The search is on for an American Airlines flight crew member who went missing during a night out on the town in Colombia. The 32-year-old was last spotted leaving a club with two unknown men, who were all on their way to grab drinks at another location.

Now, experts fear that Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina may be the victim of "Devil's Breath," a drug that is used to take advantage of tourists and unsuspecting victims. Here's what we know.

Authorities Are on the Hunt for Missing American Airlines Employee

What should've been a quick layover is turning into a nightmare for American Airline employees who say they haven't seen their co-worker since Mar. 22. Sharom Gil, a friend of Molina's, told Telemedellín that Molina and another co-worker decided to hit the town and visit some night clubs. The two linked up with strangers at one club, and decided that they would all "take the party to another place" after the bar closed.

However, Molina hasn't been seen since, and now Gil fears that something has happened to his friend, so he's reached out to the authorities for help. Now, it's feared that Molina may have fallen victim to a common scam in the region, where people look for wealthy men to take advantage of, giving them the drug scopolamine—which is also known as Devil's Breath or "Zombie Drug"—as part of the shakedown.

What Is Scopolamine

According to the Cleveland Clinic, Scopolamine is a medication that is commonly used to treat conditions like Parkinson's disease, irritable bowl syndrome, and motion sickness. However, the drug can cause strong side effects when combined with alcohol, which include:

• Drowsiness
• Dizziness
• Blurred ivsion
• Fainting spells
• Memory loss

According to Aviation A2Z, some criminals in Columbia use the drug to abduct people, mixing int into people's drinks at bars and clubs without their knowledge, and then convincing them to move to another location where they can be robbed or assaulted. Aviation A2Z says that there are an estimated 50,000 instances of Devil's Breath being used this way in Colombia each year, which is why some think that Molina may have fallen victim.

While the drug has been known to keep a person unconscious for up to 24 hours, in some cases it can cause raspatory distress which can lead to death, highlighting the urgency of this missing person's case.

How to Stay Safe from Devil's Breath When Traveling

Unfortunately, knowing how common this scam is, it's best to take extra precautions when traveling to the region. That includes never accepting a drink from a stranger, and making sure you never leave your beverage unattended.

Of course, it's also important to stay aware of your surroundings when traveling, especially to places that have travel advisories, like the Level 3 - Reconsider Travel status that certain regions of Columbia have been placed under by the U.S. Department of State. Still, I hope that Molina is found safely and that all of this has just been one big misunderstanding.

John Merrill introduced himself to Theresa DeMaria, saying people told him he looks like Prince Harry on Age of Attraction. John is 27 and immediately found her hot. Theresa is 54, previously married twice, and has three adult children.

She was insecure about what others would think throughout the season. The pair decided if they would continue their relationship in the finale. This is what we know about they did after filming.

Theresa and John decided to continue dating. The season reportedly ended in April. Theresa posted a montage of her time in Chicago on her Haute Happenings Instagram page that month. The mother lives in Illinois.

She later went to Europe and posted about it in October. Theresa is active on TikTok. She revealed she had surgery in January to get a cyst removed from her kidney.

John returned to Instagram in July with a post suspiciously tagged with a French song. He later posted himself in Spain and Italy in August. It seems like he was back home in Miami modeling by October. The rest of his posts take place in Florida until he started to promote the show.

Update 3/26/2026: Theresa confirmed with Entertainment Tonight that she's no longer in a relationship with John.

The trailer for the reunion reveals Theresa's insecurity might've continued after filming.

John said he was uncomfortable with airing things out. "That's why we're here," Theresa responded.

"I don't deserve to date someone who text me, 'I feel disgusting with you,'" John said. Theresa later denies saying something. The trailer ends with Theresa saying, "You want to air out our dirty laundry. Let's do it."

The reunion will be on the podcast, The Viall Files and will premiere on April 1. Nick Viall and Natalie Joy will host the event.

I've heard plenty of wild stories from bachelor and bachelorette parties, but usually they involve the antics that people get up to while on their trip. However, one woman has a doozy of a tale about her sister's bachelorette party, and it has to do with what she says prevented her from boarding the American Airlines flight that was supposed to take her to New Orleans.

That's because she says she was allegedly prohibited from boarding her flight after a case of mistaken identity had her confused with a woman who had previously gotten drunk on an American flight and then got caught having sex with a man while in the air. Only, this TikToker says that she's a lesbian, which means there is a zero percent chance that she ever would've done something like this... drunk or not! Here's what she says happened.

♬ original sound - Erin Wright A Woman Says American Airlines Banned Her After Mistaking Her for Someone Else

A TikToker came home from a planned trip with a story to tell, after she says that she learned she had been banned from flying American Airlines when she showed up at the airport to board her flight.

The trouble started when the OP says that she was unable to check in on the airline's website ahead of her flight. Thinking that it was odd, since she already booked her flight, she headed to the airport and tried to check in on the kiosks, only to discover that she was getting an error message every time she tried. After asking for help from a staffer who also got the same alert, the OP learned that she had been banned from flying on the airline, and the only way to find out why is to send an email to the airline's customer relations department.

"So, I realize that I'm going to miss my flight, so I quickly book another flight," she recalled, sharing how the new flight set her back $1,400 and stole eight hours from her trip. While she waited, she sent several emails to the person she was told to reach out to, but the OP says she didn't hear anything back until well after she had returned from the trip, which is when she learned that she had received a lifetime ban after getting drunk and having sexual relations with a man on a previous flight. The kicker, of course, is that the OP is a very out and proud lesbian. "Let me tell you, I am a 24-year-old lesbian, do you see me having sexual relations with any man? No!"

However, weeks after learning about what had happened, the OP was still fighting with the airline to get off its no-fly list, and was even instructed to send in a letter of explanation about the situation. While she says that after several months of back-and-forth she was able to get off the no fly list, she was only ever allegedly reimbursed $400 by the airline.

The Traveler Shared an Update After Her Story Went Viral

Right after the OP posted her story, it went extremely viral, which she said allowed her to recoup the extra money she had to spend to get a new ticket after the alleged case of mistaken identity had her banned from her original flight.

"Good for you. Definitely reach out to US DOT and CC: American Airlines. That part is critical. They hate being reported to DOT," one person wrote.

