Chris Hughes is back in the spotlight, but this time, it’s not just about his love life. 

As his romance with JoJo Siwa continues to make headlines, new details about his finances are drawing attention behind the scenes. 

The former “Love Island” star, who built a career through TV and endorsements, is now facing scrutiny over significant company debts, legal issues, and a stalled attempt to shut down his business.

Chris Hughes Faces Major Debt Linked To His Company

Chris Hughes may have found fame on “Love Island,” but his financial situation tells a more complicated story. 

After leaving the show in 2017, he launched Chris Hughes Associates Ltd, a company tied to his growing media career.

However, recent accounts revealed serious financial trouble. According to a report from the Daily Mail, the company owed £423,243 ($559,774) to creditors for the year ending July 31, 2024. 

The bulk of that, £409,057 ($540,984) was listed under “taxation and social security costs,” with additional amounts tied to bank loans and overdrafts.

The situation escalated when the tax authority, His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs, took action, filing a petition in August 2024 to have the company wound up. 

Although the case was dismissed in April 2025, the debt itself remained unresolved.

Hughes Attempts To Close Company Amid Legal Issues

Chris Hughes later tried to shut down the company himself, but that effort was blocked by a creditor, believed to be HMRC. 

As a result, the closure process has been put on hold, leaving the company’s future uncertain.

The financial strain wasn’t the only issue. The business also failed to submit a required confirmation statement to Companies House by July 22, 2025. 

While it may seem like a minor administrative step, failing to file it is considered a criminal offense.

Despite these setbacks, Hughes has maintained a public presence and is reportedly worth around £1.4 million ($1.85 million) from his television work, brand deals, and media appearances. 

Chris Hughes’ Career Moves And JoJo Siwa Romance Add Contrast

Besides his finances, Hughes has also faced changes in his career. After working on ITV’s horse racing coverage since 2019, a role he once described as his “dream,” he was quietly dropped from the lineup.

Addressing speculation online, Hughes pushed back on claims about money being the issue, writing, “Just FYI, press reports were not true around this. I never once asked for more money.” 

He added, “I was simply told they were cost cutting across sport… and I was one of them that was removed.” In a surprising admission, he said, “I even offered to work for free at one of the festivals.”

At the same time, his personal life has taken a different turn. Hughes is now dating JoJo Siwa, a global star with an estimated net worth of around £18 million. 

The pair first met in April 2025 while appearing on “Celebrity Big Brother UK,” where they quickly formed a close bond that fans initially saw as friendship.  

After the show, their connection deepened, and by June 2025, Siwa confirmed their romance, saying it was “not platonic anymore” and calling it a “beautiful connection.”  

Since then, their relationship has grown publicly, with appearances together, trips, and shared projects.

Siwa Reveals Boyfriend Hughes Inspired Her New Love Song

Recently, JoJo Siwa put her love life into her music, revealing that Chris Hughes inspired her new song “Serendipity.” 

As The Blast reported, the singer described the reality TV star as her “very sweet love,” explaining that their relationship felt meant to be. 

She shared, “The inspiration behind that is my very sweet love Christopher,” adding that their connection felt like “serendipity,” which is also his favorite word. 

Siwa said their relationship came at the right time, noting that “when it’s meant to be, it is,” and that their bond grew naturally after meeting on “Celebrity Big Brother UK.” 

The song, set for release on April 7, reflects that feeling, capturing how their lives came together unexpectedly. 

JoJo Siwa Reveals Sweet Moment She Knew Chris Hughes Was ‘The One’

Months before her revelation, Siwa shared the sweet moment she realized her relationship with Chris Hughes had turned into real love, and it all clicked because of unexpected advice. 

According to a report from The Blast,  the “Karma” singer recalled something Meghan Trainor once told her, noting, “You will know you love somebody when you love them so much you want to duplicate them and you want to pop a baby out that is made from them.” 

Siwa admitted that those words suddenly made sense just months into dating Hughes. “I get what you’re saying now,” she said, adding, “I love [Chris] so much. I need there to be a mini [Chris].” 

Her feelings only grew stronger when Hughes sent her a childhood photo of himself, which she couldn’t stop gushing over. 

She also laughed about an AI image of their future kids, calling his reaction a “hilarious mixup.” 

For Siwa, it wasn’t just romance; it was the kind of love that made her imagine a future.

King Charles 2026 Easter celebrations are not off to a great start.

The King was met with a glaring anti-monarchy message outside the Welsh church where he and Queen Camilla went to attend the Royal Maundy Service.

King Charles is no stranger to public antagonism. He has been heckled and booed by protesters over the years in London, Australia, York, and Milton Keynes since his ascension to the throne. Notably, while he was still the Prince of Wales, eggs were thrown at him by protesters during a visit to Canada.

Is King Charles Suffering Fallout From His Brother’s Epstein Links?

To attend the Royal Maundy Service at St. Asaph Cathedral in north Wales this year, King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived to meet a sight for sore eyes. The walls outside the church were desecrated with an anti-monarchy message before their arrival. The words “Not our King” were boldly written in red ink across one of the walls of the ancient cathedral.

King Charles arrived to lead a royal Easter tradition with his Queen for the second time ever in Wales. The local council quickly got to work trying to remove the graffiti and later covered it with a tarpaulin while investigations into the culprits are ongoing. The words splashed in red spray are a popular slogan of the anti-monarchy group Republic, which staged a demonstration outside the Royal Maundy Service on Thursday.

The Republic is yet to take responsibility for defacing the cathedral walls, nor have they been officially charged for the demonstration. PEOPLE shared that Republic CEO Graham Smith explained why activists were protesting in North Wales. In a released statement, Smith stated that the public wants answers, saying “Charles shouldn’t be able to avoid questions about his complicity in the Andrew scandal,” in reference to the ex-Prince Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. 

