💍 The OG Party Girl is Engaged
Congratulations to Paris Hilton and her new fianceé, Carter Reum! The couple have been together for a little over a year, and Carter proposed during her birthday trip (Paris Hilton turning 40 makes us all feel old). Paris recently spoke about freezing her eggs and starting IVF in the near future, so we can expect this family to grow soon!
💔 KimYe Officially Calls It Quits
The rumors have been swirling for months (there’s an interesting TikTok theory around the timing of these rumors and who spoke to the press), but this weekend TMZ officially reported that Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West. For us die hard fans, we’re sad but not surprised. The couple have been spending more and more time apart — Kim in their Calabasas home with their 4 children and Kanye at their Wyoming ranch — but it truly is the end of an era. The questions I have now: Will she remove the ‘W’ from her beauty and fragrance lines? Will she move out of their weird cream house? Will Kanya run for president again?
Trigger Warning: Harassment and abuse
✊ FKA Twigs Accuses Ex Shia LeBeouf of Abuse
Musician FKA Twigs filed a lawsuit against her ex, Shia LeBeouf, back in December accusing him of physically, emotionally and mentally abusing her. Last week, she appeared on the cover of Elle magazine and sat down for an interview with Gayle King to discuss the trauma for the first time. Since her lawsuit, multiple exes of LeBeouf have come out in support of her — most surprising is LeBeouf’s most recent ex, Margaret Qualley. We thank FKA Twigs for her bravery and hope all impacted people get the healing and support they need.
