Will Handmaid’s Tale’s Elisabeth Moss Be in Testaments Spinoff?

Published

on

Hulu is expanding The Handmaid’s Tale universe with The Testaments spinoff — but will Elisabeth Moss reprise her role as June?

Moss, 43, was asked about the possibility of returning to Gilead during the Thursday, March 19, episode of The View, to which she replied, “I couldn’t tell you if I was! It’s been really cool. [Producing the show] means I didn’t have to say goodbye to the world, which I was very happy about.”

The actress also praised Chase Infiniti, who plays her onscreen daughter.

“Obviously, getting to be part of anything Chase is part of is so exciting and such an honor. It’s cool,” Moss said while calling The Testaments a show “for people who love the show and love Handmaid’s, but it’s also for people who’ve never seen Handmaid’s. No offense taken, it’s just a little bit different.”

Hulu Hulu’s highly anticipated The Handmaid’s Tale spinoff The Testaments is in the works — but what is there to know about the show so far? Margaret Atwood’s dystopian universe was initially brought to life with The Handmaid’s Tale, which is based on the novel of the same name about a future where low fertility […]

Based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale took place in a dystopian future where low fertility rates led women to be assigned to men for bearing children. The series aired from 2017 to 2025.

The Testaments, which premieres April 8, is set three to four years later. Ann Dowd‘s Aunt Lydia serves as the narrator as viewers are thrust back into the dystopian future. Agnes and Daisy pose as “Pearl Girls” to infiltrate Canada in an attempt to smuggle incriminating information about Gilead’s regime, while Aunt Lydia acts as a covert source within Gilead.

In addition to Infiniti, 25, and Dowd, The Testaments stars Eva Foote, Rowan Blanchard, Kira Guloien, Amy Seimetz and Brad Alexander. Birva Pandya, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Mattea Conforti, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Mabel Li and Isolde Ardies make up the rest of the cast.

Creator Bruce Miller previously opened up about how closely the series would follow Atwood’s book The Testaments, hinting that “it’s not going to track precisely” to the novel.

“Margaret writes these absolutely deliciously specific characters,” he told TVLine in 2022. “We had to go away from that in Handmaid’s, and we’re going to have to go away from that in Testaments. Testaments is certainly going to be a sequel to the show.”

More recently, Infiniti, 25, revealed she didn’t meet Moss until she was nearly done filming The Testaments.

“I actually didn’t get to meet Elisabeth Moss really until the end [of filming],” Infiniti told People in January.

Infiniti recalled Moss’ advice to her, adding, “But she kind of immediately after I met her, wrapped me into a big hug and was kind of like, ‘You got this. You got this. OK? You got it.’”

Jordan Ngatikaura

Will MomTok survive all that’s happened in just the past week?

The cast of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” seem to be working overtime in the drama department lately. Shortly after season 4 was released, and just before the new season of “The Bachelorette” was about to begin, Taylor Frankie Paul‘s life turned upside. News of Mikayla Matthews and her husband Jace Terry’s separation have fans talking. And now add one more shocking moment to the list – Jessi Draper‘s husband, Jordan Ngatikaura has filed for divorce.

Did we mention that Jordan filed for divorce the same day ABC cancelled season 22 of “The Bachelorette,” sending MomTok fans into a frenzy of information, speculation, and chatter?

Jordan Ngatikaura Files For Divorce From Jessi Draper After 5 Years Of Marriage

According to Entertainment Weekly, Jordan filed for divorce in a Provo, Utah district court on Thursday, March 19, which just happens to be the same day ABC decided to cancel the upcoming season of “The Bachelorette” starring Taylor Frankie Paul, Jessi’s “Mormon Wives” castmate.

“This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart. I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons,” Jordan told Entertainment Weekly. “While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition.”

The couple, married for five years, share two children, son Jagger Zayn, 5, and daughter Jovi, 3. Jordan also has a daughter from a previous relationship.

While this is likely not a surprise to “Mormon Wives” fans as they watched the married endure some tough times, including a 90-day separation, the timing might be the most shocking part.

Not Long Before Jordan Filed For Divorce, Jessi Said They Were ‘Taking It Day By Day’

During an interview with Cosmopolitan just before the season 4 premiere, Jessi said the couple was “in a lot of therapy” and were “taking it day by day.”

