Fans didn’t expect to see Candice King and Steven Krueger find love years after finding fame in The Vampire Diaries universe.

King rose to fame playing Caroline Forbes on TVD from 2009 to 2017. Krueger, meanwhile, played the role of Josh Rosza in The Vampire Diaries spinoff, The Originals. During her time on The CW series, King started dating Joe King. The couple, who got married in 2014, expanded their family with daughters Florence in 2016 and Josephine in 2020.

Us Weekly broke the news in May 2022 that King filed for divorce from King. She later started spending time with Krueger at TVD fan conventions and cast reunions.

In December 2023, King subtly launched her romance with Krueger on social media when she uploaded a video that included a clip of them kissing. King and Krueger have since offered glimpses into their romance.

“I’ve been dating. I am going to say that out loud. That feels very personal and new and interesting and super cool and casual to say out loud. But I have,” King said on an episode of her “Superbloom” podcast. “Not multiple people — only one. And I don’t even want to get into it.”

King hinted she had a “really nice person” in her life, adding, “This is not brand new. This is the most you are going to hear me talk about it. It is good. There’s a smile on my face and joy in my heart.”

February 2026

King and Krueger tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on February 28, according to Vogue.

“Walking down the little aisle, I remember hearing the soft sounds of live guitar being played by a friend of a friend that we’d never met, the flowers making this tiny wooden chapel feel like a fairytale greenhouse, and the warm glow of light on Steven’s face,” she recalled to the outlet in April. “We’d already done a first look at our house, but walking down the aisle in that warm glow of the magic hour felt like our own little secret. Like the rest of the world kept turning in chaos, and we had this small little nook of the world to ourselves. Time slowed down and felt like a love song.”

UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma has issued an apology following a Final Four matchup against the University of South Carolina — but did not directly apologize to South Carolina coach Dawn Staley.

“There’s no excuse for how I handled the end of the game vs. South Carolina,” Auriemma said in a Saturday, April 4 statement shared via X. “It’s unlike what I do and what our standard is here at Connecticut.

He continued, “I want to apologize to the staff and the team at South Carolina. It was uncalled for in how I reacted. The story should be how well South Carolina played, and I don’t want my actions to detract from that. I’ve had a great relationship with their staff, and I sincerely want to apologize to them.”

After South Carolina defeated UConn, 62-48, in the Friday, April 3, Final Four game — ending UConn’s undefeated season — Auriemma approached Staley on the sideline and started talking to her in what originally seemed like the typical postgame interaction between coaches.

The NCAA women’s basketball Final Four game between the UConn Huskies and the South Carolina Gamecocks exploded into a fiery postgame moment when the two coaches met to shake hands after the game. UConn coach Geno Auriemma approached South Carolina coach Dawn Staley after the Gamecocks took down the Huskies, 62-48, on Friday, April 3, […]

The discussion quickly went south, as Auriemma, 72, seemed to say something that upset Staley, 55. She responded accordingly, and the two legendary coaches had to be separated and guided back to their respective locker rooms.

“I will beat Geno’s a**,” Staley allegedly said after the incident, according to a video on social media.

Auriemma’s apology on Saturday notably did not include a direct mention of Staley, but rather the South Carolina “staff and the team.”

The 12-time NCAA champion claimed the interaction stemmed from a pregame moment, where he suggested that Staley did not participate in the traditional pregame handshake. Videos from before the game did, however, show the two shaking hands on the sideline.

In his postgame comments, Auriemma added that he and Staley “don’t have a lot in common,” but did credit Staley for building South Carolina into a women’s basketball powerhouse, saying that he has a “tremendous amount of respect” for Staley.

“You can ask Geno the question,” Staley said. “He’s the one that initiated the conversation. I don’t want what happened there to dampen what we were able to accomplish today.”

​​Amy Duggar King has become one of the most vocal critics of cousin Joseph Duggar after his arrest on child molestation charges.

Joseph was arrested on March 18, 2026, for unlawful sexual activity with a minor after a 14-year-old girl accused the Counting On alum of molesting her in Florida in 2020. The victim told police that Joseph “eventually apologized for his actions” at the time and “the incidents stopped.”

Amy, for her part, told Us Weekly in a statement that she was “sickened, heartbroken and deeply angry” about the allegations.

“My first thoughts are with the victim, a child who deserved to be safe, protected and surrounded by people she could trust,” she said at the time. “The courage it took for her to come forward, especially after years of carrying something so heavy, cannot be overstated.”

