Finding beach pants when you’re 5’3” can feel weirdly impossible. Most pairs are either so long they drag across the floor, so oversized they swallow your frame or so sheer they only work for a two-minute walk from the pool to the hotel room. I wanted that relaxed, coastal-boutique look . . . just without the tailoring appointment afterward.
Lately, though, I’ve been spotting breezy wide-leg pants everywhere, from chic seaside boutiques in Nantucket to polished vacation outfits all over TikTok. The difference? The best pairs feel effortless instead of sloppy, with cropped hems, soft draping fabrics and easy pull-on waists that actually flatter a shorter frame. Ahead, I rounded up 13 petite-friendly beach pants that look far more expensive than they are — and they start at just $18.
13 Petite-Friendly Beach Pants With Coastal Boutique Vibes
1. Our Favorite: The smocked waist on these flowy palazzo pants stretches comfortably without digging in, and the wide leg falls cleanly without overwhelming a shorter frame. The real pockets are a nice bonus at this price.
2. Loose and Slimming: Stiff waistbands ride up when you sit, but the drawstring on these low-waist linen pants cinches to your size. Plus, the loose harem cut hides what you want hidden without looking shapeless.
3. Darling Details: The lace trim at the hem of these drawstring capri pants adds the kind of detail you’d expect from a small boutique. The lightweight fabric and a drawstring waist make them easy to wear.
4. Nautical-Chic: Wear these striped linen pants to a seaside lunch with a white linen shirt and espadrilles, and you’ll look like you’re summering in Nantucket. The breezy fabric handles humid afternoons.
5. Floral Fun: Fussy zippers and stiff waistbands ruin a beach day. The elastic waist on these printed wide-leg pants disappears under a tank, and the dark floral print forgives the inevitable spills.
6. Cropped Classic: Full-length palazzos can swallow a shorter frame. The cropped capri length on these flowy wide-leg pants keeps proportions clean and lets you skip hemming altogether.
7. Airy and Easy: These 100% cotton wide-leg pants skip the synthetic feel you get from cheaper beach pants. The elastic waist pulls on quickly, and the cropped length sits right at the ankle.
8. Palazzo Perfection: The loose harem cut on these baggy palazzo pants drapes well without clinging anywhere unflattering. This kind of style usually costs three times more.
9. Fabulously Flowy: The gaucho cut on these flowy capri pants hits mid-calf with a full sweep that catches the breeze. An elastic waist plus pockets make them the kind of pants you reach for repeatedly.
10. A Bestseller: There’s a reason these flowy palazzo pants keep selling. The wide-leg cut drapes cleanly, the price stays under $25 and the fit works across a range of body types.
11. Boutique-Worthy: The cut-out eyelet details along the leg give these striped palazzo pants the look of something hanging in a coastal boutique. Pockets and a drawstring waist keep them practical, too.
12. Tummy Control: The high elastic drawstring waist on these linen-blend palazzo pants sits above the midsection to smooth things out. The wide leg and cropped length keep the proportions in check.
13. Throw-On-And-Go: Pull these linen-cotton beach pants on over a swimsuit, grab the tote and head out. The drawstring waist adjusts on the fly when lunch turns into a longer afternoon.

Fans Praise Bianca Censori For Kanye’s ‘King’ Video: ‘Creative AF’
Kanye West’s latest music video has generated major reactions, particularly due to reports that his wife, Bianca Censori, directed it.
Beyond being Kanye’s partner, Censori is known for her work as an architectural designer. Her move into directing surprised many fans, with several commenting on her creative input.
The music video, titled “King,” is the opening track from the rapper’s 12th studio album, “Bully,” which debuted in March.
Kanye West recently released the visuals for his song “King,” and fans are now praising his decision to have his wife, Bianca Censori, direct the project.
Many cited the video as evidence that Censori is “creative” in ways that go beyond public perception, especially given the attention her bold fashion choices have received in recent years.
“Bianca might just be that girl. This is creative af,” one person said, while another remarked, “I love the world Censori has created with this album.”
Another commenter admitted they had previously judged Censori harshly because of her public image, but said the music videos changed their opinion of her talent.
“Wow, even the video’s got a royalty upgrade, guess ‘King’ just hired a queen for the director’s chair,” another wrote.
Kanye West Teased The Video On Instagram

