#RHOA: Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks talk creating 'good TV' again
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" fans will be getting a sweet blend of the past and present this season.
Season 16 of the hit Bravo "Housewives" franchise (premiering Sunday at 8 p.m. EDT/PDT on Bravo, streaming the next day on Peacock) will feature OGs Porsha Williams, Cynthia Bailey and, returning after six seasons, Phaedra Parks, along with returning cast member Drew Sidora and a slew of new ladies getting their peaches for the first time – Shamea Morton Mwangi, Brit Eady, Kelli Ferrell and Angela Oakley.
For Parks, this cast is a return to the fun and occasional "shadiness" fans love.
"We're trying to basically get back to what made Atlanta the flashiest of the franchise. Just good, old-fashioned, fun sisterhood," says the attorney, who is returning later this season. "Drama, but also, laughs and crying. I think that's what became missing in those past two seasons."
Parks said she decided to return because of Williams. The fan-favorite Frick and Frack duo is reuniting this season after years of ups and downs. "I love her," says Parks.
"And additionally, once I found out that Cynthia would be returning – we came into the show together as newbies," Parks says. "I love Cynthia, and our children have grown up together. So that was a definite plus."
Bailey is back as an official "friend of the Housewives" while focusing on her acting career, though she is still "very involved." She says: "I ended up shooting a lot more than I even thought I would even be shooting, to be honest."
Both women are excited for viewers to get to know the new cast. Morton Mwangi, a friend of Williams who has appeared on the show for years, is now getting a chance to be in the spotlight. Bailey says she "lives a fabulous life" and is excited for fans to get to know her more intimately.
Parks calls Eady a "ball of light" and a "beautiful girl inside and out," while Bailey says she's a "wild card" and a "fun time."
Bailey says viewers will enjoy Oakley's dynamic with her husband, former NBA player Charles Oakley, as well as her humor and filing in the resident pot-stirrer role. And Parks looks to Ferrell, who stands at 5 feet even, as her "little mini-me" and a "firecracker" in her own right.
"She's an entrepreneur, so I think that she's going to be a great role model for women, but also she's definitely very entertaining. She's a very loud little woman," Parks says of Ferrell, laughing.
Williams says she wasn't familiar with the new cast – outside of Morton Mwangi – beforehand and admits some of these relationships were "a little rocky" to start the season. "But they ended up developing right there on TV. Because I can relate to people who are real, and I will have to say that a few of these girls are real," she says. "Some of them, we're going through the same situation, and so they're very relatable."
As for their own appearances, Parks marks her return later this season, while Bailey pops in to be a "voice of reason and a support system" for the women, including Sidora, who has been part of the cast since 2020.
"Drew Sidora, I actually brought on show when she entered. And she's going through a divorce (from Ralph Pittman). Obviously, we were able to connect on that," Bailey adds, going through her own divorces in 2017 and 2022. "I had some advice for her, in terms of that."
Fans have seen Bailey pop in and out since Season 13, but she's been busy sharpening her acting chops. With credits on "The Cosby Show" and "Star," she's diving deeper into film and TV, including the Wendy Raquel Robinson-directed BET+ movie "Who's Cheating Who?," as well as "BMF" Season 3 on Starz.
Meanwhile, Parks, who has departed "Married to Medicine" and juggled reality hits on "The Traitors" and "Dancing With the Stars," is focused on work and family.
Her two sons "actually were born on the show, and I never took the day off, and people watched them grow up," she says. "Now them being young men, it's a different type of supervision. They are entrepreneurs themselves, and so from watching how I work and my strong work ethic, I'm hoping that they will be more successful than I am."
Season 16 comes amid the departures of Kandi Burruss, Marlo Hampton and Sanya Richards-Ross. Kenya Moore, who was originally set to appear throughout this season, departed the series following claims that she displayed "revenge porn." She was previously suspended indefinitely from filming by Bravo after an altercation with Eady.
Though the ladies remain mum about the situation, they're all in on the "new blood" shaking up the cast.
"A lot of people often talk about Season 6 being the sweet spot for Atlanta. It was something about that specific group of women, which I was a part of, that just worked. It just was good TV," Bailey says. "I'm excited to come back as a friend this season, to just help get the show back in that space where people really are excited to watch it again."
She says some people "have dropped off" since then, and new faces were necessary.
The show "ultimately has to be able to keep bringing a couple of new people in every season," she says. "Otherwise, you end up with a cast where we're just still having the same conversations and the same arguments."
"We always have a splash of drama, but it won't be dark, and so we're trying to lighten it up and just enjoy each other," says Parks. "Right now, I think we're in a moment where people come to television to escape. And so we'll be offering an escape from everyone's normal life with a lot of fun, a lot of fabulousness, a lot of fashion (and) a lot of very powerful stories because everyone's got a different story."

