Former Bachelor Jake Pavelka Engaged to Girlfriend After 2 Years of Dating
Former Bachelor Jake Pavelka is engaged!
The season 14 Bachelor, 48, is set to wed his girlfriend of two years, Aimee, he revealed to People in an interview published on Saturday, February 14.
Jake and Aimee matched on dating app Bumble in January 2024. Jake popped the question to Aimee at their home in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 2025, he said.
“We went and had a great dinner and laughed and had champagne,” Jake told People. “Then we took an Uber back to our apartment. I had rose petals on the ground and a table set up with candles. We walked in the apartment and she was like, ‘What’s going on here? Did somebody break into our apartment?’ She was looking at a table trying to figure out how a candle got lit.”
Not every couple survives the reality TV curse, especially in Bachelor Nation. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the franchise is one of the most popular reality shows on TV. When The Bachelor first debuted in 2005, not even then-host Chris Harrison would have predicted that it would result in six different spinoffs: The […]
“When she turned around, I was down on one knee with a really pretty ring, and I asked her to marry me,” Jake said. “She kind of gasped and then muttered yes. It was sweet and intimate. I definitely made the right choice keeping it private. It was a really special moment.”
Jake admitted to having some frayed nerves before he proposed to Aimee.
“We live in a high-rise in Dallas, so on the way to dinner, I walked Aimee to the elevator and then I said, ‘Oh, my gosh, I forgot something. I got to run back to the apartment real quick,’” the former reality star said. “I frantically ripped a bag of rose petals open, I pulled the table away from the wall and set a battery-operated candle on there. I sprinkled the roses everywhere and decorated real quick, got back to the elevator and she was like, ‘What did you forget?’ I was like, ‘I needed to get a drink of water.’ I couldn’t even think of a good lie.”
The former pilot previously gushed about meeting Aimee on Bumble in an October 2024 interview on the “Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous” podcast.
While some roses stand the test of time, others wilt before the Neil Lane engagement ring can be resized. The Bachelor premiered on ABC in March 2002 with Alex Michel dubbed the world’s most eligible Bachelor. More than 20 women competed for his heart and one of the most successful reality TV franchises was born. […]
“We matched in, like, the 15 minutes I turned it on,” he said of swiping right after a flight from his Dallas home base to Santa Barbara, California. “I said, ‘I’m not looking for a long-distance relationship’ and she said something kind of fun, like, ‘Well, you couldn’t handle it anyway.’ I was like, ‘Oh, OK.’ This is probably the girl. She’s so wonderful.”
Jake first appeared on screens during Jillian Harris’ season of The Bachelorette in 2009. He was the star of The Bachelor season 14 the following year. Jake proposed to Vienna Girardi in the season finale, which aired in March 2010, however, the couple went their separate ways by June that same year.
The exes had a tense showdown during a July 2010 episode of The Bachelorette as then-host Chris Harrison sat down with the pair to discuss what went wrong.
“When we were at home [it was] lonely,” Girardi said at the time. “I just wanted him to be around me and talk to me and kiss me like a normal relationship. My impression was that you were a pilot and we would go back to Dallas and live a normal life. All of a sudden, you were in LA and you were pursuing an acting career.”

Some thrillers vanish so quietly that even an A-list lead can’t stop them from slipping through the cracks. That’s pretty much what happened with Night Hunter, the grim 2018 crime thriller led by Henry Cavill. It never became much of a mainstream talking point, but streaming has a habit of rescuing exactly this kind of movie. Now Paramount+ viewers are giving it the sort of attention it missed the first time around.
The film has been charting on Paramount+ and was recently highlighted as one of the platform’s stronger-performing movie titles. Its ranking has moved around, but the bigger point is that it’s clearly being rediscovered. That’s not too hard to understand. Dark serial-killer thrillers tend to do well at home, and Cavill’s name gives the movie a fresh hook for viewers scrolling past it now.