The release of the video was preceded by a post from Kanye on his Instagram page, where he also confirmed the arrival of “Bully (Deluxe),” the expanded edition of his 12th studio album, “Bully.”
“BULLY DELUXE + KING VIDEO OUT NOW,” Kanye wrote, adding a clip from the music video.
In the clip, the rapper is seen dressed in a white suit while driving a vintage open-top car. Sitting beside him is a similarly dressed man who begins to shake vigorously as a police car chases their vehicle.
In the back seat, another man is seen reading a newspaper, while Censori appears beside him dressed in a nurse’s outfit.
Kanye Added New Songs To ‘Bully Deluxe’
For the deluxe album, Kanye chose a cover featuring a child with grills. He shared the artwork ahead of the release, writing in the caption, “New Cover.”
The updated edition includes revised mixes of songs from the original 18-track album released in March.
It also features new singles, including “OK” featuring Don Toliver and “Mission Control.” Kanye previously performed with Toliver in April during his Los Angeles show, where they delivered a rendition of “E85.”
Adding to the tracklist, Kanye also included a new version of “I Can’t Wait,” which features singer Lauryn Hill.
Kanye West Set For U.S. And Overseas Shows

Fans of Kanye will see him take the stage later this month for two shows at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
The rapper last performed in the U.S. in April, when he held a series of shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
July will also begin with a major performance for the artist, as he has scheduled a show at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
From there, Kanye’s tour will take him overseas to countries including Albania, Spain, and Portugal, with dates set for July and August.
He will later return for a homecoming show in Chicago, scheduled for September 3 and September 4 at Soldier Field.
North West Also Preparing For Her First Tour

In August, Kanye’s daughter North, who recently turned 13, will also embark on her first concert tour since becoming a singer.
She will be joined by rapper and singer Molly Santana, with whom she was recently seen on stage at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash in Chicago.
Tickets for the tour went on sale Friday, with an average price of around $78.46. North will perform exclusively in major U.S. cities, including Dallas, where the tour kicks off, and Los Angeles, which will host the final show.
The tour follows North’s debut EP, “N0rth4evr,” which she released early last month.
The EP features six tracks, all self-produced and written by North, including “H0w Sh0uld ! F33l,” “Th!s t!m3,” “Aishite,” and “#N0rth4evr.”
North’s EP release was met with enthusiastic support from her family, with many of them posting videos of themselves streaming and listening to the project.

Love Island USA’s Trinity Asks to See Bryce’s Penis Before Casa Amor
Love Island USA‘s Trinity Tatum and Bryce Alakai Dettloff reached a new milestone in their relationship when she asked to see his penis.
During the Sunday, June 21, episode of the hit Peacock show, Trinity had a specific request for Bryce, asking, “I want to laugh because you are showing everybody but me.”
Bryce warned that Trinity shouldn’t set her expectations too high.
“You can take a look,” he noted. “I am soft, though.”
Later in the episode, Trinity clarified that they “didn’t do anything” yet. “I have never seen a white d*** in my life,” she told the girls after telling Bryce his penis was a “cute” sight to see.
Season 8 has escalated what viewers have usually expected when it comes to sexcapades that took place this year in Fiji. While past seasons featured some couples finding ways to share an intimate moment or two, it felt like season 7 set some kind of record with the amount of sexual “journeys” taking place in the communal bedroom.
“We did have a code word [for sex which was] ‘journey’ and it kind of traumatizes me now. When somebody outside is like, ‘Oh, a journey?’ I’m like, ‘How dare you!’ I am clutching my pearls,” Amaya “Papaya” Espinal joked on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in July 2025. “People were having journeys.”

Since there wasn’t room for much privacy, Amaya confirmed that it did get awkward at night, adding, ”I’m like, ‘Can I sleep?’ We already don’t get enough sleep around here and then you hear [sexual noises]. The earplugs [we got] were not plugging? Those were low quality earplugs because we were still able to hear things. Especially if there’s a couple right next to you.”
Amaya was also asked about her time in The Hideaway with fellow winner Bryan Arenales. (The pair have since split.)
“It was steamy, all right. We were hot and we were sweating. It really was a great feeling to just have that private and intimate moment,” she gushed. “We actually do want to talk to each other and we love being next to each other. The next morning, we were just sitting and we were just quiet. It was beautiful and silent. I really did feel like I found my best friend where I could yap away or have a quieter moment.”
When asked whether Bryan really did “eat that kitty in The Hideaway,” Amaya coyly replied, “Well he definitely took that advice. We had a great night.”
While Love Island USA viewers know that “journey” is a code word the Islanders use for sex, the term “folded” is another one that has been brought up multiple times last season. Chris Seeley quietly revealed to Bryan that he “folded” the night prior with Huda Mustafa, adding, “I wasn’t going to tell anybody. [But] I couldn’t do it any more. I really tried [to hold out]. I just didn’t want to tell the other boys.”
In a confessional, Chris elaborated on how having sex has helped his connection with Huda evolve.
“I feel like that was just a great step into our physical connection that we probably don’t show in front of everyone else,” he noted. “It definitely made us feel stronger in our physical connection. That is really all I can say about that.”
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.