The Royal Maundy Service Is A Centuries-Long Tradition

While this is only the second time in history that the service has been held in Wales, it has been a long-standing tradition of the Royal family. The service dates far back to 600AD and just like the late Queen Elizabeth upheld the tradition, King Charles is following suit.

The first time the Royal Maundy Service, which commemorates the Maundy Thursday Christian holy day on the Thursday before Easter, was held in Wales was in 1982. Queen Elisabeth during her reign ensured that the event was held at different cathedrals and abbeys around the United Kingdom. Part of the Service involves the sovereign distributing special coins, also known as Maundy money, to local pensioners and retirees.

This act is to symbolize Jesus washing the Apostles’ feet at the Last Supper. The late Queen’s line of reasoning followed that the Maundy money should not be exclusively distributed to the people of London. Hence, the event should be held at different worship grounds across the U.K.

The ‘Not My King’ Chants Made Headlines A Few Years Back

Not only do the words demonstrate a revolt against the monarchy, but they are also against colonialism. In 2024, an Aboriginal Australian senator, Lidia Thorpe, raised her voice, chanting, “not my King” and “this is not your land” after King Charles delivered a speech at Parliament. Her words raised the world’s eyebrows, creating an eye-opener to a country that is still grappling with its colonial past.

According to reports by BBC News, Indigenous Australians are classed as the oldest living culture on earth, and have inhabited the continent for at least 65,000 years. Over the years, they have faced disadvantages in terms of resources, health, theft of their lands, and a long history of colonial violence.

Thrope’s cry, although not fully applauded, was a wake-up call. Prof Tom Calma, a Kungarakan and Iwaidja man who was present at the House of Parliament, explained that the way Senator Thrope moved to protest was misplaced and would not foster reconciliation or allies. Ultimately, her beckoning cries were heard by all and sundry, igniting debates all around.

Inside Early Demonstration Against The King

In 2009, while still performing in office as the Prince of Wales, Charles was heckled by a group of anti-monarchy Quebec nationalists during his visit to Canada. The then-Prince and former Duchess of Cornwall were met with the protesters outside the regimental hall of the Black Watch of Canada in Montreal. The protesters reportedly staged a sit-in protest outside the hall, blocking the streets in large numbers.

The Guardian shared in a release at the time that there were more than 100 protesters present, and before Charles could get into the hall, police spent about forty minutes clearing the streets. Some of the demonstrators threw eggs at the soldiers leaving the regimental hall as they chanted “Majesty go home” and the independence call “The Quebecois in Quebec.”

They waved the provincial flag of Quebec along with anti-royal placards as they gave their voices in unison for the movement. The demonstrators collided with officers’ batons and shields after a Canadian riot unit was called to force the protesters out of the way. Eventually, the then-Prince and Duchess were able to enter the regimental hall.

King Charles’ Fractured Relationship With Prince Harry

King Charles’ relationship with his son, Harry, has gone south since he stepped away from his royal duties with his wife, Meghan Markle, and shortly relocated to the United States. Since they departed from the U.K., King Charles has only seen his son twice, each time lasting approximately an hour.

Harry and Meghan’s kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have spent their years away from the monarchy, the traditions of the royal house, and their cousins. There are whispers that until Harry reconciles with his brother, Prince William, his children may have no official position in the Royal household.

The Blast reported that King Charles holds a sense of “low trust and [memories of] bitter experience” towards his younger son and, as such, is hesitant to invite Prince Harry and his family to the U.K. for the summer holidays. Harry, however, has shown signs of his desire to reconcile with his father and rebuild their relationship. He also wants Archie and Lilibet to have the opportunity to see and spend time with their grandfather.

Will King Charles’ days on the throne be faced with any more heckles?

Prince Harry is facing fresh scrutiny after a series of spicy Facebook messages exchanged with journalist Charlotte Griffiths were disclosed in the British High Court.

The messages form part of the Duke of Sussex’s privacy case against Associated Newspapers, which has concluded its trial phase and is currently awaiting judgment.

During the trial, Harry maintained that he had met Griffiths only once and had cut off contact after learning she was a reporter. However, the newly revealed exchanges paint a different picture.

Royal watchers are also now questioning the timing of the entire episode, with critics claiming the leaks may be diverting attention away from former Prince Andrew’s ongoing controversies.

Prince Harry’s Flirty Texts With Reporter Revealed In Explosive Court Docs

The broader case between Harry and Associated Newspapers focuses on allegations of unlawful newsgathering. However, his Facebook chats with Griffiths have taken on added significance for how they appear to challenge his version of events.

In one message presented to the court, the Duke dialed up the charm on the reporter while referencing a missed social gathering.

“I WISH I was there, sugar. But unfortunately, stuck in Cornwall doing Army stuff 🙁 Otherwise I would have been there playing and then drinking u under the table, obvi!!” Harry wrote, according to the Telegraph.

Griffiths testified that the two connected on Facebook in 2011, exchanged numbers, and later attended at least one additional gathering together.

Critics Accuse Palace Of Distraction Tactics From Andrew Controversies

In the wake of the resurfaced messages from the early 2010s, critics of the Royal Family are questioning why Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, continue to dominate headlines instead of former Prince Andrew and the controversies still surrounding him.

“Good grief! With Andrew and the monarchy in the wonkiest shape it’s ever been, they need to shift focus to Megs and Harry always, and it’s ridiculous,” one user complained via a comment on Reddit.

They also pointed to the couple’s former UK residence, raising questions about how it was reassigned within the Royal Family.

“It’s also not working. Wonder if Charles will be giving them back the home he took from them and gave to Andrew,” the user added.

