Kevin McKiddand Arielle Goldrath have settled the terms of their divorce, Us Weekly can confirm.
The twosome reached an uncontested written agreement regarding their property, child custody and support, according to court documents obtained by Us.
Us confirmed in June 2023 that McKidd, 50, and Goldrath had finalized their divorce. Per the filing, the former couple signed a prenuptial agreement ahead of their 2018 wedding, which was honored.
The Grey’s Anatomy star announced in July 2022 that he and Goldrath had separated.
“Pick me, choose me, love me.” Grey’s Anatomy has made an art form out of bringing fictional couples together and tearing them apart. In real life, the cast’s romantic ventures are not always so dramatic. Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey’s Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd are the most beloved duo in the ABC drama’s history. Since the show began in […]
“I don’t often share my personal life on social media, but today there is something I do want to share with you,” he wrote via Instagram at the time. “A few months ago, Arielle and I decided to end the marriage portion of our relationship. We reached this conclusion after much soul-searching and discussion. We know it’s what is right for both of us.”
McKidd — who shares son Aiden, 5, and daughter Nava, 4, with Goldrath — added that his ex “is an incredible mother.” (He also coparents two older children with ex-wife Jane Parker, whom he was married to from 1999 to 2017.)

“She’s one of the wisest, most intelligent and loving people I’ve ever known,” he continued. “We continue to have the highest love and respect for each other. … We have been able to redefine our lives and love for each other in a beautiful way. It’s not been easy and has taken significant work and self-examination. It has all been worth it to get to where we are now: a deep and honest relationship as parents and real friends with an amazing shared history, beautiful children and family.”
He concluded, “Please wish us luck and good fortune going forward, as we also wish for you all. It feels good to share this part of my life and let you all know that even with challenges, it is possible to reach happy conclusions if we show up for each other and stay open. Arielle and I will always be there for one another. I hope everyone could be this blessed: to raise their kids with one of your very best friends.”
Us confirmed in December 2022 that Goldrath had filed for divorce from McKidd, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Following their split, McKidd has been linked to fellow Shondaland star Danielle Savre. The pair were first spotted together in June 2023 when they packed on the PDA in Lake Como, Italy.
McKidd and Savre, 35, have appeared on the small screen together in several Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 crossover episodes, playing Owen Hunt and Maya Bishop, respectively.
Savre, for her part, was previously linked to Andrew Contis in 2019.
Brad Pitt is looking ahead as he and Angelina Jolie take the legal steps to finalize their lengthy divorce.
“They’re navigating the last of the red tape, which is a huge relief and morale boost,” a source exclusively reveals in the newest issue of Us Weekly, noting that Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 48, are close to wrapping up their seven-year legal battle.
According to the insider, Pitt isn’t thrilled about how the end of their marriage affected their family, noting, “It saddens him that he’s not on better terms with some of his kids, and he regrets that things got so acrimonious with Angelina, but the days of looking back in anger are behind him.”
The former couple called it quits in 2016 after more than a decade together. Shortly before their split, Pitt and Jolie made headlines when Pitt was the subject of a child abuse investigation due to an alleged incident on the family’s jet. Pitt was later cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been locked in a messy court battle ever since she filed for divorce in September 2016, but the pair were not always at odds. The Oscar winners fell for each other while filming the 2005 action film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The origination of their relationship instantly caused controversy since […]
“Brad has owned everything he’s responsible for from day one — unlike the other side — but he’s not going to own anything he didn’t do,” Pitt’s lawyer Anne Kiley told Us in an October 2022 statement. “He has been on the receiving end of every type of personal attack and misrepresentation.”
While Pitt and Jolie were declared legally single in 2019, the duo have spent years wrapped up in legal disputes over their French vineyard and custody of their minor children. (The pair share six kids: Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.)

Jolie recently opened up about her close-knit connection with her kids, telling WSJ. Magazine in December 2023, “They are the closest people to me and my life, and they’re my close friends. We’re seven very different people, which is our strength.”
“I don’t really have … a social life. I realized my closest friends are refugees. Maybe four out of six of the women that I am close to are from war and conflict,” she explained before discussing her plans to stay at her home in Cambodia more often. “It’s part of what happened after my divorce. I lost the ability to live and travel as freely. I will move when I can.”
“He’s embracing growing older and the experiences and wisdom it brings,” a second source tells Us, adding that Pitt is “very content with life” right now.
One month after they were first linked, Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon were already celebrating milestones together. The Oscar winner and de Ramon were spotted hanging out on Pitt’s 59th birthday in December 2022, just weeks after the pair were seen attending a Bono concert with famous pals including Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and […]
The insider says Pitt has a “deep bond” with de Ramon, 30, after more than one year of dating, noting, “He couldn’t be more excited or thankful.”