Fans may have noticed that a while back, Jessi changed her name on her social media accounts from Jessi Ngatikaura to Jessi Draper, her maiden name, sparking conversations about just where the two actually stand with their relationship off camera.

In a scene during season 4, Jessi and Jordan have that discussion, and Jordan absolutely didn’t seem to like it.

According to Jessi, she changed her name for her “career” because Ngatikuara “is such a hard name to pronounce, and it just didn’t make sense” for her “public career.”

“But there was a part of me, too, that was like, ‘Things [with Jordan] are rocky, and if it goes this way, at least people already know me as Draper,’” she said.

Many Fans Are Shocked That Jordan Filed For Divorce And Not Jessi

Anyone who watches the hit Hulu reality show is probably wondering how it was Jordan that filed for divorce and not Jessi. Viral TikToker @stephwithdadeets, who covers “Mormon Wives” news and has even been featured on the show for her coverage, recently shared a TikTok video talking about it.

“I’m sorry, Jordan filed for divorce?” she began her video. “Self-proclaimed DadTok leader? Like, you’ve got to be kidding me. I’m gonna be really honest guys, I wanted them to divorce, I say that with the most respect, I guess you can say. I’m not saying it to be mean, but it was so clear that these two, it wasn’t going anywhere, but I definitely wanted Jessi to be filing.”

She brought up the fact that Jordan chose “right now” to file for divorce, amid “all the other headlines.” She also said she’s curious as to what’s going to happen with the prenup that Jessi talked about during an episode of season 4, where she said it’s not valid and she’s scared he’s going to get half of all she’s earned.

Talk About The Prenup Dominates The Comment Section

Viewers had a lot to say in the comments about the prenup situation.

“He saw all the things she said about the prenup and divorce in season 4 and ran to do this praying Jessi hadn’t figured out how to make the prenup stand,” one person wrote. Another added, “Anyone else think this is because he saw what was said in season 4 about the prenup regardless though, Jessi will be better off.” And one other said, “Tell me you watched the prenup episode without telling me, Jordan.”

Steph ended her video talking about many fans’ hatred for DadTok.

“You know what’s annoying to me, it’s like DadTok right now has the power, it seems like,” she said. “And that just annoys me cause I am annoyed by DadTok in general.”

Speaking Of DadTok…

The topic of DadTok has been keeping fans busy complaining, as it seems not many are enjoying their content or extra time on the show.

Jessi recently shared a joking video on TikTok about DadTok’s presence on the show and fans didn’t hesitate to share their thoughts in the comment section.

Secret Lives on Hulu wrote, “MomTok’s everything. DadTok’s just… Ken.” Another account wrote, “What about replacing it with DogTok?”

One viewer said, “Only watched the first episode and they’re already too much.” And one other added, “Please tell producers (yourselves?) no more DadTok. it’s too much.”

Days of our Lives: JJ’s Emotional Breakdown After Shawn Gets Shot!?

Published

on

Days of Our Lives: JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) - Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer)

Days of Our Lives reveals detectives JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) and Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer) had a near fatal encounter with Vivian Alamain’s (Louise Sorel) henchman Klaus Mueller (Bassel Alzaro) this week, and Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) was about to be shot by Klaus when JJ showed up, but then the detective froze and nearly got them both killed.

Thankfully, Shawn showed up and saved the day. But it seems like JJ might be on the brink of a spiral. And I wonder if he’s going to hit the booze or pill bottle like he’s done in the past or something much more terrible that he’s done in the past when he was spiraling. We’re going to dive into what happens to JJ.

JJ Freezes During Shootout with Klaus on Days of Our Lives

So, we have JJ quite shell shocked. And now Shawn is gravely wounded, but the good news is he will be okay. He’s in the hospital after the run-in and double shooting with Klaus. So, good news is that Shawn seems to have finished off awful Klaus. We could soon see JJ spiraling after failing to protect his work partner and cousin, Shawn.

And JJ also just nearly stood there and allowed Liam to get shot in the standoff, too. I mean, he was injured, but not seriously. And honestly, I kind of felt this might have been coming given many of the hints they dropped during JJ and Theo Carver’s (Cameron Johnson) interactions and conversations over the last couple of months.

Advertisement

You know, JJ felt like he was in a good place in life. He was taking sensitivity training courses. He was going to counseling as part of his healing from the trauma of shooting Theo Carver years ago. And of course, he has since forgiven JJ and decided that he’s all right with him being on the force again. Theo, you know, brought that up.

