<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/below-deck/"><em>Below Deck</em></a>&lsquo;s <strong>Rainbeau de Roos</strong> didn&rsquo;t expect to be accused of being &ldquo;over flirty&rdquo; with the men on board.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yrTfvlKHNs" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Us</em>&lsquo; exclusive clip</a> from the Monday, November 9, episode, Rainbeau asks <strong>Rosa Simms-Preston</strong> about rumors of &ldquo;tension&rdquo; between them.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

<p>&ldquo;Sometimes you&rsquo;re overly flirty with guys,&rdquo; Rosa tells the second stew. &ldquo;I think we were just a bit shocked because you said you had a boyfriend.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Rainbeau, however, <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/why-did-below-decks-fraser-olender-call-a-guest-a-shady-bitch/">didn&rsquo;t see any issue</a> with her behavior.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/below-deck-season-13-cast-captain-kerry-fraser-and-more/" target="_blank">'Below Deck' Season 13 Introduces New Crew Members: Meet the Cast</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;OK, fair. That&rsquo;s my entertainment throughout the day,&rdquo; she explains. &ldquo;I flirt with everyone.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Rosa, however, claims Rainbeau isn&rsquo;t flirty &ldquo;with everyone,&rdquo; adding, &ldquo;You flirt with people it&rsquo;s not appropriate to be doing it with.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Rainbeau didn&rsquo;t agree that she only spoke with men <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/below-decks-captain-kerry-teases-surprise-franchise-changes/">who had other women interested</a> in them already. &ldquo;Do I now have to walk around with a trash bag over my head because you&rsquo;re insecure?&rdquo; she wonders in a confessional. &ldquo;Like, I&rsquo;m sorry you don&rsquo;t feel like you can compete with me.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Captain <strong>Kerry Titheradge</strong> and <strong>Fraser Olender</strong> return with Rainbeau on season 13, alongside new crew members including chef<strong> Moe Vilomar</strong>, bosun <strong>Alex Wright</strong>, deckhands <strong>James Bishop, Matthew Fitzpatrick-Buck</strong> and <strong>Jessenia Stidger</strong> and stews <strong>Kaylee Brown</strong> and Rosa.</p>
<p>Before the season premiered in October, Kerry spoke to <em>Us</em> about how some surprise changes would be introduced.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This season, we&rsquo;re going to have some changes that I don&rsquo;t think we&rsquo;ve ever seen on Below Deck before,&rdquo; Kerry exclusively revealed. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s definitely some changes. There&rsquo;s gonna be some decisions made that maybe I may have to rethink &mdash; if I could rethink again &mdash; which way I went with.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The captain <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/below-deck-chef-gets-into-physical-fight-with-aggressive-strangers/">was looking forward</a> to seeing how the shakeups would play out on screen.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m excited to look back on myself and see how I manage the boat with hindsight in mind,&rdquo; he noted. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m already seeing things in the first episode that I had no idea about. So off the bat, there&rsquo;s already things that I&rsquo;m excited to see myself.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Kerry continued: &ldquo;This season, for me, it was such a different and unique part of the world. The Caribbean is lovely. I also did Norway, which was very exciting. But going into Thailand, it was a totally different experience. I really wanted to feel the place and they call it &lsquo;the country of smiles,&rsquo; and the energy that you get from that country, it just reverberates for everybody. Everything comes from the top, right? So if I&rsquo;m stressed and wound up and micromanaging and just not happy to be around, it kind of filters through the whole crew.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>Below Deck</em> airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.</p>

<p class="p1"><strong>Whitney Way Thore</strong> is opening up about her road to parenthood like never before.</p>
<p class="p1">In <i>Us</i>&rsquo; exclusive sneak peek of the Tuesday, November 10, season premiere of <i>My Big Fat Fabulous Life</i>, Whitney, 42, tells close friend <strong>Ashley</strong> she was pregnant for a short period of time.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;This is from October,&rdquo; she says while holding up a positive pregnancy test. &ldquo;I was only pregnant, like, a few days. It was chemical.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">According to the <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22188-chemical-pregnancy" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">Cleveland Clinic</span></a>, a chemical pregnancy is a very early miscarriage that happens within the first five weeks of pregnancy before it can be seen on an ultrasound.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/pictures/celebrity-pregnancy-announcements-of-2026-charles-melton-and-more/" target="_blank">Celebrity Pregnancy Announcements of 2026: Jessa Duggar and More</a></p>
<p class="p1">Having one chemical pregnancy, however, doesn&rsquo;t mean a woman can&rsquo;t carry a baby to term. Many who&rsquo;ve experienced early miscarriages go on to have successful pregnancies.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;Back in early October, I did an IUI, or artificial insemination with donor sperm at my doctor&rsquo;s office, and for the first time, I got a positive pregnancy test,&rdquo; Whitney shares in a separate confessional interview. &ldquo;It wasn&rsquo;t even a week, and I&rsquo;ve got my period, and I took another test, and obviously it was negative.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">The TLC reality star continues, &ldquo;Having a chemical pregnancy might not seem like a big deal to most people because it is so incredibly common. But for me, someone who&rsquo;s been trying to get pregnant for so long, it feels huge. I mean, it is basically a very early miscarriage.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">While Ashley tries to console her, she can&rsquo;t help but ask her BFF why she didn&rsquo;t tell anyone.</p>

<p class="p1">&ldquo;I almost feel like some people would think, &lsquo;Well, you didn&rsquo;t lose anything. It wasn&rsquo;t actually a baby,&rsquo;&rdquo; Whitney shares in a confessional interview. &ldquo;But you definitely do feel like you lost something.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">In the new season of <i>My Big Fat Fabulous Life</i>, Whitney has moved back to Charlotte and is seeing a new man named <strong>Jake</strong>. According to the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H_9-2Mz3hA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">trailer</span></a>, she still wants a baby and is taking a <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/news/my-big-fat-fabulous-lifes-whitney-way-thore-lost-100-lbs/"><span class="s1">weight-loss medication</span></a> prescribed by her doctor in hopes of increasing her chances.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/whitney-ports-fertility-journey-quotes-after-pregnancy-losses/" target="_blank">Whitney Port's Quotes About Her Fertility Journey After Pregnancy Losses</a></p>
<p class="p1">Close friends like Ashley remain confident that Whitney can accomplish everything she wants to. At the same time, they hope their bestie can take the time she needs to heal.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;Hearing that Whitney went through this chemical pregnancy alone and didn&rsquo;t tell anyone breaks my heart,&rdquo; Ashley says. &ldquo;You thought you were growing a human and now you&rsquo;re not, and that&rsquo;s traumatic.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1"><i>My Big Fat Fabulous Life</i> returns to TLC Tuesday, November 10, at 10 p.m. ET.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/love-is-blind/"><em>Love Is Blind</em></a>&lsquo;s <strong>Michaella Giorgio</strong> and beekeeper <strong>Matt Waldrip</strong> are breaking down what happened between them off camera following their awkward moment at the season 11 reunion.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We had very different interpretations of our relationship, and I think that emotions were high at the reunion,&rdquo; Matt, 37, told Netflix&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/love-is-blind-season-11-matt-beekeeper-michaella-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tudum</a>.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>When the season 11 cast came together for the reunion special, which debuted Sunday, November 8, Matt revealed he reconnected with Michaella, 35, after she <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-is-blinds-michaella-ends-rob-engagement-before-wedding/">broke off her engagement to <strong>Rob Feeley</strong></a>. Matt confessed he fell in love with Michaella, but he ultimately called off their relationship.</p>
<p>Michaella, meanwhile, said the duo never should have been more than friends, claiming Matt&rsquo;s interpretation was &ldquo;an exaggeration&rdquo; of what really happened.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-is-blind-season-11-reunions-biggest-bombshells/" target="_blank">Love Is Blind's Sarah and John Address Divorce: More Reunion Bombshells</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;It was never communicated to me that she wanted to be just friends,&rdquo; Matt told Tudum. &ldquo;We were kind of revisiting our connection that we had in the pods that was more than friends. It was really a romantic connection.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The pair were together for about two months after filming wrapped. &ldquo;Sometimes two people can share the same experience and walk away with two different memories,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;My love for her certainly was real during those times we dated.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Matt pointed out that the distance between them and his role as a single dad provided some challenges. He also claimed they &ldquo;both cried&rdquo; when they called it quits.</p>
<p>Michaella, for her part, said Matt was a welcome departure from her relationship with Rob, who &ldquo;blindsided&rdquo; her with his behavior outside of the pods. (The pair <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-is-blinds-michaella-defends-robs-mom-for-having-doubts/">broke up</a> before their wedding day.)</p>
<p>&ldquo;What&rsquo;s great about [me and Matt] is we want the same thing out of life &hellip; but I think our journeys to get there are really different,&rdquo; she told Tudum. &ldquo;I think that&rsquo;s kind of why it would never work.&rdquo;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/the-most-shocking-love-is-blind-breakups-after-the-reunions-aired-colleen-and-matt-more/" target="_blank">The Most Shocking &lsquo;Love Is Blind&rsquo; Breakups That Took Place After Reunions</a></p>
<p>During the reunion, Michaella denied ever saying she was &ldquo;in love&rdquo; with Matt. She did, however, admit she said &ldquo;I love you&rdquo; while she was &ldquo;on mushrooms.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;That was probably the most hurtful thing she said, because I have no recollection of that,&rdquo; Matt said after the reunion. &ldquo;I live a very wholesome life &hellip; I&rsquo;ve never done shrooms. It was almost like she was minimizing or dismissing her feelings for me, which were communicated to me as being very real.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Matt said he wants the best for Michaella, but he doesn&rsquo;t &ldquo;have a desire to reconnect&rdquo; with her again. Michaella also said she&rsquo;s looking forward to finding new connections outside of the <em>Love Is Blind</em> world.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m excited to start dating again,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I know how to be in a relationship. I can do it. I can be a really great partner.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>Love Is Blind</em> is available to stream on Netflix.</p>