Amy Duggar King was emotional to learn that her cousin Joseph Duggar’s wife, Kendra Duggar, had also been arrested. “I don’t know what’s going on, and our local news is saying that there’s more and there’s been someone else who’s been arrested,” Amy, 39, tearfully said in a Friday, March 20, video shared via her […]

Two days after Joseph’s arrest, his wife, Kendra Duggar, was arrested on four counts of child endangerment that were unrelated to his misconduct allegations. She was released on bond on March 20, 2026. Two weeks later, Joseph was extradited to Florida, where the alleged crime took place, and entered a not guilty plea. He was released on $600,000 bail.

Keep scrolling for more of Amy’s comments about Joseph’s arrest scandal:

Amy Duggar Reacts to Kendra Duggar’s Arrest

Two days after Joseph Duggar’s arrest, his wife, Kendra Duggar, was also arrested. Both Joseph and Kendra are facing four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, second degree, and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment. Kendra was released the same day on a $1,470 bond.

An insider with knowledge of the case exclusively told Us that Kendra’s arrest “has nothing to do with Joseph’s” child molestation case, and instead was the result of a subsequent home investigation.

Amy Duggar King had initially expressed prayers for Kendra, but later reversed course after her cousin-in-law’s arrest.

“I think that was a plot twist that no one saw coming,” Amy told TMZ. “When I gave that [first] statement … that was just the information I was given at the time and thought to be true. Now that the information has changed and there’s more that is coming out and there’s a lot of question marks right now.”

When Amy Duggar Last Spoke to Joseph Duggar

In an Instagram post, Amy Duggar King revealed she hadn’t “seen or heard” from Joseph Duggar in “about five years.”

“That doesn’t mean I didn’t still love him and want the best for him,” Amy wrote via her Instagram Stories in March 2026. “I don’t think people understand how much time I spent with them and countless hours filming. I grew up over there [at his parents’ house].”

She added, “I didn’t know Kendra extremely well, but I thought they made an adorable couple.  I went to a ski resort with them once and shopped a little with Kendra. [She was] very sweet natured, and [I] just loved her.”

After Amy found out about Joseph’s arrest, she said that she texted Kendra.

“No response back,” she claimed. “That was before I knew anything of her being arrested.”

Amy Duggar Offers Support for Joseph Duggar’s Kids

Amy Duggar King shared an Instagram statement in March 2026, revealing that she has “no idea” where Joseph and Kendra’s four children are upon her cousins’ arrests.

“I just hope and pray they are being well taken care of and someone is holding them tight and that they are safe,” she wrote at the time. “Sadly, I’ve never met them, they do not know me. So l’d be a stranger to them.”

Amy Duggar Feels ‘Emotionally Exhausted’

Amy Duggar King initially took a break from social media after learning of Joseph Duggar’s arrest.

“Hey TikTok, it’s been a minute. I’ve taken a minute from videos and whatnot because I literally don’t even know what to say,” she said in a March 26, 2026, TikTok video. “I feel emotionally exhausted from all of this. It’s not about me, I know it’s not … but my heart hurts. I know I’m not the only one.”

She continued, “Joe was the last person that I expected. We’re all wanting answers right now. … He’s behind bars tonight. I cannot comprehend that.”

At one point, Joseph told wife Kendra Duggar that he’d been “spending a lot of time reading, uh, reading the Bible” while in solitary confinement.

A member of President Donald Trump’s administration claims he was “teleported” to a Waffle House in Rome, Georgia, against his will.

“I was with my boys one time, and I was telling them I was gonna go to Waffle House and get Waffle House,” Gregg Phillips, a far-right conspiracy theorist who now serves as a high-ranking US Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) official, claimed in a January 2025 episode of the “Onward” podcast, hosted by fellow right-wing activist Catherine Engelbrecht.

“And I ended up at a Waffle House — this was in Georgie, and I end up at a Waffle House like 50 miles away from where I was,” he continued. “And they said, ‘Where are you?’ and I said, ‘A Waffle House.’ And, ‘A Waffle House where?’ And I said, ‘Waffle House in Rome, Georgia.’ And they said, ‘That’s not possible, you just left here a minute ago.’ But it was possible. It was real.”

The FEMA official went on to lament on the so-called pitfalls of transportation via paranormal means.

“Teleporting is no fun,” he claimed. “You know it’s happening, but you can’t do anything about it, and so you just go, you just go with the ride. And wow, what just an incredible adventure it all was.”

