<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/susan-sarandon" rel="" target="_blank">Susan Sarandon</a>&nbsp;is opening up about her parenting style. The same month that Sarandon's&nbsp;daughter, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/ava-amurri" rel="" target="_blank">Eva Amurri</a>, described her upbringing as "a circus,"&nbsp;the&nbsp;76-year-old actress responded to the claim in an interview with ET's Matt Cohen.</p>

<p>Amurri, 37, made her statement on TikTok, explaining, "People in the industry, who grew up in the industry, sometimes liken the experience to growing up in the circus."</p>

<p>"You kind of spend these really surreal periods of time really closely intertwined with other people... You become so, so close almost like family. And then one of the things that's really disorienting about the acting world is then, when the project is done, a lot of times everyone just goes their separate ways and you kind of just disappear back into real life," she said. "It can be really sad sometimes... It's always a unique experience to grow up that way."</p>

<p>As for what Sarandon thinks about her daughter's point of view, she told ET, "I think normal is very overrated."</p>

<p>"I think everyone likes to go to the circus, so I don't see any problem with that as long as all the animals don't get too out of control," she said.&nbsp;"I think our life is unusual and they're exposed to lots of [things]. I dragged them with me whenever I worked, so they went all over the globe. I think it's one of the best things that I ever gave them, that view of their place in the world."</p>

<p>"Also, they're very flexible and adjustable and I think that's a&nbsp;really, really important thing for kids to have that adults have," Sarandon added. "So, no apologies here. I'll talk to her therapist, but I don't apologize."</p>

<p>Sarandon, who is also mom to Miles, 30, and Jack, 33, admitted that, to keep up with her kids, she does "go online and look."</p>

<p>"I go to Instagram, I go to Twitter. They tell me a lot," she said. "I go to my daughter's blog and that tells me a lot."</p>

<p>The actress'&nbsp;<em>Maybe I Do&nbsp;</em>co-stars take a different approach, with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/diane-keaton" rel="" target="_blank">Diane Keaton</a> telling ET that she finds it "best to stay on the outer bounds" when it comes to Duke, 23, and Dexter, 28. As for <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/richard-gere" rel="" target="_blank">Richard Gere</a>, he manages to get updates on 22-year-old Homer "straight from my son."</p>

<p>"He tells me a lot," Gere, who's also dad to 3-year-old Alexander, said of his eldest child. "Not because I’m trying, but we have a good relationship."</p>

<p>While they all have different styles when it comes to parenting, Sarandon, Keaton and Gere all agree that they were delighted to team up for&nbsp;<em>Maybe I Do</em>. Gere gushed that the cast, which also includes <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/william-h-macy" rel="" target="_blank">William H. Macy</a>, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/emma-roberts" rel="" target="_blank">Emma Roberts</a> and Luke Bracey, was "a true ensemble."</p>

<p>"Our director&nbsp;was&nbsp;really good about letting us kind of be who we are," Keaton noted of Michael Jacobs. "... It just made it all better because he didn't interfere in a way that stopped us from being those people."</p>

<p>"I trusted that when you work with people that come prepared, are kind of loose and ready to go with the wind, that's when the surprises happen, and that's when you really learn something," Sarandon added. "This group does great, so that really is what made the difference for me."</p>

Susan Sarandon Reacts to Daughter Eva Amurri Calling Her Upbringing a 'Circus' (Exclusive)

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes: A Timeline of Their Workplace Romance and 'GMA3' Exit

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/taylor-swift" rel="" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a>&nbsp;is putting her fans in a lavender haze! In the early hours of Friday morning, the 33-year-old singer delighted fans with the release of her music video for "Lavender Haze," one day after she announced its impending arrival.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8DLofLM7No">&nbsp;</div>

<p>The video fits perfectly with the meaning of the song, which&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-shares-how-joe-alwyn-inspired-midnights-opening-song-lavender-haze-192253" rel="" target="_blank">Swift confirmed</a>&nbsp;is inspired by her and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/joe-alwyn" rel="" target="_blank">Joe Alwyn</a>'s romance, and the lengths they go to&nbsp;quiet the outside noise.</p>

