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.
Stylist Hannah Harrison is addressing online speculation that she is dating Mossimo Giannulli just one day after he and wife Lori Loughlin confirmed their separation.
Us Weekly can exclusively confirm that Harrison was the mystery woman seen out with Giannulli, 62, earlier this week in Beverly Hills, but the 32-year-old stylist exclusively tells Us Weekly that their relationship is strictly platonic.
“I feel like it was bad timing. I went to the [G/FORE Supply] store not knowing that his separation had been announced,” she exclusively tells Us in a Friday, October 3, statement, noting, “I was going there to meet him.”
Harrison explained that she was there to work when photographers snapped pictures of her and Loughlin’s ex. “He was introducing me to the guys there so I could pull clothes [for Giannulli’s brand G/FORE].”
Before they made headlines for their involvement in a nationwide college admissions scam, Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, kept their private life largely out of the spotlight. After more than 20 years of marriage, the Full House alum and the fashion designer came under fire for their part in the scandal that saw […]
“I was there shopping and as I was leaving I saw the photographers,” she adds, clarifying, “We did not drive together. We drove separately.”
Harrison shut down rumors the pair are romantically involved, telling Us, “We were not there together [and] we are not dating. We are good friends. He was just meeting me at the store.”
Us learned from another source that Giannulli and Harrison are not an item in the wake of the designer’s separation from Loughlin, 61, which was announced publicly earlier this week. “She is just friends with him,” the insider echoed of Harrison. “She is a stylist. She was pulling items from his studio yesterday.”
The Daily Mail originally published photos taken of the fashion designer and the stylist in Beverly Hills on Thursday, October 2. Harrison wore a black sweater and a yellow miniskirt, while Giannulli was also dressed casually in a white shirt and belted Levi’s blue jeans.
The two were snapped carrying shopping bags as they waited at the valet stand at trendy clothing retailer G/FORE Supply, before leaving together in a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon.
As noted via her Instagram, Harrison is an “LA based stylist” and owner of the cruelty-free and vegan cosmetic brand TYS Beauty. She has previously worked on notable campaigns for the ESPY Awards, the Los Angeles Lakers, Ralph Lauren and Gatorade. She was previously linked romantically to NBA star Devin Booker.
“They are living apart now,” her spokesperson told Us. “There are no legal proceedings underway.”
Photos later emerged of Loughlin having dinner with actor James Tupper at The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood on Wednesday, October 1 — mere hours before her separation from Giannulli was announced.
However, Loughlin’s rep quickly clarified to Us that the actress was simply catching up with a longtime friend and former costar. (Loughlin and Tupper starred together in Great American Family’s A Christmas Blessing and Fall Into Winter.)
“Lori and James have worked together and are old friends,” her rep confirmed to Us.
Loughlin and Giannulli have been married since 1997 and share two daughters: influencers Isabella Rose, 27, and Olivia Jade Giannulli, 26. They were each married once before — Mossimo shares a son, Gianni, 35, with ex-wife Chris, while Loughlin was with investment banker and eventual Lionsgate vice chairman Michael R. Burns from 1989 to 1996.
Don’t place your bets on Glen Powell and Olivia Jade Giannulli becoming Hollywood’s hot new couple. “They are close friends and are not dating,” a source close to Giannulli, 25, exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Monday, September 8. “They have been friends for several years.” According to the source, the two stars met due […]
The couple had endured the 2019 college admissions scandal and their respective jail sentences prior to their separation. (Both pled guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud for falsifying college admissions documents. Loughlin was sentenced two months behind bars, while Giannulli received five months behind bars and was ordered to pay a $250,000 fine.)
Loughlin has rarely spoken publicly about her family since the scandal, though she did briefly address their hardships during a FIRST for Women interview in 2024.

“Every day, we’re met with different obstacles. But, for me, it’s like that song says, ‘I get knocked down, but I get up again,’” Loughlin said. “Nobody said life was going to be a breeze; we all make mistakes, but the important thing is to persevere.”
Loughlin said that she was most passionate about “my family and my children,” in addition to offering an upbeat response when asked to describe herself now.
“I’m kind and I’m strong,” she said. “And open — open to life, open to experiences. And I’m grateful. So I’d say I’m strong, grateful, open and kind.”
Taylor Swift made her first talk show appearance since the release of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl — and casually referred to Travis Kelce using a new term.
The pop superstar, 35, stopped by The Graham Norton Show on Friday, October 3, to discuss her 12th record just hours after it dropped. She once again confirmed that “Opalite” is a popular track among her loved ones, saying, “‘Opalite’ is [my dad] Scott’s favorite. It’s my fiancé’s favorite too.”
Swift also discussed how working on The Life of a Showgirl during The Eras Tour helped her “not ever hit a wall” because she had a “secret passion project” to return to at night. The tour, meanwhile, boosted her vocal skills.
“I think I could sort of do anything while running in heels,” she explained. “It’s given me the confidence to write higher choruses and jump the octave … not pause for 35 seconds.”
Swift went on to hint that fans will find Easter eggs in the different vinyl variants she’s been dropping for the past few weeks. “There’s also a poem on the inside, and there’s different poems on each variant,” she explained before stopping herself from going farther. “No, I’m not gonna tell about that — they’ll figure that out.”
When asked whether the wedding will be next year, Swift replied, “Oh, you’ll know,” before clarifying that she meant she plans to invite Norton, 62.

“I know it’s gonna be fun to plan, because I think the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount [of room] and people are on the bubble and you have to evaluate or assess your relationship with them to see if they should be there. I’m not gonna do that,” she explained before joking, “I shouldn’t have said any of that.”
This marks Swift’s return to The Graham Norton Show after most recently appearing on the BBC talk show in October 2022 to promote Midnights. She made her debut on the British series in February 2013 and later came back in October 2014 and May 2019.
Earlier on Friday, Swift released her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, featuring 12 new songs.
When Swift announced the record during her “New Heights” debut in August, she revealed that she made The Life of a Showgirl with producers Max Martin and Shellback while on the European leg of her Eras Tour in 2024.
“I’d do, like, three shows in a row, I’d have three days off, I’d fly to Sweden, go back to the tour,” she explained. “I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating.”
Of her inspiration, she added, “This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant.”
In addition to her Graham Norton Show appearance, Swift celebrated The Life of a Showgirl with a release party event held in movie theaters on Friday, Saturday, October 4, and Sunday, October 5. The film featured the premiere of the “Fate of Ophelia” music video, lyric videos for the other 11 songs and behind-the-scenes insight on the album from Swift.
Ahead of The Life of a Showgirl’s release, Swift confirmed her engagement to Kelce, 35, on August 26 after two years of dating.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” she captioned Instagram photos from the proposal at the time.
Outside of her social media post, Swift had yet to publicly comment on her engagement before Friday. However, Kelce, 35, gushed about the milestone on several occasions.
“I appreciate everybody that reached out and sent something and all the posts and all the excitement that’s been going on,” he said during the September 3 episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. “It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with.”

