Donald Trump Jr. secretly tied the knot with his second wife, Bettina Anderson, ahead of their Bahamas wedding — which the groom’s father, President Donald J. Trump, said he does not plan to attend.
Court documents obtained by Us Weekly show that the couple obtained a marriage license in Palm Beach County, Florida, on Thursday, May 21. The legal document was signed off by a deputy clerk, with real estate attorney Brad McPherson officiating the private ceremony.
The marriage license indicated that Anderson, a socialite and model, does not plan to take on “Trump” as her legal last name.
Us Weekly reached out to a rep for Donald Jr. for comment.
TMZ reported that Donald Jr., 48, and Anderson, 39, plan to tie the knot in an intimate private ceremony in the Bahamas over the Memorial Day weekend.
On the heels of Donald Jr. obtaining a marriage license, his father confirmed via Truth Social on Friday, May 22, that he will not attend the Bahamas celebration.

“While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so,” Donald, 79, announced. “I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina!”
The president previously expressed uncertainty on Thursday over whether he’d be able to fit the wedding into his schedule given the ongoing military conflict in Iran.

“He’d like me to go,” Donald told reporters. “It’s gonna be just a small, little private affair and I’m gonna try and make it. I said, ‘You know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.’”
He added, “That’s one I can’t win on. If I do attend, I get killed. If I don’t attend, I get killed by the fake news, of course, I’m talking about.”
The president mentioned that he’s known Don Jr.’s fiancée for “a long time” and wished them “a great marriage.”
“It’s really been the most unforgettable weekend of my life, and I get to marry the love of my life,” Anderson told attendees. “I feel just like the luckiest girl in the world.”
At that same event, Donald Jr. shed some light on how he popped the question, revealing that he’d set up an elaborate proposal that required him to keep Anderson distracted at first.
He eventually asked Anderson “for that one word — yes,” adding, “She said ‘yes,’ so that’s a big win for the end of the year.”
This is the first marriage for Bettina — who is the daughter of late banking executive Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and model Inger Anderson.
Donald Jr. was previously married for 13 years to model Vanessa Trump, who announced this week that she is battling breast cancer. They share daughters Kai Madison, 19, and Chloe Sophia, 11, as well as sons Donald III, 17, Tristan Milos, 14 and Spencer Frederick, 13. (Donald Jr. and Vanessa separated in 2018 and settled their divorce that same year.)
Richard Childress spoke out for the first time following his NASCAR driver Kyle Busch’s shocking death at age 41.
“Kyle will go down in history as one of the greatest race drivers that’s ever been,” Childress, 80, told reporters at the Michigan International Speedway on Saturday, June 6, per the Associated Press. “His legacy is that he was a man that a lot of people thought he was tough to deal with, and that he wouldn’t last long. He is a man that loves his sport.”
Busch spent the final three seasons of his career racing in the NASCAR Cup Series for Richard Childress Racing (RCR). On May 20, Busch became unresponsive in Concord, North Carolina, while preparing for that weekend’s competition and was hospitalized.
NASCAR confirmed hours later on May 21 that the driver had died at age 41. (A death certificate obtained by Us Weekly confirmed that Busch suffered a “chain of events” in his final days, as bacterial pneumonia progressed into sepsis and intravascular coagulation, or small clots. By the time Busch died, he’d developed hemorrhagic shock due to blood loss.)
At Saturday’s press conference, Childress likened Busch’s death to that of NASCAR icon Dale Earnhardt Sr., who was killed at age 49 in a February 2001 crash. (Earnhardt spent 18 seasons on the RCR team.)
“You lose two of the greatest drivers that’s ever driven a car in NASCAR and to have to go through it again,” Childress told the media. “I just feel so bad for the family and the employees and everybody. But yeah, I mean, I haven’t slept very good lately.”
He reflected on his final phone call with Kyle the night before his hospitalization, revealing that he’d planned to offer the driver a contract extension.
Childress also said that he wanted to help Kyle guide the amateur racing career of his 11-year-old son Brexton Busch in hopes of the boy turning pro one day. (Richard Childress Racing announced on May 22 that it will retire Kyle’s No. 8 car unless Brexton chooses to race professionally some day.)

