Some of the best and brightest of Hollywood jumped at the chance to let their hair down as they headed to the star-studded Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday.

After a night that saw Oppenheimer come out on top with seven wins, stars including Billie Eilish, Mark Ronson and even Kim Kardashian headed to the Wallis Annenberg Centre for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.

Billie Eilish proudly posed with her gong in hand after winning Best Original Song for What Was I Made For? from Barbie.

The hitmaker couldn’t hide her beaming smile as she showed off the latest addition to her awards collection.

Director Steven Spielberg opted to shun the swanky dinner on offer for stars at the party, instead tucking into an In-N-Out burger.

While the Indiana Jones frontman did not receive any nominations at this year’s Oscars, he did act as a producer for the acclaimed musical The Colour Purple.

After taking to the stage with Ryan Gosling for his viral performance of I’m Just Ken, Mark Ronson attended the party with his wife Grace Gummer.

The loved-up pair didn’t shy away from packing on the PDA as they shared a cheeky kiss following their arrival at the party.

Ronson and Gummer began their relationship in 2020, and they became engaged the following May.

The producer was previously married to Josephine de La Baume from 2011 until 2018, and he was also formerly engaged to Rashida Jones.

The actress previously tied the knot with Tay Strathairn in 2019, although they filed for divorce just over a month after their wedding ceremony.

Mark and Grace eventually moved on with each other, and they tied the knot in August of 2021.

Having already stunned in a dramatic white satin gown, Kim Kardashian mingled with Lindsay Lohan as they made their way inside the party. 

Kim showed off very trim frame in a structured white bodycon gown with a dramatic spiked shoulder as she posed up a storm.

The gown flattered her tiny waist and shapely hips and was paired with sparking earrings.

Sharon Stone cut a glamorous figure in a gorgeous nude sequinned gown as she posed for snaps with Killers Of The Flower Moon director Martin Scorsese.

After revealing last month that he had tied the knot with his longterm girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea, Usher and his wife packed on the PDA at the party.

Despite posing separately on the red carpet, Barry Keoghan and his girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter did little to hide their budding romance, with the Saltburn star proudly showing off a cute bracelet sporting the singer’s name. 

Oppenheimer won a whopping seven Oscars at Sunday night’s Academy Awards – while rival Barbie only won one.

Meanwhile Emma Stone led Poor Things to an impressive four including her Best Actress win and UK film The Zone Of Interest won two at the gala event held at The Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California. 

The historical epic directed by Christopher Nolan swept the major categories with wins for Best Actor Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor Robert Downey Jr. and Nolan – with the film also winning Best Picture.

In contrast, Barbie, who memorably won against Oppenheimer in the ‘Barbenheimer’ box office showdown over the summer, walked away with just one award for Best Original Song for What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish and Finneas McConnell. 

Downey Jr. jokingly thanked his ‘terrible childhood’ as he finally won an Oscar for his portrayal of Lewis Strauss, was delighted as he took to the stage –  after host Jimmy Kimmel made a very awkward quip about his drug use.

The veteran actor – who has acted for over five decades –  took home the Academy Award over stiff competition including Sterling K. Brown, American Fiction, Robert De Niro, Killers of the Flower Moon, Ryan Gosling, Barbie, and Mark Ruffalo, Poor Things.

Oppenheimer won seven awards in total – as well as Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, and Best Picture,  it won Original Score for Ludwig Göransson – along with cinematography and achievement in film editing.

Al Pacino announced Oppenheimer as the Best Picture winner without bothering to name all the other nominees.

After the two films were released on the same day – July 21 – Barbenheimer gripped film fans who made an event out of going directly from the screening of one to the other. 

Barbie was the highest-grossing movie of the year on both the domestic ($636.2 million) and worldwide ($1.445 billion) box office charts.

Oppenheimer took fifth place ($326.1 million) on the domestic box office charts and third place ($957.8 million) on the worldwide charts.

Meanwhile Emma, 35, powered through a wardrobe malfunction as she beat out an impressive field including favorite Lily Gladstone from Killers Of The Flower Moon in addition to Annette Bening, Nyad, Sandra Huller, Anatomy of a Fall, and Carey Mulligan, Maestro.

As Emma was walking on stage she signaled that there was something wrong with her dress as she quickly acknowledged it during her emotional acceptance speech.

She said: ‘Oh, boy. My dress is broken. I think it happened during I’m Just Ken. I’m pretty sure. Oh, boy, this is really — this is really overwhelming. Sorry, I’m — okay, my voice is also a little gone. Whatever.’

Da’Vine Joy Randolph emotionally kicked off the Oscars as she broke into tears as she earned the coveted Actress in a Supporting Role for The Holdovers.

The talented 37-year-old actress beat out stiff competition including Emily Blunt, Oppenheimer, Danielle Brooks, The Color Purple, America Ferrera, Barbie, and Jodie Foster, Nyad.

Arriving hand-in-hand for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix wearing vintage Gucci and a poker face, Geri Horner was determined to give everyone a clear message: Stand By Your Man. 

Spice Girl Geri was seen sharing several PDAs with her beleaguered husband Christian Horner – after the humiliating leak of hundreds of WhatsApp messages, apparently exchanged between the Red Bull team principle and a female colleague. 

