The family of former New York Rangers legend Ron Duguay have launched a GoFundMe to raise funds amid the ice hockey player’s battle with cancer.

Created on Tuesday, February 24, by Duguay’s two daughters, Shay Thomas and Amber Stavros, whom he shares with ex-wife Robin Bobo, the GoFundMe page detailed that Duguay, 68, is flying from Florida to Orange County “every two weeks for ongoing” cancer treatment.

Speaking to Page Six on Tuesday, Duguay revealed that he “has been battling cancer for a year” after being diagnosed with “Stage 4 cancer which started in the colon.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Duguay for comment.

David Livingston/Getty Images Since going public with stage III non-Hodgkin lymphoma in November 2024, Dave Coulier has been candid about his illness, treatment and prognosis before his second diagnosis. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the patient’s lymphatic system, with “white blood cells called lymphocytes [that] grow abnormally and can form growths […]

According to the GoFundMe page, which lists Duguay as a “Co-organizer,” the athlete did not initiate the crowdfunding exercise. “Our dad has never been someone who asks for help … especially when it comes to money. He has always tried to handle everything on his own and didn’t want to burden anyone else with what he’s going through,” a description on the page read. “But after many conversations as a family, we decided to create this fundraiser for him because we’ve seen firsthand the weight this battle has placed on him, both physically and financially.”

At the time of publication, the initiative had raised nearly $21,000 from 114 donations. Its target was listed as $26,000.

The description also shed light on what Duguay has experienced in the wake of his diagnosis. It stated, “Because of his cancer, he hasn’t been able to work the way he normally would, yet he continues to fight with everything he has. Earlier in his treatment journey, the care he received in Florida nearly cost him his life. That led us to bring him to Orange County, where my sister and I live, so he could receive treatment here … and thankfully, it has helped him so far.”

John Stamos’ wife, Caitlin McHugh, is sharing a message of support for Dave Coulier amid his cancer battle. “While I do love how you use your experiences to help others, I sure hope God/the universe gives you a well-deserved break from it in the new year. ❤️❤️,” McHugh, 39, wrote in the comments section of […]

As for what the funds would specifically go towards, Duguay’s daughters provided further insight. “The cost of constant travel, along with medical care, holistic therapies, supplements, and alternative healing approaches he has committed to, has become extremely overwhelming financially,” the description continued, before noting that Duguay’s diagnosis is not slowing down.

“Recently, his cancer numbers have started to rise again, and while he continues his current treatments, we are now exploring additional treatment options outside of the United States in hopes of giving him the best possible chance,” the description read. “These treatments are very expensive and add another layer of financial strain during an already difficult time.”

Duguay, who played 12 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) including six seasons with the Rangers across two separate stints, told Page Six on Tuesday, “I find it extremely hard asking for funds for all these costs I’m going through.” He added, “Normally I’m helping others.”

Duguay, who is currently dating former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, also told the outlet that cancer “sucks the life out of you” and has proven “so freaking costly” before offering an update on his battle.

“I am going to do all the alternatives, along with the Western medicine,” Duguay said. “What I am learning I will be able to share with others … I need to get better so I can help others.”

Duguay has been dating Palin, 62, since around 2022, with the athlete including glimpses of her in his social media posts over the years.

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for The Pitt Season 2 Episode 7 and mentions sexual abuse and self-harm.

Trinity Santos (Isa Briones) contains enough layers to rival the world’s largest onion. Her rocky first impression — blunt, arrogant, rushing into grisly procedures — contrasts with her strengths, which The Pitt dispenses over time: superb intuition, an eagle eye for valuable details, and staying level-headed during a crisis. It’s ironic that her abrasive demeanor divides The Pitt‘s viewers, since Santos wields that half-hostile, half-cavalier exterior as a shield. Season 1’s finale draws her painfully sensitive interior and innate tenderness into the open; by embracing the terrifying vulnerability she’s been habitually avoiding, Santos summons enough courage to open her home to Dennis Whitaker (Gerran Howell) and bare her heart to patient Max Wilcox (Aidan Laprete).

