Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello: The Way They Were

It’s safe to say that Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello were easily one of  Hollywood’s sexiest couples, but they also have the sweetest romance.

Us Weekly broke the news in July 2014 that the twosome were an item. At the time, an insider revealed that they were introduced at that year’s White House Correspondents Dinner — an event she attended with her then-fiancé Nick Loeb.

“As we’re walking around, who comes swooping down in front of us for about 100 yards is Sofia Vergara,” Manganiello said of their first encounter on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show in April 2020. “She was wearing this dress that looked great on her, and I just could not take my eyes off of her.”

Manganiello proposed to the Modern Family alum on Christmas Day in 2014. The couple tied the knot in November 2015 at The Breakers Palm Beach resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Throughout their seven-year marriage, the couple were known for packing on the PDA and gushing over each other’s stunning looks.

In July 2023, however, Manganiello and Vergara announced in a joint statement that their marriage was over.

There are so many stars that have appeared in Disney Channel Original Movies over the years — but what happened to some of the network’s biggest leading ladies? Us has the full rundown about what your favorite teen idols are up to now.

‘The Parent Trap’ 1998 Cast: Where Are They Now?

More than three decades after Hayley Mills wooed fans in 1961’s The Parent Trap, Disney rebooted the classic and produced an equally as big box office hit.

The 1998 film, which starred Lindsay Lohan as identical twins, Annie James and Hallie Parker, followed the sisters after they are reunited while attending the same Camp Walden summer camp ahead of their 12th birthday.

In addition to introducing a new generation to the separated-after-birth story line, the reboot gave life to Elaine Hendrix (who played Meredith Blake) and Lisa Ann Walter’s (housekeeper Chessy) real-life friendship.

“I think it would be really fun if we were pursuing the story [of Chessy and Martin]. Because people all the time are like, ‘Why is there not a 2? Not a remake, but a Parent Trap where the Lindsay character grows up and they’re twins and they have to get Martin and Chessy back together,” Walter exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2022. “People will come up with story ideas like that. … And of course [I’d love if] somehow Meredith is involved just because I would die to do another version of working with Elaine in those roles.”

She added: “My best friend is Elaine and we kind of got hit at the 20-year reunion mark [with new fans] because of the fact that they air it so frequently and new generations find it.”

Lohan portrayed both Annie and Hallie Parker in the Disney film. She went on to star in Get a Clue, Freaky Friday, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls, Just My Luck and Georgia Rule. After years of personal struggles — she appeared in court several times amid substance abuse issues — the New York native revived her career with a recurring role on 2018’s Sick Note. She also released new music in 2020, her first single in 12 years, called “Back to Me.” Lohan followed up her own reality series, Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club, by making a deal with Netflix to star in multiple movies, including 2022’s Falling for Christmas. The former child star ended her engagement to Egor Tarabasov in 2016. She moved on with Bader Shammas, who proposed in November 2021. Us confirmed in July 2022 that Lohan and Shammas secretly tied the knot nearly one year after getting engaged. In March 2023, Lohan told Us that she and Shammas were expecting their first child. Four months later, Lohan’s rep confirmed to Us that the couple welcomed a baby boy, Luai, and they were “over the moon.”

Celebrity-approved products often seem completely out of reach. They work wonders on stars and reportedly solve all of your skincare issues, but come at a daunting cost.

Cole and Dylan Sprouse Through the Years: ‘Suite Life’ and Beyond

Cole Sprouse and Dylan Sprouse have been captivating audiences since they were babies — and they don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

The Italian-born brothers have been acting since the early ‘90s, earning their big break with 1999’s Big Daddy split role of Julian.

It wasn’t until Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zack & Cody that they started to branch off and play separate roles. The duo shot to superstardom for their portrayal of twin brothers Zack and Cody from 2005 to 2008.

The siblings took a break from Hollywood to go to college and have yet to reunite for a project.

“It’s more likely that I will write something for us to work in together, rather than someone approach us,” Dylan exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2020 of what it’ll take to work with Cole again. “Twin movies are never good! That’s just the universal truth I think the universe has given to us, and so if we can find the right thing then, yeah.”

Scroll down to relive the Sprouse twins’ ups and downs over the years:

The duo shot to fame in 2005 after The Suite Life of Zack & Cody premiered on Disney Channel. Dylan and Cole played twins Zack and Cody, respectively, who lived in the Tipton Hotel and got into mischief alongside fellow hotel guests and residents. The series ended in 2008 after three seasons.

The twosome took a break from acting to attend college from 2011 to 2015. Cole graduated from New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a degree in archeology. Dylan, for his part, focused on video game design before walking alongside his brother in May 2015. Both men graduated with honors.

During his time at NYU, Cole began experimenting with photography, sharing some of his work via social media. He has since launched a professional website and has shot magazine spreads, landscapes and personal life moments. In 2017, he photographed Kendall Jenner for The Sunday Times, Sophie Turner for W Magazine and Sam Smith for L’Uomo Vogue.