<p>In <em>Us</em>&lsquo; exclusive first look from the Monday, November 9, episode of <em>Name That Tune</em>, Robach, 53, and Holmes, 49, were facing off against each other. Holmes, who was competing for the Chloe and Maude Foundation, was tasked with trying to guess a song first.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>Holmes ultimately couldn&rsquo;t remember the title of the <strong>Ed Sheeran</strong> song &ldquo;Thinking Out Loud&rdquo; &mdash; and neither could Robach, whose charity of choice was the 5 Under 40 Foundation. After both of them failed to give an answer, bandleader Robin Thicke played the song in full, which led to Holmes pulling Robach in for a dance.</p>
<p>Host <strong>Jane Krakowski</strong> pointed out that &ldquo;<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/amy-robach-and-t-j-holmes-on-marriage-after-gma3-scandal/">romance is in the air</a>&rdquo; as Holmes and Robach continued to dance.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/everything-gmas-amy-robach-and-t-j-holmes-have-said-about-each-other-were-blessed-and-we-know-it/" target="_blank">Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes' Candid Quotes About Each Other</a></p>
<p>Holmes and Robach&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/amy-robach-and-t-j-holmes-have-been-approached-by-netflix-for-project/">relationship made headlines</a> in November 2022 when they were spotted spending time together outside of the <em>GMA3</em> set. (Robach was married to <strong>Andrew Shue</strong> at the time, while Holmes was married to <strong>Marilee Fiebig</strong>. Shue, 59, and Fiebig, 48, are now married to each other.)</p>
<p>The former coanchors were axed from ABC as the scandal unfolded, but they continued working together on a podcast. They haven&rsquo;t shied away from sharing their more challenging moments, even working through an issue live on the air during a January 2024 episode of their show.</p>

We&rsquo;re hearing from a lot of you all on our latest episode of the podcast,&rdquo; Holmes said in an Instagram video that same month. &ldquo;It was something we really struggled and debated about whether or not we should even put out there &mdash; but at this point I&rsquo;m glad we did.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Robach added: &ldquo;Our larger goal in putting out our latest episode was to show that, yes, we like to show pictures of us smiling like everyone else and laughing on social media, but if we want to be real and we want to be transparent, we wanted to show all the sides of us and I would say most relationships. So we hope that all you get something out of it, and we hope you keep coming back.&rdquo;</p>

<p>During an exclusive interview with <em>Us</em> the following year, the duo gushed over their connection.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I haven&rsquo;t found somebody I want to grow old with. I&rsquo;ve found the person to stay young with,&rdquo; Holmes said in March 2025. &ldquo;She literally is someone who stops and smells the roses.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Holmes continued to <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/amy-robach-and-t-j-holmes-marry-in-private-arkansas-wedding/">praise Robach for her outlook</a> on life. &ldquo;As long as she keeps that youthful exuberance, excitement for life, curiosity for life, that is youthful, it is attractive, it is energetic and that is what I love about her,&rdquo; he told Us.</p>
<p>Robach was just as grateful to have found Holmes. &ldquo;This guy is my favorite person to do anything and everything with,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;He brings so much joy and so much laughter into every situation. I have never laughed so much with one person in my entire life. So if you can find someone to laugh with, that&rsquo;s your person.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Holmes and Robach announced their engagement in October 2025, getting married nearly one year later in a private Arkansas wedding in September.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/adam-brody/"><strong>Adam Brody</strong></a> was absent from an event celebrating<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/nobody-wants-this/"><em> Nobody Wants This</em></a> after drama surrounding his public support for Palestine.</p>
<p><strong>Kristen Bell, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons </strong>and<strong> Jackie Tohn</strong> attended an FYC conversation in Los Angeles on Friday, November 6, alongside co-showrunner <strong>Bruce Eric Kaplan</strong>. They were joined by costume designer <strong>Negar Ali-Kline</strong> and music supervisor <strong>Manish Raval</strong>, but Brody, 46, was noticeably missing.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>Attendees <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/nobody-wants-this-casts-quotes-about-adam-brodys-palestine-support/">were reportedly told Brody</a> is working on a project in the U.K. (Creator<strong> Erin Foster</strong> and co-showrunner <strong>Jenni Konner</strong> were also not present at the event, which took place shortly after the show&rsquo;s fourth season was confirmed.)</p>
<p>Brody won over viewers with his role as &ldquo;hot rabbi&rdquo; Noah when Nobody Wants This premiered in 2024. The show follows Noah&rsquo;s relationship with Joanne (Bell), who is agnostic, and the challenges they face adapting to each other&rsquo;s lifestyles.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/which-nobody-wants-this-stars-are-arent-returning-for-season-4/" target="_blank">Which 'Nobody Wants This' Stars Are, Aren't Returning After Political Drama?</a></p>
<p>Last month, Brody <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/nobody-wants-this-star-addresses-cast-feud-rumor-over-gaza/">sparked a conversation</a> after voicing his support for Palestine amid the ongoing conflict with Israel.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I have spoken a lot about it privately. I haven&rsquo;t spoken much about it publicly,&rdquo; he told GQ in October. &ldquo;Put me down as thinking it&rsquo;s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine.&rdquo;</p>

<p>He continued: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s awful that it&rsquo;s taken so much death and misery, but it does feel like it&rsquo;s reaching a breaking point that it should have a while ago. I&rsquo;m hopeful that another administration can really do some good and correct some of these policies that are helping that situation be as awful as it is.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Foster, 44, subsequently spoke out on the &ldquo;complicated&rdquo; situation.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I think our work environment, our set is very similar to dinner tables around the world where people are having debate and discussion and disagreeing,&rdquo; she said on the &ldquo;Not Skinny But Not Fat&rdquo; podcast. &ldquo;While I love Adam, I also disagree with him. And that&rsquo;s OK.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Foster, who converted to Judaism before marrying music executive <strong>Simon Tikhman</strong>, reflected on how her experience inspired Nobody Wants This.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/tv-shows-renewed-in-2026-2027-which-are-coming-back-for-more-seasons/" target="_blank">Hulu Makes a Decision About Furious' Future Before Season 1 Finale</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;I think that as the creator of the show, all I can say is that I want our Jewish fans to know that I see you and I hear you and I understand how you feel. And the show has always been and always will be a love letter to Judaism,&rdquo; she explained. &ldquo;That is why I made this show. It&rsquo;s because of how beautiful of an experience I&rsquo;ve had becoming Jewish and being a Jewish person, and sitting here right now at this time in the world where there is almost zero positive representation of Jewish people, I think it&rsquo;s so important to have that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She concluded: &ldquo;That being said, everyone is entitled to a different opinion than me. I can just tell you what I created this show for, what the intention of the show is.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Brody&rsquo;s onscreen mother, <strong>Tovah Feldshuh</strong>, <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/nobody-wants-this-star-on-adam-brodys-palestine-support/">also shared her thoughts</a> following his comments made headlines.</p>
<p>&ldquo;To accuse the Jewish people of genocide is wild,&rdquo; the actress told The New York Post in October. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s right out of [Adolf] Hitler&rsquo;s playbook. You take the victim and you make the victim the perpetrator.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Feldshuh, 77, later clarified that there were no issues on set. &ldquo;Tensions are NOT RISING,&rdquo; she wrote via Threads. &ldquo;Profound differences of opinion are. Please do not conflate the two &mdash; And none of it &#65532;will be brought to the set. I deeply enjoy filming NWT and hope we are chosen to go on for a fourth season.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Nobody Wants This is streaming on Netflix.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/meri-brown/"><strong>Meri Brown</strong></a> opened the closet door to her past during the latest <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/sister-wives/"><em>Sister Wives</em></a> episode, revealing how <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/kody-brown/"><strong>Kody Brown</strong></a> influenced her style.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Kody tried to get me to buy overalls like in the &lsquo;90s when we first got married and I&rsquo;m like, &lsquo;No way,&rsquo;&rdquo; Meri, 55, told her best friend Jenn during a girls shopping trip on the Sunday, November 8, episode of <em>Sister Wives</em>.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

					</div>
<p>As Meri held up a pair of white and floral overalls, she admitted, &ldquo;These are kind of cute.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/rosie-odonnell-praises-sister-wives-after-kody-browns-exit/">TLC personality</a> proceeded to open up about how her ex-husband, 57, allegedly dictated her clothing choices during their <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/sister-wives-meri-reveals-ex-kody-bought-her-a-divorce-ring/">30-plus year marriage</a>.</p>

