Alec Baldwin and his wife have opened up about the prenup she had to sign before they got married in an episode of their new reality show.

Alec Baldwin’s life has been in the spotlight a lot over the last few years, so much so that the actor now has a reality TV show where his family features heavily.

In the latest episode of the TLC show, entitled The Baldwins, Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, spoke about the earlier aspects of their relationship – most notably the decision to sign a prenup.

For those not in the know, a prenup is a pre-nuptial agreement that both parties sign ahead of getting married to ensure it is clear how assets will be divided in the event they get a divorce.

During the episode that aired on February 23, Baldwin recalled his first marriage to Kim Basinger that lasted from 1993 to 2002 and his desire for a prenup.

He said: “After my first marriage I said, ‘Let’s have a prenup.’”

Hilaria admitted that at the time she didn’t take the necessary steps to understand what a prenup was and the significance of the document she was about to sign ahead of their wedding in June 2012.

She said: “I just don’t understand quite what a prenup is. Because you are like, ‘After a certain number of kids it is this.’ And I was like, ‘You know what? I will just sign it.’

“Which was probably very stupid of me back then.

“Now, I would read it again. I just said, ‘I won’t sign it. I don’t really want to think about the end by the beginning.’ And then you were like, ‘I don’t want to do it either.’”

The pair’s reality TV show also dives into the fatal rust shooting that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

The incident happened back in 2021 and Baldwin was was charged with involuntary manslaughter as he was holding the gun. He consistently maintained that he did not fire the gun and had no knowledge of it being loaded with real ammunition rather than dummy rounds.

Last year in July, a judge dismissed the charges against him.

The pair insisted the support and connectivity of their family unit helped them deal with the situation. Baldwin has also reflected on the negative impact the whole situation had on his wife.

Speaking to her, he said: “This has been just surreal. I mean, I can’t even believe that we’re going through this, and I always feel more in pain about you than me, because I think to myself, well, you know, ‘I’m going to try to my best to just get through it’, and I think what it’s done to you and how much it’s hurt you and everything.”

Cue a panic about what to wear, sorting spray tans, getting to the venue on time – and to add to the chaos the bride and groom aren’t answering their phones.

This is what happened to the friends and family of Ruth Ridyard, 35, and her now-husband Martin, 38, from Manchester.

They wanted to have a ‘casual and chill’ wedding, and thought the best way to achieve this was by giving their 24 guests zero notice.

They were super sneaky about the whole thing and went to the trouble of contacting people’s bosses on the sly to book time off for them so they could attend the ceremony, which took place on 22 February last year.

She told others she was planning a spa day or drinks so they would be free. The wedding date was two years to the day of their first date through Bumble.

Ruth, a construction worker, said: “We’ve both been married before, and we wanted it to be casual and chill.

“We were chatting in the kitchen and thought of the idea, and we didn’t ask each other; we just went along with it.

“We knew we wanted to do it and would make a day of it. However, we have more important things to pay for.

“The good thing was that the people we invited didn’t speak to anyone, so that was kept secret, and we could keep the surprise.

“I texted everyone at midnight.

“People took it well, and it was a good response. I got a load of funny reactions from people saying they would do their fake tan at 1am, but they were all fine with it.”

Four people who did feel a little let down by the whole thing, however, were Ruth’s four kids, after she told them they would be going to a trampoline park, only for them to end up at the comparatively boring occasion of their mum tying the knot.

On the morning of her big day, Ruth supped a few glasses of champagne, while ignoring her phone which was going ‘mental’, saying she found it all very ‘relaxing’.

The whole thing turned out pretty affordable too, with the couple spending £400 on a registrar, £500 on their outfits, £300 on a hotel and £200 on Ubers.

She also splashed £1,200 on a reception at a pizza restaurant with ‘shed loads’ of booze, followed by karaoke at a pub.

Ruth said: “We wanted the day to be like any other night but equally something we’d all remember. We had the best day and so did our guests. I might be biased, but it’s the best wedding I’ve ever been to.”

You may know Richards from her role as a fan favourite on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, her portrayal of Bond girl Christmas Jones, or even be a subscriber to her OnlyFans account.

The 54-year-old debuted on the platform back in June 2022 after seeing the success her 20-year-old daughter Sami Sheen was having.

Sami – the eldest daughter of Richards and her ex-husband Charlie Sheen – announced her foray into the adult industry when she was 18.

At the time of the announcement, her mother left a supportive message on her Instagram profile.

“Sami I will always support you & always have your back,” the World Is Not Enough alumna typed,” as per Metro. “I love you”.

According to a new interview with PEOPLE, the 20-year-old revealed she’d joined the platform to purchase an apartment after realising ‘working at a candy shop’ wasn’t going to cut it.