Cole made his TV comeback in 2017, landing the role of Jughead Jones on The CW’s Riverdale. The seventh and final season of the series will premiere in 2023.

In 2018, Dylan opened the All-Wise Meadery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, after experimenting with beermaking in college. By 2020, the company was distributing product in Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and New York. One year later, the mead became available in select locations in Hungary.

Cole made his Met Gala debut in May 2018 alongside then-girlfriend Lili Reinhart and turned heads the following year for their couple style. When the fashion event returned in May 2022 after a one-year hiatus amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Cole stepped out solo on the carpet, causing a stir among fans who loved his look.

Dylan began dating Victoria’s Secret model Barbara Palvin in summer 2018. They celebrated their two-year anniversary in June 2020 with a remote getaway to Yosemite National Park.

Two years after returning to Hollywood, Cole starred alongside Haley Lu Richardson in 2019’s Five Feet Apart. His next movie role came in 2022 with Moonshot.

Cole dated his Riverdale costar Reinhart on and off from 2017 to 2020. “Lili and I initially separated in January of this year, deciding to more permanently split in March,” he wrote via Instagram in August 2020, confirming the breakup. “What an incredible experience I had, I’ll always feel lucky and cherish that I had the chance to fall in love. I wish her nothing but the utmost love and happiness moving forward. All I’ll say about it, anything else you hear doesn’t matter.”

Dylan has continued to find success on the big screen starring in 2020’s After We Collided and both Tyger Tyger and The Curse of the Turnadot in 2021.

Cole produced and starred in the “Borrasca” podcast from May to July 2020. The narrative podcast was written and created by Rebecca Klingel a.k.a. CK Walker based on her novel by the same name. In March 2022, it was announced that season 2 would be coming later that year.

Cole sparked relationship speculation in February 2021 when he stepped out with Ari Fournier in Vancouver, Canada. The model seemingly confirmed the romance in August of that year while paying tribute to Cole on his birthday.

Dylan’s first comic book, Sun Eater, was published in July 2021 by Heavy Metal. The nine-issue saga was centered in ninth century Norway. “I love fantasy-action and I wanted to create something that would appeal to newer fans of the genre while tackling an elevated story,” the author told Heavy Metal ahead of the first issue drop. “The characters I wrote are from actual tales and bardic songs, and the story is about the adult, dark, grotesque, and somber world of Sun Eater and its desperate, faulty protagonist. While I have been actively writing Sun Eater for years, the culmination of the content rings especially true for me now, at this stage of my life.”

The brothers attended the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in March 2022 together one week after they stepped out with their girlfriends, Fournier and Palvin, for the Los Angeles premiere of Moonshot.

The twins celebrated their 30th birthday in August 2022. Cole joked via Instagram, “Make sure you say happy birthday to @dylansprouse 15 minutes before me, before sharing a poignant statement about how far he’s come over the past three decades. “Feeling very privileged to be going into this new phase of my life with all my ducks finally in a row. Happiest I’ve been in a very long time. Glad to say I’ve chugged through the commercial pursuits of my 20s in order to build a solid and stable platform,” the Riverdale star wrote. “I’ve clarified what it is I truly want from this career I was placed into, and for the first time, feel truly grateful to have worked so much of my life. Film, television, and celebrity is not known for safeguarding its young talent, and I’m so glad I’ve surrounded myself with trusted friends and family in order to help me when I’ve stumbled.” He continued: “Today I’m on set starting pre-production of Lisa Frankenstein, a passion project that sees real my childhood dream of playing a creature on film. The scared and skeptical 10-year-old Cole might actually be proud of the person he’s become. Loving you all very much today, and rarely enough, feeling love for myself. Here’s to 30.” Cole also gave his brother a shout-out, writing, “Also, happy birthday to @dylansprouse too I guess.” Dylan returned the favor via his Instagram Story, sharing a snap of the siblings chatting with one another on their special day. “Happy birthday to Old king Cole,” Dylan wrote. “May your beard be thick and your coin purse thicker love you. We made it.”

Cole claimed during a March 2023 episode of the “Diary of a CEO” podcast that mother Melanie Wright was a “tortured artist” and “narcissist” who struggled with “mental illness” and “drug abuse."  The Five Feet Apart star also shared why his mom pushed the twins into acting at a young age.  “I think she found a tremendous amount sense of self-identity through motherhood and tried to turn it into a profitable business at the same time, which for identical twin boys going into acting is [an] economic loophole — there are labor laws that can be incredibly profitable, so that’s what she did,” he shared.  “It made a lot of financial sense for her to put us into acting. I think it satisfied some sort of narcissism she probably had in order to be recognized as this sort of artistic success.”  Cole added that the entertainment industry “broke” his mom — who is now estranged from both twins — and the court “had to step in” and send the boys to their father, Matthew Sprouse. “This industry in very many ways encourages the worst qualities of you as a person … narcissism, selfishness, greed. A lot of these things that we have come to know as cardinal sins,” he explained. “It’s one of those things that encouraged a kind of selfishness that’s directly opposed to the very fundamental idea of motherhood.”