#HipHopNews: Messy Motion To Dismiss? UMG Fires Back At Drake's Defamation Lawsuit
As predicted, Universal Music Group has moved to dismiss Drake’s defamation lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” On Monday (March 17), the world’s biggest music company filed its first court response, and yes, they came out swinging.
“[Drake], one of the most successful recording artists of all time, lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated,” UMG stated in the motion. “Instead of accepting the loss like the unbothered rap artist he often claims to be, he has sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds. [Drake’s] complaint is utterly without merit and should be dismissed with prejudice.”
It’s worth mentioning that the filing opened with a quote from Drake’s 2009 classic, “Successful”: “Yeah, I want it all, that's why I strive for it / Diss me, you'll never hear a reply for it.” If nothing else, the label’s lawyers knew how to make the 32-page legal document at least somewhat entertaining.
In their response, the attorneys argued that “Not Like Us” falls under “chilling legitimate artistic expression safeguarded by the First Amendment.” They also zeroed in on the visual companion’s “exaggerated imagery,” which notably saw Lamar smashing an owl-shaped piñata and whispering to a clown that he sees “dead people.”
Another interesting point UMG made is that “Not Like Us” didn’t just “emerge out of thin air.” Instead, they said that Drake played a role in escalating the feud, with both rappers “hurling increasingly vitriolic allegations at each other.” The filing specifically referenced the Canadian hitmaker’s claims about Lamar’s family — like the insinuations that his son isn’t actually his and that he physically abuses his fiancée, Whitney Alford — across “Family Matters” and “THE HEART PART 6.”
Elsewhere in the legal papers, UMG’s legal team shared a friendly reminder of Drake’s own stance on rap lyrics in court. “Notably, less than three years ago, Drake himself signed a public petition criticizing ‘the trend of prosecutors using artists’ creative expression against them’ by treating rap lyrics as literal fact,” the motion read.
For context, he and several other musicians signed 2022’s Art on Trial: Protect Black Art petition, which rallied support behind Young Thug amid his high-profile RICO trial. Drake’s lawsuit and the Atlanta rapper’s case are obviously two very different situations, so it’ll be interesting to see if that argument actually holds up in court.

Jonathan Majors secretly marries Meagan Good months after assault allegations: Report
Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good confirmed their engagement in November 2024. The duo was first rumoured to be dating in May 2023.
Actors Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good reportedly got married on Tuesday in Los Angeles, months after their engagement. As per etonline.com, the duo opted for a 'small private wedding'. Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good dated for some time before getting married.
Quoting its source, ET said that tied the knot at their home. Jonathan’s mother, who is a pastor, was the officiant of the wedding. Meagan's mother was the witness. It was only the couple and their mothers at the wedding service.
According to a source of People, "they truly care for one another". Another source said, “They are very much in love. At Paige Hurd and Royce O’Neale’s engagement party in Studio City this past Saturday, they were smiling and happy. They were both glowing. She was introducing him to everyone as her fiancé. At one point, Meagan was sitting in his lap, and you can tell they are both enamoured.”
The couple confirmed their engagement to PEOPLE in November 2024. At the EBONY Power 100 Gala, she showed her diamond engagement ring while posing on the red carpet. The duo was first rumoured to be dating in May 2023. They were spotted watching a film together in Los Angeles. During that time, Jonathan was convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. He was found guilty by a Manhattan jury of two misdemeanour counts of harassment and assault but was acquitted on two other counts.
Jonathan was later arrested in New York City after assaulting Grace in the backseat of a private vehicle. Grace, a dancer, met Jonathan on the set of Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. She filed a civil lawsuit against Jonathan, in which she shared several alleged instances of abuse, according to legal documents. Later, she dropped the lawsuit. Jonathan Kang played Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and was pipped to be the next big antagonist of the franchise. However, he was removed from the films after his legal drama.
Jonathan is making his return to the big screen with Magazine Dreams which will release in theaters on March 21. The film is written and directed by Elijah Bynum. The actor features as Killian Maddox, an amateur bodybuilder struggling with his mental and physical health as he vies to reach champion status in the film.