In an except from his upcoming book, Flip Your Life: How to Find Opportunity in Distress — in Real Estate, Business and Life, El Moussa wrote that after he “went out to our backyard in Yorba Linda and hopped over the fence” after a heated argument with Hall, 40, in 2016.
El Moussa brought his licensed .38-caliber pistol with him as he went for a run due to the mountain lions and bobcats in the neighboring Chino Hills State Park.
“A police officer leaning out of the helicopter pointed a rifle at me. Dust swirled around me from the spin of the blades, and a loudspeaker crackled, ‘Get your hands in the air!’” he wrote in his book, per People. “I heard an officer shout, ‘Tarek?’ I screamed back, ‘Yes! I’m the guy from TV! What are you guys doing?’”
Talk about a roller-coaster! Christina Hall (née Haack) and Tarek El Moussa‘s ups and downs started well before they called it quits in 2016. The reality stars tied the knot in May 2009, four years before their HGTV series catapulted them into the spotlight. Things took a turn when El Moussa was diagnosed with two […]
El Moussa continued: “For the next several hours, I sat on a cooler on my driveway, handcuffed. That was the very last time we were together as a family: with Christina walking down the driveway, crying, and me sitting there in handcuffs, asking myself, What in the world is going on?”

An eyewitness told police at the time that Hall was “crying and shaking,” while El Moussa told the deputies that he “had no intention of hurting himself.” He agreed to “voluntarily relinquish all of his firearms” after the incident.
El Moussa referred to the weeks after their breakup as “physical and emotional hell,” telling People on Wednesday, January 31, “Everybody gave up on me: the magazines, the outlets, the network, nobody believed in me.”
While HGTV is known for making feel-good content, sometimes drama goes on behind the scenes with the network’s personalities. Exes Christina Hall and Tarek El Moussa used to host Flip or Flop together in 2013 while they were still married. After announcing their separation in 2016, the pair continued to work together on their series. […]
Despite their ups and downs, El Moussa and Hall, who officially announced their split via a joint statement in December 2016, have since gotten to a better place as they continue to coparent daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8.
“I hold nothing against Christina. I understand why she did what she did. We had a lot of hard years through my sicknesses and my mental health struggles from the testosterone,” he revealed on Wednesday. “I’ve never said any of this, ever.”

Hall moved on with Ant Anstead after her split from El Moussa. Hall and Anstead, 44, got married in December 2018 and revealed three months later that they were expecting their first child together. One year after welcoming son Hudson, Hall announced she and Anstead called it quits.
“[Meeting Heather in 2019 was] my breakthrough moment. Ever since that day, I just haven’t looked back and I’m just so happy and excited about the family I have today,” El Moussa added to People on Wednesday. “I never gave up. Through a lot of hard work, pain and just dreaming, I was able to get to where I am today.”

Britney Spears’ ex Sam Asghari appears to be living his best life since his split from the superstar. On January 8, he posed for red carpet photos at the Young Hollywood & the Breakout Stars of 2023 event in L.A., and three days later, the US Sun reported he’d name-dropped Spears to score a photo with Brad Pitt at a Beverly Hills gallery exhibition.
The “Toxic” singer isn’t exactly thrilled Asghari is still using his connection to her to secure invites to industry events and rub shoulders with Hollywood’s elite. “She feels Sam is playing the ‘Mr. Britney Spears’ card for everything it’s worth,” says a source, “and she finds it kind of pathetic.”
It’s been especially hard on Spears, 42, as she and Asghari are currently clashing over the details of their divorce. The former trainer, 29, filed for divorce in August 2023 after 14 months of marriage. As Us previously reported, Spears and Asghari signed an ironclad prenup before they tied the knot in June 2022, but now sources claim Asghari wants more money.
“Sam feels he should be compensated properly for everything he went through with Britney,” says one source, referring to the erratic behavior and mood swings Asghari witnessed while married to the pop star. “The exact amount he wants is being kept confidential, but he’s not happy with what Britney and her team have proposed.” Adds a second source: “Sam is going for everything under the sun.” Representatives for Spears declined to comment on the divorce proceedings. A representative for Asghari did not respond to a request for comment.

