<p>It's safe to say that the success of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/james-cameron" rel="" target="_blank">James Cameron</a>'s <a href="https://www.etonline.com/movies/titanic" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Titanic</em></a>&nbsp;hinged on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kate-winslet" rel="" target="_blank">Kate Winslet</a>'s&nbsp;chemistry with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/leonardo-dicaprio" rel="" target="_blank">Leonardo DiCaprio</a>.</p>

<p>Thankfully, the two young stars instantly connected, making the 1997 epic the iconic classic it is today. And over 20 years after the film's release in theaters, their bond is still a marvel, which Winslet gives new insight into for a&nbsp;new featurette,&nbsp;<em>Titanic: Stories from the Heart,&nbsp;</em>found<em>&nbsp;</em>on the bonus disc of the new 4k Ultra HD release.</p>

<p>"Once I started working with Leo, we were able to kind of find our own rhythm. And it's amazing to kind of look back and think about it all over again," Winslet remembers in ET's exclusive peek at the upcoming release above.</p>

<p>She recalls that they "clicked immediately, right away." "He was this kind of mess of long, skinny, uncoordinated limbs. And he was just very free with himself, and he had this effervescent energy that was really magnetic," she adds. "And I remember thinking, 'Oh, this is gonna be fun. We're definitely gonna get along.' And we just really did. We just really did."</p>

<p>Gushing about her former co-star and close friend, Winslet praises&nbsp;DiCaprio for his way of seeing their characters, describing the other star as a "ferociously intelligent man."</p>

<p>"He was then very, very smart, very, very curious. So he was really fascinated with the period, the details to do with the boat, the lower classes, where those people had come from, how those people had paid for their tickets," she shares. "We connected on so many levels. That sense of focus on the craft and still really caring deeply about that to this day."</p>

<p>The close bond they formed on the <em>Titanic&nbsp;</em>set is still alive today. Winslet shares how often the two connect in real time, saying, "And we'll always just make that call right away. There's no like, 'Hang on, I'll call you tomorrow.' It's instant. And that's actually really something."</p>

<p>"You know, if you think about it, in the world that we live in now, to have friendships that bind you, and that shared history, it's really something," she concludes.</p>

<p>To think there had been a chance that&nbsp;DiCaprio wouldn't have landed the role of&nbsp;Jack opposite Winslet as Rose!&nbsp;While chatting with ET last year, Cameron revealed that <a href="https://www.etonline.com/james-cameron-explains-why-leonardo-dicaprio-was-almost-not-cast-in-titanic-exclusive-195760" rel="" target="_blank">he had to "sell" the young actor to the studios</a> at the time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Look, we were leaning toward Leo, but I hadn't seen him do anything," Cameron told ET. "And he didn't want to read [for the part]. He said, 'Oh, I don't read.' You know, I'm like, 'Well, are you a little diva? 18 years old? 19 years old?' 'No, I don't&nbsp;read.' Like, 'OK, really? See ya. Wouldn't want to be ya.' So, I called his bluff, right? And he went and read. And he was spectacular, of course."</p>

<p>While DiCaprio may have won Cameron over, the studio wasn't convinced. "But now, I had to sell him to the studio," the director recalled. "And they were like, 'Based on what? [<em>What's Eating</em>]&nbsp;<em>Gilbert Grape</em>? Come on, we're gonna hang this giant movie, romantic film on&nbsp;<em>Gilbert Grape</em>? Give me a break.' So, you know, then I had to talk him into it. But see, Leo wouldn't let me film [him reading]. So, I was like, 'OK, you just have to take my word for it.'"</p>

<p>Needless to say, it was a "tenuous" journey for Cameron.&nbsp;"It shows you how fragile the whole thing is, this whole moviemaking thing," he said, before later adding, "I'm pretty careful about my casting."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I mean, I certainly can't imagine it being anyone other than Leo. But also, I was not party to any of those conversations," Winslet said of Cameron's revelation about DiCaprio almost not getting the part. "I mean, like, how could it have ever not been Leo?"&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="18496c77-6dd7-41ca-b7a7-bb3efdc58315" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>That said, "I am enormously proud of it," she said of the film, adding,&nbsp;"I have always maintained that Jim is a complete genius. He's an extraordinary filmmaker and he knows exactly what he's doing. His storytelling, his scriptwriting --&nbsp;he's extraordinary at creating not just strong roles for women, but women who are at the center, who are leaders, you know, who lead with integrity."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fans can dig into more behind-the-scenes goodies when&nbsp;<em>Titanic&nbsp;</em>drops in 4K Ultra HD for the first time on Dec. 5. It'll be available in a new two-disc set that also includes a Blu-ray disc with five hours of new and legacy bonus content, including the new <em>Stories from the Heart</em> featurette.</p>

<p>A limited-edition collector's boxed set is also available, featuring a coffee table book, a blueprint of the Titanic, movie prop reproductions including ship menus and Jack's fateful boarding pass, and sheet music for "My Heart Will Go On."</p>

<p>The bonus disc also features new behind-the-scenes content with producer Jon Landau, taking audiences behind the making of <em>Titanic</em> and its trailer.</p>