Later that month, Travis shared his heartfelt reaction to popping the question.
“I’m an emotional guy, so there were a few tears here and there,” he told Erin Andrews in a September 14 interview. “But it’s been an exciting, exciting ride up to this day. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.”
Travis also praised Swift for her positive influence on his life, noting that she’s “brought excitement and a joy for life that made me a better man, made me a better person and made me just that much more comfortable than who I am.”
Taylor Swift was pleasantly surprised when her fiancé, Travis Kelce, popped the question with a one-of-a-kind engagement ring.
“He designed it with this amazing jeweler, Kindred Lubeck,” Swift, 35, said in a Friday, October 3, interview with the U.K.’s Heart radio station. “She does all of her gold engraving by hand.”
According to Swift, she was the one who introduced Kelce, 35, to the jeweler.
“I had shown him a video [that] I just thought was so cool,” she told hosts Emma Bunton and Jamie Theakston. “I had shown him a video a year and a half ago, and he was just paying attention to everything, it turns out!”
Kelce proposed to Swift in August with an old mine brilliant cut diamond set on a gold band with smaller stones and a thin bezel.
“When I saw the ring, I was just, like, [gasping],” she quipped on Friday. “I was like, ‘I know who made that! I know who made that! And also, you listen to me.’ He did amazing, it was, like, ‘You really know me.’”
Swift added, “I didn’t know what I would want, but he did somehow, and that’s kind of a flex.”
As Swift promoted The Life of a Showgirl on Friday, she also gave Heart listeners a glimpse of her and Kelce’s wedding planning journey.

“You would think that I had been the type of person who would have been obsessed over the idea of a wedding my whole life, but I actually never thought about what I would do or what I would want until I met the person,” she said. “So, I haven’t actually even thought about that [or] doing a [bachelorette party] or whatever.”
Swift further stressed that she and Kelce “haven’t even really started” planning their wedding while she’s in her Showgirl era. (Swift recorded the album during the European leg of her Eras Tour in 2024.)
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wildest dreams are coming true. In a joint social media post, the Grammy winner and Super Bowl champion, both 35, announced they are engaged after two years of dating. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” Swift wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, August 26, with photos […]
“We’re taking baby steps,” she said on Friday. “We’re putting one foot in front of the other. I love this era [and] I love this theme of this album. It’s so fun to play with. I want to make more music videos, like, I actually have time to do stuff like that. We can’t move on [because] I’m having too much fun with this. I mean, I just got engaged. These things just happened to me.”
That being said, Swift can’t wait to marry Kelce.
“I’m really excited, too,” she gushed. “He’s the most fun person [and] he’s such a natural in life, like, he’s never been nervous about anything in his entire life. It’s pretty fun, He’s all the things — he’s fun and vibrant and has this infectious personality [and] makes me laugh so much.”

Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, even served as the muse for many tracks on The Life of a Showgirl.
“There’s a line in [one of the] songs that says, ‘You just wanted a best friend who you think is hot,’” Swift said of “Wi$h Li$t,” which was the last track she wrote for Showgirl. “Well, that’s kind of it.”
While the pair have been active on Instagram promoting their latest respective business ventures, they haven’t shared pictures together since spring. Kidman, 58, last posted about Urban, 57, in June, while the country singer hasn’t talked about his spouse on social media since May.
The time lapse between cozy snaps initially didn’t raise eyebrows, but after a source confirmed to Us Weekly on Monday, September 29, that Kidman and Urban have separated, some eagle-eyed fans think it was a sign they were headed for a divorce.
“I wanna thank the ACM Academy for this, and my wife, Nicole Mary, is here tonight,” Urban started his speech. “I love you, baby girl. Our girls, Sunday and Faith, watching at home tonight, I love you both too.”
The following day, Urban relived the big night via Instagram, sharing several photos with his followers. The first image was a boomerang with Kidman as they got cozy in a car and smiled with the trophy.
“TRIPLE CROWN !!! it was a surreal feeling and truly humbling honor to be recognized at the @acmawards last night,” the singer captioned the upload. “And a triple-sized, massive thank you to @megmoroney, @chrisstapleton, and @brothersosborne for your insanely inspired performances last night during the show. I LOVED every second of it!!”
The following month, Kidman shared her last photo of the couple pre-split in honor of their 19th wedding anniversary.
“Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban,” the Big Little Lies alum captioned the Instagram snap, which was a black and white photo of the couple backstage at one of Urban’s shows.
In the lovey-dovey picture, Kidman hugged her husband and closed her eyes. Urban, for his part, held on tight to his wife’s arm as it rested on his shoulder.
That same month, Kidman and Urban attended their last public event together prior to taking time apart. The duo were photographed at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 game in Nashville on June 20.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are both natives of the land down under, but the couple met and fell in love on the other side of the world. Kidman and Urban first crossed paths at the G’Day USA Gala — an event honoring Australians in Los Angeles — in 2005. Kidman was immediately smitten with […]
The actress wore a white summer dress while Urban rocked jeans and a flannel shirt.

Kidman has since posted photos of her summer adventures, which included images of their two daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14, as well as filming Practical Magic 2 with Sandra Bullock. (Kidman also shares daughter Isabella, 32, and son Connor, 30, with ex-husband Tom Cruise. The pair were married 10 years and adopted their two children before divorcing in February 2001.)
Urban, meanwhile, has packed his social media accounts with highlights from his latest tour, including stops in Australia and Canada, with Kidman nowhere in sight.
Neither Kidman nor Urban have publicly addressed their divorce. Us Weekly has reached out to reps for the actress and singer for comment.
Kieran Culkin’s wife, Jazz Charton, is pregnant with the couple’s third child.
Stepping out for opening night of the Broadway production of Waiting for Godot in New York City on Sunday, September 28, Culkin, 42, held a loving hand on Charton’s belly as the couple smiled for photos published by People that night.
Charton, 37, opted for a figure-hugging cream dress while the Succession actor sported a sweater and dark pants.
The couple’s baby news comes six months after Culkin publicly requested more children while on stage accepting the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his performance in the film A Real Pain. “Let’s get cracking on those kids, what do you say? I love you,” Culkin directed at his wife during his speech.
While Kieran Culkin has achieved a lot in his career he and wife Jazz Charton still maintain their humble mindset. “[They] are such a fun, affectionate and completely down-to-earth couple,” a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. “Just [a few] years ago, they’d be on their couch in NYC eating takeout, […]
The couple, who married in June 2013, share two children: daughter Kinsey, born in September 2019, and son Wilder, born in August 2021.