A few other people shared similar advice, with many saying they wouldn't fly the airline again until they made it up to the OP. However, there was one person who shared a similar case of mistaken identity with a different airline, perhaps hinting at a bigger issue. "My friend got put on the no fly list for Frontier, for his behavior on the flight, two days before his flight," they wrote.

Wow, while I am absolutely stunned by this story, I love the way the OP's followers supported her through the entire ordeal while also giving her the additional views she needed to get financial restitution, even if if it did come from TikTok and not the airline. However, after hearing this story and others like it, I can't help but wonder how often this happens to travelers and whether all of their stories are as wild as this one!

There’s a quiet kind of horror that doesn’t scream—it lingers. Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen builds that feeling from its very first frame, pulling you into a world that feels both familiar and deeply unsettling. It’s not just about what’s happening on the surface with Rachel Harkin (played by Camila Morrone), but what’s slowly unraveling underneath—inside a relationship, inside a family, and most importantly, inside the mind of its central character. Created by Haley Z. Boston and backed by the visionary minds behind Stranger Things, the series chooses patience over shock, letting tension grow in ways that feel almost too real.

In this exclusive conversation with Parade Magazine, Boston opens up about crafting that suffocating tone, exploring the fragile space between love and doubt, and why sometimes the scariest thing isn’t the unknown—it’s the realization that the fear might be coming from within.

From the very first frame, the series establishes an unsettling, almost suffocating atmosphere. Could you walk me through your approach to building that tonal language—especially how you balanced visual dread with emotional intimacy without over-explaining the stakes?

Haley Z. Boston: That was a huge conversation I had with Veronica, our cinematographer. We talked a lot about building frames where we're looking at something in the distance that we can’t quite see. You see that in the pilot—with the witness, the bar, the dog, the hallway, and even Rachel walking down the hall. We also discussed establishing these long, winding, dark hallways, along with those very unsettling shots of people looking almost directly into the camera. All of that came from wanting to stay in Rachel’s perspective and really make the audience feel like they understand the journey she’s on.

There are already a lot of unsettling elements in the story—like seeing the baby in the car at the rest stop—and from there, it became about figuring out how to maintain Rachel’s POV throughout. You’ll notice there are many shots where we actually see what she’s seeing—we’re fully in her perspective. And yeah, that was a huge piece for us.

Marriage is a central theme here, but it’s portrayed through a lens of sacrifice and quiet dread. Were you intentionally deconstructing the traditional idea of marriage as a “safe” institution? There’s a fascinating tension between love and obligation throughout the series. Do you see Rachel’s journey as one of emotional imprisonment, or is there a form of agency hidden within her choices?

Haley Z. Boston: I think, from a very grounded perspective, if you were to strip out the horror, it really is just a story about a woman who is doubting her relationship. It’s a grounded experience of meeting his family for the first time and going through these wedding traditions. I’m inspired by films like Carrie and Rosemary’s Baby, where it’s about a woman going through a major life change. There are so many emotions connected to that. Obviously, it’s a positive thing to have a baby or to get married, but there’s also a lot of complexity within those experiences. So, it was really about finding the emotional truth behind what she’s going through. And she brings so much anxiety to it. I think it will be relatable to people, even though it’s a horror show.

The idea of “something very bad” is teased but not immediately defined. How important was it for you to keep that sense of impending doom abstract rather than concrete?

Haley Z. Boston: I mean, it’s hard in horror TV to sustain the horror because, once you reveal what the monster is, it’s no longer scary. So a lot of that came from trying to keep the audience guessing, keeping them invested in the story, and not giving away too much. And, you know, there’s a twist halfway through. We talked a lot about Rachel feeling like the threat was coming from an outside force, and then realizing that it’s actually coming from within. I think that mirrors what she’s going through—she believes the family is a threat, that something is wrong with them. And then she realizes, like, oh, this is my problem. I need to sort out my doubt and figure out if I’m making the right decision.

Now, you have mentioned previously that the story initially focused on Portia, but then you changed it and focused on Rachel. So how and why did that change happen?

Haley Z. Boston: The story was always about Rachel, but it was Portia’s wedding. In that version, Rachel was engaged to Nikki and attending the wedding as a guest. And then, because of Victoria’s illness—which you find out about at the end of episode two—she was still going to end up getting married by the end of the season. So that was a way to put a lot of unexpected pressure on her. But as we developed the idea further, it became more streamlined—and maybe a little more accessible—to have it be Rachel’s wedding from the beginning.

The pacing of Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen is slow but deeply immersive. In an era of fast storytelling, what made you commit to this deliberate rhythm, and were you ever concerned about audience expectations?

Haley Z. Boston: I think the fact that we have so many red herrings in the first couple of episodes—I was definitely considering that the audience is watching a story unfold that doesn’t end up being anything like how it begins. And of course, that’s really exciting as a filmmaker. But I also understand that if you’re expecting, like, an evil family show, that’s not actually what it is. And that made it challenging to market, because we’re kind of hiding a lot of what the story is really about. So we leaned into the concept of fear of commitment and made sure that remained the core of the story—the thing we were telling the entire time.

One of the most important aspects of the series is its characters and the cast bringing them to life—especially Camilla Morrone and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Could you talk about your experience working with them, and also walk us through the casting process for the show?

Haley Z. Boston: For the leads and the siblings, we auditioned everyone, and it was a really great process. We found Camila and Adam [DiMarco] first, and then sort of built the rest of the cast around them. The two of them are just so natural, and that was really important to me because the situation they’re in is so absurd. I wanted to make sure the audience could follow them and relate to them, so they feel very grounded. And I think the family—Jules, Nell, and Portia—bring a bit of fun and strangeness, but they’re also emotionally grounded characters. They kind of shine a light on a lot of things Rachel is dealing with.

Then Jennifer Jason Leigh—of course, she’s an icon. I met with her and instantly felt like she got it. She even told me that being buried alive seemed nice, and I was like, "Cool, I think we’re on the same page." She really elevated the character, and her performance in the show is incredible.

What was your experience like working with the Duffer Brothers on the series? In what ways did their involvement influence or elevate your vision as you brought the story from page to screen?

Haley Z. Boston: The Duffers are fantastic producers and mentors, and their role was really to support me and my vision—what I wanted to do with the show. They took a step back from the creative side and focused on empowering me, while also teaching me about showrunning. I’d never edited before, and I got the chance to sit in the edit with them, watch them work on Stranger Things, and learn a lot from their expertise. But overall, they were there to support me and make sure I got to create the show I wanted to make.

