“I think the last two seasons have really put our show on the map and I think they’ve kind of exceeded all of our expectations of what else we can do,” Johnson, 32, told Us during an exclusive visit to the set of RJ Decker, where she and Chmerkovskiy, 40, were filming a cameo.

Johnson threw out more of her dream ideas, adding, “I would love to see an episode done at the Hollywood Bowl. I know that that has so many technicalities that would be crazy, but I feel like we’re at that point. We should do an episode at the Hollywood Bowl.”

She continued: “This is an opportunity that we never thought was possible. And this year, we’ve done Project Runway. There’s a spinoff to DWTS [called] The Next Pro. We performed at the Disney Upfronts. There have just been so many beautiful opportunities.”

Chmerkovskiy was also thrilled to see how “proud” ABC was of the show. Johnson echoed her husband’s feelings and expressed excitement for what could come next.

“It’s an honor to represent the brand and I will do it with my whole heart,” she gushed. “I absolutely love this show and I’m so grateful to have these opportunities.”

Season 35 marks Johnson’s 10th anniversary as a pro. While reflecting on her journey with Us, Johnson gave the DWTS team credit for making the ballroom feel like home.

“I think it’s great to have those milestones and to remember them and see how far you’ve actually come,” she noted. “I’ve just learned so much from Dancing With the Stars — honestly, from the people I’ve been surrounded with. So from producers to camera directors to our glam team to wardrobe.”

Johnson revealed how much DWTS has changed her life, adding, “I feel like they have all raised me since I joined the show when I was 19 years old and they are the best family I could have ever asked for.”

She continued: “But I think I just feel invigorated this season. I’m so looking forward to it. I just feel inspired. I have this fire underneath my belt. … I’m excited. I feel very inspired. I love to choreograph and I love to create. I hope to be able to do that for another 10 years.”

Chmerkovskiy, who has been part of the DWTS family since season 2, was on the same page as his wife.

'Dancing With the Stars' Pros: Where Are They Now?

“What’s interesting is I’ve obviously changed so much, but my approach and my passion for what I’m doing hasn’t changed at all. I have the same figure for showing up to set what I love and the same gratitude,” he told Us, hinting he “definitely” has “another 20 years” in him. “Obviously, the show has enjoyed being a top show for many years. But I feel like we’ve just exploded into the center of culture right now. We are the water cooler conversation amongst kids and adults.”

Though they’re booked and busy on DWTS, Johnson and Chmerkovskiy still found time to travel to Florida to film a dance sequence for ABC’s RJ Decker.

“We actually had limited time [to perfect our performance] because we were also rehearsing with Dancing With the Stars. But when this was presented to us, it was an immediate yes,” Johnson said. “It’s so outside of our comfort zone or what we are used to doing that we just knew that we wanted to do this artistically.”

Johnson loved that they were kept in consideration for the show, which also featured her season 33 partner, Joey Graziadei.

“But also I’m just such a big fan of shows like this. I love PI shows. I love investigation shows,” she concluded. “Even seeing the lead actor, Scott Speedman, do the scene with Joey has been so fun. I’m so proud of Joey for committing to acting.”

Dancing With the Stars premieres with a two-night event on ABC and Disney+ starting Tuesday, September 15, at 8 p.m. ET. RJ Decker returns Tuesday, September 15, at 10 p.m. ET.

In a clip shared by People, Alix, 25, and her sister Ashtin Earle were asked which story lines they would have removed from their new Netflix series if given the chance. Alix was seen writing “Alex” on her whiteboard in response.

The influencers previously joined forces when Alix launched her “Hot Mess” podcast in September 2023 under Cooper’s Unwell Network. The podcast was ultimately dropped in February 2025 amid rumors of a rift between Cooper, 32, and Alix.

“Obviously, there’s been a lot of chatter online this week about me and work. And I also have no idea what’s going on,” Alix said via TikTok at the time. “Don’t really want to get into the details of it all, and I kind of can’t get into the details of it all right now, but I’ve loved it so much, and I’m really proud of what I built with the podcast.”

Alix Earle Finally Shares What Caused Her Falling Out With Alex Cooper

Cooper, for her part, remained mostly tight-lipped about the status of her friendship with Alix. A source later told Us that there was a “lot of tension” once the duo began working together.

“They’ve had a lot of drama between them [since] they decided to collaborate on Unwell,” a second insider shared. “They clashed over business, and their friendship is over because of it.”

Earlier this year, Alix was caught reposting a shady TikTok about Cooper, prompting the “Call Her Daddy” podcast host to release a public message.

“I’m really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama to distract from other s*** going online for you. Not interested. I know what happened and so do you,” Cooper said in an April TikTok video. “So talk. Unless the fake narrative that you’re creating happens to be way more interesting than the truth. I have nothing to hide when it comes to you and me.”

Cooper urged Alix to “get specific” about their issues, adding, “Just say what you gotta say about me. There’s no NDA and no one is stopping you. Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself. What’s the beef?”

She concluded: “Unless you actually have something to say, I’m out. This is over. Have a good Monday, everyone.”

Alix hinted she was ready to share her side of the story, replying in the comments section, “OK on it!!”

Unexpected Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming

When Earle Meets World premiered on Friday, September 4, fans finally heard Alix’s version of events.

“There [were] just constantly issues. It just wasn’t run properly. It wasn’t what I was promised or told it was going to be like working with them,” Alix said about her professional relationship with Cooper. “There’s, like, personality, and then there’s, like, work things. And both things went wrong. For example, from the start, I didn’t realize things were going wrong because I was obsessed with her. I was like, ‘This is my idol. I’m so happy to work with her.’ And then constantly felt taken advantage of and used and mistreated and manipulated.”

Alix specifically pointed to a podcast episode she recorded with Cooper where the topics became “really sexual” as the duo began drinking on screen.

“I’m imagining myself in her shoes. To take someone in college, who is young and impressionable, you know looks up to you. And then ask them these raunchy questions, which I was definitely a little bit comfortable with,” Alix said in a confessional. “Part of that was stuff I had asked to be taken out after the interview. And she was like, ‘Oh, I think it’s so funny.’ And it’s stuff that I didn’t necessarily want to live on the internet forever. So that definitely hurt me. Or, it hurts now. In the moment, I just was like, ‘She’s looking out for me.’”

