Phoebe Dynevor became internationally famous through Bridgerton, and that sudden success also brought increased attention to her personal life. The British actress has experienced everything from relatively private relationships to a highly publicized romance followed by photographers and tabloids. Over time, however, Dynevor has become increasingly careful about separating her career from her relationships. Her romantic history has included actors and figures outside the entertainment spotlight, but her relationship with Cameron Fuller ultimately became the most significant chapter. After beginning their romance in 2023, the couple became engaged and later married.
Before Bridgerton transformed her public profile, Dynevor was linked to several men, including British actor Sean Teale and executive Simon Merrill. These relationships attracted comparatively limited attention, partly because they occurred before she became internationally recognizable as Daphne Bridgerton. The success of the Netflix period drama dramatically changed the amount of interest surrounding her life away from the screen.
That became especially clear in 2021, when Dynevor dated American comedian Pete Davidson. Their relationship generated intense media attention as the pair were photographed together and followed by celebrity publications. Dynevor later reflected on the experience of suddenly having strangers interested in something she considered an ordinary part of being a young woman. The relationship ended after several months, with their demanding schedules and distance widely reported as challenges.
A quieter chapter began when Dynevor was linked to actor and producer Cameron Fuller in 2023. The pair initially kept much of their relationship away from public attention, although they gradually began appearing together at events. Fuller comes from an entertainment industry family and has worked both in front of and behind the camera.
Their relationship reached another milestone in 2024. Dynevor attended the Met Gala wearing a pale pink Victoria Beckham gown and revealed a diamond ring on her left hand, bringing widespread attention to their engagement. Fuller and Dynevor largely continued their low key approach afterward rather than turning their wedding preparations into a constant public storyline.

Ben Simmons was on the way to making his big NBA comeback this season, but injury has crushed those hopes. The former All-Star isn't losing hope, though.
Ben Simmons' career has been a strange one, full of some unexpected twists and turns. The 30-year-old has been an All-Star three times during his younger days, but he was also effectively out of the NBA entirely last season.
There has been a lot of optimistic noise around Simmons this year. The Sacramento Kings signed him and he was supposed to come back at an incredibly high level. Just a few days before the NBA season begins, though, Simmons has suffered another major injury setback.
News reports on Sunday revealed something which anyone who hears about it will find quite cruel. After all the work that Simmons has put in this offseason, a torn Achilles has now ended his season before it even begins. Injury issues have been a big factor in the downfall of his career.
Any other player might just give up in this spot, but it seems Simmons isn't ready to call it just yet. He took to social media to share a message with his followers.

Kids today might know Matthew Modine best for his role as Dr Brenner in Stranger Things but the star got his start back in the '80s with hits like Full Metal Jacket (1987). The actor has appeared in not one but two Christopher Nolan classics, The Dark Knight Rises and Oppenheimer, so we'd recommend digging back into his filmography.
Before you swap over to your TV screen, catch up on what the actor has been doing since he worked with Nicolas Cage and the successful lives of his wife and two kids below.
Caridad met while Matthew was working as a chef in New York
Matthew's long-term wife Caridad Rivera was born in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and is of Puerto Rican descent. She works as a makeup and wardrobe artist. Caridad and husband Matthew are still going strong four decades in.
The actor told Closer Weekly: "I'd been in a few relationships and wanted someone to be friends with. What's most important is to have a partner you share interests with, who challenges you, who is smarter than you." He added: "Then the physical side is a bonus. I hit the jackpot and got both!

Ben Affleck has spent so much of his adult life as tabloid fodder that some people probably know more about the alleged contents of his Dunkin' order than they do about some of his movies. Bennifer alone generated enough headlines for several lifetimes, and even relatively mundane activities tend to become internet events. Remember the Sad Affleck meme and those miserable-looking cigarette photos? Of course you do. Well, someone finally asked him about all that tabloid ink spilled on him and he's more candid than I'd ever have guessed.
During a new installment of GQ's One More Question, the outlet brought up one particularly bizarre stretch in early 2025, when the former Batman performer was simultaneously dealing with rumors that his home had burned in the Los Angeles fires and that the FBI had raided the property. His response was much more resigned than angry, as he explained:
I have them much less frequently now, which is nice, but there are still occasionally these strange flareups. At the time, there were both rumors that the FBI had raided my home and that my house had burned down. They can't both be true. It's like all these things, and then none of it turns out to be true, and ****** ody remembers it.