And yet the couple were all over each other, sharing kisses and huddling up close, all in full sight of the photographers.

It comes straight out of the playbook of a beleagured MP after a cheating scandal – kiss for the cameras and perhaps it will make everyone forget. 

Dominic West tried the same tactic in a notoriously awkward photoshoot with his wife in 2020, after he was caught in a passionate clinch with then co-star Lily James.

Another memorable cheating row from that same year saw a teary-eyed Will Smith put on a show of unity with Jada Pinkett-Smith after she admitted to an affair with musician August Alsina – by appearing on their family talk show.

Here, FEMAIL takes a look at the cringe-worthy moments of solidarity from seemingly hard-done spouses…

CHRISTIAN HORNER AND GERI HALIWELL 

Geri Halliwell shared a kiss with her beleaguered husband Christian Horner at the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend, amid scandal rumours.

It appeared that Christian leaned in to kiss his wife in full view of the cameras as the world watched their response to the controversy that has rocked Formula One.

After they shared a smooch, Geri seemed to look directly at photographers. 

Her husband, Red Bull F1 chief Christian, has faced allegations relating to hundreds of WhatsApp messages that appeared to be written by him to a female colleague.

Christian was cleared to continue as Red Bull head following an internal probe into ‘inappropriate behaviour’ by the F1 team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH. The 50-year-old has always denied the claims. 

Christian initially broke cover on Saturday morning with no sign of Geri after his wife found out the texts were leaked as she was flying in a private jet.

Yet the couple walked hand-in-hand in the Paddock in Bahrain. Geri appeared red-eyed as she put on a brave face, smiling while her husband clenched her hand. 

Last week, Red Bull cleared Horner of inappropriate behaviour allegations which were made by a female employee.

But 24 hours later, flirtatious WhatsApp messages apparently exchanged between Christian and the female complainant were leaked to 149 F1 figures while Geri was on a flight to see her husband ahead of this weekend’s season opener.

An insider previously told the Mail it would be ‘mayhem’ if Geri showed her face at Saturday’s Grand Prix. 

However, Red Bull confirmed to Mail Sport on Saturday that the former Spice Girl would be on the grid and she was seen at around 1.20pm with her F1 boss husband.

Geri was holding ‘crisis talks’ over Christian’s leaked text messages and did not want to meet her husband in Bahrain until she was talked into it by his family, sources earlier claimed.

Red Bull workers are reportedly afraid that more messages may be leaked.

Christian, who has won 13 world championships since heading the team as a 31-year-old in 2005, had previously thanked his ‘very supportive wife’ for her backing during the accusations.

Geri and Christian mixed in social circles before they struck up a romance, having first met each other at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2009.

Their relationship, however, got off to a rocky start, coming under fire after the Red Bull chief left his long-term partner Beverley Allen six months after she gave birth to their daughter Olivia.

While the couple took a short break to see if Christian could rescue his relationship with the mother of his child, just nine months later he announced his engagement to Ginger Spice in a notice in the The Times in 2014.

The former Spice Girl and Red Bull boss tied the knot at St Mary’s Church in Woburn, Bedfordshire, in 2015.

Geri’s A-line lace bridal gown was designed by British designer Phillipa Lepley.

Her nine-year-old daughter, Bluebell, whom she had with screenwriter Sacha Gervasi in 2005, also attended the wedding.

Guests included Geri’s former Spice Girls co-star Emma Bunton, radio presenter and singer Myleene Klass, and TV presenter Amanda Holden.

DOMINIC WEST AND CATHERINE FITZGERALD

Dominic West and his wife struck a ‘denial pose’ in echoes of ‘unfaithful politicians trying to save their careers’ as they posed outside their house in 2020 – in a famously awkward photoshoot.

The actor, who wasn’t wearing his wedding ring, and his wife Catherine FitzGerald kissed and put on a united front outside their Wiltshire home after his passionate clinch with Lily James in Rome in a pose reminiscent of various MPs – including the likes of Piers Merchant. 

Speaking to FEMAIL at the time, body language guru Judi James said she was surprised the couple went for the ‘old-school and rather gruesome body language ritual known as ‘The Denial’ pose’ to prove their marriage is still ‘strong’ and that they’re ‘very much still together’.

‘Whether prompted by guilt or actual innocence, the denial ritual is notoriously and historically one of the trickiest non-verbal performances to pull off,’ she explained. 

‘A favourite of face-and-career-saving politicians, who would often involve their entire family in the Walton’s-style shots, the public have become cynical as a result of so many of them emerging just prior to a split.’ 

The photos came one day after the actor and the Mamma Mia! star Lily, caused quite the stir with their passionate – and very public – display and didn’t seem to mind who saw them as they cuddled up while taking in the sights of the Italian city. 

JADA PINKETT-SMITH AND WILL SMITH 

Many fans were left wincing after Will Smith four years ago joined his wife Jada Pinkett-Smit on Red Table Talk – for a candid conversation about the affair she had admitted to having.

During their talk on the Facebook show, the two openly discussed Jada’s ‘entanglement’ with August Alsina as they even addressed the break in their marriage in 2015. 

In the episode, the Hollywood couple sat opposite each other as they set the record straight and reaffirmed their commitment to each other.

Jada began explaining that the couple met August through their son Jaden, 25, and recalled the singer, who would have been 23 at the time, was ‘really sick’.