Culkin’s Oscars declaration began by revisiting a previous public request to grow the couple’s family. “Please don’t play the music, because I want to tell a really quick story about Jazz,” the actor said. “A year ago, I said that I want a third kid — because she said if I won the [Emmy] award [for Succession], she would give me the kid. Turns out she said that because she didn’t think I was going to win.”
As the audience laughed, Culkin continued, “People came up to me and were like, you know … it got to her. After the show, we’re walking through a parking lot, she’s holding the Emmy, she goes, ‘Oh, god, I did say that. I guess I owe you a third kid.’ I turned to her, I said, ‘Really, I want four. And she turned to me, I swear to God this happened, she said, ‘I will give you four when you win an Oscar.’ I held my hand out, she shook it and I have not brought it up once until just now.”

The actor then turned to face Charton in the crowd to offer his plea. “You remember that, honey? Then I just have to say to you, Jazz, love of my life, ye of little faith, no pressure,” he said. “I love you. I’m really sorry I did this again.”
Culkin met Charton in a New York bar in 2012, with the child star recalling their initial interaction during a 2021 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I said, ‘I’m Kieran. You have an English accent. What’s your name?’” Culkin told the outlet at the time. “She said, ‘I’m Jazz.’ I said, ‘J-A-Z-Z, like the music?’ And she said, ‘Yeah.’ And I said, ‘Well, that’s f***ing stupid.’”
The duo married one year later, in June 2012, while road tripping together in Iowa.
Several stars are taking the next step in their relationship in 2025 by making things official with their significant other.
Days after the New Year, Zendaya sparked engagement speculation when she was spotted on the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet with a ring on her left hand. While inside the awards show ceremony on January 5, the Challengers star continued to wear the jewelry as she posed for pictures — despite taking off her Bulgari necklace.
Rumors were further fueled when the Los Angeles Times reported that Zendaya “kept showing her ring, smiled coyly and shrugged her shoulders mysteriously” after being asked about her relationship status with Tom Holland. (The actor did not attend the awards show.)

One day later, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that Holland had popped the question to Zendaya years after meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016.
“I married a real-life Disney princess,” Blanco, 37, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, September 28, one day after marrying Gomez, 33, in a star-studded ceremony.
Gomez responded to her husband’s caption, writing in the comment section, “I love you soooo much 🤍.”
Blanco uploaded a handful of post-wedding selfies, including one where he cuddled Gomez in bed the next morning. In the other pics, the newlyweds showed off their ceremony attire.
Benny Blanco had an adorable first comment about his and new bride Selena Gomez’s star-studded wedding on Saturday, September 27. The Only Murders in the Building actress, 33, confirmed via Instagram that the couple tied the knot on Saturday in Santa Barbara, California. A gorgeous carousel of wedding photos revealed Gomez’s sleeveless white dress and […]
While Blanco chose a classic black tux, his bride went all-out in a custom lace Ralph Lauren halter-neck gown. Gomez accessorized her ensemble with jewelry from Tiffany & Co. and a lengthy tulle veil.
For glam, Gomez wore her tresses in an Old Hollywood-style wavy bob that was styled by Joico hair artist Renato Campora.
“In preparing Selena Gomez’s hair for a celebration of joy, unity, and love, every detail had to be perfect,” Campora said in a press release shared with Us Weekly. “The final result [was] a flawless, timeless [and] healthy-looking Hollywood Glamour Marcel Wave Bob for a day that celebrates love, beauty and perfection.”

Gomez and Blanco were joined by many of their loved ones for the occasion.
“What a perfect celebration for the most kickass couple I know! The evening couldn’t have been more beautiful and perfect! Absolutely flawless,” Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, wrote via Instagram on Sunday. “All my love to my beautiful daughter @selenagomez and to the greatest son-in-law @itsbennyblanco!!!”
She added, “It was a fairy tale come true and it was beyond heartwarming watching my father walk her down the aisle!!!”
Several of the pair’s celebrity friends were also in attendance, including Taylor Swift. Gomez and Swift, 35, have been tight since the early 2000s after meeting through their then-boyfriends Nick and Joe Jonas.
Selena Gomez and her husband, producer Benny Blanco, officially tied the knot in September 2025, after getting engaged the previous December. “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” the “Wolves” singer wrote in an Instagram comment at the time. “He has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” Hints of the couple’s […]
“The best thing we got out of those relationships was each other,” Gomez quipped on the “Therapuss” podcast last month.
Neither of the women’s relationships with the Jonas Brothers musicians lasted longer than a few months. Swift is now engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce, while Gomez and Blanco started dating in 2023. The record producer proposed to Gomez in December 2024 with a stunning marquise diamond ring.

“It was the sickest surprise that she had no idea about and it couldn’t have come at a better time because I was starting to f*** up,” Blanco told Interview magazine in a March profile. “The thing that makes me so crazy is, you’re getting engaged, and right before, they’re like, ‘Show me how good of a liar you are. Sneak around and try to do this perfect thing without me knowing.’ At the end, she was starting to get upset because she was like, ‘Why aren’t you coming home tonight?’ And I was like, “Oh, I’m just at my friends’.” I almost did it early. But I nailed it, I think.”

