90 Day Fiancé alum Jasmine Pineda is speaking out after finalizing her divorce from now-ex-husband Gino Palazzolo.

“My client has exercised remarkable restraint despite repeated public accusations that we believe are false and damaging. The legal process has concluded, yet the public attacks have not,” Pineda’s lawyer Andrew J. Tahmazian said in a statement to Us Weekly on Friday, June 26. “We are issuing a formal cease-and-desist demand, and if these defamatory statements continue, we are fully prepared to pursue every legal remedy available. Reputation has value, and the law provides recourse when false statements cause harm.”

Pineda’s manager, Dominique Enchinton, also addressed the reality star’s divorce in a statement to Us, “For far too long, Jasmine has been forced to defend herself against a narrative that simply does not align with either the facts or the outcome of this case. The final divorce resolution speaks louder than months of interviews, online commentary, and accusations.”

Enchinton continued, “Jasmine chose peace over prolonged litigation. She honored a settlement so she could close this chapter and focus on her children, her family, and her future. Unfortunately, the continued public attacks have made it necessary to respond. The legal process has concluded, and the outcome speaks for itself. Jasmine is choosing to move forward with grace, dignity, and purpose—not conflict. We are hopeful this chapter has finally come to a close. However, a person’s reputation is invaluable. Should false and defamatory statements continue, we are fully prepared to protect Jasmine’s rights through every appropriate legal avenue. We remain confident that the truth, supported by the facts, will continue to speak for itself.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Gino for comment.

90 Day Fiancé stars Gino Palazzolo and Jasmine Pineda are still in the middle of a quarrelsome divorce nearly three years after they tied the knot, Us Weekly can exclusively report. Gino, 57, filed docs in July 2025 to legally end their union in Michigan, where the now-exes wed in June 2023, noting they separated […]

Jasmine, 39, and Gino’s courtship was first profiled on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, as she left her home in Panama to move in with Gino, 57, in Michigan. They were later featured on 90 Day: The Last Resort.

Despite showing a volatile side to their relationship on 90 Day, the couple tied the knot in June 2023 in Michigan. They later agreed to open up their marriage, with Jasmine ultimately welcoming a daughter, Matilda, outside of the relationship with boyfriend Matt Branistareanu. (Jasmine also has two sons, Juance and JC, from a previous relationship.)

Gino eventually admitted on 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort Tell-All that he wished he’d never agreed to an open marriage.

“Overall, after all this was done, I regret agreeing to open marriage,” he confessed in an April 2025 episode. “But I felt like I was trapped in a corner. Like, I had to make a decision, take action, because nothing was working for us.”

Gino officially filed for divorce in Michigan in July 2025, listing their separation date as April 22, 2024. Jasmine counterfiled for divorce one month later in Florida, where she’d moved with Matt, 39.

As the former couple settled their divorce, Gino’s spokesperson exclusively told Us on Thursday, June 25, that he looked forward to “bringing a long and emotionally difficult chapter to a close.”

“The court’s final ruling has resolved the matter in his favor, giving him the legal closure he has been waiting for and allowing him to move forward at last,” his rep went on. “The relationship and its aftermath placed Gino under significant emotional strain, as he navigated a very public breakup, legal proceedings, and the pressure that came with the collapse of his marriage. After enduring that process, Gino is relieved that the matter is now behind him and grateful to finally have clarity, peace, and the opportunity to focus on himself.”

We may know Cecil B. DeMille best for his final film, The Ten Commandments​​​​​​, but did you know that Hollywood legend Cecil B. DeMille made a trilogy of biblical epics back in the day? At the point where the silent era was fading out and “talkies” were becoming popular, DeMille made three historical/religious epics that chronicled the Old Testament, New Testament, and early Church eras. Yet, it was only the final picture in this unofficial string of thematic material that utilized sound, the highly underrated and all-around provocative The Sign of the Cross. If you’ve never heard of this 1932 Old Hollywood epic, it’s a pre-Code extravaganza well worth entertaining.