JJ’s DOOL Past: Shooting Theo and Nearly Taking His Own Life

So, a little backstory for those who may not know, may not remember, maybe newer. About eight years ago, rookie cop JJ Deveraux shot Theo while he was fleeing a break-in scene in a hoodie. Theo had been hired to do some hacking. I think Cade had hired him, so he was out doing some shady stuff, but JJ fired. And Theo was clearly unarmed.

JJ was devastated when he saw that he had shot Theo. And back then after the shooting, JJ wound up on the brink of suicide. He even wrote goodbye letters to all of his loved ones, gave away all of his possessions. Not only that, but he broke up with his then girlfriend, Lani Price (Sal Stowers), because of all the guilt he was suffering.

And JJ was facing suspension and charges with the SPD. So, he just couldn’t take it anymore. Then JJ went and checked into a hotel on Christmas Eve 2017. And I guess that’s eight and a half, nine years ago. So he planned on intentionally overdosing himself.

Days of our Lives: Gabi Saves JJ

However, Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) just had this feeling, this gut feeling, a hunch that JJ needed help. And she got there in the nick of time and stopped him. And then Gabi stayed the night with JJ to keep him safe and was talking him through the deep depression and this rock bottom moment he was in. After that, things began to slowly get better for JJ.

Then Theo woke up from his coma. That was Christmas Day 2017, but he was paralyzed and there was a very long road to recovery for Theo. But he eventually learned to walk again. And he was at this specialized rehab center in Johannesburg, South Africa and Theo forgave JJ’s awful mistake and then you know he moved there and he and Theo became roommates and business partners in South Africa.

So, in recent months we had Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) bringing Theo home from South Africa to run DiMera Enterprises and he was stunned to find that JJ was back in Salem and had a job with the Salem PD again. And if you don’t remember, his girlfriend cheated and JJ was upset.

That’s why he came back to town before Theo. And Theo went and tried to get top cop Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) to fire JJ and was telling her stuff about the shooting. But Jada insisted that JJ was a good cop and he was taking the necessary classes and getting counseling to stay a police officer and do a good job at it.

JJ Had a PTSD Flashback During the Shootout on Days

And now Theo and JJ have finally reached a level of trust again, and they actually celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at the Brady Pub together drinking those green spritzers. But things took a turn when JJ came back to the pub. He had left something behind when he was sitting with Theo.

And that’s when JJ ran into Shawn and they were kind of catching up for a moment and then Shawn got a message that Klaus was spotted in the warehouse district. So, JJ and Shawn raced out of the Brady Pub, headed over to find the bad guy.

Meanwhile, Klaus had caught up with Liam and he had his gun out and Klaus was about to put a bullet in Liam’s head to tie up a loose end so he couldn’t implicate Vivian in the DiMera kidnappings.

But JJ got there first, right after, you know, Liam and Klaus got there and he stepped in front of Liam while Klaus was aiming at the guy. And then JJ just froze up. Then he was haunted by this flashback of the night he almost killed Theo while on duty. And that delay gave Klaus time to fire and a bullet grazed Liam’s arm.

Days of our Lives: Shawn Saves the Day

And then Shawn showed up and leaped in front of both of them, JJ and Liam, right as Klaus was getting ready to shoot a gun and Shawn and Klaus exchanged gunfire same time. Meanwhile, Liam took off running. He’s terrified, understandably, and both Klaus and Shawn were shot and JJ just stood there in disbelief and then he finally snapped out of it and called for help.

Thankfully, Days of Our Lives spoilers point to Shawn making it through. He and JJ are talking at the end of this week at University Hospital. And I wonder if JJ is gonna tell Shawn that it’s his fault he got shot because he froze up and he couldn’t do his duty.

Will JJ Spiral Again?

This turn of events could actually cost JJ everything all over again. JJ may be on leave along with Shawn while Jada has to investigate an officer involved shooting. The last time JJ discharged his firearm in the line of duty was the incident with Theo. And of course JJ almost committed suicide over all that. Now his cousin Shawn is lucky to be alive and JJ freezing up is definitely a contributing factor to his shooting.

And this time the guilt he feels is going to be different because JJ just did nothing. He didn’t shoot. He didn’t do what he’s supposed to do, what he’s trained to do. Three people wound up with bullet wounds. Liam with a very minor one, Shawn with one more serious, and Klaus who seems to be enjoying a dirt nap at this point.

