Just like the autumn leaves in New York City, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are falling—even harder for each other, that is. On Sept. 26 the couple held hands and kissed during a stroll through Manhattan. The day before, Affleck had flown into his girlfriend’s hometown from Austin—where he’s been shooting the upcoming thriller Hypnotic—so he could be in the crowd at Lopez’s Global Citizen Live performance that night in Central Park. “Ben wanted to be by her side,” says a source close to Lopez. “They are always supportive of each other’s careers, and Jennifer was very excited to have Ben in New York City.” After spending the summer traveling the world together, Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, have spent more time apart in recent weeks as they’ve gotten…

As soon as Kristen Welker and husband John Hughes, a marketing executive, wed in 2017, they started trying for a baby. When the NBC News chief White House correspondent, 45, didn’t conceive right away, they sought medical assistance. “I never imagined—and I think most people don’t—that you’re going to be one of the couples that will struggle with infertility,” says Welker. “Yet there we were.” After nearly three years and multiple rounds of failed IVF, Welker was told she could not carry a child. Despite the devastating news, she remained hopeful. The couple decided to use a surrogate, and on June 12 they welcomed daughter Margot Lane Welker Hughes. “It was the best moment of my life,” she says. Now Welker wants to help others struggling to have a baby.…

Country singer Walker Hayes can thank his daughter Lela, 15, for making his song “Fancy Like” a viral sensation. In June, Lela, the oldest of Hayes and wife Laney’s six kids, told him the track (off his Country Stuff EP) needed its own dance. After 30 minutes of choreographing, the duo posted their video on his TikTok. Since then, the single has topped Billboard’s Top Country Songs chart, peaked at No. 5 on the Hot 100 and popped up in Applebee’s commercials, thanks to its name-check of the restaurant chain. “This wasn’t supposed to happen to a 41-year-old dude with a wife, six kids, two dogs and two gerbils,” Hayes says of his shock over the song’s success. “Fancy Like” may be a novelty song, but Hayes thinks it…

This is the fourth and final season. How are you feeling? I’m really proud of the work this year. There’s a sadness and a finality to it that is really beautiful. I think people are really going to dig it. What has it been like costarring with Billy Bob? I’ve never had more fun acting with anyone. If I could work with him for the rest of my life, I would. Last year you also did a shark movie, Deep Blue Sea 3. Was that exciting? I learned how to dive on that, which was super cool. We might do another one…. We’ll see if the Shark Week gods are on our side.…

When Abby Phillip went into labor with her first child, daughter Naomi Angelina, in August, the CNN anchor and senior political correspondent, 32, didn’t panic. She decided to make dinner. “Naomi was 10 days late, and I’m a big believer that babies come when they need to come,” she says. “We were hanging out with my parents, and I went into labor. So we cooked through the first contractions. Then, as things really got going, we were like, ‘Okay, let’s do this.’” Twelve hours and a plate of sausage and polenta later, “There was a baby in the house,” Phillip continues. She opted to give birth at her home in Washington, D.C., where she lives with husband Marcus Richardson, 38, an application and cloud security engineer. “I spent the first…

Last Time I Stayed up Past My Bedtime Last night. You know why? This is a slightly embarrassing answer—my brother Christian and I were watching Bachelor in Paradise. Last Moment of Gratitude While we were making Lady in the Manor, [actress] Melanie Lynskey had recently had a child and was breastfeeding. She was so good and so patient during shooting. I’ll always be grateful to her for that. Last Perfect Day Off I spent a whole day on a lake in Massachusetts with a friend. We baked, indulged in the quiet. It felt perfect to just be still and calm and enjoy nature. Last Moment of Nostalgia [One of my first movies], Jeepers Creepers, turned 20.

He steps into his late father James’s iconic role, playing a young Tony Soprano in the Sopranos prequel film The Many Saints of Newark (in theaters and streaming on HBO Max Oct. 1). Speaking with People (the TV Show!)’s Jeremy Parsons, the 22-year-old says the job brought him closer to his dad, who died of a heart attack in 2013. Can you relate more to your dad after playing his best-known character? I understand the toll he went through, the hard work he put in as an actor that maybe I wouldn’t have known as a kid. I respect him as an actor more. But my dad is going to always remain my best friend. Are you nervous for people to see your portrayal? I’m just so honored. This…

It’s been 15 years since Topher Grace last played geeky Eric Forman on That ’70s Show. Since then, Grace, 43, has focused on movies, recently receiving acclaim for his work as white supremacist David Duke in 2018’s BlacKkKlansman. “I’ve loved doing different things,” he says. Still, when he got the chance to return to TV on the ABC sitcom Home Economics, he jumped at it. “I loved the writing and the role, but it was going to be 18 minutes from my house,” says Grace, who shares a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old with wife Ashley Hinshaw, 32. “There’s nothing better than to be able to work very close to my family.” You play one of three squabbling siblings in Home Economics. What’s your relationship like with your own sibling,…

