Olivia Culpo Pregnant, Expecting 2nd Baby With Christian McCaffrey
Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are expecting another bundle of joy.
“Best birthday gift ❤️,” Culpo, 34, wrote via Instagram on Friday, May 8, confirming that she is pregnant. “Baby #2 coming soon 🥹.”
Culpo’s post included a photo of her and McCaffrey, 29, sitting on a picnic blanket out in nature. The couple shared a sweet kiss while the model held their daughter, Colette, 10 months. They were also joined by their dog, Oliver Sprinkles, who sat next to a sonogram.
In additional snaps, Culpo could be seen wearing a long white dress standing in the hilly landscape while cradling her growing baby bump.
Culpo and McCaffrey’s exciting news comes less than one year after they welcomed daughter Colette in July 2025.
“Colette is so lucky to have the best daddy in the world,” Culpo wrote via her Instagram alongside a photo of McCaffrey watching their infant in her hospital isolette. “A love like no other.”
Culpo previously shared that she underwent a C-section to give birth to her first child. She called the procedure “the scariest and most rewarding of all experiences,” adding that she felt “most at peace” with McCaffrey by her side.
Earlier this year, Culpo gushed about how McCaffrey has excelled while navigating fatherhood.
“He will be such a good example and protector to her. I know that she’ll always be able to feel like she has someone who loves her more than anything,” the model exclusively told Us Weekly in January. “I feel like everybody deserves to feel that.”
The following month, McCaffrey gave his wife her flowers as she fully embraced motherhood with grace.
“Watching Olivia become a mom has been so cool,” he exclusively told Us. “We had [Colette] in July, which was right before training camp so I was kind of in go-mode and went through the whole season. There’s challenges that come with that. So, to now take a breath and be able to be a dad has been really, really fun.”
While McCaffrey can’t always be present due to his busy NFL schedule, the San Francisco 49ers running back and Culpo are on the same page for their little one.
“We have the same values in life, there’s never really any conflict when it comes to that stuff,” he said to Us. “Obviously, I can’t be there for most of the day, and she really does love it. As a girl dad, you definitely get softer. I don’t care what anyone says.”

Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval Sell Home 3 Years After Split
Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval have officially offloaded their Los Angeles home three years after their dramatic breakup.
Us Weekly confirmed on Friday, May 8, that the Vanderpump Rules alums quietly sold the home that they bought together in 2019 to new owners for $3.1 million. (TMZ was first to report the news.)
The former couple, who called it quits in March 2023 after Sandoval, 43, was busted having an affair with their then-costar Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, bought the house in 2019 for $2 million.
Following their split after nine years together, Madix, 40, and Sandoval were embroiled in more drama as they battled over the home.
In the aftermath of the cheating scandal, Sandoval spoke about continuing to live in the 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom property during an appearance on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast in April 2023.
“I don’t have a lot of friends I can stay with right now. … I kind of run the house,” he said. “I handle the gardening [and] the housekeeping. My assistant comes and cleans and stocks everything. I basically run everything in the house.”

Sandoval shared on the podcast that he and Madix used a mediator to communicate at the time.
“[Ariana’s] in the house. This is a big house. We have a go-between. We text when we’re coming and going,” he continued. “The house is not listed yet, no. [Ariana’s] really busy right now, she’s obviously blowing up. I’m really happy to see that. I’ve been busy as well trying to get things together.”
In January, Us Weekly confirmed that Madix and Sandoval settled the legal battle over the sale of their shared home.
The former couple reached an agreement on January 13, when the Love Island USA host filed a notice of settlement of the entire case in Los Angeles Superior Court. According to the filing, the dismissal of the case is “conditional” and would require “the satisfactory completion of specified terms” within 30 days of the date of the settlement.
Madix joined the Vanderpump Rules cast in November 2013. Madix and Sandoval announced they were dating during the show’s season two reunion in February 2014.
In December 2018, they told Us that they would likely never get engaged and wanted to spend their money on a home together instead.
“To me, we’d rather put our money in that investment than, to us, marriage or a wedding and all that, an expensive ring,” Sandoval told Us at the time.
The former couple spoke to BravoTV in May 2019 about incorporating their own personalities into decorating their home.
“I feel like normally when it comes to decor in a house with a guy and a girl, it can be very like, ‘Okay, the girl just kind of does everything, the guy is like, I just added this one thing,’” Sandoval told the outlet. “But we obviously both have very strong personalities. You see a nice mix of Ariana and myself in there.”
Madix added, “We definitely had moments where one of us is really adamant about something, and the other one is not really feeling it. You compromise on those moments.”