Summer House’s Danielle Olivera Gives Birth to 1st Child
Summer House alum Danielle Olivera has welcomed her first child with boyfriend Eoin Heavey.
“Aidan Santos Heavey born June 21, 2026 – 10 weeks early – longest day of the year both solstice wise and for mom and dad,” Heavey, 39, confirmed via Instagram on Sunday, June 21. Olivera, 37, confirmed the news herself by sharing Heavey’s post via her Instagram Stories.
“Here early but safe and we couldn’t be happier,” she captioned her Instagram Story while setting The Verve’s “Lucky Man” as the post’s musical track.
Heavey, who began dating Olivera in the spring of 2025 after meeting her nearly a decade prior, added further detail of their son’s birth in his Instagram post. “He’s heading to summer camp at NICU for the first ⅔ months in this world but mom and dad can’t wait to bring him home hopefully soon,” he wrote.
Addressing the pair’s decision to name their child Aidan, Heavey explained, “Fitting for his mom, Aidan translates to “fiery one” or “bringer of fire” and she was nothing short of amazing after getting contractions at 10pm on Friday, going to [the] emergency room at 3am in Southampton, then getting transferred by ambulance to Stony brook for a further 24 hours.”
Heavey then reflected on his own headspace. “Dad was a nervous, terrified, sobbing mess but couldn’t ask for a better first Father’s Day,” he wrote. Two accompanying photos captured a glass sitting on a window sill with “Promoted to Dad” written across it, and Olivera’s hand reaching through a hospital capsule to hold their child’s hand.
The couple announced in a joint Instagram post on May 15 that they were expecting their first child. “Baby Heavey on the way,” the post was captioned as a photo of Olivera showing off her baby bump illustrated how far along she was. In the snap, Heavey stood behind his girlfriend while holding his hands on her stomach.
Heavey spoke to Bravo earlier this year about how he met Olivera long before the pair embarked on a committed romance. “We both moved to New York around the same time, kind of after college, and we would have overlapped a little bit in regard to friend groups or parties back then. And we did meet back then,” he told the network, who published his recollection in an April article. Heavey also noted at the time that he was “living down in Miami” for a while before relocating back to New York when he reconnected with Olivera. The couple moved in together in January.

10 Best A24 Movies Streaming on HBO Max
Studio A24 has earned credibility with a string of highly successful films, made recognizable by what fans call ‘A24 vibes’ – their special brand of visual style, quirky tone, and creative expression. Just a decade ago, this small, indie studio took some big risks on unknown writer-directors that made a big impression. Today their films can rival tent-pole productions, with cinephiles keeping a keen eye on the A24 calendar.
Viewers looking for slick, thought-provoking, unusual films do well to check for the A24 logo. Though known for breathing new life into the horror genre, A24 is the studio behind a wide spectrum of films. It is the cool kid among film studios, and its fans are particularly cult-like in their admiration. HBO Max has shrewdly picked up on this trend and hosts a large swath of their film catalog. A recent update has added more A24 movies on HBO Max that are particularly worth checking out.

‘We Live in Time’ (2024)
We Live in Time takes all the inherent passion and comfort of a classic love story and, through a non-chronological mixture of events and some powerful tearjerker moments, leaves a massive impact with its story of true love. The film follows lovebirds Tobias Durand (Andrew Garfield) and Almut Bruhl (Florence Pugh), whose lives are forever changed when their chance encounter sets in motion a decade-spanning journey of love, pain, and romance.
The nonlinear approach to the storytelling of We Live in Time is truly what makes the film special, as it keeps information both hidden and out in the open to allow for maximum dramatic and emotional impact. It also certainly helps that Garfield and Pugh have a palpable chemistry with one another, with feelings of romance and the wild emotions of love exuding off of the screen during both their best and worst moments. While A24 is rarely known for their romance films, We Live in Time is easily among their best and perfectly aligns with their notions of experimental and groundbreaking cinema.