‘NOW A NEW LEADER—WILLIAM, NOT CHARLES—IS PAVING THE WAY FORWARD’—LACEY Nad oes angen tywysog ar Gymru. In case your Welsh is rusty, here’s a translation: “Wales doesn’t need a prince.” That phrase is currently plastered on billboards in Wales with a huge photograph of next-in-line-to-the-throne Prince Charles. It’s a bold assault on the monarchy, a reminder of Charles’s recent cash-for-access scandal that embodies what so many critics see as the worst of the crown: privilege, special favors and self-indulgence. Nowhere does the saying appear next to images of Prince William alongside his wife, Kate, and their three children. Why? Because with the Cambridge family, the anti-royal sentiment of the message would vanish almost entirely—a dramatic change that reflects the charismatic role the future King William V is playing in the…

Days before her husband, Gregg Leakes, died of colon cancer, NeNe Leakes took time to reflect on their 25-year relationship and the unavoidable fate she was about to face. “There’s nothing you can do to prepare for this,” the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 53, says about coming to terms with her husband’s grim prognosis. “We talked a lot, and we made peace with what was happening.” While NeNe was hit with an overwhelming sense of loss after Gregg, 66, took his final breath in their Atlanta home on Sept. 1, she found comfort in some of Gregg’s last words to her: “I’m not going to leave you. God is going to bless you.” Adds NeNe: “He said he wanted me to move on with my life.” Naturally, it won’t…

From Bond to Bacall, Jacqueline Bisset has shared the screen with Hollywood legends—and become one herself. Over 56 years in show business, the English-born actress, 77, has defined what it means to play strong, sexy, complicated women. “I wasn’t really attracted to the fluff of the business,” she says. “I was attracted to the depth of what a female might be.” Her latest film, Birds of Paradise (now streaming on Prime Video), set at an elite dance school, combines three of her passions—ballet, speaking French and acting. “I don’t want to spend too many hours on a set without having something that I get off on,” she says. Raised by her father, George, a doctor, and mother, Arlette, a lawyer turned homemaker, in Reading, England, Bisset was encouraged to be…

Kelly Clarkson is single again—and she’s reasserting her independence. A judge signed off on the legal dissolution of the pop star and talk show host’s marriage to her former manager Brandon Blackstock in early August, People has confirmed, making the exes officially single while they continue to finalize the details of their divorce. A source says Clarkson requested to legally reclaim her last name and is finding comfort in their children, daughter River, 7, and son Remington, 5. “When she is off, she spends a lot of time at home,” the insider says. “She is very focused on making it fun for her kids. They have a lot of playdates and activities. She really seems like a great mom.” The Voice coach, 39, requested the dissolution in July, saying in legal…

I was born in Saint-Marc, Haiti, and moved to the United States at the age of 7. I didn’t speak a word of English. My story is truly one of an immigrant coming to America for a better life. Haiti has been dealt an awful hand—poverty, political upheaval and natural disasters, from earthquakes to COVID-19 to the recent hurricane. So I’m working with UNICEF and Angels for Humanity [Beauvais serves on the organization’s executive advisory board] to raise money and awareness for people in dire need. Haitian immigrants are fleeing to the U.S., and it’s not just to find their own opportunities. They’re hoping to send money back to their families—they’re leaving to help others. It’s devastating to see images of border agents in Texas chasing migrants, [using reins…

Crowned a supermodel—and one of the “legends of the modern catwalk” by The New York Times—during the 1990s, Linda Evangelista has graced countless magazine covers and played muse to some of fashion’s most iconic designers, walking the runway for the likes of Gianni Versace, Valentino and Karl Lagerfeld, among others. At the height of her career, in 1990, she famously said that she wouldn’t “wake up for less than $10,000 a day.” But even as other supermodels like Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford have remained in the spotlight, Evangelista has noticeably been missing. “We haven’t seen Linda around town at any fashion events in a long time,” says one top N.Y.C. model booker. “Then I saw her on the street a couple of months ago, and she didn’t…

‘Breast Cancer Doesn’t Discriminate’ Angela Pohl, 47, was the fittest she’d ever been when she was diagnosed Although there is no history of breast cancer in her family, Angela Pohl got her first mammogram at age 39 and was aware of the importance of self-exams. But she let things slide during the pandemic. At the start of 2020 she noticed that her breasts felt denser, “but there’s always some excuse to not book an appointment,” says the mom of two from Chardon, Ohio. “Looking back, it was pure denial. I just kept saying, ‘It doesn’t feel that different from before.’” Plus, the superfit runner—she’s completed 55 half-marathons and 13 marathons—was crushing her goals. “I had set personal records in every distance,” she says. “How could I possibly be running the…