“So I went to the next best thing and made an OnlyFans,” she confessed.

Two years later, and Sami claims her online work has opened ‘so many doors’ for her, adding she’s also met some ‘really cool’ people.

“It’s been really rewarding being my own boss and making my own hours and being able to do the things I’ve always wanted to do.”

Sami also claims she talks to other OnlyFans models or watches videos to get different ideas.

Unfortunately, Sami has reportedly received backlash for posting on the content, which has made her mum ‘upset’ by reminding her of the actress’ own grapple with the media.

Drawing on her own experiences as a ‘sex symbol’, Richards told the publication: “It bothered me that Sami was getting backlash for owning her own sexuality and her being a woman and doing what she wanted to.”

Following in her daughter’s footsteps, the reality TV star now also produces content for OnlyFans, a move Sami says she thinks is ‘great’.

“I always just tell her I wish she waited a little bit because she started it right after I did,” she confessed. “But yeah, it doesn’t bother me at all.

Sami also claimed there was a boundary in place when it comes to the mother-daughter duo pursuing their own online careers.

The rule? Don’t look at what the other is posting on their platform.

When asked if they had checked out each other’s pages, Sami told People: “No, that would be weird.”

The Scary Movie 3 actor echoed: “Yes, we draw a line there.”

Sami’s younger sister Lola, 19, – whose father is also Two and a Half Men’s Sheen – has also revealed her opinion on her mother doing OnlyFans.

“Whatever makes her happy,” she claimed.

The tell-all interview comes ahead of Richards’ new Bravo series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, which is set to debut on March 2.

The programme will document the Illinois native’s life with her husband Aaron Phyphers, and is set to feature appearances from Sami and Lola, as well as their younger sister Eloise Richards.

Richards added that the family will be just ‘trying to be themselves’ through the show, which has ‘always been her approach’.

Last September, music fans were shocked when Foo Fighters frontman Grohl – who’s often referred to as ‘the nicest man in rock’ – confirmed that he had cheated on his wife of 22 years and welcomed a daughter with another woman.

“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” the singer wrote in the jaw-dropping statement, adding that he was doing everything he could to regain trust and forgiveness from his wife Jordyn Blum and their three daughters.

“We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together,” the 56-year-old added.

Grohl didn’t reveal any further details about the infant, her exact date of birth or who the child’s mother was.

However, a woman named Jennifer Young has now come forward claiming to the child’s mother.

Revealing her identity to Page Six and The New York Post, the 38-year-old confirmed her baby girl was born on 1 August and had been given Grohl’s last name.

Young requested that the child’s name not be shared publicly due to her fears over ‘really angry fans’.

“Protecting her identity is really important” she said.

Not much is known about Young as she has very little online presence, however The Post has claimed that she is originally from Florida and works as a horror movie producer.

Grohl rose to fame as the drummer for grunge-rock band Nirvana during the 1990s, going on to form his own band Foo Fighters after the death of frontman Kurt Cobain in 1994.

The band has enjoyed huge international success with hits such as ‘Everlong’, ‘Best of You’ and ‘All My Life’ as well as headlining Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds Festival.

Grohl has been married to Blum since 2003 and the pair currently share three daughters – Violet Maye, 18, Harper Willow, 15 and Ophelia Saint, 10. The musician was previously married to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood from 1994 to 1997.

He and Blum were spotted together for the first time since the infidelity announcement last week and were photographed driving around Los Angeles together. Neither Grohl nor Blum have spoken publicly about the status of their relationship since last September’s announcement.

Bieber fans had recently taken to social media to share their concerns about the singer’s health after he made an appearance at a pop-up event for his wife Hailey Bieber’s Rhode cosmetic line in Los Angeles.

“He still has some healing to do this is sad, one person wrote under a video taken from the event, while a second added: “I can’t understand people who are laughing at this, truly, I just feel bad for both of them, no one deserves this.”

“This is so hard to watch. Someone help him,” another fan added.

However, worried Beliebers out there can now rest easy, as a representative for the singer revealed that their fav is simply feeling tired from fatherhood.

Squashing the rumours with a statement to TMZ, Bieber’s rep clarified that all rumours about the singer using drugs are ‘absolutely not true’.

“The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true,” Bieber’s rep told the outlet, adding that he was ‘in one of the best places in his life’. His tired appearance has also been put down to a combination of working on new music and caring for his infant son, whom he shares with Hailey.

Explaining how the rumours of drug use impact the ‘Baby’ hitmaker, the representative added that reports linking the 30-year-old musician to drug use were ‘exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive’.

The statement from Bieber’s rep came out just after the singer was taking part in a charity hockey game to raise funds for LA wildfire relief, which saw him joking with ET reporters about getting his six-month-old son on skates ‘as soon as possible’.

