The season 4 runner-up surprised fans on Thursday, October 29, uploading side-by-side photos of himself to Instagram after undergoing a major transformation.

“Well, well, Tinkerbell… Who’s THAT guy?!” Bice, 51, captioned the post, which featured a promotional photo of him rocking long hair next to a more recent image of himself, in which the singer can be seen sporting short, spiky hair, multiple chain necklaces and a paisley shirt unbuttoned down to the navel.

He commented, “Ain’t it funny what 2 years’ll do in your life. … Here’s a blast from my past and a glimpse into my future with a new life, new style, but the same southern soul.”

A Look Back at Carrie Underwood's 'American Idol' Winning Season

Back in April, Bice opened up about making various lifestyle changes, including shedding 89 pounds.

“I’ve been off the grid for way too long now. Nothing much I wanted, cared or was motivated to share for a good bit as I was shaping up my body, mind & spirt [sic],” he wrote via Instagram at the time.

Thanks to his weight loss, the singer said he “can move around like I use to on stage and feel better, sharper and stronger from the lighter weight.”

As for his trademark long hair, he wrote, “Cut the hair from tail length to the short-haired country boy look again. A lot lighter and I’m saving on shampoo & conditioner.”

Bice said that he had also “stopped drinking caffeine,” noting that he “went from 3 cups of coffee and 5 cokes a day to only water and juiced fruits, vegetables, vitamins.”

“Everything fits and looks on spot,” he said of his wardrobe.

“No drinking, no drugs, body clean from everything but natural God grown remedies😉,” Bice wrote. “Back into a comfortable and healthy lifestyle, 50 feels better than any other decade I experienced yet.”

At the time, Bice also teased new music.

“Back to gigging? Does anyone still want to hear from an old wolf who’s long in the tooth and short on worries?” he asked his followers.

It seems new music is indeed on the way. On Monday, November 2, Bice marked his 51st birthday with an Instagram post in which he wrote, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME?! I guess so! What does 51 have in store? New Music, Journey, Way of Life. A RESURRECTED, BRAND NEW MAN.”

Bice initially gained notoriety on American Idol season 4 in 2005, which was won by Carrie Underwood. His debut album, The Real Thing, reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 album chart that same year.

“🎃👻 HAPPY HALLOWEEN from The Baltierra’s! 👻🎃,” Tyler, 34, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, October 31, showing off his family’s Halloween costumes.

Tyler dressed up as Nightwing, while Catelynn, 34, went as a witch to match their youngest daughter, Rya, 4. (In addition to Rya, Tyler and Catelynn also share Nova, 11, and Vaeda, 7, who dressed like Stick Man and Pennywise, respectively. The Teen Mom couple previously gave up their eldest daughter, Carly, for adoption upon her 2009 birth.)

In a subsequent post, Tyler shouted out Catelynn for working hard to lose weight.

“Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how beautiful my wife is!? She’s down 30lbs & I’m so beyond proud of her!” Tyler captioned a Sunday, November 1, before-and-after photo of Catelynn wearing the same witchy costume. “This is what we should all be talking about in regard to our Halloween photos.”

He added, “I love you babe @catelynnmtv & you’re always the most beautiful to me! 🥰🤩😘 #MyBabe #Soulmate #Queen #SexyWitch.”

While Catelynn has not publicly discussed her wellness journey, she previously made it clear that she wouldn’t stand for Tyler being anything less than supportive of her endeavors.

“If I was ever being body-shamed or called out of my name in front of my kids, I would be gone,” she quipped on a 2023 episode of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast. “I don’t want my children to think that’s OK to be treated like that.”

Catelyn has also supported Tyler’s own fitness goals.

“I’m pretty happy with the results. It makes me even more pumped to see how the next cut goes after I’m done bulking again,” Tyler previously wrote via Instagram in August 2022. “I did decide to shift my goals a little and focus more on aesthetics/muscle building for this next bulk cycle, rather than strength building (like I was doing before).”

He added, “I still have a long way to go until I reach my ultimate goal, but I promised myself that I would post more about my fitness journey, because It helps keep me accountable.”

Catelynn replied at the time, “Ayeeee my sexy man 😍😍😍.”

Tyler later decided to show off his new muscles via OnlyFans, with Catelynn’s blessing.

“To be completely fair, I’m NOT doing porn at all! Cate is just sharing the stuff that I personally send to her,” he explained via his Instagram Stories in July 2023. “There’s no sex involved or even videos on the page she’s running. … Cate is being completely transparent and honest about it all. It’s just a wife sharing photos of her husband, that’s literally it!”

“Rosie is my really good friend and we talk all the time. She was judgy,” Lake, 58, revealed on The Weekend View on Saturday, October 31. “She would admit it. She was a little judgy about me and my friends that went to this doctor and had these amazing results.”

Lake has confirmed that she underwent a “deep plane lower face and neck lift along with a mild co2 laser” from Dr. Allen Foulad in Beverly Hills in 2024, noting that she’d decided to have the procedure after losing “a lot of weight.”

The former daytime talk show host commemorated two years since her facelift this past July by expressing satisfaction with the “remarkable, natural, and long-lasting” results.

Ricki Lake Says Her 2024 Face Lift Was 'One of Best Decisions I Ever Made'

In a May Substack post, O’Donnell, 64, acknowledged that she’d once felt “very strongly about facelifts” — though not on a “moral” basis — before going under the knife for a ​​lower deep-plane facelift in January.

Discussing O’Donnell’s rejuvenated look on The Weekend View, Lake remembered that her friend often questioned why women felt the “need” to have cosmetic surgeries.

“Sure enough, she lost a bunch of weight on [GLP-1 drug] Mounjaro and she went and had it done,” Lake noted. “She looks incredible.”