Prince Harry’s Fling Dates Back To Pre-Meghan Era

Another aspect of the ongoing Harry and Griffiths saga that appears to have struck a nerve with fans is the timeline, with their online exchange predating his relationship with his current wife.

Harry appears to have met the reporter through mutual friends in December 2011, with court evidence placing their interactions at a country-house weekend hosted by Arthur Landon.

Nearly five years later, the “spare” was set up on a blind date with Markle in London by a mutual friend.

In a comment on X, one fan wasted no time pointing out the timeline.

“I don’t understand how this is a story. Was he married at the time?” the commenter said, while another one wrote, “If he wasn’t married to his wife at the time, no one cares.”

Prince Andrew Relocates With Mobile Home As Legal Troubles Persist

As scrutiny intensifies around Harry following the resurfacing of his past messages, attention is also really starting to turn to the stark reality of his uncle Andrew’s dramatically scaled-down life.

The disgraced royal is preparing to relocate to Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate. The modest five-bedroom property is a far cry from his previous, 30-room residence at Royal Lodge.

Yet it is not the house itself drawing the most attention, but what sits outside it. According to the Daily Mail, a pre-owned Willerby Meridian Lodge caravan was delivered to the property, reportedly costing around $33,000.

The mobile home is intended to support security arrangements, given the limited space in the main residence.

Prince Harry’s Court Battle Turns Chaotic With Witness Drama

Harry was one of several high-profile claimants in the unlawful newsgathering case against Associated Newspapers that is now awaiting judgment.

Proceedings grew tense as the royal took to the stand in the 10-week legal battle, per the BBC.

At multiple points during his testimony, Harry was interrupted and instructed to answer questions directly rather than argue his case, as exchanges in court became increasingly heated. However, the most dramatic moment came when a private investigator “switched sides” after disputing his own statement and forcing the court to treat him as a hostile witness.

Carrie Underwood has given insight into how she navigates Hollywood and her faith, while sharing a blunt truth about the industry.

Rising to fame on “American Idol” in 2005, she became a chart-topping country star and has since returned to the show as a judge, finding fulfillment in mentoring new talent.

Offstage, Carrie Underwood balances family life with husband Mike Fisher and their two sons on their Tennessee farm, keeping her personal life authentic and hands-on despite her fame and busy schedule.

Carrie Underwood Says Hollywood Is A Self-Serving Business

For more than two decades, Underwood has navigated the highs and lows of Hollywood, yet one constant has anchored her career: her faith.

Following Monday’s faith-focused episode of “American Idol,” the country music icon, who won the show in 2005 and joined as a judge last year, reflected on how she has stayed grounded amidst the industry’s “self-serving” tendencies.

Underwood explained that the industry can feel detached from reality, with people focused on their own success and comfort, making it easy to lose touch with their roots. For her, faith has been the key to maintaining perspective and staying true to herself.

“Faith is the thing that can keep you grounded,” she told Fox News Digital. “When you’re in the entertainment industry, there are a lot of things that, and I’ve said this before, it’s just not real life. You can get caught up in a lot.”

“You’re kind of in a self-serving business,” the singer continued. “Everybody around you is there to make sure you’re good, and you’re happy, and you have everything you need, and I feel like you can start to… You can lose your roots real fast, you know. So I think faith is the only way to keep you grounded.”

The Singer Reflects On Career Journey And Returning To ‘American Idol’ As Judge

Underwood first captured audiences on “American Idol,” quickly achieving massive success with hits like “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and “Before He Cheats” from her debut album “Some Hearts,” which remains the best-selling debut by a solo female country artist.

She has since released eight more albums, including “Carnival Ride” (2007), “Play On” (2009), and “Blown Away” (2012), solidifying her place in country music.

Returning to “Idol” as a judge, she shared, has brought her career full circle.

“Every once in a while, I will see glimpses of myself in a hopeful way, whether it’s somebody being super nervous or sometimes stylistically, just navigating this,” she said. “This is weird, let’s be honest. Being up on stage, singing in front of a whole bunch of people on TV, it’s not your everyday kind of thing.”

She added, “So everybody’s figuring out how to navigate all of it. But I’m just glad that we get to be a part of somebody’s journey, lots of people’s journeys.”

Carrie Underwood Celebrates Faith On ‘American Idol’ With Uplifting Performance

On Monday, Underwood performed the hymn “How Great Thou Art” and applauded “American Idol” for allowing contestants to express their faith.

She described the evening as uplifting and heartwarming, saying it was inspiring to see people share what mattered to them, whether through songs of personal inspiration or praise.

“It was something that they got to praise the Lord with. It was just a joyful, happy, lovely night,” she added.

The Country Star Doesn’t Bring Her ‘Work Home’

Balancing her career with family life, Underwood recently told “The View” how she keeps her home life grounded on her Tennessee farm with husband Mike Fisher and their sons, Isaiah and Jacob.

“I don’t bring work home with me,” she explained. “And it is the opposite of what I do everywhere else, like being on stage and being at home. These are two different people, pretty much, and I love that because it’s like they’ll come to shows, and they’ll see me do what I do, and I feel like they’re proud.”

She continued, describing her hands-on approach at home: “I’m usually covered in dirt, or I have farm animals everywhere, or I’m covered in poop or whatever it is. That’s mom, and I hope, more than anything, that’s what they take away from me, and that’s what they remember about me. Like she was mom, and every once in a while she goes and gets on stage.”

Carrie Underwood And Mike Fisher Celebrate At Nashville Predators Game

Meanwhile, Underwood and her husband, former NHL player Mike Fisher, recently attended a Nashville Predators game against the Montreal Canadiens at Bridgestone Arena.

The team’s official Instagram shared a photo of the couple smiling, with Underwood wearing a yellow Predators jersey featuring Fisher’s former number, 12, while he held personalized bobbleheads of them in matching jerseys.