Then we could see JJ turning to drinking or drugs over all this to start numbing the pain again. If you remember, JJ had a drug problem right out of high school. Plus, he isn’t in a relationship with anybody right now, so he’s lonely, and that means nobody’s there to see the warning signs. His parents are across the country. But thankfully, he is not living alone. And of course, the Gabi ship sailed a while ago when JJ suspected she shot EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel).

Days of our Lives: Will Gabi Step in Again?

But maybe she’ll see these same warning signs. And hopefully Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) is going to keep a watchful eye on JJ because he’s family and he’s living in the Horton house. However, Julie’s pretty busy. So, you know, we’ll see.

And this could get awkward for JJ and Julie, especially since she’s tutoring Liam. And of course, we know that Theo isn’t thrilled that Liam’s around because that was his high school bully. To be fair, petty criminal Liam did apologize for his role in the DiMera kidnappings, which Theo got pulled into.

So, will JJ tell Shawn the truth that he had a PTSD flashback and just stood there and couldn’t do his job and that’s why Liam got shot and that’s why Shawn got shot? So, I wonder if Theo is going to be there to comfort JJ. I do think Theo is somebody that JJ might confide in.

And I also really hope JJ doesn’t spiral out. You know, maybe Gabi will see the signs and help him through or tell other people they need to help him. The new police drama may not be good for anybody involved, especially JJ Deveraux. But at least Shawn is going to survive.

Acting Like You Care Is As Important As The Real Thing

Acting Like You Care Is As Important As The Real Thing

By Robert Scucci
| Updated

It’s 2026 and everything sucks. The cost of living has gone up exponentially, and quality of life has dipped right along with it. Lines are longer, everything is automated, nobody’s paid enough to care, and I don’t blame them. When you’re stuck renting from people who treat the concept of a home as an investment opportunity, don’t have a lawn to call your own, and pay a third of your income in taxes before getting taxed again on every purchase, it’s really easy to stop caring. After all, what’s the point? The average person can’t get ahead, and when they do, some medical emergency or unexpected financial hurdle sets them back three years.

It’s really easy to not care. But here’s the counterpoint nobody tells you: it’s really easy to pretend that you do care. In fact, acting like you care is a skill you should always be fine-tuning because it will change everything for you.

From McDonald’s To The Corner Office

I rarely eat fast food anymore. The value just isn’t there, and getting the correct order feels like a coin toss. It’s a shame because fast food is supposed to be convenient and engineered to be delicious. I’d probably hit the drive-thru more often on a busy day if it wasn’t easier and cheaper to cook at home. Which is unfortunate, because there’s nothing better than a burger and fries after the day escapes you.

The last time I got McDonald’s, I was coming home from a gig, hadn’t eaten all day, and was dreaming about a Quarter Pounder like a cartoon character hallucinating a roasted turkey in the desert. I reached into the bag to do a quality check before leaving. My hand, the burger box, and the bag itself were soaked, like the whole thing had been dunked in a grease trap and served anyway. “No biggie, I’ll just go inside and get this fixed,” was my thought.

When I asked for new food that wasn’t drenched to the point of falling apart, the response I got was “that’s just the grease,” followed by blank stares. After about 10 minutes of trying to get my food and go home, my hangriness kicked in and I said, “I’m not asking you to give a sh*t, but could you at least pretend you do?” Which, honestly, is something we could all do better.

Mistakes happen. That’s fine. But the general sense of malaise I’m sensing, not just at McDonald’s but everywhere, is palpable. On one hand, I get it. The graveyard shift sucks, and I probably caught someone on an off day. But a simple “sorry about that, your concern is valid, we’ll fix it” goes a long way. Acting like you care costs nothing.

Advertisement

During my tenure as an office drone, I ran into high levels of not caring on a daily basis. So much so that when my fellow supervisors and I had to distribute annual performance bonuses, we often favored the employees who acted like they cared. They weren’t always killing it all the time, but they showed up, owned their mistakes, vowed to do better, and were generally pleasant to be around. The higher performers who outwardly didn’t care, on the other hand, brought everybody down with them because not caring in this kind of setting is rightfully contagious, making everybody else miserable and less productive in the process.

When I epically messed up an account thanks to my own carelessness, I’d hear the client out, explain what went wrong, and assure them safeguards would be put in place so it didn’t happen again.

