Prince William and Kate Middleton met as first-year students at the University of St. Andrews in the fall of 2001—25 years ago—and became friends.
Legend has it that Kate's appearance in a see-through tunic in a March 2002 fashion show is what caused William to become romantically attracted to her.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward counters that, though, revealing that the two had already been on a date months prior.
In the lore of Prince William and Kate Middleton's love story, legend has it that the future king was first romantically attracted to his friend Kate after seeing her walk in a 2002 charity fashion show. Sitting in the front row, William reportedly turned to a friend after seeing Kate hit the catwalk—in a see-through tunic made of gold and black fabric with blue-ribbon trim and a black bandeau bra and bikini bottoms underneath—and said, "She's hot!"
But according to longtime royal biographer Ingrid Seward, while Kate's modeling experience might have cemented William's interest in her, it wasn't the first spark. Writing for The Daily Mail, Seward said, "What no one knew back then—but I can exclusively reveal now—is that the couple had already been on a date."

You never know what Aaron Rodgers is going to say when he's behind a mic, and a new Not Just Football podcast with Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Cam Heyward served as a fresh reminder.
Most recently, Rodgers broke his silence on his public breakup with ex-girlfriend Danica Patrick
Rodgers and the former NASCAR star broke up in 2020 after dating for nearly two years. Following their breakup, Patrick accused him of being "emotionally abusive" during their relationship. Rodgers is now sharing his side of the story.
The 42-year-old NFL signal-caller took shots at Patrick for being "depressed" during their relationship, and ultimately cited a lack of intimacy and her "not fun to be around" as reasons for calling it quits.

Dolly Parton opened up to PEOPLE in 2020 about life lessons spanning her marriage, tattoos and knowing her own worth
Parton added that she was in "awe" of young talents like her goddaughter Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift
The country icon died on Aug. 25, 2026
In 2020, Dolly Parton opened up to PEOPLE about her marriage, music, and even her tattoos, sharing life lessons along the way. This interview was republished following her death at 80 years old following a "brief battle with cancer" on Aug. 25.
There was a moment in Dolly Parton's career when she understood what her life was worth, because she finally understood what her words—each one shaped by her fabled Smoky Mountains upbringing—were worth. At 74, Parton distinctly remembers the day in 1992 she heard Whitney Houston's version of her song "I Will Always Love You" on the radio. "It was a worldwide thing. It was in a movie; it was No. 1. I thought, 'Wow. I wrote that little song.' That's when I felt my worth as a songwriter. I thought, 'This is my gift, and I'm going to do the best I can with it.'"

Karamo Brown is going from Mr. Culture to Mr. Romance.
The TV personality and "Queer Eye" star, 45, opened up about his love life in a new interview with podcaster Carlos King, released Tuesday, June 30.
"I could get emotional. I've met my equal," Brown told King, although he did not reveal the identity of his partner. King noted that Brown's significant other is a fellow celebrity.
"It's powerful when you meet someone who you feel 100 percent safe with, you feel 100 percent secure with, who you can just trust with your heart," Brown continued. "Because you know they are just a great human being, and they get everything. It's special. It's pretty amazing."
Brown's remarks come amid recent reports that the reality TV star is dating actor and former "Empire" star Jussie Smollett. The pair was spotted hanging out together in Los Angeles on June 29, according to photos shared by TMZ.

Chris Brown was dealt a massive blow after losing a civil case stemming from a dog attack that occurred at his California home in December 2020. Nearly five years after the lawsuit was filed, the singer was ordered to pay $13 million in damages to his former housekeeper, who suffered severe injuries in the incident.
As that legal battle comes to a close, Brown is now preparing for a criminal trial in London, where he faces charges related to an alleged ******* ault.
On June 30, a California jury reached a verdict in a civil case against Chris Brown. In 2021, the singer's former housekeeper, Maria Avila, filed a lawsuit claiming that Brown's negligence led to a dog attack that left her disfigured.
In her court testimony, Maria told the jury that she feared for her life during the attack. "First he attacked this part of my face, and then he grabbed my arm, and he dragged me… He bit a part of my arm, and he dragged me some distance, but I don't know the distance," she said.
The housekeeper added that she saw Brown after she was attacked, but he didn't make a 911 call. Instead, he asked his team to do it.