‘Sorry, Baby’ (2025)
A beautiful yet heartbreaking look at the difficulties and pains of young adulthood from Eva Victor, Sorry, Baby is a story defined by its portrayal of raw, human experiences and growth, even at their most painful and confusing moments. The film sees Victor as a young professor working at the same college she attended and living in the same house she lived in as a graduate student. However, due to a painful event as a student that has lingered in her mind, she feels stuck and unable to truly progress and have a normal adulthood.
Sorry, Baby is exceptionally intelligent with its portrayal of darker and uncomfortable subject matter, never glorifying the pain or going all out with a depiction, yet still reeling in the pain and ramifications of what has occurred. Through Victor’s exceptional lead performance and an array of memorable supporting performances, the film does wonders in terms of hitting the audience right where it hurts the most for its poignant story of the difficulties of life.
8
‘A Different Man’ (2024)
A dynamic and hilarious black comedy satire about one’s personal perception of their looks versus the truth of how they are perceived and viewed by others, A Different Man is a one-of-a-kind psychological thriller comedy experience. The film sees Sebastian Stan as Edward, an aspiring actor with neurofibromatosis who believes that his facial condition is holding back his prospects in life. After getting an experimental surgery to cure his condition, he abandons his old name and life to begin anew, only to get a sense of regret when Oswald (Adam Pearson), another man with neurofibromatosis, seems to be living his perfect life.
A Different Man is exceptional in being able to balance comedy and self-reflective themes of perception together to make for a compelling, unpredictable experience. Each subsequent twist and element to the branching story and chaos of Edward’s life manages to make the overall experience both more hilarious and more intricate in its scope and scale. Everyone also gives a standout performance in the film, with Pearson especially stealing the show with his endlessly likable and charming portrayal of Oswald.
7
‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’ (2025)
Rarely has a film been able to balance overwhelming dread and tension with exceptional dark comedy as seen in Mary Bronstein‘s If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. This wild story of the difficulties of motherhood sees Rose Byrne as Linda, a mother on the verge of her absolute breaking point. She faces all sorts of chaos between the mysterious illness of her daughter, her husband being absent at sea, the difficulties of her therapist job, and a giant hole in her home forcing her and her daughter to live in a motel.
If I Had Legs I’d Kick You acts as this ever-increasing spiral of chaos and anxiety-fueled destruction, with each wrinkle only proving to make the overarching experience that much more painful and hilarious to experience. However, the film never loses its emotional side even with the more lighthearted comedic tone that it takes, sticking to its central themes and sporting a masterfully layered lead performance from Byrne.
6
‘The Lighthouse’ (2019)
Easily one of the most beautiful and visually distinct modern films, Robert Eggers proves that black-and-white filmmaking is far from dead with The Lighthouse. The film follows a simple yet effective premise, seeing two 1890s lighthouse keepers stuck on a lone island with only themselves to keep each other company and sane. It doesn’t take long before the duo begins to lose their sanity, questioning everything that happens around them.
Eggers makes the most out of the black-and-white aesthetic and 1.19:1 aspect ratio to create an otherworldly experience that could only be described as psychedelic. This goes hand in hand with the film’s intentionally confusing story, as the characters have a multitude of disturbing visions, false memories, and massive leaps of faith as to the true nature of the lighthouse. The film wouldn’t work nearly as well as it does without the duo of Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, whose performances are multi-faceted and allow audiences to come to a near-infinite number of conclusions as to the film’s true meaning.
5
‘Sing Sing’ (2024)
While the film was largely overlooked during the awards season due to its mismanaged release in the middle of the year, Sing Sing still thrives as one of the most critically acclaimed A24 releases of all time. The film is an emotional true story about the revitalizing passion and love within a Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison, with many real-life formerly incarcerated men portraying themselves in the film. The film largely centers around the emotional struggle of Divine G (Colman Domingo), as he attempts to find purpose through the art of acting.
For a film all about the beauty and grace found within acting, it would only make sense that one of the film’s defining strengths is its performances, with Domingo giving a generational performance that is among the best of recent memory. Equally great is his co-lead, Clarence Maclin, who portrays himself in a deeply personal and emotional showing of growth and evolution from his early days as a hardened shell before blossoming into one in touch with his own humanity.
4
‘Marty Supreme’ (2025)
One of A24’s biggest successes to date and a striking thrill ride of high energy and even higher tensions, Marty Supreme feels like the culmination of Josh Safdie‘s wild career of anxiety-driven filmmaking. The film sees Timothée Chalamet as charismatic yet ever so impusive ping pong player Marty Mauser, who has massive dreams of being one of the all-time greats of the sport that can elevate it to worldwide notoriety. In his journey to compete in a high-stakes Japanese tournament, Marty goes on a chaotic adventure to secure funds for what he sees as his last shot to cement his legacy.
What starts as a classic sports movie soon devolves into the signature style of madness and ever-increasing chaos that has defined Safdie’s previous masterpieces, yet is even further elevated by a masterclass of a central performance from Chalamet. The film exudes pure charm and passion from every sequence, further amplifying the passion and drive that the character of Marty himself feels to a self-destructive degree. It’s one of the films that has defined the modern era of A24 and will continue to be one of the most important films they’ve ever released.
3
‘The Brutalist’ (2024)
A meticulously crafted achievement in filmmaking that shows that massive-scale epics can still be accomplished in the modern day, The Brutalist is simultaneously a harkening back to a familiar style of filmmaking as well as a modernization of this classic approach to filmmaking. The film follows the story of visionary architect Laszlo Toth (Adrien Brody), as he and his wife (Felicity Jones) flee from post-war Europe in 1947 to rebuild their legacy and make a name for themselves through the American dream. After a partnership with wealthy businessman Harrison Lee Van Buren Sr (Guy Pearce), Toth’s life finds itself forever changed.
Films at this scale and gravitas are rarely created in the modern day, and even more rare is just how seamless and effectively the film makes use of this scale at every opportunity. Even with its gargantuan, nearly 4-hour-long runtime, the film doesn’t waste a minute of screentime with weaving together its story of hope and pain that is emblematic of the immigrant experience in America. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience of the modern era that is a must-watch experience for anyone and everyone who respects the art form of filmmaking.
2
‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ (2022)
The best picture-winning crowd-pleaser that has easily become A24’s most acclaimed and recognizable film, Everything Everywhere All at Once is a cacophony of wild visuals and concepts that is one of the decade’s must-watch films. The film follows aging Chinese immigrant Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh), who, on what was already a chaotic day at the audit center, gets that much worse when she is considered the key to ending a multiversal struggle. Being trained to harness the skills of alternate-universe versions of herself, Evelyn will have to take down a villain who threatens to destroy the multiverse.
Everything Everywhere All at Once‘s blend of top-notch action choreography, hilarious and absurd visual flairs, and unexpected tearjerker moments made it an instant classic from the very beginning. The film stands for the very type of wild, no-holds-barred, and constantly barrier-pushing capabilities of independent filmmaking that made A24 such an iconic studio and publisher. It manages to live up to all of the lofty expectations and hype surrounding it and will surely go down as one of the most notable films of the modern era.
1
‘Moonlight’ (2016)
Moonlight is an award-winning A24 film directed by Barry Jenkins. The coming-of-age drama explores the life of Chiron (played through his different ages as Trevante Rhodes, Ashton Sanders, and Alex R. Hibbert), a Black man growing up in Miami. Separated into three acts that each focus on different stages of his life, the movie explores Chiron’s grappling with his identity, sexuality, and coming to terms with traumatic events from his childhood.
The A24 movie tackles complex and hard-hitting topics with a kind of grace and empathy that’s so often lacking in portrayals of these subjects. It also offers a unique perspective not often seen in mainstream cinema, giving audiences the chance to connect with its main character and appreciate the emotionally resonant arc he goes through. The film’s simple yet powerful execution has helped it attain a massive status as one of the greatest dramatic films of the 21st century, as well as one of the greatest films A24 has ever released.