Alix continued: “My kids are going to see that and it took a toll on all of us. After that interview when we talked about our family experience, I cried to her. I was like, ‘Thanks, this meant so much to me. I really looked up to you and I’m so happy I got to share this story.’ It just makes me feel like a f***ing loser. I was so excited and happy and I thought I was doing something so good and I did something so hurtful to all of us.”

Cooper has yet to address any of Alix’s comments. Earle Meets World is currently streaming on Netflix.

Us can exclusively reveal a first look at the Wednesday, September 9, episode as Alec, 68, makes a special appearance to assist Hilaria — with mixed results.

“Alec is very smart, but we are both artistic people. We are not really academics,” Hilaria, 42, says in a confessional. “So I don’t know if this is going to be good.”

The couple work together on a two-person puzzle that leaves them stumped. Host Jack Whitehall offers Hilaria the chance to “sub him out for another family member,” which she considers.

Alec Baldwin Says Life Changed in a 'Big Way' When He Met Hilaria

Alec, for his part, stands by what he brings to the table.

“I passed the CIA test, by the way,” he adds, before Hilaria replies, “I bring you in here, and look, I am going to stay another day.”

While speaking to the camera, Whitehall, 38, jokes about how Nation’s Dumbest could affect Hilaria and Alec’s marriage, saying, “They have had several children. If we are the thing that breaks their marriage, I don’t want that on my conscience.”

Nation’s Dumbest is described as “a proven format across multiple international territories, channels celebrities’ inner school spirit as they head back to summer school, facing a mix of brain-teasing tasks, fast-paced physical challenges, and long-buried classroom knowledge.”

Each week, “the ‘smartest’ celebrity graduates, narrowing the field until a high-stakes final exam determines who will be left standing with the distinction no one wants — the title of The Nation’s Dumbest.”

Couples Who Survived the Reality TV Curse (So Far) 

While speaking with Us ahead of the show’s debut season, Hilaria admitted that joining the cast came with its challenges.

“I was a student that had to work really hard [when I was in school]. So I have ADHD and dyslexia and I was very ashamed of this at different times,” she recalled. “I wasn’t the most social person and I would just have to work much harder than the average person. Doing a show like this was a little scary for me, to be honest, because I think that I’ve grown so much. But I definitely had my moments where I’m like, ‘Oh no, all the trauma’s coming back.'”

Nation’s Dumbest airs on Fox Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Fox released the first look at the show’s Monday, September 21, return, as host Jane Lynch prepared to question new groups of people.

“I think the character I play loves to eviscerate people and say goodbye,” Lynch quipped in the sneak peek. “The soft me doesn’t … well I do enjoy it. Who am I kidding?”

She continued, “I do my best to make them suffer for it. But it’s not like the questions get harder as we go along.”

Fox Fall 2026 TV Schedule: From 'Best Medicine' to 'Special Forces'

Celebrity Weakest Link brings together eight celebrities who will compete to win up to one million dollars for a charity of their choosing. After answering general knowledge questions, the contestants bank money as a group and, at the end of each round, vote out who they consider to be the weakest link.

At the end, there will be two people left standing as they determine who takes home the money for a good cause.

Lynch originally hosted the revival in 2020 when it debuted on NBC. The revamped show aired for three seasons before moving to Fox in 2025 while featuring celebrity contestants.

“This is one game and we get to stand at our podiums and it’s so fun,” Lynch exclusively told Us earlier this year. “And it’s all these celebrities who come in — not only game for the game — but they’re game to make it an entertaining hour of television.”

Lynch also weighed in on how well she thought she would do as a contestant, adding, “I don’t think I’d do as well as I would want to do. I think I would embarrass myself. Because sometimes I go over those questions and I don’t know any of the answers. And then I’m so impressed with the contestants.”

Ashley announced the news via Instagram on Monday, September 7, captioning a photo of her and Manuel from their wedding day, “What a shame, tomorrow is our 4 year anniversary and I’m officially asking for a divorce.”

“I have felt unsupported by you for years, and now when I am in my most vulnerable state, you have done NOTHING [to] support me,” Ashley addressed Manuel directly, tagging his Instagram handle. “I am DONE. Do not come back to this house.”

In an update via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, September 8, the fitness coach thanked her followers for their support.

“TBH I’m just processing right now. It’s a shame that I had to put our relationship on blast to be taken seriously,” she wrote. “There’s a lot to unpack with how we got here. All I can say is, when someone shows you who they are…believe them.”

In recent weeks, Ashley has been documenting her recovery from abdominoplasty surgery, more commonly known as a tummy tuck, and a breast augmentation.

In a second Instagram Story on Tuesday, Ashley noted that she was 19 days post-surgery, adding, “I’d be lying if I said relationship stuff is not affecting healing. Again, one of the reasons why we got here.”

She continued, “Check up with Doc tomorrow. Planning on moving slow, laying low and focusing on my client work. I’m quite the resilient kitty, so I’m not here in a puddle of tears making things worse but this is why it’s so important to be aware of the company you keep.”

Ashley, from New York City, and Manuel, from Ecuador, were one of the couples featured on 90 Day Fiancé season 10, which aired from 2023 to 2024. The couple met in 2010 when Ashley studied marine biology in Ecuador. They reconnected 10 years later, and the TLC show documented Manuel’s relocation to the U.S., where he and Ashley wed in 2022.

After appearing on the flagship show, Ashley and Manuel joined the cast of spinoff 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After for the show’s eighth season in 2024. They’ve also been featured on a handful of episodes of another spinoff, 90 Day Diaries.

Ashley last featured Manuel on her Instagram in a post celebrating the 4th of July, while in May, she assured fans of the reality show that they were still together.

“I was with John-John — this is JFK Jr. — I was with him the Monday before the Friday when they died. Did you know that?” Martha, 85, told makeup artist and RHONY newbie Daisy Toye during the Tuesday, September 8, episode after revealing she was watching the FX series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.

Martha continued, “I was running Martha Stewart Living magazine, and he called me and he said he’s in trouble and could he please talk to me about what to do with George, the magazine that he had started. And I said, ‘Of course, anything you want.'”

According to Martha, the pair “had a very nice dinner” before John F. Kennedy‘s son mentioned that he was going to a wedding in Martha’s Vineyard that weekend with his wife, Carolyn, and sister-in-law Lauren.

JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s Relationship Timeline

“I said, ‘Well, who’s flying?'” Martha claimed. “And he said, ‘I’m flying.’ I said, ‘You have a copilot, right?’ And he said, ‘No, I don’t need a copilot.'”

Daisy — who has worked with Martha for more than a decade — was shocked by the revelation.

“I’ve thought about that so many times, that I told him to get a copilot,” Martha said.

JFK Jr. and Carolyn were killed in a plane crash off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard in July 1999, along with her sister Lauren. The late couple’s romance — and the aftermath of their tragic deaths — was explored in Ryan Murphy‘s Love Story, which debuted in February.

While viewers fell head over heels for the dramatized version of JFK Jr. and Carolyn’s relationship, those who knew the couple had their fair share of criticism for the series.

Why Is RHONY's Carole Radziwill Absent From JFK Jr., Carolyn's Love Story?

Former RHONY star Carole Radziwill — who was married to JFK Jr.’s late cousin Anthony Radziwill — makes her highly anticipated return to the Bravo universe this season, but she wasn’t involved in any part of Love Story.

“I signed on [for RHONY], and it just so happened that Love Story premiered in the same weeks that I started filming,” Carole, 63, told USA Today in an interview published on Tuesday. “It was a very emotional time for me. That show, really, it was like a body slam. I didn’t watch it, but you couldn’t get away from it. Martha Stewart watched it. The other women on the cast watched it and were curious about this and that. It was very hard.”

Carole noted that she wrote all that she “had to say about that time in my life” in her book What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love, which her new costar Daisy revealed in the RHONY premiere that she was reading.

“The emotions all came back [when Love Story aired],” Carole continued, teasing what’s to come for Bravo fans. “It’s a little grief that I felt, almost the whole time I was filming … You’ll see the arc of that story throughout, I think, the whole season [of RHONY]. Certainly in the beginning, and then it comes up really big at the end, and that was completely unplanned.”

The Real Housewives of New York City airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

In previous iterations of the Bachelor spinoff, pairs have been able to freely explore their connection until the finale when some contestants (think: Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert) decided to leave the show engaged. This season, however, contestants are voted off by their peers amid the competition for a $500,000 cash prize.

While some couples have continued to explore their connection offscreen, other former contestants found their way to each other without the cameras. Alli Jo Hinkes and Sam McKinney, for example, hard-launched their relationship on social media in July after missing each other in Costa Rica.

“Sometimes… You just gotta do it your damn self,” the couple captioned a joint Instagram post at the time, sharing a series of PDA-filled photos. “Be a force and #StayRelentless.”

Scroll down to see the status of the couples who left Bachelor in Paradise season 10:

Jess Edwards and Spencer Conley

After connecting on day one in Costa Rica, Spencer proposed to Jess during the finale.

“Every room that you walk into is instantly brighter. You don’t know a stranger. You’re welcoming to everyone. And you always lead with honesty and what’s right, even when it’s something that’s not easy to do,” he said. “I am so in love with you and you let me know the same. Jessica Taylor Edwards, would you make me the happiest man on the face of the planet and would you marry me?”

The twosome told Us that they don’t have a set “timeline” for planning a wedding.

In September 2026, Jess and Spencer announced that they split.

“After a lot of honest conversations and reflection, we’ve made the difficult decision to end our engagement and go our separate ways,” the pair wrote in a joint statement shared via their respective Instagram Stories. “There wasn’t one moment that brought us here.”

Kat Izzo and Dale Moss

After navigating some rocky waters, including claims that Kat had a secret boyfriend back at home, Kat and Dale left Costa Rica as a couple. They revealed on the “Viall Files” the day after the finale aired in September that they are going strong.

Andrew Spencer and Alexe Godwin

Andrew and Alexe solidified their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend during the finale. After the episode aired, they gushed in a joint Instagram post, “Love you level ♾️.”

'Bachelor in Paradise' Finale Recap: Who Got Engaged? Who Won the Money?

Jeremy Simon and Bailey Brown

The pair were eliminated ahead of the final test, but they are still dating after meeting on the beach.

“What a ride it’s been. From the first day in paradise until now, we’ve experienced so much more than we ever imagined. Though we didn’t win the money, we are both walking away with something far more valuable: a love that we’ve always dreamed of,” they wrote in a joint Instagram caption after the finale. “Life’s not about perfection, and our journey certainly wasn’t, but it’s all part of what has brought us here. We’ve grown so much over these past few months—both as individuals and as a couple—and we wouldn’t change a thing.”

They added, “Though our time in paradise wasn’t without its challenges, we truly believe everything happens for a reason. Every step, every moment, has led us to this incredible place together. We feel so lucky to have found each other and couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come. Xx Bailey and Jeremy 🫰.”

Jeremy and Bailey shared during the first part of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” season 10 reunion podcast that they have plans to move in together.

Kathy Swarts and Keith Gordon

The Golden alums’ connection turned to friendship while they were still in Costa Rica, leading them to eliminate themselves from the final test of the season.

Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston

When Leslie and Gary were eliminated from the show, they kept smiles on their faces and walked out holding hands. “Her and I will continue to move forward with our journey, just in a different way,” Gary said in a confessional.

Leslie later shared during an episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast that she and Gary “talk all the time.” She added, “We were at the premiere together watching the show in L.A. Gary is, I can honestly say right now, one of my best friends. I’ll call him if I have a problem. He kind of talks me off the ledge a little bit, and we are always there for each other. We have each other’s back.”

Is There a ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Season 10 Reunion? What We Know

Leslie noted that she doesn’t know “what it could be,” but wants to be friends with any romantic partner first. “We have special places in our hearts for each other, and that’s all I can say right now,” she said.

Faith Martin and Kim Buike

Faith and Kim may have been sent home from Bachelor in Paradise early, but the pair continued their relationship outside of Costa Rica. In an Instagram video shared after their elimination, Faith and Kim harmonized together as he kissed her neck. “Good times with family and sweet new friends! #liveyourbestlife,” she captioned the post. Kim, meanwhile, has shared fan edits of the pair’s love story to his social media page.

Allyshia Gupta and Sean McLaughlin

Allyshia and Sean ended their journey in Paradise when they sent themselves home, but have continued to maintain a bond after the show.