A source told Us in July 2022 that, per the terms of their prenup, Asghari would get $1 million for every two years of marriage to Spears, while waiving his rights to the Grammy winner’s music catalog and signing an NDA. (She’s worth an estimated $60 million.) But the settlement is “stuck in limbo,” says the first source. “There’s a lot of wrangling back and forth. Things have become a lot more complicated than both of them had hoped it would be.”
While Spears had reportedly been paying for Asghari’s luxury apartment rental following their split, a third source tells Us that’s no longer the case. “Britney is in no mood to be pushed around or rushed into signing over another huge check to Sam,” says the first source, noting that so far, she isn’t budging when it comes to the terms of their prenup. “She wants to stick to the letter of the paperwork and feels that’s all he’s entitled to, period.”
It was love at first sight when Britney Spears and Sam Asghari met in October 2016 on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video, but the fairy-tale does not have a happy ending. Spears was charmed when chatting with Asghari and the pair exchanged phone numbers and continued to get to know each other. […]
It’s a sore subject for the star. In 2022, Spears’ legal team claimed her father, Jamie, paid himself at least $6 million while acting as her conservator and spent more than $30 million of her earnings on legal fees associated with the 13-year conservatorship. “Britney is still deeply resentful over how much money certain family members have managed to mooch off of her through the years,” says the first source. After her 2007 divorce from Kevin Federline, Spears reportedly paid the former backup dancer $1.3 million, and he receives $40,000 a month from her in child support for their two sons, Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17, who live with him in Hawaii.
“Sam wishes Britney well but wants what’s fair,” a source says of Asghari pushing for more money.MEGA
Now Asghari believes he’s entitled to more than he agreed to initially. “Sam isn’t hurting for cash, but he’s willing to dig in and fight for the extra money he feels he deserves,” says the first source. An insider told Us in January 2023 that Spears was “emotionally abusive” and could be “cruel” toward Asghari, often taking her stress out on him. The insider said she also blamed Asghari for their May 2022 miscarriage, telling him that she “lost the baby because he is never home.”
Things seemed amicable enough when Spears and Asghari announced their split in August. “We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always,” he wrote in an Instagram statement. Spears confirmed the breakup a few days later, telling fans via social media that she was “a little shocked” but doing “pretty damn good.” She added, “I’m not here to explain why because it’s honestly nobody’s business.”
Britney Spears’ career and personal life have faced a series of ups and downs over the years. Spears first showed off her vocal skills on the singing competition Star Search at 10 years old in 1992. Following a stint on The Mickey Mouse Club, she signed a record deal with Jive Records in 1997 and […]
At the time, rumors circulated Spears had been unfaithful with a member of her staff, but an insider told Us Spears’ inner circle “would be really surprised if she cheated,” adding, “Britney and Sam wanted different things and couldn’t agree on several issues such as having children.” In 2022, a source told Us the pair had “skipped the honeymoon phase” of their marriage and were “constantly fighting,” particularly over Spears’ lack of focus and built-up anger from her conservatorship.

As of now, Spears and Asghari aren’t speaking. “They’ve exchanged pleasantries, but generally they don’t talk,” says the first source. “It’s difficult with this situation being unresolved, plus both of them are keen to put the marriage behind them and move on with their lives.” During a January 7 interview with Life & Style, Asghari said he was focused on his acting career and added that he was “not looking for a partner.”
This past year had Us questioning whether love is even real after a months-long onslaught of celebrity breakups. One of the first shocking splits that took the world by storm in 2023 was Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix. Us Weekly confirmed in March that the Vanderpump Rules stars broke up after nearly a decade of […]
Spears would like to settle down again eventually, but the first source says she’s not in a rush. In late January, she shared photos of herself enjoying some beach time in French Polynesia. “Britney’s just cutting loose, flirting with cute guys and looking to have fun,” says the source. “She’s not up for anything serious.”
During her Wednesday, January 10, appearance on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast, Moakler, 48, revealed that she and Barker, also 48, were “working” on their relationship when she was sent text messages between him and Kardashian, 43, from an anonymous source.
“They were trying to meet up at her sister’s house to f–k,” Moakler said of the alleged exchanges, claiming that when she showed the texts to Barker he “deleted them.” She also claimed that she called Kardashian, who denied the affair and said, “I don’t like white guys.”
Moakler and Barker tied the knot in 2004 and welcomed their kids, son Landon and daughter Alabama, in 2003 and 2005, respectively. They first called it quits in 2006 but continued with an on-off relationship for two years before finalizing their divorce in 2008.
Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler’s relationship has been plagued with custody battles, cheating accusations and more. The former spouses originally called it quits in 2006 after two years of marriage and the arrival of son Landon and daughter Alabama. For the next two years, however, they continued an on-and-off relationship before finalizing their divorce in […]
While opening up about pulling the plug on her romance with Barker, Moakler noted that she and the drummer “never recovered” from the drama with Kardashian, which contributed to their split.
Barker, for his part, has denied that anything physical happened between him and Kim — “We went to dinner, we went to lunch,” he wrote in his 2015 memoir, Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums. Barker is now married to Kim’s sister, Kourtney Kardashian. The twosome wed in May 2022.
Keep scrolling for more revelations from Moakler’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast appearance:
On Travis Barker and Kim Kardashian
Moakler claimed that she and Barker were “working on things” in their relationship when someone “anonymously texted” her the rocker’s alleged conversations with Kim. “They were trying to meet up at her sister’s house to f–k,” she said. Moakler claimed the pair connected when Kim was shooting for Barker’s clothing brand.
“I wanted this relationship to work. I was so in love with him,” she said, claiming she showed Barker the messages and he “deleted” them. “[He] said, ‘I don’t see anything.’”
She also allegedly called Kim. “She just said to me, ‘I don’t like white guys,’” Moakler recalled. “I was like, ‘You’ll f–k anyone to be famous.’ … Travis and I never really recovered from that. I felt stupid.”
Moakler also claimed she “caught” Barker with Lindsay Lohan. “He was living the rockstar life,” she explained. “We always came back to each other.”
Despite their issues, Moakler shared that she wanted to make it work for the family. “I was so in love with him,” she said. “I wanted my children to see their mother and father in love.”
On the Kardashian Family
Moakler made headlines in 2021 when Alabama and Landon took to social media to share that Moakler wasn’t currently in their lives. While recalling their estrangement, Moakler said she felt like “parental alienation” began with Landon and Alabama when Barker started dating Kourtney.
“That shit was all getting played out in the press,” she explained, noting that the Kardashian family is a “media machine.”
“I just got f—king hammered. And bullied,” she continued. “And over my f–king kids. Who does that to someone with their own children? F–k you, that family.”
Moakler called the famous brood “disgusting,” noting that she would “never want to know them.”
“I’m tired of people shitting on me. I don’t have to like that f–king family,” she said. “I’m not afraid of them and I don’t like them. I removed myself. I took a step back.”