‘Sign of the Cross’ Was a First Century Epic of Romance and Faith

As the third entry in his biblical epic trilogy, The Sign of the Cross is unique in that it was not based on any tale pulled from the holy scriptures. Rather, it was based on a 1895 play penned by English playwright Wilson Barrett, which DeMille had previously seen. (Interestingly, The Sign of the Cross first hit the stage in March 1895, two days after the remarkably similar serial novel, Quo Vadis, was published by Polish author Henryk Sienkiewicz. Quo Vadis would likewise be adapted.) Although The Sign of the Cross had been adapted as a 10-minute silent short in 1904 and as a 70-minute silent drama in 1914, DeMille’s 1932 remake was the most earnest adaptation of Barrett’s material. Here, the director moves beyond strict biblical fiction into historical fiction to round out his religious drama, embracing his ability to craft a larger-than-life visual spectacle that rivals even his later works. While some of the costuming was reused from previous pictures, The Sign of the Cross is quite visually stimulating.

Set several decades after Christ, the picture highlights early Christian persecution at the hands of Roman Emperor Nero (Charles Laughton) in the mid-first-century following the Great Fire of Rome in A.D. 64. More specifically, it follows the fictional Roman prefect Marcus Superbus (Fredric March), who falls for a young Christian woman named Mercia (Elissa Landi) just as Nero orders him to round up and capture all the Christians in the city. While Marcus wishes to show mercy to the new religious sect, he must keep up his Roman appearances and way of life — a way of life that keeps him and the faithful Mercia apart. The Sign of the Cross meditates on Marcus’ inability to believe in anything beyond himself, making his complete infatuation with this young Christian woman all the more brilliant and torturous. Likewise, there is a strong juxtaposition displayed here between the Christian ideals of virtue and sacrifice with Rome’s hedonistic and violent ways. This tension is what helps make The Sign of the Cross such a beautiful film.

Of course, The Sign of the Cross was also quite controversial in its day. As DeMille was known to do, the 1932 picture displays both the decadence and delinquency of Roman society, in the form of the “wicked” Empress Poppaea (Claudette Colbert). While March and Landi play Marcus and Mercia flawlessly, Colbert’s performance as Poppaea is seductively invasive. Jealous for Marcus’ affections and unashamedly lustful in her dealings, she sets her sights on Mercia as a romantic rival and finds herself at terrible odds with the doomed couple. Indeed, through characters like Poppaea and the film’s infamous Colosseum sequence, The Sign of the Cross leans into its pre-Code-era ability to revel in its depiction of ancient Rome’s decadence, showing nude women stalked by wild animals or Ancaria’s (Joyzelle Joyner) incredibly sensual dance sequence as she attempts to seduce Mercia away from her convictions. Yet, these moments of sin and seduction are contrasted marvelously with notions of faith and conviction on the part of Mercia and her fellow believers.

DeMille Rounded Out His Trilogy of Biblical Epics with This 1932 Picture

As one of the greatest filmmakers of the 20th century, DeMille was a true pioneer during the silent and early sound eras. His 1934 film, Cleopatra, was a Best Picture delight at the Oscars, and The Ten Commandments would stun both audiences and critics in 1956, concluding his work in the pictures and solidifying himself as one of the most important names in film history. (This isn’t to mention films like The Greatest Show on Earth, Samson and Delilah, and Union Pacific.) But long before working with Charlton Heston, DeMille’s unofficial biblical epic trilogy chronicled the transition from silent to sound. The Sign of the Cross was only the final entry in this series of religious epics, and the only “talkie” installment. But don’t let that dissuade you from giving his other two installments a try.

The trilogy begins, interestingly enough, with his first attempt at The Ten Commandments in 1923. Yes, his 1956 film is technically a remake of his own material, which arguably makes it even more impressive. Yet, this silent take on the Exodus story is just as engaging, especially as a blueprint from which he would later expand and improve upon. Three years later, DeMille looked to the New Testament for The King of Kings in 1927, deciding that the story of Jesus Christ was the best way to follow up that of Moses. Audiences and critics praised his tender and reverent take on Christ. It was only five years after that he tackled The Sign of the Cross, establishing the religious epic foundation he would need to revisit this historical era later on in his career. Not only did all three of these public domain films help invent the biblical epic as it would later be known and perfected, but they were the foundation for DeMille’s greatest picture ever — and one of Old Hollywood’s absolute best.

The Sign of the Cross, The King of Kings, and The Ten Commandments are available for streaming on Tubi.