Which Love Island USA Season 8 Couples Had Sex on the Show?
The season 8 cast of Love Island USA could be looking to set a record with the amount of couples who hooked up — or had sex — on screen.
Peacock’s hit show follows a group of singles who have to pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa in Fiji. The contestants — who are referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in the villa and are under constant video surveillance.
Hosted by Ariana Madix, Love Island USA requires the group to be coupled up in order to have a chance at receiving the $100,000 prize. While the Islanders are filming nonstop for weeks, viewers are watching daily episodes — and even get to cast votes that affect couples and the fate of the contestants who are constantly facing temptation as sexy new singletons make their debut.
Peacock’s popular dating show returned in June with contestants Aniya Harvey, Beatriz Hatz, Bryce Alakai Dettloff, KC Chandler, Kenzie Annis, Melanie Moreno, Sincere Rhea, Sean Reifel, Trinity Tatum and Zach Georgiou.
While the Islanders paired off during Day 1, it didn’t take long for those bonds to shift. There was also the arrival of bombshells Gabriel Vasconcelos and Kayda Bosse, who allured several Islanders to reconsider their connections.
Before viewers tuned in, Peacock issued a message to remind the audience to be kind.
“The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community. We love seeing your reactions, opinions, and debates, but everyone deserves to feel safe and respected,” read their statement. “This is a space for fun, not negativity – so keep it kind, keep it positive, and remember: this is LOVE Island!”
Keep scrolling to see which couples have hooked up already:
Jen Terry and Gabriel Vasconcelos

