Beyond the Gates delivers drama as Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) is about to get caught in a trap and made to look just as bad as Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). By the end of the week, Dani Dupree’s (Karla Mosley) husband, Andre, is likely spotted with another woman. Of course, that’s crazy Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones).

And this, of course, will thrill Bill, who would no longer be the only cheater in Dani’s life. And I think he may find it out from Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom), who is having someone follow Heather. We’re going to talk about Bill getting hold of this info. And how it may be used to shade Andre to his own benefit. Unless, of course, Joey has another use for the info.

Beyond the Gates: Joey Tailing Heather

So, right now, Joey is very suspicious of his sister, Heather. Has her constantly tailed. Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry). And some more henchmen are following her everywhere. So, despite Andre being sneaky when he went to meet Heather, I doubt it’s going to stay secret for very long at all.

So, she’s the one who sent the champagne to Dani and Andre. It’s clear that Heather is hellbent on getting Andre back into her bed. And that won’t be easy for a few reasons. First, there’s Andre’s deep love for Dani. And of course, Andre has no plans to ever cheat on his wife.

But another huge reason he’s not planning to hop in the sack with Heather is. Because he’s totally terrified of her. That cop that Andre talked to overseas warned him, “Run away from Heather.” He said, “She’s dangerous, bloodthirsty, not to be underestimated.”

So, very smartly, Andre took off. The third reason is Heather is the sister of Joey Armstrong, one of the most dangerous and notorious men in the DMV. So, there’s red flags and warning signs to stay away from Heather. But I don’t see her taking no for an answer.

Dani in Danger on BTG

And Beyond the Gates spoilers hint that she soon makes a threat against Dani. So, by the end of this week, it looks like Andre is meeting with Heather again, and she makes that threat. She’s got a selfie of her and Dani with Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli).

And I’m certain that Heather took that photo so that she can show it to Andre to make her threat very clear. I know who your wife is. I will hurt Dani if you don’t do what I want. I’ve already gotten this close to her. Andre is a guy who desperately loves his wife.

And this week, he’s got to go back to see Heather and that’s when she makes a threat. And then Andre is going to make a threat back. They don’t realize somebody has followed them. So, Randy has his eye on Heather at the end of the week and I suspect that he’s going to be the one to spot Andre with her.

Randy Reports to Joey on Beyond the Gates

And from there, I think Randy will immediately make a call and report to Joey and says, “You won’t believe who’s with Heather right now. Dani’s husband, Andre.” We might even have Randy getting close enough to snap some photos of them together. Maybe some video them standing close, touching each other, maybe Heather kissing him again.

And then of course, Joey, who wants to know every move his devious sister Heather’s making, can decide what to do with this info. Joey’s trying to keep an eye on Heather to protect his business and to protect Vanessa from horrible Heather. So, Andre isn’t really Joey’s main focus or his main problem at this point.

However, I think there’s a chance that Joey could take the info to Bill. Because he and Joey are thick as thieves these days and Bill would love to discredit Andre and those two just had an almost heart stopping showdown up at the hospital. So, if Joey delivers dirt on Dani’s husband to Bill, of course, he’ll be thrilled. And I’m sure that he’d be selfish and would be thinking, “How can this benefit me?” He denied wanting Dani back when talking to Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) and others in recent episodes. But I don’t believe him, not one bit.

Beyond the Gates: Heather’s Threat and Joey’s Options

So, he may actually tell Dani about this, hoping to split her and Andre up. And Bill might be plotting to comfort Dani after this reveal. And yes, Andre is lying about his stalker. But that’s to protect Dani, not to hurt her. I suspect it’s all going to come out, though. She might be upset and honestly assume the worst of Andre. Because of her terrible past with Bill. And then Dani might snap and confess her own cheating with Bill and tell her husband. Or, you know, Bill might tell Andre himself just to make sure that Dani and Andre do break up.

And if Bill asks who’s the woman, I’m curious to see if Joey will admit it’s his sister or if he says, “I don’t know, some random chick.” The thing is if there are photos and Dani sees them, she’ll immediately recognize Heather. And Dani might even think that Joey is somehow involved in setting her up.