<p>"I happened on the phrase 'lavender haze' when I was watching&nbsp;<em>Mad Men</em>, and I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool, and it turns out that it's a common phrase used in the '50s where they would just describe being in love," she said. "If you were in the lavender haze that meant you were in that all-encompassing love glow. I thought that was really beautiful."</p>

<p>"I guess, theoretically, when you're in the lavender haze you'll do anything to stay there and not let people bring you down off of that cloud. I think a lot of people have to deal with this now, not just 'public figures,' because we live in the era of social media, and if the world finds out that you're in love with somebody they're going to weigh in on it," Swift added. "Like my relationship for six years, we've had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff and we just ignore it. This song is sort of about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff."</p>

<p>Swift wrote and directed the video, something she did for her other&nbsp;<em>Midnights&nbsp;</em>music videos, "<a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-reveals-how-she-asked-laura-dern-to-cameo-in-bejeweled-music-video-193261" target="_blank">Bejeweled</a>" and "<a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-attends-her-own-hilariously-dramatic-funeral-in-anti-hero-music-video-193100" target="_blank">Anti-Hero</a>." The latest release comes ahead of Swift's <a href="https://www.etonline.com/watch-senators-reference-taylor-swift-lyrics-during-ticketmaster-hearing-197979" rel="" target="_blank">highly anticipated</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-announces-eight-new-the-eras-tour-dates-193670" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Eras Tour</em></a>, which will kick off in March.</p>

Taylor Swift Releases 'Lavender Haze' Music Video

<p>Tracey E. Bregman has her Emmy Award back! On a recent episode of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/talk" rel="" target="_blank"><em>The Talk</em></a>, the 59-year-old&nbsp;<em><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/young-and-restless" rel="" target="_blank">The Young and the Restless</a>&nbsp;</em>star was surprised with a replacement Emmy after hers was destroyed during the Woolsey fire in 2018.</p>

<p>Bregman won <a href="https://www.etonline.com/awards/daytime-emmy-awards" rel="" target="_blank">the&nbsp;Daytime Emmy Award</a> for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series back in 1985, for her role of&nbsp;Lauren Fenmore on the CBS soap opera. Bregman's onscreen husband,&nbsp;Christian LeBlanc, surprised her on the talk show when he walked out carrying a black box.</p>

<p>"Are you kidding?" Bregman questioned, as LeBlanc made his way over to her. "Oh my gosh!"</p>

<p>"I would like to present this, an Emmy for Outstanding Ingenue of a Daytime Drama Series, but this time, it's from the people that love and respect you and cherish you, your CBS, your&nbsp;<em>Young and the Restless&nbsp;</em>family," he told her. "I am so honored to be able to give you this."</p>

<p>Bregman seemed stunned by the gesture, stating, "Oh my gosh. I can't thank you enough. Oh my God. I'm so overwhelmed."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqBXoC4Uf_c">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Afterward, in a statement to&nbsp;<a href="https://deadline.com/2023/01/the-young-and-the-restless-star-tracey-bregman-replacement-emmy-the-view-1235239781/" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Deadline</em></a>, Bregman thanked the&nbsp;National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for making the special moment possible.</p>

<p>"It has been one of the most extraordinary and heartfelt experiences of my career," she said of receiving a replacement statuette. "I tried not to go into the ugly cry on the air. Thanks to my <em>Young and Restless</em> family, NATAS, <em>The Talk</em> and everyone who made this moment happen. My heart is so full."</p>

<p>Adam Sharp, the President and CEO of NATAS, was thrilled to facilitate the happy moment.</p>

<p>"We were devastated to learn of the destruction of Tracey's home, and with it, her well-earned Emmy Award," he told the outlet. "As our judges acknowledged, the Emmy statuette is a symbol of her hard work and outstanding dedication to her craft. We are happy it’s back home where it belongs."</p>

'Young and the Restless' Star Tracey E. Bregman Given Replacement Emmy After Hers Was Lost in a Wildfire