After a recoupling, Jen and Gabriel were seen getting up close and personal on the night cameras. They confirmed the next morning to the other Islanders that they took things to the next level — and had a great time.
Sincere Rhea and Melanie Moreno

The former couple, who have been off and on in the villa, previously explored their chemistry before their onscreen split.
Zach Georgiou and Kayda Bosse

From forming a connection to being voted to go to The Hideaway, Zach and Kayda had sex on screen.
Corbin Mims and Kenzie Annis

The duo hooked up on numerous occasions before they recoupled.

Nicole Kidman Shares Father’s Day Tribute to Ex Keith Urban
One day after Keith Urban sent ex-wife Nicole Kidman a public birthday message, the actress shared a Father’s Day tribute to him.
“Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers,” Kidman, 59, wrote via Instagram Stories on Sunday, June 21, sharing a black-and-white throwback photo of Urban, 58, carrying the pair’s daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15, on his back.
The photo sat alongside a black-and-white snap of a young Kidman cuddling up to her late father, Antony Kidman, who died in 2014 at the age of 75.
Urban, whose divorce from Kidman was finalized in January, had just publicly wished his ex a happy 59th birthday, sharing a Saturday, June 20, Instagram Story that read, “Happy birthday, Nicole Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!” No photo was included in the singer’s Instagram Story.
Us Weekly confirmed earlier this year that the former couple, who were married for 19 years, finalized their divorce in a Nashville court on January 6. Us had confirmed on September 29, 2025 that Urban and Kidman had separated.
Kidman filed for divorce one day later, citing “irreconcilable differences” within her petition while requesting that she maintain “primary residential parent” of Sunday and Faith. (Kidman also shares two adult children, Connor and Bella, with ex-husband Tom Cruise.)

Nicole Kidman’s Instagram Stories tribute to Keith Urban Courtesy of Nicole Kidman/Instagram
The divorce finalization noted that neither party would pay one another alimony or spousal support, and confirmed that Kidman will serve as the primary parent of their daughters. Additionally, no monthly child support is paid.
Kidman addressed her split from Urban during an October 2025 interview with Interview magazine, telling the outlet at the time that she was “hanging in there.”
In a March interview, the Scarpetta star expanded on her mindset following the split, telling Variety that she was putting her energy into moving on. “I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good. What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,” Kidman said at the time. “That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
The interview also discussed how Kidman will remain in Nashville, where she had initially settled with Urban. “We have our life here,” she told Variety. “I’m part of the city and community for 20 years. It’s my home [and] we go away. I’m very close to my sister in Sydney [Australia], and all my nieces and nephews.”
As for Urban, an exclusive source told Us in October 2025 that the musician was similarly looking forward. “Keith has moved on and has been open with Nicole about where he stands,” the insider said at the time, adding the pair’s divorce was a “long time coming” after they “had grown apart quietly over time.”
The source stated, “The decision to separate was more about acceptance than surprise.”

Nicole Kidman Makes Surprise Keith Urban Move
Nicole Kidman is proving that some family bonds can remain strong even after a marriage ends.
The Oscar-winning actress surprised fans over the weekend when she publicly honored ex-husband Keith Urban on Father’s Day, marking the first time she has acknowledged him in such a personal way since their divorce was finalized earlier this year.
The touching gesture came as Nicole also reflected on the fathers who have shaped her life and the family connections that continue to ground her.

Months after finalizing her divorce from Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman made an unexpected move that caught fans’ attention.
The actress took to her Instagram Stories on Father’s Day to celebrate the fathers who have played important roles in her life.
Among the images she shared was a black-and-white throwback photo of the country music star carrying their daughters on his back when they were much younger.
“Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers,” Nicole wrote across the images. The post marked the first Father’s Day since the former couple officially ended their marriage in January.
The pair tied the knot in 2006 and spent 19 years together before announcing their separation in September 2025. They share daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