The reality was I didn’t really care. We were all overworked, underpaid, and constantly reminded how expendable we were. But when I got pulled into a corner office to get chewed out, I treated the issue with urgency, smoothed things over, and moved on. The people who were past the point of saving would get defensive and combative, not realizing how quickly things could escalate against them. 

Actually Caring Is Better, But We Can’t Do That All The Time

Anybody with young kids will tell you they have a sixth sense for unloading on you when your mental bandwidth is maxed. You’ll be on the side of the road changing a flat tire while they’re talking a mile a minute about their favorite Paw Patrol episode or one of their 25 classmates in excruciating detail. In those moments, you may not care at all, but you do care about your kids. That’s the difference. Getting on their level and letting them know they’re seen and heard is all it takes. Acting like you care when you have much more pressing issues in front of you still counts. It actually means the world to them. They just want to know you’re present and listening.

I’ve been driving around for a month with a rotten pinecone sticking out of my center console because my 4-year-old son gave it to me. I hate that pinecone. I want to throw it out the window every time I start the car, but every time we buckle up, he’s so proud of it and beyond happy that I kept it. Even though I’m pretty sure it’s moments away from releasing spiders.

The pinecone.

The secret nobody wants to tell you is that showing up is 99.99999 percent of everything. Whether you’re in a band, a bowling league, or just roped into bringing something to the dinner party you were dragged along to, putting in even a small amount of effort and acting like you care gets noticed. That particular something you showed up to means something to somebody. Stepping outside of yourself is a superpower because it’s so easy to cancel plans. We’ve all done it. And we all should sometimes.

You can’t always be on your A game. That’s impossible. There will always be days where you couldn’t give a rat’s ass about anything. But acting like you care, even when you don’t, has a ripple effect that makes the day-to-day grind more tolerable for everyone around you. And more often than not, it ends up working in your favor too because people notice.

Justin Bieber And Usher’s Past Diddy Link Faces Scrutiny After ‘Heated’ Clash

Published

Justin Bieber outside The League in Los Angeles

Justin Bieber reportedly had a heated moment with his former mentor, Usher, at an afterparty, which has now sparked new attention over their links to disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Usher, whom Bieber was once signed to under his record label, is known to have been mentored by Diddy. That relationship led to Bieber being within Diddy’s circle for a while at a young age, as seen in resurfaced videos last year.

In the wake of Diddy’s legal drama, Bieber has denied ever being assaulted by the rapper. However, his demeanor in recent months has sparked concerns about his well-being.

The Reason Behind Justin Bieber And Usher’s Alleged Altercation Remains Unclear

Since an outing at Coeur d’Alene Lake in Idaho in 2022, Justin Bieber and have not been seen in public together until they recently reunited at an Oscar afterparty hosted by Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

Surprisingly, the reunion was not a moment of camaraderie, as sources told TMZ that the two got into a heated exchange despite being in the presence of other high-profile individuals like Taylor Swift, Michael B. Jordan, Ryan Coogler, Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, and Austin Butler.

According to some insiders, the heated exchange escalated into a fistfight, while others claim it did not go that far.

Some also stated that Usher approached Justin at the party with “energy and anger,” which seemingly sparked the drama.

While the cause of the alleged altercation remains unclear, it has raised renewed interest in Usher and Bieber’s links to disgraced rapper Diddy.

Both Bieber and Usher were protégés of Diddy, which, at the time the music mogul’s sexual misconduct allegations emerged, sparked speculation over whether Usher may have allowed Bieber to be exposed to inappropriate situations by bringing the then-teenage star into Diddy’s circle.

That narrative was revisited by netizens in the comment sections of posts about the altercation between Bieber and Usher.

“It’s probably because Usher introduced Bieber to Diddy when he was a kid,” one user noted about the alleged fight, while another wrote, “I bet it had something to do with Diddy.”

A third netizen asked, “Wonder if it went something like ‘You knew about Puff and still left me alone at his crib?’”

Another person claimed, “We all know why!! Bro still traumatized getting DIDDIED and knows Usher was the main reason!”

One more individual commented, “This happens when you grow up and realize that a whole lot of people from your past mistreated you when you were a child. And it’s unbearably painful to remember how people whom you looked up to betrayed you.”