And Vanessa might grill Joey, who I think would tell her mostly the truth. You know, my sister Heather’s ruthless as I told you, and she goes after whatever she wants, even another woman’s husband. At the same time all this is going on, Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings) may make one last attempt on Bill’s life. And if Danny hears Bill almost died again on the heels of her suspecting Andre is being unfaithful, that could honestly kind of change everything in their marriage.

Joey Ticked at Heather on BTG

So, right now, Joey is really annoyed that Heather is sliding in close to Vanessa and now Heather’s getting close to Dani and Joey’s already suspicious and he wants Vanessa to have her guard up. But unfortunately she likes Heather. So, the good thing is that this stunt with Heather stalking Andre might actually convince Vanessa to listen to him and stay away from Heather.

And Joey could even show Vanessa the evidence from Randy and he could tell her, “Look, I had him tailing her and he caught Andre and Heather together.” And of course, Vanessa would be horrified and she would not want Dani heartbroken again. I am hoping that Joey shows Vanessa first. But I suspect he might take it to Bill instead.

Bill’s Plan Blows Up in His Face

Also, if Dani’s ex-husband gives her proof that Andre is allegedly cheating, I think all the Duprees would be mad at Bill. I could see Vernon, Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie), Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit), all of them suspecting that Bill’s motives are to break up Dani and Andre for his own selfish reasons.

And honestly, Dani would have to be crazy to go back to Bill even if she walked in on Andre cheating. Because one cheater doesn’t absolve another cheater. And I don’t think Andre would willingly sleep with Heather. But if it’s a choice of Andre having relations with her or Heather harming or killing Dani, I think that’s the choice he would make to protect her.

Andre knows cheating would devastate Dani. But he might feel trapped and genuinely terrified for her safety. What would be interesting is if Joey somehow intervenes and uses Heather’s affection for Andre to trap his sister and make threats against her and try and run her out of town once and for all. And I’m sure that Andre would rather help Joey and be bait for him than go willingly into Heather’s bed.

Beyond the Gates: Andre Turns to Joey for Help?

And in fact, Andre might even approach Joey looking for help with his sister. Because Heather said she and Joey aren’t that close. So, I could see Andre looking at Joey as the lesser of the two evils and trying to cut some kind of deal. And you never know, Joey might cut a deal with Andre if it’ll help him deal with Heather once and for all.

You know, Joey might task Andre with getting close to Heather, finding out what she’s planning so that he can stop her. Because she might already have people planted in Joey’s organization and he might offer Andre a win-win of them working together to take down Heather and get rid of her.

How it goes from here totally depends on whether Randy gets photos or video and what Joey does with the information once Randy brings it back to him. Heather is straight up terrifying and she needs to go and Joey might have to deal with her sooner rather than later.

Hayden Panettiere’s mother, Lesley Vogel, is speaking publicly about her daughter’s death for the first time, and she is directing some of her strongest words toward the actress’ on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson. Vogel reflected on the pressure Panettiere experienced after entering the entertainment industry as an infant, while acknowledging that her daughter had struggled to find a healthier path.

She also said she takes comfort in believing Panettiere has reunited with her younger brother, Jansen, who died in 2023. “I think Hayden was an amazingly talented person in so many departments and I think young people who grow up in the entertainment industry, it is a struggle and it’s a very challenging industry and it’s not unusual for them to sadly find the wrong path,” Vogel told NBC News.

Panettiere died Sunday, August 16, at the age of 36 after being found unresponsive inside a residence in Greenville, South Carolina. As her family continues processing the loss, Vogel said she finds some solace in imagining her two children together again.

Jansen Panettiere died at 28 in February 2023 due to cardiomegaly and aortic valve complications. “I just feel that she’s with her brother and they’re at peace,” Vogel said.

Panettiere had been open about the profound grief she experienced following her younger brother’s death. Now, her mother is using that close relationship to find comfort amid another devastating loss.

Vogel’s statement also addressed the challenges that followed Panettiere throughout her life, including growing up onscreen, addiction and the family conflicts described in her recently released memoir.

