Young and the Restless Next Week: Adam Suspects Victor Committed Murder!
Young and the Restless intense new spoilers for next week talk about Adam Newman‘s (Mark Grossman) concern because he thinks Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) might have killed somebody. And guess what? Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) also suspects Victor might have gone too far.
We have the latest Y&R spoilers for the week of February 9th, including some jealousy at the Abbott Mansion when Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) sees Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) doing something sketchy and Mariah Copeland‘s (Camryn Grimes) dodgy plans for Dominic Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark).
Nikki & Victoria Question Victor’s Fake Kidnapping Plot on Young and the Restless
All right, let’s start with Nikki’s hot take on Victor. So, as this week wraps up, Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) is very worried about what Victor has done with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and the twins. Nikki, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), and Adam Newman get an update on Mariah from him. Then, Victor assures his family that Lily agreed to this kidnapping plan.
Victoria doesn’t believe it because Lily is still salty about getting cheated on the Chancellor deal. Adam tells Victor he saw Cane and he looked really rattled. If you recall, Cane threatened Adam and said a Newman would get hurt if Lily or the kids are harmed.
Victoria and Nikki also want to know the exact terms of what Lily agreed to, but Victor won’t answer them, as usual. Nikki tells Victoria it’s ironic that Victor’s faking a kidnapping while his grandson Dominic is really kidnapped right now.
Nikki is not excusing Victor’s behavior, but as usual, she’s enabling it and justifying it, saying that she knows he’s trying to save his life’s work. They’re debating if Lily hates Cane more than she hates Victor and if that’s why she made the deal. They also worry that Cane may retaliate and things are going to get a lot worse. Nikki is quite worried they will lose everything because Cane may just decide, “Okay, I’m just gonna watch it all burn down.”
Diane Jenkins Catches Jack Abbott and Nikki Newman in an Intimate Moment
After talking to Victoria and stressing out at the end of this week, in next week’s Young and the Restless spoilers, Nikki heads over to the Abbott mansion to vent about her husband, Victor, to his ultimate enemy, Jack.
Do you guys remember when Victor walked into the living room of the new ranch a few weeks ago and he saw Jack hugging Nikki and comforting her? Victor went nuts, he threatened Jack. And he got really ticked off. We’re going to revisit that same dynamic, but it’s going to flip around.
Next week on Y&R, Nikki is really upset and she goes to see Jack and opens up to him. She tells him she’s really worried what Victor could do next. I’m guessing if Jack doesn’t already know, we’ll see Nikki telling Jack about Victor kidnapping Lily or her playing along and pretending to be kidnapped.
Nikki opens up to Jack and asks, “What if Victor goes so far that I can’t take it anymore?” Again, we’re going to see Jack comforting Nikki and he takes her in his arms for a hug. That’s right as Diane Jenkins starts to walk into the room and she sees them.
She does not like seeing Jack with his arms around his ex-wife Nikki. This is about to get ugly. This past week, Diane told Jack that she hates his closeness to Nikki almost as much as Victor hates it. Jack’s already been warned, but Nikki is back in his arms.
Claire Grace Newman Uncovers Audra Charles and Holden Novak’s Dirty LA Secret on Y&R
Meanwhile, we’re going to see more of Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) digging into Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) and Holden Novak’s (Nathan Owens) dirty LA secret next week. Cane told Holden to head to LA and oversee the private investigator who’s searching for Lily. Claire decides to tag along on this Los Angeles trip. I think she’s going to drop in on Sienna with some follow-up questions.