“Talking to Kyle at different times, knowing his plans and what he had in the future for Brexton and his family,” Childress said. “The many things that we all could have done together, that was probably the toughest part of this whole thing.”
Earlier this week, Kyle’s wife Samantha Busch — with whom he shared Brexton and daughter Lennix, 4 — paid tribute to her late husband’s legacy in her first statement since his death.
“As a family, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you,” Samantha, 40, wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 5. “The prayers, messages, flowers, meals, hugs, and countless acts of kindness have carried us through the most heartbreaking days of our lives. While our hearts are absolutely shattered, we have felt God’s presence and arms wrapped tightly around us through each and every one of you.”
She wrote, “The love that has surrounded our family during this unimaginable time has brought comfort in the middle of so much pain. Knowing the impact Kyle had on others and seeing how they are honoring him through each unique act of generosity is a true testament to how special Kyle is to so many people. There are moments when the weight of this loss feels impossible to carry, yet time and time again God, through you all, has shown us we are not alone.”
Kathy Hilton will no longer serve as the grand marshal of the West Hollywood Pride Parade due to a backlash from the LGBTQ+ community.
“I am honored to have been considered for this recognition and appreciative of the support I have received from members of the community throughout the years,” Hilton, 67, said in a statement on Wednesday, June 3. “My reason for wanting to be involved in this year’s WeHo Pride weekend was simple: to celebrate, support, and share in the joy of a community that means a great deal to so many people. Pride is, and always will be, about celebrating and uplifting LGBTQ+ voices, experiences, and achievements.”
Her statement went on, “I respect the thoughtful conversations that have taken place and remain deeply committed to supporting LGBTQ+ causes and visibility, including through my participation in GLAAD initiatives and events, and longstanding support of organizations such as the Elton John AIDS Foundation, the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation since its inception, Dr. Mathilde Krim, God’s Love We Deliver, and Project Angel Food.”
“My support for the community and WeHo Pride is unwavering. This monumentally important event has always had a special place in my heart, and I will always cherish the experience I had acting as Grand Marshal of the LA Pride parade with my daughter in 2005,” she continued. “Thank you to everyone who works so hard to make it happen, and I wish the community nothing but love, joy, and a fantastic WeHo Pride weekend.”
The City of West Hollywood initially touted Hilton as “a vocal and visible supporter of the community” and credited her with using her “platform to champion LGBTQ+ rights.”
Many disagreed, with the AIDS Memorial’s official Instagram account sarcastically replying via Instagram, “Melania Trump not available?”

“I ask sincerely—what has this lady done for the LGBT+ community??” another commenter asked the City of West Hollywood.
A third Instagram user urged WeHo Pride organizers to cancel the booking, writing, “@wehopride it’s not too late to take this back.”
The City of West Hollywood subsequently clarified that Pride Parade grand marshals are chosen “in recognition of their visibility, allyship, and support for the LGBTQ+ community.”
“Kathy Hilton has publicly supported LGBTQ+ causes and visibility, including through her participation in GLAAD events and initiatives,” a statement from the City added. “At the same time, we acknowledge that concerns raised by West Hollywood residents, stakeholders, and LGBTQ+ community members are important and deserve to be heard. We are listening. We believe that WeHo Pride is strengthened by open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to equality and inclusion.”

On Wednesday, a new statement from WeHo Pride addressed Hilton standing down as the grand marshal.
“The City of West Hollywood and WeHo Pride Parade organizers thank Kathy Hilton for her grace and her continued support of the LGBTQ+ community,” their statement read. “Pride has always been strongest when it genuinely reflects the community. WeHo Pride is strengthened by open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to inclusion.”
They continued, “The City of West Hollywood remains dedicated to ensuring that WeHo Pride continues to be a joyful celebration rooted in visibility, belonging, and respect, and welcomes ongoing community conversations that help it to evolve while honoring its history and purpose. The WeHo Pride Parade is a celebration of community, and we are proud to welcome nearly 120 parade entries this year. We look forward to a parade and weekend that honors the spirit and extraordinary contributions of the LGBTQ+ community.”
Much of the criticism of Hilton’s involvement in WeHo Pride revolved around her past association with President Donald Trump. While Kathy never publicly stated whether or not she voted for Trump, 79, to be president, she and her husband, Rick Hilton, socialized with the Trumps in the past.
“I see Kathy coming from the dance floor, very upset,” Erika told host Andy Cohen. “I say, ‘Kathy, what’s wrong?’ She says, ‘The DJ’s an old f***ing f**,’ and walked off.”
Kathy denied ever using a homophobic slur, telling Cohen, 58, “I will admit to what I do, but I will not be painted to be this monster. Nobody else heard that, and anyone who knows me knows I don’t talk like that.”
Cohen later confirmed to Us Weekly that Bravo’s investigation into the scandal was inconclusive because “it was a case of she-said, she-said.”
Today cohost Savannah Guthrie has frequently appealed to the public for help following the mysterious disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, in Arizona.
Pima County police suspect that Nancy was abducted from her home in the Catalina Foothills north of Tucson, Arizona, in the early hours of February 1, 2026. Per law enforcement, a friend of Nancy’s from church first noticed that she had not attended that Sunday’s virtual worship service and contacted one of Nancy’s children, who checked on her home and eventually alerted police.
Since Nancy’s disappearance, local police and federal investigators have recovered DNA evidence and surveillance camera footage from her home but have yet to publicly name a potential suspect in the kidnapping, as of publication.
Federal investigators are offering a $100,000 reward for successful tips, while the Guthrie family is putting up their own $1 million reward that will be “paid only for recovery of Nancy Guthrie,” per Savannah’s Instagram.
“Please bring her home. You can be anonymous,” Savannah urged the public on February 27.

