Ashton Kutcher has some sweet words for Demi Moore years after breaking her heart.
As we’re sure you’ve heard the story, Ashton and Demi were married from 2005 to 2011, calling it quits after six years. They finalized their messy divorce in 2013, but it wasn’t until 2019 did Demi drop the bombshell claiming Ashton cheated on her in her memoir Inside Out. Despite the couple being known to have threesomes, she claimed he hooked up with a 21-year-old in THEIR house!

She alleged he picked up the unnamed young woman while hanging out with Demi and Bruce Willis‘ daughter Rumer, which really just rubbed salt into the wound. Not to mention the actress had also recently suffered a miscarriage, too. So sad.
Luckily, with all that behind them, they do seem to be on better terms… And Ashton proved that when he praised his ex wife’s talents. While chatting with Entertainment Tonight about his upcoming series The Beauty, the 47-year-old complimented Demi while discussing how his series is being compared to her movie The Substance:
“I mean, one, Demi’s performance in The Substance, obviously she got extraordinary accolades, I’m so proud of her, she killed it.”
So sweet!
We’re so glad to see these two have been able to put the past behind them after so much pain. Reactions, Perezcious readers?
Denise Richards is looking forward to a fresh start in 2026 after a tough year.
Posting via her Instagram on Thursday, January 1, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 54, described 2025 as “one of the most painful years I’ve lived.”
“Looking back at all the photos & videos I have of 2025, it feels like I’m looking at two different people & lived two different lives. Seeing a lot of your posts, many of you felt the same way. I will never forget this year, one of the most painful years I’ve lived,” Richards reflected.
She continued, “A year of letting go, truths being exposed. As painful as it is, I’m so grateful for the clarity. I shed a lot of tears and felt pain & betrayal I never knew existed.”
Denise Richards’ ongoing divorce from Aaron Phypers is turning into a courtroom battle. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum found herself in the headlines when her estranged husband filed for divorce in July 2025 after six years of marriage. Since then, the pair have dropped serious legal allegations against each other in court documents […]
The Wild Things star went on to thank her family, friends and doctors for getting through the year in which she faced both personal and physical challenges.
Richards is currently in the midst of a tumultuous divorce from estranged husband Aaron Phypers, 53.
As Us Weekly previously reported, Phypers filed for divorce on July 7, 2025 after six years of marriage. Richards filed for a restraining order days later. She accused Phypers of being abusive during their relationship, which he adamantly denied.
The court granted Richards a permanent restraining order against Phypers on November 7, 2025. Phypers was arrested at court on October 17, 2025 after testifying as part of the restraining order trial. Prosecutors charged Phypers with two felony counts of injuring a spouse and two felony counts of dissuading a witness by force or threat. Phypers is facing years in prison if convicted.

Before her relationship with Phypers, Richards was married to actor Charlie Sheen, 60, from 2002 to 2006. They share two daughters: Sam, 21 and Lola, 20. (Richards later adopted daughter Eloise in 2011.)
In 2025, Richards also suffered a physical setback when she ruptured her breast implants during a particularly grueling task while competing on season 3 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
“I jumped off a bridge, too — and that’s when I ruptured my [breast] implants — off of that thing,” Richards explained on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” on January 3, 2025, while discussing the physical challenges she faced on the show.
Months before Aaron Phypers filed for divorce, Denise Richards hinted that splitting was not in the cards for her. “After the divorce I went through with their dad … It’s not fun. It’s really kind of awful,” Richards, 54, exclusively told Us Weekly in an interview with daughters Sami and Lola in February. (Richards shares […]
Richards also shared her gratitude for her fans in her reflective Instagram post and expressed her desire to look ahead to the future.
“Going to comic cons this year & Bravocon was so humbling for me. Meeting all of you [fans] & hearing how much you’ve supported me throughout my career. I’m so grateful to all of you,” Richards wrote.
She added, “I did have a lot of blessed happy moments in 2025 & especially the last couple months, I’m finally starting to feel like me again, only better. I’m looking forward to the year of the Horse. I feel very lucky that it starts on my birthday✨Happy New year to all of you & Happy new You to those of you that really went through it in 2025. Happy 2026!”
From TikTok anthems to chart-crushing pop hits, her songs are absolutely everywhere right now. The Canadian singer, dancer, and viral social media favorite, only 22 years old, has been fueling our powerful “who runs the world – girls!” playlists with her sassy diva lyrics ever since her breakout hit ‘greedy’ dropped in 2023. Before the release of ‘greedy,’ the 2021 track ‘You Broke Me First’ was already making waves, peaking within the top ten of the Canadian Hot 100 and landing in the top 20 of the US Billboard Hot 100, proving her star power long before her latest takeover.
With the recent release of the 2025 Spotify Wrapped, we stand on the edge of 2026. The Honey Pop decided to share with you Tate McRae’s essential tracks you definitely don’t want to miss.
‘Just Keep Watching‘
It’s a clear banger to go wild, whether you’re crushing it at the gym, sweating it out at home, or forcefully preparing for exams. All while aiming to reach that prime era where you can proudly tell yourself – you are the best! Released later this year, ‘Just Keep Watching’has already hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Electronic Songs chart and broken into the Top 10 on both the Global and U.S. Spotify charts.
Undoubtedly, Tate McRae’s popularity is skyrocketing just as fast as 2025 flew by. And surprise: ‘Just Keep Watching’ is featured on the soundtrack for the new Brad Pitt film F1, which follows the turbulent career of struggling race car driver Sonny Hayes, set against themes of success, friendship, and a dramatic crash back into reality.
So, if you haven’t started blasting this fiery, unstoppable track to crush your day and chase your dreams, do it now—even the F1 soundtrack credit can’t top it!
‘Greedy‘
Yes, yes, I know, we know, and TikTok knows too, otherwise, why would your feed be streaming the iconic“I would want myself” lines on every reel? You sigh, “Again this song?” We say, obviously—this track is a must. A hymn for all the broken women’s hearts, reminding them how precious they are and that no one should ever burden them if they can’t value their incomparable selves. ‘greedy’ ruthlessly dominated the charts in 2023, leaving every competitor in the dust.
Powerful as a self-affirmation, ‘greedy’ pushes even further, showing that your value doesn’t depend on someone you used to love or love in general. Self-love is always stronger, and it deserves to be celebrated just like this song. C’mon, ladies and gentlemen, after all, it’s her most-streamed hit with 2.07 billion total streams. Give it the credit it truly deserves!
‘You Broke Me First‘
After the first two bangers mentioned above, ‘You Broke Me First’ may have slipped a little from music lovers’ minds, but don’t let that fool you. It’s still another heartbreak-revenge anthem for the ages.
Written collaboratively with Griffin Stoller, Victoria Zaro, and Lowell, all talented musical producers and independent artists, ‘You Broke Me First’ is a more honest, raw, and quietly regretful take on love, especially compared to the bold, sassy energy of ‘Greedy.’ With its emotional vibe and perfect balance between “sad-pop” and mainstream energy, it’s a timeless classic that still hits hard in today’s overly digital world.
In fact, ‘You Broke Me First’marked McRae’s global breakthrough, amassing 1.9 billion streams since its 2020 release and remaining popular to this day.
‘Exes‘
Last but certainly not least in our selection is, of course, and we know you’ve been waiting for this one—‘ Exes,’And please don’t tell us you haven’t heard it or that you didn’t dance to it on one of your girls‘ nights out. We know you totally did. The pop, R&B, and trap vibes of the track actually stem from McRae’s spontaneous decision to add one final song to her album Think Later, serving as a logical conclusion that reflects the album’s full concept in a polished way.
Released the same year as ‘Greedy,’ it also earned its well-deserved spot on the Olympus with 735 million streams—a solid hit among her songs. Even more, her live performances of the track are outstanding, combining strong choreography with powerful vocals. Ironically, what began as an afterthought has become a chart-topping hit, proving that McRae is a pop genius who deserves all your attention.
Jessica Simpson and ex-husband Eric Johnson are continuing to stay amicable in the wake of their split, spending the Thanksgiving holiday together.
Speaking to TMZ on Friday, November 28, the singer, 45, confirmed Johnson was present at her family Thanksgiving celebrations. (Simpson and Johnson, 45, share three kids: Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 6.)
“We were altogether yesterday over at my mom’s,” Simpson told the outlet.
When asked if that included Johnson, Simpson responded, “Of course. That’s my kids’ father.”
Simpson said that “all their grandparents” were also in attendance at the Thanksgiving event. She added, “Family first.”
The “Breadcrumbs” singer shared her take on how to navigate coparenting following a breakup, emphasizing that respect for one another is crucial.
“No matter what, your kid is half the other person, and [you should] always have respect in what you say around them so they can always have a good perspective on it,” she explained, adding, “Unconditional love’s important.”
“Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