The rep also explained that Bieber had been going through a ‘very transformative’ year, in which ‘he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him’.

Bieber has been candid about his experiences with substance use in the past, revealing in a 2021 interview that drugs had previously been a ‘numbing agent’ for him.

“It was like I had all this success and it was still like: I’m still sad, and I’m still in pain. And I still have these unresolved issues. And I thought all the success was going to make everything good,” he explained.

“And so for me, the drugs were a numbing agent to just continue to get through.”

23-year-old Hall was last seen on Tuesday (18 February) leaving her home at Barracks Farm, Tow Law at around 3pm.

Her car was later found abandoned at the side of a moorland road a day later, with extensive searches being carried out by specially-trained police and mountain rescue teams.

Five days after her disappearance, Durham Constabulary confirmed yesterday (23 February) that a body had been found in the search for the long distance runner.

“We’re sorry to report that officers searching for missing woman Jenny Hall, have sadly found a body,” the police said in a statement, adding that formal identification of the body is yet to take place.

“The body was found in a very remote area in Teesdale just after 9.30am.”

Durham Police went on to add that Hall’s family had been informed about the discovery and were ‘currently being supported by specialist officers’.

“They have asked for privacy at this devastating time,” the statement added.

The force added that there are no ‘suspicious circumstances’ relating to the discovery of the body and that a file is currently being prepared for the coroner.

“The force would particularly like to thank the expert mountain rescue teams who have been working intensively alongside officers on the ground,” the statement concluded.

An extensive police search had taken place in the hunt for the long distance runner, who was known to regularly visit Hamsterley Forest on her runs.

The search was aided by volunteers, with around 60 people turning up to help on the Saturday.

Earlier this week one of the volunteers spoke about the difficulties of searching the area, explaining that the terrain was ‘muddy and boggy’.

“The biggest challenge is the area size itself and the terrain,” volunteer Peter Bell explained to the BBC.

Data intelligence officers were also working to track the Hall’s phone, smartwatch and running apps, but were unable to find any leads.

“We have become increasingly concerned for Jenny since she was reported missing on Tuesday and have been exploring all lines of inquiry,” Chief Inspector Dean Haythornthwaite, of Durham Constabulary, said earlier in the week.

Haythornthwaite went on to thank the public for their help in the search, despite the difficult terrain and weather conditions.

“I just want to say a huge thank you to members of the public who have contacted us with information, we really do appreciate your help and support,” he added.

He was born in 1957 in Cameroon and was among the 40 great apes captured and sold to the Holloman Aerospace Medical Center in New Mexico in 1959.

He was later selected for the Mercury Project to study space effects on humans and ensure safe re-entry and recovery.

Initially known as ‘Number 65’, he was renamed as ‘Ham’ after the centre’s initials, where he underwent training such as learning to pull levers in response to sound and light, according to the National Air and Space Museum.

On 31 January 1961, Ham was then launched into space aboard the Mercury-Redstone 2 mission.

During the 16.5-minute suborbital flight, he experienced weightlessness and high g-forces, yet managed to perform tasks at a high enough level.

However, Ham’s mission was not without problems after a technical malfunction caused the capsule to overshoot its intended trajectory, landing 130 miles off-target in the Atlantic Ocean.

According to the book, ‘A Brief History of Animals in Space’ published by NASA’s History Office, Ham ‘experienced a total of 6.6 minutes of weightlessness during a 16.5-minute flight’.

Ham’s capsule took on water and it took several hours for the rescue crew to get there, though luckily, Ham survived.

According to the post-flight report (via the National Air and Space Museum): “Robert F. Wallace, an STG information officer on the scene, reported that Ham was excited when returned to Hangar S after his flight.

“Being unable to debrief his handlers, Ham alone knew at this time how gruelling his flight had been. Flashbulbs and crowding newsmen made him highly agitated, and he snapped at several people.

“Later, when his handler led him back toward a capsule for pictures requested by the TV crews, Ham again became highly perturbed. It took three men to calm the ‘astrochimp’ for the next round of pictures.”

According to The Guardian, Ham was found to be largely unharmed, aside from his fear following his flight.

Ham was transferred to The National Zoo in 1963, where he lived by himself for 17 years, before being sent to the North Carolina Zoo to be with other chimps.

He died on 18 January, 1983, at the estimated age of 26.

Pictures of him during training went viral on Reddit, with one person writing: “Space history is full of unsung heroes, and this little astronaut is one of them.”

Another said: “Thank you for your service, Ham. All life on Earth owes you a debt of gratitude.”

Brian Odom, NASA’s chief historian, told USA Today in January that Ham’s experience was ‘important’ for space travel as we know it today.