Jada said: ‘And it all started with him just needing some help, me wanting to help his health, his mental state. 

‘The outpouring for him from our family was initially about his health,’ she said. ‘We found all those different resources to help pull him through and from there you and I were going through a very difficult time.’ 

Following Jada’s confession Will admitted: ‘I was done with you,’ while Jada added that they decided to separate for a ‘period of time’.

‘And then what did you do, Jada?’ Will asked, urging his wife to keep talking. 

‘As time went on, I got into a different type of entanglement with August,’ Jada explained.

The mother-of-two went on to respond to August’s claim that Will gave her ‘permission’ to have an affair.

‘The only person that can give permission in that circumstance is myself,’ she insisted.

‘But what August was probably trying to communicate because I could see how he could see it as permission because we were separated amicably, and I think he wanted to make it clear he’s not a home wrecker, because he’s not.’

When Will pushed Jada to clarify what she meant by ‘entanglement’ she responded, ‘It was a relationship, absolutely.’ 

As Will made light of the fact that he’s being the dutiful husband and standing by his wife after her ‘transgressions’ amid intense media scrutiny, Jada admitted that she doesn’t see her relationship with August ‘as a transgression at all’.

Jade said: ‘Through that particular journey, I learned so much about myself and was able to really confront a lot of emotional immaturity, emotional insecurity and I was really able to do some really deep healing.

In October, Jada admitted that she decided to stay by Will’s side, the moment he slapped Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards in 2022.

‘I knew it was going to be an intense reaction. And that was the moment that I decided that I was going to stay by his side,’ she said on The One Show. ‘You know, it’s funny how intense situations can amplify love, and it was a pretty difficult time, but it definitely drew us closer. So yeah, it’s, crazy how things work.’

In the explosive memoir, she has revealed how the dynamics of her marriage with famous actor and Will changed after the Oscars.

The pair had secretly separated six years prior to the incident, with Jada confessing: ‘I’m not thinking in a million years he’s getting up on stage and it has anything to do with me!’

Speaking to Red magazine, she added: ‘That’s when your relationship gets deeper than romance or all the c**p that comes with marriage.

‘I was just really concerned about Will. And I realised in that moment that, as challenging as our relationship can be, I’m always going to be by his side, no matter what.’

At the 94th Academy Awards, Will strode onto the stage and slapped Chris after the comedian cracked a joke about Jada looking like ‘G.I. Jane’ because of her bald head when she had recently revealed that was suffering from alopecia.

While she and Will were living separately at the time, Jada explained that they’ve always had each other’s backs, more so now that they’re apart.

PIERS AND HELEN MERCHANT 

Disgraced former Tory MP Piers Merchant, who died in September, 2009, was caught with 17-year-old Soho nightclub ‘hostess’ Anna Cox at the height of the Tory sleaze furore before the 1997 General Election. 

His wife Helen Merchant backed her husband by declaring that he had been a ‘bloody fool’ but that she still loved him – and similarly appeared on the doorstep of the family home and kissed him passionately.

Piers, a committed Thatcherite, was Personal Private Secretary to Social Security Secretary Peter Lilley at the time of the Anna Cox scandal.

He immediately denied that he was having an affair with the Soho hostess claiming: ‘Anna is a dear friend of mine and has been helping my campaign.

‘But there is no question of us having an affair. I have never made love to her.’

He was quoted as saying: ‘That may well be me kissing her in the picture, but I see nothing wrong with that. I am sure my wife will not be the slightest bit concerned.’

Within days of being caught out by the Sun, Piers and his wife appeared on the doorstep of their family home and passionately kissed for the benefit of the assembled Press.

Despite the controversy, he retained his Beckenham seat at the election. 

He claimed that he had been the victim of an elaborate ‘sting’  and claimed that Cox had been recruited by the Sun from a Soho hostess bar.

Until the story broke in the Sun, Anna’s family had not known she was working in a strip club as a £100-a-night hostess.

The girl who had left school with ten GCSEs told them she was a waitress.

‘I’m not old enough to vote  –  but I’m old enough to know when I’ve been used,’ Ms Cox was quoted as saying at the time.

But despite the controversy over the pictures Piers then befriended Ms Cox and hired her as his assistant and began an affair.

He took Ms Cox to the Tory conference in Blackpool that year and they were videoed in another tabloid sting – set up by Merchant’s former colleague Anthony Gilberthorpe.

Gilberthorpe had been paid £25,000 by the Mirror, whose journalists had wired the flat with concealed video recorders to capture the couple’s cavortings.

He also invited the couple to stay in his York flat, secretly filmed them in bed and released that, too.

Pictures from their bedroom romp made the front page of the Sunday Mirror for a further two weeks.

Mrs Merchant still stood by her husband, insisting that Ms Cox was a family friend with whom she was happy for her husband to spend his nights.

But Piers later admitted to the Mail that he had slept with Ms Cox up to two months before the Tory conference.

In a detailed explanation of the affair, Piers told how he had broken the news of his infidelity to his wife in a mobile phone call onboard a packed commuter train.

And he was later forced to apologise for having lied to the public and his party about the affair when confronted.

Piers said: ‘As the story was breaking I made a statement which was deliberately misleading.