Prime Video’s ‘Reacher’ Officially Returns to Streaming Domination as Fans Anxiously Await Season 4
2026 has already been a huge year for Alan Ritchson, who was the headlining figure in the biggest Netflix movie of the year in War Machine. The film debuted back in March, and to reach the top spot, it had to dethrone The Rip, the Miami-set crime thriller starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Not only did War Machine have no problem taking down Damon and Affleck’s gritty thriller, but it has also racked up over 125 million views since it arrived on the platform, with more coming in every day. Ritchson has also featured in some other big projects over the last few years, such as The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, the WWII action epic directed by Guy Ritchie. The film also stars Henry Cavill, but the film’s combined star power didn’t help it achieve success at the box office.
Ritchson has been acting in movies and TV shows for years now, but his star power can be traced directly back to Reacher, the Prime Video original series that first premiered back in 2022. Reacher has aired three full seasons with a fourth confirmed to be on the way later this year, and it’s not-so-quietly become one of Prime Video’s flagship properties, along with The Boys (starring Karl Urban) and Invincible (starring Steven Yeun). Plot details about Reacher Season 4 are still being kept under wraps before its Prime Video debut, but fans around the world are rushing to rewatch the first three seasons of the series, which has led it back into the global streaming top 10. The show is the perfect blend of John Wick and Zero Dark Thirty for fans of great action set against the backdrop of an intense conspiracy thriller.
Alan Ritchson Isn’t the First Jack Reacher
Alan Ritchson may be the definitive Jack Reacher for a generation of Reacher fans, but he isn’t the first person to take up the mantle of the legendary military operative. Tom Cruise starred in a pair of Jack Reacher movies in 2012 and 2016, but most fans agree that he was ill-suited to take on the role written by Lee Child, who has also distanced himself from the adaptations. Cruise’s first Jack Reacher movie is streaming on Paramount+, and the sequel is on Prime Video for fans willing to give it a chance.
Check out the first three seasons of Reacher on Prime Video and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 4.

Zoë Kravitz Slams ‘Tacky’ Reference About Engagement
Zoë Kravitz has publicly criticized Hulu for using her high-profile engagement to Harry Styles as a marketing tactic.
The actress lashed out after the streaming service posted a joke on social media that connected her personal life to a television series they canceled years ago.
Her blunt response has now reignited a long-standing feud between the star and the platform over the handling of her professional work.
Kravitz did not hold back when she discovered that Hulu was using her relationship with Styles to drive social media engagement. Last week, the streaming platform shared an Instagram photo of Kravitz in character as Robyn Brooks from her former series, “High Fidelity.”
The caption of the now-deleted post claimed that her character would definitely have “Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally” on her playlist, a direct nod to the title of Styles’ fourth studio album, which debuted on March 6.
Kravitz, now 37, found the post offensive and commented, “This is tacky,” while directly tagging the Disney-owned platform. Following her public disapproval, Hulu quickly removed the post from its page.
Notably, the frustration felt by the “Big Little Lies” star is rooted in the fact that Hulu canceled “High Fidelity” back in 2020 after just one season. Many fans supported her reaction, arguing that it is disrespectful for a network to use an actress’s current personal milestones for advertisement six years after axing her show.
Additionally, Kravitz has been a vocal critic of the cancellation since it happened, famously pointing out that the move removed one of the few shows on the platform led by a woman of color. According to Page Six, she previously mentioned that Hulu made a “big mistake” by not realizing the cultural impact and the connection the show had with its audience.
Harry Styles And Zoë Kravitz’s Relationship Has Reportedly Reached The Next Step

Kravitz’s blunt reaction to the streaming giant comes shortly after reports surfaced that the actress is now engaged to Styles.
The engagement rumors surrounding the two reached a fever pitch following weeks of intense speculation and new public sightings. Insiders described the 32-year-old pop star as being “completely smitten” with the actress, with one source saying that he would essentially do anything for her.
The Blast reported that Kravitz is reportedly just as thrilled, with friends describing her as being “on cloud nine” as the couple takes this significant next step.
Zoë Kravitz Debuted A Million-Dollar Engagement Ring