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/ben-higgins" rel="" target="_blank">Ben Higgins</a>&nbsp;had a run-in with his ex's new man. The former Bachelor recently appeared on <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/chris-harrison" rel="" target="_blank">Chris Harrison</a>'s&nbsp;<a href="https://podbay.fm/p/the-most-dramatic-podcast-ever-with-chris-harrison/e/1674450000" rel="" target="_blank"><em>The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever</em></a>, and revealed that he and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/lauren-bushnell" rel="" target="_blank">Lauren Bushnell</a>'s husband,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/chris-lane" rel="" target="_blank">Chris Lane</a>, played at the same golf tournament.</p>

<p>Higgins met Bushnell during his season of&nbsp;<em><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/bachelor" rel="" target="_blank">The Bachelor</a></em>, which aired in 2016. They ended the show engaged, but <a href="https://www.etonline.com/news/217513_bachelor_couple_ben_higgins_and_lauren_bushnell_break_up" rel="" target="_blank">split up</a> the following year. Bushnell <a href="https://www.etonline.com/lauren-bushnell-marries-chris-lane-135068" rel="" target="_blank">went on to marry</a>&nbsp;Lane in 2019, and they've since welcomed two children, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/lauren-bushnell-reveals-she-drove-herself-to-the-hospital-after-her-water-broke-192923" rel="" target="_blank">Baker</a>, 3 months, and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/lauren-bushnell-and-chris-lane-welcome-first-child-164248" rel="" target="_blank">Dutton</a>, 2. Meanwhile, Higgins <a href="https://www.etonline.com/bachelor-alum-ben-higgins-marries-jessica-clarke-175148" rel="" target="_blank">tied the knot</a> with Jessica Clarke in November 2021.</p>

<p>While Higgins described his and Bushnell's split as "amicable," he admitted he wasn't too thrilled to learn that his locker was directly next to Lane's locker at the week-long tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I haven't seen Lauren since we broke up. I don't think I've seen her once. And obviously, life now has&nbsp;moved far beyond&nbsp;that relationship, but that relationship is still an important season or time in my life," he said. "And so I would be lying if [I said] I wasn't a little anxious at the idea of being at this tournament."</p>

<p>"No matter what we're all adults, so I wasn't worried about the outcome or how we would handle it. I was mostly just saying, 'Hey, this is a fun week of golf. This is going to feel odd. That first run-in, what's that going to be like?' I don't know if anybody out there... is super jacked to see somebody who they've split ways with in their life. Amicably, but they've split ways with them," Higgins added. "I was anxious about it, and then to walk into the locker room and see that, 'Oh, we're going to be definitely running into each other... We're going to be putting our shoes on, changing together.'"</p>

<p>The guys' first run-in didn't happen in the locker room, though. Instead, it happened when Higgins, Harrison and fellow Bachelor Nation star <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/wells-adams" rel="" target="_blank">Wells Adams</a> were at the hotel bar on the first night of the tournament.</p>

<p>"Right away, I saw him.&nbsp;He didn't see me [because] he&nbsp;kind of had his head turned. I walked up and I said, 'Hey Chris, good to see you,'" Higgins recalled. "I had told Jessica I wanted to say hi. There's a lot of things to congratulate him on... He's down here at the golf tournament for the first time [and] this is my fourth year, so I'm kind of a vet at this. And so I told her, 'If I see him, I'm just going to go say hi, because I would like to say hi anyways.'"</p>

<p>Harrison praised his pal for his decision to go up to Lane, stating, "You could've easily ignored the situation [and] acted like the elephant was not in the room... You guys could've easily just ignored each other and acted like this thing didn't exist and instead, you burst the bubble and say, 'Hey man, good to see you.'"</p>

<p>Higgins is certainly glad he behaved how he did, noting that the situation was "nothing but great" and even saying that "it's been nice to talk to" the country star."</p>

