Southern Hospitality star Bradley Carter is explaining why he thinks fans shouldn’t sleep on a potential new season of the hit Bravo show.

“The cameras have not been rolling but the vibe is we’re in a better place than where we were,” Bradley, 29, exclusively told Us on Saturday, August 22, at his “Body by Brad” Keep It Moving workout tour at The Point in El Segundo, California.

“I feel like the cast is coming together,” he continued. “Some people are still on the outside and some are on the inside. Hopefully we get a season 5 so you can find out.”

A bonafide hidden gem in the Bravosphere, Southern Hospitality‘s future has been up in the air amid ongoing rumors the cast is navigating a potentially extensive shakeup and a possible restructuring that could exclude Southern Charm alum Leva Bonaparte and her Charleston, South Carolina, hotspot Republic Garden & Lounge.

Just because Vanderpump Rules is revamping doesn’t mean reality TV viewers should stop raising their glasses high. While viewers spent 11 seasons watching Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz and more cast members transform from restaurant workers at SUR to reality TV royalty, Bravo recently confirmed season 12 will feature a brand-new cast from Lisa Vanderpump’s […]

While Carter can’t dish on all the details, he did explain to Us that fans should be “hopeful” that season 5 is on the way — eventually.

“I think we should be hopeful,” he said. “I can say that. I definitely think we should be hopeful. I think that there’s a lot more going on than you guys know. I cannot confirm this season 5, but I’m not going to say that it’s off the table.”

He continued, “We have a lot going on in Charleston, and hopefully you guys can smell this.”

The series, which premiered in November 22 as a Southern Charm spinoff, originally featured Leva and her employees Joe Bradley, TJ Dinch, Mia Alario, Emmy Sharrett, Grace Lilly, Maddi Reese, Will Kulp, Lucia Pena, Mikel Simmons alongside Bradley.

As several cast members have explored various business ventures away from the show’s featured restaurant, questions have continued to swirl regarding who will or will not return for a possible season 5 — if one is truly in the works.

Bradley spoke to Us about his fellow cast members taking advantage of various opportunities outside of the show, explaining that growing and evolving is part of Charleston’s culture.

“One thing about Charleston is it’s a food and bev scene, and the community is really driven on people that live there and want to be there,” he said. “And you know, I have a lot of friends growing that are a part of the cast, that are my friends, and it’s cool to see Joe step into a new opportunity over at the Uptown Hospitality Group. It’s cool to see TJ getting ready to open his own brick and mortar. I’m opening my own gym here soon, so there’s lots of different things that are happening and I’m excited for people to continue to grow.”

He added, “I mean, we’re not just kids on a TV show, you know? We’re in our late 20s and our early 30s, still trying to figure it out. As you get to see that grow and really take that next step, it’s cool to see.”

Nicolas Cage is expected to reprise his beloved role of rogue historian Benjamin Gates in another installment of National Treasure.

Director Jon Turteltaub confirmed on Friday, August 21, that National Treasure 3 is moving forward, telling the “National Treasure Hunt” podcast at a live event that “it’s happening.”

“I have not said anything before this, but you deserve to have the scoop,” he said, per The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Turteltaub explained that the audience was “the first people I have said this out loud to” in public. The director, however, shared that there could be hurdles the crew has to face before filming.

“It’s finally real. Now, it’s Hollywood real, meaning things could happen,” he said. “Nic gets hit by a bus, there’s no National Treasure 3. If I get hit by a bus, there’s probably a National Treasure 3. Welcome to Hollywood.”

Turteltaub claimed that an already-written screenplay has been approved by him and Disney, noting that “to whatever extent we can, everyone’s back.”

National Treasure follows treasure hunter and cryptographer Benjamin (Cage), who uncovers a plot to steal the Declaration of Independence — but no one at the FBI believed him. Benjamin then decided to protect the document by stealing it.