Hayden Panettiere’s Mom Blasts Brian Hickerson

Vogel also criticized Hickerson, who was reportedly at the residence where Panettiere died. “This person in her life that we have been trying to get rid of for quite some time was with her at her death, and that was Brian Hickerson,” Vogel said.

The statement makes clear that Vogel and other members of Panettiere’s family objected to Hickerson’s continued presence in the actress’ life. However, authorities have not accused Hickerson of causing her death or announced any finding of foul play.

According to a Greenville City Police Department incident report, officials spoke with Hickerson and his brother, Zach, at the scene. The responding officer documented their behavior while emergency personnel attempted to revive Panettiere.

“After EMS officially declared Hayden deceased, I escorted Zach and Brian out of the apartment,” the police report stated. “I observed Zach to be very emotional while EMS were working on Hayden. Brian did not become emotional until EMS declared her officially deceased.”

The officer’s account describes the behavior witnessed at the residence but does not allege criminal conduct by either man.

Hayden And Her Mother Were Estranged Before Her Death

5

Vogel’s statement comes after months of public tension surrounding her relationship with Panettiere. In her May 2026 memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” the actress discussed how Vogel’s roles as her mother and manager became increasingly difficult to separate.

Panettiere began acting at just 8 months old, with Vogel managing her career throughout much of her childhood. As she grew older, the actress said their relationship became dominated by professional responsibilities instead of a traditional mother-daughter dynamic.

“Everything was business,” Panettiere recalled during a May appearance on “On Purpose with Jay Shetty.” “I became the confidant and the assistant and the therapist and the shoulder to cry on and everything but her child.”

Panettiere said she attempted to change the relationship at age 19 while working on “Heroes.” “I said to her, ‘I don’t want us to work together anymore. I just want you to be my mom,’ ” she recalled.

According to Panettiere, Vogel responded, “You owe me.”

The Actress Said The Rift Was A ‘Tough Pill To Swallow’

5

Panettiere explained that she entered the conversation hoping ending their professional arrangement would allow them to rebuild their personal bond. “I remember being hopeful,” she said.

The actress later described the outcome as “disappointing,” believing her mother’s response referred to money. “The fact that she didn’t care to have a relationship with me was a tough pill to swallow,” Panettiere added.

Vogel publicly challenged that version of events when the memoir was released and confirmed that the two women were no longer speaking. She suggested that “the present drama is partially to sell books” and said she had chosen to end contact after “20 years of trauma.”

“As many parents of entertainment children [know], we are all too familiar with the painful observation of watching the self-destructive paths they sometimes choose. No parent hopes for this scenario; we want our children to be the best of themselves and live a peaceful, joyful life!” Vogel said. “Sadly, this is out of our control. You cannot save someone who does not want to be saved.”

Vogel concluded her earlier statement by expressing hope that Panettiere would eventually “find her path to inner peace.”

Hayden Panettiere’s Cause Of Death Remains Unknown

5

Emergency services responded Sunday to a report of an “unresponsive female” who was later identified as Panettiere. First responders reportedly attempted to resuscitate the “Nashville” star using “advanced cardiac life support,” including CPR, medication, breathing tubes and monitoring of her heart rhythm. Panettiere was pronounced dead after paramedics were unable to revive her.

Dispatch audio from the emergency response included references to an “overdose” and “cardiac arrest.” However, an official cause of death has not been released. Authorities have confirmed that the investigation is continuing.

“The case is under investigation by the Greenville Police Department in conjunction with the Greenville County Coroner’s Office,” officials said in a statement. “The preliminary investigation has not indicated any signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances. An acquaintance of Ms. Panettiere placed the 911 call.”

Panettiere is survived by her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, whom she welcomed in December 2014 with former boxer Wladimir Klitschko, whom she separated from in 2018. Kaya subsequently relocated to Ukraine to live with her father while the actress confronted postpartum depression and alcohol and opioid addiction.

