Los Angeles Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman’s Wife Expecting Baby No. 4
Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, are expecting their fourth child via surrogate.
The baseballer, 36, and Chelsea, 34, shared a joint Instagram post on Sunday, February 22, that confirmed the exciting news. “Worth the wait. Baby #4 is on the way and our hearts are already so full,” the post read. “We are incredibly grateful for the amazing woman helping bring our baby into our lives, and we’re choosing to honor her privacy as we walk this chapter.”
The couple, who share three sons, Charlie, born in 2016, Brandon, born in 2020, and Maximus, born in 2021, then playfully asked their social media fans, “What do you think… brother or sister?” The caption accompanied a family photo that saw one of their sons holding up a black-and-white sonogram image.
The news comes after Chelsea spoke to Us Weekly last year about the frightening health emergency that rocked the couple’s family. After Maximus was rushed to hospital in July 2024 as a result of being unable to sit, stand or walk, he was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder: Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the nerves.
Chelsea, who described the situation as the most “terrifying thing” she had been through, told Us in March 2025, “He’s been so resilient. It’s been amazing to see. He’s still in [physical therapy] two times a week. It will be a full one-year recovery before he’s back to complete normal.”
She added that the family have looked for a silver lining amid the health scare. “It obviously taught us that health is everything. It was awful. He was fully paralyzed on a ventilator. Seeing him able to play outside, it’s really a miracle for how sick he was,” she explained at the time.
The couple’s fourth child is not the first carried via surrogacy. In 2021, ESPN reported that the Freemans “explored fertility options” after trying to fall pregnant following the birth of their eldest son. After a surrogate was arranged to carry their second child, Chelsea also became pregnant “nearly simultaneously,” per the outlet.
The athlete told the outlet at the time that the pair hoped their story would provide motivation for other hopeful parents. “Every pregnancy and fertility journey is a little bit different for everyone … I think it’s an inspirational story that we have,” he said. “We tried for a couple of years, and it didn’t happen. We were talking with doctors, and they suggested surrogacy. We jumped at that, because we wanted to be blessed with more kids.”
Chelsea added that she had hoped for a large family soon after meeting Freddie. “As long as I’ve known him, he said that since he was a little boy, he always knew he wanted to be a dad,” she told the outlet. “As important as being a baseball player to him is, I think being a dad is even more important.”
Of her own motherhood aspirations, she said, “It was always my dream to have three kids by the time I was 30. When my 29th birthday came around and I still wasn’t pregnant, I never thought it would be possible. I think our story is definitely a story that God always has a bigger plan. Whether a family is looking towards fostering, adoption or surrogacy, children … no matter which way they come, [children] are truly a blessing for any family.”

Kris Jenner Claims Ray J ‘Publicly Terrorizing’ Kim Kardashian, Says He Caused ‘Deep Pain’
Kris Jenner
Slams Ray J For ‘Publicly Terrorizing’ Kim
Published
Kris Jenner says Ray J has been making her daughter Kim Kardashian’s life hell for the past two decades — and now she wants him held accountable, TMZ has learned.
The famous momager filed a declaration in her ongoing defamation case against Ray J, detailing her feelings about him. Kris claims she sued her daughter’s ex-boyfriend after he made “outrageous and untrue” allegations that Kris and Kim were being investigated by the Feds.
Kris said she has never been accused or charged with a crime. “To say that my daughter and I are being pursued for doing something worse than Sean “Diddy” Combs, is a horrific lie,” Kris writes in the declaration.
In her filing, Kris said Kim was with Ray J for a short period of time … saying “[o]ver the past two decades, I have had to watch [Ray J] publicly terrorize my daughter by continually talking, and lying, about her in the press to try and keep himself relevant.”
Kris said whenever Ray J talks about her family, it causes a “wave of attention” … adding that it is “extremely difficult to watch my daughter endure this cycle of scrutiny brought on by [Ray J].” She said Ray J’s recent statements “go too far” and caused her “significant emotional distress.” “My family is of the utmost importance to me. It is deeply painful to watch my daughter experience the stress brought upon her by [Ray J], and her feelings of hopelessness and his harassment will never end.”
Kris said his allegations affected her too, saying she is “deeply angered, insulted and shaken by the accusations.” She claims she fears Ray J’s remarks will cause harm to her business, which she has worked decades to build. In her declaration, Kris explained she has never sued anyone for defamation, but she decided to sue Ray J because his statements were “inexcusable and deeply painful.”
Kris said, “I took this step because I could no longer bear [Ray J’s] campaign of harassment against my daughter and my family or to watch my daughter cry again over the lies he’s painted about us.”
As TMZ first reported, Kim filed her own declaration claiming she was worried her dream of becoming a lawyer would be ruined by Ray J’s statements, too.