O’Donnell joked in her Substack essay that she’d “assigned [herself] as head of all women who would never” have a facelift before she started rethinking her stance.

The former Rosie O’Donnell Show host shared that her 13-year-old child Clay initially discouraged her from getting a facelift, assuring her that she’d “earned [her] wrinkles.” That comment ultimately helped convince O’Donnell that she needed to teach Clay that bodies do not “belong to an idea.”

Ricki Lake Details Impulsive Facelift — And Shares Thoughts on Results

“Right before I went under, I grabbed my doctor’s hand and said, ‘I will never say, ‘God, I wish you did more.’” And I meant it,” she recalled. “I didn’t want to become that voice — the one that keeps moving the goalpost, never satisfied, the one that turns their own face into a problem one can never quite solve. I wanted a limit. I wanted to still be me, just … less haunted. And I do look like me — A slightly more well-rested, emotionally stable version of me.”

O’Donnell subsequently told reporters on the 2026 Tony Awards red carpet in June that she probably will not have any further cosmetic procedures for the time being.

“Authenticity is the goal in these days and times, and people are lying about everything all day to the American public. It’s very depressing to me and unsettling, and I think all that matters is truth and love,” she explained. “And so, I wanted to be truthful and say all the complicated feelings I had about it.”

In a steamy bathtub selfie, Aguilera, 45, was anything but “dirrty” when she decided to showcase her figure while posing nude for the camera.

“Last looks before xtinaween 😏🎃🤡😈👻,” she wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, October 28.

The revealing photo quickly got the attention of fans, who praised the Grammy winner for her beauty.

“That wasn’t an earthquake. It was just me falling to my knees,” one user wrote in the comments section. Another fan added, “Hope this year’s costume is ‘Pop star releasing new music soon’ 👀 😅.”

The singer hasn’t released an album filled entirely with new material since 2022’s Spanish-language Aguilera.

Aguilera has been known to go big for the spookiest holiday of the year. Last year, the “Genie in a Bottle” singer channeled The Little Mermaid when she went “under the sea” in a mermaid look.

“Another Halloween for the books ✨,” she wrote via Instagram in November 2025. “Playing mermaids 🐚⚓️.”

She also went as “Shipwreck Tina 🏴‍☠️” in a pirate-inspired costume the same year.

“October is my favorite time of the year. It’s almost like New Year’s for me,” Aguilera once shared on an October 2023 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! “We’re definitely not the fancy house on the block that has, like, all the beige pumpkins.”

Instead, she described her backyard decor as being more like a crime scene where “people were getting murdered.”

“Welcome to the FUN HOUSE and take a step into the U P S I D E  D O W N💡🎃,” Aguilera wrote via Instagram in October 2022 when showcasing some of her unforgettable decor for the Halloween season.

Christina Aguilera's Red-Hot Bikini Shoot Leaves Fans Drooling

While Aguilera is keeping this year’s spooktacular costume a secret for now, she has been open about wanting to feel confident in their skin.

In a recent ad for the intimacy brand Playground, the former Voice coach shared her hopes of being “an advocate for women owning their bodies.”

“The minute you hit puberty into maybe having a baby, menopause, we go through so many different phases. Our bodies are constantly changing,” Aguilera shared. “As we prioritize our face, our hair, our makeup, our appearance, honestly, we’re not paying attention — or enough attention — to the epicenter of life itself. You have to take it seriously. You only get one for your entire life, so you have to cherish her and make her feel good.”

“It’s been a very interesting and changing relationship with health and how I view my body over the years,” McVey, 27, exclusively told Us while promoting his business, Bring Your Nutrition.

McVey recalled how he was “always insecure” as a child.

“Being heavier and bigger than everybody else, I always hated what I saw in the mirror. I was always self-confident and never liked the way I looked. Even when I would get skinnier or in shape or lose weight, I would be critiquing myself on, ‘Oh, I need to be skinnier around the waist,’ or whatnot,” he explained. “It’s not something that a lot of men talk about.”

Male Celebs Who’ve Opened Up About Eating Disorders, Body Image Issues

The actor has heard similar stories from other men, saying, “I’ve talked to a lot of men over the years as well that are in the gym that look good and the funny thing is, the more and more you’re in the gym or in tune with your physique or your fitness, a lot of times the body dysmorphia continues to increase. Because then you’re being more picky and more picky.”

After booking his role as Blue on 9-1-1: Nashville, McVey’s relationship with his health evolved once more.

“Before I started filming 9-1-1: Nashville, I was about 225 pounds and that was mostly solid muscle. Because of how busy the 9-1-1 season was, I wasn’t able to eat as much, and instead of training six days a week, I could maybe train two. I went down to about 200 pounds,” he shared with Us. “I lost about 25 pounds of muscle all over. If you were to tell me that two years ago, I probably would have freaked out, because I tied a lot more of my value and my self worth to how I looked on the outside.”

He continued: “Now, I’ve just only — through experience and many, many years — been able to let myself know that I’m valuable even though I don’t have that extra 25 pounds of muscle on me. I still need to and like to stay in shape — obviously, not only for the camera, but for my peace of mind. The gym and fitness does a lot for my mental health, but I don’t tie my self worth, my identity and my confidence to how big or muscular or ripped I am, because if you compare yourself to others — especially in the age of social media — it’s a losing battle.”

McVey used his own experience with health and wellness as inspiration in his professional life.

“[It is] what I attribute some of my successes, discipline and good skills that have transferred to other areas of my life since I was 12. It was the first time I lost 40 pounds and started counting calories, macronutrients and going to the gym and working out,” he continued. “I had bounced up and down multiple times throughout my youth and through college. Then after school when I started doing social media and showing people how I’d lost weight, how I put on muscle, the transparency between between hormones, peptides and coaching people on how to improve their lives and some of the things that improved my lives, I wanted to create a business that provided value for people and helped people. That was one of my biggest goals. Because you can only post shirtless for so long on Instagram.”