In 2007, Cage returned as Benjamin alongside Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha, Jon Voight and Harvey Keitel. Cage explained at the time that he decided to pursue the sequel because he felt it met his standard of being “at least as good” as the initial film.

“I wanted to make sure that we could go in a direction that would raise the stakes, and also hopefully be more interesting,” Cage said of the sequel during a 2007 press conference. “They said, ‘We have to ratchet it up from stealing the Declaration of Independence, so we thought you should kidnap the president of the United States.’ … I got nervous. Then, I started thinking about it, and I started laughing, and I realized that that was the joy of it — that it was funny and it was absurd.”

After the sequel’s release, Disney+ debuted a spinoff series titled National Treasure: Edge of History in 2022. The show centered around a new set of characters and was led by Jess Valenzuela (Lisette Olivera). Two years later, Cage shut down rumors that National Treasure 3 would be happening.

“No, there is no National Treasure 3,” Cage said in a 2024 interview with Screen Rant. “Here we go! See, you’re the one that brings these things up and they go out and they eclipse everything else. No, there is no National Treasure 3. If you want to find treasure, don’t look at Disney, OK? It’s not there.”

A 1-hour, 36-minute crime story on Netflix is currently trending globally, and it’s mainly because the entire plot is based on a bizarre real-life 2009 incident. A woman from Mexico named Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza had a miscarriage. Then another, followed by a third one, which led her to become extremely vulnerable to outside pressure — so much so that the lady went on to fake a completed pregnancy despite having a miscarriage four months in.

But that’s not the worst part. Mendoza, who worked at a hospital, said she had a deal with another woman to take her child instead. And on the day this child was born, she went to the hospital, placed her baby in a gift bag, and took it. This wild true story has immediately translated into one of Netflix’s strongest international debuts of the week. The film only arrived on August 13, and in TUDUM’s Top 10 Non-English movies between August 10 and August 16, the film currently sits at the #2 spot with 5.1 million views and 8.2 million hours of watch time. The only non-English title above it is the Brazilian crime sequel Nando Between Two Worlds – A Sintonia Film, which ranks higher with 11.1 million views.

The film is titled A Child of My Own, and it follows the complete story of Mendoza and all its nuances. The baby’s mother, Mayra Aurora Navarro Vega, denied ever agreeing to give up her daughter, while hospital records, paperwork found with Mendoza, and surveillance footage supported her account. Mendoza’s husband, Arturo Calderón Gamiño, who had no knowledge of the incident, spent over two years in jail for the events, but was ultimately acquitted having become involved only after the fact. In the film A Child of My Own, Luisa Guzmán plays Vega, Armando Espitia plays Gamiño, and Ana Celeste plays Mendoza.

What Else Is Trending on Netflix’s Non-English Movies Chart?

A Child of My Own immediately outranked Elize: Shadows of a Woman, which was already in its fourth week in the Top 10, but now sits in the third spot. Bollywood film Cocktail 2, which stars Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, sits at number four, with the heart-wrenching tear-jerker Pakistan-India partition story Main Vaapas Aaunga by Imtiaz Ali (Rockstar) at number five. The sixth spot belongs to My Best Friend, His Girlfriend and Me; Daddy’s in Trouble is sitting at number seven; and fellow four-week holdover, The Debt Collector, is at number eight. At number nine, there’s Idhayam Murali, with a steamy romance titled Desire rounding out the Top 10 with 1.5 million views.

A Child of My Own is based on a true story, and is available to stream on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Former first lady Laura Bush is enjoying the final throes of summer with her daughters and granddaughters in tow.

“I can see us lost in the memory August slipped away into a moment in time,” Laura’s daughter Jenna Bush Hager wrote via Instagram on Sunday, August 23, quoting Taylor Swift’s “August” lyrics and sharing a sweet multigenerational portrait from a recent family getaway.

In the pic, Laura, 79, sported a casual blue button-down and khaki trousers as she stood next to Jenna, 44, and her daughters, Poppy, 13, and Mila, 10. (In addition to her daughters, Jenna and husband Henry Hager share son Hal, 6.)