The pair met in 2008 through a mutual friend and got engaged in December 2009. They married on July 10, 2010, at a Ritz-Carlton resort in Georgia and have since welcomed two sons, Isaiah, 11, and Jacob, 7.

In a 2019 interview with People Magazine, Underwood described Fisher as the partner she was always meant to be with. She reflected that her previous relationships never felt quite right, but with Fisher, “it was like a good partnership.” She emphasized that their connection “was an easy relationship to be in.”

Don Lemon recounted his January arrest during a recent appearance on ABC’s “The View,” where the famed journalist tearfully shared his experience being taken into custody following coverage of a Minnesota ICE protest.

The host of “The Don Lemon Show” on YouTube that boasts almost 1.3 million subscribers, sat alongside panelist, former co-worker, and long-time friend Sunny Hostin to discuss the incident.

Don Lemon Tearfully Recounts January 2026 Arrest By Federal Authorities During Visit To ‘The View’

On Thursday, April 2, former CNN anchor Don Lemon paid a visit to “The View” and spoke about his experience being arrested in a Los Angeles hotel room days after doing on-the-ground coverage of an ICE protest at a Minnesota church.

Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles while in town to cover the 2026 Grammy Awards, but his legal team attempted to contact the Department of Justice beforehand when word spread that the journalist would be arrested. However, Lemon said they were ignored in favor of publicly embarrassing him. 

“All they had to do was [say] ‘Hey, Mr. Lemon, turn yourself in,’” he said.

Hostin agreed with his assessment of the DOJ favoring public embarrassment, stating they wanted “to send a message to intimidate and harass.”

“I’ve been leaning on Sunny for counsel just as a friend. No legal stuff, but just as a friend,” Lemon said while on the panel, adding the DOJ chose to arrest him despite his willingness to turn himself in “because they want to embarrass people.”

The conversation took an emotional turn when Lemon teared up recalling how federal agents taking off a wedding present from his husband was the only way his arrest was known.

“I was fiddling with it, [and an agent] was like, ‘Do you want me to take that off?’” Lemon said of the diamond bracelet given to him by his husband Tim. 

“There was an FBI agent that walked up to me and said, ‘I will take care of it.’ I said, ‘Give this to my husband…’ And he took it up. That was the only way that anybody knew that I’d been arrested,” he shared.

Don Lemon Was Previously Arrested By Dozens Of Federal Agents, Which Was Deemed ‘Wildly Excessive’

While staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel during Grammy weekend, Lemon was taken into custody by more than two dozen federal agents, from both the FBI and Homeland Security, according to PEOPLE.

Per the outlet, Lemon was arrested around 11 p.m. local time in Los Angeles at the famed location, when agents showed up at his hotel room door.

Following his arrest, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson issued a statement to the outlet regarding Lemon’s charges.

“Don Lemon is being charged with 18 USC 241, Conspiracy to Deprive Rights, and 18 USC 248, Violation of the FACE Act, interfering by force of someone’s First Amendment rights,” the spokesperson said.

The overwhelming response to Lemon’s arrest was generally supportive, and when the number of agents on hand to arrest him was released, the sentiment included what many believe to be a massive overreach.

“That is wildly excessive. That’s treating someone like they have an assault rifle,” one commenter wrote in response to the PEOPLE details. “Two dozen heavily armed to arrest one man, very cowardly,” added another.

The Journalist Pled Not Guilty During His February 2026 Arraignment

On February 13, Lemon appeared in a Minnesota federal court on charges stemming from his coverage of an anti-ICE protest at a local church, which he was broadcasting live for his online news program.

According to NBC News, he stood in front of Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Micko and entered a plea of not guilty on all counts. The judge also told Lemon that he is “free to travel unless he were to violate any state or federal laws.”

During the hearing, the prosecutor in the case confirmed that Lemon’s cellphone was seized by authorities at the time of his arrest and a search warrant has since been obtained to investigate its contents.

Abbe Lowell, a member of Lemon’s legal team, said that seizing the cellphone was an action of possible “over-execution,” per the outlet.

Lemon Initially Spoke Out About The Arrest After His Release From Custody

Following his January 29 arrest, Lemon was formally released from custody after a short court appearance on January 30, per The Hollywood Reporter. “He’s committed to fighting this case,” Lemon’s attorney Marilyn Bednarski said at the time.

U.S. District Judge Patricia Donahue allowed Lemon to be released on a no money bond.

According to the 14-page indictment that was previously unsealed, Lemon “is charged with conspiracy and interfering with the First Amendment rights of worshipers,” per the Associated Press.

Following his release from custody, Lemon stood outside the courthouse before the media and issued a brief statement.

“I have spent my entire career covering the news. I will not stop now. There is no more important time than right night to cover the news…I will not stop now. I will not stop ever. I will not be silenced, I look forward to my day in court,” Lemon said.

The White House Mocked Lemon’s Arrest On Social Media

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the White House openly mocked the award-winning journalist. A black-and-white photo of Lemon from the Minnesota ICE protest was posted with the caption, “When life gives you lemons,” alongside an emoji of chains.

Per Deadline, Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and the CEO of the Center for Nonviolent Social Change, offered a blistering yet simple response to the post that many deemed racist.

King referred to the message as an example of “immaturity, poor taste, and fascism.”

Bold and the Beautiful hot news spoilers that confirm Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) and Deacon Sharpe‘s (Sean Kanan) fling is publicly outed soon. And when Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) finds out, you know, he’s going to lose it. But I expect Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) maybe to disagree with her husband about Taylor and her fling.

We’re going to talk about this spoiler because there is more to it. It says, “A lot of people have very strong feelings about Deacon and Taylor’s hidden fling when it comes out.” Now, let’s get into those reactions, specifically Ridge and Brooke’s in particular.