<p>&ldquo;He had a lot of suggestions of how I should dress,&rdquo; Meri revealed, claiming Kody &ldquo;didn&rsquo;t like what I wore on our first meet up. He liked to choose the clothes that I wore.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Meri confessed, &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t think it was weird at the time. When I think about it now, I think it&rsquo;s, like, really weird and very controlling.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Meri claimed that Kody&rsquo;s fashion choices <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/kody-browns-exes-compare-notes-on-his-ego-at-sister-wives-reunion/">weren&rsquo;t just for her</a>, she told the cameras that he oversaw all of his wives&rsquo; wardrobes in one way or another.</p>

<p>&ldquo;He had certain sweatshirts or hoodies or whatever that he liked to have all of this wear so we could all match,&rdquo; she recalled. &ldquo;Maybe it was fun, maybe it was weird. I&rsquo;m not sure.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Meri legally married Kody in 1990, becoming his first wife. The pair expanded their plural family in 1993 with the spiritual marriage between Kody and <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/janelle-brown/"><strong>Janelle Brown</strong></a>. <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/christine-brown/"><strong>Christine Brown</strong></a> became Kody&rsquo;s third wife the following year and fourth wife <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/robyn-brown/"><strong>Robyn Brown</strong></a> spiritually joined the brood in 2010.</p>

<p>In 2014, Meri agreed to divorce Kody so he could marry Robyn, 48, and legally adopt her three children from a prior marriage.</p>
<p>Meri claimed during the <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/sister-wives-christine-on-real-end-of-meri-kody-marriage/">November 1 episode</a> of <em>Sister Wives</em> that Kody was &ldquo;nice to me for, I don&rsquo;t know, maybe a month&rdquo; after that sacrifice.</p>

<p>Christine, 54, noted in the same episode that she saw their legal divorce as the breaking point for <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/sister-wives-meri-brown-says-she-gets-proposed-to-weekly/">Meri and Kody</a>.</p>
<p>&ldquo;They were struggling before that, for sure, but it was definitely the beginning of the real crumbling between the two of them,&rdquo; Christine recalled.</p>
<p>Still, Meri and Kody remained in a spiritual union for nearly a decade before she confirmed in January 2023 that they were no longer married. She was his third wife to leave their family in three years.</p>

<p>Christine, who shares six children with Kody, announced her split from the father of 18 in November 2021.</p>
<p>Janelle, who welcomed six kids with Kody during their marriage, followed suit in December 2022. (Janelle, 57, and Kody&rsquo;s son <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/sister-wives-star-janelle-browns-son-garrison-dead-at-25/"><strong>Garrison</strong></a> died in March 2024 at the age of 25.)</p>
<p>Kody and Robyn, who share two biological children, are now living a monogamous lifestyle. The couple <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/sister-wives-season-21-trailer-reveals-kody-and-robyns-exit/">exited the TLC series</a> ahead of season 21.</p>
<p><em>Sister Wives</em> airs on TLC Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.</p>

<p class="p1">The Netflix dating experiment kicked off in Boston in 2025 before premiering on Netflix one year later, where six couples found love sight unseen. However, <b>Sarah Williams </b>and <b>John Shannon </b>were <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/which-love-is-blind-season-11-pairs-got-married-who-split/"><span class="s1">the sole couple</span></a> to tie the knot by the finale. Their marriage barely lasted a year, with multiple outlets confirming days before the reunion that Sarah <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/nick-lachey-previews-love-is-blinds-john-and-sarahs-split/"><span class="s1">filed for divorce</span></a> in June.</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">When pressed by Nick </span>during the reunion <span class="s1">about </span>the reason behind the end of their short-lived nuptials, John admitted that the breakup was &ldquo;my fault.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">&ldquo;We had a wonderful year of marriage,&rdquo; John said succinctly, noting he made a &ldquo;mistake&rdquo; on a boy&rsquo;s trip while claiming nothing happened physically.</p>
<p class="p1">Sarah, for her part, also claimed they had a difficult &ldquo;cycle of communication&rdquo; that inevitably felt &ldquo;painful&rdquo; to her.</p>
<p class="p1">Costar <b>Michaella Giorgio</b> jumped in to defend her pal, claiming that Sarah &ldquo;felt very alone in their marriage,&rdquo; starting when John allegedly refused to help move their belongings into a shared house.</p>

<p class="p3">&ldquo;We are still very close,&rdquo; Stew said, adding that their &ldquo;future is unknown.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p3">When pressed if a romantic connection could potentially continue to develop, he coyly added, &ldquo;I think some moments are best kept off-camera.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p3">Jax has since kept her much-discussed engagement ring, having it reset into a pinky ring.</p>
<p class="p3">&ldquo;I wear it every day,&rdquo; she said, explaining the sparkler reminds her of a meaningful time.</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">During the special, </span>John acknowledged that their marriage broke down due to his emotional infidelity when pressed by the Lacheys.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I take full accountability,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It was 100 percent my fault. &hellip; I was just an idiot, and really, there&rsquo;s no other way to put it.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">While John stressed that &ldquo;nothing happened,&rdquo; he admitted that sending three texts to a &ldquo;stripper&rdquo; was inappropriate to Sarah&rsquo;s boundaries.</p>
<p class="p1"><b>Morrey Eglin</b>, who dated Sarah in the pods, jumped in to call John as a &ldquo;piece of s***.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">While Sarah even feared John&rsquo;s infidelity before their wedding, John ultimately confessed that he was unfaithful.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I guess so,&rdquo; he said, stressing that he never crossed a physical boundary with the unidentified adult entertainer. &ldquo;That was, like, the nail in the coffin. &hellip; I&rsquo;m devastated.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">For Sarah, reading the texts felt like &ldquo;confirmation&rdquo; that John didn&rsquo;t want to be married to her. She also said she &ldquo;lost [herself]&rdquo; in their relationship, where she allegedly heard John say &ldquo;negative&rdquo; remarks about her like she was &ldquo;dumb.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I have forgiven John,&rdquo; Sarah tearfully added. &ldquo;We can move on [from talking about it].&rdquo;</p>

Cam, however, noted during the finale that he needed &ldquo;time to process&rdquo; before making a decision about their future.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;We &hellip; took a little time and then we had some conversations,&rdquo; Cam said, noting their show relationship didn&rsquo;t work and thus didn&rsquo;t &ldquo;seem beneficial&rdquo; to continue in the real world.</p>
<p class="p1">Aneha, for her part, felt confused by his mindset. She further claimed that they planned a &ldquo;hotel retreat&rdquo; two days after their would-be wedding, where he admitted he was no longer in love.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I&rsquo;m still wearing my engagement ring,&rdquo; she alleged of the getaway, adding that Cam said he didn&rsquo;t want to &ldquo;put a label&rdquo; on their relationship status.</p>
<p class="p1">Instead, Aneha and Cam opted to call it quits.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I love you, Cam,&rdquo; she said, acknowledging their mutual communication issues.</p>
<p class="p1">Cam also revealed that he likely would have said &ldquo;no&rdquo; at the altar had cameras captured his decision first.</p>