Mariah Carey Side-Eyes iHeartRadio Awards Tribute Performance, Jokes About “Bad Lighting”
Mariah Carey was honored with the Icon Award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday night (March 17). Broadcast live from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, her celebratory moment came with a musical tribute performed by Muni Long and Tori Kelly.
Taking the stage in an all-black pantsuit, Muni Long delivered a rendition of Carey’s 2005 hit “We Belong Together.” As she performed, the camera panned to Mariah Carey in the audience. Sitting next to Anderson .Paak, the R&B singer turned to display a side-eye, however, it is not clear what she reacted to. As Muni Long wrapped up, Mariah Carey smiled and applauded.
Next, Tori Kelly took center stage in a sparkling black and silver gown to perform Carey’s 1995 hit “Always Be My Baby.” The camera highlighted the Butterfly musician singing along before she joined the audience in applauding as the performance ended.
When accepting the Icon Award, the 55-year-old proudly spoke after being introduced by LL Cool J.
“Is the lighting OK cause I don’t like bad lighting,” Carey quipped, before spinning around, showcasing her all-black ensemble to the audience. “Thank you iHeart for this incredible honor. Thank you Muni and Tori for these beautiful performances. And LL, thank you for your kind words.”
She continued, “As a kid I used to listen to my favorite artists on the radio and dream of being on the airwaves myself. Now, for those of you who may not know what airwaves are, think of it as the non-WiFi of streaming. Even now I still get excited when I hear one of my songs playing on the radio. It never stops being magical.”

Mo’Nique Calls Out Tyler Perry After He Blasts Music Industry At Angie Stone’s Funeral
Mo’Nique has a message for Tyler Perry. After seeing him open up about the mistreatment Angie Stone faced while speaking at her funeral, the Deliverance star took to Instagram on Tuesday (March 18) to address “unsettling discrepancies in [Perry’s] actions towards me.”
She first issued “heartfelt condolences” to Stone’s family and prefaced her open letter to Perry by stating, “Please know that your fight inspired us to write this letter, and that the fight doesn’t end with your passing, as it is only beginning.”
Mo’Nique then admitted that Perry’s speech “struck” a chord with herself and her husband, Sidney, causing them to “reflect” across four points
The first being the entertainment mogul‘s “anger over Angie’s mistreatment.” For the actress, she recalled being labeled by Perry as “difficult to work with,” in spite of them “never having worked” together. Mo’Nique questioned, “How can you condemn poor treatment of others when you’ve imposed the same on me? We have audio of you admitting you were wrong.”
She called out the public apology that he reportedly promised her in 2016, and the “false narrative you perpetuated helped blackball me, costing me tens of millions,” adding, “Where’s the restitution for that?”
Mo’Nique condemned Perry’s “double standard” and lack of accountability when it comes to her despite being a “man of faith.” She concluded her thoughts by expressing, “I hope your words at Angie’s funeral inspire you to correct the wrongs done to my family and me. You have the power to do so. As you’ve shared biblical teachings, please remember: “What will it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul” (Mark 8:36). We await your response.”
Some fans believe Mo’Nique was in the right to express herself, but others criticized her approach.
One commented, “Mo, wrong place & wrong time.” To which Mo’Nique replied, “Angie Stone and I are like so many other black women. #IAMANGIESTONE. Dedicated to all the sisters before and until now, violated by the industry. And it’s never gonna be a convenient time for some to hear the truth.”
Another responded, “Did you think about her children when you wrote this? They just lost their mother.! Don’t use this occassion to air your issues. This is in poor taste. This looks bad. How are you any different from those you are questioning. Death is not the time to throw stones.”
Mo’Nique fired back with: “Should I wait until the moment has passed to speak up for not only my family not only Angie Stones family but for every sisters family who has been violated by the business especially, when I know the man’s name who violated me or would you prefer for me to pass for me to have my moment of truth? I am taking notes from my sister Angie, she spoke up while she was here and I am too.”
During Stone’s funeral, Perry called out promoters and record labels for not aptly compensating the soul singer. “Women like Angie Stone who’s been in the business all these years, you’re gonna forget about what she did? All of the people that she put on and helped? See, you got to go through something to write a song like ’20 Dollars,’” he stated.
Growing progressively frustrated, Perry addressed the crowd by saying, “Y’all got to forgive me because I’m angry at the way she was treated […] To think that this woman was in the business for all of these years. See, there’s a difference between performing because you want to and performing because you have to. I’m tired of seeing us struggle and go through things and work hard and not reap the benefits of what we were supposed to reap.”
He has not yet addressed Mo’Nique’s sentiment.