Transitional Fashion Finds You Need To Get Through Spring

Dressing myself in the early spring can be a real challenge. The transitional weather goes from one extreme to the other — and while I’m freezing in the morning, by the afternoon, I’m in a pool of my own sweat. After ten years of living through the moody New York City weather, I’ve finally curated the best transitional wardrobe for this finicky time of year.
Lightweight sweaters, angular jackets and trusty denim jeans have become the backbone of my closet. Not only do these pieces feel timeless, but they help me stay comfortable through the breezy spring season. If you want to emulate the most fashionable NYC girls, keep reading to discover my tried and true transitional fashion finds.
The Transitional Fashion Finds You Need From March to May
1. For the In Between Days: When the temperatures are chilly in the morning and extra warm by afternoon, I opt for a short-sleeved sweater. This one, with its etched flower design, is pretty on its own or layered with a light jacket.
2. Preppy Vibes: ‘90s-inspired short sleeve cardigans are going to be all the rage this spring — especially since Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette premiered — but to be honest, I’ve been wearing this buttery soft pick for years.
3. The Best Transitional Basic: My signature transitional piece is this lightweight wool blend tank. It beautifully hugs my body and looks professional without being stuffy. I wear it everywhere!
4. Fun Pockets: My latest denim finds — like this affordable silhouette — are much more fun than styles from years past, thanks to fun patchwork pockets, wide waistbands and a slightly flared hem.
5. Go Light: I tend to store my dark wash denim away once March comes around in favor of lighter wash jeans. The hue of this wide-legged pair matches the refreshing springtime energy. Plus, they go with everything!
6. Pop of Color: Who says you can only wear blue denim? These ivy green Levi’s are an easy way to incorporate color into your transitional wardrobe. The wide-legged silhouette is also extremely flattering.
7. The Ultimate Midi: Want to look model tall? This ribbed midi dress elongates your frame, while the expertly placed back tie cinches your waist. This is something I’ll wear with sneakers, boots and even sandals as the weather gets warmer.
8. Denim Days: While most denim dresses are extra thick and form-fitting, this one is light and breezy with a feminine babydoll silhouette. I’ll be wearing this to brunch all the time.
9. Who Needs an Excuse? I live in dresses from the moment it becomes spring. This high-neck drop-waist design from Abercrombie has already become a wardrobe staple due to its versatility.
10. Upgraded Denim: Blue denim jackets might be classic, but this burnished brown pick adds depth to any outfit.
11. 21st Century Trench: Long, timeless trench coats have their time and place. However, the NYC girls are obsessed with cropped trench coats, and I can’t deny they look tres chic!
12. Bye Bye Chill! On those random cold spring days, I have a short wool-blend coat on hand. This sharply-tailored one from Abercrombie is less bulky than a long jacket and a bit boxy for that model-off-duty look.
13. Suede Baby: The one thing I’m dying to add to my transitional closet is a utilitarian suede coat. All the cool girls wore it last season, and I know the style is going to be even more popular this year.