While the reports of their engagement were initially based on insider tips, the visual evidence of their commitment recently became impossible to ignore on the streets of New York. Shortly after news of their status broke, Kravitz was seen prominently displaying a massive diamond ring that seemingly confirmed the relationship had reached a new level.
According to The Blast, Kravitz turned heads in New York City when she was spotted wearing a striking diamond on her ring finger while dressed in a casual “Boy Next Door” cap.
Despite her low-key outfit, the jewelry immediately became the main attraction, with experts estimating the piece is worth approximately $1 million.
Interestingly, this wasn’t the very first time the jewelry had made an appearance. Kravitz was photographed wearing the same diamond as far back as December, which suggests the proposal may have happened much earlier than many fans realized.
Channing Tatum Shared A Cryptic Post After The News Of Zoë Kravitz’ Engagement Broke

While Kravitz is reportedly looking toward a future with Styles and her million-dollar ring, her past relationship has resurfaced in the public eye through a series of emotional social media posts.
Her former fiancé, Channing Tatum, recently caught the attention of fans by sharing a deeply personal message just as news of her new engagement dominated the headlines.
The Blast reported that Tatum sparked widespread speculation when he posted a cryptic poem on his Instagram stories titled “My Brain And Heart Divorced” by John Roedel.
The poem describes a painful internal conflict where the mind and heart can no longer coexist, eventually sharing custody of a person while refusing to speak to one another. Many observers interpreted the move as a subtle reflection of his own feelings regarding his high-profile split from the actress.
Channing Tatum Seemingly Moves Toward Healing and Acceptance

While Tatum’s emotional social media activity highlighted his personal struggle, his most recent updates suggest he is finally finding a sense of peace with his ex-fiancée’s new life.
As Kravitz made headlines for her reported engagement, the actor shared another cryptic message that signaled a change in his perspective.
Tatum shared a video on Instagram that featured a seal floating peacefully in water to the song “Only Time” by Enya, with a caption describing a desire to let go and trust in the “flow of the universe,” per The Blast.
According to those close to the actor, Tatum was initially surprised by how quickly Kravitz and Styles moved toward an engagement, but he has chosen not to dwell on the situation.

Tyler Stanaland Expecting 1st Baby With Wife Hannah
Tyler Stanaland and his wife, Hannah Stanaland, are expecting a baby together.
The couple announced the happy news via a joint Instagram post shared on Friday, May 8.
“Half of you and half of me. Baby Stanaland coming October 2026. 🩷,” Tyler, 36, and Hannah captioned the post.
The first clip in the carousel showed a video of the couple’s feet. They were both wearing matching pink Converses. Seconds later, they dropped a smaller, child-size version of the same shoes into the frame to make the pregnancy announcement.
Another video showed Hannah lifting up her sweater to show off her blossoming baby bump while Tyler tenderly rubbed and kissed her stomach.
The Selling the OC star and Hannah got married in December 2025 less than a month after announcing their engagement.
“The wedding and getting to marry my best friend was an absolute dream come true in every way,” Stanaland told People at the time.
He noted in the article that he and Hannah eloped weeks earlier. “It was fun and intimate and intentional and about all the things it should be — two families becoming one and a celebration of love.”
Prior to tying the knot with Hannah, Tyler was married to Brittany Snow from 2020 to 2022.

Tyler announced the split via Instagram in September 2022 and the pair finalized their divorce the following year.
“After time and consideration, Britt and I have made the difficult decision to separate. This decision was made with love and mutual respect for one another,” he wrote. “We have realized we need to take some time and make sure we are each living our most fulfilling and authentic lives.”
He continued, “We started this journey as best friends and our relationship will continue to be a priority not only for us but for our dog, Charlie. We sincerely appreciate your support and ask for privacy as we navigate this new chapter.”
Snow reflected on their marriage to Tyler while appearing on the “Call Her Daddy” in March 2024.
“There was a marriage there. There was so much love,” she said. “I think that gray [area] is hard to understand because it’s much more salacious and interesting that it’s just like, ‘He did this, and she did this.’ I think a lot of people go into relationships where someone hurts them, but I don’t regret it. I don’t regret anything that happened. I loved that time that we had when we had it.”
In May 2025, Us Weekly confirmed that Tyler had moved on from Snow and struck up a romance with Hannah.
Tyler is very happily dating Hannah. While it’s relatively new, they’re having a lot of fun,” the insider shared with Us. “They’ve been traveling a bit together, and Tyler’s really happy.”
The couple announced their engagement in October 2025.
“Last week, in the very place we road tripped to shortly after we first met, I asked the best person I’ve ever known for forever,” Tyler shared via Instagram at the time. “Our little family just got a whole lot more official. 💒.”