Sometimes, the finest action shows don’t always have the mainstream attention they deserve. Despite being quite underrated, these masterful action-filled watches are worth returning to over and over again. In fact, some of the best shows of the genre aren’t just fun because of the spectacle and violence; they work because their worlds and all it consists of make it rather easy to revisit.

Action shows like the often-overlooked gem Alice in Borderland, which transforms brutal survival games into something clever, emotionally gripping, and incredibly tense, and Banshee, a violent crime drama with a wild premise, fantastic intensity, painful fights, and nonstop consequences, are just two series in the genre that prove underrated action television can be just as rewatchable as anything circling mainstream channels. On this list are incredibly addictive action shows that are absolutely worth watching over and over again.

‘Wayne’ (2019)

Image via YouTube Premium

Wayne has to be one of the most underrated action masterpieces that no one seems to know about. The clever teen action drama follows the young Wayne (Mark McKenna), who hits the road after his father’s death to reclaim a stolen Trans Am, dragging Del (Ciara Bravo) into an incredibly funny, violent, and heartwarmingly romantic fugitive trip.

Wayne is practically built to be rewatched by the lucky few who come across it. The series is creative and quite surprisingly deep. It’s a teen drama that’s so incredibly rewatchable because every episode feels extremely charged with promising momentum. Wayne, despite being criminally underrated, stands as the perfect series to revisit time and time again, as it moves with the confidence of a comic-book bruiser and wields the heart of a scrappy road romance. It’s a sweet, nasty, weirdly sincere, action-filled watch that is structurally tight and worthy of anyone’s time, making it a great addition to this list.

7

‘Hanna’ (2019–2021)

Image via Prime Video

This often-overlooked Prime Video thrill ride has quite the emotional hook. Hanna centers on the titular character, a young girl, ignorant of the normalcy of the world, due to being raised off-grid by her father to survive pursuit, only to find herself stalked by a powerful government organization as she begins uncovering the truth about her origins.

Hanna is the type of action series that definitely rewards rewatches, with its tense cat-and-mouse storytelling, carefully layered character development, and emotional detail that becomes more captivating on repeat viewings. Not only is the show’s action clean and purposeful, but the emotional hook is a young girl learning just how to be ordinary while, at the same time, she’s dismantling extraordinary organizations. Hanna is unique and worthwhile because of its compelling story, action, and deep emotional stakes, cementing it as a tense, stylish watch that’s far greater than it often gets credit for.

6

‘Alice in Borderland’ (2020–2025)

Image via Netflix

Alice in Borderland is an underrated sci-fi banger that is a rather addictive viewing experience. The action thriller focuses on the directionless gamer, Arisu (Kento Yamazaki), and his close friends as they’re dropped into an emptied-out Tokyo where survival depends on deadly games.

Alice in Borderland is quite a captivating series to indulge in, and only gets better for audiences on a second viewing. The series, unlike most survival thrillers, doesn’t entirely rely on shock value; instead, it leaves its mark because it depends on its action being tied to grief, tragedy, loyalty, and fear. Alice in Borderland is genuinely masterful, the perfect series to watch time and time again, because it never gets boring. Simply put, the sci-fi wonder’s mechanics are only half its appeal when it comes to replays. In fact, once viewers are aware of the rules, they are able to better appreciate the show’s foreshadowing, character work, and emotional decisions that make rewatches all the more enthralling.

5

‘Nikita’ (2010–2013)

Image via The CW

This action drama is much too underrated, a genuine good time that deserves far more credit than it’s ever received. Nikita follows the assassin Nikita (Maggie Q), who returns to destroy Division, the covert program that turned her into the killer that she’s become.

Nikita is a true network TV action staple. The series is exactly what spy thriller fans want, from undercover missions and sleek action to heartbreaking betrayals and a strong kickbutt heroine. Nikita can admittedly be a bit pulpy, but even the most outrageous turns feel earned. The show’s attack-defense rhythm makes it extremely bingeable as every setback, victory, and countermove naturally pushes viewers into the next installment, ensuring repeat viewings feel quite rewarding. Nikita is an underrated work of perfection that wields its stylish and intense action narrative with remarkable confidence, delivering the kind of gripping espionage drama that stands as a strong pick for action fans looking for something overlooked.