Sheila Figures It Out on Bold and the Beautiful

So, right now, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) is putting all the pieces together. She’s so close to figuring out Deacon is cheating on her with Taylor. First, she noticed the Il Giardino pizza box at Steffy Forrester‘s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) house that Deacon left there. And of course, Sheila didn’t know who left it, but it got her thinking.

And that was right after finding Taylor disheveled and sweaty, all naked in her sheets with the balcony door wide open. And Sheila suggested it was special self-pleasuring me time. And Taylor latched onto that as a good enough excuse. But Sheila’s going to circle back around to what she saw and realize what it really was.

The Clues Keep Piling Up on B&B

What also got her going was that Deacon just seemed to disappear for many, many hours. If he had showed back up at Il Giardino after he left Taylor’s and told Sheila he cut dinner short with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) because he wasn’t feeling well, Sheila might have dropped it right then and there.

But in her mind, Deacon was missing all night when really for a lot of it he was upstairs. So that was sloppy on his part. And Sheila’s mind kept spinning. And she asked the Il Giardino delivery guy if he took food over to Steffy’s house that day and he said, “No, it’s been a while since I was there.”

And then the smoking gun was a sandy shoe. When Sheila found sand in and on Deacon’s dirty boots, she realized he’d been somewhere sandy. Mind you, he could have met Hope for dinner at a beachside restaurant. It is California. There’s plenty of beach. But Sheila decided that sand means he was in Malibu where Taylor lives.

So, the look on Sheila’s face said it all. Everything clicked. And she’s increasingly certain that Deacon was with Taylor. And Sheila is kind of grilling Deacon on the next episode about his boots. And he says something about he’ll be more careful. He doesn’t want anyone hurt. It’s just weird dialogue.

Taylor and Deacon’s Affair Goes Public on Bold

So, these new April spoilers say that Taylor and Deacon’s relationship goes public. They’re going to be outed. I don’t think they’re out screaming it from the rooftops. It’s going to be dropped like a bombshell. And Bold spoilers mention that many people have feelings about this shocking reveal and Sheila is only one of them.

So, I want to talk about the people who are going to freak out about Taylor and Deacon and this affair being outed and how explosive it all is going to be. And so, let’s start with Steffy. She already threatened to kick Taylor out of her life, out of the family, out of the house. And Steffy also threatened Taylor saying that she’d go tell Ridge.

And I think Steffy might do it because she’s desperate to stop Taylor before it is too late. And once it is too late, which is coming soon, and Steffy finds out Sheila knows about the affair, I think Steffy’s anti-Deacon feelings are going to grow, she’ll be frantically worried about Taylor’s safety. And from there, I think Steffy will make sure that Ridge knows exactly what is going on with Taylor and Deacon and ask for his help to shut it down once and for all.

Ridge Will Lose It

And speaking of Ridge, he already had a tantrum about this in Taylor’s office when he walked in on her and Deacon. And that’s been oh my gosh, six weeks ago, maybe more. If you remember, Ridge also got really demanding and told Taylor she’s going to stop seeing Deacon.

He told him, “Get your hands off Taylor.” And Ridge told both of them, “This is over,” because you know how Ridge loves to tell everybody the way things are because you know he thinks he gets to decide everything. So I bet we get more of that from Ridge.

Him being all high-handed and bossy with his ex-wife. Something like, “I told you to stay away from Deacon and now see this mess you made, Taylor.” As if Ridge has any say after his constant betrayals with Brooke over the years.

But in this situation, honestly, he’s not wrong. Even though Ridge’s big head is gonna explode, Taylor is 100% incorrect in doing this for many, many reasons.

Brooke May Surprise Ridge on B&B

As for Brooke, I think she might stun Ridge and lean towards being team Taylor. And of course, Brooke doesn’t want Taylor in danger, but also Brooke is a follow your heart girl. And she told Taylor ago she wants her to find her destiny. And also, Brooke cares about Deacon and she wants better for him than Sheila freaking Carter.

And if Taylor gets her happily ever after with Deacon, that also means no more love triangle issues for Brooke with Taylor and Ridge in the mix. So, next I want to talk about Finn (Tanner Novlan). Don’t forget him. He cares about Taylor. He loves his mother-in-law, but he also knows his mom Sheila’s dangerous track record.

So, Finn may intervene with Sheila and talk her down. Finn might tell Sheila if she goes off the deep end and does something violent, hurts Taylor, then she will never ever see him or Hayes Forrester Finnegan again. You know, Finn could say he’ll get a restraining order. He could tell Sheila he will hate her and never forgive her if she hurts Taylor.

And even though Sheila is banned from Finn and Hayes right now, Sheila has hope that things might change. And I think Finn could stop Sheila in her tracks if he threatens to destroy that hope because bottom line, she adores her son and grandson.

Li Could Help Sheila Get Non-Violent Revenge

Speaking of that, there’s Finn’s mom, Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda), who might also be able to talk Sheila down. But I think she would also have a very disgusted reaction to finding out Deacon and Taylor’s dirty secret when it goes public. I could see Li telling Sheila she deserves better than cheating Deacon, just like Li deserved better than cheating Jack Finnegan.

And Li might promise to help Sheila get revenge in a non-violent way. Li could tell the hospital board that Taylor is sleeping with a patient even though Deacon’s not seeing her as a therapist anymore. It is against the rules, by the way, to ever sleep with a patient if you are a psychiatrist.

And that’s what Taylor is, and she would absolutely lose her license over it. By the way, there’s another April spoiler for Bold and the Beautiful that says a couple who seem to be a perfect match winds up ending their love story. And I definitely think there’s a chance that’s about Sheila and Deacon.