There’s a recurring sense that characters are trapped—not just physically, but emotionally and generationally. Would you say the show is ultimately about inevitability, or is there room for breaking those cycles?

Haley Z. Boston: I do think there's room for breaking the cycles, and that's how, you know, Rachel ends up choosing her own destiny, and she goes from having all this doubt to taking the leap of faith and deciding to believe in Nicky. I think that's actually very romantic. I think you hear the title of the show and it's a horror show, and you think maybe it's cynical, or maybe it's anti-romance, but I really don't think so. I think it's just about trying to figure out who the right person is for you. And that means looking inward and, you know, understanding yourself and making the right decision for yourself.

Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing, going on eight weeks after the abduction from her Tucson, Ariz., home—and the Today co-anchor just revealed the heartbreaking way her kids are coping with their grandmother's kidnapping.

During an interview that aired on Today on March 26, Savannah sat down with her friend and colleague, Hoda Kotb, to discuss her 84-year-old mother’s case for the first time since Nancy went missing on Feb. 1.

At one point in the interview, Kotb asked how Savannah's two children, Vale, 11 and Charley, 9— whom she shares with her husband, Michael Feldman—are doing as Nancy's case nears eight weeks.

"It's so hard with kids because you want to protect them," Savannah said. "Vale would write me all the time, 'Mama, any leads? Did you hear anything? Any hope?'"

The NBC morning show journalist continued, ""I think that we try to talk and try to give them a little more certainty than we have to let them grieve."

Additionally, Savannah acknowledged that her sister, Annie Guthrie, brother-in-law, Tomasso Cioni, and their son, Olmo—who also live in Tucson and saw Nancy on a regular basis—are also feeling the absence of the Guthrie family matriarch in their lives.

"They were there every day for my mom," she told Kotb. "They made it possible for her to stay in the house we grew up in, that she loves so much. I think she always stayed in that house because I think she still felt my father there, all our memories."

She added, "This is just even more excruciating for them, and all that they've been through."

Nancy was last seen at her home on the evening of Jan. 31, with the Pima County Sheriff's Department launching its search on Feb. 1. As of writing, no suspect has been named as the PCSD and the FBI continue their investigation.

Bruce Willis's mother, Marlene Willis, has a special weekend hobby that's earned her recognition from the LAPD. The 90-year-old has been volunteering her weekday afternoons for the past 22 years doing a special task for the police force.

According to NBC Los Angeles, not many realize that Marlene is the famed Hollywood A-lister's mother. Known as "Mrs. Willis" among those at the West Los Angeles station, she has spent her Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays afternoons checking grammar and adding notes to police reports. The LAPD chief calls her a hidden asset to the force.

"I think she means the very best of people that are individuals who believe in the work that our men and women do," former LAPD Chief Michel Moore told NBC Los Angeles.

Some officers at the station claim they wouldn't know what to do without her, even going as far as giving them a hug after returning from difficult incidents. Mrs. Willis says, "I want to help so much, so much. You have no idea. You cannot imagine how much I want to help."

Cpt. Rich Gabaldo calls Mrs. Willis a true "icon" and an "integral" part of the police force. For her dedicated volunteer work, she has been recognized as the LAPD volunteer of the year, with then-Chief Moore giving her an even higher honor.

"While I can't make her a cop, I can at least give her the greatest symbol of what it means to be a cop. And that is a badge of the law center police department," Moore said.

Moore went on to say in his message to Mrs. Willis that there are certain people in their lives that "leave a lasting impression," and she had "risen to the top of one of the best impressions." Despite being the mother of one of Hollywood's biggest stars, no one would be the wiser.

They reveal that Mrs. Willis doesn't mention her son while at the station or makes it largely known. The only giveaway is her screensaver featuring a photo of her actor son giving her a hug. It was an aspect of her character that "impressed" Moore when meeting her.

"This is my family," Mrs. Willis said about the LAPD. "I mean that 100%."

Derek Jeter is one of the most successful baseball players to have ever played in the MLB. But during his time with the New York Yankees, he was also known for being one of the most eligible—and sought-after—bachelors around. As such, Derek Jeter’s girlfriend lineup is filled with beautiful and interesting women.

The former Yankee is currently happily married with children—but it was quite a journey to get there. From high-profile relationships to high-profile breakups, Jeter went through them all in the public eye. However, as he has been off the market for some time now, you may not remember some of the exes Jeter left in his wake.

Here is everything you want to know about Derek Jeter’s girlfriends and dating history.

How many girlfriends did Derek Jeter have?

We cannot know for sure the exact number of women that Jeter has dated in his life—that information is probably known by the former shortstop alone. But considering he was drafted by the Yankees straight out of high school, we probably do know a good number of the women Jeter has been linked to in his lifetime. However, whether they were all relationship-official is not known.

Who are Derek Jeter's ex-girlfriends?

During his time in the singles market, Jeter dated a variety of famous women. The women he dated tended to be actresses, models and other women in the public eye. They also tended to be young and traditionally beautiful by societal standards.

Did Derek Jeter date JLo?

It would appear that Derek Jeter and Jennifer Lopez have never been romantically linked, at least not publicly anyway. However, Lopez did have a long-term relationship with Jeter’s former teammate and longtime rival Alex Rodriguez, lasting from 2017 to 2021—the pair even got engaged in 2019 before calling it quits two years later.

Did Derek Jeter date Madonna?

Derek Jeter does not appear to have dated Madonna (to our knowledge). However, like Lopez, the Material Girl also has been linked to Jeter’s former teammate Alex Rodriguez, but in a much more scandalous way, as they were both married to other people when rumors about their relationship first surfaced.

Did Derek Jeter date Jessica Biel?

Now, this is one relationship that appears to have some credence to it. Derek Jeter and Jessica Biel are said to have dated from November 2006 to January 2007. The pair was spotted out together several times after Biel and former boyfriend Chris Evans broke up in 2006. However, the relationship does not appear to have lasted long and Biel moved on to now-husband Justin Timberlake.

Did Derek Jeter and Jessica Alba date?

It appears Jeter was trying to be the envy of many people’s dreams by dating both of the sought-after Jessicas of the time. Derek Jeter is rumored to have had a romantic fling with Jessica Alba in July of 2004. However, it is important to note that there is no hard evidence of this relationship, as the two have never confirmed it and were never publicly seen together.