Mariah Copeland’s Dangerous Plan to Take Dominic Chancellor Out of the Country on Young and the Restless
All right, now let’s talk about Mariah and her unhinged plan to keep Dominic away from his parents, Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) and Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway). This week we had brand new GCPD detective Burrow meeting with them, Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks), and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). They were talking about what Mariah’s thinking and whether she is a danger to their son.
Next week on Young and the Restless, spoilers have Dominic and Mariah wearing matching trucker hats, sitting down for a meal in a little cheap-looking diner. They’re still on the run. Dominic asks Mariah why she won’t tell him where they’re going. She tells Dominic she’s taking him to the best hideout in the world.
Turns out Mariah is planning to take Dominic out of the country, which is incredibly scary news. Mariah is fully unhinged. If she gets Dominic out of the country, it is going to be harder for Abby and Devon to track them down.
But how exactly is Mariah going to do this? She may have a passport for herself, but I’m guessing she doesn’t have one for Dominic. We also know that very soon Burrow is on a private jet with Abby and Devon. And they are heading to try and stop Mariah from fleeing with their son.
Patty Williams Returns to Y&R as Crazy Patty Williams
Also related to this, there’s some big Young and the Restless casting news. Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) is coming back; she is Doug Williams’ sister. We haven’t seen her in 10 years.
She saved Ian Ward (Ray Wise) from certain death in that fire he started at Newman Tower. And she wanted to stay with him, but he sent Patty away. She and Ian bonded. And then she left. Patty was last seen when she had been remanded to a high-security psychiatric facility.
If you remember, she stabbed a doctor at Fairview. That’s the other mental hospital. I do suspect that they brought back Patty Williams as part of the Mariah and Ian storyline, but we’ll see. We’re going to talk about Patty more in the full weekly spoilers video and in the weekly predictions.
Adam Newman Fears Victor Newman Killed Cane Ashby on Young and the Restless
All right, now let’s get to the big one: Adam thinking that Victor has killed somebody. At the end of this week, Adam is telling Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) that Victor said he got Lily to agree to fake her and the twins’ kidnapping.
When Chelsea hears that Cane made threats against the family, she’s scared that Connor Newman (Judah Mackey) may be at risk and does not trust Victor to protect them. She tells Adam all of that. Meanwhile, Victor headed over to the “Cane train” so that he can push for him to give back Newman Enterprises to get Lily and the kids back.
But it’s not going to be that easy. Cane wanted proof of life. He wants to know that Victor actually has Lily and the twins and that they are safe. Cane vows if they’re not okay, he’s going to be out for Victor’s blood. We pick up with this conversation early next week.
Cabe in Bad Shape on Y&R
Victor is still on the Cane train. And I guess he calls Adam over because he walks in and Victor gestures to Cane lying there unconscious and says, “Look at that.” Adam is worried that Cane is dead and he starts to ask his dad about it, but Victor doesn’t answer right away.
I doubt that Cane is dead. We all know Billy Flynn is on contract, but I am wondering if Victor somehow drugged him, slipped something in his whiskey, or pulled some other kind of shady move to get physical control over Cane. Maybe he wants to buy time to get Lily to send a picture or something.
We’ll find out. Be sure to check out our full weekly spoilers video for all the action coming on Young and the Restless the week of February 9th through the 13th, plus our predictions and more coming soon.