The cast includes Cavill as Marshall, Ben Kingsley as Cooper, and Alexandra Daddario as Rachel. It’s a nasty, twisty movie with a much bleaker edge than some fans might expect from Cavill. But that’s also why it’s working as a sleeper hit. Paramount+ subscribers are clearly in the mood for something dark, and Night Hunter is benefiting from that.

Is ‘Night Hunter’ Worth Watching?
Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com stated that Night Hunter is the kind of thriller that thinks being darker automatically makes it deeper. The film throws viewers into a nasty story about a serial killer, broken cops, and vigilantes, but instead of feeling tense or smart, it mostly feels ugly and exhausting. It wants to explore moral gray areas, but its version of that is mostly just making everyone unpleasant.
“The most annoying thing about a movie that’s simultaneously as preachy and grim as Night Hunter isn’t that it’s ideologically repugnant, but that it’s also dramatically inert and actively unpleasant. I, myself, am a Stanley Tucci man (he is money in the bank, except maybe in the Hunger Games movies), but even I cringed when he, as the stereotypically overworked Commish, tries to take a swing at Simon (That guy killed a half dozen of my guys, and some had families!). Testing the limits of good taste in otherwise formulaic grimdark entertainment is one thing, but pushing against those boundaries for its own sake is just tiresome.”
Night Hunter is streaming now.

“RuPaul's Drag Race” production company announces contestant died before filming show at age 27
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/RuPaul-Misua-040326-7228dfd2efcb434f822abd490882cb65.jpg)
Misua was set to appear on an upcoming season of the franchise: “We are heartbroken.”
Lindsay Hubbard has taken a big step forward with her ex-fiancé Carl Radke amid all of the drama within the Summer House cast.
Lindsay, 39, and Carl, 41, teamed up for an Uber Eats campaign on Saturday, April 4, poking fun at the shocking fallout of Summer House costars Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirming that they are dating.
The clip plays into Amanda’s estranged husband Kyle Cooke telling a reporter this week that “Carl’s a mess” over the whole ordeal. The tongue-in-cheek ad sees Lindsay offering her former partner a tissue as he weeps over the big Summer House news.
“Is this [tissue] soft enough for you?” Lindsay asks while taking Carl’s hand.
The ad is full of Summer House Easter eggs, including a cameo appearance from Carl’s beloved zebra, Wesley Stripes.
“Can confirm, Carl is A MESS,” Lindsay joked in the caption.
As Summer House fans flooded her comment section, Lindsay revealed, “I unblocked him for this.”
The unblocking is a big step forward for the former couple since Carl confirmed to Us Weekly way back in February 2025 that Lindsay blocked him on all social media shortly after their split. (Carl announced he’d called off his wedding to Lindsay in September 2023.)

“I’m blocked on social media, so I’ve kind of taken that as understood,” Carl revealed at the time. “[I’ve been] blocked since the breakup.”
Meanwhile, Amanda and West stunned the Bravoverse on Tuesday, March 31, by revealing that they are dating despite both repeatedly denying any romantic chemistry. (Amanda and estranged husband Kyle split in January after four years of marriage.)
Amanda Batula appeared to be adhering to “girl code” after Ciara Miller split from West Wilson — just months before Amanda confirmed she was dating West. Amanda, 34, exclusively told Us Weekly in January that she didn’t think West, 31, was “marriage material” — at least not for Ciara, 30. When asked whether West or […]
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” Amanda and West wrote in a joint statement. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
They went on, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
“As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling,” they added. “We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
The news sent shockwaves through the Bravoverse — with Summer House cast members past and present, Andy Cohen and other Bravolebrities all weighing in.
While West’s former love interest Ciara Miller has yet to comment on the controversy, Kyle assured fans he was “good” during an interview on Wednesday, April 1.