It really doesn’t match a lot of other couples. You could extrapolate and say it applies to Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace), but it’s not really a good fit because they are completely broken up and I don’t think anybody else is going to call it quits.

Will Sheila Control Her Anger on Bold and the Beautiful?

So, you know, she may see that Deacon’s fallen out of love with her and in love with Taylor and that it wasn’t done with malice. And Sheila may also realize no matter how she goes about this looking for revenge, she will ruin her life if she acts in violence in her anger.

She’s entitled to be mad and to be hurt, but she’s not entitled to be violent. And I kind of think Sheila’s evolved enough to maybe be able to rein in the violence. You know, she may have some words to say, but hopefully she won’t take any drastic actions.

But a third spoiler for April says, “One woman gives in to love and puts herself in danger because of it.” And that sounds like Taylor sticking with Deacon despite the risk, despite Steffy and Ridge’s outrage, and despite Sheila being a danger.

What’s also interesting is for a minute Deacon and Taylor’s affair could cause a little trouble for her ex-husband’s marriage because I do think Brooke will throw her support to Taylor as long as Sheila is not a risk. Brooke may also tell Ridge that Deacon’s a good man and he’s worthy of Taylor.

And that would really annoy Ridge because he thinks Deacon’s terrible. But, you know, he’s never done a bad thing to Taylor. Meanwhile, Ridge, let’s be honest, has done Taylor dirty many times.

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to television thanks to her starring role in Hulu’s “All’s Fair” and her appearances on “The Kardashians.” Now, after filming a new movie directed by actress Eva Longoria, the 45-year-old is teaming up with the production team behind “Love Island” for a new show.

Kim Kardashian’s New Show Is Coming To Paramount+

According to Variety, Kardashian is set to executive produce a new unscripted series, “Team Moms.” Paramount+ has given the green light to the series, which will follow families involved in competitive youth baseball. The report states that the series will air in 2026.

The show will be set at the Legendary Prep Academy in Scottsdale, Arizona, which is described as a strict baseball-focused school for kids who fall between 6th and 12th grade. Legendary Prep Academy is considered a feeder school for Division 1 scholarships and later the MLB, making it a highly sought-after institution for players and parents serious about baseball.

Here’s What ‘Team Moms’ Is About

Per the report, “Team Moms” will include perspectives from not only the parents and players, but also the coaching staff. Regarding the players, the show will mostly center around the starting lineup for what has been described as one of the most competitive programs in the sport.

The show’s tagline states, “Willing to do whatever it takes for their children to excel at America’s favorite pastime, the intensity of the program is only paralleled by the fervor of its athletes’ parents, who will stop at nothing to ensure their kids make it to the big leagues.”

In additon to Kardashian, ITV America, which is the production team behind “Love Island USA,” will produce “Team Moms,” as will Paramount Sports Entertainment.

Fans Are Reacting To The Kim Kardashian-Produced Show

Following the announcement that Kardashian would executive produce “Team Moms” for Paramount+, potential viewers chimed in with varied opinions. Some felt it could be a compelling show, while others were surprised that such a school as Legendary Prep Academy existed.

First, one person marveled, “Everyone’s focused on Kim, but can we talk about the fact that there’s a baseball prep school in Scottsdale training 6th graders for MLB fame?? That’s the actual story here.”

Someone else said, “That sounds like another big venture from Kim Kardashian, blending reality TV with high-stakes youth sports, is definitely a formula that can draw attention. With the rise of NIL deals and intense competition, shows like this will likely spark both interest and debate about the pressures placed on young athletes.”

A different X user speculated, “So we’re putting Kim K in charge of youth sports content now? Either this is going to be genuinely compelling TV… or the most dramatic dugout meltdown we’ve ever seen.”

Lastly, someone else said, “Youth baseball going mainstream like this is interesting.”

The Mom Of 6 Provided More Details On The Show

Kardashian reacted to the news of the show by first sharing the Variety article on her Instagram Stories. After that, she took to the platform to dish about the behind-the-scenes of the upcoming unscripted series.

She said in an Instagram Story, “One of my close friends, @natalie5382, and I took our kids to Spain to catch a few soccer games and somehow ended up deep in conversations about the wild world of sports parents.”

Kardashian went on, “The stories were insane. Somewhere between games and sidelines, we realized we might’ve just stumbled onto the concept for a TV show.”

She then made another post, writing the caption, “TEAM MOMS Coming Soon!!!” She also tagged Paramount+ in the post.

Eva Longoria Is Directing Kim Kardashian In ‘The Fifth Wheel’

Kardashian has been making a name for herself as an actress in recent years, following her big-screen debut in 2013 in “Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor.” More recently, she appeared in season 12 of “American Horror Story” and in “All’s Fair,” both Ryan Murphy productions.

Now, her next movie is Netflix’s “The Fifth Wheel,” directed by Longoria. The “Desperate Housewives” alum spoke to PEOPLE in April 2026 about Kardashian’s performance in the film.

She said, “It’s so much fun. We just wrapped after three months of filming. We ended in Vegas. It was a dream job. First of all, it’s a big, unapologetically R-rated female comedy that feels modern and contemporary.”

Longoria added, “Kim is the anchor of the movie. We just had a blast. Kim and I have been friends for 25 years, and when I got the job, she said, ‘Oh, thank God Eva knows I’m funny.’ And she is — she’s so funny. I cannot wait for the world to see how great she is in this movie and hopefully spark more female comedies.”

When it comes to faith-based films, the cinema has a rich and diverse range of options for viewers to enjoy. From comedies to dramas, animated epics to Hollywood classics, there is no shortage of movies that have been centered around Christian themes. However, when it comes to defining excellence in this multifaceted genre, there are certain movies that keep rising to the top again and again.