Gomez chimed in at the time, noting that Blanca’s proposal was “really sweet” and that he said “the right things” in his speech.
“I remember before I was with her, I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to stop everything I’m doing and just focus all my energy on being a grownup and being with the right person.’ Now I worship the ground she walks on,” Blanco added during the interview. “I feel like she’s the same way to me. There’s no ego between us. She’s praying for me to win and I’m praying for her to win. And I wake up in the morning — I know she does the same thing — and I’m like, ‘How can I make her life better?’”
“[People say], ‘Girl, your man is so hot now that he’s lost all that weight,’” the influencer, 45, began in a TikTok video on Saturday, September 27. “Is he? Because he’s always had the same face. He’s always had the same heart. He’s always had the same soul.”
She went on, “I think the most appropriate thing here to say is that he looks so much healthier now that he has lost weight.”
Bunnie Xo (real name Alyssa DeFord) encouraged her followers to “stop living in a Shallow Hall world,” referencing the 2001 movie starring Jack Black as a sexist man who was put under a spell to only see women’s inner-beauty.
“You know what? You might miss out on the best love of your life by judging somebody by their weight,” she concluded.
In an August TikTok video, Bunnie Xo supported her husband by playfully body-slamming the musician (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) against a wall to test out his weight loss.
“When you have to check and make sure he’s still your squish after all the weight loss,” Bunnie wrote over the clip and added the sweet caption, “Bestie #jellyandbunnie.”
Jelly Roll, 40, addressed his weight loss journey in April, revealing that he’d “started at 540 pounds” and was at “357 pounds [as of] this morning.”
“I’m gonna lose another 100 pounds,” he told host Pat McAfee during the Big Night AHT live show.

He previously told People in April 2024 that his fitness regiment included walking “three miles a day, four to six days a week,” plus “20 to 30 minutes in the sauna” and “6 minutes in the cold plunge.”
“If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I’m going to feel like by the time I go on tour,” he said at the time.
Meanwhile, Bunnie Xo opened up on her “Dumb Blonde” podcast in August about why she hasn’t made many public appearances with her husband recently.
“Someone said the other day, ‘They used to always be together, and now you never see them together,’” the podcast host told listeners. “I’m like, ‘Do you guys not know that for the past six months [that] I’ve been trying to make a baby?’”
She pointed out that Jelly Roll has to “work to f***ing bring home the bacon” — which often involves touring and recording all across the world — while she has the “luxury of working from home.”

“He doesn’t [have that luxury],” she added. “He has to make appearances, but I literally have been on IVF meds for f***ing six months and going through heartbreak and f***ing so much s*** … That’s why you haven’t seen me [because] mama’s about to pop out. I gotta remind them. I might even do a sexy photoshoot and piss off all the f***ing [haters].”
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo have been married since 2016. The Grammy Award nominee is also a father of two children from previous relationships.
The “Save Me” artist has had a whirlwind month, having performed with tourmate Post Malone at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards via satellite from Hanover, Germany, on September 7 and then meeting Pope Leo XIV ahead of a Vatican City concert on September 13.
Selena Gomez is officially married to Benny Blanco after more than one year of dating — and the couple have a lot in common.
Gomez revealed via Instagram on September 27, 2025 ,that she tied the knot with the record producer in Santa Barbara, California. Us Weekly exclusively learned that some of the couple’s closest friends — including Gomez’ Only Murders in the Building costars Steve Martin and Martin Short, Paris Hilton and Ashley Park — were in attendance for two days of festivities.
Just like Gomez, 32, Blanco, 36, has a string of hit songs to his name including Kesha’s “Tik Tok” and Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” making him and the Golden Globe nominee a match made in musical heaven.
“Forever begins now,” Gomez captioned an Instagram post on Wednesday, December 11, that showed off her engagement ring. Blanco celebrated the milestone moment, writing in the comments section, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
Gomez first confirmed her relationship with Blanco in December 2023, revealing that they had been together for “six months.”
Selena Gomez’s high-profile relationships have made headlines over the years, from her off-and-on romance with Justin Bieber to her brief relationship with The Weeknd. “I’m the kind of girl that loves tremendously big. I just have always been that girl,” Gomez told Miami’s Power 96.5 FM in May 2017. “I will give my heart and […]
“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she wrote in an Instagram comment at the time. “He [has] been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end. … He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with. Facts.”
Now, as they get set to walk down the aisle and become one of Hollywood’s next power couples, here’s what you need to know about Benny Blanco:
He Was Mentored by Dr. Luke
Blanco was mentored by prolific pop music producer Dr. Luke, who has produced hits for the likes of Katy Perry, Kesha, Kelly Clarkson, Pink and Britney Spears. With Luke, Blanco coproduced and cowrote Perry’s hit song “Teenage Dream” and Kesha’s “Tik Tok.”
Blanco has worked with A-listers including Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, Kesha, Britney Spears, Rihanna and Kanye West. Blanco’s résumé also includes tracks with two of Gomez’s exes: Justin Bieber and The Weeknd.
Blanco and Gomez first crossed paths in 2015, collaborating on her songs “Same Old Love” and “Kill Em With Kindness.” After reuniting on “I Can’t Get Enough” four years later, Blanco worked with Gomez again in 2023. He assisted in the production of her pop music return, “Single Soon.”

He Originally Wanted to Be a Rapper
Born Benjamin Joseph Levin, Blanco always wanted to be involved in the music industry and initially had his sights set on being a rapper. He told The New York Times in 2018 that he later switched to production when he realized “no one cares what a chubby Jewish kid from Virginia thinks.”
“I wouldn’t consider myself anything. I think I’m a loser,” Blanco confessed of his career to NME in April 2021. “I don’t think there’s any world where I’d say, ‘Yeah, man, I’m a hitmaker.’ I’m the guy who comes in and tries to approach music from a place of true feeling and emotion and really giving it my all because if I’m not, then what am I doing in life?”
Blanco explained that he tries to make music that “doesn’t sound like what’s being played” on the radio but instead fits each individual artist.
He Ran 2 Record Labels
In addition to producing and writing songs, Blanco was the head of two record labels under the Interscope Records banner. His labels, Mad Love Records and Friends Keep Secrets, were once home to Tory Lanez, Cashmere Cat and Jessie Ware.
“Benny Blanco, he works in really amazing short bursts. I’d be like this militant [person] — ‘We should be really in the studio because it’s 12 o’clock?!’ He’d be like, ‘Chiiiiilll, let’s go to the shop,’” Ware said of working with Blanco in a 2014 interview with Grantland. “I was getting frustrated, and then I realize this is the way he worked, and it made him work much more brilliantly.”
Earlier this year, Blanco released his own cookbook, Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friends, in which he shares some of his favorite recipes and how to throw a killer dinner party.
The book even has Gomez’s stamp of approval. “So proud of @itsbennyblanco – Open Wide is out now!!” she shared via Instagram in May.