‘To counter the allegations, I issued a statement saying categorically: “Piers Merchant and Anna Cox are NOT having an affair.”

‘Strictly speaking, because of the tense, that was true. We were not having an affair – we were sitting at home with my wife and family. I admit it was deceptive. I was trying to be too clever, and I regret that.’

In 2004 Piers was caught out again cheating on his wife with 41-year-old property consultant Caroline Bew in yet another tabloid sting.

Piers quit as an MP 48 hours later under pressure from new Tory leader William Hague.

Ina statement he said: ‘This is entirely my own decision. I have been put under no pressure from anyone else to do this.

‘I have always tried to work as effectively as possible for all my constituents.

‘I have informed my agent and Conservative Association chairman but have not yet had the opportunity to discuss the matter.

‘I hope my quick decision will reduce damage to the local association.’

DAVID AND VICTORIA BECKHAM

In 2004, David Beckham’s former personal assistant Rebecca Loos made shocking claims of a affair with the football star – in the now defunct newspaper, News of the World.

David has always denied the affair, adding that the allegations were ‘ludicrous’.

In a documentary about his family last year, the athlete did not admit any guilty or anything remotely inappropriate but said the stories were ‘horrible’ and left him ‘feeling sick every day’.

At the time he had been living in Spain, playing for Real Madrid, while Victoria was back in the UK looking after their eldest two children.

However, his love with the ex-Spice Girl has stood the test of time, and the pair are now stronger than ever.

The couple were also determined to shake off rumours when allegations of infidelity first surfaced in 2004.

Shortly after the story came out on April 4 of that year, they sported smiles for the cameras as they were spotted stepping out of Claridge’s to celebrate Victoria’s birthday dinner.

The couple put on a united front as they held onto one another and looked into each other’s eyes.

Meanwhile, at their first red carpet after the allegations, Victoria appeared to leave no room for confusion about the couple’s spark as she confidently draped a possessive hand over him, sporting a sultry dress featuring a corset-style bodice.

The pair were all over one another as they showed the world their marriage wasn’t to be rocked by the rumours.

VERNON KAY AND TESS DALY

This show of unity wasn’t littered with loved-up looks or PDA, but still got the message across loud and clear. 

In 2010, Vernon Kay and his wife Tess Daly made their first public appearance together since news of his ‘sex text’ scandal broke as they co-hosted The Prince’s Trust Celebrate Success awards.

Vernon had admitted he made ‘foolish decisions’ after it was revealed he exchanged racy messages via text and Twitter with glamour model Rhian Sugden and four other women.

He publicly apologised to his wife and family via his Radio 1 show.

The timing of the revelations could nothave been worse for Tess, who wasreleasing a book on parenting.

As they co-hosted the awards, Vernon appeared sheepish, hovering behind his wife and stayed stony-faced while she managed a smile for the paparazzi.

In 2020, Vernon claimed he and Tess have ‘moved on’ from his ‘sexting scandal’ ten years ago in an interview with the Mirror.

COCO AND ICE T

This couple’s seemingly unbreakable bond was rocked by a scandal after photos hit the internet showing Coco cuddling up with another man in 2012.

But Ice-T appeared to have forgiven his wife and the pair put on a united front on a Las Vegas outing just weeks later, in some very eager-looking photos.

It seems the performer may have travelled to the Nevada city to be by his wife’s side – and perhaps keep an eye on her – after she was snapped getting cosy with rapper AP.9.

The trouble in paradise appeared to be behind the pair, however, as they enjoyed a workout followed by a shopping trip.

The couple looked like they were getting on great as they shared a giggle while pumping iron in the fitness centre at the Planet Hollywood hotel.

PADDY AND JANE ASHDOWN

In the 90s, famed politician Paddy Ashdown – who passed away in 2018 – was caught in a scandal.

In 1988 he was elected as the first leader of the Liberal Democrats. Yet, while party leader he managed to survive an expose by The Sun, who branded him ‘Paddy Pantsdown’ over a five-month affair he had with his secretary. 

Ashdown had the five-month relationship in 1985 but in 1992 the News of the World discovered the story. He managed to secure an injunction against the paper before handing it to The Sun – who branded him ‘Paddy Pantsdown’. 

Following the scandal, he changed the message on his answering machine to ‘Hello, this is Paddy Ashdown. Please leave a message after the high moral tone.’ 

Shortly after the story broke, Paddy and his wife Jane took to the quinitissential photoshoot outside their London home.

The pair can be seen hugging outside the steps. Paddy later said that were it not for his wife, he would have gotten ‘into all sorts of trouble’.

 

 

Kristin Cavallari’s romance with her new boyfriend Mark Estes is heating up.

The former Laguna Beach star, 37, popped up in a fun video on the 24-year-old model’s joint TikTok, the Montana Boyzalong with his friends on Friday, just three days after she revealed their relationship.

In the short clip, the Montana Boyz — Estes, Kaleb Campbell Winterburn and Kade Wilcox — sync to Jason Aldean’s 2009 hit She’s Country as they appear to introduce Kristin as part of their posse.

Dressed in jeans and a T-shirt that reads “This Ain’t My First Coors Rodeo,” Kristin flashes her megawatt smile before Mark hugs her from behind.

The touching video was viewed more than 1 million times in less than six hours after being posted and was captioned: “Brother, she is country.”