On Travis Barker’s Plane Crash
After Barker was involved in a September 2008 plane crash that killed four people and left him with third-degree burns on 65 percent of his body, Moakler claimed she was trying to connect the musician with his children when she discovered emails of Barker bashing her parenting style.
“We got his computer … We were hoping him seeing the kids would give him the strength to keep fighting,” she explained. “When I was setting up his computer … I looked in his email and I saw all the emails from the women. That didn’t bother me, but I saw all these comments in these emails about what a shitty mother I was. I couldn’t f–king believe that he was the one behind some of those comments. I went home and cried in my mother’s arms for hours.”
Moakler noted that “looking back now, I probably should’ve licked my wounds until he recovered.”
On Gerard Butler Rumors
Moakler shared that a misunderstanding between her and Barker over Moakler’s friendship with Gerard Butler also played a part in their divorce.
“I was going out, getting drunk. I was friends with Gerard Butler,” she said. “I saw him at the club and the paparazzi took pictures of us and made it seem like I was kissing him. I wasn’t. Travis saw it … and we never recovered.”
Moakler said that after the incident, Barker was “convinced” she had cheated on him but the pair ended up “living together” for the benefit of their kids. “We were coparents,” she explained. “We wanted to be there for our kids. Until like almost 2014.”
The twosome continued to share a home until Moakler met now-ex Brian Sollima. The duo got “serious” so she told Barker, “I can’t be living with you anymore.”
“I stopped talking to [Travis] around 2014,” she continued. “We started following each other right before [Kourtney]. We still coparent. My oldest daughter is 24. My son is 20 years old. He’s living with his girlfriend [Charli D’Amelio]. They’re all talented.”
On Why Her Marriage With Travis Barker Broke Down
“He didn’t want to be known as a couple or a reality star,” she said, referring to the exes MTV show, Meet the Barkers. “He wanted to be known as a musician. He was so punk rock. He put an end to it [the show]. I think for him, he was the star. When it became about us as a couple, I wanted to be a power couple, he didn’t want that.”
On Travis Barker and Paris Hilton
Moakler claimed that after she and Barker first separated, she and Paris Hilton had a verbal altercation at Hyde nightclub in Los Angeles. (Moakler alleged that Barker had an affair with Hilton during their marriage.)
“That was sort of the end of it all. He went to Paris,” she said. “At the time I guess he was talking to Kim too.”
Despite their problems, Moakler claimed she still helped Barker get sober after he had issues on tour. “It was like some Johnny Cash type shit,” she said. “Everyone wanted to be a rockstar. They needed him to go party and drink and meet bitches and feel cool. He had a family. We got back together and we were trying to heal over that.”

