“You might remember Eric’s work for @iamalsorg,” Gayheart, 55, wrote via Instagram on Friday, September 11. “He worked hard to raise awareness for the ACT for ALS Bill, which could provide $500 million for ALS research, treatment access and hope for families battling this disease.”

Sharing a link to the I Am ALS petition, Gayheart encouraged her social media followers to sign their names in support of the cause.

“Please help us make sure that Congress does not continue to delay the passing of this bill,” she stated. “Click the link to sign the petition or share it with a friend. We have until Sunday to get as many signatures as we can. Getting this passed would mean the world to my family.”

Rebecca Gayheart Addresses 'Difficult Time' After Eric Dane’s Death at 53

Dane died in February at the age of 53 after a one-year battle with ALS.

“With heavy hearts, we share that Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” the actor’s family said in a statement shared with Us, announcing Dane’s death. “He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world.”

The obituary added, “Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”

Rebecca Gayheart Says She Still Has ‘No Words’ About Eric Dane’s Death

Dane was married to the Jawbreakers actress from 2004 to 2018, during which period they welcomed two daughters. Gayheart later withdrew her petition for divorce in 2025 after Dane was diagnosed with ALS.

“We’re still best friends, but we’re not together. We still love each other deeply,” Dane recalled of his dynamic with Gayheart in his posthumous Famous Last Words interview, released on Netflix hours after his death. “I just think we don’t want to live with each other, but there’s a lot of love there.”

He added at the time, “I will never, by the time anybody sees this, have fallen in love with another woman as deeply as I fell in love with Rebecca. She’s the mother of my children. I think Rebecca was more willing to show up and do her part than I was. I don’t have that gene [that] just makes you want to keep going regardless of what’s happening. I’m like, ‘If there’s a hole in the boat, don’t try to patch the hole. Scuttle the damn thing and go find a new one.’ … Rebecca’s a fighter and she perseveres.”

Searchlight Pictures announced via Instagram on Saturday, September 12, that Keaton’s onscreen brood would all return for a follow-up film.

“The Families Stone,” a caption read, teasing the sequel’s title. “Coming Soon.”

Searchlight shared that Claire Danes, Rachel McAdams, Dermot Mulroney, Craig T. Nelson , Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Tyrone Giordano, Elizabeth Reaser, Paul Schneider and Brian J. White are all set to return for the highly anticipated flick.

‘The Family Stone’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

The new film is expected to take place 20 years after the OG movie, released in 2005. Deadline further reports that the Stone family will reunite for Christmas to find their father (played by Nelson) has invited his new love interest to join the celebrations.

In the original film, son Everett (Mulroney) famously brought his girlfriend, Meredith (Parker), home for the holidays. After a week of hijinks, Meredith ended up falling in love with Everett’s brother Ben (Wilson). Keaton, who died in October 2025 at the age of 79, portrayed matriarch Sybil in The Family Stone, whose character died after a battle with terminal cancer at the end of the first movie.

The Families Stone will be written and directed by Thomas Bezucha, who also helmed the first film. Bezucha, 62, previously revealed that the sequel will serve as a poignant tribute to Keaton’s legacy.

“I’ve been haunted by the loss of Sybil for months now while I worked on it, and so this was a blow on a tender bruise already,” Bezucha told CNN in November 2025, sharing his plans for the sequel to “honor” the late Annie Hall actress. “Mentally, I’ve been spending time in that house where I’ve been missing her for a while already.”

While further details have yet to be announced, Wilson, 54, recently teased that he was excited to return.

“I can’t believe it’s happening, but it is,” Wilson gushed to Entertainment Tonight in July. “Tom Bezucha is a great writer and a great director, and I read the script, and it’s really funny, and it’s so nice that everybody wants to work together again.”

Sarah Jessica Parker Recalls 'Scary' Scene in 'Family Stone' With Diane Keaton

The Hawk star added, “I think you know, after the death of Diane Keaton, it’ll be even more meaningful because she was so great to be around on the first one.”

Wilson has previously been candid about his experience filming the first Family Stone movie.

“We did wind up spending more time together and had a couple of nice dinners. It’s very helpful,” Wilson recalled to Us exclusively in 2021 of the pre-production process. “Diane, we all kind of admired her. And in my mind, here’s Sarah Jessica and she’s sort of this icon of fashion and humor from Sex and the City and then here’s the original icon of fashion and humor — Diane. … I just remember those being kind of exciting [feelings] where you’re going to dinner alone meeting all these people.”

Court documents obtained exclusively by Us reveal that Zolciak’s estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, was ordered to pay more than $64,000 in connection with his gambling debt following a November 2021 trip to the Bahamas. He defaulted, so now the company is coming to collect in his home state of Georgia.

Sky Warrior, which handles the credit lines at the Baha Mar Casino in the Bahamas, filed a request to transfer the case from New Jersey to the Peach State in December 2025, and a Fulton County judge signed off on March 17.

“The foreign judgment awards [Sky Warrior] the sum of $52,500, plus prejudgment interest, together with $11,927.35 in attorneys’ fees and costs,” the ruling read from earlier this year.

Additional court documents show that Biermann, 40, was served the post-judgment order at his Georgia home on August 28 — just days after KJ’s arrest on August 17.

Us reached out to Biermann’s attorney for comment.

The former NFL player turned Bravolebrity was sued in 2023 over the $100,000 line of credit he obtained from Sky Warrior to use at Baha Mar Casino. The company claimed he spent $52,500 in chip markers to gamble and failed to pay it back before leaving, despite claiming he had money in his SunTrust bank account for repayment.

“Despite multiple demands, Biermann has failed and refused to pay the Outstanding Amount,” the original lawsuit stated. “Biermann’s refusal to pay… constitutes a breach of the Credit Agreement.”

