Between the lavish girls trip and Todd showing love from afar, social media users said Kandi’s birthday celebration is truly giving healed, happy, and thriving energy.
“Happy Birthday [Kandi] wow the big 50! Welcome to the club,” he said in a post of Kandi. “I wish you good health, wealth, peace and happiness. Have fun! Turn up! F**k it have a drink lol! Live this s**t we only get to do it once! Happy Birthday!,” Tucker shared.

House of the Dragon Season 3 promises to be bigger than ever as it builds on Season 2’s contentious ending. As Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) seek to claim the throne, the second season escalates the war, going from political divisions to full-on dragon battles, showing the ruthless lengths they will go to. Named heir by her father, Rhaenyra searches for allies who will honor their oaths, while Aegon relies on Westeros’ patriarchal society. But war is inevitable, and when dragons fight, no one is safe.
Following the news of her second son’s death in Season 1, Rhaenyra takes her dragon to find Lucerys’ (Elliot Grihault) remains, though there isn’t much for her to grieve over. Meanwhile, Jacaerys (Harry Collett) hears the news about his brother while recruiting allies. He returns home to mourn and confirms that both House Stark and House Arryn will support Rhaenyra. In King’s Landing, the Greens face a different type of chaos. Hiding her affair with Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel), Alicent (Olivia Cooke) tries to temper Aegon’s instincts, hoping for peace. But with a blockade threatening King’s Landing, the men are ready for war, particularly Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) and Aegon, though Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) urges patience. Yet the biggest danger to the Greens is Aegon’s inability to grasp political nuance, evident when he listens to his citizens’ complaints and rejects Otto’s advice.
Daemon (Matt Smith), determined to take action, seeks help from Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno), who has arrived on Dragonstone as a stowaway. In exchange for her freedom, she helps Daemon plot revenge. Sneaking into King’s Landing, Daemon recruits a member of the City Watch and a castle ratcatcher to go through the tunnels and kill Aemond, but he isn’t home. Instead, the two men kill Aegon’s young son, Jaehaerys, and torment Helaena (Phia Saban) in the process. In the aftermath, Otto uses the tragedy to their advantage, blaming Rhaenyra and turning the public against her with a public procession. Larys Strong (Matthew Needham) helps Aegon track down the culprits. Aegon kills the Goldcloak responsible, but, after being unable to trace the other, he orders all the city’s ratcatchers hanged. When Otto confronts Aegon about this, Aegon removes his grandfather as Hand of the King, replacing him with Criston. Elsewhere, Rhaenyra discovers Daemon’s role in the tragedy, and they argue. As the old wound of Viserys (Paddy Considine) choosing Rhaenyra over him resurfaces, Daemon flies away on his dragon.
Criston hopes to follow Daemon’s lead in seeking revenge, sending the Kingsguard knight Ser Arryk Cargyll (Luke Tittensor) to kill Rhaenyra while impersonating his twin, Erryk (Elliott Tittensor), who previously swore loyalty to the Blacks. However, Mysaria, whom Rhaenyra has begrudgingly allowed to leave, sees Arryk arrive and grows suspicious, then returns to Dragonstone. Arryk makes it to Rhaenyra uncontested, but before he can kill her, Erryk intervenes. The brothers fight until Erryk kills Arryk, but Arryk immediately takes his own life in grief. The only benefit of the confrontation is Rhaenyra’s newfound trust in Mysaria, who becomes an ally.
On Rhaenys’ (Eve Best) advice, Rhaenyra seeks to make peace with Alicent before the body count gets higher. She sneaks into King’s Landing disguised as a septa, but Alicent believes the violence has gone too far. While Rhaenyra doesn’t negotiate peace, she uncovers the truth behind her father’s last words. While Viserys’ mutterings about Aegon previously convinced Alicent he wanted his son as heir, Rhaenyra recognizes the reference to Aegon’s Prophecy. Reassured by her father’s faith, Rhaenyra shares the truth of the prophecy with Jacaerys.
Daemon’s control of Harrenhal is crucial, as the always-feuding Brackens and Blackwoods have the first battle, making the Riverlands the conflict’s center. Harrenhal’s castellan, Simon Strong (Simon Russell Beale), surrenders to Daemon instantly, but the haunted castle torments him, driving him mad with visions of young Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock), Viserys, and more. Somehow, these connect to the weirwood tree and the witch Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin), adding to their mystery.
While in Harrenhal, Daemon oversteps his authority, naming himself as king rather than Rhaenyra’s consort. He struggles to build an army since the Riverlands’ leader, Lord Tully, is dying and unable to help. Instead, he makes a deal with Willem Blackwood (Jack Parry-Jones), offering to punish the Brackens in exchange for support. This proves a challenge, so Daemon suggests the Blackwoods use more brutal methods, alienating the River Lords. This misstep leads Daemon back to the Tullys and their new lord, Oscar (Archie Barnes), who fearlessly acknowledges Daemon’s failures. He agrees to keep his family’s oath to Rhaenyra if Daemon dispenses justice to Willem Blackwood. With little choice, Daemon carries out Willem’s death sentence, finally winning over the River Lords.
George R.R. Martin’s Least Favorite Game of Thrones Series Is Officially One of the Best
The penultimate season premieres this month.
The Dance of the Dragons begins in earnest when Criston takes his army through the Crownlands, attacking the castles of Rhaenyra’s supporters on the way to Rook’s Rest, following a strategy that Aegon is unaware of. After Aemond embarrasses him at a council meeting, Aegon decides to fly Sunfyre into the battle. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra learns of the plan and sends Rhaenys on Meleys. Though the battle has begun, the dragons’ arrival makes it even bloodier. While Meleys and Sunfyre clash, Aemond hides and waits with Vhagar, but he enters the fight, attacking his brother rather than his enemy. Aegon and Sunfyre crash, and Vhagar finishes the fight as Rhaenys dies with her dragon. The fight decimates the soldiers, but Criston escapes to find Aegon, who barely survived his fall.