Dylan announced his engagement to Palvin via social media in June 2023. The couple’s revelation coincided with a joint interview for V magazine, in which they confirmed that they had been engaged since September 2022. During the interview, which was conducted by Cole, the pair teased that their wedding will take place in Hungary. “I’m nervous about the event,” Dylan told his brother at the time. “Frankly, it’s about the first dance. I’m nervous about a choreographed dance.” Cole joked, “Why? Is it because you can’t dance? At all?” His sibling confessed, “I’m not a good dancer. And I’m nervous about remembering the steps.” The following month, Dylan wed Palvin in her home country.

Cole received support from Dylan and their respective significant others, Fournier and Palvin, at the Hollywood premiere of his movie Lisa Frankenstein. “Got our tickets. Very proud of my brother and the very talented @zeldawilliams for this one,” Dylan wrote via Instagram at the time. “Always the dream when friends get to work together. Go see this!” The movie marked Cole’s first film since wrapping Riverdale in 2023. He plays The Creature alongside Kathryn Newton’s Lisa.

Lindsay! Selena! Disney Stars Through the Years

Lindsay Lohan, Selena Gomez and more famous faces got their start on the Disney Channel back in the day — and they’ll never forget their roots.

Gomez appeared on Wizards of Waverly Place from 2007 to 2012, and though the kids’ network helped her launch her career, she hasn’t been afraid to speak out about the darker aspects of life as a child star.

“When I was younger, it was all fun to me,” Gomez told Business of Fashion magazine in September 2017. “But when I got older, I started to become exposed to the truth behind some stuff and that’s when it flipped a little bit. I realized that, ‘Oh this is actually really hard, and kind of slimy in certain areas,’ and I didn’t realize that certain people wanted certain things from me.”

As she grew into herself, Gomez admitted that she started to feel “violated” by comments about her changing body and noticed that the focus on her became less and less “about [her] art.” Even after leaving the Disney Channel, she began to question whether or not she really wanted to be in the spotlight.

“‘Do I really love this? Is this worth it anymore?'” she said. “I would look at my crowd on tour and think, ‘Yes, this is worth it, right?’ But then I would look at myself in the mirror and I just felt like, ‘I’ve had enough, I don’t know if I can go on anymore.’ And I stopped it for a second. But it didn’t mean that I didn’t love it, I just had to find what I was going to do with it. As long as I’m healthy and happy in my mind, I’m all about it.”

Ant Anstead and girlfriend Renée Zellweger were all smiles with the HGTV personality’s older kids over the weekend.

“How it started,” Anstead, 44, wrote via his Instagram on Monday, July 17, alongside a series of photos of himself, Zellweger, 54, and his two older kids: Amelie, 19, and Archie, 16, all dressed up for a formal event. “How it ended 😂.”

The first picture has the family of 4 smiling together in their elegant evening wear. Anstead and Archie both sported a classic black tux with a bowtie. While Zellweger donned a gold glitter off-the-shoulder floor-length dress. Amelie, for her part, rocked a strapless black gown that was bedazzled with jewels on the top of the bodice.

However, the second snap was taken from inside the party as the group celebrated on the dance floor in the blurry selfie. The brood was also joined by several other partygoers in the pic.

In a later post that same day, Anstead showed some love for his two kids — whom he shares with ex-wife Louise Anstead. “These two 🥰 Absolute utter LEGENDS! ❤,” he penned the slideshow.

In addition to Amelie and Archie, Ant is also the father of son Hudson, 3, whom he shares with ex-wife Christina Hall (née Haack). After finalizing his divorce from Hall, 40, in September 2021, Ant moved on with Zellweger. (Christina, for her part, quietly married now-husband Joshua Hall in April 2022.)

Ant and Zellweger met while on the set of the Discovery+ series Celebrity IOU: Joyride which debuted in August 2021. One month before the premiere, the couple were photographed together on a balcony in Ant’s California home.

In April, Zellweger and Ant celebrated their two-year anniversary. A source told Us Weekly at the time that the pair celebrated the milestone by going on “a hike” and having “a romantic dinner.”

“Renée and Ant are happy to have found each other and it shows,” the insider said at the time. “They both want to settle down and create a home together. Renée loves how romantic, open and honest he is. She does say that it took her a while to find love again, but it was well worth the wait. She’s still giddy in love. He literally swept her off her feet.”

Ant marked the special occasion with a tribute post of his own for the Oscar winner. “Two years of magic 💫💫 x,” he captioned a series of photos via Instagram, which included a snap of the twosome packing on the PDA.

Why Olivia Rodrigo Refused to Cut 'Fame F--ker' Lyric From 'Vampire'

Why Olivia Rodrigo Refused to Cut Fame F--ker Lyric From Vampire It Was Actually a Debate 286 The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Benefit, celebrating the opening of the Karl Lagerfeld

We’re all belting Olivia Rodrigo‘s “Vampire” now, but the singer revealed her new song almost had a very different lyric.

