Megan Thee Stallion on Her Breakup With Klay Thompson
Rapper Megan Thee Stallion announced her breakup with NBA star Klay Thompson in April 2026, alleging infidelity in her initial statement. Now, months later, the Houston-born chart-topper is opening up about not only their breakup but also revealing that she had begun to lose herself before ending the relationship with the 36-year-old.
The “Savage” rapper was interviewed by InStyle in September 2026. During the cover-story interview, the 31-year-old discussed a range of topics, including her music career and her recent breakup with Thompson. In describing the end of their relationship, she called it “very rough.”
Megan then reflected, “How do I want to say this gently? What’s meant for you is always going to work out. And if something is constantly making you feel uncomfortable, just on edge all the time, you probably are not supposed to be there.”
She continued, “God will always make you uncomfortable when something is not meant for you.” Megan also spoke about the steps she took to make the relationship work, even though she realized at one point she was “trying to make pieces fit that didn’t belong.” She also discussed attempting to fit “into someone else’s life.”
The ‘W.A.P’ Wrapper Says She Lost Herself In The Much Talked About Relationship
Megan continued her interview by seemingly insinuating that Thompson may have been uncomfortable with her status as a public figure. According to her, “I was losing myself a little bit. I am now in the space of finding me again.”
She continued, “I cannot be disrespected. I cannot be a person who is not gonna be me. I cannot not go to work. I’m going to be Megan Thee Stallion…You will not disrespect me. And you will be thankful. Period.”
From there, Megan shared her hopes for her next romantic relationship, saying she wants someone who understands she’s multifaceted.
She said, “Whoever dates me is gonna have to just understand, like, she is her own person. I cannot be minimized. I will not be behind any man. I will have a partner. I’m never gonna take the backseat to anything.”
The “Hot Girl Summer” rapper added, “So just going forward, I think I’ve just learned this is the type of person that I want to be with, this is what I will tolerate, this is what I won’t tolerate. And if you can’t take that, we just gotta respectfully go our separate ways.”
Megan Has Learned Not To Blame Herself For Being Cheated On
While reflecting on her breakup with Thompson, Megan also discussed having been cheated on in past relationships after seemingly accusing him of the same.
Regarding what she’s learned, Megan stated, “That doesn’t have anything to do with you. You’re not less attractive. You’re not less of a good person.” She continued, “Even though it might feel like that, ‘Oh my gosh, why me? Why am I not enough?’ ‘Cause it could definitely feel like, ‘Why am I not enough?’”
The Houston Native Was First Linked To Klay Thompson In 2025
Rumors began to swirl in July 2025 that Megan and Thompson were dating. This came as he appeared in the background of her vacation photos. Then, on July 12, the pair went Instagram official, with him sharing affectionate photos of them from what seemed to be the same vacation she’d previously posted.
After that, they made their red carpet debut on July 16 of that year at the Pete & Thomas Gala in New York. In the following months, the rapper released a song, “Lover Girl,” inspired by their relationship.
According to Cosmopolitan, other relationship highlights include her cooking for his family for Thanksgiving, him defending her against derogatory comments made by a former NBA player, and her throwing a surprise party for his 36th birthday.
Regarding their breakup, Megan issued a statement to PEOPLE on April 25. She said, “I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay.”
Regarding the allegations, she continued, “Trust, fidelity, and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”
The Grammy-Winner Has A New Music Partnership
Following her breakup with Thompson, Megan announced in August 2026 that she’d signed a new distribution deal with Interscope Records. The new partnership will provide Megan, who is an independent artist with regard to her record label, with global distribution and strategic support, per PR News Wire.
She said in a statement, “I’ve always wanted to create music on my terms while building a legacy that extends beyond the industry. This distribution partnership with Interscope allows me to stay true to my creative vision while also increasing my global reach. I’m excited for this next chapter of growth and the expansion of my Hot Girl Productions empire.”
The Rap Star Has A New Album In The Works
Megan teased her upcoming fourth studio album, “Act III,” in August 2026 with an Instagram post. The series of photos hinted at her alter ego, Tina Snow. Notably, the final slide was captioned, “I’m back.” Additionally, per Billboard, her management company, Roc Nation, reshared the post.
Before that, in December 2024, she teased “Act III” via an X post. She said at the time, “Real Hot Girl Sh-t. ACT 3 2025 … be ready, hotties.”