In addition to starring on TV, McVey has been working in Bring Your Nutrition, which is set to launch a non-toxic food storage container line made from platinum silicone.

“The vulcanization process of that silicon allows these containers to heat up food in the microwave or the oven without leaching any toxins or microplastics into your food. Most Americans are consuming about a credit card worth of microplastics every single week and from many different sources,” he explained to Us. “Now, we’re finding that those microplastics are endocrine disruptors and we’re seeing in younger and younger people all of these issues — diseases, cancers, neurological disorders and problems — stemming from a lot of these microplastics.”

He added: “They’re meal containers that you can travel with and store your food in. The lid seal is perfect and keeps everything in there. You can bring them to the gym and they don’t break or they’re not heavy like glass. Then you’re not getting any toxins or any microplastics in your food when you heat them up in the microwave or in the oven up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.”

McVey is proud of the career milestone, which comes as he has balanced acting with other responsibilities. “I’m focusing on doing the best job that I can with 9-1-1: Nashville, with being the best husband I can and with running the businesses the best I can,” he said.

The model also acknowledged, however, that finding balance isn’t always easy.

“I’ve always thrived in the chaos a little bit. I’m lucky that at this point in my life and in my 20s I have the energy and the push and the drive and the ambition to [start my own business]. The most important things that I prioritize in my life are time and family, so I figured that if I can spend the majority of my 20s building what I want to build then I can set myself, my wife and my family up,” McVey told Us. “I attribute the balance in being able to do what I do all to my wife Julia because I don’t know and haven’t met anybody else that could handle what my schedule is like on a daily basis. The support that I have out of my partner is how I’m able to keep going and how I’m able to do this and I wouldn’t be able to do it alone. She recognizes the goals that we have in mind of time and time with family and she knows that I enjoy these things and what makes me happy is creating. I’m very passionate about it and I love what I do, so that makes her happy.”

Bring Your Nutrition drops November 2, with early access available on November 1.

“I’m super nervous about this facial surgery tomorrow and I’m nervous about what my face will look like after but health is wealth and that’s all I truly want,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 53, wrote via X on Thursday, October 22.

Glanville further opened up about the upcoming surgery in the Thursday episode of her “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered” podcast, revealing she was feeling both “super excited” and “scared to death” about the procedure.

“Dr. Carlo Henrado is taking my face off on Friday and going to do an exploratory surgery to kind of do a power wash under my skin,” she explained on the podcast.

Brandi Glanville Schedules Exploratory Surgery Amid Facial Disfigurement

Glanville added that Dr. Henrado planned to target two areas under her skin that could be “fungal balls or something alive.”

“I think it’s alive, personally, because it moves when it wants,” she said.

Glanville explained that the procedure itself is intense, again likening it to a “power washer.”

“He’s, like, literally going in there with a power washer, basically, and knives and all this s**t. And then he’s spinning my blood and doing this platelet thing on the inside of my face,” Glanville said. She then quipped, “We might not want my blood at this point.”

Glanville initially suspected she may have a facial parasite when she first exhibited signs of disfigurement in 2023. More recently, she was diagnosed with a “highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Demodex dermatitis and Mononucleosis” after spending more than $113,000 on treatment options, with mixed results.

Earlier this month, she used her podcast to share an update on her mysterious condition and spoke about exploring surgery options.

Brandi Glanville Debuts New Look After Struggling With 'Face Parasite'

“Something is in my face, eating it. I know they’re going to find that out when they go in there,” she told listeners on the October 8 episode of the “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered” podcast. “I’ve scheduled exploratory surgery in a couple weeks. I have two appointments this week. I am so excited. These past four years, I didn’t think I was going to make it.”

In September, Glanville cried on her podcast as she shared that one of her friends had launched a GoFundMe to help with the costs associated with her continuing health woes.

“I’m on all of this crazy medication, [and] even with my insurance, it’s $7,000 a week. Then, I have creditors calling me all day,” Glanville shared on the September 11 episode of her podcast. “[My friend], Gina, started a GoFundMe for me. I’m embarrassed, honestly, ‘cause I don’t like to ask for help.”

“There’s so many layers to that. I’ve gone through different moments. There’s a level of accepting my body and being like, ‘I’m alive. I’m here.’ But then there’s also a level of like, ‘OK, but what was I doing in the past before this?’ I wasn’t going to the gym, I wasn’t drinking water,” Thurston, 35, exclusively told Us on Wednesday, October 21, while promoting Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “There’s a reflection of like, ‘How can I be better for myself?’”

She continued, “And I hesitate to talk about that sometimes because I don’t want people to feel responsible for their cancer because that’s not what I’m saying. Everybody, regardless of a diagnosis, there’s a level of like, ‘Alright, I need to be drinking my water.’ Like, ‘Do I really need that fourth glass of wine? I don’t know.’”

Thurston went public with her breast cancer diagnosis in 2025 and tied the knot with her husband, comedian Jeff Arcuri, that same year. More than 600 days after her diagnosis, Thurston shared earlier this month that there was “no evidence of disease.”

Katie Thurston Says There’s ‘No Evidence of Disease' After Cancer Diagnosis

While on her health journey, Thurston underwent her first cosmetic procedure and felt like she had “control” in her life. (The Breast Cancer Research Foundation spokesperson revealed to fans that she had chin liposuction done in September.)

“It was something I was thinking about doing,” she told Us. “I’ve had so many medical procedures — like biopsies, my breasts have been removed, like so much — I was like, ‘You know what? I’m gonna do this because I want to and just because I have a diagnosis doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to want to be pretty and feel good about myself.’”