“It was actually a debate whether or not ‘fame f–ker’ should be in the song,” Rodrigo, 20, told Audacy’s “The Julia Show” on Thursday, July 13. Some people said, ‘It kind of isolates you from people, you can’t really say things like that in song, it’s not relatable’ — yada, yada, yada, which I totally get and saw where they were coming from.”

In the chorus of her latest single, released last month, the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series alum sings, “But you made me look so naive / The way you sold me for parts / As you sunk your teeth into me, oh / Bloodsucker, fame f–ker / Bleedin’ me dry like a goddamn vampire.”

Though she had a successful career as a child actor, Rodrigo’s fame has increased exponentially since her first single, “Driver’s License,” was released in January 2021. Singing about driving past an ex’s house is a little more universal than a dating a fame-seeker. However, Rodrigo expects her listeners are smart enough to understand that the song is about more than that one line.

“I think the song isn’t about fame f–king, I think it’s more about someone being manipulative and sucking you dry, using you for all your worth,” she shared. “I think that’s a universal theme, and I also think fame is more easily accessible now than it has ever been. It’s not just people in L.A. and Hollywood that have to deal with that.”

While “fame f–ker” is in the explicit version, she belts “dream crusher” in the radio-friendly edit. Rodrigo shared a TikTok earlier this month jokingly sharing replacement options that didn’t make the cut, including “tree hugger,” “whale blubber,” “Mark Zucker” and “garlic butter.”

Vampire” is the Grammy Award winner’s first single off her second album, titled Guts. She said the song helps set the tone for what to expect on the LP.

“I just feel like it’s a good introduction to the album,” she told Audacy’s “The Julia Show.” “I feel like it’s not so far away from what I did in Sour, but it’s also introducing some new topics and new attitudes, and new sounds, and kind of hinting at a little bit of what’s the come.”

The title Guts was picked out before she even had the album written. “I had [the title picked out] actually when I was making Sour. I’m like, ‘I want the next one to be Guts.’ I had it in my head. I’m like, ‘Four letters, all caps, just like Sour.’ I love it. I just think it’s an interesting word. People use it in so many interesting contexts, like spill your guts. Hate your guts, I think is a really interesting term,” she told Apple Music earlier this month. “[It] means bravery, but it also means intuition, like listen to your gut. I just think it’s all of these things that coincidentally were things that I’ve really been thinking about in this chapter.”

Guts will be released September 8.

Ashley I. Talks Landing on 'Mars' Amid Lance Armstrong, Ariel Winter Drama

Bachelor Nation alum Ashley Iaconetti truly felt like she was living on another planet when she joined the cast of Stars on Mars following the first five celebrity eliminations — for more reasons than one.

“I did love the fact that I was asked to go halfway through because that meant that I had less time away from [my 17-month-old son], Dawson. [It] would’ve been over three weeks if I had done the entire time. So I was grateful to be a late entrance from a personal life perspective,” Iaconetti, 35, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, July 17, referring to her child with husband Jared Haibon. “But, I was awkward coming in late as well because everybody was truly cliquey and bonded.”

Iaconetti first appeared during the July 10 episode with comedian Andy Richter, NBA star Paul Pierce and celebrity chef Cat Cora. They joined former cyclist pro Lance Armstrong, Modern Family alum Ariel Winter, NFL’s Marshawn Lynch, Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon, fighter Ronda Rousey, singer Tinashe and Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Porsha Williams. (The celebrities are competing for the title of Brightest Star in the Galaxy as they live in the same space station and complete missions.)

“Everybody felt like they’re the top of their craft, you know? They’re super confident, they don’t need to make friends. But on The Bachelor, when we first walk into the Bachelor Mansion or in Paradise, we’re all like, ‘We’re here to make connections and communicate!’” Iaconetti told Us. “And it was not, like, the top priority to be like, ‘Hey Ashley, what’s your favorite food? What do you like to do? What’s your favorite movie?’ It wasn’t like that.”

The four additions to the show were also met with tension on the Red Planet as Armstrong threatened to quit the series following a debate with Winter over whether transgender athletes should compete in their own sports category.

“I didn’t see the actual initial argument,” Iaconetti told Us. “But Lance did say, like, when we first entered, ‘You’re walking into a weird time.’ But I didn’t have anything to compare it to.”

Things escalated with Armstrong and Winter as the group argued over who should lead the group’s mission.

“Then, the whole continuation where there was the argument of who’s gonna be base commander — I was just, like, ‘Wow, these people take base commander real seriously.’ Like, they’ve been entrenched in this environment for a week now,” Iaconetti told Us with a laugh, comparing the situation to how quickly contestants think they are falling for the Bachelor or Bachelorette. “It’s, like, all of a sudden a couple days in and you’re like, ‘I must find my spouse amongst this group of people. These are gonna be my friends for life and if I don’t marry one of them, I will die alone.’ [On Stars on Mars], they’re like, ‘We are on Mars and somebody must be base commander!’”