Following the battle, Rhaenyra feels like she’s losing control, while Jace is determined to take action. Realizing that the Stark men will need the Freys’ crossing to get to the Riverlands, he negotiates, offering Harrenhal in exchange for the Northmen’s passage and their loyalty. Though Rhaenyra doesn’t approve of his leaving, she appreciates his accomplishment in gaining her an army. Meanwhile, Corlys (Steve Toussaint) struggles with the loss of his wife, while Rhaenyra sends Baela (Bethany Antonia) to ask him to be her Hand. She talks him into the new role, though she refuses to become his heir. However, Corlys’ family trouble isn’t over. Throughout the season, Corlys gets to know his secret bastard son, Alyn of Hull (Abubakar Salim). Corlys makes Alyn his first mate, but Alyn wants nothing to do with his father. In contrast, Alyn’s brother, Addam (Clinton Liberty), feels Corlys owes them more recognition.
After Aemond turns on Aegon, the Greens have plenty of problems, but one challenge grows throughout King’s Landing. As seen through Hugh’s (Kieran Bew) story, the smallfolk are starving due to the blockade preventing supplies from getting to the city. Worse, they are trapped inside to stop the discontent from spreading. Rhaenyra seeds rumors about the Greens and sends food to the people, inciting riots in her name. Alicent and Helaena get caught in the chaos while visiting the Sept, forcing them to see the unrest right outside their door.
Inside the castle, Aemond becomes regent due to Aegon’s injuries and demands total authority. He sends Criston to Harrenhal with too small a host and kicks Alicent off the council. He also hopes to make Otto Hand, but gets no response. Yet Aegon isn’t dead. Though Aegon claims he doesn’t remember the battle, Aemond continues to threaten his brother. However, Larys remains Aegon’s loyal ally, as they bond over their disabilities. Larys encourages Aegon to rely on his mind and pushes him to recover more quickly from his injuries.
On Aemond’s orders, Tyland Lannister (Jefferson Hall) recruits the Triarchy of the Free Cities for the Greens’ naval force, agreeing to give them the much-disputed Stepstones for their help. Before securing their allegiance, he must impress Admiral Lohar (Abigail Thorn) in a mud wrestling match. Simultaneously, Criston marches to Harrenhal, but on the way, Alicent’s brother, Gwayne (Freddie Fox), confronts him about his relationship with Alicent. Criston’s confession reveals his despair after the devastation at the Battle of Rook’s Rest, painting a bleak picture.
To beat Vhagar, Jace proposes finding riders for their unclaimed dragons. After referring to her family tree, Rhaenyra asks her Kingsguard knight, Ser Steffon Darklyn (Anthony Flanagan), to claim Seasmoke, but he dies in the attempt. Mysaria encourages a hopeless Rhaenyra, and they kiss, hinting at a deeper relationship. Meanwhile, Seasmoke chooses Addam of Hull as his rider, despite him having no known Targaryen lineage. Addam swears to serve Rhaenyra, who begins looking for Targaryen bastards to claim the remaining dragons. This plan angers Jace, whose legitimacy is tied to his dragon, but Baela encourages Jace to prove himself by fighting for his mother.
In King’s Landing, Rhaenyra’s message attracts many reluctant participants, including Ulf (Tom Bennett). Hugh also goes, as his mother was a Targaryen. When the group arrives, Rhaenyra has them face Vermithor, but he rejects the first bastard to approach him. It’s a bloodbath, as most participants die, but when Hugh protects a young girl from the dragon, Vermithor bonds with him. During the chaos, Ulf escapes, only to encounter Silverwing, who chooses him, giving Rhaenyra two more dragonriders. Ulf takes a joyride over King’s Landing, and Aemond pursues him on Vhagar, only to flee when he sees Rhaenyra’s new advantage.
Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell) isn’t a dragonrider, but she plays an important role by taking Rhaenyra’s younger sons to the Vale to ensure Jeyne Arryn’s (Amanda Collin) allegiance. With two small dragons and several unhatched eggs, Rhaena must convince Jeyne that they have met her condition of a dragon’s protection, but Jeyne isn’t pleased. Rhaena learns this is because a wild dragon roams the Vale, and rather than accompanying the baby Targaryens to safety in Pentos, Rhaena searches for the beast, eventually finding it at the end of the season.
House of the Dragon‘s Season 2 finale leaves everyone in a precarious place. When Aemond destroys a city in anger, Larys advises Aegon to flee before becoming Aemond’s next target. Aegon would rather take back control, but he cannot win without Vhagar, so he takes Larys’ advice, planning to return for the crown. Meanwhile, Aemond demands that Helaena fight for their side on her dragon, Dreamfyre, to give them an advantage over Rhaenyra’s numbers. She refuses, revealing that through her ability to dream the future, she knows Aegon will be king and Aemond will die, angering her brother even more.
Helaena isn’t the only one to see the future, as Alys takes Daemon to the godswood, where he sees flashes of the future, including Brenden Rivers (Joshua Ben-Tovim), the White Walkers, dead dragons, himself drowning, Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) hatching dragons, and Rhaenyra on the Iron Throne. This changes Daemon’s course of action. When Rhaenyra hears that Daemon may betray her, she flies to Harrenhal to find Daemon and his army kneeling before her. Finally accepting Viserys’ choice of Rhaenyra, Daemon prepares to go to battle for her claim to the Iron Throne.
Season 2’s last moments do the most to set up the next installment. Alicent’s growing doubts and guilt help her realize her desire to escape war, so she offers to give Rhaenyra King’s Landing as soon as Aemond leaves. Once Alicent agrees to sacrifice Aegon, Rhaenyra agrees to her plan, but the war is already in motion. The Greens’ Oldtown forces, accompanied by Daeron Targaryen’s dragon, Tessarion, and their Lannister host, head to the Riverlands. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra’s Northmen cross the Freys’ land, and somewhere, Otto is being held captive. The Triarchy sets sail, as does Corlys’ fleet, leaving both land and sea primed for war in Season 3.
House of the Dragon is streaming on HBO Max, with Season 3 premiering on June 21.