However, the pair appear to be moving forward in an amicable way. In August, they were spotted boarding a Southwest Airlines flight from Burbank to Las Vegas.
During the flight, Simpson and Johnson were snapped sitting in the same row with a middle seat left empty between them. While their children did not accompany them on the trip, the journey was still a family affair as the pair were off to see Simpson’s sister Ashlee perform in Vegas that same weekend.
In February 2025, Simpson confirmed to People that she and Johnson were still on good terms despite calling it quits.
“I don’t know why my heart gets tossed around, but I’m one of the lucky ones,” she told the outlet. “At least I have my children and I still have Eric. He’s still very much a part of my life and will always be.”
Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson‘s separation didn’t come as a shock to some fans. Simpson, 44, confirmed their decision to part ways in a statement on Monday, January 13, which read, “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing […]
Simpson and Johnson met in May 2010 and the former NFL player popped the question just six months later. The pair tied the knot in July 2014 in front of friends and family in Montecito, California.
“I think I’m into younger men at the moment,” she told Extra in October. “When you’re newly separated … I feel like younger guys kinda like the confidence of an older woman, I’m discovering.”
The “Blame Me” singer added, “I am having fun!”
Simpson has also resurrected her music career following her split, releasing new music for the first time in September after a 15-year hiatus.
Pratt, 46, and Faris, 48, were photographed together on Thursday, November 27. The actress dropped their son Jack, 13, off to join his dad at a volunteering event to help feed the homeless.
The exes, who split in 2017 after eight years of marriage, hugged while exchanging pleasantries during the brief meetup.
Faris kept it casual in a black sweater and matching pants. Pratt opted for a white T-shirt, jeans and black baseball cap.
Chris Pratt is acknowledging how hard it is to step in and become a stepparent — just as his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, did. “It’s a tough job. Parenting is a little bit like mo-cap acting because, in the end, you don’t end up getting the credit you deserve,” Pratt, 46, shared during a joint appearance […]
After finalizing their divorce in 2018, Pratt moved on with Katherine Schwarzenegger, whom he wed in the following year. The couple share daughters Lyla, 5, and Eloise, 3, and son Ford, 12 months.
Faris, for her part, tied the knot with cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021. She is a stepmom to Barrett’s two kids from a previous relationship.
On Thursday, Pratt shared a series of snaps from this year on social media.
“Thankful,” the Marvel star captioned an Instagram slideshow.
Since their split, Faris and Pratt have been focused on maintaining a strong coparenting bond for their son.
“We tried really hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed,” the pair said in a joint statement after announcing their separation. “Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep the situation as private as possible moving forward. We still love each other and will always cherish our time together.”
Faris later explained that she and Pratt prioritize their communication effort to ensure that they can effectively coparent Jack.
“What Chris and I try to do is to communicate openly,” she said in an 2018 interview with Women’s Health. “We reiterate that there aren’t rules to this. We have a lot of love and friendship, and our big goal is to protect Jack. I cherish my family, my close friends, my child — that makes the rest of it worth it.”
When Pratt decided to propose to Schwarzenegger in 2019, Faris shared that she was thrilled for her to join the family.
“I so subscribe to the idea of, like, expanding family and love with Jack,” Faris explained during a 2019 episode of her “Anna Faris Is Unqualified” podcast. “[Katherine’s] awesome.”
In November 2022, Faris once again gushed about how “awesome” of a stepmom Schwarzenegger is to Jack.
Katherine Schwarzenegger’s heart isn’t set on living in Hollywood forever. Schwarzenegger, 35, opened up about what it would take for her to move out of Tinseltown with her husband, Chris Pratt, and their children. “I can see myself moving anywhere that my mother, father and my siblings would also move with my husband and I […]
“She’s just on top of it. I love how she is with Jack,” Faris told People, adding that she was grateful that the whole family was “getting much closer.”
Thank You!