“I appreciate people checking in. I’m actually really worried about Amanda, if I’m being honest,” he said. “I talked to [Amanda] last night, and I understand people have all sorts of opinions, and I’m not justifying any behavior, but, like, from what I’m seeing, she’s getting cyberbullied.”
He went on, “I just feel bad. Amanda knows that what she did was wrong, and she’s trying to come to terms with it, but she is not [doing] well.”
Tiger Woods’ private jet was seen landing in Switzerland on Friday, April 3, amid his DUI arrest and recent request for overseas treatment.
According to a report from USA Today, it was unclear if Woods himself was on the jet.
On Wednesday April 1, Woods’ request to travel outside of the United States for alleged treatment was approved by a judge.
In the request, Woods’ lawyer, Douglas Duncan, argued that the pro golfer has an “urgent need for a level of care that cannot safely or effectively be done within the United States,” according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday.
“Ongoing medical scrutiny and public exposure create significant barriers to his care and would result in setbacks and an inability to fully engage in treatment,” Duncan further claimed.
Woods, 50, was arrested on March 27 in Florida after he was involved in a rollover car accident. The golfer was subsequently charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit a lawful test.
Woods refused a urinalysis test when authorities arrived at the scene, according to authorities, but did submit to a breathalyzer test. The test resulted in triple zeros, suggesting Woods was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. Authorities allege Woods was under the influence of drugs, not alcohol.

An arrest affidavit obtained by Us Weekly revealed that Woods had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket and that he appeared “lethargic and slow,” with eyes that were “bloodshot and glassy” and “extremely dilated” pupils.
The golfer pleaded “not guilty” on March 31, the same day he announced he would be seeking treatment — though he did not specify what type of treatment.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” Woods said in a March 31 statement posted via X. “I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”
He continued, “I’ve committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”
On Thursday, April 2, Us obtained the bodycam footage from Woods’ arrest. The footage shows a police officer asking Woods if he has had any alcohol and what medications he had taken, before taking him through several tests.
Woods seemingly did not pass the tests to the officer’s liking.
The officer handcuffed Woods, saying, “At this time, I do believe your normal faculties are impaired and you’re under an unknown substance, so at this time, you are under arrest for DUI.”

'“Heated Rivalry” of horror'? “Leviticus” stars say their buzzed-about film is 'completely its own thing' (exclusive)
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/Leviticus-040226-04-c5cad875c6b14bd4a70c68a96b020216.jpg)
A “Talk to Me” star, an MM romance, and a shape-shifting killer entity. Joe Bird, Stacy Clausen, and director Adrian Chiarella talk the standout of Sundance and SXSW.
On modern television, there’s no shortage of spy thrillers. Over the years, the genre has delivered plenty of standout series filled with strong performances and the kind of tension that makes them easy to revisit. Arguably one of the best spy thrillers ever made, FX’s The Americans has all the elements of a show that holds up just as powerfully on a rewatch as it does the first time through.
Originally airing on FX and now streaming on Hulu, the Cold War drama rewards not just first-time viewers but anyone willing to revisit its layered storytelling and deeply character-driven approach. Across six tightly constructed seasons that just get better and better, The Americans reveals new emotional beats and thematic connections with each viewing, proving that its brilliance extends far beyond the spy genre.
What Is ‘The Americans’ About?
Set during the height of the Cold War, The Americans follows Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) and Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys), two Soviet KGB officers living undercover as a married American couple in suburban Washington, D.C. To their neighbors, they’re just another family raising two kids. In reality, they’re deeply embedded spies carrying out dangerous missions on behalf of the Soviet Union.
Each episode weaves together their covert operations with the pressures of maintaining their cover, creating a constant tension between duty and identity. As they try to live as good neighbors, travel agents and parents to their two very American children, Elizabeth and Philip are always operating under the threat of exposure, not just from the FBI, but from the very lives they’ve built. That tension is heightened by their neighbor, Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich), an FBI counterintelligence agent who is unknowingly hunting people just like them while living right across the street.