Circa Season 2, Santos remains her fluent-in-sarcasm self but boasts a smoother beside manner, a situationship of sorts with Dr. Yolanda Garcia (Alexandra Metz), and stable footing with her colleagues. That security vanishes thanks to an unrelentingly hellish day. As Santos nears her wits’ end in Episode 7, she stumbles into a touching stolen moment with a patient who, on paper, seems like the unlikeliest candidate to receive or provide comfort. The stolen moment spotlights her exemplary caretaker nature and reveals more wrenching context about why this woman moves through the world with wary, aching weariness.

‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Is Pushing Santos to Her Breaking Point

The Pitt‘s entire ensemble has positive qualities and flaws. Perfect heroes and evil villains need not apply, only messy humans who internalize their patients’ pain alongside their personal trauma. Trinity Santos, as tightly wound as a snapping rubber band on her best day, hasn’t exactly handled Season 2 with grace. Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi) isn’t privy to the fact Santos carries the humiliating bruises Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) left, but it’s natural to assume a doctor in the trenches of her R2 year is overworked and overwhelmed. Even if Al-Hashimi’s motivations are well-meant, it’s unfair for Santos’ new superior to single her out with an unnecessary ultimatum.

Santos holds enough duality to sway between confidence and insecurity. Spiraling under pressure, it’s clearer than ever that her darkest enemies include perfectionism, self-hatred, and an acute fear of failure. Her private fears have been exposed under a microscope, and she can’t articulate this turmoil or channel it into an outlet. Her raw trauma responses keep her alive, but lashing out with incandescent fury is a habit to unlearn for the sake of her patients, her long-term health, and her loneliness — because, despite appearances, Santos longs for genuine connection. When she dares to cautiously reach out, she’s rebuffed back into an isolation born of her own making and people not bothering to look past her hidden daggers. She seems surprised when Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) reciprocates her concerns about Whitaker, but once she receives his empathetic ear, Santos abandons her normal pretenses.

Even when she’s stretched too thin, Santos profoundly cares about the people for whom she’s responsible. When she suspects a father (Patrick Mulvey) of molesting his 9-year-old daughter, Kylie (Annabelle Toomey), an automatic switch activates the sheer range of her care: attentive, protective, impulsive, and ferocious enough to fight tooth-and-nail for Kylie’s wellfare, the consequences be damned. Given the anguishing implication that powerful men have violated more than Santos’ trust, Kylie spears her to the quick. Once Mel diagnoses Phylicia Ronson (Nyaling Marenah) with bulimia, Santos drops her dismissive impatience and offers compassionate support. Conversely, her frustration over her communication barriers with Harlow Graham (Jessica ‘Limer’ Flores), a symptom of the wider infrastructure’s inadequate disability accommodations, could never justify Santos’ dehumanizing treatment of Harlow. Combine her urgent profession with personal stressors, and the collision affects certain patients to the point of near-negligence.

Santos Singing to Baby Jane Doe in ‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Episode 7 Reinforces Her Kindness

As for the mysterious abandoned baby, she couldn’t care less. To be fair, while the nurses can ignore ear-piercing wailing, it’s one strain too many for Santos’ overstimulated nerves. Forced to problem-solve, her unconventional gamble works as well as her spontaneous emergency hunches. The Pitt‘s expert in soft-hearted cynicism didn’t have this on her bingo card — soothing an infant with the Hiligaynon lullaby, “Ili-Ili, Tulog Anay.” When Baby Jane Doe seeks reassurance, her innocent hand latching onto Santos’ finger, a begrudgingly charmed Trinity drops her walls without resistance. She has nothing to hide from a newborn. For once, she can rest, focus, and just be herself — a caretaker remembering her purpose.

Santos’ serenade expands her innate softness onto a defenseless human. What’s more, the pair briefly relieving each other’s distress occurs when Santos most needs an anchor. Her innocuous deflection about therapy earlier in the season feels harrowing after glimpsing her self-harm scars. She’s a survivor with bared teeth and a fierce heart, but rather than soldier forward in unnoticed silence, she deserves safety, healing, and steadying mentors whose positive reinforcement and corrective accountability will empower her into a truly magnificent doctor.

For Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, the best days of her life may be far away from the world of reality TV.

The former Bravo star made quite the splash on Vanderpump Rules when she was a full-time cast member for seasons 9 and 10. Ultimately, Leviss chose to walk away from the show ahead of season 11 after her role in Scandoval.