She continued, “I got a lot of judgment from people that were like, ‘Well, you have stage IV cancer. You should be happy to be alive.’ Like, I’m also 35, a newlywed. I want to feel hot, OK? I want to feel good about myself and if that means I’m going to the gym … It’s my life, my body, and I think that’s a big thing I’ve also learned. It’s so easy to criticize somebody else but you never know what they’re going through or how they’re feeling. I’ve really learned, ‘Hey if it makes them happy, then I’m happy for them.’”

Despite receiving “judgment” from online users, Thurston shared that she still sees an importance in using her platform and being candid on social media.

“I do try to protect my peace, but I’m also just a very public person, and I’ve never really been shy about my thoughts and my feelings and my experiences,” she said. “I think I shared my diagnosis two days after getting the phone call. So I do recognize when there’s a time to like step away or to turn off the DMs or whatever it is, because I do think it’s so important to find balance and protect your peace. But overall, again, I think I’m just so exposed to it from reality TV life that this is nothing.”

And with her platform, Thurston is continuing to advocate for breast cancer research and early detection.

“The only way to catch that is [through] early detection, and so I’m really trying to educate women, especially those under 40, how to be an advocate for themselves, how to check their breasts,” she said. “Check for changes, not just lumps, but the appearance. Maybe it’s dimpling, maybe it’s inverted nipples or discharge, things that just aren’t normal. Really work with your medical team to figure out if this is something to explore further.”

On Monday, October 19, the True Blood alum, 49, shared an Instagram carousel in which he covers his private parts with a towel while unveiling a huge dragon tattoo down the right side of his naked body. The 3-foot red-and-black body art stretches from the tip of Manganiello’s belly button all the way down to the top of his knee cap.

“In chapter four [of my new book Bloodlines], I related my struggle with the illness to my body sending out knights to fight a (western) dragon that didn’t exist,” he wrote via Instagram on Monday, October 19. “The soldiers would then punch holes throughout my body when they couldn’t find an enemy.”

He added, “The idea to cover my surgery scars with my first tattoo, a three foot dragon down my right side, was my effort to take back what little agency I felt that I had, and to signal to my body to stop attacking the dragon… because the (eastern) dragon was me…”

Joe Manganiello Shares Hospital Photos From 7-Year Health Battle

In his memoir, Manganiello writes about the seven-year health journey he experienced after collapsing on a Wilmington, North Carolina, film set in 2016. The actor said he never received a firm diagnosis from his doctors, though he was told he likely had an autoimmune condition.

Manganiello recalled experiencing a “night in hell” shortly after his collapse when his large intestine began to rupture.

“Rectal blood sprayed out, turning the bathroom floor into a crimson pool, staining the walls, the sink, and tile grout bright red,” he recalled. “My entire large intestine had turned to pus and was about to explode. Had they not cut me open that morning, it would have ruptured, and I would have died immediately of sepsis.”

Manganiello writes in Bloodlines that his then-wife, Sofía Vergara, saved his life by making a “brutal but lifesaving decision to allow my entire large intestine to be removed and a hole to be cut into my abdomen to divert my small intestine” into an ostomy bag. (An ostomy bag is a medical device that collects human waste from a surgically created opening in the abdomen called a stoma.)

The next few months were spent enduring “several nervous breakdowns” as Manganiello dropped from 235 pounds to just 176 while he adjusted to his new reality. The actor claimed that his marriage to Vergara, 54, broke down at the same time because it became “devoid of any emotionality whatsoever.” (Manganiello filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court in July 2023. He and Vergara settled their divorce the following April.)

Joe Manganiello Reveals Whether He's Spoken to Sofia Vergara Since Divorce

When Manganiello struggled to receive a formal diagnosis from Western medicine, he ultimately turned to alternative treatments that he credited with healing him.

“In order to heal, my mind, my body, my spirit all had to align and I needed to become open to some really radical and unorthodox techniques and ideas that lied beyond the boundaries of western medicine,” he shared with fans via Instagram in June.

Bloodlines is available now at all booksellers.

“For years, I’ve eaten healthy,” Bates, 35, began the Saturday, October 17, episode of her “Chad and Erin” vlog. “It was almost like I was stuck at gaining weight or stuck at the same spot on the scale.”

She revealed that “nothing worked” for her after trying different diets, but she knew she “wanted to change something.”

“The game changer for me was really two things paired together,” Bates shared. “For me, it was a mix of carnivore diet and fasting. Those things paired together were really the game changer.”

'Bringing Up Bates' Alum Erin Bates Reveals If She's Had Botox or Filler

Bates, who welcomed her seventh baby in September 2025, made it clear, “I did not do shots or any GLP-1s. I chose not to do that route just because of the side effects that it also has.”

The former reality star noted that she turned to the carnivore diet for a “short term” solution, calling it “super great for your body” and a “reset” to get her weight-loss journey started.

Bates explained that the carnivore diet is “basically all meat, all dairy and eggs,” admitting that it is “pretty boring” but in time you can add back other foods.

She shared examples of her meals, saying that for breakfast she did “a lot of egg souffles, a lot of omelets, boiled eggs.” Her lunches and dinners were more centered on “hamburgers, burgers, cheese, cottage cheese.”

“I would eat a lot of grilled steak, fish, chicken. Really anything,” Bates continued. “I did try to stay away from pork, because I feel like for me pork doesn’t sit well with my stomach.”

She revealed, “When I switched to carnivore, my body started using fat for fuel. … I felt full. I felt satisfied.”

Bates — who was hospitalized in September 2025 for septic shock after giving birth to her youngest child — pointed out that she was “very strict” on the carnivore plan and she “didn’t cheat at all” when she started.