Gwyneth Paltrow knows how to do a European summer! The Goop founder was recently spotted soaking up the sun in the kind of crystal-blue water that quickly makes you rethink your own vacation plans. And the outfit she chose for the occasion? A simple white string bikini that looked effortlessly chic against the Mediterranean backdrop.
On June 15, Paltrow was photographed lounging aboard a yacht in Sardinia, Italy, wearing the timeless swimwear staple.

Get the Suvimuga Halter String Two Piece Bikini Set for $25 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
The best part about Paltrow’s look is how achievable it actually is. You don’t need her celebrity budget to channel that yacht-day glamour — you just need a quality white triangle bikini. The swimsuit style works just as well for community pool days and beach trips as it does for the Italian vacation you keep daydreaming about.
While we don’t know Paltrow’s exact pick, the Suvimuga Halter String Two Piece Bikini Set gives you the same vibe at a fraction of designer prices. It’s a halter-style triangle bikini with tie closures at the neck and back, so you can adjust the fit to flatter your shape. The removable padded cups add support, and the Brazilian cut is elongating, giving you model-like stems.
Shoppers are just as impressed. The bikini has earned more than 9,500 five-star ratings, with one reviewer praising “how flattering the cut” is. Another said the Brazilian-style suit creates “very small tan lines” while still offering enough coverage to feel comfortable.
The Amazon alternative comes in classic white like Paltrow’s, but if you want options, there are also black, red and blue, plus several colorful prints to choose from. Sizes range from XS to XXL.
Whether you’re headed to the beach, planning a tropical getaway, or simply updating your swim drawer for summer, this $25 bikini delivers the same timeless, yacht-ready energy as Paltrow’s vacation look.