Days of our Lives: Drugged Holly Spirals Out of Control in Violent Rampage!
Days of Our Lives reveals Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) was going to start acting like a real jerk because of scenes from the winter promo, and now we know why. Looks like Holly’s skin supplements were swapped with psycho pills, and it’s about to get super messy in Salem.
And just when you think Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) couldn’t stoop any lower, she goes and does it. Sophia is sabotaging Holly after pretending to be nice. And now Sophia is going to sit back and watch Holly’s life blow up.
Sophia Choi’s Dangerous Scheme at Bayview on Days of Our Lives
I don’t think the doctors and nurses are keeping a close enough eye on the patients at Bayview. Not only was Sophia sneaking out with a little aiding and abetting from Rachel Black (Alice Halsey), but Sophia’s also been stockpiling her psychiatric meds and now she’s about to set up Holly for a really bad fall.
We all knew that Sophia was looking to start trouble when she asked Dr. Kim Gregory (Kim Hawthorne) to invite Holly to come back over to Bayview again. Sophia was all wound up watching Arianna Hernandez Horton (Marissa Reyes) and Holly talk about their big plans for rush week, including morning smoothies and Holly’s supplements. This is hitting Sophia hard for a few reasons.
First, she really wanted to go to college, but her controlling mom, Amy Choi, wanted her to skip that degree, get married, and raise her baby with Tate Black (Leo Howard). Now that Trey’s been adopted out, it should have cleared the path for Sophia to pursue her education. But instead of being a college freshman with everybody else at Salem U, she’s stuck at Bayview.
The Root of the Rivalry: Sophia, Tate, and Holly’s History on DOOL
What’s likely not helping Sophia either is that she’s clearly not taking all of her prescribed medications since she had a whole pile of them to dump into Holly’s supplement bottle. The meds seem pretty strong based on the promo.
We all know Sophia’s been gunning for Holly ever since their junior year at Salem High because Sophia had this big crush on Tate and she thought he liked her. However, Tate and Holly were dating secretly and lying to everybody. Tate was leading Sophia on, and Holly was using Aaron Greene (Louis Tomeo) in the same way on Days of our Lives.
That was because Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Theresa Donovan (Emily O’Brien) didn’t want Tate dating Holly after she let him get arrested and blamed for her overdose. Holly Jonas was the one who was the party girl popping pills, and Tate was totally innocent. Yet Holly was going to let Tate go down for her mistake. Understandably, the parents didn’t want them together. When it all came out, Sophia was devastated to have been tricked and led on.
Sophia’s Diabolical Plan to Sabotage Holly on Days of Our Lives
Then Sophia actually got a shot with Tate, but he wasn’t over Holly, so that got messy fast. Then Sophia wound up pregnant. But now Tate and Holly are stronger than ever, and of course, Sophia hates that. Sophia hasn’t given up on the idea of taking Tate back from Holly.
First, Sophia needs to take Holly down and get her out of the way. Now Sophia’s got this diabolical new plan. Honestly, it seems just as bad as when she wore that fake baby bump and set up that false adoption scheme.
I think Dr. Kim Gregory may need some additional training because her psych patients are running circles around her. Dr. Gregory seems oblivious to them plotting and scheming. The shrink still doesn’t know that Sophia can really talk.
Even though Sophia tried to slap Holly on her last visit, as soon as Sophia asked for a redo, Dr. Gregory called to facilitate a second meeting. On the surface, it seemed to go smoothly, but Sophia has fooled Dr. Kim Gregory once again.


The Supplement Switcheroo and the Danger of Pilfered Meds
I kind of think Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is right and Rachel probably needs to be in a better psychiatric facility. Sophia certainly needs someplace with better security that keeps a better eye on patients because she is one sneaky chick. Once Sophia saw Ari and Holly’s video about Rush, Sophia’s wheels started turning.
After a fake apology to Holly and then asking for one in return, we saw Sophia accidentally push Holly’s bag to the floor, spilling everything out. Sophia got really lucky because Holly just happened to have her skin supplement bottle with her. That gave Sophia the chance to grab Holly’s bottle, hide it, and then fill it up with pilfered psych meds. This is not the first time Sophia has messed with Holly like this.
If you remember, Sophia got Holly really drunk—so bad she almost died in a dorm room candle fire. I’m sure Sophia is going to make sure Holly gets her bottle back. If Holly were smart, she’d throw away the supplements and get some new ones just because they were out of her hands, but we all know Sophia’s going to get away with it for a while.
Days of Our Lives Winter Promo: Holly Jonas’ Spiral
The long winter promo showed Tate getting really annoyed because Holly started yelling and chewing him out at the Brady Pub. Holly Jonas laid into Tate and said he thinks everything is perfect when it isn’t. Later, Ari was trying to get through to Holly, and that wasn’t going well either. Ari told Holly she’s acting differently, but that’s not going to stop her.
I’m guessing the pills that Sophia gave her are basically going to give Holly a really bad attitude adjustment. That, plus the pressure of doing Rush with Ari, is going to have everybody wondering what’s up with Holly. I don’t think anybody’s going to stop and think that Sophia drugged her. Holly may start acting erratically and irrationally.
Holly may even get rejected by the sororities if Sophia’s drugs make her act inappropriately at parties and events. So, Holly might even hook up with somebody else. Plus, most psych meds come with warning labels that say, “Do not take with alcohol.” I absolutely expect Ari and Holly to be drinking during rush, and that can make Sophia’s mental meds really drive Holly out of control.
Days of Our Lives February Sweeps: Will Rachel Expose Sophia?
This has me wondering what exactly is Sophia’s endgame. Is Sophia trying to sabotage Holly in general, or is she trying to push Holly over the edge so she winds up in Bayview also? Or even worse, that Holly overdoses like what happened to her before.
Whatever Sophia’s plan is, it involves breaking up Holly and Tate so that Sophia can have him back. Not that Tate wants her; Sophia is absolutely deluded if she thinks Tate will give her the time of day again.
Maybe Holly gets lucky and Rachel figures out that Sophia is pulling this medication supplement switcheroo and tells somebody. Maybe Rachel warns Tate or Holly. Either way, this awful train wreck of a situation is about to leave the station in Salem.
Since it’s February sweeps, we know things are about to get really rough on Holly. Holly is going to be acting out, lashing out, and getting angry when Tate and Ari call her out, with nobody having any clue that Sophia is to blame for all of it.