Kate Winslet Reflects on Her Chemistry With Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Titanic' (Exclusive)

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/bhad-bhabie" target="_blank">Bhad Bhabie</a>&nbsp;is going to be a mom! The 20-year-old social media personality revealed her pregnancy by sharing photos of her baby bump on Instagram.</p>

<p>On Friday, Bhabie -- real name Danielle Bregoli -- posted <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0UiqR_vg_a/" rel="" target="_blank">two mirror selfies to her page</a>. In the photos, Bhabie wears a tight white T-shirt highlighting her growing belly and a pair of gray sweatpants. She refrained from adding a caption, letting the photos speak for themselves.</p>

<p>Bhabie,&nbsp;who first rose to fame&nbsp;with her viral "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9K59-f7-LQ" target="_blank">Catch me outside, how about that?</a>" phrase,&nbsp;has yet to reveal how far along she is or the sex of her child.</p>

<p>According to&nbsp;<a href="https://people.com/bhad-bhabie-20-is-pregnant-expecting-first-child-with-boyfriend-le-vaughn-8406327" rel="" target="_blank"><em>People</em></a>, a source claims that the former rapper is expecting her first child with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Czh94sjuqDq/" rel="" target="_blank">her boyfriend, Le Vaughn</a>. Although the couple has kept their relationship relatively private, earlier this year they made headlines&nbsp;when they unveiled their matching tattoos.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Per <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/04/15/bhad-bhabie-boyfriend-matching-name-tattoos/" rel="" target="_blank"><em>TMZ</em></a>, the couple debuted their tattoos in April. Bhabie got Le Vaughn's name tattooed on the left side of her chest, as well as "1111" on her neck, in reference to his birthday. Meanwhile, Le Vaughn got Bhabie's first and middle name tattooed on his neck.</p>

<p>When fans questioned the tattoos, Bhabie commented, "I love that man whether y'all like it or not, y'all gonna talk regardless."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0UiqR_vg_a/">&nbsp;</div>

<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-20">Bhabie took a break from social media in 2020, sharing that she was stepping back due to her "mental health."</p>

<p>"I hate to say it but y'all won! Congrats mission complete. Y'all made the lil 16 year old completely loose [sic] it!" she wrote at the time. "Social media has not only made me who I am but also is every reason I can't sleep at night."</p>

<p>That summer,&nbsp;she revealed she was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/bhad-bhabie-enters-treatment-facility-for-personal-issues-147574" rel="" target="_blank">taking time off at a treatment center to receive professional support</a>.</p>

<p>"Danielle has been working hard for the past few years and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to attend to some personal issues," a statement posted to her social media read. "For past weeks, she has been in a treatment center receiving and continuing to receive professional support."</p>

<p>"She loves her fans, and has promised to return better, and healthier than ever," the statement continued. "Please respect her and her families [sic] privacy at this time."</p>

<p>Bhabie has since <a href="https://deadline.com/2023/11/bhad-bhabie-shares-onlyfans-income-statements-1235600438/" rel="" target="_blank">opened an OnlyFans account</a> and stepped back from her rapping career.&nbsp;</p>

Bhad Bhabie Is Pregnant With Her First Child: See Her Reveal

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jeezy" rel="" target="_blank">Jeezy</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jeannie-mai" rel="" target="_blank">Jeannie Mai</a>'s divorce battle is getting heated. In a new court filing, the rapper accuses the former daytime talk show host of&nbsp;acting as a "gatekeeper" of their daughter and asks a judge for a hearing to set "clearly defined" temporary legal and physical custody rights amid their divorce.</p>

<p>In a filed response to the divorce petition, Mai strongly suggests that Jeezy&nbsp;engaged in infidelity during their marriage, and&nbsp;she "reserves the right to amend this response to add additional grounds for divorce."</p>

<p>Jeezy, born Jay Wayne Jenkins, and Mai <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jeannie-mai-welcomes-first-child-with-jeezy-172643" rel="" target="_blank">share a 1-year-old daughter, Monaco</a>, whom the couple&nbsp;welcomed&nbsp;in January 2022. The 46-year-old GRAMMY-nominated artist&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jeezy-files-for-divorce-from-jeannie-mai-after-two-years-of-marriage-211450" rel="" target="_blank">filed for divorce</a>&nbsp;from the former <em>The Real</em> co-host, 44, in September after two years of marriage.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="b56705c4-152a-4e6e-a5cc-921018d64ef1" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Court documents filed in Fulton County on Thursday and obtained by ET reveal that Jeezy&nbsp;requests a judge to "address temporary custodial arrangements" after the previously agreed-upon visitation schedule became "increasingly less feasible."</p>

<p>The documents state that Monaco&nbsp;has been "temporarily residing" with her mother in the former couple's Los Angeles home since he filed for divorce in September.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Since that time, the parties have endeavored to address temporary custodial arrangements on an informal basis," the court filing reads. "While the parties have agreed upon a visitation schedule through the end of 2023, which has been confirmed via communications between their counsel, to continue addressing custodial and parenting time issues in such an ad hoc manner is becoming increasingly less feasible."</p>