<p>"When I said that he could've been a jerk to me and he wasn't, so it moves it to a healthy place," Higgins said. "... He could've been like, 'Dude, don't talk to me,' and then it would've been like, 'Well, crap. Now we have four days of weirdness.' He didn't at all! It was a healthy interaction."</p>

<p>The men had multiple other interactions throughout the week, all of which went off without a hitch.</p>

<p>"It's been fun to be around them at this tournament and I'm glad we did it. When you go through a breakup, there's always that moment where the Band-Aid gets ripped off afterward and then you can start to heal," Higgins said, before noting that, if he did happen to see Bushnell during the tournament, ". It will be nice to say, 'OK, we've done this next chapter of our lives.'"</p>

<p>While things went well between Higgins and Lane, there was one awkward moment during the tournament. As Adams explained, he, Harrison and Higgins were eating dinner with a caddy at the event, who decided to look Lane up when his name was mentioned because he was unfamiliar with the country star.</p>

<p>"He finds a picture and he goes, 'Look, his wife's pretty freaking hot. Look at her!' He points the phone... at me and Ben. I had this look of utter terror," Adams recalled. "I was like, 'I don't know if you're messing with us or not... You know who that is, right?' He goes, 'No, it's a hot chick.' [I say,] 'That's Ben's ex! Who he got engaged to on television!'"</p>

<p>"He was going on and on about how hot Lauren was to Ben and Wells and I," Harrison added. "I finally just said, 'Buddy, you gotta stop talking. You gotta shut up'... It got worse and worse and worse, Ben Higgins."</p>

<p>Higgins admitted that the situation was "awkward for a long time," but he thinks it's "funny now."</p>

<p>"I just didn't say anything for a while, because I was like, 'This is so weird. I don't know how to respond... There's no good thing I can say here. There's no way out of this,'" Higgins said.&nbsp;"Finally when he finds out she's my ex, to heal it, he finds a picture of my wife and he goes, 'Well she's really hot too!' I'm like, 'Dude, stop!'"</p>

<p>Higgins chalked the whole thing up to "very weird life moments," stating, "It could've not gone better in real life than what I could've imagined. It's been a really good thing, there's just been these funny little moments in between."</p>

<p>When ET spoke to Higgins in August, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/ben-higgins-reveals-the-learning-curve-he-and-jessica-clarke-have-had-9-months-into-marriage-188647" rel="" target="_blank">he opened up</a>&nbsp;about his and Clarke's marriage.</p>

<p>"We're having a really good time," he gushed. "It takes a learning curve of figuring out what everybody's life wants to look like,&nbsp;and what the dreams are, and how you best support your partner."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's going really well," Higgins added. "I see it being a very successful marriage."</p>

Ben Higgins Reveals What Happened When He Ran Into Ex-Fiancée Lauren Bushnell's Husband Chris Lane

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/miranda-lambert" rel="" target="_blank">Miranda Lambert</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/brendan-mcloughlin" rel="" target="_blank">Brendan McLoughlin</a>&nbsp;are going strong! On Thursday, the couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary, and they both took to Instagram to mark the occasion.</p>

<p>Lambert shared several shots in honor of the big day, including one of her proudly holding up four fingers as McLoughlin kissed her cheek, and another of her and her husband smiling while standing side by side.</p>

<p>"Celebrating 4 years married today with my main squeeze @brendanjmcloughlin," she captioned the shots. "Happy anniversary babe! You are the best."</p>

<p>The final two photos of Lambert's post showed her standing behind her shirtless husband, something she knew would delight fans. "Y'all are welcome for the last two pics," she quipped in the caption.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4zNRUOzRP/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>McLoughlin also celebrated the day, sharing two smiling selfies with his wife, as well as a couple of solo shots of her.</p>

<p>"4 years down and a lifetime to go," he gushed. "Happy anniversary @mirandalambert."</p>

