Farrah in October 1988. The ER alum met Umansky […]
“Right before the dance, the trailer for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills came out about my marriage, and my kids were in the [DWTS] audience and I wasn’t addressing it with them,” he told Slater, 34.
After the live show, he told Instagram followers that he “missed a big chunk of my dance but I kept it going and it was really the votes that kept me in it.”

Earlier this week, Umansky raised eyebrows when he was spotted holding hands with Slater after dinner in Beverly Hills in photos obtained by TMZ. The pair were also snapped sharing a laugh before their meal.
Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
Christine, 51, sat down with Janelle, 54, during the Sunday, October 22, episode to reflect on their respective highs and lows with Kody, 54, as the polygamist family’s dynamic continues to fracture. When Christine asked whether Kody knew where Janelle was “at mentally” in regards to their relationship, Janelle didn’t hold back.
“I tell him and I talk to him, but I don’t think he’s tracking,” she said, to which Christine replied, “I think he’s just a monogamist now.”
Janelle agreed — much to Christine’s surprise. “This is the first time Janelle’s agreed with me that Kody lives monogamy,” she said in a confessional.
Kody Brown’s relationships with Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown and Robyn Brown have all had their ups and downs — but many Sister Wives viewers were shocked when nearly all his wives started to leave him. TLC fans were introduced to the Brown family in 2010 when he was legally married to Meri and […]
Janelle, meanwhile, told the cameras that Kody “slipped into” the single-partner lifestyle with fourth wife Robyn Brown. “I think maybe he did it a while ago and was just trying to maintain his responsibilities with his plural family,” she continued. “If I cared, it would bother me. But I don’t care. I really don’t.”
Referring to Kody and Robyn, 45, Janelle quipped: “They can have each other.”
When Sister Wives premiered in 2010, Robyn had just joined the family. Kody was legally married to Meri Brown at the time and had spiritual unions with Christine and Janelle. Four years later, however, he shook up his relationships by divorcing Meri, 52, in order to lawfully wed Robyn and adopt her children from a previous marriage. (He and Meri remained together spiritually until their split earlier this year.)
Sister Wives‘ Janelle Brown and Kody Brown’s plural marriage was anything but conventional ahead of their 2022 split. Janelle and Kody’s lives were intertwined well before they spiritually tied the knot in 1993. Janelle’s late mom, Sheryl Brown, and Kody’s dad, William Winn Brown, were married for years before William’s death in 2013, making the eventual […]
Christine was the first sister wife to leave the family, announcing her breakup in November 2021. She has since moved on with husband David Woolley, whom she wed in Utah earlier this month.
Throughout season 18 of Sister Wives, Janelle and Kody’s strained relationship has been front and center. The twosome had a blowout fight during a September episode, which Janelle confessed on Sunday “effectively” ended their marriage. (She officially confirmed their breakup in December 2022.)

“Everything was great until the last year or so,” she told Christine. “Then I began to realize I started changing. I realized I need something different … I keep thinking that there should be more drama, but I’m just like, ‘I’m ready to do something different.’”
Janelle described her separation from Kody as “very amiable,” but Christine wasn’t so sure. “I saw the fight,” she teased in a confessional.
Since their tension reached an all-time high, Janelle realized she felt “more at peace” without Kody around. Kody, for his part, appeared to be warming to the idea of only having one spouse.
Christine Brown‘s split from now-ex Kody Brown came as a shock to Sister Wives viewers. “After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave,” Christine wrote in November 2021. “We will continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we […]
“My whole life seems to center around mine and Robyn’s household,” he said on Sunday’s episode, noting that Robyn was encouraging him to “fix” his relationships with Meri and Janelle. “I’m like, ‘Listen, when I’m around them, there’s no flicker. There’s no flame.’”
Kody reflected on the “weird” state of his family, adding, “I’m married to the love of my life. I’ve got these other situations at different levels of discord. And it’s hard to reconcile.”

Speaking exclusively in Us Weekly‘s first-ever Reality Stars of the Year issue, Kody gave an update on his status with Janelle. “I mean, time changes things, and if you move forward with grace and forgiveness, maybe you’ll find love in the end … even if not staying in the marriage,” he told Us.
A source exclusively tells Us Weekly that those close to McDermott, 56, and Spelling, 50, believe “they’re headed for divorce” and that “it’s been that way for a while.” The update comes less than two weeks after McDermott was seen holding hands with Lily Calo while entering the Department of Social Services in West Valley on October 10.
McDermott and Calo were spotted together again on Tuesday, October 17, at LAX airport. In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the pair exchanged kisses as the former Chopped Canada host unloaded Calo’s luggage from the back of his car,
“Dean stepping out with a new woman since he hadn’t been seen in a long time is disrespectful to Tori,” the insider says. “He hasn’t been as actively engaged with the family since they separated.”
While McDermott appears to be moving on amid the duo’s ongoing drama, the source tells Us that Spelling is equally ready to put this era behind her.
Tori Spellingand Dean McDermott have been making headlines since their scandalous start. The two actors met on set of Lifetime’s Mind Over Murder in 2005, a year after Spelling married her first husband, Charlie Shanian. McDermott, for his part, had been married to Mary Jo Eustace, with whom he shares son Jack, for more than […]
“She’s over it,” the insider shares. “Tori is focusing on herself and her personal well-being with the kids. She wants to close the chapter with Dean.”
While McDermott and Spelling, who tied the knot in 2006, have “had their highs and lows for a while,” the source says, Spelling’s bond with the pair’s five children — sons Liam, 16, Finn, 11, and Beau, 6, and daughters Stella, 15, and Hattie, 12 — is stronger than ever. (McDermott also shares son Jack, 24, with ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace.)
“[Tori] is very protective of her kids. They’ve become closer to Tori and she has stepped up to [the] plate and taken control in making sure they’re happy and healthy,” the source says. “And she’s doing her best to provide for her kids.”

Her very own troop from Beverly Hills! Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott have their hands full with their five children — but they aren’t the only family members in this brood. “With five, you definitely have to move as a family unit,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2019. […]
“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways and start a new journey of our own,” he wrote via Instagram at the time alongside several throwback photos of himself and Spelling. “We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time.”

McDermott deleted the post hours after his initial upload. Although neither he nor Spelling have publicly addressed their marital woes since, a second source told Us in August that financial stress has been weighing heavily on their family.
The insider noted that the twosome tend to “spend money like they’ll never run out of it,” which has put Spelling in a tough financial spot with her money troubles “catching up with her.”
Laird recapped some “Moments in March” by sharing scenes from the set of their movie “The Brutalist,” which she stars in alongside Alwyn, Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce.
Among the photos was a snap of the “Anti-Hero” singer’s ex smiling while scootering around the streets of Hungary, where the project began filming on March 16.

Presumably taken last month, the photo could have been from around the time of the Swift split.
In early April, sources reported that the singer and actor’s relationship ended “a few weeks” prior.
Swift insiders told People they parted ways due to a “difference in their personalities,” while noting the breakup was nothing “dramatic.”
According to those close to the pop star, the couple “had rough patches before and always worked things out, so friends thought they would take some time apart but eventually come back together.”
Now that the breakup is official, the Swift squad appears to be cutting any digital ties to Alwyn.
The “We Are Never Getting Back Together” singer’s famous friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and rockers Danielle, Alana and Este Haim have all reportedly unfollowed him on Instagram.