Urban wasn’t the only father figure recognized in Nicole’s Kidman’s Father’s Day tribute.
The 59-year-old also honored her late father, Dr. Antony Kidman, by sharing a touching black-and-white image showing him carrying her as a child.
Nicole has frequently spoken about the deep bond she shared with both of her parents. Her father, a psychologist and biochemist, passed away in 2014 at the age of 75.
The “Babygirl” star suffered another profound loss when her mother, Janelle Kidman, died in September 2024 at age 84. Their deaths continue to have a great impact on the Hollywood star.
While speaking with GQ in November 2024, Nicole revealed that grief still catches her off guard. “Life is, whew. It’s definitely a journey. And it hits you as you get older,” she said.
Rather than trying to avoid those emotions, Nicole said she chose to fully experience them, noting, “If you’re in it and not numbing yourself to it. And I’m in it. Fully in it.”
Nicole Kidman Says Motherhood Keeps Her Grounded Through Life’s Changes

As Nicole continues navigating life after divorce, she has repeatedly pointed to her children as her greatest source of purpose.
In addition to Sunday and Faith, the Star also shares Bella and Connor with former husband Tom Cruise.
Over the years, the mom of four has spoken openly about the role motherhood plays in keeping her grounded, regardless of what is happening elsewhere in her life.
During an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in October 2025, she explained that being present for her children remains one of her most important responsibilities.
“My children [give me the] purpose of being their protector and their guide, promising them that I’m here and that, no matter what, there’s always a safe place to grow up in,” she said.
Nicole also revealed that simple but meaningful things continued to energize her. She said that “life, connection [and] people” are what keep her feeling “vibrant and energized.”
Urban Makes Unexpected Gesture And Sends Nicole Birthday Wishes After Divorce

Amid their divorce, it appears Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are choosing to keep things amicable between each other.
As The Blast reported, Urban surprised fans on Friday by publicly reaching out to his ex-wife on her 59th birthday. The singer shared a message on his Instagram Stories that read, “Happy birthday, Nicole Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!.”
While Kidman did not publicly respond to Urban’s message, she acknowledged her birthday by sharing a peaceful photo of herself surrounded by nature and expressing gratitude for the outpouring of love and well wishes she received from fans and friends.
Their daughter, Sunday Rose, also honored her mother with a touching tribute, writing, “Happy birthday mumma. No one I adore more.”
Keith Urban Flaunts Nicole Kidman Tattoos At ACM Awards Amid Divorce

Weeks before the shocking move, Urban sparked fresh conversation about his relationship with Nicole when he appeared at the ACM Awards with several tattoos dedicated to the Oscar-winning actress still on full display.
As reported by The Blast, fans quickly noticed the ink tributes, including the large “Nicole” tattoo on his bicep and the “MARY” tattoo across his knuckles, which references Nicole’s middle name.
Recall that the ACM Awards also hold special significance because Urban’s knuckle tattoo was first spotted at the event in 2021.
Despite the end of their marriage, Urban did not remove or cover any of the four tattoos he got in honor of Nicole over the years, including her initials “NMK” on his wrist and a “babygirl” tattoo on the back of his neck.

Get Jessica Chastain’s ‘Perfume of the Summer’ on Amazon

Some celebrities wear the same perfume all year round — but not Jessica Chastain! As soon as June rolls around, she swaps out her entire fragrance wardrobe for Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt.
Chastain waxed poetic to Vogue about her love for perfume, explaining how she wears a different scent for every character she plays to really immerse herself in the role. With the weather heating up, she said Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt is her “perfume of the summer.” Even better, you can get it on Amazon for just $36!

Bois de Balincourt is one of the only woody scents I’ve smelled that’s perfect for the summer months. While many wood-centric perfumes can be deep, enveloping and frankly overwhelming, this one has a soft, creamy breeziness to it. Spritzing it feels like being wrapped in the lightest cashmere blanket while watching a kaleidoscopic summer sunset.
On the first spritz, it feels warm and creamy as sandalwood and cedarwood intertwine. As it wears, you get a light spiciness from nutmeg and cinnamon before it settles in a glowing ambery cocoon. Despite all of the warm notes, it glimmers similarly to morning light and lies very close to skin rather than enveloping you in a roaring, expansive ring of scent.
If you were to choose between the full-size and the travel set, I recommend the latter because a little goes a long way, and the smaller flacons will probably last you for years. With the set, you get a perfume oil roller ball and a TSA-approved spritzer, so two versions of the scent for under $40. Plus, considering how posh the scent smells, shoppers say the price is tough to beat.
“Worth the money. It’s a very luxurious smell,” one reviewer wrote. Another shopper said they “Don’t want to be without it” because it “smells so nice.”
Could Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt become your go-to summer scent? If you ask Jessica Chastain, it should. After one whiff, you’ll be hooked!