Whether it is the visually stunning animation of The Prince of Egypt or the sincere dedication to authenticity in The Passion of the Christ, these movies are the best of the best. Blending a background of biblical stories with new, creative genius, they capture some of the most significant moments from the Bible and bring them to life like never before. With their impactful storytelling and cinematic prowess, these are the four greatest movies based on Bible stories.

‘The Ten Commandments’ (1956)

In the 1940s and 1950s, there was an abundance of epic studio films based on the Bible. Movies like The Robe, Samson and Delilah, and Solomon and Sheba were grand in their scope and scale. The principal movie to come out of this era was The Ten Commandments.

Directed by Cecil B. DeMille, The Ten Commandments follows the life of Moses and includes important events like the 10 plagues of Egypt, the mass exodus of the Hebrew people, and the origin of the Ten Commandments. Charlton Heston was the preeminent actor of the time, and his larger-than-life presence on camera lent itself well to playing the lead role. Yul Brynner, another iconic actor, was irreplaceable as Rameses and brought the pomp and confidence needed to play the stubborn and narcissistic ruler.

DeMille had actually made a silent film called The Ten Commandments back in 1923. This version was half biblical story and half modern-day tale about a family and how the Ten Commandments impacted them. DeMille received so many requests from fans to remake a movie about the Ten Commandments that he did, 33 years later. This time, by focusing solely on the biblical story, the film felt more intentional and captivating. The 1956 version of The Ten Commandments was unlike any other movie before it. It was unmatched for grandeur and sheer enormity. The cast included thousands of extras and live animals, and filming took place in California and Mount Sinai in Egypt.

He suffered a heart attack during filming, but refused to abandon the project and returned to the set as soon as he physically could. The Ten Commandments was nominated for seven Oscars and won for its groundbreaking special effects. From the parting of the Red Sea to the pillar of fire, The Ten Commandments had some of the most innovative and spectacular special effects ever captured on screen. Celebrating its 70-year anniversary this year, The Ten Commandments is still as inspiring to watch now as it was upon its advent. When it comes to the sweeping studio epics that are based on the Bible, it is undoubtedly the paragon.

‘The Nativity Story’ (2006)

Movies focusing on the birth of Jesus are mostly animated and focused on children as the audience. The Nativity is left to be a footnote in biblical biopics, seemingly always good to mention, but never really focused on. In 2006, writer Mike Rich and director Catherine Hardwicke released the best biopic focusing solely on the birth of Christ with The Nativity Story.

Casting in a film where there are two or fewer main characters is crucial. The whole story is on their shoulders. They have to have good chemistry with each other and be engaging enough for viewers to want to follow their journey. The casting for The Nativity Story is spot-on, and Keisha Castle-Hughes and Oscar Isaac deliver dynamic performances. Castle-Hughes, who has starred in TV series like Game of Thrones and Star Wars: The Bad Batch, is most celebrated for her role in the feature film Whale Rider, where she received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the age of 13. Isaac is a superbly talented actor who is able to inhabit a role with the adaptive skill of a chameleon. His roles in films like Ex Machina and Frankenstein have put him on the map in Hollywood and solidified his career as a consummate character actor.

In The Nativity Story, Castle-Hughes is endearing, believable, and captivating as Mary. Isaac is perfect as Joseph, displaying great depths of loyalty, courage, and obedience. Watching the two of them together on screen is wonderful as they try to bond and navigate their way through newlywed life under extraordinary circumstances. The three wise men, portrayed by Nadim Sawalha, Eriq Ebouaney, and Stefan Kalipha, provide jovial levity, and all of the supporting cast, including Shohreh Aghdashloo as Elizabeth and Ciarán Hinds as Herod, are terrific. The Nativity Story’s dedication to authentic cultural and historical representation is refreshing and sets this adaptation apart from its peers. When it comes to depicting this important moment in the life of Christ, The Nativity Story is unmatched in both its acting and overall cinematography.

‘The Prince of Egypt’ (1998)

DreamWorks Animation has gifted the world with some fantastic films. Titles such as How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek, and Kung Fu Panda have become fast favorites with moviegoers around the world. In 1998, they released an animated masterpiece called The Prince of Egypt. Similar to The Ten Commandments, The Prince of Egypt follows the life of Moses (Val Kilmer). The cast for the film is tremendous and includes the voice talents of Michelle Pfeiffer, Ralph Fiennes, Sandra Bullock, Danny Glover, Jeff Goldblum, Patrick Stewart, and Helen Mirren.

The animation for The Prince of Egypt is absolutely stunning. Hand-drawn images are used predominantly, with computer-generated graphics added in scenes that require it. The parting of the Red Sea is one of the most incredible scenes in animation history and took a reported two years to animate. Renowned film critic Roger Ebert called The Prince of Egypt “one of the best-looking animated films ever made,” and further commented, “The more movies I see, the more grateful I am for new films that go to the trouble of creating astonishing new images.”

In addition to the visually gorgeous aspects of the film, The Prince of Egypt boasts an Oscar-winning song in “When You Believe.” Performed by Michelle Pfeiffer and Sally Dworsky for the film, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston’s version of the song hit #15 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 1999. Hans Zimmer, the maestro behind films such as Dune: Part One and Inception, composed the beautiful score. The music of The Prince of Egypt plays an integral role in the film and includes lighthearted melodies full of texture to poignant lyrics full of drama.

Walt Disney once staked everything he had to prove that animated films could tell compelling stories. Although released by a competitor, The Prince of Egypt more than realizes his vision and proves his point. From the dedicated performances of the highly skilled actors to the award-winning music and phenomenal animation, The Prince of Egypt is an unparalleled triumph. No other biblical animated movie even comes close. The Prince of Egypt is not only one of the best movies based on Bible stories to ever be made, but one of the greatest animated movies of the last 100 years as well.