“Sean and I are on great terms. We like to have fun with it. It was fun for us. I mean, obviously there’s highs and lows of the whole experience, but at the end of the day, the relationships you walk away with are the best parts,” Allyshia exclusively told Us Weekly, calling her relationship with Sean “fantastic” and adding that “things are great.”

The pair have since gone their separate ways. In the first part of the season 10 reunion, Sean shared on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast that he and Allyshia had a “good run” and are no longer romantically involved.

Parisa Shifteh and Brian Autz

Parisa and Brian were eliminated by their fellow contestants, leaving the rose ceremony hand in hand. Brian said in a confessional that the pair were “excited for the future.” It is unclear whether they are still together.

Parisa shared during the first part of the season 10 reunion that she and Brian had a “good run,” while he added that the pair are “still good, close friends.”

Over 10 seasons of Bachelor in Paradise, the spinoff has become the show with the most success in the franchise.

Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul were the first “successful” BiP couple after he popped the question during the 2014 finale of season 1. While the pair were brought back to give the season 2 cast hope in 2015 — and exchanged vows in a ceremony officiated by then-host Chris Harrison — viewers later learned they were never legally married.

Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert subsequently became the first real deal duo, falling in love on season 2 of the spinoff. After they wed in January 2016, their wedding aired on ABC on Valentine’s Day. Season 7 couple Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs tied the knot in 2023 and now share two children.

Scroll through for a full list of the couples who are still together and the status of their relationships:

“Phaedra had mentioned that she was hanging out with CT to me a month or two ago, and I was like, ‘Wow, I love this.’ So, I was really happy,” Andy, 58, shared of the pair’s surprise romance on the Tuesday, September 8, episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. “I wanted to be very kind of, not only discreet, but I didn’t want to pry, and I just was like, ‘Well, I guess if this keeps going, I’ll hear about it,’ and then we all heard about it.”

During the Friday, September 4, episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, Phaedra, 52, confirmed things were more than just platonic with CT, 46.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star also revealed she was attending the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys on her Traitors costar’s arm.

CT Tamburello's Ex Slams Him for 'Publicly Promoting' Phaedra Parks Romance

“I know there were some people like, ‘Is this real? Is this real?’” Andy said on his radio show when responding to a listener’s phone call about Phaedra’s new beau. “Seems very real to me.”

Phaedra and CT first connected while filming season 2 of The Traitors in 2023. The pair grabbed the attention of viewers with their playful and palpable chemistry, which featured Phaedra calling her costar “castle daddy.”

On Saturday, September 5, the Bravo reality star took a big step in her relationship with CT when they went red carpet official.

“Some came for the awards. I came with the prize,” she wrote via Instagram. “Thank you to the real trophy for making a beautiful night even better. #Emmys.”

The new relationship has certainly grabbed the attention of costars and fans across the country.

After attending the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys together, CT and Phaedra received dozens of supportive messages from friends.

“Love this so much. I was there when we all met for the first time in the Landrover,” The Traitors and Big Brother alum Janelle Pierzina wrote in the comments section. “CT got in and you thought he was the mechanic. 🤣🥰 so happy for you both! ❤️.”

The Challenge vet Johnny Bananas added, “Mom and Dad ❤️.”

Phaedra and CT’s new relationship doesn’t appear to be slowing down. Over the Labor Day weekend, the pair traveled from Los Angeles to New York and visited Fire Island.

The duo were spotted displaying some PDA at MISTR’s “Hot Tub Games” at The Tryst Pool Club on Sunday, September 6.

“I keep hearing people with years of dance training go on the show — not just this season, but every season — and say, ‘Well, I’ve never done ballroom, so this is completely new for me. It’s going to be really hard,’” Bones, 46, shared in an Instagram video posted Saturday, September 5. “It’s not. It’s an obvious advantage.”

The host of “The Bobby Bones Show” podcast continued, “To watch some of the contestants go on and say, ‘No, it’s just not the same. It’s going to be hard for me too.’ It’s not. It’s just a little insulting when people that have danced their whole life go, ‘Ah, it’s not really the same because I’ve never danced ballroom.’”

Bones entered season 27 of the hit reality competition series with zero dance experience. With help from his professional partner, Sharna Burgess, Bones was able to defy expectations and win the show in November 2018.

Jenna Dewan and More ‘DWTS’ Contestants With Prior Dance Experience

As the countdown begins for season 35 with contestants like Jenna Dewan, Harry Shum Jr. and Julia Stiles, Bones explained how some participants may have a clear advantage.

“They know where their arms and feet are without having to constantly look at them,” he said without naming specific contestants. “They understand rhythm. They can hear the beat and know where a movement should land. They already have balance, flexibility, posture, body control and even spatial awareness. They know how to point their feet. They know how to extend to their fingertips and make a movement look complete. Things that, again, if you never danced, you have no idea what’s happening.”

Bones made it clear that he has “no problem” with people with previous dance experience competing on the show alongside those who have never sashayed before.

As he pointed out, it’s hard to find general performers — or actors and singers — in Hollywood who don’t have some kind of dance knowledge.

“I just don’t love pretending that ‘I’ve never done ballroom’ means ‘I have no dance advantage,’” he proclaimed. “Because that, my friends, is a total load of bull crap.”

Before a new season kicks off, Carrie Ann Inaba also weighed in on the debate surrounding the more seasoned contestants.

'Dancing With the Stars' Season 35 Judges and Hosts Revealed

According to the longtime DWTS judge, people don’t often realize the work that goes into becoming, specifically, a ballroom dancer.

“Your body has memory, so it remembers how to dance, and it thinks it already knows how to do these moves, but it doesn’t,” she claimed to Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Monday, September 7. “It takes a lot of time to un-train the body to put your weight on the front more over your toes instead of back and down and grounded. It’s not as easy as people think.”

Dancing With the Stars season 35 kicks off with a two-night premiere on ABC and Disney+ Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, at 8 p.m. ET.

“If Dancing With the Stars wants Kelsey on that show, I guarantee they’re going to get some good stuff,” Graziadei, 31, teased exclusively to Us while on the set of ABC’s RJ Decker, in which he is set to make a cameo in the season 2 premiere.