“No fruits, no veggies, no sugar. As far as drinks, I did to all teas,” she added, sharing that although she doesn’t like a warm cup of Joe, black coffee is allowed on the program.

When Bates paired the carnivore regiment with intermittent fasting, she said that’s when everything clicked.

“I would eat within an eight-hour window,” she said. “I eliminated all snacking. Just two to three meals a day. I did not count calories. I ate until I was about 80 percent full.”

In addition to the regular eight-hour eating window, Bates told her followers that she began doing a 24-hour fast once a week.

“That might’ve been like a dinner at 6 p.m. to dinner at 6 p.m. the next day,” she explained. “That was one of the key pieces in the puzzle.”

In time, she worked her way up to a 36-hour fast, which is when Bates said it was “almost like the weight was falling off.”

When it comes to supplements, Bates said she doesn’t take many, pointing to glutathione, vitamin C and magnesium as her go-tos.

She also shared “things to avoid,” saying that seed oils, sugar and white flour are no longer part of her diet.

Erin Bates Reveals Whether She Wants More Kids After Welcoming 7th Baby

Bates admitted that she “did not work out” when she began losing weight, but she did walk with her two youngest children daily.

“I started working out after I lost most of the weight,” she said, noting that after dropping approximately 25 pounds, she began doing arm, leg, stomach and posture exercises — doing three sets of 10 exercises every day.

Bates explained, “Every day I did girl push ups,” and then she’d add in 30 squats, 30 lunges, 30 wall sits, upping her weights once she needed a new challenge.

“It’s really helped every area in my life in such a big way,” Bates concluded. “It’s not just losing weight. … ‘It’s really about saying, I want to be the healthiest version of myself.’”

The expectant influencer, 27, took to TikTok on Thursday, October 15, to open up about “a topic that [she] really doesn’t talk about very often.”

“I had an eating disorder for about seven years on and off,” Kiser, who is pregnant with her and husband Brady Kiser’s third child, shared. “I grew up dancing, so I really do feel like a lot of eating behaviors, body dysmorphia, self-consciousness with my body really did come from dance, even though so many good things came from it.”

While reflecting on how “far” she’s come, Emilie shared that Brady, 29, was really the one who helped heal her.

“I really healed from it after Brady and I got married because he was able to help me a lot through it and that was kinda when a lot of people noticed in my personal life that I was struggling a lot,” the content creator shared. (Emilie and Brady share sons Teddy, 16 months, and Trigg, who died at age 3 from a drowning accident.)

She continued, “When you’ve suffered from an ED and it took up such a large chunk of your life, you constantly have moments where you’re like, ‘Oh wow. I’ve made a lot of progress.’”

Now, when she’s enjoying a meal, Emilie shared that she “can’t believe it used to be a trigger” for her. “I can’t believe this used to be a food that I wouldn’t let myself have, or that I was so worried about all the time,” she said, noting she never thought there would be a day where she wasn’t tracking calories or thinking about what her body looked like.

“I was thinking about it today [because] I am not fixated on my body at all anymore, and I think that comes with age but also it comes with healing,” she added. “I would not have let myself have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Absolutely not. I was just thinking about it today, like, I’m so proud of myself because I don’t even think about that anymore. I eat what I want.”

She noted that while she’s not a “dietitian” or “expert” on eating disorders, there is “hope” for anyone else who may be struggling. “I’m 27 years old, I’m pregnant with my third baby. I have come so far with food and the way that I think about food, and I don’t even think about it anymore,” Emilie said.

“Final countdown,” Cooper, 32, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, October 13, alongside a series of photos showing off her growing baby bump ahead of giving birth to her first baby with her husband Matt Kaplan.

In the first pic, the “Call Her Daddy” podcast host let her bump hang out of a graphic baby tee. She styled the look with a low-rise, flowy white skirt featuring an elastic waistband with a ribbon that she tied in a bow.

Cooper accessorized with a cheetah-print bag, a brown leather watch band, a gold Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet and a cuff. She tied her ensemble together with black shades and went makeup-free.

In another pic, Cooper stunned in a red athletic top and blue leggings complete with a burgundy and white stripe. She also posted a pic of herself with a band wrapped around her belly during a doctor’s appointment.

Her celebrity friends and fans were quick to share their excitement for the soon-to-be family of three in the comments section.

Alex Cooper Is Pregnant, Expecting Baby No. 1 With Husband Matt Kaplan

“Real talk, you’re everything I wished I looked like pregnant. Glowing. ❤️,” Stassi Schroeder gushed. One of her followers added, “The bump is bumping 🥺🥺🥺🥺 good luck Alex!!!!!!! Can’t wait for the mom content.”

A second added, “Good luck, Father Cooper!! Baby is almost fully baked ❤️.”

Cooper announced that she and Kaplan, 42, are expecting their first baby together in May. For her announcement, she wore a white knit crop top featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline and loose fit. Cooper styled the piece with matching pants while sitting on an armchair and smiling at Kaplan. He looked back at her with his hand on her thigh.

“Our family 🤍,” she wrote alongside the pics.

Cooper and Kaplan met in 2020 during a business Zoom call. In February 2021, they officially confirmed that they were dating. Two years later, he got down on one knee and popped the question to Cooper. The duo later tied the knot during an intimate ceremony in Riviera Maya, Mexico, in April 2024.

Schumer, 45, took to Instagram on Tuesday, October 13, to show off her figure in a glamorous one-piece while vacationing with family.

One snapshot showed the comedian holding onto a boat railing while wearing a white TA3 swimsuit featuring pink roses and green leaf details. The look was complete with a lace-up back and underwire bustier cups.

The Trainwreck actress accessorized with a pair of ombré sunglasses. She tied her blonde hair into a ponytail with her ends styled in beachy waves.