4

‘Black Sails’ (2014–2017)

Black Sails may be a woefully overlooked series, but it’s definitely a cult favorite that is remembered by its most loyal fans as one of the greatest action TV watches ever created. The thrilling pirate action show centers on Captain Flint (Toby Stephens), who tries to transform Nassau from pirate chaos into something sustainable, while characters like John Silver (Luke Arnold) evolve alongside him, going from opportunistic survivors into some of the most captivatingly complex figures of the story.

Black Sails does indeed start off as a captivating pirate drama, but it then gradually transforms into something far richer, rife with naval battles, politics, betrayals, and character work that genuinely rewards audiences who come back for more than one viewing. With each season, the show gets stronger, and by the end of the addictive series, it has evolved into a sweeping legend filled with tons of emotional payoffs and layered motivations. Black Sails has definitely earned itself endless rewatches as it only gets better once audiences know where it’s heading.

3

‘Into the Badlands’ (2015–2019)

Image via AMC

This fantastic action spectacle is an exceptional series that spurs rewatches because of its brutal world that is less gun-heavy and much more martial arts-dominated. Set in a post-apocalyptic society ruled by feudal barons, Into the Badlands focuses on the lethal regent Sunny (Daniel Wu), who is desperately searching for a way out of the violent system he lives in.

Into the Badlands is a criminally underrated series that wields extraordinary action. It’s actually quite a rewatchable series, simply because of its intense combat sequences. Into the Badlands‘ story may be quite entertaining, but most viewers tend to stick around for the sword-wielding, almost too absurd fight scenes. Those moments are incredibly addictive and genuinely remain some of the most inventive and stylish action moments television has ever produced, cementing the series as a consistently overlooked yet incredibly fantastic gem that is rather easy to resist over and over again.

2

‘Banshee’ (2013–2016)

Image via Cinemax

Few underrated action greats are as unapologetically intense as Banshee. The series centers around an ex-con who steals the identity of a dead sheriff named Lucas Hood (Antony Starr), and lands himself in Banshee, Pennsylvania, where he collides with his former partner and lover Carrie Hopewell (Ivana Miličević).

With the impact of a brawler and the energy of a crime thriller, Banshee is incredibly easy to keep watching. It’s actually so rewatchable because it understands exactly what kind of show it is. Banshee is hardly a subtle watch, but it is enticingly consumable, with every episode pushing the intense chaos further. The series is quality revisiting material that never apologizes for its excess, marking it as a hidden action gem that stands as a great addition to this list of criminally underrated hits in the genre.

1

‘Warrior’ (2019–2023)

Image via HBO Max

Warrior is genuinely one of the strongest hidden gems in the action genre of the last several years. Set during the Tong Wars in late 1800s San Francisco, the series follows the martial artist Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji), who is in search of his sister, only for him to somehow become entangled in the violent power struggles of Chinatown.

Warrior wields a cinematic quality that makes it the perfect action series, one that is definitely well worth watching more than once. It isn’t too well-known, making it a woefully underrated beauty that most action lovers tend to miss out on. For dedicated action fans who have stumbled across the well-hidden gem, they have lauded Warrior as an addictive, almost impossible to ignore show, once started. The series is truly the complete package with its vivid setting, incredible fight choreography, and intense drama, cementing its place as the greatest underrated action series that is definitely worth watching over and over again.

Reports claim Keith Urban is seeking to rebuild communication with ex-wife Nicole Kidman following their 2025 separation and divorce.

Insiders claim the country singer hopes to clear the air and restore a more cordial relationship, though the actress has reportedly remained distant.

The situation is also said to involve their co-parenting dynamic, with Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban focusing on stability for their daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith, under a structured custody arrangement.

Keith Urban Reportedly Seeks Peace With Nicole Kidman Amid Post-Divorce Distance

A new report claims that Keith Urban is hoping to get back on speaking terms with his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, following what insiders describe as a distant and emotionally strained period after their separation was finalized.

Urban is said to be uncomfortable with how little contact the former couple has had since the split and would reportedly “love the chance to clear the air and get to a place where they can at least be more cordial.”

However, the same sources suggest Kidman has so far remained “a brick wall” to attempts at reconciliation, “but he’s hoping she might soften towards him now that she’s found happiness with someone new.”