In the end, Winter got her shot at being base commander for a task that involved the group covering various holes so they wouldn’t “die from loss of oxygen.” And despite Armstrong and Lynch complaining about the actress’ tactics — which included distracting the cast with random questions — the athletes were safe from elimination. Iaconetti, however, was sent home as the group deemed her part of the task not as difficult.

Iaconetti admitted to Us that she is “torn” about her quick exit.

“I should have been part of, like, one more mission — put the suit on, really see if I could do, like, more spacey things then put my finger in a hole,” she joked. “But then at the same time, I got to go home to Dawson and I got to eat regular food.”

While she concluded she was “fine” with the situation, Iaconetti acknowledged that she got “emotional” being eliminated from a show — something she hadn’t really experienced.

“I had never been eliminated from Bachelor. … I was left in the Badlands [on Chris Soules’ season], but I never stood at a rose ceremony and got eliminated out of all the four shows that I did,” she said. “I never got eliminated in the traditional sense. So standing there being like, ‘You’re the one we want to leave,’ made me just [sad].”

Below Deck's Glenn Might 'Subconsciously' Favor Gary Over Daisy: Watch

During Peacock’s extended version of part 1 of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 reunion, Captain Glenn weighed in on the assumption that he chooses Gary King over Daisy Kelliher.

In an exclusive clip — shared with Us Weekly before the episode hits the streaming platform on Tuesday, July 18 — Andy Cohen asks Daisy if she thinks Glenn “favors” the deck team when it comes to disputes between departments.

“I don’t think Glenn favors the deck team. I think honestly — it’s a natural thing in yachting — Glenn is more affiliated with the deck team,” the chief stew explains. “He understands it more. Honestly, I don’t think he understands my department and that’s OK. It happens across multiple industries.”

Glenn, for his part, admits he may not be as aware of what the interior team is working on.

“I understand [what the stews] do. I guarantee you Daisy has forgotten more about stewing than I will ever know. And I have a better idea of what Gary is up to,” the captain says. “I love Gary, he is my man. I try not to favor him. Maybe I do subconsciously.”

Earlier in the Bravo special, which aired on Monday, July 17, Daisy addressed Glenn’s criticism toward her work ethic in season 4.

“I have learned that I am either somebody who needs reinforcement or no comment. I do not deal well when I am sleep deprived and getting negative feedback,” she shared. “For me, it just wasn’t productive. I think [Glenn could have] started with a positive. For me, the feedback just felt very miniscule and personal. It felt irrelevant.”

Glenn, for his part, argued that he wasn’t trying to bring Daisy down when he gave her feedback.

“I don’t want to say Daisy’s defensive, but I think that was my point when I said, ‘I don’t want you working harder [just smarter].’ Daisy is amazing and she works hard,” he detailed. “But I think there is a way that we can make sure that somebody is there [with the guests]. If not every moment, then in a couple of minutes. Because 15 minutes [waiting for service] is not good. That is the kind of thing I want to see improvement on.”

Glenn concluded: “That doesn’t mean I wasn’t happy overall. I love working with Daisy and I would love to work again with her in the future.”

Before season 4 started airing on Bravo in April, Daisy hinted that she found herself at odds with her boss.

“It’s hard to see it from another person’s perspective but I felt like — I don’t know if clash is the right word — but there was a lot going on. When you’ve worked together over several seasons, this isn’t the first time I’ve experienced this,” she exclusively told Us in March about her challenges with Glenn. “I’ve had this with other captains [too]. They go to me as their right hand man and ask, ‘Why isn’t this perfect?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know, you tell me.’ That kind of happened a bit [in season 4], which in hindsight was probably a bit expected.”

Part 2 of the season 4 Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion will air on Bravo at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday, July 18. Catch the extended, uncensored version of part 1 on Peacock tomorrow.

Biggest Bombshells From 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 4 Reunion

Drama from season 4 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht did not remain on board — and the cast had plenty of issues to address during the reunion.

The Bravo special, which aired its first part on Monday, July 17, centered around the challenges that Captain Glenn, Gary King and Daisy Kelliher faced during the latest charter season. A noticeable change from the season 4 finale to the reunion was the distance between Daisy and Colin MacRae.

The former couple, who started a relationship during their time on Parsifal III, did not appear to be on good terms. Daisy hinted at a falling out between her and Colin before they virtually crossed paths after filming season 4.

“I am going to leave it to the reunion. I feel like he [has the most to answer for at the reunion]. I have a lot of love for Colin, but things are complicated,” she explained on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in June when a fan asked why she unfollowed Colin on social media. “I don’t need complication on my social media.”

Before new episodes started to air in April, Daisy also discussed Gary and Colin’s overlapping interest in her. “I definitely feel like [Gary] was jealous. I think the boys — at times it did feel like I was a trophy prize [for them]. I could be completely wrong but [the way they acted felt a] bit like an ego thing going on between the two of them,” she exclusively told Us Weekly that same month. “And I was like, ‘OK, I don’t really want to be involved in this.'”