Rotten Tomatoes Unearths 850 Classic Oscar Nominee Reviews [Exclusive]
The 98th Academy Awards are fast approaching, and to celebrate, Rotten Tomatoes is taking a look back at some classic Oscar nominees and what contemporary critics said about them. What was the critical consensus on films like Jaws, Apollo 13, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? You’re about to find out, because Collider is proud to exclusively reveal that Rotten Tomatoes has unearthed more than 850 reviews for the Best Picture nominees of 1976, 1996, and 2001.
As part of their commitment to the preservation and promotion of film criticism, Rotten Tomatoes has established RT Archive, a site that takes a look back at the film reviews of the past. They’ve chosen to spotlight three excellent years for movies — 1975, 1995, and 2000 — with a bevy of reviews steeped in historical context. If you want to see what The Village Voice thought of Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws, before it ushered in the era of the summer blockbuster, or read New York Magazine‘s review of the counter-cultural touchstone One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, they’re all there.

1976 saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest become the second of only three movies to sweep the “big five” categories of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay; the only two others to do it were It Happened One Night and The Silence of the Lambs. Other films nominated that year were Stanley Kubrick‘s historical masterpiece Barry Lyndon, the iconic crime film Dog Day Afternoon, Robert Altman‘s magnum opus Nashville, and Jaws, which ushered in the era of the summer blockbuster. Braveheart won the most Oscars in 1996, but became only one of nine Best Picture winners without a single nomination in the acting categories. Notable nominees that year were the pastoral talking-animal film Babe, Ron Howard‘s astro-disaster Apollo 13, and the dramedy The Postman, whose star and co-writer, Massimo Troisi, died before the film was completed. Also nominated that year was Sense and Sensibility, which won Emma Thompson Best Adapted Screenplay; with her earlier win for Howard’s End, she became the first person to win Oscars for acting and screenwriting.
Gladiator was the big winner in 2001, taking home not only Best Picture, but Best Actor, and three other wins. Steven Soderbergh accomplished the rare feat of competing against himself, with two of his films, Traffic and Erin Brockovich, up for the top prize; neither won, but Soderbergh did beat himself out for Best Director, winning for the former film. Also nominated were Ang Lee‘s lyrical martial arts epic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the Lasse Hallström romance Chocolat.
Rotten Tomatoes has added 850 contemporary reviews from the 1976, 1996, and 2001 Oscar nominees; the reviews are accessible through their RT Archives hub. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

The Company That Ruined Star Trek Has Plans To Ruin Batman Next
By Jennifer Asencio
| Published