He’s Been Open About His Mental Health
During an interview with Howard Stern in May, Blanco opened up about his struggles with anxiety. “I kept it to myself. I was like, ‘Of course, the room spins when you’re about to take a test when you’re 12,’” he said.

“I started doing [cognitive behavioral therapy]. It was very important to me to get this toolbox. Whenever I was having anxious thoughts, I could reach into this little toolbox and help myself get over it. I’ve helped so many artists and people do that,” he continued.
“I struggle with anxiety, I struggle with impostor syndrome, I struggle with all these things,” he added.
Blanco’s wife has also been open about her mental health struggles, including in her Apple TV+ documentary, Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me.
Jake Knapp has broken his silence after his girlfriend Makena White died at age 28.
The professional golfer told Peoplevia a statement on Friday, September 28 that her death was a “tough reality to comprehend” as he paid tribute to his late girlfriend.
“Makena was such a thoughtful person whose selflessness toward others is something I will always appreciate,” Knapp, 31, wrote via the statement. “We shared so many unforgettable memories together and now that she’s no longer with us, it’s a tough reality to comprehend.”
He continued, “She had an incredible family, great friends, and her fun, outgoing energy will be missed by all of us. It’s an understatement to say how hard all of this is to process for everyone who knew Mak, especially her family and friends, who deserve privacy and respect during this difficult time.”
Makena White, the girlfriend of American professional golfer Jake Knapp, has died. The tragic news was announced via White’s Instagram page on Friday, September 26. “Hi everyone — this is Makena’s friend, writing with the heaviest heart to share that Makena passed away earlier this week,” the statement read. “She is already so deeply missed […]
Earlier on Friday, White’s death was announced via her Instagram account by a friend posting on her behalf.
“Hi everyone — this is Makena’s friend, writing with the heaviest heart to share that Makena passed away earlier this week,” the statement read. “She is already so deeply missed by her Dad, her family, her friends, and of course by [her dogs] Nelly and Fergie.”
The post continued, “Makena was one of a kind. She had this rare way of making you feel special, and her huge heart was always overflowing with love. To be loved by Makena was a gift; one that came with endless laughter, so much joy, and a healthy sprinkling of chaos as we tried to keep up with her travel schedule.”

“We love you Mak,” the post concluded. “We’ll miss you always, and we’ll be looking for you in the sunset 💛.”
A cause of death was not revealed. However, donations were asked to be made in her name to the Bruyère Brain Health & Memory Clinic or the Griffin Bell Endowment Fund.
Knapp and White had been dating since August 2023 and went public with their relationship in February.
White’s last social media post was a gushing tribute to Knapp shared in August following a successful season on the PGA Tour.
“Year 2 of first fairway hugs & watching you live out your dreams 🫶🏼,” White wrote via Instagram alongside a carousel of photos of the couple. “Second season in the books — forever grateful to be on this walk with you, here’s to many many many more! I looooove you sweet boy, you make it so dang easy to be proud 💛.”
Hollywood has mourned the deaths of some of its most legendary stars in 2025. January brought the tragic news of the death of Twin Peaks cocreator David Lynch. February saw the deaths of “Killing Me Softly With His Song’ singer Roberta Flack and Gossip Girl alum Michelle Trachtenberg. Boxing great George Foreman died in March, […]
White also praised Knapp publicly in May as she celebrated his birthday with a sweet post, calling him her “best friend.”
“No matter where our crazy adventures take us, you make every place feel like home 💛,” she wrote. “I love you sweet boy!”

In response, Knapp wrote, “Thank youuu, I love you ❤️.”
A year prior to the heartfelt post, White had commemorated Knapp’s 30th birthday with an equally touching Instagram post.
“The kindest, hardest working, most generous, handsome, talented person I’ll ever know,” White wrote via Instagram at the time. “To know you is to love you. “Here’s to 30 years of living the dream — and you’re only getting started. Happy birthday my sweet boy, you deserve the world.”
The WNBA’s 2025 MVP A’ja Wilson is definitely somebody special — and it seems like Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo knows all about it.
Wilson and Adebayo have been friendly since at least 2023, when the Heat hooper showed up at a July 2023 WNBA game to watch Wilson alongside the rest of the Las Vegas Aces.
The pair have a lot in common: they’re both Olympians and among the most talented in their field (Wilson was recently crowned the league’s MVP for a historic fourth time). In an April 2025 interview with Cosmo Sports, Wilson explained, “He’s obviously in the same field, so we bounce off different things with one another to where it’s like, no, we’re not alone. He’s helped me through a lot and welcomed me to be who I’m going to be.”
The couple mostly stay out of the spotlight, choosing not to share a lot of their love life on social media, but it’s clear there’s something special between them. Keep scrolling to read more about A’ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo’s relationship timeline:
Simone Biles, Tom Daley and other Olympians heading towards the 2024 Paris Olympics found success not only in their careers, but with equally accomplished partners. Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, started dating NFL safety Jonathan Owens in 2020. After three years of dating, the two tied the knot in an intimate courthouse wedding […]

Wilson and Adebayo have been orbiting one another since at least July 2023, when Adebayo showed up at a Las Vegas Aces game alongside fellow NBA stars Donovan Mitchell, Grant Williams and Torrey Craig.

Adebayo, who was a member of the Men’s Basketball Team at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, was courtside as Wilson as the rest of the Women’s Basketball Team took on Team France during the gold medal match. Adebayo was joined by LeBron James and Derek White.

Wilson was in attendance when Adebayo and his Heat teammates were honored by the city of Miami on September 5, 2024. Though the two have been chumming at basketball games, this caught the eye of several onlookers — including Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, who told reporters, “A’ja Wilson, she won gold in women’s basketball. I guess that has something to do with Bam and the Heat being here today.”
Adebayo also seemed to reference Wilson’s appearance — or at least the online chatter that resulted. He wrote via X, “Getting the 🔑 today was smooth. How’s y’all Wednesday going ? 🙂.”
Later that month, Adebayo again seemingly could not stop himself from celebrating Wilson after she was named the 2024 WNBA MVP. The Heat star shared via social media, “U’nanimous” — an apparent referent to the apostrophe in Wilson’s first name.
Three days later, Adebayo took to X to give the people what they wanted: more “BA’ja” content. “Hope everybody finds A’thousand reasons to smile on this lovely Sunday,” he tweeted alongside a smiley emoji.