Although season 11 proved to be the final season of Vanderpump Rules for the original cast, a new group of SURvers decided to share their lives with the world for season 12, which premiered in December 2025.

Through all the changes, Leviss chose to stay away from West Hollywood, California, and create a new reality for herself in Arizona.

The new Vanderpump Rules cast isn’t focused on the haters who have their doubts about the Bravo show’s reboot. “Honestly, the amount of negativity has just been overshadowed by all of the love, and it’s been so surprisingly overwhelming to feel that,” Audrey Lingle exclusively shared with Us Weekly at the Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala […]

As Vanderpump Rules wraps its season 12 finale on February 24, 2026, Us Weekly decided to check in and see what Leviss is up to now. Keep reading to learn more about her life outside of the spotlight:

What Does Rachel Leviss Do Now?

On her Instagram page, which has more than 586,000 followers as of February 2026, Rachel Leviss proclaims to be a mental health advocate in her bio.

When it comes to work, the former reality star is a certified sound bowl practitioner who is part of wellness retreats and various workshops.

“Last night we welcomed the Lunar New Year: the year of the Fire Horse 🔥🐎,” Leviss wrote via Instagram in February 2026. “A year of bold, aligned action… while staying grounded and rooted in integrity. We set intentions to call in vibrant health, deep strength and true abundance.”

Where Does Rachel Leviss Live Now?

It appears Rachel Leviss’ sound bowl business is based out of Arizona. In August 2024, the Bravo star explained what it was like living outside of Los Angeles.

“It was almost like I had to reach this unhealthy level of toxicity in order to make a change in my life. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to step out of that,” she told Us. “I don’t think L.A. is all bad, but being in certain environments could bring out the worst in a person. So now when I go visit Santa Monica, I have new friends and there’s a common theme [such as] spirituality and not drinking. It’s a much healthier social circle that I’m in in L.A.”

Is Rachel Leviss Dating?

In October 2024, Rachel Leviss confirmed that she was in a new relationship with a “normal” person. The man’s identity was later revealed to be Jason Boucher.

In April 2025, Leviss went Instagram official with Boucher when she posted photos of them cozying up at the Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, California.

While the couple tries to keep their relationship away from social media, Boucher posted a photo of his girlfriend in November 2025 while on vacation in Mexico.

“Every time I describe him to my friends, I say that he’s normal and I show them a photo of him. They’re, like, ‘Wow, he does look normal.’ It’s such an accomplishment,” Leviss shared on an October 2024 episode of iHeartRadio’s “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast. “Given my dating history, normal was not necessarily something that I was looking for in somebody else. He’s just such a supportive person and I just feel really happy.”

What Happened to Rachel Leviss’ Podcast?

Initially, Rachel Leviss teamed up with executive producer Bethenny Frankel to create the “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast. Every week, Leviss promised to explore a spectrum of topics with authenticity.

“She will passionately cultivate candid conversations, breaking the fourth wall in reality TV and frankly discussing living her entire dating life on camera,” iHeartRadio said in a press release. “Leviss will aspire to inspire, bring awareness to mental health issues and challenge the stigma surrounding treatment. Every topic is on the table with Rachel confronting her truths, exposing secrets and drawing strength from her continued transformations.”

After 65 episodes, Leviss chose to step away from the show in October 2024.

“I would like to thank my team and partnership with iHeart,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “A special thanks to all the incredible guests who came on to share their expertise. Most importantly, I would like to thank everyone who gave the podcast a listen and hopefully had a positive experience.”

Rachel Leviss has found love with Jason Boucher. After her infamous affair with Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Sandoval in 2023 and a short-lived romance with Matthew Dunn, Levis shared in October 2024 that she was in a healthy relationship with a “normal guy.” “It’s very healthy and he’s very normal,” Leviss revealed on an episode of […]

What Does Rachel Leviss’ Friend Group Look Like? 

In August 2024, Rachel Leviss acknowledged that building a new social circle as an adult can be difficult. Fortunately, she found a great group of friends through yoga.