As the series progresses, the stakes become increasingly personal. Their children begin to question their parents’ lives while Elizabeth and Philip themselves grow divided in their beliefs, creating an emotional rift that adds even more tension to their already dangerous reality. What begins as a gripping espionage thriller gradually evolves into a deeply layered family drama. The show balances those two elements seamlessly, which is exactly what makes it so compelling to revisit again and again.
Every Season of ‘The Americans,’ Ranked
The Americans was one of the most popular drama series on TV and this is each season ranked from worst to best.
‘The Americans’ Rewards Every Rewatch
What truly makes The Americans worth revisiting is how much it gains from a second — or even third — viewing. On the surface, it delivers all the hallmarks of a gripping spy thriller: disguises, covert missions, and high-stakes tension. Beneath that lies one of the most powerful family dramas ever put on television. While the espionage elements are undeniably entertaining, it’s the deeply emotional moments that stay with you, elevated by some of the most compelling performances of the modern TV era.
Russell and Rhys deliver career-defining work as Elizabeth and Philip, portraying them as fully realized, deeply conflicted individuals. Their relationship is the emotional core of the series, and it becomes even more fascinating on a rewatch when the trajectory of their story is already clear. Russell brings a steely intensity to Elizabeth, while Rhys gives Philip a vulnerability that grows more central with each season. Just as important is the writing, led by creators Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg, which consistently prioritizes character over spectacle and builds naturally on what makes the show work.
Even years after its finale, The Americans remains one of the most complete and satisfying dramas of its era. What makes it such a great rewatch isn’t just its slow-burn pacing or meticulous storytelling, but how much more intentional everything feels the second time around. With standout performances and a narrative that rewards close attention, it’s the kind of series that doesn’t just hold up on a rewatch — it genuinely improves with one, making each return feel just as gripping as the first.

Gerard Butler’s 117-Minute Adventure Is Scratching the ‘Indiana Jones’ Itch on Free Streaming
After the $650 million blockbuster success of the live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake, Hollywood favorite Gerard Butler is set to reprise his role as Stoick the Vast in the June 2027 sequel. Alongside several returning favorites, Butler will be joined by Cate Blanchett in Universal Pictures’ sequel, as she reprises her role as Valka Haddock from the animated movies. Butler’s place in this beloved franchise is cemented, and it isn’t the only famous series he’s been an active part of.
In 2003, Butler starred alongside Angelina Jolie in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life, a sequel to the 2001 movie that adapted the beloved video game series. Directing duties were passed from the first film’s Simon West to Jan de Bont for the sequel, which is de Bont’s last directorial effort to date. Alas, the film proved a disappointment to fans and critics alike, earning just 44% from the former and 24% from the latter on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The consensus on the site reads, “Though the sequel is an improvement over the first movie, it’s still lacking in thrills.”
At the box office, the film proved just as underwhelming, scoring just $157 million in global revenue against a reported $90 million budget. This is especially disappointing considering the $273 million earned by the first installment, which itself boasted a similar production budget. Nevertheless, almost 23 years later, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life is proving a surprise hit on a free streaming platform. At the time of writing, the film is one of the ten most-streamed on Tubi in the U.S.

Sadly, production recently hit a slight delay when it was confirmed that Turner sustained a minor injury during filming.

New The Real Housewives of Rhode Island star Kelsey Swanson is addressing the claim she was once a sex worker.
“Had to comment on this one — never have been an escort,” Swanson wrote in the comments section of a Saturday, April 4, Instagram post claiming the upcoming reality TV star charged $2,900 for “dinner and dessert.”
“Pages were completely made up 10 years ago,” she added. “State police were involved. Thanks for sharing tho.”
The now-debunked post, shared by Housewives fan page @mrhousewives, featured alleged “screenshots” of Swanson “promoting herself as an escort.”