<p>"The lack of consistency, continuity and stability inherently associated with such a haphazard and fluid parenting time schedule is stressful to the Child (Monaco), and it has, as is unfortunately inevitable with all families in transition, created unnecessary tension and confusion regarding not only parenting time but also in regard to each parent's role and rights when the Child is in their respective custody," the document continues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The filing says that Jeezy "does not believe that [Mai Jenkins] is acting maliciously or with specific intent to harm," but he suspects that she "has acted as a gatekeeper when it comes to [Jeezy] exercising parenting time with [Monaco]."&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="7cf54ea3-60c3-43fc-a042-776677668c7e" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="related_left"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>The rapper's lawyers allege that Mai is "causing confusion and tension between the parties and is working to stifle the development" between Jeezy and their daughter. As such, the filing requests&nbsp;that the court "separate, structure and clearly define the parties' temporary legal and physical custody rights and set a parenting time schedule consistent with the best interests of the Child."</p>

<p>Things take a turn in a response to the divorce petition&nbsp;also filed on Thursday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In court documents obtained by ET, Mai's&nbsp;lawyer claims that&nbsp;Jeezy and Mai were not separated when he filed for divorce, despite what the rapper's initial petition stated.</p>

<p>The response also states that although the TV personality "admits the parties' marriage is irretrievably broken," she "reserves the right to amend this response to add additional grounds for divorce that may be appropriate... Wife does not wish to specify herein at this time in the hope this matter can be resolved without having to disclose such conduct publicly."</p>

<p>The insinuation of infidelity comes when the filing states that Mai requests the court to enforce a part of her and Jeezy's prenuptial agreement "regarding infidelity which provides, in pertinent part, that in the event that either party engages in sexual relations, an emotional relationship, or is emotionally or sexually suggestive in communication with a third party via all forms of electronic communications, including but not limited to texting, sexting, Facetiming, social media and/or Direct Messages, shall result in a significant financial penalty upon the adulterous party."</p>

<p>Mai's filing also requests that the media personality be granted "joint legal custody, final decision-making authority, and primary temporary and permanent physical custody" of the couple's daughter; "a fair and equitable distribution of all real and personal property acquired during the marriage;" and that Jeezy pay her attorney's fees and litigation costs.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="2bdadcbd-f8c6-4f62-8a7f-8f5e9f307d2a" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>After&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jeezy-files-for-divorce-from-jeannie-mai-after-two-years-of-marriage-211450" rel="" target="_blank">Jeezy's divorce filing</a>, a source told ET that he and Mai weren't on the same page when it came to "certain family values and expectations," adding,&nbsp;"They had different views, and each felt like their needs weren't being completely met."</p>

<p>"Things haven't been great between Jeannie and Jeezy for a few months," another source&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jeannie-mai-very-surprised-jeezy-filed-for-divorce-source-says-212216" rel="" target="_blank">told ET</a>, "but she is still very surprised that he filed for divorce."</p>

<p>In an October Instagram post, Mai&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jeannie-mai-says-she-needs-to-disconnect-in-order-to-heal-following-jeezy-split-212935" rel="" target="_blank">broke her silence</a>, writing on Instagram, "Sometimes you need to take a break and disconnect, to heal."</p>

<p>That same month, in an interview with ET,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jeannie-mai-on-raid-the-cage-daughter-monaco-and-how-shes-doing-amid-jeezy-split-exclusive-212958" rel="" target="_blank">Mai revealed</a>&nbsp;how she's doing in the wake of her split.</p>

<p>"I'm taking it day by day and thankfully being able to have a show like this and be able to do something that you enjoy doing takes your mind off things," Mai said of&nbsp;<em>Raid the Cage</em>, the new game show she's hosting. "I'm just focusing on Monaco and focusing on things that I'm passionate about. When you're surrounded by people, you just get to laugh and look at things that you enjoy doing in life."</p>

<p>Jeezy spoke out shortly thereafter,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jeezy-breaks-his-silence-on-jeannie-mai-divorce-213329" rel="" target="_blank">telling ET in a statement</a>, "The decision to end this chapter in my life was not made impulsively and comes with a heavy heart."</p>

<p>"Despite this, my love and respect for Jeannie remains and the time we spent together holds a cherished place in my heart," his statement continued. "Our beautiful daughter is the best gift from our relationship and I am committed to assuring she feels the love and stability she deserves. During this period, I kindly request that you respect our family's privacy as we focus on healing."</p>

Jeezy Accuses Jeannie Mai of Acting as a 'Gatekeeper' of Their Child, She Implies He Cheated

<p>It's a golden holiday for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/nick-cannon" rel="" target="_blank">Nick Cannon</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;Brittany Bell!&nbsp;On Thursday, the&nbsp;<em>Masked Singer</em>&nbsp;host and former&nbsp;Miss Universe Guam shared several snapshots from their family's holiday photo shoot on Instagram.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The pair share three children together:&nbsp;Rise Messiah, Powerful Queen, and Golden Sagon. The golden-themed holiday shoot, shot by photographer&nbsp;Amber Rain, features each family member in a color-coordinated outfit, from Brittany's gold gown to Nick's sequined tuxedo jacket.</p>