Liz Meriwether has spent over a decade proving that she can write anything. She got her start with New Girl, a Fox sitcom about the most aggressively earnest roommate in Los Angeles. And now, she’s running a show about a trafficking survivor who murders wealthy men as a form of therapy with Furious. (Hulu renewed that one for a second season before the finale even aired.) In between, she turned the Theranos saga into something that plays like a cringe comedy. So, yeah, the woman has range.
Meriwether’s thing, across every series she helms, is characters who are funny and damaged in equal measure. They cope with real trauma by being quirky or weird or both. None of it should work as well as it does, but six shows in, Meriwether keeps pulling it off. Here’s every one of her creations, ranked.
6
‘Bless This Mess’ (2019–2020)
Dax Shepard and Lake Bell play Mike and Rio, a married couple who leave New York City for a run-down Nebraska farm they’ve inherited, only to discover that rural life involves a lot more septic-tank emergencies and nosy neighbors than the Instagram version suggests. The show surrounds them with a lineup of small-town oddballs, including Pam Grier as a no-nonsense local and Ed Begley Jr. as a neighbor with too many power tools.
Meriwether co-created this one with Bell, and their affection for the setting is real, if a little restrained. The fish-out-of-water premise gives the cast plenty to do in any individual episode, but the show never quite figured out what it wanted to be beyond pleasant. It ran two seasons on ABC before getting canceled in 2020, and while it’s sweet and easy to watch, it doesn’t have the sharpness or the emotional undertow that Meriwether’s stronger work tends to find. Call it her warm-up lap for a busier stretch ahead.
5
‘Single Parents’ (2018–2020)
Taran Killam leads here as Will, a recently divorced dad and amateur weatherman who’s forgotten that he used to have a personality outside of his kid’s school pickup line. His fellow single parents, played by Leighton Meester, Brad Garrett, Kimrie Lewis, and Jake Choi, take it upon themselves to remind him, mostly by dragging him to bars and forcing him to have fun. Meriwether co-created the show with J. J. Philbin, and it leans more into ensemble warmth than anything else.
The kid actors carry a surprising amount of weight here, and the show is at its best when it lets the parent-child dynamics get genuinely uncomfortable. It doesn’t reinvent the family sitcom, but the cast has real chemistry, and Garrett in particular plays his role with a kind of deadpan weariness that the show didn’t always know what to do with. ABC canceled it after two seasons, though it probably would have benefited from a third.
4
‘The Dropout’ (2022)
Most shows about the Theranos scandal would play it straight, but Meriwether created and oversaw this eight-episode limited series (based on the ABC News podcast) as something closer to a darkly dry comedy. The whole arc traces Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried) from awkward Stanford freshman to a CEO running a fraud so big it would make a Bond villain pause, and the cast Meriwether assembled sells every stage of it. Naveen Andrews as Sunny Balwani, William H. Macy as a family friend turned patent adversary, Sam Waterston as George Shultz, and Stephen Fry as the Theranos scientist who deserved a less corrupt employer.
Seyfried is the reason The Dropout works. Her Holmes does that fake baritone, mirrors the mannerisms of powerful men, and then fumbles small talk with lab technicians. Seyfried makes all of it strangely funny without letting you forget the real consequences. The series proved Meriwether could do something cold and propulsive and still find the mortifying human moments she’s always been good at. Before you strap into the insanity that is Nathan Fielder‘s Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything, you owe it to yourself to revisit Seyfried’s performance in a Hulu miniseries that’s perfect from start to finish.
3
‘Dying for Sex’ (2025)
Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate play Molly and Nikki, lifelong best friends navigating Molly’s terminal cancer diagnosis via a method that involves a lot more Tinder dates than most prestige dramas would attempt. Meriwether co-created and ran this one with Kim Rosenstock, adapting the podcast by Molly Kochan about her own experience leaving an unhappy marriage after her diagnosis and embarking on a run of sexual adventures. Sissy Spacek, Rob Delaney, and Jay Duplass round out the cast.
The show’s gamble is tonal, and it pays off. Williams plays Molly as reckless and stubbornly alive, even as the clock ticks. Slate matches her beat for beat as the friend trying to hold everything together while also being genuinely jealous of Molly’s sudden lack of inhibition. Meriwether and Rosenstock wrote something that doesn’t treat terminal illness as a metaphor for anything. It just sits inside the mess of being a person who wants more out of whatever time is left.