Part 2 of the season 4 Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion will air on Bravo at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, July 18.

After Andy Cohen asked whether any celebrities reached out to the season 4 cast, Daisy recalled getting messages from several Hollywood stars. "I have had a few celebrities reach out to me. I am not going to name drop. But Christina Applegate had reached out to me after I had seen her — she had a nice conversation with Captain Lee," the chief stew shared. "She's a huge fan of the show so it was really exciting. And obviously Chrissy [Teigen]."

During the first part of the reunion, Daisy put Gary on blast when she questioned his work ethic. "I think Glenn acknowledges and is aware of how much I do. But possibly he sometimes isn't aware of what Gary doesn't do. Let's put it that way," Daisy quipped. "Gary could probably manage better. He could probably lead better. This isn't about me, this is about Gary." In response, Glenn noted that Daisy had a "good point" that he didn't know everything about what happens behind the scenes. Gary, for his part, said he stood by the hard work he put into season 4.

"After the show finished filming, I went home and ended things with my boyfriend. Chase [Lemacks] and I were just there for each other and he supported me through a lot of hard times," Ileisha Dell, who had a flirty relationship with Chase, revealed at the reunion. "We kind of went back and forth. He came to Australia and I have been to America a couple of times. I even went to Charleston." The deckhand, meanwhile, admitted that his connection with Ileisha had a major factor working against them. "The reality of it is that Ileisha is one of the most amazing women I have ever met but we live on the opposite ends of the world," he added. "Australia and Charleston couldn't be farther from each other. There's nothing but love there."

Kody Brown Seen at Gwendlyn's Wedding With Ex Christine, Her Fiance: Pic

Kody Brown celebrated his daughter Gwendlyn Brown‘s marriage to Beatrice Queiroz alongside ex-wife Christine Brown and her new beau.

Christine, 51, gave fans a glimpse of the couple’s wedding via Instagram on Monday, July 17, sharing a slideshow of photos from the big day. “Welcome to the family @bxx_qu we LOVE you and we’re thrilled you and @gwendlynbrown are married!! #everlastinglove #married #sheputaringonit #blessed,” she gushed in the caption.

In the first pic, 21-year-old Gwendlyn was all smiles in her bridal gown as she posed with her siblings, including 13-year-old sister Truely. Christine’s fiancé, David Woolley, could be seen lounging in the background.

Gwendlyn and her wife enjoyed a slow dance in another snap — with Kody, 54, noticeably sitting on a bench in the corner holding a baby.

Elsewhere in the slideshow, Christine and David stood on either side of the brides at golden hour. Christine glowed in a hot pink dress with her blonde locks cascading down her shoulders. Her husband-to-be, meanwhile, opted for a more casual look in a checkered button-down shirt and jeans.

Fans initially believed Kody — who shares a total of 18 children with four women — wasn’t present on Gwendlyn’s wedding day. Gwendlyn announced via Instagram on Sunday, July 16, that she and Queiroz had tied the knot, simply celebrating the milestone with a PDA pic.

“Say hello to mrs (x2) queiroz,” she wrote.

In a second Instagram upload, Gwendlyn gave a closer look at the reception in Flagstaff, Arizona. Kody’s fourth wife, Robyn Brown, appeared in the background of a video despite questions about her presence at the celebration.

Gwendlyn’s relationship with her father has seemingly been rocky since his 2021 split from Christine. The exes — who share six children — documented their breakup on season 17 of Sister Wives, which showed Christine moving to Utah with daughter Truely.

Kody has since split from wives Meri Brown and Janelle Brown, to whom he was spiritually married, but he remains in a legal union with Robyn, 44. Since the season 17 finale aired in December 2022, Gwendlyn has been vocal about her highs and lows as a member of the famous plural family.

While rewatching past episodes of the TLC series for her YouTube channel, Gwendlyn asserted that she wasn’t taking sides between her parents as they navigated their divorce. “I was like, ‘You’re leaving? Good for you!'” she recalled in a December 2022 YouTube video of her response to Christine and Kody’s split. “She told me she was moving and divorcing my father all at the same time, so I was all hype for her.”

Along with being a vocal critic of Kody’s polygamist lifestyle, Gwendlyn has been candid about her feelings toward Robyn. “I don’t really like her as a person,” she confessed via her vlog. “Watching her [on Sister Wives] makes me like her less, for sure.”

Kody’s changing family dynamic will be explored even further during season 18 of Sister Wives, which debuts in August. In the first teaser, Kody laments about his failed marriages. “I worked so hard to do what was right,” he tells the camera. “And when you lose that, well, I should just be the devil I think I am now.”

Miranda Lambert Fan Speaks Out After Being 'Scolded' for Mid-Show Selfie

Feature Miranda Lambert Concertgoer Appalled By Singer Calling Her Out Over Taking a Selfie During Concert

Miranda Lambert made waves after calling out a concertgoer for taking a selfie mid-show — and now the fan is speaking out.