2026 has already been a banner year for Marvel Studios, with massive new releases on the big and small screen. Marvel has unleashed several successful Disney Plus shows, like Wonder Man and Daredevil: Born Again, but after news broke last week that the studio is scaling back on live-action content, fans can expect more animated shows like X-Men ‘97 going forward. Marvel, in collaboration with Sony, has found extraordinary box office success with the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has already put together over $2 billion at the global box office in less than three weeks. This box office success is expected to continue later in the year with the premiere of Avengers: Doomsday, which is already outpacing Tom Holland’s fourth solo Spider-Man movie in ticket pre-sales.

While fans have been pleased with Marvel’s output in theaters and on Disney Plus this year, Marvel Comics fans have also had plenty to be excited about. This afternoon, Marvel gave comic readers even more to look forward to later this year by announcing a new five-issue series, Incursions, which will harken back to the advent of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić’s original Secret Wars, revealing untold battles from the Marvel multiverse’s final days. The series will begin with X-Men: Incursions #1 by Alex Paknadel and Jim Towne and continue with Spider-Man: Incursions #1 from Christos Gage. The third issue in the series will be Fantastic Four: Incursions #1 from Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan, and Paco Medina, with the penultimate issue coming in X-Men ‘92: Incursions #1 by Chris Yost and Craig Kyle. Closing things out for Marvel’s new Incursions storyline, at least for now, is Avengers: Incursions #1 by Al Ewing and Fran Mariscal Mancilla.

What Are Marvel’s New ‘Incursions’ Comics About?

Marvel’s official description of the new five-issue Incursions series reads as follows: “In each one-shot, worlds from Marvel history collide, with only one left standing. Fans will journey across a wide range of universes from Marvel storytelling, including classic eras, alternate timelines and beloved media adaptations. It was the catastrophe that led to the end of both the Ultimate and Marvel Universes and birthed the conflict known as Secret Wars, but not every story of those dark days has been told!” The first chapter in the new Incursions storyline, centering around the X-Men, will be released in November 2026. The second and third issues for Spider-Man and The Fantastic Four will hit shelves in December 2026, with the final two issues for X-Men ‘92 and The Avengers arriving early next year, in January 2027.

One of the most iconic video games based on The Simpsons could be making a comeback. Since the hit TV show debuted in 1989, numerous video games have featured the Springfield family and other iconic characters. So, with The Simpsons Movie making a return in 2027, will the same happen for this notable gaming title? The Simpsons: Hit & Run was a 2003 game often described as “The Simpsons meets Grand Theft Auto.” In it, you play as different Simpsons characters, taking on various missions across Springfield, and it is still being played to this day through physical copies and mods. Since its release, The Simpsons: Hit & Run has been praised, earning a 78 critic score and an 8.5 user score on Metacritic. Now, over two decades later, the game could make its return.

The D23 Expo held a The Simpsons: Stories from Springfield panel, where creator Matt Groening and the show’s staff spoke about the long-running TV series. During the Q&A session, a fan asked whether The Simpsons: Hit & Run would release a sequel, since The Simpsons Movie was also making a comeback. In response, Groening teased that it could return, saying that the “original game is coming back in some form,” but showrunner Matt Selman chimed in with “or not,” in case things changed. After that response, the rest of the panelists talked about The Simpsons’ success with recent collaborations like Fortnite and Monopoly GO, and joked that The Simpsons collab was what’s “keeping Fortnite going.”

Other Video Games Based on ‘The Simpsons’

The Simpsons: Hit & Run was one of many video games based on this media franchise, and the last one was released in 2021. The first video game based on The Simpsons was Bart vs. the Space Mutants, released in 1991 for numerous consoles, including the NES, Sega Genesis, Atari ST, and Commodore 64. In this game, players play as Bart Simpson, whose goal is to stop the aliens from taking over the world. In 2007, Electronic Arts released The Simpsons Game, which was available on Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and DS, and PSP/2/3.

Although it was released the same year as The Simpsons Movie, it was not based on the film. Instead, it told an original story that followed The Simpsons, who, thanks to Bart, learn that they have superpowers. At first, they were using them for their own gain, but when aliens Kang and Kodos decide to invade Earth, the family teams up to save their planet. The most recent Simpsons video game was The Simpsons Arcade, an arcade game released in August 2021; before that was The Simpsons: Tapped Out, a city-building mobile game released in 2012 and developed by EA Mobile, but it was shut down in January 2025.