Biermann and Zolciak’s money woes date back years before their final divorce filing in February 2025. (Their divorce case is still ongoing.)

The exes and their family were even forced out of their Alpharetta home by U.S. marshals in April 2025.

As Us previously reported, Zolciak, 48, is also facing six-figure debt following two separate ongoing lawsuits, in which she’s accused of not paying a credit card bill and failing to repay a $131,000 business loan.

Biermann and Zolciak are also dealing with legal trouble involving their son, which only got worse when new allegations of his alleged behavior were brought to light at his bond hearing on Friday, September 11.

Kim Zolciak’s Faces $150K in Alleged Unpaid Debts Amid Son KJ's Arrest

Prosecutors accused KJ, 15, of having sex with an underage relative. They claimed investigators allegedly uncovered footage on his phone that showed him and an unidentified family member under the age of 12 engaging in sexual activity, according to Page Six.

The outlet also reported that investigators discovered “multiple encounters” where KJ allegedly used “predatory [and] derogatory” language toward the underage family member. The incident had not been publicly reported, with prosecutors now planning to press charges.

KJ’s attorney, Jason Sheffield, denied the allegations against his client after the hearing, telling TMZ: “The characterizations made in court regarding the prior juvenile matter involving KJ Biermann grossly misrepresent both the facts and the ultimate resolution of that case.”

Sheffield added, “The matter arose from inappropriate, crude behavior involving two middle-schoolers.”

As Us previously reported, KJ was arrested in August for aggravated sexual assault and aggravated sodomy after an alleged incident with a female student in a local gym sauna. At the time, Sheffield denied any wrongdoing on his client’s behalf.

The teen was then indicted on September 3 for aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment and three counts of sexual battery against a child under the age of 16.

What to Know About Kim Zolciak's Son KJ's Arrest for Sexual Assault

Zolciak fiercely defended her son after his arrest.

“The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling. He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged,” she told Us in a statement on August 21. “My son voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed. Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found.”

Zolciak added, “We remain confident that the facts and evidence will establish the truth, and we ask that people allow the proper process to take its course rather than spreading unproven allegations.”

Following Friday’s hearing, the judge granted KJ’s bond, setting it at $200,000.

Us obtained his bond conditions, which will require KJ to wear an ankle monitor and remain confined to his mom’s home.

“People may not realize how much work Celine put in to fight this condition and to regain her strength and mobility,” a source exclusively tells Us. “It has been constant, consistent work.”

Dion, 58, announced in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological condition that causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms, one year earlier. The singer, who detailed her health battle in the 2024 documentary I Am: Céline Dion, subsequently canceled her 2023 Courage World Tour in order to focus on her health.

Dion announced in March, on her 58th birthday, that she would return to the stage for a limited run of 10 shows in September and October. She quickly added six additional concerts due to enormous demand. The performances begin Saturday, September 12, at Paris’ La Défense Arena.

Celine Dion Working on Her 'Body and Soul' Amid Stiff Person Syndrome Battle

Throughout her health scare, the insider tells Us that Dion “was always putting in the work” to connect with doctors and specialists who could help.

“There were many years of figuring out what was going on, that alone can be very daunting, and then to find the right people to help you,” the insider adds, acknowledging that Dion has faced “highs and lows” like fans saw in her documentary. “There were very low, emotional times [of her] thinking, ‘What is happening? Why is this happening? Will I get to the other side of this?’”

Without giving up, the source reveals that Dion has started seeing “such great results with her rehabilitation.”

“She is physically so strong and has done so much hard work to get here. She trains almost every day on top of physical therapy,” the insider tells Us. “Céline is incredibly resilient and strong-willed, but she is also very tender and playful. She can laugh at herself and her circumstances.”

Celine Dion's Sister Gives Update on Stiff-Person Syndrome Diagnosis

As Dion takes the stage once more, the insider tells Us that her preparation “has been an incredible labor of love.”

“Trust that Céline would never have taken this on if she didn’t feel she could deliver,” the source states. “It has grown beyond her expectations, which is really incredible. I am not sure her fans understand the commitment behind this. It is going to be spectacular.”

Through it all, Dion has surrounded herself “with people who love her and make her feel safe.”

“She has a small circle,” the source adds. “But, they are people who have been with her for many years and are like family.” (Dion’s inner circle includes her three sons, René-Charles, 25, and twins Nelson and Eddy, both 15, whom the music icon shared with late husband René Angélil.)

Evans, 47, took on the Dr. Frank-N-Furter role for his 2026 Broadway debut — a role made famous by Curry in the original 1975 film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in an interview published on Friday, September 11, Evans shared that he sent correspondence to Curry to thank and compliment him for his performance that was so inspiring.

“He was very appreciative,” Evans told the outlet. “I think he was very sick when he got the letter — he was struggling a lot — and I’ve spoken to his publisher since. He struggled to speak and talk, so I think he was really in a bad place, but what a legacy.”

'Rocky Horror Picture Show' Star Tim Curry Dead at 80

Evans added that he felt a connection to the late star due to their shared character, even though they portrayed Dr. Frank-N-Furter decades apart.

“What was very strange was the day that he did die, the news — of all the incredible things he did, and he did many incredible, iconic roles — it always started with the same person: Frank-N-Furter,” Evans reflected. “And I had just played him, so there was this real deep connection that I had, even though I’d never met the man. It was a strange, beautiful, tragic way to end my New York experience, but I’ll never forget it.”

News broke on August 26 that Curry died at age 80. The Los Angeles Police Department’s North Hollywood Division told Us at the time that officers responded to a call for a rescue ambulance to Curry’s home around 11:23 p.m. on Tuesday, August 25. (Us reached out to Curry’s rep for comment.)