Savannah Guthrie Breaks Her Silence With a Message About Faith
Hours after Nancy Guthrie was reported missing, NBC News announced that Savannah Guthrie would no longer travel to Milan and Cortina, Italy, to cover the 2026 Winter Olympics. The journalist broke her silence to say that her family believed in “voices raised in unison, in love, in hope.”
“We believe in goodness. we believe in humanity. above all, we believe in Him,” Savannah wrote via Instagram on February 2, 2026. “Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant. raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment. We need you.”
The Today host closed the Instagram post with a slogan that would eventually become a rallying cry in the case: “Bring her home.”
Savannah Guthrie Posts Emotional Joint Statement With Siblings Annie and Camron Guthrie
As the statewide search for Nancy Guthrie entered its third day on February 4, 2026, Savannah Guthrie delivered a poignant video statement alongside her siblings, sister Annie and brother Camron Guthrie.
“On behalf of our family, we want to thank all of you for the prayers for our beloved mom, Nancy. We feel them and we continue to believe that she feels them too,” Savannah told her Instagram followers. “Our mom is a kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light. She is funny, spunky and clever. She has grandchildren who adore her and crowd around her and cover her with kisses. She loves fun and adventure. She is a devoted friend. She is full of kindness and knowledge. Talk to her and you’ll see.”
Annie spoke next, admitting to viewers that the “light” was missing from her entire family’s lives without Nancy.
“Nancy is our mother; we are her children. She is our beacon,” Annie said. “She holds fast to joy and all of life’s circumstances. She chooses joy day after day despite having already passed through great trials of pain and grief. We are always going to be merely human, just normal human people who need our mom. Mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you.”

Describing Nancy as her family’s “heart and home,” Savannah warned that her mother’s “health” and “heart” were in danger because she lives in “constant pain” and needs “medicine to survive.” The Today cohost also addressed reports that police had received a possible ransom note.
“We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media,” she said. “As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.”
Savannah went on, “Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are God’s precious daughter, Nancy. We believe and know that even in this valley, He is with you. Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again. We speak to you every moment. And we pray without ceasing, and we rejoice in advance that the day that we hold you in our arms again. We love you, Mom.”
Camron spoke last as he encouraged Nancy to “stay strong.”
As reports of multiple ransom notes swirled, a California man, Derrick Callella, was later arrested on February 5 on suspicion of making “an imposter ransom demand,” according to the FBI. The U.S. The Attorney’s Office charged Callella with transmitting a demand for ransom in interstate commerce, and without disclosing his identity, utilizing a telecommunications device with intent to abuse, threaten or harass a person.
Savannah Guthrie Sends Direct Message to Her Mom’s Kidnapper
Savannah Guthrie confirmed in a February 7, 2026, Instagram video that her family had received a message from Nancy Guthrie’s alleged kidnapper.
“We received your message and we understand,” she said in a message where she was flanked by both siblings, Annie and Camron Guthrie. “We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.”
The NBC News reporter captioned her message with a familiar plea, writing: “Bring her home.”
On February 9, 2026, Savannah released a new statement in order to “share some thoughts as we enter into another week of this nightmare.” At the time, the latest ransom deadline from a suspected kidnapper was mere hours away from expiring.
“We believe that somehow, some way, [Nancy] is feeling these prayers and that God is lifting her even in this moment and in this darkest place,” the Today cohost said. “We believe our mom is still out there.”
Savannah and her siblings previously appealed directly to the alleged kidnapper in their February 7, 2026, video, though this time they asked for the public’s assistance.

“We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock, trying to bring her home, trying to find her. She was taken, and we don’t know where, and we need your help,” Savannah said. “So, I’m coming on just to ask you, not just for your prayers, but no matter where you are, even if you’re far from Tucson, if you see anything, you hear anything, if there’s anything at all that seems strange to you, that you report to law enforcement.”
She captioned the video by pleading with viewers, “Please. Bring her home. We need you. She needs you. All of you.”

Savannah Guthrie Offers Update on Her Family’s Mood 2 Weeks After Nancy Guthrie’s Kidnapping
Amid reports of continuing ransom demands, local authorities deployed a digital scanner to help track Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker. Savannah Guthrie subsequently told her Instagram followers that her family still had “hope” that her mother would be found.
“We still believe, and I wanted to say to whoever has her, or knows where she is, that it’s never too late and you’re not lost or alone,” she said on February 15, 2026.
Savannah also reminded the kidnapper that “it is never too late to do the right thing and we are here.”
“We believe. We believe in the essential goodness [of] every human being, and it’s never too late,” she added.