All The Deep Space Nine Easter Eggs In Star Trek: Starfleet Academy
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published

The latest episode of Starfleet Academy had one of its 32nd-century cadets researching a legendary 24th-century figure: Benjamin Sisko, the captain of Deep Space Nine. While the show’s broad humor threatened to drag things down, this episode succeeded as a love letter to Sisko and the man who played him, Avery Brooks. On a larger level, the episode also works as a tribute to Deep Space Nine, the best Star Trek show ever made.
Accordingly, the show threw out DS9 references with almost as much speed and ferocity as Sisko’s fastball. With everything going on (from bar fights to farting fish to literal glitter vomit), it’s easy to miss these cool callbacks. But we’ve got you covered: just keep reading to discover all of the Deep Space Nine Easter eggs you may have missed in this week’s episode of Starfleet Academy!
Baseball, Mitt, And Hat

At one point in her investigation, SAM enters the Sisko Museum, filled with notable artifacts from his life. One of the first things we see is a baseball and a baseball glove, included in the museum because Sisko was such a fan of this outdated American sport. Presumably, the ball in the museum is the same one that was originally given to Sisko by an alien recreation of Buck Bokai, a fictional baseball hero.
Sisko kept that same ball in his office on Deep Space Nine, and he frequently played with it during tense situations like an old-school fidget. At one point, he and his crew engaged in a disastrous baseball game against one of his old Starfleet Academy rivals, a Vulcan whose superior strength meant he was always destined to win. Still, Sisko’s squad came to enjoy the camaraderie of simply playing baseball together, and the museum also houses the hat he wore when leading his team, The Niners.
Typewriter And Glasses

One of the more surprising inclusions in Starfleet Academy’s Sisko Museum is a typewriter; this is a nod to “Far Beyond the Stars,” in which Sisko experiences visions of living as a sci-fi writer named Benny Russell in 1950s America. The episode portrayed Russell as a Black writer held back by the racism of his time period, but this doesn’t keep him from writing a story about a fictional space station, Deep Space Nine. The episode tells a powerful story about race and racism while provocatively suggesting that the entire show Star Trek fans have been watching might all be in the head of a forgotten ‘50s writer.
It’s interesting to see the typewriter (and Benny’s glasses) in the Sisko Museum, especially since it never seemed like the captain filed an official report about what Starfleet would have likely considered a mental break. But he may have confided about Benny to Dax, who was also present when another delusion nearly kept him from opening the Orb of the Emissary. Considering this episode’s revelation that the Dax symbiont is alive and well and teaching at the academy, the presence of the typewriter makes a lot more sense.
Anslem

In the most recent Starfleet Academy episode, the latest incarnation of Dax hands SAM Anslem, a book written by Jake Sisko. After opening the book, she interacts with what might be an intelligent hologram of the younger Sisko, or maybe he (being technically part-Prophet) simply transcended time and space. But what makes this book so special in the first place, and why was SAM so surprised to discover Jake finished it?
In the Deep Space Nine episode “The Muse,” young Jake comes under the influence of Onaya, an alien creature who feeds off creative energy; basically, she kills people, but only after unlocking their full potential. Under her influence, Jake begins Anslem, his first novel, but he doesn’t finish it because his father drives away Onaya. Deep Space Nine never revealed if Jake had finished Anslem in the main timeline, but Starfleet Academy confirmed that he secretly completed the book but decided against publishing it.
Orb Of The Emissary