The reports link his desire for a truce to changes in Kidman’s personal life, especially speculation that she may be dating a “high-profile entertainment executive,” something insiders claim has been difficult for Urban to process, even as he tries to avoid resentment.

“There’s no denying it’s a lot to take in, but he’s making a conscious effort not to be bitter because he knows that won’t help anyone,” the insider noted.

Keith Urban Reportedly Seeks Family Reconnection As Nicole Kidman Shares Father’s Day Tribute

Beyond his relationship with Kidman, the narrative also claims Urban is hoping to repair his bond with their two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith, amid suggestions that the girls have “essentially cut off contact”  between them since the divorce.

According to sources cited by the National Enquirer, he is said to believe that easing tensions with his former wife could also have a positive ripple effect on the wider family situation.

“He knows Nicole holds a lot of influence,” one insider said, adding that “he’s desperate to repair things with her.”

Kidman, meanwhile, marked Father’s Day on Instagram with a simple tribute that included a general message celebrating fathers, alongside a black-and-white photo of her with her own father, as well as a picture of Urban carrying their daughters on his shoulders, which came as a surprise to some fans online.

Keith Urban Wished Nicole Kidman A Happy Birthday In A Surprise Move

Kidman and Urban share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith, 15, whom they welcomed during their nearly 20-year marriage.

The couple, who tied the knot in June 2006, ended their relationship in 2025, with their divorce finalized the following January.

Due to their separation, Urban’s recent online activity drew some attention when he publicly wished Kidman a happy birthday via social media, writing an enthusiastic message on his Instagram Stories.

While he has largely stayed quiet about the breakup in public, the gesture was widely noted given the high-profile nature of their split.

Nicole Kidman Reflects On Family And Co-Parenting After Divorce From Keith Urban

Unlike Urban, Kidman has addressed their divorce directly during a March interview, where she emphasized her focus on stability and family.

The Oscar winner described herself as someone who is “always going to be moving toward what’s good,” adding that her priority remains keeping her family unit intact in spirit, even after changes in structure.

She also spoke warmly about her daughters, referring to Sunday and Faith as her “beautiful girls” and expressing deep gratitude for motherhood.

During Mother’s Day celebrations, Kidman also shared a message dedicated to mothers everywhere, alongside a personal note to her daughters, writing, “To my beautiful girls, the greatest joy is being your mother. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the world.”

Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban Finalize Divorce With Structured Co-Parenting Agreement

In September 2025, reports confirmed that Kidman and Urban had been living apart for several months after separating earlier in the summer. Kidman subsequently filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences

The divorce was later finalized in a Nashville court at the beginning of the following year. As part of the settlement, Kidman’s residence was designated as the primary home for their two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith, while Urban was granted scheduled visitation time, including alternate weekends.

Despite the arrangement, both parents retained joint responsibility for major decisions affecting the children.

Court documents also outlined expectations for co-parenting conduct, emphasizing that both parties were to “behave with each other and each child so as to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced.”

The agreement required them to avoid speaking negatively about one another in front of the children and to “encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.”

Despite having received the best reviews of its run, which indicate that the show has finally hit its stride, HBO’s House of the Dragon is dividing audiences right down the middle. House of the Dragon was HBO’s first released Game of Thrones spin-off, and fans of the original haven’t always been on board. This typically happens with genre titles that tackle queer themes, or are led by actors from minority communities. The third season of House of the Dragon may have earned the series’ highest score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, but it seems like we’re also witnessing the earliest instances of review-bombing. This is when a group of hardcore fans launch a concerted effort to decrease a film or show’s audience score on aggregators such as Rotten Tomatoes.

For instance, the latest season of the fantasy series currently holds a “Certified Fresh” 91% score on the aggregator website, where the consensus reads, “The fate of Westeros comes to a head in a reinvigorated and riveting third season of House of the Dragon, complete with wicked new characters and more thrilling battles, crafting a punchy prequel that matches the expectations of its predecessor.” However, the new season’s audience score has dropped to 69%. The last time that something like this happened to an HBO title was the second season of The Last of Us, where Bella Ramsey was targeted by certain members of the audience.

