Gisele Bündchen’s family is about to get a little bigger. The supermodel, 44, and her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, 37, are expecting their first baby together, Bündchen’s third, a source close to her confirms. “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life, and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” says the source. Bündchen started dating Valente, a jiujitsu instructor, in June 2023, eight months after her divorce from ex-husband Tom Brady. “They’re taking it slow,” an insider previously said of Bündchen and Valente. “They started out as great friends first. She’s very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other.” Their baby will join Bündchen and Brady’s son Benjamin, 14, and…

Ant Anstead’s supercar company Radford Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Oct. 22, amid lawsuits by two business partners alleging fraud and mismanagement by Anstead and CFO Daniel Bednarski. Despite these “challenges,” the British TV host and automobile expert—who is dating Oscar winner Renée Zellweger, 55—tells People he remains “fully committed” to the company, adding that his “role and dedication to Radford’s success continue unchanged.” Anstead, 45, and Formula One champion Jenson Button revived the formerly defunct British automaker Radford in 2020 with the goal of building custom, high-end sports cars. Ahead of the release of the 2023 docuseries Radford Reborn, about the creation of the Lotus-Radford Type 62-2 supercar, Anstead told People the venture was “personally, a huge risk” for him. The company’s bankruptcy filing comes after one…

Prince Albert of Monaco is furthering the work of his late mother, Princess Grace (née Kelly), by supporting young talent through the Princess Grace Foundation-USA. On Oct. 23 the royal, 66, stepped out in New York City for the Princess Grace Awards 40th Anniversary Gala. Since Albert’s late father, Prince Rainier, first held the event in 1984, the foundation has distributed more than $19 million to over 900 emerging artists in theater, dance and film, fulfilling a mission that was important to Grace before her death in 1982. “It’s a long road to success in the arts, and it’s a struggle. She knew that, and she wanted to help,” Albert told People. The dad to 9-year-old twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, Alexandre, 21, and Jazmin Grace, 32, hopes…

How did you channel the same furious energy as Cate, who plays a famous journalist? We got to work together briefly to block through my scenes so I could see her vision of the character. You’re the daughter of two esteemed actors—Greta Scacchi and Vincent D’Onofrio. Do they give you advice? I feel really lucky to have them both on call for me if I need them, but those moments maybe happen once a job. Got a guilty TV pleasure? Any kind of reality show!

Martha Stewart has been teaching for decades—through cookbooks, on TV, in magazines that bear her name. Now she’s schooling the world on the events of her own storied life in the new Netflix documentary Martha (streaming Oct. 30). “I just hope that everyone gets a few life lessons from the film and understands what’s been going on,” says Stewart, who will also release her 100th cookbook on Nov. 12. (Get a recipe from it on page 61.) No hard topic is off the table. Stewart, 83, reveals that both she and her ex-husband, publisher Andy Stewart, had affairs during their marriage. She details the ups and downs of her career, which peaked when she became the first female billionaire in the U.S. and hit bottom after she was found guilty…

SEXIEST TV HOST WINNER! MARK CONSUELOS Competition between the Live With Kelly & Mark host and Jimmy Fallon got playfully heated, but ultimately Consuelos couldn’t be defeated when it comes to smoldering while making small talk. “As a guy, I feel like I never really lean into the thought of being sexy, so it’s always nice to be reminded that maybe somebody thinks so,” he says. Though wife Kelly Ripa “will definitely dig it,” Consuelos insists the win won’t earn him any brownie points at home: “It’ll get me nothing.” SEXIEST BRAT WINNER! JOE JONAS Jonas’s sassy social media presence, cheeky attitude and take on Charli XCX’s “Apple” dance earned him the most votes. SEXIEST HEARTTHROB WINNER! JACOB ELORDI Oh, Elordi!

Sometimes things just work out perfectly. Like when Shemar Moore sends a beanbag flying 30 ft. through the air in his backyard, sinking it right into its target. “That’s what I’m talking about, baby, yeah!” the actor and 2023 Superhole cornhole champion exclaims. At 54, the first-time dad to 21-month-old daughter Frankie has figured out what it takes to make magic happen in more ways than one. “It’s skill, it’s hunger, it’s determination, it’s passion, it’s humility and a whole bunch of luck,” he says, “It has to be a perfect storm, and I’m a product of exactly that.” Recently the star and perennial heartthrob used that special sauce to help rescue S.W.A.T., the CBS police procedural he’s led since 2017, from extinction. “To get canceled twice in a row…

Last Time I Stayed up Too Late Last night. I got home from shooting and stayed up to watch American Ninja Warrior. I don’t want to do those things, but I love watching others do them. Last Thing I Took From a Set On The Irrational I gave my students thermal cups for an experiment. Now I use one daily for my black coffee. I take it with honey instead of sugar; I want to believe it’s healthier. Last Time I Sang Out Loud This morning it was “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims as I was getting ready. I’m singing constantly, like there’s a jukebox in my head. My grandmother used to say, “Singing ain’t nothin’ but hollering.” I like that. Last Memorable Fan Encounter A woman approached me…