Tanya Young Williams filed for divorce from former NBA player Jayson Williams in New York on Monday, Oct. 5, according to court records obtained by TMZ.
She is also accusing her estranged husband of owing "hundreds of thousands of dollars" in child support. Tanya made that claim in comments to the outlet, which did not publish an exact balance or a current response from Williams.
The filing comes 17 years after Tanya first sought a divorce in February 2009. That proceeding never produced a finalized divorce, TMZ reported.
Tanya, who appeared on Basketball Wives LA, married Williams in 2000. They have two daughters, Tryumph and Whizdom.
Tanya told TMZ that Williams provided no financial support for their daughters while he was incarcerated from 2010 to 2012. She said payments began after the couple reached a settlement in 2015 and stopped about two years later.

Some actors spend so much time speaking in a particular accent that audiences eventually forget it is not their natural voice. Years of American roles can make a British actor seem completely American, while there are more Australian infiltrating our ranks than you can possibly imagine. The effect can be especially strange when you hear someone in an interview for the first time after watching them for years. A few of these actors have even admitted that audiences are surprised by their real accents. Once you know where they are actually from, some of their biggest roles sound completely different.
After years of playing Dr. Gregory House with an American accent, Hugh Laurie surprised many viewers when they discovered that he is English and naturally speaks with a British accent.
Batman, Patrick Bateman, and several other major roles helped make Christian Bale's American accent extremely familiar, but the actor was born in Wales and speaks with a British accent in real life.
Margot Robbie has used American accents in many of her biggest films, including The Wolf of Wall Street, Suicide Squad, and Barbie, so hearing her natural Australian accent can catch viewers off guard.
His American accent in Get Out was convincing enough to make many viewers forget that Kaluuya is from London and naturally speaks with an English accent.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Belgian-born scientist Francis Halzen won the ***** el Prize in physics Tuesday for his efforts to demystify a rare group of neutrinos, tiny cosmic particles that researchers believe offer clues to how the universe evolved.
"It was a great surprise, and I obviously didn't expect it," Halzen said, speaking to the ***** el Physics Committee by phone from Italy, in a call broadcast at the news conference to announce the winner.
Halzen said it was predicted that he would win the prize, but the announcement still made him feel "strange."
"I am working on a proposal, and I hope that this prize will help getting it approved," he said to chuckles from the audience.
Neutrinos are tiny cosmic particles with no electrical charge and extraordinarily small mass, making them difficult to detect. Yet they are everywhere: They spew from stars like the sun, and trillions zip through our bodies every second.

Rob Lowe's son, actor John Owen Lowe, shared an emotional poem about hope on his Instagram page over the weekend, just days after his 13-year-old cousin Fiona died by suicide.
The poem he posted was Emily ******* inson's "Hope Is the Thing With Feathers," which reads, "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all. And sweetest in the gale is heard; and sore must be the storm that could abash the little bird that kept so many warm."
It concludes, "I've heard it in the chillest land, and on the strangest sea; yet, never, in extremity, it asked a crumb of me."
The post came after Rob and John Owen arrived at the Los Angeles home of Rob's younger brother, Chad Lowe, on Thursday (October 1), per The Daily Mail. Fiona was the second daughter of Chad and his wife, Kim Painter. The couple also have daughters Mabel (17) and Nixie (10).
Last week, a statement from the medical examiner confirmed that Fiona was ******* ounced dead at a local hospital at 1:14 am on September 29. The manner of death was ruled a suicide.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could eventually reconnect with Prince William and Kate Middleton for the sake of their children, a royal expert has claimed. The Sussexes returned to the UK in August, and their move could give Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet more opportunities to build relationships with their royal cousins.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ended their six-year stay in California in August and moved to a non-royal home outside London. The couple reportedly moved partly so Archie and Lilibet could attend school in the UK. However, they have not yet publicly reunited with other members of the Royal Family since returning.
Royal expert Lynn Carratt believes that could eventually change. Speaking exclusively to The Express US, Carratt said a reunion between the Sussexes and the wider Royal Family could become "inevitable." She suggested Harry and Meghan may also want their children to understand more about their family history and royal background.
Carratt said Archie and Lilibet's ages could prompt Harry to reconsider his relationship with Prince William. She noted that as the children grow up, they may ask about their cousins and why they rarely see them. She added that George, Charlotte, and Louis could become part of those conversations as Archie and Lilibet learn more about their father's family. "Who are their cousins? Where do they live? Why don't they see very much of them?" she said.
Harry and William have been estranged for several years, and their relationship worsened after Harry published his memoir, Spare. In the book, Harry made several claims about his relationship with William.