Elsewhere in the social media post, Schumer shared clips of herself scuba diving with fish. She also sat on the side of a fountain and posed for the camera in a gray T-shirt dress. Schumer made her look even more tropical with a bright pink flower tucked behind her ear.

“Our family had the time of our lives at @beachesresorts in Turks and Caicos 2 best decisions of my life are becoming a mom and getting certified to dive by PADI @paditv,” she captioned the post. Her celebrity friends and fans complimented her in the comments section.

Amy Schumer Shows Off Another Chic Swimsuit After 'Thirsty' Mirror Selfie

“❤️,” Lindsay Lohan commented. Leslie Mann added, “Babe,” and Vanderpump Rules alum Billie Lee gushed, “Okay hottie! 😍 so happy for you Amy!”

This isn’t the first time Schumer has shown off her figure in a fashionable swimsuit. In July, she put her C-section scar on display while rocking a white bikini. Her two-piece featured triangle cups with halter straps and a gold charm between her cups. She styled the top with matching bottoms finished with thick, pleated straps.

“C-section peaking [sic] out saying, ‘Yeah, I’m a warrior,’” Schumer captioned the post.

Schumer welcomed her son Gene, now 7, in May 2019 with her ex-husband Chris Fischer. The former couple split in 2025 and their divorce was finalized in September 2026.

“I remember one time I was talking to my older sister, and I broke down and told her, I said, ‘I think I’m struggling with this because I really don’t want to eat food that’s going to make me fat,’” Jinger, 32, told sister Joy-Anna Duggar on the Wednesday, October 14, episode of their “Call Your Sister” podcast. “I said, ‘I think I’m avoiding that.’ I told her that, and I was weeping.”

Jinger struggled with disordered eating as a teenager, first confiding in Jana, now 36, that she was nervous about attending a conference with their family.

“I went on a trip to one of those Journey of the Heart things [before], and I remember I saw a girl who struggled with bulimia, and she was literally sickly and she had so many health issues,” Jinger recalled. “She looked terrible because her body was withering away and she was in a terrible place. Ultimately, I was looking at her and I’m like, ‘Just stop doing that’ as I’m over here doing the same thing in a different way ‘cause I did not have bulimia … but I was avoiding everything.”

Jinger Duggar Avoided Eating as a Teen: 'I Thought I Was Too Fat'

After noticing the girl’s struggles, Jinger knew she didn’t “want to do that” or “end up like that.”

“I remember talking to Jana and maybe Jill [Duggar] was there too, but I told ‘em, I said, ‘I don’t want to do this, and I want to get accountability,’” Jinger noted. “We were not at home, so when I got back home, I told Mom everything, that I was struggling [and] how I was avoiding food. She met me with such grace and kindness and she said, ‘Jinger, I struggled with bulimia when I was young.’”

Jinger ultimately felt “reassured” after speaking with mom Michelle Duggar.

“She was not like, ‘Oh my goodness, here’s three cheeseburgers, eat them all,’ but she was like, ‘No, it’s OK, you can eat healthy food and be healthy,’” the Counting On alum noted. “She also said, ‘You don’t need to avoid food because that’s going to harm your body later.’ And so, she got me on an accountability track.”

Jinger Reveals What Was 'Not Necessarily Healthy' About Growing Up Duggar

With Michelle’s help, Jinger began using her phone to document her daily diet.

“I was one of the first ones to get a phone in the family, [and Mom] said, ‘Text me when it’s time to eat [and] you text me everything you ate,’” Jinger said. “She would also check in on me. So, we were eating meals, but if she was gone, I would text her and I would have accountability from somebody else who was there, like, ‘This is what I’m eating.’”

“Being anorexic nine times out of 10 is not going to give you the body you are craving nor desiring and as someone who has struggled with many, many forms of eating disorders, specifically anorexia, I wanna talk about this,” the model, 24, said via TikTok on Saturday, October 10.

She continued, “I feel like a huge misconception about models or people that have to make their body look a certain way for their job is that we don’t eat and that couldn’t be further from the truth.” Ponton went on to share that she prioritizes sleeping, eating, working out and cutting out “sugary drinks,” which she said includes alcohol.

Another misconception Ponton discussed was that people sometimes think they will “look the best” while privately battling an eating disorder.

“When I was going through the height of my eating disorders, I have never looked worse,” she recalled. “I looked dull; my body was not going the way that I thought it was going to be. And now, as somebody who does prioritize those things that I was just explaining, I have never felt better and I have never looked better.”

“And trust me when I say that took many, many years,” Ponton emphasized. “Many years to get to.”

Ponton explained that she wants to talk about eating disorders online to help those who may be struggling. “I hope this helps somebody,” she said before concluding the video.

In the comments section, Ponton added, “I said 9/10 because I didn’t want to make an assumption about EVERY single person who has ever experienced an ED.” Her followers were quick to support her speaking on the matter, writing, “99999/100000**,” which Ponton ”liked,” and “PREACHHHHHH.”

Kendall, 27, took to Instagram on Thursday, October 8, to show off her curves in a risky white dress. In the pic, she rocked a white look featuring halter straps and completely open cutouts that exposed her side and underboob. Kendall made sure her fans got an angle of her look by snapping photos on both sides. The It Girl styled the look with a white bangle bracelet and a sleek brown manicure.

For glam, the model donned a dewy base featuring glowy foundation, concealer under her eyes, bronzed cheeks and a touch of blush. She added even more drama to her look with pearly white eyeshadow, highlighter swept on the top of her nose, filled-in eyebrows, mascara and pink, glossy lips. Her brunette hair was parted down the center and styled in a bombshell blowout.

“🪽,” Kendall captioned the post.

Her boyfriend, TJ Palma, and her fans went wild over the look in the comments section.