Justin Bieber Once Spent 48 Hours With Diddy As A Teenager

Amid Diddy’s legal issues, videos of him and Bieber resurfaced, with one in particular allegedly showing the two spending 48 hours together.

The video did not reveal much about what they planned to do, but the pair did discuss the prospect of getting “some girls.”

“Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” Diddy could be seen saying in the video, per The Blast.

“For the next 48 hours, he’s with me. And we’re gonna go full. Buck full crazy,” Combs also remarked in the footage.

Bieber, at the time, was still signed under Usher, who is believed to have permitted the then-teenage pop star to spend time with the music mogul.

Usher once spoke out about his experience as an upcoming artist being mentored by Diddy.

In a 2016 interview on “The Howard Stern Show,” the singer recalled his time living at the rapper’s home when he was just 14 years old.

In the video of the interview, Usher alleged that it was LA Reid’s idea for him to live with the rapper so he could “see the lifestyle.”

When host Stern asked Usher if Diddy’s house was “filled with chicks and orgying nonstop,” the 47-year-old responded, “Not really… I got a chance to see some things. I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at.”

“It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place, and I didn’t necessarily understand it,” Usher admitted.

Stern then asked him if he would send his kids to “Puffy Flavor Camp,” and Usher replied, “Hell no!”

Justin Bieber Denied Being Molested By Diddy

During Diddy’s trial, Bieber offered no public stance and has remained silent even after the music mogul was found not guilty of his most serious sexual crime charges.

However, Bieber, through a representative, denied being assaulted by the Bad Boy Records founder.

“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” read the statement that emerged in March 2025. “Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”

Despite the denial, Bieber’s behavior in the months that followed has hinted at at least some underlying issues. The pop star has displayed a number of strange behaviors on social media, which have since sparked concerns among netizens about his mental well-being.

More On Latto’s Maternity Reveal

As The Shade Room previously reported, on Thursday, March 19, Latto teased that she had a major announcement on the way, and fans couldn’t tell if she was teasing a new music release or a baby.

Turns out — she was teasing both. At midnight on Friday, Latto released a music video titled ‘Business & Personal,’ and revealed her growing baby bump alongside a pair of manly hands belonging to a mystery man, whom some believe is 21 Savage, per The Shade Room.

Since then, Brooklyn Nikole has taken to social media to share a sentimental message about her sister’s milestone.

Dave Grohl Goes to Therapy 6 Days a Week After Affair

Published

on

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl started regular therapy sessions after admitting to infidelity in 2024.

“I’ve been in therapy six days a week for 70 weeks,”Grohl, 57, said in an interview with The Guardian published on Friday, March 20. “I did the math the other day: over 430 sessions.”

The timeline leads right back to September 2024, when the singer publicly admitted to fathering a child outside of his marriage to Jordyn Blum.

“There were so many things that led me to this therapy,” he said. Elsewhere in the interview, Grohl appeared to address the scandal, admitting that he “needed to stop and sit with myself and reevaluate myself” — but noted that self-reflection was necessary for “many reasons” other than just stepping outside of his marriage.

“I have to be perfectly honest. Writing songs and writing lyrics about these things is sometimes enough,” Grohl explained. “As far as having a deeper, longer conversation about them, I still do reserve a lot of this for my own personal life, as impersonal and public as it may seem.”

In September 2024, Grohl took to Instagram and announced that he welcomed a daughter with someone that was not his wife. (The woman was later identified as Jennifer Young.)

“I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” Grohl wrote at the time. “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”

Grohl and Blum have been married since 2003. They are parents of three daughters: Violet, 19, Harper, 16, and Ophelia, 11.

During Friday’s interview with The Guardian, Grohl looked back on his decision to admit his infidelity in such a public manner.

“I had to turn everything off, one of those things being my concern for what other people think,” the musician said. “Being able to shut off that part of yourself can be sometimes a very healthy exercise in considering life within your immediate radius. Not giving all of that so much currency within yourself that it can completely destroy yourself.”

Dave Grohl has experienced his fair share of relationship drama while in the public eye, including multiple cheating scandals. The Foo Fighters rocker has been married twice and stepped outside his marriage both times. He and first wife Jennifer Leigh Youngblood married in 1994. “When I first met my wife, we went out on a […]

Grohl went on to say that he’s been “overly ambitious” with certain aspects of his career. While he achieved several goals to feel something, it didn’t work.