<p class="p3">&ldquo;As soon as the show stopped I did 50 days [of not going out],&rdquo; he said, also revealing he started going to therapy. &rdquo;You didn&rsquo;t deserve [how I handled myself on the show].&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">Erika and Blake gave fans a glimpse of where they stand during the reunion, noting they hadn&rsquo;t seen each other in one year.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been tragic not seeing him,&rdquo; Erika said, &ldquo;I really wanted to spend a lifetime with Blake &hellip; like, we talked about the future.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">According to Erika, they briefly kept in contact while he took a boat charter overseas.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I was able to open my life to him,&rdquo; she said, claiming Blake was less forthcoming. &ldquo;We just could not get there.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">For Blake, he said their plans were thwarted because &ldquo;baddie&rdquo; Erika got an impressive job promotion. Even so, the yacht captain still holds Erika in high regard.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;If so, then I blew it,&rdquo; he said when asked if Erika is the love of his life. &ldquo;The logistics of all of it was &hellip; the issue of it.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">In the year since leaving <i>Love Is Blind</i>, Blake admitted that he had &ldquo;one serious relationship&rdquo; but they have since broken up. Erika had a &ldquo;few flings&rdquo; herself.</p>
<h2 class="p1"><b>Michaella Giorgio and Matt Waldrip Briefly Dated</b><span class="s1"><b> After Leaving the Pods</b></span></h2>
<p class="p1">During the reunion, Matt (a.k.a. the beekeeper) revealed that he had a &ldquo;meaningful&rdquo; relationship with Michaella after she ended her engagement to Rob and claimed that loved her. He noted that he, regrettably, &ldquo;was the one who ended it.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I need nothing,&rdquo; she clapped back after Matt said he felt bad for the way their romance ended. &ldquo;News flash: Nothing! &hellip; [We] had a great friendship that shouldn&rsquo;t have crossed over.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Michaella further claimed Matt&rsquo;s account was exaggerated and that she only said she loved him because she was &ldquo;on mushrooms.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1"><b>Maya Jama </b>has a text to share with <i><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/love-island/">Love Island UK</a> </i>viewers &mdash; her resignation letter.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;What an incredible era and what an unforgettable time I&rsquo;ve had, it&rsquo;s been far too much fun to put into words or a video &hellip; but as all good things must come to an end,&rdquo; Maya, 32, wrote via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DffeXLeRhO4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">Instagram</span></a> on Sunday, November 8, sharing highlights from her time in the villa. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s my time to step down as the host of my beloved <i>Love Island</i>.&rdquo;</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p class="p1">Maya hosted <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/love-island-u-k-couples-still-together-where-are-they-now/">nine seasons of the U.K. version</a> and the OG iteration of the <i>Love Island Games </i>spinoff.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;Firstly, I want to thank all of the people who rooted so hard for me to host the show in the first place. I wouldn&rsquo;t change a thing,&rdquo; Maya said. &ldquo;To the fans of the show, thank you for every supportive message and every single time you&rsquo;ve tuned in during my time as host, I&rsquo;m forever grateful to you all.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">She continued, &ldquo;The show really does belong to the people who watch it and embrace it year after year. Biggest thanks to the incredible production team, I&rsquo;ve seen firsthand how you work your asses off for months every year to bring this iconic show to life.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Maya further gushed that she &ldquo;met the most wonderful humans&rdquo; throughout her nine-season tenure hosting <i>Love Island UK.</i></p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve loved every slow-mo walk, fire pit and live show. I&rsquo;ll forever be grateful for the experience,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;But I&rsquo;ve always believed that to truly grow, you have to take a leap every now and then, and now is my time to throw myself into something new.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Maya concluded, &ldquo;While my own <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/love-island-u-k-all-stars-most-dramatic-moments-from-their-seasons/"><i>Love Island</i> journey</a> has come to an end, I wish the show and the team all the success in the world, I&rsquo;ll be cheering you lot on from the sidelines forever.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">Maya reposted her upload to her Instagram Stories as well, adding, &ldquo;I feel emotional. End of an era.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">The <i>Celebrity Traitors UK </i>star succeeded <b>Laura Whitmore </b>as the <i>Love Island </i>host in 2023. Laura, 41, previously took over emcee duties after the late <b>Caroline Flack </b>left the post.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;There are certain elements of the show I&rsquo;ve found very difficult that cannot be changed some due to the format, including the flying back and forth to South Africa along with my new conflicting projects,&rdquo; Laura <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-island-uks-laura-whitmore-announces-exit-after-3-seasons/"><span class="s1">said of her exit</span></a> in a 2022 Instagram post. &ldquo;I wish it was still possible but know you&rsquo;ll be in safe hands. I was only planning to fill in for Caroline for a series and it turned into three series.&rdquo;<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/love-is-blind/"><i>Love Is Blind </i></a>OG <b>Lauren Speed-Hamilton </b>quickly learned that not everything about reality TV is actually real.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;The show &hellip; [pays] for the weddings, they pay for the dresses, they pay for the rings,&rdquo; Lauren, 38, noted on the Friday, November 6, episode of <b>Cam Newton</b>&rsquo;s eponymous <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_5Yy880Ifs" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">YouTube show</span></a>. &rdquo;I think they got real rings now, but mine was not.&rdquo;</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p class="p1">Lauren <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/love-is-blinds-lauren-and-camerons-relationship-timeline-pics/">found love &mdash; sight unseen &mdash;</a> with now-husband <b>Cameron Hamilton </b>during the inaugural season of the now-hit Netflix dating experiment. After they got engaged in the pods, Cameron, now 36, presented the influencer with a sparkling ring to seal the deal.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;The diamond fell out, turned green when I got in the pool,&rdquo; she recalled of the bauble. &ldquo;I was heartbroken, but now I think they have a jewelry partner, so <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/where-do-love-is-blind-stars-get-their-engagement-rings-what-we-know/"><span class="s1">they get real rings</span></a> now.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">Ring drama aside, Lauren and Cameron went on to say &ldquo;I do&rdquo; in the finale. The couple-turned-reality TV success story later <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/pictures/love-is-blind-babies-meet-the-children-of-the-shows-couples/"><span class="s1">welcomed their first baby</span></a>, son Ezra, in October 2025.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;Back before we even had children, this is one of the first conversations that me and Cam had while we were on the show,&rdquo; Lauren said on Friday, discussing the then-possibility of raising a biracial child. &ldquo;It was like, &lsquo;What if we have kids one day?&rsquo; Cam and I, we were talking. I don&rsquo;t&nbsp; even think they showed this, but I had a moment where I actually broke down and cried.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">She continued, &ldquo;I was like, &lsquo;You know, I don&rsquo;t want him to go through feeling like he doesn&rsquo;t belong anywhere &lsquo;cause some people who are biracial, they say they don&rsquo;t feel fully accepted here, they say they don&rsquo;t feel fully accepted there.&rsquo; I just didn&rsquo;t want that for my son.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">Since giving birth to Ezra, Lauren has primarily been worried about &ldquo;his protection&rdquo; as a Black child.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;Just with him growing up being a Black boy, a biracial boy, there are some things that Cam won&rsquo;t be able to relate to because he&rsquo;s not black,&rdquo; Lauren acknowledged of her interracial marriage. &ldquo;He hasn&rsquo;t had a Black experience. He didn&rsquo;t grow up being afraid of the police pulling him over.</p>
<p class="p1">Lauren and Cameron have since had frank discussions about what it means to raise Ezra in 2026.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;[We are having] those types of conversations &hellip; now about that cultural difference of, you know, my son versus what [Cameron] experienced,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;Of course, I have my brother and my dad&rsquo;s brother who stepped in to be a granddad [after my father died]. We&rsquo;ve all sat down and been like, &lsquo;He needs to have these Black men leading him in areas that can teach him those things.&rsquo;&rdquo;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/why-does-tracker-watson-and-the-equalizer-never-start-on-time-on-cbs/">CBS Sundays is going to look a little different</a> soon with a new show replacing <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/yellowstone/"><em>Marshals</em></a> and <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/tracker/"><em>Tracker</em></a> for one weekend.</p>
<p>The network confirmed that CBS will present a special airing of <em>Cupertino</em> in a new time slot. Instead of its usual premieres on Thursday, Cupertino will air a new episode on Sunday, November 8, followed by two encore episodes.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>In advance of the special airing, a new episode will air on Thursday, November 5, followed by another new episode on Thursday, November 12. This will replace previously scheduled preemptions of <em>Marshals</em> and <em>Tracker</em>, which usually air on Sunday nights as <em>Cupertino</em> continues to find its own success at the network.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/see-cupertinos-busy-philipps-in-1st-role-after-brain-surgery/"><em>Cupertino</em>, which airs on Thursdays,</a> stars <strong>Mike Colter</strong> as a Silicon Valley attorney who, after being fired by his employer, forms a firm with another laid off lawyer (<strong>Rachel Keller</strong>) to represent people harmed by the technology industry.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/cbs-fall-2026-tv-premiere-dates-tracker-marshals-boston-blue/" target="_blank">CBS Fall Schedule for New, Returning Shows: 'Tracker' to 'Marshals' and More</a></p>
<p>The legal drama also stars <strong>Ren&eacute;e Elise Goldsberry, Ella Stiller </strong>and<strong> Nik Dodani</strong>. <strong>Busy Phillips</strong>, meanwhile plays a client who is described as &ldquo;the beautiful and delightfully blunt first wife of an AI Billionaire, who divorced her when she turned forty. Now Natalia wants revenge and agrees to finance Michael and Olivia&rsquo;s start-up law firm in order to go after his and other AI businesses.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Phillips, 47, previously spoke to <em>Us</em> about how the topic of AI <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/cupertinos-mike-colter-rachel-keller-tease-elsbeth-crossover-3/">hit close to home.</a></p>

<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not an AI user. We don&rsquo;t use that in my home. I actually am obsessed with my daughter&rsquo;s eighth grade &mdash; and with the entire school. They are hand writing all of their assignments this year,&rdquo; the actress, who shares two kids with estranged husband <strong>Marc Silverstein</strong>, told <em>Us</em>. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re not using computers at all in response to the proliferation of [AI] &mdash; and I&rsquo;m sure that kids will cheat but she&rsquo;s not.&rdquo;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/why-are-cbs-shows-facing-changes-fall-lineup-explained/" target="_blank">Why Are Many CBS Shows Facing Major Shakeups? Fall Lineup Changes Explained</a></p>
<p>Phillips continued: &ldquo;And this has really reconfirmed my belief that billionaires should not exist and that we need to have regulations in place. And also I just trust no one.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The actress credited the show for<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/a-guide-to-the-cast-of-cbs-cupertino-mike-colter-and-more/"> teaching her some important lessons.</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;My absolute favorite thing to watch &mdash; and now my favorite thing to play &mdash; is a woman who becomes empowered after the age of 40 and finds her own voice,&rdquo; Phillips exclusively told Us earlier this month. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;m getting to do on this show. It shows that you can have a second act as a woman. Life doesn&rsquo;t end just because your marriage does.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>Cupertino</em> airs on CBS Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Paramount+.</p>

<p class="p1"><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/ed-sheeran/"><b>Ed Sheeran </b></a>is marking the conclusion of the United States leg of his <i>Loop Tour </i>following controversy with his support acts.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;Thank you Tampa, that&rsquo;s the end of the North American stadium tour,&rdquo; Sheeran, 35, wrote via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DfedXWDiJfU/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">Instagram</span></a> on Sunday, November 8, sharing footage from his Florida concert the night before. &ldquo;See you soon Chile, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.&rdquo;</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