When he was first stationed on Deep Space Nine, Benjamin Sisko was very skeptical about the Bajoran religion, but that all changed when their godlike Prophets (which he called wormhole aliens) selected him to become Space Jesus. After that, Sisko quickly learned about all the Bajoran beliefs, including the idea that the Prophets sent down special orbs to help guide and communicate with their chosen people. One of those was called the Orb of the Emissary and, in timey-wimey fashion, it held the Prophet that possessed Sisko’s mother and ensured that he was conceived.
When Sisko finds the orb and releases the Prophet, the powerful alien is able to cast out the evil pah-wraith inside the wormhole; this restores hope to the Bajoran people and makes the wormhole functional again. So, what we see in the Sisko Museum in Starfleet Academy isn’t just any orb. It’s the one that is tied to both the beginning of the Sisko and, ultimately, the end of the Dominion War, making it one of the coolest artifacts in the entire galaxy.
The Return Of Jake Sisko

Jake Sisko shows up in this episode of Starfleet Academy as an adult. He’s only a hologram, but an interactive one, so he talks SAM. Reprising the role is Cirroc Lofton, who also played Jake on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
The Return Of Dax

As mentioned previously, the Dax symbiote shows up on Starfleet Academy, in a new host called Illa Dax (played by Tawny Newsome). This Dax isn’t a Trill; she’s a Cardassian-Trill hybrid.

Travis Kelce Dances to Taylor Swift Song at 2026 Super Bowl Party
Travis Kelce heard Taylor Swift calling on the megaphone — and he couldn’t resist busting a move.
Kelce, 36, stepped out at the Sports Illustrated and Tight End University’s Tight Ends & Friends Presented by Cash App & VISA on Thursday, February 5, where he ventured into the DJ booth right when Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” began playing.
In now-viral social media footage, Kelce was spotted dancing and singing along to the track.
“The Fate of Ophelia,” named after the Hamlet heroine, was the first single off Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl when it was released in October 2025.
“My eyes scanned across ‘the fate of Ophelia’ [in my songwriting journal], I was like, ‘Wait, Ophelia drowned because Hamlet just messed with her head so much that she went crazy and she couldn’t take it any more and all these men were gaslighting her until she drowned,’” Swift, 36, said in her The Release Party of a Showgirl film screening. “What if the hook is that you saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia?”
Swift further explained that Kelce was “the reason [she] didn’t end up like this tragic, poetic heroine who passed away in a fictional story.”
Swift wrote and recorded The Life of a Showgirl during the European leg of her Eras Tour in 2024, chronicling her life between concerts as her relationship with Kelce blossomed. Swift and Kelce have been together since 2023, getting engaged two years later in August 2025.
Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end also seemingly inspired her Showgirl songs of “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Opalite,” “Eldest Daughter,” “Wood,” “Wish List” and “Honey.”

“It just feels different from anything we made before,” she explained in Release Party about making “Honey” with producers Max Martin and Shellback. “If someone calls you ‘honey’ sincerely, it turns out it’s awesome. It feels great. … Somebody coming into your life and repurposing those same exact words and turning them sweet and [realizing] how good that feels.”
In the months since Swift dropped Showgirl, she and Kelce settled into a domestic routine while he closed out his NFL season.
“They love cooking challenges and random deep dives on documentaries,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2025. “Taylor is always organizing something, and Travis likes video games and is always studying football games. They complement each other in that way.”
Swift has also made herself at home at Kelce’s Kansas City pad.
“They don’t have to worry as much about being incognito day-to-day,” a second insider told Us. “Travis is pretty beloved in Kansas City, so when he and Taylor go out to dinner at a restaurant, people will say hello [but] they don’t go out of their way to bother them. Travis is really personable and will give fans a smile and a pat on the back, and Taylor seems pretty comfortable, likely because Travis is so at home here.”
A third source, meanwhile, told Us that Swift and Kelce have already started thinking about their wedding plans.
“Taylor thinks it’s cute, and it’s something they have been bonding over,” the third source told Us in December 2025. “Taylor and Travis are both very excited about their next chapter.”