Love Island USA’s Kenzie, Corbin Defend Their Graphic Sex Acts
Not only did Kenzie Annis and Corbin Mims perform several graphic sex acts on Love Island USA — they also defended doing it in the communal villa bedroom.
The Sunday, June 21, episode of the show was building toward the Casa Amor reveal … but first the couples got one last sleep in. Kenzie and Corbin took that opportunity to show off their chemistry by hooking up despite them sharing a room with everyone else,
The next morning, Kenzie laughed it off when Trinity Tatum called her out for engaging in “French fries,” which appeared to be a code word.
“That is not kissing,” Trinity joked. “That is too wet.”
Kenzie stood by their behavior, adding in a confessional, “I was definitely getting some French fries. Feeling good.”
She continued: “We were probably doing a bit much honestly but I feel a strong connection with Corbin. We probably got a little bit carried away.”
Kenzie has already faced many highs and lows on Love Island USA. She initially formed a bond with Zach Georgiou before recoupling with Corbin — but then America stepped in and switched her partner to Caleb McDaniel. She was reunited with Corbin shortly before he headed to Casa Amor.
Love Island USA follows a group of singles who must pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa. The contestants — referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and earn a shot at the $100,000 prize.

While the islanders are filming nonstop for weeks, viewers are watching daily episodes and casting votes that affect the couples and the fate of the contestants.
Before viewers tuned in, Peacock issued a message to remind the audience to be kind.
“The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community. We love seeing your reactions, opinions, and debates, but everyone deserves to feel safe and respected,” read their statement. “This is a space for fun, not negativity – so keep it kind, keep it positive, and remember: this is LOVE Island!”
Host Ariana Madix has also had to previously issue a message for those Love Island USA viewers who are taking things too far when expressing their frustrations with the show.
“I do want to say something to some of those people who are online,” she said during a June 2025 episode of Aftersun. “Don’t be contacting people’s families. Don’t be doxxing people.”
Ariana questioned the behavior she saw on social media.
“Don’t be going on islanders’ pages and saying rude things. You still have time to delete all of that because the islanders don’t have their phones,” she noted. “So we are giving you a chance because this is a fun, amazing and beautiful show. We should be thanking each one of these islanders every single day for giving us themselves.”
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.
Join Us Weekly and Bracketology.tv in our first-ever Love Island USA fantasy league! This is your chance to predict who you think will win Season 8 and rank the Islanders weekly based on how confident you are that they will survive the next elimination.

Patrick Mahomes’ Kids Quizzed on Dad for Father’s Day 2026
To celebrate Father’s Day 2026, Brittany Mahomes is playfully quizzing her three kids all about their dad, Patrick Mahomes.
In a sweet video montage shared via Instagram on Sunday, June 21, Brittany, 30, asked her little ones about Patrick’s favorite colors, food, hobbies and more. (Patrick, 30, and Brittany are parents of daughters Sterling, 5, and Golden, 17 months, as well as son Bronze, 3.)
“How old is your dad?” Brittany asked Sterling and Bronze.
While Sterling correctly guessed that Patrick is 30, her brother thought their dad was only 2 years old.
“What does Dad do for work?” Brittany asked again, to which Sterling quickly answered, “He does rehab.”
Patrick is the starting quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, recently signing a multimillion-dollar contract extension. He sustained a leg injury at the end of the 2025-2026 NFL season, requiring ACL surgery and sidelining the quarterback for the rest of the team’s regular season games. (The Chiefs failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2014.).
“Rehab is going great so far,” the Chiefs star revealed of his prognosis during a January press conference. “I’m hitting all the checkpoints that the doctor wants you to do. Getting the strength and range of mobility back. So that’s been going great. Been doing all of it here in Kansas City so far.”
Patrick noted that his goal was to be “ready for Week 1,” of the upcoming 2026-2027 NFL season.
“The doctors said that I could be,” he said at the time. “I can’t predict what’s going to happen throughout the process, but that’s my goal. I’ll try to prepare myself to be ready to play in that Week 1 and have no restrictions.”
Patrick also hopes to participate in the Chiefs’ training camp, which will be held in July.
“I have to take it slow, but at the same time I’ll push to be out there as much as I can be,” he added at the time. “We have a great plan in place as far as where we want to get to. We have to let it all play out and take it a day at a time, which has been hard for me.”
In addition to rehabbing his injury, Patrick is also on daddy duty throughout his offseason.
“To the dad that sacrifices so much for this family, Happy Fathers Day,” Brittany captioned her Sunday tribute. “The hours of sleep you give up to be with us, the advice you give these kiddos, the calmness you bring to this family, nothing is ever taken for granted. We are so beyond blessed to have you 🤍🙏🏼. We love you!!!!”