“The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case,” Nanos noted.

With the one-month anniversary of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance nearing, Savannah Guthrie announced on February 24, 2026, that her family was increasing its personal reward offer to $1 million.

“Someone knows how to find our mom and bring her home,” she captioned the post.
In the accompanying video, Savannah said that her family was still “blowing on the embers of hope” amid Nancy’s disappearance, though they realized she may no longer be alive.
“We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in eaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother, Pierce, and with our daddy, and if this is what is to be, then we will accept it,” she said. “But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home.”
Two days later, she reiterated that “tips can be anonymous [and the] reward can be paid in cash.”
“Please bring her home. You can be anonymous,” she pleaded on February 27, 2026.
Savannah Guthrie Gives 1st Interview Since Nancy’s Disappearance
Savannah Guthrie sat down with Today’s Hoda Kotb in an interview that aired on March 25 and became emotional about her mother’s disappearance.
“Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. … It is unbearable,” Savannah said. “And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night. Every night. And in the darkness, I imagine her terror. And it is unthinkable.”
Savannah continued, “She needs to come home now.”
Savannah Guthrie Reveals Who Told Her About Mom Nancy’s Disappearance
Savannah said her sister, Annie, called her about Nancy’s disappearance during part two of her Today interview, released on March 26.
“She was in a panic, I was in a panic,” Savannah said. “We thought that she must have had some kind of medical episode in the night and somehow the paramedics had come, because the back doors were propped open and that didn’t make any sense.”
She noted that Nancy would never “wander off” because of the amount of pain that she’s in.
“On a good day, she could walk down to the mailbox and get the mail, but most days not,” Savannah continued. “There was no ‘wander off.’ The doors were propped open, and there was blood on the front doorstep. The Ring camera had been yanked off. And so we were saying, ‘This is not OK.’”
Savannah Guthrie Shares the Truth About Ransom Notes After Mom Nancy’s Disappearance
Savannah confirmed during her March 26 interview that there were “different notes” sent after Nancy’s disappearance.
“Most of them, it’s my understanding, I think are not real. I didn’t see them. A person that would send a fake ransom note really has to look deeply at themselves,” she explained. “But I believe the two notes that we received that we responded to — I tend to believe those are real.”
Savannah Guthrie Is Still Talking About Mom Nancy in ‘Present Tense’
During the second part of her Today interview on March 26, Nancy shared details about her mom with Kotb, noting that she still thinks of her in the “present tense.”
“My mom is incredible. She’s resolute and strong, quiet strength. Quiet faith, but hard-fought. She’s funny and a little mischievous, I would say, in her humor,” she said. “She’s a noble creature, she does what’s right. She walks in faith, but not fake, pious, put-on faith.”
Savannah Guthrie’s Faith Keeps Her Connected to Nancy
Savannah spoke a lot about her faith during the third part of her Today interview on March 27.
“God is how I’m holding hands with my mom,” she said. “I won’t let sadness win, for her.”
Savannah added, “She taught me, I saw her grieve. I saw her world shatter. I saw it and I saw her get up. And I saw her believe. And I saw her love. And I saw her hope, and I saw her smile, and I saw her laugh. I saw her joy. I saw her love for the world and adventure. I saw her belief, I saw her faith. She taught me. She taught all of us.”
She said that the kidnappers “will not take our faith” but made it clear that she needs answers about what happened to Nancy.
“We need help. We need someone to tell the truth. I have no anger in my heart. I have hope in my heart. I have love, but this family needs peace. I don’t think we deserve anything more or less than any other person,” she said. “I’m grateful for my blessings and I’m heartbroken for this sorrow. … We need an answer, and someone has it in their power to help.”
Savannah Guthrie Begs for Details About Nancy’s Whereabouts
Savannah also wondered how someone can “vanish without a trace” during the same interview.
“Someone knows something, even if that something is someone’s been acting strange for the last seven, eight weeks, even if it’s just that,” she continued. “Somebody knows. And maybe somebody’s afraid and I understand that. But our hearts are in agony. We can’t breathe. We can’t live. We can’t go on. We can’t be at peace. We can’t go forward. We have to know what happened to her.”
Savannah Guthrie Gets Emotional on ‘Today’ While Reflecting on Nancy Guthrie’s Disappearance
While filling in for Sheinelle Jones on Today With Jenna & Sheinelle in June, Savannah got candid about her emotions — and returning to work — amid the ongoing search for Nancy.
“You are my family. I don’t think if I had any other job I would’ve tried to come back, you know? But I just felt like, what else should I do? My mom would’ve said the same, like, ‘Honey, just keep going. Just keep going.’ So I am,” Savannah said. “It’s hard when you are with your best friend to not be real. So I was a little afraid, in a way, to do this show with you.”
She continued, “You’ve asked me before, which is so sweet, like, ‘Come on, do you want to fill in?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know if I’m ready.’ Because I couldn’t look at you — in this kind of setting, where we just talk about life — and not tell the truth about my life. I know maybe people wonder, ‘What’s going on? How is she able to do that job? Is she not thinking about it? Did she forget?’ No. Never. Never.”
Savannah shared that her family “still need everybody’s prayers,” adding that they wish someone would “call and say what they know.” She went on to admit that she cries “every morning on the way to work” and “every morning on the way home.”
“I’m grateful to have good friends and to be able to come to such a beautiful and joyous and supportive place. Like so many people out there, you know, you can hold all of these things together. I try to tell my kids that, too,” she said. “We can hold our sadness and we can hold our joy. If you don’t believe it, just watch me. I’m going to show you.”
Elon Musk confirmed that he only got involved in politics because his daughter Vivian Wilson is a transgender woman.
On Sunday, May 31, the X owner responded to a tweet showcasing Wilson’s latest modeling campaign and making light of her unintentional influence over her father’s shift to right-wing politics. (Vivian is one of Musk’s 14 children. The tech billionaire shares Vivian with his ex-wife Justine Musk.)
“We should never forget that if not for Vivian, Elon Musk never would have gotten involved, never would have purchased Twitter, Kamala Harris would be President and the Left-wing would have total instrumental control over the construction of Skynet,” an X user wrote.
The South African native has become increasingly involved in conservative U.S. politics in recent years. He campaigned for President Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election campaign in 2024 and has frequently criticized transgender rights.
Trump, 79, appointed Elon to oversee the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the start of his second term but he ultimately quit after just 130 days on the job due to disagreements over the White House’s budget.
Meanwhile, Wilson, 22, previously confirmed that she has been estranged from Elon since 2020. In April, Wilson told Cosmopolitan that she no longer concerns herself with her familial connection to Elon.
“There’s not much I can do about it, so who cares?” Wilson argued. “It’s part of my story, but it’s not the future of my story.”
The model and influencer described her upbringing with Elon as a “very strange experience [and] very isolating.”