On Falling for Oscar De La Hoya
“We just looked into each other’s eyes and it was just, like, ding. That was it. We had quite a whirlwind there,” she said of her romance with Oscar La Hoya, whom she began dating in 1997. She noted that while the boxer “does drink a lot,” he’s also a “very fun” person.” (La Hoya eventually popped the question but the pair called off their engagement in 2000.)
“He loves to sing. He’s very social,” she said. “He was 25 when I met him. We were like babies.”
Moakler shared that she got pregnant with their daughter, Atiana, six months after meeting La Hoya, 50, and the twosome moved in together.
“We were madly in love,” she said. “I think our first date, like, I went to Big Bear and we took a private jet to Vegas. I remember people being like, ‘Champ, champ!’ I didn’t really know anything about the boxing world or him really. He’s very romantic. We just fell in love.”
On the Breakup With Oscar De La Hoya
Moakler claimed La Hoya did her “pretty dirty” with alleged infidelity after the birth of their daughter.
“[Atiana] was about 1 and a half, two years old. There were all these third parties,” she claimed. “He just lost his first fight. … I met him at Universal, and said, ‘Do you want this anymore?”
Moakler said that La Hoya told her they’d reset their romance after he got back from shooting Late Night With David Letterman. “It was everything I wanted to hear in that moment,” she added.
According to Moakler, La Hoya then attended the Latin Grammy Awards in Los Angeles with Mille Corretjer without giving her a heads-up.
“There he is holding hands with his now ex-wife. I just remember I lost my breath,” she recalled. “There was no backlash [publicly]. I didn’t stand a chance. The next day they had a lawyer come to the house and say, you and the baby need to move out. It just became just a shitshow whirlwind. He never called me again. He had his assistant [tell me we were done]. I really thought in that moment that my life was over.”
Moakler also claimed that she “quit everything” for La Hoya because he “did not want me working.”
On Claims Daughter Atiana Didn’t See Oscar De La Hoya Until She Was ‘About 16’
Moakler recalled an alleged conversation about child support after her split from La Hoya.
“He said, I won’t see you or the baby until she’s 16 [if she sued him for palimony],” she claimed. “He got out of the car, I’ll never forget this, and he goes, I have more money than God. Don’t be too hard on me. And he left. I cried. I sued him for palimony, and I won. I really didn’t have a choice.”
She added, “He didn’t see the baby and I until she was about 16. She didn’t know her father growing up. They’ve made amends. He’s made amends with me. He’s apologized.”
Feuding family. Shanna Moakler and her two children with ex Travis Barker are no strangers to butting heads on social media. The former pageant queen gave birth to son Landon and daughter Alabama in 2003 and 2005, respectively. She and the Blink 182 rocker went on to briefly split in 2006 after two years of […]
On Her Relationship With Her Children
“I have a great relationship with my kids,” she said. “Parental alienation is a real thing. I raised all my kids and I did a good job. My kids and I never had any bumps in the road until my ex-husband [Travis] started dating a Kardashian crew. I’m very confident in who I am as a mother. I’m very close with my kids.”

“I didn’t know who Blink-182 was,” she explained. “He was in the middle of a divorce [from first wife Melissa Kennedy]. I was like, ‘I don’t want to deal with a guy going through a divorce,” she recalled. “Then the next week [I went back]. Travis was there again. This time, he came up to me, and I said, ‘What’s your sign’ or something like that. We went back to his hotel, listening to music.”
Moakler shared that when the pair kissed, she thought, “Holy shit, I just met the love of my life” and she got pregnant six months later. “Travis is definitely more the love of my life in more ways than Oscar,” she shared.
Both People and Entertainment Tonight reported on Sunday, December 17, that the pair recently split. Neither Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio), 29, nor the model, 28, have publicly commented on the split.
The following month, Bad Bunny explained why he wanted to keep the romance under wraps. “I know something is going to come out,” he told Rolling Stone. “I know [people are] going to say something. People know everything about me, so what’s left for me to protect? My private life, my personal life.”
Bad Bunny and Kendall JennerJacopo M. Raule/Getty Images for Gucci
While many celeb couples have gone the distance in Hollywood, other romances haven’t stood the test of time. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott sparked an on-again, off-again relationship in 2017, welcoming two children: daughter Stormi and a son, whose name they have yet to reveal, in February 2018 and February 2022, respectively. Us Weekly broke […]
When pressed to define his relationship with Jenner on the record, he said, “That’s the only answer. In the end, the only thing I have is my privacy.”
One month earlier, a source told Us Weekly that Jenner saw “long-term potential” with Bad Bunny, noting that she “feels like he’s the complete package and he treats her like a total gentleman.”
Jenner was “really attracted” to Bad Bunny’s confidence, according to the insider. “They are having a great time together, and she appreciates that he gets along with all of her friends,” the source said. “They complement each other on so many levels and she’s enjoying getting to know him better every day.”
A second insider told Us in August that the pair’s “connection has grown even stronger” since the early days of their romance. “Kendall has been getting much closer with Bad Bunny over the past several months,” the source revealed. “Things were more casual when they first started dating, but after a short period of time she saw long-term potential in their relationship.”
Keeping things casual! Kendall Jenner has been linked to many famous musicians and athletes over the years and has managed to keep most of her romances private. From singers Harry Styles and Nick Jonas to basketball stars Ben Simmons and Devin Booker, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s dating history is made up of […]
The couple worked together in September after they were both tapped by Gucci creative director Sabato De Sarno to star in his debut Gucci Valigeria campaign. They sat together in the front row of the Gucci fashion show in Milan later that month.