Courtiers are trying to orchestrate a truce between Prince William and Prince Harry in the hopes of getting the estranged brothers together to talk about doing a tribute to Princess Diana for the 30th anniversary of her death next year, a source tells Star.
"Harry is all for it, but William's refused," spills the source.
The siblings' relationship has been strained since Harry, 42, and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior working members of the royal family in 2020 and has only deteriorated after their 2021 tell-all interview and Harry's 2023 memoir, Spare.
Even the Sussexes' recent return to the U.K. with their two young children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, hasn't eased tensions between the brothers.
"He's acting like they don't even exist," the source reveals. "Harry is genuinely shocked that there's not even been a shred of forgiveness on William's part."

Ex-Prince Andrew is said to be in surprisingly high spirits, despite the turmoil surrounding him. A friend claims he is certain he will one day be exonerated and has taken on the police in a legal fight over the warrants used in his arrest. As a private court hearing approaches on Thursday, this legal fight is drawing fresh attention.
According to The Sun, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has applied for a judicial review to quash the search warrants that were issued in February. The High Court in London will consider the application in a private hearing soon.
Meanwhile, a friend has described his state of mind to the newspaper. "He seems incredibly buoyant despite everything he has been through and is really upbeat," the friend said. They went on to say: "He is utterly convinced that one day he will be completely exonerated. He thinks this is the first step towards that." The friend also described Andrew as living in relative seclusion on the King's Norfolk estate despite being estranged from other members of the royal family
The warrants stem from Andrew's February 19 arrest, which took place on his 66th birthday. Thames Valley Police arrested him on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations involving his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. Police later searched his cottage on the Sandringham estate and his former home, Royal Lodge in Windsor, and removed evidence.
Despite Andrew's optimism, legal experts, however, are less convinced about this latest challenge. Lawyers quoted by The Sun cast doubt on the case and believe a win may make little difference. Even if the warrants were found to be flawed, police might still keep the evidence. It is also not known whether he will attend Thursday's hearing.

Blake Lively is struggling with Taylor Swift and Dakota Johnson's increasingly public friendship amid her estrangement from the pop superstar, according to gossip columnist Rob Shuter.
Sources told Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack on Monday, October 5, that that Lively, 39, fears she has been replaced in Swift's inner circle as the singer, 36, continues to publicly show her support for Johnson — a situation that has become "torture" for her.
"Blake was devastated watching it," a source told Shuter of Swift's surprise appearance during Johnson's Saturday Night Live monologue on October 3. "Taylor wasn't just supporting Dakota privately. She walked onto that stage and showed millions of people how close they are. Blake couldn't help wondering: Does Taylor know exactly how much this will hurt me?"
Swift and Johnson's friendship is not new. The Verity star, 37, recently confirmed that she and Swift have "been friends for a really long time" and are "very close."

In an emotional post on Instagram on October 4, Daniel, 41, remembered Isaac who died in May after he was diagnosed with stage 3 mouth cancer.
"Isaac would have turned 15 today. It's been four and a half months since he passed, and the deep sense of loss has only gotten stronger," he wrote. "We talk about him constantly, and the reminiscing always brings such a strange mix of joy, pride, nostalgia and pain."