You have the power to do so. As you’ve shared biblical teachings, please remember: “What will it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul” (Mark 8:36). We await your response.”
Some fans believe Mo’Nique was in the right to express herself, but others criticized her approach.
One commented, “Mo, wrong place & wrong time.” To which Mo’Nique replied, “Angie Stone and I are like so many other black women. #IAMANGIESTONE. Dedicated to all the sisters before and until now, violated by the industry. And it’s never gonna be a convenient time for some to hear the truth.”
Another responded, “Did you think about her children when you wrote this? They just lost their mother.! Don’t use this occassion to air your issues. This is in poor taste. This looks bad. How are you any different from those you are questioning. Death is not the time to throw stones.”
Mo’Nique fired back with: “Should I wait until the moment has passed to speak up for not only my family not only Angie Stones family but for every sisters family who has been violated by the business especially, when I know the man’s name who violated me or would you prefer for me to pass for me to have my moment of truth? I am taking notes from my sister Angie, she spoke up while she was here and I am too.”
During Stone’s funeral, Perry called out promoters and record labels for not aptly compensating the soul singer. “Women like Angie Stone who’s been in the business all these years, you’re gonna forget about what she did? All of the people that she put on and helped? See, you got to go through something to write a song like ’20 Dollars,’” he stated.
Growing progressively frustrated, Perry addressed the crowd by saying, “Y’all got to forgive me because I’m angry at the way she was treated […] To think that this woman was in the business for all of these years. See, there’s a difference between performing because you want to and performing because you have to. I’m tired of seeing us struggle and go through things and work hard and not reap the benefits of what we were supposed to reap.”
He has not yet addressed Mo’Nique’s sentiment.
Young M.A. responds to leaked hospital video
Brooklyn rapper Young M.A. has addressed the recent circulation of an old hospital video that surfaced online, allegedly leaked by a former partner. The footage, which captures the artist in a visibly weak state while at a medical facility, sparked widespread conversation on social media.
Taking to Instagram, Young M.A. reassured fans that she is in good health and remains unshaken by the incident. Expressing disappointment over the video's release, she stated that she had already addressed her past health struggles through her music.
“I just feel like that was so foul,” she said. “I don’t even know how a person could have the urge to do something like that. That just speaks a lot, and I never knew this was her character. But people be people sometimes, and it is what it is.”
Despite her frustration, Young M.A. emphasized that she is not ashamed of her past and has moved forward. She described that period in her life as a "real dark" time but affirmed that she is now in good health and that her supporters are aware of her progress.
Concerns about Young M.A.’s health initially arose in 2023 after a video shared by her barber showed her with visible hair loss and jaundice in her eyes. In response to speculation, the rapper later addressed her health challenges in her song Watch, released in early 2024.
In the track, she directly references the viral video, rapping, “Thought that I was dying when they seen me with those yellow eyes… Surprise m**********s, I’m alive. God wasn’t finished with me.”
Following the leak, social media users largely supported Young M.A., criticizing the individual who shared the video. Many fans expressed relief that the rapper has since recovered and continues to thrive.
One user commented, “Why was she even recording her like that?” while another wrote, “Worst nightmare is being vulnerable and needing help, only for those who helped to turn around and use it against you.”
Others praised Young M.A. for overcoming her struggles, with one fan stating, “Glad she got her health back.”
Despite the controversy, Young M.A. remains focused on her well-being and career, maintaining her resilience in the face of personal challenges.