2
‘Furious’ (2026–Present)
Meriwether has said Furious draws from the 1987 film Black Widow, but the show goes somewhere darker and weirder than that comparison suggests. A newly minted FBI agent named Alice Black (Emmy Rossum) is tracking a serial killer who targets men connected to a trafficking ring. The killer, Catherine (Lola Petticrew), is a young woman whose emotional development froze at 15, and the show keeps reminding you of that through pop music playlists and childlike accessories that sit right next to the violence. Scoot McNairy, Quincy Tyler Bernstine, and Jake Lacy round out the cast.
What makes it work is that Meriwether spent time interviewing FBI agents who work on trafficking cases, and that research shows up in the small, grinding details of Alice’s job as much as in the plot. The show is the darkest thing Meriwether has made and also wildly funny in stretches. Thank the TV gods that Hulu has already renewed it for Season 2.
1
‘New Girl’ (2011–2018)
Zooey Deschanel is Jess Day, a teacher who moves into an L.A. loft with three guys after a breakup and proceeds to upend their very bro-y existence. The guys, Jake Johnson‘s grumpy bartender Nick, Max Greenfield‘s preening Schmidt, and Lamorne Morris‘ increasingly chaotic Winston, start out as her reluctant roommates and eventually become the most codependent friend group on television. Hannah Simone rounds out the core cast as Cece, Jess’s model best friend.
Meriwether created the show and ran it through seven seasons, and what still holds up about New Girl is how committed it stayed to being weird. The easy version of this premise is a will-they-won’t-they with some quirky garnish, and while Nick and Jess certainly deliver on that front, the show’s real engine is the ensemble’s willingness to escalate. Schmidt’s pronunciation of “chutney” became a running bit that somehow never stopped being funny. Winston’s cat, Ferguson, got his own storylines. Even Damon Wayans Jr. was there for a stint of the group’s misadventures as Coach. The show trusted that its characters were interesting enough to follow into the strangest territories, and it was right. Nothing Meriwether has made since has run this long or burrowed this deep into the cultural zeitgeist. Yet, at least.

Dame Judi Dench and Sir Ian McKellen gave fans another reason to admire their long-standing friendship during the August 31, 2026, episode of “Tea With Judi Dench.”
The two actors sat down for tea at Dench’s home and looked through her collection of awards, leading to a humorous exchange about their trophies.
While showing McKellen her awards shelf, Dench picked up the Oscar she won for Best Supporting Actress for “Shakespeare in Love” in 1999. The statuette immediately caught McKellen’s attention because it did not have her name on the base.
Dench explained that she never received an engraved nameplate for the award, adding that the nameplates had been stolen two nights before the Academy Awards.
Lightening the mood, Dench joked that the statuette “could be anyone’s,” prompting McKellen to sarcastically ask whether she would give the nameless Oscar to him.
“I certainly will. You can have it for everything,” Dench played along before handing the statuette to her longtime friend.
Ian McKellen’s Curiosity Left His Golden Globe In Pieces
As they talked, McKellen revealed he’d had a similar incident with one of the many awards he had received throughout his acting career.
He claimed that the Golden Globe he won for his supporting role in “Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny” also arrived without his name on it.
However, unlike Dench, who kept her Oscar looking pristine on the shelf, McKellen decided to find out how his trophy had been assembled. He discovered a screw on the bottom and used a screwdriver to take the award apart.
Unfortunately, he found it difficult to put the pieces back together. That created another problem when the Golden Globes asked him to return the award so that they could engrave his name on it.
Fans Call Judi Dench And Ian McKellen ‘A Treasure’
Fans quickly reacted to the humorous exchange on social media.
One person wrote, “Oh. my. god. Sir Ian McKellen doesn’t have an Oscar! How???? I googled, and he’s been nominated twice.”
Another fan said, “He should at least get an honorary Oscar at this point. Come ON academy.”
Other comments focused on the pair’s chemistry, which was evident throughout the clip.
“These two are fkin goobers. I love McKellen’s story about how he and Dench were at Buckingham Palace for an event, and they stumbled into the throne room, and both sat on the thrones like naughty children,” one fan wrote.
Another said, “I would watch an entire series of just them chatting away in various locations, about all their memories. They’re a treasure.”
Judi Dench Receives A Lasting Honor In London’s West End
Dench’s unengraved Oscar may have been one of the more unusual details from her conversation with McKellen, but another recent honor demonstrated how highly her career continued to be regarded.
In June, London’s Shaftesbury Theatre announced that it would be renamed the Judi Dench Theatre beginning in February 2027.
The decision recognized Dench’s contribution to British theatre following decades of performances in the West End and beyond.
The theatre also had a personal connection to Dench, as she had performed there earlier in her career.