					</div>
<p class="p1">In the footage, the Grammy winner took a bow in front of thousands of cheering fans.</p>
<p class="p1">Sheeran&rsquo;s <i>Loop Tour </i>has been embroiled in scandal after opening act <b>Macklemore </b>was <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/ed-sheeran-and-macklemores-tour-controversy-explained/"><span class="s1">dismissed by the touring company </span></a>for chanting &ldquo;Free Palestine&rdquo; at two September concerts in New Jersey. Several of Sheeran&rsquo;s opening acts, including <b>Finneas </b>and <b>Lukas Graham</b>, left the tour in solidarity with Macklemore, as did the &ldquo;Thinking Out Loud&rdquo; crooner&rsquo;s backing band.</p>

<p class="p1">Sheeran denied personally firing Macklemore, 43, from the roster as he tried to distance himself from the political commentary surrounding the scandal.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I&rsquo;m used to my music being criticized, and I&rsquo;m always happy to take that because I&rsquo;m lucky. A lot of you like my stuff, and to be honest, I&rsquo;m surprised. I&rsquo;m not surprised that I&rsquo;ve even done it. You know, it&rsquo;s normal,&rdquo; Sheeran said <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/ed-sheeran-speaks-out-at-concert-after-macklemore-drama/"><span class="s1">during his September 19 show</span></a>, addressing the backlash. &ldquo;This week, the criticism was about something much more important, and I&rsquo;ve had to take [it in] and make difficult decisions, and I am making mistakes, and I&rsquo;m so so sorry.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">The British performance further stressed that he never wants to &ldquo;disappoint fans&rdquo; but hasn&rsquo;t thought of himself as an activist.</p>

<p class="p1">&ldquo;This has put me in the middle of an important, passionate argument about freedom of speech on the most complex issue on the planet,&rdquo; Sheeran continued. &ldquo;[My music] has always been a safe space for everyone. That matters hugely to me. Honoring my commitment to my fans is also completely essential to who I am. That is why I&rsquo;m here tonight &mdash; on my own &mdash; continuing my own tour.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Sheeran continued his <i>Loop Tour </i>as scheduled, enlisting <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/ed-sheeran-praises-new-band-standing-with-me-amid-controversy/"><span class="s1">a new backing band</span></a> and support acts.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I just want to say before they come onstage, they said yes to being onstage with the knowledge that the world thought I was a certain type of person,&rdquo; he said in September of his new band. &ldquo;They said yes with the knowledge that the world may hate them too for standing on stage with me, and I am so grateful for them being here tonight and standing on stage with me in front of you guys.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Macklemore, for his part, has pledged to keep advocating for the Palestinian cause and performed three European benefit concerts last month. He is hoping to bring the shows across the pond but has <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/macklemore-says-u-s-arenas-are-blocking-free-palestine-tour/"><span class="s1">yet to find venues</span></a> to host the shows.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>WNBA star <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/sports/news/cameron-brink-rips-enes-kanter-freedom-after-wnba-stunt/"><strong>Cameron Brink</strong></a> is no stranger to navigating <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/stylish-2-2/">the fashion world</a> as a tall woman &mdash; and is excited to showcase her off-the-court skills when she walks down the aisle on her wedding day.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I literally have been sworn to secrecy, but I will say it has been a dream process and I think sharing the moment with my mom has just been so special,&rdquo; Brink, 24, exclusively told <em>Us</em> on Thursday, November 5, of the moment she found the perfect dress to wear when she says &ldquo;I do&rdquo; to her fianc&eacute;, <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/wnba-star-cameron-brink-engaged-to-boyfriend-ben-felter/"><strong>Ben Felter</strong></a>.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

<p>&ldquo;We both get emotional every time I try it on,&rdquo; she continued of her and her mother&rsquo;s reaction to her wedding dress. &ldquo;It is kind of hard navigating this world as a <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shopping/news/tall-women-jumpsuit-bestseller/">tall woman in fashion</a>, but I think I&rsquo;m just surrounded by some really amazing people [who] take that into account and make me feel really beautiful and seen that way.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She added, &ldquo;I truly can&rsquo;t wait for all of the details to be shared. I&rsquo;m truly ecstatic.&rdquo;</p>

Felter proposed in September 2024 at the Shangri-La Paris Hotel in France after the athlete walked in Balenciaga&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/tag/paris-fashion-week/">Paris Fashion Week</a> show. The two are reportedly preparing to say &ldquo;I do&rdquo; at the <a href="https://stanfordmag.org/contents/at-memorial-church-weddings-are-down-but-diversity-is-up">Memorial Church</a> on their alma mater&rsquo;s campus, according to <em>People</em>.</p>

<p>The couple have been dating since March 2021, after Felter &mdash; a former member of Stanford&rsquo;s rowing team while Brink secured two national women&rsquo;s basketball title games for the institution &mdash; decided to send Brink an email instead of sliding into her DMs.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Hey Cameron, Wanted to chat you up but I think dms are a bit creepy,&rdquo; Felter wrote his future fianc&eacute;e, per ESPN. &ldquo;Not that an email is much better so here&rsquo;s my number.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Safe to say, Felter&rsquo;s out-of-the-box tactic worked.</p>
<p>Now, as the forward prepares to walk down the wedding aisle in her dream dress, she is focused on what she hopes her family, friends and loved ones experience while attending her and her fianc&eacute;&rsquo;s special day.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I think Ben and I were really just two big goofballs,&rdquo; Brink, who is partnering with <a href="https://www.optimumnutrition.com/en-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Optimum Nutrition</a> on their new 30G Ultra-Filtered Milk Protein Shake + Fiber, told <em>Us</em>. &ldquo;It sounds so cheesy, but we&rsquo;re just silly and we are getting married young &hellip; I&rsquo;m six days older than him. We&rsquo;re both Capricorns &hellip; I just think we&rsquo;re both similar yet so different at the same time.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She continued, &ldquo;I just kind of hope that our families and our friends come around us &mdash; and we&rsquo;ve invited people [who] have been a part of our journey. I really just want it to be one big love fest, and I&rsquo;m such a crier. For example, <a href="https://sparks.wnba.com/nneka-ogwumike-retirement-celebration" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Nneka Ogwumike</strong> just recently retired</a> and that was a precursor for how much I&rsquo;m gonna cry &mdash; emotional things just get me. So I&rsquo;m just gonna be sobbing the whole time. I hope there&rsquo;s tissues nearby. But yeah, I&rsquo;m just super excited.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1"><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/amy-schumer/"><b>Amy Schumer </b></a>doesn&rsquo;t understand the hypersexualization of maternal characters in animated movies.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;Why do moms in animations have to look like porn stars and the same age as their kids?&rdquo; Schumer, 45, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, November 6, alongside footage of the mother character&rsquo;s backside and curves from 2017&rsquo;s <i>The Son of Bigfoot</i>. &ldquo;Slightly short haircut = mom?&rdquo;</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

					</div>
<p class="p1">Directing duo Karni &amp; Saul felt the same as the comedian, reposting her conundrum to their joint Instagram page.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;Couldn&rsquo;t agree more,&rdquo; a Saturday, November 7, Instagram Story caption read. &ldquo;Because men design and direct them. The short answer. Get women in here, and it all changes.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">Schumer, who reposted Karni &amp; Saul&rsquo;s message via her Stories, became a mother in 2019 when she welcomed son Gene with ex-husband <b>Chris Fischer.</b></p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I was throwing up through the first hour of my C-section,&rdquo; Schumer recalled of childbirth<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/amy-schumers-describes-scary-3-hour-c-section-delivering-son/"><span class="s1"> on a December 2019 episode</span></a> of the &ldquo;Informed Pregnancy and Parenting&rdquo; podcast. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s supposed to take about an hour and a half. Mine took over three hours because of my endometriosis.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Schumer, who had surgery to remove endometriosis spots in 2021, further noted that labor was &ldquo;brutal&rdquo; and she was grateful to have Fisher&rsquo;s support.</p>

<p class="p1">&ldquo;Chris was so great. We just stared [into] each other&rsquo;s eyes and he just held me there,&rdquo; Schumer added at the time. &ldquo;Then they let me hold Gene for a good amount of time. I got to see him and hold him.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Schumer and Fischer, 46, ultimately <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/amy-schumer-and-chris-fischers-relationship-timeline/"><span class="s1">went their separate ways</span></a> six years later.</p>