The bidding war over Warner Bros. Discovery isn’t over yet. Thanks to a concession from Netflix, Star Trek’s parent company, Paramount Skydance, has reopened negotiations with Warner Bros. to acquire its extensive library. The seven-day window ends February 23, 2026, and the final vote will take place March 20.
Warner Bros includes Discovery Channel, HBO Max, CNN, and Cartoon Network, as well as Batman owners DC Comics and DC Studios. The DC Universe has especially faced backlash, with a controversial Superman that didn’t perform as hoped at the box office and a new Supergirl movie coming out in which everyone is rooting for Jason Momoa’s Lobo more than the titular heroine. The company has spent the last few years writing off properties for tax purposes, including famously shuttering a completed Batgirl movie.
Three Different Bidders Competing For Control Of WB
Paramount issued the first salvo in September 2025 when new CEO David Ellison made the first of many offers to David Zaslav of Warner Bros, which started at $19 per share. These offers increased through October until they became $23.50, 80% of which they offered in cash rather than other assets like stocks and real estate. On October 21, 2025, Warner Bros formally rejected Paramount’s offer and opened up talks for other bids.
Although Comcast was briefly involved in the bidding, the majority of the competition has been between Paramount and Netflix. Both companies offer significant libraries of content, and whichever of the two manages to snag Warner Bros would establish dominance over mainstream streaming. This would also reduce the market, because the only other major studio is Disney.
Another major player in the bidding war is Ancora Alternatives LLC, a small activist investor that owns shares in Warner Bros. and is holding out in favor of Paramount. On February 11, 2026, the firm announced that it would block the Netflix deal if due consideration were not given to Paramount offers, since existing deals with Netflix allow WBD to consider serious offers, and those made by Paramount qualified. Ancora’s protest prompted the reopening of negotiations by validating Paramount’s accusations of favoritism toward Netflix.
How To Buy An Entertainment Monopoly
Paramount also argued that a Netflix acquisition of the Warner Bros. studios would change the landscape of theatrical releases. Netflix has been notoriously unfriendly to movie theaters, preferring to release movies on its own platform; films like Knives Out theatrical releases were limited to mere weeks at the box office before Netflix hastened to make them exclusively streaming.
However, Paramount ownership presents its own problems. Despite years of corporate magic changing the names of the owners of both Paramount and Warner Brothers, both studios have been around for over a century and have long been rivals, as are their competing prestige cable channels, Showtime and HBO. A merger between the two giants would be suspiciously close to a monopoly.
If any offer is accepted from either company, the next step would be a review by governmental trade regulators around the world. All the companies involved have international reach and would be subject to the trade and monopoly laws of all the countries they hope to stream in. Even though nothing has been finalized about the purchase, various government regulators and watchdogs have been scrutinizing the situation and weighing its potential consequences.
Other various mergers and acquisitions have reorganized television and cable networks, dividing the spoils among streamers. Comcast owns NBC, Paramount owns CBS, and Disney owns both ABC and Fox Entertainment. As how we consume entertainment continues to change, the answer to whoever gets Warner Bros. Discovery will resound across the industry.

Kayce Dutton Saddles Up With the ‘Marshals’ in Sneak Peek From Taylor Sheridan’s Next ‘Yellowstone’ Spin-Off [Exclusive]
Kayce Dutton is trading the Yellowstone Ranch for a badge — but he’s not leaving the cowboy behind. As part of Collider’s Exclusive Spring Preview, we’re debuting a first-look sneak peek at Marshals, the upcoming sequel spin-off of Yellowstone starring Luke Grimes. Our first-look wastes no time establishing what we’re all about: Kayce’s old-school, horseback instincts colliding with the structured world of federal law enforcement. Introduced to an elite U.S. Marshals unit led by Pete Calvin (played by Logan Marshall-Green), Kayce quickly finds himself in unfamiliar territory — even if the terrain itself feels like home.
Calvin’s team includes Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos), and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means). In the sneak peek, the group heads out to track their next targets — and not by SUV. The mission takes them far off-road. Like, way off-road. Vehicles won’t cut it. They’ll need horses, and who better to lead them than a bona fide cowboy? The moment perfectly encapsulates what Marshals seems poised to explore: the balance between modern federal justice and frontier instincts. Kayce may now carry a Marshal’s badge, but his roots — and his skills — still lie in the saddle. The show’s official logline reads:
“With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Kayce Dutton joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence.”
Who Else Is Involved in ‘Marshals’?
The unit is rounded out by Belle, Andrea, and Miles, while Brecken Merrill returns as Kayce’s son, Tate. Mo Brings Plenty, and Gil Birmingham also reprise their roles as longtime allies from the Broken Rock reservation. However, there’s no sign of Monica Dutton, played by Kelsey Asbille in the main series, which suggests Kayce will be dealing with more than just a new job.
Produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, Marshals is the latest entry in Taylor Sheridan’s ever-expanding Western universe. The franchise has already delivered Yellowstone, 1883, and 1923, with more to come, including Dutton Ranch and the Montana-set offshoot The Madison. Sheridan executive produces alongside David Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Spencer Hudnut, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Freidman, Greg Yaitanes — and Grimes himself.
Marshals premieres Sunday, March 1, at 9 PM ET on CBS. Check out our previews of the hottest upcoming television and film projects here, at Collider’s Exclusive Spring Preview.