“It feels good for 24 f***ing hours, and that feeling immediately goes away,” he said. “And there’s that hole again, there’s that emptiness, and you’re like, ‘S***, I need to fill it up with something else.’”

This is not, however, why he cheated on Blum.

“I think that’s how I ended up overextending myself and getting lost. I wasn’t sitting with myself and really letting [feelings] go from my head into my heart,” he said. “Getting to the point where I was just like, ‘I need to stop, turn everything off and find my heart.’”

Marquee Dayclub Reemerges For A New Era Of Vegas Daylife

Published

on

PIcture of the pool at Marquee Dayclub

Las Vegas has always belonged to those who dream biggest — and this weekend, Marquee Dayclub raises the bar once more. After a sweeping reimagination of its iconic rooftop pool at The Cosmopolitan, one of the city’s most beloved daytime destinations reopens with a look, a sound, and an energy that rewrites what daylife can be.

This isn’t a facelift. This is a full reinvention. Marquee Dayclub’s 2026 grand reopening marks the culmination of a transformative collaboration with Rockwell Group — the acclaimed design firm behind some of the world’s most extraordinary hospitality experiences — resulting in an outdoor space that feels simultaneously intimate and electric, desert-grounded and Vegas-spectacular.

DESERT SKY, REIMAGINED

Step into the refreshed Marquee Dayclub and you immediately feel the shift. Guests enter directly from Marquee Nightclub, moving from its deep purples and velvet textures into a sun-kissed world of water, stone, and woven warmth. The contrast is intentional — and breathtaking.

Rockwell Group drew inspiration from the Mojave’s ever-shifting skies, building a palette of warm terracottas, soft blushes, cool lilacs, and sun-bleached neutrals that play across the deck from morning into golden hour. That gradient reaches its most dramatic expression in custom murals wrapping the curved rotunda walls, where amber transitions to lavender in forms that echo the arc of the desert sun. Soft, organic shapes define the space throughout — arched portals, rounded daybeds, scalloped cabana trims — all contrasting beautifully with the venue’s bold architectural canopy and structural rhythm. It’s a tension the designers clearly relished: serene and spectacular, cozy and grand.

CABANAS, POOLS & PURE LUXURY

The redesigned pool deck anchors the experience: a long central pool flanked by upgraded VIP cabanas, lounge daybeds, and open-air seating that invite guests to settle in, sip, and stay awhile. Each cabana is a world of its own — draped curtains, striped wallcoverings, tactile upholstery, and sculptural mirrors create a sense of refined privacy just steps from the action.

The crown jewel: a series of VIP in-water daybeds at the edges of private pools, draped in translucent curtains that flutter with the desert breeze. Marquee’s Grand Cabanas elevate the concept further — semi-enclosed retreats with ceiling fans, panoramic Strip views, and plush sectional seating that feel more like boutique suites than poolside perches. A curated food and beverage menu rounds out an all-day experience designed to keep guests exactly where they want to be.

BUILT FOR THE DROP

At the heart of the dayclub’s rebirth is a dramatically reimagined performance zone. The DJ booth and stage have been redesigned as a sculptural focal point — a sweeping overhead canopy washed in gradient LED lighting stretches out over the crowd, mirroring the colors of a desert sunset. Below it, a stone counter with a powder-coated mesh front and painted arch pattern gives the booth a monumental, gallery-worthy presence.

Paired with a completely new, world-class sound system, the stage isn’t just a backdrop — it’s the beating heart of the space. Columns surrounding the pool deck feature digital screen wraps that allow the entire environment to transform as the day progresses, syncing the visual experience with the music for a truly immersive atmosphere unlike anything else on the Strip.

Martin Garrix Headlines Relaunch

Helping christen the newly reimagined space is none other than Martin Garrix, who takes the decks at Marquee Dayclub this Saturday, March 21st alongside fellow Dutch talent Justin Mylo. A three-time holder of the #1 spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100, Garrix has headlined festivals across the globe and locked down residencies at some of the world’s most prestigious clubs Tao Group — making him the perfect headliner to inaugurate Marquee’s brand-new stage and sound system. There’s no better way to debut a world-class performance setup than with one of the world’s biggest DJs behind the booth.

Mormon Wives’ Jessi, Jordan Ngatikaura’s Relationship Timeline

Published

on

Jessi Ngatikaura’s marriage to Jordan Ngatikaura made headlines after she admitted on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives that she had an affair with Marciano Brunette.