The crew were joined by Jenna’s twin sister, Barbara Bush, and her 4-year-old daughter, Cora. (Barbara, 44, and husband Craig Coyne later welcomed son Edward in 2024.)

Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush’s parenting styles have been heavily influenced by their own parents, George W. Bush and Laura Bush. “I would say it was sort of, like, the laissez-faire parenting of the ‘80s and ‘90s,” Barbara, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly of her and Jenna’s childhood with the former President and First […]

Laura’s husband, George W. Bush, served as the United States president from 2001 to 2009. Jenna and Barbara were teenagers during their dad’s two-term tenure in the White House.

“I would say it was sort of, like, the laissez-faire parenting of the ‘80s and ‘90s,” Barbara exclusively told Us in March 2025 of the twin sisters’ pre-White House childhood. “Our parents were very around, but we had a lot of freedom in terms of playing outside and exploring our neighborhood and just kind of being out and about in a, obviously, safe way. It was before cell phones and before the constant connection and communication that we all have now.”

After George left the Oval Office, he watched his daughters find love and eventually become parents themselves.

While speaking with Us last year, Barbara revealed that she wanted to “emulate” her parents’ lessons with her own kids “as much as we can.”

As for Jenna, she told Us that the siblings’ parenting styles were “pretty similar” to George, 80, and Laura’s experience.

“They tried to make the world creative and magical for us. And when you’re really little, the world is magical,” the Today cohost recalled of the president and first lady. “So, it’s both parents being part of their kids’ lives, but it’s also parents getting kid energy, putting down their phones and seeing what they see because it’s hilarious and it’s fun.”

Jenna continued at the time, “Yes, parents can show the kids the magic of the world, but also, and probably more importantly, parents can see through their kids’ eyes some of the magic. And that’s in a world that feels like it can be sometimes dark and difficult and hard, it’s so much fun just to choose that type of fun that comes through seeing the world through your kids’ eyes.”

“Chicago Fire” has added American actor Matthew Daddario to the cast of its upcoming season.

The addition comes after another newbie, Da’Vinchi, teased Daddario in a photo shared on Instagram earlier in the week.

The extent of his involvement in the upcoming season remains unknown, but it appears that the “Shadowhunters” star will play a firefighter candidate, as suggested by the image shared by Da’Vinchi.

“Chicago Fire” has thrilled fans for years and is heading into its 15th season, set to premiere in October.

For the latest installment, Matthew Daddario will join the cast, as seen in a teaser image shared by “All American” alum Da’Vinchi, whose addition to the series was announced months ago.

Taking to Instagram, Da’Vinchi shared a photo of himself, Daddario, and another actor sitting in front of a fire truck, accompanied by three fire emojis.

He did not share any details about Daddario’s role, but the actor appears set to play one of the firefighter candidates, given the outfit he wore in the photo.

‘Chicago Fire’ Fans Welcome Matthew Daddario With Open Arms

Fans warmly welcomed the image featuring Daddario, with many taking to the comments to express their excitement about his addition to the show.

“Omg Mathew Daddario as a fireman, my new obsession,” one wrote, while another commented, “When does the season start so I know when to clock in?”

“I’ve never taken a peek at this show, but I guarantee you I will now… cause whew,” another user gushed.

One more individual remarked, “Can’t wait for this,” while another added jokingly, “Come rescue me.”

“Patiently waiting [for] what you have been cooking up,” someone else said, referencing the upcoming season.

Dermot Mulroney Exits ‘Chicago Fire’ After Three Seasons

Making his exit from the franchise is Dermot Mulroney, whose character will wrap up his storyline in the upcoming season.

Unlike other series regulars, Mulroney joined the show in Season 13, meaning his character lasted for only three seasons.

Despite the relatively short stint, the actor is satisfied with his time on the Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television show.