Joseph Sikora Joins ‘Reasonable Doubt’ Season 3
Joseph Sikora is the newest talent to join the hit Hulu-Onyx Collective legal drama “Reasonable Doubt” for Season 3, TheWrap has learned.
“The plot thickens…” the official Instagram page for the series boasted in a post on Tuesday, adding a few details about what fans can expect to see from the longtime “Power” franchise star’s new character Bill Sterling. “Joseph Sikora is bringing his talent to ‘Reasonable Doubt’ Season 3! Say hello to Bill Sterling, the man who has got his eyes on Jax and the partner position.”
Sikora’s Sterling, Jax Stewart’s (Emayatzy Corinealdi) coworker, launched a career in law later on in life following a 10-year tenure as a Coast Guard. But now, he’s looking to lock in the partner spot at Jax’s law firm Binder, Hurwitz & Stewart, where his “proximity to Jax becomes imperative to his success.”
Before the news of him joining “Reasonable Doubt,” Sikora stole the hearts of fans as the rough and rowdy drug dealer Tommy Egan in the hit Starz crime series “Power,” which earned him his own spinoff show “Power Book IV: Force.” Since then he’s gone on to land roles in Netflix’s “Ozark,” the film “Fear” and more.
He will join “Reasonable Doubt” alongside series regulars Corinealdi, McKinley Freeman, Tim Jo and Angela Grovey. Sikora is represented by Independent Artist Group (IAG) and LaPolt Law.
If you have not watched “Reasonable Doubt,” here is a description of the series: “In ‘Reasonable Doubt,’ you’ll judge Jax Stewart for her questionable ethics and wild interpretations of the law … until you’re the one in trouble. Then you’ll see her for what she is: the most brilliant and fearless defense attorney in Los Angeles who bucks the justice system at every chance she gets.”
“Reasonable Doubt” is created, written and executive produced by Raamla Mohamed. Kerry Washington executive-produces alongside Pilar Savone for Simpson Street, Larry Wilmore via Wilmore Films, Anton Cropper and Lena Cordina. Shawn Holley, Jon Leshay, Tamara Gregory, Erika Harrison and Zahir McGhee serve as co-executive producers. The series hails from Onyx Collective and is produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios.
There are currently no details about when Season 3 of “Reasonable Doubt” will premiere.