Sheriff Slams Ashleigh Banfield For ‘Reckless’ Reporting In Nancy Guthrie’s Disappearance

During a February 5 press briefing, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos called out podcast host Ashleigh Banfield for incorrectly claiming that Nancy Guthrie’s son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, is the prime suspect in her January 31 disappearance.
“We don’t have anybody here listed as a suspect,” Nanos said, per The Hollywood Reporter. “Nobody’s eliminated, but we just really don’t have enough to say, ‘This is our suspect, this is our guy, we know — or our gal.’”
“We don’t know that,” he continued. “And it’s really kind of reckless to report that someone is a suspect when they could very well be a victim.”
Sheriff Nanos also pleaded with the media moving forward to be “careful” with the information they put out regarding the case because it could be a hindrance.

“To the media, I plead with you to be careful of what it is we put out there, because we don’t have anybody here listed as a suspect, and you could actually be doing some damage to the case — but you can do some damage to that individual too. Social media is kind of an ugly world sometimes,” he said.

Ashleigh Banfield Doubles Down On Her Claims Regarding The Guthrie Case

In a statement sent to The Hollywood Reporter, the producer of Banfield’s podcast told the outlet that Banfield “stands by her reporting” and “her ironclad source.”
“They have towed Annie Guthrie’s car. And there is some connection to Annie Guthrie’s car and Nancy Guthrie’s son-in-law — that would be Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni, age 50 from Tucson, Arizona, married to Annie P. Guthrie, Savannah’s sister,” Banfield said. “And my law enforcement source tells me that Tommaso Cioni is the prime suspect in this case.”

“Again, law enforcement source tells me that Nancy Guthrie’s son-in-law, married to Annie Guthrie, Savannah’s sister, is — may be, may be a prime suspect in this case. At the very least, let me tamp that down, because sometimes it’s the first person you’re looking at, not ‘prime’ as in there’s no one else, OK? So, let’s be really mindful of that. Families are always looked at first as well.”

Police Have Stressed There Are ‘No Suspects’ As Investigation Continues

While speaking at the February 5 press briefing, Sheriff Nanos also shared the update that there are still “no suspects” in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
“At this time, we have not identified a suspect or a person of interest in this case,” Nanos, per Variety. “We are working our best to do that. To be clear: we have nobody of interest or any suspects that you would consider a prime suspect.”
“I have no clue where that comes from,” Nanos said. “We have been very consistent — we are not discussing that at all, whether it’s forced entry or not forced entry.”
Authorities Confirm Nancy’s Blood Was Found At The Crime Scene

Following earlier reports that blood was found at the scene of Nancy’s home and was being tested to determine who it belonged to, authorities identified a positive match.
According to PEOPLE, the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that the blood found on the exterior porch of Nancy’s home positively matches her DNA.
Nancy’s home was labeled a crime scene shortly after her disappearance, after police discovered what they described as “very concerning” conditions, and also that “no proof of life” had been determined.

A Reward Offered For Nancy’s Guthrie’s Return

On February 5, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, in conjunction with the FBI, announced a $50,000 reward for the return of Nancy Guthrie.
The reward is for any information regarding Nancy’s whereabouts and/or “the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance,” according to FBI Special Agent Heith Janke.
“The FBI has agents, analysts, and professional staff employees working day and night with our partners at the sheriff’s department,” Janke said during the press briefing. “We have deployed additional intelligence and agents from our Phoenix office.”