Bravo The Real Housewives of Rhode Island is officially here — but who makes up the cast? News broke at BravoCon in November 2025 when Andy Cohen confirmed that the premiere season will follow Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Ashley Iaconetti, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson and Jo-Ellen Tiberi as they navigate the highs and […]
“The screenshots are dated 2016 — so exactly 10 years ago — and Kelsey was going by the name Alexia Lins,” the caption reads. “In the posts, she describes herself as ‘sexy, classy, and elegant,’ offering to fulfill fantasies and even mentioning she was open to try new things.”
The post continued, “Now let’s talk about the pricing… the maximum listed was $2,900 for five hours (plus ‘dessert’), and the minimum was $500 for a one-hour ‘introduction.’ So yes.. She was making MONEY. Allegedly. The website has since been taken down — but screenshots? They live forever.”
While the post appeared to be intended to shame Swanson, many fans praised her in the comments section — regardless of the validity of the allegations.
“Honestly good for her!!! She’s hot and she better get [t]hose coins!” one fan wrote. “Haters gonna hate while she’s busy staying fabulous. Absolutely love her.”
“In this economy, $20 is $20,” another commented.
“S** work is real work,” another wrote, “it’s only illegal because they can’t tax it.”
During last year’s November BravoCon, Andy Cohen confirmed that the premiere season of the upcoming Bravo reality TV series will follow Swanson — alongside Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Ashley Iaconetti, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli and Jo-Ellen Tiberi — as she navigates the highs and lows of Rhode Island’s close-knit social scene.
“They may live in the smallest state in the country, but their drama? Extra large,” read a press release from the network. “As The Real Housewives hits its milestone 20th anniversary next year, Bravo is expanding the distinguished franchise with The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, spotlighting a fresh, charismatic group of women whose lives intertwine across the storied coastline of New England luxury.”
Swanson, for her part, is a former Miss Rhode Island who “keeps a full plate as one of the state’s top makeup artists,” according to a press release.
“Kelsey has been in a 10-year relationship with one of Rhode Island’s most notable figures,” the release read, “enjoying the lap of luxury while keeping her social calendar full.”
While season 1 of the show will feature nearly all brand-new faces, The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Dolores Catania will be joining the cast as a friend.
Prince Harry took a star-studded selfie with Olympian Eileen Gu and Justin Trudeau while enjoying a recent trip to the ski slopes.
Gu, 22, was all smiles as she posed with the British royal, 41, and the former Canadian Prime Minister, 54, on a ski lift in an epic selfie that she shared as part of an Instagram carousel on Saturday, April 4.
Another photo showcased the freestyle skier with Trudeau and his girlfriend Katy Perry in front of a cozy cabin. It is not clear where these photos were taken, but Gu captioned her photo dump, “this week.”
Harry has been spending some time on the ski slopes with his family this week. On Thursday, April 4, his wife, Meghan Markle, posted a glimpse of Harry skiing with their son, Prince Archie, 6. (Harry and Markle also share a daughter Princess Lilibet, 4.)

The clip featured Harry leading the way down the slopes, with Archie effortlessly following along at an impressive pace.
“My boys,” Markle, 44, captioned the video. “Quick learner, Archie! So proud ❤️.”
Harry is a lifelong skier, having frequently gone on trips to icy locales with his late mother, Princess Diana, as a child.
Meanwhile, three-time Olympic gold medalist Gu recently returned from the 2026 Winter Games in Milan and Cortina, Italy, where she took home gold once again in the halfpipe event.
(Gu also won two silver medals for the big air and slopestyle competitions in Milan and Cortina. She was born and raised in the U.S. but chooses to compete for China in international competitions to honor her heritage.)
Freestyle skier Eileen Gu is a five-time Olympic medalist, making her the most decorated athlete at her sport in the history of the games. That means she doesn’t have time for reporters to belittle her accomplishments. After earning a silver medal in the women’s freeski slopestyle on Monday, February 16, she met with the media, […]
Following her huge success at the 2026 Winter Games, Gu celebrated becoming the most accomplished freestyle skier in Olympics history.