He added, "Still, we are learning how to move forward as a family and have cherished all the stories and memories we've heard today from those that loved him."

A recent report suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ready to reconcile with Prince William and Kate Middleton. The update comes after Harry and Markle returned to the UK. Since their arrival, Harry's estranged brother William and his wife, Middleton, have not released a statement welcoming the Sussexes.
Insiders recently said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning a meeting with Prince William and Kate Middleton. The move is also being seen as the first step for the Sussexes to reconcile with William and Middleton.
A source told Heat World that the Sussexes "feel it's time for a new summit with William and Kate – and that with all four of them in a room, they could start a very productive and healing conversation." Moreover, the insider said Harry and Markle are willing to take the step, as the former "really wants to see his brother and make peace with him."
On the other hand, Markle reportedly wants to feel welcomed in royal circles and repair her relationship with Middleton.
The insider also claims the update follows the release of Charles Spencer's book about his sister, Princess Diana, which has created a buzz among the royal family. They also said Markle has conveyed that she would not bring up any past conflicts with Middleton during the meeting, as "she just wants Harry to be in a room with his brother." However, a concrete statement regarding this much-anticipated meetup has not been released by either party.

A source has claimed that Prince William does not believe Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's UK stay will "last." The news comes amid renewed focus on the Sussex family's recent return to Britain. The couple is once again making headlines as their ongoing issues over security continue to draw attention.
Prince William has reportedly delivered a harsh ****** sment of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's future in Britain. As speculation grows that the pair are considering a move back to America, the Duke's estranged elder brother has reportedly shared his view on the matter.
According to a source who spoke to Closer, the Prince of Wales doubts that the Sussexes will remain in the UK for much longer. They said, "William doesn't believe they'll even last another six months. He's counting on them giving up and moving back to America as soon as they realise they can't just bulldoze their way into getting everything they want."
They added that the heir to the throne is staying away from the security row. He reportedly believes that Harry would use any intervention of his against him. The Prince is steering clear of it and trusting those in charge to make the right decision.
The insider further noted, "It's very hard for William to watch his father being so soft on them. He truly cannot understand why Charles is giving them so much latitude after everything that's happened."

TikToker Kenni Lee (relatablekenni) shared a strange night out that left her questioning a stranger's intentions. Lee said a woman approached her group after one of Lee's friends had stepped away. The woman then invited Lee alone to the dance floor. Lee said the woman quickly focused on another man instead.
Lee said a friend later pulled Lee away after noticing the strange interaction.. The woman returned and claimed the man had tried to traffic her. Lee said she found the claim confusing, since she had seen the two of them interacting closely just before. The woman later offered to buy Lee a drink, but Lee insisted on getting it herself.
Lee said she barely drank the beverage before giving it to her friends. Later, the woman asked Lee and her friends to walk her to her car. The group walked through an alley before the woman said she could not find it. She then pointed to a dark residential street far from the nightlife area.
Lee said her friends refused to continue because the location felt suspicious. The woman then claimed she needed a bathroom and walked behind a large truck. Lee said the woman did not actually use the bathroom before returning. Moments later, a white Tesla pulled up and asked where everyone was going.
According to Lee, the woman then entered the stranger's car, despite her earlier claims of fear. Lee questioned the driver, who said he came from the Bay Area. The woman immediately said she came from the Bay Area too, according to Lee. Lee then gave her a backup number and stayed on the phone temporarily.

MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, put dozens of strangers through one of his outrageous tests: How long can people stay in a grocery store to win $250,000? One contestant, Juan Garcia, managed to do it and took home far more than he bargained for after spending over 200 days in the store.
Back in April, MrBeast uploaded a video to his channel ******* led "Last to Leave Grocery Store, Wins $250,000," and in the months since, the video racked up over 200 million views.
At the start of the video, MrBeast tells his audience he just bought a grocery store and uses the store's intercom to announce that the last person to leave wins the $250,000 prize pot (kept in a comically large gold shopping cart). Some shoppers immediately left with a bounty of groceries that MrBeast told everyone were free; others began to strategize, building forts and stockpiling food.
After 67 days, with only four contestants left, MrBeast decided to shake things up and gave them an ultimatum: If they decided to stay, he'd restock the entire grocery store, and the four of them had to eat all the groceries – if they were able to do so, they could split a $1,000,000 prize. They decided to stay, and the video ended on a cliffhanger, leaving fans wondering where the new video would be for months.
Today, MrBeast and his team finally released the second part, ******* led "Eat Everything In A Grocery Store Win $1,000,000."

Devon Sawa and Macaulay Culkin's internet feud may be over, but one joke persists. Sawa recently opened up about a strange rivalry with Culkin, saying that the "Home Alone" star still owned a website with his name.
Sawa has revealed to E!'s Hot Goss that the playful feud dates back to when Culkin purchased a website connected to him. Culkin bought devonsawa.com around Sawa's birthday. He then proceeded to direct fans towards merchandise and jokes involving the actor.
"He and I had a internet beef," Sawa told E!'s Eyal Booker and Lonnie Marts IIV. "He bought devonsawa.com. He did that, and we did this photo shoot together, and then we just started pranking each other."
The rivalry ultimately "kind of faded out," but Culkin still owns devonsawa.com. "If you want to go to devonsawa.com, you will be purchasing everything from Macaulay Culkin," Sawa joked. "I can't believe I'm giving him free press." Despite the long time they spent trolling each other, Sawa heaped praise on his fellow former child star.
"He's amazing," he said.

Ben Affleck once escaped a terrifying teenage mugging after recognizing the boys holding him at knifepoint. Years later, he learned one of those boys had killed someone and served 20 years in prison.
The actor recently revisited the encounter while reflecting on his childhood in Cambridge, Massachusetts. What began as a frightening walk home eventually became a memory that followed him into parenthood.
Affleck shared the story during an interview with Kerry Washington on her Street You Grew Up On podcast. He recalled walking home from high school at around 15 when two boys in hoods crossed the street toward him. Affleck initially considered running but decided against it. "They pass me, grab me, take a knife out: 'Gimme your money,'" he recalled. "And I was like, 'Oh!' I was scared."
The situation changed when Affleck recognized the teenagers from playing baseball. The boys also recognized him, turning the encounter from a mugging into a strange neighborhood exchange. "So I was like, 'I guess I'm off the hook?'" he remembered. Affleck later discovered that one of the boys had taken a much darker path. "That kid who robbed me ended up three or four years later killing somebody with a knife and going to prison for 20 years," he said.
He also admitted that he never told his mother about the incident. Affleck said he avoided worrying her and now regretted keeping difficult experiences to himself. "I didn't wanna worry her. I didn't wanna scare her," he explained. That silence became especially meaningful after Affleck became a father. "You guys know you can tell me anything. Anything! I'm so cool with anything you have to say," he recalled telling his children.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have put on a loved-up display just hours before his mother, Victoria Beckham, is due to step out at London Fashion Week.
The eldest son and David and Victoria Beckham - with whom he is currently estranged - attended the Balenciaga show with his actress wife Nicola Peltz, risking a near run-in with his famous family.

The pair were photographed looking stylish at the fashion label's Spring/Summer 27 show, with Brooklyn debuting long silver locks.
Meanwhile, Nicola looked glamorous wearing a drop-waist black skirt and a cropped tank vest which she paired with pointed-toe kitten heels. Her dark brunette locks appear to be transformed into chestnut tresses that couldn't flatter the Ballerina star more.