More than a year after confirming their romance in July 2023, Zach Bryan and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia have called it quits. On Oct. 22 the country star, 28, confirmed their breakup in a statement posted to his Instagram. “Brianna and me have broken up with [each other] and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart,” Bryan wrote, adding that he thought it would “be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways” after he had “an incredibly hard year” of struggling “through some pretty severe things.” Shortly after he posted the statement, LaPaglia, 25, who hosts the Barstool Sports podcast, wrote on her Instagram Stories that she felt “blindsided” by Bryan. Hours later she posted an emotional video on YouTube explaining she had…

Topped Dogs: Fancy Hats for a Good Cause London For the seventh straight year, the Haute Dogs charity calendar has commissioned 12 international milliners—and 12 couture canines—to raise money for rescue pets. “With Haute Dogs, I can be a bit more playful and explorative with ideas,” says designer Jess Collett, who created a Wimbledon-themed hat for BB (below), though she’s better known for making the intricate tulle and crystal headpieces worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Princess Charlotte at the coronation of King Charles. “We’re showing rescue dogs in a new light,” says Haute Dogs founder Awon Golding, “and helping to save them in the process.” 2025 calendars, benefiting Rushton Dog Rescue, are available at hautedogscalendar.com Have a story that makes you smile?

Looking back at his youth in Wellington, Fla.—where his stepdad, Michael Warren, ran a used-car dealership, while his mom, Marlene, managed rental properties and took care of her two sons—Joe Ahrens remembers happy days when his mother went out of her way to make even routine chores seem like fun. “As kids, when we had to clean the house, she would turn the radio on and just get us in the groove,” recalls Joe, now 56. “She had that way about her to see the positive in everything.” The morning of May 26, 1990, the first day of Memorial Day weekend, started like any other Saturday in the family’s affluent South Florida community, where large homes were clustered around a private airport. Marlene, 40, had gotten up early to make…

Ilona Maher is on top of the world. Just three months after Maher, 28, led Team U.S.A. to its first medal in women’s rugby at the Paris Olympics—and took social media by storm with witty TikToks from the village—the newly minted America’s Sweetheart is taking on more challenges in season 33 of Dancing With the Stars. “I think when people say America’s Sweetheart, I’m like, ‘Me, the girl who plays rugby? Okay, I’ll take it,’” she says. “But I don’t think I’d be what most people think of—a tall, broad-shouldered rugby player—as the sweetheart of the country.” The middle of three sisters (Olivia, 30, who is also Maher’s manager, and Adrianna, 25), the athlete says she felt “socially awkward” growing up and “never fully learned how to make a friend.”…

Could there be more than friendship in the building for Meryl Streep and Martin Short? Steve Martin, 79, got fans wondering on Oct. 18, when he posted a cheeky Instagram of him and his two Only Murders in the Building costars—with a giant red circle and line covering his own face. In the comments section, fans hoped the cryptic image was “confirmation” that Streep, 75—who has been separated for years from longtime husband Don Gummer—and Short, 74, have taken their onscreen romance offscreen. Though Short told Bill Maher on his Club Random podcast in January that he and the Mamma Mia! star are “not a couple,” they’ve been spotted out to dinner and at premiere events together in recent weeks. ‘[MERYL AND MARTIN] JUST DELIGHTED IN EACH OTHER ONSCREEN, OFF-SCREEN…

When Mathis Family Matters star Greg Mathis Jr. tied the knot with engineer Elliott Cooper at the Waldorf Astoria in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on Oct. 21, the couple invited just 15 guests to their intimate nuptials. “Family is one thing with Greg and I that really solidified our relationship in the beginning,” says Cooper, 40, who met Mathis Jr., 35, through mutual friends in 2016. “Family is super important to us. They love us and we love them. It’s just pure.” Mathis Jr.’s dad, TV courtroom star Judge Greg Mathis Sr., 64, served as officiant. “Because my dad is a judge—a famous one too—he’s officiated everyone else’s wedding,” says Mathis Jr., an actor. “I’ve always thought, ‘I want my dad to officiate my wedding.’” ‘IT FEELS SPECIAL TO BE…

In the days before his death on Oct. 28, 2023, Matthew Perry appeared to have found a kind of inner peace. “He hadn’t been the sort of person who’d call up and say, ‘Gosh, I love you, I miss you.’ But he was doing that all the time,” says Keith Morrison, Perry’s stepfather and a Dateline correspondent. “I don’t know whether he had a premonition, or he had accepted the inevitability he wasn’t going to be living as long as some people.” Even as the Friends star, long open about his struggles with addiction, was secretly spiraling into dangerous ketamine abuse, he was also playing pickleball, attending tennis matches and having heartfelt conversations with family members. “He came up to me and said, ‘I love you so much, and I’m…