TMZ published photos of Wilson and Adebayo out for dinner in Los Angeles.

In perhaps his most public move yet, Adebayo wore a pair of Wilson’s A’One sneakers during a February 7 game against the Brooklyn Nets — months before the shoes were released in May 2025.
The South Carolina Gamecocks retired Wilson’s jersey at the beginning of February 2025, and Adebayo was courtside for the ceremony alongside former college teammate, the Atlanta Dream’s Allisha Gray.
Wilson took the opportunity to make her own “if you know, you know” statement about Adebayo and told the crowd, “I wouldn’t be who I am today without the love, support and sacrifices of so many people. What a blessing to have those most special to me courtside today, especially my favorite Olympian from out of town.”
In an interview with People later that month, Wilson noted that Adebayo wearing her sneakers in January was “super dope” and “a moment.” The NBA hooper “really wanted to be at the forefront of pushing my shoes,” she said.
Wilson added: “If I have to put it out in the NBA, why not have someone like Bam Adebayo, who’s just a good person all around, to kind of showcase my shoes, so I was thankful he was able to wear it.”
When asked about her Valentine’s Day plans in the same interview, Wilson, who was attending NBA All-Star in San Francisco during the holiday, clarified: “My plans are here at NBA All-Star. My NBA All-Star is not here.”
April 2025
Wilson finally publicly called Adebayo her boyfriend in an April 2025 cover story for Cosmo Sports. “I have an amazing boyfriend who really is my safe space. He’s truly a gift,” she said. “He’s obviously in the same field, so we bounce off different things with one another to where it’s like, no, we’re not alone. He’s helped me through a lot and welcomed me to be who I’m going to be. I know he’s like, ‘I don’t know what A’ja I’m going to get today, but I’m blessed to be beside her.’”
She continued: “And it’s the same for me. When you can be your true self in front of someone, in front of your partner, that’s the purest form of love. At any point if I ever need a voice to hear or just a hug, he’s always there.”

Basketball fans were in stitches after Wilson was photographed wearing a pair of Adebayo’s Miami Heat pants during an Aces practice on July 1.

Adebayo was on hand to help celebrate Wilson’s historic fourth WNBA MVP win on September 21. In a video shared via social media by the WNBA, a visibly emotional Wilson grinned as Adebayo wrapped her in a hug and she held her newest trophy.
Dwyane Wade then revealed on an episode of his “Time Out with Dwyane Wade” podcast, that Adebayo didn’t believe he had a shot with Wilson at first.
“I remember I got a chance to sit with Bam at the Olympics,” Wade began, speaking of the 2024 Games in Paris. “We both was there to watch our women’s [team] play. We were just talking about A’ja as a hooper, and Bam cracked me up with — he was just like, ‘Man, my little award case.’ He was like, ‘Bro, I ain’t got a chance. She’s so cold. He was like, her, her awards is just — you know, like one of top high schoolers that win everything? Bro, she’s a winner.”

Prince Harry made his first public appearance with his wife, Meghan Markle, in the U.S. since his long-awaited reunion with his father, King Charles III.
The royal couple made an unannounced appearance at the One805LIVE! concert in Carpinteria, California, on Saturday, September 20. This was Harry’s third annual visit to the event, which raises money for Santa Barbara County’s first responders.
Meghan joined Harry backstage at the concert, before they briefly appeared onstage to present an award to Santa Barbara County Fire Chief, Mark Hartwig, according to reports. The concert was held on Hollywood legend Kevin Costner’s oceanside property, and featured live performances from country music icon Trisha Yearwood, rockers Good Charlotte and R&B singer Thelma Houston, among others.
Organizers have described the One805LIVE! event as “an unforgettable evening of music, community, and support for our First Responders.”
Prince Harry offered just a few words about his private meeting with his father, King Charles III, after the pair reunited for a private tea in London on Wednesday, September 10. “Yes, he’s great, thank you,” Harry, 40, responded to a question about his royal reunion during an engagement for his Invictus Games Foundation, which […]
“One805LIVE! is our flagship annual benefit concert, bringing together legendary artists and passionate supporters to raise funds for essential equipment and mental wellness programs for Santa Barbara County’s first responders,” the group explained on its website.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have called Santa Barbara home since 2020, after temporarily living in friend Tyler Perry’s Beverly Hills mansion when they first moved from Canada to the U.S. (Harry and Meghan spent the early part of their marriage living at Frogmore Cottage near Windsor Castle, before resigning their royal duties in January 2020.)
It has been a whirlwind few weeks for Harry, as he just returned to the U.S. following a trip to his native U.K. for the WellChild Awards as well as a diplomatic visit to Ukraine. While in London, he reunited with his father King Charles III for the first time in 19 months during a one-on-one meeting at Clarence House on September 10.

A source exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly that father and son reconciled after King Charles received “a handwritten letter from Harry earlier this year” that expressed “his [son’s] desire to reconnect.” Harry chatted with his father for around 54 minutes before he had to leave for an event in honor of the Invictus Games.
“They were catching up personally about the children and what has been going on with Charles and his health,” an insider told Us. “There were hugs and tears at the meeting.”
The meeting was likely to have been emotionally charged since Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February 2024. Following the meeting, Harry told The Guardian that “the focus really has to be on my dad” in the year ahead.
Asked if the reunion increased the likelihood of moving his family back to the U.K., Harry answered: “This week has definitely brought that closer.” (Harry and Meghan share two children: a son, Prince Archie, 6, and a daughter, Princess Lilibet, 4.)
Us has learned that, while Harry and King Charles are on better terms these days, there is still a rift between the prince and his brother, William.

“There is still ongoing tension with William and Kate,” a source exclusively revealed to Us on Monday, September 15. “They are deeply hurt by the public disclosures, memoir revelations and interviews and criticisms of their roles, which they perceive as breaches of trust that require significant time to heal from, which is why they aren’t there yet.”
Meanwhile, Meghan celebrated her husband’s return home to the U.S. following his European trip via the official Instagram account of her brand As Ever on September 14.

