Two decades after their split, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey have reportedly had an unexpected reunion while travelling. The pair are said to have run into each other while on a first-class flight from Los Angeles to Hawaii on March 29, with TMZ reporting that Lachey, 52, went “bright red” upon noticing his ex-wife, 45. Simpson’s estranged husband, Eric Johnson, was also said to have been on the flight – though he was sat in economy as opposed to first class – as was Lachey’s wife, Vanessa. “They all had a nice conversation: Nick, Jessica and Vanessa,” a source told People. “It was very amicable and cordial.” Simpson and Lachey wed in October 2022, before she filed for divorce in December 2005. In 2020 memoir Open Book, she called him…

After almost two years of discreet dating and amid reports of a secret engagement, Florence Pugh and Finn Cole have finally gone public with their romance. The pair made their relationship official as they posed for photos at a recent Bvlgari event in Milan. In a sure sign that things are serious, Pugh, 30, then shared photos of herself and the Peaky Blinders actor, also 30, to Instagram, captioned, “Bvlgari with my boys.” This marks the first time Pugh has been public with a relationship since her 2022 split with Zach Braff, 51.…

Having spent years accusing Associated Newspapers of using unlawful methods to dig into his private life, Prince Harry has found himself in an awkward situation with one of their own journalists. Newly disclosed Facebook messages unearthed in his trial against the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday show the Duke of Sussex, 41, had a very cosy relationship with a reporter. The Duke of Sussex told the court in January that he had met Charlotte Griffiths, 40, just once at a party and “cut contact” the next day after realising she was a journalist. However, the series of exchanges that took place between the pair from December 4, 2011 to January 22, 2012 tell a different story. Following an all-night party in June 2012, records also showed…

F ollowing an arduous legal battle, a US judge has dismissed 10 of the 13 claims Blake Lively filed against her It Ends With Us director and co-star, Justin Baldoni, 42. Among them was Lively’s sexual harassment allegation, which stemmed from the pair’s time working together on the 2024 film – an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s popular novel of the same name. The ruling, handed down by Judge Lewis J. Liman in New York, found that actress and producer Lively, 38, could not pursue that claim under Title VII because she was considered an independent contractor rather than an employee. However, the claims of retaliation, aiding and abetting in retaliation, and breach of contract will still proceed to trial on May 18. Despite the setback, Lively has made it clear…

W hen she was still a toddler, Elle Fanning accompanied her 7-year-old big sister, Dakota, to the set of 2001 drama I Am Sam. “I just happened to be on set and they needed a little girl that looked like my sister for a flashback scene,” she told Teen Vogue in December 2024. “My mum was holding me and they asked, ‘Can we just use Elle for this? Throw her in there?’ All I had to do was get on a swing with Sean Penn, and I guess I did a good enough job.” It was a small part, but Michelle Pfeiffer, who also appeared in the film, remembers her well. “Elle was just toddling around the set, this little towhead, not a care in the world,” she told Vanity…

Popping a ham and salad wrap on her three boys’ lunch plates, Jade Kingston watched as each one slowly unfurled. “We hadn’t had many wraps at that point. The kids seemed to like them, but they made such a mess with the filling going everywhere,” the 43-year-old from Perth explains. A stay-at-home mum, Kingston said the problem stuck with her and, as she came up with and then dismissed other crazy inventions, the idea for something to hold wraps together kept surfacing. “I looked for a product to help, but there wasn’t anything,” she says. “Then, I sent a survey to all my contacts asking how they held wraps together and packed them. People said they didn’t as it was too hard, and others said they used things like toothpicks…

Love is truly in the air for Dakota Johnson and musician Role Model. The duo were spotted looking smitten after meeting up in Los Angeles on April 3, before heading out together for a date night with friends at restaurant Little Dom’s in Los Feliz.

Rom-com queen Reese Witherspoon’s romance with Oliver Haarmann is proving to be the real deal. While the pair prefer to stay out of the public eye, they showed they’re still happily together by enjoying a shopping trip in New York City on April 4. “It’s going well, but she is super private about it, as she has always been,” a source recently told Us Weekly of the relationship. Witherspoon, 50, has been seeing the German financier, 58, since mid-2024. The couple were unable to keep their hands off each other during a yacht trip to Saint-Tropez in July last year. And, while things with Haarmann are serious, the Us Weekly source said the star “isn’t really looking for marriage again”. The couple struck up their romance after Witherspoon split from…

After a tumultuous few years between Britney Spears and her sons, things appear to be on the mend. In a sweet public display of support for his mum, Sean Preston, 20 – her oldest son with ex-husband Kevin Federline – has recently changed his name on Instagram to “Sean P Spears”, having previously gone by “Sean Preston”. The move comes shortly after he and his younger brother, Jayden James, 19, reunited with their mother for a fun yacht getaway. According to Page Six, the symbolic gesture is especially significant given how strained Sean and his mother’s relationship in particular had been in recent years. While Jayden has been seen with the singer on occasion over the years, Sean reportedly skipped Christmas with the star in 2025, with a source telling…