The couple started dating and got married before the hit Hulu series premiered in September 2024. During the first season, Jessi’s personal life wasn’t in the spotlight, but that all changed after she filmed two episodes of Vanderpump Villa. From there, rumors spread about Jessi’s relationship with Marciano, which she denied was anything more than a friendship while filming season 2.

The season 2 finale, which aired in May 2025, took Us by surprise when Marciano claimed he slept with Jessi. She didn’t initially clarify the allegations but noted that there was more to the story, which would play out on screen.

“I’ll say I’m an open book. Even though there were things I hadn’t shared yet — once I was in the position to share them — I have nothing to hide,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2025. “I was willing to just lay it all on the table.”

For some The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives couples, going on a reality TV show made their marriage stronger — while others crumbled under the pressure. When Hulu debuted The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in September 2024, viewers were introduced to Jen Affleck and husband Zac Affleck, Demi Engemann and husband Bret Engemann, Whitney […]

Jessi said it is important to “just be honest,” sharing, “I’ve made mistakes. My husband has made mistakes. Everyone in their life has made mistakes. I think sharing those is relatable and hopefully people can get something out of it.”

Despite the ongoing obstacles, Jessi sounded hopeful about her future with Jordan.

“Every relationship has ups and downs. But when you’re on reality TV, it puts a microscope on it and everyone sees everything and has opinions. It’s hard not to have it affect your friendships, your relationships and your family life,” she noted. “That was definitely hard.”

Jessi continued: “Now that we’re done filming for a little while, I’m just going to focus on my family, my kids and get back on track with all of that. Then hopefully I will be in a better head space for the next time we film — if we do.”

The reality star acknowledged how filming the show played a role in her and Jordan’s marriage issues, saying, “It was definitely probably the hardest time of my life filming the next season. I do think it’s going to help a lot of people. I’m excited to share my story and help with what some women go through. I do think that it’s going to be a good thing — as hard as it is.”

The second season of Mormon Wives called Jessi’s marriage into question when Marciano claimed they had an affair. Jessi denied the allegations but later admitted she had issues she needed to address with Jordan.

“I will say that reality TV is hard on any relationship, whether it’s a friendship or a marriage,” Jessi revealed on “The Viall Files” podcast in May 2025. “We’ve been through a lot, and now it’s going to be public.”

Jessi was also asked about not wearing a wedding ring and noted that she and Jordan were “working through things,” adding, “We’re trying our best — but things are a little tricky right now. I’m excited to hopefully someday share more about that. But right now it’s just real life and it’s hard.”

Jessi was directly asked whether she had sex with Marciano at the Mormon Wives reunion.

“A lot of this story is unpacked in season 3 so I can’t talk about it yet,” she said before assuming that Jordan felt “anxious, nervous and sad” hearing her discuss a possible affair. “We’re both going through a lot right now. But I think he’s willing to tell his truth too and he’s been very vulnerable throughout season 3. 
So we both just laid it all out there. There was a lot more to the story and it’s not what you think it is. There’s no secrets. Like, we are exposing it all.”

Jessi clarified that any interactions with Marciano happened “after” he allegedly spoke with Demi off screen. Later in the special, Jordan joined the group and revealed whether he thought he and Jessi would work through their issues.

“I knew what happened because of the conversations that I had had with Jessi, but it was really tough to have the allegations made,” he said about continuing to work through their issues. “I tried to talk to Bret [about Marciano]. It’s a really tough place to be. I see him a couple times a week. We wave at each other at the gym, but outside of that we don’t talk.”

July 2025

In the season 3 trailer, Jordan’s immediate reaction to the rumors about Marciano and Jessi played out, with him saying, “If I find anything else out, I am done.”

Jessi, for her part, was later seen asking Marciano, “Why did you lie to Layla about us?” Marciano hinted that he was “influenced” by Demi and even agreed to a lie detector test with Jessi about what actually happened between them.

November 2025

The third season revealed that Jessi and Jordan were going through marriage issues when she had a two-week emotional affair with Marciano. Jessi, who claimed Jordan was emotionally abusive, cut ties with Marciano and has since reconciled with her husband after filming wrapped.

March 2026

“This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart,” Jordan said in a statement to Us Weekly. “I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons. While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition.”

The statement continued: “I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family.”
