Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente are heading into 2026 as newlyweds. The pair said “I do” in a small, private ceremony at their home in Surfside, Fla., on Dec. 3. A source close to the Brazilian supermodel tells People the intimate wedding was exactly what the couple wanted. “Gisele didn’t feel the need to share the wedding with anyone outside of her family unit,” the insider says, while a second source adds, “Getting married was in her plans. The timing just had to be right. She didn’t want anything over the top or made public, so they could enjoy the day, each other and the family.” Bündchen, 45—who shares son Benjamin Rein, 16, and daughter Vivian Lake, 13, with ex-husband Tom Brady, whom she divorced in October 2022—began dating the…

Kristin Cabot, the former Astronomer employee who went viral after appearing with her married boss, former CEO Andy Byron, on the jumbotron at a July 16 Coldplay concert, has broken her silence. “I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons,” Cabot, who was separated from her husband at the time, told The New York Times. After getting doxxed and receiving death threats, Cabot negotiated her resignation. “I took accountability and gave up my career,” she said. (Byron also resigned.) “That’s the price I chose to pay.”…

‘I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY’RE GONE’—CATHY GROSSU, CRISTINA BIFFLE’S MOTHER Retired NASCAR champion Greg Biffle, his wife, Cristina, and his two children—Emma, 14, whom he shared with ex-wife Nicole Lunders, and Ryder, 5, his son with Cristina, 35—were among seven people killed in a plane crash at Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina on Dec. 18. The Cessna Citation 550, registered to a company owned by Biffle, 55, was in the air for about 10 minutes before attempting to return to the airport, about 40 miles north of Charlotte, in heavy drizzle conditions. The plane crashed into trees and an airport fence and burst into flames when it hit the ground after 10 a.m. The three other passengers were commercial airline pilot Dennis Dutton, his son Jack and Craig Wadsworth, a…

Makeup-free and still in loungewear for a morning Zoom call from her hotel room in Australia, Oprah Winfrey is describing her recently consumed breakfast: “I’ve just had a croissant. And I ate the full thing.” Not long ago a buttery indulgence would have been an all-day obsession, she says. “I would have been thinking, ‘How many calories in that croissant? How long is it going to take me to work it off? If I have the croissant, I won’t be able to have dinner.’ I’d still be thinking about that damn croissant!” This morning, however, she is blissfully unbothered: “I felt nothing. The only thing I thought was, ‘I need to clean up these crumbs.’ ” The insignificance of her breakfast is a monumental shift for Winfrey, who two and…

Throughout his 50 years as a comedic actor, Chevy Chase has had plenty of professional ups and downs. In the new CNN documentary I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not (titled after his Saturday Night Live Weekend Update catchphrase), Chase, who rose to fame in SNL’s first season and went on to star in hit movies like Foul Play, Caddyshack and the Vacation series, reveals a much deeper (and at times darker) personal side. His childhood in New York was marred by physical abuse at the hands of his mom, whom he calls “an out-of-control woman” in the doc, and his stepdad. “Not a lot of people knew about [the abuse],” Chase, 82, tells People. “Some did, and some came close. But it was my true life.” As an adult he’s…

On the frigid afternoon when Charlie Otero’s life was ripped apart, the first indication that something was amiss came when the then-15-year-old spotted his dog Lucky unattended and shivering in the snow outside his family’s home in Wichita, Kans. “ ‘What are you doing out here, boy?’ ” Otero, now 67, recalls asking. Then he led the dog back into the house and immediately noticed his mother’s emptied purse on the floor. “Is anybody here?” he shouted. A split second later he heard his younger siblings Danny and Carmen, who had arrived home before him, yelling, “Charlie, come quick.” More than 50 years later memories of what followed on that gray day in January 1974 are still lodged in Otero’s heart like shrapnel. He ran to his parents’ bedroom to…

From People’s Jan. 15, 1979, issue: Diana Ross has been used to all the money and fame since the ’60s, when her Supremes outsold every other group except the Beatles. The problem, she confesses at 34, is “growing up.” Splitting from her husband of six years, Robert Silberstein, in 1977 was rough enough, but she also put a coast between herself and Motown founder Berry Gordy. “I’ve wanted this freedom of space for so long,” she states. “I feel like Dorothy. Suddenly, BOOM, I’m in a whole new world.” She’d just heard that Motown was producing the film adaptation of the musical The Wiz, and she wanted to be Dorothy. In two weeks she won the role, and Ross put her 12-room Beverly Hills fortress on the market to move…

Happy New Year! For many people New Year’s resolutions center on health and weight goals. That’s one reason why People has so often shared the stories of real people’s weight-loss journeys. For many years it was through our Half Their Size series, a franchise that showcased inspiring transformations but didn’t include people who used weight-loss drugs or had weight-loss surgery. Over the past couple of years, things have rapidly evolved in the cultural conversation about weight loss. We now know obesity is a disease like asthma or diabetes, not a lack of willpower. GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound, once difficult and expensive to obtain, are now much more accessible, and we’ve achieved new levels of transparency when it comes to talking about them. We were excited when…