<p class="p1">&ldquo;Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years,&rdquo; the <i>Trainwreck </i>actress wrote in a December 2025 social media statement. &ldquo;We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son. We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time. Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Schumer filed for divorce in January <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/amy-schumer-and-ex-chris-fischer-reach-divorce-agreement/"><span class="s1">and the proceedings were finalized</span></a> last month.</p>
<p class="p1">While Schumer has not publicly addressed her new chapter, she previously has been candid about moving through difficult times.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;When things are the absolute worst is when my family is the funniest,&rdquo; she acknowledged in a December 2025 <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/amy-schumer-reveals-how-her-family-moves-forward-from-rock-bottom-2/"><span class="s1">social media video</span></a> with <b>Noa Tishby</b>, while lighting the menorah to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. &ldquo;Just when we hit rock bottom is when we can laugh the hardest. And I think that that&rsquo;s not unique to me.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1"><b><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/adam-driver/">Adam Driver</a> </b>is breaking his silence on the forthcoming <i>Girls </i>reboot &mdash; and amid swirling speculation the <i>Star Wars</i> star will make a juicy cameo.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I wish them the best of luck,&rdquo; Driver, 42, told <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@cinemablend/video/7705166520925555982" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">CinemaBlend</span></a> in a Friday, November 6, interview, adding that &ldquo;nope&rdquo; there was no chance he would reprise his role of Adam Sackler.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p class="p1">Driver portrayed the on-again, off-again love interest of <b>Lena Dunham</b>&rsquo;s Hannah Horvath on HBO&rsquo;s hit series for the duration of its 2012 to 2017 run. HBO announced in October that Dunham, 40, was writing a <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/girls-revival-set-at-hbo-with-returning-cast-members"><span class="s1">batch of new episodes</span></a> to star opposite her OG costars <b>Alison Williams</b>, <b>Zosia Mamet </b>and <b>Jemima Kirke</b>.</p>
<p class="p3">&ldquo;We always said we would only return to <i>Girls</i> if there was a specific story we were burning to tell,&rdquo; Dunham said in a statement, announcing the series&rsquo; return. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/which-girls-cast-members-are-returning-for-hbo-revival/"><span class="s1"> missed these characters</span></a>, but for a long time I couldn&rsquo;t quite picture them in the present day. Then, right around my 40th birthday, they started talking to me in the shower. And, as you may remember, once this fivesome starts talking, it&rsquo;s pretty hard to get them to stop &hellip;&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p3">She added at the time, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s rare that you get the chance to return to something that changed your life with the gift of hindsight and a whole new level of gratitude and understanding. I love these girls (and boy), our friends at HBO and all the people who have continued to discover the show and remind us afresh why we do this, which is the joy of being together&hellip; and the chance to wear yellow mesh&hellip;&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p3">HBO did not immediately reveal whether Driver would appear in the new episodes, especially after Dunham<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/what-happened-between-lena-dunham-and-adam-driver-breaking-down-the-girls-drama/"><span class="s1"> claimed in her April memoir</span></a>, <i>Famesick</i>, that the <i>Marriage Story </i>star was &ldquo;verbally aggressive.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p3">&ldquo;One Saturday afternoon, as I reached for a glass of water in his galley kitchen and chatted offhandedly about something meaningless, I looked up to see him smiling at me with something so tender, it felt like it could only have been love,&rdquo; Dunham wrote of her early dynamic with Driver. &ldquo;It disarmed me so totally that I dropped my glass.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p3">She added, &ldquo;Sometimes I&rsquo;d tell him he made me feel safe. I didn&rsquo;t yet understand that sometimes you say what you wish were true, instead of just saying what is.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p3">While Dunham felt like she and Driver initially felt &ldquo;like partners,&rdquo; their behind-the-scenes relationship was full of contradictions. She alleged that the <i>Star Wars </i>actor could be &ldquo;short-tempered and verbally aggressive, condescending and physically imposing,&rdquo; yet also &ldquo;protective&rdquo; and &ldquo;loving.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Driver <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/adam-driver-breaks-silence-on-lena-dunhams-famesick-memoir/"><span class="s1">publicly addressed Dunham&rsquo;s book claims</span></a> the next month, telling reporters at Cannes Film Festival that he had &ldquo;no comment.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I&rsquo;m saving it all for my book,&rdquo; he quipped in May.</p>

<p class="p1">Here&rsquo;s a look at who is &mdash; and isn&rsquo;t &mdash; returning for the revival:</p>
<h2 class="p2"><b>Lena Dunham</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Dunham will return as Hannah Horvath, the role that launched her career as a creator, writer and star. She remains the driving creative force behind the revival and is reprising her duties as creator alongside executive producer <b>Judd Apatow</b>.</p>
<h2 class="p2"><b>Allison Williams</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Williams is coming back as Marnie Michaels. <i>Variety </i>also reported in October 2026 that she&rsquo;s attached as a co-executive producer.</p>
<h2 class="p2"><b>Zosia Mamet</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Mamet is set to reprise her role as Shoshanna Shapiro and is also on board as a co-executive producer.</p>
<h2 class="p2"><b>Jemima Kirke</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Kirke will be back as Jessa Johansson, rounding out the central foursome. Like her costars, she will also executive produce the new series.</p>
<h2 class="p2"><b>Andrew Rannells</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Rannells, who played Elijah Krantz, was announced as part of the revival&rsquo;s cast.</p>
<h2 class="p2"><b>Rita Wilson</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Wilson, who played Williams&rsquo; character&rsquo;s mother Evie, is open to reprising her role in the new series.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;That is what I&rsquo;m hearing, so I don&rsquo;t think Lena would be lying about that,&rdquo; she told <a href="https://people.com/rita-wilson-teases-return-girls-revival-exclusive-12182441" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s2"><i>People</i></span></a><i> </i>in October 2026 when asked about her involvement. &ldquo;Lena is one of the most talented people I&rsquo;ve ever worked with. I would do anything for her. I would bend over backwards. Then, I love Allison Williams who, you know, I was lucky enough to play her mom. I know Lena&rsquo;s gotta be cooking up something very good.&rdquo;</p>
<h2 class="p2"><b>Adam Driver</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Driver, who played Hannah&rsquo;s volatile love interest Adam Sackler across the original run, <span class="s1">confirmed in November 2026 that he</span><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/adam-driver-addresses-girls-revival-if-hell-reprise-role/"> will not return</a>, <span class="s1">noting to CinemaBlend that he wishes the cast &ldquo;the best of luck.&rdquo;</span><span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>His absence follows allegations Dunham <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/what-happened-between-lena-dunham-and-adam-driver-breaking-down-the-girls-drama/">made in her April 2026 memoir</a>, <i>Famesick</i>, in which she alleged Driver was &ldquo;verbally aggressive, condescending and physically imposing.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Driver addressed the accusations at the Cannes Film Festival in May, <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/adam-driver-breaks-silence-on-lena-dunhams-famesick-memoir/">telling reporters</a>, &ldquo;I have no comment on any of that. I&rsquo;m saving it all for my book.&rdquo;</p>
<h2 class="p2"><b>Christopher Abbott, Alex Karpovsky, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jake Lacy</b></h2>
<p class="p3">There&rsquo;s no word yet on whether Abbott, Karpovsky, Moss-Bachrach or Lacy will return in the new series.</p>

<p><em>12 Dates of Christmas</em> allowed <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/lucy-hale/"><strong>Lucy Hale</strong> </a>and <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/ian-harding/"><strong>Ian Harding</strong></a> to play love interests again after <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/pretty-little-liars/"><em>Pretty Little Liars</em></a> &mdash; but do they have plans to reunite again in the future?</p>
<p>&ldquo;From your lips to God&rsquo;s ears. How fun would that be?&rdquo; Hale, 37, said during an exclusive interview with <em>Us</em>, to which Harding, 40, replied, &ldquo;What if we just went through every genre?&rdquo;</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>The pair suggested a horror movie next where they are a &ldquo;newly married couple&rdquo; but one of them &ldquo;is a ghost.&rdquo; For Hale, the project didn&rsquo;t matter as long as she got to <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/hallmark-2026-movie-and-tv-lineup-every-project-revealed/">share the screen again with Harding.</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;Ian actually is the best. I love working with you. I love you as a person,&rdquo; she told him. &ldquo;And it was just nice to have all that built in history and something new to do.&rdquo;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/pretty-little-liars-love-interests-where-are-they-now/" target="_blank">'Pretty Little Liars' Love Interests Through the Seasons: Where Are They Now?</a></p>
<p>Harding felt the same way, adding, &ldquo;It was so fantastic. We were kind of remarking on this earlier about how we just stepped back into it. There&rsquo;s the novelty of a new movie, a new set that you&rsquo;re on and your very first day. Maybe there&rsquo;s a little bit of jitters but I felt that way for about seven seconds and then it just was good to be back and getting to play with a dear friend.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Hale and Harding <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/controversial-couples-with-age-gaps-on-tv-friends-gilmore-girls-and-more/">captured our hearts when they played</a> Aria and Ezra, respectively, in <em>Pretty Little Liars</em>. After the show came to an end in 2017, Hale and Harding weren&rsquo;t in a rush to find their next collaboration.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This was our first attempt and our last. No, I&rsquo;m kidding,&rdquo; she quipped. &ldquo;This was our first attempt. Of course we&rsquo;ve kept in touch here and there. But we live across the country from each other.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Hale continued: &ldquo;I just thought he was perfect for this and I was hopeful that he would say yes.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Harding was thrilled at the prospect of sharing the screen with Hale again, telling <em>Us</em>, &ldquo;I obviously enjoyed working with Lucy many years ago and I also know the love that people have for that show and perhaps even our dynamic. So I didn&rsquo;t want to waste it on something ridiculous and so I loved this idea because it kind of plays on certain tropes. I just wanted to really play with her so this gave us the vehicle to do it.&rdquo;</p>