Did Derek Jeter date Mariah Carey?

This here is a bona fide confirmed relationship! Derek Jeter and Mariah Carey did date for about a year, from around 1997 to 1998—while Carey was still married to controlling former husband and music executive Tommy Mottola. Carey told Oprah in 2020 that dating Jeter was actually the “catalyst” for her decision to end her unhappy marriage.

Derek Jeter and Vanessa Lachey, back when she was Vanessa Minnillo, did indeed date—and for kind of a long time by Hollywood standards! Jeter and Lachey were in an on-and-off relationship from 2003 until 2006. After their final breakup, Lachey began dating her future husband, Nick Lachey, that same year … Hmmm, we’re seeing a pattern here.

Apparently 2004 was a big year in the romantic life of Derek Jeter! Back in 2004, Jeter and Scarlett Johansson were rumored to be an item, having been spotted out together several times. However, neither has ever confirmed the connection.

Derek and Hannah met in 2012 in New York through a mutual friend who introduced the two when the model was having dinner with her mother. At the time, she didn’t even know who the baseball legend was! She wrote about the meeting in a blog post on her husband’s media site, The Players’ Tribune. “Derek and I met during the off-season, and I think that was a lucky break. It let us spend some time together away from New York. I didn’t have any preconceptions about who he was, and I didn’t need much more to go on than this: I had met the nicest guy, and I wanted to get to know him on my own terms. Not Google’s.”

Survivor 50 is here! Every week, Parade's Mike Bloom will bring you interviews with the castaway most recently voted off the island.

Charlie Davis was hoping to treat Survivor 50 like a blank space. After finishing as runner-up in one of the most controversial finishes of the new era, he knew people would be saying, "I knew you were trouble when you walked in." But when it came to that perception, Charlie was luckily able to shake it off. Things changed, however, when he met someone whose game he didn't know all too well: Rizo Velovic. When he heard Rizo didn't vote for his number one ally, he thought back to that cruel summer, and vowed to not let that happen again. Unfortunately, his voracious desire to boot the Season 49 standout had some of his former tribemates telling him, "You need to calm down." In the closest vote of the season, Charlie was taken out over his rival, who could only tell the gamer on his way out, "Look what you made me do."

Going into Survivor 50, Charlie was labeled by his fellow castaways as one of the most dangerous players, based on A. What he accomplished in 46, and B. The fuel he would assumingly have from wanting to win this time. As the first week of the game unfolded, he found himself in a startlingly similar position: On a green tribe that basked in immunity, caught between two different sides amassing. Luckily, Kalo never had to show their cards before the tribe swap. So when three of his tribemates changed beaches with him, he felt he had a grip on the rest of the premerge. And he knows firsthand how important grip strength is to Survivorsuccess.

Rizo, on the other hand, was incredibly vulnerable, the only person from his tribe swapped into a group that did not know him from a hole in the shelter. Banking on his wealth of Survivor knowledge, he figured Charlie was seeking redemption, and confided in him about the "Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol" twist to get on the same page. Little did he know, however, that Charlie burned that book the night before. When talking about his season, Rizo revealed he didn't vote for his number one ally, Sophi Balerdi, to win. A wide-eyed Charlie had immediate flashbacks to how things fell apart for him due to Maria Shrime Gonzalez (not helped by Rizo asking about their rocky relationship earlier that day). It was in that moment that he adopted a new plan: RizGod must go.

A surprise double Tribal Council sent the new Cila to vote for the first time, and Charlie couldn't be happier. The Kalos, plus a new associate in Rick Devens would vote out Rizo as the biggest unknown left in the season, allowing him to carry out his wishes. The women, however, had other plans. Dee Valladares went to Rizo, pitching an alliance of them, Cirie Fields and Kamilla Karthigesu. Rizo and Cirie were eager to hop onboard, both feeling on the outs. And Dee and Kamilla were more than happy to turn on Charlie, feeling he was playing both too conservatively and too sloppily. And so "Operation: Bad Blood" went off without a hitch, as Charlie was done in by Rizo and his own "squad," ending his second season with his face in his hands.

Now out of the game, Charlie talks with Parade about the actual reason he went after Rizo, why Dee and Kamilla were already wary of him going into the swap, and whether he was surprised by his emotional trauma from the Season 46 jury vote.

Who were you most surprised joined Rizo in blindsiding you in last night's episode?
Definitely Dee and Kamilla, for sure. I mean, I was a little bit surprised by Cirie, too. But I didn't expect any measure of loyalty. I put in some time to that relationship, and I really like Cirie. I think she liked me, not enough to keep me, but... [Laughs.] So I was surprised by that too. But definitely Dee and Kamilla, probably in that order.

I thought we were tight. We were working together on original Kalo, and I was definitely not coming after either of them by any means. I never said any of their names. If anything, especially in Dee's case, I thought I was playing some defense for her out there on original Kalo. So that was a bummer. But I don't know, sometimes people's perceptions develop over little micro-interactions. And even if you didn't intend anything to be taken a certain way, they do.

Speaking of perceptions, what's your reaction to seeing Kamilla and Dee talk about how you were playing too slowly and with your cards too close to your chest? Did that surprise you at all?
So I think basically to understand that tribe dynamic, you basically have to come in with the hindsight knowledge that, going into that swap tribe, Dee and Kamilla were wary of me. That was not like a brand new development that occurred because of a specific order of how I told people about a "Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol." From my perspective, I told the people on my tribe basically immediately and without any sort of motive about the idol. It was only an issue because Dee and Kamilla were already wary of me. So from my position, I didn't really trust Rizo. I wasn't being loyal to Rizo at all with the idol. Full disclosure, he told me, and I was like, "Okay, I'm gonna tell my whole tribe." So from my perspective, I was like, "Oh, I'm just being loyal to my alliance." So I don't know exactly if I agree with that. I think they were just already wary of me, and I just didn't know why.

Why do you think that is now? Is it from your preseason perception? Or did something happen on Kalo 1.0?
I mean, Kalo 1.0 was weird. There was a lot of, I would say, "soft jockeying" for control. There wa kind of a strategic uneasiness around the beach. There wasn't really a majority until a couple days in. I would say, basically the dynamics that shook out were it was a very obvious trio of Dee, Kamilla and Tiffany. They were very much out front; they didn't care. And then there was the contingent of Coach, Jonathan and Chrissy. And then I would say me and Mike were a little bit in the middle. Not deliberately; we weren't like, "We're gonna play the middle."