Earlier this year, Pratt and Faris reunited in honor of Jack’s sixth grade graduation. The duo shared an embrace while attending the ceremony, per Page Six.
In August, Pratt celebrated Jack’s birthday, reflecting on his son’s major milestone.
“I have a teenager???” the Terminal List star wrote via Instagram at the time. “Jack, I can’t believe you are 13 today. I’ve watched you grow into such an incredible young man, and am truly proud of the person you are becoming.”
During the Monday, November 24, episode of the “Simplistic” podcast, Marciano, 32, and his brother, Sonny, sat down to address the misconceptions about his individual relationships with Jessi, 33, and Demi, 30, where he attempted to clear his name.
Hulu viewers were introduced to Marciano on the inaugural season of Vanderpump Villa, but it wasn’t until season 2 that his path crossed with Jessi and Demi when the Mormon Wives visited Italy. After filming wrapped, Marciano claimed he had been in contact with both of the reality stars — but only Jessi admitted to an emotional affair.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives didn’t just tackle Marciano Brunette and Demi Engemann’s alleged romantic connection — it also sparked a new revelation about an alleged affair with Jessi Ngatikaura. The drama actually started on another Hulu show — Vanderpump Villa — when Demi, Jessi, Jen Affleck, Layla Taylor and Mikayla Matthews were guests […]
“I did come out with a pretty bold and true statement against Marciano [recently] because at that point it was like, ‘You’re lying about me. Actually, you were the predator.’ So I’m not going to stay quiet — and I stand by that statement,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in May. “There’s more happening behind the scenes with that that will come to light. I’m sure at this point it’s become a legal matter. There’s not much more I can say on it as of now because I want to preserve the fact that it’s a serious situation. But I stand behind those statements.”
On Monday’s podcast, Marciano denied Demi’s version of events. He claimed Demi was in contact with him for weeks after they met on screen and her husband, Bret Engemann, was aware of their communication. (Demi discussed Brett knowing about her talks with Marciano on season 3 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered in November, but maintained that they did not have an affair.)
Marciano also clarified that despite Demi’s accusations, no official charges against him were filed. He went on to address how Demi’s claims affected his future on reality TV. Keep scrolling for the biggest revelations from his podcast appearance:
His Relationship With Demi From His Point of View

According to Marciano, he was in contact with Demi as soon as the Mormon Wives cast stopped filming season 2 of Vanderpump Villa. When asked how many calls he shared with Demi, he replied, “There would be times where it [would] be 10 in a day.”
Marciano also recalled Demi and Bret offering him a place to stay — in their home — when he visited Utah. (Demi didn’t dispute Marciano’s claims on season 3 of Mormon Wives but denied allegations that they had a secret relationship.)

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast filmed their scenes for season 2 of Vanderpump Villa before their show even aired on Hulu. By the time season 2 of Vanderpump Villa premiered, so had the first season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Marciano was then asked to film content for season 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives where he spoke out about his past with Demi — and his affair with Jessi. He claimed on the podcast that this was all meant to be for season 2 but the scenes were split up between the second and third installment of Mormon Wives.
“He was contracted for season 2, not season 3. We didn’t know there was going to be a whole six months in between the next season,” Marciano’s brother, Sonny, claimed. “The contract looked the same because we thought we were doing season 2. We filmed everything thinking it was going into season 2.”
While Marciano didn’t “want to throw everyone in the mud,” Sonny expressed frustration that the scenes were filmed for season 2 before the show blew up. But ultimately some of the content was allegedly saved for season 3 once Secret Lives of Mormon Wives became a big hit.
His Disappearance From the Narrative

Before Demi accused Marciano of sexual misconduct, which he has continued to deny, the Vanderpump Villa alum was expected to play a larger role in season 3. Marciano and Sonny recalled him allegedly being “pulled out” of an event after Demi went public with her claims and they haven’t heard from production since about his future on the show.
Marciano previously alluded to the controversy when he shared a TikTok in May about being disinvited to an event. Bret, for his part, showed support for Demi amid the drama.
“I’m so proud of this beautiful human. She’s the most incredible woman I will ever know,” he wrote via Instagram at the time “The amount of nonsense she’s had to endure at the hands of disingenuous and deceitful fools is astounding. She’s conducted herself like a graceful lioness amongst a bunch of yipping hyenas.”
Marciano also claimed that he offered to film a sit down with Demi’s husband but was told Bret wasn’t interested. While Vanderpump Villa has been renewed for a third season, Marciano remained unsure about his reality TV future due to the allegations.

Jessi vs. Demi

Despite exploring a connection with both Demi and Jessi, Marciano only had true feelings for one of them.
“Jessi all day. That’s the easiest decision of all time,” he revealed. “Because Jessi was a real person where I didn’t have to question her motives — especially after everything came out. She was such a good person. It was way deeper.”
Marciano said he thinks he was in love with her, adding, “I will always have feelings for her. But she’s married so I shouldn’t be saying that. … I wish I went for Jessi first.”
Green, 52, and Thiessen, 51, attended a private event hosted by Sandals Resorts on Thursday, November 30, in support of the company’s eponymous foundation.
Green dressed casually in a gray pair of jeans with a coordinating bomber jacket and baseball jacket, while Thiessen opted for a white, eyelet blouse with dark jeans of her own and cherry-red ankle boots. The exes were all smiles as they posed for a series of photos together.
Thiessen, who brought 15-year-old daughter Harper to the festivities, dated Green from 1992 to 1995. Amid their romance, Thiessen was cast on Green’s show Beverly Hills, 90210.
“I had a crush on her before 90210 because we used to do all these teen magazines or whatever,” Green recalled on an April episode of his “Oldish” podcast, referring to Thiessen’s Saved by the Bell tenure. “I was like, ‘Oh I don’t stand a chance. I’m reaching way above my weight class on this one.’”
Green subsequently started introducing Thiessen to his 90210 colleagues and producers, who even enlisted her for a multi-season arc beginning in season 5 after Shannen Doherty’s exit.
“I had no idea she was going to replace Shannen at that point and her story line is going to be this [big] … and it was just the hardest thing in the world,” Green said. “This was more of a complete family, and I was there all day long every single day so all of a sudden she comes in and she’s working with people, not with me. She has a dressing [room] in the same hallway, but we have different call times, and we have different things going on.”

He continued, “It was just an invasion in my space. … I [wanted] to share my life with someone but at the same time it’s my space, so it’s hard for me to be like, ‘Yeah let’s make a decision together.’”
According to Green, he eventually got “incredibly jealous” of Thiessen’s story lines and romantic scenes.
“There was just absolutely not a shred of maturity in the way I dealt. I was a wreck,” he admitted. “Every time I’d get a new script I was like, ‘Oh her character starts with Luke [Perry] and now she’s with Ian [Ziering].’ She literally dated every guy on the show.”
Green previously revealed on Doherty’s “Let’s Be Clear” podcast that he used to “freak out” over any of Thiessen’s 90210 sex scenes.
“I was incredibly jealous every time she would f***ing have to work with anybody else because we’d already been doing the show for four years,” he told Doherty, who died later that year, in March 2024. “I used to bring Tiffani to events so she knew everybody from then and then all of a sudden she’s doing sex scenes and s*** with people that were like my family and my brothers.”