Following Curry’s death, Evans shared the touching letter via an Instagram post, captioning it,  “RIP Tim Curry. And thank you x.”

Tim Curry Said He Didn't 'Fear Death' After 2012 Stroke Left Him Paralyzed

“Although we’ve never met, you’ve been part of this journey from the very beginning. Every actor who puts on Frank inevitably walks into a conversation that started with you, and I’ve felt that every night,” part of the letter read.

The letter continued, “Being compared to you has been one of the greatest compliments I’ve ever received, even though it’s a compliment no one could ever hope to live up to. There is, and always will be, only one Tim Curry.”

While previously reflecting on his role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter with LA Magazine, Curry said he looked back at the 1975 film “with a sort of bemused tolerance” after it launched his career in the industry. “It’s neither a blessing nor a curse,” he said. “I was lucky to get it.”

Speaking to U.K. publication The Times on Friday, September 11, the actor, 73, explained why it might be time for the couple to move on from their $100 million home.

“We’ve been spared by the fires a few times now. But I think it’s time to move. Everything changes, everything falls apart,” he told the outlet. “We live by this body of earth’s water on a fault in a ring of earthquakes. That creates a fear.”

The MobLand star continued, “I think the two of us are somewhat reclusive. It’s a long way into town. We have a small circle of friends here [but] people get divorced, they die, they move on. And we’re still here.”

Pierce Brosnan Celebrates 23rd Anniversary With 'Beautiful' Wife Keely

In January 2025, the Palisades Fire burned more than 23,000 acres across L.A. and its surrounding suburbs, including Brosnan’s neighborhood. According to CalFire, more than 6,500 structures were destroyed, 975 were damaged and at least 27 people lost their lives.

Many celebrities, such as Billy Crystal,  Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Tyra Banks and more, were among those who were affected by the severe weather disaster.

Although Brosnan and Smith’s home was “spared” during this event, they went through an ordeal a decade prior.

In February 2015, Us confirmed that their Malibu home sustained approximately $1 million in damage after a fire spread from his garage to one of the rooms in his home. According to the L.A. County Fire Department at the time, it took nearly 40 minutes for 50 firefighters to respond, contain, and extinguish the blaze.

Meanwhile, Brosnan and Smith’s marriage has continued to burn bright since they tied the knot in 2001.

Brosnan met Smith in 1994, three years after his first wife, Cassandra Harris, died of ovarian cancer. Prior to Harris’ death, she and Brosnan welcomed son Sean in 1983. (Brosnan also adopted Harris’ daughter, Charlotte, and son, Chris, whom she shared with her late ex.)

Pierce Brosnan and Wife Keely Shaye Smith Make Their Met Gala Debut: Photos

The James Bond star opened up about the secret to the longevity of his marriage to Smith during an interview with Fox News in December 2023.

“We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot,” he told the outlet at the time. “And we’ve been down the road, and we’ve seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do.”

He added, “But watching someone grow up with you and grow old with you is a very spiritual journey. To watch each other change … whatever it may be, the hair [or] the waist … it’s [about] the love in the heart.”

Two months after the pair were seen spending New Year’s Eve together in December 2019, Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that Polansky attended Gaga’s Super Bowl performance in February 2020.

Gaga (whose real name is Stefani Germanotta) and Polansky celebrated their first Valentine’s Day together that same month. While a source told Us that they were “having fun,” it wasn’t long until things got serious.

The duo spent a lot of time together in quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic in spring 2020.

After Polansky was seen supporting the star during her performance at Joe Biden‘s presidential inauguration in January 2021, a source exclusively shared with Us that he “brings real stability to her life.” The pair confirmed their engagement three years later in summer 2024.

In September 2026, it appeared a new chapter had started for the couple, when multiple reports suggested they had quietly welcomed their first child together.

Relive the couple’s romance by scrolling through the photos below:

According to Today.com, Elizabeth and her husband, Brice Bolden, welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Coleman Brice Johnston Bolden, on Tuesday, September 8.

“We’re so happy to have Coleman here and to be home together as a family of four,” Elizabeth and Brice told the outlet. “We are so looking forward to watching Leighton and Coleman grow up together.”

The couple, who tied the knot in November 2025, are already parents to daughter Leighton Drew Bolden. Their eldest child will celebrate her third birthday this fall.

TLC's Liz Johnston Reflects on Challenges of Raising Average-Height Baby

The baby’s moniker has special family significance, as he was named after his father and paternal great-grandfather.

Elizabeth’s pregnancy and birth journey comes after she previously opened up about the challenges surrounding childbirth. The reality star has achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism, and knew ahead of welcoming her first child that she would need to deliver via C-section under general anesthesia.

Brice previously admitted that he was particularly apprenhensive about the procedure.

“He’s more nervous about the C-section than anything else in his entire life,” Elizabeth told Today.com in 2024.

At the time, Elizabeth also laughed when asked whether the couple would consider having another child, explaining that Brice needed some time because “he’s just not ready to go through the C-section part again.”

Elizabeth has also spoken of the challenges of raising a child, particularly when strangers invade her “personal bubble.”

Speaking to Parade in February 2025, Elizabeth opened up about what it was like being a mom with achondroplasia dwarfism and having an average-height child.

“We were just doing a little shopping, really just to get fresh air and get out of the house and take Leighton out of the house,” Elizabeth recalled as she shared a stressful incident that occurred three weeks after welcoming Leighton.

She continued, “And we were just walking out of the parking lot, and somebody just wanted to run up and just come see before even saying, ‘Hey,’ or anything.”