The Simpsons is available to stream on Disney+.​​​​​​​ Stay tuned at Collider for more.

Blueface‘s pregnant girlfriend, Nevaeh Akira, went into labor as the rapper was dropping off Chrisean Rock at the airport on Monday, August 17. Blueface and Rock were on a livestream when he received a call from Akira, and his fans are roasting the rapper over the drama.

 Nevaeh Akira Goes Into Labor During Blueface’s Livestream With Chrisean Rock

Blueface’s girlfriend Nevaeh Akira went into labor during a livestream as the artist took Chrisean Rock to the airport. Rock was seemingly in Los Angeles to attend Akira’s baby shower, and Blueface received a call from the expectant mother as the rapper drove Rock to the airport.

Akira told Blueface that she was having contractions every two minutes.

“I’m in labor,” Akira said. “I’m by myself.”

“My baby mama in labor right now,” he said. “I’m canceling all of my plans for tonight. I was supposed to go with Dean and A.B., and I was supposed to go to the studio with The Game in Los Angeles…. It looks like I will be spending my time in the hospital. You guys wanna come? She’s in labor right now.”

Blueface is later seen arriving at the hospital, to a seemingly relieved Akira.

Akira’s baby is Blueface’s fourth child. He also shares two children with Jaidyn Alexis: a son, Javaughn Porter, and a daughter, Journey Porter. In addition, the rapper also shares a son, Chrisean Jr. Porter, with Rock.

Fans React To Livestream

After Live Bitez shared the footage on Instagram, the ‘Daddy’ rapper was dragged by fans for his messy situation.

User @dee.asche wrote, “This really some clown ass sh*t 😂😂😂 wth.”

@thesekidsauntie added, “May a situation like this never find me. Ameen🤲🏾.”

@shaydaplugg noted, “So Chrisean couldn’t get her own ride to the airport he just HAD to drop her off 😂.”

User @dischickluvsdanfl joked, “Imagine Chrisean showing up at the hospital to pick up Blue🥴.”

@snardon31 added, “That’s a hurtful thing! He’s gone pay for how he treats people!!!!”

@leadbyexample2024 shared some advice for Akira. “Andddddd it will get WORSE!!!! Ma’am…. Have ya baby and run for good !!! 👍🏼.”

User @ms_fashionista5 added, “She needs to run. 😢 He’s gaslighting the f*ck out of her even while in labor. He really doesn’t care abt here.”

@ added, “This has got to be the saddest pregnancy ever.”

User @i_choose_me01 congratulated Blueface for doing the bare minimum. “At least he cancelled his plans and made it before the baby was born.”

Labor Comes Just After Rock Seen Fighting Outside Of Akira’s Baby Shower

Chrisean Rock was caught fighting outside of the Jungle Hollywood nightclub at 1640 N. Cahuenga Blvd in Los Angeles on Monday evening. Text over a video clip shared on TikTok claims that the woman Rock was fighting is a friend of Akira’s.

Rock is sporting a red sweatshirt and gray shorts in a video, while the woman is wearing a dress. The woman seems to take a swing and hit Rock on the head. Afterward, Rock returns the favor and slams the woman against a car as Blueface encourages the fight.

Jen Affleck has had a lot of major changes in her life in recent years. Now pregnant with her fourth child, she’s gearing up for her debut on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County,” a spinoff of the wildly popular show that follows MomTok members in Utah. 

In a candid interview with The Blast, Affleck reveals what drew her to a recent brand partnership with Quest Nutrition, how she’s navigating her fourth pregnancy, what’s helped her the most throughout her prenatal depression, and what’s dividing the cast of the new spinoff.

The “Mormon Wives” star recently announced her fourth pregnancy, so what better time to partner with Quest Nutrition to make sure she’s hitting her protein goals?  For any busy parents, Quest offers the perfect on-the-go snacks for those times when hunger strikes. 