“Loved every minute of it. Became friends with this incredible crew of people,” Mulroney said during an appearance at Flashback Weekend Chicago Horror Convention earlier this month.

“They wrote an incredible storyline that put me as an actor on a high challenge,” he added. “I loved every minute of it. Sad to see it go.”

Andrea Newman Exits ‘Chicago Fire’ After 14 Years

Meanwhile, Season 15 will not include Andrea Newman, who has been with the show since its inception.

She initially served as a co-executive producer for five seasons before becoming executive producer in the sixth season and eventually becoming the sole showrunner for the last three seasons.

“Working at Chicago Fire, with the absolute best cast and crew in the business, has been the highlight of my career,” Newman said of her time on the show in a statement.

She also thanked her executive colleagues at Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television for their collaboration and support over the years.

“After 14 years, you really do become a family, and working with this group will always feel like home,” the showrunner further noted.

‘Chicago Fire’ Season 15 Teases A Dangerous Fate For Rescue Squad 3

Season 14 ended on a major cliffhanger, with members of Rescue Squad 3, including lead actor Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney), trapped inside a burning building.

Fans will have to wait until Season 15 premieres in October to find out what happens to the team. However, Miranda Rae Mayo, who plays Kidd, previously hinted in a May 2026 interview that viewers should prepare for the worst.

Speaking to TV Insider at the time, Mayo warned that “nobody’s safe.” Building on her claim, the actress said that even if everyone survives the disaster, some firefighters may be left with permanent injuries that prevent them from working actively.

“Maybe we’ll still be on the show, but who knows if we’ll still be on shift,” she also remarked.

Walter White is heading to the big screen.

Breaking Bad will make a special return to theaters on September 7, 2026, as Alamo Drafthouse celebrates “Breaking Bad Day” with one-night-only interactive screenings of the acclaimed Season 4 finale, “Face Off.”

The event, presented in partnership with Sony Pictures Television, will take place across 15 U.S. markets and give fans a rare opportunity to experience one of the most memorable episodes of Breaking Bad on the big screen.

September 7 wasn’t chosen randomly. The date is Walter White’s birthday and is also the date on which the events of the Breaking Bad pilot begin, making it an unofficial annual celebration for fans of the series.

Admission to the event is free with the purchase of a $10 food and beverage voucher, which can be redeemed during the screening. The voucher is also refundable at the event.

This won’t be a traditional screening, either.

Fans attending the event will receive Breaking Bad-themed collectibles, including a Heisenberg hat, blue rock candy, Hector Salamanca’s bell and a Gus Fring half-face mask. A live host dressed in a yellow protective suit will guide audiences through the interactive experience, including encouraging fans to ring their bells alongside Hector during the episode.

The event will also include a costume contest, giving fans another reason to break out their best Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, Saul Goodman or Los Pollos Hermanos-inspired looks.

“Face Off” originally aired in 2011 and serves as the explosive conclusion to Breaking Bad Season 4. The episode brings the escalating conflict between Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) to its unforgettable conclusion.

The theatrical screenings are scheduled for Alamo Drafthouse locations across markets including New York, Los Angeles, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, the Washington D.C. area, Denver, Laredo, Omaha, Northern Virginia, Raleigh, the San Francisco Bay Area, St. Louis and Springfield.

Created by Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad premiered in 2008 and ran for five seasons before concluding in 2013. The series starred Cranston alongside Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk and Esposito and has remained one of television’s most celebrated dramas more than a decade after its finale.

For fans who have only experienced Walter White’s world at home, September 7 will offer a very different way to revisit one of the defining moments of the series.

It’s time to cook again.

If there’s one thing that can single-handedly carry your wardrobe from summer into fall, it’s a great pair of jeans. They’re substantial enough to make a breezy summer top feel a little more autumn-ready, but they don’t require you to commit to sweaters, coats and boots before the weather actually cooperates, either. Basically, when you’re stuck in that awkward in-between period, jeans are the wardrobe MVP.

