Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have reached another relationship milestone since rekindling their romance: spending a holiday together. The pair enjoyed the July 4 weekend in the Hamptons. “They were with family and friends and had several activities planned, including beach outings, boating and a BBQ,” a source says. On July 3 the couple arrived with Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme, 13 (whose dad is her ex Marc Anthony), in the exclusive Long Island area, and they got cozy during an afternoon stroll. The day before, Lopez, 51, and Affleck, 48, were on the opposite coast, spending time with her kids and his son Samuel, 9, at Universal Studios Hollywood, where the group went on several rides. “Ben is slowly getting to know her kids, and his son is…

Nearly three decades since winning a modeling contest in her native Germany, Heidi Klum, 48, has transitioned into an Emmy-winning host and producer. The former Project Runway emcee returns with a new season of her reality hit Making the Cut on Amazon Prime July 16. The mom of four (Leni, 17, Henry, 15, Johan, 14, and Lou, 11, with her ex Seal) opens up about fashion, family and finding joy amid chaos. ‘I’VE ALWAYS LED WITH MY GUT AND MY HEART.

What can you tell us about the new season? The show is maybe more bonkers than it was last season. It’s some of the wildest acting I’ve got to do in my career, because Kristen loses her mind. That sounds intense! I do have to unwind from that a little. If you pretend to be losing your mind, very easily you think maybe you are. Does filming scenes with a demon make you afraid to go to sleep? No. Because we’re all pretending—I know the guy in the suit. But I would be very scared if I were to watch it!…

Jane Blasio was 6 years old the day she learned she was adopted. She and her older sister Michelle, 11, had been taunted on the playground of their Akron school by classmates who called them “black-market babies,” adding, “you were both bought.” When Michelle told their parents, the girls’ dad, James, sat them down and said, “We have something to tell you. …” Their mother, Joan, continued: “You two were adopted. Do you know what that means?” Blasio admits she had “no clue” what her parents were talking about. “Michelle was crying,” she says, “and I just wanted to escape to play in the backyard.” Yet what she learned that day—and what remained unsaid—would change the course of Jane’s life forever. In 1988, sensing that her parents hadn’t told her…

Ellen Burstyn has some exciting news. “I got a puppy!” she exclaims from her home in New York as she begins gushing about Kerri, her new Cavapoo (a poodle and Cavalier King Charles spaniel mix). “She’s cute. But boy, does she take a lot of energy.” Luckily, at 88, the acclaimed actress—who first found fame in intense 1970s dramas like Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore and The Exorcist—shows no signs of slowing down. She currently stars in the romantic comedy Queen Bees alongside Jane Curtin, 73, Loretta Devine, 71, and Ann-Margret, 80. “The film has four leading actresses over 70. You don’t see that very often,” she says. Despite all her accolades—she’s won an Oscar, two Emmys and a Tony—the Detroit native says her biggest joy comes from spending time…

She plays a woman who wakes up handcuffed to her dead husband in the new thriller Till Death. Offscreen, Megan Fox, 35, enjoys a more low-key role as mom to sons Journey, 4, Bodhi, 7, and Noah, 8 (with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, 48)—and playing dress-up with boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly, 31. How did you feel about wearing a bloody outfit while filming most of Till Death? I like being bloody. I feel like I wear blood really well. It resonates with my energy. But that blood had to be wet to read right on camera, so it was cold! Have your kids seen any of your work? My kids don’t know what the Internet is. I don’t let them play with phones or anything, so they have a…

Beloved Grandma Celebrates Her 90th Birthday in Royal Style WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. Stephanie Perkins’s grandmother Martha Newsome (aka “G-Ma”) is her shopping buddy and best friend—and even served as a “Flower Granny” for Perkins’s 2019 wedding. “She’s the best person I know,” says the 33-year-old second-grade teacher. Which is why Perkins decided to celebrate Newsome’s 90th birthday with a special princess-themed photo shoot. “We hadn’t been around her at all, and we’d all been vaccinated,” says Perkins, who organized the April 23 event at Wake Forest University’s Reynolda Gardens—complete with a fluffy pink tutu, tiara, birthday balloons and cookies made to look like Newsome. “She’s really spunky,” says photographer Melissa Denny, 37, whose Facebook posts have been shared more than 48,000 times. “She was down for whatever!” Adds Perkins: “G-Ma had…