As for Thiessen, she told Us Weekly months later that she dealt with “a lot of different emotions” about joining 90210.
“I had a boyfriend who definitely was probably not the most secure with me being there,” Thiessen exclusively told Usin May 2024. “I also had my own insecurities about being on a job that, again, was very established. There were relationships that were super close that I wasn’t a part of. It was definitely stressful and hard. I really take pride in having people speak about my work ethic and how professional I am.”
Thiessen has since moved on with husband Brady Smith, with whom she shares Harper and son Holt. Green, for his part, shares three children with ex-wife Megan Fox, son Kassius with ex Vanessa Marcil and son Zane with fiancée Sharna Burgess.
“We’re human beings and stuff affects us,” Sophie, 50, told “Arlene is Alone” podcast host Arlene Dickinson on the Wednesday, November 12, episode, after she was asked how she deals with “the publicness of what Justin is doing,” seemingly alluding to the former Canadian prime minister’s relationship with pop singer, Perry, 41.
“How you react to stuff is your decision,” she continued. “So I choose to try to listen to the music instead of the noise.”
Sophie went on to say she’s focused on her own personal growth after separating from Justin, 53, in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
Sophie Grégoire Trudeau shared a poignant message about love and moving forward as ex-husband Justin Trudeau’s relationship with Katy Perry heats up. “Nothing we love is meant to be kept forever,” Grégoire Trudeau, 50, captioned an Instagram video on Monday, October 13. “People, places, moments — they’re all meant to be lived, not possessed.” The […]
“I’m very aware that a lot of public stuff out there can be triggers,” the motivational speaker said. “The woman I become through this is my decision.”
Sophie and Justin share three children, sons Xavier, 18, and Hadrien, 11, and daughter, Ella-Grace, 16. During her conversation with Dickinson, she said they have a solid coparenting relationship.
“I’m definitely not a single mom,” Sophie insisted. “I have a partnership with a father who has such deep love and availability to his children.”
She continued: “We have separate lives, but we have one family life. You need a common, conscious decision of, ‘Our family is our greatest creation and we’re going to feed it together, no matter if we’re on different life paths.’ It’s not always easy to live, but it’s very adult.”
At the time of their split, Justin shared a post via Instagram, which read: “Hi everyone, Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate. As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build. For the well-being of our children, we ask that you respect our and their privacy. Thank you.”

Perry, for her part, ended her engagement to actor Orlando Bloom in July after nine years together. They share a daughter, Daisy Dove, 5.
“Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,” reps for the pair confirmed in a joint statement to Us Weekly at the time. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”
The “Roar” singer and Justin were first linked in July, when they were spotted out together in Montreal. They were then seen showing PDA on a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, in early October before they celebrated Perry’s birthday in Paris later that month.
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau took their romance to the City of Light for a very special date. The former Canadian Prime Minister, 53, was filmed holding hands with the “Dark Horse” singer following a date in Paris for her 41st birthday on Saturday, October 25. Footage published by TMZ showed Perry wearing a sleek […]
Perry seemingly confirmed their romance when she told the crowd at her concert in Prague on October 30 that she’s “dating someone else.”
“Katy is really into it. She’s very happy,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly last month. “She’s trying to keep it low-key, and they’ve spent a lot of private time together. She’s not looking to publicize this relationship.”
The insider added, “Their friends think they are a good match, but he actually hasn’t met a lot of her friends yet.”
On the Monday, November 10, episode of Raw on Netflix, Nikki, 41, attacked recent ally Stephanie Vaquer, once again turning heel (wrestling parlance for a “bad guy”). The fans in Cena’s hometown of Boston brutally reacted, chanting, “John Cena left you.”
Nikki — who wrestles under the moniker Nikki Bella — shared her thoughts on the vitriol she faces online from wrestling fans during a conversation with twin sister Brie Garcia on the Thursday, November 13, episode of their “Nikki & Brie Show” podcast.
“The hate’s so gross … even some of the chants that I got [on Raw],” Nikki said, while Brie, also 41, noted that she that “didn’t like” the chants she heard.
Nikki Garcia and John Cena called off their engagement in 2018, and nearly a decade later they had a very business-like reunion — handshake and all. Garcia, 41, recalled her first time seeing Cena, 48, in “seven, eight years” during the Wednesday, June 25, episode of Honestly Cavallari: The Podcast Tour, which filmed in March. […]
“Honestly, I think [the chants] got picked up more on TV,” Nikki said. “Or I was just too in my moment that I didn’t even know, I didn’t even hear it, to tell you the truth.”
Nikki went on to say that “it’s really nice” that “people who have credibility” in wrestling, like WWE star Big E, have been singing her praises during her recent return.

“Because I know for so long, people are like, ‘I don’t want the trolls to come at me online,’ so people just never really did [defend me],” she said.
“It’s nice for these people with credibility that are speaking up. Because at the end of the day, they all know how much I love this business, how much passion I have for wrestling,” Nikki continued. “They know the work that I put in. It’s not like I come on here and always say like, ‘Oh, when I had two days free, where I didn’t have my son, I flew to Orlando just to get in the ring for five hours to fly straight back.’ You know, I don’t talk about all that stuff all the time, but the people that know that, know. I truly love this business and I want to give it my all.”
Nikki dated Cena, 48, from 2012 to 2018, when the couple ended their engagement. “While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another,” the couple told Us Weekly in an April 2018 statement. “We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.”
Nikki moved on with Dancing With the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev, with whom she shares son Matteo, 5.
From their first date to their drawn-out split in 2018, Us Weekly is revisiting John Cena and Nikki Bella’s love story. After years of friendship, the two wrestlers first sparked a romantic connection in 2012. The pair’s relationship continued to heat up as Cena popped the question in April 2017. However, less than one year later, […]
Nikki and Artem, 43, met on season 25 of Dancing With the Stars. The couple married in August 2022. However, they split two years later.
“Nikki and Artem have settled their divorce and will not be going to court,” Nikki’s rep said in a statement to Us in November 2024. “Both parties decided to drop the domestic violence restraining orders against each other in an effort to move on with their lives and effectively coparent their son.”
Before finding love with Hugh Jackman, Sutton Foster offered glimpses into her marriage of nearly a decade to Ted Griffin.
Foster was initially married to college sweetheart Christian Borle from 2006 to 2009. After her divorce from Borle, Foster was set up on a blind date with Griffin, who is a screenwriter with credits on Ocean’s Eleven, Prom and The Wolf of Wall Street.
“We plan these surprise dates for each other, and the only rule is that you can’t say no,” Foster exclusively told Us Weekly in 2019. “It’s not like, ‘OK, you have to eat a spider.’ We try to be very gentle about it.”
Foster said their “can’t say no dates” kept their romance alive, adding, “He planned a date for me once where we took a Latin jazz class at Lincoln Center. Then he took me to go listen to jazz music at Dizzy’s, which is at the Time Warner Center, and we had dinner at this fabulous place that we’d never gone to.”
The actress made rare comments about her marriage before news of their divorce broke in October 2024. Foster filed for uncontested divorce from Griffin just days before their 10th wedding anniversary.
“A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap,” an insider told Us about Jackman and Foster, who worked together on The Music Man. “They are really happy now.”
Keep scrolling to see Foster’s insight on her marriage to Griffin before their surprising split:
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness were together for more than two decades before going their separate ways. Jackman and Furness started dating shortly after they met on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli in 1995. “Deb, she was a big star,” he recalled to Jess Cagle in 2017. “I get picked up [to […]

After several years of dating, Foster and Griffin exchanged vows. Her process in picking out a wedding dress was featured on TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress.
“I knew that it made me ‘feel’ different,” she told People of the gown she chose. “I felt very confident and knew that it was the first dress I had tried on that felt ‘right.’”