The best part? Once temperatures finally drop, your favorite denim is already ready for the job. Pair a straight-leg style with a cozy sweater, tuck a tee into a wide-leg pair with loafers or throw a jacket over your favorite ankle jeans for an easy everyday outfit. These 10 pairs from J.Jill make a strong case for refreshing your denim drawer now — because the right jeans can be the foundation for pretty much every fall outfit you’ll want to wear.

10 Effortless Summer-to-Fall Jeans From J.Jill

1. Fringe Benefits: A little fringe goes a long way. These high-rise kick-flare jeans are made with supersoft stretch-denim fabric that feels easy enough for all-day wear. A subtle fringed hem gives the classic silhouette a fresh update that’s still easy to style!

2. Denim, Elevated: These aren’t your average wide-leg jeans. The dark wash and trouser-inspired silhouette give this pair a polished look, while a luxe cotton, Tencel, Lyocell and silk blend is drapey and soft against the skin. Slip on a blazer and loafers for a sophisticated office outfit, or keep things casual with a simple tee.

3. Wide-Leg Wonder: This best-selling wide-leg pair makes a convincing case for adding them to your fall rotation. The relaxed shape has plenty of room without veering into overly baggy territory, and the cotton-stretch denim blended with Tencel is soft for long days. Consider them an easy upgrade from your everyday straight-leg jeans.

4. Classic Cut: When in doubt, go straight-leg. This classic silhouette runs straight from your hip to the hem, creating a sleek foundation for just about any fall outfit. It’s a comfortable pair, thanks to the below-the-waist rise and cotton-stretch denim — and the full-length design can be cuffed when you want to show off your favorite shoes.

5. Artisanal Touch: A neutral jean is super versatile, and this creamy shade makes a particularly pretty case for branching out. The softly flecked texture gives the cotton-spandex pair a boutique feel, and the polished straight-leg fit keeps it looking refined. Try it with a lightweight sweater and loafers for an outfit that feels instantly ready for fall.

6. Desk-to-Dinner Denim: Who says jeans can’t be polished enough for plans after work? This full-length, wide-leg pair feels more refined than some other pairs — almost like a pair of trousers. The cotton-Tencel denim fabric has a soft drape, creating a sophisticated silhouette that can handle a day at the office before heading straight to dinner.

7. Long-Leg Look: The easiest way to make your legs look miles long? A good pair of flares. These modern jeans fit securely through the waist and hips, then subtly flare out at the knee, immediately lengthening the look of your leg. Wear them from daytime errands to evening plans without a second thought.

8. Statement Denim: Ready to venture beyond your standard straight leg? This barrel-leg pair brings some personality to your denim drawer with a curved silhouette that’s relaxed through the thigh, then tapers off at the ankle. It’s made with a less stretchy, vintage-inspired denim fabric that gets even prettier with each wear and wash.

9. Slim & Streamlined: If you love a slim jean but don’t want to feel squeezed into it, this best-selling pair could be your sweet spot. It has a tailored, slim-leg silhouette that skims right from your hip to your ankle without a hint of constriction. The ankle-length silhouette also makes it easy to show off ballet flats now and boots once fall is in full swing.

10. Boyfriend, Refined: Classic boyfriend jeans get a slightly more polished makeover in this slimming silhouette. They’re relaxed enough to be comfy all day, and you can wear the hem cuffed for a more casual look or leave it loose for an effortless, elevated finish. Pair them with a crisp button-down now, then swap in a cozy sweater when the temperatures finally drop.

Andrew Garfield hasn’t lost his wit or sense of humor, even though he’s been working non-stop on back-to-back film projects, including the fantasy-adventure film The Magic Faraway Tree.

In a recent interview, the actor won the internet over with a hilarious breakdown of Gen Z’s favorite viral phrase, “aura farming.”