Elizabeth explained that her mother had cautioned her that situations like that might happen once she started a family.

“My mom kind of warned me that since we’re already LPs [little people] in the public eye, when you have your baby in a stroller or a carrier and they’re hidden, it’s definitely the curiosity that gets to people,” she told Parade.

Explaining that she was forced to put boundaries in place, Elizabeth continued, “I did have to be like, ‘No. No, we don’t do that.’”

“That’s just been the most, kind of hard part to deal with,” Elizabeth added, “because just people who just don’t have that respect to like, hey, just come up and ask and not just bombard your personal bubble. That’s been the hardest thing.”

The minor female, whose name Us is not publicly disclosing, spoke to the judge during a bond hearing for Kim Zolciak and estranged husband Kroy Biermann’s 15-year-old son at Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta on Friday, September 11.

During her emotional testimony, the alleged victim asked the judge to consider her safety when deciding whether to grant KJ’s request to be released on bond, per TMZ.

KJ was arrested last month over the alleged victim’s accusation that he sexually harassed and assaulted her while they were in a coed sauna at a local gym in April. (KJ’s lawyer, Jason Sheffield, told Us in August that the teenager is “100 percent innocent.”)

KJ Biermann, 15, Attempts to Avoid Adult Prison Sentence After Indictment

The alleged victim, who is a classmate of KJ’s, explained to the court on Friday that she’d already lost friends and faced alienation from fellow students. She was allegedly warned by other students that KJ could retaliate if he is released from custody. (KJ has been held at Atlanta’s Regional Youth Detention Center since his arrest.)

On Friday, Us learned that the judge ultimately decided to grant KJ a $200,000 bond with significant conditions, including that he will be required to wear an ankle monitor and that he must not contact the victim’s family. Furthermore, the judge ruled that KJ will live at Zolciak’s house, while prohibiting any other kids ages 16 and under from staying at the home or visiting.

When the allegations first came to light, Zolciak, 48, released a strong message of support for her teenage son.

“The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling. He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged,” the RHOA alum said in a statement to Us on August 21. “My son voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed. Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found.”

Zolciak added, “False accusations can have devastating consequences not only for the person being accused, but also for genuine survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Every legitimate allegation deserves to be taken seriously and investigated based on the facts and evidence. At the same time, no one should be publicly condemned based solely on an accusation.”

“We remain confident that the facts and evidence will establish the truth, and we ask that people allow the proper process to take its course rather than spreading unproven allegations,” she concluded.

Zolciak and daughter Brielle Biermann were both in attendance for Friday’s bond hearing but refused to speak to the media outside the Atlanta courthouse.

Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy dropped a bombshell during the court session, revealing that investigators found video evidence on KJ’s phone of the teenager allegedly having sex with an unidentified underage relative. Per prosecutors, the footage shows “multiple encounters” where KJ allegedly used “predatory [and] derogatory” language toward the victim.

KJ’s lawyer Sheffield — who acknowledged that he’d yet to see this new evidence — insisted that “characterizations made in court regarding the prior juvenile matter involving KJ Biermann grossly misrepresent both the facts and the ultimate resolution of that case.”

Police Report Reveals Alarming Details of KJ Biermann Alleged Assault

“The matter arose from inappropriate, crude behavior involving two middle-schoolers,” Sheffield told TMZ.

The attorney claimed that the allegations raised by prosecutors during Friday’s bond hearing “did not result in an adjudication for statutory rape, sexual intercourse, or any comparable offense” when they were adjudicated.

“I’ve been quiet in my own words for a week, which you know isn’t like me. So here they are,” Pink, 47, began in an Instagram statement on Friday, September 11.

The singer continued, “Last Sunday I reposted somebody else’s post about Macklemore’s set at Ed Sheeran’s show. It said things in words I didn’t write, and I wouldn’t have chosen all of them. Then the comments came, and I did what I do when I’m hurt, which is post snarky memes and act like I’m fine. That’s on me.”

While performing his opening set at Sheeran’s concerts in New Jersey on September 4 and 5, Macklemore, 43, chanted “Free Palestine” and performed his protest track “Hind’s Hall.” He stated that his primary reason for doing the stadium shows was to advocate for Palestine amid the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict over land in the Middle East.

Following Macklemore’s statement, critics petitioned to have the rapper removed from the remaining dates of the Loop Tour. Pink ultimately reposted a message from StopAntisemitism accusing Macklemore of spreading “anti‑Israel propaganda.” She later took to her Instagram Story to share several memes amid backlash over her response.

“A repost isn’t a statement, and a meme isn’t a spine,” she wrote on Friday. “Social media makes all of us cheap and fast, and we all know it. But I’d rather be disagreed with for what I actually said than hated for what anybody else wrote, so let me say it.”

“I was born a Jew. I didn’t pick it, and I’ve never hidden it,” Pink continued. “And this week, a whole lot of people decided what I believe without asking me, without checking a single thing I’ve ever said or done, because a repost and the word ‘Jew’ were apparently enough to fill in the rest. But let me fill it in … myself.”

Pink then recalled her past advocacy for both sides of the conflict.

“Of course I don’t speak for Israel, or for any government. I never have. What I said in October 2023 is still exactly what I believe: Hamas is a terrorist organization,” she wrote. “Palestinians deserve a future that honors their humanity and their aspirations. Protecting innocent life comes first, everywhere, and nobody should ever celebrate the death of a child. Anybody’s child. I’ve spent a decade as a UNICEF ambassador for kids who didn’t choose the country or the war they were born into, and I have grieved every one of them, on both sides of that fence. I didn’t do it from behind a screen; I went to those children and held them. I’m not going to litigate a complex war in an Instagram caption, and I’m not going to recite anybody’s slogan to earn back a follower.”