“There’s just so much love there and it’s so easy to get along with everybody. [It’s] so drama-free and everyone has just been super welcoming,” she told Us. “This is how it should be like. It should be healthy friendships. It shouldn’t really be people tearing each other down in order to get power over one another. I feel like I was in that dynamic and that dysfunctional friend group for so long that that did feel normal to me. Now I have these new friends that have been friends for years and they have such a close connection.”

The sci-fi genre has grown by leaps, bounds, and subgenres over the last century. It often feels as though directors and screenwriters are constantly coming up with new universes, situations, characters, weapons, and gadgets that make the ones that came before more obsolete, with a plethora of fresh ideas always on the ready. In 1987, one of these universes was dreamt up when filmmaker Joel McTiernan paired with writing siblings Jim and John Thomas for the Arnold Schwarzenegger-led Predator. The idea of humans clashing with aliens wasn’t a new one, but the way the creative team filled out the story, molded their characters, and crafted their antagonist certainly was.

Since then, audiences have been treated to a multitude of stories within the Predator universe and have even watched the universe’s most talented hunter take on a foe worthy of its time in two Alien vs. Predator movies. Most recently, frequent franchise helmer Dan Trachtenberg took fans on a brand-new kind of journey that put the Predator (also known as Yautja) in the hot seat as an incredibly vulnerable target on a wildly dangerous planet in Predator: Badlands. After knocking it out of the park for Disney at the global box office, the Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi-fronted film has been back in headlines over the last week thanks to its monstrous takeover of Hulu.

‘Predator: Badlands’ Predecessor Is Staking Its Streaming Claim

Breaking the record previously held by its predecessor, Prey, Predator: Badlands now holds the bragging rights of being the streamer’s number one film premiere after earning nearly 9 million views during its first five days on the platform. But now, Prey is making a comeback to assert its claim, as FlixPatrol shows the title is climbing Hulu’s global Top 10. Right now, Prey is holding down the third spot on the sought-after list, clocking in just behind Carlos Saldanha’s 2011 animated flick, Rio, and Predator: Badlands. With all eyes hooked on where Trachtenberg previously took the franchise, we’d be surprised if the director’s other recent release, the adult animated and blood-filled feature, Predator: Killer of Killers, didn’t make an appearance in the upcoming days.

While Predator fans were lucky to have two movies from the franchise come out in just one year, the waiting game now starts over as we patiently hang on to hear what Trachtenberg has up his sleeves next. For now, head over to Hulu to stream both Prey and Predator: Badlands as well as Predator: Killer of Killers.

If this is your mission during the winter-to-spring transition, now’s the perfect time to stock up on quiet luxury pieces. Made with tailored designs and premium-looking fabric, these clothes unlock a massive glow-up . . . and you can find […]

Comfy Jeans & Trousers 

8. Favorite Pair Ever: No matter if your style leans Western or you just want a longer silhouette, a great pair of bootcut jeans will flatter, lengthen and work with nearly everything. This Quince pick also looks and feels just as luxe as competitors like Mother and Veronica Beard.

9. Workwear Staple: These expensive-looking trousers have a pintuck seam down the front, which gives them the illusion of being pressed and well-tailored. The best part: they’re actually cozy pull-on pants.

10. Expensive Vibes: If there’s a fail‑safe piece that always looks elevated, it’s high‑waist cropped pants. This colorful, well-tailored option looks like it could be from any number of high-end designers, from The Row to Theory.

15. Spring Staple: This best-selling linen shirt dress is a major player in our spring and summer wardrobe, and for good reason: it nails that balance of relaxed and tailored. It’s also incredibly stylish without even trying.

Everyday Shoes & Accessories

18. Nineties Feel: A perfect marriage between feminine and masculine style, a chunky slip‑on loafer is the sort of understated statement shoe that always reads high‑end. We especially love the bow detail on this patent leather piece.

19. Country-Club Chic: This monochrome Italian suede sneaker draws comparisons to pricier picks from designers like Tory Burch, and we’re obsessed. It’s a fashion basic that nails that refined, rich-mom vibe.

20. Same Style For Less: At first glance, this structured black crossbody looks like it’s from Coach, but the sleek silhouette and minimal hardware are actually a great high‑end alternative. It’s a match-everything accessory we’re tempted to gift to ourselves and to our besties.