<p>Lambert and McLoughlin <a href="https://www.etonline.com/miranda-lambert-secretly-got-married-see-her-romantic-wedding-dress-119846" rel="" target="_blank">tied the knot</a> in 2019, four years after <a href="https://www.etonline.com/news/168403_details_on_blake_shelton_and_miranda_lambert_divorce_filing_as_cheating_rumors_swirl" rel="" target="_blank">her divorce</a> from <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/blake-shelton" rel="" target="_blank">Blake Shelton</a>.&nbsp;In <a href="https://www.etonline.com/miranda-lambert-on-her-long-journey-to-finding-love-peace-and-happiness-186583" rel="" target="_blank">a June interview</a> with <i>People</i>, Lambert opened up about her journey over the last decade.</p>

<p>"Going through hard things obviously makes you get to know yourself better," she said, seemingly alluding to her divorce. "When you get broken down pretty good, you look at the mirror and you go, 'I have to spend some time with me, learn who I am and what I want.' I got to a really good place with myself. Then I met my husband."</p>

<p>"It's nice to have... someone by your side that supports you, loves you and believes in you," Lambert added. "He loves me for me. It's a really cool thing to have in my life, at this point in my life."</p>

Miranda Lambert Celebrates 4th Wedding Anniversary With 'Main Squeeze' Brendan McLoughlin

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/pamela-anderson" rel="" target="_blank">Pamela Anderson</a>&nbsp;knew right away that things weren't going to work out with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kid-rock" rel="" target="_blank">Kid Rock</a>. Ahead of the release of her memoir, the 55-year-old actress appeared on SiriusXM's&nbsp;<em>The Howard Stern Show&nbsp;</em>and revealed how she knew her marriage to the 52-year-old singer wouldn't last.</p>

<p>Kid Rock was Anderson's second husband. She <a href="https://www.etonline.com/pamela-anderson-and-tommy-lee-a-timeline-of-their-whirlwind-relationship-and-tumultuous-marriage" rel="" target="_blank">was first wed</a> to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/tommy-lee" rel="" target="_blank">Tommy Lee</a>, with whom she shares two sons, Dylan, 25, and Brandon, 26. After Lee and Anderson called it quits in 1998, she married Kid Rock in 2006. The pair split the next year. Anderson noted that she knew things wouldn't work out with Kid Rock&nbsp;"right when I got married."</p>

<p>"Tommy and I... had this incredible connection. But then you jump into something and it's like, 'Oh, it's not this incredible connection, it's just something else,'" Anderson said. "Then I slowly try to find my way out."</p>

<p>As for why she decided to go ahead with the marriage anyway, Anderson explained, "I was putting people in my life to kind of numb some of the pain and be with someone."</p>

<p>"I don't think I ever gave myself a chance to have another relationship after that that was of any value," she said of life after her divorce from Lee. "It was more trying to put a family unit back together, but I wasn't really in love. I just was going through the motions and then realizing… there's just nothing like I had with Tommy."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES_wRuy7G0E">&nbsp;</div>

<p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/pamela-anderson-and-tommy-lee-a-timeline-of-their-whirlwind-relationship-and-tumultuous-marriage" rel="" target="_blank">what she had with Lee</a>, Anderson described it as "really a heightened kind of romantic beginning."</p>

<p>"That's every girl's fantasy --&nbsp;to be worshipped like that," she said.&nbsp;"I always felt like romantic love might not be sustainable, so if you want to have that kind of love affair, it's just going to have a season. It's not going to last forever."</p>

<p>Though their marriage didn't work out, Anderson said her relationship with Lee had "more good times than bad."</p>

<p>"I wouldn't do it any other way," she said. "It was just this wild, wild ride and I made it home in one piece."</p>

<p>Today, Lee is married to&nbsp;Brittany Furlan, with whom he tied the knot in 2019.</p>

<p>"He's married and happy and she's good to him and I totally support that and think that's great," Anderson said. "I respect their relationship and [am]&nbsp;just glad he's happy and he has somebody in his life."</p>

<p>As for her romantic life, Anderson has been married to five men, most recently to Dan Hayhurst.</p>

<p>"This last year I've been alone, and it's been a really incredible year for me. Just kind of going through, looking back, and reflecting on everything… it's been good," she said. "... You have to be able to be alone too before you can be with somebody else, so I feel like I'm just kind of growing up right now. It's taken a long time."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3OuaXkTCUI&amp;feature=youtu.be">&nbsp;</div>

<p>All of that and more will be explored in Anderson's memoir,&nbsp;<em>Love, Pamela</em>, and her Netflix documentary,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/pamela-anderson-addresses-stolen-sex-tape-in-documentary-trailer-197073" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Pamela, a&nbsp;love story</em></a>, both of which are due out Jan. 31.