Lord of the Rings Icon’s Haunting Sci-Fi Thriller Leaves Paramount+ Soon
Among the most popular storytelling templates of the last few decades is “Lone Wolf and Cub,” inspired by the Japanese manga about a samurai and his young son. You’ve seen it in The Mandalorian, The Last of Us, and even Logan. Hollywood fully embraced the template over two decades ago, with the Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning-led action-thriller film Man on Fire, which was recently remade as a streaming series on Netflix. A few years after the film’s release, Alfonso Cuarón directed the critically acclaimed sci-fi gem Children of Men, starring Clive Owen and Julianne Moore.
Although the template remains as popular as ever — The Mandalorian and Grogu is only a few days away — it has also produced several movies that have slipped through the cracks. Among them is a dystopian Western directed by genre specialist John Hillcoat, written by Mindhunter creator Joe Penhall, and headlined by Viggo Mortensen. The film also served as a launchpad of sorts for Kodi Smit-McPhee and featured veterans such as Charlize Theron and Guy Pearce. The film was based on a novel by the legendary Cormac McCarthy and released just two years after another McCarthy adaptation, No Country for Old Men, swept the Oscars.
Here’s How Long You Have Left to Watch the Dark Dystopian Western on Paramount+
We’re talking, of course, about The Road. Released in 2009, the movie underperformed at the box office, grossing $27 million worldwide against a reported budget of $25 million. Hillcoat’s two subsequent movies, Lawless and Triple 9, also underperformed commercially despite featuring popular stars. The Road‘s dark subject matter, which involved cannibalism, abandonment, and survival, made it a difficult sell to mainstream audiences. However, it was largely well-reviewed. The film holds a “Certified Fresh” 74% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “The Road‘s commitment to Cormac McCarthy’s dark vision may prove too unyielding for some, but the film benefits from hauntingly powerful performances from Viggo Mortensen and Kodi McPhee.” The movie was released only a year after the far more accessible post-apocalyptic action film The Book of Eli, which starred Washington and, funnily enough, also involved cannibals. You can watch The Road on Paramount+ in the United States, but only until May 24. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

M.I.A’s Marta Milans Wants Tony Goldwyn to Play Her Husband
Marta Milans is excited to dive deeper into her M.I.A character’s arc in season 2 — and she has the perfect person she hopes will come play her onscreen husband.
“I don’t know why Tony Goldwyn is in my mind right now,” Milans exclusively told Us Weekly after the Peacock show premiered on Thursday, May 7. “Since we were just talking about Scandal, it has to be some WASP royalty.”
Milans noted that Goldwyn “is the epitome” of a perfect scene partner, adding, “Let’s call him.”
Created by Ozark‘s Bill Dubuque, M.I.A is a crime drama focused on Etta Tiger Jonze (Shannon Gisela), who seeks to avenge her family’s murder and rise to power in the Miami underworld.
Milans, meanwhile, is related to the crime family responsible for Etta’s family being murdered — but she is trying to set herself apart.
“Caroline is not a criminal. She’s definitely on the edge. She is the daughter of a cartel leader but her dad made sure that Caroline would be the legitimate child — and he tries really hard to keep her out of that dark world,” she noted. “That is why I think her brothers have a chip on their shoulder about that and resent the fact that Caroline is the golden child. She gets sent off to university to get a great education. She comes back and she’s polished, well spoken and well dressed.”

Milans is meant to represent another side to the fictional crime family, telling Us, “She really carries that side very well. I think it’s fascinating to me to get to play that because she navigates both worlds very well. She does obviously walk over to the dark side later on in the season and you’ll see that. But until that moment, her ruthlessness and her hunger for getting her agenda and her goals executed will make her stop at nothing.”
The actress found it “really challenging and exciting” to play Caroline.
“It also is hilarious to me because her brothers will be torturing and killing people and they’re all dressed in perfectly crisp white shirts. You’re like, ‘You might want to wear something darker.’ But it works so well for that side of the story,” Milans said. “But then to also cut to Caroline and her ridiculous mansion with her luxurious suits and shoes. It was a lot of fun to create her wardrobe.”
Milans continued: “The way she presents herself is very informative of who she is and I think that was very exciting. … We had a wonderful showrunner that was very adamant about creating back stories for characters and that was very helpful to us.”
While reflecting on the work that went into M.I.A, Milans credited the writing team for helping evolve the show, saying, “We did get a lot of information that we could build on that’s not necessarily in the script or that is not talked about on screen. But if you inform that and build that, that really shines through. That’s part of the reason why the characters are so fully formed. Even if they’re cartel leaders, there is a layered construct in those characters. That was really important to me to dive deep into that.”
M.I.A is currently streaming on Peacock.