Ian McKellen Celebrates 65 Years Since His Professional Debut
Meanwhile, Dench was not the only one whose long career had recently received attention. McKellen marked 65 years since beginning his professional acting career on September 4, just days after his conversation with Dench aired.
He made his professional debut in 1961 in “A Man for All Seasons” at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry.
More than six decades later, his career includes over 60 major international acting awards. His honors include a Tony Award, six Laurence Olivier Awards, a Golden Globe, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, along with multiple Academy Award, Emmy, and BAFTA nominations.

There’s no easier way to make jeans look a little more chic than by swapping sneakers for a pair of flats. It’s a fashion combination French girls have practically perfected, pairing everyday denim with ballet flats, Mary Janes and other polished styles. The best part is that the shoes still feel just as effortless as the jeans themselves.
The 13 pairs below make recreating the look easy, with plenty of fall-ready colors and textures to choose from. There are chocolate-brown Mary Janes, caramel suede flats, sleek black pairs and even cherry red options. And with finds starting at $20, adding a little Parisian polish doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
13 Chic Flats French Girls Are Wearing With Jeans This Fall
1. Our Favorite: Mesh flats are having a major moment, and this brown Mary Jane pair nails the French girl look. The sheer mesh, glossy trim and dainty strap feel effortlessly chic, especially with straight-leg jeans.
2. Bonjour, Bows: Between the chocolate brown finish and delicate bow, these square-toe flats practically scream ‘Paris in the fall.’ I’d add a trench coat and ankle-length jeans for an easy Parisian-inspired outfit.
3. Très Sleek: These black ballet flats are for anyone who prefer their French girl style with a sharper edge. The pointed toe gives the classic flat a more sophisticated, leg-lengthening look.
4. Suede Stunners: These caramel suede flats have the kind of understated shape French girls make look incredibly cool. Better yet, the memory foam insole makes the switch from cushy sneakers feel less intimidating.
5. Pretty in Pink: These pink satin flats look like they were plucked straight from a Parisian ballet studio. The satin finish, petite bow and elastic strap make the $45 pair feel especially romantic.
Even though we’re still early in September, shopping for chic fall clothing is officially on my mind. Amazon’s Labor Day sale is feeding the obsession with polished knit tops, chocolate brown shoes, fresh jeans and other pieces that look far more expensive than they actually are. You’ll mostly see transitional fashion finds on my list, […]
6. Velvet Crush: These apricot Mary Jane flats might be the prettiest way to give denim a fall refresh. They also come in rich brown, burgundy, pink, black and more, so there’s a shade for practically every fall mood.
7. Tabi Twist: These split-toe ballet flats have that quirky-cool detail that makes a simple shoe memorable. More than 400 pairs were bought in the past month, so apparently we’re not the only ones intrigued.
8. French Classic: Every French-inspired shoe collection needs a pair of classic black ballet flats. The unfussy design is timeless enough to keep reaching for long after this season.
9. Rouge Moment: Nothing wakes up a pair of jeans quite like these red Mary Jane flats. The rich crimson shade gives the otherwise minimalist silhouette a little je ne sais quoi.
10. Woven Winner: These chocolate brown ballet flats prove even a minimalist shoe can have plenty of personality. The intricate woven texture adds interest without taking away from that understated French feel.
11. Loafer Love: Can’t decide between loafers and ballet flats? These brown loafer flats combine the best parts of both world, featuring mock-toe stitching, a square front and slim buckle strap.
12. Très Textured: A basic ballet flat could never compete with these woven buckle-strap flats. Between the basket-like weave, rounded toe and gold buckle, there’s something interesting from practically every angle.
13. Spotted in Paris: These leopard-print flats bring a little wild side to the French girl shoe trend. A sleek brown strap and gold-tone buckle balance out the statement-making mesh.

And he reposted The Shade Room Teens’ post about him teasing an LSU return. He added the text, “I’m ready fr this time.”
The posts come just months after Toosii made headlines for pursuing his football dreams at the collegiate level. The rapper, whose real name is Nau’Jour Grainger, initially committed to Syracuse before ultimately enrolling at LSU and joining the Tigers’ football program in March. He was listed as a wide receiver and wore No. 89. However, in June, reports surfaced that Toosii had decided to leave the football program and refocus on his music career.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Dolly Parton has once again endeared herself to internet users with her signature wit in a resurfaced clip.
In the video, the “9 to 5” singer joked about avoiding the SAG Awards while presenting an honor to Lily Tomlin, saying she would not hesitate to undergo a procedure if she noticed anything “sagging.”