Pink added that she’s now “standing up for my own people.”

“‘Zionist,’ spat like it’s a slur, by people who couldn’t tell you the details of what I believe, because I hadn’t told them yet,” she wrote. “I wasn’t asked. I was told. I don’t think most of them hate Jews. I think somebody handed them a story where the Jew who won’t apologize for existing must be the villain, and they’ve been putting words in my mouth ever since.”

She continued, “l’ve been portrayed as the villain before. I can take it. I just won’t take it quietly, and I’m not going to teach my kids to. So, to the ones who are furious with me: you don’t have to agree with me. You never did. That’s been our unspoken agreement for 25 years, and it still stands, and so do I.”

She concluded, “To the ones who are frightened this week, Jewish or Muslim or Palestinian or Israeli or just tired of all of it: I see you. And if anybody wants to really know what I think, just ask me. I’m right here. I’ve never been hard to find. And I’ll keep speaking out, in my own words.”

A judge granted KJ bail and set it at $200,000, on Friday, September 11, per court documents obtained by Us. Per the order, KJ will be subject to pretrial supervision ahead of his arraignment.

KJ was arrested in Alpharetta, Georgia, last month for aggravated sexual assault and aggravated sodomy after an alleged incident with an unidentified minor victim at a public gym earlier this year. KJ, who has maintained his innocence, was remanded to Atlanta’s Regional Youth Detention Center ahead of Friday’s hearing.

After posting bail, KJ will be required to wear an electronic ankle monitor under 24-hour house arrest.

“You will wear an electronic monitoring device at all times and keep that device charged,” the court docs read. “The conditions of your monitoring include a 24-hour curfew with the exception of medical, and court appearances.”

Under the judge’s ruling, KJ will live at Zolciak’s house, with the judge strictly barring any other children 16 years old and under — including his own siblings — from staying at the home or visiting. (In addition to KJ, Zolciak, 48, and estranged husband Kroy, 41, are parents of son Kash, 14, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 12. Kroy also adopted Zolciak’s eldest daughters from a previous relationship: Brielle, 29, and Ariana, 24.)

KJ’s bond conditions further require the teenager to attend high school classes virtually and bar him from posting on social media and using a cell phone.

What to Know About Kim Zolciak's Son KJ's Arrest for Sexual Assault

“You will ‘stay off’ social media. Internet use will be for school purposes and for counseling purposes, only,” the order stipulated. “You will not have use of a cell phone. You will turn over your passport to your attorney prior to your release from custody. Defense Counsel must certify, in a filing with the court, that this has, in fact, been done.”

KJ also cannot have any “direct or indirect contact” with his alleged victim, their family or close associates.

KJ has not yet entered a plea regarding the accusations. He was also indicted earlier this month for aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment and three counts of sexual battery against a child under the age of 16. (The teenager has not been arrested for the remaining charges in the indictment.)

KJ’s attorney later filed a motion to transfer the proceedings to juvenile court, which would prevent his client from being tried as an adult.

If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

The alleged incident occurred at Lifetime Fitness on April 23. The minor female victim, who Us has chosen not to identify, reported an aggravated sexual battery and aggravated sodomy and was taken to the hospital. The alleged victim underwent a test and the results found no evidence of male DNA in her mouth or vagina, according to a police report obtained by Us.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star shares KJ with estranged husband Kroy Biermann. The pair, who tied the knot in 2011, welcomed son Kash and twins Kaia and Kane in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Biermann also adopted Zolciak’s two eldest daughters, Ariana and Brielle, from a previous relationship. The exes filed for divorce in 2023.

When Was KJ Biermann Jr. Arrested?

KJ was arrested in Alpharetta, Georgia, on August 17, according to court records obtained by Us, and he was remanded to the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center in Atlanta until a bond hearing. Us confirmed on September 11 that a judge granted KJ bail set at $200,00o. He was ordered to remain at his mother’s house and wear an electronic ankle monitoring device until his arraignment in October.

What Has Kim Zolciak Said About KJ Biermann Jr.’s Arrest?

Zolciak spoke out about the arrest in a statement to Us on Friday, August 21.

“The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling. He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged,” Zolciak said. “My son voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed. Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found.”

She continued, “False accusations can have devastating consequences not only for the person being accused, but also for genuine survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Every legitimate allegation deserves to be taken seriously and investigated based on the facts and evidence. At the same time, no one should be publicly condemned based solely on an accusation.”

Zolciak added, “We remain confident that the facts and evidence will establish the truth, and we ask that people allow the proper process to take its course rather than spreading unproven allegations.”

What Has KJ Biermann Jr.’s Attorney Said About the Arrest?

Jason Sheffield, the attorney representing KJ, defended his client in a statement to Us. “First and foremost, this is not the kind of information that should be for public dissemination. These are juveniles,” KJ’s attorney told Us in a statement on Friday, August 21. “Secondly, my client is 100 percent innocent and tried to present evidence to the arresting officer, including a passed polygraph by a notable and respected sex offender polygrapher.”

Sheffield continued, “Additionally, the officer’s report notes the GBI [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] found no male DNA on or inside the areas the alleged victim claimed she was assaulted. Had the officer sat down with me, I feel certain she would’ve never made an arrest.”

Sheffield alleged that “these false allegations are a desperate cry for attention and are motivated by my client’s past rejection of the alleged victim’s unwanted advances.”

“The fact that he’s been arrested and is being held without bond is a tragedy. He is not only presumed innocent but is, in fact, innocent,” Sheffield told Us. “I will work tirelessly to demonstrate to the District Attorney’s office the mean-spirited nature of these false allegations and to bring a close to this matter as quickly as possible. I’m asking the public not to presume the truth of these allegations and to give the families on both sides their space and privacy.”