Kristin’s debut on the Montana Boyz page comes after she shared a bikini-filled romp with Mark on his personal TikTok.

Rocking a green two-piece, Kristin jumped into her new boyfriend’s muscular arms as they frolicked along the edge of a pool.

The adorable couple packed on the PDA as Gloriana’s country song (Kissed You) Goodnight played in the background.

The new couple’s warning comes nearly four years after her divorce from former NFL player Jay Cutler, the father of her three children.

Kristin revealed her latest love match on Tuesday, when she shared a photo of herself cozying up with Mark during their getaway in Los Cabos, Mexico.

She captioned the surprising photo: “He makes me happy.”

Originally from Montana, Mark played wide receiver for the Montana State University football team.

Now living in Nashville, he shares the same city with Kristin.

As reported by TMZthe couple has been spending time together for about a month, but their relationship has not yet reached a serious stage.

Insiders revealed to the outlet that Kristin and Mark flew to Mexico together last week, with eyewitnesses noting them openly showing affection during the flight.

Kristin and Jay announced that they were divorcing in April 2020 after seven years of marriage.

The former couple have three children: Camden, 11, Jaxon, nine, and Saylor, eight.

Kristin’s new romance comes after she admitted she wasn’t in a dating mood last year.

“It’s really not important to me right now,” she said E! News in September 2023. “It just doesn’t depend on where I am in my life,” she added.

“I’m a mother first,” she continued.

“And I’ve had a lot of fun over the last few years, really focusing on my friends and being able to hang out with my friends again because I haven’t been able to do that for a long time.”

Kristin rose to fame in 2004 with her role as a high school student in MTV’s Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.

After this, she starred in projects such as CSI: NY, Spring Breakdown and The League.

From 2018 to 2020, Kristin presented her Uncommon James line in her own reality show Very Cavallari.

Kelly Rizzo and boyfriend Breckin Meyer were spotted publicly kissing for the first time in Mexico this weekend – two years after the death of her late husband, comedian Bob Saget.

The couple, who debuted their romance at a Grammys party, were wedding guests at a friend’s wedding in Puerto Vallarta.

Kelly, 44, showed off her fit figure in a strapless blue periwinkle dress as she packed on the PDA with Breckin, 49, known for his roles in hit ’90s films Clueless and The Craft.

Her long, dark blonde hair was styled in loose curls and she wore natural-looking makeup.

Breckin looked handsome in a dark blue suit with a white shirt and a navy blue tie.

His salt and pepper hair and beard were neatly styled for the occasion.

It is unknown when the couple met, or when they started dating.

The couple has tried to keep their budding relationship quiet, but being in the presence of friends, they seemed comfortable expressing their affection for each other.

Kelly lost her husband, comedian and actor Bob Saget, in January 2022, after the actor fell and suffered head trauma in his Orlando hotel room.

She and the Full House star were together for three years before getting married in 2018.

On January 9, she marked the second anniversary of the Fuller House star’s death by writing “2 years.” Wow. It feels like a week and an eternity at the same time.’

“I will be forever grateful that I had the opportunity to share life with this special person for six years.”

The Eat, Travel, Rock founder told us E! News she got the blessing of her late husband’s daughters to start dating again.

“It took a while, to the point where I was like, ‘Okay, I think he’d be happy with it.’

Referring to the support she received from stepdaughters Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer, she said: “They’re just angels. And it is so meaningful that they are supported.”

Breckin was married to Surviving Christmas author Deborah Kaplan from 2001 to 2012.

They share two daughters, Clover, 19, and Caitlyn, 21.

The actor has several upcoming projects, including the Apple TV comedy Quarter with Eric Roberts and Brooke Shields.

The show focuses on a woman about to turn 25 as she deals with the ups and downs of her Type 1 diabetes, while figuring out the ups and downs of her personal life.

Kelly entered the world of reality TV when she competed on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test on Fox.

She competed in four episodes before voluntarily withdrawing from the grueling competition.

Rory Culkin And Katelin Arizmendi brought the PDA to the red carpet at the 2024 Independent Spirit Awards.

While attending the awards ceremony on Sunday, February 25, in Santa Monica, California, the couple matched in all-black ensembles. Culkin, 34, wore a black blazer with a sheer black button-up shirt and black pants. Arizmendi, for her part, wore a black top and shorts with fishnet tights and patent leather heels, pairing the look with a form-fitting black hat.

“Bringing a lil clowncore to spirit awards,” Arizmendi wrote via Instagram Story on Sunday alongside a selfie. She also shared a photo of Culkin staring out a window and wrote: “My perfect bimbo daddy.”

In another snap, Arizmendi sat on Culkin’s lap as the two smiled softly at the camera. “I’m just a giant baby,” she wrote on her Instagram Story.

Arizmendi received a nomination for Best Cinematography for Monica during the 39th annual awards ceremony. (The trophy went to Eigil Bryld for The survivors.)

The couple made their relationship Instagram officially in November 2023, when Arizmendi shared several photos of Culkin, including one of the couple sharing a sweet hug. “Grateful to be so in love with you,” she captioned the post.

Prior to his relationship with Arizemendi, Culkin married a cameraman Sarah Writer in 2018, but they have since stopped making them.