Eminem Joins Detroit’s WNBA Expansion Bid Group
The Detroit native is part of a group that has been led by Tom Gores and the Detroit Pistons, said the person, who was granted anonymity because the details are private. Others in the group include owners of the Red Wings, Tigers and Lions, marking a city-wide effort to bring a women’s basketball team back to Michigan’s largest city.
The WNBA is in the middle of expansion talks, originally expected to select one city, that many now expect could cover three new teams. That’s on top of new franchises in San Francisco, Toronto and Portland that are joining the league in the coming seasons. Owners for all three of those new teams—and many of the bidders in this current round—are backed by NBA owners.
It’s unclear what the Detroit group has offered to pay, but many other groups are discussing expansion fees—cash, not costs committed to the teams—well into the nine figures, sources said. Reps for Eminem and the Pistons didn’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
WNBA team owners hold about 42% of the league—that’s separate from the equity also held by the NBA or a consortium of investors in a 2022 capital raise. Expansion will only dilute the 42% held by league owners, Sportico reported earlier this week.
Bids for this ongoing round of expansion were due at the end of January, and the process drew interest from groups both inside the NBA and beyond. More than 10 cities submitted formal bids in advance of the deadline, The Athletic reported in early February, including groups in Austin, Charlotte, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Nashville and Philadelphia.
The Detroit WNBA franchise would play at Little Caesars Arena, the $863 million home of the Pistons and Red Wings. The potential ownership group includes Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp, Red Wings/Tigers owner Denise Ilitch and Arn Tellem, a longtime sports agent who is now a Pistons executive. The group also includes former NBA players Grant Hill and Chris Webber, Lions quarterback Jared Goff, General Motors CEO Mary Barra, sports investor Roger Ehrenberg and Steve Jbara, the founder of the G League team in Grand Rapids.
Detroit had a WNBA team from the late 1990s through 2009, and NBA commissioner Adam Silver recently told the Pistons’ website that Detroit “needs to get a WNBA team again.”
“I actually think it’s really just a question of when the Shock comes back,” he said. “Over time, there’s going to be a lot of expansion in the WNBA. That’s a first-class group led by Tom [Gores].”
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, grew up in Detroit, and his ties to the city have become a large part of his celebrity. That includes his fandom of local teams. He has been a prominent figure these past few seasons at Lions games, for example.
WNBA valuations have jumped dramatically in recent years. The average franchise is now worth about $96 million, according to Sportico’s most recent numbers, led by the Las Vegas Aces at $140 million.
Houston attorney Tony Buzbee withdraws from sex trafficking lawsuit against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Houston attorney Tony Buzbee has withdrawn himself from a sex trafficking lawsuit filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
The withdrawal comes after a federal judge signed an order saying Buzbee had not been permitted to practice law in the Southern District of New York. The order went on to say Buzbee shall file a letter by Mar. 18 explaining why he failed to notify the court about his inability to practice law in the Southern District of New York and propose steps to rectify it.
In a letter to U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams, Buzbee says he made an “error in judgement” by failing to inform him that he lacked the eligibility to practice law in the Southern District of New York.
“I now seek to remedy this error by withdrawing my representation of the Plaintiff in this matter pending the resolution of my admission to this court,” the letter says. “As an attorney in good standing of the New York State Bar, the Texas State Bar, and your sister district, the Bar for Eastern District of the State of New York, I believe I am eminently qualified and should not be precluded from representing the Plaintiff in this action. At this time, however, my admission status has become a distraction that has shifted the focus of the matter away from where it should be, which is securing justice for the Plaintiff.”
The letter goes on to say the plaintiff in the case will continue to be represented by counsel from another law firm until Buzbee sorts out the issues.
Houston attorney Tony Buzbee reveals new details on more than 100 pending lawsuits against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Buzbee had been representing over 120 individuals who allege they were victimized by Combs.
Combs has been in a Brooklyn jail since his September arrest on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. He is currently awaiting trial for the charges.

Amy Robach And T.J. Holmes Spark Engagement Rumor With Ring On Her Finger
It appears wedding bells might be ringing soon for Amy Robach and T. J. Holmes. The couple ignited engagement rumors when Robach, 52, was seen flaunting a prominent ring on her left hand at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday, March 17.
Sporting a bright blue one-shoulder dress, Robach was all smiles as she's flashing her new bling while standing beside Holmes. Their chemistry was palpable as the former "GMA3" anchors of the now co-hosted "Amy & T.J." and "I Do, Part 2" podcasts gazed adoringly at each other for the cameras.
Holmes, 47, complemented Robach's look with a dashing gray suit and a white button-up shirt. Adding a family element to the outing, Holmes' 12-year-old daughter, Sabine, from his previous marriage to Marilee Fiebig, joined the happy couple.
This sight clearly deviated from Robach's appearance just two weeks prior when she attended the New York premiere of Cirque Du Soleil's "Luiza" without any ring.
The pair has been notably private about their relationship status ever since their highly publicized affair was brought to light in November 2022, leading to their respective divorces and subsequent firing from "GMA3."
Robach finalized her divorce from Andrew Shue in March 2023 and Holmes followed suit, finalizing his divorce from Marilee Fiebig in October 2023. Interestingly, Fiebig and Shue have since found solace in each other, moving in together recently.
The couple has been defending their romance, vehemently denying accusations of infidelity and asserting that they were "two consenting adults who were each separated" during their affair.
Currently, the budding couple is taking their time before officially tying the knot. On her "I Do, Part 2" podcast, Robach expressed that there is no rush for her and Holmes to walk down the aisle.
She mentioned, "I don't need to rush into anything. I think I have rushed into everything in my life up until now. But, he knows I wanna get married, and I know he wants to get married."
Although the engagement speculation is rife, a rep for Holmes and Robach has yet to comment, leaving fans eagerly awaiting confirmation. For Robach and Holmes, this chapter appears to be more about the journey than a swift destination.