‘House of the Dragon’ Made a Splashy Debut

Some viewers on Rotten Tomatoes made their negative feelings known. “HBO desperately needs to clean house on the creative involved with this project,” one person wrote, unfavorably comparing House of the Dragon with the second Game of Thrones spin-off, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. “Awful show. Acting is appalling, the writing is terrible,” a second person wrote, while a third commenter felt that House of the Dragon “disrespects” Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin, who has criticized the series in the past. Critics disagree with these observations. In her review, Collider’s Therese Lacson called the new season “game-changing.” Created by Ryan Condal and Martin himself, the series stars Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Matt Smith, and others. House of the Dragon made a strong debut this past Sunday, jumping to the top of the global HBO Max viewership charts, according to FlixPatrol. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Joshua Jackson has been spotted hanging out with model Olivia Burgess — almost three weeks after they were snapped holding hands on a different outing.

Posting via its Instagram account on Friday, June 26, Deux Moi shared photos of the pair spending time together in New York City.

Jackson, 48, and Burgess, 37, opted for casual attire for the outing. The Doctor Odyssey star rocked jeans teamed with a white t-shirt and a navy blue button-down top while Burgess opted for a denim skirt and chocolate brown tank top combo. She accessorized with a belt in a matching brown hue.

The sighting comes after Jackson and Burgess were spotted holding hands while out and about in the Big Apple on June 7, according to photos obtained by TMZ at the time.

Joshua Jackson enjoyed a lovely day in New York City with model Olivia Burgess. According to photos obtained by TMZ, Jackson, 47, was spotted out and about with Burgess on Sunday, June 7. The pair were all smiles as they held hands while on a stroll in the Big Apple. Jackson and Burgess kept it […]

For their previous outing, the duo once again kept it casual. The Affair alum rocked a linen button-up shirt and matching pants paired with sneakers and sunglasses. The model, who has walked the runway for the fashion brand Jean Paul Gaultier, went for a black tank top, gray Bermuda shorts and mules and opted for a messy updo.

Just two days after being spotted with Burgess, Jackson made headlines when he publicly praised longtime friend and former Dawson’s Creek costar Katie Holmes.

The actor shared an “appreciation post” for Holmes, 47, via his Instagram on June 9 after they worked together on the movie, Happy Hours.

“It takes many hands to make a movie. And I am thankful to every hand that touched this one. But … this is a Katie appreciation post,” Jackson wrote. “It is because of her light that all those hands were brought together. Because of [the] generosity of her spirit that she wanted to bring this wonderful, loving, hopeful story into the world.”

He continued, “Because of her tenacity that she shepherded it from the blank page through the editing room and onto that screen last Saturday night. Because she is such an incredible friend that she made the space for us to be able to play together again after all these years.”

The film marked the first time Jackson and Holmes have acted together since Dawson’s Creek ended in 2003. Jackson and Holmes played Pacey and Joey, respectively, in the show and briefly dated offscreen for about a year following the show’s debut in 1998.

At the Tribeca Film Festival Jackson reflected on his working relationship with Holmes and their Dawson’s Creek stint with fondness.

“The time that we spent together when we were young is very precious to both of us,” Jackson told a reporter at the event, while standing beside Holmes and holding her hand in a clip shared on June 7. “And [it] is like one of the core personal and professional relationships in my life.”

Jackson was previously married to Jodie Turner-Smith, with whom he shares daughter Juno, 6. The former couple announced their split in 2023 before finalizing their divorce in May 2025.

Lukas Gage is coming into his own. In a new interview, the “White Lotus” alum reflects on embracing his sexuality as a gay man after years of hiding it.

In a previous exclusive interview with The Blast, the actor discussed writing his memoir, “I Wrote This For Attention,” in which he shares deeply personal stories about his struggles with people-pleasing, mental health, family trauma, and addiction.

Speaking with E! News, Gage, 31, said that he’s now finally able to embrace his identity as a gay man following years of hiding his sexuality. While he was open with the people closest to him, Gage said he used to be “fearful” of telling those who didn’t know him well.

“It was the people that didn’t know me that I was the most fearful about,” he said before revealing that something finally shifted in him, giving him the courage to live life on his terms.