In the days leading up to their long-awaited July 3 wedding, superstars Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton kept things decidedly low-key. After flying into town for last-minute preparations, Stefani stopped by a Dairy Queen near Shelton’s ranch in Tishomingo, Okla., with her sons, Kingston, 15, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, 7, on June 30 for some sweet treats (the bride-to-be chose a vanilla cone). Then, on the eve of their wedding, pop star Stefani, 51, and country singer Shelton, 45, toasted their love with a small group of family during a dinner celebration featuring southern staples like fried catfish, pork tacos and hot chicken salad at Shelton’s Ole Red restaurant. As they made their way into the dinner, “Gwen looked so glamorous and Blake looked so handsome,” says Dorothy Crowe, who lives…

On a Sunday evening this June in Omaha, the country’s top swimmers were preparing to take to the starting blocks for the opening day of the U.S. Olympic Trials, but for the first time in 21 years, the sport’s greatest of all time wasn’t among them. Michael Phelps was at the top of the arena holding hands with his 5-year-old son Boomer and looking down at the pool, overwhelmed. After dominating the Olympic Games as the most decorated athlete in history, he was there only to watch, not to win, races. “I felt tears getting ready to stream down my face,” says Phelps, 36. “It was all the different emotions: relief … but also like part of your life is gone. Just a combination of everything.” Standing there, frozen in…

After her explosive June 23 court testimony, during which she accused her family, management team and conservators of “abusive” behavior, Britney Spears found respite with her boyfriend Sam Asghari during a trip to Hawaii. “Britney and Sam had a wonderful time in Maui. It’s their happy place,” says a source close to the Spears family. Now home in L.A., the singer isn’t backing down from her fight for more independence—and “is very grateful for all the attention that her court testimony received,” the family source adds. As the judge told her in court, Britney, 39, and her lawyer Sam Ingham must file a petition to start the process of potentially ending her conservatorship. But a source close to the situation says Britney has yet to take that step because she…

The Who guitarist, 76, is ready to offload his London mansion, where a who’s who of rock royalty—from the Rolling Stones to David Bowie—have recorded over the years. Townshend purchased the 8,500-sq.-ft. home, known as the Wick, in 1996, and he’s not the first famous guitarist to live in the Georgian-era house: The Stones’ Ronnie Wood owned it in the ’70s. The historic home, built in 1775, overlooks the River Thames and boasts panoramic views of London. on sale for $21 MILLION…

My grandparents were refugees and had to flee for their lives. My grandfather fled the civil war in Liberia, and my grandmother escaped the Holocaust. I feel a deep responsibility to protect those who have been displaced from their homes because of persecution, war or violence. In 2013 I started working with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, an agency that offers protection and support in 135 countries. I’ve been to Syria, Uganda and Ethiopia and seen the work they do. When they first get to the camp, they provide food, water and shelter. In Ethiopia there was a school built for students. The number of refugees has doubled in the past 10 years—more than 80 million around the globe. My goal is to focus on the inclusion…

Even at just 18, Sabrina Nguyen had a zest for life that was infectious. The recent high school graduate often talked about her dream to become Internet-famous as the star of her own YouTube channel and loved entertaining her parents and older brothers at their Memphis home. “It was always fun being around Sabrina,” says her brother Jimmy, 26. “She was the life of the party and would bring the fun to you.” But Sabrina didn’t share everything with her family. When she began dating Keedrin Coppage, whom she met at a party in early 2019, she didn’t give her family many details about him. It wasn’t until a few months later that Jimmy even met him. When Jimmy and his girlfriend hung out with the couple, Coppage “seemed okay,”…

Last Moment of Gratitude Last night. My wife [singer Lily Allen] and I were just talking, and I was so grateful I’m not alone anymore. I have someone I can tell everything to and who can tell me everything. Last Injury I partially tore my hamstring on the set of Black Widow. I wish it was a cool story about hanging off a building, but I was literally running, heard a pop and collapsed. Very unromantic. Last Time I Danced We went to a Gay Pride event at the Brooklyn Museum, and I decided to heavily embarrass my step-daughters [Ethel, 9, Marnie, 8] with some horrible dancing. I was the only one on the dance floor. Last Time I Was Out of My Comfort Zone Hosting SNL was the…