<p>Powerful Queen is dressed in a golden mini-dress, similar to her mother's, while her brothers,&nbsp;Rise Messiah and&nbsp;Golden Sagon, sport a gold waistcoat and shimmering blazer.</p>

<p>"The Holidays are here," <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0SqAV1RDe6/" rel="" target="_blank">Nick captioned his gallery of photos</a>, featuring a beautiful family shot and pics of him with each child.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Brittany shared <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0POFnIJkyQ/" rel="" target="_blank">several posts offering more insight into the photo shoot</a> on her Instagram page, including that her love for&nbsp;<em>Disney's&nbsp;</em><em>Beauty and the Beast</em>&nbsp;and Princess Belle <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0TYQTOOOCZ/" rel="" target="_blank">inspired the theme of the holiday shoot</a>.</p>

<p>"Anyone who knows me knows: Belle .. not only one of my favorites but also my nickname since I was in high school -easily from my last name. It means beautiful in French and —the beauty from my favorite movie has a dad named Maurice. Well the dad who raised me is also named Maurice. 🥀 ✨I always loved Belle because she was willing to stay true to herself and be brave to challenge, sacrifice, and see what’s real beyond popular belief," Brittany captioned a photo featuring her and a&nbsp;resined enchanted rose gifted to her by the photographer. "Thank you @amberrainphotography for this sweet moment and special piece."</p>

<p>The mom of three even shared an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0QR5nlLDFT/" rel="" target="_blank">adorable photo of her children</a> captured towards the end of their shoot. "Welp— I call them THE WILD WILD BEST ✨You roll with the moments. Pants come off and the show goes on! 🤭✨" she captioned the photo featuring&nbsp;Rise Messiah, Powerful Queen and Golden Sagon, with the toddler dressed in his dress shirt and diapers. "@amberrainphotography caught in the moment literally!"</p>

Nick Cannon Shares Adorable Christmas Card With Brittany Bell and Their Children

<p>Congratulations are in order for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/uzo-aduba" rel="" target="_blank">Uzo Aduba</a>! The&nbsp;award-winning actress revealed that she and her husband, Robert Sweeting, have welcomed their first child.</p>

<p>On Thursday, Aduba took to her Instagram to announce that she had given birth and revealed that the couple welcomed a little girl they named Adaiba Lee Nonyem.</p>

<p>"My daughter. I've never been in love so quickly, so deeply in my entire life. I really don't know what to say, guys. My heart is full," she captured the two-photo gallery of her holding her newborn daughter in a hospital bed.</p>

<p>"Thank you, God. I have joy like a fountain. I have witnessed a miraculous thing, and I feel blessed to know you are ours," she added. "We love you so much, Adaiba Lee Nonyem - Daughter of the people, treasurer of the mother's names who came before you."</p>

<p>Aduba gleefully concluded her post by writing, "I'm a Mommy you guys. Motherhood. I've joined the club. I hear the dues are high, but the membership is completely worth it:). #grateful"</p>

<p>In the comments, the actress' famous friends shared their love and congratulations. "My God. This is so beautiful; congratulations on the expansion of your beautiful family Uzo 💜," her former&nbsp;<em>Orange Is the New Black</em>&nbsp;co-star, Danielle Brooks, wrote.</p>

<p>Octavia Spencer commented, "Congratulations. You’re glowing," alongside media personality Tabitha Brown, who wrote, "Congratulations and welcome to the Mommy club❤️❤️❤️ enjoy every second❤️❤️"</p>

<p>Aduba&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/uzo-aduba-is-pregnant-with-her-first-child-see-her-baby-bump-on-2023-tony-awards-red-carpet-206205" rel="" target="_blank">revealed she was pregnant back in June</a>,&nbsp;debuting her burgeoning baby bump as she walked&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/gallery/tony-awards-2023-red-carpet-arrivals-206202" rel="" target="_blank">the red carpet at the 2023 Tony Awards</a>&nbsp;at the&nbsp;United Palace Theater in New York City.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The&nbsp;<em>Mrs. America</em>&nbsp;alum -- aptly decked out in a bright orange Christian Siriano suit ensemble -- unbuttoned her suit jacket to give fans a better look at her burgeoning bump while she also cradled her stomach as she posed for snapshots and smiled. She&nbsp;also posed for some sweet, beaming pics with her filmmaker husband.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="e7cc9ad7-a7c5-496b-9e5c-a89d72c83815" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>The star even gave her fans a <a href="https://www.etonline.com/pregnant-uzo-aduba-shares-a-peek-inside-her-intimate-baby-shower-more-excited-with-every-day-209606" rel="" target="_blank">little peek into her intimate baby shower</a>&nbsp;in August.&nbsp;</p>

<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-4">"Our Baby Shower:). It was such an amazing feeling to have our families host a baby shower for us, and to spend great time with our loved ones. Robert and I get more and more excited with every day," Aduba captioned a two-slide gallery that teased the celebration thrown by her family on Instagram. "To our friends and family- thank you for sharing in this journey with us and for making sure this baby knows just how loved they already are. We had a good good time!"</p>

<p>The first slide features Aduba and Sweeting beaming as they cut into a beautiful cake, while the second one shows the parents-to-be posing in front of a balloon-and-flower arch with a sign for "Baby Sweeting."</p>