Parton died on August 25 at the age of 80 following a private battle with cancer.
Dolly Parton brought the jokes in an unearthed clip making the rounds online.
The “Jolene” singer was tapped to present the Life Achievement Award to Lily Tomlin at the 2017 SAG Awards. However, after taking the stage, she made a funny remark that left the star-studded crowd giggling.
“Greetings from Dollywood, Hollywood. I almost didn’t get in. Seriously, I didn’t. They were holding me backstage, kept wanting to see my I.D.’s,” she began, per E! News. “Well, I think they wanted to see I.D.’s, maybe double D’s.”
She added, “Well, I’m glad to get that off my chest.”
Dolly Parton Joked About Avoiding The SAG Awards
According to the news outlet, Parton was supposed to present alongside her close friend Jane Fonda, but the latter was sick at the time.
However, Parton managed just fine, leaving everyone laughing with her self-deprecating humor as she joked about spending much of her life trying to avoid the SAG Awards.
She cheekily noted that if she saw anything “sagging” on her, she would immediately call her doctor to fix it, nodding to cosmetic procedures.
“I’m really so glad to be here tonight because this is the SAG Awards, the highest honor you can get. It’s going to be given to my 9-to-5 buddy, Miss Lily Tomlin,” she continued. “I might say Lily is getting an award for something I’ve spent my whole life trying to avoid: a SAG award. I see something sagging, I’m calling Dr. Markowitz to say get that nipped, tucked, and stuffed right away.”
Fans Remember Dolly Parton’s Warmth And Humor
Several fans couldn’t contain their laughter, with many taking to social media to remember Parton for her relatable, easygoing personality.
“Dolly was the most amazing human,” a Reddit user wrote, while another added, “What an icon!! She spread so much warmth and love and joy!”
Someone else wrote, “I’m so happy she’s at rest, but I miss her so damn much already. I don’t even believe in heaven, but I hope she’s there with Carl.”
“An honest woman! Love it! Own your choices, ladies. Nothing wrong with any of them,” a different commenter added.
Dolly Parton Did Not Want Fans To Worry
Parton died in Nashville last month after privately battling cancer. At the time, reports were rife that her health had declined in the months following the death of her longtime husband, Carl Dean, whom she had cared for during his own health challenges.
News of her death left many fans shocked, as they had been completely unaware of her health struggles. However, her sister Stella revealed during a recent appearance on CBS Mornings that Parton chose to keep her condition private because she did not want anyone to worry about her.
“She did not want people sad,” Stella told the program’s co-host Gayle King in an exclusive interview. “She’d be really happy and delighted that people have shown her so much love.”
Stella Parton Condemns AI ‘Garbage’ About Her Sister
Stella added that even some members of their extended family never learned about the late country singer’s condition, saying only “some of us knew, the ones of us that were closer.”
“Dolly could not bear negative things,” she continued. “And she would not have wanted her fans worried about it.”
Meanwhile, Stella recently took to social media to call out the barrage of AI slop about her late older sister that has flooded the internet since her death.
“There is a tremendous amount of AI and endless garbage being posted every day, and it’s been challenging to absorb and/or ignore,” she wrote.
She noted that some people were taking advantage of the situation and spreading misinformation online. Stella called on them to stop and show “more compassion and wisdom” as the late singer’s family continues to mourn.

Kaitlin Olson isn’t afraid to laugh at herself, even on Emmy night.
After attending the 78th Emmy Awards on September 6, 2026, the “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star took to Instagram with a self-deprecating jab, dubbing herself a “four-time Emmy loser” in her caption.
The post also included sweet photos with her husband, Rob McElhenney, and quickly drew loving pushback from fans.
Taking to Instagram after the Emmys, Olson reminded fans she still hadn’t found success at the awards show.
She wrote in her post, “The hair, makeup and wardrobe of a four-time Emmy loser,” before tagging her glam and styling team for the night.
Her remark contained some truth, as Olson has received four career Emmy nominations without a win. The post has since garnered over 100,000 likes and nearly a thousand comments from her loving fans.
Fans Declare Kaitlin Olson A Winner After Emmy Loss
In the comments, fans encouraged the actress with compliments about her look and her husband, Rob McElhenney, who joined her for the awards ceremony.
“You win across my board, K. You look stunning, and Orville Mackenbocker’s never looked spiffier,” one wrote.
“Y’all are 18-time Emmy winners in our books,” another individual commented, while a third said, “She’s our winner.”