Legal dramas and cop thrillers have taken no prisoners in the last few years in their conquest to take the streaming world by storm. Nearly every streaming service now has a flagship property in each of the genres — for Prime Video, it’s Bosch, the hit cop series starring Titus Welliver. Welliver has led two different Bosch shows, and now there’s a Ballard spin-off returning next month, as well as a Start of Watch prequel led by Cameron Monaghan. Over on Netflix, Bosch fans have found themselves enjoying The Lincoln Lawyer, the hit legal thriller starring Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. While there are plenty of differences between the shows to pick apart, they have so many overarching fans due to both being inspired by the writings of legendary crime author Michael Connelly.
Matthew McConaughey also brought The Lincoln Lawyer to life on the big screen back in 2011, but most fans would agree that the Netflix series is a much more faithful adaptation of Connelly’s source material. Netflix’s Lincoln Lawyer series first premiered back in 2022, and the streamer has consistently released new seasons of the show almost every year since. A few weeks before The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 came out this year, Netflix picked up the show for Season 5 before later announcing that it would be the final season of the series.
There are eight books in The Lincoln Lawyer series, starting with The Lincoln Lawyer (2005) and leading to The Proving Ground (2025).
Collider’s Maggie Lovitt recently had a chance to chat with The Lincoln Lawyer writer and creator Ted Humphrey for Collider’s Dad TV Streaming Guide. When asked if fans would feel like the story is “complete” after watching the ending, he told Collider: “The answer that you’ve teed up so very nicely is yes. That was the most important thing.” He admitted that “we could have kept this show going for another season or two, and we had ideas to do that. But, we are very grateful to Netflix for giving us the opportunity to wrap the show up correctly.”
Humphrey continued, speaking about how most network shows are never given the chance to wrap things up properly before being canceled mid-story:
“It’s a luxury that you have in the streaming universe that you didn’t generally have on network TV, which is the luxury of knowing in advance, and because we knew in advance, we were able to craft what we feel is a very satisfying ending to the show, one that hopefully can propel, potentially, some of our characters into new arenas, but that will also leave the audience feeling like they’ve watched a five-part thing that has come to an organic, and satisfying, and, hopefully, fulfilling conclusion.”
Netflix has not set a date yet for The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5, but the show is expected to return next year around the same time that the last season came out. Production on The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5 kicked off a few months ago, not long after all episodes of the fourth season were dropped on Netflix, and it’s expected to wrap sometime later in the summer. With Humphrey teasing characters going into “new arenas,” though, it’s hard not to be excited about the potential for future spin-offs out of the Lincoln Lawyer universe. The show could follow in Bosch’s footsteps and develop a spin-off focused on a character soon to be introduced in the final season.
Check out the first four seasons of The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the fifth and final season.

Tom Clancy is no longer with us, but his extensive novel series of military fiction, centered on CIA analyst Jack Ryan and Special Forces operative John Clark, continues to be a gold mine for Hollywood adaptations. The Hunt for Red October is the best submarine movie of the last 40 years, Patriot Games was one of Harrison Ford’s best action movies of the 90s, and John Krasinski’s Amazon series, Jack Ryan, is a smash hit. Notably absent to longtime Clancy fans is that one of his best novels has yet to be adapted. It’s been almost 30 years, and there’s still no Rainbow Six adaptation.

Before Rainbow Six became a wildly successful video game series, it was Tom Clancy’s 11th novel, and in the Clancyverse, this was like the Avengers getting together. The elite counterterrorism unit Rainbow, named because it was comprised of the best of the best from NATO member countries, was formed as a rapid response strike force. Led by John Clarke and his son-in-law, Domingo “Ding” Chavez, they stopped a bank robbery, a hostage situation, and took out a secret cabal of the global elite. All in one book.
Amazon teased fans with the establishment of Rainbow during Jack Ryan Season 4. Michael Pena, as “Ding” Chavez, was clearly being set up as the team’s field leader. Michael B. Jordan was already established as the new John Clark in the streaming adaptation of Without Remorse, and though he’s significantly younger then the Clark of the novels at the point Rainbow is established, he’s Michael B. Jordan, he’d kill in the role. As with so many backdoor pilots over the years, it would seem Amazon has quietly killed the Rainbow Six spin-off.

Instead of giving fans the adaptation they want, Amazon produced the streaming movie Jack Ryan: Ghost War, a continuation of the series that ended in 2023. It’s a shadow of what the series was, and wastes Krasinski’s performance, but it was also meant to be a feature film release. In theaters that is, instead of debuting on Amazon Prime. That’s a sign of the problem at Amazon that’s keeping the world from experiencing Rainbow Six.
In order to figure out what Amazon wants to do with the Clancyverse, fans may need the services of Rainbow’s psychologist, Dr. Paul Bellow, who’s so good at his job the members of Rainbow think he may be a mind reader. Does Amazon want to make more series, feature films, or streaming movies? Rainbow Six was going to be a series, and then retooled into a movie, then there was no news for months.
The closest fans have to a status update is from Michael Pena. When asked by fans, Pena alluded to rights issues with some of the characters, including “Ding” Chavez, as to why the adaptation wasn’t moving forward. Rainbow Six was a best-selling novel, a blockbuster video game series still going today, and it would be perfect for a series or a movie, but pick one. Fans have waited over 30 years to see the Basque terrorists realize they made a horrible mistake at the amusement park, and the Horizon Corporation is the perfect villain in 2026.
Until Amazon figures out what it’s doing, you can binge Jack Ryan again, run through Harrison Ford’s 90s films, and if you have to, check out Ben Affleck’s take on Jack Ryan in The Sum of All Fears.
Beatriz Hatz entered the “Love Island” villa in Fiji hoping to find love. However, her time on the popular Peacock reality show came to an end nearly a week ago, as the Paralympic medalist was sent packing after co-star Corbin Mims was forced to save either her or Melanie Moreno. After her departure, Hatz, 25, spoke with Ciara Miller about her time on the show on an episode of “Aftersun.” Now, in a new interview, the Colorado native is spilling even more tea about her “Love Island” experience.