KJ Biermann Is Indicted on 7 Counts

KJ was indicted in September 2026 for aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment and three counts of sexual battery against a child under the age of 16. (He was not immediately arrested for the remaining charges in the indictment.)

KJ Biermann’s Lawyer Files to Transfer Case to Juvenile Court

KJ’s attorney filed a motion ahead of the teenager’s September 2026 bond hearing to transfer the case to juvenile court, which would prevent KJ from being tried as an adult.

“It is difficult to comprehend that a 14- or 15-year-old child can be held in detention for a month or longer simply waiting for a bond hearing,” lawyer Jason Sheffield told Page Six in a statement. “But that detention is a direct consequence of the detective’s decision to arrest him on charges of this magnitude.”

KJ Biermann Accused of Having Sex With an Underage Relative

During KJ’s bond hearing in September 2026, prosecutors allegedly claimed that investigators found evidence of KJ engaging in sexual activity with an unidentified family member under the age of 12.

According to Page Six, the investigators reportedly discovered recordings of “multiple encounters” where KJ used “predatory [and] derogatory” language toward the victim. The incident had not been previously reported, with prosecutors planning to press charges.

KJ ‘s lawyer categorically denied the accusations.

“The characterizations made in court regarding the prior juvenile matter involving KJ Biermann grossly misrepresent both the facts and the ultimate resolution of that case,” Sheffield told TMZ in a statement. “The matter arose from inappropriate, crude behavior involving two middle-schoolers.”

“I ship it, listen, I was on their season of Traitors [and I] love them both,” Johnny, 42, told TMZ photographers in Hollywood on Wednesday, September 9. “I know CT, he’s a brother to me.”

Johnny, CT, 46, and Phaedra, 52, all appeared on Peacock’s The Traitors season 2, which aired in 2024. While Johnny, his fellow Faithfuls and even viewers noticed CT and the Real Housewives of Atlanta star appeared to have a certain level of chemistry, the pair shot down viral showmance speculation.

Two years later, Phaedra confirmed her romance with CT days before they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys on Saturday, September 5.

Inside Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello’s Long-Distance Relationship

“At the time [on The Traitors], they were in a time where they weren’t able to really see what the full potential of a relationship was, but I think they both leveled up,” Johnny quipped on Wednesday. “She went from Apollo to Zeus, and he went from an OnlyFans creator to an attorney, so I think they’re both winning.”

Phaedra was previously married to Apollo Nida, with whom she shares two sons, from 2009 to 2015. CT, for his part, separated from content creator Catalina White in January after two years of marriage. CT and Catalina, 40, have yet to finalize their divorce. (CT was previously married to Lilianet Solares from 2018 to 2023, during which period they welcomed son Christopher, now 10.)

While Phaedra and CT have played coy about their blossoming relationship, Johnny is firmly in their corner.

“I fully support it,” he told TMZ, predicting, “I’ll be jumping out of the cake at the wedding.”

CT presented at the 2026 Emmys Night 1 with Johnny and brought Phaedra as his plus-one.

“Some came for the awards. I came with the prize,” Phaedra wrote via Instagram on Sunday, September 6, sharing photos with CT on the red carpet. “Thank you to the real trophy for making a beautiful night even better.”

Johnny subsequently trolled the new couple and shared Emmys pics with CT via his Instagram, using Phaedra’s caption verbatim.

Phaedra and CT’s love story isn’t just apparent to Johnny, with a source exclusively telling Us that the duo are “the real deal.”

“They’re really smitten with each other. They became really close on The Traitors, but CT never thought he actually had a chance with Phaedra,” the insider revealed earlier this week. “He always had a bit of a crush on her and was interested, but he really valued their friendship and never wanted to cross that line. After his marriage ended, he and Phaedra started talking a lot more, and their relationship naturally grew from there.”

“The characterizations made in court regarding the prior juvenile matter involving KJ Biermann grossly misrepresent both the facts and the ultimate resolution of that case,” KJ’s lawyer Jason Sheffield told TMZ on Friday, September 11. “The matter arose from inappropriate, crude behavior involving two middle-schoolers.”

During his bond hearing on Friday, September 11, Page Six reported that prosecutors allegedly found video evidence on KJ’s phone of the teenager having sex with an unidentified underage relative. Per the report, investigators had allegedly discovered footage of “multiple encounters” where KJ used “predatory [and] derogatory” language toward the victim. The incident had not previously been reported, with prosecutors telling the judge on Friday that they planned to press charges.

Us has learned that a judge granted KJ’s request for bond on Friday, setting it at $200,000. KJ will be required to wear an ankle monitor under the terms of his bond agreement.

Kim Zolciak's Son KJ, 15, Accused of Having Sex With Minor Relative: Report

Following Friday’s hearing, Sheffield told TMZ that these allegations about an unidentified underage relative “did not result in an adjudication for statutory rape, sexual intercourse, or any comparable offense.”

“Any suggestion otherwise is inaccurate and creates a materially misleading impression of how the juvenile matter was ultimately resolved,” the attorney said.

While he has yet to actually see the new evidence, Sheffield described the video footage discovered by investigators as “more ridiculous, raunchy behavior” rather than anything illegal, though he acknowledged the behavior was “boundary crossing inappropriate.” Per the attorney, KJ received counseling to resolve the matter.

Zolciak, 48, and her daughter Brielle Biermann were spotted outside the courthouse on Friday, though neither publicly addressed the situation. (In addition to KJ, Zolciak and Kroy, 41, share son Kash, 14, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 12. Kroy also adopted Zolciak’s daughters from a previous relationship: Brielle, 29, and Ariana, 24.)