“It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place,” Adela Calin told NBC News in an interview published on Monday, July 17. “I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature and vain. But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture.”

Calin noted that she took “30 seconds at most” to snap a photo with her friends, who “took the picture quickly and were going to sit back down” before Lambert, 39, caught them.

“We just couldn’t get one good picture. We were so excited because I think we had the best seats in the house in the whole theater,” Calin added, telling the outlet she was “appalled” by Lambert’s comments.

In a video that has since gone viral, Lambert paused her performance of “Tin Man” during her Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency show on Saturday, July 15, to criticize Calin and her friends for seemingly not paying attention to her music in favor of taking photos.

“I’m gonna stop right here for a second, I’m sorry. These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song,” she said in the clip shared via TikTok after the show. “It’s pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don’t like it. At all.”

Lambert added, “We’re here to hear to some country music tonight. I’m singing some country damn music,” before motioning for Calin and her group to sit down.

Fans apparently weren’t pleased by the display, with some even leaving their seats. “Let’s go. Come one. You don’t do that to fans,” one attendee noted in the video.

Lambert’s behavior subsequently sparked a debate in the comments section. “People pay to go see you and if they want to take a picture of the memories they are making it shouldn’t make a crap!” one user argued. “They are fans who paid!!”

Another TikTok user suggested, “She could have finished her song and just said some blanket statement like ‘let’s try to be in the moment and stay off our phones’ if she felt like.”

Calin, however, didn’t appear to take the incident to heart. While sharing the concert photos via Instagram, she teased in the caption, “These are the pictures we were taking when Miranda Lambert stopped her concert and told us to sit down and not take selfies 😱.”

“Tin Man” is one of Lambert’s most heartfelt songs to date. She penned the tune following her split from ex-husband Blake Shelton after four years of marriage in 2015. Lambert has since moved on with Brendan McLoughlin, whom she wed in 2019, while Shelton, 47, married Gwen Stefani in 2021.

“I mean, how many times have we seen The Wizard of Oz? But, something that the world shares is everyone knows what the Tin Man represents; cold, and empty, and loneliness, and heartless,” Lambert said of the meaning behind her song in a June 2017 interview with iHeartRadio. “And it just opened my eyes to it even more, going through pain myself. [It was] sort of an epiphany.”

Gigi Hadid Arrested for 'Ganja'-Related Offenses in Cayman Islands

Gigi Hadid Arrested for Marijuana Possession, Fined $1000 During Cayman Islands Trip

Gigi Hadid was arrested for bringing marijuana with her on a flight to the Cayman Islands on July 10.

“Gigi was traveling with marijuana purchased legally in NYC with a medical license,” the model’s rep confirmed to E! News on Tuesday, July 18. “It has also been legal for medical use in Grand Cayman since 2017. Her record remains clear and she enjoyed the rest of her time on the island.”

Hadid, 28, was arrested with a friend, model Leah McCarthy, after arriving at Owen Roberts International Airport, according to Cayman Marl Road. Custom officials found “ganja and utensils used for the consumption of ganja” in their luggage, the local news outlet reported. It was a small amount believed to be for personal use.

While marijuana is legal in Grand Cayman, it is illegal to bring the substance in from another country. Hadid and McCarthy, 29, were arrested for “Importation of Ganja and Importation of Utensils used for the consumption of ganja.” They were brought to the Prisoner Detention Center before being released on bail.

Hadid and McCarthy were officially charged and pleaded guilty on July 12. The duo were each fined $1,000. The legal matter is now settled and no conviction was recorded.

The duo seemed to enjoy the rest of their time on vacation. The models have both shared Instagram photos lounging in bikinis in recent days.

Hadid’s legal drama was settled the same day ex Zayn Malik — with whom she shares daughter Khai, 2 — finally spoke out about his own legal woes during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

In October 2021, Us Weekly confirmed Malik was charged with four criminal offenses of harassment after an alleged dispute with Gigi’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, one month prior. Per court docs, Malik was accused of “causing mental anguish and physical pain” to Yolanda, now 59, after pushing her and shouting profanities on the Pennsylvania property. He allegedly called Gigi’s mom “a f–king Dutch slut” and told her to “stay away from [my] f–king daughter.” Malik denied the allegations but pleaded no contest. He has since completed a court-ordered anger management class and a domestic violence program.

During his recent podcast appearance, the former One Direction member said he tried to handle the situation “in the best way” by not addressing it further following his tweet stating the matter was private at the time.

“I knew what the situation was. I knew what happened, and the people involved knew what happened too,” he told Alex Cooper earlier this month. “And that’s all I really cared about. … I believe you could respect that I just didn’t want to bring attention to anything, I just wasn’t trying to get into a negative back and forth with her [or] any sort of narrative online where my daughter was going to look back and read that.”

Florence Pugh Says She Shaved Her Head to ‘Control’ Her Image on Film

Florence Pugh is on a mission to rid Hollywood of its obsession with “vanity.” 