“The upper class have their own private schools, social circles and whatever. I have unlearned a huge amount, but even as a child, I was like, ‘This is a bit gauche,’” she recalled. “I remember being very young and seeing homelessness and feeling sick to my stomach. People would get on me for being like a dramatic little child. But no, I was right to be a dramatic little s*** about that.”
“People assume I have a lot of money. I don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars at my disposal,” she told The Cut. “My mom is rich, right? But, obviously, the other one is unimaginable degrees of wealthy.”
Wilson added, “I don’t have a desire to be super-rich. I can afford food. I have friends, a shelter and some expendable income, which is nice and much more fortunate than most people my age in Los Angeles.”
When news broke in February 2025 that Elon welcomed two sons with two different mothers within months of each other, Wilson confirmed that she found out through a Reddit post. (Elon welcomed son Romulus with author Ashley St. Clair in September 2024 and son Seldon Lycurgus with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis in February 2025.)
“Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half-siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels … which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice, right,” she joked via TikTok.
The RHOBH alum, 62, turned heads in a bright red cinched-waist dress, paired with matching silver earrings and a necklace, while her daughter Bella, 29, wore in a gold Elie Saab gown on Monday, May 18, in Cannes, France.
Their visit to the Chopard Miracle Gala Evening on Monday was the first time Yolanda and Bella walked the red carpet together since October 2022, when they attended the God’s Love We Deliver 16th Annual Golden Heart Awards in New York City.
Meanwhile, Bella brought along her brotherAnwar Hadid when she attended a screening of French drama Another Day at the film festival on Sunday, May 17. For Sunday’s red carpet gala, Bella wore a strapless satin gown in a pale gray shade with a bejeweled bodice and a dramatic train, with her hair styled in an updo by OLAPLEX Ambassador Jacob Schwartz.