Netflix’s 3-Part Crime Epic Is So Addictive, You’ll Finish It in One Weekend
Pedro Pascal has blossomed into one of the biggest stars in the world in the last few years. While it’s tough to pinpoint what has contributed the most to his rising stardom, many fans would argue that The Mandalorian put more eyes on him than any of his other recent roles, which is ironic, considering he rarely shows his face in the show. Just last year, Pascal starred in the most financially successful movie of his career in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, alongside Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, and Ralph Ineson. He’s set to return to his now signature role of Reed Richards later this year in Avengers: Doomsday, which will certainly take the crown from F4 as the highest-grossing movie of Pascal’s career.
While Pascal has been a force in sci-fi and even fantasy with his work in Game of Thrones, he’s also starred in more grounded projects over the years. Pascal is one of the headlining stars in Netflix’s most binge-worthy crime saga of all time, Narcos. Pascal stars alongside Wagner Moura in the series, who recently earned his first Oscar nomination for his performance in The Secret Agent. He can also be heard lending his voice to the role of Brender Lawson in Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord. Narcos ran for three seasons between 2015 and 2017 — a timeline that’s almost unheard of nowadays — and although it’s approaching 10 years since an episode of the show was released, it remains one of the most popular binges in the world on Netflix. The same can be said for its spin-off, Narcos: Mexico, which also ran for three seasons and stars Scoot McNairy.
What Is ‘Narcos’ About?
Narcos is a chronicled look at the infamous exploits of the well-known Colombian drug lord, Pablo Escobar (played by Wagner Moura), as well as the other drug kingpins who plagued the country through the years. Pedro Pascal and Boyd Holbrook play DEA Agents Javier Peña and Steve Murphy, who are always on Escobar’s trail. Narcos holds strong scores of 89% from critics and 94% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes across all three seasons. The Netflix crime series was written and created for TV by Carlo Bernard, Chris Brancato, and Doug Miro.
Check out all episodes of Narcos and Narcos: Mexico on Netflix and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates and coverage of Pascal’s future projects.

Prime Video Made Crime Dramas Essential Again With This Modern Masterpiece
After years attempting to adapt one of his most popular characters for the big screen, author Michael Connelly‘s iconic character, Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch, ultimately debuted on television in 2014 with Prime Video’s crime drama series Bosch, kicking off a franchise that made the genre essential viewing for the streaming era. Over 10 years after the series first premiered, it’s time to revisit how Bosch became a television masterpiece.
‘Bosch’ Achieves an Incredible Layer of Realism
One element that makes Bosch unique among other contemporary police procedurals is its impressive realism. Bosch avoids the extra layer of polish or oversaturated color palette typically used in police procedurals airing on network television, so it never looks overproduced. The version of Los Angeles depicted in the Prime Video series resembles the one that people see if they step outside their front doors.
Bosch‘s gritty aesthetic also elevates the show’s immersion factor; the titular character’s station in the Rampart Division hardly looks like a state-of-the-art, high-tech facility. The show never looks like it’s shot on sets or sound stages, but rather genuine offices, conference rooms, buildings, and homes. The show purposely doesn’t appear overly fancy because it’s not trying to be a slick crime drama.
This unpolished look enhances Bosch‘s overall tone as it depicts the dark abyss that its lead character navigates in every season. The eponymous detective sees L.A. at its absolute worst, and viewers see the effect it has on his mental state. Consider what Renée Ballard (Maggie Q) asserts in the series finale of Bosch: Legacy: “When you do this work, you go into the darkness, and I think some of that darkness has gotten into you.” Every episode of Bosch carries that intangible darkness, which the series’ lead must routinely confront without letting it consume him.
Titus Welliver Leads a Stellar Cast in ‘Bosch’
Top to bottom, Bosch boasts an incredible cast, but none surpasses Welliver, who perfectly brings Connelly’s character to life on screen as a fully realized persona. Welliver’s portrayal is so convincing, in fact, that it’s impossible not to envision him in the role when reading any of Connelly’s books. The actor takes complete ownership of the detective and his facets, including his darker side, his dogged pursuit of justice, and his clear-cut moral code. Bosch lives by a creed of “everybody counts, or no one does,” so every victim deserves justice, no matter the circumstances. Every season, Welliver portrays Bosch meeting that challenge with aplomb.
Despite Bosch’s harsh and grimly cynical personality, Welliver also showcases the character’s softer, more compassionate side with his daughter, Madeline “Maddie” Bosch (Madison Lintz), as well as his relationship with LAPD Chief Irvin Irving (the late, great Lance Reddick). The two often clash over their differing styles and methodologies in police work, but the show’s best moments occur when they put aside their differences. Welliver and Reddick had amazing chemistry together onscreen, and their interpersonal dynamic was second to none. Reddick also took Irving one step further than his book counterpart, coining an iconic catchphrase about Bosch that’s become synonymous with the series.
‘Bosch’ Made Procedural Crime Dramas More Dangerous and Mature
Bosch‘s grounded aesthetic is enhanced by a more mature subject matter regarding the detective’s cases and investigations. Bosch is depicted in many episodes investigating serial killers, violence against women and children, and perpetrators of sexual abuse. Much like Connelly’s source material, the series doesn’t hold the audience’s hand regarding these powerful and sometimes intense depictions. However, the storylines are treated with the gravitas and seriousness they deserve, usually through Bosch acting as the sentinel of justice. The show doesn’t always wrap up various conflicts or mysteries with a neat little bow. Sometimes the outcomes of various cases feel hollow, which imbues the series with a more melancholy tone, but the writers still treat the material with thoughtful introspection.
Although Bosch has wrapped up and its sequel series, Bosch: Legacy, was canceled, the franchise lives on with the spin-off series, Ballard, which will debut its second season later this year on Prime Video. A planned prequel series, Bosch: Start of Watch, is also due to be released on the streamer. Despite its end, the indelible legacy of high-quality, adult crime dramas Bosch established still endures.