PETE DAVIDSON & ELSIE HEWITT The Saturday Night Live alum, 32, and his model girlfriend, 29, announced the birth of their first child, daughter Scottie Rose, on Dec. 18 on Instagram. “I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief,” Hewitt captioned the post, which featured a photo of Davidson and Hewitt holding the newborn, who was born on Dec. 12 and named after the actor’s late father, Scott Matthew Davidson. A source says the new parents are “settling into a rhythm” after Hewitt had a wisdom tooth extracted the day after giving birth. “It’s a really happy, exciting time for both of them,” the source adds. ANNA KOURNIKOVA & ENRIQUE IGLESIAS The former tennis star, 44, and singer, 50, welcomed their fourth child on Dec. 17. The pair,…

A product he used to mask his thinning hair ended up on opposing players’ jerseys, and videos of it went viral in the fall. Now NBA star Jaylen Brown, 29, is partnering with hair wellness brand Nutrafol to destigmatize conversations around hair loss. When did you first start noticing your hair loss? Maybe a year or two ago. I used to have braids, but I noticed when I [took them] out, I would shed a lot of hair. It’s not a great feeling. What did you do about it? I started to try different topical solutions, different serums. Nothing really worked, so I cut my hair. When you go to the barbershop, they add enhancements to make [your hairline] look even or [cover] spots where you’re thinning. It happened to…

Barry Manilow, who recently recovered from a weeks-long bout of bronchitis, announced on Dec. 22 that he is postponing dates for his farewell tour, the Last Concerts series, after a cancerous spot was found on his left lung. “It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early,” Manilow, 82, wrote in a Facebook post, adding that he needs surgery to have it removed. “The doctors do not believe it has spread.… So that’s it. No chemo. No radiation. Just chicken soup and I Love Lucy reruns.” In a statement to People, Manilow—who revealed in 2011 that he is living with a heart condition called atrial fibrillation—noted the tumor is stage 1 and said, “Ironically, I feel great and have no symptoms.” The dates for his tour…

Firefighters Cozy Up With Adorable Animals Australia When it comes to picking the “real-life superheroes” featured in the annual Australian Firefighters Calendar, the most important prerequisite might come as a surprise. It’s not their impressive pecs or megawatt smiles—though those don’t hurt—but rather “they’ve got to be great guys,” says calendar director David Rogers. The project raises money to support several global causes each year, including assisting those impacted by the California wildfires and floods in Texas. For the firefighters, helping people “is what they love the most,” says Rogers. —ALEXANDRA SCHONFELD Five editions of the 2026 calendar are available on Amazon and australianfirefighterscalendar.com.

Amber Glenn has just left the ice and is still peeling off her gear as she launches into a recap of her past few weeks. The 26-year-old recently recovered from a bout of the flu and is returning from the nearly nonstop travel typical for top figure skaters before the Olympics: photo shoots and commercials squeezed between competitions, interviews scheduled while her skates are still on. On this recent afternoon she’s chatty and candid despite feeling in the moment like a bit of a “mess,” she says. “I’m looking forward to this journey. It’s been a long, very difficult road.” The 2025 women’s national champion, Glenn hopes all of her work will propel her to qualify in January for her first Winter Games, in Italy the following month. She could…

Last time I sang out loud I play guitar. On the set of Silo they have a Gibson, and I made sure it had new strings and was tuned. I’ll sing real lightly. Last moment of pride Probably [working with] Audrey for She Dances. I knew she’d be good; I didn’t know she’d be great. And my wife [Robyn Peterman] used to act, was successful. Then she just decided to start writing, and now she’s a New York Times bestseller. Last DIY project My grill was broken so I fixed it. I live on a farm so you’re forced to fix certain things. Then you realize how easy it is to fix, like, a toilet, and you go, “Why would you ever pay someone to do this?” Last obsession Mine…

Nick Reiner sat behind glass, staring straight ahead while shackled and clad in a blue anti-suicide smock in court on Dec. 17, three days after his parents, beloved filmmaker Rob and photographer-turned-producer Michele, were found stabbed to death. It was a stark turn for the troubled 32-year-old, who his father had said was in “a really good place” just three months ago. As new details come to light ahead of Nick’s scheduled Jan. 7 arraignment, those close to the family are struggling to comprehend the violent act that sent shock waves through Hollywood and beyond. Rob, 78, and Michele, 70, died in the early morning hours of Dec. 14, minutes after sustaining “multiple” knife wounds, according to their death certificates. The When Harry Met Sally … director was found…

Long before her name became synonymous with colorful stones and accessible luxury, Kendra Scott was a 19-year-old college student guided by empathy and instinct. Her first business idea didn’t come from a design studio but from time spent at MD Anderson Cancer Center. “My stepfather had brain cancer, and I was there with him constantly,” recalls Scott, now 51. Watching patients endure chemotherapy, she noticed many struggling with the cold after losing their hair: “I decided I wanted to create headwear for men and women going through chemo.” Scott dropped out of college and opened a small Austin shop called the Hat Box, convinced it was the start of something big. “I really thought I’d be opening hat stores all over the world,” she says. “The truth is, no one…