After CNN published an investigative report into Phillips’ numerous podcast appearances and bizarre claims — including his violent rhetoric and conspiracy theories surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, vaccines, former president Joe Biden and an an alleged “assassination” plot against Trump by the Department of Homeland Security — FEMA issued a statement.

“This is so silly it’s barely worth acknowledging,” the spokesperson told CNN. “DHS, FEMA, and Mr. Phillips are focused on the critical mission of emergency management and ensuring the safety of the American people. Many of the comments cited are taken out of context or represent personal, informal, jovial, and somewhat spiritual discussions made in the context of barely surviving cancer; in a private capacity prior to his current role.”

During the same January 2025 podcast appearance, Phillips claimed he was teleported against his will for a second time — this time, the official claimed he was “lifted up” while driving, further alleging he traveled 40 miles from Albany, Georgia, before landing in a ditch near a church.

Dana Vaughns danced the “Hoedown Throwdown” with Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana: The Movie — and he’s still raking in dough from it.

“How much money did I make doing the Hannah Montana movie? The answer is, ‘I don’t know,’” Vaughns, 28, said in a Thursday, April 2, TikTok video. “But I just got home from a trip to Dallas this weekend and, lo and behold, in the mail was a check for the Hannah Montana movie.”

He opened up an envelope, revealing that he “made a whopping $66.40” on his most recent paystub.

“Pretty sure the residuals come from when people order it on Disney+ or wherever the movie is streamed,” Vaughns said. “That’s where it comes from, and it’s not bad. It’s not bad to get a random [check], but I’ve had them as low as $9, $6, $4, like 10 cents. These residuals can get really low.”

Vaughns captioned his upload, “Hannah Montana still be paying.”

Cyrus, 33, starred as Miley Stewart/ Hannah Montana on Disney Channel’s sitcom of the same name, chronicling a seemingly ordinary teen girl’s double life as a world-famous pop star. The Hannah Montana series aired from 2006 to 2011, starring Miley, her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso and Jason Earles. The cast reprised their roles in 2009’s Hannah Montana: The Movie.

In Hannah Montana: The Movie, Miley took a break from her pop star career while visiting family in her fictional Crowley Corners, Tennessee, hometown. At one point, she took the mic at a local barn-held fundraiser and sang “Hoedown Throwdown.” Vaughns played a young dancer mastering the now-iconic line dance.

Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans‘ split is proving more acrimonious by the day as the estranged couple continues to hurl unsettling accusations at each other.

The actor told the court during their divorce trial on Friday that Evans actually had $100,000 in the account despite begging for money from fans.

A judge has since handed Ioan Gruffudd a renewed five-year restraining order against Alice Evans as their court battle rages on.

Alice Evans Allegedly Had $100k While Crowdfunding From Fans

Gruffudd has come forward with shocking new claims against his ex-wife, Alice Evans.

According to the Daily Mail, during a divorce trial at the LA Superior Court on Friday, the “Fantastic Four” actor told the court that while Evans was publicly pleading for financial assistance from her fans and social media followers, she was in fact sitting on a six-figure bank balance.

The “Vampire Diaries” actress had gone public with her supposed financial constraints, claiming she was “broke” and unable to afford groceries and take care of their daughters, Ella and Elsie, since she separated from their father in 2021.

Evans also said she was worried about becoming homeless due to her financial struggle. This prompted fans to donate thousands of dollars to a GoFundMe she created.

Gruffudd told the court that Evans said on social media that she started the GoFundMe “because her world had fallen apart…she was a struggling single mother who had exhausted all her resources and accounts and had no money for food and no help.”

However, the actor alleged that at the time Evans made the social media plea for help, “she was living in the family residence and [he] was paying all her expenses. By her own account, she had about $100,000.”

The Actress Was Asked About A $90k Fee She Withdrew From Their Joint Account

The ex-couple has been at each other’s throats for years now, with Evans seeking the court to increase the $1,500 monthly payment she gets in spousal support.

However, Gruffudd wants the court to cancel the payment altogether because of her “persistent domestic abuse” of him and her “many violations of a previous restraining order.”

According to the news outlet, he also claimed he had already “overpaid” her to the tune of almost $400,000.

As the court session proceeded, Gruffudd’s lawyers grilled Evans about a $90,000 fee she withdrew from their joint account and allegedly stashed away with their nanny.

She admitted to paying the sums of $10,000, $30,000, and two tranches of $24,000 to the nanny, but claimed that the domestic help was battling cancer and the money was an advance payment for her service so that she could attend to her health.