It's a position you know all too well!
That's where we found ourselves. But I thought I was probably tighter with — in terms of the alliance, maybe not like individually — with Tiffany, Dee and Kamilla. And I viewed that as like that was going to be the majority that ultimately, probably was going to vote out Chrissy. And then the other side was mainly targeting Dee. And I thought, if anything, I was playing defense for Dee a little bit on that beach. So that's kind of why I didn't really have them flipping on my radar. Because I wasn't coming after them. T

There was one conversation which I had with Dee. Tons of people on the beach had been like, "You're playing too hard." And I tried tip her off, to tell her to adjust, just be like, "Hey, just so you know, people are saying this." And I remember it was almost like disbelief, or very dismissive of it. From my perspective, it was a bit of an awkward conversation, and we just never really synced up. Dee's someone outside the game who is a good friend. I think that caused a blind spot where I didn't put enough time into the in-game relationship. I think she was wary of me and just thought I was being shady or something.

We need to get into your dynamic with Rizo. Was him not voting for his number one ally to win truly the reason you targeted him? Or were there other things involved?
Oh, there are definitely other reasons. So I won't rehash what people have seen. I thought that made the most strategic sense for a couple reasons. One being, basically, the whole theme of narratives and storytelling of why people should be voted out has been talked about a lot. The narrative for Rizo is that he's an unknown quantity. People don't know who he is, people aren't sure how he plays. But that goes away the more he's in the game, because then he becomes a known quantity. And then why is he a threat? No one's gonna really bring it up at all. So I thought it would be good to target him, because, if he sort of gets enough traction, he's just gonna be able to go far in the game. That was my perspective on the beach.

And then two being, in my head, he has the fewest connections. So there's gonna be less collateral damage if Rizo gets taken out, versus anyone else here who has prior friendships or a lot of pregame relationships or other alliances, whatever it may be. So I thought that would be the cleanest thing to do, especially probably with either another swap or a merge coming up, I thought that would be super clean.

So that was my that was my like, more heady rationale for targeting Rizo was not just that little moment, and even that was more complex. Oviously I did say all those things in confessional, but there were good interactions that I had with Rizo. And I talked about in confessional how, "I really like Rizo. We've had some good connections. But there's this other thing that's gnawing at me." And I thought I had more room to act on those feelings versus pure strategy. I thought I had the numbers; I felt comfortable. Famous last words.

Talk to me about those feelings. Were you surprised your feelings about the end of 46 camp up this way?
A little bit. I remember it was the context of the conversation. I promise, on a day to day basis, I'm fine. Sure, do I think sometimes, "Man, it'd be really nice if I won. If I had a million dollars, that'd be awesome"? Yeah, sometimes I think about that. But it's not a super devastating emotional burden that I carry to this day.

But I think when you go back out into that environment, you kind of almost resume where you left off when you were last on Survivor. So it was probably a little bit fresher, a little bit more raw out there. And then, in my head, I was like, "Oh, this is an honest feeling. It makes narrative sense for me to do it." Not that I was trying to play from a meta perspective. But I was like, "I think this would be good for me to do for a growth point of view."

What was your reaction when you found out that Rizo seemingly did vote for his number one ally in Savannah?
I thought it was just comical. It was definitely funny watching that finale. And even after I was voted out, at Ponderosa, I talked to Savannah about it. I mentioned it to her, and she was like, "Oh, I was definitely his number one!"

We see you wake Rizo up early in the morning, telling him that Jonathan was behaving in a way that seemed like he knew about the Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol. What was your intention there, and did you know how that annoyed Rizo?
So what I was worried about was Rizo using that as a wedge to build distrust. So I was worried about him going to Dee or Kamilla, and being like, "Hey, did Charlie tell you about this?" And then I was worried about him potentially bringing in other details and making it seem like I didn't say everything. So I was trying to get a sense of what he was doing with that info.

And that's, again, from my perspective, I went to my whole tribe, and I thought I was being forthcoming with them on all of that. But I was trying to figure out if he was trying to play an extra angle there. I don't think he was. When he told me about the idol, I think that was just genuine. He's not trying to make an inroad. But I thought, "Oh, that would be a good way to build distrust among us." If he went to Dee or Jonathan or Kamilla or whoever, and was like, "Did Charlie tell you about this?" So I was just trying to figure out his game.

So there was no truth to what you said about Jonathan?
No, no. I just said that.

You told me before the season you wanted to lock into another partnership. Were you able to find that person out on the island?
Yeah, I had a good alliance with Mike on Kalo. I think we were in a good spot. I think were in, honestly, good control of that Kalo tribe. So, I mean, the answer is yes. But that was only six days. And then Mike, of course, got voted out just before I did. And I mean, there were tons of people who I was tight with out there. I mean, once Mike was gone, I was kind of trying to reorient myself to really play tight with Dee; that obviously didn't work. But it was going great on Kalo. I felt really in a great spot there. And I mean, to be fair, I thought it was fine on Cila too. [Laughs.]

Talk to me about those relationships. If you had ended up surviving and making the merge, who were you looking to join up with?
I mean, I knew that Kalo was not gonna [stick together]. Not that they came to an open argument. But Chrissy very much knew that the women were targeting her. The women very much knew that Chrissy was targeting them. That was never going to be fine. But I think I would have been in a good spot. Because I was good with Chrissy and Co. and the old-schoolers, I think I would have been totally fine ingratiating myself with them. It's kind of hard for me to say exactly who else I would have worked with because Dee and Kamilla flipped on me. But I think there are plenty of other players that I could have built good bonds with.

We saw quite a different, and more emotional, side of you this season. How do you reconcile your return appearance? And would you want to come back for a third time, given what happened to you on 50?
You may remember from preseason stuff, I did want to come in and be less of a clinical strategist. So, I mean, I succeeded in that mission. [Laughs] Was it a good idea in terms of my placement? Probably not. So I don't know. I mean, listen, I'd come back, definitely when the circumstances are right. I love playing the game; Survivor knows that. I mean, who knows what that would be. Maybe a Rivals season to really hash things out? I think that would probably be what would be most enticing to me. And I think people can guess who might be out there for that.

You have a growing list at this point! [Laughs.]
That's right, that's what I'm saying. So it's perfect. But no, I've done a lot of thinking about what is good for me to hold onto, who I am at my core after 50. And I think, if I played again, I'd sort of resolve that little bit of my Survivor personality.