<p>And although the&nbsp;<em>Orange Is the New Black</em>&nbsp;alum told her fans that her choice to wear a pink dress for the occasion was&nbsp;"hinting at nothing," it seems there might have been a subconscious clue thrown out there!</p>

<p>"I honestly just liked the color. 🤗😉 #babyshower," she wrote.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CvxZuryxJI9/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Aduba first&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/uzo-aduba-reveals-she-secretly-married-robert-sweeting-last-year-171900" rel="" target="_blank">revealed in September 2021 that she and Sweeting had tied the knot in secret</a>&nbsp;a year earlier.</p>

<p>"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible," Aduba captioned a pic from her wedding day, quoting Nora Ephron's&nbsp;iconic line from the&nbsp;Billy Crystal-Meg Ryan rom-com&nbsp;<em>When Harry Met Sally.</em>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"For some, it feels like we wait our whole lives for our someone," she shared. "My love, I’m so happy my life started last year with you."</p>

<p>Cheers to the growing family!</p>

Uzo Aduba Gives Birth to First Child With Husband Robert Sweeting

<p>Despite claims that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-golden-bachelor" rel="" target="_blank"><em>The Golden Bachelor</em></a>'s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-golden-bachelor" rel="" target="_blank">Gerry Turner</a>&nbsp;wasn't honest about his&nbsp;not-so-golden romantic past, a&nbsp;source close to the situation tells ET that the statements alleging the 72-year-old lied about a prior relationship after the death of his wife are untrue.</p>

<p>"Gerry was open with the golden women in the house about his approximately year-and-a-half-long relationship with the woman referred to as 'Carolyn,'" the source claims.</p>

<p>The alleged relationship in question was revealed in a story published by&nbsp;<em><a aria-label="The Hollywood Reporter" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-ex-girlfriend-speaks-out-1235683869/" href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-ex-girlfriend-speaks-out-1235683869/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-ex-girlfriend-speaks-out-1235683869/">The Hollywood Reporter</a></em>&nbsp;on Wednesday. The outlet reported that despite the elaborate vetting process that ABC put the retired&nbsp;restaurateur through, several alleged inconsistencies contradict the narrative painted of Gerry's work history and recent romantic entanglements.</p>

<p>A woman, referred to only as Carolyn in the article, claimed that she began a nearly three-year relationship with Gerry just a month after his wife's death in 2017. "The idea that I'd go out with a recent widower just mortifies me," Carolyn said. "I just really didn't see it. Until I went back and looked at my text messages, I never realized Gerry's texts had turned hot and heavy so relatively soon."</p>

<p>Carolyn, who is 14 years Gerry's junior, claimed that she moved in with Gerry for a year and nine months and alleged that he promised her mother that he planned to marry her.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="67fb7f80-8805-46cb-8451-83fc0cfa6fc3" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-ex-girlfriend-speaks-out-1235683869/" rel="" target="_blank">According to <em>THR</em></a>, Carolyn claimed that the Gerry depicted on ABC's reality series differs from the one she was in a relationship with. She alleged that he made several unreasonable demands, including that she make the bed before breakfast every day.</p>

<p>Among the allegations, Carolyn claimed that Gerry&nbsp;denied her a chance to accompany him to a high school reunion because she'd put on weight. And, when she suffered an injury right after they broke up, Carolyn said Gerry accused her of trying to "prolong her stay" in the home they shared.</p>

<p>"I really wish this would've worked out," she claimed the widower told her as she left Gerry's house on Big Long Lake for a hotel. "Call me when you get to your hotel, so I know you made it safe."</p>

<p>The picture painted of Gerry is a starkly different depiction than fans have received since the widower and father of two was announced as the inaugural leading man for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/bachelor" rel="" target="_blank"><em>The Bachelor</em></a>'s senior spinoff series&nbsp;in July.&nbsp;</p>

<p>ABC's press release revealed that Gerry married his high school sweetheart, Toni, in 1974, and they shared daughters Angie and Jenny and granddaughters Charlee and Payton.&nbsp;Since his role was announced, the Indiana resident has been candid about&nbsp;his marriage to Toni, who died in 2017 after <a href="https://www.etonline.com/the-golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-breaks-down-in-tears-recounting-his-wifes-sudden-death-in" rel="" target="_blank">becoming ill just six weeks after she retired</a>.</p>

<p>Telling ET that they had a "typical but beautiful life, full of love, full of activity," Gerry shared that he and his late wife closed on their dream house the same day that Toni retired.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="458cf6d3-63f7-4c9d-9a2e-bc8ce5c3a19c" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="related_left"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"From June 6 on, it didn't go according to plan at all. She became ill and her situation got worse over a couple of weeks," Gerry said, choking up as he recounted the difficult period. "We went to the emergency room and she had a bacterial infection that infected her kidneys and infected her liver. I took my wife to the emergency room on July 7. She passed away on July 15."</p>