KJ was arrested in Alpharetta, Georgia, in August for aggravated sexual assault and aggravated battery after an alleged incident with another underage victim at a gym earlier this year. He was immediately remanded to Atlanta’s Regional Youth Detention Center, a juvenile detention facility where he remained prior to his bond hearing.

Weeks after his arrest, KJ was indicted for aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment and three counts of sexual battery against a child under the age of 16. (He has not been arrested for the remaining charges in the indictment.)

KJ has maintained his innocence regarding the accusations ahead of his October arraignment.

“First and foremost, this is not the kind of information that should be for public dissemination. These are juveniles,” KJ’s attorney Sheffield told Us in a statement, denying the initial allegations. “Secondly, my client is 100 percent innocent and tried to present evidence to the arresting officer, including a passed polygraph by a notable and respected sex offender polygrapher.”

What to Know About Kim Zolciak's Son KJ's Arrest for Sexual Assault

Sheffield continued, “Additionally, the officer’s report notes the [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] found no male DNA on or inside the areas the alleged victim claimed she was assaulted. Had the officer sat down with me, I feel certain she would’ve never made an arrest.”

Sheffield filed a motion on Tuesday, September 8, to transfer KJ’s case to juvenile court, attempting to prevent his client from being tried as an adult.

“It is difficult to comprehend that a 14- or 15-year-old child can be held in detention for a month or longer simply waiting for a bond hearing,” Sheffield told Page Six in a statement at the time. “But that detention is a direct consequence of the detective’s decision to arrest him on charges of this magnitude.”

“So much of my life and the way that I matured and grew up and the way that I learned to think about the world and feel the world was done through this incredible thing that I go to do,” Rapinoe, 41, said at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday, September 10, while reflecting on her career with the National Women’s Soccer League, which ended in 2023.

The athlete — whose upcoming self-titled documentary was screened at the film festival — continued, “I got to have my family there, I got to do it through my body, I got to do something I loved and that I was really good at.”

Three years after she retired from soccer, Rapinoe weathered another major life change when she and ex-fiancée Sue Bird split after nearly a decade together.

“Now, it’s like, everything comes to an end,” Rapinoe continued on Thursday. “There’s phases in life, and it’s been really interesting and beautiful and transformative to have to be like, ‘OK, I’m gonna let that thing go,’ which I was really ready to let that thing go and see what is next in life.”

The former Seattle Reign FC player concluded, “It’s been fun. I feel like I’m kind of finally getting on the other side of it, and feeling like myself again.”

Rapinoe and Bird, 45, announced their breakup via Instagram in April.

“This hasn’t been an easy decision, but it’s one we’ve made together with so much love, respect, and care for each other,” the post read. “We’ve shared a whole life over the last decade, through big moments and in quiet ones, and that is something we’ll always carry with us.”

Their statement continued, “We are so grateful to this incredible community that has held us up, welcomed us in, and supported us exactly how we are. So many of you have reminded us, again and again, why loving out loud matters.”

The exes also discussed their split on their now-defunct podcast, “A Touch More.”

“We put a lot of thought and care into this,” Rapinoe said in a YouTube video at the time. “It’s a decision that we made together. We’re still going to be there for all of you and for each other. It’s just going to look and feel a little bit different. We truly are evolving into something new to each other, to ourselves and to all of you.”

Speaking to Women’s Health in June, Bird shared insight into what went wrong between her and Rapinoe.

“It’s like anything,” she explained. “It’s like, you grow, you change, you start having conversations about that in your relationship, and it just got to a point where we realized it might not be working anymore.”

Bird added, “There’s no way I am who I am without being with Megan. But now that it’s over, I get to take this kind of, like, newish, grown-ish, healed-ish version of myself and be out in the world again. It’s exciting, it’s scary, it’s all of it.”

The former couple signed off on their divorce paperwork on Thursday, September 10, though details of a possible settlement and a financial judgment remain private, per TMZ.

“Now that our divorce has been signed, I’m grateful to have some closure and the opportunity to move forward,” Jordan, 32, said in a statement obtained by Us on Friday, September 11. “Jessi and I shared a meaningful chapter of our lives together, and no matter how that chapter ended, I will always be grateful for the good that came from it — especially our children.”

He continued, “My focus now is on being the best dad I can be, continuing to grow as a person, and moving into this next season with kindness and respect. I genuinely wish Jessi happiness and the very best in whatever comes next for her and our family. There’s been a lot said publicly throughout this process, but I don’t feel a need to add to the noise. I’m ready to move forward with gratitude, peace, and a lot of love for my kids.”

Us has reached out to Jessi’s representative for comment.

Jordan, filed for divorce from Jessi, 32, in March after five years of marriage. At the time, Jordan told Us in an exclusive statement that his decision to seek a divorce came “with a heavy heart.”

“I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons,” he added. “While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition.”

Jordan went on to say, “I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family.”

Jessi and Jordan share two kids: son Jagger and daughter Jovi. Jordan also has an older daughter, Peyton, from a previous relationship.

Mormon Wives viewers watched the collapse of Jordan and Jessi’s marriage play out over the past several seasons, after Jessi admitted to having kissed Hulu star Marciano Brunette while she was filming Vanderpump Villa.

During a March appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Jessi denied that her fling with Marciano, 33, directly caused her marriage to implode.

“[Jordan] put in the papers that we ended it because I had an affair, and he’s talking about Marciano, the person I kissed a year and a half ago. That’s what he put as the reason,” Jessi told host Alex Cooper. “I was like, ‘What?’ We’ve worked through that, it’s already been proven on TV that I didn’t sleep with him, so crazy.”