“If it makes you feel better, my roommate and I stayed up on the EST time zone and waited for your category. You’re the winner in our hearts,” another individual shared.
“4-time Emmy winner in my heart! Thank you for giving life to the beautiful character that DJ is; you’re extraordinary,” one more wrote.
Makeup artist Krueger Mekash also joined the comments, writing, “I lost 28 Times before I won. You looked beautiful last night! Winning is right around the corner.”
Inside Kaitlin Olson’s Four Emmy Losses
Olson’s first nod came in 2020, when she was nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for her role in “Flipped.” She ultimately lost the award to Jasmine Cephas Jones, who won for her performance in “#FreeRayshawn.”
Her next two nominations came for her guest performance as DJ Vance on “Hacks” in 2022 and 2024. She lost the 2022 award to Laurie Metcalf and the 2024 award to Jamie Lee Curtis.
“Widow’s Bay” star Betty Gilpin then beat Olson this year, with the actress once again nominated for her performance in “Hacks.”
Kaitlin Olson Filmed ‘Hacks’ As Her Father Was Dying
Meanwhile, Olson’s connection to “Hacks” goes far beyond her Emmy nominations.
Her father, Donald Lee Olson, became seriously ill during production on the fifth and final season of “Hacks.” He died on May 15, 2026, at age 76, following what Olson described as “a long, slow, miserable event.”
At the time, Olson was also filming “High Potential” for ABC and began shuttling between Los Angeles and Oregon while trying to keep up with both shows.
On her first day back on the “Hacks” set, she received a call saying her father had lost consciousness.
“I collapsed in the line producer’s arms. I said, ‘I have to go.’ And he said, ‘Go,’” Olson recalled at an HBO event in August while discussing the emotional moment.
Olson’s Father Saw One Final Hacks Episode
Despite everything going on at the time, Olson kept filming. She also did her best to encourage her father by regularly sending him videos from the “Hacks” set, as he was a huge fan of the show.
One particular episode became especially meaningful, as it turned out to be the last thing Olson made that he got to watch before his death.
The episode featured Olson’s DJ Vance and one of her co-stars racing through an “Amazing Race”-style challenge. Her father especially loved the scenes in which Olson screamed at people—a stark contrast to their real-life relationship.
“And he loved it,” Olson said of the episode. “It’s just always going to be very special to me, because he got to see it.”
Sarah Ferguson and Meghan Markle have found themselves at the center of fresh royal speculation, with some questioning what an alliance between the two women could mean for the monarchy.
The idea has sparked plenty of reaction online, with some royal watchers seemingly less than impressed by the prospect. One X user summed up their feelings bluntly, describing Ferguson and Markle as “two peas in a pod.”
According to the Examiner, Markle, 45, may find Ferguson, 66, as an unexpected ally, which got the royals bracing for the worst, a source revealed.
“This is not an alliance that anyone in the royal family wants to be dealing with,” the insider said, adding that Markle and Ferguson are believed to have spent time together in Portugal prior to Princess Eugenie giving birth to her daughter, Adelaide, in Lisbon last month.
In addition, Fergie has “suddenly rented a place and came back the same week that [Prince Harry] and Meghan did seems far too convenient to simply be a coincidence,” said the source, “so the royals are taking this very seriously.”
Fans React To A Possible Meghan Markle-Sarah Ferguson Alliance
The same user on X noted, “They sold their souls. Now they are both international clowns,” while another remarked, “I’m positive Andrew has information that MM would not want shared, along with receipts. Already announced today that Harry is working with someone with a questionable background. MM should watch her associations.”
A different person wrote, “Two of the worst scumbag women on the planet.”
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Eyes England’s Cotswolds Region
As reported by The Sun, the former Duchess of York is renting a six-bedroom residence in the UK’s Home Counties while Prince Harry, 41, and Markle, along with their kids, are rumored to have gone house-hunting in the Cotswolds ahead of their return to England.
“I was told by a friend of Harry‘s earlier this year that he was going to go house hunting and potentially in the Cotswolds near Highgrove,” royal commentator Tom Sykes told Page Six, referring to King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s Highgrove House residence.
Sarah Ferguson’s Complicated Relationship With The Royals
Much like Markle, Ferguson, who was Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s ex-wife, has a complicated history with the monarchy. In May, reports revealed that she has been totally frozen out by King Charles III and the rest of the royal family over her ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Although, the former Duchess denied any wrongdoing and consistently maintains her innocence, even stating via a representative that she was “taken in” by Epstein’s “lies.”