Before she was dumped from the island, Hatz had a connection with Sean Reifel before coupling up with day one bombshell Gabriel Vasconcelos. Throughout her time in the villa, Hatz and Vasconcelos bonded over their cultural similarities, resulting in a union that some “Love Island” viewers believed was among the strongest on the show.
After Hatz was sent packing, though, Vasconcelos immediately coupled up with Jennifer (Jen) Terry and even shared a passionate kiss with her the same night. Speaking with PEOPLE, Hatz said that Vasconcelos’ actions caught her “off guard,” but said that she couldn’t blame him for playing the game.
“I can’t really fault him for moving on. You’re in the villa, you’re supposed to. I don’t want to harp on that, and I don’t want it to change the way that I viewed him,” she said.

Before leaving the villa, Hatz implied that she’d wait for Vasconcelos in the outside world. Today, however, she’s singing a different tune, telling the outlet that rekindling things might be off the table.
“I don’t know if we would rekindle anything,” she said. “I know I left and I said, ‘Oh yeah, you know where to find me,’ but he seems to be building a strong connection currently and that’s all I would want for him. So who knows what’s going to happen.”

While Hatz bumped heads with a few of the islanders, including Melanie Moreno, her feuds with her co-stars weren’t the hardest part of filming the series—it was getting dolled up every night.
“Wearing dresses every day and having to do my makeup in the daytime and the nighttime was very surprising,” she said. “I think I don’t really wear a lot of makeup in the daytime because I’m working out all day. I’m on the track, but then maybe when I go out at night out with my friends, I’ll throw on some pants, some baggy pants and a cute crop top and maybe some sneakers or some cute kitten heels. I’m pretty low-key.”
Hatz explained that wearing dresses and fancy shoes added another layer of difficulty to the process for her. “I can’t move the way I want. You have to sit differently,” she said, adding that she was the “most athletic” girl on the cast, and being around a group of feminine women made her feel like a “tomboy.”

Hatz appeared on an episode of “Aftersun” with Reifel, who spoke openly about being blasted by his former employer, the mayor of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
According to a previous report from The Blast, Mayor William J. Reynolds felt some type of way about Reifel leaving his job as a police officer to film the series, while Bethlehem’s police chief said she was “disappointed” in the 29-year-old.
Reifel responded to their statements, calling them “interesting” before revealing he had a lengthy conversation with his employer about where he was going and why he wanted to request unpaid leave.
“It does bother me because they – just before I left – gave me awards for like, with my partners, taking a lady out of a building on fire and talking someone off a roof that was mentally ill. So, to give me those, and then do something like this? I just don’t understand,” the father of one said.

Before all of that, drama had reached the “Love Island” villa prior to the new season even starting, as cast member Vasana Montgomery was removed from the series after previous videos of her using a racial slur resurfaced.
A new episode of “Love Island” airs tonight, June 19, on Peacock at 9 PM ET.
Anne Hathaway has millions of fans thanks to her expansive acting catalog, but her husband, Adam Shulman, has always felt like home.
“I knew from the second I met him that he was the love of my life,” Hathaway told Harper’s Bazaar UK in February 2013, less than one year after they got married.
The Princess Diaries star recalled telling a mutual friend of theirs, “I’m going to marry that man,” soon after they first crossed paths. “I think he thought I was a little nuts, which I am a bit, but I’m also nice,” she teased.
Hathaway — who announced in June 2026 that she is expecting her third baby with Shulman — isn’t the only one who is happy she met her match in the jewelry designer.
Her Devil Wears Prada 2 costar Emily Blunt told Elle in March 2017 that Shulman “has been Annie’s greatest achievement in many ways. He’s sort of home away from the storm of fame that she lives with.”
Blunt gushed, “Being with the right person has been a major part of her growth, but I don’t think she cares as much anymore. That’s something both of us feel now: Who f***ing cares? You get to a point where the stuff that you used to sweat just doesn’t matter. It’s a great place to be.”
Scroll down to learn more about Hathaway’s husband:
After growing up in New York, Shulman attended Brown University. He graduated in 2003 with a bachelor’s of arts in theater.