Weeks later, Jenner traveled to New York City to support her boyfriend as he pulled double duty on Saturday Night Live. The SNL afterparty was their last public outing.
Prior to dating Bad Bunny, Jenner was in a relationship with Devin Booker on and off for nearly two years. Usconfirmed the duo’s split in November 2022. Bad Bunny seemingly shaded the Phoenix Suns player, 27, in March in his song “Coco Chanel,” with the translated lyrics, “But the sun in Puerto Rico is hotter than in Phoenix / She knows it.”
Jessica Simpson made a major hair change to gain back confidence after her split from ex-husband Nick Lachey.
“I chopped it all off,” Simpson, 43, shared during a Tuesday, December 5, interview with Footwear News. “I was going through a divorce. I just wanted to wear something that was very me.”
The singer, who was taking a look back at some of her most iconic Y2K, revisited her short blonde bob and a purple dress from 2006, which she wore while promoting her album A Public Affair. She paired the ensemble with boots from her own shoewear brand.
“And then I wore a Jessica Simpson Collection boot,” she explained. “I just thought it was fun that you could fold them over, you know? Maybe that will come back one day, but it’s a little Renaissance or something.”
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey may have been loved by millions of viewers during their time on Newlyweds, but behind-the-scenes, their relationship was hardly wedded bliss. Simpson, who met Lachey when she was 18 years old, detailed the pair’s romance, reality TV days and divorce in her new memoir, Open Book, which was released on […]
Simpson began dating Lachey in 1999 when she was 18 years old. After an off-and-on romance, they tied the knot in October 2002. Their marriage was then chronicled on MTV’s Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, which ran for three seasons from August 2003 to March 2005. Nine months after the series finale, Simpson filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
In her February 2020 memoir, Open Book, Simpson detailed her life with Lachey and how it felt for her relationship in exist in the public eye. “The thing about falling in love with someone in a boyband is that you’re not alone,” she wrote about her early days of dating 98 Degrees singer. “There are a lot of girls out there who had already complied all the details on Nick Lachey.”
Simpson also opened up about how her desire to portray her relationship with Lachey as “perfect” while in front of the cameras.

“I didn’t mind if I looked dumb, but I wanted people to see the fairy tale in Nick. In us,” Simpson explained. “I had the Instagram-girlfriend syndrome before it was a thing, and I wanted the world to see my husband in the best light because I was hopelessly in love with him.”
Simpson noted that after a while, filming Newlyweds became akin to playing a character. “We had become actors in our own lives, playing ourselves,” she continued. “Worse, we slowly started acting out our parts even when cameras weren’t rolling.”
By the time production picked up for season 3, Simpson said she was “sick of lying” about her marriage, adding that Lachey told the crew to “stop rolling” so often that the show’s final episode was nothing more than a montage of clips. “It was bizarre, and I never watched it,” she said. “We finished our run and fulfilled the contract.”
Happy birthday, Jessica Simpson! On Friday, July 10, the singer said goodbye to her 30s for good. The 40-year-old mom of three preemptively celebrated her big day by slipping into a pair of 14-year-old jeans. Goals! From pop princess to reality TV star to billion-dollar businesswoman, the mom of three has worn many hats over the […]
When asked in April 2022 if she would change anything about filming the reality series with her ex, Simpson said she had no regrets. “I mean, if anything, it was great TV. It was very real, and Nick and I actually had a lot of fun,” she added. “We got to do a lot of things we might not have done otherwise.”
After their divorce, Simpson moved on with Eric Johnson. The couple tied the knot in July 2014 and welcomed daughters Maxwell, and Birdie, in May 2012 and March 2019, respectively. Their son, Ace, arrived in June 2013. Lachey, for his part, wed Vanessa Lachey in July 2011 and the pair share three kids: Camden, 13, Brooklyn, 8, and Phoenix, 6.