Critics and audiences have been at each other's throats since the first silent film flickered onto a sheet. But sometimes there’s a huge gap in the cinematic experience, producing an exceptionally polarizing movie. Case in point: It seems every professional reviewer is obsessed with Emilia Pérez. Meanwhile, the group chat thinks it’s a total snooze.

New data has crunched the numbers on the most divisive films to ever hit the Tomatometer. Emilia Pérezis the undisputed champion of the Love it or Hate it category. Critics gave this Spanish-language musical drama a solid 70%. Critics called it bold. They used words like experimental. Meanwhile, the actual people paying for tickets handed it a miserable 17%.

That 53-point gap is the largest ever recorded. It turns out that when you mix a musical with a gritty identity drama and throw in subtitles, critics see high art. Audiences seemed to see a reason to check their phones. Second place goes to the 2017 film It Comes at Night. Critics were tripping over themselves to give it an 88% rating, praising its "mysterious plot." Audiences gave it a 44%.

The problem here was what viewers felt was a classic bait-and-switch. The trailers promised a terrifying monster movie. What showed up on screen was an arthouse slow-burn where nothing actually happens until viewers are already annoyed..

The list of movies that drive a wedge between the pros and the public is a who’s who of cinema. Scarlett Johansson holds the fourth spot with Under the Skin, a movie critics (83%) found captivating while audiences (55%) found it "boring." In the film, Johansson plays an alien wandering Scotland in silence.

Terrence Malick takes two spots in the top ten. His 2011 film The Tree of Life features a 26-point gap because it cuts from a family dinner to the literal Big Bang and dinosaurs. Critics called it a masterpiece. The audience was confused.

The CEO of JB.com explains why this keeps happening: “Regular audiences want entertainment that makes sense on first viewing without needing a film degree to decode. When a movie prioritizes artistic experimentation over accessibility, critics may celebrate it, but it usually also leaves audiences frustrated. This year it’s the same: One Battle After Another just earned 13 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for its lead performance, and while many regular moviegoers liked it, the unconventional storytelling and ambiguous ending still left plenty of viewers scratching their heads.”

The truth is that critics get bored. They see hundreds of movies a year, so they reward anything that breaks the rules. But for the rest of us? Sometimes viewers just want a story that has a satisfying ending.

The worlds in Taylor Sheridan’s universe are hardly idyllic. They’re filled with deception, secrets, and the occasional murder. But one thing remains consistently true—whether we’re talking about Yellowstone, Landman, or Special Ops: Lioness—the setting is just as important as the characters. Where Sheridan places his stories helps define and shape them in a uniquely powerful way. His latest triumph, The Madison, is no exception.

The peaceful lakes and breathtaking mountain scenery of Ennis, Montana have completely captivated viewers. So much so that the tiny town—home to just 917 residents—is now experiencing a notable real estate and tourism boom. According to Realtor.com, the median home listing price has climbed to $742,000, a staggering 49.9% increase from pre-pandemic levels in February 2020. The outlet reports that the area is seeing an influx of buyers from places like New York, many of whom are preparing for retirement.

It’s an appealing move. Montana is widely considered one of the more retirement-friendly states, thanks to no sales tax, relatively low property taxes, and wide-open space.

And Ennis isn’t alone. Nearby regions like Wyoming and Jackson Hole, Wyoming have also seen property prices rise—up 28% over the past five years thanks to Yellowstone.

“That show put the idea of the West in front of a huge audience,” Jackson Hole–based real estate broker Latham Jenkins told the Daily Mail. “People see the wide-open land, the family legacy, and the independence it represents. A lot of buyers who might never have considered it before now think, ‘Why not us?’ It’s less about cows and more about the lifestyle and legacy.”

What’s So Appealing About Ennis?

As the primary filming location for The Madison, Ennis offers more than just good looks. Despite its small size, the town has a lively downtown filled with unique boutiques, artisan shops, and fishing-focused stores. Visually, it feels like stepping straight into a Western—complete with simple storefronts and rugged landscapes.

There’s also no shortage of hearty, down-home restaurants, so visitors won’t feel completely cut off from civilization.

But if you’re looking to truly unplug, Ennis delivers. The area is especially known for its world-class fly fishing. The cold, trout-filled waters of the Madison River make it possible for even beginners to have a rewarding experience. Surrounding the river are sweeping mountain ranges that are stunning year-round.

Fair warning: winters here are no joke. While the snowy season is ideal for skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing, it’s important to remember that for a good portion of the year, those lush green fields are blanketed in white. As a self-proclaimed city girl who hesitates at even a couple inches of snow, that would give me pause when it comes to living there—but a cozy springtime cabin stay? Absolutely.

If you’re hoping to visit and live out your cowboy-era dreams (even briefly), there are only a couple of traditional lodging options in town, including Red Bear Inn and McAllister Inn & Lodging, located just outside of Ennis. There are also plenty of cabin rentals available, with both hotels and rentals averaging around $130 per night.

Just remember: this is a truly unplugged kind of getaway—and Kurt Russell won’t be riding up on horseback. But the scenery more than makes up for it.

The Desperate Housewives star is far from Wisteria Lane. Actress Eva Longoria just celebrated a birthday (on March 15) and recently sat down with AARP for a candid interview on work, fame, life, and, of course, motherhood.

Even though Longoria just turned the big 5-1, the actress/producer/director/entrepreneur still looks just as youthful as she did when fans only knew her as Gaby Solis. Maybe that’s from chasing after her energetic seven-year-old son, Santiago (with husband Jose Bastón). 

View this post on Instagram

Longoria married her Bastón in 2016, and told AARP that he is “The kindest human being in the world. Pepe brightens every room he enters.” While it may seem like the pair has a fairytale romance, they’re just like the rest of us. The actress admits they occasionally bicker and went on to add, “We’re passionate about our differences…but we always make up.”

So, what does Longoria have to say about motherhood? The former beauty queen (she was Miss Corpus Christi USA in 1998) waited until her early 40s to become a mom. In her recent interview with AARP, Longoria explained, “Once Santi was born, everything changed, and it actually made life easier…because then you have the automatic answer. Everything goes through the lens of: Does this take away from my time with my son? Then no, I cannot do that.”