Shulman is a man of many talents, one of which is working as a jewelry designer. His brand is called James Banks Design, which according to its website makes handmade pieces from recycled materials in Southern California.
Shulman’s greatest work might be designing Hathaway’s emerald-shaped diamond engagement ring, which he proposed with in November 2011. In September 2024, Shulman released a Butterfly Bag red handbag in collaboration with Peter Nitz, and Hathaway was one of the first to celebrate.
“Proud wife alert: I thought you all might like to know that Adam aka @jamesbanksdesign has some new work out,” she wrote via Instagram at the time.
Shulman had a five-episode arc on American Dreams in 2005, playing Paul O’Bannon. He made a cameo on The West Wing one year later before starring in 2007’s The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning TV movie. Shulman can also be seen in 2008’s The Gold Lunch short film and 2015’s Ricki and the Flash as a Total Foods customer.

Shulman met Hathaway at the Palm Spring Film Festival in April 2008, and they began dating that November. The pair got engaged in November 2011, tying the knot in September 2012.
The couple exchanged vows in Big Sur, California, surrounded by family and friends.
In addition to being in front of the camera from time to time, Shulman has worked behind the scenes alongside his wife. The pair first collaborated on 2014’s Song One, an indie drama film in which Hathaway played Franny.
“At first, I was curious how it would go. People always say don’t work with your spouse. But I loved working with him,” Hathaway told People at the time of partnering with Shulman. “He’s really good at this, and he’s a wonderful producer. And I feel like I actually learned a lot from him in the process.”
Shulman is set to work as an executive producer on the upcoming series Fear Not, which is in pre-production, according to IMDB.
The Devil Wears Prada actress welcomed her first child with Shulman, son Jonathan, in March 2016.
“As was to be expected, he is spectacular,” Hathaway told Entertainment Tonight of her husband’s parenting two months after she gave birth.
The couple welcomed their second child, son Jack, in November 2019.
Hathaway announced in June 2026 that she is pregnant with her and Shulman’s third baby. “x Baby I’m yours x,” she captioned an Instagram video, showing off her baby bump.

The Oscar winner revealed during a 2023 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show that she and Shulman have matching ink.
“We have this thing, it’s actually a tattoo, and the idea is that individually we’re whole, but together we’re more,” Hathaway explained, revealing the letter “M” tattooed on her left wrist. “And so I think it’s just that thing [where] I don’t expect him to complete me and he doesn’t expect me to complete him.”
She added, “I’m my own person. He’s his own person and we choose to be together because we believe we make each other better. And this union is something we both want to participate in.”
Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams‘ husband, is facing intense public backlash after defending his presence at the recent White House UFC event, where a combatant directed an insult at a former First Lady.
The prominent investor attempted to clarify his reasons for being at the sports arena by highlighting his corporate connections and previous social activism.
However, his explanation failed to satisfy critics, who immediately condemned his choices and expressed concern for his household, given the racist undertones of the event.

Ohanian posted a message on X, explaining that while he considered the fighter’s remark about Michelle Obama to be completely offensive, he only attended the sports event because he received an official invitation from high-level corporate executives.
“Lot of people asking me to comment: Yes, that fighter’s slur about former First Lady Michelle Obama was vile and inappropriate,” he wrote. “I was already on my way home when those comments were made and was glad to see Dana condemn them.”
Despite his explanation, social media users fiercely attacked his decision to participate in the event, with one individual stating, “Have you ever heard the word No. It’s a complete sentence… shame on you for so many reasons. But I feel bad for your wife and child.”
Eager commentators expressed deep disappointment, with another user declaring, “as a White man married to a Black woman and the father of two Black girls, your a-s shouldn’t have attended that klan fest PERIOD.”
Another comment read, “You could have declined that invite, despite your relation to the sports world. Not a great look.”
Many concluded that the hostile environment directly reflected a deep disrespect for his own loved ones, destroying their previous positive perception of him.

The public outrage directed at Ohanian directly follows a broader wave of national criticism aimed at the sports event’s host.
The mixed martial arts tournament, officially dubbed the “UFC Freedom 250,” took place on the South Lawn of the White House as part of a joint celebration for a major national milestone and Trump’s 80th birthday.
The main source of tension occurred during a post-fight victory interview, when Josh Hokit, who secured a win over his opponent, referred to the former First Lady as a man, as reported by The Blast.
Rather than displaying immediate disapproval, Trump “appeared to show a half-smile” immediately following the fighter’s unexpected comment. This reaction provoked massive public indignation from people who slammed the president for “normalizing hate.”