Meghan Markle’s Comfy Flare Pants Look Is on Amazon
Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
Pants styles are controversial these days, but we stand behind flare pants. Even Meghan Markle, the queen of timeless dressing, is on board, proving that the fun style is more than a fleeting trend. Luckily, we found a comfy version of her flare look — pants that double as jeans and yoga pants. Score!
Markle wore her black jeans to a film festival, styling them with a cashmere sweater and maxi coat. We’re copying the aesthetic for brunches, errands and date nights this season — heck, even casual Fridays at the office. These lookalike pants appear so similar, but are stretchy, forgiving and seriously flattering. Oh, and they cost $212 less!
Get the Rammus Crossover Jeans for $40 on Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.
Like Markle’s, these flare pants have classic denim detailing, real pockets and a rich black hue. But they differ around the waist; instead of a button, these pants have a flattering crossover design that tucks you in without squeezing. The cotton-and-elastane-blend material is soft like butter and flexible like leggings, so you’ll forget you’re even wearing ‘jeans.’
Better yet, these pants slim from every angle. In addition to the snatching crossover element, these pants boast a high waistband, lengthening side seams and angled back pockets that lift the bootie. The flare-ankle design also gives the illusion of leaner thighs.
Shoppers rave about these pants, including those who have tummies, curves, short torsos or some combination of the above. Many describe them as the most flattering and comfortable jeans they’ve ever worn. It’s no wonder fans come back for other colors!
One new mom shared, “My body changed completely after kids, with an apron belly that doesn’t fit into normal jeans. These are stretchy enough and easy to pull on. Very flattering. I’ve been living in stretch pants for years and these are the first pair of jeans I like.”
Another reviewer echoed the sentiment and wrote, “I think they’re slimming. They are so comfortable, even when sitting down. I stopped wearing jeans for over a decade because the waistband would dig in painfully in that position. These jeans solve that!”
So if you want Markle’s trendy flare jeans look without the buttons, stiffness or scratchy feel, these pants deliver. You’ll wear them from errands to dinner parties and garner compliments along the way.
These wear-everywhere pants should be much more expensive than they are, but we’re not complaining! For an even better deal, don’t forget to check the coupon box for a few bucks off. You’re welcome.

New Music Friday February 6: Taylor Swift, Nick Jonas, Charlie Puth, ZAYN, EJAE, Myles Smith, Niall Horan
Happy New Music Friday! The weekend is here, which means more streaming, new playlists and the best that music has to offer — and ET has you covered for everything in between.
Taylor Swift has released the music video for her new single, “Opalite.” She revealed that the idea for the video came after she was a guest on The Graham Norton Show and fellow guest Domhnall Gleeson made a joke about wanting to be in one of her music videos. Taylor said she instantly was struck with an idea and emailed a script to Domhnall one week later. She shared, “It was an absolute thrill to create this story and these characters, Shot on film. The Opalite video is out now on Spotify & Apple Music.” You can shop the new “Opalite” blue pearlescent vinyl, available to pre-order until February 6, 4pm PT.
Nick Jonas has released his new solo album, Sunday Best, which is his first solo project in nearly five years and showcases him in a deeply open and introspective chapter. Nick released the official music video for “Gut Punch” exploring the tension between self-perception and reality.
Charlie Puth released his new single “Cry” featuring Kenny G on saxophone. Charlie shared, “Cry is about allowing yourself to feel things fully. I grew up watching people I admire carry emotional weight quietly. This song is a reminder that expressing emotion is not weakness — it’s human, and sometimes it’s exactly what helps you grow.” ET spoke to Charlie Puth after the Super Bowl LX pregame press conference and teased his new album will feature the most collaborations he has done on an album. His new album, Whatever’s Clever!” is out March 27.
ZAYN has released his highly anticipated new single, “Die For Me,” off his upcoming fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, out April 17. This will be ZAYN’s most culturally inspired project to date. He also announced his largest tour to date, The Konnakol Tour, which kicks off May 12.
Ziggy Marley has released a new track, “Many Mourn For Bob,” a powerful tribute to the legacy of his father, Bob Marley. The new song accompanies the announcement of Ziggy’s upcoming new album, Brightside, out May 1. Ziggy released a moving music video featuring images from his childhood with his father. February 6 is Bob’s birthday and he would have turned 81.