Garfield has been quite his expressive self in recent media appearances, including one where he opened up about craving a quiet life away from Hollywood and his addiction to his secret Instagram account.

Andrew Garfield proved he’s very much in touch with the younger generation when he gave a funny explanation of the internet-popular catchphrase “aura farming.”

He and costar Claire Foy put their honesty to the test on Vanity Fair‘s Lie Detector Test, where they asked each other questions about their personal lives and careers, among other topics.

At some point, Foy asked him if he was “aura farming,” and he said yes before adding that he thought they were both doing it. Going on to explain the phrase, Garfield said it means that anytime someone makes a public appearance, they’re aura farming.

“It’s like what Gen-Zers are saying. Aura farming is like when you wanna look cool in front of the world. And you wear clothes that look cool, and you put on, like, a nice hat,” he noted.

Seemingly confused by his explanation, the actress laughingly echoed, “a nice hat,” before Garfield went further to vividly describe what it meant.

“Yeah, a nice hat. You came to a wedding in, like, 1994. Yeah, this is like the millennial version of aura farming. Put on a nice hat,” he continued. “You walk outside and you have a jaunty, you have a jaunty stroll around lower Manhattan with a cane and a monocle.”

Garfield Reacts To His Viral ‘Slutty’ Look Breaking The Internet

The Amazing Spider-Man star was commenting on the internet’s NSFW reaction to his “slutty” look at the 2025 Golden Globes. At the time, Garfield went viral for leaving his shirt slightly unbuttoned and wearing chic glasses.

“Did reactions online surprise you?” Foy asked, to which he replied, “Yes, they did.”

As he’d previously explained in an interview with MTV journalist Josh Horowitz, the Hacksaw Ridge actor said all he did was put on his glasses and try to adjust his shirt, as he thought he was already showing too much skin.

However, he added that many thought it was “sl-tty” and “everyone responded as if I was trying to f-ck them.”

He was then called out for exhibiting signs of “deception” after Foy asked him whether he “intentionally wanted to thirst-trap audiences.”

He admitted, saying, “maybe retrospectively, there might’ve been some unconscious desire to seduce.”

Andrew Garfield Opens Up About His Secret Instagram Addiction

In much the same way, the 43-year-old actor has been quite outgoing and expressive in several media appearances.

During a recent interview with Variety, he opened up about his addiction to his phone via his secret Instagram account, where he scrolls through videos of ceramics and Japanese craftspeople.

“I’m as addicted as anybody. My screen time notifications are horrific. It’s like, I’ve given all of those hours to nothing,” he said.

“It’s genuinely enraging because we don’t have as much control over these impulses as we should, and it’s been by design. It’s pretty dark when you look at it,” the actor added.

Andrew Garfield Opens Up About Breaking His Phone Addiction

Commenting on steps he tries to adopt to fight his addiction, Garfield noted he sometimes gets the impulse to “smash” his phone like many others do, or even toss it into the sea “because we know it’s taking our lives from us in some way.”

“I’m not better than anybody else. I’ve been told, and I find it to be true, that if you leave your phone in another room, that does a lot of the heavy lifting. As soon as it’s in the room, you’re kind of f-cked,” he continued.

Social media and technology are at the heart of his new film The Magic Faraway Tree, where he and Foy play a couple, Tim and Polly, who uproot their urban family life and tech-dependent kids to relocate to a farm in the country.

When asked whether phones were banned on set, he noted that the film’s intention “wasn’t to damn technology,” but to have a “healthier relationship” with it.

Garfield Reflects On Technology’s Impact On Human Connection

4

During an appearance on The Today Show, Garfield reflected on how he has been taking an introspective look at his philosophy of life.

He explained that the question of how to live a balanced life has been on his mind, especially when he considers the many technological advancements that not only make life convenient but also create a “tension between us being able to be really connected to our true selves.”

According to him, new technologies are posing a stumbling block to our connections “with each other” and “to all this beautiful nature that surrounds us.”