Lindsey Vonn and Skier Matthieu Bailet Spark Dating Rumors
Lindsey Vonn and French skier Matthieu Bailet sparked romance rumors after a recent outing.
Vonn, 41, and Bailet, 30, were spotted together on Thursday, May 7, in New York City. According to photos obtained by Page Six, the athletes were snapped walking around SoHo and sitting next to each other while waiting for the subway.
Bailet rocked a light blue button shirt paired with navy trousers and a matching sport coat.
Vonn donned white pants and a black jacket. She walked with crutches amid her recovery from her scary crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy in February.
While neither Vonn nor Bailet have addressed their connection, they do follow each other on social media. They are both alpine ski racers and have competed in the sport’s world cup numerous times.
In addition to her outing with Bailet, Vonn attended the Met Gala earlier this week. The Olympian ditched her crutches for the first time since her Olympics crash. Vonn stunned in a custom Thom Browne gown for the event.
Ahead of the annual fundraiser, Vonn spoke about how important it was for her to attend the event without her crutches.
“I’ve been in such a different world, especially since my crash,” she told Vogue ahead of the Met Gala. “This is kind of my coming-out party — I get to be around people, wearing a dress that’s beautiful and feminine, and put my crutches down for the first time.”
Vonn continued, “Monday will be the first few steps that I take — definitely first stairs — without crutches. I’m excited, for many reasons, to get to that point.”
Vonn suffered a compound fracture and tibial plateau fracture in her left leg after crashing at the Milano Cortina Games. She underwent multiple surgeries, including one to save her leg after suffering compartment syndrome.
Days before her crash at the Olympics, Vonn tore her ACL during her race at the World Cup in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. Despite the injury, she decided to still compete in the Olympics after undergoing physical tests.
“I have determined I am capable of competing in the Olympic Downhill on Sunday. Of course I will still need to do one training run, as is required to race on Sunday, but… I am confident in my body’s ability to perform,” she said ahead of the race. “Despite my injuries my knee is stable, I do not have swelling and my muscles are firing and reacting as they should. I will obviously be continuing to evaluate with my medical team on a daily basis to make sure we are making smart decisions but I have every intention of competing on Sunday.”
Following her multiple surgeries, Vonn embarked on an intense rehab plan that included hyperbaric chamber sessions and a workout regimen.
“All these things, it took time,” she said. “There were so many layers to it. That made it challenging. And then of course, when you have such slow progress, that inevitably becomes more mentally challenging as well.”