Ellie Goulding was seen packing on the PDA with surfing instructor Armando Perez during a holiday to Costa Rica this week.

The singer, 37, frolicked on the beach, sharing kisses and cuddles with the sun-kissed hunk, proving her four-year marriage to her husband Caspar Jopling, 31, was over following months of speculation. 

In a statement released on Friday, Ellie and the art dealer finally addressed their split with friends of the couple telling MailOnline she had ‘moved on some time ago.’

Armando and his brother Gero run the $70-a-night La Puente Surfhouse and hostel on the west coast and promised the star she would ride his ‘wave of the day’ during lessons starting at $50. 

Ellie appeared to be embracing the next chapter as she splashed about in the sea with the surfer and her friends. 

The trip to Costa Rica is her second this year, Ellie is believed to have met her new love interest during a previous holiday back in January.

The sun-kissed surf instructor seen canoodling with Ellie is known as Tio to his friends and promises to be a patient teacher and help students to ‘read the sea’ as long as they are ‘patient’ and ‘respect its power’.

He has surfed the same stretch of the Pacific Ocean since he was a child after his parents moved to the resort of Playa Hermosa, close to the border with Nicaragua.

‘I have been surfing since I was a child. The waves of Playa Hermosa are my home and I am a very good host’, he wrote on his website.

And as well as being a master of his craft, including his signature ‘backside attack’ move, the handsome instructor is a major hit with his pupils.

Pictured without her wedding ring, Ellie was seen as Armando wrapped his arms around her waist as they kissed in the sea. 

In June, the Costa Rican surfer took Shakira for a lesson while the hitmaker was on holiday in his home country. 

Ellie and her art dealer ex Caspar were reportedly living separate lives for at least six months, despite trying to work things out for the sake of their son Arthur, two. 

The couple are now expected to divorce after confirming their four year marriage is over after exhausting all possibilities, MailOnline can reveal.

In a statement, the musician wrote: ‘In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago.

‘We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our sons best interests at heart. We are committed to protecting our family privacy and thank people in advance for respecting our wishes – we won’t be commenting further. Thank you.’

Friends of the couple told MailOnline ‘divorce is the only outcome’ following their split after two years battling to save their relationship.

Sources close to Ellie have told how it isn’t the ideal ending for her but it is the ‘only one’ after exhausting all possibilities with Caspar.

A pal said: ‘Ellie and Caspar have been over for some time now but there was this whole carry on of them pretending to be together.

‘The fact is that it is over, Ellie moved on some time ago but she didn’t want anyone to know.’

They continued: ‘But now she is enjoying the company of other men and there is simply no way back.

‘It is so sad, especially because they have got little Arthur but they can’t make it work and now it, really sadly, is going to end in divorce. There is no way that the marriage can be saved, the only way it is going to end now is by divorcing.

‘It wasn’t necessarily the outcome they have always wanted but that’s where they are, Ellie is ready to date other men if he isn’t already, Caspar surely will be back out on the market again soon.’

The exes were last seen together in October during a family day out, after the musician ended her friendship with Tory peer Zac Goldsmith to ‘focus on her marriage.’

Ellie and Caspar married in August 2019 at York Minster with A-list guests including Sienna Miller, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry. 

Their split was first rumoured in June 2023, when sources claimed they were ‘living apart’. 

After weeks of discussions about how they would reveal their separation, the pop star’s team finally revealed they had been spending time apart – blaming their ‘hectic schedules’ for the demise of their marriage. 

That same month Ellie was seen without her wedding and engagement ring when she attended the Serpentine Summer Party with Caspar. The pair were pictured looking glum.

In October, Ellie called off her increasingly close friendship with Tory peer Zac, 48, after the pair were spotted together on numerous occasions.

The pair had developed a relationship over their shared passion for tackling climate change and they grew close following the breakdown of Lord Goldsmith’s marriage to his second wife, Alice Rothschild, after ten tears.

The friendship had been described as an unlikely one as Lord Goldsmith is the Eton-educated son of late billionaire financier Sir James Goldsmith, while Ellie grew up on a council estate in Herefordshire.

However, the singer has made many friends in high society, including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie who were guests at her star-studded wedding to Mr Jopling at York Minster in 2019.

Lord Goldsmith was previously married to fellow environmentalist Sheherazade Bentley but they split in 2010. He resigned as a minister in June after accusing Rishi Sunak of being ‘uninterested’ in the environment.

Ellie and Lord Goldsmith first met at the COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow in November 2021.

Seven months later they were spotted enjoying a lunch together at upmarket café The Garden in Covent Garden and were later seen at The Wolseley restaurant in Mayfair.

In October 2022 they were at the same party at the exclusive London members’ club 5 Hertford Street and just weeks later they were reunited for the next climate change summit, COP27, in Egypt.

But the Daily Mail later revealed that Ellie had chosen to stop spending time with Zac to focus on saving her marriage.

Taylor Swift went from being ultra private in her relationship with Joe Alwyn to flaunting her passionate PDA with Travis Kelce practically everywhere – and now, relationship experts have revealed why the sudden 180 may be a sign that she and the athlete are the real deal.

Ever since the singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 34, started dating in September, they’ve been extremely open about their romance.