A year after giving birth, Longoria talked openly about how being a mom first changed her during an interview with Today. While promoting the live-action Dora the Explorer movie, the celeb (who played the role of Dora’s mother in the big-screen version of the kids’ cartoon fave) got real about being a working mom. “My son was eight weeks old when they called, and we’re going to Australia filming the movie. And I was like, I can’t do it. And my husband was the one who was like, of course, you have to do this.” 

The actress continued, talking about her then-one-year-old son Santi, “I’m really like, really blessed, to have such an easy kid…Everyone always asks me, ‘What was surprising?’ There’s nothing surprising. There’s so much information out there, and every mom telling you what to do…What was surprising, though, was the anxiety I now have about the world.” 

Also a philanthropist, through the Eva Longoria Foundation, the mom added, being a parent has changed her outlook: “I have to leave the world a better place…that has given me a lot more fuel for my fire in philanthropy. 

It looks like six years later, she’s still going strong! And while she’s grown as a person, an actress, and a mother, Longoria isn’t much different from other parents. When asked by AARP about her “secret for life,” she replied, “I don’t think there’s a uniform formula for satisfaction.” And we agree!

A beloved ’90s model is reminding everyone that natural beauty never goes out of style.

Pamela Anderson is fronting a beautiful new campaign for Aerie—and her fresh-faced, makeup-free look is already turning heads.

In the campaign, Anderson, 58, appears glowing and confident without heavy glam, embracing a more natural, effortless version of herself that fans have come to admire in recent years. The stripped-back approach feels both refreshing and powerful, highlighting her features in a way that feels authentic and modern.

The campaign itself reinforces Aerie’s ongoing commitment to its 100% Aerie Real pledge, promising no AI-generated bodies or people—ever. Through a striking visual contrast between an artificial digital world and a warm, real-life shoot, the message is clear: nothing replaces real people and real connection.

Anderson’s presence adds even more meaning. Once defined by the high-glam beauty standards of the ’90s, she has since reclaimed her image on her own terms—making her the perfect face for a campaign centered on authenticity.

Throughout the shoot, she models several looks from the brand, radiating confidence with a soft, natural glow that feels both timeless and current.

It’s a gorgeous reminder that sometimes, the most powerful statement is simply showing up as yourself.

There’s a certain kind of exhaustion that comes with the end of a trip where you’re half-running on adrenaline, half-running on airport coffee, and fully convinced you’ve packed everything you need. You toss sandy sneakers into a duffel, squeeze in that last pair of flip-flops, and promise yourself you’ll deal with the mess when you get home.

But what if something else made its way into your bag when you weren’t looking? Not a forgotten souvenir. Not a misplaced charger. Something alive.

That’s exactly what happened to one woman after returning from a trip to Réunion Island, a remote and wildly beautiful destination in the Indian Ocean. What started as a routine journey home quickly turned into the kind of story that makes you rethink every casually packed bag and every last-minute zip of your suitcase. Because by the time she realized she hadn’t traveled alone, it was already too late.

A Tropical Getaway Turns Into a Chilling Surprise

The trip began in Réunion Island, a lush, volcanic island in the Indian Ocean located between Mauritius and Madagascar. Known for its rugged hiking trails, dense forests, and biodiversity, the island feels like a world away from mainland Europe. After days spent exploring in the tropical heat, the family packed up and flew back to Paris, trading warm, humid air for the stark chill of winter. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, until the next day.

Back at home, the woman’s father opened a duffel bag filled with hiking shoes and flip-flops, gear that had last been used on Réunion’s trails. That’s when her brother noticed something strange. A small animal she described as a “weird-looking mouse” with a distinctly “beak-like face”—suddenly jumped out of the bag. Panic set in as the rodent darted across the apartment and disappeared.

Trying to make sense of what they had just seen, the woman retraced her steps. She realized she had opened that same duffel bag at the airport in Réunion just a day earlier, stuffing in last-minute items before their flight. Somewhere in that moment, the tiny stowaway must have slipped inside.

She reached out to her sister-in-law, who is from Réunion, for help identifying the animal. When her sister-in-law sent photos of local rodents, the resemblance was undeniable and it was likely a species native to the island. While Réunion is home to a range of wildlife, including introduced rodents like the black rat and house mouse, these animals are highly adaptable and often live near human environments. In other words, it’s entirely plausible that one could sneak into a travel bag, especially one filled with shoes and left open.

While her TikTok framed the moment with humor and disbelief, the situation touches on a real issue: accidental wildlife transport.

Many countries, including France, have strict regulations about transporting animals across borders, especially to prevent the spread of invasive species or disease. Even unintentional transport can pose ecological risks.

Beyond health concerns, global regulations also aim to prevent the spread of invasive species, which can damage native ecosystems, infrastructure, and agriculture, sometimes even when animals are transported unintentionally.

The Internet Reacts

As the video gained traction, viewers were equal parts horrified and fascinated.

One user had me laughing by saying "He travelled here to pursue his career as a chef" referring to the movie Ratatouille.

A concerned citizen points out "The most common shrew on La Réunion Island is the Asian house shrew and they can carry an abundance of diseases and ticks on their bodies. Maybe you should call someone!"

Others shared similar stories with one commentor stating "my dad ran an airline hanger & occasionally brought me home a random animal hitchhiker to keep as a pet. Def illegal. but kid me was THRILLED!"

But nearly everyone agreed on one thing: this is the kind of travel story that sticks with you.

Sir Paul McCartney is doing it again.

The 83-year-old rocker announced his upcoming album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, marking his first studio album release in more than five years.

Set to release on May 29, the 14-track record is reportedly an introspective autobiographical album.

View this post on Instagram

The lead single, "Days We Left Behind," is "very much a memory song for me," McCartney said.

"The album title, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, comes from a lyric in this track," the former Beatles star explained. "I was thinking just that, about the days I left behind and I do often wonder if I’m just writing about the past but then I think how can you write about anything else? It’s just a lot of memories of Liverpool. It involves a bit in the middle about John and Forthlin Road, which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there. I used to live in a place called Speke, which is quite working class. We didn’t have much at all, but it didn’t matter, because all the people were great and you didn’t notice you didn’t have much."

The Boys of Dungeon Lane is the Grammy winner's 19th solo album, following 2020's McCartney III.

"YES!!! THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT BLUEBELL!!!!!😍," one customer wrote, as another chimed in, "Oh yeah this is gonna be a banger."