Foster gushed over her “very talented” husband’s career, telling Broadway.com, “He’s like, the smartest guy I’ve ever known. He’s incredibly smart.” The actress went on to say that she loves to go to the theater and watch movies with Griffin because he showed her “classics” including Rear Window while she enjoyed more “silly” movies.
“I’m trying to bring his intelligence a little bit down,” she joked at the time.
“Where IVF was full of disappointment and heartbreak, adoption was so clearly what was meant to be for us,” she recalled after announcing the news at Lincoln Center’s American Songbook performance. “Our lives are forever changed, and our hearts are exploding.”
One year later, Foster gushed about her daughter, telling People, “I’m fascinated by Emily; she changes every day. It doesn’t matter where she came from, my belly or someone else’s belly. When she was born, I was like, ‘What took me so long?’ And I realized I was waiting for her to come into my life.”
Many celebrity splits have rocked Hollywood over the years, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin as well as Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan. Tatum and Dewan’s love story began on the set of 2006’s Step Up, where they costarred as onscreen love interests. The duo tied the knot in 2009 and welcomed daughter Everly in 2013. […]

Foster recalled not really understanding “the concept of motherhood” until she met Griffin.
“There was something about being with Ted that made me want kids,” she told People. “He belonged in my family. [I] didn’t really understand the concept of motherhood until he came around.”
2019
In Foster’s 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me interview with Us, she revealed the moment she knew Griffin was The One, adding, “I knew I was going to marry my husband when he bought me a pair of sweatpants. I still wear them and will probably keep wearing them until they turn to dust.”

Foster and Griffin’s relationship evolved after they sheltered in place amid the COVID pandemic.
“[This is] the first time that we’ve all been together for this amount of concentrated time without one of us traveling or having to leave for work every day,” she explained to People. “Especially breakfast and dinner, we’re all sitting at the table and now my daughter will ask everyone, ‘How was your day?’ We all like to sit down and talk and we’ve made it a really important part of our day that we come together as a family.”
Foster noted that her family was “trying to make the most of this time,” with her daughter “really thriving” because they were all together.
Some celebrity couples have gone the distance, but others haven’t been as lucky. 2024 kicked off with a handful of Hollywood duos calling it quits. Fans were shocked when The Bachelorette couple Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo split after four years of marriage. Us Weekly confirmed on January 2 that the chiropractor filed for divorce […]

In a personal essay for People, Foster wrote how she was “always on the fence about whether” she wanted to have children.
“I was always very career-driven, and I had such a tricky relationship growing up with my own mom. It was never clear cut for me,” she noted before reflecting on her marriage to Borle. “I married in my 30s — it didn’t last. But one thing it did give me was this little inkling that I wanted to maybe have a family.”
She continued: “When I met my husband, it was the first time that I finally went, ‘Oh, I get it. I understand why people have families.’”

“Deborra-lee was blindsided when she found out about the affair through the run of the show,” a source told Us about Jackman’s wife. “It was apparently Broadway’s worst-kept secret, and Deborra-lee was the last to know. … He didn’t own up to it.”

Foster previously reflected on her friendship with Jackman, telling Vogue two years prior, “You usually go into these things thinking, ‘Well, I hope we get along.’ But we just spent Memorial Day with our families.”
In a separate interview on Live With Kelly and Ryan, Foster recalled a “wonderful” ritual between her and Jackman. “We just talk and catch up on our day. That’s been one of the best parts of the whole thing,” she added. “That I’ve made this wonderful new friend.”
2025
In January 2025, Foster and Jackman confirmed their romance while they were photographed on a date night in Los Angeles amid her ongoing divorce from Griffin. Nine months later, Jackman and Foster made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Hollywood premiere of the actor’s film, Song Sung Blue.
Kim Kardashian is setting the record straight after ex-husband Kanye Westpreviously accused her of keeping him from seeing their kids.
During the Thursday, October 23, episode of The Kardashians, Kim, 45, addressed the misconceptions about her coparenting relationship with Kanye, 48, with whom she shares North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5.
“I feel more stressed probably just because I have to protect my kids. Everyone around can handle [the drama], but I want to protect my babies. They are going to know things. They’re going to grow up and see,” she noted. “So my job as a mom is to just make sure that at a time when that behavior is happening, is just to make sure that they are protected.”
Kim acknowledged that her children are getting to an age where they can see their father’s controversial behavior online and possible negative comments toward her, adding, “One of my kids knew what was happening. I’ve been able to hide it for so long.”
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have spoken candidly about coparenting since their February 2021 split — but it hasn’t always gone smoothly. The reality star and the rapper, who tied the knot in 2014, share four children: North (born in June 2013), Saint (born in December 2015), Chicago (born in January 2018) and Psalm (born […]
“I always felt really bad and always wanted to help. This was the first time I didn’t feel that responsibility personally,” she explained. “[People think] I should have stuck it out and I could have helped. As much as people think that I have the luxury of walking away and not dealing ever again, that’s not my reality. This person — we have four kids together.”
The former couple tied the knot in 2014 and were married for seven years before Kim filed for divorce in February 2021. The proceedings were finalized in November 2022.
“There will be all this talk on the internet about how I’m keeping the kids [from him]. He’s never once called and asked [to see them],” Kim claimed on Thursday. “But then I’ll wake up and it’s on Twitter that I’m keeping the kids. So when it’s not true and not rational, I can’t engage all the time.”
“It’s a divorce, not a kidnapping. We haven’t left. We’re in the same spot and we have the same address, so he knows where his kids are at,” she noted. “What happened to the house that you bought next door and we were going to coparent and do a back and forth where you take them to school every day?”
Another angle. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had already split when filming for The Kardashians began, but the rapper is still a big presence on the show. “Kanye and I are still going through a divorce now,” the Skims founder, 41, said during the debut episode of the Hulu series, which premieres on Thursday, April […]
She continued: “He [was going to have] dinner with us every night. Obviously, that just wasn’t what he wanted, and I get that. Maybe that’s too much. But that’s just what I saw from my mom, [Kris Jenner], and my stepdad, [Caitlyn Jenner], and my dad, [Robert Kardashian]. I just saw the best and healthiest coparenting relationships. So it is what it is.”
Kim said she wasn’t concerned with dwelling on the past, adding, “It’s over for now. So it’s like you breathe, and then you get antsy, because it’s been a little too quiet, so it’s gearing up. No, [he never apologized]. I’m not looking for it. I don’t care. It is so sad, but I can’t stress too much about that. I still have to worry about so many other things and I can’t be a mess and then have my kids see that. If they think I’m OK, then they’ll be strong too.”