Jessi claimed during that same “Call Her Daddy” appearance that she anticipated Jordan filing for divorce ever since she told him on March 13 that their marriage was over.

“In the last year, I’ve told him, actually, a few different times I want to get divorced. But he always calms me down,” Jessi recalled. “I had been in limbo for a while, and anyone that’s lived in limbo knows it’s excruciating. Where I’m like, ‘I don’t know if this is right or not.’ I literally woke up one day and — it’s such a simple thought — but I was like, ‘I can change this. I can change my life. I can be happy.’”

She went on to say, “It was like something flipped and I was like, ‘I’m done,’ and I could not go back after that.”

‘Mormon Wives' Marciano Discussed Jessi and Jordan's Marriage Before Split

More recently, Jessi has confirmed that she is now dating Marciano, even referring to herself as his “girlfriend” in social media posts over the summer. Marciano told Hulu’s “Get Real” podcast in June that the two were “not exclusive” but hinted he was falling in love with the Mormon Wives cast member.

Jordan was romantically linked to influencer Jillian Brooke earlier this year.

“There was cautious optimism that perhaps they would arrive in silent dignity and not stir up drama, but William was much less optimistic than the king and was proven right because right now he’s having an ‘I told you so’ moment,” a source exclusively tells Us.

William, 44, and Harry, 41, have had a fractured relationship since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working members of the royal family in 2020, following which Harry released his memoir, Spare, and a six-part Netflix docuseries, titled Harry & Meghan, in which he and Meghan, 45, spoke out against the royal family.

In March 2020, Harry and Meghan moved to Montecito, California, to raise their two children: Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5.

How Prince William and Kate Really Feel About Harry and Meghan's U.K. Return

“William and Kate don’t have to do anything and say anything. History has proven time and again Meghan and Harry will dig their own grave,” continues the source. “And this takes them further away from reconciliation.”

“William has not spoken to Harry,” the insider adds. “William also hasn’t gotten over all the stress that Harry and Meghan caused leading up to Kate’s cancer diagnosis. She finally reached remission, only for them to come back to the U.K. and create more stress for everyone.”

Last month, Harry and Meghan sent shockwaves when news broke that they would be returning to the U.K. with their kids after living stateside for the past six years. It came as an even greater surprise to many due to Harry’s long-running concerns over his family’s security in Britain, as he previously expressed to the BBC that “I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point.”

Harry and Meghan previously lost publicly-funded security protection in the U.K. as a result of stepping down from their royal roles.

Following the news of Harry and Meghan’s return, a letter was released on behalf of King Charles III to clarify the couple’s status in the royal family.

“It is well known that in January 2020 the Duke and Duchess stepped down from undertaking representative duties on behalf of The Sovereign, and are no longer working Members of The Royal Family,” read the letter written by royal household senior officer Lord Chamberlain. “This position, distinct from the State and Royal duties undertaken by the working Royal Family, and with the personal latitude it brings the couple in respect of financial independence and protection of their privacy as they would wish, will continue to be fully respected.”

The letter added that Harry and Meghan’s “charitable work” is “a personal matter for them both and undertaken in their private capacity.”

“In short, their position is akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests,” the letter stated.

Inside the Royal Family's Deepening Divide Ahead of Prince Harry's Return

A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan told the BBC that they were “a little surprised” to not have been told about the letter “in advance.”

An additional source previously told Us that the reason Charles, 77, put out the letter to help ease confusion following Harry and Meghan’s return as the couple’s children reportedly just began their new school year.

“Charles wrote a letter to clarify they are not working royals and they are considered private citizens so there is no confusion,” the source explained. “The king just wanted the public and press not to be confused. They can’t be one foot in and one foot out.”

In June, legendary music executive Clive Davis also died at age 94 following a hospitalization for an upper respiratory infection.

The following month, G.R.L. member Lauren Bennett died at age 37, while Bonnie Tyler died at 75. Emergency!‘s Randolph Mantooth and Police Academy‘s Peter Van Norden also died in July. They were 80 and 75, respectively.

In August, news broke that The Sopranos alum Vincent Pastore, All That star Christy Knowings and former The Challenge winner Tyler Duckworth died. Dolly Parton died on August 25, one day before Tim Curry‘s death. Also in August, influential artist Yayoi Kusama’s website confirmed that she died at age 97 in Tokyo. Singer Jaye P. Morgan and voice actor Peter Cullen also died that month.

In September, Disney Channel star Carla Jeffery, legendary activist Gloria Steinem and jazz singer Cassandra Wilson died at the respective ages of 33, 92 and 70. Former AEW wrestler Andy “The Butcher” Williams, meanwhile, died on September 5 after collapsing during a match while longtime ESPN analyst and former NHL coach Barry Melrose’s death was announced on September 9.

Country singer Brian Duckworth and voice actor Mike McFarland also died in September.

Although the origin of their falling out is unclear, many factors have contributed to Jordan and Aaron’s ongoing tension, which was first made public in 2016 on JoJo Fletcher’s season of The Bachelorette.

Jordan, who ultimately won the season, introduced Fletcher to his eldest brother, Luke Rodgers, and their parents during hometowns — and Luke noted, “It pains both of us, like, not to have that relationship [with Aaron] — we miss our brother.”

Fast-forward to when both Aaron and Jordan were set to walk down the aisle — and they were still estranged.

While Aaron and ex-fiancée Shailene Woodley called it quits in May 2022 before deciding on whether they’d invite his family to their nuptials, Jordan did extend an invite to Aaron when he wed Fletcher that same month. Aaron did not attend the Mexico wedding.

In July 2026, the family dynamics appeared to change for the better when Aaron reunited with his mom, dad and both of his brothers.