“❤️❤️😍,” Palma, 24, gushed. One of her followers added, “BEAUTIFUL ANGEL WOW😇🤍🤍.” A third commented, “You are ethereal.”

This isn’t the first time Kendall has shown some skin. Just last month, she walked through the streets of New York City in a naked dress. At the time, she rocked a completely sheer dress with blue floral beading and silver swirls. She matched her look to her chrome peep-toe heels.

That same month, she rocked a nude lace bra top with fur sleeves while on the go. She posed in the back of a car wearing the barely-there top and a leather slit skirt complete with silver stud details and a chain belt. She completed her ensemble with nude heels.

“I need a car seat,” Kendall playfully captioned the post.

Nader, 29, took to Instagram on Wednesday, October 7, to show off her curves and a vintage Chanel necklace. In her mirror selfie, she zoomed in on her chest while wearing a barely-there look with a daringly low-cut neckline, nearly having a nip slip.

She accessorized her risqué outfit with a statement necklace circa 1997 Chanel. The piece featured a number of chains lined up with a black stone detail set in a scalloped gold setting with turquoise gems. The centerpiece of the look was a large gold pendant with the brand’s signature logo and dangling sage details.

This is far from the first sexy snap Nader has shared through the years. Last month, she showed off her wild side in an animal-print bikini while taking a quick trip to Italy.

Her set was equipped with black-and-white zebra stripes and lace detailing. The design tied in a bow over the center of her chest. Nader made her look even hotter with low-rise bottoms finished with the same embellishments and a matching cover-up, which she let fall off one of her shoulders. The Love Thy Nader star pushed her blonde hair back and accessorized with oversized sunglasses.

Brooks previously went viral during another trip to Italy when she sailed through Sardinia with her sister Sarah Jane Nader, her dad, Breaux Nader, and her mom, Holland Nader. At the time, she took her top off and wore nothing other than white crochet bottoms in front of her family. After making headlines over the moment, Brooks laughed off the situation while chatting with Entertainment Tonight.

“I don’t care if I’m not from Europe. I’m from Louisiana. I grew up in an all-girl household. We’re always naked together as sisters,” she explained in September.

Brooks also noted that her dad had no issue with her baring all, quipping, “My dad’s half blind, so he didn’t even notice. He was like, ‘I don’t care.’”

“He has selective hearing and selective seeing. I was just having the time of my life and really not thinking that anyone was documenting some of it, but we love it. It’s great,” she said.

“I’ve said it [on the podcast], and then I got all these weird DMs of people, doctors’ offices, being like, ‘We’ll do it,’” Kelce, 34, revealed during the Thursday, October 8, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast with guest Jen Hamilton. “And I was like, ‘Put them on the banned list.’”

The media personality continued, “Like, I literally have a list of doctors that reached out after I said something about it on the podcast. Because I just want them put back where they were.”

Kylie, who shares daughters Wyatt, 7, Ellie, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finn, 19 months, with husband Jason Kelce, shared on her podcast in February that she hoped to someday have a breast lift.

Kylie Kelce Says Belly Button Piercing Is 'Stretched Out' After Pregnancies

“To be clear, there is a rough plan that eventually I will put my boobs back where they belong,” she explained. “Because four kids. That’s all I have to say about that.”

Kylie and Jason, 38, tied the knot in April 2018 after four years of dating. The couple welcomed Wyatt in October 2019, followed by Ellie in March 2021 and Bennett in February 2023. She gave birth to Finn in March 2025.

Throughout her motherhood journey, Kylie has been open about her insecurities. During an August 2025 episode of her podcast, Kylie admitted that she didn’t appreciate her postpartum body until after she had baby No. 3.

“To me, I find [postpartum bodies] jarring, and I’ve done it four times. Every single time, like, getting dressed postpartum is an absolute nightmare,” she said at the time. “It is because you’re like, ‘Oh, the baby is out. Like, I should be able to fit in my jeans again,’ and you just … you don’t.”

Kylie continued, “And I truly think when we talk about, like, getting to a point where you can appreciate the way your body has changed, the stretch marks that you now have, it is so important to recognize that it’s not that you pushed the baby out and you looked at your body and you were like, ‘You know what? I still got it.’”

She concluded, “If you had that experience, amazing. That was not mine. It took me until probably after my third baby to be like, ‘You know what? My stomach is never going to look the same.’ And that’s OK, because the tiny humans that I have created with my body … you just have to sit in this moment of gratitude.”

“Do I have any regrets about it? Yes, because I was too young,” the That’s So Raven alum, 40, said during the Monday, October 5, episode of the “Allure Perspectives” podcast while discussing the two breast reductions she underwent as a minor.

“I should have gotten it done after puberty,” Raven-Symoné continued. “And a lot of other things should have happened, but it was very hastily done. Very well done, I mean, they still look good. But it was hastily done, and I wish I was stronger to say no.”

Raven-Symoné joked that she never minded having larger breasts.

“I got into anything! I was first in line,” she said. “Push these little babies up, they get you anywhere. These triple Ds were popping.”

Raven-Symone Hopes She Won't Get 'Sued' After Writing Upcoming Memoir

Raven-Symoné added that she is now 80 percent confident in her own skin after struggling with feeling only “10 percent” confident during the height of her Disney Channel days.

“Me and my chest have conversations on the regular,” she quipped.

Raven-Symoné previously opened up about her breast reductions — the first of which occurred when she was 15 — during a December 2024 episode of her and wife Miranda Pearman-Maday’s “Tea Time with Raven & Miranda” podcast.

“I went from a triple D all the way down to a B. Someone said I needed to do it in order to get a show,” she revealed, adding that she opted to get liposuction at the same time.

“I was like, ‘Yeah, if I get lipo, will people stop calling me fat?’ And so, I got a twofer,” Raven-Symoné continued.