Lizzo Has 'Beef' With Andy Cohen After He 'Outed' Her Relationship
Lizzo revealed her "beef" with Andy Cohen when dropping by his SiriusXM radio show. She called out the host for exposing her relationship with boyfriend Myke Wright back in April 2022.
Reflecting on the moment, Lizzo said, "I really got beef with you because the last time we saw each other you f***ing outed me!" Although she now finds the situation "so funny," it put her in an awkward position at the time since their relationship wasn't publicly confirmed yet.
"I was in such a weird position because, like, we're so private, but he was there and I was like, 'I don't want to say 'no' because I don't want to [hurt him].' "
Cohen asked if confirming the relationship caused any issues between her and Wright. Lizzo reassured, "No. It started s*** with the world, though." She added, "I think when the world sees two happy people, they want to destroy them."
Lizzo and Myke Wright's history dates back to 2016 when they co-hosted MTV's "Wonderland" together. Their romance, officially confirmed in April 2022, flourished over the years, leading to a major red carpet debut at a "For Your Consideration" event for her Watch Out for the Big Grrrls Amazon Prime Video reality competition series just two months later.
In a candid December 2022 interview on "The Howard Stern Show", Lizzo discussed the time it took for their relationship to evolve, "We're not playing any games with each other anymore. We're very much locked in."
Elaborating on her journey to finding love, the "Truth Hurts" singer revealed, "I had a lot of s*** to do, and I still was very much in my 'I feel un-loveable' place..."
Despite these personal challenges, their relationship solidified, and Stern even touched upon the possibility of marriage. Lizzo confidently responded, "There's nobody else I'm going to be with for the rest of my life."
Lizzo and Wright made a rare red carpet appearance earlier this month at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars party. Additionally, Lizzo has recently announced her third album, "Love in Real Life", set for a 2025 release. With new songs like "Love in Real Life" and "Still Bad," fans have much to anticipate from the powerhouse artist.

Kanye West attacks Beyonce's children in sickening new rant using horrific slur
Kanye West has sparked outrage after he made sickening claims about Beyonce and Jay-Z's children. The controversial rapper - who recently returned to X after taking his account offline following a string of anti-Semitic comments - has caused fierce backlash as he claimed the kids are 'unseen'. Taking to X on Tuesday evening (19.03.25), he wrote: "WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS THEYRE R------D," before adding: "NO LIKE LITERALLY AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMANATION IS SUCH A BLESSING. HAVING R------D CHILDREN IS A CHOICE."
The 48 year old then declared, "IF TWITTER TAKE MY S--- DOWN THEM SO BE IT BUT I NEED YALL TO NO JAY Z OR NOBODY HAVE NO POWER OVER ME," and then said: "AT LEAST JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ GET TO RAISE THEIR R------D ASS KIDS." Musician Beyonce and her husband share Blue Ivy Carter, 13, and twins, Rumi Carter and Sir Carter, both seven. Kanye was previously married to reality superstar Kim Kardashian from 2014 until 2022 and has North, 11, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and five-year-old Psalm with her.
Last month, Kanye insisted he's "not a Nazi" after "further reflection". The rapper sparked fierce backlash after declaring his admiration for Adolf Hitler and branding himself a Nazi, which resulted in his X account being taken down. He also revealed his shocking swastika t-shirt that had been in the pipeline for some time.
In response to his Yeezy store being pulled due to the merchandise bearing the notorious Nazi hate symbol, he wrote: "No one seems to wanna produce me wittle t shirt.(sic)"
In one of his previous social media rants, Kayne had declared his previous anti-Semitic comments to be "90 percent Jew proof" and he went on to explain he meant no one had been able to "stop" him.