<p>"Being a bit of a hothead as she was, she'd say, 'Get the hell out there and get going with this.' But I think in reality, she'd be thrilled for this," Gerry <a href="https://www.etonline.com/the-golden-bachelor-gerry-teases-how-fantasy-suites-will-be-quite-different-than-past-seasons" rel="" target="_blank">added</a>.&nbsp;"We talked frequently as time went on... about what we expected for the other if one of us didn't live forward, and it was, like, we both wanted the other to be happy. She would be very encouraging."</p>

<p>When speaking about his life after Toni died, Gerry was <a href="https://www.etonline.com/the-golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-opens-up-about-finding-love-again-after-his-wifes-death-exclusive" rel="" target="_blank">candid about being consumed by his grief</a>.</p>

<p>"After Toni passed away, there were many, many dark days. And I keep thinking, 'OK, I'm better. I'm to the point where I'm OK,'" he told ET. "And finally, you know I haven't shared this very much, but it was about three years in and I have a good friend that recommended a grief counselor. So I went and had a couple visits with the grief counselor and the guy told me, 'You're OK.'"</p>

<p>While talking to&nbsp;<em>People</em>&nbsp;in September, Gerry&nbsp;<a href="https://people.com/golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-says-women-got-along-except-one-incident-exclusive-7975285" rel="" target="_blank">shared that he had tried dating after Toni's death</a>, but the relationships didn't work out.</p>

<p>He said, "I've dated a number of times since Toni's passed, more recently than back closer to when she's passed. One failure led to another for a variety of reasons. For one reason or another, the attempts didn't work out. I could give you a wide range of reasons, but it doesn't really matter. It was actually about three and a half or four years, I just finally realized that, 'OK, I'm happy with myself. If I am going to be alone, I can deal with it.'"</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="cdf3086d-0ab4-4fa3-8f35-eb2197f0c77d" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"Somehow, I got it in my head that if you grieve for a year, that at the end of the year you should be OK. It absolutely wasn't the case," <a href="https://people.com/golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-discusses-dating-failures-after-wife-toni-death-exclusive-8407982" rel="" target="_blank">he later told the outlet</a>.</p>

<p>Heather Lanning-Adams, a woman who claims to be Gerry's good friend, shared a similar version of events with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/9257984/golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-dated-multiple-women-show/" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">the&nbsp;<em>U.S. Sun</em></a>&nbsp;last month.</p>

<p>Heather, a former waitress at a bar and restaurant located next to Gerry's lake house, told the outlet that while Gerry dated before joining the show, he could never find love again.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"He dated a couple of women. They weren't long-term, but they weren't short-term either," she shared. "He was with a couple of women for a decent amount of time, but it just didn't work out...&nbsp;I think it goes back to whether you're there for the right reason or not."</p>

<p>As for the alleged contradictions concerning his work, the widower has never tried to hide his various sales and management positions.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerry-turner-44b3b318/" rel="" target="_blank">Gerry's LinkedIn profile</a> has always been available to view.</p>

<p>ET has&nbsp;reached out to ABC and Gerry for comment on Carolyn's claims.</p>

'Golden Bachelor's Gerry Turner Was Open With Contestants About Relationship After Wife's Death: Source

<p>Despite a bumpy romantic past, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/lenny-kravitz" rel="" target="_blank">Lenny Kravitz</a> is still open to love.&nbsp;In an intimate&nbsp;<a data-component="link" data-ordinal="1" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" href="https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a45855819/lenny-kravitz-interview-2023/" target="_blank">interview with&nbsp;<em>Esquire</em></a>&nbsp;published on Wednesday, the 59-year-old singer opens up about everything from <a href="https://www.etonline.com/lenny-kravitz-gets-completely-naked-for-steamy-new-tk421-music-video-213009" target="_blank">his first studio album in five years</a>, his struggles with critics in the entertainment industry, and the infidelity "curse" his father, Sy Kravitz, put on him.</p>

<p>"In the spiritual world, it's called a word curse," Kravitz tells&nbsp;<i>Esquire</i>&nbsp;Digital Director Madison Vain about his father's declaration that he will cheat on women as the TV news producer cheated on Kravitz's mother, <em>The Jeffersons</em> actress Roxie Roker. "It goes back to anything in the Bible where God spoke everything before it was done. 'Let there be light.' The light just wasn't there! He spoke it into existence."</p>

<p>"I felt it when he said it, but the shock waves lasted decades and got stronger and stronger and stronger," the rocker adds.</p>

He and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/lisa-bonet" rel="" target="_blank">Lisa Bonet</a>, who&nbsp;tied the knot in 1987 before divorcing in 1993, have&nbsp;earned the title of friendliest celebrity exes.&nbsp;The former couple shares a daughter,&nbsp;<a data-component="link" data-ordinal="2" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" href="https://www.etonline.com/people/zoe-kravitz" target="_blank">Zoë Kravitz</a>, 34.</p>

<p>After Bonet,&nbsp;Kravitz&nbsp;briefly dated Kylie Minogue in 1991, although little is known about his relationship with her. The "American Woman" singer then dated singer and model Vanessa Paradis for five years, breaking up in 1997.&nbsp;He produced her 1992 self-titled album, and the couple&nbsp;recorded a duet together titled "Silver and Gold."</p>