‘The Passion of the Christ’ (2004)

In 2004, director and co-writer Mel Gibson made history with The Passion of the Christ. A rated-R film depicting the crucifixion of Jesus in gory, unapologetic detail, it soon became the highest-grossing religious movie of all time, and it has the Guinness World Record to prove it. The film earned a global box office take of over $600 million.

What makes The Passion of the Christ so unique is its dedication to realism. Although English-speaking audiences were one of the main target demographics, Gibson chose to predominantly have the actors speak in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin because those were the languages of the region and time period. Gibson also chose not to pull any punches when it came to the visceral violence involved in a Roman crucifixion. Every bloody detail is allowed screen time and makes The Passion of the Christ a provocative viewing experience that few walk away from unimpacted.

Gibson and those involved with The Passion of the Christ did what, sadly, few faith-based films had done before: extensive research. The filmmakers not only took the time to learn about the subject matter in detail, but also broke Hollywood norms by refusing to whitewash the cast. Though The Passion of the Christ is not casual viewing and has its share of critics, it made waves in the entertainment industry that current successes like The Chosen and House of David are riding on now. The Passion of the Christ has become the definitive work about the crucifixion of Jesus, and every biblically based biopic released since owes it a debt of gratitude.

Sharon Stone is reminiscing on a very memorable lip-locking scene from a 1995 blockbuster!

The actress has now crowned actor Robert De Niro as the man with the golden smooch after he literally kissed her out of her shoes in their “Casino” movie.

Sharon Stone was recently in the news for the brave cause of encouraging women to embrace aging and be comfortable in their own skin, including the idea of nudity.

Sharon Stone Crowns Robert De Niro Hollywood’s Best Kisser

The actress recalled the scene during which the kissing happened when she had to go to the bathroom as a hustler and get her payment from De Niro’s character on Sirius XM’s “Radio Andy” on Wednesday, April 1. Stone played Ginger McKenna in the movie and stated that when De Niro’s character, Sam ‘Ace’ Rothstein, gave her $50, she asked for more.

“And he … reaches in and he gives me, like, $100, and then I lean over, and I kiss him,” Stone noted, revealing that it was an immaculate lip contact, but their director, Martin Scorsese, wanted more from that exchange, which they all agreed to give. In a 2020 interview, the actress speculated that the kissing scene in “Casino” was the height of on-screen kissing moments.

Stone stressed that what made it memorable was that it was with De Niro, whom she adored the most in the world, and wanted to prove that she knew exactly what she was doing. For the media personality, every other kiss on screen since then has not been able to beat the record they set in the 1995 flick.

The ‘Basic Instinct’ Actress Claimed The Actor Used To Push Her Button On Set

Despite Stone’s utter admiration for De Niro and his talent, they had really heightened moments on set where they sat across the table arguing. She recalled the actor reassuring her how much of a great actress she is and how that statement infuriated her because it was a dream to work with him, and there he was, challenging her at the table.

As stated by PEOPLE, Stone praised De Niro’s incredible observational skills as an actor, which helped him push the right buttons when it comes to her emotions and crawl under her skin to get to the point where he needs her.

DeNiro and Scorsese caught up at the movie’s 30th anniversary at the Tribeca Film Festival last June, noting that Las Vegas’ formerly mob-run landscape has been replaced by corporate capitalism. The director recognized the evolution of Vegas from an organized crime society to a more family-friendly, capitalized structure, a bit different from how the movie portrayed the city.

Sharon Stone Shone The Light On Acceptance In Her 40s

The Blast shared that the movie star confessed in an interview with Germany’s Vogue that it took her a long time to embrace her body because of the terms that were often thrown around when her career began. She noted that words like being f-kable were being used to replace one’s ability to really work and be camera-ready.

Stone added that people often described her as muscular, athletic, and masculine, which is very different from the standard in Hollywood. To fit more into the mold, the actress shared that she posed semi-nude for Playboy, and her plan worked because she landed a role in “Basic Instinct,” which earned her a spot on Sexiest Woman Alive lists.

According to the actress, “There was a point in my forties when I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door, and said, ‘I won’t get out until I can fully accept my body.” From that moment, everything switched up for the media personality, and she gained the confidence required to love her body.

The 68-Year-Old Was Applauded For Her Stance On Aging And Body Positivity

Stone shared some candid thoughts in a social media post in February, asking why people often felt reluctant to embrace how they appeared in front of the mirror and basically the whole concept of being human. The actress added that fear of performing basic human functions and being afraid of one’s own self should never be normalized.

The actress emphasized her admiration for living in her own skin every day of the week, and in any season. She continued that women are much more than their appearance, as they are also talented artists, mothers, sisters, wives, nurses, teachers, and play many other important roles.

Stone was not alone in her view; other Hollywood personalities like Courtney Love, Gal Gadot, and Patricia Arquette all agreed with her point, sending heart emojis and joining other fans to praise her for being so real.

Sharon Stone’s Episode With Stroke Spurred A Change In Her Life

The filmmaker was on host duty last January for the American Heart Association (AHA) Red Dress Collection Concert, where she shared her testimony about surviving a stroke and the result of her will to live. Stone noted that the stroke was caused by a vertebral artery bleeding into her brain for over a week, and she had almost no rehabilitation programs to help her find her way back to normal.

The Blast noted that the actress also dealt with her divorce from Phil Bronstein as she recovered, which further sent her down the pits of misery. Stone left the hospital with a large percentage of her body mass gone, her right foot nearly gone, and basically no idea of her name.

Following that episode, she was forced to realign her values by spending time with her family, getting closer to her children, and focusing on work. Stone acknowledged that battling a stroke brought her very close to heaven’s door and that demystified death to her, proving that a life well lived is the ultimate prize.

Sharon Stone knows how to keep a memory, that is for sure!