“It’s been one of my favorite protein bars honestly for the longest time. I feel like I’ve used their products throughout my life, and especially during this pregnancy,” Affleck told The Blast exclusively. “They came out with new snacks, such as the dill pickle protein chips, and it’s so funny because I don’t even really like pickle flavored stuff but for some reason with this pregnancy, I have been craving pickle flavored stuff.” 

She said she’s been “addicted” to it and loves that they are 19 grams of protein and are filling. 

“I feel like they’ve been my go-to treat while still getting all the benefits of the protein and fiber, so they’ve been saving my life this pregnancy,” she said. “I don’t leave the house without a Quest bar. I swear I am always on the go and I almost have four kids now so my life is really, really crazy.”

Jen Affleck Recently Opened Up About Her Prenatal Depression Struggles

Affleck was open about the prenatal depression she experienced with her third pregnancy and since it circled back around during her fourth pregnancy, she recently shared her experience online with her followers. 

“Prenatal depression was rough this time. It’s been honestly hard with every pregnancy, but especially this time, just because so much was happening with moving to a new state,” she told The Blast. “Honestly not having a break since before ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ Jumping into ‘Dancing with the Stars’ I was freshly postpartum so there is a lot.”

What’s Worked Best For The ‘Mormon Wives’ Star

Affleck shared that while therapy and stepping outside to take a walk has helped her through some rough times, there has been one thing that really helped her out the most. 

“I think the biggest difference for me has been having support from people who you love and people you trust. I’ve spent a lot of my life feeling like I couldn’t because in a way, I’ve always felt like I was a burden,” she shared.

“But if anything, I feel like it’s the best thing that you could do for yourself, and in doing so, you are benefitting other people, such as your children, your family, your friends. And so that’s been, I think, the difference between this pregnancy and others.” 

From The Early Days Of MomTok To Now

Affleck’s life has shifted drastically since the early days of MomTok to now, which means she’s had a lot of adjustments to make as her platform continues to grow.

“There have been a lot of adjustments happening lately. Even just moving to California has been a huge change. I’ve been living in Utah for the past 15 years of my life, so moving to California was a huge step, a huge transition,” she said. “There have been hard parts but it’s been honestly super great.”

She added that while there have been some really difficult parts to this journey, it’s been “the best thing to ever happen.” 

Moving From Utah To OC: Jen Affleck Is Part Of The ‘Mormon Wives’ Spinoff

Affleck recently made the move from Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” to the new spinoff, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County.” Moving from Utah to California has been a “huge transition” as well as joining a new group with a totally different dynamic.

“It’s just a different group and with each group, there is going to be different personalities, different needs, and I guess the biggest difference I would say is the dynamic between a lot of the girls,” Affleck shared. “I don’t want to spoil anything, but there is pretty much a huge divide within the group when it comes to religion.”

She added that while the OG MomTok girls had “a lot of differences,” everyone was on the “same page with a lot of beliefs and a lot of things.” That’s one of the biggest differences for Affleck moving from one group to the other. 

Jordyn Woods knew exactly what she wanted when her NBA champion partner, Karl-Anthony Towns, proposed to her in December 2025. The pair began dating in May 2020, and over the years, have spoken openly about how their relationship developed into something romantic after years of friendship.

3

Speaking with Vogue, Towns reflected on his proposal to the fashion influencer in December 2025. He told the outlet that Woods, 28, had one fashion rule for the New York Knicks star, and it had everything to do with her hair.

“None of us had any clue,” Woods shared. “But Karl kept asking if I’d had my hair done.” Towns said Woods always told him that if he ever proposed, he would need to make sure her hair was done.

Woods, however, had a feeling that something special was coming. “I’m a very intuitive person, so my antenna was up,” she said. “I wore a white dress that I had, and the proposal was very personal. I tend to be very shy, and he knew exactly what was perfect.”

Celebrities Were Freaking Out Over Towns’ Proposal To Jordyn Woods

Woods and Towns’ engagement broke the internet last year, according to The Blast. Social media pictures showed the New York Knicks star getting down on one knee and popping the big question.

Celebrities loved the special moment, including WNBA All-Star Angel Reese and MTV staple Kamie Crawford. Woods’ years-long best friend, Kylie Jenner, also commented, followed by supermodel Bella Hadid and R&B singer Chloe Bailey.