He said: “We can’t forget about Ham and how important his experience was to telling us what we needed to know to get that confidence to put a human in space and to continue on, which would ultimately lead to the success of Apollo in July of 1969.”

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows behind the scenes of the much-loved world of witches and wizards.

Many fans of the Harry Potter books and films would give anything to spend a day at Hogwarts, but actor Jason Isaacs, a.k.a Lucius Malfoy, father of Draco Malfoy, has opened up about the reality of making the films.

He admits it’s a ‘terrible confession’ to make and one that will disappoint many who love the film adaptions of JK Rowling’s books.

The star has owned up and said the films ‘weren’t that fun to make’ and could be ‘quite boring.’

He is currently appearing in the latest series of White Lotus, and appeared on The One Show this week and was asked about what it was like making the Harry Potter films.

He did share his affection for the series, and said he finds it emotional when he watches the film with his family.

Jason shared: “Even though I was in the films, when I take nephews and nieces to the tour, and the thing comes up and you’re in the Great Hall, every time I burst out in tears. It’s incredibly moving.”

Despite his display of emotion, he shared the truth of long days onset: “There’s some magic that happens in those books and in those films.

“It’s a terrible confession to make, but they weren’t that fun to make,” he admitted candidly.

“It’s quite boring, to make these big special effects films, the pleasures all come afterwards when I see and meet people for whom their lives were changed by it,” he added.

“And still, people are reading it and sharing it with their children. Some people say their lives were saved by it, and I believe them. There’s something happened, who knows why?

“But when those ingredients came together and the soufflé rose, and it created just love around the world. And a sense of belonging.”

It’s not all bad then, and he does still seem to love the films and his part in it.

He’s not the only cast member to put their foot in it about the magic of filming, as Tom Felton once recalled.

Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the film, recalled accidentally disappointing a young fan: “I remember after the first couple of films, there was the Comic Con in San Diego… We were doing a Q & A with thousands of Potter fans. This little seven year old walks up. We lower the mic. She’s like ‘What is it like to fly a broom?’ ‘Sorry, love? What’s it like to fly a broom? Painful! Horrible! You sit on this metal pole and they blow wind in your hair.”

He saw her eyes widen in alarm: “So I quickly realized: ‘It’s one of the greatest experiences in your life! How old are you? You’re nine. You’ve got two more years and you’ll find out for yourself,” and said he has tried to be an ambassador and keeping the fun for people ever since.

As well as the films, books, multiple theme parks and locations to visit, fans will eventually have a new TV series to watch based on the boy wizard.

Warner Bros and HBO are rebooting it for a series, with a season for each book.

Casting calls have previously gone out for the roles, previously played by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.

Earlier this week, it was announced that longtime 007 producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have formed a joint venture with Amazon MGM Studios.

While Wilson and Broccoli will remain as co-owners, they have also reportedly given MGM creative control – meaning they could be in charge of James Bond’s future.

And Amazon founder Bezos, 61, has since taken to X to ask a very important question.

“Who’d you pick as the next Bond?” he penned on 20 February as thousands of fans were replying in the comments.

You had all sorts of names flying around, from fan-favourite Idris Elba to a very rogue Tom Cruise.

However, according to various reports, here are some of the frontrunners.

Who could play the next James Bond?

Henry Cavill

The Man of Steel actor, 41, was mentioned a lot in the comments and has been a popular choice among fans.

But having already failed auditioning against Daniel Craig in 2005, would he get another chance?

Aaron Taylor-Johnson

At 34, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been one of the bookies’ favourites after featuring in the likes of Kick-Ass and Nocturnal Animals – and there’s was a report in 2024 which claimed he’d been ‘formally offered’ the role.

His versatility and age could make him a strong contender for a long-term commitment to the franchise.

James Norton

Best known for his role in Happy Valley, James Norton’s range and British heritage align with the traditional portrayal of Bond.

Even though he’s 39, he doesn’t look a day past 30.

Harris Dickinson

The youngest contender at 28, Harris Dickinson certainly offers a bit of youthful energy.

His performances in The King’s Man and Babygirl have showcased his potential to take on such an iconic role.

Who Daniel Craig wants to play the next Bond

The James Bond actor, 56, previously said he doesn’t care who plays the next 007.

“I keep saying I don’t [care] because people ask me all the time, and I’m an ornery, grumpy old man, so I say I don’t give a s**t.” he told The Times.

Despite not being too bothered by the outcome, Craig has praised producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli after news broke of the joint-venture.

“My respect, admiration and love for Barbara and Michael remain constant and undiminished,” he said in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter.

“I wish Michael a long, relaxing (and well-deserved) retirement and whatever ventures Barbara goes on to do, I know they will be spectacular and I hope I can be part of them.”