Alice Evans Admits She Hasn’t Tried To Get Other Jobs Outside Of Acting

Elsewhere during the court session, Evans maintained that her age has affected her chances of getting movie roles in Hollywood and that she hasn’t featured in any project since 2016, which has seemingly impacted her finances.

She also claimed that she suffers from an autoimmune disease that “can affect my ability to work…But I haven’t had a flare-up for three years.”

The “Lost” actress noted that she relies on “gifts from family, friends, and fans” to cover her bills,  but admitted to Gruffudd’s lawyers that she has not tried looking for any job outside acting with her other skills, which include fluency in French.

“If I could earn enough money to support my children, I would be willing to move into a different field,” she said.

The Actress Suffered A Legal Setback

Gruffudd scored a huge win against Evans in March when Judge Michael Convey renewed his domestic violence restraining order for five years, per the Daily Mail.

The actor had recounted a years-long campaign of online harassment and abuse she waged against him and his new wife, Bianca Wallace, which caused him to seek an initial restraining order in 2022.

Evans Admitted That She hadn’t kept to her best behavior online and was often trash-talking them in several social media posts.

She then offered her apologies to them and told the court how “ashamed and regretful” she was of her behavior, but the judge didn’t take it, citing that she’d violated the initial restraining order “multiple” times.

The Judge’s Reason For Issuing The Restraining Order Against Ioan Gruffudd’s Ex-Wife

Despite Evans’ pleas, Judge Convey proceeded to renew Gruffudd’s restraining order, noting that she carried out a “concerted, focused, intentional and caustic campaign of denigration” aimed at Gruffudd and Wallace.

He stated that Evans’s “threats of force and intimidation….caused Ioan to fear for his and Bianca’s physical safety,” and that her “pattern of abuse” kept him isolated from their children.

“Her vow to ‘dedicate her life to fighting him’ and ruin his career threatened his ability to provide for his children,” the judge added.

Prime Video is, without a doubt, one of the best streaming services out there right now, with some of the best shows. Their original series are incredibly well-made, and each one has a plethora of love, care, and prowess put into the creation of them, allowing them to quickly rise to the top rankings of all the streaming services taking over the world right now.

A good show finds itself being amazing from start to finish. While no show is perfect, and always has some parts of their run in which they may lack or dip a tad in quality, but, for the most part, they are pretty dang good. Honestly, what really matters is how the series takes those issues on the chin, and balances them out to show the audience they’re not down for good. With the number of shows that Prime Video has that are amazing, start to finish, they’re the perfect place to go when looking for a new binge.​​​​

‘The Boys’ (2019–Present)

Image via Prime Video

One of the most explosive superhero shows of the modern age of superhero television is easily The Boys. Bringing about a brutal, bloody, and gory ride that has the squeamish audience members always cringing, this Prime Video show does everything it can to subvert the typical tropes of ordinary superhero stories. It’s so good that people widely consider it to be far, far better than the comic it’s based on.

Homelander (Antony Starr) is one of the most well-written television villains of the last ten years, bringing about mind games and a sense of tension unlike any other—not to mention his amazing score, composed by the likes of Christopher Lennertz. The protagonists are all charming, funny, and all-around compelling, and while the last season definitely lacked in comparison to others, the batting average of The Boys is undeniable.

‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ (2024–Present)

Image via Prime Video

Based on the 2005 film of the same name, Mr. & Mrs. Smith ended up being an extremely fun show that some even say surpasses the quality of the original project. With the first season starring the ever-talented Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, and the second supposedly starring Sophie Thatcher and Mark Eydelshteyn, the characters are quite easily the highlight of this story.

The first season was quite a success, so it almost immediately got a second season renewal. Unfortunately, the sequel is on hiatus as the creative team goes through major changes, so it’s on an indefinite hold—not cancelled—which means this is the best time to get into the show and catch up. It earned itself 16 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, and if that alone isn’t enough to convince someone of this show’s quality, then not much else is.

‘Reacher’ (2022–Present)

The book series that Reacher is based on is one of the most popular thriller book series of all time—written originally by Lee Child. Once upon a time, there was a movie series based on them, starring Tom Cruise, but they didn’t do much great in terms of adapting the books, and in 2022, Reacher and Alan Ritchson came along and delivered where the movies couldn’t. No offense to Cruise, but this show pretty much wiped the floor with the previous adaptations and set the standard for shows like this moving forward.