The rapper previously weighed in on raising his kids with Kim shortly before finalizing their divorce.
“Even to this day, I’ll still give Kim advice on things that could help because that’s going to go to the kids,” he said on the “Alo Mind Full” podcast in September 2022. “She’s still got them 80 percent of the time, [to] raise those children. So what people saw when I was going back and forth is that I still have to be able to throw my version of what people would throw into the curriculum.”

Aaron Phypers has maintained his innocence after being accused of giving estranged wife Denise Richards a black eye, claiming in court that she “bruises easily.”
Phypers, 53, took the stand on Wednesday, October 8, telling his attorney that “yes,” it’s safe to say that Richards “bruises easily.”
His response came after he was shown a photo of Richards, 54, with a black eye from January 2022, which Phypers said he never saw until after he filed for divorce in July.
Phypers claimed he didn’t have a memory of the black eye, but did recall Richards being “bruised” around the eye at the time in question.

“She would bruise her arms, all sorts of stuff,” he alleged. “She’d bruise herself while cooking … falling down.”
When speaking about the bruises Richards sustained throughout their marriage, Phypers noted, “It may have been accidentally [done], I don’t know.”
His lawyer reminded Phypers that he only had to testify whether he witnessed Richards giving herself the bruises, to which he responded, “No. I don’t feel she was intentionally doing it.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Phypers claimed during his testimony, “I don’t abuse my wife,” when his attorney was laying out different times Richards claimed he got physical with her. His lawyer then asked about a July 4 incident, in which Phyper allegedly grabbed her arm “aggressively.” He denied the claims.

Phypers and Richards were married six years before they split earlier this year. Amid their divorce, Richards was granted a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband.
“Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack, threaten to kill me,” she alleged in her July petition, claiming he would, “Hold me down with his knee on my back to the point where I would have to plead with him to get off me so that he would not kill me and hack into my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages.”
Richards took the stand on October 8 in an effort to obtain a long-term restraining order against Phypers, claiming that he abused her while they were married. Phypers has denied all abuse allegations.

After Phypers cousin, Dr. Kathlreen McAllister, testified in court that she saw him hit Richards at his wellness center, he took the stand to defend himself. McAllister alleged earlier in the trial that Richards had a black eye from the assault.
Phypers, however, claimed on Wednesday that he did not get physical with Richards in 2022 when she reportedly received the black eye.
When asked in court on Wednesday whether he struck Richards, Phypers replied, “Absolutely not.” He also denied grabbing Richards’ hair and choking her as Richards claimed he did during another alleged incident between the exes.

During the proceedings, which Us Weekly was present for, a video Richards recorded to […]
He also denied ever threatening to kill Richards or calling her a “whore” in July. “I’ve never called her a bitch. … I’ve called her a liar yes, but a bitch no,” Phypers later testified.
Prior to her marriage to Phypers, Richards was married to Charlie Sheen. The exes, who called it quits in 2006, share daughters Sami, 21, and Lola, 20. Richards is also the mother of daughter Eloise, whom she adopted in 2011.

Aaron Phypers’ cousin Kathleen McAllister is supporting Denise Richards’ allegations of abuse.
McAllister made a virtual appearance during a Monday, October 6, court hearing focused on Richards’ request to have a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband made permanent. Per People, McAllister alleged that she witnessed her cousin assaulting Richards in January 2022. At the time, she was working in Phypers’ wellness center in Malibu.
“I saw Aaron hit Denise and immediately she had a really bad black eye,” she claimed on Monday. “I’m literally in shock now to this day about it.”
McAllister, who claimed that Phypers struck Richards with the palm of his hand, added that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum was “in shock. I was in shock.”

According to McAllister, the exes had been quarreling: Phypers, 53, accused Richards, 54, of installing “listening devices” in his office. She claimed “there was alcohol mixed in,” which heightened an “evening of chaos and arguing [that] kept escalating.”
Both Richards and Phypers appeared in a Los Angeles court Monday amid their bitter legal battle. The latter filed for divorce on July 7 after six years of marriage. Phypers demanded that Richards pay monthly spousal support, after which Richards asked for a temporary restraining order.

The Dancing with the Stars alum, 41, touched on her divorce during the Thursday, October 2 episode of the “I Do, Part 2” podcast.
While discussing celebrity divorces alongside Jen Fessler, Burke admitted her own divorce “tested” her.
However, she pointed out that her marriage breakdown wasn’t the only big change she went through that year – she also exited DWTSafter working as a pro dancer on the show for 26 seasons. In addition, she moved out of her home that she had lived in for over a decade.
Up for the challenge. Cheryl Burke is getting candid about her divorce from Matthew Lawrence, admitting it has “100 percent” tested her sobriety — but not for the reasons you might think. “It’s not like I miss the act of drinking. I don’t. I never liked the taste of it. It was just for the […]
“It wasn’t just the divorce with my ex. It was the divorce with Dancing with the Stars all in one year, and then leaving my home I lived in for sixteen years and I moved to where I am today,” Burke explained. “So it’s like, it’s just, it was all happening in one year, and those are three big life changes. They say, if you hit five in one year, you’re most likely going to check into the nearest mental institution.”
While Burke insisted that she has no regrets about how her divorce went down with Lawrence, 45, she confessed she still feels grief over it occasionally.
“To say that I haven’t or still sometimes grieve would be a lie too. I think it can be both, you know?” she said. “I know that I needed to cut off basically both divorces in order for me to be able to see what I see in the mirror and actually like the person I see.”

She went on to say while the changes appeared to happen really quickly, they were a long time coming.
“I think that though it happened quickly, this was not just quick decisions. This was stuff lingering inside of me for many, many years,” she explained.
During the podcast episode, Burke confirmed she and the Mrs Doubtfire actor had signed a prenup before tying the knot in 2019 – a topic she’s previously discussed.
Burke shared on the same podcast in October 2024 that she asked Lawrence for a prenup before tying the knot.
“It was an ultimatum. It was a full-on ultimatum,” she said. “It consisted of, like, 70 to 85 pages of lots of words and lots of fine detail and fine print. But something that my attorney suggested was to make sure I hire him an attorney as well. So that was definitely part of the deal.”