<p><em>12 Dates of Christmas</em> follows a woman who has prioritized her work life over her personal life and is persuaded to go on 12 dates in 12 weeks just in time for Christmas. One of the disastrous dates was played by<strong> Carter Jenkins</strong>, which served as a throwback for Hale after she went out with the actor in real life.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve known since I was 15. He was actually my first boyfriend. That was my first boyfriend and we&rsquo;ve been friends ever since,&rdquo; Hale told <em>Us</em>. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s the best. I can&rsquo;t remember where he took me on a date. I think the date was a movie he was in. And I think we got sushi with his mom after.&rdquo;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/lucy-hale-defends-pll-video-with-ian-harding-after-backlash/">While Hale&rsquo;s character</a> went on 12 disastrous dates, the actress didn&rsquo;t pull much inspiration from her life, telling Us, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been fairly lucky. I never did the dating thing in my 20s. I was always in monogamous relationships. But I did do a fair share of dating a couple of years ago. But I must be very lucky because I don&rsquo;t have any disastrous dates. Compared to [my character] Christina in [the] movie, nothing too crazy.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>12 Dates of Christmas</em> is streaming now on Hulu.</p>

<p><strong>Will Estes</strong> has officially revived his <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/blue-bloods/"><em>Blue Bloods</em></a> character, Jamie Reagan, on <em>Boston Blue</em> &mdash; but was it a one-off?</p>
<p><em><strong>Warning: Spoilers below from season 2, episode 5, of Boston Blue.</strong></em></p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m game. I would love it. It was a great experience,&rdquo; Estes, 48, <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/will-estes-on-blue-bloods-group-chat-boston-blue-cameo/">exclusively tells <em>Us</em></a> about whether he&rsquo;d return to the <em>Blue Bloods</em> spinoff after his Friday, November 6, cameo. &ldquo;It was so fun. If they want to write for me, I&rsquo;ll be there.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The actor says that it&rsquo;s all up to <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/blue-bloods-will-estes-to-make-boston-blue-season-2-cameo/"><em>Boston Blue</em></a> creators <strong>Brandon Margolis</strong> and <strong>Brandon Sonnier</strong>, joking to <em>Us</em>, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to give you the phone number of both the Brandons when we get off, and you can call them six times a day.&rdquo;</p>

<p>During Estes&rsquo; appearance on the CBS series, his character, Jamie, reunited with his brother, Danny Reagan (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/donnie-wahlberg/"><strong>Donnie Wahlberg</strong></a>), while in Boston for a conference. (Estes starred alongside Wahlberg, 57, on <em>Blue Bloods</em> for 14 seasons before the <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/blue-bloods-series-finale-who-died-whos-married-who-is-pregnant/">series ended in 2024</a>. Wahlberg has helmed <em>Boston Blue</em> since 2025.)</p>
<p>Jamie had been recently promoted to lieutenant, while Danny made sergeant after leaving New York City and going to work for the Boston Police Department alongside his son Sean (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/donnie-wahlberg-breaks-silence-on-boston-blue-recasting-blue-bloods-son/"><strong>Mika Amonsen</strong></a>).</p>
<p>Tensions were high when the Reagan siblings got back together, with Jamie eventually telling his big brother that he felt abandoned when Danny left New York at the same time he and wife Eddie Janko (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/blue-bloods-cast-marks-1-year-since-filming-emotional-series-finale/"><strong>Vanessa Ray</strong></a>) welcomed their first baby.</p>

<p>&ldquo;You were always there whether I wanted you to be or not and then the second I wanted to ask you how to be a dad. What to do when Joey wouldn&rsquo;t sleep or when Eddie didn&rsquo;t want me to go back on the street. You weren&rsquo;t there,&rdquo; Jamie confessed.</p>
<p>Danny admitted, &ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t. I had to be here. Sean needed me,&rdquo; which Jamie said he understood, bringing them both closure for the first time in the relationship.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m always here for you, even from Boston,&rdquo; Danny told his <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/blue-bloods-cast-from-season-1-to-now-photos/">baby brother</a>, joking he can always call him.</p>

<p>While Jamie and Danny ended the episode on good terms, Estes doesn&rsquo;t have another cameo lined up just yet &mdash; but he is open to one, especially if it&rsquo;s alongside his TV wife.</p>
<p>&ldquo;They don&rsquo;t let me in the writers&rsquo; rooms, so I don&rsquo;t &mdash; I&rsquo;m never a part of those conversations,&rdquo; Estes tells <em>Us</em>, adding that he thinks a joint appearance with Ray, 45, could &ldquo;100 percent&rdquo; happen down the line.</p>
<p>Estes also hinted that Jamie and Eddie&rsquo;s story might not be done for good. In fact, he teased that their <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/blue-bloods-vanessa-ray-teases-more-spinoffs-hints-at-boston-blue-cameo/">rumored spinoff</a> might still be in the works.</p>
<p>&ldquo;What do I say that promotes the idea?&rdquo; Estes says with a smirk. &ldquo;We have talked about it, but not in a capacity that I can give you an air date on. So, no at this time.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The actor tells <em>Us</em> that fans will have to wait to see what transpires regarding a potential Jamie and Eddie TV series, revealing that the <em>Blue Bloods</em> cast might also be <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/everything-the-blue-bloods-cast-has-said-about-possible-spinoff/">open to a movie reunion</a>.</p>
<p>&ldquo;<em>Blue Bloods</em> the movie! Yeah, we&rsquo;ve been talking about <em>Blue Bloods</em> the movie for a while,&rdquo; Estes reveals. &ldquo;So listen, I&rsquo;m ready. I&rsquo;m here. I can throw ideas at the wall and see what sticks too.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He adds, &ldquo;That was, I think, Donnie said that first. He was like, &lsquo;Blue Bloods the movie.&rsquo; So listen, I&rsquo;m game.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>Boston Blue</em> airs on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m. ET.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/fire-country/"><em>Fire Country</em></a> has gone through some changes and onscreen shakeups &mdash; but what does that mean for a certain character&rsquo;s potential return?</p>
<p>During an exclusive interview with <em>Us</em>, <strong>Michael Trucco</strong>, who has played Luke since season 1, confirmed that his character would be returning, saying, &ldquo;He has in some capacity has been &mdash; for better and for worse &mdash; a bit of a s*** disturber at times. But I think by and large he&rsquo;s always been a rock in the family and we see him come back in season 5.&rdquo;</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>Trucco, 56, promised that Luke &ldquo;definitely comes back and makes an impact on the family dynamic of the show.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s the beauty of a show like Fire Country is that the action is at the forefront and there&rsquo;s always this great crisis of the week. But there&rsquo;s this B-plot, this elemental story about the family,&rdquo; he noted. &ldquo;I think a lot of people tune in for that and there&rsquo;s real heart in there. I&rsquo;m really lucky to be a part of that Leone family and to be able to come in and make an impact is really exciting.&rdquo;</p>

<p>He continued: &ldquo;Stay tuned. Luke&rsquo;s return is not trivial.&rdquo;</p>
<p>In past seasons, Luke has found ways to stir up some drama when he made a move on his brother Vince&rsquo;s (<strong>Billy Burke</strong>) wife, Sharon (<strong>Diane Farr</strong>). Vince has since died on the show but Trucco <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/fire-countrys-max-thieriot-on-season-5-showrunner-exit-time-jump/">isn&rsquo;t sure what that means</a> for Luke and Sharon.</p>
<figure class="wp-caption "><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large credit-added wp-image-4498288" src="https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/3049309_0783b.jpg?w=900" alt="Fire Country " width="900" height="599" srcset="https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/3049309_0783b.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all 3000w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/3049309_0783b.jpg?w=900&amp;h=599&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 900w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/3049309_0783b.jpg?w=1800&amp;h=1198&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1800w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/3049309_0783b.jpg?w=150&amp;h=100&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 150w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/3049309_0783b.jpg?w=300&amp;h=200&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 300w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/3049309_0783b.jpg?w=768&amp;h=511&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 768w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/3049309_0783b.jpg?w=1024&amp;h=681&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 680px) calc(100vw - 60px), 660px"><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span class="credit">CBS</span></figcaption></figure>
<p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s really tricky water to tread. It&rsquo;s not without the realm of possibility. It&rsquo;s not within improbability that this could happen,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;From my perspective, I can say that Luke has always held a torch for Sharon for pretty much his entire adult life. In the story of Edgewater and Fire Country, Sharon and Vince got together very young and I was always kind of pining for my older brother&rsquo;s girlfriend, whom he eventually married. But that&rsquo;s really dangerous waters to tread because what are the optics of that? So I can&rsquo;t say never say never.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Trucco agreed with <em>Us</em> that there was plenty of material for a potential prequel. There is also the possibility that Luke could cross paths with Sharon&rsquo;s sister, Mickey (<strong>Morena Baccarin</strong>).</p>
<p>&ldquo;Since the first crossover, I was like, &lsquo;Hey, hold on a second. Sharon was with my brother and then what if Luke ended up with Sharon&rsquo;s sister?&rsquo; Edgewater is not a big,&rdquo; he noted. &ldquo;This is a small little one-horse town. It&rsquo;s conceivable that they would cross paths. I think that&rsquo;d be a really super fun story line.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Looking ahead, Trucco is<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/which-sheriff-country-stars-are-arent-returning-for-season-2/"> booked and busy with other projects</a> such as <em>Carrie</em>, season 2 of <em>Stick</em> and an upcoming series <em>Posers</em> on Netflix. He still has a lot that he would like to explore on <em>Fire Country</em> though &mdash; especially after the show evolved behind the scenes.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Anytime you have a regime change like that, there&rsquo;s a new energy and I think that was part of it. There was an assignment to figure out and define what the show is and at first maybe Luke didn&rsquo;t really factor into it,&rdquo; the actor recalled. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll be honest, at one point I wasn&rsquo;t sure if that was the end. Have we seen the end of Luke?&rdquo;</p>
<p>He continued: &ldquo;So when they had this change, I think they had to focus on their central core cast and figure out how to define what the show is moving forward. There is a palpable change in the energy but my experience has been a good one. There&rsquo;s positivity on the set and I think that it&rsquo;s going in the right direction.&rdquo;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/law-and-order-svus-juliana-aiden-martinez-breaks-silence-on-exit-return/"><strong>Juliana Aid&eacute;n Martinez</strong></a> is weighing in on Special Agent Stuart Scola&rsquo;s possible <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/fbi-tv-show-cbs/"><em>FBI</em></a> exit, revealing how it could affect Eva&rsquo;s job.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s such a nuanced thing, right? Because it&rsquo;s like one, I don&rsquo;t want to lose the person that has been my partner, and I thought could be the person that I lean on [as] the stable force in my life,&rdquo; Martinez, who plays Eva Ramos on the hit CBS series, exclusively told <em>Us</em> on Friday, November 6.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