Graziadei joked that he didn’t know “how good the dancing is going to be,” adding, “I know the quality of what they’re going to see on camera is going to be amazing. But I would just love to see her go through it because it was amazing for me. I think she would be great at it.”

The reality star, who has been engaged to Anderson, 28, since 2023, competed with Jenna Johnson in season 33 and came out a winner. Graziadei’s experience has made him want the same for others in Bachelor Nation.

The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei Proposes to Kelsey Anderson Again

“I’m going to throw a little deep cut one here [for my nomination] because he’s got some moves. My boy Andrew Spencer would be incredible on the show,” Graziadei suggested to Us. “I’ve seen him out a few times, break it down a little bit. He’s a better dancer than I am. So I think he would do really well and I would love to see that.”

As for Graziadei, he made it clear that he was always up to return in any capacity.

“If that show calls me back, I’m there. I’d love to always participate and be there. It’s done so much for me, and I really love seeing other people get to experience what I had such a great time doing,” he gushed. “So anytime I can be a part of that show and help other people and enhance their experience, I’d love to do that for them because it really is the best thing ever.”

Graziadei has also found himself expanding his career opportunities — including with his scripted acting debut in the season 2 premiere of RJ Decker.

“This is going to be my first time that people get to see me do a little bit of something different in scenes. I did 9-1-1 for ABC back in the day a little bit during my season, but I played myself,” he noted. “So this is the first time I’m playing a pickpocketer. I get to steal from people and I get to deliver a line or two. Hopefully people like to see me in this light because it’s been a lot of fun.”

Graziadei even got to share the screen with RJ Decker lead Scott Speedman.

“Scott was great. It was cool to be able to be alongside a successful actor like that and just to kind of riff off them,” he continued. “My job in this situation, since it’s such a small part, is just trying to elevate what they’re doing. So I’ve done that before on The Bachelor, just be a mirror and just try to have everyone else look great.”

Graziadei concluded: “ABC, if you want to toss me in Grey’s Anatomy, I will join. But I’m open to honestly whatever. This has been new jumping over to the scripted side, and it’s been really fun. I’ve enjoyed trying to be a character. I’ve enjoyed this idea of trying to remember lines and try to be someone different. There are similarities and some familiarity with being behind the camera already with reality, but it was also so different.”

Dancing With the Stars premieres with a two-night event on ABC and Disney+ starting Tuesday, September 15, at 8 p.m. ET. RJ Decker returns Tuesday, September 15, at 10 p.m. ET.

Aesha weighed in after Below Deck alum Ben Willoughby posted an Instagram video recently where he criticized how the hit Bravo show has been casting the crew. In the comments section, Kyle Stillie reflected on his own experience as a newcomer.

“You know when I walked on your season lad I’d never even seen a yacht, let alone been on one,” he wrote. “Casting flew me to Miami for my Stcw and then straight to Grenada to start filming and while filming production consistently encouraged us to be ‘larger than life’ because ‘this isn’t yachting, this is below deck.’ Controversy is exactly what they’re look for no?”

The comments from Ben and Kyle were recapped in a fan video, which is where Aesha jumped in, writing, “I’ve done Below Deck for almost a decade now and have never once been told ‘this isn’t yachting it’s Below Deck.’ Also, over the years they stress more and more we don’t have to drink and they keep a good eye on us.”

Every Star Fired From ‘Below Deck’ Through the Years

Aesha is currently featured on season 11 of Below Deck Med, which showed Nathan returning as boson. Off screen, news broke last month that Nathan was arrested on domestic violence charges in Australia in December 2025 after an alleged incident with an unidentified 29-year-old woman.

According to a police report viewed by Us last month, Nathan was charged with “assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing] a person without consent and common assault.”

The police memo reported that Gallagher was eventually granted conditional bail and he was convicted on three counts of domestic violence this month after he failed to appear in court.

Us also confirmed that Nathan is the subject of an Apprehended Violence Application that was filed on behalf of now-ex Gael Cameron in New South Wales. (An AVO is a legal order requested from a court to protect a person from someone who makes them fear violence, intimidation, harassment or stalking that is widely used in Australia, per NSW Government’s official website.)

“I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t. I made mistakes, and I will take responsibility for my own actions,” Nathan told Rolling Stone in an August statement. “I will not accept being portrayed solely through one the account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it. I have contemporaneous video footage from the night in question, as well as messages and other records, which I believe provide important context.”

In his statement, Nathan confirmed his breakup from Gael, with whom he shares 14-month-old son Kayden.

“There are also other matters surrounding the relationship that I have never discussed publicly,” he claimed. “My priority is being recognized as his father, establishing a relationship with him and ultimately finding a way for both of us to move forward and coparent peacefully.”

Below Deck Mediterranean’s Biggest Drama Through the Years 

Gael, for her part, released a statement on Saturday, September 5.

“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories. “It’s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself. I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that’s come to light, and I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”

Us has since confirmed that Bravo fired Nathan in light of his domestic violence arrest.

“Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan in the future,” a rep told The Los Angeles Times in a Thursday, September 3, statement.

Below Deck Med airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.

“Hi, I’m Whitney’s husband. text ‘Conner L’ to 21523 😜,” Conner, 32, who has been married to DWTS season 34 contestant Whitney Leavitt since 2016, captioned a TikTok post on Monday, September 7.

The social media video showed Conner and his DWTS pro partner, Adele Zaikman, pretending to read comments about him on his phone before becoming visibly upset by what they saw online.

“POV: You get cast on DWTS and find out ‘nepo husband’ doesn’t count as ‘star,'” Conner wrote in the video.

Mormon Wives' Whitney Leavitt and Husband Conner's Relationship Timeline

Whitney, 33, addressed the backlash as well in her own TikTok video, which read, “When someone says our nepo daddy isn’t a star.” Conner replied to the show of support, writing, “Yall are the reason I Nepo so hard 🤘🔥🖤 love you guys so much 🖤🥹.”

Reality TV fans were introduced to the couple when The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premiered in September 2024. During the season 1 premiere, Conner and Whitney relocated from Hawaii to Utah, which they had previously left after he admitted to having a secret Tinder account to solicit NSFW images.

Conner and Whitney, who shared two kids at the time, worked on their marriage and later expanded their family with a third baby.