<p>"I was madly in love with her. Vanessa was the perfect woman, but she came at the wrong time," he explained to <a href="https://www.parismatch.com/Culture/Musique/Vanessa-Paradis-best-of-album-144812" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Paris Match</em></a> in 2009.&nbsp;"I have never seen her since. She did not come to my concerts; we did not have any more contact. I can only wish her happiness. But I am not worried. I know that one day we will run into each other. And it will be time to talk about all this."</p>

<p>After Paradis,&nbsp;Kravitz&nbsp;dated Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima, popping the question to&nbsp;her in May 2002. But by 2003, the couple ended their engagement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kravitz then got engaged to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/nicole-kidman" target="_blank">Nicole Kidman</a> not long after his previous engagement fell apart.&nbsp;The pair kept their relationship under wraps -- it wasn't until 2017 that fans knew they were almost married.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/news/210649_nicole_kidman_confirms_she_was_once_engaged_to_lenny_kravitz_talks_working_with_his_daughter_zoe" rel="" target="_blank">Kidman spilled the beans about their failed engagement</a> in&nbsp;<em>The EDIT&nbsp;</em>of February that year while promoting <em><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/big-little-lies" target="_blank">Big Little Lies</a>, </em>in&nbsp;which she starred alongside Zoë. "Well, I knew Zoë because I was engaged to her father,"&nbsp;the actress said&nbsp;of working with the younger Kravitz. "It's all in the family!"</p>

<p>The Australian-born star went on to praise&nbsp;the singer, sharing that were was no bad blood between them. "I love Lenny; he's a great guy," she said.</p>

<p>Kravitz was most recently linked to lingerie model Barbara Fiahlo in 2018.&nbsp;<em><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2018/01/08/lenny-kravitz-dating-barbara-fialho/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">TMZ</a></em>&nbsp;reported that the two were packing on the PDA that January, but they broke up sometime in the summer of that year.</p>

<p>"I won't lie to you," Kravitz tells <a href="https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a45855819/lenny-kravitz-interview-2023/" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Esquire</em></a>&nbsp;of his trouble staying faithful in his romantic relationships, "being confident that this is the person for me, always thinking something else may be better... It was hardcore."&nbsp;The singer confesses that it took years for him to get to a point where it got "better."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I put some people through some hard times," he admits.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="bf9f60ef-c5bc-4b8a-89ee-2450e4fc9633" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>But now that he is in a better place, Kravitz says he's still hopeful about getting married again. "The desire has always been there," he says. "The tools in which to do so have not always been there... I've grown enough. I've become stronger. I've become more disciplined. I've become more open to be able to do so. But it's been a very difficult thing for me to figure out."</p>

<p>And if life ever leads him to having more children, he's open to that as well. "I could not, and I could," he explains. "If it doesn't happen, I've done the best with Zoë that I could ever dream to do. If I was with somebody that wanted to have kids, absolutely. A hundred percent."</p>

<p>Until then, Kravitz is happy with his ever-expanding blended family.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As he and Bonet have stayed close after their split, the rocker is close to Bonet's other ex,&nbsp;actor&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jason-momoa" target="_blank">Jason Momoa</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Momoa and Bonet began dating in 2005 and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-momoa-and-lisa-bonet-tie-knot-secret-wedding-90366" target="_blank">officially tied the knot in&nbsp;October 2017</a>. The two share two children together -- daughter Lola, 14, and son&nbsp;Nakoa-Wolf, 13. And although&nbsp;Bonet and Momoa&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-momoa-and-lisa-bonet-split-after-16-years-together-177717" target="_blank">split in early 2022, after 16 years</a>&nbsp;together, the family still has lots of love and respect for one another.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kravtiz recalls a recent&nbsp;"crisis of parenthood" last year, in which both he and Bonet had to miss the New York premiere of&nbsp;Zoë's <em>The Batman</em>.</p>

<p>"'I got you,'" Kravitz remembers Momoa assuring them. "'I'm going to this one. I'll be there.'"</p>

<p>Momoa <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-momoa-says-he-and-lisa-bonet-are-still-family-as-he-supports-zoe-kravitz-exclusive-180092" rel="" target="_blank">attended the March 2022 premiere with&nbsp;Zoë's half-siblings</a>, gushing about his stepdaughter's work.&nbsp;"We're just so&nbsp;proud," the&nbsp;<em>Aquaman</em>&nbsp;star told ET&nbsp;of Zoë. "Lisa couldn't be here so we're representing, me and the babies. We're very&nbsp;excited to just be here. ...It's still family, you know?"&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It was beautiful," Kravitz shares.&nbsp;</p>

Lenny Kravitz on Possibly Remarrying and Having More Kids: 'The Desire Has Always Been There'

<p>Candace Bushnell's book,&nbsp;<em>Is There Still Sex in the City?</em>, is getting the&nbsp;reality TV spin, ET can confirm. The bestselling author has teamed up with&nbsp;Bunim/Murray Productions to develop a <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sex-and-the-city-follow-up-tv-series-in-the-works-122249" rel="" target="_blank">new reality dating series</a>&nbsp;inspired by the book.</p>