“I don’t know what happened, maybe it’s growing older or maybe it’s just life experience,” he said, adding, “If people don’t want to work with me because of how I identify or who I have sex with, they’re probably people I don’t want to work with anyway.”

Growing Up Had An Impact On How Lukas Gage Viewed Himself

Gage, who appeared in the 2025 series “Overcompensating,” said that growing up gave him the confidence to truly embrace who he was.

“When you’re younger, it feels more intense than it actually is, or more important,” he said, adding, “but ultimately, the right people are going to find you.”

Gage explained that after making peace with himself, he realized he could “take a deep breath” and live a little. “At first, having a secret can be fun and it can feel like you’re mysterious. Then it starts to eat away at you and you just can’t keep up with it anymore,” he said.

How Being ‘Upfront’ About His Identity Helped Lukas Gage ‘Be More Free’

Gage, whose 2026 credits include “People We Meet on Vacation,” “Rosebush Pruning,” “Love Language,” and “Voicemails for Isabelle,” said coming out of the closet allowed him to “be free.”

“Just being upfront was the thing that allowed me to be more free,” he said before revealing that it also impacted how he showed up to work.

“… [Coming out] allowed my work to be better and allowed me actually to work with the right people. It aligned me in the right way,” he said.

What Gage Hoped To Get Across In His Memoir, ‘I Wrote This For Attention’

In a past interview with The Blast, Gage opened up about his memoir, “I Wrote This For Attention,” and spoke about why he believed it was important to share his personal story.

“The message that I share throughout the book is that the little boy who was desperate for attention and love and validation became a man who was also a little bit desperate for love and validation and attention,” he said. “I try to share how that manifested. And I try to put a different spin on our innate human need for attention, our desire to be seen, and show how you can do that in a positive way instead of only being seen for negative attention.”

The 320-page memoir touches on Gage’s “broken family, struggles with addiction, sex, borderline personality disorder,” and much more.

Gage Gets Real About The Importance Of PrEP And Sexual Health

Elsewhere in his conversation with The Blast, the “American Vandal” actor opened up about the importance of sexual health and why PrEP—a once-daily medication that reduces the risk of acquiring HIV through sex by about 99% when taken as prescribed—is so important for those at risk.

“I think that the way that we become knowledgeable is to have an open conversation about these things and to not live in fear and uncertainty,” he said. “The way that we just bring awareness is that we step away from the taboo and from the stigma that we have wrapped around these topics.”

Regarding PrEP, Gage said being “safe” is a vital part of his “self-care” routine, calling it “just as important as working out and eating well.”

“[Getting on PrEP] might feel like a scary step, but you just have to take the leap. And if you are uncomfortable talking to your primary care doctor, you might consider telehealth options where you can talk to someone from the comfort of your home. Regardless, there is nothing to be ashamed of. The more we talk about sex and how to have safe sex the less taboo it becomes,” Gage said.

If there’s one thing I remember from my recent trip to London, it’s polka dots, and Blake Lively just brought the rich mom look to New York City. Not only that, but she also nailed the elevated lounge pants trend. I found her comfy-chic style for just $23!

Heading out to dinner, Lively was spotted with husband Ryan Reynolds wearing a simple tank, a leather-like blazer and polka-dot pants that make you question every pair of tight trousers you own. Loose, breezy and incredibly sophisticated, these pants channel ‘summer in Kensington’ vibes without even trying.

These Wiholl Polka-Dot Lounge Pants mirror Lively’s in every way, with the same relaxed shape, smocked waistband and tapered ankles. The black-and-white polka dot print is also similar, reading polished from across the street and playful up close.

Better yet, these upgraded lounge pants are as comfortable as, well, lounge pants. They have a stretchy high waist and a billowy cut that drapes in all the right places. I’m especially obsessed with the tapered ankles that work just as well with sneakers as they do with heels. Oh, and did I mention pockets?

One happy fan highlighted the flattering fit and wrote, “These lay so nicely on the body, hiding lumps and bumps. So soft and perfect for the hot summer yet you can wear them well into fall. The wide ruched waistband smooths your tummy and in a not tight way.”

These flowy wonders are labeled lounge pants, but don’t let that fool you. Classy and luxe, these pants dress up any outfit. No matter how you style them, you’ll look like a London rich mom and a New York City celeb simultaneously. Score!