Yolanda has largely retreated from the spotlight following her divorce from ex-husband David Foster in 2016. (Foster has since wed American Idol star Katharine McPhee, having previously been married to B.J. Cook, Rebecca Dyer and Linda Thompson. Yolanda was married to real estate developer Mohamed Hadid from 1994 to 2000 and they share three children: daughters Gigi and Bella and son Anwar.)
In August 2024, Yolanda confirmed that she’d gotten engaged to her boyfriend of five years, Joseph Jingoli. The model revealed to People that Jingoli, 66, had actually popped the question while they were vacationing in her native Holland in 2022.
The two never made it down the aisle, as People reported that they separated on amicable terms in January 2025.
Any fans hoping that Yolanda’s return to the spotlight could lead to a comeback on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills probably shouldn’t get their hopes up.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in October 2022, Yolanda suggested that filming the Bravo show wasn’t conducive to her lifestyle. (Yolanda announced in December 2012 that she’d been diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, which can cause fatigue, muscle pain and cognitive issues.)
“The first season I went on, I was diagnosed with neurological Lyme disease, and I struggled every day of the season,” she said at the time. “I kind of stayed on because I thought, ‘OK, I’ll be better next season.’ I didn’t know Lyme disease was a life sentence. And now, here we are 10, 12 years, later I’m still struggling with it.”
Yolanda said she was “never [working] with a full set of brains on the show” because of her ongoing battle with chronic Lyme. The former RHOBH star also admitted that her feelings were deeply hurt by some of her costars speculating about her health.
“Those things were very hurtful, and not just hurtful to me but hurtful to my children and my family who loves me. And they knew I was fighting for my life,” she noted. “So, from that perspective, it wasn’t a good experience for me. And, you know, that was the taste I was left with.”
Yolanda was a diamond-holder on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills between seasons 3 and 6.

Spencer Pratt’s bid for L.A. mayor has seemingly come to an end.
Multiple outlets reported on Monday, June 8, that Pratt’s rival Nithya Raman will officially advance to face Mayor Karen Bass head-to-head in November.
“I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles,” Raman, 44, said to Us Weekly in a Monday statement. “To the thousands of supporters who knocked doors, made calls, sent texts, donated, and opened their homes for events across the city, and to everyone else who made this moment possible: thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”
Raman and Pratt, 44, battled for a second place finish in the June 2 primary, which would see one of them advance to a November general election faceoff with Mayor Bass, 72. (Under California rules, the top two vote-getters advance to a general election unless one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the primary vote.)
Pratt’s early second place lead on election night eroded as mail-in ballots were received and counted over the last week. The Associated Press and other outlets called the race for second place for Raman on Monday, as she polled at 28.6 percent to Pratt’s 25.8 percent. (Bass held a commanding lead with 34.3 percent of the vote, having already advanced to the November election last week.)
“Now our fight for a healthier, safer, more affordable, and more joyful Los Angeles continues,” Raman said in a statement on Monday. “For too long, City Hall has prioritized giving political advantage to powerful interests that fund elections. Meanwhile, working people pay the price in higher rents, depleted services, and a city that has stopped working for them.”
She concluded, “If you’re as frustrated by the broken status quo as I am, I hope you’ll join our movement to build a city that works for everyone.”
Us Weekly has reached out to the Pratt campaign for comment.
Earlier on Monday, Pratt tried to quiet growing anger among his supporters by suggesting that his campaign staff was not giving up.
“Folks, we’re dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference, there’s still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next 3 weeks to count! Let’s git-r-dun,” he tweeted.
President Donald Trump — who endorsed Pratt last month — reacted to Pratt’s dwindling standings in the L.A. mayoral race by claiming without evidence that the race was fixed. (Pratt, a registered Republican, resisted direct alignment with Trump, 79, insisting in May that “there’s no R next to my name, there’s no D next to my name.” He ran for mayor as a nonpartisan community activist.)
“Not possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost the L.A. runoffs after the big lead he had. 3rd World Nation. Rigged Elections,” Trump wrote via Truth Social on Monday.
Election watchers in California predicted before the June 2 primary that it could take days or weeks to determine the vote totals due to the process of counting mail-in ballots.
Kyle Busch’s cause of death has been revealed following the NASCAR legend’s shocking death at age 41.
A rep for Busch’s family confirmed to NBC News on Saturday, May 23, that the late athlete died of pneumonia that progressed “into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications.”
“We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport’s greatest and fiercest drivers,” NASCAR said in a statement via X. “We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.”
The final few weeks of Busch’s life were marred by health issues, even as he tried to continue his busy NASCAR Cup Series schedule.
During a Cup Series race at Watkins Glen in New York on May 10, he asked over his racecar radio audio for a doctor to come to his bus after he finished the race.
“He’s the kindred doctor guy. Tell him I need him after the race, please,” he asked his crew over the radio.
Kyle notified his crew that he was “gonna need a shot,” though he did finish the race in eighth place. At the time, Fox’s commentary team explained that Kyle was “suffering from a sinus cold all week,” which was exacerbated by the extreme G-force during the race and the elevation change at Watkins Glen.
The driver soldiered on to compete at the NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 17, and was due to race at both the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series the following weekend.
However, his family stunned NASCAR observers by announcing on May 21 that Busch was pulling out of his racing responsibilities due to health concerns. (Busch had not missed a race since 2015, when he skipped the first 11 races of the season due to a compound leg fracture and broken foot.)