What's more, a representative for Kanye and his wife Bianca Censori has denied reports suggesting the pair are heading for divorce. the couple were reported to have split in February in the aftermath of the 47-year-old rapper's latest stunt with his T-shirts emblazoned with a swastika.
The rep Milo Yiannopoulos told The Hollywood Reporter last month: "Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together. Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumor in the tabloid press. Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has wrongly reported that Ye and Bianca are separating? I’ve lost track."

Nick Cannon is opening up about expanding her broad even further.
The 44-year-old The Masked Singer host is currently the father to 12 children with six different women, including Mariah Carey and Selling Sunset‘s Bre Tiesi.

Tracy Morgan Breaks Silence After Medical Emergency at Knicks Game
Tracy Morgan is on the mend.The 30 Rock star shared an update on social media March 18, one day after experiencing a health scare at a New York Knicks basketball game at Madison Square Garden.
"Thank you for all your concern!" Morgan captioned a selfie on Instagram of himself laying in a hospital bed, flashing a thumbs-up. "I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning. Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out the crew that had to clean that up. Appreciate you!"
In fact, the comedian joked the incident wasn’t a foul at all—and could be a positive for the team, who faced off against the Miami Heat. "More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court,” he wrote, “so maybe I’ll have to break it out again in the playoffs."
Morgan's update comes hours after the 56-year-old threw up on the court and appeared to be bleeding from his nose. In videos shared on social media, Morgan was seen blotting his face with what looked to be a towel while being ushered off the court in a wheelchair.
It’s not the first time Morgan has experienced a health scare, either. Back in 2014, he was severely injured in a car accident when a limo he was riding in was hit by a Walmart truck.
Morgan was diagnosed with a severe brain injury and multiple broken bones. The collision, which took place in New Jersey, also led to a six-car pile-up.
"I broke every bone in my face, my ribs. I pulverized my femur," Morgan said in his 2017 Netflix special Staying Alive. "I'm from the ghetto and after I came out the coma, I was blind for a week and where I come from, you don't want to be blind for a second."

After experiencing the near-fatal accident, Morgan—who is dad to daughter Maven, 11, with Megan Wollover as well as adult sons Gitrid, Malcolm and Tracy Jr. with ex Sabina Morgan—remains eternally grateful.
"I'm just thanking the Lord that I'm a part of this," Morgan told Matt Rogers at SNL 50 in February, "that I survived that accident and I'm alive to be here for this."
"Thank you for all your concern!" Morgan captioned a selfie on Instagram of himself laying in a hospital bed, flashing a thumbs-up. "I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning. Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out the crew that had to clean that up. Appreciate you!"

Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Ban on Transgender Troops
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to ban transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military.
U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes issued a preliminary injunction on Tuesday, preventing the Department of Defense from enforcing the policy while legal challenges continue. In her ruling, Reyes strongly criticized the administration, arguing that the ban violates transgender service members’ constitutional rights.
“The cruel irony is that thousands of transgender service members have sacrificed—some risking their lives—to ensure for others the very equal protection rights the Military Ban seeks to deny them,” Reyes wrote.
The lawsuit was filed by six current transgender service members and two individuals hoping to enlist, challenging a Trump executive order from January 27 that aimed to remove transgender troops. The order had directed the Pentagon to create a plan for implementing the ban within 30 days.
This ruling is the latest in a series of court decisions blocking Trump’s executive orders, leading to concerns that the administration may eventually defy a federal court ruling. Trump has promised to appeal but has also openly criticized judges who rule against him.
For now, transgender troops can continue serving while the legal battle plays out.