The dancer ultimately refused to get married without an agreement in place.
“It raised a lot of concerns, especially on his behalf. But there was really not much to do,” she noted. “Either we do this and we get married or we don’t. It’s pretty black and white.”
Burke and Lawrence were first romantically linked in 2007 before calling it quits a year later. They rekindled the romance in 2017 and went through with their wedding two years later. Burke filed for divorce from Lawrence in 2022. Since their split, Lawrence has moved on with TLC singer, Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.
The actress, who is now married to Cole Tucker and expecting her second child, shared that she and Efron were paired up even before casting was finalized.
Hudgens shared her memories of the audition process and said of the final callback, “There was one other girl there for Gabriella, one other guy there for Troy. We swapped, mixed and matched and yeah, that was it.”
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens found love on the set of High School Musical after he allegedly dumped his preexisting girlfriend. The origins of Efron and Hudgens’ relationship was highlighted in Ashley Spencer’s new book Disney High: The Untold Story of the Rise and Fall of Disney Channel’s Tween Empire. Spencer claimed that Efron, now […]
She admitted that she loved being paired with Efron, 37, at the time.
“Of course I was a child and paired with this boy and I was like, ‘Oh my god, he’s so cute.’ The chemistry was so real,” she said.
Hudgens and Efron’s characters, Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton, were love interests in all three movies and the chemistry ultimately turned into an off-screen romance. Away from set, Hudgens and Efron confirmed they were dating in 2007 before eventually announcing their split in 2010.
During her podcast appearance, the actress confirmed that their real-life chemistry amplified the on-screen chemistry for their characters.
“Yeah, it really does [help],” she said, adding, “Especially when you’re young and it’s all sweet and innocent.”

The podcast isn’t the first time Hudgens has touched how easily the pair clicked when they first met.
“We got lucky because we started off together, so I think people like us because they fell in love with the characters,” Hudgens told Glamour of her then-boyfriend during a June 2010 interview. “Right off the bat, we had a connection. I think everybody could see it. When we had our audition, they paired us together. And he was adorable. I mean, he wasn’t the guy that he is today. Like, he had a gap in his teeth.”
High School Musical’s love story between Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez sparked an offscreen romance for the actors who played them. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, who portrayed Troy and Gabriella in the 2006 DCOM, notably started dating shortly after filming the first movie. The pair called it quits in 2010 after five years of […]
Efron also previously noted their early chemistry in the audition rooms during an interview with Disney in 2007.

“For all of the partner things, me and Vanessa always got paired up,” Efron said at the time. “I was like, ‘They’re not trying us with other people.’ For some reason, we kept sticking around [for callbacks]. I don’t know what it was with Vanessa, but we kind of clicked from the very beginning.”
Although it’s been over a decade since the former couple called it quits, Hudgens has always appeared to be grateful for her romance with Efron in that phase of her life.
“I could not have been more grateful to have that relationship at the time … It was this massive phenomenon and [all] eyes were on me,” Hudgens said during an April 2019 appearance on the “Always Chatter” podcast. “And it’s just a really weird foreign thing to go through, and by being in a relationship, it kind of kept me stabilized and grounded, and I had someone to lean on who was going through it as well.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger made a joke about his ex-wife, Maria Shriver, while honoring journalist Chris Wallace at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Thursday, September 18.
Schwarzenegger, 78, feted Wallace, 77, during Thursday’s event, describing him as a “fantastic journalist.”
“I know a lot about journalists. I’ve been interviewed — you can imagine, in my lifetime — by thousands and thousands of journalists,” he said. “But not only that, I was also married to a journalist.”
The Terminator actor went on to quip, “The only difference between Chris and Maria is that Chris has never taken half [of] my money,” which prompted chuckles from the audience.
For nearly 25 years, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver were a Hollywood and political power couple. The Terminator star and the journalist tied the knot in April 1986, nearly nine years after they first met at a tennis tournament. After welcoming four children together, the pair announced their split in May 2011 amid reports of infidelity. (Schwarzenegger […]
Schwarzenegger and Shriver, 69, were married for nearly 25 years and have four children together: Katherine, 35, Christina, 34, The White Lotus actor Patrick, 32, and Christopher, 27.
The couple tied the knot in April 1986 before separating in May 2011 amid reports of Schwarzenegger’s infidelity. Schwarzenegger later admitted to fathering a son, Joseph Baena, with the family’s former housekeeper Mildred “Patty” Baena. Their divorce was finalized in December 2021, a decade after their split.
According to a court filing obtained by Us Weekly in June 2022, as part of their settlement agreement, Shriver is entitled to half of Schwarzenegger’s earnings, including his pension, from the time they got married to when she filed for divorce.
Schwarzenegger said that despite their split, “She and I are really good friends and very close.”
“We are very proud of the way we raised our kids,” he added. “Even though we had this drama, we did Easter together, Mother’s Day together, the Christmases together, all birthdays — everything together.”
“If there’s Oscars for how to handle divorce, Maria and I should get it for having the least amount of impact on the kids,” the former governor of California said.

Shriver, meanwhile, opened up about her devastation over Schwarzenegger’s affair in her memoir I Am Maria, published in April.
Arnold Schwarzenegger played many roles throughout his impressive career. Schwarzenegger was born in Thal, Austria in July 1947 as the son of a police officer. In 1968, the body builder moved to the United States to train at Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles. Throughout his impressive bodybuilding career, he won seven first-place titles at the […]
“I was consumed with grief and wracked with confusion, anger, fear, sadness and anxiety. I was unsure now of who I was, where I belonged. Honestly, it was brutal, and I was terrified,” Shriver wrote, noting that news of the affair broke soon after the deaths of both of her parents.
“As I sat on my hotel room floor in the dark, alone with tears streaming down my face, I thought to myself: Maria, this doesn’t have to be the end of you,” she added.
Stiller and Taylor met while filming a 1999 TV pilot called Heat Vision and Jack, which never made it to air, and got married the following year. The couple were together for 17 years before announcing their separation in May 2017. However, it appeared they reconciled by 2019 when attending Emmy Awards together that year looking “happy” and never leaving “each others’ sides,” an eyewitness told Us Weekly at the time.
Taylor and Stiller remained tight-lipped about their relationship status in recent years. She notably dodged a question about whether they were officially back together in October 2018, exclusively telling Us at the time, “We’re a big family. We’re together all the time.” When pressed about her seemingly “nice” post-split relationship with Stiller, the Search Party star responded, “It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful.”