“It takes time, and it takes a lot of work. I remember being in therapy, and my therapist asked me, ‘Before we even dive into this, you need to decide is this something you want to work out or something you don’t want to work out?’” Whitney exclusively told Us in September 2024. “It was something I really had to sit down [and think], ‘Did I want to rebuild this trust?’ That doesn’t mean that things aren’t still triggering to me. When it is, then I’m going to work it out and just keep moving forward.”

After viewers started to speculate about Conner’s sexuality, the pair poked fun at the comments.

“Do I need to put out a sex tape or something? Trust me, we’re good. Like, everything is fine,” Whitney quipped on the “Off the Vine” podcast in October 2024. “I think it’s because, like, when we were going through our personal stuff — and I know you haven’t seen it, but he struggled through a porn addiction — and there’s a scene where one of my friends says something along the lines like, ‘Oh, I can see how he was confused sexually.’”

‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 35 Cast: Meet the Celebs and Their Pros

Conner, for his part, opened up about working through trauma after he was sexually abused as a child.

“I had a really big problem with pornography. On top of that, I had a presence on a dating website — not because I didn’t love my wife but because I felt like I needed validation,” he explained during the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 reunion in June 2025. “I needed to get help. So we started going to therapy and trying to figure out why — and I knew why.”

Conner revealed that he only shared his history “with Whitney, my therapist and my family” before addressing it on screen.

“When I was a little boy, I was raped. When I was finally honest with that emotion and that memory, everything made sense,” he said in the emotional joint interview with Whitney. “The validation I needed … I hate that I did that to you. But I’m so proud that I was able to be honest with you and start working through some really, really hard stuff.”

Dancing With the Stars premieres on ABC and Disney+ Tuesday, September 15, at 8 p.m. ET.

Jessel Taank doesn’t like what she’s hearing about her costar and former friend Erin Lichy.

In Us’ exclusive sneak peek of the Tuesday, September 8, season 16 premiere of The Real Housewives of New York City, Jessel, 46, is asked a question that raises some red flags.

“How have you been?” new cast member Hailey Glassman asks. “Are you still working on IVF and all that stuff?”

After a brief pause, Jessel begins to wonder how her newest costar knows such personal information.

Carole Radziwill Confronts Jeffrey Epstein Rumors in New ‘RHONY’ Trailer

“Erin just mentioned that she relates to you because her father passed and your father passed, and then she mentioned something about IVF,” Hailey, 39, shares while trying to stay out of any drama. “In all honesty, I blacked out because I get carried at night. In all honesty, I don’t remember the context, but I do remember I was [tired].”

In a subsequent confessional interview, Hailey shares the real reason why she doesn’t remember specifics of the conversation at all.

“I was as high as a JetBlue flight when Erin came over,” she admits. “I don’t even know what was going on.”

In true Real Housewives fashion, producers roll the tape with footage of Hailey and Erin’s sit-down from just three days ago.

“We found out she had an issue with IVF,” Erin, 39, tells Hailey. “That’s why she wasn’t having sex, but that’s not how it was said to us. I never feel like I’m getting the full understanding or full picture.”

Jessel makes it clear that she isn’t upset that Hailey brought up the topic or knows about the information. She simply has questions as to why she couldn’t be the one to share it in the first place.

“Here’s the thing about our friend over there,” Jessel says as the cameras pan to Erin. “She does like to offer information that’s not hers. I wasn’t offended that you knew about my IVF. I’m very open about that. But it’s not her story to tell. It’s mine.”

Erin Lichy Says Carole Radziwill Gets 'Messy' on RHONY's New Season

Before season 16 kicked off, Jessel sat down with Us and was asked who could be the biggest pot stirrer. While fans will have to watch what happens, the Bravo star had a costar in mind.

“Erin holds the championship title of being a pot stirrer,” she said. “I don’t think she’s ready to hand that trophy over to anyone else.”

The Real Housewives of New York City airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET with new episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.

“Thanks for reminding me, because I didn’t even know,” Johnson, 32, teased of her 10-year anniversary as a pro while speaking with Us during an exclusive visit to the set of RJ Decker, where the DWTS pros were filming a cameo. “I think it’s great to have those milestones and to remember them and see how far you’ve actually come.”

Johnson expressed gratitude for the time she’s spent on DWTS so far.

“I’ve just learned so much from Dancing With the Stars — honestly, from the people I’ve been surrounded with. So from producers to camera directors to our glam team to wardrobe,” she noted. “I feel like they have all raised me since I joined the show when I was 19 years old and they are the best family I could have ever asked for.”

DWTS' Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy: A Timeline of Their Romance

She continued: “But I think I just feel invigorated this season. I’m so looking forward to it. I just feel inspired. I have this fire underneath my belt. … I’m excited. I feel very inspired. I love to choreograph and I love to create. I hope to be able to do that for another 10 years.”

Chmerkovskiy, 40, felt just as confident about his career after marking his debut as a student dancer on DWTS two decades ago.

“I remember that Val. What’s interesting is I’ve obviously changed so much, but my approach and my passion for what I’m doing hasn’t changed at all,” he noted to Us. “I have the same figure for showing up to set what I love and the same gratitude.”

While reflecting on the future, Chmerkovskiy declared he “definitely” has “another 20 years” in him, sharing, “Obviously, the show has enjoyed being a top show for many years. But I feel like we’ve just exploded into the center of culture right now. We are the water cooler conversation amongst kids and adults.”

The couple — who have been married since 2019 — gushed about getting to be part of this “very special time” for DWTS, which kicks off its 35th season this month.

“The last two seasons have really put our show on the map and they’ve kind of exceeded all of our expectations of what else we can do,” Johnson said before Chmerkovskiy quipped, “It’s a very special gift for us to be a part of it. We are, like, a cool show.”

As for what could be in the cards for the next chapter of DWTS, the possibilities seemed endless.

“I would love to see an episode at The Hollywood Bowl. I feel like we’re at that point,” Johnson suggested. “This is an opportunity that we never thought was possible. And this year, we’ve collaborated with Project Runway. There’s a spinoff with The Next Pro show. We performed at the Disney Upfronts. There have just been so many beautiful opportunities. It’s an honor to represent the brand and I will do it with my whole heart. I absolutely love this show and I’m so grateful to have these opportunities.”