“I’m the most decorated freeskier of all time, male or female,” she told reporters on February 22. “I have the most gold medals ever, male or female. That’s a testament to competitive strength, it’s mental strength. It’s being able to perform under pressure, it has nothing to [do with] if you’re a boy or a girl.”
This year’s Winter Games came at a tumultuous time for the skier. Gu announced at an Olympics press conference in Milan and Cortina that her grandmother, Feng Guozhen, died shortly after the freestyle event.
“She was a really big part of my life growing up, and someone I looked up to immensely. She was a fighter,” Gu explained. “And I think what’s so interesting is that a lot of people just cruise through life, but she was a steamship. This woman commanded life, and she grabbed it by the reins, and she made it into what she wanted it to be. And she inspired me so much.”
Gu revealed that she’d made her grandmother a special promise the last time they saw each other.
China’s Eileen Gu is sharing an update on her personal life after winning her second straight freeski halfpipe gold medal at the 2026 Olympics. “The reason I was late is that I just found out that my grandma passed away,” Gu, 22, said during a press conference on Sunday, February 22, while becoming emotional. “She […]
“The last time I saw her before I came to the Olympics, she was very sick, so I knew that this was a possibility,” she said. “I didn’t promise her that I was going to win, but I did promise her that I was going to be brave, like she has been brave, and that’s why I keep referring to this theme of betting on myself and being brave and taking risks. It actually goes back to that promise that I made my grandma.”
Gu added, “I’m really happy that I was able to uphold that and hopefully do her proud, but it’s also a really difficult time for me now.”
The Olympian subsequently shared a carousel of photos of herself with her late grandmother via Instagram, writing, “Because I promised her I would be brave like her. I love you grandma.”
Some movies never really leave the culture. They just wait for the right moment to come back around. That’s what’s happening with The Devil Wears Prada, which is once again pulling in streaming viewers as the long-awaited sequel gets closer. Nearly 20 years later, the movie still feels sharp, funny, and endlessly quotable, which makes this comeback feel less like a surprise and more like a reminder.
The original film has been doing strong business on Disney’s streaming ecosystem just as The Devil Wears Prada 2 ramps up its own publicity ahead of its theatrical release. That overlap is pretty much perfect. The sequel buzz is doing part of the work, but the original movie is also earning its own fresh attention because people still genuinely love it.
The cast includes Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel. It’s still one of the cleanest examples of a movie growing bigger with time. Ahead of the sequel, streaming viewers are returning to The Devil Wears Prada for exactly the same reasons they fell for it in the first place.
Remembering the Icons of Film — Collider Movie Quiz
We pay tribute to the talents who helped define Hollywood.
Is ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ Worth Watching?
Roger Ebert‘s review stated that The Devil Wears Prada works best as a fun, glossy career story with two very strong leads. The movie follows Andy, a recent graduate who lands a job at a major fashion magazine and quickly gets pulled into a world that is demanding, exhausting, and impossible to ignore. It is not especially deep, but it is entertaining and easy to get caught up in. The film is stylish, sharp, and full of small moments that make the fashion world feel both ridiculous and exciting. The biggest weakness is that some of the supporting relationships are less convincing, especially Andy’s love life, which does not feel as strong as the rest of the story.
“Meryl Streep is indeed poised and imperious as Miranda, and Anne Hathaway is a great beauty (Ella Enchanted, Brokeback Mountain) who makes a convincing career girl. I liked Stanley Tucci, too, as Nigel, the magazine’s fashion director, who is kind and observant despite being a careerist slave. But I thought the movie should have reversed the roles played by [Adrian] Grenier and [Simon] Baker. Grenier comes across not like the old boyfriend but like the slick New York writer, and Baker seems the embodiment of Midwestern sincerity, which makes sense, because he is from Australia, the Midwest of the southern hemisphere.”