Why Raven-Symone Gets 'A Little Bit’ Triggered to Just be Called Raven

The surgeries came with complications, including the Raven’s Home actress suffering a seizure when she awoke due to the anesthesia. She also still has scars on her chest from the procedure.

“I have scars. I still have scar tissue to this day,” she said. “And I gained weight after and had to, like, go back for a quick little, like, [get] a little bit more out ‘cause [my breasts] were still too big for others’ feelings.”

Raven-Symoné also reflected on how times have changed since she was a teen.

“I felt like boys watched the show because I had big boobs,” she recalled. “I feel like that was the case. They came for the boobs and stayed for the comedy. There’s this beautiful embracing of the body now that I didn’t get as a young girl.”

“Weight/pilaties help you recover faster after birth so we are getting it in,” Carson, 32, wrote via her Instagram Story on Sunday, October 4, alongside a sweaty face emoji.

The Dancing With the Stars pro showed off some of her go-to Pilates and weight-lifting moves while in the gym. She wore a navy, tank-top style sports bra, black bellbottom leggings and white sneakers as she sweated it out.

“I did one of our Mama Strong classes,” Carson told her followers describing her Finesse By Witney program routine. “You work out with me, I take you through step by step each move. We do it to music. It’s really fun.”

Carson explained that the Mama Strong class is “one of my favorite workouts” from her app, adding that she did a “full body Pilates” routine that day.

Her fitness tips come from personal experience, having given birth to sons Leo and Jet in 2021 and 2023, respectively.

Carson announced in August that she and husband Carson McAllister are expecting their third baby.

Unlike her first two pregnancies, Carson is competing on season 35 of DWTS with partner Guillermo Rodriguez while expecting.

“I would be lying if I said it wasn’t very daunting. I’ve never been this far along pregnant and competing on Dancing With the Stars, ever,” Carson confessed on Good Morning America following her pregnancy reveal. “I don’t know if it’s ever been done.”

While Carson is in uncharted waters, she said she’s “so proud to be a woman, to be creating life and growing this human, and to be able to do the show and compete … is such a huge blessing.”

How Witney Carson’s Pregnancy Is Affecting ‘DWTS’ Rehearsals So Far

Carson and McAllister, 33, who’ve been married since 2016, announced last month that they are expecting another baby boy — which the dancer is thrilled about.

“‘I’m so sorry you didn’t get your girl…’” Carson wrote via Instagram on September 22, seemingly referring to some people’s reaction to her third child being a boy. “There is truly no disappointment here.”

The Utah native gushed, “I get to be the mama of THREE beautiful boys and I couldn’t feel more grateful, blessed, or excited. 🩵.”

Being a boy mom is something Carson can’t get enough of — in fact, it’s being apart from her boys that causes her the most stress these days.

“It does get harder and harder, and, you know, obviously, being a mom comes first to me,” she exclusively told Us on September 29 while talking about living in California for the show while her husband and sons are back home in Florida. “All the hormones rushing through me also, I think, made it a little bit more intense.”

Carson revealed that her dance partner, Rodriguez, 55, has made it easier to be apart from her loved ones.

“Honestly, I love what I do, and I am so grateful that I have a partner who is genuinely kind, who never gives up, and he’s just willing to learn,” she shared. “He’s willing to put in the work, so it’s all worth it in the end. I’m just happy to be here.”

Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

On Saturday, October 3, the American Idol host, 51, offered a look via Instagram at what a day for him looks like from “start to finish” — sharing a peek at his morning and twilight bike rides. Seacrest was shirtless in both clips, allowing his abs to be appreciated in all of their glory.

Fans and friends held nothing back as they admired the TV host’s chiseled physique.

“I look exactly like this without all of the muscley ripply bits and more squishy bits made out of pasta and pizza and potatoes stuffed into spanx,” TV host Dina Pugliese posted. “But other than that. Twins.”

“Ok seacrest, save some for the rest of us,” Walker actor Colin Ford quipped, with DJ Diplo adding, “ryan relax !!!”

“I would never wear a shirt,” another commenter declared.

Ahead of his 50th birthday, Seacrest told Entertainment Tonight in December 2024 that he was “over-exercising, eating better, over-training” so he could “make myself feel 29 again.”

“I feel good because I can’t believe I’m turning 50,” he said. “I’m doing everything I can to make myself feel like I’m not 50.”

Seacrest more recently spoke exclusively to Us in December 2025 about how he was approaching major lifestyle changes following his dad Gary’s death from prostate cancer that October.

Ryan Seacrest Through the Years: From Radio Personality to Media Mogul

“Losing someone so close to you — my dad, my best friend — you realize that life is short,” he said. “You’ve got to make the most of it every day.”

He went on to say, “Some of the little things that we let bother us are not important in the grand scheme. That resonated with me.”

Seacrest somehow manages to fit a fitness regimen into a very busy schedule while hosting both American Idol and Wheel of Fortune, as well as fronting Celebrity Wheel of Fortune alongside Vanna White and recording his syndicated radio show On Air with Ryan Seacrest.

His calendar was so jam-packed over the summer that he skipped out on attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding at Madison Square Garden in July because he was booked to host coverage of America’s 250 birthday celebrations across Disney’s stable of networks.

Ryan Seacrest's Hometown Renames High School Football Stadium After Him

“Travis and Taylor got married. I had to keep a secret from you,” he revealed to On Air with Ryan Seacrest listeners on July 6. “It was a confidential invitation to everybody that was invited. So when you were doing your reports about the wedding, I was just on the inside screaming, outside very composed.”

Seacrest continued, “I RSVP’d to go, and then Disney hired me to do the 4th of July 250 special on the 3rd and the 4th, so I had to cancel.”