In November 2014, Lachey said he was happy he and Simpson didn’t have kids together before going their separate ways, calling it the “best thing that could have happened” to either of them.
All in the past. Vanessa and Nick Lachey have been married for over a decade, but they’re not afraid to reminisce about the beginning of their relationship — which began shortly after Nick’s divorce from Jessica Simpson. The NCIS: Hawai’i star and the 98 Degrees singer bumped into each other several times while they both […]
“Look, you’re always going to love your kids no matter how you feel about their other parent, but all things being equal, it was the best thing probably for both of us that we went on with our lives,” he told Jenny McCarthy while appearing on a November 2014 episode of her SiriusXM show. “She’s obviously happily married with two and I’m happily married and about to have two so it all worked out the way it was kind of meant to work out.”
Kroy Biermann’s attorney Marlys A. Bergstrom has filed a lien against him for alleged unpaid bills amid his divorce from estranged wife Kim Zolciak-Biermann.
In documents filed and obtained by Us Weekly on Monday, December 4, Bergstrom’s law firm of Stearns, Montgomery & Proctor filed a Consent Attorney’s Lien in the amount of $801.01 against “all recoverable property” of Biermann’s “upon any judgments and decrees recoverable” in his divorce against Zolciak-Biermann, 45. (Liens are legal tools used to protect the interests of creditors and other people who are owed money by property owners, according to Forbes.)
The filing states that the “unpaid amount of fees and services” include Biermann’s ongoing legal matters through November 15, “including any interest that may have accrued pursuant” to Biermann’s August 24 agreement with the firm.
According to the documents, interest on the lien will “continue accusing” at the rate of one and a half percent on “all months due” until Stearns, Montgomery & Proctor is “paid in full for legal services performed and expenses incurred” on behalf of Biermann “in the above-styled matter as provided by law and with the express written consent” of Biermann.
Kim Zolciak-Biermann and estranged husband Kroy Biermann faced legal drama — and possible foreclosure — ahead of their 2023 split. Us Weekly confirmed in February 2023 that the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum and her then-spouse’s Georgia mansion was in foreclosure, after Zolciak-Biermann denied in November 2022 that she was having legal trouble. Zolciak-Biermann and […]
“No person shall be at liberty to satisfy any judgment or decree in this action until the lien of the Firm is satisfied,” the filing continues, noting that the lien “attaches to all recoverable assets” including but not limited to Biermann’s “money” and “personal or real property,” which includes his shared Georgia home with Zolciak-Biermann.
Both Biermann and Zolciak-Biermann, who tied the knot in 2011, filed for divorce in May but quickly reconciled that July. Biermann then filed for divorce a second time in August, stating that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.” The exes have since been caught up in a messy legal battle.
In his August filing, Biermann asked for full legal and physical custody of their minor children — Kroy “KJ” Jr., 12, Kash, 11, and twins Kaia and Kane, 9 – as well as exclusive access to their Georgia residence, which he put on the market days later. (Biermann also adopted Zolciak-Biermann’s two eldest daughters, Brielle, 26, and Ariana, 22.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two months later, she revealed that she was searching for “transparency, openness and communication” from a partner.
While many celeb couples have gone the distance in Hollywood, other romances haven’t stood the test of time. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott sparked an on-again, off-again relationship in 2017, welcoming two children: daughter Stormi and a son, whose name they have yet to reveal, in February 2018 and February 2022, respectively. Us Weekly broke […]
“I didn’t really know myself, I didn’t really know what I liked, what I didn’t like. I just feel like I hadn’t really experienced life,” she recalled on Bumble’s Luv2SeeIt YouTube series of feeling uneasy in a past relationship. “So, at that point I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to date on my terms.’ However, I want to move, whatever I want to do, I’m going to do it. And if it’s no longer serving me, I’m going to move on.”
Sophia Bushopened up about how her most “interesting paranormal experience” involved ex-boyfriend Austin Nichols.
“Back in the early days of our show [One Tree Hill], all of us were partnered and then I very publicly was not,” Bush, 41, shared on a Thursday, October 26, episode of the “Drama Queens” podcast, seemingly referring to her split with Chad Michael Murray. “The first date I went on was with a very sweet boy named Austin Nichols when I was 23. We dated on and off for years.”
The actress went on to explain to her podcast cohosts Hilarie Burton Morgan and Bethany Joy Lenz that Nichols, 43, joined the cast of One Tree Hill after he told Bush that he’s “not going to let [her] tell him that they can’t date because the long distance was too hard.”
“Bold, gorgeous, romantic gesture,” Bush gushed. “We laugh about it all the time. We’re still good friends.”