Elsewhere, someone added, "Yum!! Love to wake up to drops like this!" with others chiming in, "This is going to change my life."

This is just the latest flavor from the iconic ice cream company that loves spoiling us! Just last month, they introduced Honey and Vanilla, combining "the distinct taste of smooth vanilla with the rich flavor of fresh vanilla ice cream."

Earlier in the year, Blue Bell quietly answered the prayers of ice cream lovers everywhere, bringing back the wildly popular King Cakeflavor in celebration of Mardi Gras, a return the company confirmed to Parade.

Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing, going on eight weeks after the abduction from her Tucson, Ariz., home—and the Today co-anchor just revealed new details about the 84-year-old's condition when she was kidnapped.

During a March 26 interview on Today, Savannah sat down with her friend and colleague, Hoda Kotb, to discuss her mother's case for the first time since Nancy went missing.

"We thought that we must have had, like, some kind of medical episode in the night. And somehow, the paramedics had come because the back doors were propped open, you know?" Savannah explained, of what she and her siblings — Annie Guthrie and Camron Guthrie — initially thought happened to their mother. "We thought maybe they came ,and there was a stretcher, and they took her out the back. But her phone was there, and her purse was there, and all her things. And it just didn't make any sense."

Additionally, the NBC morning show journalist said they quickly ruled out the idea that Nancy might have "wandered off."

"She can't wander off. My mom, she was in tremendous pain. Her back was very bad, you know?" she told Kotb. "On a good day, she could walk down to the mailbox and get the mail. But most days, not. So there was no wander off. And the doors were propped open, and there was blood on the front doorstep, and the Ring camera had been yanked off."

They quickly knew "something was very wrong here," Savannah noted.

Later during her sit-down with Kotb, Savannah shared yet another previously unknown detail about Nancy's condition on the night she was abducted: She was in her pajamas and wore no shoes.

"It is surreal," she said of making a message with her siblings to her mother's kidnappers. "How is it possible that we are having to make a video speaking to a kidnapper who took an 84-year-old woman in the dead of night, in her pajamas with no shoes, without her medicine. This little person. To beg for mercy."

Nancy was last seen at her Catalina Foothills residence on the evening of Jan. 31. The Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI have continued their search since Feb. 1 — however, no suspects have been named.

Pascal Duvier is officially done with the internet rumors. If that name doesn’t sound familiar, it should. He’s the veteran security pro who has shielded everyone from the Kardashians to the biggest names in pop. Now, he’s stepping into the line of fire to clear Chappell Roan’s name after a chaotic breakfast in Brazil turned into a global PR headache.

The story started with a viral accusation. Jude Law and Catherine Harding’s 11-year-old daughter, Ada, was reportedly "shaken" after an encounter at a São Paulo hotel. The claim? That Roan had sicced her security on a child just for smiling. But Pascal is calling foul.

"I do not normally address online rumors," Duvier wrote in a March 25 Instagram post. "But the accusations currently circulating are false and constitute defamation."

Here is the twist that the comment sections missed. Duvier wasn't working for Roan that day. He was at the hotel on behalf of an entirely different client. "I was at the hotel on behalf of another individual, and I was not part of the personal security team of Chappell Roan," Duvier clarified. "The actions I took were not on behalf of Chappell Roan, her personal security team, her management, or any other individuals."

Acording to the guard, Chappell was just a bystander eating eggs while a security guard she didn’t hire made what he refers to as a "judgment call." Duvier admits he stepped in because of "information we obtained from the hotel" and a "heightened overall security risk" in the area. He thought he was doing his job. He didn't realize he was sparking a celebrity feud.

Harding’s husband, Jorginho, didn’t see it as a misunderstanding. He went to Instagram to describe a "very upsetting" scene where a "large security guard" confronted his wife and daughter while they were still eating. According to him, Ada just walked past, confirmed it was the singer, and smiled.

“She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything," Jorginho wrote. "What happened next was completely disproportionate."mHe claims Duvier was "extremely aggressive," accusing an 11-year-old of "disrespecting" or "harassing" the singer. Pascal, however, remembers it differently. "My sole interaction with the mother was calm and with good intentions," he said, adding that "the outcome of the encounter is regretful."

While the internet was sharpening its pitchforks, Roan was apparently completely oblivious. She was in town for Lollapalooza and just trying to get through her morning coffee. “I didn’t even see a woman and a child. No one came up to me,” the 28-year-old said in an Instagram Story. “No one bothered me. Like, I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel."

She was firm about the fact that she doesn't know the man who approached them. “I did not ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child,” she added. “They did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything.”

Zendaya is booked and busy! The actor revealed in a recent interview that she may plan to take a small hiatus from the big and small screen, as she stars in five major projects releasing this year.

The actor is currently promoting her first leading movie role of the year with The Drama, alongside Robert Pattinson. In an interview with Fandango, her four movie roles and one leading TV role were brought up, as the actor will be gracing fans' screens throughout the year.

Besides The Drama, Zendaya is also scheduled to star in the final season of Euphoria, the third installment of Dune, and the new installment of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. She will also reunite with Pattinson in the highly anticipated film The Odyssey, where she stars alongside her fiancé, Tom Holland. To say Zendaya has been busy is an understatement, with the actor revealing she hopes fans don't get sick of her.

"I just hope people don’t get sick of me. I really appreciate anyone who supports any of the movies or supports my career in any kind of way, I’m deeply appreciative," she said. "I just hope you guys don’t get sick of me this year because I’ll tell you what, after this, I’m disappearing for a little bit. I’m going to have to go into hiding for just a little bit."

2026 is the year of Zendaya.

She teases her massive upcoming releases, from #Euphoria to #SpiderManBrandNewDay, in @Fandango’s Big Ticket interview for #TheDrama.

Whether she's serious, fans will have to wait and see. She's expected to go on intense promotional tours for all three of her remaining major movie roles, and for Euphoria. The Drama releases in theaters on April 3, with the first episode of the final season of Euphoria scheduled to premiere on April 12.

July will also be a busy month with The Odyssey hitting theaters on July 17, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day releasing weeks later on July 31. Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part 3, starring Timothée Chalamet, is also scheduled to release at the end of the year on Dec. 18.

Zendaya's plans for a hiatus might coincide with Holland's own statement of stepping away from acting, one deciding to start a family. The two have been at the center of online rumors on whether or not they have officially gotten married.