Are You My First? sparked several romantic connections between the virgin contestants — but which couples are still dating and who has broken up?
Hosted by Colton Underwood and Kaitlyn Bristowe, Are You My First?, which premiered in August 2025, introduced a new dating experiment where virgins navigated love, lust and losing it. Viewers saw a group of hopeful contestants exploring connections, pairing up and even eliminating each other in what the show referred to as “virgin sacrifices.”
The season 1 finale ended in two couples solidifying their romance — but no swiping of V-cards.
“We really pushed them out of their comfort zones,” Kaitlyn said on the show before Colton joked, “We have done everything except guide it in at this point.”
Hulu’s Are You My First is all about virgins looking for love — but did any season 1 contestants sleep with each other on screen? The reality show, which premiered on Monday, August 18, was described as a new dating experiment “where virgins navigate love, lust and losing it.” “In this groundbreaking new dating experiment, […]
Kaitlyn then asked if they failed “because no one had sex” on the show. Colton replied by noting that they could still make that happen in a possible second season.
The hosts later stood by their approach, with Colton telling Us after the show premiered, “The goal of the show was never to get them laid, I remember joking about that on my Bachelor season like, ‘That is not the goal of the show.’ The goal is to connect with somebody, to experience these things. And people experienced their firsts on Are You My First? in different ways.”
He continued: “On a deeper level, I think some of the cast experienced the first self-love and self-acceptance, like, having that deeper understanding of their virginity was the goal of this. And I would like to think after a lot of them have lost their virginity, and they might have had those tools to do that from the experience.”

Robin Wrightis a “romantic” and an inspiration who still believes in love — despite three divorces.
“You can go through tumultuous, distressing relationships, but we rebound, don’t we?” Wright, 59, told AARP The Magazine in a Thursday, September 18, interview. “Our hearts rebound with a belief that it’s still there and it can be achieved and how wonderful when it comes again.”
Wright has been married three times. She tied the knot with the late Dane Witherspoon in 1986 but the pair divorced two years later. She later wed Sean Penn in 1996, and the twosome welcomed their children, daughter Dylan and son Hopper, in 1991 and 1993, respectively. In 2018, Wright married Clement Giraudet. She filed for divorce in 2022, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. Wright was also twice engaged to Ben Foster until they split for good in 2015.
Wright began dating British-Australian architect Henry Smith in 2024. The Princess Bride star revealed to The Times of Londonin August that the couple met in a pub when she asked to feed his dog, Rusty, a piece of her steak.
“[Another stranger] goes, ‘No, it’s not my dog, it’s his dog,’” Wright recalled to the outlet, pointing at Smith. “And Henry was standing at the bar, and he put his pint down, came over to me and grabbed my shoulders. He goes, ‘Who the f*** are you?’ And I said, ‘Who the f*** are you?’ And that was it.”
The duo then quickly bonded when they caught COVID-19 together. “We were lying in bed, deathly ill, crying, laughing, hugging, loving, snogging, f***ing,” she said. “Just like, ‘I want to know you.’”
According to Wright, Smith had no idea about her Hollywood status, and was simply attracted to her “Nordic goddess beauty.”
“He is a sweetheart and just a good, decent adult,” she added. “He’s a man.”

Wright and Smith have since made the move to London and are currently renting a property on the English seaside. Wright called the relocation a “liberating,” one, saying “Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 percent of what you wanted.”
Despite being head over heels for Smith, Wright has no plans of walking down the aisle a fourth time, calling the idea “unnecessary.”

Another husband might not be in the cards, but what Wright wants from a long term romantic partner is crystal clear.
“I don’t want to worry anymore,” the Girlfriend star explained to AARP on Thursday. “I don’t want to doubt, I don’t want to suspect. I don’t want all those things that we did in our 20s. I can’t imagine feeling again what I felt then, which was jealous, suspicious. You grow out of it like you grow out of a pair of pants.”

Grace Ann said she was “dying” to meet Alcaraz, adding: “[He’s] such a cutie.”
Nader has been linked to both Alcaraz and Sinner in recent weeks after she was seen at the US Open in New York City last month.
“Is this, like, an interrogation? I’m so scared right now,” Nader responded on the September 2 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live when asked about her attendance at the US Open. “Well, ask Stephen [Colbert] what match we were at. I don’t think [Jannik] was playing in that one.”
Nader was spotted alongside The Late Show host Colbert and his wife, Evie, during Alcaraz’s August 31 match against French tennis pro Arthur Rinderknech.
“[I’m] loving it,” Nader said of being single in an exclusive Us Weekly cover interview in August. “I’ve never gotten to do this my whole life, so I love it.”
Mark Consuelos is recalling his spontaneous proposal to now-wife Kelly Ripa, just one week after their brief split.
“I broke up with her ‘cause I was dumb and it was the most agonizing week of my life,” Consuelos, 54, said on the Monday, September 15, episode of “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast.” “I just knew that I never wanted to feel like that. I’ve never felt like that in my life.”
The actor revealed that when he broke up with Ripa, 54, she wasn’t “returning any of [his calls]”, but they both happened to have to be together to “do a bit of PR.”
“We were both on a soap,” he explained, noting that they were going to be “presenting a winner” for the “Queen for the Day” segment on the Live with Regis and Kathy Lee Gifford show. “We both tried to get out of it. I called the PR person. … She tried to get out of it as well.”
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos proclaimed their eternal love for each other as they celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary on Wednesday, May 1. The pair walked onto the set of Live with Kelly and Mark to their favorite song, Stevie Wonder’s 1976 classic, “As.” “It makes me so excited. Stevie Wonder. He is just the […]

Consuelos went on to say that Ripa didn’t want to speak to Consuelos, despite his many attempts to strike up a conversation. Eventually, he convinced her to walk with him through Central Park.
“She really didn’t want to, but I was convincing,” he said. “We ended up back at my place downtown and I asked her to marry me. … She said, ‘Ask me when you’re serious. And I said, ‘I am dead serious. … We have a day off work tomorrow. Let’s fly to Vegas and get married.’”
The pair eloped in Vegas in May 1996. To this day, Ripa is thankful it all worked out the way it did.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have still got it! Nearly 28 years after their May 1996 wedding in Las Vegas, Nevada, Ripa, 53, and Consuelos, 52, recreated a sweet photo from their nuptials. “Viva Las Vegas ✨ Then ➡️ Now,” Ripa wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, February 28, alongside a throwback shot of the pair […]
“Listen, I’ve got to tell you, [Mark and I] had a Vegas wedding, and I firmly believe in the power of Vegas weddings,” Ripa told former cohost Ryan Seacrest in May 2019.
Consuelos and Ripa went on to welcome son Michael followed by daughter Lola and son Joaquin in 1997, 2001 and 2003, respectively.