Ritchson is—zero question in mind—the perfect pick for Jack Reacher, and it’s to the point in which he’s becoming what Robert Downey Jr. was to Iron Man, and it’s hard for people to imagine anyone else playing the war hero. Each season has been not only well-written but incredibly executed on the action and direction sides of things, too, making this show fully engaging the entire way through. It’s got the perfect mix of mystery, thriller, action, drama, and even romance. It really does have something for everyone, despite what it may look like on the surface (just a “guy’s show”).

‘Secret Level’ (2024–Present)

Anthology shows have been making a huge comeback in the last ten years, and one of the newest and most fun is most certainly Prime Video’s Secret Level. From the creator of the also incredibly popular Love, Death & Robots, Tim Miller, Secret Level is a project that, rather than bringing in completely original worlds, visits the worlds of popular video games, making it immediately popular. With built-in fanbases for each episode, success was pretty much guaranteed for Secret Level.

Adapting the universes of the likes of Mega Man, Warhammer 40,000, Pac-Man, and more, Miller has a ton of fun bringing a variety of animation studios in to give each world their own unique feeling and design. Almost every single episode of Secret Level is exciting, visually dazzling, and well-written, and worth watching for, not just fans of video games, but fans of science fiction as a whole. Audiences are eagerly awaiting Season 2 to see what batch of video game franchises will be adapted this time around.

‘Invincible’ (2021–Present)

Another superhero series from Prime Video that never holds back and is taking over the globe like Omni-Man (J. K. Simmons) always wanted is Invincible. Created by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, this comic-turned-animated-sensation is loved by many. While everyone can agree that, at times, there are some hiccups in animation, they more than make up for it by putting their budget towards the moments that matter.

There’s a reason that the Invincible (2003) comic was successful enough to become a hit animated series, and that’s because the writing from Kirkman is so dang good, and it really gets even better in Invincible. The show gives him the chance to do things differently or even add stories he couldn’t do in the comics—most recent example being Invincible Season 4, Episode 4, “Hurm.” Because of this, the series has become something truly special.

‘Fallout’ (2024–Present)

Fallout is one of the most successful game franchises of all time and has one of the coolest post-apocalyptic worlds in sci-fi. With how beloved the franchise is, it only makes sense that they’d make a streaming series featuring some of the most talented actors in the game—Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, and more.

Many fans and critics would agree that the Fallout Prime Video series is one of the better video game adaptations in recent years. The era of video game adaptations—that are actually good—is here, and Fallout is the perfect example of this when it comes to the streaming space. This show is more than worth getting caught up on before the next season airs. Better yet, give it a watch, and then go play the games! The Fallout franchise has so much to offer on every front.

‘Gen V’ (2023–Present)

Within the world of The Boys comes the arguably better Gen V. Immediately when Season 1 aired in 2023, this spinoff ended up taking the world by storm. The characters within it are extremely compelling, and it tells a smaller story that makes the series feel even more intimate than The Boys, honestly. Gen V follows new students at Godolkin University as they uncover a wild conspiracy that connects directly to The Boys.

The status of a potential Season 3 is still up in the air—most likely will not be announced until after The Boys‘ final season—but even if it ended where it’s at right now, the writing is so good that the ending would feel satisfying, regardless. The cast of characters is so interesting and compelling, and they help drive the engaging story forward excellently. A more intimate, grounded story can often be more interesting and enthralling than big ones, and Gen V and The Boys are the proof in the pudding.

‘The Runarounds’ (2025–Present)

Without a doubt, the most underrated Prime Video series of all time—maybe even one of the most underrated streaming shows, too—is The Runarounds. Following a band trying to make it in an impossible industry, on a ticking clock as the rest of the world around them expects them to make decisions about what they’re going to do with the rest of their lives. It’s a profound coming-of-age story with some awesome performances all across the board. Season 2’s status is currently up in the air—the success of their recent tour and the viewership of the series itself are most likely to be deciding factors—so now is the time to go watch The Runarounds so they can get the continuation they so rightfully deserves.

Simply put, The Runarounds is one of the better streaming shows in quite some time and never got the attention it deserved. What makes this better is the fact that the band within the show is a band in real life, and the music within it—songs of their own they perform on tour—is available for streaming. So, not only does the show deliver on the television front, but provides an entire album of bangers, as well. The Runarounds is a perfect example of the fact that if done well, completely original ideas can be the best stories out there—Prime Video just needs to actually do a good job marketing them.