“It’s no secret Sarah’s very angry and angling for some sort of payout from the king, so it’s hard to imagine she won’t be egging Meghan on and urging her to stand up for herself too,” the source noted. “Sarah has plenty of inside information about everyone in the family, so the fear is that she’s going to spill all to Meghan’s who will then have even more leverage.”
The insider added, “There’s really nothing to stop Sarah laying it all bare for Meghan now that she’s essentially been exiled, so it’s a total nightmare that these two are coming together,” the source adds. “It’s being seen as a real threat by everyone within the palace.”
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s New Titles
After a letter, which was written by Lord Chamberlain Richard Benyon at King Charles’ instruction, was sent to Prince Harry and Markle, it was circulated among senior government and military officials on September 7. The letter appeared to put an end to any confusion over the Duke and Duchess’ role within the royal family after their return to the UK, following their decision to step back from royal duties in 2020. The Sussexes would remain non-working members of the royal family but could no longer use their HRH styles, with the couple expected to live as private citizens.
Amanda Kloots and Justin Gimelstob have called it quits after just over a year of dating.
Kloots, 44, confirmed in an interview with Page Six on Wednesday, September 9, that she is no longer seeing the former tennis player.
“No, not currently [together], but we’re still very good friends,” the former Talk cohost said.
Despite the split, Kloots told the outlet, “I believe in love. I definitely want that in my life.”
Amanda Kloots is giving her engagement ring from late husband Nick Cordero new meaning. Kloots, 42, who lost Cordero to COVID-19 in July 2020, revealed via Instagram on Wednesday that she had repurposed the sparkler the Broadway star proposed to her with. “Allowing my heart to change,” Kloots began in the caption of the social […]
For now, however, the former professional dancer and fitness instructor is focusing on parenting her 7-year-old son, Elvis, whom she shares with her late husband, Nick Cordero. The Broadway actor died at age 41 in 2020 following COVID-19-related complications.
“Right now I’ve really just been focused on work and Elvis and myself and just making sure I’m the best version of me,” Kloots said. “It’s been very good and healing and rewarding, so that’s where I’m at right now.”
Kloots and Gimelstob, 49, first went public in April 2025 when they made their red carpet debut at a cancer awareness event at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
“[Amanda’s] a special lady,” Gimelstob exclusively shared with Us at “An Unforgettable Evening,” benefiting the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, at the time. “I think it’s cliche, but just how she prioritizes her people and obviously all this and everything she’s been through — how much grace and kindness [and generosity] she shows.”
Amanda Kloots has found a deeply personal way to keep her late husband, Nick Cordero, close to her heart. The television personality, 44, revealed she created a lasting tribute she can always wear and cherish for years to come. “I used some of my husband’s ashes to grow this beautiful diamond so he could be […]
Gimelstob also acknowledged Kloots’ late husband, Cordero, adding, “They had such a beautiful relationship, and I only have admiration for the relationship they had. I just support [Amanda] and obviously the baby is such a sweet boy.”
Speaking exclusively to Us in 2021, Kloots opened up about navigating grief and being a single parent after Cordero’s death.
“A lot of people have said to me, ‘It gets easier [and] time helps,’ and I don’t know if I found that yet,” she told Us at the time. “I still pretty much cry every day. It’s growing pains.”
She added, “With Elvis, like there’s so many things that he does or there’s times in life that you just wish your person was there to celebrate with. And I think that that’s where it’s harder because you miss your person so much.”
At the time, Kloots said she was “doing everything I possibly can to stay healthy and active and happy. And you know, grief is a process … Everybody does it differently.”
For Selena Gomez, the perfect wedding was never about lavish displays or following tradition. Nearly a year after the singer quietly married Benny Blanco, new details are emerging about the deeply personal vision that shaped their big day.
On his podcast, Blanco revealed that while the ceremony required enormous planning and attention to detail, Gomez was determined to avoid anything overly extravagant, focusing instead on a celebration that reflected her personality and a dream she had carried since childhood.
Blanco surprised guest Gwyneth Paltrow during a recent episode of “Friends Keep Secrets” when he casually revealed details about his marriage to Selena Gomez and the intimate ceremony they held in Santa Barbara on September 27, 2025.
According to Blanco, the couple transformed a rented palm tree farm into a wedding venue unlike anything guests expected. The producer explained that his wife had spent years imagining what her walk down the aisle would look like and knew exactly what she wanted when the moment finally arrived.
“She’s like, ‘I want to walk down the aisle and I want the aisle to be, like, Persian rugs off centered. I don’t want normal flowers. I don’t want it to feel bougie,’” Blanco recalled per PEOPLE.