BOND FORGED While fans were excited to see both 007 frontrunners acting together, their crossover on the set of Fuze was short. “I only had three days with Aaron at the end of the shoot, but we had a great time getting to know one another,” James told People. F or a little more than a decade, Theo James – born Theodore Taptiklis, a name that speaks to his Greek heritage on his father’s side – has ranked high on the list of obsessed-over actors. First came the teens who fell for Tobias “Four” Eaton, his brooding character in the Divergent franchise. Then came The White Lotus, in which he played obnoxious finance bro Cameron Sullivan, who had maybe just enough smouldering appeal to make grown-up audiences forget just how…

A lthough Nicola Coughlan has been part of Bridgerton since its record-smashing pandemic-era debut, the show’s third season put her firmly at the centre, focusing on the hot and heavy romance between her character, Penelope Featherington, and Luke Newton’s Colin Bridgerton. The storyline culminated in a near six-minute nude love scene, which quickly became one of the season’s most talked-about moments. During a Q&A in Dublin in June 2024, Coughlan pushed back when a question suggested she was brave for baring all on screen. “You know, it is hard, because I think women with my body type women with perfect breasts – we don’t get to see ourselves on screen enough,” she said in a now-viral moment that earned a cheer from the audience. “I’m very proud as a member…

Natasha Lester first fell in love with Charlotte Brontë’s tragic tale, Jane Eyre, when she was just 10. But in the years since, she saw a new side to the story. “I realised that what really stuck out for me was the madwoman [Bertha] and Rochester, not Jane, despite her name being on the front cover,” Lester tells WHO. “I wanted to give [Jane] a story which didn’t just have a romantic ending but fulfilled her yearning for travel, which felt true to the character.” That tale follows a character named Aria, an orphan sent to live with her reclusive starlet aunt at Hollywood’s notorious Chateau Marmont. As she grows up, her goal is to be as invisible as possible, until the hotel is sold to rock star Theo Winchester.…

Aubrey Plaza is preparing for her greatest role yet after it was confirmed she is expecting her first child with partner Christopher Abbott.

Taron Egerton appears to be off the market – and he’s making sure everyone knows about it! The Rocketman actor, 36, has recently been spotted getting close to American swimsuit model Brooks Nader, 29 – who will star in the Baywatch reboot – with the pair first sparking romance rumours with a dinner date at Capo in Santa Monica on March 28. They then strolled arm-in-arm to drinks, during which they were snapped looking very affectionate.

On March 25 the singer, 76, was walking into a building in Santa Monica, California when he was reportedly doused in an unknown substance by a woman, who fled the area. Luckily, he was not injured.

LOVE CONQUERS Reeves (with Grant on April 6) was surprisingly candid when asked about his last moment of “bliss” in 2023. “A couple of days ago with my honey,” he told People. “We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling.” G rief comes in many forms, oftentimes making people bitter to the world around them. In Keanu Reeves’ case, the heartbreak he faced in his younger years only appears to have made him kinder, walking through his pain with grace rather than allowing it to harden his heart. After years of sorrow, the 61-year-old now seems to be in a rich and fulfilling chapter of his life. His relationship with artist Alexandra Grant, 53, has been embraced by fans as a long-awaited second act,…

Playing the field, punching above your weight, throwing in the towel – the game of love is rife with sports terminology. And now there’s one more to describe the latest romance trend: roster dating. Just like drawing up a roster for a sports team, the focus here is creating a line-up of potential partners who each fill your cup in their own way. From the one who can happily debrief on work woes for hours to the one who’s the ultimate partner in crime for Friday night drinks, there’s less pressure to commit to just one person right off the bat. “Roster dating is when you’re intentionally dating more than one person at a time without committing too early to one of them, while you figure out who feels aligned,”…

He’s been a staple on Australian televisions for the better part of three decades with stand-out roles in popular series such as Doctor Doctor, Underbelly, Rush and McLeod’s Daughters, but Rodger Corser admits he’s more recognised these days as the host of The Floor. “I get stopped in the street more than for a lot of the dramas I’ve worked on,” the 53-year-old tells WHO. “That’s because dramas can be quite niche – some people like comedy drama, some like very serious drama, and not everyone watches. This is a broad show where families and households are all sitting down in front of the one screen. It’s a bit old-school.” Here, Corser gives us the lowdown on the second season of the hit game show. What can viewers expect from…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? It’s often and mostly with my bestie Angie Kent – we are so naughty together. We message things to each other, then FaceTime or do videos of each other laughing till we wheeze. All way too inappropriate to share! What was the last book you read? I love a memoir more than anything else, so it was actually Magda Szubanski’s memoir, Reckoning. As I’m also from a Polish father, I’ve been meaning to read it since it came out. It was so relatable. The last guilty pleasure you indulged in? Chocolate. Always chocolate and always dairy milk – I’ll never go past it. When was the last time you danced in public? It was probably last season of our show,…