The pair continued to work together and have kept a low profile while coparenting their kids — Ella and Quinn. In February 2022, however, they confirmed they are back on.
Keep scrolling to look back at their relationship timeline:
In an interview with Page Six published Tuesday, September 2, Hall, 44, admitted he’d hoped the pair’s divorce could be settled out of the public eye. “I didn’t want to have a public feud and have a back and forth publicly,” he explained.
Hall added that he feels he needs to tell his side of the story. “Now I need to have something to say because, unfortunately, people have only read what she says,” he continued, a reference to Haack’s social media posts on the subject.
Of those messages, Hall said, “I thought it lacked class, to be honest.”
He later added, “But I thought it was unnecessary … obviously don’t drag a divorce out there. It’s immature. Let’s share some stuff, but the behaving like a pissed off teenager on social media is just not something I’m going to do.”
Christina Haack has vividly criticized a recent statement issued by a representative for Josh Hall. Haack, 41, who split from Hall, 44, in July 2024, posted her thoughts on the statement — recently obtained from a representative for Hall and published by Us Weekly — via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, January 14. The statement, […]
Hall and Haack, 42, married in April 2022 after one year of dating. Though the pair went public with their relationship in July 2021, Haack later admitted they’d been dating for longer than that.
“I met Josh when I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight. … The synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore,” she shared via Instagram at the time. “We’ve had a few solid months of just us getting to know each other and I’ve loved every second of it.”
The duo announced their divorce two years later in July 2024 when Haack filed for a dissolution of marriage.
The Flip Off host reflected on working with Hall while speaking exclusively to Us in January 2025. “It’s much easier to film with someone when you don’t have to go home with them. It’s not usually a good idea to film with a spouse,” she said of filming the series with Hall as well as with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa.

She continued, “Josh was very hard to film with. He didn’t get it. He’d always get upset with me, like, ‘Oh, my gosh, you did this’ or ‘You did that.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m making a TV show.’ Ultimately, it was better that he left after episode one because the show would’ve sucked.”

Haack also made it clear that canceling the show after the pair’s split was never on the table. “This isn’t Josh’s show. No one’s going to miss that he’s not in it,” she added. “Josh is not a TV host, he’s not a house flipper, he’s not a designer. He was just my husband in it. With Tarek, we built everything together, and I still have respect for him. I have no respect for Josh.”
Haack and Tarek, 44, were married from April 2009 to December 2016 and share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 10. She married ex-husband Ant Anstead in December 2018, and the pair finalized their divorce in June 2021. Haack and Anstead, 46, are parents to son Hudson, 5.
Nick Agro/Warner Bros. Discovery Christina Haack was free to say whatever she wanted about estranged husband Josh Hall after his exit from The Flip Off. Before the HGTV series premiered, Christina got her start on Flip or Flop with then-husband Tarek El Moussa. The former couple worked on the show during their marriage — which […]
In the same month, Haack took to her Instagram Stories to explain she was “energy cutting” amidst the divorce drama. The pair’s divorce settlement revealed Hall departed the marriage with a home in Tennessee, a condo in Tennessee and land in California, as well as furniture, a 2021 Bentley, a 1970 Chevelle, a 1982 DeLorean, a 1947 Dodge and a Hondo Motorcycle. Haack retained her home in California, multiple homes in Tennessee, and her business, as well as two 2021 GMC Yukons, a 2021 Polaris Razor and four quads. Both parties waived their right to spousal support, and Hall received a one-time payment of $300,000.
In photos published by multiple outlets including TMZand Page Six on Friday, August 29, the former couple were photographed boarding a Southwest Airlines flight from Burbank to Las Vegas.
Photos showed Simpson and Johnson, both 45, sitting in the same row during the flight with a middle seat left empty between them. Their kids did not appear to be traveling with their parents for the trip. (Simpson and Johnson share Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 6.)
Once they touched down in Sin City, the pair remained tight-lipped on their current relationship status when asked by a TMZ reporter but indicated they were in town to see the Newlywed alum’s sister Ashlee perform. Ashlee is due to take the stage at Voltaire at the Venetian Resort on Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30.
Jessica Simpson announced she and her husband, Eric Johnson, have called it quits after 10 years of marriage. “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson told Us Weekly in a statement on Monday, January 13. “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best […]
The trip comes less than a year after Simpson announced her separation from Johnson after 10 years of marriage.
“Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” Simpson told Us Weekly in a statement on January 13. “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

A source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month that Simpson had been enjoying “a new sense of confidence and is coming back into her own” following the break-up.
“She’s doing well since the split,” the insider previously told Us. “She’s a different person since she’s been out of the relationship.”
According to the source, Simpson’s 10-year marriage had been “holding her down,” and she “wasn’t happy for a long time” due to “trust and communication issues” that “just got bigger.”

In February 2025, Simpson confirmed to People she and Johnson were on good terms despite going their separate ways.
“I don’t know why my heart gets tossed around, but I’m one of the lucky ones,” she told the outlet. “At least I have my children and I still have Eric. He’s still very much a part of my life and will always be.”
Simpson and Johnson met in May 2010 and the former NFL player popped the question just six months later. The pair tied the knot in July 2014 in front of friends and family in Montecito, California.
Lautner, 33, reshared a Tuesday, August 26, post from the NFL’s official Instagram account that featured Swift and Kelce’s engagement photo and a photo of them after the Chiefs won the 2024 Super Bowl.
“I cannot believe this is really happening,” the post read, which is a quote from Swift, 35, on the field with Kelce, also 35, following the big game. The NFL added, “Same.”
Swift announced on Tuesday that she and Kelce are engaged after two years of dating.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the caption read.
Swift and Lautner dated briefly back in 2009 after connecting on the set of the film Valentine’s Day. She later wrote the song “Back to December,” which was on her Speak Now album, about their romance. Despite their breakup, Swift and Lautner have remained friendly over the years.
In July 2023, Lautner made a cameo in Swift’s music video for “I Can See You,” a bonus track from the re-release of Speak Now, alongside Joey King and Presley Cash. During Swift’s concert in Kansas City, Swift brought Lautner, King and Cash on stage to celebrate the video’s premiere. Swift gushed about how Lautner impacted her life.
“He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the Speak Now album, and I want to say he did every single stunt that you saw in that music video,” she told the crowd at the time. “He and his wife [Taylor Dome] have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name.”
Lautner added, “I respect you so much. Not just for the singer you are, the songwriter, the performer — but truly for the human you are. You are gracious, humble, kind and I’m honored to know you.”
Taylor Lautner is proving once again that there’s no bad blood with his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift. On Monday, August 19, the Twilight actor and his wife, Tay Lautner, headed to Wembley Stadium in London to attend another one of Swift’s Eras Tour shows. As documented on social media, the Lautners packed their friendship bracelets and […]
Swift and Kelce started dating that same summer. The couple’s love story began after the football player revealed on his “New Heights” podcast that he made a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it but didn’t get a chance to give it to her at the Kansas City concert. After hearing about his grand gesture, Swift connected with Kelce. The pair confirmed their relationship after Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game that September.
When Swift and Kelce’s love story began to take the world by storm, Lautner expressed his support for the couple.
“I’m excited for her. They seem like they’re incredibly happy,” the actor told Extra in a November 2023 interview. “As long as she’s happy, I’m happy. She’s crushing it in every aspect of her life right now.”