Rather than embracing a traditional luxury wedding aesthetic, the couple focused on creating something personal and unconventional. The ceremony was officiated by Lil Dicky, who also co-hosts Blanco’s podcast.
Blanco said the event struck the balance Gomez had always envisioned. “So it was, like, incredible and you could tell we put so much effort into it, but also didn’t feel, like, stuffy,” he explained. Paltrow appeared impressed by the approach, responding simply, “I love that. That’s so cool.”
The wedding may have reflected Selena Gomez’s childhood dream, but Benny Blanco says the foundation of their marriage was actually built years earlier, inside a therapist’s office.
Blanco Reveals The Relationship Checklist That Unexpectedly Led Him To Gomez
Long before the duo became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples, Blanco was trying to figure out exactly what he wanted in a life partner.
During a September 3 appearance on “The Mel Robbins Podcast,” the 38-year-old revealed that he and his therapist created a detailed checklist of qualities he believed were essential in a healthy relationship.
According to Blanco, the very first requirement on the list was simple: “age-appropriate.” He explained that he wasn’t focused on appearance or superficial traits.
Instead, the record producer prioritized character, emotional maturity, and kindness. “Then the second thing on my list was, someone who’s nice. Nice, caring, compassionate, like someone who’s a nice person,” he added.
Blanco also noted that the third thing on the list was a partner who would wake up “generally happy.” What makes the story remarkable is that Gomez eventually matched the exact qualities he wrote down years earlier. Blanco noted that timing played a major role in their success.
Blanco Explains Why A Romance With Selena Gomez Would Have Failed Years Earlier
The more Blanco speaks about his relationship, the more he emphasizes one recurring theme: timing.
Although he and Gomez knew each other for more than a decade before dating, Blanco believes the relationship succeeded only because they had grown into different people.
Speaking about their journey, he explained that meeting earlier in life would have created very different circumstances.
The idea isn’t new to the couple. Gomez has shared similar thoughts before, explaining that years earlier she was dealing with personal challenges and wasn’t in the right emotional place for the kind of relationship she has now.
In a March 2025 appearance on the “On Purpose With Jay Shetty” podcast, Gomez reflected on their connection, admitting, “10 years ago, it’s not that I wouldn’t have wanted to be with you, I just wouldn’t have been in the right headspace.”
Blanco echoed that sentiment, saying they both needed time to mature and learn from past experiences before they could fully appreciate what they eventually found together.
Their years as friends and collaborators gave them a unique understanding of each other, but it wasn’t until 2023 that the timing finally aligned.
More From The Blast
Selena Gomez Drops Her Biggest Hint Yet About Starting A Family With Blanco
If Blanco’s checklist explains how the couple found each other, Gomez’s latest social media post may offer a glimpse into what they hope comes next.
As Page Six shared, the former Nickelodeon star recently sparked widespread discussion after sharing a photo of herself spending time with a baby on her Instagram story.
Alongside the image, Gomez posted a short but powerful caption that read, “one day..” followed by emotional emojis. The message immediately led fans to wonder whether she was hinting at future plans to start a family with Blanco.
The post resonated because Gomez has been unusually candid about her journey toward motherhood. In previous interviews, she revealed that medical complications connected to lupus and her kidney transplant make it unsafe for her to carry a child herself.
While the realization was initially painful, she later said she found peace with alternative paths to parenthood. Speaking about the possibility of surrogacy or adoption, Gomez told Vanity Fair in 2024, “It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby.”
Gomez Says Goodbye To Her Famous Los Angeles Home After Marrying Blanco
As family plans begin to attract attention, Selena Gomez has also been quietly closing the door on another chapter of her life.
On Wednesday, Architectural Digest reported that the “Good for You” singer sold her longtime Encino home for approximately $5.4 million after originally listing it earlier this year.
The property carried special significance because it served as the backdrop for several seasons of her popular cooking series “Selena + Chef.”
The sprawling estate featured six bedrooms, multiple entertainment spaces, a gym, massage room, office, recording areas, and the kitchen that became familiar to millions of viewers during the show’s run.
It also carried an impressive musical pedigree, having previously been owned by the late Tom Petty, who custom-built the property in 1989.
The sale follows Gomez and Blanco’s purchase of a much larger Beverly Hills estate worth about $35 million. The new property reportedly includes seven bedrooms, multiple guesthouses, a library, extensive gardens, and enough space for the newlyweds to build their future together.