“Kyle has experienced a severe illness resulting in hospitalization,” his family shared in a statement. “He is currently undergoing treatment and will not compete in any of his scheduled activities this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. We ask for understanding and privacy as our family navigates this situation.”
Just a few hours later, NASCAR broke the news that Kyle was dead at age 41. The NASCAR community came together to celebrate Kyle’s life and legacy following his death.
“Absolutely cannot comprehend this news,” three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin tweeted. “We just need to think of his family during this time. We love you KB.”
Fellow NASCAR star Ricky Stenhouse Jr. reflected on his rivalry with Kyle, writing, “There aren’t really words for today. I’ve raced against Kyle for a long time, and anyone who’s lined up next to him knows exactly what made him special, he gave you everything he had, every single lap, and he made all of us better for it.”
“More than the wins and the records, I keep thinking about Samantha, Brexton, and Lennix, and the entire Busch family right now. That’s where my heart is,” Stenhouse went on.
The two-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion is survived by his wife of 15 years, influencer Samantha Busch, their two children — daughter Lennix Key and son Brexton Locke — and his older brother, NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Kurt Busch.
Survivor host Jeff Probst scrambled to quell a backlash among viewers after he accidentally spoiled a challenge result during the season 50 finale.
“I love doing live television,” Probst, 64, joked as he tried to explain himself during the live finale on Wednesday, May 20.
Moments earlier, viewers watched Aubry Bracco win the final immunity challenge and then save Joe Hunter, thereby sending Rizo Velovic and Jonathan Young into the fire-making challenge by default. (The iconic fire-making challenge was used to determine who would join Bracco, 40, and Hunter, 46, in the climactic Tribal Council.)
In one of the finale’s live segments, Probst called over Velovic, 26, to chat about how intimidating the fire-making challenge can be.

Probst was throwing to a commercial break when he off-handedly referred to Velovic as “the final member of our jury.” The host seemed confused and the audience fell silent, as Probst had mistakenly spoiled the result of the fire-making challenge before it aired.
“What just happened?” Probst asked.
“They haven’t seen the fire,” one contestant shouted, with Velovic clarifying, “Fire hasn’t happened yet.”
The audience started to groan as Probst admitted, “I’m not even sure what happened but up next, we’re going to have one final surprise for the players.”
Survivor fans were aghast that Probst had accidentally spoiled one of the most anticipated challenges in the show’s history.
“50 seasons into Survivor, Jeff Probst just spoiled the result of the biggest climax of the finale… live on the air, during the finale,” one viewer wrote via X on Wednesday. “I can’t believe we just witnessed that. What do you mean it’s live with NO DELAY.”
Another fan was equally as disappointed, writing, “Jeff spoiling his own show… oh grandpa it’s time for bed.”
“Jeff intentionally spoiling the outcome at the live reunion so that he’ll never have to do another one ever again,” a third viewer joked.
Once Survivor came back from a commercial break, Probst tried to explain to viewers exactly what went wrong.
“In case you’re confused, this is what happened,” he began. “We were going to show you fire-making and then have the loser of fire-making, Rizo, come out and talk about if he had practiced fire-making maybe he would’ve won. Instead, we did a Survivor twist, it’s the last twist of the season. We call it, ‘A peek into the future.’ So now, we’re going to watch Rizo lose in a fire to Jonathan.”
The error reignited speculation among fans via social media over whether it might be time for Probst to retire as Survivor host after 50 seasons.

Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly ahead of the launch of season 50, Probst said that he hoped to remain involved with Survivor for a long time to come.
“We stay inside the tiny little box that is the format of Survivor, but once you step inside that tiny little box, you realize the space is enormous,” Probst explained. “You can try all kinds of things. So, for instance, if you hired a different type of person to host, and then you brought in a different type of person to produce, and you took their different points of view, it seems likely that the show would go in a completely different direction.”
He added, “I really do think it goes on, and I hope that even if I’m not hosting, maybe there’s a way I can, you know, still be involved because I love this show.”
While the fire-making challenge was spoiled, Survivor viewers were able to watch the final Tribal Council play out as intended. Bracco won the $2 million grand prize and a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser after defeating Young and Hunter in an 8-3-0 jury vote.
“I was in a space where I’ve been working on a fantasy book series. Three trilogies,” Lewis, 54, confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published on Thursday, May 28. “[The trilogy is] closer to Lord of the Rings [than science fiction]. It’s epic fantasy. It’s my own magic system based more in physics than the soft magic of casting spells and stuff like that.”
Lewis — who played Kim Cattrall’s onscreen lover Jerry “Smith” Jerrod on Sex and the City — re-emerged via Instagram this week to reveal that he “went quiet” in 2023 “not because I had nothing to say but because I had something to do.”
“The kind of creative work that doesn’t leave room for much else, and I made my peace with that,” he shared. “It’s the kind of work that needs to find its people, though. I’m still in it, but I am far enough along now that it felt like it was time to resurface and share what I’ve been doing. More to come.”
The social media clip featured Lewis walking along a beach, though he initially revealed little else about his current lifestyle. Lewis subsequently confirmed to THR that he left California for Costa Rica in order to focus on his writing.
“I’d been working on it for quite a while and I found myself at a point where I knew it was large when I started, but it just kept expanding and growing into this bigger and bigger world as I plotted it and figured it out,” he explained. “I literally sat down with pen and paper and did kind of a ‘what do I need, what do I want’ design-of-life list.”
Lewis went on, “Certainly at the top of the list was the space to do this because this is me on a journey of discovery as much as anything. I’ve never written novels before this, so I don’t have a bunch of feathers in my cap to lean on. I wanted a healthy lifestyle and access to good food. I surf, and being right next to a beach is very easy motivation for me to stay healthy. Sometimes you don’t want to go to the gym, but I always like to go play in the water. And I also wanted to learn Spanish.”
The actor shared that he has “outlined three trilogies” that are “each set in the same world in different eras.”

“I chose to start at the end. I’m on book seven,” he revealed. “I’m on the fourth draft of it. Well, 3.5. The first draft is really just a 150-page summary.”
As for his lifestyle away from the spotlight, Lewis said that he tries to keep a regimented schedule based around his writing.
“I usually get up around 4 o’clock in the morning,” he said. “I do my thing and walk the beach or run the beach if the surf isn’t good yet and then have my coffee and settle in and get to the desk and have a session and then have breakfast and then go back to the desk. Depending on what I’m doing revision-wise, sometimes I can get a little bit more words, but I try and get anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 words on the page a day.”
Lewis first found fame as a model before being cast as Smith Jerrod on Sex and the City. His portrayal of Samantha Jones’ supportive and devoted boyfriend became so popular that he was brought back in both Sex and the City movie spinoffs.
He later landed guest roles on How I Met Your Mother and House before competing on Dancing With the Stars season 31 in 2022. (Lewis and his professional partner Peta Murgatroyd were eliminated first in season 31.)
“There’s some accountability,” Jesse, 32, exclusively revealed to Us Weekly on the red carpet of the 2026 American Music Music Awards on Monday, May 25. “Obviously it’s brutal … I think there’s a lot of unexpected fights … Watching it on the way here, obviously we cover a lot of the West and Amanda stuff, but there’s a lot of other stuff in the house that people are upset about.”
Jesse teased that there will be a fiery exchange in the three-part reunion between Ben Waddell and Bailey Taylor after they clashed in recent episodes.
“Bailey, she’s a firecracker. I love her the best,” he added.

Of course, much of the drama in Summer House’s season 10 reunion episodes will revolve around Amanda, 34, and West, 31, sparking a romantic relationship. (The duo confirmed they were exploring a “connection” in March, after Amanda and her estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, separated in January. West previously dated Summer House costar Ciara Miller as well.)
Asked about Ciara’s state of mind following her showdown with her former best friend Amanda and ex West, Jesse hinted, “She seems good, all things considered.”
“She’s a really strong woman, and just a great person, and great friend,” he went on. “I’m just trying to be there for her and support her.”
The drama-filled teaser for Summer House’s season 10 reunion included one particularly shocking moment where Jesse broke down in tears over Amanda and West’s scandalous relationship. Jesse admitted to Us that he did not expect “at all” to get so emotional over the friendship drama.
“I think I just hadn’t taken time to grieve the loss of a friend group,” he noted. “When confronted with it, it was really a lot to deal with. I was just emotional all day.”
Jesse continued, “I cried for KJ [Dillard], I cried for Mia [Calabrese], cried for the loss of my friends, obviously.”
Later in the red carpet interview, Jesse offered insight on where the Summer House cast stands with Amanda and Kyle after their raw showdown at the reunion taping in New York City.
“Kyle’s in touch with them,” Jesse told Us. “It’s just awkward and weird and uncharted territory. I never thought we would be in this position.”
Earlier this week, Ciara, 30, confirmed that she is ready to turn the page on this dramatic Summer House era after having it out with West and Amanda face-to-face.
“Make it to the waiting and make it to the end of all of this. I’m excited to put it all behind me,” Miller told People on the amFAR red carpet on Saturday, May 23. “The reunion was quite the day, but we are on to bigger and better and, you know, we can say goodbye to certain things.”
Summer House’s season 10 reunion airs on Bravo Tuesday, May 26, at 8 p.m. ET.