Taylor was spotted cheering Travis on at many of his football games, hanging out with his family, wearing his merch, running onto the field to kiss him following his team’s wins, uttering the L-word to him on camera, and most recently, sharing a video with him on her TikTok account.

It’s certainly a stark contrast to the way that the Cruel Summer songstress acted in her previous romance with British actor Joe, 32.

Over the course of their six-year relationship, the hitmaker and the movie star hardly ever talked about one another in interviews and did their best to hide from cameras when they were out together – and they certainly never shared social media posts with each other.

Due to the very different approaches, some have wondered if Taylor and Travis constantly flaunting their love for the entire world to see is a red flag – but according to a series of love gurus, the two stars’ public affection may actually act as proof that their relationship is stronger than ever.

New York-based dating coach Megan Weks told DailyMail.com exclusively that the couple’s incessant PDA makes it ‘clear’ just how ‘comfortable’ Taylor and Travis feel with one another.

She added that it seemed like the pop sensation could really ‘be herself’ around him – something that was ‘stunted in previous relationships.’

‘Taylor is definitely not overcompensating by being public with Travis. What she’s doing is being herself, something which felt stunted in previous relationships,’ Megan dished. 

‘She’s never felt so supported and liberated to be exactly who she is within a relationship, and it shows. 

‘She’s shining, she’s vulnerable, she can melt into this relationship, she can lean on him. She has someone to call and share the intimacies of public life with, and he’s here for all of it.

‘In Taylor’s TikTok shared with Travis in it, you can clearly see how comfortable they both are, and how genuine and funny they can be together. 

‘People are analyzing, and picking things apart because these two are superstars – that’s it. They aren’t part of a “PSYOP” to sway an election, or anything else – they are in love.’

Thalia Ouimet, a VIP matchmaker and author from New York, shared a similar sentiment.

She said it was obvious how ‘secure’ Travis made Taylor feel, and that it didn’t seem like they’re ‘showing off’ at all, but rather, just so ‘in love’ that they couldn’t help it. 

‘As a matchmaker and dating coach, I see this relationship being so public because Taylor is confident in her relationship and Travis makes her feel secure,’ she told DailyMail.com. 

‘She isn’t at all showing off, in fact she just [seems] in love. We all know that feeling of thinking we found “the one” and wanting to share it with the world. 

‘Taylor is experiencing a very public relationship and coming out on top. They are both secure and family-oriented and want the same things. Only time will tell if this love will be forever.’

Relationship expert Brock Olsen, who hails from Chattanooga, Tennessee, suggested that Taylor and Travis’s over-the-top affection seems like a ‘conscious effort’ on her part to ‘make sure’ that she’s ‘controlling the narrative.’

‘[It seems like she’s making] a conscious effort and consistent decision to make sure that whenever her and Travis are seen together that they are controlling the narrative and putting on a positive display of the relationship,’ he explained. 

‘Being a professional athlete with the type of fan base that he has, guarding and maintaining a reputation is of the utmost importance in terms of marketability, which is something Taylor understands quite well. 

‘So since neither one of them are able to hide the relationship, they are both fully committed to leaning into it and showing what positive PDA and what a healthy relationship should look like.

‘They are both running with it. It’s basically David and Victoria Beckham 2.0 and I think we’re all here for it.’

Betsy Chung, a clinical psychologist who ‘specializes in helping people achieve and maintain healthy relationships,’ pointed out that sometimes, when people start showcasing their love everywhere, it could be to ‘make another person jealous.’

But she added that the change in Taylor’s behavior could have to do with ‘the dynamics of the relationship’ or ‘the preferences of the other partner.’

‘Or maybe she wanted to see what it’s like to approach a relationship differently,’ she theorized.

‘Sometimes we might show more PDA because we can’t keep our hands to ourselves, while other times we might show more PDA to make another person jealous.

‘There are many different reasons, we might approach relationships differently, but the most important is that both partners are on board.

‘And [there’s] nothing wrong with wanting to bask in the spotlight of being the proud girlfriend of a major athlete.’ 

Taylor and Joe first crossed paths at the 2016 Met Gala, but due to their extreme secrecy, it’s unclear when they officially start dating.

It wasn’t until more than a year after their meeting that they were photographed together for the first time in 2017 in Nashville, Tennessee. 

The couple went to great lengths to keep their relationship out of the public eye during the six years they were together – and they would even sometimes don disguises to make outings together undetected, according to US Weekly. 

In October 2018, Joe spoke about it to British Vogue, explaining, ‘I’m aware people want to know about that side of things. I think we have been successfully private.’

Taylor also revealed in 2020 that she was drawn to Joe because of the sense of much-needed normalcy and steadiness that he brought to her life. 

‘I cannot control if there are 20 photographers outside in the bushes and what they do and if they follow our car and if they interrupt our lives,’ she said.

‘I can’t control if there’s going to be a fake weird headline about us in the news tomorrow.

‘I think that in knowing him and being in the relationship I am in now, I have definitely made decisions that have made my life feel more like a real life and less like just a storyline to be commented on in tabloids. 

‘Whether that’s deciding where to live, who to hang out with, when to not take a picture – the idea of privacy feels so strange to try to explain, but it’s really just trying to find bits of normalcy.’

News hit the web in April 2023 that she and Joe had split. She was then linked to Travis in September following a brief stint with The 1975 singer Matty Healy.