Trump’s reaction at the tournament aligns with a documented pattern of public hostility directed at the former presidential family.
Months before the sports event, he utilized his personal social media network to endorse highly controversial statements targeting the Obamas, written by media personality Laura Loomer.
Loomer’s statements heavily criticized former national security adviser Susan Rice and the former first family, per The Blast.
The message Trump endorsed explicitly warned the public that Netflix would broadcast biased messaging from the former president and his spouse, whom the post openly labeled an “anti-white racist” woman.

While Ohanian was bashed for his presence at the UFC event, he has been praised for standing up for his wife, Williams.
Earlier this year, the legendary tennis star was accused of intentionally altering her skin tone after she shared pictures of herself and her family.
The Blast reported that Ohanian quickly defended her, writing, “Where are all the comments from idiots who don’t understand how photography lighting works?”
When an online user argued that his defense was merely an attempt to dismiss legitimate observations, the businessman immediately clapped back, stating, “Or: photos from the same event can look different based on lighting.”

Ohanian’s unwavering support for his wife was similarly on display as he was present to watch her iconic comeback to tennis. After Williams’ lengthy four-year absence from competitive sports, she made her highly anticipated return to the court at the prestigious Queen’s Club Championship in London.
The major international tournament quickly turned into a celebratory family gathering as Ohanian sat alongside their two young daughters, Olympia and Adira, to proudly cheer Williams on from the stands.
Williams teamed up with Victoria Mboko, and together, the duo secured a dominant straight-sets victory against their opponents, per The Blast.
Roomies, it looks like Anne Hathaway has some major news to share! The actress had social media doing a double take after she popped out in a new video looking absolutely radiant. While fans initially focused on her all-white look and signature smile, it didn’t take long before they realized there was something else stealing the spotlight.
Anne Hathaway is expecting her third child! The 43-year-old actress confirmed the news in an Instagram video posted Friday, June 19, where she stepped into frame wearing a flowing white skirt set with her arms folded across her midsection before dropping them to reveal her growing baby bump. Hathaway smiled at the camera as Barbara Lewis’ 1965 hit ‘Baby, I’m Yours’ played in the background. She kept the caption simple, writing, “Baby, I’m yours.” A representative for the actress later confirmed the pregnancy to ABC News.
Fans ran straight to TSR’s comment section, and things got roomy real quick. Some made it clear that they do not play about Anne Hathaway, while others joked that a new heir to the throne was on the way, referencing her iconic role as Princess Mia in ‘The Princess Diaries.’ Plenty of commenters also kept it sweet, flooding the post with congratulations and well wishes for the growing family.
One Instagram user @10f3strong said, “One of thee most unproblematic white people! I love me some Princess Mia!!!”
This Instagram user @itsbritnihunny shared, “35 year old me beaming because I know | still have time.”
And, Instagram user @imjst_kari wrote, “Princess diaries is having a babyyyy”
Then Instagram user @caffeinatedcusswords joked, “We’re getting the heir to the Genovian Throne”
While Instagram user @juststaysee said, “Omg I need the next princess diary with the babyyyyyyyyyyy lol congrats!”
Finally, Instagram user @ladiescanbethugstwo added, “Omggggggggg not the princess becoming the queeeeennnn! We love you girl”
Anne is proving that a baby bump isn’t putting a pause on her best life. Fresh off confirming she’s expecting her third child, the actress was spotted soaking up the sun in St. Tropez alongside her husband Adam Shulman, their two sons, Jonathan and Jack Shulman, and a group of friends, serving vacation vibes every step of the way. From beachside lounging in a colorful bikini to hopping on a boat and strolling through town, Anne looked unbothered, booked, and fully committed to enjoying her getaway while embracing her growing bump.
What Do You Think Roomies?
We’re now in the second half of June, and the early summer 2026 slate has been packed with must-watch shows. The return of the Gilmore Girls replacement, Sweet Magnolias, created by Sheryl J. Anderson, has been keeping Netflix subscribers entertained; Rip (Cole Hauser) and Beth’s (Kelly Reilly) ranch rivalry in Dutton Ranch has kept Paramount+ subscribers hooked, and Apple TV’s new adaptation of Cape Fear has been topping the streaming charts. But, once again, Prime Video has been making a strong case for the title of best streamer. With that in mind, here’s a look at three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.
For more recommendations, check out our list of the best shows and movies on Prime Video.
The Summer I Turned Pretty was arguably Prime Video’s defining show of 2025, and the feature film finale is getting closer by the day. But to pass the time, Prime Video has just debuted the perfect replacement. Every Year After, based on Every Summer After by Carley Fortune, follows Percy Fraser (Sadie Soverall) and Sam Florek (Matt Cornett), who, a decade after falling in love during a summer at Barry’s Bay, explore whether their first love was true love.
A touching, heartwarming series set against a gorgeous backdrop, Every Year After is an easy watch waiting to whisk you away this weekend. All eight episodes in the series are available to watch right now, and, with its success on the streaming charts, there’s a chance this could be the start of another YA franchise. “If showrunner Amy B. Harris has her way, we’ll hopefully be spending more summers in Barry’s Bay, and I’d welcome the chance to return,” said Meredith Loftus in Collider’s review.
As The Boys and Invincible have recently shown, superhero shows are hugely popular on Prime Video. So, this weekend, why not head back to 2003 and binge-watch one of the very best? Created by Glen Murakami, David Slack, and Sam Register, Teen Titans follows five teenage superheroes as they face the world’s most evil villains, as well as typical teenage angst.
Few animated superhero shows are better than Teen Titans. A pitch-perfect adaptation of the DC Comics superhero team, 66 episodes of Teen Titans are currently available, with each season growing from strength to strength. With animation inspired by anime and a desire to tackle some nuanced, mature themes, this is a show you certainly won’t regret watching.
Although there was a 10-year wait between Season 1 and Season 2, nothing could stop this clever, twisting series from being a hit. Based on the 1993 novel by John le Carré, The Night Manager follows Tom Hiddleston as former military officer-turned-hotel manager Jonathan Pine, as he is caught up in a criminal underworld.
Also featuring the likes of Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander, David Harewood, and Elizabeth Debicki in Season 1 and Diego Calva, Camila Morrone, and Hayley Squires in Season 2, The Night Manager is a star-packed whirlwind that will keep you hooked from its very first moments. A winner of two Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes, this is one of the best adaptations on streaming today.