Pamela Anderson Reveals When She Realized Kid Rock Was Not the One -- and Where She Stands With Ex Tommy Lee

<p>Some famous siblings are celebrating a big day! On Thursday, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/octomom" rel="" target="_blank">Nadya Suleman</a>'s&nbsp;octuplets turned 14 and marked the occasion by singing "Happy Birthday" to each other.</p>

<p>In a video obtained by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/25/octomom-nadya-suleman-8-babies-octuplets-happy-birthday-14/" rel="" target="_blank">TMZ</a>,&nbsp;Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Makai, Josiah and Jeremiah each hold a vegan doughnut&nbsp;with a candle as they celebrate themselves and each other. According to the outlet, all eight teens are vegan.</p>

<p>The birthday comes amid the siblings' eighth grade year. Back in August,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/octomom-nadya-suleman-shares-pic-of-octuplets-first-day-of-8th-grade-189335" rel="" target="_blank">Suleman, who became known as Octomom, shared</a> a shot of the eight teens heading off to school.</p>

<p>"First day of 8th grade. Be proud of yourselves kids for being kind, respectful, and helpful to all your fellow peers, teachers and staff. You are exceptional role models to the 6th and 7th graders," she captioned the smiling shot. "I love you."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/ChWQ08ROVZ0/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>In 2018,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/inside-octomoms-home-raising-14-kids-115936" rel="" target="_blank">Suleman spoke with&nbsp;<em>The New York Times</em></a>&nbsp;about letting go of the Octomom persona that she initially felt&nbsp;she needed to make money. Upon letting go of the “caricature,"&nbsp;Suleman said that she had&nbsp;a new perspective on life.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I was pretending to be a fake, a caricature, which is something I'm not, and I was doing it out of desperation and scarcity so I could provide for my family," she said. "I've been hiding from the real world all my life."</p>

Octomom Nadya Suleman Celebrates Kids' 14th Birthday With Sweet Treats

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/brooklyn-beckham" rel="" target="_blank">Brooklyn Beckham</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/nicola-peltz" rel="" target="_blank">Nicola Peltz</a>&nbsp;are living in wedded bliss! A source tells ET that the couple, who <a href="https://www.etonline.com/brooklyn-beckham-marries-nicola-peltz-in-lavish-star-studded-wedding-180944" rel="" target="_blank">tied the knot</a>&nbsp;in April, "are enjoying married life."</p>

<p>"They're at a point in their relationship where they really know each other and have grown a lot together as a couple," the source says. "Things are going well and they both support one another and have a lot of fun."</p>

<p>The relationship update comes after Beckham <a href="https://www.etonline.com/brooklyn-peltz-beckham-says-he-wants-to-be-a-young-dad-and-have-10-kids-exclusive-189014" rel="" target="_blank">told ET</a> that wants up to 10 children with Peltz.</p>

<p>"I've always wanted to be a young dad,"&nbsp;he said. "I would love to have a family soon, but whenever my wife is ready."</p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/nicola-peltz-reacts-to-husband-brooklyn-beckham-wanting-10-kids-exclusive-194165" rel="" target="_blank">Peltz reacted</a> to her husband's statement in a November interview with ET.</p>

<p>"That is really sweet,"&nbsp;she said of Beckham's excitement about kids. "We really do want a big family. We want to have some of our own kids and then we really want to adopt kids too."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the same interview, Peltz gushed that Beckham is "truly like my best friend."</p>

<p>"We’ve been together three years and I feel like I’m living with my best friend and also the love of my life, so it’s been nice," she said.&nbsp;"You have to marry your best friend."</p>