Woods was overcome with emotion following the special moment, thanking everybody for their support in a separate Instagram post. “I’m overwhelmed with all of the kind messages, love you guys!!!!” she wrote.

Jordyn Woods Loves Everything About Her Engagement Ring

Elsewhere during Woods and Towns’ joint interview with Vogue, the two superstars revealed more about the engagement, including Woods’ ring, which the 7-foot athlete designed himself.

“I originally wanted a totally different cut,” Woods said. “But he went with an emerald-cut diamond. Now I can’t imagine having anything else.”

Woods’ flashy diamond features pink diamonds down the band and has both of their deceased parents’ birthstones alongside theirs on each side. On the inside, the ring says, “I love you, my heart,” in Spanish, written in Towns’ handwriting. “The ring looks like a glacier on her finger,” he said.

More About Towns And Woods

Towns and Woods began dating in 2020 after several years of friendship. Woods previously said their relationship was founded on “trust,” noting that they’ve seen each other through some of the most challenging times of their lives.

In April 2026, Towns opened up about their bond after winning his first NBA championship, saying Woods’ presence in his life helped power him past the finish line.

“You always pray you’re going to pick the right woman for you, and I know I did in my fiancée,” he said. “It’s crazy, when she passed, there was so much turmoil in my life. Funny enough, my fiancée was the one who was a friend at the time, was the only person I got to call before I had to go out there and say bye to her at the hospital.”

Woods Had Three Gowns For Her Fairytale Wedding

Woods and Towns recently married on Saturday, August 15. In a behind-the-scenes video with Vogue, Woods detailed her three wedding gowns, designed by Danielle Frankel.

The first gown, which Woods wore for the ceremony, was a strapless silk gown with lace detailing and a lace neck scarf. “The design intention was there from the beginning and the get-go,” Frankel said before Woods added, “She was adamant about that being smooth in the stomach area and getting the ruching perfect. And you have to let the artist be the artist.”

Woods’ second gown was a strapless lace skirt, which Frankel said came about by accident. “I asked Jordyn to just lift one side so I could see what was going on under the dress,” she said. “And as she was holding it here, the gown draped so beautifully. I said, ‘Hold it there.’ We pinned it in place, and that’s literally what happened.”

The third and final dress was a silk column dress with a low back and silk scarf. “All of the hard work, all of the seamstress, Danielle, the creativity, it’s just, one, so inspiring,” Woods said.

Taylor Sheridan isn’t exactly short on shows made for binging on television, but one in particular has managed to carve out its own corner of his increasingly enormous empire. An A-list actor, an icon, in fact as a fish out of water in the middle of one of the most unlikely crime hubs in the United States, mixed with perhaps Sheridan’s funniest work, and you get a show that Paramount+ is extremely confident in.

Paramount+ EVP and Head of Originals Jane Wiseman has been talking in glowing terms about the upcoming fourth season of Tulsa King, and has described what she’s seen as “incredible”. What’s more, she’s teased some surprises for the show’s cast and said fans won’t have to wait much longer.

“We’re about to announce the premiere date for Tulsa King Season 4, that one is coming out,” Wiseman told Deadline. “It’s an incredible season. Sly [Stallone] is in great form in the show, and there’s going to be some surprises. But that show is continuing.”

That final comment is particularly interesting. While Paramount+ has yet to formally announce Tulsa King Season 5, Wiseman’s declaration that the show is “continuing” certainly suggests Season 4 isn’t being approached as Dwight’s farewell.

Gretchen Mol (Boardwalk Empire) joins the series as Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician who will have a major role in Season 4, whileEden Leewill recur as a new character named Maya. Behind the scenes,Terence Winter, whose previous credits includeThe SopranosandBoardwalk Empire, returns as head writer at Stallone’s request. Season 4 will consist of10 episodes.

The franchise itself is also about to become considerably larger. Frisco King, a new spinoff starring Samuel L. Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr., began filming in March 2026 after Jackson introduced the character during Tulsa KingSeason 3. Sheridan is writing every episode of the spinoff.