Based on a novel by John le Carré
Former “Summer House” star West Wilson said he knew that his time on the Bravo reality series was coming to an end long before the network confirmed his departure. In the season 10 bonus episode, titled “The Aftermath,” Wilson, 31, told his co-star, Kyle Cooke, that his performance during one critical moment was the nail in the coffin.
In the “Summer House” bonus episode, Wilson spoke with Cooke about his secretive romance with his estranged wife, Amanda Batula. At the beginning of the conversation, Wilson said that he wanted to meet with Cooke privately; however, the latter suggested they film the sit-down for the cameras since the audience was invested in their personal drama.
During the conversation, Wilson appeared to tell Cooke that he was done filming the Bravo reality show, saying, “This won’t make it, but, like, my time on camera is over.” Continuing, the Missouri native said his departure was due to the “bad job” he did during the season 10 reunion.

Elsewhere in the conversation, Wilson told Cooke, who joined the “Summer House” cast in 2017, why he preferred to meet with him privately rather than on camera.
“In my experience, anything I’ve done following it, publicly, has landed poorly,” Wilson said, referring to the pushback he faced following the season 8 reunion, during which he confirmed he ended things with co-star Ciara Miller after introducing her to his family.
“And so, I didn’t want you to think I, like, waited ’til the reunion was over and then, like, gathered myself and then was like, ‘Oh, let’s film a scene together’ kind of thing. The processing and, like, slowing down and just sort of, like, soaking it all in didn’t really happen until the last two weeks,” he continued.

Cooke asked Wilson whether his revelations had come to him “post reunion,” to which Wilson replied, yes.
“I mean, when this all happened, everything was just such a f–king disaster tornado, and there’s so many layers to this. But, like, the friendship part of this has been really hard to process. To watch it fully implode with other people who you care about, I care about, um, f–kin’ sucks. … It’s really f–king hard to know that something so special, like, I f–kin’ super fractured,” Wilson added.
Their conversation occurred months after Wilson confirmed he was dating Batula—Cooke’s estranged wife and Miller’s former best friend. The pair released a joint statement following weeks of speculation, saying their relationship had developed over the years.

Wilson gained significant popularity after joining the cast of “Summer House” in 2024. During his debut season, the sports journalist shared that he was looking for a change after being laid off. He also discussed his love life, revealing that he was scared of commitment.
Over the years, Wilson’s star began to fade as the Bravoverse criticized him for appearing to live one way in front of the cameras and another when they went down. His co-stars also hinted at this being true during the season 10 reunion.
He was fired from the series days ago, according to The Blast, and it’s unclear if he’ll be featured on the program again.

A Bravo and “Summer House” executive discussed Wilson’s fall from grace, according to The Blast, and opened up about why his reunion performance was so bothersome.
“When you watch the reunion, as incredible as it is, and as great television as it is, you walk away feeling a little unsatisfied because of the way that West and Amanda handle themselves,” Noah Samton, the current SVP of production for Bravo and Peacock unscripted, said. “They didn’t explain themselves in a satisfying way. And then there was a whole separate conversation with Meija, who nobody knew anything about. To me, those were the three stories that needed to be fleshed out further.”
“I think we didn’t get that in the reunion, and that was very frustrating for us. So I feel very happy that we were able to make a lot of progress in that ‘Aftermath’ episode,” Samton added.