On September 14, Dave & Buster's Entertainment (NASDAQ:PLAY) reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 results that read like two different companies at once. Revenue fell, and the company posted a net loss for the period ended August 4, yet comparable sales, which had been sliding for more than a year, kept getting less bad every month from June through the first five weeks of the third quarter. New CEO Darin Harper is betting that improvement compounds into something bigger.
The clearest evidence is the trend line itself. Comparable store sales fell 5.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, then 2.9% in the second quarter, then just 1.6% in July after a 5% decline in June, and Harper said trends improved further over the first five weeks of the third quarter. Food and beverage sales are moving in the opposite direction entirely, up 7.6% in the quarter and positive for five straight quarters, helped by the Eat & Play Combo, a bundled meal and game credit offer sold through kiosks. Special event sales have now grown for seven consecutive quarters.
Behind that shift sits a rebuilt leadership bench. Dave & Buster's went more than a year without a chief marketing officer, and Harper has since added a CMO, a chief operations officer, a chief technology officer, and a chief legal officer since taking over. The company also leaned on new content, launching 10 games and attractions this year, including tie-ins with Mandalorian and Grogu, John Wick and Stranger Things, after research found more than 70% of guests said new games would bring them back more often. Changes to game pricing pushed play and dwell time up 16% to 20% or more. Six remodeled stores are already outperforming the rest of the chain, and management says the newest remodel template costs less to build than the last one. Net capital spending dropped to $127.6 million through the first half of the year from $155.4 million, and adjusted free cash flow swung to positive $19.5 million from negative $36.5 million, a $56 million improvement.
The headline figures were still rough. Total revenue slipped 2.4% to $544.1 million from $557.4 million a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA dropped to $98.9 million, an 18.2% margin, from $129.8 million and a 23.3% margin. On a GAAP basis, the company posted a net loss of $12.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, versus net income of $11.4 million in the same quarter last year. About $15 million of the EBITDA decline came from items management calls non-normalized, including a $10 million noncash deferral adjustment that did not repeat this year, $3 million in extra preopening costs and $2 million in higher insurance expenses, but even stripped of those, the underlying decline was still roughly $16 million.

An AI approval in minutes means nothing if you retire before closing. Lenders must re-verify employment within 10 business days of the note date.
Retirement income like Social Security can replace a salary for qualifying purposes, and an SSA award letter alone may be enough to close.
A rate lock protects only the interest rate, so disclose your retirement date early and build the loan file around income that survives closing day.

Mortgage lenders are racing to make refinancing feel almost instantaneous. Better.com says an initial approval can take as little as two minutes. For a borrower nearing retirement, that speed creates a strange new trap.

Comparable store sales fell 5.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, then 2.9% in the second quarter, then just 1.6% in July after a 5% decline in June, and Harper said trends improved further over the first five weeks of the third quarter. Food and beverage sales are moving in the opposite direction entirely, up 7.6% in the quarter and positive for five straight quarters, helped by the Eat & Play Combo, a bundled meal and game credit offer sold through kiosks. Special event sales have now grown for seven consecutive quarters.
Behind that shift sits a rebuilt leadership bench. Dave & Buster's went more than a year without a chief marketing officer, and Harper has since added a CMO, a chief operations officer, a chief technology officer, and a chief legal officer since taking over. The company also leaned on new content, launching 10 games and attractions this year, including tie-ins with Mandalorian and Grogu, John Wick and Stranger Things, after research found more than 70% of guests said new games would bring them back more often. Changes to game pricing pushed play and dwell time up 16% to 20% or more. Six remodeled stores are already outperforming the rest of the chain, and management says the newest remodel template costs less to build than the last one. Net capital spending dropped to $127.6 million through the first half of the year from $155.4 million, and adjusted free cash flow swung to positive $19.5 million from negative $36.5 million, a $56 million improvement.
The headline figures were still rough. Total revenue slipped 2.4% to $544.1 million from $557.4 million a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA dropped to $98.9 million, an 18.2% margin, from $129.8 million and a 23.3% margin. On a GAAP basis, the company posted a net loss of $12.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, versus net income of $11.4 million in the same quarter last year. About $15 million of the EBITDA decline came from items management calls non-normalized, including a $10 million noncash deferral adjustment that did not repeat this year, $3 million in extra preopening costs and $2 million in higher insurance expenses, but even stripped of those, the underlying decline was still roughly $16 million.