Her song You’re Losing Me, from the Late Night Edition of Midnights, is about realising a relationship is unhealthy and trying to save it, and many fans have theorised it was inspired by the end of Taylor’s relationship with Joe.

She performed the song live for the first time at her Melbourne concert on Friday, leaving the sold-out crowd at the MCG spellbound.

Since getting together, Taylor and Travis have not shied away from the public eye when it comes to sharing the intimate details of their romance. 

He has revealed everything from the adorable story of how they met – he tried to give her a bracelet with his number on it at one of her shows, and when that failed a mutual friend helped get them in contact – to what really goes on during their dates.

They’ve also packed on the PDA numerous times on camera. Most recently, they were seen getting intimate during an after party following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win against the San Francisco 49ers.

The couple were caught dancing romantically, serenading each other, and smooching after her song Love Story came on during the bash.

In the years before she dated Joe, Taylor was linked to many other big stars like Joe Jonas, Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, Calvin Harris, and Tom Hiddleston. 

And while she certainly wasn’t as public with them as she has been with Travis, the singer didn’t try to hide her past lovers like she did with actor Joe either.

Kerry Katona showed off her impressive fourth weight loss in a skimpy white bikini on Wednesday as she enjoyed a romantic holiday with her fiancé Ryan Mahoney in Spain.

The former Atomic Kitten singer, 43, and her fitness coach boyfriend Ryan have been dating for five years and got engaged in 2021.

And the duo looked stronger than ever and couldn't keep their hands off each other as they shared several kisses around the pool.

Ryan and Kerry packed on the PDA when they spotted him in the sun as they grabbed Kerry's tight bum.

Kerry looked stylish in her elegant white beachwear as she donned a light blue and white two-piece suit.

She protected her head with a trendy straw beach hat and covered her shoulders with an oversized white shirt.

Ryan showed off his toned physique and tattooed skin as he donned a pair of vibrant, multi-colored swim shorts.

Kerry looked happier than ever in her swimwear after dropping several stones in recent months.

She has adopted a new diet and exercise routine and previously told how she went from a size 16 to a size 8 in just one year, which has also boosted her mental health.

Now weighing a healthy 3.5kg, Kerry incorporates yoga, strength training and cardio training into her daily routine.

Despite previous struggles with yo-yo dieting, Kerry has now taken a balanced approach, combining calorie counting with exercise.

Writing in her OK! magazine column on Monday she said: 'I can't believe how much weight I've lost now – I'm a size 6-8.

“I've been really doing a great job with my training every day and putting a lot of effort into it, so I'm glad it's paying off.”

The holidays come as Kerry is reportedly delving into the world of acting after starring in the romantic comedy Finding Forever.

After battling bankruptcy in the past, the TV personality has made millions from racy posts on OnlyFans, and is now 'training her bum' to get in shape for the role.

Kerry shares two daughters Molly, 21, and Lilly, 20, with her ex-husband Brian McFadden.

She married second husband Mark Croft in 2007 and separated in 2011. The exes share daughter Heidi, 16, and son Maxwell, 15.

She was married to the late George Kay from 2014 to 2017 and they had daughter Dylan-Jorge, nine.

Selena Gomez feels completely in love with her boyfriend Benny Blanco.

“My bes fwend,” Gomez, 31, wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 12, alongside a slideshow of the couple.

In the first photo, Gomez and Blanco, 35, are relaxing at home. While they were in the kitchen, the record producer prepared their meal. Gomez rested her head on Blanco's shoulder and had an arm on his shoulder as they smiled at the camera. The duo rocked loungewear as they enjoyed their day at home.

Gomez also shared a series of snaps from a night out with Blanco. The couple wore complementary outfits for the occasion as Gomez dazzled in a cream dress and black jacket, while Blanco wore a beige suit. In the first shot, the musician had his arm wrapped around Gomez and his hand on her chest. He lovingly placed a kiss on her shoulder.

The next photo showed the pair with funny faces. Gomez had her eyes closed and her tongue sticking out as she rested her head on Blanco's chest. Blanco had one arm wrapped around Gomez while the other was extended with his phone in his hand. Blanco had his eyes closed and his lips pursed as he showed off his side profile.

The last photo was a casual selfie that Gomez took, but with her face turned away from the camera as she looked back at Blanco. Blanco had his face close to Gomez's as he seemingly whispered in her ear.

Gomez revealed in December 2023 that she and Blanco had been secretly dating for six months.

“He is absolutely my everything in my heart,” she wrote in an Instagram comment at the time. “He [has] the best thing that ever happened to me. The end. … He's still better than anyone I've been with. Facts.”

Before becoming romantically linked, Blanco and Gomez were friends and collaborated on several songs. After Gomez went public with her relationship with Blanco, she no longer had plans to keep their romance under the radar.

“They kept it quiet [at first]but Benny has passed every test with flying colors,” a source said exclusively We weekly in January. “The New Year seemed like a perfect time to basically scream [their love] from the rooftops, so that's what Selena does.”

That same month, Blanco and Gomez made their first public appearance as an item when they attended a Los Angeles Laker game together in January. They were photographed getting cozy and were caught giggling and laughing on the arena's Jumbotron. Later that month, Gomez took Blanco as her date to the Golden Globes.