“I really like my wife. A lot. The love’s always going to be there, but I really like my wife,” Consuelos gushed to Us Weekly in July.
Ripa said that their marriage has kept working out because the twosome have “a lot of shared trust.”
“We have a shared history and there’s something really nice,” Ripa told Us. “It’s two people who have a shared interest, that also have developed interests outside of what they commonly share. Two people who maintain their individuality while simultaneously grow[ing] together and build[ing] the other person up.”
Love is decidedly not embarrassing for Olivia Rodrigoand her boyfriend, Louis Partridge.
Rodrigo and Partridge were first linked in fall 2023 when they were spotted packing on the PDA in the actor’s native London.
“Dating probably shouldn’t be done in the public eye,” Partridge told British Vogue in a March 2024 profile. “There’s enough going on between two people. You don’t need the voices of thousands of others in your head. I think she’s got it a lot worse than I have. I can be a bit of a normal person. She’s got tons and tons of eyes on her case.”
He added, “If there’s a load of people nattering in a room about you, you can choose to put your ear to the door to hear what they say or not. I think you’re probably better off not letting curiosity get the better of you.”

Up until this point, Rodrigo hadn’t outright confirmed whether she was dating the actor. After dropping sophomore album Guts, fans theorized that the song “So American” was about Partridge.
“And he laughs at all my jokes / And he says I’m so American / Oh God, it’s just not fair of him / To make me feel this much,” Rodrigo sings. “I’d go anywhere he goes / And he says I’m so American /Oh God, I’m gonna marry him / If he keeps this s— up.”
Partridge also declined to address whether he is Rodrigo’s muse, telling Elle the following October, “Not my song, not my place. So, I wouldn’t know.”
Around the same time, eagle-eyed fans kept noticing Partridge attending U.S. shows on Rodrigo’s Guts tour.

Rodrigo performed at London’s Hyde Park on June 27, where she teased her affinity for the country.
“As luck would have it, I really love English boys,” Rodrigo said, introducing “So American,” per concert footage shared via social media. “In particular, one English boy. I wrote this song at a time, where I was really, really crushing on [him]. We were getting to know each other, getting to know all of our various cultural differences like, ‘Oh, wow, you drive on the other side of the road’ or ‘You call every dessert a pudding.’ I was just so fascinated by all the differences.”

In a Varietyprofile, Partridge was asked about being known as “Mr. Olivia Rodrigo.”
“I can handle that,” he told the outlet. “I’m very happy, and I think she is too, so all is good in our world.”
Ne-Yo opened up about his “phenomenal” polyamorous relationship with “four beautiful ladies.”
“I’m in a great space,” the “So Sick” rapper, 45, revealed during an appearance on Kai Cenat’s YouTube stream on Wednesday, September 10 (via People). “I am currently in a polyamorous relationship. I have four beautiful ladies that move with me on the regular.”
Ne-Yo (real name Shaffer Chimere Smith) went public with his polyamorous lifestyle in February, following his split from ex-wifeCrystal Renay Williams in 2022. At the time, he introduced his girlfriends as Cristina (a.k.a. “Pretty Baby”), Arielle (a.k.a. “Twin Flame”), Moneii (a.k.a “Phoenix Feather”) and Bri (a.k.a. “Sexy Lil’ Somethin’”).
During his appearance on Cenat’s stream, Ne-Yo spoke about the practicalities of his four relationships. For example, they all sleep in extra-large Alaskan King beds that Ne-Yo compared to “two California King [mattresses] next to each other.”
Ne-Yo and ex-fiancée Monyetta Shaw-Carter allegedly broke up after he frequently wanted to open up their relationship. “We cheated together, if that makes sense,” Shaw-Carter, 43, claimed during a Tuesday, August 29, interview on “Haus of Aaron,” holding up three figures to seemingly indicate a threesome. “We did things together. It’s not cheating if you’re […]
Viewers also learned that Ne-Yo is not “legally married” to any of the four women he’s seeing, yet he still considers each of them his “wives.”
Asked why he decided to pursue polyamory after his divorce, Ne-Yo candidly admitted: “I’m 45 years old. At this point in my life, everything I do is about what’s best for me, what’s best for my kids [and] what’s best for my tribe. That’s it.”
The musician went on, “I’m going to keep it a buck with you. I was married before this to one woman. Things didn’t go well. I made my mistakes. We got divorced. A lot of people got hurt in the process, and I told myself at that moment I ain’t lying to nobody about nothing ever again.”
Ne-Yo mentioned he was already seeing one of his current “wives” when he broke the news to her that he wanted to pursue multiple women at the same time.

“I went, ‘Listen, you know I rock with you. I absolutely rock with you. But it ain’t just you,’” he explained. “‘I also rock with her, and her, and her. So what I wanna do is bring this whole thing together. If you with it, let’s rock. If you’re not, that’s cool too. No love lost. You go your way and I go mine. That’s the only way it works.’”
The Grammy Award-winning artist is a father of seven. He shares daughter Madilyn Grace, born in 2010, and son Mason Evan, born in 2011, with former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Monyetta Shaw-Carter, and later had sons Shaffer Chimere Jr. and Roman Alexander-Raj, born in 2016 and 2018, respectively, and daughter Isabella Rose, born in 2021, with ex-wife Williams. Ne-Yo and former partner Sade Jenea Bagnerise are parents to sons Braiden and Brixton, born in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
Ne-Yo is apologizing to the LGBTQ+ community for his recent comments about children discovering their gender identity. “After much reflection, I’d like to express my deepest apologies to anyone that I may have hurt with my comments on parenting and gender identity,” Ne-Yo (real name Shaffer Chimere Smith), 43, wrote in a statement via X […]
“I answer them [truthfully],” he insisted during an appearance on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show. “[It’s] honesty. I’m not lying to nobody, not even my children.”

He went on, “It’s like, ‘Hey, this is daddy’s girlfriend.’ And so is that, and so is that, and so is that. She gonna make you some cereal, she gonna cook lunch and she gonna wash your clothes.’ And it’s all good.”
Ne-Yo also stressed that he wasn’t “manipulating” or “brainwashing” any of his four girlfriends.
“Everybody’s honest,” Ne-Yo insisted. “Everybody’s telling the truth. Everybody is consenting. I feel like I wasted a lot of time just being dishonest about things, to the point where had I taken this approach initially, I could’ve saved myself a lot of headache and heartache.”