Chmerkovskiy shared a similar sentiment. “They’re proud of us. Now we’re cool with the cool kids. And so it’s really an unusual time for us being recognized and being celebrated on the level that we’ve been celebrated. I’m just soaking it all in,” he added. “Any way we can be a part of the network, we are so, so happy and grateful to do that.”

The pair’s collaboration with ABC continues when the network’s hit series RJ Decker pulls off a DWTS crossover in the season 2 premiere.

In Us‘ exclusive sneak peek, RJ (Scott Speedman) has his fair share of new cases while the pro dancers were seen showing off their skills. (Johnson’s former celebrity partner Joey Graziadei — with whom she won season 33 — also appears in a scripted role in the same episode.)

'Dancing With the Stars' Pros: Where Are They Now?

“We actually had limited time [to perfect our performance] because we were also rehearsing with Dancing With the Stars. But when this was presented to us, it was an immediate yes,” Johnson said. “It’s so outside of our comfort zone or what we are used to doing that we just knew that we wanted to do this artistically.”

She continued: “But also I’m just such a big fan of shows like this. I love PI shows. I love investigation shows. Even seeing the lead actor, Scott Speedman, do the scene with Joey has been so fun. I’m so proud of Joey for committing to acting.”

When it comes to future DWTS contestants, both Chmerkovskiy and Johnson threw their support behind Speedman and his RJ Decker costars. (Speedman plays the titular role, with Jaina Lee Ortiz, Kevin Rankin, Adelaide Clemens and Bevin Bru rounding out the rest of the cast.)

“If Scott wants to do Dancing With the Stars, please. We will have him gladly,” Johnson told Us as Chmerkovskiy added, “I see him jumping over the barrier to the camera. So he’s got the range of motion. I think he’ll be a great dancer and he definitely has got the charisma.”

Dancing With the Stars premieres with a two-night event on ABC and Disney+ starting Tuesday, September 15, at 8 p.m. ET. RJ Decker returns Tuesday, September 15, at 10 p.m. ET.

The show, which premiered in August 2026, follows five couples who are described as having “shocking age gaps.” According to the official synopsis, each pair will “bravely step into the spotlight as they navigate love, clashing life stages and the scrutiny of everyone around them; is age truly just a number, or will their generational divides prove too large to bridge?”

Season 1 introduced a wide range of duos, whose age gaps ranged from nearly 20 to 40 years. Each couple is also at a different point in their relationship, with some being married for years — while others are still in the earlier stages of commitment.

Age Inappropriate isn’t the only series exploring the concept of an age-gap romance. Netflix’s Age of Attraction, which premiered in March 2026, is hosted by real-life couple Nick Viall and Natalie Joy, who have their own 18-year age difference.

The Age of Attraction description introduced the concept where “age is thrown out the window when singles search for their soulmates, but will the years come between them?” Season 1 concluded with two couples who are still going strong.

“I genuinely wish Chris well in whatever relationship or career he chooses to pursue. I’m not interested in commenting on whether his new relationship is real, for publicity, or anything in between,” White told Us in a statement on Monday, September 7. “What I would like is for him to put the same energy into ending our marriage that he’s putting into publicly promoting his new relationship.”

Tamburello and White tied the knot in October 2024 and separated earlier this year. Us confirmed that White filed for divorce in Miami-Dade County, Florida, in January. According to court docs obtained by Us, White stated that her and Tamburello’s marriage was “irretrievably broken.” She initially asked the court to divide her and Tamburello’s assets “equitably” and requested that neither party pay alimony.

“I filed for divorce in January. I never wanted to withdraw that case, but I felt pressured by Chris to do so,” White alleged. “Then, after I withdrew my filing, he turned around and filed himself — only for the case to continue dragging on for months. Since then, I’ve been trying to finalize this divorce. My counsel has made repeated efforts to move things forward as quickly as possible, and we continue to wait for his cooperation.”

White added that she is not interested in The Challenge star’s money since she has a successful career of her own.

“I am one of the top earners on OnlyFans. I support myself, I have my own career, and I do not — and never did — need or want money from this man. I’m not asking for anything from him other than his cooperation in finalizing our divorce,” she continued. “Contrary to popular belief, I don’t want his money. I don’t want to interfere with his life or mine. I want the same thing I wanted when I filed in January: to end this marriage and move forward with my life.”

White concluded her message saying that “if Chris is ready to publicly move on, he should be ready to legally move on too. Sign the papers!”

Earlier this month, Parks revealed that she and Tamburello were an item two years after they competed on The Traitors season 2, which aired in 2024. During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star confirmed to host Jeff Lewis that she’d “been out” with Tamburello a few times. She also teased that he was going to be her date to the Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

After news of Tamburello and Park’s relationship status made headlines, White was quick to react. She responded to a news post about the new couple by writing, “sign the papers,” referring to her and Tamburello’s ongoing divorce.

Prior to his marriage to White, Tamburello was married to ex-wife Lilianet Solares from 2018 to 2023. The exes share a 10-year-old son. Tamburello was also in an on and off relationship with his late The Challenge costar Diem Brown before her death in 2014 following a battle with cancer.

In the season premiere, which was released on Monday, September 7, host Adam Waheed addressed Cooper’s absence when he called to ask about her whereabouts.

“In case you haven’t heard, I am super pregnant,” Cooper, 32, said over the phone. “Anyway, you are on your own for this one.”

She continued: “But trust me, the group of people I put together this season will blow your mind. It is going to be epic. Now get going!”

Cooper didn’t make an appearance for the rest of the premiere. Before announcing in May that she is expecting a baby with husband Matt Kaplan, Cooper was seen multiple times in season 1 of Unwell Winter Games, which aired in April.

Season 2, meanwhile, is set in a warmer climate while introducing a new set of competitors.

“Filmed over four days at a luxury ranch in Canada, the series puts exes, rivals, friends and familiar faces under one roof for high-stakes competition and the fiery, unfiltered drama Unwell audiences have come to expect,” the show’s description read.

The cast, who is competing for a $250,000 cash prize, features Love Overboard’s Beau Bailey and Tim Demirjian, creators Chad Batchelder and Brandon Edelman, Unwell Winter Games alum Hallie Batchelder, Calabasas Confidential’s Suede Brooks and Perfect Match alum Kassy Castillo.