The 27-year-old actress explained in a recent interview with Radio Times — per The Daily Mail — that she fights to “control her image” in the film industry, which is why she unveiled a completely shaved head in May. 

“I purposely chose to look like that,” she told the news outlet. “I wanted vanity out of the picture. Hollywood is very glamorous — especially for women — and it’s hard for an audience to see past that.” Pugh explained that whenever an opportunity arises to not “be glam or have a full face of makeup,” she works to “keep it that way.” 

“It helps the audience,” Pugh continued. “Vanity is gone. The only thing that people can look at then is your raw face. Even at the beginning of my career, I was always fighting to control my image. … It helps me when I’m wearing less makeup because then I’m less of a sparkly thing on screen. I feel like I’m allowed to do ugly faces, like it’s more acceptable.”

Pugh revealed at the Met Gala on May 1 that she “happily” chopped off her locks for her new film, We Live in Time. “It’s unbelievable. … I thought what is a better way to release [this hairstyle] to the world than at the Met. I’ve been keeping it under wraps for about three weeks now. It makes everything perfect.” Pugh paired the cut with a plunging white gown from Valentino. 

The look fit the “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” theme as it featured a dark bow at the center, a nod to the late designer’s love of the accessory. The actress was announced as Valentino’s newest ambassador just days before fashion’s biggest night. 

Pugh’s commitment to individualism isn’t limited to her work in film. The U.K. native is also dancing to the beat of her own drum when it comes to fashion — which helped her land her gig with Valentino.

In July 2022, Pugh made headlines when she attended the fashion house’s Haute Couture fashion show wearing a hot pink gown that exposed her nipples. The ensemble sparked major backlash, but Pugh was quick to shut the hate down. 

“Listen, I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there was no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it. Whether it be negative or positive, we all knew what we were doing,” Pugh wrote via Instagram, sharing her red carpet pics. “I was excited to wear it, not a wink of me was nervous. I wasn’t before, during or even now after.”

Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli told The New York Times earlier this year that Pugh’s unapologetic response to the negative commentary intrigued him. 

“The statement was the perfect one to embody the idea I was talking about months ago, about not having canons of beauty — but being unique and different and diverse, showing yourself in a fierce way,” Piccioli told the newspaper. “Florence was just asking for respect about a choice, which is exactly what I’m saying when I do my collection.”

J. Lo and Ben Are 'Seamlessly' Blending Families 1 Year After Wedding

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Families Have 'Blended So Seamlessly' 1 Year After Wedding
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock

Jennifer Lopez “can’t believe” she and Ben Affleck have already hit the one-year mark of their marriage, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.

“The time has absolutely flown by,” the insider says, adding that the couple’s families “have blended so seamlessly” since their surprise Las Vegas wedding.

Lopez, 53, and Affleck, 50, eloped in Sin City in July 2022 after rekindling their early aughts romance one year prior. The twosome — who were initially engaged from 2002 to 2004 — went on to celebrate their love once again with family and friends at Affleck’s Georgia estate in August.

Both Lopez and Affleck welcomed children in previous marriages. Lopez shares twins Elle and Max, 15, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck coparents Violet, 17, Seraphina 14, and Samuel, 10, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

“They love spending time with the kids as one big family,” the source tells Us of Lopez and Affleck.

Lopez and Garner, 51, have made strides in their own relationship as well. “[They] have become very friendly and everybody gets along wonderfully,” the insider says.

A second source tells Us that Lopez and Affleck have a “healthy” approach to raising their blended family and plan to celebrate the anniversary of their Georgia wedding “on a larger scale” next month.

Lopez looked back on the first anniversary of her July 2022 wedding in a new song titled “Midnight Trip to Vegas,” releasing the lyrics via her “On the JLo” newsletter on Tuesday, July 18.

“Event of the ages / Caught in the matrix / Then you whispered in my ear / Said let’s get out of here / We can disappear tonight,” she sings in the opening verse before launching into the chorus. “What about a midnight trip to Vegas / Just me and you baby / Throw the kids in the back of the pink Cadillac.”

The chorus continues: “Midnight trip to Vegas / Both our hearts are racin’ / I’ll pick you up late, we don’t have to wait / Yeah, let’s do something crazy.”

Since exchanging vows, the twosome have been candid about bringing their children together. “The transition is a process that needs to be handled with so much care,” Lopez explained in her December 2022 Vogue cover story. “They have so many feelings. They’re teens. But it’s going really well so far.”

She added: “What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can’t see with my kids because I’m so emotionally tied up.”

Earlier this year, Lopez gushed over her kids’ close bond with Affleck. “They love Ben,” she said on Today in May. “He’s a wonderful, wonderful father. And a father figure to them as well, because he has his own three beautiful children, and then there’s us.”

Affleck has been a “fantastic” stepdad to the twins, she gushed. “He really steps up to the challenge of what that is and what that means. And they love him. They love him. And they appreciate him, and so do I.”