<p>Back in 2019, it was announced that&nbsp;Bushnell -- the bestselling author behind&nbsp;<em><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/sex-and-the-city" rel="" target="_blank">Sex and the City</a>, Four Blondes, Lipstick Jungle, The Carrie Diaries&nbsp;</em>and<em>&nbsp;One Fifth Avenue --</em>&nbsp;would <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sex-and-the-city-follow-up-tv-series-in-the-works-122249" rel="" target="_blank">write the pilot script for and serve as an executive producer</a> for a TV series inspired by the book.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Instead, as first reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://deadline.com/2023/11/sex-and-the-city-reality-dating-format-1235643033/" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Deadline</em></a>, the new concept will follow four real-life friends in their fifties who are looking for a love do-over as they leave their busy city lives for a dating utopia. They'll live together in a cozy country chateau where they'll have their pick of a different group of men in each episode. They'll try the boy toys, sample a senior-age player, be romanced by the rich guys and even get to flirt with their fantasy man.</p>

<p>The show's goal will be for the friends to find a contestant who will steal their hearts and "bring the sex back to the city."</p>

<p>Bunim/Murray is behind series such as Paramount's <em>The Challenge,</em> as well as CBS' <em>Buddy Games</em> and Paramount+'s <em>The Family Stallone</em>.</p>

<p>"Fifty-something women and above are the hottest new dating demographic, and I should know, I am one of them. Over the decades, I've dated men of all ages and I'm so excited to be working on a show that combines my passion for relationships with the chance to help women, like me, navigate a love do-over," Bushell said in a statement.</p>

<p>Bunim/Murray President Julie Pizzi added, "We feel that Candace's brand has grown with her audience and her expertise in the dating space is an incredible entry point for an immersive dating experiment." &nbsp;</p>

<p>Bushnell's 1996 book,&nbsp;<em>Sex and the City,&nbsp;</em>became the basis for HBO's hit show of the same name in 1998. The series celebrated its 25th anniversary in June, and&nbsp;has spawned two movies and a revival show, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/and-just-like-that"><i>And Just Like That</i></a>, which is <a href="https://www.etonline.com/and-just-like-that-season-3-everything-we-know-210221" rel="" target="_blank">currently in production on its third season</a>.</p>

A Reality Dating Show From 'Sex and the City's Candace Bushnell Is in the Works

<p>Bruna Biancardi and Neymar have officially called it quits one month after welcoming their daughter,&nbsp;Mavie.</p>

<p>The 28-year-old model shared the update on her relationship with the Brazilian athlete via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday. Per&nbsp;<a href="https://people.com/neymar-bruna-biancardi-split-month-after-daughter-birth-8407956" rel="" target="_blank"><em>People</em></a>, Bruna's message, translated from Portuguese, read, "This is a private matter, but as I deal with news, assumptions and jokes every day, I inform you that I am not in a relationship."</p>

<p>"We are Mavie's parents, and that is the reason for our bond," she added.</p>

<p>The model finished her message by saying she hopes this announcement will keep her out of the news from now on. "Thanks 🫶," she concluded.</p>

<p>The pair first went public with their romance in early 2022 and split briefly that summer before reconciling.</p>

<p>In June,&nbsp;Neymar -- who also shares 12-year-old son Davi Lucca with his ex-girlfriend, Carolina Dantas -- <a href="https://www.etonline.com/soccer-star-neymar-shares-public-apology-to-pregnant-girlfriend-bruna-biancardi-for-making-mistakes" rel="" target="_blank">addressed rumors that he had been unfaithful to Bruna</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CtwpGpfo_6p/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>The 31-year-old&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain forward took to Instagram to share a snapshot of himself and Bruna, and wrote a lengthy apology explaining why he was going public with his actions.</p>

<p>"I do this for both you and our family," Neymar wrote in the caption, via translated text. "Justify the unjustifiable[?] No need to. But I need you in OUR lives."</p>

<p>"I saw how much you were exposed, how much you suffered with all of this and how much you want to be by my side. And I stand beside you," he continued.</p>

<p>The soccer star admitted, in no specific terms, that he "did wrong with you all," and that he felt particularly bad because it hurt "one of the most special people in my life. The woman I dreamed of following beside me, mother of my child."</p>

<p>"Bru, I already apologized for my mistakes, for unnecessary exposure, but I feel obligated to come publicly reaffirm that," the lengthy mea culpa continued. "If a private matter has become public, the apology has to be public."</p>

<p>Neymar went on to say that he "can't imagine" his life without Bruna.</p>

<p>"I don't know if it will work between us, but TODAY you can be sure that I want to try," he concluded. "Our purpose will prevail. Our love for our baby will prevail. Our love for each other will strengthen us... I love you."</p>

<p>On Oct. 6, Bruna and Neymar <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CyFC5XIur7x/" rel="" target="_blank">posted a joint Instagram post announcing that Mavie</a> had been born, sharing several photos of the newborn baby girl. "Our Mavie came to complete our lives ❤️ 🙏🏼," the translated caption said. “Welcome, daughter! You are already very loved by us... thank you for choosing us ✨ God bless you!”</p>

<p>The soccer superstar -- who recently relocated to Saudi Arabia after signing a multi-year contract with Al-Hilal in August -- has not spoken out about the pair's breakup.</p>