“How are we doing the job that we’re supposed to do, which I believe is [to] be the custodians of our planet?” he asked. “How do we take care of our planet in the way that we are meant to as conscious beings on this planet? And I feel like there’s tension there. It’s a tension I’m very, very curious about.”

Jay Leno is requesting that the New Hampshire courts recognize his wife, Mavis Leno‘s, conservatorship, so he can sell property they own together.

Mavis was diagnosed with advanced dementia in 2024, and the popular comedian, as her husband and primary caretaker, was made the conservator of her estate the very same year.

Taking care of Mavis Leno as she battles dementia has since become a priority for Jay Leno, who remains committed to staying by her side and fulfilling the vows he made when they got married.

According to My News LA, Leno’s attorneys notified the New Hampshire court that he planned to file for “registration and recognition of foreign guardianship.”

The purpose is to register the conservatorship there, which would allow him to sell “certain real estate” located in the New England region.

Leno hopes they recognize the already existing legal arrangement rather than create a new conservatorship for Mavis.

The estate in question is reportedly owned by Leno and Mavis as community property. TMZ reports that the property is a two-bedroom and two-bathroom ranch built in 1995. The property was listed for sale in June of this year for under $400,000.

The New Hampshire court has not yet ruled on the matter.

5

Leno originally filed for a conservatorship of his wife’s estate in a Los Angeles court in January 2024, after Mavis was found to be suffering from dementia. His request was granted in April 2024.

According to NBC News, the petition stated that Mavis had “been progressively losing capacity and orientation to space and time for several years”.

Her condition made her unable to execute plans regarding her estate, so a court-appointed lawyer recommended that the court approve Leno’s petition, noting that his wife sometimes didn’t know “her husband, Jay, nor her date of birth.”

The couple’s long-term relationship made the petition necessary, so both could be protected, as their lives have been intertwined since they were married.

The conservatorship gave Leno full authority to handle his wife’s estate and financial affairs.

Jay Leno Continues To Perform His Role As Caretaker

Leno has since publicly discussed how the conservatorship agreement and his wife’s condition have changed their daily life.

In an interview with People Magazine last year, he described himself as Mavis’ caretaker and spoke about organizing his life around her needs.

For Leno, caring for Mavis has become an intrinsic part of his routine; he explains that the responsibility is just another aspect of being married.

He said, “When you get married, you sort of take a vow, ‘Will I live up to this? Or will I be like a sleazy guy if something happens to my wife, I’m out banging the cashier at the mini mart? No, I didn’t.”

“I enjoy the time with my wife. I go home, I cook dinner for her, watch TV, and it’s okay,” he added

5

Leno says that they do what they’ve always done and that his responsibilities may have increased, but he likes taking care of her, noting that she’s “a very independent woman” and likes being needed.

According to People, in his appearance on the “Life Above The Noise With Maria Shriver” podcast, Leno recalled how surprised people were because he remained with his wife through her ailment.

He said, “You take a vow when you get married, and people are stunned … they’re so shocked that you would live up to it.”

As far as the popular comedian is concerned, he and his wife are in it together.

For Jay Leno, Love Is All About Commitment: ‘I’m Glad I Didn’t Cut And Run’

5

The 76-year-old has been candid about the challenges of looking after someone in Mavis’ condition, but he remains committed to fulfilling his responsibility, as that is all love is.

In a report by Us Weekly, Leno revealed what it means to care for his wife. He said, “When you have to feed someone and change them and, you know, carry them to the bathroom and do all that kind of stuff every day, it’s a challenge.”

“At some point in my life, I’m gonna be called upon to defend myself,” he said. “And that’s what it is. I think that’s really what defines a marriage. I mean, that’s really what love is.”

Leno concluded, saying, “I’m glad I didn’t cut and run, and I’m glad I didn’t run off with some woman half my age or any of that silly nonsense, you know? I mean, I would rather be with her than doing something else.”