Rounding out the Unwell Summer Games cast are Love Island alums Pepe Garcia and Daniela Ortiz, social media personality Blake Gray, Too Hot to Handle’s Carly Lawrence, creator Zarah Kelleher, “For the Girls” host Becca Moore, Love Island UK alums Dejon Noel-Williams and Jourdan Riane and Perfect Match’s Jimmy Sotos.

Season 1 also had a star-studded lineup with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Demi Engemann, Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa, former Dancing With the Stars contestant Anna Delvey, Siesta Key’s Juliette Porter and Love Island alums Ekin Su Cülcüloğlu and Eyal Booker.

Influencers Batchelder, Hannah Stocking and Alissa Violet, Bachelor Nation’s Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt, reality TV star Louis Russell, WWE’s Saraya Bevis and more were also included at the time.

The series is executive produced by Cooper, Kaplan, Mina Lefevre and Eric Detwiler. Unwell Summer Games will also feature commentary from Unwell Winter Games’ Cameron Gerrard and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

“Our audience moves fluidly across platforms, and our job is to continue meeting them where they are with ideas that feel distinctly Unwell,” Kaplan said in a statement. “The response to Winter Games reinforced the opportunity we see on YouTube, and we’re continuing to invest in original formats that bring together great talent, big personalities and the kind of entertainment our audience wants to be part of.”

The next episode of Unwell Summer Games airs via YouTube.com/@Unwell on Wednesday, September 9.

TLC released the official trailer for the shocking 90 Day Fiancé season 12 reunion on Sunday, September 6, and once again the drama is palpable.

As the cast heads to New York City to meet and mingle, Catie Norboe is put in the hot seat after she enjoys a few tequila shots during a night out. At one point she tells a man — who is not her partner — that she’d “love to make out.”

“Don’t you think he’s embarrassed by you kissing other people?” Ashia Montgomery asks Catie as she sits alongside her partner, Josh Atkins.

’90 Day Fiance’ Sneak Peek: Shea’s Flirting Raises Red Flags During Party

Not taking the questioning well, Catie begins snapping at Josh before walking off in tears.

“I can do whatever I want. I don’t have to listen to you,” she says. “I think I do better on my own. I don’t want to talk to them ever again.”

Shea McGuire and Annabelle Chua are also forced to answer some tough questions. During the tell-all, host Shaun Robinson asks Shea what his relationship is like with his ex-wife Nicole today.

“I spoke with her on the phone a couple of times,” he replies calmly.

Viewers will soon find out how true that statement is when Shaun brings out a surprise guest.

“Well, there is some behavior of Shea that was inappropriate,” she claims. “Please welcome Shea’s ex-wife, Nicole.”

When Annabelle asks Nicole why she is here, she replies, “He’s not a faithful man. I have all of these things that I can show.”

Despite the tough round of questioning, the cast is able to have a little bit of fun. Raşit Kebabci’s partner, Mallorie DeGrange, tries to lighten the mood when she asks the ladies to play an innocent game.

“I’m going to give you three names,” she says. “You have to say, ‘f***, marry or kill: Rasit, Mido, Edward.”

Catie is quick to participate — and not name her partner — when she replies, “Marry Edward, f*** Mido because he’s hot and sorry I would [chuck] Rasit.”

Cameras also roll when Raşit Kebabci meets several of his costars for the first time.

Mido doesn’t appear to be exactly thrilled to meet the outspoken reality star, while Thomas claims he gets just a little too close.

“It was a forceful hug to rub his perfume on me,” he claims. “Your smell is an invasion.”

The 90 Day Fiancé season 12 tell-all begins on TLC Sunday, September 13 at 8 p.m. ET.

“I’ve been sitting here trying to find the perfect quote to encapsulate this photo, but I realized there isn’t one. Just the water and him. Two things that can get me through absolutely anything in this life,” Cameron, 30, captioned a Sunday, September 6, Instagram carousel that showed her in the surf with son Kayden, 14 months, whom she shares with Gallagher, 28. “In this moment I feel happy again 🩵.”

Cameron, who Us confirmed filed an Apprehended Violence Application against Gallagher in Australia in December 2025, also noted that the photos were snapped after her fellow Bravo star’s arrest. “@seathroughthelensphotography you are a legend and [a] half for capturing these in the middle of winter for bub’s first birthday,” the reality star continued. (An AVO is an Australian legal order that protects a person from someone who makes them fear violence, intimidation, harassment or stalking, per the New South Wales’ Government’s website.)

All four images in the carousel captured a bikini-clad Cameron smiling as she held her son in the crystal-clear water. She also disabled comments on the post.

Below Deck Med's Nathan Arrested on Domestic Violence Charges

The snaps arrived one day after Cameron, who began dating Gallagher in 2024 after meeting on the series’ season 9 charter, broke her silence over her ex’s arrest. Us confirmed last month that Gallagher was arrested and charged with “assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing] a person without consent and common assault,” according to a police memo.

“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I,” Cameron wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, September 5. “It’s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself.”

She continued, “I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that’s come to light, and I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”

Below Deck Med's Gael Cameron and Nathan Gallagher's Romance Before DV Scandal

The police report obtained by Us further stated that neither party sustained injuries. Gallagher was eventually granted conditional bail. It is not clear how he pleaded. (Gallagher was convicted of three domestic violence offenses on Tuesday, September 1, after failing to appear in a Sydney, Australia, courtroom, per records viewed by News 24.)

Gallagher broke his silence surrounding his arrest in an August 26 statement to Rolling Stone. “I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t. I made mistakes and I will take responsibility for my own actions,” the statement read before adding that he would “not accept being portrayed solely through one person’s account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it.”

He added at the time, “I have contemporaneous video footage from the night in question, as well as messages and other records, which I believe provide important context.”

The statement, which also confirmed that Cameron and Gallagher had quietly split, continued, “There are also other matters surrounding the relationship that I have never discussed publicly, including circumstances surrounding the breakdown of our relationship, previous allegations she made about a former partner and financial matters relating to the purchase of an apartment in Sydney.”

He concluded, “My priority is being recognized as [Kayden’s] father, establishing a relationship with him and ultimately finding a way for both of us to move forward and coparent peacefully. I’m not looking for revenge, and not asking anyone to take my side. I simply want the opportunity for the other side to be heard and for the evidence to be considered.”