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

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

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

While speaking to Rolling Stonein 2017, he expanded on his thoughts further, telling the outlet, “I’m lucky if everything [we went through] helped create those songs. That’s what hits your heart. That’s the stuff that’s hardest to say, and it’s the stuff I talk least about. That’s the part that’s about the two people.”
Swift and Styles have seemingly remained on good terms since their split — often seen chatting it up at awards shows over the years — and have both gone on to date other A-list stars. Swift was linked to Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris and Joe Alwynbefore moving on withTravis Kelceearlier this year. Styles, meanwhile, split from Olivia Wilde in November 2022 after nearly two years of dating. In June, he sparked romance rumors with Taylor Russell after the twosome were spotted together in London.
While working on a project together, Dean McDermott and Lily Calo’s relationship recently turned romantic, a source reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.
“It became clear things were over with Tori [Spelling], and one thing led to another,” the insider says of the new couple, who sparked relationship speculation in early October. A second source notes that McDermott, 56, and Spelling, 50, are “separated [so] Dean is free to date who he wants.”
The estranged couple aren’t opposed to working together down the line, either, according to the second source — who tells Us, that there are “talks” that McDermott and Spelling would “jump at the chance to do a reality show.”
Both McDermott and Spelling “love publicity” and with “so much fantastic footage to include” from their recent estrangement, the insider adds that a new series isn’t off the table.
Tori Spellingand Dean McDermott have been making headlines since their scandalous start.

The Beverly Hills,90210 alum and McDermott didn’t publicly address the split declaration, but a source exclusively told Us in June that they were “not getting a divorce” and “have been better than ever.”
However, McDermott seemed to confirm the breakup earlier this month when he was spotted holding hands with Calo outside the Department of Social Services’ West Valley office in Chatsworth, California, on October 10. One week later, McDermott was photographed kissing Calo while dropping her off at Los Angeles International Airport.
Her very own troop from Beverly Hills!

“Tonight’s Dance on @dancingwiththestars is about life and how it’s not always perfect and when you think it’s impossible to move mountains and you’re at your lowest moment and you think all doors are closed you need to rise up and rise unafraid and move mountains,” Umansky, 53, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, October 24, ahead of the ABC series’ latest episode. “My time was 1996 when Kyle and I got married and Alexia was born.”
Richards, 54, was already the mother of daughter Farrah, 34, whom she shares with ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie, when she met Umansky. The Buying Beverly Hills star recalled the early days of his marriage to Richards as difficult, in part because money was super tight.
“We had Farrah and Alexia. I was 26 when I was fired from my job and was broke,” Umansky recalled. “Kyle was my rock and together we rose up and we rose up 1000 x and we moved mountains a lot of them. It’s been an incredible journey. Tonight’s dance is dedicated to Kyle and my Family.”
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have shared insight into their sudden split after 27 years of marriage.

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

“We’re in the middle of dealing with our life and our marriage and we have not thrown in the towel,” he explained. “We are still working on it. And it’s hard and it’s hard in the public eye and it’s hard while everybody’s asking because the reality is that when a couple’s going through the times that we’re going through right now, what you need is time.”
Umansky went on to say that he and Richards “do not know” what the future of their relationship looks like. “We’re not hiding anything,” he continued. “We legitimately do not know what that looks like.”
A Real Housewives success story. Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky were married for more than two decades before shocking fans with their separation in 2023.

A source exclusively tells Us Weekly that those close to McDermott, 56, and Spelling, 50, believe “they’re headed for divorce” and that “it’s been that way for a while.” The update comes less than two weeks after McDermott was seen holding hands with Lily Calo while entering the Department of Social Services in West Valley on October 10.
McDermott and Calo were spotted together again on Tuesday, October 17, at LAX airport. In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the pair exchanged kisses as the former Chopped Canada host unloaded Calo’s luggage from the back of his car,

McDermott deleted the post hours after his initial upload. Although neither he nor Spelling have publicly addressed their marital woes since, a second source told Us in August that financial stress has been weighing heavily on their family.
The insider noted that the twosome tend to “spend money like they’ll never run out of it,” which has put Spelling in a tough financial spot with her money troubles “catching up with her.”
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have announced they’re separating after 27 years of marriage. The news comes by way of a statement to People: “We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.
“Our family has been and always will be our highest priority,” the joint statement reads. “We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”
In the event that you have follow-up questions, don’t. The pair concludes the statement with: “This is the sole statement either of us will make.”
They met while appearing on Australian TV show Corelli in 1995 and were married less than a year later. Furness was well-known in Australia when they met, and Jackman has since become an international star, known for his work in film and theater. He played Wolverine in the X-Men franchise and recently starred in The Greatest Showman. He also recently performed in The Music Man on Broadway.
They share two children, Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18. The last public appearance they made together was in July at the Wimbledon men’s finals.