<p>The 34-year-old actress addressed the possibility of Scola (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/fbis-john-boyd-and-shantel-vansanten-tease-season-8-scolina-wedding/"><strong>John Boyd</strong></a>) leaving the New York City FBI branch to support his wife, Nina Chase (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/shantel-vansanten/"><strong>Shantel Van Santen</strong></a>) following her job offer to lead a team in San Diego.</p>

<p>She noted that Eva also doesn&rsquo;t want to &ldquo;stop someone from losing their family or stopping this other woman from pursuing her dreams.&rdquo;</p>
<p>During the Monday, November 2, episode of <em>FBI</em>, Scola admitted that he <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/shantel-vansantens-fbi-return-hints-at-potential-cast-exit/">told Nina not to take the job</a> before Eva advised him to trust her decision and make it work no matter the cost.</p>
<p>If Nina does take the gig, it could mean a shift at 26 Fed and Scola&rsquo;s departure, which <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/fbi-season-8-has-unexpected-romance-onscreen-surprises/">Martinez told <em>Us</em></a> is the worst case scenario.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Eva finally opens her mouth and gives personal advice to her partner and is [tells him], &lsquo;You can&rsquo;t stop this woman from pursuing her dreams,&rsquo;&rdquo; she recalled. &ldquo;And I think Eva&rsquo;s like someone who&rsquo;s very much a champion for women because of her mom because of her experiences that she could never put herself in a position to put another woman back.&rdquo; (During the upcoming Monday, November 9, episode, fans will get to see why Eva has a complicated relationship with her mother amid a case involving a woman who has been brainwashed by the man she loves.)</p>
<p>Martinez confessed that Eva &ldquo;also she doesn&rsquo;t want to lose her partner,&rdquo; teasing, &ldquo;She&rsquo;s in a tough spot of, like, she&rsquo;s happy for them, and then she&rsquo;d also be crushed if she lost Scola.&rdquo;</p>

<p>While Martinez played coy about what will happen for <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/fbis-john-boyd-and-shantel-vansanten-pitch-cia-crossover-as-couple/">Scola and Nina</a> &mdash; and his partnership with Eva &mdash; she confirmed, &ldquo;The answer will come this season.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Looking forward, Martinez said that her character &ldquo;doesn&rsquo;t want to lose her Boy Scout,&rdquo; telling <em>Us</em> that her ability to trust men again is heavily impacted by her friendship with Scola.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Eva has such resiliency. She is a believer in love, but I don&rsquo;t just mean romantic love,&rdquo; the star explained, hinting that Eva will bounce back if she has to get a new partner. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s just like a believer in, like, if I keep trying, there&rsquo;ll be someone there for me. There&rsquo;ll be a partner for me. There&rsquo;ll be someone romantically in my life one day that will be there for me.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Martinez said Eva has not &ldquo;given up that fight&rdquo; for her own happiness, but when it comes to her dynamic with Scola, &ldquo;She definitely <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/every-fbi-star-who-left-the-cbs-after-playing-special-agents/">doesn&rsquo;t want to lose [him]</a>.&rdquo;</p>

<p>While Scola&rsquo;s future is very much up in the air, Martinez assured <em>Us</em> that fans will see &ldquo;some more partnership episodes&rdquo; between him and Eva this season.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This is a season of digging deeper, you know, and really kind of creating a stronger and stronger foundation,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;Or a stronger soil because we are digging deeper into her past, digging deeper into our partnerships, with [coworkers] Maggie and OA, and then with Eva and Scola.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>FBI</em> airs on CBS Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/the-amazing-race/"><em>The Amazing Race</em></a> season 39&rsquo;s grandfather-grandson duo, <strong>Doug</strong> and <strong>Dylan Matter</strong>, knew other teams wouldn&rsquo;t see them as much of a threat &mdash; but that&rsquo;s exactly what they wanted.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We were hoping they would,&rdquo; Doug, 73, exclusively told <em>Us</em> on Friday, November 6, when asked if other racers &ldquo;underestimated&rdquo; him and Dylan, 19, before their elimination in the Wednesday, November 4, episode.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>&ldquo;I think people kind of imagined we&rsquo;d be at the bottom a lot, and we were, [but] probably longer than people thought we&rsquo;d be,&rdquo; Dylan added. &ldquo;But you know, we were really proud of what we were able to do. We knew in ourselves that we could shock some teams, and I think we did just by staying in [the race] time and time again.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Doug and Dylan have a 54-year age gap between them &mdash; the largest gap between team members in <em>Amazing Race</em> history. Though Doug, a retired fire chief, was in great physical shape for the race, he knew going into it that people would look at him and think, &ldquo;My God, how old is that guy?&rdquo; (He also made history as the oldest person to compete on the U.S. version of the show.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/the-amazing-race-season-39-cast-includes-ali-krieger-and-more/" target="_blank">'The Amazing Race' Season 39 Cast Revealed: Pro Athlete Ali Krieger and More</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;re not going to want to use us as allies,&rdquo; he added of the other teams. &ldquo;Everyone was super kind, loved them all, but there wasn&rsquo;t anyone that was really looking to us to be an ally, and I understand that. If I was in their shoes, 20, 30, 40, I wouldn&rsquo;t look for a guy my age either, and so that&rsquo;s what happened. There weren&rsquo;t people that were really looking to ally with us, and so as a consequence, we kind of ran our race pretty much on our own, with some help here and there.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Their age gap also had its advantages, Doug pointed out.</p>
<p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s a lot better with technology than I am, so he was going to handle all of that,&rdquo; he quipped of Dylan. &ldquo;I bring &hellip; a little life experience. I have a calm manner anyway, from my life experiences and what I did for a living, so I was able to, I think, bring that to him because he&rsquo;s a little more excitable.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Dylan added, &ldquo;I was able to light a little fire under you &hellip; sometimes you&rsquo;re a little too calm.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I always tell him, &lsquo;Our average age is only 45,&rsquo;&rdquo; Doug joked.</p>
<p>After struggling with navigation issues and a few of the challenges, Doug and Dylan found themselves in the back of the pack for much of the race. Though the pair reached the mat in last place during Leg 6 in Albania last week, they were saved when host <strong>Phil Keoghan</strong> informed them that it was a non-elimination leg.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/the-amazing-races-zach-and-nate-reveal-water-taxi-mistake/" target="_blank">The Amazing Race&rsquo;s Zach and Nate Reveal Water Taxi Took Them to Wrong Spot</a></p>
<p>Doug and Dylan were then hit with a penalty in Leg 7: an automatic U-turn, meaning that they would have to complete both Detour challenges, along with two other teams who were voted into a U-turn by their fellow competitors. Doug and Dylan ended up going head-to-head against married couple <strong>Michelle</strong> and <strong>Matt Patterson</strong> and dating couple <strong>Daisha Wilks</strong> and <strong>Dalton Hamby</strong> &mdash; two frontrunner teams &mdash; and managed to keep up until the very end.</p>
<p>Doug and Dylan ultimately reached the Pit Stop in last place just moments after Daisha and Dalton.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We probably finished, like, 30 seconds after Daisha and Dalton,&rdquo; Dylan recalled.</p>
<p>Despite their troubles, Doug and Dylan were proud of what they accomplished on the show.</p>
<p>&ldquo;No matter what we did, we already had so much from this experience,&rdquo; Dylan said. &ldquo;We were really proud.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Doug added, &ldquo;As I look at the history of this game, old people don&rsquo;t last real long on these things. So, I had clear eyes going in like that, and did the very best I could. But I wanted [Dylan] to have every bit of this experience he could, and the joy for me was seeing it through his eyes.&rdquo;</p>
